An idea from my good friend "marvelomac1010." Time to see the new comic book that Lincoln made, and it's a whole new game changer for Ace Savvy, One-Eyed Jack and the Night Club! Enjoy guys.
Family of Two.
Chapter 129: Mother of the Ace.
(Deck City.)
The city is still and the night is as young as the next game of cards, and as of now the High Roller is making its way through the streets of Deck city, but apparently, no crime has been made or spotted.
One-Eyed Jack (Clyde McBride) is driving the High Roller through the empty roads. "Well, looks like no crime has been made or spotted, this marks day four of a nice and crimeless night."
(Someplace else.)
Ace Savvy (Lincoln Loud) is above the Deck City capital water tower and looking upon the streets with his newly made and enhanced night vision mask. "Darn right on that Jack, looks like all the villains have shuffled away from doing crime for the rest of the days to come before Christmas."
One-eyed Jack: So, should we call it a night and just let things be? Doesn't seem like crime will be dealing in for the rest of the week.
Ace then stands up and looks around. "We can't rest Jack, last time we did the Card Shark tried to run off with the Christmas trees from all over town and therefore nearly ruining Christmas. If it wasn't for the temporary alliance with Wild-Card Willy, then all Christmas would've been lost that night.
One-eyed Jack: Fair point. I'm gonna do another patrol around the west side of the national bank, and then drive by the Deck City asylum and then to the prison.
"Copy that, I'll be inbound to your position at the town hall. See you there." Ace then stops and he senses someone, someone he knows and he smiles. "Hey there, sis."
Coming out from the shadows, straight outta Royal Woods is the Night Club (Luna Loud.) She smiles and she goes over for a hug and Ace returns the hug. "Good to see ya little brother, glad I met up with you. The last time we saw each other was at one of my concerts and I'm glad you came there."
Ace smirks and they break the hug. "I was glad I went there to see you Lulu, I mean Night Club."
Night Club smirks. "No need to hide anything Spade. This night, there's no one else who knows about us and we're both alone and we know who we truly are."
"Okay, but why the heck are you here Lulu? Slow night?" asked Ace Savvy.
Night Club sighs. "No, I need some help and it involves with an enemy who I need some detective work to take down and even the Royal Woods Police force is having a hard time finding an old enemy of mine."
Ace smiles. "Then you came to the right detective sis, I'll help you, but I need to contact one-Eyed Jack and then we can get moving." They both begin to walk away from the tower. "By the way, who is this enemy who you're trying to take down?"
Night Club then speaks who it is. "The Sports Luckiteer." They both leap off the rooftops to look for the High Roller, but deep down Night Club was feeling upset, upset about the last time they fought one of her enemies.
'So glad the Gambler did not know the truth, the truth behind me and Ace that we're not siblings.'
(Royal Woods Police Station.)
At the rooftop, the commissioner of the police force is waiting with the Club signal lit up and pointing to the snow clouds. Her name is, Commissioner Lily P. Ingerly. (Lily D. Pingrey.)
Commissioner Lily P. Ingerly – 39 years old and has long blonde hair tied into a ponytail. Wearing a velvet shit underneath a brown trench coat and black pants and has a magenta scarf and her signature peacemaker pistol on her belt.
Lily then smirks. "Hey there Night Club, I kinda knew you were coming." she turns around and sees the Night Club leap off the radio antennae.
"What gave me away Commissioner? Was it the smell of rock n' roll?"
Lily walks towards her. "No, I just knew you'd come since this is kinda normal. We always do this, I signal you and give you info and then you come out of nowhere and I know you got friends with you too."
Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack come out of the shadows. "Greeting Commissioner Lily, we're here to help with the issue" said Ace.
Lily smirks. "Glad to have the savviest detective and his partner to help us. We have a lot to discuss."
They then go over to the table that has been setup with the files needed and they check them out. "Holy raw deals Ace, these are a lot of criminal records!" said One-Eyed Jack.
"No kidding in that Jack" said Ace Savvy. "The Sports Luckiteer has a long record of crimes, and far longer than the one The Old Maid and Card Shark have."
Night Club sighs. "Like I told you guys months ago. The Sports Luckiteer makes folks paranoid with superstition and makes them turn onto each other and not just that thought, ever since the month of December came she has been stealing exercise equipment and other sports based gear and we don't even know what she plans to do with them."
Lily then shows them the other folder with files. "She has been siding with some enemies we know and each one, she would bail on them, take what has been stolen and leave without a ding dang trace!"
