The spirit of vengeance

--Blizzard Snow; First Person Perspective---

Tell me, how do you plan on keeping me unseen by any of your friends? And, how exactly will we find Torch? The Rider questioned as I drove through town.

“First thing’s first: I’m staying out of sight, and trying not to be noticed." I said

No duh. The Rider said.

"And just to answer your second question, I know where Torch lives." I responded after his smart comment.

Wait, what? Since WHEN? Rider yelled, making me wince. Oops. Sorry.

“Don't yell man..." I softly spoke in pain as I rubbed my head. "That almost left me deaf , but to answer your question again, I've been to his house when I was younger, he and my father were friends; partners, to say."

Wow, your dad was in a gang? The rider asked, shocked, as my bike soon enough came to a halt. Man, your life probably sucked as a kid, huh?

“Pretty much, you’re right. Hell, someone even tried killing us once.” I commented with a chuckle.

I’ve been dead. Rider mentioned; I rolled my eyes, finding my way out of an alleyway. Where are we going? he continued.

"I’m hungry dude…" I said, spotting what looked to be like a café shop named ‘Sugarcube Corner’. "It’s a school day; no one should spot us here, at least. I just hope Mr. And Ms. Cake won't recognize me."

Heck if I knew dude. Rider blurted out as I entered the café. You were the one to die in the fire, y’now…

"Don't you dare sing again..." I warned in anguish.

"Hello, welcome to Sugarcube Corner!” Mrs. Cake began as I approached the counter. "What may I get you?"

"A doughnut and coffee. That is all." I commented while trying to make my appearance as unnoticeable as possible.

"That will be eight and seventy five." Mrs. Cake said as I fished the money out of my pocket. "Are you new here? Because I don't think I've ever seen you before."

"Just arrived yesterday." I responded as Mrs. Cake handed me a doughnut. ”I've been on the road since last night."

"Err…so where did you come from, if you don't mind me asking?" Mrs. Cake asked as she filled a cup with coffee.

"New York. Couldn't handle all the heroes there.” I said as I took a bite out of my doughnut.

"What wrong with the heroes there?" Mrs. Cake questioned as I took a sip at my coffee.

"Loki's invasion was one of the problems; I don't how many times I had a superhero crash through my wall." I mentioned. ”So I decided to leave."

"I saw on the news when it happened. It must've been terrifying." Mrs. Cake continued.

We’ve mass murdered criminals… The Rider secretly said as I set my empty cup down. Eh, we find an occasional angel or demon or something.

"It wasn't a lot that bad." I told her as I saw her take my cup. "The worst part is the fact that it was near the Stark Tower; I was just entering that city when it began."

"I see." Mrs. Cake said as I stood up. "Hope to see you here again soon, however, before you leave, what's your name?"

"My name isn’t important." I said as I left." I'm just passing through."

"It really is him…" Mrs. Cake whispered as she picked up the phone.

---Canterlot High; Lunchtime---

How could someone do that!? Rainbow thought to herself as she sat down at a lunch table. Why would someone seek joy in destroying the gravestone?

"Hey Dashie." Sunset said in a calm manner as she sat across from her. "Still upset about yesterday?"

"Yeah…I mean, Blizzard was a very nice guy, why would someone do this?" Rainbow said as she looked down at her bottle of water.

"I don't know why, Dashie. I wish I knew though." Sunset calmly stated again, seeing the rest of their friends joined them. "Hey girls..."

"You still upset about yesterday, Rainbow?" Fluttershy timidly yet stupidly enough asked, making Rainbow look away sadly and angrily. "I wish there was something we could do."

"Wait, I have an idea on who might've destroyed Blizzard’s gravestone!!" Pinkie cheered as Rainbow looked up at her. "What if it was Blizzard himself?"

"Pinkie darling, you simply don’t play with jokes like that.” Rarity admonished, with Rainbow glaring now at Pinkie. "It's not funny at all."

"I'm not joking." Pinkie said with the best stern tone she could. "I watched a movie a few days ago, in it there was this guy, who faked his death, and years later he came back and destroyed his gravestone."

"Why would he do that?" Rarity asked with a confused look." Did he have a reason?"

"Yeah, to send a sign that he was back." Pinkie mentioned as Rarity gasped.

"Rainbow, remember when the firefighters said they had never found Blizzard’s body after the fire?"

"Yeah, why? You really think he's back?" Rainbow said with a hint of hope in her voice.

"WHAT OTHER CHOICE IS THERE!?” Pinkie yelled excitedly as the lunchroom became so quiet you could hear crickets. "Sorry."

"Wait, if Blizzard is really back, wouldn't he made himself known?" Applejack asked, raising an eyebrow as to what a brief of a thought that was.

"Maybe he's waiting for the right moment." Sunset commented as Rainbow’s phone rang. "Or maybe...."

"...Are you sure?" Rainbow breathed, accidentally cutting Sunset off. “You’re positive?" She asked; a smile infected across her face. "Thank you so much for telling me!" Rainbow said; she closed her phone. " That was Mrs. Cake. Guess who just showed up at Sugarcube a few minutes ago?"

"Who?" Fluttershy asked. "Was it someone you know?"

"It was….Blizzard Wind!" Rainbow said as she smiled widely. "Pinkie, you were right, he is still alive!!"

"Told ya!" Pinkie smiled slyly, giggling." Wait, did she say where he went?"

"He’s headed towards Ponyville homes." Rainbow said as her smile disappeared. "That's where he used to live."

"We find him after school, and ask him." Applejack said as the bell rang. “Maybe he can tell us why he faked his death."

---Blizzard Wind; First Person Perspective---

This is where you lived? The Rider asked as I drove through a neighborhood. Why would someone want to kill someone here?

"Plenty of reasons." I said, pulling over to stop the bike. "My father was Torch's second-hand man, and my mother worked with the Wonderbolts."

Sounds like your parents were pretty popular. The Rider chuckled as I got off my bike and walked towards a piece of burnt rubble, which was my house at some point. In a good and bad way.

"Exactly. The fire started round back of the house, the police claimed it was an electrical fire, but for that to have happened the fire spread way too fast." I said as we walked into the house.

You think it was set? The Rider asked as I looked around for clues. Wait, you KNOW someone set the fire.

"Not just someone." I then picked up a large tube, as it had embedded was a strange symbol, that of a bug. "Pest."

Changelings? The Rider questioned in fear; I crushed the object in my hand. Better be glad that wasn’t a bomb.

"Like that would have made a difference several years ago. My parents were innocent, sure. The Changelings however..." I trailed off.

How many, though? The Rider asked, then I felt a burning sensation in the back of my head. Just a few?

"Hundreds." I replied, the burning sensation felt hotter by the minute.

They die. The Rider angrily reproached, starting to take control. "THEY ALL DIE!!!!" The Rider proclaimed. Suddenly, I heard footsteps in the gravel approach me.

"You came at a bad time." I warned whoever was there, turning around. "I suggest you leave."

"Hey, I heard someone talking over here." The person said as I rolled my eyes. "Then I heard someone yelling, so I came over to investigate.”

"I don't care." I said as I walked past him. "There’s someone who deserves to die." I walked towards the person, only to reveal he wasn’t alone, and someone blocked me off. He looked like a young man, mostly in his 20’s, but at a height taller and narrower than mine. He had more meat in his arms and legs, and he held himself in a position where he would be a problem, which I had enough of already. He wore an eloquent cape round his back, and seemed to have prepared to some degree, having full silver plates around his white undershirt and around his elbows and kneecaps. His face was that of an enemy’s; his eyes were crystal blue in a menacing way, and just then I noticed his canine teeth were actually sharp, poking out of his mouth as he clenched his teeth. Midnight, which was what I thought I heard him called as, had a blue dyed chest plate on, with khaki pants and large, metal rimmed boots which weighed him down apparently, since when I pushed him, he remained still. He looked at me, his pupils being the only moving part of his body, as they shrank into two lines in his eyes.

"Death is not what you decide to take out on a person." Midnight stated, as he lifted me up for a brief second. I pulled off then.

"I know......I’m not the one who decides." I warned, my eyes glowing a bright amber orange and what my skin was had fallen off and replaced, starting to reveal my skull and fire.

"Now leave." The Rider said, picking up a piece of wood and lighting it up at the end of it.

"I won’t permit letting you free so that you can murder people who deserve jail. I will be the one who will bring you down, and you will pay up your sins now or later under my boots." Midnight boldly stated, keeping his hands up and legs spread out, and pulling out some sort of sword with two edges. The Rider growled and charged him. "Oh boy."

Your sin will find you out...

---Ghost Rider---

"Oh boy." Midnight said as The Rider swung the flaming wood at him. "What are you? Some creature from Equestria?"

The Rider stopped for a moment and stared at him. "Equestria?" The Rider asked. "The F*ck is Equestria?"

"So you're not from Equestria, then where are you from?" Midnight asked as The Rider swung at him again. "Do you have a name?"

"Go..... to....Hell." The Rider said as he tried to kick Midnight, but only for Midnight to dodge and kick Rider into one of the brunt walls of the house.

"Listen, like I said, you just go after someone who you think deserves to die." Midnight said as The Rider stood up. "I'll ask one last time, who are you?"

"I'm the spirit of vengeance." The Rider said as he threw the burning wood into the house. "But you can call me Ghost Rider."

"Never heard of you." Midnight said as he pulled out of of his swords. "But still, I can't let you hurt any innocent people."

"HAHAHAHA....That is rich." The Rider said cackling. "You don't understand, you're trying to stop me from finding guilty people." The Rider said as Midnight looked at him confused.

"It doesn't matter." Midnight said as a fire began to spread in the house. "You're still going down."

"Funny, that's what this one guy said to before I came." The Rider said as Midnight charged and stabbed him."Funny, that's what he did too."

"What the..." Midnight said as he pulled the sword as it started melting. "Should've seen that coming."

"I'm made of fire, what did you expect?" The Rider asked as Midnight shrugged. "But to say at least, you can put up a fight."

"Thanks...I guess." Midnight said as The Rider threw a fireball at him. "WHOA!!!!!"

"I thought you could fight?" The Rider said as Midnight threw a punch at him as The Rider caught his fist. "That's just sad."

"What about this?" Midnight said kicking The Rider into the now burning ruins. "I've fought a lot of things, something like you should be a breeze to kill."

"Then why haven't you yet?" The Rider asked standing up. "Also I don't think my host would appreciate dying a second time."

"Second time?" Midnight asked as The Rider. "Who's your host?"

"Sorry, but I can't say, it would ruin the surprise." The Rider said as he picked up a chain. "It's not mine, but it will do."

"Even if you kill me, your sins will find you." Midnight said as The Rider chuckled. "I'm being serious."

"I kinda have a free pass." The Rider said as he swung his chain at him as Midnight ducked. "I hunt down people who've committed sins."

"Some of those people deserve justice, not be hunted and killed like an animal." Midnight said as the chain hit him in the chest, burning some of his clothes.

"Sorry, but that's Johnny Blaze's job, not mine." The Rider said grabbing Midnight by the neck and picking him up. "Now then, I suggest it be best for you NEVER to cross my path again." The Rider said as Midnight struggled to break free. "Now if I've made myself clear, be on your way." The Rider said dropping Midnight and stepping on his chest. "Next you see me, I'll probably eat your soul." The Rider said as he placed his hand on Midnight's chest causing him to yell in pain as it burned him. "Have a nice day."

"Rot...in...Tartarus." Midnight said wheezing as The Rider began to walk off. "I...Will..Find you."

"Then I'm looking forward round two." The Rider said as he left the burning ruins. "Until then Midnight Sapphire, farwell." The Rider saluting Midnight as he walked to his bike.

---C.H.S after school---

"He should've called by now." Sunset said with a worried tone as he leaned against the statue. "I hope he's okay."

"Hey Sunset." Rainbow said walking up to her. "Still haven't heard from Midnight?"

"No, I haven't." Sunset said as she checked her phone again. "I hope he isn't hurt or captured."

"I'm sures he's fine." Rainbow said as a fire truck zoomed by, followed by an ambulance. "That's not good." She said as police car zoomed by a few seconds later. "Geez."

"No kidding." Sunset said as the rest of their friends came to them. "I just hope that Midnight wasn't involved."

"I have a feeling he was." Applejack said chuckling. "You know him."

"Maybe he fought the Ghost Rider." Pinkie said smiling as Sunset gave weird look. "What?"

"Aaaany way?" Rainbow Dash said rolling her eyes. "We still having the slumber party Friday night?"

"I asked my parents, and they said you're more then welcome to have it at my place." Rarity said as she grabbed her phone as it buzzed. "Sorry, I must get home, see you all at six?"

"Yep." Pinkie said as Rarity nodded and walked off. "Oh hey Midnight." Pinkie said looking behind Sunset as Midnight limped up up behind her. "You okay?"

"Call...an ambulance." Midnight said as he fell over. "Please."

"MIDNIGHT!!!" Sunset yelled with worried. "What happened?"

"I'll call an ambulance." Fluttershy said pulling out her phone.

"What's with all the burn marks?" Rainbow Dash asked noticing his burnt clothes.

"I fought some sort of demon or spirit, I think." Midnight said as Sunset helped him up. "He melted my sword as if was nothing."

"Was he from Equestria?" Applejack asked. "Because after the sirens, I've had enough of magic for a while."

"No, he's from this world." Midnight said wincing in pain. "At first I thought it was just a normal person, I didn't get a good look before he transformed."

"Transformed?" Pinkie asked. "Like the hulk?"

"No. His skin seem to melt off, and he a flaming skull." Midnight said as the group gasped. "You know who I'm talking about?"

"You saw the Ghost Rider?" Rainbow asked. "And fought him?"

"Yeah, you saw how that turned out." Midnight said chuckling, then groaning in pain. "It hurts to laugh."

"The ambulance will be here in a few minutes." Fluttershy said as she put her phone away, noticing the worried looks on her friend faces. "What happened?"

"Oh, Midnight was just telling us how he got his butt kicked by the Ghost Rider." Pinkie said as Fluttershy yelped in fear.

"The Ghost Rider is here?" Fluttershy said with fear. "In Canterlot City?"

"You'll be fine Flutters." Midnight said as a siren was heard. "The Ghost Rider told me himself, that he can't kill innocent people, but word of advice, don't make him mad."

"Well duh, he can eat your soul." Pinkie said as Fluttershy fainted. "I shouldn't have said that."

"There's the ambulance." Rainbow said as an ambulance pulled up. "HE'S OVER HERE!!!!" Rainbow yelled getting the paramedics attention.

"What happened to you?" One of paramedics said with worry noticing all the burns. "Get the stretcher over here."

"Please be okay." Sunset said quietly as they put Midnight on the stretcher." Please."

The caretaker

---4:30 am, unknown warehouse, outskirts of Canterlot city---

"Hurry it up." A Changeling said as a group of changeling drones loaded a truck. "Chrysalis said we need to be out of here as soon as possible."

"Why do we have to leave, did the police find out where we are?" One of the drones asked.

"No, I was told that the Ghost Rider was spotted a half hour ago." The leader said as some the drones gave worried looks. "And if he comes here, we're boned, SO HURRY IT UP!!!!!" he yelled as the drones sped up their work.

"You hear that?" One of the drones said as a motorcycle was heard, followed by laughter."Uh Boss?"

"Yeah, I heard it." The leader said as drone sped up there pace." HURRY IT UP!!!!"

"You got it boss." One of the drones said as the laughter died down. "Boss?"

"Quiet." The leader said as the motorcycle sound stopped.

"One, two, Riders coming for you, Three, four, better lock your door, Five, six, gonna need more than sticks, Seven, eight, you're gonna see the gate , Nine, ten, now I'm awake again." A voice sang from the shadows. "Here's Ghosty!"

"SHOW YOUSELF!!!!" The leader yelled as the voice cackled. "What's so funny?"

"Why you, of course." The voice said as the changelings drew their weapons. "Those won't save you." The voice said as a chain flew out of the darkness and wrapped itself around one of the drones neck and pulled it back into the darkness as it screamed. "One down, the rest of you to go." The Rider said as he stepped out of the shadow, dragging the changeling behind him."So...who's ready to die first?"

"OPEN FIRE!!!" The leader yelled as the changelings fired at The Rider as he laughed as the bullets either bounced off or went threw him."What is he?"

"You know who I am." The rider said as the leader tried to fire again but to only discover that his gun was empty as the Rider swung his chain and hit one the changelings, turning him into ash as it screamed in pain. "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you." The Rider said as he hit the another changeling, leaving only the leader."I'll just make you feel the pain of the innocents."

"I'm sorry." The leader said as he began to cry. "I'll give you anything, money, power?" The leader said as The Rider grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "There must be something you want?"

"Your soul." The Rider said as he The leader closed eyes and began sobbing. "Look into my eyes."The rider said as The leaders eyes slowly opened. "Your soul is stained by the blood of the innocent, Feel their pain." The Rider said as the leader began screaming as flames filled his eyes as visions of crimes he has done in the past filled his vision. "Enjoy your suffering." The rider said as the leaders eyes turned into black orbs, The Rider dropped him and started walking back towards his bike.

---Canterlot cemetery 6:46 am--

"That was fun." The Rider said as the sun began to rise. "I guess....he...wants...out." The Rider as he came to a stop and fell off his bike. "Your...turn." The Rider said as the flames died down and the rider began roaring as skin started to reappear and the roaring started to turn into screams of pain as the the rider turned back into blizzard wind, before passing out.

"What do we have here?" A voice with a southern accent said walking over to blizzard. "Hey." The person said before poking Blizzard with his boot. "Guess I have to drag you."

---A few hours later, first person---

"Ow...my head." I said as I woke up. "Need...water." I said as I looked over, I noticed cups of water. "Thanks." I said as sat up and quickly drank the water.

Wasn't me. The rider said as I swung my feet out of the bed I was in. It was that guy. The rider said as I noticed a man with a cowboy hat, holding a shovel, standing in the doorway of the room I was in. Something familiar about him.

"Morning bonehead." The man said as I stood up and stretched. "How are you feeling?"

"Like my skull is on fire." I said rubbing my head as the man chuckled. "But other then that, I'm fine."

"Good to here." The man said as we walked through the cemetery. "It does."

"What?" I asked as the man set his the shovel down. "What are you talking about?"

"If you're wondering if your bike looks normal, it does."The man said leaning against one of the trees. "I suppose you'll be on your way."

"Who are you?" I asked as the man looked at me.

"Who are you?" The man repeated pointing at me as I rolled my eyes and walked back to my bike. "Your The Ghost Rider." The man said as I stopped and The Rider cackled.

I know who that is. The Rider said in between laughs. You'll never guess.

"Just who are you?" I asked, the man stared at me." I'm Blizzard wind."

"Carter Slade." The man said tipping his hat as I looked at him shocked. "You heard of me?"

"Your the phantom rider, the one who out ran the devil." I said as Carter smiled. "It's an honor."

"Why'd you do it?" Carter said as I smile disappeared." Why'd you make the deal?"

"I was young and stupid." I said shrugging. "I did it so my mother wouldn't die."

"What did you get in return?" Carter asked.

"Heartache." I said sadly was I walked towards my bike. "Thanks for the water."

"Your welcome." Carter said as I started my bike and drove off.

The D.C.G ( Dragon Clan gang)

So....We just met Carter Slade. The Rider said as I drove away from the cemetery. I wonder who we'll meet next?

"We need to find Torch." I said as I turned onto the main road. "I've been getting distracted, I need to talk to him."

What about? The Rider asked as I sped up. Your parents?

"You got it." I said as I stopped at red light. "Torch and his gang, if I remember correctly, are somewhere near the abandoned were house district; if he's not there, we can check the underground."

The underground? The Rider asked as the light turned green. Mind filling me in?

"Number one rule of fight club, never talked about fight club," I said, causing the Rider to cackle. "It’s also a way to get some money if push comes to shove."

Seriously? The Rider said surprised.

"Of course not," I said annoyed. "Hard part will be getting in."

Why not fight our way in? The Rider asked as I stopped in front of an old warehouse. Would that work?

"Nope," I said as I turned off my bike. "I need to find a way in," I said as I got off my bike and started walking along the building. I heard a strange noise, followed by cheering. "What was that?" I said to myself as I turned the corner and noticed a group of people go in the warehouse, laughing. "I think we're at the right place."

Ya think? The Rider said as I approached the entrance. You think he's here?

"LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!!!!" A voice bellowed as I entered the building." YOUR DRAGON LORD DEMANDS IT!!!!"

"Yep," I said as I noticed a crowd of people cheering." I wonder who’s fighting?"

"Torch’s daughter Ember and Garble." One of the spectators said as next to me. "You new here?"

"I arrived a few days ago." I said as I shook hands with the person. "Who are you?"

"The name’s Spark," Spark said over the people cheering as the fight began. "What's your name?"

"Call me Blizzard," I said as The Rider chuckled." Where can I find Torch?"

"He's up in the booth." Spark said pointing towards a seating area. "But no one goes up there unless you’re called or you work for him. Or you are related to him."

"How would I get his attention then?" I asked as Garble was knocked out of the arena and landed in front of us, groaning in pain.

"You fight her," Spark gestured as the crowd cheered and chanted Ember’s name." You'd have to be an inhuman or a mutant to have any chance to win."

"Sounds like fun," I said as I smirked. "Where do I sign up?"

"You don't have to," Spark said as he pointed towards the arena. "Just jump in and fight.... Hold on, you can't be serious?"

"Oh I am," I said as I started walking towards the arena. "Wish me luck."

"Your funeral," Spark said giving me a worried look. "He's got guts."

"IS THERE NO ONE WHO CAN ATLEAST LAND A SINGLE HIT!!!!!" Torch said with a mocking tone as a few spectators laughed. "Anyone?"

"I'll have a crack at her," I said as I entered the arena followed by the spectators laughing. "What's so funny?"

"You can't be serious?" Ember asked as I crossed my arms. "You don't look so tough."

Oh, if only I was out, then she'll have another thing coming. The Rider chided as I rolled my eyes. DECK HER IN THE SHNOOZE!!!

"You'd be surprised." I said as Ember scoffed." I've been halfway around the world."

"So you’re a drifter then?" Ember asked as I nodded. "This should be fun. I accept."

"Very well," Torch said as he chuckled." What is your name, newbie?"

"Blizzard," I said balling my hand into a fist. "Blizzard Wind." I said as Torch's jaw dropped.

"Very....Very well." Torch said with a nervous tone as he began to sweat. "LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!!!!!"

"Come at me," I said. Ember growled and swung at me; I dodged and kicked her towards the edge of the arena. "So sad," I said mockingly as Ember charged at me again and swung another punch. I slid under her and tripped her. "This is just sad."

"QUIT MOVING!!!!" Ember yelled as she lunged at me; I roundhouse kicked her back." You’re tougher than you look, I'll give you that."

"If only you knew," I said as someone threw her a staff. "We're using weapons now?" I asked as Ember smirked. "Oh, I'm so scared."

"SHUT UP!!!" She yelled as she swung the staff downwards at my head as I caught it. "What the..?" She said as I yanked it out of her hands and kneed her in the gut, causing her to stagger.

"The reason I've been halfway around is because I've been on the run." I said as I grabbed Ember by the collar of her outfit and brought her close to my face. "I've been hunted down by the Avengers, the X-Men, and mother-f@cking Deadpool." I said glaring at her as she looked at me with fear. "The reason: I'm hiding a dark secret, One that can EAT YOUR STINKING SOUL!!!!!" I yelled as my eyes turned into black pits, then turned to normal as I threw her of the ring.

"B-BLIZZARD WIND WINS!!!!!" Torch yelled as the crowd cheered." Blizzard Wind, a word."

"About time." I said to myself as I stepped out of the arena as I walked past Ember who looked at me with fear.

---The booth---

"Come in," Torch said as I knocked on the door. "That was quite the fight."

"Thanks, I guess." I said as Torch stared at the arena as two people fought.

"Are you the son of Northeast Wind?" Torch asked without turning around. "You better say the truth, too; I'll have you killed for impersonating the son of a dead man."

"I am," I said as Torch faced me." I am Northwest's son."

"It's good to see you lad." Torch said walking over to me and placing a hand on my shoulder. "I see your father trained you well."

"My mother too." I said sadly, as Torch sighed.

"I am very sorry for what happened," Torch said morosely. "I considered your parents very good friends. Even though they worked for SHIELD, they were good people."

"They were," I said as Torch motioned for me to sit down. "I miss them dearly."

"I understand," Torch said as he sat down behind a desk. "Now, I must ask, why are you here?"

"I came for answers." I said as Torch leaned back in his chair.

"Very well, I'll answer your questions," Torch nodded. "But you have to answer my questions."

"Me first," I said as I leaned forward. "Were any of your gang members involved in my parents’ deaths?"

"Only one, but he was....Disposed of," Torch said smirking. "Now answer my question: How are you still alive? I sent some of my men to help your parents, one of them saw the roof fall on you. How did you survive that?"

"It's hard to explain," I said Torch stared at me. "It was because of a deal I made...to cure my mother of cancer."

"I’m afraid, I don't understand," Torch said as set one of my arms on the desk." I knew your mother had cancer, but the part I don't understand is, how was she cured?"

"I....I made a deal with the devil." I said as Torch looked at me in concern. "I sold my soul to the devil. I was desperate, and I didn't want her to die."

"I'm finding that hard to believe," Torch said crossing his arms. "You… selling your soul to...." He trailed off as I lifted up my hand, which was now a flaming Skelton hand. "Impossible."

"I'm the Ghost Rider." I said bluntly as my hand turned to normal. "Now answer my question. Is Chrysalis still in Canterlot city?"

"She is," Torch said as he stared at my hand. "We've been trying to figure out how to bring her down, but we've come up with nothing."

"Father, we need to talk," Ember said walking in then looking at me with fear. "It can wait."

"You can tell me now," Torch said as he motioned for her to come closer. "What do you need, Ember?"

"It's about him," She said pointing towards me. "Is he going to be part of the league?"

"No." I said as Ember stepped away from me." I'm not gonna bite."

"Why are you scared of him?" Torch asked as he gave me a worried look. "Speak."

"During our fight, I may have shown her a tiny bit of the Rider," I said as Torch looked at Ember, who nodded. "Don't worry; he can't hurt her in any way."

"He better not," Torch warned as the Rider cackled. "Or there will be hell to pay."

"Funny choice of words," The Rider said as my eyes turned orange as he took over. "I'm the Rider. Nice to meet ya."

"Okay, that's freaky," Ember said as the Rider chuckled. "I thought you had a flaming skull and whatnot."

"Blizzard is letting me talk to you guys at the moment," The Rider said. "He's sorry for the scare; he got so caught up in the fight that he let his guard down for me."

"I see." Ember said as she sat down.

"I wish to talk to Blizzard." Torch said as the Rider rolled his eyes as they turned blue.

"Yes?" I asked as Ember looked at me shocked. "Listen, The Rider wants out soon, so make it quick."

"Do you have a place to stay?" Torch asked. "I understand you arrived a few days ago."

"No, I don't," I said as Torch stroked his chin in thought. "I've mostly slept on the streets, or somewhere where there's water."

"Well you’re welcome to stay with the Dragon clan. Your father was a close friend," Torch said as I stood up. "Even though he's dead, I'll still owe him."

"Is there a catch?" I asked as Torch smiled. "What is it?"

"I wish for you to become a member of the clan," Torch said as he opened a drawer in his desk and pulled out a phone. "You'll report directly to me."

"My father, and so do I." I said as Torch handed me the phone. "Is this only meant to be used to only contact you?"

"You can use it however you wish," Torch said as I put the phone in my pocket. "It is not bugged or anything, so don't worry about us spying on you. Also, I require you to go to school; you’re still young."

"I assume I'll be going to Canterlot High?" I asked as Torch nodded." Did my father mention I used to go to Crystal Prep?"

"He did not," Torch said crossing his arms. "Do you have a problem with this?"

"No, I'm glad I'll be going to C.H.S." I said chuckling. "Crystal prep is a hellhole."

"I'm glad you agree," Torch said as I opened the door to leave. "I'll send you the address of our location later on."

"Great, gives me a chance to fight some more," I said as smirked. "Never thought being a street fighter would be fun."

Reunion

---C.H.S, lunchtime---

"Hey Rainbow." Green Song said as she sat down next to Rainbow Dash. "Waiting for the others?"

"Yeah." Rainbow said with a yawn. "How was Robotics class?"

"It was fun, Did you stay up late last night?" Song asked as Rainbow yawned again. "I'll take that as a yes."

"She was out late trying to find Blizzard." Applejack said as she sat down. "She texted me asking if I could help."

"I know he's out there somewhere." Rainbow said as Applejack sighed. "I searched around where he lived, and some other places he liked to hang out when we were younger."

"Maybe Pinkie was wrong." Applejack said as Rainbow glared at her. "Just hear me out, maybe he did have someone who didn't like him."

"Then it would've been someone from here." Rainbow said as she bit into her food." He used to go to Crystal Prep."

"Really?" Song asked surprised. "I guess not all Shadowbolts are complete jerks."

"Him and two others were actually very nice." Rainbow said as the rest of The Rainbooms sat down. "Maybe I should've asked them if they've seen him."

"No luck finding Blizzard?" Sunset asked as Rainbow shook her head no. "Maybe after school we could help you."

"No can do for me." Applejack said. "Have to help at the farm today, We have a big order to do."

"That's alright." Rainbow said sadly. "Sorry Pinkie, but maybe you were wrong." Rainbow said as Pinkie stared at window and began smiling. "Eh, Pinkie?"

"NEW STUDENT!" Pinkie yelled as she ran out of the cafeteria.

"Should we stop her?" Rarity asked as they quickly chased their friend. "Alright then."

---Blizzard wind---

Something on your mind? The Rider asked I pulled up to C.H.S. Sometimes I wish we never agreed that I'm not aloud inside your thoughts.

"Just nervous, that's all." I said as I parked my bike. "It's not everyday, that someone that died is going to high school."

That's not it, is it? The Rider asked as I sighed. as I got off my bike and walked towards the school.

"I'm just a bit worried about what would happen if I met my old friends." I said as I pushed the door open. "It been at least a good few years since I last saw them."

"HIYA!" A girl with pink hair said seemingly coming out of now causing me to yelp. "I'MPINKIEPIEWELCOMETOCANTERLOTHIGHWHATSYOURNAMEYOUKNOWHATNEVERMINDILLFINDOUTYOURNAMELATERCOMEBYTHEGYMAFTERSCHOOLANDILLTHROWYOUAPARTYOKAYBYE!" The girl said then disappearing quickly.

"What...the f*ck?" Me and the Rider said in unison. "What just happened?"

I don't know, and I don't wanna know. The Rider said startled. Let's just get to the office.

"Couldn't agree more." I said as I walked towards a door that had the word 'office' on it. "Found it."

I once new a guy whose name was sh*t Sherlock, first name being no. The Rider said as I rolled my eyes as I entered the office.

"May I help you?" A women with green and pink hair asked as I entered. "Are you a new student?"

"I am." I said as I sat in a chair. "I'm here to register."

"I see, well I'm Principal Celestia." Celestia said as she opened a draw and grabbed some papers. "I just need you to fill out these forms, and I'll give you a schedule for your classes."

"Thanks." I said I grabbed a pen and filled out the papers and handed them back.

"Blizzard Wind, Interesting name." Celestia said as she put the papers in a file. "I knew some who was named Tropical Wind, are you related in any way?"

"She was my mother." I said sadly.

"I'm so sorry." Celestia said. "I never knew she had a son, it nice to meet you."

"Likewise." I said as Celestia handed me a piece of paper with my classes. "These are my classes I assume."

"They are, as well as your locker number and combination." Celestia said as I looked over the list. "As you notice you have free period right after lunch, which will end in a few minutes, if you'd like, I can have someone show you around who has free period as well?"

"That would be nice." I said as Celestia turned on the intercom.

"Sunset Shimmer, please report the office." Celestia said as my blood froze. "Just wait outside, and she'll be here on a minute." She said as I left the office.

"She's here as well?" I said to myself slightly nervous." It just had to be Shimmer."

What's up? The Rider said as a paced back and forth. You cool?

"Not I'm not." I said as I leaned up against the wall." A bully I knew before I went to crystal prep is here."

Want me to eat their soul? The Rider asked chuckling.

"I know you can't." I said sighing as I lightly tapped my head against the wall. "But I wish you could."

"You must be the new student." A voice said from behind me. "I'm Sunset Shimmer."

"Pleasure." I said as turned around. "We've met before, so don't bother asking my name."

"We have?" Sunset asked as I looked at her. "I remember you, you were that kid...oh."

"Let's just get this over with." I said slightly annoyed. "I know you don't know my name, and I'm not saying it either, you're just here to show me around, and that's it."

"A-alright then." Sunset said as she motioned for me to follow. "I'll show where everything is."

"Lead the way."

---Rainbow dash---

"Man, where is Pinkie?" Rainbow said as her friend caught up to her. "Find her?"

"She was in the kitchen baking cupcakes for the new student." Rarity said as Rainbow sighed with relief. "She's going to throw him a welcome party?"

"Did she find out what his name is?" Rainbow asked. "or did she do her usual thing and just say hi and run off and start setting up a welcoming party?"

"What do you think?" Rarity said as the bell rang. "Let's get to class, my next class is with Ms. Cherilee, we can ask Sunset next period who this new student is."

---Blizzard Wind---

"This is chemistry lab, and just up ahead is the library." Sunset said as she pointed to each room. "And that's pretty much concludes our tour."

"Thanks." I said as we entered the library. "You know for a bully, your being surprisingly very nice, what are you up to?"

"I've changed, I'm not who I used to be." Sunset said crossing her arms. "I understand if you're mad at me, I'm sorry for what I did to you, spreading all those lies about you."

She's telling the truth. The Rider said as I sighed.

"I believe you." I said as sunset looked at me surprised. "Sorry I kinda lashed out at ya, I didn't know if your were the same person or not, it was kinda.... a out of defense."

"I understand." Sunset said smiling. "By the way, what is your name?"

"If I recall this Pinkie said something about throwing a party for me." I said as Sunset looked at me worried. "She was quite...terrifying."

"That would be Pinkie Pie." Sunset said groaning. "Every time there's a new student, she likes to through a party for them after school has ended."

"I see, you'll just have to find out then." I said as sunset began to leave. "Will Rainbow Dash be there?"

"Yeah, why?" Sunset asked as she stopped. "You know her?"

"Never mind, I'll see you later." I said as Sunset shrugged and walked away as I looked at my schedule to see what my classes were." Let's see here."

"Oh great." I said groaning." I have PE."

What's so bad about that? The Rider asked.

"It looks like I'll be seeing an old friend sooner then I thought." I said in a sad tone.

---P.E.---

"Alright, listen up." Spitfire said getting the students attention. "I know you've been working hard for the Friendship Games coming in a few months, but today we're doing something different." She said holding up a dodge ball. "Today, we're going to have fun." She said as the students cheered. "Rainbow Dash, Applejack, your team....." Spitfire was cut off as the door opened and I walked in. "May I help you?"

"I'm a new student." I said as I walked in. "I got lost."

"I see." Spitfire said as Rainbow Dash turned and gasped.

It couldn't be. Rainbow thought as she stared at me. Could it?

"What's your name?" Spitfire asked as I set by bag on the bleachers.

"Blizzard, Blizzard Wind." I said as Spitfire looked at me shocked. "Yes, you knew my mom, I already went over this is Principle Celestia."

"You'll have to wait a bit to get your gym uniform." Spitfire said shaking her head. "But your more then welcome to join in."

"Dodge ball?" I asked as Spitfire nodded." Count me in."

"Uh Dash, You're gonna catch flies." Applejack said walking over to Rainbow, as Rainbow closed her mouth. "You okay?"

"That's him." Rainbow whispered as Applejack looked at her confused. "That's Blizzard Wind."

"That guy you were looking for?" Applejack said as Rainbow nodded. "Well I'll be."

"As I was saying, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, your team captains." Spitfire said as they walked over to her. "Pick your teammates and we can get started, Applejack you're first."

"Derpy." Applejack said as Derpy ran up to her smiling.

"Fluttershy." Rainbow said as Fluttershy whimpered.

"Flash." Applejack said.

---A few minutes later---
"Pinkie." Applejack said as Pinkie bounced over to her, as I stood there next to a girl with charcoal colored hair, which I later discovered her name was Octavia.

"B-Blizzard." Rainbow said stammering as I approached her team.

"And Octavia, you got Applejacks' team." Spitfire said as Octavia walked to Applejack. "Alright Applejack's team on the left, Rainbow's team on the right."

"You're going down A.J." Rainbow said as Spitfire set the dodge balls on the center line.

"Just don't get distracted." Applejack said pointed towards me as I raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, I'm talking about you."

