"PLEASE, DELETE THE VIDEO!" Lori begged as she was on her knees with her hands clenched together as she stood in front of Preston and Piper. Yesterday, had been a nightmare with her accident occurring in front of a on TV. Reporters and people from the audience had recorded the incident and posted it online. What was most shocking to her is that the one that had the most views came from Stether themselves. They posted the video and included the part of her accident in front of everybody. Lori saw the how high the number viewers were and figured that everybody she knew had seen the video. Lori's own social media page was filled with comments about the incident, some were of sympathy and others were of mockery.

"No." Both Preston and Piper said at the same time.

Piper then said, "We believe the video is very important for people to see everywhere."

Lori couldn't believe their words, 'Important for people to see everywhere!?'

"B-B-But people are making fun of me everywhere! This girl from high school, Angel, she makes my life miserable in school and she messaged the video to every-"

"None of that matters." Preston said. "Think of the people who have bowels issues, they need to be represented more positively for generations."

"WHAT?!" Lori screamed. This was not the image she wanted of herself. She wanted to prove everyone that she was just as good at her siblings, not let the whole world know she has flatulence problems. "But I don't want to be the face for people who have issues pooping!"

The duo directors then scowled, not appreciating Lori's tone.

"If you don't have courage to represent people with bowel issues, then you don't have what it takes to be a strong female." Piper threatened.

"Perhaps we were wrong about you becoming the face for Full Deck: Rise for Power." Preston added.

Lori heart stopped. She couldn't lose her leading role! Not after being so close to fame! Not before proving herself! "No, you're right the video is important and should stay online." She immediately hated the words that came out of her mouth. Something told her to cut her losses and go home but her insecurity about exceling in a movie won out.

Preston and Piper smiled that their chosen star was coming along to their vision.

The bespectacled man wrapped an arm around Lori's shoulder to lead her away. "Good. Now let's go to the set and continue filming."

As she was led out the door, Lori clenched her stomach. To her horror, her sickness had not gone away. She really hoped this movie improved her image after what happened last night.

The security room of Flip's Food & Fuel was a dirty as ever, but Lincoln ignored it and looked through the camera footage. His eyes narrowed as he scanned each screen for any sign of Bill Buck. Nothing.

With a scowl, Lincoln stood up and edited out the footage of today and the next five and a half minutes. He exited the camera room and walked past the unconscious Flip behind the counter who had pink paint plastered on his forehead. Lincoln did not have the patience to pay the cheapskate for information he may or may not have had and would likely have drained him of his money.

Lincoln went home after he got a message from his friends, they had all remained unsuccessful in finding the creator of Ace Savvy. He wondered if their goal was pointless in finding the creator of Ace Savvy. The Pingreys had informed him that according to Lori, Bill Buck was not on the set of that new movie. If he was not there, then his sisters didn't know anything on Mr. Buck's absence. They probably wouldn't question about his appearance as they were too busy giddying about starring in the movie. Well, Lori was probably less giddy after going dookie on TV yesterday.

The preteen went upstairs to his room and decided to continue work on his passion project. He had Ace's parents killed by an explosion that seemingly came out of nowhere instead of being killed by the two thugs, Jeffrey Carden and Doug Stingler. In previous Ace Savvy incarnations, Ace would often hunt down a terrified Jeffrey Carden during his early stage in the costume and would indirectly end up getting Jeffrey killed. The most common, was Jeffrey falling out of a building. Doug Stingler was often neglected by writers and the fans but in the rare case where Ace would come across him Doug, his life was miserable and his family left him, he got addicted to gambling, and was dirt poor. Ace wanted to kill him so badly for the murder of his parents but once he saw the state he was in, let him live. Many fans speculated if it was out of mercy or revenge.

In his Ace Savvy: Godzilla comic, Lincoln had the 6-year-old Spade kill Jeffrey Carden because the man was trying to kill a baby Seif.

6-year-old Lincoln held the baby Colin to himself as he ran down the stairwell. The alarms continued to blare, and the lights continued to shine red. Lincoln reached the bottom and blasted through the door with an energy card. The door fell down and the boy entered a parking lot.

He heard someone gasp and saw a blond-haired woman who stood next to a green hovercar.

