The Chase

Ace and Cosmo are on their way back from a show in Lazaro City when the Magic Express crashes in the desert. Cosmo leaves Ace a note about the crash being his fault and goes for help. He finds another person in the desert, followed by a pack of wild hyenas who end up attacking Cosmo! Ace and Zina save him when they meet a hunter named Count Hebon. He invites everyone to his place for a cold drink, but the whole thing is a trap for Ace and his friends. Hebon wants revenge for losing the other person who apparently escaped from him. That person is found by the police and taken to headquarters, where Vega is about to receive his long-overdue promotion. When he learns of a train crash, he realizes his friends may be in serious danger, so he takes off to find them to the displeasure of Friedrichs, who won't let anyone leave until Vega returns. At Hebon's estate, Ace and Cosmo fight for their lives through deadly traps, but they reunite and agree they'll get out alive as a team, especially after Ace convinces Cosmo not to blame himself for the Express's accident. They escape from Hebon's grounds and get back to the Magic Express to set a trap for the hunter. Vega finds the estate and battles Hebon's butler while Ace and Cosmo wait for Hebon himself.