"You're asking for it." I said crossing my arms.

"Three, two, one, DODGEBALL!" Spitfire yelled as she blew her whistle, and a few of the students ran towards the balls and grabbed them as I walked towards the back." This will be fun to watch."

Left. The Rider said as I moved to the left as a dodgeball flew pasted me. Right.

"Not helping." I said as I ducked as another ball flew past me and hit Pinkie.

"DARN IT!" Pinkie yelled.

CATCH IT! The Rider yelled as I raised my hand and caught the ball just before it hit me.

"Flash, your out." Spitfire said as Flash walked towards the bleachers.

Aim for the crossed eyed one. The Rider said as Derpy struggled to get a ball. No?

"That would be mean." I said as I threw the ball at Applejack, who ducked.

"Watch it there, partner." Applejack said as I dodged another ball. "You're good, I'll admit that."

"I try." I said as Rainbow threw me a ball. "Thanks." I said as I threw it and accidentally hit Derpy. "Sorry
."
"It's fine." Derpy said skipping to the bleachers.

"HEADS UP!" Rainbow yelled as a ball hit me in the head." You okay?"

"I'm good." I said rubbing the side of my head." I'm watching you." I said pointing at Applejack as she laughed.

---Sometime later---

"It's just you and me AJ. "Rainbow said as Fluttershy sat down.

"Why does it always end like this?" Applejack said as she threw a ball.

"Always?" I asked as Derpy nodded.

"Um Blizzard right?" Fluttershy asked quietly as I nodded. "Are you the same Blizzard who lived in Ponyville Heights?"

"I am." I said as a ball rolled over to us and I kicked back. "And before you ask, yes I remember you Flutters."

"Really?" Fluttershy asked bit louder as the bell rang causing her to yelp.

"Still as timid as ever." I said chuckling. "It's nice to see you again."

"Good game AJ." Rainbow said smirking." If the bell didn't ring, I would've beaten you."

"As if." Applejack said as Spitfire blew her whistle.
"Hit the showers, and have a nice weekend." Spitfire said as students grabbed there belongs and went to the locker rooms." Hey Blizzard, hold on a minute."

"What's up?" I asked as Spitfire walked over to me.

"Sorry for what happened to your parents." Spitfire said sadly. "Your parents were good people."

"I know." I said sighing. "I miss them, a lot."

"I understand." Spitfire said as we left the gym." See you Monday."

"Yeah, sure." I said as I walked towards my locker. "Let's see if this combination works."

"Hey Blizzy." Rainbow said walking over to me. "Its been awhile."

"Six years if I recall." I said without turning around. "It's good to see you." I said as I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. "Missed me much?"

"It's really you." Rainbow said as she began to cry." When the police said that they couldn't find your....."

"Hey, hey, calm down." I said as Rainbow let go as she sniffled. "Listen, I'm sorry I disappeared like I did, but, that fire was set, so I had no choice, if whoever set that fire found out that I was still alive, they would come after me."

"I understand." Rainbow said as she hugged me again smiling. "It's so good to see you Blizzy."

"You too Dashie." I said as I hugged her back. "If I remember, Pinkie said something about a party?"

Where demon and spirit meet

After a fifteen minute walk to the cafeteria we finally reached our destination. "Why are the lights off?" I asked as we got to the door.

"I don't know, Pinkie is her own special character." Rainbow said with a smile as we pushed open the doors.

"HAPPYWELCOMETOCANTERLOTHIGHSCHOOLNEWSTUDENTFIRSTDAYPARTY!" Pinkie yelled as the lights turned on revealing mountains of food and drinks.

I would steer clear of the pink one, I think she's on something. The Rider said in a curious tone.

"Hey Pinkie, do you know where Crimson is?" Rainbow asked curiously.

"I think he's finishing up cleaning his room for the weekend, and Song is helping him." Pinkie said as she began doing cartwheels everywhere.

"Your brother works here?" I asked in a state of confusion.

"Yeah he's the robotics teacher." Rainbow responded.

"I have his class, it should be fun." I said in a monotone voice.

Do you think he still remembers you? The Rider asked.

"Probably." I responded.

"Hey sorry I'm late had to run to the car and get a change of clothes." Spitfire said as she walked in through the doors wearing a yellow hoodie with a pair of blue jeans. "Hey Rainbow I see you and Blizzard reunited."

"Haha... yeah." Rainbow said as she began blushing.

"Hey sorry we're late!" Green Song responded as she busted through the doors.

"She's a changeling isn't she Rider?" I thought to asked in my head

Yeah she is... Wait do you sense that? Rider replied.

What is that smell? it is mixed in with something I know, but can't remember. I thought as I eagerly looked at the door.

"Come on Dad everyone is waiting for us!" Green Song said happily as she started bouncing at the door.

"Sorry I'm late everyone I had to put up some equipment after todays experiment." A voice that sounded too familiar sounded from the hallway.

"Don't worry bro everything is cool." Rainbow said as she started smiling. I followed her gaze and saw who she was looking at. I couldn't believe my eyes it had been six years, but I still remembered his face. It was the face of someone I had looked up to as a big brother figure for the younger years of my life.

"Crimson?" I said as the figure with red and black hair came into sight.

"Blizzard, is that really you?" Crimson said as he stepped in the door and dropped his bag on the floor with a solid thud.

Watch out for him, he doesn't smell right. Rider commented as I could feel his mood become uneasy.

"Hey Crimson I didn't know you teach here." I said trying to block out what Rider said.

"Yeah, I teach robotics. I think I actually have you in my class." Crimson commented. I just nodded my head. "Want to come to the kitchen and get some drinks with me?" Crimson asked as he tried to get a chance to talk to me alone.

"Sure let's go." I said as we headed to the kitchen. As soon as we entered the kitchen he headed to the fridge to grab some ice and he started to walk back. Then he suddenly stopped in front of me.

"I'm sorry for what happened to your parents Blizzard, they were good people." Crimson said as he looked down at his feet.

"Don't worry about it, you're not to blame. It wasn't your fault." I said as I remembered he worked with my parents.

"It wasn't my fault, but I am partially to blame. I could've stopped it but I did nothing." He said as his fists started to clench and turn white.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I started growing curious.

"I can't tell you now, but let's just say I know the guy who brought the Changelings to the city." Crimson said in a monotone voice.

"WHAT?!" I yelled as I ran up and grabbed him by the neck as my hand started to burn and turn skeletal.

"So you do have something inside you. I thought I smelled something off." Crimson said with his eyes closed.

"What are you getting at? Why aren't you telling me the truth." I said as I felt the rage build up and my eyes turn black.

"I have my reasons." He said with a smile on his face.

"You have the blood of thousands on your hands care to explain before I burn you to ash?" Rider said as he partially took over.

"You can never understand, let's just say you aren't the only one with something demonic inside you." Crimson commented as he opened his eyes which appeared normal. Then they started to change color.

"What are you doing?" I yelled.

"Don't worry little boy you wouldn't understand." He said as his eyes finally stopped changing color. Now they were completely different; they went from a dark blue to black and red.

"What the hell are you?" I said as I took control and the Rider disappeared.

"You're one to talk. Now let me make myself clear, you better not hurt anyone close to me or so help me Celestia I will end your life." He said with a smile as he broke my grasp and his eyes returned to normal.

"Crimson, Blizzard are you two okay?" Rainbow called from the cafeteria.

"Yeah we're fine, coming." I yelled back in response. "Well we better not keep them waiting. Now let's go and not a word of our little argument." He said as he looked me dead in the eyes.

"Fine." I said as I started to get an uneasy feeling in my gut.

Unwanted attention

What is he? I thought to myself as I grabbed a drink. Does have a devil inside him too?

HA GAAAAY! The Rider yelled cackling as I rolled my eyes. Admit it, that was funny.

"Just kill me now." I said quietly.

"You okay?" Said an unexpected voice causing me to jump, almost spilling my drink. "Sorry, I'm Green Song."

"Nice to meet you." I said as I turned to the girl. "You're a Changeling?"

"Only half, the other half of me is human." Green song said smiling. "So your Rainbow Dash's supposedly dead friend?"

"Surprise." I said making a goofy look causing her to laugh. "I'd rather not talk about it actually."

"Okay then." Song said as she grabbed a cupcake. "So what do you think of the party?"

"It's fun, I'll say that." I said as Pinkie bounced by on a balloon. "Is she on something?"

"That's just Pinkie being Pinkie." Song said as she shrugged. "You'll get used to it."

No I f*cking won't. The rider said with a hint of fear.

"From what I've seen in my travels, nothing on earth could prepare me for......that." I said, as Pinkie pulled out a cannon out of her hair. "What the actual Fu..."

"LANGUAGE!" Crimson shouted from across the gym as the students stared at him. "Sorry...it just slipped out."

"Okay then." I said as I walked towards the other side of gym, as Green Song followed me. "So, you related to anyone?"

"I was adopted by Crimson." Green Song said as I looked at her surprised. "You didn't know?"

"I wasn't here, remember?" I said as I leaned up against a wall.

"You mentioned travels, where did you travel to?" Green Song asked as I sipped my drink.

"All over the planet, England, France, China, you name it, I've most likely been there." I said shrugging. "But for a good while I lived in New York."

"Why did you leave?" She asked curiously.

"They don't have insurance for superhero damage." I said as Green Song snickered. "Also, Loki's invasion."

"You were in the city when that happened?" Green Song asked surprised. "What was it like?"

"I was actually just outside the city when it happened." I said as Rainbow Dash walked over to us. "Hey Rainbow."

"Hey Blizzard." Rainbow said as Green Song walked off. "So, having fun?"

"In a way." I said as Rainbow looked at me confused. "That friend of yours, Pinkie Pie, is quite terrifying."

"That's just..." She started

"Pinkie being Pinkie." I said cutting her off. "Green Song explained it to me already, sorry for cutting you off by the way."

"It's alright, also I wanted to know if you wanted to come hangout with me and my friends tonight?" Rainbow asked as I raised an eyebrow at her. "We're having a sleepover."

"Depends." I said taking another sip.

"On what?" She asked with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Whether I have something to do tonight or not." I said as I through my cup in the trash. Rider?

I can hold off for a little bit. The Rider said. Plus I think there's a Shield agent here.

"On second thought, I will come." I said as Rainbow smiled. "Maybe I can tell you about my adventures?"

"My friends would love to her them." Rainbow said as someone called her over. "Talk to you later."

So that's your old friend? Rider said as I went to grabbed some food. But, we still have a problem, three very big problems.

I know. I thought looking around. There is a Shield agent here, also there was that strange encounter with Crimson...Wait, three?

I may have knocked out someone in the hospital. Rider said as I groaned. He stood in my way, what was I supposed to do?

He didn't see me, did he? I asked as The rider remained silent. Oh crap.

---Crimson---

"I can't believe Blizzards alive." Spitfire said as Crimson stared at something. "You okay?"

"Huh..what?" Crimson said as Spitfire laughed. "You say something?"

"I'm just saying it's good to see Blizzard alive." Spitfire said as Crimson nodded. "What's wrong?"

"It's about Blizzard." Crimson said as he watched me." There's something different about him."

"We haven't seen him in six years, so of course he's different." Spitfire replied.

"Not that, I mean, when I spoke to him, he felt...off." Crimson said as Spitfire gave him a worried look. "But I can't place it, It felt like when I fought Chrysalis."

"You don't think he's an inhuman, do you?" Spitfire asked Crimson who looked at her confused. "Inhumans are a race of super humans, which were results of ancient humans being experimented on by an Alien race called the Kree."

"Or he could be a mutant." Crimson said as Spitfire rolled her eyes. "Either way, something's off about him."

"I'll call Director Fury, just to be safe." Spitfire said as her phone rang. "Speaking of which." She said as she answered her phone. "I was just about to call you...Yeah why?...Are you sure?...We have Robbie, Heck it could even be Johnny Blaze...uh huh...I'll let him know...Is it necessary to send them in, I mean you could send in Spidey and his team to......Well that's a problem, Just tell them where I live and I'll give them the mission."

"What's up?" Crimson asked as Spitfire hung up.

"Another Ghost Rider's been spotted." Spitfire said putting her phone away. "And this one has a bike, but it's not Johnny."

"Fury sending anyone?" Crimson asked as Spitfire sighed. "The Avengers?"

"Minus the Hulk this time." Spitfire said. "This new Rider took down The Hulk when It tried to leave the city."

"Where is it now?" Crimson asked.

"Last it was spotted, it was heading this way." Spitfire said as students began to leave. "I need to get home, They'll arrive soon."

"Thanks for the heads up." Crimson said smiling." Gives us time to make sure Green Song doesn't fan girl when they show up."

---Blizzard---

You going to let Torch know? The Rider asked as I left the gym.

I'll call him in a minute. I said as students went to their lockers to grab their things for the weekend. You sure you can go for a night without hunting?

I'm fine. The Rider grumbled. Don't make me change my mind.

Okay then. I said as the lights flickered." Bad lighting." I said as a few of lights down the hall popped causing of a few of the students to yelp as I felt a cold sensation cover my body." Oh no."

---???---
After the lights popped a figure walked towards the school with a grey hair from old age, wearing a black trench coat holding a cane with a skull on it, he stopped just across the street as he watched students leave the school, he spotted a student wearing a black hoodie that had a image of a red devil, with the word, 'Devil Party', this caused the figure to smile as he walked towards the student.

"You lost mister?" The student asked as the man walked up to him.

"I'm looking for someone, his name is Blizzard Wind." The man asked.

"The new kid?" The Student asked as the man nodded." He should be inside."

"Much obliged." The man said smiling again." Also, nice jacket."

"Oh thanks man." The student said as the man chuckled." I got it from my favorite bands concert."

"Far out." The man said as he walked towards the school.

Let's make a deal

Clear The rider said as I peeked around a corner. Why would the devil be here?

"I don't know." I said with a worried tone as I ducked behind another corner." Let just hope he's not...."

"Hello Blizzard." A voice said creepily.

"Speak of the Devil." I said as I turned around.

"And he shall appear." The Devil said with a smirk." Been awhile, hasn't it?"

"Can it buddy." I said as my eyes flashed orange." I want nothing to do with you."

"You have no choice in this matter unfortunatly." The Devil said as I rolled my eyes." I need your help."

"Come again." I said confused." You...need my help?" I asked as The Devil nodded." Black heart back?"

"No, one of my followers, Quan Chi has decided to betray me." The Devil said as I stared." And he sending fighters to earth to wipe out the heroes."

"Since when is that your concern?" I asked crossing my arms." You despise the heroes as well."

"Quan Chi is a being with powers that rival mine, and he sending powerful fighters, two at least." The Devil said pulling out a scroll." So, let's make a deal, You help take care of these fighters, and you'll get your soul back."

Don't do it. The Rider said concerned as I grabbed the scroll. It could be a trap.

"What say you?" The Devil asked as I opened the scroll." Do we have a deal?"

"No." I said handing him back the scroll, much to his disappointment." I'll take care of these fighters, but I'm not signing no damn contract." I said with a hint of anger in my voice." But I'm not doing it alone."

"Very well." The Devil said stuffing the scroll in his jacket." After this blows over, I'll see you as an enemy."

"Maybe the man upstairs will give me a second chance then." I said as The Devil growled in anger before disappearing." Rider?"

Dude, You just blew of the devil himself. The Rider said as I sighed. So, what's the plan?

"I need to find Crimson." I said as I walked towards the exit." Maybe he can help."

That's not our biggest worry at the moment. The Rider said as I stopped. I think I may know who one of the fighters is going to be.

---Pie Rock Querry---

"Come on Marble we have to get the rest of the load before the sun sets." Limestone said as she lifted a crate of rocks." We have to get these rocks out by Sunday."

"I know." Marble said as she picking up a shovel." Where's Maud at by the way?"

"She's waiting for us." Limestone said as she the crate of rocks on the back of a truck." This has probably been the biggest order we have ever gotten."

"Agreed." Marble said as she set the shovel down." I wonder how Pinkies doing?"

"Fine like..."She was cut off has as a portal opened a few yards in front of them." Marble get in the truck." She said as Marble got in the truck and locked the door." Call Maud and tell her what going on."

"Sure thing." Marble said as she picked up a walkie talkie." Maud, we have a little situation down here."

"You call this little?" Limestone said annoyed as Marble shrugged as the portal got bigger.

"You two okay?" Maud's voice said from the radio." Are your hurt?"

"We're fine." Marble said shaking." But something weird happened."

"What do you mean?" Maud asked concerned.

"Give me that."Limestone said as Marie handed her the Radio." Maud, some kind of portal opened up down here."

"Portal?" Maud asked confused.

"Yeah, it just appeared and...Hold on." Limestone said as a shadowy figure appeared in the portal." Something coming out of it."

"I'm on my way down there." Maud said worried." Get somewhere safe."

"Sure thing." Limestone said as the figure stepped out of the portal." Who is this?" She said as she looked at the figure who was wearing black and yellow armor." Hey mister, sorry but I'm afraid your going to have to leave, this is private property." She said as the figured stared at her.

"Limestone!!" Marble whispered to her sister in fear." Get in the truck."

"Are you deaf?" Limestone said as the figure continued to stare." I'm going to ask you to...AAAHH!!!" Limestone was caught as she screamed in pain as the figure threw a dagger at her and hit her shoulder.

"You are very foolish to use that kind of tone with me." The figure spoke as he approached Limestone as she kneeled down grasping her shoulder." You are young, so I will show you mercy." The figure spoke as he kicked Limestone in the side.

"W-who are you?" Limestone said in pain as The figure crouched down and pulled the dagger out of her shoulder causing her to scream in pain again.

"I am Scorpion, Specter of the Nether Realm." Scorpion said as he sheathed the dagger.

"Hell." Marble whimper out as she watched from the truck as Scorpion lifted his hand up." LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!" Marble shouted as she got out of the truck, as Scorpion stared at her." Please?"

"You're just as foolish as she is." Scorpion said as set of lights approached them." Perhaps a punishment is order."

"Look, just let us go." Marble said in fear as a chain appeared in Scorpion's hand." We won't bother you again."

"I know you won't." Scorpion said as the chain extended." Because there won't be any again." He said as a gunshot was heard, followed by Scorpion grunting in pain as a bullet hit him." WHO DARES?!?!?!"

"Marble help your sister." Maud said as she aimed a rifle at Scorpion." NOW!!!" Maud yelled as Marble helped Limestone up and brought her over to Maud's truck." Listen, I don't know who you are and where you came from, but threatening and hurting my sisters is unforgivable in my book."

"Protecting your family, that is very honorable." Scorpion said facing Maud chuckling." Like I told your sister, I'll show mercy, So, get out of here."

"MAUD LET'S GO!!!!" Marble yelled as Maud back towards truck, keeping her gun aimed at Scorpion." Please hurry."

"I'm watching you." Maud said as she got in the truck and drove towards the exit of the quarry.

"Now to find my opponent." Scorpion said as he started walking.

---Rich estate---

"Thanks for inviting me over Diamond." Sliver Spoon told her friend as they entered The Diamond estate.

"Anything for a friend." Diamond said as a butler stood by the door and took there coats." But first dad told me we're not allowed to go in the woods this time."

"How come?" Silver asked sadly." I liked going to the lake in there."

"Dad said some guards found some bones in the woods that belonged to a person." Diamond said as Sliver gave her a scared look." But he said not to worry, the killer was killed a long time ago when the camp was there."

"Camp?" Silver asked.

"Yeah, The camp was called..." Diamond said as she tapped her chin." Camp Crystal lake I think."

"Wait, THE Camp Crystal Lake?" Sliver asked with excitement." I heard about that camp, It was believed that a Serial killer lived there."

"What was their name?" Diamond asked as they sat on the couch.

"Jason Voorhees." Sliver said before giving diamond a scared look." Wait, you said that the killer was killed right?"

"Yeah, why?" Diamond said concerned.

"Jason can't be killed." Silver said as they heard a scream and Diamonds mother running in.

"Charles, Call the police." Diamond's mother said with fear." I just witnessed something horrible."

"What Should I tell them?" Charles asked as he picked up the phone.

"There was a murder." Spoiled said as she sat down." I went to talk to the head guard about if the police arrived to investigate, but when I found him, he was being stabbed by this man wearing a hockey mask."

"Mrs. Rich, I say we should leave." Sliver said with fear." Diamond told me about how this mansion was built on and old camp, She also told me about how a murderer was killed as well."

"That is true." Spoiled said shaking." W-What are you getting at?"

"The killer name we Jason Voorhees." Silver said as Spoiled had a worried look." And when you think you've stopped him, he always comes back."

"So, That man I saw...was the killer?" Spoiled asked as silver nodded." How do you know all this?"

"Because my mom went to the camp when she was young." Silver said with worry." She barely made it out alive." She said as a crash was heard." He's here."

Ch ch ch ch ah ah ah ah

"Come on children." Spoiled said as she grabbed her coat and keys." I say we leave." She said as a scream was heard was quickly cut off as a head rolled out of a room and a shadow appeared in the doorway." Right now!"

A not so happy camper

---Crimson Beat household---

"I wonder where Dad is?" Green Song asked herself as she watched TV, as someone knocked on the door. "Who's that?"

"I'll get it." Spitfire said as she answered the door. "Oh, Director Fury, What a surprise!" She said as she held the door open. "Come in."

"Thank you." Fury said as Green Song peeked out of the Living room. "Your husband here?"

"No, He's...Busy." Spitfire said as Fury gave her a skeptical look. "I don't know what he's up to, Where's the gang?"

"Sightseeing." Fury said as Green Song approached them. "Before we got here, we picked up a strange energy signal. So Tony and Thor went to check it out."

"Let's just hope they don't run into Crimson." Spitfire said with a hint of worry. "Where are the others?"

"Outside." Fury said. "Let's get down to business, what is this problem you mentioned?"

"Hey honey, Can you step outside?" Spitfire asked as Green Song nodded and made her way outside, followed by a squeal of delight.
"That should keep her busy, Someone showed up today, someone from our past."

"Who?" Fury said noticing the worry. "Does this connect to the problem you mentioned?"

”Maybe, Tropical and Northwest's son is back." Spitfire said as Fury gave her a strange expression. "Don't give me that look, I saw him with my own eyes." She said as she pulled out her phone. "Here's a picture." She said showing him her phone.

"Well I'll be a monkeys uncle." Fury said as examined the picture. "That is him."

"Crimson told me he confronted him." Spitfire said, as she put the phone back her in her pocket. "But he seemed off, almost...Inhuman."

"Wouldn't be surprised." Fury said as Spitfire raised an eyebrow. "His father was Inhuman, He worked with Agent Coulson for sometime before leaving."

"Northwest was an inhuman, What could he do?" Spitfire asked as Fury sighed.

"He could control fire." Fury said as Spitfire gasped. "On that night when they died, Northwest was involved, but it was an accident."

"But you told me Chrysalis was involved." Spitfire said as Fury nodded. "She killed him?"

"Before Crimson left, him and Northwest were part of a task force." Fury said as he walked towards the kitchen. "They were trained to stop Changelings."

"What happened?" Spitfire questioned as she followed him.

"The Avengers happened." Fury said as he sat down. "They recruited Crimson, but he did something and they kicked him out, Northwest joined up with Coulson."

"Crimson never mentioned that." Spitfire said as she sat down across from Fury. "Why'd he leave?"

"He said it was for family." Fury said as he leaned back. "So, you think Blizzard is an inhuman as well?"

"Possibly." Spitfire said with a shrug.

---Blizzard---

"Having fun?" Pinkie asked as I watched Rainbow and Applejack play a game. "Blizzy?"

"Don't call me that." I said slightly annoyed. "And yes, I am."

"GREAT!" Pinkie shouted as I winced and covered my ears. "Sorry."

"It's fine." I said as I uncovered my ears. "So, When's the pizza getting here?"

"Soon." Pinkie said then looking at the clock. "Hey Rarity, can I use your phone?"

"Go right ahead." Rarity sound as Pinkie walked out of her room."I hope she's okay."

"What are you talking about?" Sunset asked as I crossed my arms and laid back on the bed. "She seems fine to me."

"She's more mellow tonight." Rarity said as Sunset gave her a worried look. "She's upset about something."

"Thanks for letting me use your phone." Pinkie said as she came back. "Just had to check on something."

"Everything okay Pinkie?" Rarity asked as Pinkie nodded.

"I know you're lying Pinkie." Applejack said as she looked at Pinkie as Rainbow paused the game. "What's up?"

"My sister Limestone is in the hospital." Pinkie said as her hair deflated. "She was attacked."

"Is she alright?" Fluttershy asked as I sat up quickly.

"She's hurt, bad." Pinkie continued. "Marble told me that they were in the mine, when some strange portal opened up and a guy stepped out of it."

"What was his name?" I asked as everyone stared at me. "What?"

"He called himself the spectre of the netherealm." Pinkie said fearfully. "And that his named was Scorpion."

Oh shit, That's not good. The Rider said.

"All kinds of weird things have been happening all over the city." Applejack said twirling her controller. "Just today, my sister mentioned, that Diamond Tiara told her about some killings happening over at the Riches estate."

"I saw that on the news before I got here." Rainbow said as she laid back. "What's was the guys name again, Jason something."

"Jason Voorhees." Applejack said as I looked at her surprised. "You okay Blizzard?"

"Yeah, it's just I remember my dad telling me stories about Jason." I said as I felt myself warm up. "I thought Jason stayed at Crystal lake?"

"Where do you think the murders happened?" Rainbow said as Fluttershy whimpered.

We need to stop them. The Rider said as my phone buzzed.

It's from Torch. I thought to myself said as I looked at the text. "Sorry guys, but I have to go."

"So soon?" Rainbow asked disappointed. "I was hoping I could beat you at Black Ops."

"Another time perhaps." I said as I put my jacket on. "But I'm needed."

"See you tomorrow then?" Rainbow asked as I nodded and left.

---Torch's household---

"Hey, Torch, I'm back." I said as I entered the house and spotted Ember. "Where's your dad?"

"Upstairs in his office." Ember said pointing up the stairs. "Two doors on the left."

"Thanks." I said as I ran up the stairs. "Torch, we have a problem."

"Ah Blizzard, I wasn't expecting you back so soon." Torch said with a nervous tone. "Now, what is this problem?"

"I think you know." I said as Torch gulped." Do the names Scorpion and Jason Voorhees ring a bell?"

"Yes, unfortunately." Torch said as I leaned on a chair. "You overheard this from somewhere?"

"Friends house." I said bluntly." Don't worry, I'll deal with them."

"I suggest that you don't go alone." Torch said as he sat in his chair. "These two characters are very unpredictable."

"I'm never alone." I said chuckling." I've got Rider."

Baby you know it. Rider replied.

"This is no laughing matter." Torch said with a stern tone. "I've called in an old friend of your father, He's fought Chrysalis many times,
and defeated the monster Tirek, when he tried to take over."

"Who's the tough guy?" I asked as I heard dark chuckling behind me.

"Been a while, hasn't it Ghost boy?" A voice said as it turned around to see Crimson standing there as his eyes began changing to that evil black and red. "I hear you have a not so happy camper problem."

Past mistakes

"Crimson." I said as Crimson smirked." New look?"

"You can discuss this later." Torch said as I glanced at him." But there's a threat that should be taken care of first."

"Agreed." Crimson said as he turned back to normal." Any ideas on where to start?"

"Simple, I'll check the quarry, you deal with the camp." I said as I began to walk out as Crimson stepped in front of me." Bad move buddy."

"Keep your friend in check." Torch said as I warmed up." May I ask what this is about?"

"Instincts." Me and Crimson said in unison.

"I'm a spirit, he's a demon." I said as I pointed to Crimson." And I've killed plenty of those."

"You mean 'The Rider'." Crimson said as I scoffed.

"Who do you think is talking right now." I said as my eyes filled with orange." Now, I suggest you get out of my way, or some girl is going to be.....NO!!!!" I shouted unexpectly as my eyes turned back to normal." Not okay."

"What just happened?" Crimson asked as I rubbed my head." What were you going to say?"

"I...wasn't saying anything."I said worried as I felt myself cool down." That was all Rider."

"We'll deal with this later." Crimson said as he opened the door." You need to show your companion who's boss. Now Let's get looking."

---Canterlot city---

"So, Ghost Rider?" Crimson asked as I nodded as we walked down the street." Mind filling me in?"

"Made a deal so I could cure my mother from cancer." I said bluntly." Didn't turn out so well in my part."

"Okay then." Crimson said as a car zoomed past us." Why did you make such a idiotic mistake?"

"For your information, I was young and reckless." I said as I turned down an ally as Crimson followed." My mom was dying, and I thought I could save her, anymore questions?"

"Last one." Crimson said as I groaned." Has the Rider hurt any innocent people?"

"I dunno." I said shrugging as Crimson gave me a confused look." The Rider is a whole other person, I don't ever know what he does when he's out sometimes."

"Sometimes?" He said questioningly.

"There's times when I'm in control, but that's on rare occasions." I said as I stuffed my hands into my pockets.

"I'll tell you this only once." Crimson said as I faced him." If you hurt my family in anyway, I'll hunt you down and....."

"And kill me?" I said as Crimson gestated at me." Been there, done that, how'd you think I became the Rider in the first place?"

"Must've been painful." Crimson said as I sighed." Getting annoyed yet?"

"You're asking for it." I said through clenched teeth as I balled my hand into a fist." Unless you want the Rider out, I suggest you stop."

"No promises." Crimson said as we left the ally." Where we heading anyway?"

"My bike." I said as we stopped." I'm going after Scorpion, you'll go after Jason."

"Torch said we should work together." Crimson said as he put a hand on my shoulder.

"I suggest you remove your hand." I said glaring at Crimson." It isn't wise to put your hands on something hot."

"Whatever you say." Crimson said as he removed his hand." But still, what kind of idiot were you when made the deal?"

"DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT!?!?!?!?" I yelled as Crimson flinched at my tone." I know I made a mistake, but I was young and didn't want my mother to die, instead I lost both my parents and my own life, only to be resurrected as an monster who feast on the souls of the guilty, YES, I KNOW I MADE A MISTAKE, AND I'VE BEEN LIVING WITH THAT F@CKING MISTAKE FOR THE PAST F@CKING SIX YEARS!!!!!"

"Geez." Crimson muttered as I breathed heavily." I guess I touched a nerve."

"You have no idea." The Rider said as I transformed and The Rider stretched." Now as Blizzard said, you find Jason, and I'll find Scorpion."

"Reason?" Crimson asked as the bike drove up behind the Rider.

"Me and Scorpion have a.....history." The Rider said as he got on the bike as people backed away." Let's have some fun."

---Midnight, Rainbow---

"I wonder why Blizzard left?" Rainbow asked herself as her and her friends watched a horror movie.

"I'm sure he had his reasons." Rarity said as she leaned back." How long have you known?"

"He's been a friend to me and Fluttershy for a long time." Rainbow said as the group looked at her." We met at Cloudsdale elementary, he was really quiet most of the time, and spoke very little, but as the years went by we became good friends."

"It's true." Fluttershy said as she peeked out from under the blanket, due from being scared by the movie."I was shy around him at first,
but he was really nice and understood how shy I was, but I really want to know is, how did he survive that fire and why did he leave?"

"What if you read his journal?" Pinkie blurted out as Rainbow gave her a confused look." He left his bag behind."

"No way I'm doing that." Rainbow said as Pinkie pouted." That's his, and I don't want invade his privacy."

"Come on Rainbow." Pinkie said as she opened the bag and pulled out a journal." ~I know you want to~" she said with a sing song tone.

"I am a little curious." Rainbow said as she grabbed the book." But....no." Rainbow said as she tossed the book next to fluttershy as it flipped open." It's wrong." She said as Flutterhy yelped in fear." What's wrong?"

"T-That." Fluttershy said in fear as she pointed at the journal as it laid opened.

"What are you....Whoa." Applejack said as she picked up the journal and stared in awe." That's creepy."

"Guys, you shouldn't be looking at that." Rainbow said as she tried to grab the journal." What's so fascinating anyway?" Se asked as Applejack showed her a drawing." I didn't know he could draw, Did you Flutters?"

"N-No." Fluttershy said quietly as Rainbow stared at the picture." It looks just like the Ghost Rider."

"I knew he could play the guitar, but this is amazing." Rainbow said as she closed the journal." But seriously we should put this back."

"Aren't you just a little curious about where he's been for the past few years?" Rarity asked as Sunset glared at her." What?"

"Rainbow's right." Sunset said as Rainbow smiled." We shouldn't be reading this, we could break his trust that he has."

"Fiiine." Pinkie said groaning as Rainbow went to but the book." But one quick peek."

"PINKIE NO!!!" Rainbow shouted as Pinkie grabbed the book and opened it and began scanning a page." Darn it Pinkie." She said angrily as Pinkie eyes filled with fear." Pinkie?"

"Why did I read this?" Pinkie said quietly as she closed the book as her friends gave her worried looks." Rainbow, I know why he left."

"What do you mean?" Rainbow asked as Pinkie handed her the book.

Why did I make the deal, it was the worst mistake I made, I didn't want mom to die, but I ended up losing both my parents, he said if I signed the contract she would be healed, but I had to sign it in blood, I was hesitant at first, but he told me everything would be okay, so, I signed the contract, and as he promised, mom was healed..

"He signed a contract so his mom could be healed?" Applejack asked as Sunset shushed her." My bad."

Mom came home that evening telling us that she no longer had cancer, I was happy that the man healed her, dad was the happiest I've seen him in a long time, that night we cooked dinner and played games, What I thought was going to be the happiest moment, took a turn for the worse, It was about midnight when I woke up to a loud banging on my door, followed by muffled yelling, I got to open the door, only for mom to open it and tell me to run, as I grabbed some clothes I heard her scream followed by a bang and a thud, I hid under my bed just before my door opened and a changling walked in and look around.

He left a few minutes later and spoke to another changeling that the room was empty, after they had gone away, I came out of my room and saw my mom laying in a pool of blood, I've never felt so scared, I walked past her and slowly approached the stairs and peeked down and heard talking as i quietly walked down the stairs and peeked into the living room, I saw my dad tied to a chair and five changelings surrounding him, two holding strange weapons and two others standing over my dad as the fifth one, which I noticed was a woman, grabbed him by the neck and brought him close to her face, and yelled at him saying how it was time to pay the price for slaughtering her people, I wanted to do something, but I don't know how, I felt like crying but I didn't want them to find me, I noticed my dad look right at the woman and say that he would rather die then tell her anything, the woman then pulled out a gun and shot him, she then said something about torching the place....

"Skip ahead a little bit." Fluttershy said as Rainbow turned the page.

It was five years ago but I still remember the day after the fire, the realization of the mistake I made, I remember waking up and seeing the sun, also the man I made a deal with, he told me that I belonged to him now and that he'll come to me when he needs me, I didn't understand what he meant, but he mentioned I had died and he brought me back, he helped me up and lead me away from what was left of my home, I asked him what his name was, and he told me that his name was........Lucifer, Like I said, that was five years ago, now whoever is reading this, this is my last entry, so I'll be blunt, I'm the guy who made a deal with the devil. Now I know what your thinking, does this kid ever watch movies, does this ever work out fine? Well, let's just say good judgement wasn't exactly my forte. I was possessed by an ancient demon, in the presence of evil, I change into a monster, and I prey on the wicked, and I suck out their souls. And you don't want to be around when that happens, see there's good and bad in all of us, and maybe you're not a murderer, but you did something that you didn't want the Rider to see, a white lie, and illegal download, what about you? I've tried to fight it, to hold it back, but the darkness inside me only get's stronger. That's why I had to run, halfway across the world, and I'm still running. My name is Blizzard wind, and I'm the Ghost Rider.

"..." Rainbow was silent as she dropped the book." Impossible."

"Wait, Blizzard's the Ghost Rider?" Fluttershy asked as Rainbow stared down at the floor with shook in her eyes." That's why he left?"

"I can understand why?" Sunset said as she picked up the book and put back in the bag."You okay Rainbow?"

"I-I don't know." Rainbow said as she rested her head in her hands." I'm friends with The Ghost Rider."

"That's something you don't hear everyday." Rarity said as she sat next to Rainbow." I say we talk to him about it tommorrow."

"But he'll know we went through his stuff." Rainbow said as Fluttershy got out of the bed and looked out the window." I feel like I betrayed him."

"You're his friend." Sunset said as Rainbow sighed sadly." You have the right to know."

"I know, but....." She was cut off as a laughter filled the air and Fluttershy screaming and the sound of a motorcycle." Fluttershy, what happened?" Rainbow asked as Flutterhsy whimpered as Rainbow looked out the window as The Ghost Rider drove by." How about we ask Blizzard right now?"

