Part 1: Two Prisoners, Two Chances for Vengeance

In a prison about 40 miles north of Electro City, all the inmates were doing their jobs as ordered by the warden. Jobs varied from gardening to washing dishes, and most of the prisoners were cooperative.
One such prisoner, though, would do his work with a rather angry look on his face. He was always disgruntled, never smiling for anything or anyone. When it was visitors' day, he basically spent that time alone in his cell, for he basically had no family. He was also the butt of many jokes by fellow inmates because he looked exactly like a well-known celebrity in Electro City, yet he was not able to do the magic like Ace Cooper himself, which caused his downfall, leading to his arrest, conviction, and jail time.
A couple of years earlier, this mystery man suddenly came to Electro City and began creating numbers of problems for Ace Cooper, the Magician. Then, when he had the opportunity to come face-to-face with the Magician himself, the mysterious look-a-like poisoned Ace and tried to take everything from him, including his life, fame, and fortune. He poisoned Zina into listening only to him and fooled so many people, that is until Ace's girlfriend Mona Malone discovered that a delivered set of flowers did not have his special signature on the card. One piece at a time, she was able to piece together what happened.
At the same time, Cosmo discovered something wrong with Zina and learned "Ace" had changed everything around on Angel, the Magic Express computer system. After some adjustments, the teenage hacker fixed Angel back to normal and cured Zina of her behavioral problems, thanks to discovering the poison. However, he nearly lost his own life when the double nearly sent him to death in a crate trapped in the water.
After the real Ace, Cosmo, and Mona were all reunited, Ace was given the much needed antidote. Although he was not at full strength, he still had enough power to stop the double and was even able to summon the Magic Force to put an end to the double's trouble.
The double was given a sentence of life without parole for the attempted murders of Ace Cooper and Cosmo and was sent to the prison outside of Electro City. Amazingly, he still would not reveal his real name to anyone, not even his fellow inmates.
This day, though, he only had one thought on his mind. I will kill Ace Cooper for doing this to me! He has no business being the superstar he is now! The fame, the fortune, the magical name of "Ace Cooper" should rightfully belong to me! I'll find a way out of this place and get my revenge on him! He will die for my pain and punishment! My chance for vengeance shall come soon enough, as soon as tonight, if I have my way.
The double went into the cafeteria and ate his dinner as usual.
The routine was shattered, though, when one prisoner yelled, "What's the matter, phoney? Not happy with your supposed life of fame and fortune?"
"Ace's" anger exploded as he ran up to that inmate and started punching him with hook after hook. "You shut up, impudent fool! I will be treated with respect around here!"
Several guards had to restrain the two inmates to keep them from killing each other.
One of the guards looked at the double. "You're done with dinner, pal. You're spending the rest of the day in solitary confinement. Maybe then you'll realize the consequences of your actions."
The look-a-like grumbled with anger, but he followed the orders of the guards.
On the way back to the cell, "Ace" started feeling rather ill. "Oh," he said. "My stomach…hurts. Don't feel good."
"Okay, just relax, pal," said one of the three guards escorting the prisoner, "we'll take you to the infirmary. It appears something doesn't agree with your stomach."
The guards carried him into the infirmary, where they told the doctor about the prisoner's illness.
"Okay, lay him on the bed. I'll take a look at him."
When the guards did so, they let go of him for just a split second.
That split second was all the double needed, as he quickly jumped up and attacked the guards and the doctor with solid kicks to the face and powerful right hook punches. He was able to knock them out before they could call for help.
Looking around, he noticed some bottles in the medicine cabinet. He took the doctor's keys and opened the cabinet. "Hmm, 'Must be used only with doctor's permission. Improper use may be poisonous.' Ha, they're perfect! Just what I need to put an end to Ace Cooper once and for all."
He then took the clothes off one of the guards and switched out of his orange prison uniform. "Now to find those clothes and get out of this dump."
Taking the prison guard's keys as well, he quickly took off and located the room where his original clothing and cane were concealed. Able to open the door easily, the double quickly saw what he wanted, the exact outfit he had used to perfectly impersonate Ace. He then opened the glass casing and took the clothes and cane, but not before sniffling around his nose, since the plastic surgery caused a side effect.
