Synopsis
While Ace performs at Sonny Boy's new Sinsun Hotel, Sonny Boy gets a phone call about a possible fire but doesn't take it very seriously. Soon after the show, a fire really does break out. The building is evacuated, and Ace thinks he has the fire under control when it suddenly breaks out again, making him trapped. Luckily, the firefighting unit shows up just in time to put the fire out and save him. Of course, Ace's surprise here is discovering a woman, Lt. Atika, leading the unit. Soon afterward, Capt. Friedrichs automatically accuses Ace of starting that blaze, since he used fireballs in the show. At the Magic Express, Ace, Cosmo, and Angel discover a pattern from that and three previous fires. From there, Vega determines the culprit to be Multi-Flames, a seasoned arsonist just released from prison. Ace confronts Multi-Flames at a firefighting factory, but both get trapped in another fire. Cosmo comes with the special firefighting gear for Ace, yet they and Multi-Flames have to be rescued by Atika. Ace and Multi-Flames are arrested until Ace slips away and reunites with Cosmo in the Magic Racer. From Angel they both learn the owner of all the burned buildings is Sonny Boy. While Atika clears everyone out of another of Sonny Boy's casinos, he goes after her when he discovers she's out for revenge against him. Ace arrives to stop Sonny Boy from harming her but then learns of her plan for revenge due to Sonny Boy's faulty equipment. Ace and Atika then discover a little girl trapped, and with the building collapsing, it looks like they won't make it out alive.