------ 2:37 A.M./ Crimson Beat---------

A car with his high beams on passed by me as I looked in my rear view mirror only to see one of my eyes and one of his.

"Why are you so down Crimson?" Grimstone asked me.

"It's not like you to worry about me Grimstone when we first met you despised talking to me period." I said in a joking response.

"That may be true, but you showed me that everyone can be accepted by those they consider their friends." He responded.

"That's true." I admitted.

" So what's eating you pal it's raining terribly inside your mind." Grimstone added.

"I just feel terrible for what happened to Blizzard. He looked up to me like an older brother and I accepted him as a younger brother." I said as I pulled off onto a country back road.

"Wait, did this stuff happen before you accepted me?" Grimstone asked.

"Yeah you see his dad ,Northwest, and I were on a mission to infiltrate the changeling H.Q., find Chrysalis and either kill her on the spot or take her hostage. Well it didn't go so well and we got captured. There were three others with us they were just rookies fresh from S.H.E.I.L.D. academy so they were of course nervous and excited. However, they were killed right in front of Northwest and I. You know the rest." I said as I looked down the hood of my '97 Cadillac Seville.

"You were tortured almost to death and then you accepted me and found Song in the dungeons malnourished, beaten and broken. Correct?" He answered.

"Yeah she of course was a bit scared because no one showed her any kindness or love so I couldn't leave her. She punched and kicked me multiple times, but I was finally able to wrap her in my leather jacket and she stopped fighting me period. We then left S.H.E.I.L.D. even though Northwest's wife Tropical Wind was still working there. Then all hell broke loose." I said as I gripped the wheel even tighter causing my knuckles to go white.

"Just because he doesn't seem like he thinks of you as a big brother doesn't mean he doesn't still consider you one." Grimstone said trying to cheer me up.

"Good point buddy. Thanks again for helping me with everything. If you hadn't showed up before then the whole city would've been taken over by Tirek and Spitfire would be dead. Then if it wasn't for you saving me again then I would still be Chrysalis's plaything. I wonder if it would've been better that way.." I said as I started feeling depressed.

"If I didn't do anything then you wouldn't have gotten with the love of your life, you'd be a cruel b$tch's pet, your sister and her friends would miss you, you wouldn't have met your beautiful daughter Green Song, and Blizzard would've lost his older brother." Grimstone said in an agitated tone.

"You're right thanks for the pep talk Grimstone I appreciate it." I said as I felt my sadness evaporate into nothingness.

" No problem man now if you'll excuse me I'm going to leave you alone and let you drive, goodnight." Grimstone said through a yawn as my other eye returned to normal.

Spirit vs specter

"Come on." Rainbow said as she grabbed her jacket as she ran out the door." Who's driving?"

"I will." Applejack said as she ran towards her truck." Let's hope we keep up."

"Same here." Rainbow said as she hopped in the passenger seat and the rest got in the back." If we follow the fire trail we should be able to follow him."

---Scorpion---

"Where is the vengeance?" Scorpion asked as he approached a person backed into a corner." I am running out of patience."

"I'm afraid I-I Don't know who you are referring too." The man said as Scorpion growled in anger." Now if you'll just let me go.."

"Does the name Ghost Rider ring any bells?" Scorpion asked in a menacing tone as the man nodded." Where did you last see him?"

"I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person." The man said as he chuckled nervously." Try asking someone else?"

"Very well." Scorpion said as the man sighed with relief." What is your name?"

"Discord." The man said as he slowly walked around Scorpion." Good luck with your....hunting?"

"You have five seconds to leave." Scorpion said as Discord ran away." How hard it can it be to fight a spirit with a flaming skull?" He commented as he looked around." WHERE ARE YOU SPIRIT?!?!?" Scorpian yelled at the sky.

"Right. Here." A voice said as Scorpian turned around to see the Rider leaning on his bike." Been awhile hasn't it, Scorpion?"

"Indeed it has." Scorpion said as he raised his hand and a spike connected to a chain came out of it." Last I remember, you were a cowboy."

"New host." The Rider said as he grabbed his chain." Enough talk, it's time to send you back to hell."

"I'd like to see you try." Scorpion said as he swung his chain at him." GET OVER HERE!!!!"

---Rainbooms---

"He has to be here somewhere?" Rainbow said as she stuck her head out the window as the fire trail disappeared." COME ON!!!"

"How are we going to find him now?" Pinkie asked as she stuck her head through the back window." Hey, It's Mr. Discord."

"What he doing out so late?" Fluttershy asked as Discord ran down the street." Mr. Discord?"

"Who? What?" Discord asked as she stopped and looked around." Oh. fluttershy, it's good to see a friendly face." He said as he sighed with relief." You won't believe the night I had, speaking of which, what are you doing out so late?"

"We're looking for a friend of ours." Rainbow said as she got of the truck." His name's Blizzard."

"Oh the new kid?" Discord asked as the group nodded." Sorry, haven't seen him, but I did meet someone quiet odd."

"Who?" Fluttershy asked as Discord leaned on the truck.

"He called himself Scorpion." Discord said as Pinkie gasped." He corned me in an alley and asked me if I've seen Ghost Rider."

"Did he wear yellow and black armor?" Pinkie asked as Discord nodded." That's the same guy who put my sister Limestone in the hospital."

"Why is he looking for the Rider?" Rainbow asked as Discord shrugged." Well, the Rider shouldn't be too far behind then, You need a lift?"

"I'll be fine." Discord said as he pointed down the street." My home isn't too far."

"You sure?" Fluttershy asked as Discord smiled.

"I'll be fine." Discord said as a bright light shone behind some buildings." What is that?"

"GET OVER HERE!!!!" A voice shouted followed by a roar.

"I think we found the Rider." Rarity said nervously as Discord ran off.

---Ghost Rider---

"GET OVER HERE!!!!" Scorpion shouted as he threw his chain at Rider as the Rider jumped out of the way." I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

"So have I." The Rider said as he charged Scorpion and knocked him into a wall." This time, you'll stay in hell."

"Highly unlikely." Scorpion said as he punched the Rider and kicked him back." I thought you we stronger then this?"

"Oh I am." The Rider said as he threw a fireball at Scorpion, hitting him in the chest and lunged at him, as Scorpion grabbed him and slammed him into the ground.

"I've been training for years for this moment." Scorpion said as he picked up the Rider by the neck and held him up as the Rider started smoking." I'll be the first being to actually kill a Ghost Rider."

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!" A voice shouted as Scorpion dropped Rider." Please."

"Rainbow Dash?" The Rider whispered as Scorpion placed his foot on the Rider, forcing him to lay on the ground." RUN!!!!" The Rider roared as Scorpion chuckled.

"She must be close to you Rider." Scorpion said as he removed his foot."What is her name?"

"I'm afraid you're wrong." The Rider said as he propped himself up with one arm." I don't know who she is."

"Then you won't mind me hurting her." Scorpion said as he picked up the Rider and threw him into a wall." Tell me girl, what is your name?" Scorpion asked as he approached Rainbow Dash.

"RAINBOW DASH!!!!!" Sunset yelled in worry as Scorpion turned toward her friends." LEAVE HER ALONE!!!"

"There's more of you?" Scorpion said as Rainbow stared right at him, right into his eyes." You're awfully brave to stand up to me." He said he as placed a hand on her shoulder." But also very foolish." He said as Rainbow screamed in pain as blood ran down her shoulder as he removed his hand." Any last words?"

"YOU B****RD!!!!!" The Rider yelled as flames filled the alley as he roared." YOU. WILL. DIE!!!!"

"What is this?" Scorpion asked as the Rider started to swing his chain in a circle." Now this is the Rider I remember, Come on then, try and kill me."

"You....Guilty." The Rider said as he swung his chain at Scorpion as it wrapped around him." There is innocent blood on your hands."

"You think this will stop me?" Scorpion said as he tried to break the chain as fired covered it, causing him to shout in pain." I-Impossible."

"Feel their pain." The Rider said as he tightened the chain around Scorpion as he struggled to break free." Send Quan Chi my regards."
The Rider said as Scorpion yelled in pain as he turned to stone." Farewell." He said said as he pulled the chain back as Scorpion shattered.

"Rainbow, please be okay." Pinkie said as the Rider looked at the group as the Rainbow held her shoulder." We need to get her to a hospital."

"Agreed." The Rider said causing them to jump." I'll take her, I can get there in no time."

"Now hold on there a minute partner." Applejack said as she stepped in front on the Rider." You seriously can't expect us to believe you after what we just saw."

"No, I do not." The Rider said as Applejack crossed her arms." But, you have my word that I will get her there safe and in one piece."

"Are their any more things like Scorpion?" Pinkie asked the Rider glanced at her." If so, how many?"

"There is one other, but he is being dealt with as we speak." The Rider said as Pinkie sighed with relief." But, don't get your hopes up, Jason is a very tough character."

"Wait, Jason? as in Jason Voorhees?" Rarity asked as The Rider nodded." Who's taking care of him, if I might ask?"

"A rival." Rider said as he whistled and his bike drove up to him." So, do you trust me to take your friend to hospital?"

"I don't know." Applejack said as she sighed.

"We can trust him." Fluttershy spoke up." Right, Blizzard?"

"How did you find out?" The Rider asked as the group gave him nervous looks." You read his journal?"

"Y-yes." Applajack said as the Rider began to cackle." What's so funny?"

"Blizzard doesn't mind people reading his journal, he just tells people that it's a story he's writting." The Rider said as he took Rainbow." I'll let him know that you girls found out." The Rider said as he revved his bike as he turned back to normal.

"I'll see you soon." I said as I drove off." Crimson is not going to be happy."

Camp counseling (Written by Crimson Beat)

--- Crimson/Grimstone---

Hey wake up. We're here time for you to take control. Grimstone said in my head as he pulled into the driveway right in front of the Rich's Estate.

"Crap man how long was I out?" I asked as I yawned while desperately trying to find my drink in the darkness.

'Bout two hours, but we're finally here and you may want to see this. Grimstone said as his tone grew more serious. I opened my eyes only to be greeted by dismembered bodies tossed throughout the yard like a child with his toys. I opened the door only to step in something that made a spine chilling squelch sound.

" I think this is the place." I said in confirmation when I realized I was standing in a pool of red human nectar.

Well let's get this show on the road I count six bodies in the yard. Grimstone added.

" Same I see two of the grounds men and four police officers that arrived to the call." I said as I broke off a branch from a nearby tree and started moving some of the clothes around trying to find identification. Snap a twig broke right behind me. I turned around and lifted up the branch in my hands ready to swing, but it was only a rabbit.

D@mn flee bag. Grimstone said as he caught his breath. Before I could turn around I felt a dead gaze on the back of my head as if something were standing right behind me. I turned around only to have a fist hit me in the jaw sending me five feet in front of me.

" Ouch you jerk what was that f-" I started to say only to realize who was standing before me. There he was 6'8" sporting his usual dark brown jacket and black pants. He didn't say a word. All I saw was his white and red hockey mask and the machete in his hand.

"There you are bubba!" I said as I stood up with a smile on my face as my body had mist starting to poor out of it. "Now the real fun begins Jason!" I screamed as my skin opened up to make way for a toxic green exo-skeleton that covered me like an armor." RRRRAAGGGHHHH!" I yelled as I opened my mouth as far as it would go to let out the skull of a wolf that covered my head like a helmet. My eyes became black and red and my once red and black hair turned to a burgundy colored mist like the assistant principal Luna's hair.

Jason just stood there with a baffled expression...I think.

---Grimstone P.O.V.---

"Huh, does my appearance make you speechless?!" I yelled as I roundhouse kicked him square in his right shoulder with the force of a train. He was launched by my kick directly into my car leaving I giant dent the size of a boulder. He just sat there with his usual blank stare as black blood dripped out the holes of his mask.

"Come on man couldn't you have spared the car?" I asked with a hurt tone in my voice. I'm assuming this made him mad because he then stood up and grabbed the car and threw it at me. I just snickered as lifted my hand and pointed at the car. My hair turned a gray metallic color and launched itself at the car splitting it right in half.

"Don't be a sorry sport the fun is just getting started." I said as my hair turned to the regular burgundy mist." Now if you want to give up that's perfectly understandable I mean I am a de-" I was cut off when I felt a sharp pain in my left elbow only to look down and see that it had literally been 'cut off'.

"You monsters are never easy to deal with are you?" I said calmly as green mist poured out of my wound and grabbed my forearm reattaching it." Now where should I cut you?" I said as my fingers disappeared only to be replaced by dark flaming talons." Maybe I should cut your nerves in your left hand so you will drop that butter knife? Or, maybe your legs and leave you just as a stump? Or even better how about I take your little toy and shove it down your windpipe and light your a$s on fire?!" I screamed as I slashed at his stomach causing large gray lumps to fall out followed by a black liquid. His torso then burst into flames that slowly went inside his body.
He tried desperately to fight off the attack to little success.

"Having fun with my purgatorial flames are we?" I said as I knocked him to the side two feet away. I then walked over and grabbed him by the throat and threw him into the house through a brick wall.

"And touchdown the crowd goes wild! They're chanting his name! GRIMSTONE, GRIMSTONE, GRIMSTONE!" I said as I rushed into the hole looking for my little friend. Suddenly before I could utter a word the rubble below me suddenly exploded as a tattered hand sprung forth and grabbed my ankle.

"Oh this is going to hurt like a Mothe-!" I started saying as I was slammed into the ground face first repeatedly. "I. GET. IT. NOW." I said during the free seconds I could talk. He then threw me at the wall and walked over." What are you going to do now big guy?" I said with a smile as I felt steady stream of blood pour down my chin, Then I felt a jolt in my gut only to look down and see his machete protruding from my stomach. I then passed out from blood loss with my eyes open.

I felt him tug on the blade trying to pull it out I saw my opportunity and grabbed his machete and pulled him in closer.

"That's not going to do it buddy." I said as my body was engulfed by flames burning his arms off completely. The flames created a crown that laid perfectly on my head." I AM THE ONE TRUE KING OF THE DAEMON RACE. GRIMSTONE NOW BOW BEFORE ME AND TREMBLE AS I SEND YOU TO HELL PERSONALLY!" I yelled as the real me came out.

I swiped my claw in the air to the right of me causing a portal to open where the hilt of a sword came out. I grasped the sword and pulled with all my might. The sword came out easily and laid at my side. At that very moment I saw one emotion finally show itself in his eyes. It was fear. With one mighty swing I ripped his head clean off his shoulders as the floor and ceiling were showered in the dark black smelly blood.

*huff* *huff* I panted as I regained my composure looking at my fallen enemy who suddenly burst into dark flames as the purgatorial flames did their job. I walked over to his decapitated head and smiled.

"Now did you learn your lesson young man?" I said as I picked up his head." No answer? Oh well." I added as I removed his mask for a trophy. I looked at my new prize and threw his head into the fire. I walked over to my sword which was which was standing perfectly on it's hilt as if the skull on it were watching our enemy burn.

"Be gone Hell Watcher your job is done for the night." As I said this the sword burst into white flames and disappeared leaving a skull and crossbones mark on the floor. I then let my mist hair envelop me as it turned bright red turning me back to normal.

Vrrmm Vrrmm I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I pulled it out and opened it up to see a text message from Rarity.

Rainbow is in the hospital she was very badly burned by a guy named Scorpion. Also we know that Blizzard is the Ghost Rider he's taking Rainbow to the hospital now as we speak. Heading there too will keep you updated once we catch up.

Oh s@it Grimstone commented as I crushed my phone to pieces in my hand.

" Grimstone I need your powers now." I said as I put Jason's mask on my shoulder like a guard.

No problem man brace yourself. He said as I felt my shoulder blades burn like someone put red hot irons on them.

"AAAAAGGGGHHHH" I yelled as two skeletal wings resembling those of a bat burst forth from my shoulder blades." BLIZZARD YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!!!" I proclaimed as I rocketed through the hole Grimstone made heading towards the city.

Actions have consequences

It's all my fault. I thought to myself as the Rainbooms and I sat in the waiting room of the hospital. If I had been quicker....

"Hey Blizzard, you okay?" Sunset asked snapping me back to reality.

"I'll be fine." I said as I laid down across some seats and looked out the window as it started snowing." It's my fault Rainbow's here in the first place."

"No it's not." Applejack said as I sighed." If anything it's either the Rider's or Scorpion."

Watch it cowgirl. Rider's voice echoed inside my head.

"Still, I should've stopped him, instead of messing around." I said as the image of Rainbow greeting stabbed flashed in my mind.

"Sorry I took so long darlings." Rarity said as she sat down." I texted Crimson to let him know about Rainbow."

"Come again?" I asked as I shot my head up in fear." Repeat that?"

"I let Crimson know what happened?" Rarity said as I got up." Is that bad?"

"He's going to f&cking kill me." I said nervous as the girls exchanged looks." I gotta go, contact me when Rainbows awake." I said grabbing my jacket." I'll be back."

"Where you going?" Sunset asked as I ran out." What was that about?"

---Blizzard---

Sh!t, Sh!t, SH!T!!!! Rider said as I got on my bike and drove off. WE'RE DEAD MAN!!!!

"YA THINK?!?!?" I shouted as drove through a red light." Maybe we can find some place to hide until he's calmed down?" I asked as I sighed." He's a demon, He'll find us eventually." I said as I slowed down and pulled over." Maybe we can talk it out?"

"I'd like to see you try." Crimson said as I yelped in fear." You had one job."

"I didn't hurt her." I said as Crimson narrowed his eyes at me." She tried to talk down Scorpion, And well...."

"You didn't let him get away did you?" Crimson asked as I shook my head." Good, But still this does make up for the fact that Rainbow could've died, You were supposed to protect her."

In all fairness.... Rider began.

"CAN IT RIDER!!!" I shouted as the Rider stopped talking." So, Crimson..(whack)...SON OF A..." I said as Crimson punched me in the face." What was that for?"

"Figure it out." Crimson said as I turned into the Rider." You think you can take me?"

---The hospital---

"I wonder what happens to Blizzard if he has to pee when he lets the Rider out?" Pinkie asked herself as she hung upside down on the chair." I'll have to ask him."

"I wonder where Crimson is?" Rarity asked as she stared at the clock." He should've been here by now."

"I'm sure he'll be here." Applejack said as Fluttershy stared out the window." But what I want to know is, why did Blizzard panic when you mentioned that you told Crimson what happened?"

"That is a good question." Sunset said as she heard screaming followed by a loud thud." You hear that?"

"Um G-Girls?" Fluttershy whimpered as she watched the Rider fly into a car as Grimstone landed in front of him and charged at him as the Rider jumped out of the way cackling as the girls gathered around the window." I think that's way he left."

"What is that?" Rarity asked as The Rider wrapped his chain around Grimstone's neck and jumped on his back." Who or what ever it is, seems to be giving the Rider a run for his money."

---Ghost Rider---

"GET ALONG LITTLE DOGGIE!!!!" The Rider cackled as he swung his arm in the as he stood on the back of Grimstone." YEEHAW!!!!"

"ENOUGH!!!!" Grimstone shouted as he grabbed Rider and threw him off his back." Had enough yet?"

"Aao..." The Rider said as his jaw dangled from his skull." Aon oent." The Rider managed to say as he snapped his jaw back into place as Grimatone cringed." Much better, CHARGE!!!!" The Rider yelled as he tackled Grimstone." I could keep going all night."

"So can I." Grimstone said as he drove his fist into the empty space next to him causing it to break open. He then pulled out a giant white and black sword." COME HELL WATCHER!" He shouted as he brandished his weapon.

"That's new." Rider said in shock.

"This is essentially my Mjolnir." Grimstone said as he grew a devious smile.

"Good to know, listen the hospital is right there, so I don't want Rainbow to actually...ya know...die." The Rider said as he wrapped his chain around Grimstones arm and swung him at an ambulance." YOU KNOW, WE CAN STOP THIS RIGHT NOW, AND JUST TALK IT OUT!!!!"
The Rider hollered as Grimstone roared at him." Usually, I'm the less reasonable one." The Rider mumbled as Grimstone tackled him into a wall." I already apologized, what more do you want?"

"You'll pay." Grimstone said as he slammed Rider into the ground.

"In cash or credit?" The Rider joked as Grimstone rolled his eyes and picked him up by his leg." Listen, we both know this fight won't get us anywhere, so let's settle this like men, and just simply talk it out."

"Men don't simply just, talk it out." Grimstone said as he crossed his arms." What?"

"NO DANK MEMES!!!!" The RIder roared as he tried to throw a punch at Grimstone as he caught his fist." Oh, you better just kill me." The Rider said as Grimstone tightened his grip." Sh!t."

"You give up yet?" Grimstone asked as The Rider sighed." Is that a yes?"

"Nope." The rider said as he spat fire into Grimstones face causing him drop Rider." I promise I won't kill ya, but I can't promise you'll be in one piece." The Rider said as Grimstone charged him." Lights out sweet cheeks." The Rider said as he tried to knock grimstone into the ground, but sadly his fist was stopped by what felt like a solid concrete wall." Um that's not supposed to happen this is where your face meets mother earth." Rider said as he backed up and the girls came outside of the hospital.

"Heh you actually think a little love tap like that is enough to do me in?" Grimstone said as he lifted up his head to reveal that his left eye was dangling out of it's socket." Come on Rider give me some credit."

"Um that's totally disgusting." Rider said as he tried to hold back his lunch.

"Well now I see we have an audience." Grimstone said as he looked behind me while his eye seemingly crawled back into place.
Rider turned around to see the Rainbooms standing there watching the two of us fight." I swear this is all a misunderstanding." Rider pleaded.

" have a question Rider if I take you to a certain altitude would that render you powerless?" Grimstone questioned with a sadistic look in his eyes.

"In theory yes, why?" Rider answered hoping to distract him.

"Just asking for a friend." Grimstone said as he began laughing. Suddenly his back began to tear apart. This sickening sound was then followed by two enormous bat-like wings erupting from his shoulder blades." All aboard 'air A$s Kicking'." Grimstone joked as he flew towards Rider and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Then in one swift motion he flew straight up.

"Don't do this Crimson!" I shouted as we got out of earshot of the girls.

No response.

" We can... talk this out.... like adults." Rider struggled to say as the altitude grew by the second.

"How well can you fly?" Grimstone asked.

"I can't.. at all." Rider said as he began to black out causing me to start coming back.

"Ah the man of the hour. Also did you know I was a giant boulder in a past life?" Grimstone said as he looked me directly in the eyes.

"What do you....." I began to say before it hit me.

" Boulders can't fly." Grimstone said as he turned around and started heading straight for the ground.

I could count the seconds as if they were hours. Five seconds, the buildings began to appear. Four seconds, the noises of the city finally started back up with the cacophony of sound. Three seconds, I could see the girls outside the hospital as they looked up in fear. Two seconds, the ground was a mile away from me. One second, the last thing I saw was asphalt. The sky drop was so powerful it created a crater in the parking lot of the hospital.

"Blizzard!" The girls screamed in unison.

" Don't worry he isn't dead yet." I heard Grimstone say as he grabbed me and tossed me a couple feet before the girls.

"Are you okay sugarcube?" Applejack said as she started walking towards me.

"Stop right there Applejack. Don't come any closer." Grimstone said as he walked over and grabbed me by my neck and lifted me up.

"How do ya know my name?" Applejack said in shock.

"Now I have three questions for you young man." Grimstone said." Question one. The mission you were given by someone we both know, did you succeed in the mission?" Grimstone asked as he looked me in the eyes.

"No I didn't." I responded.

"Correct!" Grimstone shouted." Question two. Who caused you to fail the mission?"

"Scorpion did he was the one who sta-" I started before I got a fist that felt like a cinderblock to my gut.

"Blizzard are you okay?" Rarity asked.

"Shut it Rarity this doesn't concern you!" Grimstone yelled." Now again who caused you to fail the mission?"

"I did I should've acted faster." I said as I regained my breathe.

"Correct!" Grimstone yelled as his grip grew tighter." Now the final question, what was your mission?"

"It was to protect Rainbow Dash." I said as I tried to not show any emotions.

"Exactly." Grimstone said as he reached his right arm out." Hell Watcher to me!" Grimstone yelled as his sword flew to his arm and began molding with it.

"What are you doing?" Rarity asked shocked.

"Twilight have you heard of the demon named 'Grimstone'?" Grimstone asked the scared purple girl who was trying to figure out what was happening.

"Yes he was a demon king from a long time ago and was rumored to have died, until fifteen years ago he was rumored to have been suspected of killing a lot of the members of the Changeling gang." Twilight said as she looked up thinking.

"Exactly so now do you have any last words Blizzard?" Grimstone asked as he lifted his sword to my heart.

"Don't kill him!" Someone behind me screamed.

" Rainbow what are you doing here?" I said as I looked behind me to see her wrapped in bandages.

"Ah the one I have been hoping to see." Grimstone said as he threw me to the side.

"Don't hurt him please it wasn't his fault." Rainbow said as she started backing up as Grimstone walked towards her.

"It was his fault he was given orders to protect you and he failed." Grimstone said as his patience grew shorter.

"He didn't mean to let me get hurt it was all Scorpion." Rainbow argued.

" RAINBOW FOR ONCE LISTEN TO YOUR OLDER BROTHER!" Grimstone yelled, then he realized what he had said.

" .....What....?" Rainbow said as she looked him dead in his red and black eyes.

" There's no hiding it now Grimstone sorry I took over for a second." Someone said even though no ones lips were moving.

"It's fine I might as well show them the real you right?" Grimstone said to the voice.

" Yes they need to know." The voice responded.

As the last letter left their mouth Grimstone's body was enveloped in a bright red mist and then the mist was absorbed by 'his' body.

" No.. No this can't be happening?!" Rainbow said as she started to tear up because standing before her was none other than her older brother Crimson Beat, however, he was different he didn't look normal he was in fact covered from head to toe in scars.

" I'm sorry I had to lie to you all, but he needed to be kept secret. Now the secret is out, he is the king of the Demon race Grimstone." Crimson said as the other girls were standing there in oceans of fear.

I hate to interrupt this little reunion, but I have business to take care off." A almost robotic sounding voice said from the top of the hospital.
"Wait it can't be." Crimson said as he started boiling with rage.

" How are you my little guinea pig?" The voice said as she removed the cloak around her.

" CHRYSALIS!!" Crimson yelled as he grew his wings and threw himself at her.

Vengeance

"We need to get Blizzard." Rainbow said as Applejack held her back." We need to help him."

"While that's happening?" Applejack asked she pointed towards Grimstone as he attacked The Changling Queen." I don't think that's a smart idea."

"I don't care." Rainbow said as I struggled to get up." He needs our help." She said as she broke out of Applejack's grasp and ran towards me." You okay?"

"I've been through worse." I said chuckling then immediately started coughing up blood." Oh, it hurts to laugh." I said as Rainbow helped me up." Thanks."

"That's what friends are for." Rainbow said as she smiled as she helped me get to safety." Now what this about you've been through worse?"

"What could be worse then that?" Rarity asked as Chrysalis grabbed Grimstone and threw him.

"Do any of you by any chance know who Michael is?" I asked as the group shook there heads." The arch-angel?"

"Who doesn't want a piece of you?" Sunset asked as she smirked.

"From the X-men to the Avengers." I said as Rainbow looked at me wide eyed." Don't get me started on the villains."

"What about Deadpool?" Pinkie asked as I sighed." I take you fought him?"

"I rather not talk about it." I said as I winced in pain as I put a hand to my side." Broken ribs, not fun." I said as Grimstone flew past us." Not funny get your butt handed to you is it?"

"This doesn't involve you boy!" Grimstone said as Chyrsalis appeared in front of him and knocked him back." F@CK!!!!"

"Can you help him?" Rainbow asked as I shook my head." Why not?"

"Both me AND the Rider are out of commission." I said as Rainbow kept me standing." Which isn't a good thing." I said as I breathed heavily." Surprised I'm not dead yet... and there we go." I mumbled as I collapsed.

"BLIZZARD!!!" Rainbow yelled in panic as she knelt down and shook me." Wake up, Please."

"What do we have here?" Chrysalis spoke as she appeared behind Rainbow and grabbed her by her neck and picked her up." And who might you be?"

"Leave her alone." Grimstone said glaring at her as Chrysalis smiled evilly.

"I see she's important to you." Chrysalis said as her hand turned into a blade." Tell you what, I'll let her live, unless, you come with me and we finish what we started." She said as Grimstone glared at her." Or else she dies." She said as she braught the blade close to Rainbow's neck."You're choice."

"Very well, I'll go." Grimstone said as he turned back into Crimson." I guess Blizzard's getting a second chance." He said he looked at my unconscious body." Better not f@ck it up."

"Say your good byes." Chrysalis as she dropped Rainbow." You have five minutes."

"Why have you been lying to me this entire time I thought I was your sister? You could've told me anything!" Rainbow yelled as she walked over to Crimson and began hammering his chest with her fists as she began to cry.

"I'm sorry Dash, but I didn't want you finding out what I really was. Not now not ever." Crimson said as he used his mist to envelop her in a blue mist that began healing her." This won't be goodbye when I get back I promise I will tell you everything."

"You've had your time let's go now." Chrysalis said as she opened a portal.

"Okay fine." Crimson agreed as he walked over next to her." Sorry for being the worst brother ever Rainbow I'm sorry. Tell Spitfire the phrase 'The watcher of Hell has awoken'." Crimson said as they vanished into the portal.

"It's going to be alright darling." Rarity said as Rainbow began to sob." We'll find him."

"How?" Rainbow asked as tears rolled down her face." Who's going to help us?"

"I don't know." Rarity said as she hugged her friend." But right now, we need to get Blizzard some where safe." She said as the sun began to rise." And then we need to talk Coach Spitfire."

"Help me with him." Applejack said as she took one of my arms and draped it over her." We can take him to the farm." She said as Pinkie took my other arm." We can probably make it by nine."

"Someone else can ride in front." Rainbow said as she hopped in the back." I'll make sure Blizzard's okay."

---Sweet Apple Acres---

"Rainbow, help Pinkie, I'll get the first aid kit." Applejack said as she stopped the truck and got out." Put him in the living room."

"No problem." Rainbow said as she helped Pinkie." He's surprisingly very heavy."

"I know." Pinkie said as Fluttershy held the door open." Place him here."

"Good idea." Rainbow said as they dropped me on the couch." I hope he'll be okay."

"What's going on in here?" Big Mac asked as he came down the stairs." Everything alright?"

"Morning Big Mac." Applejack said a she walked past him." Sorry, but our friend here has some broken ribs."

"Why didn't you bring him to the hospital?" Big Mac asked concerned." How'd he get hurt so bad?"

"It's hard to explain." Fluttershy said as I groaned." Very. Hard to explain."

"I'm just going to stay out of it then." Big Mac said as he walked outside." Call me, if ya need me."

"Hold his shirt up Rainbow." Applejack said as she grabbed some bandages." I'll be able to wrap it better."

"S-Sure." Rainbow said as she held my shirt up as Applejack wrapped me up." Ya done?"

"I just started." Applejack said as Rainbow sighed." He'll be fine, he said so himself."

"He fought an angel for goodness sakes." Rarity said as Pinkie nodded quickly." And who knows what else?"

"You're probably right." Rainbow said as Applejack stood up as she let his shirt back down.

"I don't know about ya'll, but I'm going to get some sleep." Applejack said with a yawn as she made her way to the stairs." You remember where the guest rooms are?"
"Sure do." Sunset said as they followed her." You coming Rainbow?"

"I'm going to stay down here." Rainbow said as she rested her head on my shoulder." I hope he wakes up soon."

---sometime later---

*click*

"Huh? Wha?" Rainbow said groggily as she sat up." What time is it?"

"Four in the evening." Pinkie said holding a camara." You two look so cute sleeping together."

"Delete the picture." Rainbow said as Pinkie stuck her tongue at her." Or I will."

"Gotta catch me first." Pinkie said as she took off running with Rainbow chasing her.

"Did Blizzard wake up yet?" Rarity asked as she came down the stairs followed by Sunset and Fluttershy.

"Not yet." Applejack said sadly."He should wake up soon, I hope."

"Um Applejack." Fluttershy said getting her attention." Is Blizzard alright?"

"I don't know, why'd you ask?" Applejack questioned.

"Because he's sweating, a lot." Fluttershy said with a concerned tone." And breathing very heavily."

"What in tarnation?" Applejack said as she put a hand to my head then quickly pulled it away." He burning up."

"What's going on with him?" Sunset asked as I started mumbling and shaking my head." BLIZZARD WAKE UP!!!"

"NOOOO!!!!" I shouted as I quickly leaned forward knocking Applejack down." Wha-what happened?"

"Everything's alright." Applejack said as I calmed down." Crimson did a good number on you last night."

"So it wasn't a dream then?" I asked as The girls looked away sadly." What happened?"

"Chrysalis took him." Rarity said as Rainbow entered the living room." And if he didn't go with her, she would've killed Rainbow."

"I'll find him." I said I stood up and groaned in pain." Not a good idea right now anyway."

"Don't you have a healing ability or something?" Pinkie asked as I shook my head." Then how do you think your going to take down Chrysalis?"

"Good point." I said as Rainbow sat next to me." I'll need some help." I said as someone knocked on the door.

"Be right back." Applejack said as she answered the door." Well I'll be, It good to see you again."

"Good to see you too Aj." A man said as she held the door open as a man with Dark brown hair and blue eyes walked, he wore a black leather jacket that looked like it was burned." Am I interrupting anything?"

"Our friend here was hurt, we were just helping him out." Applejack said as I looked at the man wide eyed." You okay Blizzard?"

That's plenty of help. The Rider said with happiness. Plenty indeed.

----Crimson P.O.V.------

"Where am I?" I said as I woke up strapped to a metal chair.

"Ah I'm glad you're finally awake now we can have some fun." Chrysalis said as the lights behind her sprang to life.

"What do you want from me I'm getting really bored of meeting you like this." I said as I grew impatient.

"Oh it's nothing I want from you it's from your friend I want him." She replied as she opened up a chest and pulled out a gold and black dagger that was drenched in a pure white substance.

"What is that?" I said as I looked at the knife.

Oh no. No no no no! Grimstone began screaming in my head.

"What's wrong?" I questioned him.

That's the blood of an angel. He replied. It only has one purpose and that is to kill demons no matter how strong they are. However, there is another risk. If the demon were to be living in a host then- He started explaining.

"The host will also more than likely die along with the demon. In other words you really need a miracle to save you now." Chrysalis said as she began laughing sadistically.

Let the hunt begin

"Um, Blizzard?" Rainbow asked a she waved a hand in front of my face." You alright?"

"Huh what?" I said snapping back to reality." You say something?"

"Nevermind." Rainbow said as Pinkie giggled." You know this guy or something?"

"In more ways then one." I said as I stood up as the man smirked." When was the last time we met up?"

"New York." The man said as I sighed." When Deadpool...."

"Please don't bring that up." I said as the girls gave me confused looks." You a friend of Applejack's?"

"Yeah, I know her parents." The man said as he put a hand on Applejack's shoulder.

"If I may, who are your exactly?" Rarity asked as the man crossed his arms." We understand you know Applejack and Blizzard, for some reason."

"Oh, I'm Johnny, Johnny Blaze." The man said as Rainbow's jaw dropped." Yes?"

"The stuntman?" Pinkie asked as Johnny nodded." I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!" Pinkie yelled causing Johnny to cover his ears." Sorry."

"It's fine." He said as he moved to the other side of Applejack." So, Blizzard, your 'friend' mentioned you needed some help?"

"They know about him." I said as The Rider appeared in a mirror next to me." And yes, I do."

"What are you talking about?" Applejack asked as Johnny faced her." Also, how did you help Blizzard with.....What did Deadpool do exactly?"

"Um..." I began to sadly remember.

---Two years ago---

"RUN B@TCH RUUUUNN!!!!!" Johnny shouted as we ran away Deadpool, who somehow got ahold of a Mecha suit.

"GOTCHA B@TCH!!!!" Deadpool yelled as he for rockets at us." I AM YOUR GOD NOW BRING ME YOUR VIRGINS!!!"

---Now---

"Yikes." Applejack said concerned as me and Johnny nodded." How'd you get away?"

"Sewers." I said as I crossed my arms."Stunk like crap for a week."

"Let's change the subject." Rarity said disgusted." We still need to tell Spitfire about what happened to Crimson."

"What happened to Crimson?" Johnny asked as Rainbow looked at him with a sad look in her eyes." Please tell me Chyrsalis didn't get him."

We responded by saying nothing.

"How do you know my brother?" Rainbow asked." You used to be old friends or something?"

"He helped a friend of mine sometime ago." Johnny said as he pointed to me." You know who I'm talking about?"

"What's he talking about?" Rainbow asked as she glared." Enough secrets."