As fast as he could, he changed into the clothing, which provided perfect camouflage at that time of night. Still holding the guard's keys, he found the side exit to the prison and easily opened the door. He then dropped the keys to the ground. Running to freedom, he said, "Watch out, Cooper. I'm coming back, and this time, you will die!"
Meanwhile, back inside the prison, the warden passed by the infirmary, where the doctor and the guards finally awakened after the struggle.
"Good heavens," the warden said in shock. "What happened to you?"
"That…inmate who looks like Ace Cooper," said the doctor, shaking his head. "He tricked us into believing he was sick, but he jumped us."
The one guard who wore the prison uniform said, "He took my guard outfit! Probably to get under the cameras!"
After making sure they were okay, the warden called for two other guards to come with him to the impounded room.
To their dismay, the outfit and cane of the double were also gone.
"Ace Cooper's double has escaped," the warden said in grave concern. "The people of Electro City will have to be on their guard again." He then turned to the guards. "Keep the other inmates in check. I'm going to notify Captain Friedrichs in Electro City. He's going to have his hands full on this."

Approximately 200 miles away, at Lazaro City Prison, a young woman stared out the window of her cell and saw the full moon. The night was clear, yet she was filled with anger and pain. "I want my revenge," she whispered. Her hazel eyes glowed with jealousy while her blonde hair flowed in the gentle night breeze. "Cooper should have taken me in and gotten rid of that old timer of a beginner. I want him dead, her dead…I want them all dead."
Just then, a guard came up to her cell door. "Okay, Darlena, time for bed."
"Yeah, whatever." She went to the small cot and lay there, with her mind totally focused on getting even with Ace Cooper.
Darlena Lowland was a talented teenage magician. However, when Ace Cooper denied her request to become another of his apprentices, her true greed came to light. She wanted him to get rid of training magician Angela Jacobs because Angie was seemingly too old to start learning magic.
After Ace vehemently denied Darlena to become a part of his "family," she decided to get rid of him and all his friends in order to gain attention for herself. She got some help from a computer hacker named Tracer, who was able to implant a dangerous computer virus into the Magic Express's control system and cause it to go out of control. However, their plans failed after Angie's heart allowed her power to become stronger, which eventually helped stop the Magic Express from crashing into the Party Carnival at the time.
That did not stop her from trying to take on Ace Cooper himself, as she tried to beat him with her own magic. She did not know about the powerful bond between Ace and Angie, which helped him defeat the misguided magician. As a result, Darlena was tried as an adult for the attempted mass murder of thousands of people who attended the Party Carnival at the time, and she was sentenced to life in prison.
In addition, Lazaro City's police chief wanted her drugged every two hours to prevent her from being able to use her magic to escape. He took that idea from Ace, who was himself drugged by Captain Friedrichs after being wrongfully arrested for a crime at the Planet Electric restaurant.
Darlena, now 18 years old, was extremely angry with Ace Cooper and Angela Jacobs, for she believed she should be with the greatest magician in the world, not a nobody just barely starting out. "I'll get them all for this," she whispered angrily. "I will be the best magician on Earth, one way or another."
During the night as she slept soundly, one of the guards came in and was to give her the required dosage of drugs.
However, as the needle approached her arm, Darlena turned and stared at him with her angry hazel eyes. "You will not drug me again," she whispered. "You will drop the needle, now."
Falling under her influence, the guard allowed the needle to fall to the ground, causing the needle to break.
"Now, you will hand me your keys."
The guard gave her the keys to the main door of the prison.
"You will take my place here, as I get out of this godforsaken place…and get my revenge. This hypnosis shall wear off in one hour, which is more than enough time for me to leave. So long, sucker."
After the guard handed her the keys, he remained in place while she ran out of her cell for the main door.
There, she noticed two more guards. She wanted to try using her magic, but felt unsure. They've drugged me so much in the past couple of years, I'm not certain I can do this right. After carefully thinking it out, she came to a decision. I don't care. I will get out of here…by any means necessary. Slowly focusing to the left of the guards, she started to create a small illusion.
The guards noticed a small light over to their right. "Who's there?" yelled one of the guards.
Instinctively, the pair of guards started running for the light, giving Darlena the break she needed.