"Who are you? Where's Jeffrey?" The woman asked. Lincoln just stared at her, stunned.

The woman then noticed the baby in the boy's arm, her eyes widen in horror. She reached behind her back. Lincoln summoned an energy card in response. The woman took out a gun and aimed it, but Lincoln threw the energy card at her and exploded upon impact. The woman screamed as she was caught in the blue explosion and sent across the parking lot.

Lincoln ignored the woman and placed his baby brother who was still crying in the back of the green hovercar.

The 6-year-old got in the driver's seat and made the hover car levitate and drive away. They were out of the parking lot and into the field, Lincoln turned his head back to look at the lab facility behind him.

Lincoln smiled as he finished the issue, now on to the next one. So far, he had Spade and Seif having to live with Doug Stingler who was given a large sum of money by the orphanage to look after the two brothers, because the orphanage was overflowing with kids whose parents were killed by Citro Troopers and because of monster attacks that were blamed on Godzilla. Doug Stingler kept gambling and kept losing money and was constantly on the run because he was in debt to some dangerous people. Spade and Seif had to keep moving and moving, angry at his situation Doug would often take his anger out on Spade.

The wound on 9-year-old Lincoln's bleeding head slowly stitched itself up as he and his 4-year-old brother laid on the mattress in the attic. Doug and several adults had been partying non-stop downstairs had been filled with changing colors, loud music, and people screaming as if they'd lost their minds.

Lincoln flinched when he heard the loud crash. He hugged his knees to his chest as memories went into his head.

Images of him, dropping the energy card, the house exploding, seeing his parents' bodies, going to that orphanage, going jaded, being bullied by Stu, a giant human-like hand crashing through the house, being sent to a lab facility, killing the guards, killing the doctors, killing that man and woman, saving his little brother.

He gasped, opening his eyes; the party had died. It was now quiet.

With a sigh, he looked down at Colin, who had just fallen asleep. Lincoln was about to get off the mattress when he noticed something about the redhead, who's back was facing him.

Lincoln furrowed his eyebrows as he saw a purple mark on the back of Colin's neck. He slowly raised a finger and gently prodded the mark. This made Colin whimper.

The white-haired child's eyes widen in horror before he narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist. He stomped down the stairs, readying an energy card. He looked around the sleeping people, some of them were completely naked. He saw Doug sleeping on the bed and marched toward him. Lincoln raised the energy card up in the air, only to notice the bag at the bottom of the couch.

Lincoln dispersed the card and opened the bag to find that it was full of stacks of money. Lincoln looked at the bag, then looked back at Doug, then looked back at the bag. He narrowed his eyes and quietly zipped the bag close and slung it around his shoulder.

He tiptoed back upstairs and entered the attic. Colin was still asleep on the mattress. Lincoln bent down and gently shook his little brother's shoulder.

"Seif. Wake up." Lincoln whispered.

Colin groaned, before opening his eyes halfway to stare at his brother. "Spade?"

"Get dressed, pack your things, we're leaving." Lincoln whispered.

The two brothers had got into casual clothes and were fully dressed. They had packed their things into their backpacks, and Lincoln held the duffle bag of money.

Colin held his hand as they went down the stairs. The redhead glanced at all the sleeping grownups before glancing up at his older brother with a confused look. He followed Lincoln out of the front door. Lincoln stared back at the sleeping Doug with a look of hatred before slowly closing the door.

The next panel took place inside a large, cyberpunk skyscraper. The still 9-year-old Lincoln presented a board in front of the emancipation people.

"And the orphanage is overflowing as days goes by. So, in conclusion, I am qualified to look after myself and my little brother, pay for our schools, keep a stable job and pay our mortgage for a house." Lincoln wrapped up his presentation and smiled at the emancipation people.

The adults then talked amongst themselves before turning to Lincoln.

"Alright, we have decided to grant your emancipation request."

"Yes!" Lincoln cheered.

"We'll just need Stingler's signature and-"

"NO!" Lincoln yelled, before calming himself. "I mean, how about I save you the trouble and get him to sign it for you?"

Lincoln wrapped up the comic with an image of Spade smiling nervously as he handed them Stingler's forged signature and the last panel showed Spade and Seif standing in front of their new house.