"There's more than one Ghost Rider." I said as Johnny eyes turned into black pits as the girls backed away in fear."Four to be exact."

"FOUR?!?!" The girl shouted in unison.

"Myself, Johnny and two others." I said as Johnny nodded." One works with shield unfortunately."

"So you two against a changeling army?" Sunset asked." That should be entertaining."

"Oh no, you guys are staying here and that's final." I said as Pinkie pouted." Not going to work, but you can go with us to talk to Spitfire."

"Then let's go." Johnny said as we left the house." The sooner, the better. Also kid don't piss of dangerous friends. " Johnny said pointing to my head which still had a bandage wrapped around it covered in dry blood.

----Crimson's House-----

"Mom when is Dad gonna be home I still need help on my calculus homework." Green Song groaned as she laid with her feet above the top of the couch and her head at the floor.

"I don't know honey I wish he would get here soon." Spitfire said as she stared at a briefcase on the counter. Then suddenly there was the sound of motorcycles and a old pickup truck.

"I wonder who that could be?" Spitfire commented as the door's lock began to click open.

"Spitfire we need to talk now." Rainbow said as she was followed in by everyone.

"Sure what's wrong? Oh hey Johnny it's been awhile." Spitfire said looking behind us.

"Hey Spitfire how've you been?" Johnny commented followed by a rustle in the living room followed by fast and heavy footsteps.

" JOHNNY!" Green Song yelled as she ran up and hugged him around the neck.

"Hey Song you've gotten a lot bigger than the last time I saw you what has it been three years?" Johnny asked as Green Song nodded eagerly." Well how about this once I get done with some boring adult stuff I'll take you on a ride on my bike?" He asked only to be answered by a giant smile.

"What happened to your head and where's Crimson?" Spitfire asked as she grabbed my head looking at the big scrap mark.

"Crimson happened I made a promise that I would keep Rainbow safe and she got hurt by Scorpion and Crimson killed Jason Voorheas and then he proceeded to beat the sh!t out of me." I said as I tried sounding as sorry as possible.

"You guys didn't see anything weird about him did you?!" Spitfire responded almost as fast as Rainbow Dash ran.

"Yeah we did he also said to tell you 'The Watcher of Hell is awoken'" I said as I watched all color drain from Spitfires eyes.

"No no no no this can't be true!" Spitfire yelled as she ran to the briefcase as everyone followed her. She quickly pulled out a pendant that had a picture of all three of them in their best clothes underneath a tree and placed it on top of the briefcase as it clicked into place. She then opened the chest revealing nine orbs that all had the symbol of yin and yang in different colors inside them.

"These were one of the most important things he ever created. They regulate the condition of each person they represent. Blue is for Rainbow, Yellow is Fluttershy, Purple is Twilight, Pink is Pinkie Pie, Orange is Rarity, Brown is Applejack, Green is Green Song, Red is mine and Black is....his." She said as her voice grew small.

"What's wrong Spitfire?" Rainbow asked.

"Please let this be a malfunction." Spitfire muttered as she observed the black orb that had it's symbol spinning at a extraordinary rate.

"Is that bad?" I asked as I saw her start to regain herself.

"He's in trouble, the reason it's black and white is because the Black represents Grimstone and the white is his individuality." Spitfire said as she picked it up out of the case." We need to talk."

-----Living room-----

"Okay first off I'm a member of S.H.I.E.L.D and Blizzard I know who you really are." Spitfire said as she looked directly at me." Don't worry I won't tell anyone."

"Thanks..." I said as I almost had a heart attack.

" Crimson and I first met when he was a member of Tirek's gang 20 years ago we were both 18. He tried to help him take over the city to protect me but Tirek turned on him and killed him. Or so we thought." Spitfire began.

"Or so you thought?" I said as I looked at her suspiciously." Is that really what happened?"

"Yes it is we were there." Rainbow Dash said." Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie were there too."

"See?" Spitfire said as she raised her eyebrows." Now you see Tirek shot a experimental ray gun that had the power to level a city at me, He died in the recoil explosion, but I was saved by Crimson. Well it wasn't Crimson it was Grimstone. He sensed his resolve the night before to change the world by any means necessary so he possessed him in his sleep. Crimson lost a giant chunk out of his side from the blast but was healed when Grimstone's mist covered his body healing it almost instantaneously. Later on we started dating and he would have nightmares from time to time and talk in his sleep. He was always arguing with someone saying that he wouldn't have anything to do with a demon." Spitfire continued.

"Blizzard this next part you need to hear." Johnny said as he pointed straight at me.

"You do it actually, involves your dad." Spitfire added.

"Wait is this how he got involved with Chrysalis?" I asked quietly only to be answered by a nod.

"Your father and Crimson were both members of S.H.I.E.L.D. at the time and were essentially the drill instructors and were asked to take four promising students along with them as a graduation ceremony I guess you could say. So the mission was to infiltrate the Changeling hideout and kill Chrysalis... They were almost at the back entrance and inside the facility until they were ambushed by her main guard. They pinned down Crimson and your dad and killed the privates right in front of them one more gruesome than the last. Finally she let your dad go and told him to spread the word of what happened and she kept Crimson as her torture pet. He spent a long five years away from home as he was repeatedly torn to shreds and experimented on nonstop." Spitfire tried her best to continue but couldn't through the tears that were welling up inside her and were leaking out.

"It's okay Spitfire I was with you no matter what." Rainbow said as she started tearing up while she got up and sat next to Spitfire comforting her.

"Thank you." Spitfire said as she regained her composure." While he was in there during the brief fortunate times he passed out due to fatigue he talked to Grimstone and finally decided to be his host even though he was the strongest demon known to mankind."

"Wait I thought the devil himself was the strongest?" I said as my mind sent up a red flag.

"He essentially doesn't count since he is a fallen angel. Grimstone is an actual full blooded demon." Spitfire explained." He said he didn't remember much of what happened next. He just remembered seeing and hearing Chrysalis freak out and ask 'what he was doing' as the chains connecting him to the table were broken and she lost an arm from Hell Watcher. Then the next thing he saw was her decapitated corpse laying in front of her. He then regained consciousness and noticed her head was in his hand and Hell Watcher in the other. He explored the prison center looking for any prisoners and noticed a little girl with great big ole gorgeous yellow eyes and beautiful lime green hair." Spitfire said as she grabbed Green Song in a hug and held her tightly.

"Wait she was a captive of Chrysalis?" I yelled out." I really need to catch up on what's been happening."

"Yea she was a captive and her file stated that she was the next in line for the Changeling family and Chrysalis was below her. So he decided to bring her home when she was only one year old and we decided to make the day he found her, her birthday. When he got home I didn't even recognize him at first because he was so badly scarred. But, I knew it was him and once he explained everything I asked to meet Grimstone. He agreed and I was face to face with the Demon King himself. I thanked him for saving my life against Tirek and I then gave him a hug and thanked him for bringing the love of my life home and an amazing bundle of joy who was awake and adorably nibbling on my hair. He said to not thank him that Crimson had been thinking of me the entire time he was under her control and that I was the only thing keeping him going." Spitfire said as she reminisced on the good times.

"Mom there's a problem!" Green Song yelled as she looked at the orb on the coffee table.

" NO PLEASE TELL ME I'M HALLUCINATING!!!" Spitfire screamed as she began sobbing her eyes out.

"What's happening?" I asked as I looked around.

"No please tell me she didn't go that far. I know she was desperate to get Grimstone ,but not that desperate!" Johnny said as she stood up and began pacing.

" Johnny what's happening?" I said as I stood up ready to fight.

"In the old days when angels would sometimes fall from heaven and perish leaving their carcasses they would leave behind their pure white blood. Priests used this as a way to get rid of demons before exorcisms existed. However, when the angel blood was used those possessed there were terrible consequences. You see the host would almost alwa-" Johnny tried to explain only to be interrupted.

"DON'T DIE CRIMSON PLEASE DON'T DIE DON'T LET HER BEAT YOU LIKE THIS!!!!" Spitfire yelled as she cried even harder.

"DAD PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US! PLEASE!!!" Green Song yelled also as she began weeping.

"They died?!" I said in a loud tone due to shock only to be answered by a nod by Johnny as he looked at the table. I followed his gaze only to see the orb have the midnight black liquid slowly disappear only to be replaced by white while the orb started flashing like a excited heartbeat. Then I knew what was happening.... Crimson was dying.

Ghost riders in the sky

"We need to do something." Rainbow said as I stared at the orb." We can't just let him die."

"I can see if the Avengers are still in town." Spitfire said as I shot her a glare." Fury sent them, I didn't call them."

"I really hate that guy." I grumbled as I crossed my arms." What if you didn't have to call them?"

"We're talking about an army of changelings?" Spitfire said as I raised an eyebrow." Even though your inhuman, you wouldn't stand a chance." Spitfire said as I started laughing." What's so funny?"

"That's why the Avengers are here, because they think I'm an inhuman?" I asked as I tried to stop laughing." That's rich."

"Even Crimson was on to you about that." Spitfire said as Johnny rolled his eyes as I laughed harder." So, you're not inhuman?"

"Far from it. Even Crimson knew something about me was off and that I definitely wasn't an inhuman. " I said as my eyes turned orange as Spitfire gave me a confused look." How should I put this."

"There more than one." Johnny said as his eyes turn into pitts then back to normal." If you catch my drift."

"What do you mean more than......Oh." Spitfire said as she looked at Johnny." This could be a problem."

"If you're worried about one of us killing Crimson, don't worry about it." I said as Spitfire sighed." Chrysalis might do the job for us." I said as Rainbow smacked me in the back of the head." I deserved that."

"He may have lied to me, but he's still my brother." Rainbow said glaring at me." Don't. Kill him."

"We won't." Johnny said as he opened the door to leave." You coming Blizzard?"

"Please stay here." I said with a stern tone as I placed a hand on Rainbows shoulder."Don't want you to die this time."

"Please let us help." Rainbow said as I groaned." You can't got alone."

"I've got Johnny and Rider, I'll be fine." I said as I noticed Spitfire grabbing a gun." Same goes for you too. He may be your husband, but he'll definitely kill me if you get killed as well."

"I've had experience with changelings." Spitfire said glaring at me." I know how they work."

"Don't care, Right now, their nothing but just a bunch of pest that need to be wiped out." I said as Spitfire crossed her arms." Me and Johnny can handled it."

"Don't die again." Rainbow said jokingly as I walked out.

"So, Johnny." I said as I closed the door behind us." Can you keep up?"

"The real questions is." Johnny said as he swung his leg of the bike and stood above the seat." Can You keep up?"He said as I smirked and turned into the Rider." Let's ride." He said as he started his bike and turned on the rider." Try to keep up." He said speeding of as I followed him leaving trails of fire.

---Rainbow---

"I hope they can handle it." Rainbow said as she watched the two spirits drive off." That's really cool to watch."

"One Rider is hard enough to take in, but two." Spitfire trailed off." I wonder if there's anymore out there?"

"Do you think they'll keep their promise?" Green Song asked with worry." Dad mentioned even thought him and Johnny were friends, Grimstone and Ghost Rider never really got along."

"I remember when they got into fights." Spitfire said chuckling." Sometimes Northwest had to step in, which never turned out good for all three of them."

"That bad?" Applejack asked as Spitfire nodded." What was the worst thing that happened?"

"It was the helicarrier, Grimstone said something and Ghost Rider didn't take it to kindly." Spitfire said smirking." Took us a month to find them."

"They fell off?" Green song asked." Where did they end up?"

"Somewhere in Tennessee I think?" Spitfire said trying to remember." It was a long time ago."She said sighing as she looked out the window as it began to snow again." Let's hope they come back in one piece."

"Ugh I can't stand this I'm going after them. Are you guys coming?" Rainbow said out in anger.

"I thought you'd never ask." Spitfire said as she stood up and grabbed a set of keys that were under the table in a secret compartment.

"Didn't Blizzard say to stay here?" Fluttershy whispered.

"Yeah he did, but he's not the only one who wants to save my brother. Now let's go." Rainbow proclaimed which was met by sighs and agreement.

"Then it's settled let's use Crimson's favorite toy." Spitfire said as she pressed a button camouflaged on the wall that made an armored truck that could carry ten people appear from the yard.

---The Riders---

"There it is." Johnny said as He pointed towards a base of some sorts." Think we can handle it?"

"Why are you even asking?" The Rider asked as they stopped." Lots of dark souls too, should be fun."

"Then let's go." Johnny said as they sped towards the base.

"Hmm something doesn't seem right there aren't any guards." Rider said as they finally arrived at the base.

"You're right almost as if they were expecting us and have something in store for us." Johnny said as he slowly opened the door. As he did a bright orange and black mist poured out onto the ground and it produced a terrible smell that stunk of millions of rotting corpses.

"What the world is that smell?!" Rider said as he covered his face.

"One should not address a king like that..." A dark and horrendous voice that sounded like armies of men replied.

"Oh Celestia. Um Blizzard now would be a good time to get seri-" Johnny was saying before he was punted like a football ten feet from the door by a giant skeletal leg.Then the rest of the body came. There he was 10 feet tall a toxic neon green werewolf-like with huge bat wings skeleton that had a flaming crown above it's head.

"I am the true king of the Daemon race. I am Grimstone Ashenwings now bow before your ruler." Grimstone proclaimed.

"Holy crap this isn't going to end well." Rider said as he saw Grimstones expression change from high and mighty to out for revenge as soon as he saw his face.

---- Rainbooms-----

"How far have we driven?" Rainbow asked as she looked out the window,

"At least ten miles." Spitfire responded.

"Well hopefully it'll stop soon I'm getting a bit queasy back here." Rarity said.

"Actually you're in luck it looks...like we....are....here...." Spitfire trailed off as she saw the two ghost riders battling the giant demon.

"Who is that?" Applejack asked.

"Grimstone Ashenwing. The leader of the Daemon race.." Twilight answered.

"So that thing was inside bro?" Rainbow asked.

"Yea it was that's why Crimson kept him a secret." Spitfire responded." Okay I'm going to find Crimson so all of you stay in the car."
Spitfire ordered as she grabbed the completely white orb and placed it at the base of a high tech flashlight.

"Oh no I'm going with you." Rainbow argued back.

"So am I." Green Song chimed in.

"Fine but if things get too hairy I'm sending you two out immediately." Spitfire said as the three of them slipped out the truck and headed towards another side entrance away from the fighting.

"I can't believe Crimson let something like that live in him." Rainbow said as the look of fear swept across her face,

"Grimstone has a powerful influence on those around him especially when he's been released." Spitfire said as they walked down a long hall and then suddenly a tv turned on at the end of the hall in front of a door.

-----video----

"Now it's time to say hello to a dear old friend whom I need to properly thank for loping off my head." Chrysalis said as she walked over to Crimson with the white knife.

"D@mnit Chrysalis this is too far you know what that stuff does to people!" Crimson yelled as he tried to size up the situation.

"Oh I know what it does and so do you that's why I'm using it." Chrysalis said as she was now standing in front of Crimson.

"Think this through if you do this 'He' will kill every last being in this place even you." Crimson pleaded.

"Oh I know that's why I need to be clear and get right to the... POINT!!!!!" Chrysalis shouted as she drove the knife right into Crimson's collarbone.

"AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH" Crimson yelled out in pain as the white fluid mixed with his and then became pink and dripped into the floor.

"NOW GRIMSTONE ASHENWING I CALL UPON YOU TO RISE FROM YOUR IMPRISONMENT AND MAKE THIS WORLD YOUR OWN!!!!!" Chrysalis yelled as she raised her hands into the air. Then Crimson stopped yelling and his chest began to swell bigger and bigger. Then once it was the size of a watermelon it burst open revealing a portal that leaked out blue mist and the creature they saw the front exploded from Crimson's chest. After this the video stopped.

----Video End----

"Wh-why did she do this?" Rainbow started to say as her, Spitfire and Green Song began weeping loudly.

"I don't know but let's go say our final goodbyes while we can." Spitfire said as she grabbed Song's hand and held it tightly.
The three of them opened the door and walked in only to see a giant ocean of pink liquid at the bottom of a table and something covered in a cloth that had a tall peak towards the top. They then saw the hand. The left hand to be precise and on the ring finger was a wedding band that had a diamond made of amber.

"Crimson I'm so sorry I couldn't help you when you needed me." Spitfire said as she dropped to her knees.

"it's okay Spitfire we're here." Rainbow said through tears.
Green Song didn'tsay anything because the sight of her father's hand was enough to rip her heart to shreds.

Then the cloth shuffled followed by a low sound that was barely audible. The three of them stopped and became quiet.

"Dead.... Everyone's dead.....because of me....." A familiar voice said from underneath the sheet.

"Crimson are you okay? It's me Spitfire." Spitfire said as she grew a little happy only to have it stolen away from here when the figure under the cloth sat up causing the sheet to fall into the floor. Under it was something even God didn't want to see.

"Impossible...Spitfire.....is dead...." Crimson said as he turned his body revealing the glowing knife protruding from his collarbone and a gaping hole in his chest with a dead look in his eyes.

Death?

"Crimson stop messing around this isn't funny." Spitfire said as she felt her stomach rise into her throat.

"Who are you and how do you know my name..." Crimson said as he got off the table and started backing against the wall.

"Come on bro this isn't cool." Rainbow said as she started walking towards him.

"Stay back or I'll kill you!" Crimson yelled as he grabbed the knife in his chest.

"Dad don't you'll die!" Green Song said as she extended her hand in fear.

"Once again I won't listen to you changelings Spitfire, Rainbow, Song and everyone else are dead." He said as he pointed to a huge clump of bodies that were obviously changelings.

"Why are you doing this? You aren't like this." Spitfire said as tears began streaming down her face.

"Why are you changelings still trying to get me to break? You've taken everything from me. You took my wife, my sister, my daughter, my sister's friends and the closest person I could ever experience as a little brother. You have taken my very existence and made it one giant game to you all!!!" Crimson yelled as he grabbed his head and crouched down into a ball.

"Please snap out of it Crimson don't let Chrysalis beat you like this." Rainbow said as she began crying.

"Chrysalis?.. CHRYSALIS?! CHRYSALIS!!!" Crimson began yelling as he started flailing violently around causing the mixture of angel blood and human blood to fly everywhere.

"Stop Dad you're losing too much blood!" Green Song yelled through a river of tears.

As the last word left Green Songs mouth a giant crack appeared a couple feet in front of Crimson on the ground. Then something white began protruding through the portal.

"No Grimstone don't do it!" Spitfire yelled as she watched the pristine white and black blade Hell Watcher arise from the opening.
Then before anyone could say anything Crimson stopped dead in his tracks. He just looked at the three members of his family before him." Spitfire?" He said as he finally came back to his senses and began crying.

"Crimson are you oka-" Spitfire began to ask before she was interrupted by Crimson undergoing a serious coughing attack.He started coughing louder every time to the point where he had sounded like he had smoked his entire life. Then the red human nectar began to literally fly as it painted the sword red and the ground around it as well. Then with a final glance Crimson looked at his loved ones and cracked a grin, while blood was painting pathways down his mouth, before he lost his balance and fell forward.

"NOOOOO!!!!!!" The three girls said in unison as they watched the very person they were trying so desperately to save fall onto the demonic blade before him. The sword pierced the space directly above his collarbone and went all the way to the other side.

"D@mnit not like this!!!!" Spitfire yelled as she ran over and flipped Crimson on his back only to see that her husband, no her one and only best friend had a smile on his face and tears streaming from his eyes. The one life they had tried so hard to save had been extinguished right before their eyes.

"Mom.... Dad's gone...." Green Song said as she held the orb in front of her as it turned completely transparent and became cold to the touch. The three of them could do nothing, but cry.

After thirty minutes of saying their good byes they closed his eyes and removed the knife from his chest and began heading towards the way they came. Only to stop at the door and turn off the lights,

----Blizzard & Johnny V.S. Grimstone----

"Is this all you two spirits can muster?" Grimstone said in a very bored tone as he twirled The Riders chains around his arm.

"Give me back my toys!" Rider yelled as he slowly got back to his feet as his arm reset itself in place.

"Now Grimstone ole pal don't ya think it's about time to give up already?" Johnny said as he reset his jaw.

"Johnny you can leave I will kill you another day... However, you on the other hand aren't so lucky" Grimstone said as he looked towards Rider with his teeth bared.

"Why you singling me out Jolly Green?" Rider said as he stood up and popped his knuckles.

"1) I find your puns excruciatingly painful. 2) Your attitude isn't one to be proud of. 3) You are too stereotypical. and 4) I simply want to kill you or kick your a$s" Grimstone said as he looked Rider directly into the eyes.

"Good point." Rider said as Grimstone charged The Rider and began knocking Rider and Johnny around like toys.

"Blizzard this will help catch!" A voice yelled as I saw a giant white glowing knife fly towards me only to see that Spitfire had thrown it while she had Rainbow and Song behind her.

"Spitfire does that mean.." Johnny said as he trailed off only to have Spitfire hold up the transparent orb as the three of them began to cry.

"He can't be dead.." I said as I began taking back control of my body with the knife firmly gripped in my hand.

"We didn't make it.." Rainbow said as she looked down.

Then in a fit of rage I ran towards Grimstone flailing the knife around like it was a giant sword. I was actually able to land a strike on Grimstone as he had a giant slash mark with white liquid around it.

"AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Grimstone yelled as he grabbed the wound. He then laid flat on the ground.

"That can't be it can it?" I asked as I kicked his arm which sprang to life and grabbed my leg lifting me up into the air.

"Do you think that is enough to kill me? How path-" Grimstone began to say until he was interrupted by something that caused him to lunge forward. Then black liquid began seeping through his teeth,

"What the world?" Spitfire said as she looked only to see a giant black and white sword protruding from Grimstones back.

"I can't leave you for five minutes can I?" A voice said which came from the dark hangar behind Grimstone. Then came the padded foot-like sounds of walking.

"It... It can't be.." Rainbow said as the figure came into light as he reached out his hand towards the sword.

"Is that really you?!" Spitfire said as she began to cry even harder than she did before.

"DADDY YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!" Green Song yelled as she began sobbing like a little child.

"Im-Impossible!" Grimstone stuttered out as he turned around to see the one who had enough power to destroy him.

"Come to me Hell Watcher." Crimson said as he yanked off the blanket covering his bloody clothed body. "Now Grimstone there are two ways this can go down. 1) I kick your a$s and you decide to come back to my body willingly, or 2) I force you to come back." Crimson said as he sung the sword around in his hand.

"I have just one question." Grimstone said as he accepted his defeat with a devious grin on his face. "What took you so long?" He said as he chuckled.

"You know the usual stuff take a drug that makes angel blood essentially useless on you, act like it works, then have Hell Watcher return life to you those sort of things." Crimson said as he began smiling and waved a hand over his right eye only to reveal it had changed colors to red and black. Then the giant apparition of Grimstone dissipated and was devoured by Hell Watcher who then let Crimson absorb the demon king. Every one began to smile and shed tears of joy as they realized this was all part of the plan.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" A very annoyed woman yelled as she burst through the double doors hidden in the woods.

"Oh hey it's you." Crimson said as he smiled at the figure.

"You mean to tell me that I wasted pure angel blood for nothing?!" Chrysalis began yelling as she walked in front of the base.

"Pretty much now the grass is getting high so I'm going to cut it right here." Crimson said in a cocky tone as he pointed to Chrysalis with one hand and dragged his other free finger across his neck,

"DIE!!!" Chrysalis yelled as she charged Crimson who was standing right before us all.

The Accused and The Hunted

---A few days later---

"Ah Coulson, 'bout time you showed up." Fury said as agents examined what was left of the scene from a few nights prior."I was starting to think you wouldn't show."

"Quinjet engine froze." Coulson said as he stood next to his boss. "Any luck?"

"One of our agents informed us it was indeed a Ghost Rider." Fury said as the walked towards the charred truck. "And this one had some beef with Chrysalis."

"He got to her?"Coulson asked in confusion.

"She said someone talked him down from doing so." Fury said with concern. "I think I know who."

"Crimson?" Coulson asked as Fury nodded. "Haven't seen him for a while, how's he doing?"

"He's a father now, so I'm guessing he's doing just fine." Fury said as a thwip was heard behind them. "Hello Spiderman."

"Sup Nicky." Spiderman said as Fury groaned. "Sorry I'm late, My aunt needed me to get some shopping done before I left, also the others should be here soon."

"Anyway, If you haven't heard the Ghost Rider we've been searching for is here in Canterlot city." Fury said as Spiderman nodded. "We need you to try find it."

"How hard will it be to find a spirit with a flaming skull?" Spidey asked as Fury gave him a dead panned look. "Oh right, whole him being able transform, gotcha."

"I'm going to walk away before I get a headache." Fury muttered walking of.

"Any ideas where to start?" Spidey asked Coulson handed him a file."What's this?"

"A witness who was hurt during the fight that took place here." Coulson said as Spiderman opened it. "I suggest you go under cover for this one."

"Won't the witness get suspicious?"Spidey asked. "Hold on....This says the witness is Blizzard Wind, Didn't he die a few years ago?"

"We thought the same thing." Coulson said as he took the file back. "We thought wrong."

"Guess so." Spidey said concerned as he swung away.

---Hospital---

I'm so BORED!!!! The Rider groaned as I stared at the television. How much longer until we can leave?

"In a few hours the Doc said." I replied as I turned the channel to the news. "But your right, it's getting quite boring here."

We've been here for at least a week, all for what, some broken bones? The Rider groaned as I sighed. But no, they had to run test and what not.

"Probably wondering how I survived a rampaging Ghost Rider." I said annoyed as the Rider cackled. "Please, just shut up."

"Hey Blizzard." Crimson said as he walked in. "See you're doing better."

"What happened to you?" I asked noticing a bruise on the side of his face.

"Spitfire didn't take it to lightly that I pretty much almost died. And Dash had to get two swings in as well for lying and almost dying also." Crimson said rubbing the back of his head, chuckling nervously."Don't want to repeat that."

"I would say." I said as I rest my head in my pillow. "How's Rainbow doing?"

"She's fine." Crimson said as I looked out the window. "She wanted to know if you're positive that you're staying, whatever that means."

"I told her one of the reasons I left." I said sighing. "It was to find Chrysalis, now that she been captured, the job's done."

"So you are leaving?" Crimson said concerned. "Rainbow would hate that."

"I don't plan on leaving." I said as I sat up. "In fact, I'm going to start doing what I was meant to do."

"And that is?" Crimson asked as my eyes flashed orange as I smirked. "I see." He muttered as my eyes turned back to normal.

"Anyway, I miss anything interesting." I said as Crimson sighed. "What happened?"

"Everything's a mess a C.H.S." Crimson said rubbing his face."Someone person on Mystable going by the name Anon-A-Miss is spreading very personal secrets on the Internet."

At least things didn't get dull while we were on the sidelines. The Rider said with excitement.

"Any ideas who it is?"I asked as Crimson pulled out his phone and showed my the page. "That tells me nothing."

"I've tried hacking it, whoever's account this is has some good firewalls." Crimson said as a nurse walked.

"Please tell me you have good news." I said as the nurse rolled her eyes. "Please?"

"Today is your lucky day." The nurse said as I raised an eyebrow. "You're being discharged early."

"I thought he said I wasn't going to be released until later today?" I asked as the nurse shrugged and walked out. "Finally."

"Must've been boring here." Crimson joked as I nodded. "Anyway, when you get the chance, mind helping out with this whole Anon-A-Miss thing?"

"I can try, but it won't be easy." I said as Crimson looked at me confused. "Whoever is behind this has a pure soul, which means I can't track them."

"I didn't think about that." Crimson groaned as I nodded. "But still, we need all the help we can get."

"I can ask around." I said as I swung my feet out of the bed. "Who's your number one suspect?"

"People are saying it's Sunset Shimmer." Crimson said as I looked at him surprised. "I don't think it is."

"Anyone else thinks she innocent?" I asked as Crimson shook his head.

"Just Green Song, myself, and Rainbow surprisingly." Crimson said as I smirked." The others were the first to blame Sunset, Rainbow too at first, but she realized the truth."

"Let me guess, the other turned their back on her and Sunset?" I asked as Crimson nodded. "Let's get one thing straight, I'm on no ones side until I talk to sunset."

"Sin sense, right?" Crimson said as he began to leave." Also, Sunset and Rainbow are waiting for us in the lobby."

"Tell them I'll be with them soon." I said as Crimson left. "I'm going to f@cking kill who ever is behind this."

---Sometime later---

"What's taking him so long?" Rainbow asked no one in particular as she walked back and forth.

"Paper work probably." Crimson said as Rainbow sighed." You doing okay Sunset?"

"I'll be fine." Sunset said sadly as she rubbed her arms." Just nervous."

"About what?" Crimson asked as Sunset looked away." You're going to be fine, The Rider isn't going to do anything."

"If he does then we'll take care of it." Grimstone and Crimson said in unison as his right eye turned black and red, then back to normal.

"Thanks I guess, I hope you're right." Sunset said as she spotted me." There he is."

"Sorry it took me so long." I said as Rainbow kept pacing. "Is she alright?"

"She will be." Crimson said as Sunset avoided eye contact with me. "So?"

"What's your side of the story Sunset?" I asked as Sunset slowly looked at me. "I'm not going to bite."

"I'm pretty sure Crimson told you about Anon-A-Miss right?" Sunset asked as I nodded. "It started kinda small, but slowly got bigger, then one day they posted secrets about Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow." She said sadly as she sniffled. "When their secrets got out, they used pictures I took and posted from slumber parties and..." I cut off by raising my hand as she looked at me confused.

"I've heard enough." I said as Sunset gave me a worried look. "Any ideas on where I can start proving innocence?" I asked as she began to smile as I felt a pair of arms wrap around me as Sunset giggled. "'Bout time you noticed Rainbow."

"Glad to see you're better." Rainbow said as she let go of me. "Listen we need your help.."

"I was just given the details." I said as Rainbow looked at Sunset." It doesn't take a Rider to know that she's innocent."

"So you'll help us?" Rainbow said as I nodded." Any ideas on where to start?"

"No clue." I said shrugging." This is not going to be easy."

"Oh Celestia.." Crimson said as he looked at his phone with his eyes growing like he just saw a ghost.

"What's wrong bro?" Rainbow asked as she looked over worried.

"Anon-a-miss just made another post.. Blizzard you need to see this." Crimson said as he showed me his phone.

"Oh no.." I said as I read the heading of the article: The Ghost Rider and Demon King. Who are they? Could they be anyone... Even a staff member and student attending Canterlot High School?: Underneath the article heading was a close up of both Rider and Grimstone with two question marks next to their faces.

"We need to find them now before the truth gets out or it will be nothing but chaos." Crimson said as he yanked his keys out of his pocket as we all headed towards the front door of the hospital in a rush.

Past pain

--C.H.S--
~Following day~

"ROT IN HELL SHE-DEMON!!!" A student shouted as Sunset was shoved to the ground as other students laughed.

"Leave me alone." Sunset whimpered as the student stood over her and kicked her in her gut as she yelled in pain.."P-please."

"You deserve this."The student said as a hand grabbed him by his shoulder and shoved him against the lockers."You looking for a fight?!"

"You want detention?" Crimson said as he held the student against the locker. "I'm sure Ms. Luna would just....Love..to see you again Hoops." He said as Hoops had a nervous look as Crimson let go of him. "Now come with me." Crimson said with a menacing tone as I help sunset up. "Take her to the nurse."

"No need to tell me twice."I said as I spotted Rainbow walking over to her former friends."You going to be okay?"

"Why didn't they do anything?" Sunset said as she began to cry."They just watched."

"I'll have a word or two with them later."I said as I held Sunset up. "Maybe give them a nightmare."

"They don't deserve that." Sunset whispered as Rainbow caught up with us. "Thanks for helping."

"No problem." I said as we stood in front the nurses office as the bell rang. "Good thing it's a free period for me."

"I have History."Rainbow groaned as me and Sunset snickered."I'll see you two later."

"So you and Rainbow huh?" Sunset asked smirking as I looked at her confused as we waited for the nurse. "She told me what happened when you ended up in the hospital." She said as I blushed. "You like her, don't you?"

"How can you tell?" I joked as she giggled. "We've known each other for a very long time, she's probably the one I could really talk too."

"What about your parents?" Sunset asked I sighed. "Sorry that I brought it up."

"It fine, to be honest though, as much as they loved me more than anything, they were always busy." I said as we sat down. "Mom with the wonderbolts, and Dad....With Shield." I trailed off as an angry look came over me."I'll f@cking kill him."

"What do you...." Sunset was cut off as the door opened and the nurse gasped and immediately helped her into the room. What was he talking about? She thought to herself looking over her shoulder.

---Crimson---

"This is the third time this week Hoops." Crimson said as Hoops rolled his eyes. "I'm pretty sure Principle Celestia is going to call the police when she hear what's happened."

"For what?" Hoops asked as he scoffed. "Putting the b@tch in her place?"

"Aggravated assault, attempted manslaughter, disturbing the peace,... want me to go on?" Crimson said as Hoops whimpered. "Just hope the police put you behind bars in time."

"W-why?" Hoops asked nervously.

"Did you read the post about the Ghost Rider and The Demon King?" Crimson asked as Hoops gulped. "Yeah." He said as he opened the door to Celestia's office.

"Another one?" The secretary asked as Crimson nodded. "What's it this time?"

"Beating down Sunset Shimmer, and possibly almost killing her." Crimson said as Celestia opened her door. "Speaking of which?"

"There he is." Celestia said as she walked out followed by a man in a black leather coat and wearing an eye patch. "Crimson, this man claims to be an old friend of yours?"

"I know him yes, but friend is stretching it." Crimson said as he glared at the man. "Before we talk, Hoops here is in need of some punishment."

"For what?" Celestia asked as Hoops looked away. "Sunset?"

"Let him explain. In full detail." Crimson said as Hoops reluctantly walked into Celestia office. "What do you want Fury?"

"Let's go somewhere private." Fury said as Crimson lead him to an empty conference room. "How's Green Song doing?"

"Why are you here?" Crimson asked glaring at him as the door closed behind him.

"Right to the subject then." Fury said as Crimson crossed his arms. "We know you helped the Ghost Rider a few days ago, Where is it?"

"Why should I help you, you tried to have Green Song locked away when I found her."Crimson said a Fury sighed. "On multiple occasions."

"I understand, but no one is safe with this Rider on the loose." Fury said annoyed. "That's why we need to lock it away."

"I'm not going to let you do that." Crimson said. "So you might as well just leave."

"You seriously still can't be holding a grudge." Fury said as Crimson rolled his eyes. "That happened years ago."

"And yet you did nothing." Crimson growled as he glared at Fury as his eyes began turning black and red causing Fury to place his hand on his gun. "Because of you, I lost a good friend of mine, the recruits whose first day it was in the field, years of my life I could've been happily spending with Spitfire, and the sanity I lost in that Hell hole!"

"And you're blaming this on me?" Fury asked as Crimon's eyes narrowed and turned back to normal. " First I didn't know that Chyrsalis would kill North, second those recruits knew what they were signing up for the moment they applied, and lastly how would I have known that Chrysalis would've kept you and made you go mad?"

"Yes you did." Crimson said as Fury folded his arms behind him. "Spitfire and I warned you that the Changlings were after Northwest and his family, many times, and yet you didn't listen."

"We had more important things at the time and..." Fury began to argue back.

"What could be more important than saving someone's life?" I interrupted as Fury faced me as I stood in the door way. "I was wondering when you would pop up."

"I was wondering the same thing about you." Fury said as I approached him. "I don't know what you heard, but...."

"I suggest you listen to Crimson and leave." I said as glared at him. "You're obviously not welcome."

"I see neither one of you care to hear what I have to say." Fury said with disappointment.

"We have more important things to deal with." I said as Fury glared at me. "Also if I catch any agents spying on me or Crimson, we will end you."

"You're bluffing." Fury said as Crimson scoffed. "What?"

"Am I?"I asked as my eyes flashed orange. "You may have the Avengers, but, do they stand a chance against a Rider and the Demon King?" I asked as Fury stared at me as his eyes widened. "Send all the heroes you want, they don't stand a chance." I said as Fury stood there.

"That's your cue to leave." Crimson said as he opened the door.

"I feel so much better now." I said as Fury walked out.

"No kidding." Crimson said as my eyes turned back to normal. "I'll probably get an earful from Spitfire about this."

"Need some back up?" I asked as Crimson smirked. "Anyway, Sunset is at the nurse, plus I have a feeling that something bad might happen to her."

"Couldn't agree more." Crimson muttered as the bell rang ."Better get to class, we can talk about this later."

----Nine o'clock/C.H.S./Crimson----

"Ugh I hate filling out student fight reports." I groaned as I leaned back in my chair while loud music blared in my ears.

