Mad Train

Senator Dobbs, Electro City's leader, wants to give his new Circus Amusement Park (and himself) a big publicity stunt, and Ace Cooper proposes on making the big top disappear! Unfortunately, they and the senator's secretary experience elevator problems when a computer hacker sets off a bomb. The hostage taker has set up explosives on the stairs as well to keep the police at bay. Cosmo and Angel introduce a computer virus into City Hall's mainframe, stalling the hostage taker long enough for Ace and the others to escape safely. Convinced Dobbs isn't being truthful about his financial records, Ace meets Lt. Vega at police headquarters and discovers the identity of the hostage taker: Bill Peach, a former city hall employee who stumbled upon Dobbs's embezzling of funds from the building of the park and who tried to tell the police about it but got thrown out. Later, Ace and Vega confront two men Dobbs sent to kill Peach. Ace and Vega find Peach's trick mannequin and learn of his plan to use the Magic Express to destroy the park! Peach puts a virus into the Express's control system, sending it on its way to a collision with the park. Cosmo, in his workshop, is too busy playing a motion-simulating video game to notice what's going on. He realizes the problem when the train crashes through a police barrier. Catching up by helicopter, Ace jumps on the train and has two problems, getting past his own defenses to get into the train and then riding on his own Magic Bike with Peach controlling everything. After he seemingly gets run over by the Express, he manages to sneak in by Cosmo's special trap door. Time is running out, though, as Ace tries to get to the main engine, Cosmo tries to reboot Angel's original software, and Vega crashes into Peach, breaking Peach's remote control!