The preteen smiled at his work. He placed his two comic books into his backpack and left the house.

Lola scowled as she watched the set. She had been ecstatic when the disgusting video of Lori had been made public. Don't get her wrong, she found the video gross, but she had hoped that Lori would be demoted and that they would pick the pageant champion as the star for the movie instead. After all, in the 6-year-old's opinion, she was the most suited for fame and glory. But the directors still kept Lori as the main character and simply continued production.

"Now, Lori, please be a dear and try to put more happiness into your tone." Preston advised.

Lori looked nervous, the comments about her accident online were still fresh in her mind and what's worst was that her stomach still felt sick.

"AND ACTION!" Preston shouted, holding up a megaphone.

"Yes, people are realizing the great things I can do," Lori said, with a struggling smile. "Now, I can-" She grunted and fell to her knees, clenching her stomach. "Now-

Lola ran and stood in front of Lori with her arms spread, to block her oldest sister from the camera's view. The pageant champion then said, "Now I can properly give the people a hero they both need and deserve and inspire others to be-"

"CUT!" Preston shouted through his megaphone.

"WHAT, WHY?!" Lola demanded.

"Lola, this is Lori's part. You ruined the shot, now back away." Piper explained in a displeased tone.

"But Lori would have taken FOREVER to get her part right!" Lola yelled.

Lori looked dejected at that.

"I, on the other hand, can say my lines correctly." Lola said with her nose in the air.

"Arguably." Lana muttered, as she remembered how her twin rehearsed after seeing the video about Lori.

"What did you just say!" Lola screeched, facing the tomboy with a death glare. Lana did not give her the look of fear Lola had hoped and instead rolled her eyes. This further enraged Lola as she looked about ready to run toward her twin and throttle her.

"Look, we know what we're doing so why don't you get out of the way so we can continue filming." Preston said, shrugging off the 6-year-old's attitude. Lola growled but went back to the side of the room with the other cast members.

"Maybe we should discuss the screen time given to all of us." Luna suggested. Lori agreed, hoping that it would get her sisters off her case and her stomach was still in pain.

"Don't worry about that, we already decided." Piper said, shooting down Luna's suggestion. Lori grumbled under her breath as she nearly dropped to one knee, but she managed to stable herself.

"Maybe we should discuss about helping Lori." Darly said. Lori smiled at that. The oldest Loud sister ignored the calls from Bobby and her friends as she didn't want to hear anything from anyone. She figured they would defend her, but she was too ashamed about what happened. It was nice to be defended, especially from someone she didn't know that well.

"We should redesign her utility belt so it can hold toilet paper." Darly sneered. The warmth Lori felt instantly evaporated. The whole crew who surrounded the set burst into laughter, even the security guards chuckled. Rube snickered with her hand over her mouth. Her sisters didn't join in on the laughter though.

The laughter made Lori sank her head and wished a large hole would form at her feet and swallow her up.

"Good one, Darly." Luan giggled nervously, as she placed a hand on the preteen's shoulder.

"Don't touch me." Darly warned, not even glancing at Luan. Luan winced and removed her hand.

"I don't get it, what's so funny?" Leni asked.

"Wow, that's a great idea, Darly!" Preston said, intrigued by the idea. He grabbed Lori by the waist and snatched the belt off her.

"Send this to the designers and tell them to add features so it can hold toilet paper!" Preston said, smiling widely. One of the workers grabbed it and left the room.

"B-but, Mr. Sieg!" Lori protested.

"Not now, Lori." Preston stated, waving away Lori. "Dominic, your scene is up. Get into position."

Dominic, who remained silent, walked on to the set while making sure to keep a distance between himself and Lori.

Piper herself got a new idea. She got up from her director's chair and approached Lisa.

"Lisa, you're a genius, right?" Piper asked, looking down at the 4-year-old.

The young prodigy smiled. "Why yes I am. In fact, recently I was-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Piper dismissed. "I have an important job for you to do."

Lisa's eyes sparkles. She ignored the glares being sent to her by her sister units. Would the director request her assistance with the script, would she be allowed to make an educational movie instead of a superhero movie?

"Did you seen the video of Lori losing control of her bowels?"