I know what you mean they do have meaning, but they're stupid. Grimstone commented as I could sense his liking of the music that was playing.

*Vrrrmmm Vrrrmmm* My phone buzzed. I looked down to see that Spitfire texted me.

Long day at work, Fury was shaken up. You don't know anything about it do you? >:( Anyways hope you don't have much more to go you have a chicken salad sandwich in the fridge. I'm going to bed we're all tired. Love you goodnight :*

Aww she's so sweet. Grimstone said in a baby voice.

"Oh shut up." I said as we both started laughing. "Finally I'm done! I cannot feel my fingers." I said in victory as I finished the report and yanked my earbuds out of my ears.

"Are you sure you're done?" A childish voice said behind me.

"Whoever's there we're closed so if you don't mind leave the building. Also show yourself 'cuz I can't see who is talking." I said as I stood up and grabbed a torque wrench that laid on my desk.

"Aww don't be so mean we just want to play.. Demon King!" A hooded figure said as it stepped out of the shadows.

"So you're this Anon-a-miss person eh?" I said as I smirked.

"I just want to pass on a message. That message is I know who you really are Crimson and I know how much of a threat you can be. So if you play nice and let me continue my internet justice then I will leave you alone." Anon-a-miss said.

"How about you leave now and pray that when I find out who you are that I don't beat you down." I replied in an assertive tone.
Anon-a-miss just chuckled as they disappeared into the shadowy hall.

Umm what the world just happened? Grimstone asked in confusion.

"Bad guy 101: in order to make yourself legitimate you need to make yourself known to someone strong." I said as I grabbed my things and headed to the exit. "We need to tell Blizzard first thing in the morning."

Hail..

"I feel bad for Sunset." Green Song said as she watched T.V. while Crimson sat in the kitchen doing paperwork. "I'm glad it's a snow day."

"I wish I could agree on that." Crimson muttered as someone knocked on the door. "Could you get that?" Crimson asked as Green Song opened the door.

"Hey guys." Green Song said as I walked in followed by Rainbow."How are you not cold Blizzard?" She asked as she noticed I was only wearing my normal clothes and Rainbow was wearing a heavy coat.

"Ghost Rider, remember?" I asked as Green Song shrugged. "Plus it's not really that cold outside."

"Not that cold?" Rainbow blurted as she hung up her jacket. "It's fifteen degrees."

"Ever been to Vostok?" I asked as Rainbow and Green Song looked at me confused. "It's somewhere in Antarctica, it got about minus 128 if I remember."

"How did you not get Frostbite?" Green Song asked as I shrugged. "I hate the cold."

"That makes two of us." Rainbow said as I rolled my eyes. "I know you want to say it."

"I'm not quoting Frozen." I groaned as Rainbow laughed. "And you're not going to force me to either."

"Please don't." Crimson called from the kitchen.

"Even your brother agrees." I said as Rainbow pouted. "Nice try though."

"How's Sunset?" Green Song asked as Rainbow gave her a sad look. "What happened?"

"She wanted to try to talk to her former friends her side of the story." I said as we sat down. "Some pretty hateful things were said."

"Oh no." Green Song said with worry. "How bad was it?"

"Bad enough that I had to pull Blizzard out of there before the Rider wanted to have a say." Rainbow said as Crimson glanced at me. "Just in time too."

In my defense, I was trying to stand up for Sunset. The Rider mutter as I sighed.

"I'm glad you did Rainbow." I said as Rainbow smiled. "The last thing we need is a rampaging Ghost Rider....Again." I said Crimson went back to his work. "Anyway, are we any closer to finding who Anon-A-Miss really is?"

"I may have a lead." Crimson said he got up and walked over to us. "Anon-A-Miss decided to pay me a little visit last night, she knew who Grimstone was."

"Well we know it's a Girl who's behind this." I said. "But...Who could it be?"

"Someone who really hates Sunset?" Green Song said as I gave her a dead panned look. "What if you asked around?"

"How exactly would that work?" I asked as Green Song shrugged as Rainbows Phone buzzed. "If you're talking about my sin sense, it doesn't work that way."

"We need to find Sunset, She's in trouble." Rainbow said as she showed me her phone.

This is for whoever wants to get back at Sunset Shimmer for posting our secrets, Meet me at the abandoned warehouse on east rain street tonight, bring anything to make her pay.

"You know where she lives Rainbow?" I asked as she shock her head." Crimson?"

"Nope." Crimson said as he looked at the text. "You know who this is Rainbow?"

"I can't remember." Rainbow said looking at the number. "Sorry."

"How can we find her before pretty much of C.H.S gets to her first?" Rainbow asked as I sighed. "Any ideas?"

"We could check the school." Crimson said as he pulled out a key. "All teachers have a key."

"You check there then." I said as I opened the door. "I'll swing by Sugar cube and check to see if she went back."

"We can help." Green Song said as Rainbow grabbed her jacket. "Dad?"

"You two can help me out." Crimson said grabbing his jacket. "Blizzard?"

"I'll meet you at C.H.S." I said as I closed the door behind me. "I hope she'll be okay."

---Sunset---

"Wake up." A voice said as Sunset felt a sharp pain cross her cheek. "Don't want to pass out while we have our fun tonight," The raspy voice said evilly.

"Mmpf." Sunset struggled out through the gag. "Gilda?"

"Just confess that Your Anon-A-Miss, and we might go easy on you." Gilda said cackling a she left. "Try not to freeze to death."

Someone, please help me. Sunset thought to herself as she began to sob.

---Blizzard---

"What are you doing here?" Applejack asked me with hatred in her voice as a I approached her and her friends. "Shouldn't you be eating some souls right now?"

"Give me a reason why I shouldn't b@tch slap you right now." I snapped back as the group gave me shocked looks. "If things weren't so serious I'd give you a piece of my mind, But I need to know where Sunset is?"

"I'm afraid we don't know darling." Rarity said without looking up from her drink. "Last time we saw that wench was when she left after you and that traitor left."

"You're pushing the wrong buttons right now." I said as I felt myself heat up. "You should be ashamed of yourselves."

"Why, because even though you're a Rider, you can't tell that Sunset guilty?" Pinkie said getting in my face. "She's probably using some spell on you."

"I dare you to repeat cupcake." The rider spoke as he took control as Pinkie fell back."I promised Blizzard I wouldn't hurt ya, but I'm really regretting that choice."

"You wouldn't, would you?" Fluttershy spoke up as the Rider looked at her as she hid behind her hair. "N-never mind."

"I'd say you four are useless. How can you sit idly by as someone who was there for each one of you is in need of help? Look at Blizzard everyone thought he was dead and when he came back even though I've murdered many bad guys with his body as my vessel you still accepted him. What's so different now? If you still want to harm Sunset then remember this." The Rider ranted as he began to speak the lyrics of a song. "One, two, Riders coming for you, Three, four, better lock your door, Five, six, gonna need more than sticks, Seven, eight, you're gonna see the gate , Nine, ten, now I'm awake again." He finished as he cackled.

"I'm going to have nightmares for awhile." Rarity said as Fluttershy shuttered.

---C.H.S---

"Couldn't you ask you're S.H.I.E.L.D. buddies if they could help?" Rainbow asked as Crimson glared at her. "What did I say?"

"They're to busy with trying to arrest Blizzard." Crimson said as they walked back to his car. "But they're too scared to try because of me."

"I take it that's a good thing?" Green Song asked as Crimson nodded. "Are they still around?"

"They're everywhere." Crimson said as I pulled up. "Well?"

"No luck." I said as Rainbow sighed. "But I have a feeling she might've been here."

"How can you tell?" Green Song asked as I gave her a worried look. "It's not good, is it?"

"Innocent blood was spilled here, Her Blood." I said as Crimson gave me a worried look.

"Can't you track her then?" Rainbow asked as I nodded. "Heck we could go to that warehouse and find her."

"Do you realize, that the street and warehouse that were mentioned are located in the warehouse district?" I asked Rainbow face palmed. "If you went there you'd have about ten or twenty buildings to search."

"It's up to you then."Rainbow said sadly as I half gave her a knowing smile. "Make them pay."

"With pleasure." I said as I turned into the Rider and drove off as the song came back to me as I hummed the tune.

---???---

"Fury said we might be dropping this mission." A shield agent said as he and his partner stopped in front to an alley. "This Rider has Girmstone on his side."

"So that's not a rumor then." His partner asked as he nodded. "What's next Williams?"

"Who knows Hobbs?" Williams said as they failed to noticed a shadowy figure wearing a black outfit with a red and black symbol on the chest, and a mask with a red 'H' on the forehead approach behind them.

"Honestly, with this Ghost Rider business, I kinda miss stopping Hydra." Hobbs said.

"You won't for much longer." The figure spoke as the sound of shifting metal was heard followed by a bang as Williams was shot in the chest.

"This is agent Hobbs, requesting back up on ACK!!!" Hobbs was cut off as the figure grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up and aimed a Flint Lock pistol at the side of his head. "Who are you?"

"Hail...Hydra." The Figure spoke as he shot Hobbs.

..Hydra

----Crimson P.O.V-----

"Ugh today was very stressful." I said as Rainbow, Green Song and I walked into my house a couple hours after Blizzard left.

"Crimson we have a problem.." Spitfire said as she met us at the door.

"What's wrong mom?" Green Song asked as we followed her into the living room.

Then there sitting on the couch was the last person I was expecting.

"Been what a couple days Crimson?" Fury said as he took a sip of water.

"Not enough days Fury." I said with a stern tone in my voice as I crossed my arms and stood in the opening as Rainbow and Song sat down.

"Well that's very nice of you to say I missed you a lot after our little conversation at the high school." Fury said as he stood up and looked me in the eyes.

"What do you want?" I questioned as I felt my patience growing slimmer.

"What no 'how was your day?'" Fury joked.

"We aren't in the middle of a joking matter." Grimstone said as he partially manifested himself turning my right eye into his.

"I'm never going to get used to that." Fury chuckled.

"Like Grimstone said we're in the middle of something important and we don't need little interruptions like this Nick so get to the point." I said as I glared at him.

"Fine. We had two agents murdered last night by an unknown assailant and we would like your help." Fury said as he sat down and clasped his hands together.

"How is this our problem?" Grimstone commented.

"Normally we wouldn't come to you all, but this is different. There are two things that need to be addressed, but first things first." Nick said as he laid a picture of a hospital on the coffee table in front of him.

"Wait isn't that..." Spitfire trailed off as she looked at Fury who simply nodded.

"Two months ago we found out that this hospital wasn't no ordinary hospital. It was a Hydra facility." Fury said as he closed his eye as if bracing himself for a punch.

"THE H3LL DO YOU MEAN A HYDRA FACILITY!!!????" I yelled as I slammed my fist down onto a small chestnut coffee table causing it to shatter into pieces.

"Dad what's wrong why'd you destroy the table?" Green Song said in a loud tone.

"Green Song be quiet!" Spitfire ordered as her eyes filled with rage as well.

*knock knock* The door sounded.

"Who is it?!" Grimstone yelled in the direction of the door.

"It's us we need to talk to Rainbow." A country accent replied.

I walked over to the door and yanked the door open with a force so strong the doorknob created a hole inside the wall.

"May-Maybe we should come ba-ba-back." Fluttershy said as she cowered behind her four friends.

"Inside...Now!" I said in a dominating tone as I stepped out of the way. Without arguing the four girls walked in and sat in the floor with pale faces.

"Girls why are you here?" Rainbow said in a worried tone.

"We wanted to apologize to you darling for treating you so badly." Rarity said in a low voice.

"Why just me though why aren't you telling Sunset this also?" Rainbow asked.

"Because we still don't trust her fully silly!" Pinkie said in her happy tone.

"Save this talk for later! Now Nick tell me what you did about the Hydra Facility." I said as I walked over and slapped my hand on the picture.

"We raided it of course and found some very disturbing experiments and videos. However, one you would be interested in.." Nick said as he pulled out a tablet and began playing a video.

-----Video-----

"Experiment Number 8477. Name: Flint Locke. Gender: Male. Parents: Classified." A computer like voice sounded in the beginning of the video.

"Now Flint tell us how do you feel?" A scientist asked as he stood above a boy who was in his teenage years and was in a red and black suit.

"Perfected..." Flint replied.

"Very good now how does your new arm and leg feel?" The scientist asked.

"Amazing..." Flint replied.

"Good. Now how do you feel about your parents seeing you like th-" The scientist began before he was cut off by Flint's hand that shot up and grabbed the scientist by his throat.

"Don't ever bring them up again." Flint said in an angry tone as he jerked his hand to the side quickly and snapped the scientist's neck. After the last breath left the scientist's body it was thrown to the side.

Flint walked directly in front of the camera. Then lifted both of his arms with hands made into fists.

"HAIL HYDRA!" Flint shouted at the top of his lungs.

----Video end----

"D@mnit Nick I knew this was a bad idea. Why didn't you check the background of this building or give him some guards!?" I said as I placed both of my hands on my head as I grabbed two fist full chunks of hair as I walked around with my eyes closed and grief on my face.

"What's happening? Who is that man?" Green Song asked as the others grew worried.

"You haven't told her yet?" Nick said as he realized he may have messed up.

"Oh Green Song honey. We're so sorry." Spitfire said as she walked over and hugged her daughter and began to quietly cry.

"Why him? Of all people why him?!" I yelled as tears began to roll down my face.

"Who is he dad?" Green Song asked as she began to get scared.

"Everyone you need to hear this." I said as I sat down on the two seated love seat and Spitfire joined me. We looked into each others eyes as she began to cry a little more. "I'll tell them honey." I said as I grabbed Spitfire's hand causing her to cry even more.

"What's going on?" Rainbow said as her and everyone else began to get worried.

"We haven't told you everything. After the fight with Tirek Spitfire and I became a couple and decided to get married a month later. Then after we were married we did like normal married couples do and start a family. However,... Spitfire was able to conceive a child and successfully gave birth to a little boy..." I said as I closed my eyes to get myself together. "But, we weren't out of the woods. The laser that was shot towards Spitfire was nuclear powered and even though Grimstone took most of the blast the radiation still got to Spitfire. Our son had been born with multiple birth defects as well as no right arm and no left leg. Then Fury told us of a hospital that specialized in these sort of incidents and had a 80% success rate. So we admitted him to the hospital. That hospital is the one in the picture that is secretly a Hydra Facility." I said as I looked at everyone who's eyes were wide as they realized what I was saying.

"Dad.. what was.... my brother's name?" Green Song asked as she began to whimper.

"His name.... was Flint Locke" I said as I clenched my fists turning them white.

---Blizzard P.O.V---

"So what's the plan?" I asked Rider as I sat on my bike and watched as more C.H.S students entered the warehouse.

Crimson would flip if we killed them, so let's say we won't kill any. The Rider said as I adjusted the chain wrapped around my shoulder. So we simply make an example of one of them.

"The one who hurt her the most?" I asked as the Rider cackled. "Very well, Have fun." I said as I got off my bike and my skin started to burn away as the Rider came out.

"Time for some fun." The Rider said as he kicked down the door. "HERE'S GHOSTY!!!!!" He bellowed as students began to scream.

---A few minutes earlier---

"Please let me go." Sunset whimpered as a student pushed her to the ground. "I'm not Anon-A-Miss." She said as students laughed as she was picked up and slammed onto the ground as she started to cough up blood.

"Don't kill her." Lightning Dust said as Sunset curled up into a little ball. "Yet, anyway."

"Took us for ever to find this place." Hoops said as he walked in with his brother Score and two others. "We miss the fun."

"Not yet." Gilda said as she walked over to them. "You tell anyone?"

"Only those who want a piece of the action." Hoops said as the door was kicked down and flames filled the entrance."What the F@ck?"

"HERE'S GHOSTY!!!!!" The Rider bellowed a students began to panic as he whipped his chain in the air. "Don't worry I'm not gonna kill ya, I'M GONNA MAKE YOU SUFFER!!!!" He cackled as he grabbed a student and threw him to the side as students backed away. "Now then, one of ya has more innocent blood then the rest of y'all." The Rider said with a southern accent as students whimpered. "Ya shoulda known that with me in town, any innocent blood shed by people like yerselves, I'll hunt ya down." The Rider said as he looked at Gilda. "I'd say you should run, but....I'd catch ya anyway." He said as Gilda began to run as the Rider swung his chain at her. "YOU.....GUILTY!!" He said as the chain wrapped around her and he started pulling her closer as students began to run out of the building.

"I'm sorry, please!" Gilda screamed as she struggled to break free as the Rider picked her up. "Can we take this out?"

"Funny, I asked Grimstone the same thing, and guess what?" The Rider said as Gilda looked at him worried."We never did." The Rider whispered as two orange dots took form in his eye sockets. "Your soul is stained with the blood of the innocent, feel a fraction of their pain." The Rider said as Gilda began to scream as her eyes slowed turned into black orbs and began smoking as the Rider dropped her.

"T-Thank you." Sunset said through tears as Rider helped her up. "I think I need to go to the hospital."

"No need." Rider said as he placed his hand on her and flames cover her shoulder. "Better?"

"A little." Sunset said she limped behind rider as they left. "Again, thank you."

"Want me to take you home?" Rider asked Sunset who shook her head.

"I'll manage." Sunset said as Rider stared at her. "What?"

"You're homeless, aren't you?" Rider asked a Sunset looked away. "I'll take you somewhere safe." Rider said motioning her to follow her.

"Where?" Sunset asked as she followed him.

"Only the people who stand by you during this." Rider spoke as Sunset smiled as the got on the bike. "Also, if things weren't so bad, I'd say Merry Christmas."

---???---

"Ah, your back 17."A Hydra agent said as the shadowy figure walked in. "What is your report?"

"Shield is crawling all over the city."17 said as he approached a capsule. "Also, There is a Ghost rider allied with Grimstone."

"Our leader will be most please with this report." The agent said as the capsule closed for a moment and reopened as 17 stepped out wearing a black jump suit, which revealed his metal arm, and his face, he had jet black hair with a yellow streak, and reddish blue eyes ."Anything else?"

"Almost had a run in with the Avengers."17 said as the agent groaned with disgust. "and that wall crawling menace."

"Of course they brought in the Spider." The agent said as they left the room. "Is that it?"

"Yes, want me to deliver the report?" 17 asked as the agent handed him a tablet. "Want me say anything to him?"

"Tell him we've figured out how to get his strength back." The agent said as they walked down a corridor. "The device for it will be ready soon."

"I'll let him know."17 said as they stopped in front of a door. "Wish me luck." He said as he entered the room. "Sir, here's the report from my scouting mission."17 said as he approached a man slouching in a throne like chair staring out a window. "Also, I bring good news."

"It better be good." the man rasped before coughing. "What is it?"

"Our scientist have figured out a way to get your strength back."17 said handing the man the tablet. "It shall be ready soon."

"Excellent."The man said chuckling as 17 turned to leave. "How is.....Crimson?"

"Don't know, Don't care."17 said stopping in his tracks. "I wanted to kill him, but that honor belongs to you,"

"Wise choice." The man said grabbing a cane and stood as he began approaching the window. "I'll inform Red Skull of your success."

"Yes sir." 17 said as the man scrolled through the device. "Anything else..Lord Tirek?"

"That will be all 17." Tirek said without looking up. "You are dismissed, Hail hydra."

"Hail hydra." 17 said before leaving. "It's matter of time." He muttered to himself as he closed the door.

Feelings?

"Here we are." I said as me and Sunset stopped in front of Crimson house. "You're old friends are here."

"How can you tell?" Sunset asked as I gave her dead panned look. "Oh...Nevermind." She said nervously as we got off the bike. "You don't know how much this means to me with all this help you're giving me."

"It pains me to see how all these people are treating you." I said as we approached the door. "If I didnt say anything, Rider would've killed everyone in that room." I said as I opened the door and looked at Rarity and the others. " You have five seconds to explain why you're here."

"Whoa, calm down Blizzard, they're just here to talk." Rainbow said stopping me. "What happened to you Sunset?" Rainow asked noticing all the bruises.

"I'll be fine." Sunset said as Crimson lead her to a chair. "But why are they here?" Sunset asked glaring at her former freinds.

"We came to apologize, we are terribly sorry for how we treated you." Rarity spoke up as Sunset looked away. "But who did this to you?"

"Gilda." I said speaking up. "I took care of her." I said as Crimson glared at me. "She's not dead......Hopefully." I muttered the last part. "Anyway, I miss something."

"Two agents were killed recently." Crimson said as I looked at him shocked. " Fury informed me it was Hydra."

"Who?" I asked in confusion. "Who the f@ck is Hydra?"

"Nazis, to put it bluntly." Crimson said as we left the room. " but that's not all."

"Well don't leave me hanging." I said as Crimson sighed. "There's more going on here, isn't there?"

"A few years ago, someone in our family disappeared." Crimson said as I leaned against the wall. "Someone close....My son." Crimson said sadly as I looked at him surprised. "I won't get into the details, but he was taken by Hydra when he was very young."

"Sounds like eyepatch wasn't doing his job." I said as Crimson looked at me. "I bet you worked with my dad and shield at the time, So if you worked with shield, shouldn't that mean that they should've been protecting your family?"

"It wasn't his fault, the hospital my son was born in was a Hydra base." Crimson sighed. "After he was born, the docter took him, then sometime we were told that he was gone, they told us he was dead."

"Want me to help find him?" I asked concerned. "Sounds like you need help with this one?"

"But where would we start?" Crimson asked as I shrugged. "The one clue we have is a video of him, and the hospital and that's it."

"I could look around town for clues." I said as I heard laughter come from the living room. "Sounds like the made up, also where's Spitfire?"

"Left with Fury a little while before you arrived." Crimson said looking at his watch. "Which was about a half hour ago."

"So how did these agents die?" I asked crimson shrugged.

"Your guess is as good as mine." Crimson said as we walked back towards the living room. "He left that information out."

"Figures." I said rolling my eyes as Rainbow looked at me and motioned for me to follow her as she walked past me. "I guess she needs something."

"Nothing funny." Crimson said as I followed Rainbow. "I'll know."

"It's not like I'm going to F&ck her." I said to myself smirking as Crimson glared at me. "You didn't hear that."

"I assume Crimson told you what happened?" Rainbow asked as I nodded. "I wonder what else he's hiding?"

"He'll tell you in due time." I said as we sat on the bed. "So, what's up?"

"You probably heard us laughing during your conversation, right?" Rainbow said as I chuckled. "I guess that a yes then, Sunset forgave them, so we got talking, and Rarity asked if Sunset bonded with you."

"Rarity said what?" I asked confused as Rainbow explained again. "Doesn't Sunset already have a Boyfriend?"

"You mean Midnight?" Rainbow asked as I shrugged. "They're close friends, hopefully they'll get together."

"Yeah, Plus, I see her no more than a friend really." I said as I looked down at the floor. "I'm going out a limb and say, she told you 'bout our brief conversation outside the nurses office a few days ago?" I asked as Rainbow nodded blushing. "I meant it, I really do care for you."

"You d-do?" Rainbow asked as I nodded. "For how long?"

"A few years after we met." I said as Rainbow smiled. "But now....."

"But what?." Rainbow asked concerned. "What's wrong?"

"Deep down, I know you see as a monster." I said as Rainbow placed a hand on my shoulder. " When I was gone, lots of people had taken me in, but when the devil put the rider in me, they turned their backs on me, that's why I've been on the road for so long."I said as I felt a tear roll down my cheek."Then my life went down hill from there, I was being hunted, I couldn't stay in one place for no longer than a few days, not even a week, then someone would find out what I was and report me."

"You're not a monster to me." Rainbow said quietly as she laid her head on my shoulder as I sighed. "I care for you too."

"You're brother would not be happy hearing this conversation." I said as Rainbow snickered. "So....how do we tell him that we have feelings for each other?"

"Leave that to me." Rainbow said winking as I laughed as she loked at her phone. "Shoot, it's getting late."

"I'll take you home." I said as we left the room. "If you want?"

"I don't mind." Rainbow said as I noticed Crimson still glaring at me. "I think he's trying to set you on fire with his mind."

"More like pop me out of existence." I said as we laughed as Crimson narrowed his eyes. "I guess everyone else went home." I said as i noticed Sunset was a sleep on the couch. "I guess she told Crimson."

"Yo Crimson." Rainbow said as Crimson snapped back to reality. "I need to get going home."

"I'll take you home." Crimson said as Rainbow looked at me.

"Actaully, Blizzard offered to take me home." Rainbow said as I nodded. "Also, is it okay if he came over for dinner on Christmas?"

"That's up to Mom and Dad." Crimson said glancing at me as I looked away whistling. "Just let them know why you were late?"

"I will." Rainbow said as out her jacket on. "I'll be outside."

"I'm watching you." Crimson said as my eyes flashed orange as I flipped him off as I walked out. "Merry Christmas to you too Rider."

"Sorry about that." I said as my eyes turned back. "Grimstone and Rider really don't like each other do they?"

"Let's just say when I see a flaming skeleton I expect them to not talk.... PERIOD!" Grimstone said as he partially took over Crimson who rubbed his eyes coming back to reality.

"You have no idea." Crimson said chuckling. "The dinner Rainbow mentioned is on Christmas eve, I hope you'll be there."

"If it's okay with your folks, then, yeah I'll be there." I said as I stuffed my hand into my pockets. "Any luck?"

"I might have a lead." Crimson said. "A lot of the pictures posted were from Sunset phone, but as the girls were talking one of them asked about this pictures."

"It's possible that someone could've taken her phone." I said as Crimson nodded in agreement. "Anything else?"

"After what happened, Rarity and Applejack mentioned then spent a lot of time with family." Crimson said a is snapped my fingers. "What?"

"That's the clue we've been looking for." I said as Crimson began to think. "Someone in their families posted those pictures."

"And I think I know who." Crimson said as I opened the door. "I'll see you tommorrow."

"You got it." I said as Rainbow waited by my bike. "You ready to go home?"

---Spitfire---

"Any clues on who this Hydra agent could be?" Spitfire asked Fury as he drove. "Or are you still looking for clues?"

"According to some footage we found, this agent is.....unique." Fury said as Spitfire looked at him confused. "The weapon he killed Hobbs and Willaims with, seemed to form out of his arm, kinda like a transformer."

"Never figured you to be the Transformers type." Spitfire said jokingly as Fury scoffed. "Anyway?"

"So the footage showed the agents arm turning into a gun of some sort." Fury said as he turned down a road. "What concerns me is, how did they get this kind of tech?"

"Good point." Spitfire said as Fury glanced in the mirror. "That's the fifth time I've seen you look in the mirror, we being followed?"

"Yep." Fury said as Spitfire looked back. "I think it might You-Know-Who."

"I think so." Spitfire said as she watched vehicle starting to get closer. "You might want to speed up."

"I was thinking the same thing." Fury said as slammed on he gas peddle as Spitfire hung onto the handle of the door. "Try following us now." He said as he looked in mirror as the vehicle slowly faded into the darkness. "I don't think they were following us."

"LOOK OUT!!!" Spitfire shouted as a black jeep slammed into them. "That was a distraction."

"I know." Fury said struggling to keep the car straight as they were slammed into again. "What do they want?"

"Us obviously." Spitfire said as she pulled out a gun. "You drive, I'll shoot."

"What do you think I'm...(SMASH)" Fury was cut off as the jeep slammed the again, pushing them closer to the side of the rode. "HANG ON!!!" Fury shouted as the jeep slammed them one last time as he turned out to control and flipped over and rolled down the road.

"Gonna.....feel that one tomorrow." Spitfire groaned as Fury breathed heavily. "You okay?" She asked as the jeep came to a stop. "Where'd the gun go?"

"It flew somewhere!" Fury said as he groaned in pain as the car door was heard opening as 17 stepped out of the jeep wearing his hydra suit. "I can try to call for back up."

"Good idea." Spitfire said as the passenger door was ripped off and she was pulled out. "AND HURRY!!!" She shouted as 17 threw her against the dirt road.

"SPITFIRE!!!" Fury called as Spitfire struggled against the hydra agent. "THIS IS DIRCETOR FURY, I NEED BACK UP!!!" Fury shouted into the radio only to hear silence. " Work d@mn it."

"GET OFF!!!" Spitfire shouted as she kicked 17 back as she got up. "Let's tango."

"That is ill advised." 17 spoke as his hand turned until Flint Lock pistol. "You are to come with me Agent Spitfire."

"Not after what you did to my son." Spitfire said as she swung a punch at the agent which was followed bang a she yelled in pain as she clutched her leg as blood began to roll down it.

"I will not ask again." 17 said grabbing her by the neck and picking her up a she yelled in pain. "Come with me.....or die." He said aiming the gun to her head as she whimpered in pain as the gun turned back into a hand. "This is 17, I have the target." He said as he spoke into a communicator inside his helmet. "Returning to base." He said as he grabbed a grenade from his belt and pulled the pin and tossed it to the flipped car. "Mission success."

"No..." Spitfire whispered as the car exploded. "YOU MONSTER!!!"

"I'm no monster, I'm a beast." 17 said throwing her into the back of the jeep. "One by one, they fall." 17 muttered as he jumped into the driver seat and sped down the dirt road as Spitfire hit her head and blacked out.

Old friends

:---Hydra base---

"Ugh my head." Spitfire groaned as she was blinded by bright lights. "Where am I?"

"Take a guess." A voice said as as Spitfire blocked her eyes from the light. "I'm impressed that 17 followed orders to the letter." The voice said as Spitfire looked up and saw a man wearing a black trench coat as he turned around, keeping himself steady with a cane. "Should I introduce myself?" The man said as Spitfire eyes widened in fear as she looked at the man.

"Tirek?" Spitfire said in fear as Tirek smiled evilly."You're alive?"

"Indeed." Tirek said before going into coughing fit. "But I'd be in better condition, if it wasn't for your blasted husband and task force twelve."

"You tried to nuke a city." Spitfire said as she tried to get up but only to yelp in pain as she held her leg.

"I'd advise against standing up, 17 did quite a number on you." Tirek sneered. "I'm surprised he let Fury live, but he had orders."

"So another Hydra super soldier?" Spitfire asked Tirek who only looked at her as he laughed. "What's so funny?"

"17 is no super soldier, he is a cyber soldier." Tirek said as Spitfire rolled her eyes. "He is....perfect, so to speak."

"Let me guess, the first sixteen were failures." Spitfire said jokingly as Tirek nodded. "Oh."

"We had plans on making another, but 17 was just perfect." Tirek said as he leaned on his cane. "Most of the subjects, either went mad, died from the operations, or had constant flash backs of their past."

"So, this 17 is the only one left?" Spitfire asked as Tirek nodded. "Why are you telling me all this?"

"Becuase, you won't leave here alive once we are done." Tirek said as he walked out of the cell. "Also, you better hope that Crimson's old friends are still around, because they're next on our list." Tirek said as he laughed evilly.

---Crimson's home/Underground worshop---

"She would've called by now." Crimson said to himself as he worked in his secret underground workshop. "Probably busy." He said as the gadget he was working with zapped him. "FACK!!!!"

"Don't let cap here you say that." A voice said chuckling as Crimson stopped working immediately. "He doesn't like that kind of language."

"Only a handful of people know about this place.." Crimson began.

"And only one of them has the key." The voice said as he snapped his fingers causing Crimson to turn around.

"Hey Tony! Been what three years?" Crimson said as he greeted his friend. "How's Pepper?"

"She's fine, she's making sure everything's going smoothly while I'm gone." Tony said picking up one of Crimson inventions. "You know my offer still stands for you to work with me."

"And my offer still stands for you to join me as a teacher. Just imagine it the Demon King and Iron Man teaching robotics and engineering." Crimson said as he spun around in his chair.

"Eh I'm not really good with kids." Tony said as he pulled over a wheeled chair.

"Well well well if it isn't the talking tin can." Grimstone said as he partially took over.

"Good to see you two doggy. Have you been a good boy?" Tony laughed.

"Oh ha ha." Grimstone said as we all laughed.

"So why are you here Tony?" Crimson asked.

"Well Fury said that you needed some help with a video." Tony said as he motioned to the screen. Crimson played the video for Tony to watch. Tony looked in astonishment as he watched the agents lose their lives. "Well that surely was interesting." Tony said as he rubbed his eyes.

"Yeah no sh!t" Grimstone commented.

"So the main problem I see here is how was he able to manipulate the cybernetics in his arm because it obviously isn't flesh." Crimson said as he balanced a pen on his lip.

"Well like you said it is obviously cybernetics and it seems to be comparable to the arm structure of the Winter Soldier. We need to take into assumption that Hydra still had the technology they created from the blueprints from the stone in Loki's staff." Tony added.

"Or from the attack with the New York battle." Grimstone commented.

"True." Tony said.

"Well what if this person's limb was either severely damaged during an accident of some sorts or maybe something happened at birth." Crimson stated.

"Wait I think I may know who this may be." Tony said as he looked down at the table.

"Yeah I know what you're thinking. Maybe they did a stunt like they did with Cap's friend Buckie. Also the most likely candidate is....my son." Crimson said as he began to feel emotional.

"You gonna be okay man?" Tony asked.

"He'll be fine just shock as usual." Grimstone replied causing Crimson to nod his head.

"Hold on got a message." Tony said as his phone buzzed.

"Everything okay?" Crimson asked.

"Uh yeah everything is okay. Who said it wasn't okay? Hehe..." Tony said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"You're a terrible liar Tony" Crimson said as he grabbed Tony's phone.

"I warned you" Tony said as he started rolling away in his seat.

---Message---

Fury is in the hospital with critical injuries and agent Spitfire was taken hostage.

DON'T TELL CRIMSON! Orders directly from Fury.

---End Message---

"SON OF A B!TCH!!!" Crimson yelled as he gripped the phone so hard causing it to turn to nothing but shards.

"Don't worry about the phone I can buy a new one." Tony joked as Crimson walked over to a car elevator.

"Hop in." Crimson said as he pressed a button causing multiple cars to pass on the elevator.

"Crimson. Buddy I don't think it would be good for people to see me riding around in a red cadil..." Tony began.

"Nah I'm not taking out my baby. Today we're taking out the spoiled grandchild." Crimson said as he began walking over to neon blue McLaren P1 as he clicked a remote over his shoulder to open the ramp leading to the road.

"Oh thank you god." Tony said as he ran over like a kid going into a candy store.

---Blizzard---
~Sugarcube~

"So, any ideas who Anon-A-Miss could be?" Pinkie asked as I glared at her. "What?"

"I'm debating on weather I should slap you or not." I growled out as Pinkie gave me a confused look. "Still don't fully trust Sunset yet?"

"Oooh, that's what you meant." Pinkie said as I slapped her up the side of her head. "HEY!!!!"

"Spirit of Vengeance, remember?" I said as Pinkie nodded. "Now that's settled, I know who Anon-A-Miss is, but the others won't like it."

"Won't like what Darling?" Rarity asked as the rest of the rainbooms, minus Sunset, sat down.

"Who Anon-A-Miss really is." I said as Rarity gave me a hopeful look. "What?"

"I for one, would like to know whoever this wench is and give her a piece of my mind." Rarity said as I sighed. "So who is it?"

"Crimson was the one who actually figured it out, did some hacking here, a little something over there, also it helped that one of them made the mistake of sneaking into his classroom while he was there." I stated.

"Just tell us already." Rainbow said annoyed.

"Apple bloom, Sweetie belle, and Scootaloo."I said as Rarity gave me a surprised look. "Well you asked."

"Know why it wouldn't be them." Applejack argued as I groaned. "My little sister would never do that."

"It's true." A young girl with red hair said approaching us followed by two other girls. "We're Anon-A-Miss."

"I'll take my leave." I said standing up and leaving. "I'll catch you guys later." I said as Apple Bloom began to tell them what happened.

---17---

"Hey Daring, have you seen my phone anywhere?" A man with dark blue hair with a red streak asked as he looked around.

"Did you check the car?" A women with dark grey hair asked as she came down the stairs.

"I heard it ring a second ago." The man said as he looked under the couch. "Where could've it had gone?"

"You're always losing that thing Shadoc." Daring joked as Shadoc groaned. "Maybe you left it in your office?"

"Hopefully." Shadoc said as he ran up the stairs. "Thanks honey."

"It's what I do." Daring said laughing.

"Please be in here." Shadoc muttered to himself as he looked around as he spotted his phone. "About time." He said as he unlocked it. "Huh, Crimson called." He said as he began to listen to the message, but only to hear silence. "Odd."

"Agent Shadoc Wingfeather, Decendant of Janner Wingefeather, One of the very few born with the blood of anneirian." 17 said from the shadows as Shadoc looked around quickly. "Friend of Crimson Beat, Married to Daring Do........Member of Task Force Twelve."

