Sorry again for leaving the last chapter on a cliff hanger but I hope I make up for it.

In this chapter it explains how "Ace" came back and maybe a little bit more things will happen who knows.

Well here's a new chapter enjoy :)

~Robert~

I froze as I saw Ace standing, well hovering in front of us. Tears almost came from my eyes but I held them back with all my strength.

"Ace is that you?" I questioned as I flew towards him with wide eyes.

"The one and only," He answered with a smile. "Now lets take care of this one and his pales."

"Alright," I replied as I followed him down to the street.

"I thought you were supposed to be dead?" Freak Show asked as he had a angry expression on his face.

"Well looks like you didn't do a good job of that did you now," Ace responded to Freak Show's comment.

Ace threw Freak Show to the pavement as we neared the ground.

"Ace," Torch and Brave Heart said in unison whilst Shadow just had a shocked expression.

"How is this possible?" Torched asked Ace.

Ace was about to answer but Shadow interrupted him, "There's no time for that now." Shadow hand cuffed Freak Show and then turned him around so he was now looking at him face-to-face, "Where's the girl!"

"Oh I almost forgot about her she's... well she's..." Freak Show said stalling.

"I'm not going to play games! Where is she?" Shadow questioned as he punched Freak Show.

A loud boom came from the background, "She's dead. Your too late heroes."

Shadow threw Freak Show to the floor and he started to laugh hysterically. We all stood there in silence for a moment. Ace picked up Freak Show from the ground and took off into the night sky.

"What's he doing?" Flash asked as we all watched.

"Brave Heart what's happening?" Shadow questioned.

"Ace is telling Freak Show that everything is about to end," She answered.

"End," Shadow repeated. "What's about to end?"

She was about to answer when we saw Ace let go of Freak Show.

"Aero go catch him," Shadow ordered.

I did as he said but Ace shot him with his heat vision before I could reach him. Freak Show smashed into the ground and I had a horrified look on my face. I couldn't believe what just happened, Ace killed him.

I saw Shadow, Torch, and Brave Heart run to where Freak Show landed. I turned my attention back to Ace as he came back down.

"What was that?" I asked with confusion in my voice.

"He had to pay for what he'd done," Ace answered with a serious look.

"We don't kill our enemies remember," I said trying to remind him.

"That way never put an end to the criminal activity did it," Ace responded. "Times have changed; now criminals will get what they so desperately deserve and you can either stand with me or against me."

I didn't say another word as he started to fly away. I was speechless and now that Ace was going to start killing people who would be able to stop him. It would have to be us to stop him.

I flew back down to the rest of the team as they surrounded around Freak Show's lifeless body.

"Why did Ace kill him?" I asked.

"He could've probably wanted revenge from when Freak Show zapped him with that Lazar six months ago," Torch answered.

"That's not Ace," Shadow stated as he looked towards the sky.

"He's right," Flash said agreeing with Shadow.

"What do you mean that isn't the real Ace?" I questioned.

"Cause no matter how much Ace was hurt he would never stoup to killing someone. Ace or should I say Alejandro told me what his father told him before he died. Alejandro promised his dad that he wouldn't cross that line," Shadow stated. "Did you get anything when you entered his mind Brave Heart?"

"That was Ace," She said with a pause. "But Alejandro wasn't in there."

"What do you mean Alejandro wasn't in there?" I questioned noot getting what she was saying.

"I looked for his memories and I never found Alejandro's. Nothing about his mother, father, friends, family, and nothing about his relationships," Brave Heart answered looking at me.

I didn't reply cause I didn't know how to. Ace was there but not Alejandro? That doesn't even make any sense that was clearly his body and he clearly had all of Alejandro's powers.

"The day that Alejandro died I investigated the crime scene," Shadow said snapping me out of my thoughts. "I analyzed the spot where he was hit by the Lazar and found."

"Found what?" I asked desperately wanting to know what he found.

"I found nothing," Shadow stated. "No scorch marks, no residue, no radiation, things were here and then they were gone."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I questioned.

"Haven't you learned anything in science class?" Shadow asked me. "Matter can't be created or destroyed just changed into one form or another. I tried to find more answers by studying the gun Freak Show used on Alejandro but the gun was gone."

"So what are you trying to say with all of this?" Flash asked Shadow wanting him to get to the point.

"It means that Alejandro never died. The Lazar Freak Show used wasn't meant to kill him. All it did was suck Alejandro up to trap him inside the gun. I never knew if this was right cause I had no other evidence to fall on but now I do. They wanted to clone him," Shadow said confidently.

"Clone him," Flash repeated. "Then Alejandro never died; so where is he?"

"I'm not sure about that part but Brave Heart said Alejandro wasn't in there only Ace was," Shadow paused. "So Alejandro is probably with Dr. Hartman."

"What!" I yelled as I slammed my foot down. "We need to go free him now!"

"We will but for that we need to catch the clone to know where he came from," Shadow assured me.

"Whoa," Torch stated as he held his hands out. "If that clone has all of Alejandro's powers and strength it's not going to be easy."

