Episode 24: Shhhhh.

In a flashback, the two hooded cloak couple open the sliding door which leads to a baby like bedroom. The two walk down happily looking down on all twenty of their beautiful white hair baby boys.

"Darling, aren't they just precious?"

"Yes, my love. They are. Once they've grown, we'll train them and then will lead our army to victory."

"And whoever is the first to achieve our victory, will become ruler of our cause after our time has come."

The two were interrupted by the sound of one of their children's cry, and they know who it is. And he's ugly.

Husband growls. "Every night with this! It's bad enough I have to look at Number 10's atrocious look, but listening to his cry?! No!

The wife looks to her husband. "Maybe having 19 kids isn't so bad."

Husband nods. "Agree."

His wife hold on to Number 10 as he still crying. "Shhhh. No need to cry. Everything is going to be okay, sweetie. I promised."

We cut to the mother taking her baby while crying to a dark room which is below the temple. She just drop her baby in this room as he still crying for her mother, but ignore him as she slowing close the door. "Shhhh," tries quieting her son. "This is where our mistake go to die." She darkly said finally closing the door.

The next part translate to Ace opening freezer door which is located at the butcher shop, and found the butcher frozen body with his face wrapped around bandages. "Another one." Ace then scan his face with his detective mode. "And his face has taken as well."

"Damn it." Commissioner Grouse said.

"This serial Killer must have a sick fetish to to take people's faces." Strong Suit said looking at the body.

"The killer took eyeballs as well." Eight of Spades reminded.

Ace squat down to investigate the body. "This killer is good. Just like the other bodies, guys. No fingerprints. No clues," Ace sighed and stood back up.

"There's has to be something."

"I'm sorry, Commissioner. Without any clues, we're sunk." Ace said. "But we'll keep trying." Ace rubs his head a bit.

"You okay, kid?"

"I'm fine, commissioner. Just a little pain in my head, but it's gone now." These headaches Ace has been getting are strange and stranger.

"Well, that killer better watch because when we find him, I'm going to give these," Strong Suit showing her fists. "Far up his ass."

Elsewhere, inside of an doctor's office, TIGHT ON a face swathed in bandages. The patient sits erect in a wooden chair, surrounded by the grimy para- phernalia of an doctor.

"I still don't get why don't you let me put you to sleep before I-

"Shhhh," The Patient quiet him. "Is my face ready?"

"Not yet. I still need more parts to complete the face structure." The doctor said.

"Then, you now what to do."

"Young man, please. I can't keep-."

"Shhhhh," The patient slowly turns to the doctor. "Get. Me. More. Parts."

Doctor gulped and nod as he puts on darker clothes and a mask to hid his face, and step out of his office.

The Patient stares up to the light and cackles insanely. "Oh mommy and daddy. You always complaining about my face looking like shit, but don't worry. I'll be pretty so you guys can laugh me even more than my siblings."

In the Ace Cave, Ace is sitting in his seat trying to figure out the connection of the murders. Strong Suit and Eight of Spades walks in to check on Ace.

"Still nothing?" Strong Suit asks him.

"Nope. And the computer doesn't help." Ace said.

"Don't worry, Lincoln. We'll keep searching. Our other sisters are still patrolling to find the sicko." Strong Suit said patting on Ace's shoulder.

"Good. And we should do the same thing." Ace said. He then go both of his arms wrap around by Strong Suit and Eight of Spades as they blushes with a smile on their faces.

"It could be dangerous." Eight of Spades smiled.

"You could used back up." Strong Suit smiled.

"I appreciate you guys worrying me but I'll be alright searching solo." Ace said sliding his arms out and walks to his ace cycle. "Let me know when you find anything." Ace said and then drove off.

Strong Suit growls. "So close."

Eight of Spades crossed her arms. "I'll get him next time."

Strong Suit turn to Eight of Spades. "What to do you mean "you'll get him next time"? He's mind!"

"As if."

"As if? Listen, you little..."

The two began arguing about Lincoln's affection yet again.

Meanwhile, Ace glides through the cities to search for the killer. Whoever this killer is has got some weird sick thing for faces, but some reason eyeballs as well. Hours for searching until he sees a man running down the street. Ace glides down and tackle the running man. "We're you off such a hurry?"