"Who are you?" Shadoc asked as 17 stepped out of the darkness. "Should've known you'd be a Hydra agent." Shadoc spoke as his eyes glowed purple and a ball of energy formed in his hand. "What do you want?"

"You found something many years ago."17 said as he circled Shadoc. "It was during a raid of a hydra base in Germany that you found something very..rare."

"I don't know what your talking about," Shadoc said quickly as 17's hand turned into a Flint Locke pistol as he aimed it at Shadoc. "You think that will kill me?"

"It killed Nazico with no problem." 17 spoke as grief took over Shadoc. "Now then, this item you found, what was it?"

"It was...it was the blood of Captain America." Shadoc said sadly. "According to our research, it could've been used to remake the super soldier serum."

"I see your smarter then you look." 17 spoke as he lowered his weapon. "Where is it?"

"I'm not going to just hand it to you." Shadoc said with anger as 17 chuckled. "What so funny?"

"You will hand it over to me." 17 spoke as he looked towards the desk. "If you value her life."

"Don't. You. Dare." Shadoc said with rage.

"I'll ask one last time, Where is the serum?" 17 asked aiming his gun at Shadoc. "Tick Tock Shadoc."

"Very well." Shadoc said as he walked over to his desk and opened a door to reveal a safe. "What do you have planned exactly?"

"I'm not going to kill you, so I'm not going to tell you anything." 17 said as Shadoc opened the safe and took out a metal ball. "Is that it?"

"Yes." Shadoc said as 17 took it and stared at it the began to leave. "Will that be all?"

"Tell Crimson, his past has caught up with him." 17 said as he closed the door behind him.

"What have I done?" Shadoc whispered as he buried his face in his hands as a bang shot out followed by a scream. "Oh no" Shadoc as he ran out of his office. "DARING!!!!"He called as he approached the stairs and saw his wife laying on the floor.

"H-help." Daring said weakly as she held a hand to her stomach as a red spot began to spread as Shadoc ran over to her. "Please, help me."

"It's going to be okay." Shadoc said as he picked her up. "You're going to be okay."

"B-behind you." Daring said as Shadoc turned around and was met with the end of 17's gun.

"I'll send Crimson your regards."17 said as he fired the gun.

The one and only

"So what's the plan?" Tony asked as Crimson smirked. "I take it that you have something planned at least."

"Back before Grimstone came along, I was part of a task force with shield for a few years." Crimson said. "It was me and four others."

"Task Force 12, I remember Fury mentioning something about it." Tony said as he looked out the window. "He also told me that he shut it down."

"Grimstone happened." Crimson said as he sighed. "Only three of the other are still alive, Northwest helped me and a friend start the team, but he died along with his wife a few years back."

"Blizzard's their son, right?" Tony asked as Crimson nodded. "Who the others?"

"Stromm, Nazico, and Shadoc." Crimson said as a sad look appeared on his face. "We were the best of friends, we once raided a changeling base outside of Nashville with some new shield recruits...."

"I read about that mission." Tony said accidentally interrupting Crimson. "None of the recruits made it back alive."

"Fury new the danger, but he sent them with us anyway." Crimson said angrily. "He blamed us for what happened, me especially, so he shut down our team, once in awhile two of us would get together and stop some changelings, but not as much anymore."

"You mentioned Nazico and Shadoc, aren't they the Wingfeather brothers?" Tony asked as Crimson looked at him. "So you got with work with royalty, neat." He said as silence fell between them. "So...Where are we going exactly?"

"Shadoc happens to live here in Canterlot. Every now and then we go out for drinks." Crimson said as he turned down a street. "Hopefully we can get to him before......Oh no." Crimson trailed off as he noticed an ambulance in front of Shadoc's house.

"Well that's not good." Tony said as Crimson stopped the car and got out.

"Shadoc, what happened?" Crimson said running up noticing his friend as Daring was rolled out of the house on a stretcher.

"Hydra happened." Shadoc said as the peramedics lifted the stretcher. "They almost killed Daring, tried to kill me."

"How many?" Crimson asked as Tony jogged over to them.

"Just one, but he just wasn't any hydra agent." Shadoc said with worry. "His arm...."

"Had the ability to transform into a gun?" Tony asked as Shadoc nodded. "It's the same guy that killed Hobbs and Williams."

"Hobbs and Williams are dead?" Shadoc asked as Crimson nodded sadly. "Jaysus, that not good, they helped form the team."

"You think this agent is targeting members of task force twelve?" Crimson asked.

"Most likely, he mentioned he took out my brother sometime ago." Shadoc said as Crimson sighed sadly. "That just leaves Stromm."

"The weakest of us." Crimson said as Tony stared at a rooftop across the street. "What ya looking at?"

"I think someone's watching us." Tony said as the Shadoc and Crimson looked at the roof. "WE KNOW YOUR THERE!!!" Tony shouted as a figure stood up and fired at them. "GET DOWN!!"

"That's the agent." Shadoc said as they ducked behind Crimson's car. "He took what he wanted."

"What did he take?" Crimson asked as a bullet bounced off the car as Shadoc glanced at him. "Oh no."

"Mind filling me in." Tony said as he covered his head from another bullet.

"On one of missions we found something, Fury wanted it." Crimson said as he peeked over the car. "The blood of Captain America."

"Why would he want caps blood?" Tony asked.

"Super soldier serum." Shadoc said as his eyes turned purple. "I'll rip him to shreds." Shadoc said as he formed a ball of energy and threw it at 17. "I'LL F@CKING KILL YOU!!!!" Shadoc yelled in rage as he vanished in a plume of mist and reappeared in front 17 and kicked him off the roof. "You mess with the bull, you get the horns." Shadoc jumped off after 17

"I should've realized who you are and that it was foolish to try to kill you in an ordinary way." 17 said as he stood up. "I won't make the same mistake twice."

"I'd like to see you try." Shadoc said as his hand turned into claws. "I was born with the soul of Yurgun, King of the sea dragons."

"And I was born and turned into the perfect hydra soldier." 17 said as he aimed his gun Shadoc. "I have orders to kill, and I'm going to obey those orders one way or another....(WHAM!!!!)

"You're not going to kill any more people." Tony said fully suited in his armor as he pinned 17 to the ground. "I suggest you surrender."

"I never surrender." 17 said as he broke free from Iron man's grip and slammed him into the ground. "Perks of being a cyber soldier, It comes with super strength."

"Perks of living in Canterlot city, we have a Ghost Rider." Crimson said as loud roar was heard and flaming chain wrapped around 17. "What took ya?"

"NOT NOW!!!!" The Rider roared as he flung 17 across the ally. "You killed lots of people didn't ya?"

"Only those I've been told to kill." 17 said as Shadoc took a step forward but Crimson stopped him. "Even those who got in my way." 17 said as Crimson glared. "Don't worry, Spitfire isn't dead....Well, not yet anyway."

"Where is she?!" Crimson yelled as he clenched his fist and his eyes started turning red and black.

"I'm afraid thats for you to find out." 17 said chuckling as the Rider growled. "An avenger, a ghost, a demon, and a dragon, whatever shall I do?" 17 said mockingly. "As much as I'd like to stay and chat, I have a deliver to make to my leader."

"And who would that be?" Iron man asked as 17 looked at Crimson. "Crimson?"

"Just like your son, you thought he was dead." 17 said as Crimson charged at him as Grimstone took control and slammed a fist into the wall behind him."Does the big bad wolf want to play?"

"I'LL RIP YOU TO SHREDS!!!" Grimstone roared as 17 laughed. "Laughing in the face of death?"

"Take my mask off, then you'll see." 17 said as Grimstone removed his mask.

"No... no I though it was true but I didn't want to believe it..." Crimson said as he partially regained control. "Son?"

"The one and only." Flint said kicking Crimson back. "As much as I'd like to kill you, I have orders not too."

"What did they do to you?" Crimson asked as Flint scoffed. "What did hydra do to you?"

"Perfected me." Flint said as his gun changed and a white glow came from the barrel of the gun. "Now get out of my way." Flint said as he aimed the gun at him. "I'd hate to disobey orders."

"Does your mother know?" Crimson asked as Flint scowled.

"Just like you, she's dead to me." Flint said as he fired the gun.

"I'm sorry Flint." Crimson said as the Rider tackled him out of the way as the bullet hit the Rider.

"D@MN IT, I ONLY HAD THE ONE ANGEL BULLET!!!" Flint yelled in rage as Shadoc charged him. "I guess melee will work." Flint said as he dodged Shadoc as he pulled out a white glowing dagger. "Chrsyalis wasn't the only one with Angel blood."

"Rider, you okay?" Crimson asked as I turned back to normal as I yelled in pain.

"The bullet had angel..ACK.. Blood on it." I said as I gripped my leg. "I guees it can hurt spirits too."

"Tony get him out of here." Crimson said as Iron man picked me up. "Take him to my lab."

"What about you?" Iron man asked as Shadoc grabbed Flint and rammed him through the wall.

"I'll make sure he doesn't let Yurgun get in control." Crimson said as ran towards the fight as he let Grimstone regain control.

"Shadoc, don't kill him." Grimstone said as Shadoc looked at him and roared. "Don't let Yurgun take control."

"What do you think I'm doing?" Shadoc said as his skin turned into shiny grey scales and wing shot out of his back. "But, try and stop me from killing him."

"Don't say I didn't warn you, COME HELL WATCHER!!!" Grimstone said his sword appeared as Shadoc slammed 17 into the ground. "Shadoc, that's enough."

"Yes, listen to the demon." Flint said evilly. "Kill me, he tears you to shreds."

"You planned this." Shadoc said as Flint grunted in pain as Shadoc applied more pressure. "You see, I'm the only one who can keep up with Grimstone."

"THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" Grimstone yelled as he punched Shadoc off him. "YOU, STAY HERE."

"As if." Flint said standing up as he picked his mask up off the ground as he activated his communicator. "Mission successful, the two titans are going at it."

"Return to base." a voice said from the communicator as Flint began to walk away.

"This has been fun gentlemen." Flint said as he walked away. "Have a nice day."

"FLINT!!!" Grimstone yelled as Shadoc slammed him into the ground and blew fire out of his mouth. "I guess we're doing this the hard way."

---Rainbow---

"I wonder what Blizzard's up to?" Rainbow asked no one in particular as she and Green Song walked to Crimson's house.

"Probably hunting somebody down." Song said as Rainbow shrugged as she spotted Iron Man landing in front of her house carrying something. "Is that Iron Man?"

"Isn't he friends with Crimson?" Rainbow asked as Song shrugged as Tony walked inside the garage. "Let's find what he's up to." She said as they ran towards the garage as the door to the lab was opened. "Crimson has a lab?"

"Um...yeah." Song said as the entered. "He never told you?"

"Not on bit." Rainbow said as the walked around. "I knew he liked to make stuff, but this is just awesome."

"Mr. Stark?" Song called a she noticed his helmet on a table. "Hello?"

"Stay where you are." Tony said stepping in front of them. "I'm sorry, but you can't go any further."

"What's wrong?" Song asked as Rainbow looked behind Tony.

"Is that Blizzard?" Rainbow asked as Tony sighed. "Blizzard?"

"He's hurt, bad." Tony said as Rianbow pushed passed him. "If your brother doesn't deal with his problem, he could..."

"He could what?" Rainbow asked a she looked at him. "What happened?"

"Hydra apparently got their hands on Angel Blood." Tony said as Rainbow covered her mouth as she gasped. "For all I know, Blizzard dying."

"Wait where's dad?" Green Song asked as she looked around.

"He's back at Shadoc's house fighting that hydra agent." Tony answered. "Wait what is that sound?"

"I don't know but it sounds like a swarm of angry bees." Rainbow said as she began looking around.

"Wait where's his orb?" Green Song asked as she looked around frantically.

"Uh I found it, but somethings wrong with it." Tony said as he found it lying under pillows in a bowl.

"Oh no we need to get to him now." Green Song said as the orb began cracking. Then without warning the orb just shattered into pieces.

"Jarvis take the X-18 suit and take care of Blizzard while we go see what's happening." Tony said as he stepped into his suit.

"Will Blizzard be okay?" Rainbow said scared.

"Don't worry about him Mr. Stark has given me the medical suit that will allow me to make sure he is perfectly fine once you return." A computerized voice said as a red and white suit began forming itself out of a briefcase.

"Thanks Jarvis. Now hold on girls." Tony said as he grabbed Rainbow and Green Song under his arms and flew towards Shadoc's house at top speed.

---Shadoc's House---

"RRRAAAAGGGGHHHHH" Yurgun yelled as he began slashing at Grimstone wildly.

"Yurgun let him have control again you d@mned gecko!" Grimstone yelled as he tried to dodge the oncoming onslaught.

"You're one to talk you mangy mutt you know the only way to bring back Shadoc and neither of you are willing to go that far!" Yurgun laughed.

"Don't make us do it we both know it won't end well." Grimstone said as he popped his broken wrist back into place.

"Well either you die or I leave here and kill everyone in this town until I find that twerp." Yurgun announced.

"I won't let you kill anyone!" Grimstone yelled as he sucker punched Yurgun and sent him flying into his house.

"Nice punch wolfie." Yurgun said as he rubbed his jaw. "Well you better make your decision quickly because if you don't I will start with those two." Yurgun said as he pointed upwards to Tony who was carrying Rainbow and Green Song.

"DON'T YOU DARE!!!!" Grimstone and Crimson yelled at the same time with pure utter rage in their voices as their body was covered in a bright red light which shot into the air releasing great heat.

"Now the real fun begins!" Yurgun yelled. "You two girls may want to pay attention and see what he really is capable of." Yurgun screamed at Rainbow and Green Song.

"What does he mean?" Green Song said as they were getting prepped to land.

"I don't know, but it doesn't seem to-" Rainbow began before she was cut off by a atrociously loud roar.

"When the world began, I cleansed it with fire. When human life began, I made examples of those who opposed me. When the world cried for relief, I showed my dominance. When the world tries to fight me, I will cleanse the world and start from anew." Crimson and Grimstone said in unison as their skin began to break apart and they grew in size. "BIOMERGE!!" They both yelled as they turned into a giant armor scaled wyvern with neon green eyes.

"So you finally went that far eh?" Yurgun said as he raised eyebrow.

The wyvern just stood there and growled.

"Dad are you okay?" Green Song said as she looked at what was once her dad.

"RRRRRRAAAAAHHHHHHH" The wyvern screamed into the air as a giant bolt of lightening struck it.

"What are you gonna do with that little bug za--" Yurgun was cut off as a giant bolt of green lightening that emanated from the wyverns tail struck him directly in the chest launching him into the wall causing him to pass out.

"Bro snap out of it!" Rainbow screamed as she walked in front of the wyvern.

"Don't Rainbow it can and probably will kill you!" Tony yelled.

The wyvern then charged at Rainbow, but stopped only inches away from her face. Looking her directly in the eyes.

"Please Crimson stop this..." Rainbow said as she tried to reach her hand towards him.

The beast snarled showing its toxic green metallic teeth.

"I don't want to hurt you. I just want my brother back." Rainbow said as she began to cry as she finally placed her hand on the side of the wyverns head.

The wyvern then slowly moved his head away from her hand as what looked like a tear rolled down the side of it's cheek.

"Crimson?" Rainbow said.

Then in a bright flash of light the beast was gone and standing in its place was a man who was covered in a skeletal armor that looked like a wolfs skeleton that was a dark red with flaming purple orbs in the eye sockets. Then the man turned around showing who was under the armor.

"Dad what's wrong?" Green Song said as she walked over next to Rainbow.
"I'm sorry, but I am not the Crimson you once knew. You may call me Apocalyptus." Apocalyptus commented as he turned around only to reveal trails of tears that looked to be made out of blood flowed down his cheek. "I have caused all of you pain that should not have been experienced. And for that I am truly sorry. Our journey together ends now I will continue this fight alone. Goodbye." Apocalyptus said as he turned around and the wings of the wyvern burst out of his back as he flapped once and was launched into the air.

"Wait don't go!!!" Rainbow and Green Song yelled as he flew away.

"Save your breath he isn't coming back.." Tony said as he rubbed his eyes. "Let's clean this place up."

The 4th

---Hydra base---

"How much longer?" Flint asked as he stared at a machine. "Tirek is not exactly known for his patience."

"Just a few more hours." A scientist said as she typed at a computer.

"The sooner, the better." Flint said as the agent entered the lab. "Well?"

"Crimson is no where to be found." The agent said as Flint smiled to the news. "And Shadoc has been detained."

"Have you informed Tirek?" Flint asked as the agent nodded. "Is that all?"

"Your new orders, straight from Red Skull himself." The agent said as he handed Flint a file. "This target is....Unique."

"Now we're striking at the heart." Flint said as he smiled evilly. "Current location?"

"Canterlot city, the Avengers are there, so watch your back." The agent said as Flint nodded. "This mission is different as well, you are to use any means necessary to bring your target back alive."

"Understood." Flint said as he followed the agent out of the room. "When am I due to leave?"

"As soon as you are ready." The agent said as they went in separate directions.

---Blizzard---

DONT LOOK BACK!!!! A voice shouted in my mind

"No." I muttered as I tossed and turned.

RUN SON!!!! I heard my Mother shout as sweat rolled down my face. RUN!!!

"No!" I said louder.

BLIZZARD!!!!! my Father shouted as an image of the ceiling collapsing on my parents flashed inside my mind.

"NO!!!!" I shouted as I shot up and hit my head on a lamp hanging above me. "Ow." I muttered as I rubbed my and looked around and noticed I was in a lab. "Rider?"

~Way hey drunken whaler, way hey drunken whaler~ the Rider sang drunkenly as I groaned SOLDIER, YOUR OUT OF UNIFORM, get some pants on.....zzzz

"Da f@ck?" I muttered as The Rider snores faded away. "At least he's quiet." I whispered as I noticed Rainbow with her head resting on her arms as she slept a nearby table.

"Good you are awake." A robotic voice said as I yelped and fell to the floor. "My apologies."

"Thanks for the scare Tony." I muttered as the suit of armor approached me. "I'm not going to attack."

"I am Jarvis, Mr. Stark is currently upstairs keeping an eye on Green Song." Jarvis said as I raised in eyebrow at him.

"Okay then." I said as I noticed I wasn't in my shirt and jacket. "Where's my shirt?"

"On the chair over there."Jarvis said pointing. "Lunch will be arriving soon."

"Pizza?" I asked as Rainbow woke up with a yawn. "Morning sleeping Beauty."

"Good to see you're finally awake." Rainbow said as she stood up and stretched. "You won't believe what...."Rainbow trailed off as her faced turned beet red. My gawd, you could grind meat on those. She thought to herself.

"Erm Rainbow?" I said as Jarvis walked over to her and waved his metal hand in her face. "She acts like she's never seen a guy without a shirt." I said as I slipped my shirt over my head.

"Huh what?" Rainbow said as I laughed. "You say something?"

"Never mind." I said as Rainbow gave me a suspicious look. "Anyway, what did I miss, other then Crimson going missing."

"How do you know already?" Rainbow asked.

"I can't sense Grimstone anywhere, which means he's gone." I said as we left the lab. "How's Green Song taking it?"

"Not well." Rainbow said sadly. "And honestly, neither am I."

"He'll be back." I said as I placed my hand on her shoulder as a tear rolled down her cheek as we hugged. "He's probably been through worse than this." I said as we let go of each other.

"You're probably right." Rainbow said as we walked in the living room, to see the rest of the Avengers. "Did I forget to mention the Avengers wanted to talk to you?"

"I'm in a good mood to talk." I said as Captain America approached me. "You guys can relax, the Rider is out of service for a little bit."

SEX MAKES BABIES!!!!! The rider shouted as I face palmed. THEY DID THE MONSTER MASH!!!! Rider began singing.

"What's he saying?" Rainbow asked worried as I groaned.

"You don't want to know." I grumbled. "Anyway, you need my help or what?"

"You could say that." Cap said as he crossed his arms. "Tony here told us about what hydra has been doing here."

"If you're asking for me to help you find their base, I honestly don't know where to start." I said as Thor appeared behind me as Rainbow backed away." He's going to hit me with the hammer isn't he?"

"And why would I do that?" Thor asked as I shrugged.

"After what Rider did to your buddy Hulk." I said as Thor raised his hammer. "Does Crimson have coverage for super hero damage?"

---Crimson---
~Ireland~

Wake up dude we got work to do. A calm voice said.

What're you doing idiot get up!! A angry voice commanded.

"Morning to you too." Apocalyptus muttered as he stood up brushing him self. "Where am I?"

"In my field." A voice with an Irish said as looked around and saw a man holding a rifle. "Tell me who you are and why you're in my field or I'll blow your balls off."

"I'm looking for someone." Apocalyptus said as he looked at the man as the man took a step back in fear as he saw glowing eyes. "His name is Stromm, heard of him?"

"That I have." The man said he lowered his weapon. "He's in a small town not too far from here, about a three hour walk."

"Thank you." Apocalyptus said as the man nodded. "You wouldn't have a cloak by any chance."

"Yes actually, and I have no problem Giving it to you." The man said as he motioned for the demon to follow him. "It's back at the house, you'd put Ireland in a state of panic with eyes like those."

"Geez thanks." Apocalyptus said sarcastically as the man chuckled. "What is your name?"

"The name Sean, and yours?" Sean asked.

"Apocalyptus." Apocalyptus responded.

"I'll call you Apoc then." Sean said as Apocalyptus groaned. "Why are you looking for Stromm?"

"He's an old friend, and I need his help." Apocalyptus said as the approached Sean's house.

"Well good luck with that." Sean said as they entered the house. "Wait here, don't want you scaring the family."

"I understand." The demon said as Sean disappeared into the next room.

I hope Green Song's alright. Crimson voice echoed inside Apocalyptus' mind.

"She'll be fine, Stark and Blizzard are with her." Apoclypus said as he sat on the arm of the couch next to him. "I'm more worried about Stromm."

He's pretty stubborn sometimes. Grimstone groaned.

"Agreed." Apocalyptus said as Sean reappeared holding a brown cloak. "Thank you again."

"It's no problem, to find your friend, ask around at taverns or inns at the village." Sean said as Apocalyptus put the cloak on. "You might get lucky and see Stromm at one."

"What do you mean?" Apocalyptus asked.

---Sometime later---
~Irish village~

"Five taverns and three inns." Apocalyptus groaned as he entered the sixth tavern. "He'd better be here."

"Welcome to Glippers, what can I get ya?" The bartender said as Apocalyptus sat at the bar.

"I'm looking for someone." Apocalyptus said as the bartender cleaned a mug. "Goes by the name of Stromm."

"You friend of his?" The bartender asked as Apocalyptus nodded. "Hey Stromm, the man claims to be friend of yours."

"What's his name?" A voice called as Apocalyptus turned around.

"Well I went by Crimson Beat, but now it's Apocalyptus." Apocalyptus said as he approached Stromm. "Good to see you old friend."

"What do ya want Apoca?" Stromm asked bluntly. "Better question, What hole did ya dig yourself into this time?"

"Still holding a grudge?" Apocalyptus asked as he sat down at Stromm's table. "That was years ago."

"Stills feels like yesterday." Stromm said as he chugged down his drink. "Shouldn't you be dealing with Chyrsalis instead of bugging me?"

"She was brought to justice a few weeks ago." Apocalyptus said as Stromm rolled his eyes. "Don't believe me?"

"I believe ya." Stromm said as he looked at his empty mug. "But that doesn't answers my question, why are you here?"

"Hydra's returned, and they took Spitfire and killed three agents of shield." Apocalyptus said a Stromm sighed. "Before the team we shut down you retired, we need your help once more."

"I hate to break it to ya, but me fightin' days are over, go ask North or one of the other guys." Stromm said as he leaned back in his seat. "Or are they still mad at you too?"

"Your sister and her husband died six years ago." Apocalyptus said as Stromm sighed. "I'm sorry."

"Chysalis?" Stromm asked sadly as Apocalyptus nodded. "At least she's behind bars now, thank you for letting me know."

"None of us have seen you in almost ten years." Apocalyptus said with a hint of anger. "And that's all you have to say."

"I left for a reason, and only me sister knew why, I'm glad she took that secret to her grave." Stromm said as Apocalyptus growled. "Don't try with me Apoca, my word still stands."

"Very well." Apoca said with a sigh. "How's life been?"

"Peaceful." Stromm said as he crossed his arms. "You and Spitfire have any kids, well other than..."

"We have a daughter, her name is Green Song." Apocalyptus said as Stromm chuckled. "Also, Flint was one of the reasons I need to talk to you."

"Didn't he die as a baby?" Stromm asked as Apocalyptus sighed. "He's alive?"

"And with hydra, He goes by the name 17 sometimes."Apocalyptus said as Stromm stroked his chin.

"So Hydra's still making Cyber Soldiers." Stromm muttered to himself. "Well this changes things." Stromm said as Apocalyptus looked at him confused. "I'll help, but I'm not fighting if I don't have too."

"What made you change your mind?" Apocalyptus asked.

"Your son is still alive, and you want him back." Stromm said as he stood up and grabbed a white coat. "If you said it was a family matter, I would've said yes without a second thought."

"Did you not here me when I said Spitfire was taken." Apocalyptus said as Stromm rolled his eyes.

"No offense, but I never trusted her." Stromm said as he paid the bartender. "Being a shield agent and all."

"She's my wife, I trust her. And besides she knows how to keep 'family' secrets" Apocalyptus said as they left the tavern. "Still have your old suit?"

"It's at me house." Stromm said as they walked down the street. "But like I said, me figthin' days of over."

"Listen, Crimson is very sorry for what happened that day." Apocalyptus said as Stromm sighed. "He didn't...."

"He didn't know that me wife and son were in that hydra base?" Stromm snapped in anger. "You're lucky I'm helping you get your son back, I don't want him to suffer anymore then I did."

"What do you mean?" Apocalyptus asked as Stromm looked away.

"As grateful as I am that Crimson and the team saved me before I joined with shield, you should've at least got my family out of there first." Stromm said sadly. "and left me to die."

"Is this the beer talking?" Apocalyptus asked. "Because if it is, you need to lay off."

"Beer hasn't done anything to me for years." Stromm said as the continued down the street as music filled the air. "Tell me, before you came for me, did you try to save my family first."

"We did, but they thought we were hydra agents and....." Apocalyptus trailed off as he sighed. "Your wife put a gun to her head and your son was killed by an explosion."

"Their minds were broken." Stromm said sadly as a tear rolled down his cheek. "Hydra performed experiments on all of us....What number did you son go by?"

"17, Why?" Apocalyptus asked as Stromm gave him a worried look. "When we met him, he was sane."

"Did he call himself perfect?" Stromm asked as Apocalyptus nodded. "Then things got a lot more interesting."

"Why are you saying?" Apocalyptus asked as they stopped in front of Stromm's house.

"17 was not the first perfect one." Stromm said as he opened the door. "There was one other, Cyber Soldier 4." He said as he flipped a switch as the room flooded with light. "I may be retired, but I'm still keeping track of hydra." Stromm said as Apocalyptus looked at around the room, which was filled with pictures and maps showing hydra activity.

"I'm impressed." Apocalyptus said as he looked at a map of Canterlot City, and noticed a big red 'X' on a section of it. "What's with this?"

"A recent hydra base, if anything that's where your family will be." Stromm said as he took off his coat. "You'll need an army to get in there."

"We have a hulk." Apocalyptus joked as Stromm groaned. "Anyway, can you tell more about this other cyber soldier."

"Better yet, I can tell you where he is." Stromm said as he leaned on the table. "He'll be more then willing to help you."

"Where can I find him?" Apocalyptus asked with a raised eyebrow as Stromm rolled up his sleeve to reveal a white metal arm. "I figured as much. You were always bad at keeping secrets."

"Aye, I'm the 4th." Stromm said with a sigh. "If you want your son back, you'll need my help."

"Well we're pressed for time so I'll have to buy you that beer later." Apocalyptus said jokingly. "So what's the plan?"

---Canterlot city---

"Hey Thor, Weren't you keeping an eye on Green Song?" Tony asked as Rainbow handed me and ice pack. "Where is she?"

"She wished to be left alone and went for a walk." Thor said as he stared down next him as I glared at him. "My apologizes."

"Mother F@cker." I muttered as I winced in pain. "You should've hit Rider, not me."

SCREW YOU!!!! The Rider shouted now sober.

"Would you have felt the pain?" Thor asked as I shook my head. "I'll keep that in mind."

"Quit whining you big baby." Rainbow said as I glared at her. "You're a Ghost Rider, you should have walked it off."

"That's if the Riders in control." I said as Rainbow laughed as someone knocked on the door.

"I'll get it." Rainbow said as she opened the door to reveal Pinkie in panicked state. "Hey Pinkie....You alright?"

"MEN WITH GUNS, SHOOTING DOWN TOWN, GREEN SONG TAKEN AND...." Pinkie said panicked as Rainbow pulled her inside. "Oh hey the Avengers."

"Pinkie, what happened again?" Rainbow asked as Pinkie took a deep breath. "Slowly."

"So me and Rarity were at the downtown mall shopping when I spotted Green Song all sad and alone, so I went to cheer her up." Pinkie said with a smile. "Then this black van pulled up and these guys with guns jumped out and started shooting, they all wore masks so I couldn't see what they looked liked."

"Is everyone alright?" Cap asked as Pinkie nodded." Can you describe what these mask look liked?"

"Not just masks, but full uniforms, each one had a red symbol on it with a skull and tentacles." Pinkie said as each of the Avengers glanced at her. "I'm guessing it might've been hydra, but during the commotion, one of them had a metal arm and it tuned into a gun of some kind and he shoot at Green Song." Pinkie said as her hair dropped. "He hit her, then just took her."

"So hydra has Green Song now?!"I said as I stood up. "Things have just gone bad to worse."

Crimson is going to be soo pissed when he finds out... Rider said in a quiet tone.

Tirek reborn

"We have two options." Stromm said as he slipped on his mask."We go by plane or boat."

"What are you talking about?" Apocalyptus asked as Stromm picked up a cylinder device.

"To get to canter lot of course." Stromm said annoyed. "I know a man at the airfield, he can let us take a plane.....for a price."

"How about by portal?" Apocalyptus asked as a portal opened beside him. "Would that work?"

"Indeed." Stromm said as he approached the portal. "If me kidneys switch sides I'll put an angel bullet in your head."

"Why do you hate me so?" Apocalyptus joked as Stromm sighed and stepped through. "Lighten up."

"Maybe I should let your family die." Stromm said bitterly as he stepped into a snowy alley. "Don't tell me to lighten up, some wounds can't heal."

"You've always had a temper." Apocalyptus sighed as he followed behind him. "But if you let them die, I won't hesitate to kill you."

"We'll see about that." Stromm said as the left the alley. "Canterlot city, I'd say it's good to be home, but that would be lying."

"Blizzard will probably be glad to see you." Apocalyptus said as Stromm spat on the ground. "You won't believe what's happened to him."

"He's an inhuman just like North?" Stromm asked as Apocalyptus shook his head. "Then enlighten me."

"He's a Ghost rider." Apocalyptus said as Stromm smiled."You're taking this well."

"Because me nephew 'as joined the family business of being a Bounty hunter, so to speak." Stromm said as the walk down the sidewalk. "I was one, his mother was, almost everyone in our family was a bounty hunter of some kind."

"The rider is a bounty hunter?" Apocalyptus questioned.

"What do you think happens to all the souls he takes." Stromm said as Apocalyptus shrugged. "Are ya that dense, they're payment to Lucifer, but sadly, the rider gets nothing in return."

"You seem to know a lot about riders." Apocalyptus said. "What are you hiding now?"

"Nothin'." Stromm said as Apocalyptus rolled his eyes. "You can blame me sister, if you could, when she met North, she thought he was a rider because of his fire abilities."

"That actually make since." Apocalyptus said as they stopped in front of his house. "This is it, home sweet home."

"Just as I remembered it." Stromm said as they approached the house and Stromm noticed a suit of armor in the driveway. "Tony's here?"

"Not just him." Apocalyptus said as he pointed at the window as he spotted cap with his back facing them. "I guess the whole team's here."

"You said hydra took Spitfire, right?" Stromm asked as Apocalyptus nodded. "Who else could they have taken?"

"Green song." Apocalyptus said quietly as his flaming eyes grew larger and became blue while Stromm nodded. "You know where that hydra base is?"

"Let's tell the others." Stromm said he motioned towards the door. "Ladies first."

"Jack@ss." Apocalyptus said as he opened the door and walked in. "Where's Green song?"

---Blizzard P.O.V---

"Working on it." Tony said as he looked at Apocalyptus. "Hello to you too by the way."

"Who's your friend?" Cap asked as Stromm stood behind Apocalyptus as he removed his mask. "Can we trust him?"

"Uncle Stromm?" I asked as Stromm smiled.

"My, you've grown since I last saw ya laddie." Stromm said as he walked over and grabbed me into a headlock. "Pratically a man."

"You know this guy?" Rainbow asked as I nodded. "Who is he?"

"Rainbow, meet my uncle." I said as Stromm let go of me. "Stromm."

"Wait, Stromm?" Hawkeye asked. "As in Stromm Wind of task force 12."

"And you must be Agent Barton." Stromm said with a smirk. "Also know as Hawkeye."

"How do you..." Hawkeye began to ask.

"Don't even bother asking." Tony said as Stromm huffed. "You can never get a straight answer when it come to that sort of thing."

"Speaking of straight answers where is Crimsons daughter?" Apocalyptus asked.

"She was taken my friend." Thor said as he hanged his head in shame.

"Oh what a pity.... And I assume it was your fault?" Apocalyptus asked with a smart tone.

"Yes it was I will take any punishment you deem necessary." Thor said as he laid Mjolnir down at Apocalyptus's feet and got on one knee with his head aimed towards the ground.

"This weapon of yours Thor is very exquisite isn't it. Whoever wields it wields the power of the Norse god of thunder." Apocalyptus said as he started twirling something in his hands. "I think I will become the new god of thunder."

"What do you mean new god only those who are deemed...." Thor began as he looked up and trailed off.

"Worthy by both Odin and Mjolnir." Apocalyptus said as he inspected the mighty hammer in his hands.

"But how?" Thor said as he stood up and looked in pure utter disbelief.

"Well Thor I have no intent of being the god of thunder yet so this will suffice." Apocalyptus said with a smile as he smacked Thor with Mjolnir which sent him flying through the window with a loud thunder crack. "Look whose the puny god now." Apocalyptus commented as he tossed the hammer to Thor.

"Did you have to do that?" Cap asked.

"No I didn't but I did now didn't I?" Apocalyptus said as he grinned.

"That was not something good people should do." Cap replied.

"Oh I'm sorry Mr. America knower of what all is right and wrong let me explain this in liegeman terms. How would you act when you found out the girl you were sworn to protect by your maker was not only taken, but taken while this so called 'God' watched over her!" Apocalyptus said in anger as his teeth began turning into small dagger-like teeth.

"I understand what you're going through but this can be..." Cap began.

"No you don't understand you were simply asleep when those you loved died. I am wide awake and they will not die on my watch!" Apocalyptus said as he calmed down.

"Which is why I am here to tell ye where they might be." Stromm said as he walked forward and patted Apocalyptus on his shoulder.

"Wait you know where the base is?" Tony asked.

"Aye I do." Stromm said as he smiled.

"Where is it Stromm?" Apocalyptus asked.

"It's somewhere near Canterlot City and it's underwater." Stromm said as he walked over to the window and looked out."Hope ye packed yer swimsuits."

---Flint---

"Finally." Tirek said as Flint handed him a glowing blue syringe."The serum."

"Sorry about the long wait."Flint said as Tirek raised an eyebrow."It took a bit longer then expected."

"And getting this as made up for that."Tirek said as he examined the syringe."Leave me be, it's time for the world to know of my return." He said as Flint nodded and left as Tirek poked the syringe into his arm and injected the serum."Hail....Hydra." Tired grunted as he felt the serum take affect."Heh..Ha ha HAHAHA!!!!" Tirek cackled as his eyes glowed blue as his voice got deeper."I am...REBORN!!!!"

Rescue

"He sure did a number on her." A voice that sounded far in the distance said as Green Song slowly opened her eyes as she felt herself be carried. "When do you think she'll wake up."

"Soon hopefully." A familiar voice spoke as Green Song looked up as she gave a fearful look at her attacker. "Speaking of which, welcome back to the land of the living."

"W-where am I?" Green Song asked in fear." W-who are y-you?"

"I am 17, and you currently a prisoner of Hydra." 17 spoke as the two men holding let her go as she struggled to stand. "Anymore annoying questions?"

"Where's my mom?" Green Song asked glaring at him as the men chuckled. "Wait until my father finds out what you did, he'll...."