She quickly ran for the door and found the right key to open it. After successfully getting the door to open, she dropped the keys and ran outside to her own freedom. Finally, she thought evilly, revenge shall be mine!
As for the two guards, they noticed the light was nothing more than an illusion. Upon returning to the door, they saw it was open, along with the dropped keys.
"What the—?" said one of the guards in shock. "Who dropped the keys here?"
Just then, the warden came along with three more guards. "What's going on here?"
"Apparently someone's escaped."
"Yes, and that someone is…Darlena Lowland. She hypnotized the guard into keeping him from administering the drug and then give her the keys. She's extremely dangerous with her magic. We need to put out an all-points bulletin on her escape from prison. People shouldn't approach her at all. The first thing I'd better do is notify Chief Raleigh. The type of magic she's capable of doing, no one is going to be safe anywhere."
Darlena had to get somewhere, though. She could not continue running forever. "I need a way to get to Electro City, but how?"
She then saw a large moving truck coming down the highway. "That's it! I know what I need to do now."
The demented magician ran down the hill to the side of the road and waved, hopefully getting the driver to stop.
Noticing the frantic nature of the young lady on the side of the road, he quickly stopped his truck. "You need some help, Miss?"
"Oh, yes, please," said Darlena, acting innocent. "I'm trying desperately to get away from my abusive relationship with my father. I don't know where to go right now."
"It's okay, lady. I'm on the way out to Electro City. Some people there can help you deal with this."
Perfect. "Oh, thank you, sir. That would be of great help to me." More than you think, fool. Both magicians better watch their backs, because ready or not, here I come!

At almost the same time, the real Ace Cooper was at home in the Magic Express, having an important conversation with his girlfriend Mona Malone.
"Ace, something's bothering you, and I don't have to be psychic to know that. What's the matter?"
"I'll be honest with you. I've become very worried about Angie lately. There's a darker side to her none of us have seen as of yet, and I fear something terrible will happen if she doesn't acknowledge it."
"She's scared of that side of herself? Why?"
"I don't know. Ever since that parole hearing she had to attend back in Mason City, she just hasn't been her cheerful self. It seems she's having a difficult struggle with this shadow self. It's like she's completely paralyzed in fear about it."
"But, all human beings have darker sides."
"Oh, she knows that, but what worries me is the fact she wants to continue keeping her darker self buried away in her soul. Besides, there's something really unusual Angie and I discovered just recently."
Mona's eyes filled with curiosity. "What is it, if I may ask?"
"We learned we communicated telepathically with each other at least four times…before we ever met face-to-face."
"Before?"
"Yes, the three times she used her powers, I somehow made contact with her. The funny thing is, I didn't remember any of it until that stormy night several months ago, when Angie couldn't sleep." He then went on to explain the conversation at the time of her parents' deaths.
"Wow," said Mona, unquestionably surprised by this revelation.
"My question is, how were we able to contact each other when we were 1500 miles apart for over 15 years?"
"I think…I know part of the answer." She then faced her love. "At one point in your lives, you were each very sad and very lonely. You only had me and no parents. Then, after what you had to do to my father, I shut you out for a long time, which basically left you alone.
"Angie had her best friend and her parents all right, but she kept her secret for well over 10 years before she told Ashley first. Plus, you have to remember she was going to tell her parents the truth. Unfortunately, her parents were killed before she could say anything. I think she's still carrying a small amount of the guilt of not being there to save her parents. She had very few friends because of her love of studying, but probably more because of the magic within her."
"But…that still doesn't explain how we were able to keep in touch telepathically for a long time."
"I was getting to that point. I think you were both feeling lost, and one of you desperately wanted to reach out to the other, hoping to find a friend just to talk to. The day of her parents' funeral, she was feeling completely alone. I believe the link between you and Angie may have been at an empathic level. You felt the terrible loss she suffered, so you wanted to talk to her and comfort her at the time. At the same time, she was probably able to feel the emptiness and loneliness within your own heart. In situations like this, the distance isn't a factor.
"Now, let's go into today. Your bond with Angie keeps getting stronger because you care for her like a sister while she does the same for you as though you were her brother. Your magic is that of thought, knowledge, and power. Hers is representative of feeling, emotion, and spirit. Both of you have all those qualities, but one has more than the other. When those powers unite, you give each other the missing pieces. That's why you're both very protective of each other. Does that make sense to you?"