"Please, Ace! I didn't do it! I swear! I was just minded my own business until I saw body!"

"Body?" Ace lifted the man up. "Show me."

The man take him to an alley behind the old show shop, he pointed the body which is laying beside the dumpster.

"Do got the face of the killer?" Ace asked him.

"No. Like I said, I was walking and stumble a body here."

"Alright get out of here." Ace said.

The man ran off.

Ace squat down and scan the victim's face. "Yup. Just like the other victims, their faces have been remove." But the face he scan looks like she's been surgical remove. "Hmm?" Ace noticed a dry stain by her feet. "Well, well, well looks like he finally slip up." He scan the stain revealing that it was a blood stain but was cover in bleach. "Trying to destroy the evidence, buddy? Well you did a heck of a job because now I got your trail." Still in his detective mode, he follows the bleach trail from block, after block, and after block while avoided everything that was in his way and even air kick a criminal to the face when he ran to another alley.

The trail finally ends when he spotted the doctor leaving his office in terror as he looks like he finished on what he did and is about to leave town until he was grapple by Ace.

"You killed those innocent people and take their faces. Why?"

"It wasn't me. Okay, the last one was me but I didn't kill those other people. My patient force me to preform a surgery on his face so he could look normal for his parents."

"Family issue. Where is your patient?"

"He written an address for me," Doctor said as he reach the paper from his pocket. "He told me he wants the surgery at his home so a picture of that boy he has a grudge to stare at him when operation is successful."

Ace got the paper from him which contain his address and a room number "225"

"So that's it? You're going to let go?"

"What do you think?"

Doctor chuckles nervously. "I guess that was stupid for me to ask."

An hour later, Ace arrived to the location where the patient is at. The location is an run down apartment building where windows are boarded up. Ace step off from his bike and enter the building, he walk up the old the stairs to the second floor while hearing rats squeaking, strange whispering, and dust dropping the ceiling, and finally he walk down the hall to reach Room 225. But as soon he opens the door, the fear and the uncomfortable feels rises as he sees a picture of him as Lincoln and Ace all over the wall and windows. There's even blood and used wraps on the floor.

"What in the name of." The patient not only a killer but he knows who he is and what's worst he probably knows where he lives, and have sisters who will soon be trouble. This got him more terrifying until he found a notebook on the table. "A journal entry?" He begins reading.

"Journal 1: As an infant, I was lock up in a cold dark room until later on a bunch of authorities found me and put me in an orphanage. Hehehe. Big mistake."

Ace turn the page.

"Journal 2: As I grow older, I suffer by the hands of abuse kids of my face. Grown ups don't care and enjoys seeing me get hurt because they too hate my face."Shhhh" I've hush myself to not to cry. Must stay strong."

Ace turn the next page.

"Journal 3: I can't take it anymore! Everyone keeps talking my face! I see why my parents lock me so I won't have to suffer. Finally straw, I set the orphanage on fire and never look back killing ever last those motherfuckers to the ground." He cackling.

Ace feels a bit disturb but continues to the next page.

"Journal 3: I've walk and walk for miles until I stumble a place call "Royal Wood". Nice time but not s great as my hold home. Blinding into the city was a piece of cake as I hide it; walking like a homeless kid with no home. I need to find someone to help me. But first, I need to find a place to live and lucky for me I've found an old apartment where I could used and set up a plan to reconstruct my face. "

Ace turn another page.

"Journal 4: That little shit. As I was searching for a cheap surgeon, I spotted a white hair boy. He...he looks like one of my brothers. Could it be? No. I can't confirmed it or care about it what's so ever because he got the looks that I'm looking for."

"He thinks I'm his brother?" Ace shivered in disgust, but continues to turn the page.

"Journal 5: I've finally meet the Surgeon. His name is Dr. Donte Stevens who used to work as a surgeon at the general hospital in Royal Woods before getting his license suspended after caught stealing hospital funds. Of course, he refuse my request but I make sure he change his name." He chuckles. "But before we begin, we need the right skin to match to make this work. So, I went out to get the material while the doctor set up the operation.

Ace noticed their is only only one more page left, so he turn the page and read the final page.