"We need to call the rest of the team," Brave Heart stated.

"But what if we aren't enough?" I questioned while trying to stick to reality.

"That's why I have a back up plan," Shadow stated as his jet appeared on top of us. A rope fell from it and Shadow grabbed onto it. "You guys go find Ace, contact the rest of the team while I go make arrangements if necessary."

"He never told us his back up plan," Flash stated as he turned his attention towards Brave Heart. "Did you get anything?"

"No," Brave Heart answered.

"No?" Flash replied whilst we all gave her strange looks. "No you didn't get anything or no you wont do it?"

"I didn't get anything," She responded. "Shadow developed something to bloke me from entering his mind. He keeps it in his mask."

"Dang just when I thought I had him figured all out," Torch added as he let out a sigh.

"Whatever there's no time for questions," I told them. "Flash you and I will find Ace while Torch and Brave Heart contact the team."

"Gotcha," Flash replied as he ran away.

"We'll get right on it," Brave Heart responded.

.......................................************** The Elite Found Ace **************..............................

The whole team arrived except for Jumper, Star Fire, and Robin. They were on there way but who knows how long it will take them to get here.

"Stand down!" I yelled to Ace whilst Artemus and I held onto him tightly. Multi-man made a dozen of himself and jumped onto us to help keep him down as well.

"Please It's going to take more than this to stop me," Ace replied as he threw all of us off of him. "You all have tried to clean up this world but you've failed. Now it's my turn."

"Your way isn't what this world needs you bloody idiot," Artemus called out and you could plainly here her British accent. "Killing people isn't the way for a safe world and you will pay for all the murders you've committed."

Ace had killed many criminals and everyone around the world has already heard of his crimes. This clone ruined Alejandro's reputation and not only that but the people started to despise him. They even tore down the big A at Alejandro's funeral.

"All those victims were all convicted felons and murderers," Ace snapped whilst glaring at Artemus.

"So what does that make you?" I questioned.

"It makes me a hero and I'm twice the hero he was," Ace answered.

My eyes widened in anger as Ace said he was better than Alejandro. How can this stupid clone even compare himself to Alejandro. No one and nothing can even be compared to him.

"How dare you compare yourself to him you stupid fuck!" I yelled out as I threw myself at him.

I grabbed him and pinned him up against the building. "You will never be like him. You're nothing like him!" I screamed at him whilst punching him with every word.

"Well he's gone now and you either follow the new rules or be judged as a criminal," Ace replied as he grabbed both of my fist and headbutted me off of him.

..................................................................................

~Alejandro~

Uh... I need to get out of here. I thought I was dieing when Freak Show hit me with that Lazar but I was wrong. All it did was trap me in the gun and then when I was let out I was captured by Dr. Hartman and his team of super villains.

I tried to fight my way but they were all ready for me and I didn't stand a chance. Now I'm stuck in this tank unable to move, open my eyes, or even talk. All I can do is hear the people around me.

That's how I know that they used my DNA to make a clone that looked exactly like me. The clone was meant to kill The Elite but by all the commotion he didn't follow through with it. At least the clone knows what was good from wrong.

Or so I thought. He might not of killed The Elite but now he's killing the criminals and he's dressed up as me. Or Ace for that matter.

I need to find a way to get out of here and stop him.

"Ace can you hear me?" I heard somebody say in my head.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my head?" I questioned.

"That's not important now, we need to hurry before Dr. Hartman finds out I'm speaking with you," The voice spoke in a hurry.

"Alright then what are you going to do?" I asked.

"I opened your mind try and contact one of your friends to come and free you," She stated.

"How do I know this isn't a trap?" I questioned not knowing if I could trust her.

"Just trust me Alejandro," She answered in a sweet tone.

"Alright then," I replied a little bit shocked as she said my real name.

There's only one person who can do this.

....................................................................

~Jason~

"Jason can you hear me?"

What the hell.

"Oh shit!" I yelled as I dogged Ace's attack but just barely.

I ran far from him and tried to figure out where the voice came from.

"Jason it's Alejandro you need to come get me out now!"

"Alejandro is it really you?" I asked repling mentally.

"Yes you need to come free me. I'm in the same building in South America from where we escaped," Alejandro stated.

"Really don't worry I'll be there in a flash," I replied as a smile made it's way onto my face.

"Quickly I need you now more than ever," Alejandro said with a tone of yearning.

"Flash snap out of it!" Brave Heart yelled as I came back out of my thoughts. "Get your head in the game. We have to hold Ace back while Shadow comes with his back up and til the rest of the team gets here."

"I'll be right back," I replied as I teleported out of there.

I teleported to the tree where I freed both Alejandro and I. Memories started to flow through my mind. I quickly shook my head.

No I can't think about that now; I gotta save Alejandro. I remembered the way as if it was just yesterday and made my way to the building.

"I'm coming Alejandro," I said to myself as a smile came across my face thinking that I was the one Alejandro chose to rescue him.