"Yes," Ace nodded. "It does. However, you, Cosmo, and I have been able to embrace our darker selves while Angie won't do it."
"You know what I think? Angie believes if she allows her darker self to surface, she'll lose everything, especially the people she loves…mainly us."
"That's not true."
"We know that, but Angie doesn't. Unfortunately, only she can solve this problem. To make it harder, not even magic can help her. She must face this situation by herself."
"I wish I could do something to help her, though. I feel like I'm letting something bad happen."
"Ace, I feel the same way. I want to help her, but she must face her demons on her own terms. We can't force her to face them. Where is Angie?"
"She's asleep. She has to leave early with Victor in the morning. They're going to help build a new home for a low-income family."
"That's wonderful. Angie does enjoy helping others when given the opportunity. I just hope she'll be all right about her inner demons."
"I hope so, too, Mona. I'm sorry I had to drag you over here, but—"
"Ace, you didn't. I'm glad we talked about this. It's a situation we're all concerned with, especially for Angie's sake." The singer then noticed her watch. "I'd better get home. I do have to rehearse for the show at the Croesus on Friday."
"Okay. Thanks for coming over."
"Anytime, Ace." She then gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "I love you, Magician."
"I love you, too, Mona. Good night."
She then exited the Magic Express, got into her car, and left for the evening for her own home.
Inside, Ace could not help but worry about his kindred sister. He went over to the door of her room to see how she was doing. Opening it just slightly, he saw Angie sleeping fairly well. She looks like an innocent girl when she sleeps, but what will happen when she can no longer hold back her darker self? And more importantly, when will it happen? I have to be on guard for a while.
As soon as he left, though, Angie started hearing a voice inside her mind again. Hello, Angie, said the low voice. I want you to stop running away from me.
Angie started muttering. "No, no. Stay away from me."
NO! I will not leave you alone until you accept me as a part of you. Why is it you won't recognize me? I am an integral part of you.
"No, you're not," she whispered. "You're not a part of me. I won't let you be."
Ace suddenly turned and sensed Angie having sleeping problems. He then ran back to Angie's room to check on her. "What's happening to her?"
You dare to keep me from being a part of your life!? the dark voice said. Then, I will take you over when the time is right! I will make you accept my existence, even if it means your death!
"NOO!" Angie shouted as she suddenly awakened. She quickly saw Ace at the door. "Ace…I—"
He came up to her and hugged her tightly. "It's okay, Angie, it's okay. I'm here. I'll always be here. Don't worry." Of course, he was very worried himself. Angie, you've got to face this part of yourself. I'm almost afraid of what could happen if you don't accept this.
"I'm sorry, Ace. I didn't mean to make you worry about me again."
"It's not your fault," he said in a false manner of hope. "Will you be okay now?"
"Yeah. I need the sleep. Victor's picking me up at 6:30 in the morning to get to that home building project."
"Okay. Pleasant dreams, Angie."
She was soon able to return to sleep as Ace left the room to get to his own.
"I need to talk with her parents," he said to himself. "It's important they know what's going on."
Laying on his own bed, he closed his eyes and quickly went into a meditative trance. "Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs," he whispered, "I must talk to you right away. It's very urgent."
Within his mind, he found himself in a park, standing in front of Robert and Nancy Jacobs.
"We know why you're here, Mr. Cooper," said Nancy worriedly. "It's about Angie's recent behavior, isn't it?"
"Yes, I'm afraid so. Angie is having trouble accepting her darker self."
"We noticed. It all started when we saw her dream where she tried to strangle Brad Fallon to death. What's happening to our daughter?"
"The darker part of herself is trying to come to the surface, but she won't allow it. I fear she is in a desperate struggle for control of her soul. She doesn't understand that the darker self is part of all human beings. However, she'll never show it. I wish there were something we could do, but the sad fact is she must face this alone."
Robert put his face down sadly. "Unfortunately, you're right. Nothing we say or do can help her. Angie must be able to allow her darker self to be a part of her life. All we can do is pray she does so before it's too late for her."
"Right. All we can do is be there for her and be prepared to help her if and when the situation becomes too much for her."