Lisa frowned with confusion. "Yeah?"

"I want you to write an article about the incident at the mall, telling how it's important to represent those with bladder issues and how Lori was very brave for doing that." Piper said with a smile.

"...Affirmative." Lisa sighed. Piper ignored the disappointment in Lisa's voice.

"Um, Mrs. Jander? Can I talk to you for a second?" Lori asked. Not wanting an article to be written about her accident.

"Shush, Lori." Piper said, dismissing the blond and escorting Lisa away.

Lori cringed, grabbing her hair and resisting the urge to pull at it. Why couldn't the directors understand how the incident made her feel!? She then groaned again at the pain in her stomach. She had wondered if Lincoln had anything to do with her sickness, seeing as how it fall into one of his numerous vengeful plans. Either by needle injection, force-feeding, 'kindly' offering something that expired (that one usually goes for Lana) or doing something to his own food and waiting for someone (Lynn) to steal it. But the thing was, Lincoln was not here, he was at home in Royal Woods. Of course, she knew Lincoln was angry with them and was probably thinking of how he's going to make them pay. Maybe she should ask the people at Stether to see if their cameras caught footage of her brother.

Without warning, Luan decided to make a joke. Now Luan was infamous for sometimes telling jokes at an ill time. This has often landed with her into trouble and has even gotten her into fights with her siblings. She did not see the red flags that formed on Lori's face.

"Hey, Lori, while we're on the set. You should try to smile and not be a real stinker. Hahaha! Get it?" Luan joked.

Lori saw red, she lunged for Luan and tackled her into the floor. Any rational thought in her mind was gone, only the desire to shut her stupid comedian sister up. The blond started slamming her fists into Luan's face.

Left and right, left and right. Luan's head was forced to both sides repeatedly. Blood started splattering out of her mouth, she was given a black eye, a bruise on her cheek, and a bloody nose. The comedian tried to raise her hands to defend herself. But this only bruised her hands in the process.

Both sisters heard Preston gasp and cried, "Girls, this is un-stunning behavior! Security, code red!"

"YOU WANT TO SOME MORE JOKES?! YOU STUPID UNFUNNY- AAAAAAAAHHHHH!", Lori screamed as bolts of electricity poured through her body. She soon fell on her side, revealing two guards in gray and green holding electric batons.

"Woah, that was shocking wasn't it. Hahaha! Get it?" Luan joked, although there was nervousness and pain in her voice.

The two guards stared at each other, caps hiding the looks in their eyes. Then without warning, one of them jammed the electric baton into Luan's stomach. Luan chittered as she was electrocuted before lying unconscious. For a while, nobody said anything.

"Now is there an opening for the main character role?" Lola asked, disregarding what just happened. This earned her looks of disapproval from her remaining conscious sisters, including Lily.

The printing store was busy as the lines for public printing were long. He gripped the strap of the duffle bag around his shoulder and headed into one of the rooms for private printing.

He inserted his debit card and adjusted settings on the printer. He placed the bag on the floor and bent down to unzip it, but he stopped. He turned to the camera behind him and saw how it was focused on him and the entire room. Lincoln hesitated but opened up his bag and placed his comic on the scanner. He activated it and watched as each page of his comic was copied. He had several pages copied; it was good to have backups just in case.

Unaware to the preteen, the camera above him moved and began to zoom in on what was being copied.

After attaching each page and placing the copied comic into his duffle bag. He zipped the bag up, slung the strap on his shoulder and exited the printing store with a smile.

His smile dropped when he saw a bunch of kids wearing red and yellow jerseys on the opposite side of the sidewalk and on the side that lead to his home. He recognized the kids by their uniforms.

The Royal Woods Rooster football team, another group that did not like him and wanted to beat the living crap out of him. If not for the risk of messing up the space-time continuum, Lincoln wished he could go back in time and make sure he didn't score for the wrong team. The Royal Woods Rooster held one heck of a grudge.

Lincoln walked in the other direction to avoid them. He couldn't risk the copies of his passion project getting damaged in a fight.