They see all the villains Night Club has faced and each one has been betrayed after helping Sports Luckiteer, and each one wants to get even with her when she gets to jail with them.
"Hmm, have to spoke with each of them on Sports Luckiteer's whereabouts?" asked Ace Savvy.
"I tried talkin' to them, but all of them got the same answers. They don't know where she went off to, they just met with her after she broke them out of jail and the mental hospitals" replied Night Club. "I know they're telling the truth, my Axe has a new modification that can make them sing on what the truth is, and when I mean sing, I mean makes them tell the truth."
"But we did get some information from one of her goons and he said that she was stealing mascot suits and some sports folks too. Royal Woods had to postpone more than ten sports events because of the missing sports folks" said Lily. "No clue what else is the plan, but we have to stop her. If only we knew where she went."
Ace then thinks. "Hmm, have you guys went through all the abandoned hideouts she once went to?"
"We did, but no trace dude" said Night Club. "She's gone and not even showing up after days ago."
One-Eyed Jack looks to the pictures of each old sports-themed hideout and he sees something. "Guys! The Old baseball stadium by the edge of the town's borders!"
"Not to break the deck here Jack, but we went there and we found nothing" said Commissioner Lily. "We checked every nook and cranny and nothing."
"But look!" They look to the two images, the old and the new pictures of the abandoned baseball stadium. "There's a difference, there is no for demolition sign in the new picture, so she is there and she's hiding somewhere."
"Whoa! We did not see that coming, so she is still there and hiding someplace within" said Night Club.
Ace Savvy snaps his fingers. "She must be underground! The one place where no one would suspect she'd be!"
Commissioner Lily then recalls. "She always likes to be out in the open, but we never thought she'd go into hiding like this. Wow. You guys are pretty good at being detectives."
"Thank you, so should we move in to the Sports Luckiteer and have her deal out her criminal acts?" asked One-Eyed Jack.
Ace Savvy looks to Night Club and she knows what to do and say. "Let's go and deal out some justice!"
(The edge of Royal Woods' borders.)
Cop cars have arrived and a Swat team and everyone is standing by and ready, all while Ace Savvy, One-Eyed Jack and the Night Club sneak onto the roof tops of the old baseball arena and they look around for any signs of a secret entrances.
Lily: This is Commissioner Lily, everyone is ready to move in on your command. Also, there seems to be some security out here and they look like mascot suits.
Night Club sees them. "Got my sights on the deal Commissioner. Ace, you got something up your sleeve to shuffle these fools?"
Ace smirks. "We always do. Let's do this Jack!"
"Right behind you Ace!" One-Eyed Jack dives in first and he deploys some poker chips that ignite into smoke bombs, then Ace Savvy leaps into action and he tosses out some cards that send a mild shock and all the mascot suit guards are down.
Night Club comes down and looks to the guards and sees that underneath the suits, are robots. "Gamblers robot's, I should've known. We did get reports that her tech was stolen from the heavy duty evidence vault in the prison."
Ace Savvy pulls out some sharp cards. "Then eyes up and cards ready team, we don't know when…." The trap door underneath opens. "A trap is amidst. Yeah, I saw this one coming."
They all fall into the trap and into the darkness.
(Later.)
The Night Club opens her eyes and she sees her gear is gone, she's tied up and dangling from the top of the ceiling. "Yeah, this happened to me more than ten times."
She looks around and sees the underground lair has sports gear everywhere and sports stuff and scrap metal at the corner and then she sees the sports stars I mascot suits and the mascot suits are all linked to pipes and wires that all lead to a large vat in the middle of the lair, with an exercising machine on top of it, also connected to wires in the vat or energy.
Her gear is all in a corner of the room with the gear from Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack, and there are some robots in mascot suits walking around carrying blasters. (The Gambler's Robots.)
"Well, well. Look who's awake and ready to play ball!"
The figure comes out and is none other than Night Club's number one enemy.
Sports Luckiteer – 2 years younger than the Night Club, so she's 28. Brown hair and in a ponytail and dyed red at the ends of the ponytail, she has freckles on her cheeks and black paint underneath her eyes, and her pupils shift from different kinds of sports balls.
She's wearing a red and white leotard that has some sports balls patterns on them and a four leaf closer logo on her chest and back, her legs exposed and she's wearing white shoes with red socks that reach below her knees, red bracelets made of iron and painted red with four leaf clovers on them.
She's also a bit bulked up.