"We've planned for your father....Crimson, correct?" 17 asked as he motioned for the men to follow him. "As for your mother, you shall see." He said as one of them pushed her to move. "Don't even bother trying to escape." He said as Green Song looked out the window and noticed that they were underwater. "You'd suffocate before you reach the surface."

"I'll keep that in mind." Green Song muttered as they turned a corner. "So....is 17 your real name?"

"That is none of your concern." 17 said annoyed. "Now please, remain silent, or else."

"Or else whaAHHH!!!" Green Song screamed in pain as electricity coursed through her body.

"if I recall, electricity doesn't mix well with changeling biology, now does it?" 17 said as Green Song whimpered. "I have orders not to kill you, but these men...Don't."

"I'll be quiet." Green Song said quietly.

"Good girl." 17 said as the continued down the hall for what seemed like forever for Green Song. "You two are dismissed, I'll take it from here."

"Yes sir." The men said as the walked away.

"Keep moving." 17 said as Green Song squeaked as she followed 17. "You may talk if you wish."

"What's it like living underwater?" Green Song asked as 17 chuckled.

"I was perfected here." 17 said as Green Song looked at him confused. "I was given my arm and leg."

"You have a metal leg too?" Green Song asked as 17 nodded. "Must suck going through a metal detector?"

"You have no idea." 17 muttered as they stopped in front of a door. "Here we are, hopefully she'll calm down."

"What's the supposed to mean?" Green Song asked as the door opened and a Hydra agent stumbled out as his helmet was thrown at him.

"THAT B@TCH IS CRAZY!!!!!" The hydra agent shouted as he ran down the hall as the door quickly closed. "DUDE, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!!!!"

"Oh." Green Song said as the agent tripped. "What do you think will happen if you go in there?"

"Nothing." 17 said as his metal hand turned into his gun as he aimed it at her. "You lead, I follow."

"Yeah okay." Green Song said as 17 opened the door. "Hello?"

"TAKE THIS YOU NAZI FU..." Spitfire began but stopped as she held a pipe above her head. "Green Song?"

"Mom!" Green Song said as she ran and hugged her. "You're okay."

"I'm fine." Spitfire said as she dropped the pipe and returned the hug. "How did they get to you, your father..."

"He's disappeared, we have no idea where he went." Green Song said as tears rolled down her cheek. "Blizzard's hurt and.."

"It's going to be okay." Spitfire said as Green Song buried her head into her chest as she sobbed. "You..."

"Monsters, yes I know we've been over this." 17 said with a shrug as Spitfire moved Green Song behind her. "Relax, she's fine." He said as Spitfire picked up the pipe. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"Well...you're not." Spitfire said as she charged 17 how quickly moved out of the way and slammed her into the wall. "You were definitely trained."

"Indeed." 17 said as Spitfire swung downward as 17 grabbed the pipe. "Don't make this hard on yourself, and just stand down agent Spitfire."

"LEAVE HER ALONE!!!" Green Song yelled as she jumped on his back and grabbed his helmet as he tried to get her off. "A LITTLE HELP!"

"Keep him still." Spitfire said as 17 rammed Green Song against the wall, knocking the air out of her lungs as she remained attached.

"ENOUGH!!!!!" 17 bellowed as his sparks covered his hand as he grabbed Green Song and threw her off followed by something hitting the floor . "I have had about enough...." He trailed off as he felt something hit his foot.

"How important is your helmet?" Green Song wheezed out as 17 noticed his helmet was laying on the floor. "Mom?" Green Song asked as tears filled Spitfire eyes.

"It..It can't be." Spitfire said breathlessly as she stared at 17, her son. "Flint?"

"Flint is dead." 17 said as he kicked Spitfire back. "He died eighteen years ago, so will your daughter soon if you don't remain in your place." He said walking out as an agent walked to him as the door closed. "What's the word?"

"The serum worked." Tirek said with a booming voice as he approached 17. "Come with me 17."

"Yes my lord." 17 said as they walked down hallway.

"I have heard great things about you." Tirek said as 17 glanced at him. "How you follow orders directly, and efficiently I may add."

"Time is money, and so are resources." 17 said as Tirek smirked at his response. "The heroes will soon be upon us, what is our plan?"

"From what I've been told, Apocylptus has recently returned, correct?" Tirek asked as 17 nodded. "Excellent, Tell our best men to get into position topside, and get ready for battle."

"What of you sir?" 17 asked as Tirek walked away.

"I'll meet you there." Tirek said as he picked up a staff with two horns on it as 17 gave orders and left. "Time to get reacquainted."

---Blizzard---

"So what's the plan?" Cap asked as Stromm looked out over the water. "Stromm?"

"Blizzard, Thor, Cap, and Hawkeye, you'll be the team that gets Spitfire and Green Song out." Stromm said facing cap. "Apocalyptus, me-self, and tony, we're going to keep them distracted."

"What about us two?" Black Widow asked as she pointed at Banner. "I'm pretty sure you don't want the Hulk smashing through a underwater base."

"That's actually part of the plan." Stromm said as the base came into few. "Not all of it is underwater, just most of the labs and holding cells."

"So what do we do?" Banner asked as Quinjet hovered of the base as the cargo door opened. "Stromm?"

"Go crazy." Stromm said pushing Banner out, followed by a roar. "Romanoff, you stay with the jet, we may need a quick get away."

"Why?" Thor asked as Stromm gave him a nervous look.

"This is Tirek's base, he's still alive." Stromm said with a sigh. "So we have only one chance to get them out, or Tirek will kill them."

"So that's the plan then?" I asked as cracked my knuckles. "RACE YA!!!!" I shouted as I let the Rider out and jumped.

"Stick to the plan." Cap said as he and the rest of the Avengers followed.

"I need to see if Crimson's family is okay." Apocalyptus said as Stromm sighed as the fight began. "Let me go with Rider."

"I don't want you getting distracted." Stromm said as he activated his mask. "Plus, we won't be able to take Tirek alone."

"Not helping." Apocalyptus said as they jumped out. "DIE!!!!"

"HULK SMASH!!!!" The Hulk roared as he jumped and slammed his fist into the ground. "GRAHHH!!!"

"Never though I'd be fightin' with the Avengers." The Rider said as he swung his chain at a hydra agent. "I'll admit, it's kinda fun."

"I'll keep that in mind." Cap said as he bounced his shield of an agent. "Thor, think you can open the door?"

"With pleasure." Thor said as he threw his hammer and smashed the door open. "This way."

"We'll be back." Hawkeyes said as they ran through the door. "So how can we find them?"

"Already on it." Rider said as he ran down the corridor. "Luckly for us, their on the second floor."

"They'd better be." Cap said as they charged a group of agents. "Don't let your guard down, Tirek could be anywhere?"

---Outside---

"What happened to you not fighting anymore?" Apocalyptus asked as Stromm cackled as he fired at hydra agents.

"I'm not aloud to change me mind?" Stromm said as he dove behind cover to reload his weapon as Apocalyptus swung his sword at the enemy. "And honestly, I forgot how f@cking fun this was."

"That's the Stromm I remember." Crimson voice echoed inside Apocalyptus' mind.

"Ready for more fun?" Apocalyptus asked as Stromm readied his weapon. "I go high..."

"And I'll go low." Stromm said as he jumped up and fired at the closest agents. "Crimson's son is nearby."

"Where?" Apocalyptus asked as Flint tackled Stromm. "Nevermind."

"Stromm Wind, should've known you'd be behind this." Flint said as he held down Stromm. "I wish I was sent after you when I had the chance."

"Well, know's your chance." Stromm said as he shoved Flint off him and fired at him. "Bring it."

"Don't kill him." Apocalyptus said as Stromm nodded. "Now to find where Tirek is?"

"Right here." Tirek said appearing behind him. "Hello old friend." He said as Apocalyptus' eyes turned purple.

---Rider---

"Find them yet?" Hawkeye asked as he knocked a hydra agent out as Rider nodded. "Where?"

"Here." Rider said as he ripped off a door. "Spitfire? Green Song?"

"Rider?" Green Song said as he stepped in followed by Cap and Hawkeye as Thor waited outside. "You found us?"

"Thanks to a friend of Crimsons." Cap said as they lead them out. "Now let's get it to here."

"You do that." Rider said as he walked away. "I'm going after Tirek, I'll clear you a away to the Quinjet, but you get them out of here."

"Apocalyptus is probably already ahead of you." Cap said as they ran down the way the came. "Hope he hasn't already beat him."

"He hasn't." Rider said as the base shook. "It's only just begun."

"Good luck." Thor said as Rider nodded and ran up stairs leading to the surface.

---Topside---

"DIIIEEE!!!" Tirek bellowed as he swung his staff at Apocalyptus. "You're stronger than I thought."

"That tends to happen when an enemy from the past threatens you?" Apocalyptus said with a smirk. "You messed with someone's family, now you're going to pay."

"Isn't that Ghost Rider's job?" Tirek asking as a flaming chain wrapped around his neck and pulled him backwards.

"Well your not wrong." The Rider said as he dragged Tirek close to him. "Nice to finally meet ya."

"Sadly." Tirek said as he grabbed the chain and pulled it off and got up. "I don't feel the same way."

"Doesn't matter, imma kill ya now." Rider said as Tirek smirked. "You have something to say?"

"Have you ever stopped and asked why some people do what they do." Tirek said as Rider looked at Apocalyptus, who just shrugged. "Meaning, why do people do certain things, for example.....murder."

"Because they had a sad life." The Rider said as Tirek looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Since you brought up the subject, why are you doing this, targeting innocent people, kidnapping, and so on."

"For justice." Tirek said as the word 'justice' echoed through Rider's mind. "You see, this demon's host here has killed plenty of people, and since you're not doing your job, I took matter into my own hands."

That's not how Justice works." The Rider said as Tirek scoffed. "Justice has already been served for what Crimson has done, justice isn't kid-napping, torturing, or murdering innocent people." the Rider said as his flames started dying. "Justice is when someone is brought and put on trial for what they've done."

"And how would you know Rider?" Tirek asked as Apocalyptus charged at him. "You only know Vengeance."

"Before I was vengeance, I was...." The Rider trailed off as two blue glowing dots appeared in his eye sockets. "I was.....JUSTICE!!!!" The Rider roared as purple flames erupted from his body. "I AM JUSTICE!!!!"

"This is new." Apocalyptus said as the Rider swung his chain at Tirek as Apocalyptus held him down. "Together Rider?"

"No." Rider said as he tossed Tirek into a wall. "Let me get some hits in."

"I'm killing him." Apocalyptus said as Rider grabbed Tirek by the head and slammed him repeatedly into the ground.

"You know Tirek, letting Apocalyptus kill you is me being merciful." Rider said as Tirek groaned. "He's all yours."

"Thanks." Apocalyptus said as he summoned his sword. "Are they...."

"Safe? Yes." Rider said as Stromm approached them holding Flint over his shoulder. "Make it quick."

"I'm making this painful." Apocalyptus said as he approached Tirek.

"So which of your beasts are you going to kill me with this time 'Demon King'?" Tirek laughed as he stood up coughing up blood.

"Well I wanted to make this painful so how about I save you the pleasure of dying by my blade merely because I hate getting the blood of greedy pigs on it." Apocalyptus said as he threw the sword to the side causing it to burst into white flames and disappear.

"Oh you call me a greedy pig? Well you were the one who decided to trick and drag that angel to hell!" Tirek screamed as his eyes grew large with rage.

"I'm growing tired of your mouth." Apocalyptus said as he disappeared and reappeared behind Tirek with something pink in his hand.

"RRRAAAAGGGGGHHHH!" Tirek yelled as his mouth filled with blood because his tongue had been ripped out in an instant.

"Now Tirek let these precious waters flow over you and snuff out the fire of your soul." Apocalyptus said as his eyes suddenly turned blue.

Then the water surrounding them began to swirl around Apocalyptus as he roared out as his body began to change in multiple ways. After a couple minutes the water then evaporated and standing in the middle of it was a giant Leviathan. The long slender and smooth body was covered on top in scales that shined like pearls and an underside covered in purple bristly fur. The beast just stood there and glared at Tirek.

"Go on. Do it!!" Tirek screamed as he concentrated the power he had to regenerate his tongue, the beast only growled. "Fine I'll swing first!" Tirek yelled as he lifted his staff and fired a straight line of fire at the beast before him. Without a second of hesitation the beast let out a straight jet of water from its mouth that went directly down the center of the flames and hit the staff in the middle causing it to turn to splinters.

"You b@stard!" Tirek yelled as he ran towards the leviathan who replied by slamming its body down launching massive bubbles everywhere.

"Stop playing around Apocalyptus!" Rider complained.

"Shut it boy this is what a man must do te' avenge his family." Stromm said as he just looked at Tirek struggling to keep his footing.

"You are just playing around with me aren't you?!" Tirek yelled as he fell down on his rear while the beast walked towards him.

"For those of you with weak stomachs look away now!" Stromm yelled to the others who watched all around.

"You are too weak! All three of you! Crimson you care too much for your family. Grimstone you care too much for your pride. Apocalyptus you just want to exist. The three of you could never stop me even if yo-" Tirek began ranting only to be interrupted by a giant sharp purple claw stabbing through his abdomen.

"RRRRRAAAAAAHHHHH" The beast roared inches away from his face.

"Just remember this... 'When the sun dies and the moon stands on it's corpse the final beast of the four horsemen you possess shall be released without your consent!" Tirek yelled as his eyes flashed between black and white at a rapid pace. Then the symbol of yin and yang flashed on the beast's chest for an instant and then sunk into it's flesh and disappeared. "HAHAHAHAHHAH I WIN!!!!" Tirek yelled with such triumph in his voice. Suddenly with a quick turning motion the beast used it's jaws and claw to rip the madman in half as the beast threw the halves into the sea to be never seen again.
With a loud pop the leviathan then disappeared into foam that was blown away by the breeze and standing in the middle was the figure that had been there before.

"Let me see Spitfire and Green Song so I can rest." Apocalyptus said as his flames grew dim.

"DAD!!" A voice yelled a couple feet away from Apocalyptus.

"Crimson!!" Spitfire yelled as she followed Green Song who ran with a small limp happily to her father.

"AAAAGGGGHHHH!" Apocalyptus yelled as he suddenly was lifted into the air surrounded in a red light.

"It's okay everyone he's just saying goodbye!" Stromm yelled reassuring everyone.

"The deed is done and the request has been achieved and completed. I am no longer needed at this time so I shall return to the world between my two masters and shall slumber until the time I am needed once again." Apocalyptus said as the red light flashed once causing everyone to close their eyes.

"Crimson?" Spitfire said as she covered her eyes.

"Hey honey... I told you nothing could keep me away from you." Crimson said as he grabbed Spitfire's hands as she began to tear up.

"I was so worried that you would've been killed, I don't even know how he got to me so easily I feel like a terr-" Spitfire began rambling before she was cut off as Crimson kissed her with an intense passion.

"You talk to much." Crimson chuckled as he pulled away laughing. Then without warning he fell onto the floor and began to snore.

"He's done for a couple days." Tony said as he lifted him up and threw him over his shoulder.

"It's good to see you Stromm. Thank you for helping him." Spitfire said as she walked over to Stromm.

"Don't mention it 'e was very worried ya' woulda bit the dust by the time we got here." Stromm said laughing.

"I'm not that much of a weakling." Spitfire said as she playfully pushed his shoulder.

"Aye lassie that is true. You found yourself someone who will never let you down. You found your true soulmate." Stromm said as he smiled.

"Yeah you got that right. Now let's all go home." Spitfire said as she picked up Green Song and put her on her shoulders and began walking to the quinjet.

---Rider realm, Blizzards mind---

Well you were the one who decided to trick and drag that angel to hell!Tireks voiced echoed as Rider sat down on a chair that appeared out of thin air.

"Why does that sounds so familiar?" Rider asked no one in particular.

Falls...

~Long ago~
~The Fall of Lucifer~

"Keep them at bay!" A angel bellowed as angels and demons clashed. "Heaven must not fall!"

"Good work lieutenant." An angel with gold wings said landing next him. "Myself and Zarathos will take it from here."

"The young one?" The lieutenant asked with concern. "With all do respect Arch-angel, but are you crazy?!?!" He exclaimed as the Arch-Angel raised an eyebrow. "He may be the angel of justice, but he is still young and inexperienced with battle."

"Then this will be a learning experience." The Arch-angel said as he pulled out his sword. "Plus, he's enjoying it."

"HA HA!!!" An angel with blue wings shouted with joy as he jumped into the battle. "Go back to whence you came fowl demons!"

"Whatever you say Michael." The lieutenant groaned as they charged into the battle. "What's the plan?"

"We hold them off until the Maker decides." Michael said as the battle raged on. "Hopefully soon."

"You're referring to..." The lieutenant began as a hulking bipedal wolf demon landed in front of them. "Grimstone."

"WHAT'S UP B@TCHES!!!!" Grimstone bellowed with a grin as the two angels sighed. "Missed me Mikey?"

"No...no I did not." Michael said with a strained voice. "And please stop calling me 'Mikey', It sounds like a name from a children's book."

"Whatever you say." Grimstone said rolling his eyes. "So where's this so called 'Angel of justice'?"

"Right here." Zarathos said landing behind him. "So you're Grimstone?"

"Indeed I am." Grimstone said facing him. "So you're the new one?"

"I guess you demons are smarter than you look." Zarathos mocked as Grimstone chuckled.

"You're different then most of these angels." Grimstone said as Zaragoza smirked. "How about you join us and have some real fun?"

"Don't do it Zarathos." Michael said as Zarathos glanced at him. "You know what will happen."

"Michael's right, I can't do that." Zarathos said pulling out a blue flaming sword. "As much as I enjoy a party, I can not be apart of this one."

"Well this party is for grown ups we don't have a kiddie table. Oh well I guess there's only one role for you, but don't worry... IT'S TO DIE FOR!!!!" Grimstone roared as he pulled out a white and black sword of his own as Zarathos blocked it. "You wish to cross blades with me? The 'Savage Wolf' of the underworld."

"Enlighten me." Zarathos said as he kicked the demon back. "Come on then."

"I wish I didn't have to kill you." Grimstone said as Zarathos smirked. "You seem like fun to play with."

"Same here." Zarathos said as they clashed again sending sparks everywhere. "Let's make this last."

"Until when?" Grimestone grunted as he slashed his blade only to have Zarathos dodge his swing. "Lucifer will win."

"No, he won't." Zarathos said as a wave of white light burst from the temple above knocking back Lucifer and those who followed him. "Until we meet again!!!!"

"Indeed, but next time you will join us." Grimstone said with a smirk as he feel out of heaven with the others.

---Present---
~Christmas day-
<4 days after Tireks defeat>

"Merry Christmas!" Spitfire said as she opened the door as Soarin and Fleet Foot walked in. "Great to see you guys."

"You too Captain." Soarin said. "How's Crimson?"

"He's awake, but a little weak." Spitfire said as laughing came from the living room. "Stromm must be telling one of his stories again." She said as they entered the living room.

"Then He told me, 'TELL YA WHAT, STROMM?!? YOU CAN GIVE UP NOW, OR YOU CAN FIGHT IT OUT! Because I certainly can't do it without you, and I know you can't do it without me!'" Stromm said holding back a laugh. "Then I told him ...'I appreciate it, but look at what we're dealing with,' at the time we were dealing with one of Shadocs rampages, so I continued." Stromm said taking a deep breath then shouting." 'WE GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE! YOU GOTTA DRAW A F@CKING LINE IN THE SAND CRIMSON! YOU GOTTA MAKE A STATEMENT! You gotta look inside yourself and say, What am I willing to put up with today? NOT! F@CKING! THIS!'"

"We both had our butts handed to us that day. We spent the rest of the holiday weekend cleaning up while Shadoc slept it off."Crimson chuckled as Green Song rested her head on his shoulder. "Remeber when North took that piece of that puzzle back during training?"

"Who knew I had this set of lungs?" Stromm said pounding his chest.

"Not to forget that you yelled so loud that Odin himself heard ya." Crimson said as the group laughed.

"And he did." Stromm said with a smirk. "Apprantly he was sleeping too."

"So that's why he hit you?" Crimson said as he sighed. "Those were good times."

"Indeed, anyway anyone seen me nephew?" Stromm asked as he looked around. "He was here a second ago."

"He's outside with Rainbow." Green Song said as she sat up. "He wanted to talk to her about something."

"Those two make an adorable couple." Rarity said as Crimson glared at her. "Well its true."

"Calm down Crimson." Spitfire said as Crimson huffed. "You know it would happen sooner or later."

"I know, I know, I'm just worried about what happened with.....ya know?" Crimson said trying to find the words. "What was that kids name?"

"You mean Ryker?" Spitfire asked as Crimson nodded. "You know the same thing won't happen twice."

"At least he's behind bars." Crimson said as Stromm began to tell another tale.

---Blizzard---

"You had some interesting adventures." Rainbow said as we sat on the porch. "What was the strangest one you had?"

"It was in New York, I stumbled across a hideout of some kind. I let rider take a look because of a dark presence." I said as I sighed. "We looked and we stumbled across......A duck."

"What?" She giggled out.

"No joke, it was a humanoid duck called Howard." I said as we laughed. "So, the Rider said F@ck it, and left."

"That must've been really weird." Rainbow said as I nodded. "I never got to say this, but I'm glad you came back."

"I am too." I said as I looked up towards the starry sky. "Can I tell you something?"

"Something the matter?" Rainbow asked with worry.

"Everything's fine." I said as Rainbow sighed with relief. "Why did you forgive me so easily?"

"What do you mean?" She questioned as she raised her eyebrow.

"When I came back, I hid from you, I lied about what happened, and kept secrets from you." I said sadly. "Why?"

"Because deep down, I understood why you did it." Rainbow said resting her head on my shoulder. "You just wanted to protect me. Besides you seem to forget that my brother has a demon living inside of him and I forgave him."

"Thanks it really means....OW!" I yelped in pain as my head felt like I got hit with a bat.

"What's wrong?" Rainbow asked as I instantly felt better."Blizzard?"

"Hey rider, what the heck?" I asked but only heard a distinct whispering. "What's up she mentions Grimsto-."

SILENCE MORTAL!!!!!! The Rider bellowed as I grabbed the sides of my head. Then after a minute the demeanor of my mind changed. Sorry about that, I don't know what happened.

"You alright?" Rainbow asked as I rubbed my head.

"I-I'm fine, accidentally woke up Rider." I said as Rainbow snickered. "It's starting to get colder, want to head in?"

"Yeah, I'm starting to get cold too." Rainbow said as we stood up. "But first..."Rainbow said as she kissed me on the cheek as I blushed. "Look up." She said as she walked inside.

"Right, Mistel toe." I said as I smirked. "I made a good choice coming back."

---Christmas Night---
~Crimson P.O.V.~

"Ugh it's been a long couple da- OW WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" I said as I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder as I sat in the bed.

"For making me worry!" Spitfire said as she began tearing up.

"I'm sorry honey I didn't want to do it, but I didn't have a choice. He took you and almost killed Shadoc and his wife and after I realized who he was I couldn't contain myself when Shadoc threatened to kill him." I said as I looked down and started twirling my fingers.

"You know I could take care of myself I had traini-" She started ranting.

"I did to! I had training for years with some of the worlds best teachers! That still didn't prepare me for what happened with Chrysalis. I even trained and sparred against the Avengers multiple times and even won, but I still wasn't prepared. I couldn't let you go through that." I said as I started clenching my fists which started becoming white. She didn't say anything. "I was kept away from you for five years and even when I came back I still couldn't adjust to my job. I had to go through what no one should ever have to go through with that crazy b!tch. I almost got you killed and almost killed you when Grimstone took over my body." I said as I closed my eyes reminiscing on terrible times.

"Crimson you don't have to put that stress on you." Spitfire said as she sat next to me and held my hands.

"You say that, but I have almost lost you on multiple occasions and I don't want to have to think about what I will do if I did lose you." I said as I started tearing up myself.

"You don't ever have to worry about losing me. You're my knight in shining green armor, but my knight doesn't need to push himself to the limit." She replied as she lifted my head and wiped my tears away which made me chuckle.

"And I will always be your shining knight." I said as I kissed her forehead.

"You're right and my knight needs sleep." She said as she bopped me on the nose as she smiled.

"Yes my Princess." I said as I turned the lights off while we went back to sleep.

Hey Crimson something felt off earlier. Grimstone said as I closed my eyes.

What're you talking about? I asked.

Rider has been sending out a different aura ever since we fought Tirek. Grimstone said in a worried tone.

You don't think that he's reverting back to his old ways do you? I said in a worried tone.

I don't know, but we should keep on our toes and try to say my name as little as possible it may bring out the bad side in the state he's in. He replied.

Aye aye Captain. I laughed.

Good night soldier. Grimstone said as we both fell asleep.

Justice reborn

---Riders realm---

"Why did I snap at Blizzard?" Rider muttered to himself as he paced around a dark void. "And since when did I ever call someone mortal?"

"You really don't remember?" A voice called from the void as the Rider looked around. "The war?"

"You again?" Rider groaned as the voice chuckled ."And people say I'm annoying."

"Well they're not wrong." The voice said as Rider cackled.

"I try." Rider said as he calmed down. "So, what were you going on about, something about a war?"

"The angel wars to be exact." The voice said as the Rider crossed his arms. "When lucifer was cast out."

"Let me guess, I was on the losing side?" Rider asked. "I wouldn't be surprised." He added as the voice was silent. "I wasn't with Lucifer.....was I?"

"No....you were once an angel." The voice said as the Rider sighed. "They day you became the spirit of vengeance, was the day you were tricked."

"What.....What was my name?" The Rider asked sadly.

"You were called Zarathos, the Angel of Justice." The voice said as the Rider growled. "You remember?"

"I was sent to earth to walk amongst the mortals to learn from them." The Rider said quietly. "To protect them."

"Indeed." The voice said. "Do you remember who tricked you?"

"I do, and you do as well don't you?" The Rider asked as he turned to see an angel with blue wings standing behind him. "Right....Zarathos?"

"I do." Zarathos said clenching his fists. "The one who deceived me for his own personal gain."

"The Savage Wolf?" Rider growled as Zarathos nodded. "What's the plan?"

---Blizzard---

D@mn birds I thought to myself as I was awoken by the sound of chirping birds. "Just once, I would like to wake up on my own time." I said as I tried to move my arm, but noticed something was on it. "Better not be another rock." I muttered as I tried to move it again, but this time my attempt was followed by a groan and something tightening its grip around my arm, and that something, was Rainbow dash. "Oooooh Sh@t." I said fearfully as she slowly opened her eyes as gasped.

"Blizzard?" Rainbow asked nervously as she let go and blushed. "What are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here?" I said as we sat up.

"What are you doing here?" She repeated as I fell off the bed.

"This is not going to look good." I said nervously as I got up.

"No, look, don't panic." Rainbow said as I started putting my shoes on. "We didn't do anything."

"Still, I'm a little shy around your brother." I said as I slipped my jacket on. "I mean, seriously, why does the man have to be so intimidating?"

"Keep your voice down." Rainbow said as she hopped off the bed. "If we're lucky, we can sneak you down the stairs."

"Rainbow, are you okay?" Spitfire called from downstairs.

"Spitfire." Rainbow squeaked in fear as she ran to the closet. "Quick, hide in the closet."

"Rainbow?" Spitfire called again as I began backing towards the window.

"No no no no." Rainbow whispered as I opened the window and jumped out, followed by a thud. "Or do that."

"Hey Rainbow are you okay?" Spitfire said as she opened the door. "What was that loud thud?"

"H-hey Spitfire." Rainbow said as she started fixing the bed. "Uh, well..."

"It's freezing in here." Spitfire said as she went over to the window to close it. "Say, Blizzard didn't spend the night did he?"

"Wait before I answer where's Crimson?" Rainbow asked as Spitfire closed the window.

"Oh he's in the front yard changing a tire that popped in the middle of the night." Spitfire said as she looked out the window with a grin on her face.

"Oh he's busy okay... wait... did you say front yard?" Rainbow said nervously as she ran over to the window only to see that I landed right behind Crimson who had his earbuds in while he was fixing the car.

Sh!t Sh!t Sh!t. I thought to myself as I quietly stood up behind him.

"Blizzard! Run!" Rainbow whispered as she opened the window.

"Dum de Dum." Crimson hummed to himself as he opened the door in front of him and began looking for something in the floor board.

"Oh lord he's in for it now." Spitfire chuckled as she watched.

"What do you mean?" Rainbow said only to be answered by my screams as Crimson began chasing me around the yard with a long piece of rope.

"WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!!" I yelled as Crimson chased me.

"DUM DE DUM!!" Crimson sang as he threw the rope around my leg.

"I swear we didn't do anything!!" I pleaded as Crimson began hog tying me.

He didn't respond he just picked me up and carried me inside.

"Honey don't you think that was a lil too much?" Spitfire giggled as Rainbow sat next to her mortified.

"Maybe, I don't know, just wanted to have a bit of fun." Crimson laughed out as he sat me in the chair next to Rainbow.

"Wait did you two know?" I asked.

"Yep and I was the one who found the two of you asleep on the bed." Crimson said as he started pouring a cup of coffee.

"I swear we didn't do anything." Rainbow stated.

"It's okay I just wanted to have fun is all." Crimson replied.

"So now what?" I asked as I raised my eyebrow while I heard yawning behind me.

"Breakfast." A sleepy Green Song said as she walked over and sat down and laid her head on the table.

"I like her plan." Crimson said as he turned the stove on.

"We aren't going to be punished in any way are we?" Rainbow questioned.

"Oh yeah you are. Your punishment is this." Crimson said as he pulled out his wallet. "Here's five twenties. All I ask is bring back whatever is left and have fun."

"Wait what?" I asked as I looked at the money.

"Well Spitfire and I talked and she changed my mind." Crimson said with a smirk.

"And?" Spitfire said as she nudged Crimson's side.

"And I decided that I wouldn't have a problem if the two of you dated." Crimson said with a sigh.

Rainbow and I just sat there with our mouths open.

"What?" Crimson asked.

"Can you get this rope off?" I asked as I tried to free myself.

"Not until after breakfast because the punishment for the two of you for springing this on us suddenly is that Rainbow will feed you." Crimson said as he laughed.

"Uh I'm not sure if Blizzard would be fine with that." Rainbow said as we both blushed while they cooked.

"What is my life?" I muttered.

---Later---

"Rarity is going to flip when she finds out." Rainbow asked as we walked through town. "Embarresed?"

"I fell on a garden gnome." I said as Rainbow snickered. "Then got tied to a chair, and was fed like a baby, Honestly I've been through worse."

"Not surprised." Rainbow said snickering. "Concidering you've been all over."

"You don't know the half of it." I said with a smirk. "So, anything you what to do tonight?"

"There's a movie I've been wanting to see." Rainbow said as she shrugged. "Honestly, I haven't been a date since...." she trailed off as she looked away. "Nevermind."

"You okay?" I asked as Rainbow nodded. "Just like Applejack, I can tell when someone's lying."

"I'd rather not talk about it right now." Rainbow said as I nodded in understanding. "Don't get me wrong, it's just..."

"Does it have to do with that Ryker guy that Crimson mentioned last night?" I asked as Rainbow looked away. "I'll leave it be for now, but if you need someone to talk to, I'll listen."

"Thanks." Rainbow said as she looked at me with a small smile.

"Anytime." I said as we approached the park. "So, what's this movie you want to see?"

"It's a Daring Do movie." Rainbow said as we sat on a bench. "I've heard a lot of great things about it."

"Can't argue with that, I've been looking forward to it myself." I said as Rainbow sighed. "What's up?"

"I'm fine, it's just, this is how me and Ryker first started dating." Rainbow said sadly as I leaned forward. "You see, when I first meet Ryker, he was the silent type, hardly talked." Rainbow said as she rested her chin on her hand. "I got to know him and he seemed very nice, then we fell in love, heck even him and Crimson got along."

"With Grimstone in the picture? I guess that's possible sometimes." I said as I felt a sharp pain in my head, but ignored it. "You don't have to continue, if you don't want too."

"It's fine." Rainbow said as tears formed in her eyes. "Anyway, one day it was just us two at my house, we were watching a movie, none of my family was home until the morning, so he stayed with me, next thing he tried to....*sob*" Rainbow began to cry. "He.... did something very bad to me, and...."

"If I ever meet him, he's f@cking dead." I growled out as Rainbow rested her head on my shoulder as she cried. "Where is he now?"

"Some place called the Raft." Rainbow said as she sniffled. "What ever that is?"

"It's a prison for people with powers, mostly villains." I said as Rainbow sighed. "You going to be okay?"

"I'll be fine, it happened two years ago, but I still remember it." Rainbow said as I wrapped my arm around her. "I just needed someone to talk to about it."

"You're friends don't know?" I asked as Rainbow nodded. "I feel ya, holding something in for so long is difficult."

"Thanks for listening." Rainbow said as she sat up. "So, you still want to see that movie?"

"I'm ready when you are." I said as we got up and walked towards the movie theater.

---Rider realm--

"Ready when you are." Zarathos said as Rider sighed. "Problem?"

"It's my host, he's currently on date with a girl he likes." Rider said as Zarathos crossed his arms. "I don't want to ruin it."

"You seem to care for your host, more then most riders." Zarathos said as Rider nodded. "Why?"

"Don't know, maybe cuz he puts up with me, or for the fact he treats me like a friend." Rider said as Zarathos smiled.

"Very well, we can wait till your host is done, then we make our move." Zarathos said as Rider nodded.

---Blizzard---

"That was awesome." Rainbow said with delight as we walked out of theater. "Thanks for taking me."

"No problem." I said. "I'm glad you had fun."

"Hey guys." A familiar voice said as we turned to see Sunset. "You guys just get out of that Daring Do movie?"

"You bet." Rainbow said. "Are the others here with you?"

"They're waiting for me over there." Sunset said pointing towards the group. "Rarity noticed you guys sitting together during the movie, are you guys on a date?"

"Yeah, we are actually." I said as Rarity squealed. "I'm just going to ignore that."

"About time." Sunset said as me and Rainbow blushed. "I guess the big bad Rider, is a softie as well."

"Who ever said the Rider was a....." I trailed realizing something was off. "Speaking of Rider, I haven't heard a peep from him all day."

"Isn't he usually annoying you?" Rainbow asked as I nodded. "Maybe he gave you the day off?"

"Hopefully." I muttered as Sunset told us good bye and walked back to her friends. "You ready to head home?"

"Yeah." Rainbow said with a yawn. "It's been one heck of a day."

"You bet." I said as we laughed. "Think you can stay awake by the time we get back?"

"Hopefully." Rainbow said with another yawn as I chuckled as we began walking. "I had fun tonight."

"I did too." I said, after walking for awhile I started feeling a presence. "We're being followed."

"Bout time you noticed us." A man with a mask with two others said behind us. "Now, hand over your goods and no one gets hurt." he said pulling out a gun. "Please."

"You know saying please, isn't going to make us do it any more then we don't want too." I said as the man pulled the hammer back on the gun as other two surrounded me as Rainbow backed away. "I'll tell you this once, leave now or else." I said as I raised my hand.

"Or what?" The man said laughing. "Three of us, and only one of you."

"There's two actually." I said as I clenched my fist expecting fire to cover it, but nothing happened. "That's odd."

"Get 'em boys." He said as I was grabbed from behind and lifted up by one of the men and the other gabbed Rainbow by the neck. "Well you're a pretty one, ain't ya."

"LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!" I shouted as I struggled to break free. Where's rider when you need him?

"How about we take you with us...and have some fun." The man said as Rainbow gasped for air. "I'm not hearing a no."

"I SAID LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!" I bellowed in anger and kicked at the man holding me. "What are you, the hulk?"

"Some mutant buddies of mine actually." The man said cackling as Rainbow's struggles starting getting weaker. "Meet lock and load."

"Blizzard....help." Rainbow gasped out. "Please...."

"Anytime Rider." I said as Rainbow's eyes closed. "NO!!!" I shouted as lock howled in pain as a bright light covered us both.

"You should have listened to him." A voice not mine said as lock whimpered in pain as he gripped what was left of his arm. "Now you answer to me."

"And you are?" the man sneered as two blue wings shot from my back. "Great, another inhuman I suppose."

"Wrong, I'm not an inhuman." The voice said as it took control of my body. "Nor am I mutant."

"So what are ya then?" The man said as load growled. "Easy buddy, you'll get your chance."

"I'm what you can an angel." The voice said as it summoned a blue flaming sword. "I am Zarathos, the angel of justice, who long ago was deceived and cast into hell, now, I've returned."

"Don't care." The man sneered. "Get him load." He said as nothing happened. "Load?" The man asked as he noticed load running away. "Well, I'm screwed aren't I?"