As he walked, he remembered what happened after he scored the wrong team. First Lincoln ran, he got a Charley Horse and pounced by two of the football teams before managing to throw them off. Lincoln then ignored his Charley Horse and ran for miles; the football team had been relentless as they pursued him. They chased him through a shooting range, a pond, a busy motorway, and a few other areas before cornering him at an active baseball field. Lincoln remembered how he took the baseball bat from this other kid and then...

He stopped and noticed himself in front of the mall, the same mall where Leni worked and the same place where that disastrous convention took place. With a sigh, he entered. The Royal Woods Rooster would be hunting him for a while, and he didn't want any harm to happen to his projects.

Lincoln was surprised when he entered. All the props from the Ace Savvy convention were still here. He figured that they all would have been taken down by now due to how long it's been. Come to think of it, he hasn't really explored the convention. At first, he focused on getting the judges attention before realizes they were bias activists and then he went to see the Kitty to get its autograph before dumping its box of kitty litter on it after that thing scratched him badly.

As he walked around, he gave credit to where credit was due. Some of the props look nice, especially the large props modeled after skyscrapers. It made Lincoln feel like he was walking down a real city. Lincoln stopped when he saw the High Roller, the powerful vehicle driven by One-Eyed Jack, in its amazing glory on display. The attendant stood by the High Roller. The High Roller attendant then noticed him and said, "Hey, I know you!"

Lincoln froze. No, no, no! It was only a dream! How could he recognize him! He didn't seek out those directors' attention any further! He didn't even touch the High Roller! Lincoln was about to make a run for it.

"You're that kid from the Devil Knight commercial!"

Lincoln sighed with relief. He remembered the commercial he was in that promoted Devil Knight's new action figure.

Two seven-year-olds were playing in an empty playground when they were approached by Lincoln. The younger kids stared up at Lincoln in confusion. Lincoln stared at them with a jaded look. His lips curled upward before turning into malicious grin with his eyes turning completely red. Lincoln lunged at them but let out an inhuman shriek as he was blasted by a green blast.

The younger kids turned to see a man in a green sci-fi armor, wearing a helmet with a red visor. He was holding a laser gun.

"DEVIL KNIGHT!" The boys cried out in excitement.

Devil Knight simply out Devil Knight action figures in each hand.

"Join the fight and beat up the demons! With Devil Knight's brand-new action figures! Each sold separately!" The announcer voiced.

Devil Knight is a mute, violent superhero that protected people from demons. He's a violent superhero but Lincoln wouldn't call him an anti-hero. In spite of Devil Knight's violent nature, he was actually of a sweetheart.

The preteen yelped when someone slammed into his legs. Lincoln gripped his duffle bag and was about to kick his attacker off, only to realize who it was.

"Simon?" Lincoln asked. He was taken back when the blond kid looked up at him with a look of pure horror.

"LINCOLN, IT'S JUST AWFUL! STETHER! ACE! THEY! THEY JUST!"

"Woah, woah, woah! Slow down, Simon. Take a deep breath." Lincoln reassured.

Simon inhaled then exhaled. He did not look relieved, but he looked like he could speak clearly now.

"Now, what's wrong?" Lincoln asked.

"ACE SAVVY IS GONE!"

"Huh?" Lincoln replied.

"ALL THE ACE SAVVY STUFF, THEY'RE GONE!" Simon screamed.

It took a while to process what Simon had said before it dawned on him. His eyes widen and he yelled, "WHAT!?"

He bolted into the toy store and ran down the superhero aisle, the section that would usually display Ace Savvy action figures were empty. There weren't even any Lego Ace Savvy toys. Lincoln ran into the video store and found that all the Ace Savvy movies and TV shows were absent from where they usually sat. He ran out the video and into the party store, all the Ace Savvy party supplies were gone. There were no Ace Savvy plates, cups, party hats, balloons, or piñatas. Lincoln ran into the costume store to find the aisle that had Ace Savvy costumes empty. Lincoln checked the video game store, to find that were no Ace Savvy video games. Now feeling dread, Lincoln ran into the comic book store, "Please, please, please!" Lincoln begged. To his horror there were no Ace Savvy comics, they were all gone. Everything from the original series, the Golden-Age series, the Silver-Age series, the Noir series, the Punk series, the Ultimate series, the Brawl series, even the infamous New 74 version wasn't here.