"You sick and twisted monster! What the heck is this? What are you doing to those people?" said Night Club in anger. Then she sees something is wrong. "And where are Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack?!"
Sports Luckiteer snickers." Why don't you just put a sock in it Nighty Clubs, I'll tell you where the dorks are, but for now you should know what my plan really is."
"As you can see, I stole all the machines to make this! This vat is from the Gambler, which I stole from her, because who cares! I had to tinker with all the machines I stole for spare parts and make the machines to absorb what those sports stars gave that I need, and that is the lucky spirit within them!"
Night Club is confused. "Dude, seriously?"
"Yes I am serious!" yelled Sports Luckiteer. She then calms down. "Those suits are draining them of all the luck energy they have and possibly they're life force too. They all gather into that vat and once it's all full, then I'll be on that exercise machine and then I'll absorb all the luck and I will never lose again!"
"I'll be the one in every sports event! I'll be the main event, the top gun player, the Greatest of all Time, the one woman team and the one to put Sports in Sports! All will be in may favor and I will win and possibly live, forever!"
Night Club is shocked to hear. "You monster! What the heck is wrong with you?!"
Sports Luckiteer snickers. "And the final piece of the puzzle. Then." she steps aside and the Night Club is horrified to see, Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack in a squirrel suit and having wires plugged in and draining them.
Sports Luckiteer laughs. "Nothing better than to get the lucky smarts of th savviest detective and whatever the other guys has, maybe good cooking skills? Whatever, and boy do they have so much luck in them!"
Night Club is enraged hearing this. She then has enough strength and she breaks free from her chains and she goes after Sports Luckiteer. "Let them go!" But then she's blocked by the robot guards, but thanks to her training she manages to fight them all off and now she's face-to-face with Sports Luckiteer.
"No one is gonna stop me Club, not even you!" Sports Luckiteer pulls out her dumbbell gauntlets and she goes in for the attack.
All while they're fighting. Ace Savvy opens his eyes and he feels weak and sees Night Club fighting the Sports Luckiteer, he then looks to One-eyed Jack. "J-Jack, we have to-to break outta h-here."
One-Eyed Jack opens his eyes as well, and he sees this. Both heroes still have one last card up their sleeve, something Sports Luckiteer didn't check. They both literally pull out saw cards from their sleeves. Handy, convenient and corny for the line.
Night Club then dodges all the punches from Sports Luckiteer and then she kicks her in the gut. "Ha! Lucky hit!" said Sports Luckiteer, she then tries to hit her again.
"Not luck, just skills brah!" Night Club then kicks her in the chest and then she grabs the right arm of her foe and tosses her to her robots and this makes them blow up. Night Club then lands as the smoke clears and she looks around for Sports Luckiteer.
She readies the powers she has, but then she's punched from behind and falls to the ground. Sports Luckiteer places her foot on the back of the Night Club and her gauntlets onto her arms and grabs her hair and she sees Ace and Jack being drained of their life.
"Let's watch as your pals are drained of their luck, forever!"
Night Club sheds tears seeing this. "No." She can see the fear and sorrow in the eyes of Ace, Ace Savvy the one she called brother, but in truth is not her brother.
"Don't…. Let them go!"
Sports Luckiteer laughs evilly. "Never! Soon, they'll be gone and I'll be unstoppable!"
"Night Club, don't give up. I believe in you!" said Ace Savvy, he's so close to breaking out of there.
Night Club recalls those words, words from long ago before she came back, from the time warp tunnel.
"Let go of my son!"
This makes them shocked and same with Sports Luckiteer. "Wait what?"
The Night Club then unleashes a fiery roar and it knocks back the Sports Luckiteer who hits the wall and the shelf of all her dumbbells falls onto her.
The Night Club then sees Ace and Jack break out of the suits and fall to the ground. Night Club goes to them and sees if they're fine. She can feel a pulse but they're faint. "Hang in there guys."
Ace opens his eyes and he sleepily looks to the face of the one who called her son. "N-Night Club… What?"
"Shh, let me handle this. I'm saving you, all of you." Night Club gets up and her axe goes towards her. She then looks to the large vat with all the life force of everyone and from Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack and her eyes glow purple fire.
She then summons her magnetic speakers from the guitar and they float above her and expand in size and she gets ready to send it up to eleven.
Sports Luckiteer gets out of the pile of her dumbbells and has a black eye and sees this. "No! Stop!"
The Night Club closes her eyes and takes a deep breathe, she opens them again and is stern. "Time to rock, roll and deal out some justice!" She does one heavy duty single rift and a powerful sound wave with her fire powers is sent out and hits the vat.