"We'll watch her from our end, while you watch her from yours."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jacobs," Ace assured, "I'm going to do the best I can to keep a close eye on Angie through this. I promise I will do everything I can to help her."
Nancy did feel relieved. "We know she can trust you, Mr. Cooper. Please, take care of her like you have."
"I will." He actually felt Angie's mother's shoulders. "As long as she's my kindred sister, I won't let anything happen to her."
"Thank you. It's important we all be there for her now."
"I must return to my physical world now, but please, try not to worry, either of you."
"We'll try. Take care of yourself, Mr. Cooper."
Ace's mind returned to reality, and he soon got the sleep he needed.

The next morning, Angie was already dressed and ready to go for the day, as she had a day of house-building ahead of her.
At 6:25, a car arrived at the front door of the Magic Express. Coming out of the car was a gentleman standing almost as tall as Ace, with black hair and blue eyes, but no sign of white anywhere on his hair. He then grabbed a bouquet of flowers and came up to the door. "Angel, it's me, Victor. Is Angie ready?"
"Yes, she is. You may enter, Mr. Raven."
Victor Raven entered the Magic Express and found Angie all prepared for work. "Hello, Angie."
She turned and noticed. "Victor, hi." Angie came up and hugged her first true love. "You're a little early."
"Only by about five minutes." He then gave her the bouquet.
"Victor, they're beautiful, thank you." She gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I wanted to pick a set that would fit someone who truly deserves it."
"I appreciate that." She then turned her attention to the large cooler. "Okay, I've packed a cooler full of food for all the workers, including some ingredients needed for hamburgers and all."
"You sure you want to? There are going to be over 70 people there."
"I know, which is why I prepared all the burger meat last night. The head of the group said she'd provide the gas grill for me to cook with."
"Great. Then, I guess we're ready."
"Let me get this bouquet to the table in the kitchen, and then I'll be back to help you with the cooler."
In a matter of minutes, the cooler was loaded into the car.
Angie then found Ace just waking up. "Hey, sorry to bother you, but I'm going now."
"Okay, Angie. Take care of yourself, and have a good time."
"Thanks, kindred brother. I'll see you at about 7 tonight."
Ace just smiled, knowing his kindred sister was about to help out in another good deed for the day. However, his mind knew much better. Angie's determined to do something good at every turn, but all this is really doing is adding more fuel for the darker self. Angie, please be careful.
When Victor and Angie went through the tunnel, Ace went back to his room to get dressed, as he remembered there was a show for which he had to prepare, especially since he had tested a trick for several weeks.
Soon, Cosmo awakened and found the home to be eerily quiet. "Hey, dude, where's Angie?"
"On her way to that house project, remember?"
"Oh, yeah, I forgot it was today."
"It's okay, Cosmo. Anyway, I'm gonna practice for about an hour, and then I need to get something for Angie. She said she needed some ginger root for her newest recipe, ginger shrimp scaloppini. She wants to try cooking it tomorrow."
"But…you don't know how to tell what's good and what isn't. You don't normally shop for groceries."
"No, but I've been with Angie the last few trips. She's been showing me how to judge just how fresh and firm herbs, fruits, and vegetables are. Believe me, I'll be able to find some good ginger root for her."
"Cool. Guess it pays to be around Angie in the grocery store, doesn't it?"
"Yeah, but the only catch is people think we're a couple."
Cosmo burst out laughing. "Oh, man. You two are 10 years apart, and you both have someone else already. Why would anyone think you and Angie were a couple?"
"If Paparazzo were still the star reporter," Ace giggled, "he'd have a field day with this story."
"That's for sure. How would Mona and Victor react?"
"They'd probably punch Paparazzo's lights out." Ace then looked at his watch. "I'd better get to that practice now, since the store opens at 8."
"Gotcha. I'm gonna have some cereal."
Ace got to the practice room, where his black panther Zina patiently waited for him. "Hey, girl. You ready to assist me in this practice?"
Zina let out a growl in agreement.
"Okay, let's get to it."

Angie and Victor arrived at their destination, a quaint subdivision within the city. There, they found Lieutenant Derek Vega and Miss LeSage.
The female magician was pleasantly surprised to see them. "Vega? What are you doing here? Did Friedrichs send you here because you did something he didn't like?"