"NO ACE SAVVY!? HOW CAN THERE BE NO ACE SAVVY?!"

Lincoln jumped and turned to see Renee glaring at the guy behind the cash register, she was backed by an angry crowd.

"I've been loyal to the Ace Savvy series since first grade and I want Ace Savvy, NNNNOOOOWWWW!" Renee yelled, with undying anger.

The crowd shouted similar protests.

"People, I had nothing to do with the removal of all the Ace Savvy comics! The order to remove everything Ace Savvy-related was made by the people at Stether! I just work here!" The register reasoned.

Fearing they would start pointing fingers, Lincoln quietly tiptoed out of the comic book store and into the hall of the mall. He then checked his phone and looked up 'Ace Savvy'. Usually, the items would be displayed with their price numbers. Now, they were all labeled, 'Unavailable'. He searched up 'One-Eyed Jack', 'Unavailable'.

Lincoln growled and marched back to the empty convention. As soon as he saw the High Roller attendant, he marched up to him.

"Um, excuse me sir?" Lincoln said, in a struggling calm tone. "Have you seen Bill Buck anywhere?"

"No, I haven't." The attendant answered. Lincoln dug his claws into his own leg.

"Do you know when Stether will put all the Ace Savvy stuff back?" Lincoln said calmly, twitching an eyebrow.

"Um...they didn't see. They said, they would replace Ace Savvy with quote on quote, better heroes."

"I s-see! Goo-good-goodbye!" Lincoln said, clenching his teeth. He gripped his duffle bag and walked away.

"For the last time, there is no footage of some kid with whiter hair sneaking around the hotel." The tone was out of annoyance.

"Can you check again?" Lori asked.

"Ma'am, I've checked each footage seven times! There is no kid sneaking around!" The guy on the other end said, irritated.

"Well, is there a kid jumping around the hotel like a demon?" Lori asked right before she was hanged up on.

She sighed, as she sat down on the toilet. After being lectured by the duo directors on how she is supposed to be 'better' after beating up Luan. Lori had contacted the security people at the mall, to find out if Lincoln was here plotting his revenge on them. She thought about calling Lincoln directly but opted not to, she dreaded the ominous tone that would speak with and how it promised pain. She thought about calling her friends to find out if Lincoln was still in Royal Woods, but she felt too humiliated to even call them.

Wait a minute, there are cameras all over Stether's building. Maybe she could ask the guards and found out if Lincoln was responsible for her accident. She groaned before getting up, washing her hands, and leaving the restroom.

The problem was that she didn't know where the camera room was. She saw one security guard standing outside of one room and approached him.

"Excuse me, sir?" Lori asked.

The security guard glanced at her with a stern look which made the blond uncomfortable. She noticed the rifle he was carrying.

"D-do you know which way the camera room is?" Lori asked, nervously.

The security guard glanced at her then faced forward ignoring her.

"Um...thanks anyway, sir." Lori said, smiling at her nervously before quickly walking away. She decided not to push her luck and abandoned the idea of checking the cameras for any sign of Lincoln as both she and Luan were struck by the guards earlier today. These security guards were so scary and not because of the dangerous weapons they carried. Maybe she was just overthinking her situation, maybe she could ignore it.

She got a text from Piper; they were ready to resume filming. Lori sighed.

When she returned to the room, she found Preston happily holding out her new belt. The side half of the belt carried containers for toilet paper.

"Isn't it great, how it was redesigned!" Preston said, ecstatically.

"Yeah." Lori said, with anything but enthusiasm. She then noticed the absence of her sisters.

"Hey, where is everyone?" Lori asked.

"This scene just requires you, so we gave them an extended break." Preston said, before wrapping the belt around Lori's waste and clicking it on.

"Now, let's continue filming with you fighting off the thugs with the toilet paper in your belt." Preston said.

"Can't wait." Lori said in a jaded tone.

"Neither can we!" Both Preston and Piper said with grins.

AN: I wanted this chapter to focus on Lola and it would have been longer, but there was an issue with the save button and all the work for this chapter had been erased. I was frustrated with all the work gone and just decided to post a shorter chapter. Hopefully this chapter doesn't feel like a filler to some.