The vat then cracks and then explodes. All of the life force within flies out and all returns to the hosts they came from and even to Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack who they recover.
"Holy aces Ace! Did I just hear what we just heard from Night Club?" asked One-Eyed Jack.
"That later, her now!" said Ace Savvy. They see the Sports Luckiteer trying to run for it. "Not gonna shuffle out of this one so easy!"
Ace and Jack toss out a poker chip and card and they both explode into an electrical net and it tangles and ensnares the Sports Luckiteer, but she manages to get out and when she turns around she's hit face first by the boots of Ace and Jack. The Sports Luckiteer is knocked out.
"Looks she's all dealt out" said One-Eyed Jack and he fist bumps with Ace Savvy.
They then go to the Night Club and they help her free the sports stars from the suits. The main doors are blown up and coming in are the police. "You have no idea how many robots we had to fight through" said Commissioner Lily.
They go over and help free the sports stars and arrest the Sports Luckiteer, who has no memory of what happened, or what she did, or what she heard. Thank goodness!
To Night Club, her secret is safe, but she knows there is much more to explain, especially to Ace Savvy who is upset with her and what she just said.
(Later.)
On the rooftop of the Water Tower in Royal Woods. The Night Club sits by herself and looks to the full moon. She then turns to the shadows. "Ace, I know you're there. You and Jack never left, yet."
Ace Savvy comes out of the shadows. "Get up Night Club, we need to talk."
The heroine gets up and walks towards him. "What was all that about? Why did you call me your son?"
"Because….. You are" replied The Night Club.
Ace is wide eyed and he backs up. "N-No, you said you were my…"
"I know what I said, and I said those things to keep you from getting into any more danger from my own actions." Night Club then shows him a photo and he looks at it. "Spade, I am your mom. We haven't seen each other for nearly 25 years."
Ace is wide eyed. The photo is Lulu Nifty, at the age of 22 and with her in her arms is her 2 year old infant, Spade Nifty and both wearing card related gear. "B-But how?"
Night Club sighs. "Someone who messed with time and junk, went back in time to….. To kill you, so Ace wouldn't exist and we both got caught in this weird time tunnel and were lost and separated from each other. I don't know where you ended up, but I see that you came back to the timeline we came from, while I was lost in the tunnel fighting this hooded bad guy."
"I stayed in my early 20's and came back, only to hear….. That my boy, was gone. it took me some grieving and getting back to being the heroine I was, then I did some digging and….. I found you, but I didn't want you in danger again, I didn't. I had to keep you safe, and…. Lie to you, I'm sorry Spade. I'm so, so sorry."
Ace Savvy begins to shed tears and he looks to his mom who is a few years' older than him and it all made sense. "You're….. You're my m-mom?"
Night Club nods. "Yes, yes I am. Always have been and always will."
Ace then walks towards her and hugs her tightly and cries in her chest. "You're my m-mom…. I knew something w-was wrong. I knew we w-were more than si-siblings."
The Night Club sheds some tears of her own and she embraces her son, and runs her hand through his white hair. "I am, and I'm sorry for not being there for you, to see you grow up."
"I forgive you mom."
Ace Savvy and the Night Club stay in each other's embrace. Truly reunited, as mother and son, from a long lost time and for the first time, Ace feels like a part of him was back and for the Night Club, the hole in her heart has been filled with the return to the truth of who they are.
One-Eyed Jack watches this and sheds some tears, this truly was a touching and unexpected moment, but then he wonders to himself. 'Who was the stranger who tried to kill them both through time travel and where are they now?'
That is a mystery to deal with, for next time.
(The Loud House.)
Luna closes the comic book and wipes away some tears, she then looks to her son Lincoln who is fast asleep next to her on the bean bag chair and she puts the comic book away and carries her son to his bottom part of the bunk and she tucks him in.
She then kisses his forehead and she strokes his hair. "Goodnight kiddo, and I know that this story is gonna wow the crowd who reads this, and the creator too. I love you Linky, always and always kiddo."
In her hand, is the comic with the split picture of one being Ace Savvy and the other being the Night Club and the title: The Family of Aces.
A/N: What do you guys think? Took a long while and I am so glad I got help to make this possible, the real truth behind a secret and a new path for the Ace and the Night Club. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Thank you "marvelomac1010" for this idea and concept. This has gone better than I thought it would go. Thanks man.
You guys got a better title for the comic Lincoln made? He can change it to finalize it.