"Journal 6: My final entry. At long last it is finally complete. My face hurts like hell but it's worth it. Now, I can return home to my lovely parents. They'll apologize to me and now can accept me, and have me take charge of organization. But first, I need to care of someone. Someone that I know will read my journal entry right now."

Ace then got tazor from behind knocking him out. The person who tazed him reveal to be the killer wearing a black sweater with a hoodie on and is wearing wrapped bandage around his face.

Elsewhere, the police have already arrived and arrested the doctor. Strong Suit and Eight of Spades are standing on top of the building watching below.

"Look like our favorite brother done it again." Eight of Spades smiled.

"Yup. I'm going to inform our sisters." Strong Suit said as she makes a call.

"I'm going to contact Lincoln." Eight of Spades said as she takes her phone out.

"On second thought, I'm going to call Lincoln first."

"Too late I already call," Eight of Spades still waiting for Ace to pick up. "Strange. He's not responding."

"Maybe he doesn't want to talk to goth girls." Strong Suit joked.

"Very funny." Eight of Spades said sarcastically. "He's probably busy."

"Yeah busy trying to avoid you." Strong Suit laughed.

Eight of Spades getting annoyed. "Shut up."

Back at the ruin apartment, Ace is tied up to the chair as he still unconscious, his mask and belt have been remove by the killer. The killer approach to him and smack his face to wake him up when he say "wakey, wakey."

Ace groaned. "What the?" He noticed he's tied up and his mask his gone.

"We finally meet, Lincoln." The killer look closer to his face. "My. You do have a nice face, but not as good as mine." The killer smiled as he removing the wraps on his face.

"Who are you and-"

"Shhhh. Not yet. I need this moment." He said still unwrapping.

Ace then soon gasped when he finally sees the killer's face. "Y-you look...just like..."

"You?" The killer chuckles while gently rubbing his new face.

"That's why you kill those people. You want your face to be like mines." Ace growls.

"Yes, but their sacrifices were not in vain. Maybe or whatever."

"Why?"

"So I could show mommy and daddy of my beautiful face."

Ace got mad. "I don't know what kinda sick game you're going to do, but news flash my parents are dead and even their dead, they're not dumb enough to fall for it."

The killer cackles a bit. "Silly, boy. Not your parents. My parents. They lock me up when my parents getting tired of seeing my disgusting face but now with this new face, they'll love me again and put me in charge of the organization, and show it to my brothers that I'll be superior."

"What organization?"

"It doesn't matter. By time I reach escape and reach home, I'll be swarming with love by my dearest parents. This will be the last time we'll meet, brother." The killer joked and then leaves the room.

Ace sighed. "Idiots should have killed me when they have the chance but instead tie me up to an old chair," He stood and easily break free without breaking a sweat. "There's my mask and belt." He puts them back on and then rush out of the apartment. "Gone. Man he's quick." He gasped when he see's his ace cycle is totally trash by the killer. "Dang it."

Meanwhile, Eleven of Hearts is on a look out on top of the building and still no sign of the killer. "Lori, I still can't find him." She said calling on her phone.

"Keep looking. We can't have the killer call another victim." Lori said hanging up.

Eleven of Heart went back to her position until she spotted her brother jumping from building to building across from her. "Linky? Shouldn't he be wearing his costume?" She used her strap to swing on buildings to catch up with him.

The killer gasped when he sees Eleven of Hearts drop in front of him.

"Hi, Linky." Eleven of Hearts gaped. "Oh my god your face! Did that creep hurt your face?"

The killer lied. "Y-yeah."

"I'm taking you back to the cave for a check up." Eleven of Hearts said wrapping him up with her straps.

"What? No! I need to go! Let go!" The killer yelled.

She jumps off the building and swing back home.

Back in the cave, as soon Eleven of Hearts arrived with "Lincoln" she stop and see Strong Suit and Eight of Spades gets into a fight while Cthylla tries to break up the fight.

"Stop it guys!"

"Take it back!" Strong Suit yelled throwing her punches at Eight of Spades.

"Never." Eight of Spades said dodging her moves.

"Girls!" Eleven of Hearts drop "Lincoln" and go help Cthylla.