"Oh, no, Angie," he answered with a smile. "Miss LeSage and I both have the day off from work, so we decided to take advantage and do something worthwhile."
"Whew," said Victor. "For a minute I thought Friedrichs was mad at you for doing something against his wishes again."
"Sorry, but on this day off, not a chance."
Miss LeSage interjected, "So, Angie, did you bring the burger meat? The gas grill's around the back."
"Wonderful! I have enough for everybody."
"Great. Let's get started on this house."
Soon, everybody got to work on putting together an affordable home for someone who struggled to make enough money to support a family.
Angie enjoyed doing something to give back to the community. To her, fame and fortune were not as important as making sure someone else had a place to call home, like she had been given when she first arrived in Electro City over three years earlier.
However, very few people knew she was in the fight of her life, trying to maintain control of her soul while her darker self tried desperately to come to the surface.

An hour or so later on, Ace had completed with his morning practice and soon took off in his Magic Racer for the grocery store to find some ginger root.
He entered the store at opening time. "Okay, now to find the ginger root. Now, if I remember what Angie said, the ginger root would be located with the herbs over on aisle three."
He came over to the aisle and found the root. "Now to see just how firm it is."
What he did not know, though, was that someone came up behind him. "Excuse me, sir, but I need some help."
"Oh," Ace said as he turned around, "what can I do to…help…you?" His eyes widened in shock. "You!"
To his surprise, someone who looked exactly like Ace looked at him with an evil grin. "That's right, Cooper. I'm back."
I know it's not my counterpart from that other dimension, either, Ace thought. "So, you think you're going to cause trouble for me again?"
"I'm gonna do more than that, Magician. You're going to pay for what you did to me before!" He then took out a needle.
"I wouldn't count on it, pal." Ace then used his cloak to make himself disappear and then reappear behind him. "You'll have to do better than that."
"Don't worry, Cooper. I can now." He then turned to the left and grabbed some vegetables to throw at Ace. In that short time of distraction, the imposter was able to jump on Ace and inject him with the poison.
"No," Ace struggled to say, "not this again."
"Oh, yes. And this time, I'm going to make sure no one can find you and help you. I promise, you'll die alone!"
Ace quickly fell to the ground. "Angie…help…me…" He then lost consciousness.
The double then dragged Ace out to the Magic Racer. When people noticed, he simply said, "It's all right, everyone. It's a trick I'm planning for the next show."
The crowd simply applauded as the double placed Ace into the back of the Racer.
"Now, Mr. Ace Cooper, I'm going to hide you somewhere where not one person can find you. You ruined my plans before, but you won't succeed this time. Your life will now be mine." The double laughed wickedly about his plans to get rid of the real Ace Cooper once and for all.
Driving the Racer, the imposter found the perfect place to hide Ace and leave him to die. Stopping the car in a dark alley, he dragged Ace out of the vehicle and opened the dumpster. "This shall be your final resting place, Cooper. A nice garbage dumpster, where you belong. Now your name, your money, and your life belong to me." He then picked up the very ill Ace and dropped him into the garbage.
After closing the dumpster, he quickly got back to the Magic Racer and took off. "Now, back to the Magic Express to take it over again. This time, I'm going to get rid of that boy Cosmo. As for Zina, I'll take care of that panther, too."

Darlena arrived in Electro City while still in the moving truck. "Sir," she said with an innocent voice, "I want to thank you for letting me ride with you here. At least I'm safe now."
"Hey," said the driver, "I'm glad I could help. I don't like abusive parents at all. Doesn't your father know children are special?"
"Not mine, I'm afraid." Seeing she went far enough, at the next stop light she opted to leave. "I don't want to hold you up from your job, so I'll go ahead and leave."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, I'm here, right?"
"Okay. Just be careful. Some folks aren't too friendly."
"If there's one thing I can do, I'm pretty good at defending myself. Thanks again, pal." Stupid idiot! "Some folks aren't too friendly." Who said I was friendly at all? Now to find Ace Cooper and his friends…and finish them all off!
Darlena's eyes brewed with hatred as she started walking around to find the Magician's home, the Magic Express. "When I find Cooper and his friends, I'm gonna kill every one of them for what they did to me. I am the best magician in the world, and the only way to prove it is to be rid of the Magician…for good!"
