## Plot

### **Part 1**

After fifteen years in Cryogenic Suspension, an old friend of Ace named Gus Morland awakens, looking like a frozen body and escapes from the Cryogenic Center. When he sees a poster of The Magician, the first thing on Gus's mind is getting revenge. Meanwhile, Ace bails Cosmo out of trouble with the police and reminds him to be careful about doing many misdeeds before they catch up with him. Later, Ace performs his usual spectacular show with his pet panther, Zina.

After the show though, Morland thinks he found Ace and just when was about to knock him down though, it turns out that it was somebody else wearing a similar cape. At the hospital, Vega grows concern about the dangers Ace could face so he sends two bodyguards to watch over him. Morland goes back to the Cryogenic Center and forces Dr. Charles, the scientist-in-charge to make him look normal again. Charles gives him the temporary injection and Morland goes after Ace through Cosmo. When Cosmo was blocking Morland's way, he tells about Ace's past, as a criminal so Cosmo joins Morland and help him commit a robbery.

At the Magic Express, Ace and Vega finds the two bodyguards tied up and Ace remembers now about Gus Morland. Gus challenges Ace to meet him alone at the Cryogenic Center, Gus and Cosmo show up there first, but Gus is turning back into the way he was frozen and asks Dr. Charles to turn him back human form. But the Charles said there's nothing more that can be done to save him, so Gus gets so mad that he ties up Cosmo and Dr. Charles. Ace then shows up and takes on one-on-one match. Ace tries to explain the truth but too late, for Gus locked him up in a cryogenic chamber! It looks like this the end for the Magician for he shall never awaken again or will he?

### **Part 2**