The killer gazed around the cave, but what got his attention is the Ace jet. Looks like he found a transportation to get out of the city even though he doesn't know how to fly the jet but he doesn't care. "Hehe." He chuckles as he sneaks to it.

Strong Suit and Eight of Spades are all wrapped up by Eleven of Hearts.

"Why are you guys fighting?" Eleven of Hearts asks the two.

Eight of Spades and Strong Suit can't tell the truth so they have to lied to them.

"It's...uh, just some some t.v. show we watch. But we're cool now." Strong Suit smiled.

"Yeah. Cool."

"Well, good. Now, We need to get Lincoln into the med bay and call Lisa. His face looks all scare up."

Eight of Spades gaped.

"What?! Wait until get that bastard!"

Cthylla then noticed something. "Um, where's Lincoln?"

The gang are are surprised that he's gone.

Cthylla spotted Lincoln climbing up the ladder towards the jet. "He's up there."

Eleven of Hearts wraps Lincoln's ankle prevented him to keep going. "Where you going, Linky? We need to check your face."

This got the killer triggered as he slowly slide out a knife.

Meanwhile, The Full House in vanzillia are heading straight back home in a full speed after Ace inform his sisters on what he discover and what the killer is planning. Ace tries calling either Eleven of Hearts, Eight of Spades, Strong Suit, and Cthylla but still no responded.

"Nothing?" High Card asks her brother.

"Nothing. They're probably face the killer and we need to hurry."

"But where?" The Joker asked.

Card Counter using her scanner that will pick up the trace on their costumes. "I'm getting their signal and they're position is...back home?"

"Drive faster, Lori!"

"I'm on it." High Card said as she speeds up.

Strong Suit is surprised. "Lincoln, what are you doing?!"

The killer is now taking Eleven of Hearts (wrapped by her own strap by the killer) hostage by holding a knife by her neck. "You're not touching my face!"

"Girls, help!"

"Put down the knife."

Everyone heard Vanzilla approaching in the cave at full speed but stop before driving overboard. The rest of The Full House members jump out of the van and join with Strong Suit, Eight of Spades, and Cthylla which got them more surprised when they see...Ace Savvy?"

"Ace, but-"

"I'll explain later, Cthylla. But first, let her go!"

"I work hard to get my face fixed up and I won't let you touch it!" The killer calm himself down "Shhhh" himself. "Now, I'll be taking your jet and if you try to stop me, I'll slit your friend's throat."

"You're not going anywhere or going to hurt her, pal!" Ace said.

The killer chuckled. "And how are you going to that?!"

"Simple." Ace looks at Cthylla for a quick nod.

Cthylla understands as she uses her telekinesis to mess around the killer's mind.

"Hey! What the...no! What's happening?! Get out of my head!" The Killer scream as he lets go of her and tries to get his mind under control.

Ace throws a card to knock the knife out of his and then charge forward delivering him a sucker punch which knocks him out.

High Card helps setting Eleven of Hearts free. "Leni, are you alright?"

"I'm okay," She turn to her brother with a smile. "Thanks you for saving, Linky."

Ace looks at Eleven of Hearts while handcuffed the killer. "Just happy your safe."

"You might want to inform us what's going?" Eight of Spades asks Ace.

"Right."

One explanation later...

"So, it's not our parents he's trying to get love."

"That's right, Lynn."

"Uh, guys. We have a problem. This killer has our brothers face. We can't take him to RWDP." High Card pointed out.

"You're right," Ace thinks for a sec until he got an idea when he looks at Cthylla. "Cthylla, you can morph into a human, is there possible you can shape another human. Maybe like me."

"Well, I haven't try it but I'll give it a shot."

"Good. Because we got lots of work to do if we're going to put the killer behind bars." Ace tells everyone. He then gets back the headache he had hours ago.

Elsewhere, the two cloaked figures looking at the monitor and seeing the tracking device works again.

"I'm ready, mother and father."

The two turn to see the oldest of their son in silhouette is equipped and ready to leave.

"Excellent. With the years of training, you're fully ready to bring back your little brother," The woman said with a smile. "Take the jet and prepare to leave."

"I won't let you down." Their son said and leaves.

"We know you won't. You are the first." The Woman said.

The tow hold hands together and are happily that their oldest son with bring Lincoln home.