"Indeed." The Angel said lifting his sword. "Guilty." He said which soon was followed by the mans screams of pain and red liquid flying everywhere.

Awakening

---Blizzard---

He's waking up!!! Rider yelled as I slowly opened my eyes. 'Bout time.

"What happened?" I asked as I sat up. "Hold on, where's Rainbow?"

Relax, she's fine. The rider said as I sighed with relief. and don't worry about the mutants, we made quick work with them.

"Who's we?" I asked worried.

Do you know who Zarathos is? Rider asked as I groaned. He kinda took over for about........four months.

"FOUR MONTHS!!?!?!?!" I shouted as stood up. "Who was it?"

My name is Zarathos. An unknown voice said as chills shot down my spine. I'm an angel.

"I know who you are." I said with venom in my tone. "What do you want?"

Grimstone. Zarathos said as I sighed.

"I can only handle one voice in my head." I said as I sat on the bed. "So one of you has to go."

Very well, but first I need a favor. Zarathos said as I groaned. Take me to Grimstone.

---Crimson's Classroom---

"How's Rainbow doing?" Spitfire asked as Crimson looked over papers in a quick manner as he sighed in response. "Still not doing well?"

"She misses him, a lot." Crimson said as he sat down. "She won't talk to anyone, not even Pinkie could get her to open up."

"I wish there was something I could do to help." Spitfire said sadly. "It's been four months, she should've said something about what happened that night."

"When she was found, I thought Rider was responsible for her being in the condition she was in." Crimson said. "But when she woke up, and told us that mutants attacked them, I felt bad and went to find him."

"No luck yet?" Spitfire asked as Crimson shook his head. "You'll find him, how hard is it to find a Ghost Rider?"

"Not that hard actually." Crimson said with a smirk which quickly disappeared. "Unless...."

"Unless what?" She questioned.

"We're not dealing with the rider anymore." Crimson said with worry. "We might be dealing with an angel."

---CHS---
~Spring carnival~

"Hey Rainbow." Sunset said as Rainbow sadly waved. "Let me guess, pinkie dragged you here?"

"Yep." Rainbow said as she avoided eye contact. "You hear about the staff popularity contest?"

"I'm pretty sure Ms. Luna won by a landslide on that one." Sunset said with a laugh as Rainbow shrugged. "You still miss him?"

"I'm still trying to figure out what I saw that night." Rainbow said as Sunset looked at her confused. "N-never mind."

"Please talk to me Rainbow." Sunset said sadly as Rainbow looked away. "I understand you were attacked by mutants, but right now, you need a friend."

"I just don't want Crimson to find out." Rainbow said as she looked at Sunset. "What happened that night, it happened so fast, and I'm afraid if Crimson finds out...."

"Finds out what, that rider grew wings and flew away?" Sunset asked jokingly as Rainbow stared at her. "That's what happened, didn't it?"

"That's the thing, the rider didn't kill those mutants, it was something else." Rainbow said. "He called himself the angel of justice."

"Now I understand." Sunset said knowingly. "You're afraid that if Crimson finds out about this angel, he'll go after him, and... that one of them won't make it back."

"Exactly." Rainbow whispered as Crimson walked up to them. "Hey."

"Rainbow I need to talk to you." Crimson said as Sunset walked away. "It's about what happened?"

"I told you, I don't want to talk about it." Rainbow said as she tried to walk away, but Crimson stopped her. "Just leave me alone."

"You saw the angel, didn't you?" Crimson asked as Rainbow looked at him with wide eyes. "Zarathos?"

"How do you know?" Rainbow asked.

"Grimstone was worried about this." Crimson muttered. "I've been trying to find Blizzard for awhile, turns out I was just going about the wrong way."

"What will you do?" Rainbow asked as she noticed Luna and Celestial step onto the stage. "I think it's about to start."

"Keep and eye for Blizzard." Crimson said as he walked towards the stage as he winced as if he had been hit. "If he's acting weird, don't be afraid to let me know."

"Sure thing." Rainbow said.

---Blizzard---

"What's going on here?" I asked myself as I stopped my bike in front of the school. "Anyway, so why do you want to see Grimstone?"

My business is my own. Zarathos said as I flipped the kickstand and got off my bike. So I suggest staying out of it.

"Kinda hard when I'm taking someone to their death wish." I muttered I was walked into the crowd as Zarathos chuckled. "What so funny?"

"You think you're still in control." Zarathos said as I felt myself warm up. "I'll make sure Rainbow doesn't get killed."

"What are..." I blacked out as the rider took control as my eyes turned orange.

"Don't make me regret this." Rider said as people cheered as he spotted Crimson on the stage. "Send the message."

---Crimson POV---

"Well I must say, this has been quiet the competition." Matilda said as the students cheered. "And it's time to announce the winners of the staff popularity contest."

He's here .Grimstone said as I started to scan the crowd. And he's strong.

"Well being trapped in hell for umpteen thousand years would probably do that to someone." I whispered as he spotted someone with glowing orange eyes. "There he is."

"For third place we have....Mr. Crimson Beat." Matilda said as she motioned towards me as I waved. "Second we have Principle Celestia, and for first we have Vice principle Luna."

"Thanks for the nominations." I said as a distinct low voice called from the crowd.

"The time is now... The sun has been cloaked in darkness." The deep raspy voice called from the crowd.

"Did someone say something?" I asked as I started looking around.

"Are you okay Crimson?" Celestia asked as she started walking towards me.

"I- I thought someone said something." I said as I started feeling a sharp pain in my head and heard a high pitched ringing.

"What are you doing?" Luna said as the other students started panicking.

"What do you mean?" I said as I opened my eyes only to see my hand strangling Celestia while everyone started screaming.

"What are you doing bro?!" Rainbow screamed as her and the others charged the stage while Blizzard stood still.

"Haha...HAHA...HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!" I started laughing hysterically as I threw Celestia onto the ground.

"RELEASE THE BEAST WITHIN!" The raspy voice that belonged to Tirek screamed in my head.

I then stopped moving as everyone looked on in terror.

"The time has come for me to move onto the new world and claim it for the Demon race." I called out as Grimstone started to come from my body one skeletal part at a time.

"Wait are the rumors true?" Students began mumbling as they watched me transform into the true beast I am.

"Yes the rumors Anon-A-Miss made on MyStable are true I am the Demon King and I know who the Ghost Rider is." Grimstone said as he took control.

---Grimstone POV---

Blizzard began slowly walking towards me as he started smiling.

"Isn't that right Blizzard?" I asked as I pointed towards him.

He then started quickly walking towards me as his smile turned into a snarl and his eyes started becoming blue.

"Oh I'm sorry I meant to say... Zarathos the angel of justice!" I screamed as I yanked my sword out of thin air.

"AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!" Blizzard yelled as a ray of light shot out of his eyes and mouth that was blue and orange.

"It has been forever Grimstone the Savage Wolf." Zarathos said as he materialized next to Rider.

"Indeed it has. You however, don't have to get involved." I said as I rolled out of the way onto the football field dodging the Rider as he swung his flaming chain.

"It's too late wolfie." He replied.

"Yea it is." I laughed before I started coughing very hard as smoke and ash began coming from my mouth.

"I HAVE YOU NOW!!!" Zarathos screamed as he ran up and hit me in the back with his sword that appeared in his hand and sent me flying into the stands causing a giant crater to appear as people began running away.

"CRIMSON!" Spitfire screamed as she ran and stopped next to Rainbow and the others.

"What is going on between those two?!" Rarity yelled as the others stood there in complete shock.

"Rider was originally an angel of justice named Zarathos and Grimstone tricked him during the holy wars and trapped him in the underworld. He was the one who made rider the spirit of vengeance." Spitfire explained as she looked horrified to the crater which began emanating smoke.

"Does anyone smell anything burning?" Rider asked once he appeared next to Rainbow and the others as he looked around.

"Don't do this rider it isn't worth it!" Spitfire yelled.

"RRRAAAAAAGGGHHHH!" A horrendous roar rang through the stadium causing everyone to stop instantaneously. Then out of the crater came a gigantic prehistoric beast with a blue tail.

"Is this the fabled fourth beast of Apocalyptus?" Zarathos asked as he started walking in front of the beast sizing it up.
The beast just snarled in response.

"This'll be interesting." Rider said as he sat down to watch the brawl.

The beast then began roaring as ash started swarming like insects in his mouth which suddenly burst into flames.

"Oh wow it's a night light." Zarathos said as he charged the beast at full speed as he swung his sword only to be blocked by it's tail which was completely made of metal and was like his own personal sword.

The beast then swung his tail around and caught it in his mouth and sharpened it with his teeth causing it to glow white hot. The with a gigantic roar he swung his tail around frantically trying to catch and cut the angel.

"Is that all you have?" Zarathos screamed as he dodged the tail his wings barely touched the blade causing some to be cut through like paper.

"This may be a problem." Rider yelled as he threw his chain around the beasts neck as he pulled it to the ground.

"Thanks brother." Zarathos yelled as he ran behind the monster and with one strong slice he cut it's tail clean off which caused it to roar in pain and anger.

"Kill him now I can't hold it!" Rider yelled as he struggled to keep the beast down.

"Oh I won't kill him like this." Zarathos said as he walked in front of the monster and then with all his might jumped through it's chest pulling out Grimstone through the other side.

"You b@stard!!!" Grimstone yelled as his eyes started bleeding a little.

"What's wrong doggie? I thought you loved playing around." Zarathos yelled as he pinned the demon to the ground.

"You don't understand who screwed you over do you?" Grimstone said as he began laughing.

"You did , I remember it like it was yesterday!" Zarathos yelled as he swung his sword three times cutting off all of Grimstone's limbs.

"AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!" Grimstone yelled. "You really don't know who proposed the idea do you?" Grimstone laughed.

"What do you mean?" Zarathos asked.

"Not gonna tell. Tell ya what you leave now and next time we meet I'll tell you the answer." Grimstone said as he turned to smoke and appeared a couple feet in front of him still bleeding from his lack of limbs.

"Very well, but since you and I are connected by fate you cannot return to your original form. This Crimson is still alive and he can still speak, but he cannot return to his original body." Zarathos said as he glared at his enemy.

"Very well so just go on your way now and leave one day you will have your answer." Grimstone said as he slowly started growing his limbs back.

Then in a flash of orange and blue light the angel and spirit disappeared.

"Care to explain?!" Celestia and Luna both screamed as they were trying to make sense of what they just saw.

"All in good time, but first I will be the new teacher of robotics from now on I am Grimstone Ashenwing. Pleased to make your acquaintance." Grimstone said as he nervously grinned and extended his hands as a confused Luna and Celestia slowly shook them. "Also" He said as he turned around to everyone else. "Sorry about screaming about taking over the world I won't do it I promise!" Grimstone yelled out to the crowd.

"Is Crimson alright?!" Sptifire asked in a worried tone as the others and her ran to Grimstone.

"He's fine just passed out. Now if you'll excuse me I have an important meeting with the ground so yea..." Grimstone said as he then flopped over face down and began snoring.

It's not over yet

---The Raft---
~~3 days after Zarathos rebirth~~~

"Welcome back Agents Coulson." A guard said as Coulson entered the prison. "I assume you're here to attempt to interrogate him again."

"Indeed, hopefully I'll get lucky this time." Coulson grumbled as they stepped into an elevator. "Then again, maybe not."

"If I may speak freely?" The guard asked as Coulson nodded. "Why don't we just shoot the guy and get it over with?"

"His mother thinks we can turn him around." Coulson said as the guard rolled his eyes. "It's Spoiled Rich, what do you expect?"

"He slaughtered 50 people men, women and children." The guard said as Coulson sighed. "That has showed something about him."

"He's adopted." Coulson said as the elevator stopped. "I would've brought some friends, but Spiderman and his team are busy at the moment and the Avengers are in Sokovia."

"Heard about that." The guard said as Coulson looked out the window next them and watched most of the criminals in the courtyard. "I'm surprised none of them escaped yet."

"They're afraid." Coulson said as they turned and began to walk down stairs. "If you haven't heard, The angel of justice made a comeback."

"Didn't he give Grimstone a run for his money?" The guard as Coulson nodded. "Should we be worried?"

"For the most part.....we should be very worried." Coulson said as they stopped in front of a blast door. "What's your name by the way?"

"Shinning armor sir." Shinning said as Coulson pulled out a device.

"I understand you're about to be a father soon, correct?" Coulson asked as Shinning looked at him surprised. "Friend of yours told me, once you're done for the day, feel free to take time off until your baby is born."

"I..well...Thank you sir." Shinning said as Coulson smirked. "I'll be out here when you're done."

"That would be for the best." Coulson said as Shinning opened the door. "Ryker wanted for murder, assault on many counts, Grand theft auto, and sexual assault should I continue?"

"It enlightens me to hear my reputation precedes me." A sinister voice said as Coulson approached the glass cell door. "How long has it been Phil, two maybe three months since I last saw you?"

"I'm not here for small talk." Coulson said as the voice sighed with disappointment. "And I'd prefer we talk face to face."

"Very well." The voice said sadly as a muscular male approached the door. He had black spiked hair and brown eyes, and was foot taller than Coulson. "What do you wish to talk about?"

"Hopefully I'll be able to know more about you by the time I leave, other than just your name." Coulson muttered as Ryker crossed his arms. "And for the fact you're not human."

"What gave it away?" Ryker asked as a brown monkey like tail unwrapped itself from around his waist. "I can tell you one thing, I'm not a mutant either."

"Finally, some progress." Coulson muttered as he typed something on the device. "So you're not a mutant, Inhuman origins perhaps?"

"As if." Ryker said scoffing.

"So.....Alien origin?" Coulson asked.

"Bingo, but don't bother trying to find my home planet, it was destroyed many years ago." Ryker said as he sat down on the bed of his cell. "Tell me how is Rainbow Dash doing?"

"She hopes you rot here." Coulson said as Ryker chuckled. "After what you did, you'll never see sunlight again."

"We'll see about that." Ryker sneered as Coulson glanced at him. "Before you captured me, I had a very powerful ally that's helped me discover my abilities."

"If you're talking about Tirek, we know you don't have any connections with him." Coulson said as Ryker leaned back. "So, who was your ally?"

"Why don't you ask her yourself?" Ryker said as Coulson turned around as was met with a fist. "Well, well, well I never figured you to be the traitorous type Agent Spitfire."

"Shut it." 'Spitfire' said as her eyes glowed green and her body morphed into Chrysalis. "We don't have much time."

"I assume you mean Zarathos?" Ryker asked as Chyrsalis opened the door. "Don't worry, if I recall him and Grimstone have been enemies for hundreds of thousands of years."

"He's also the angel of justice." Chrysalis said as she tossed him an earring that was a green orb with a gold chain connected to it. "So he won't hesitate to kill us."

"Not if we play our cards right." Ryker said as he formed a ball of energy in his hand and threw it at the wall, destroying it. "Shall we?"

The new kid (edited)

---New York---
"Please, I'm sorry…” A thug said in fear, backing up slowly against a wall. “H-have mercy, please..." He choked out as a figure holding a flaming chain approached him.

"Sorry, fresh outta mercy.” The frightening figure spoke with a demonic voice. "Any last words?" The figure spoke, tightening it’s grip on the chain.

"P-please…don't kill m-me…” The thug said, as rivers of tears flowed down his fear ridden face. “I'll do anything…just don’t hurt me…"

"Funny, isn't that what that girl told you before you killed her?" The figure said with a questioning tone in his voice.

“I…” The thug kept crying, screaming in pain as the role of justice had been delivered by the inanimate man who swung his chain.

“You...guilty….." The figure said as the chain consumed the thug.

---Canterlot City; Following Day---

"Hey girls! How are you?” A girl with crimson and gold hair said as she walked up to a group of girls.

"Oh hey Sunset. Did you see the news last night, or were you just doing nothing like always?” A girl with eye catching rainbow hair said as Sunset began to settle in with the rest of the group whom she was walking to.

"Didn’t catch it, why? Something worthwhile to watch that isn’t magic hungry villains taking over our school show up?" Sunset asked with curiosity, and with a hint of sarcasm.

“It seems as if what a hero should be has been corrupted to do something outstandingly barbaric, darling Rainbow Dash.” A ladylike girl with sassy yet glamorous indigo hair commented.

"Well, I suppose I agree with Rarity…” whispered the shy, animal scented girl. “If he even is a hero."

"What? Girls, what are you talking about?" Sunset questioned, the confusion and curiosity now reaching boiling levels.

"What's she sayin’ is that this so called hero doesn't even look like one. As what for Rainbow mentioned, someone finally caught the monster on camera."

"I beg your pardon? What on earth!" Sunset spoke, something deep inside her telling her this was going to be another chaotic week as well. "Someone just tell me what everything boils down to!!”

A sigh followed by some tapping on screen followed. "There's been some guy that's been spotted in New York killing criminals.” Rainbow explained, clearing out the summary for Sunset as she lifted her phone to further show it. “Take a look." She said as she pulled up a video.

"Awww, what in..." Sunset awed as she watched the video, as a shady, what looked down to be some sort of thief backed up against a wall. Then some unknown figure with a terrorizing flaming skull came to contact with the thief.

“The heck is that?" Sunset asked with a hint of terror in her voice.

"It calls itself the ‘Ghost Rider’ ." Applejack began, Rainbow tucking her phone away. "My granny always told me stories ‘bout him."

"It gets crazier too. That guy you saw Ghost Rider going after? He was a leader of one of the most violent gangs in New York." Rainbow Dash quoted. Silence crackled down on the room in which the six girls were at; the shock of Sunset as to what a “bad hero” was actually doing in New York. “The police couldn’t bring the gang down."

"How can someone get this kind of power?" Sunset questioned, her mind zooming off as to what dark magic could the man, ‘Ghost Rider’, be using.

"He’s said to have sold his soul to the devil." Applejack stated as fluttershy whimpered. “Who knows who he was before he became...this."

"Let's just hope we never meet him, and move on to another, more friendly subject..” Rarity nervously chuckled as the bell rang. "See you darlings at lunch!!"

---New York; Same Boring Day---

"Uggggghhh…...pain…" I said as I opened my eyes. “Need...water…."I carelessly rolled off my bed falling to the floor with a loud thud, as I extended my hand out to bring the remedy that is water to my aching throat. “Thanks for the water…wait what?”

You are most welcome. Suddenly, a strange voice spoke inside my head, continuing, What are friends for?

"We're not friends.” I said as the voice cackled. “Never have been, never will be.”

Just admit it, you like me here!! the voice proclaimed, chuckling. I know you do.

"Please, just shut up." I said as I stood up and looked in the mirror, in the reflection I saw my bright white hair and piercing blue eyes. "Please ignore what I just said, and tell me, Is eye patch still after us?"

You mean Nick Fury? Yeah, that pest's still there. The voice said, my only indication was to groan. We had a hard time last night trying to shake em’ off.

"At least he didn't call any Avengers, right?” Once again, silence took over my head and thoughts. " You’re sh*tting me dude, who was it?"

….The…tin man. I groaned yet again and lifted my shirt, just to see a burn mark. The repulsor cannons he had really strike us up, but hey! At least it wasn’t green alien buff man? Am I right?

"Indeed you are...now my face." I went to the bathroom and washed my face. "Should we leave?" I asked.

Yes….but this time I choose….right?, the voice said as I rolled my eyes. Hmm ,I say…Canterlot City?

"Why there?" I then grabbed my backpack and started putting clothes in it." You remember my origins lay there…don't you?”

Yeah yeah, but hey! Your old buddies live there! I sighed, as the voice continued on. Perhaps maybe you get lucky and meet…..y’now…a girl.

"Gee thanks 'dad'." I said sarcastically. “But seriously, why do you want to go there?"

Not only is there a ton of dark souls, there is also some magic…..it’s sketchy. The voice said.

"Magic?" I asked as I swung my backpack over my shoulder. “What kind?"

Don’t know. The voice answered, which worried me. Ready for some fun?

"Of course." I said as I left my apartment." If I recall however, Canterlot has a high school, right?"

Yeah, and an old friend of yours even goes there. Rainbow Dash, Dashie, remember? The voice said with a giddy tone.

"I haven't seen her since middle school." I said as I left the building. "Say… where did you park the bike?"

Five blocks down, then to the left.. I really was starting to feel the mental abuse now, if not before. Start walking, move, keep walking, soldier keep moving on~

"Will you SHUT UP!!" I screamed, something that I then regret, as I saw people gave me strange looks and trying to walk as farthest away from me as possible. “I really hate you Rider," I said as Rider cackled. “This…..this is going to be a long trip."

His name was Blizzard wind

---Blizzard Wind, location: Unknown---

I think we missed the exit, The Rider said as I pulled off the highway. Gas?

"Yep," I said as we stopped at a red light. "Should be getting dark soon."

I would be excited, but, like you said, we should lay low, The Rider said as the light turned green. Also, ask for directions, that would help.

"Already planned on it," I replied as I pulled us into the closest and not as busy gas station. "I wonder how my old friends are doing."

Skittles and the daughter of the shy guy? The Rider asked. I rolled my eyes as I stopped the bike and flipped the kickstand. Are you ever going to smile or laugh anymore?

"The only time that happens is when you want out." I muttered as I took my helmet off. I opened the gas tank to my bike and slipped the gas nozzle in it. "And I also seem to laugh at pain."

Like Deadpool? The Rider asked innocently. I groaned in response. Still touchy about that?

"It was not a fun experience fighting him," I said as I took the nozzle out after the gas pump clicked. "Now be quiet for a second." I said as I went inside to pay.

"Fifteen forty." The cashier droned with a bored tone when I gave him the pump number. "Thank you, have a nice night."

"Do you know which way it is to get to Canterlot City?" I asked. The cashier gave me an annoyed look and sighed.

"Head east down the highway for about twenty miles and take exit twenty four." The cashier obliged. I nodded gratefully.

"Thanks," With that, I left and got on my bike. "Almost there."

Want me to take over? The Rider asked as I started the bike. I know you said we should lay low, but...

"Actually, I want to drive tonight." I said putting my helmet on and flipping the kickstand up." Been awhile since I've driven an all-nighter."

It’s up to you, The Rider said as I drove towards the highway.

---C.H.S, the next day---

"Hey, Rainbow Dash." A girl with green hair said walking over to her. "Heading to class?"

"Oh, hey Green Song." Rainbow Dash greeted sadly. "Yeah, I arrived later than I thought I would."

"You okay?" Green song asked." You seem kinda down."

"I'm fine; it’s just there’s something about today, I kinda want to forget about," Rainbow Dash sighed. "I don't really want to talk more about it."

"You're talking about Blizzard, aren't you?" Green Song pried further. "I understand. I miss him too; he was a good friend."

"He sure was," Rainbow agreed as she walked to her class." I just wish..."

"...How long has it been since we've seen him?" Green Song asked. She tensed slightly when she noticed a tear roll down Rainbow's cheek.

"6 years at least," Rainbow said as she stopped in front of her classroom. "I might go to the cemetery later."

"I'll go with you." Green Song offered as Rainbow smiled sadly. "Maybe the others will want to go with you."

"Thanks," Rainbow said as the bell rang." I'll see you a lunch."

---Blizzard Wind---

I guess the cashier forgot to mention the five hundred plus miles after we got off the exit, The Rider mumbled sourly as I drove past a welcome sign. What do you think?

"It was 2:30 AM when we got there." I said as I pulled off the pavement and onto a dirt road." She was tired; I doubt she was lying on purpose."

Agreed, The Rider said as I stopped. Why'd you stop? The rider asked as I pointed to a sign. Canterlot City Cemetery, Why are we here?

"My parents were buried here." I answered as I turned my bike off. "I say it’s about time I paid my respects."

I may be part of you, but I could never figure certain things about you, The Rider mused as I got off my bike and entered the cemetery. But what I want to know is, why did you make a deal?

"My mom had bone marrow cancer," I said as we walked past gravestones. "She had only a few days to live, so, out of desperation, you
know who came up to me and said if I signed a contract my mom would be cured."

So you signed the contract with your blood, The rider deadpanned as we approached three gravestones. How did they die?

"House fire, that was set to kill my dad." I said as I stopped in front of the graves. "But that's the thing, I died in that fire as well."

Whoa, The rider replied in bewilderment as I looked at the gravestones that had my parents name on them, including mine. That’s messed up.

"Coming from the one who killed HUNDREDS!!!" I yelled as I kicked the gravestone with my name on it over. "Of criminals," I growled as I stomped on the gravestone, smashing it to pieces." It's pretty messed up."

What was that about? The rider asked as I started walking back to my bike. You have something planned, don't you?

"I'm sending a message," I said truthfully as I got on my bike. "I'm pretty sure you know what it is."

THE SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE IS IN TOWN, BABY!!! The Rider yelled as I started my bike and drove back down the dirt road. Who's our first target?

"Torch, leader of the Dragon Clan gang," I said as I turned back onto the main road, heading toward town. "We have a town to clean up."

That's the Blizzard I know, The Rider said, laughing. MAKE WAY EVERYBODY, BLIZZARD SNOW IS BACK!!!

"You bet your @$$ I'm back," I said, smirking. "I'm back for vengeance."

---Rainbow Dash, after school---

"Thanks for coming with me, guys." Rainbow Dash said as she stepped out of the vehicle. "I really mean it."

"What are friends for?" Sunset smiled as they followed her towards the cemetery. "It was nice of your brother to give us a ride."

"I knew Blizzard’s parents; they were good friends." Crimson Beat, Rainbow Dash's brother, spoke up. "It's a shame about what happened to them."

"What happened to them?" Rarity asked inquisitively as Rainbow Dash walked ahead.

"They died in a house fire, the same day they found out that Blizzard's mom no longer had cancer." Crimson said gravely, causing Rarity gasp. "They found his mom and dad, but they never found Blizzard’s body."

"CRIMSON!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed out, sprinting at full speed back to them. "Someone destroyed Blizzard’s gravestone!"

"What?" Crimson asked incredulously. "Are you sure?"

"Look for yourself," She said as she began crying. "Who would do this?" she said as Crimson ran past her as her friends went over it her to comfort. "Who?"

"Ah geez." Crimson pulled at his hair as he looked at the destroyed gravestone. "This is just uncalled for."

"What kind of meanie would do this?" Pinkie scowled as Sunset put a hand on Rainbow's shoulder as her friends nodded in agreement.

"I'll call the police, have them check it out." Crimson said as he pulled out his phone." I'm sorry Rainbow."

"It's fine," Rainbow said sniffling. "It can be replaced," She paused as a chilling laugh was heard in the distance. "What the...

The Flames of Vengeance and love

"DIE!!!" Chrysalis yelled as she charged Crimson who was standing right before us all.

"How about...no." Crimson said as a flaming chain wrapped around Chrysalis' neck and slammed her into the ground."Stay out of this."Crimson said as the Rider brushed past him."Blizzard." Crimson said trying it get his attention as the Rider kept his grip on the chain.

"Blizzard?" Rainbow asked getting concerned."Something's wrong."

"You took everything from me." The Rider spoke as Chrysalis looked up."My family and my life."

"That's sound like me, but I don't remember doing that to a Ghost Rider." Chrysalis said as the chain tightened around her neck causing her to start gagging.

"Because you did before I earned my powers." The Rider said as I took over and changed back to normal."Remeber me?" I asked as the chain loosened allowing her to speak.

"Now I remember, you're Tropical and Northwest's brat." Chrysalis said as I rolled my eyes." They would've been disappointed." That was the straw that broke the camels back."What's wrong, is it true?" Chrysalis sneered as I let the Rider back out as Chrysalis smirk turned into a look of fear.

"Let the hunt begin." The Rider said as he took chain off Chrysalis."You better run, because the Rider comin' after ya." He said crazily as Chrysalis stumbled to get up and began to run.

"Blizzard stop." Crimson said as the Rider faced him."I know your listening, I can't believe I'm saying this, we can bring her in and question her."Crimson said as the Rider stared."I'm surprised your even listening."

"This is the only time you'll see me be civil right now." The Rider spoke as he walked towards Crimson."We both want her dead, and right now, I'm the only one with the balls to do it." He said as Chrysalis jumped into a truck and drove off."Blizzard wants revenge, and it fueling me right now."

"Please listen to him." Rainbow said as Spitfire held her back."The Blizzard I know wouldn't do this."

"Well.....Blizzard isn't here right now." The Rider said as he stared at Crimson with pure rage in his eyes."So...Get out of my way."

"I'm not going to talk you out of this, am I? Just remember this Blizzard it doesn't matter if someone has the balls to do it. What matters is doing the right thing. I know you've killed many people, but let me ask you this do you want to let her escape from the judgement she must face from the lives lost by her wave of tyranny?" Crimson asked as the Rider walked towards a building. "At least take it into consideration!" Crimson yelled.

"I suggest we leave." Johnny said as he turned back to normal."I've been here before, I think I know what's in there."

"What?" Spitfire asked as the as flames blew out the windows of the building."What's in there?"

"Some kind of truck if remember correctly." Johnny said as a flaming six wheeled truck crashed through the wall and sped past them."Hey, I was right."

"We need to stop him." Green Song said as the group looked at her."Who's more in danger, Chyrsalis or whoever is in Blizzard's way?"

"She has a good point." Crimson said as Spitfire tossed him a set of keys."Let's hope we can catch up."

---Chrysalis---

"The fool actually let me go." Chyrsalis said with a smirk as she turned onto the highway barely missing a car."It will be his down fall." She said as she started speeding down the highway passing cars."I'll just go to another base, get some support and....." She trailed off as she noticed a flaming armoured truck barreling towards her knocking cars to the side."Oh no."

"I wonder if this thing has a radio that works."The Rider spoke as it pushed a button and classical music."Why is this a thing?' The Rider groaned as he changed the station to a song of his liking."Oh yeah."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdGJb0aPiIc

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!!" The Rider cackled as he rammed cars out of the way as he sped up."I LOVE THE SOUND OF SCREAMS IN THE MORNING!!!" He said danced to song as he kept speeding toward Chrysalis' vehicle." IMMA GONNA GIVE IT TO YA!!!!" He yelled as he rammed the back of the car as Chrysalis struggled to keep control as he cackled."You're mine."

(end music)

"CRAP!!!" Chryalis yelled as the Rider rammed the car again, this time, causing her to lose control." NO!!!" She yelled in fear as the vehicle flipped and rolled down the road a ways before coming to stop."That blasted SON. OF. A...(SMASH!!)" she was was cut off as the Rider smashed into her vehicle and pinned it against the cement guardrail of the bridge." Please, not like this."

"Got her." The Rider said as he stopped the vehicle and stepped out as people ran in fear."Your terror ends now, Chyrsalis." He said as he grabbed the car and slowly began to rip it in half as Chrysalis crawled out through the two halves of the car."You can run, But you can't hide."

"I'LL END YOU!!!!" Chrysalis yelled as she pulled out a gun and fired it at the Rider; with no results."I'm not going to die like...ACK!!" Chrysalis choked out as a flaming chain wrapped around her neck and lifted her up.

"Your souls is stained with the blood of the innocents." The Rider said as he brought Chrysalis closer."Look into my eyes." He spoke as Chyrsalis struggled to keep her eyes closed, but something was forcing them open."LOOK!!!!" The Rider bellowed as Chrysalis looked at him in fear."Feel their pain." The Rider said as Chyrsalis began to scream as flames filled her eyes as the Rider dropped her as she was desperately trying to stop her burning eyes. "Guilty!"He yelled as he roared into the sky.

"Blizzard! That's enough!" A loud and authoritative voice yelled followed by a loud thud.

"This doesn't concern you Ashenwing." Rider said as Chrysalis screamed even more at the mention of his name.

"Let me ask you not as Grimstone nor the Crimson you currently know. But, let me ask you as the Crimson you looked up to as a older brother all those years ago. How? How do you think they would feel? Look at these innocent people around us they are petrified." Grimstone yelled as he pointed all around. "Imagine how they feel. Imagine how your friends feel. Imagine how Rainbow feels she was begging you to not do what you have done to so many before. Above all else imagine how your parents would feel. They loved you more than anything else in this world so much so that they gladly gave their lives for you. Do you honestly believe this is how they would want to be avenged?" Grimstone ranted as he turned into Crimson.

"You know nothing!!" Rider yelled as his voice began to mix with mine.

"D@mnit Blizzard look at me!!!!" Crimson yelled as he ran up and grabbed Rider by his jacket while his body was quickly doused in white mist revealing his true form. "She took five years from my life that I can never get back and the reminders I have are these scars, but I have another reminder of those five years!" Crimson yelled as he pulled out a photo of Green Song and him working in the garage on his Cadillac. He was covered in grease while Green Song wore a hat with the words 'Daddy's little Grease Monkey' sewn onto the front. "It may seem like a dark and everlasting road ahead of us all, but there will always be a small glimmer of light that will show you the path before you." Crimson concluded while his hands started smoking.

"You're right." Rider said in a low voice as the truck pulled up carrying everyone. He looked at Chrysalis who was wincing in pain as her eyes still began to burn. Rider waved his hand over her and the fire stopped and she passed out due to pain.

"You're welcome." The Rider said as Rainbow approached him."The actions you saw today were mine, not Blizzard's."

"Can I talk to him?" Rainbow asked as The Rider shook his head."Why not?"

"Becuase....He's gonna need a docter." The Rider said as he let me take control as I fell to the ground.

"And please hurry." I wheezed out as a red spot started to from on my shirt." I'm not....exactly....immortal." I said before I blacked out.

---The hospital---

"I hope he's okay." Rainbow mumbled to herself as she watched the news as it showed the flaming hell truck and Chrysalis being put in a straight jacket being led into a police cruiser."He said he's been through worse."

"I'm sure he'll be fine." Green Song said as she read a magazine."He fought Dad and walked away from that."

"True." Rainbow said as Crimson walked in carrying coffee and hot chocolate."Thanks."

"You're welcome." Crimson said as he sat down."If you're wondering Johnny had to leave and Spitfire had to take a call." He said as he looked at the T.V. as it showed an image of The Hell Truck again."That's something from your Nightmares."

"Y'think?" Green Song said with a smirk."But it is pretty cool."

"True." Crimson muttered as Spitfire walked in."So?"

"Fury wants me to investigate what happened on the highway." Spitfire said as the group gave her concerned looks."So I told him it was the Ghost Rider that he's been tracking and that it put a close friend of Rainbow's in the hospital." Spitfire said as the group sighed with relief." And he's sending in some one from the Avengers."

"Who?" Crimson asked with a concerned tone." Who is he sending?"

"Remeber Spidey?" Spitfire asked as Crimson groaned."I know when you two first meet it didn't turn out well."

"He thought I was the Goblin."Crimson said as Green Song cringed, remembering the fight."Anyway, How's Blizzard doing?"

"Don't know yet." Spitfire said sadly as she sat down as the docter walked in."Speaking of which."

"How is he?" Rainbow asked as the docter gave her a small smile.

"He'll be just fine, despite him having some shattered ribs and a hole in his chest." The Docter said as Rainbow looked at him shocked."Looked like he had a fight with the hulk or something."

"Or something." Crimson muttered as Spitfire elbowed him.

"Can we see him?" Rainbow asked as the docter nodded.

"But only one at a time." He said with a stern tone. "But not for long either, he needs his rest."

"You go first Rainbow." Crimson said as he leaned back."I don't think I'm the first one he'll want see."

"Thanks." Rainbow said as the docter lead toward the room I was in."H-Hey Blizzard."

"Hey Rainbow." I said as I smiled weakly."I wish you didn't have to see me like this."

"How are you feeling?" Rainbow asked as she approached the side of my bed."Grimstone certainly did a number on you, good thing Crimson stepped in when he did."

"Not just him." I said chuckling." Chrysalis too with that weapon she had, apparently angel blood can hurt spirits too."

"I guess so." Rainbow said as a tear rolled down her cheek."I almost lost you...again."

"I'm not going anywhere." I said as Rainbow sniffed."I'll be fine, don't worry."

"Why'd you do it?" Rainbow asked as I looked at her confused."Why'd you go after Chrysalis?"

"She killed my parents, and I wanted revenge."I said as I sighed."That's one of the reason I've been halfway around the world, and killing criminals and such along the way, I was searching for her."I said as I looked at the falling snow."And know.....It's finally done."

"So what are you going to do next?" Rainbow asked as I looked back at her. "Leave once you're better?"

"Never, The Rider is needed here." I said as Rainbow smiled." And so am I."

"I'll let you rest now." Rainbow said as she turned around to leave. Then she quickly leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Whoa I heard the Rider say as I began to blush.

"Thank you, for everything." Rainbow said as she straightened up. "Get well soon." She said blushing as she left.

Get it tiger The Rider said cackling.

"Shut up." I said as I sighed while watching the snow fall.
