Johnny let his grip on the Rider loosen, and the wolves fates were sealed when he did so.

He started to chuckle, causing the wolves to become confused. Why was this pony laughing? Didn't it know it was going to die?

Smoke started to leak from his body as he continued to chuckle, the laughter and smoke starting to grow with intensity. The wolves stared at him for several seconds, and then one of them jumped him, tackling him to the ground. It slashed him with its claws as it did so, causing him to bleed on his chest.

The wolf thought it was all over, and got off the pony, preparing to kill it. Suddenly, the pony started to become covered in fire, scaring the wolves. They had never seen a creature besides a phoenix do that, and it scared them. The pony suddenly sat up, the fire burning off its flesh and skin. When they looked at it's eyes, they saw it's eyes had turned into craters of black and fire. The feathers and skin on it's wings burned into nothing but ash, being replaced by fire and bone.

His entire being burned away, his mane nothing but billowing fire and his body nothing but a skeleton. The Rider looked at the wolves, who were now cowering in fear. He slowly pointed a hoof at them, and said, "Guilty."

The wolves panicked when they heard it's voice. It's voice scared them so much that they attacked it, hoping that if they attacked all at once, they would be able to beat it.

Unfortunately, they were battling the Ghost Rider, not a regular pony. When they jumped him, they saw the creature grin at them, before disappearing with a flap of it's wings. They yelped with shock, and got in a circle when they landed.

Rider appeared in front of them again, and one of the wolves ran at him, it's fear overriding any rational thought it might have had.

He pointed a hoof at the wolf, and a flaming chain appeared in front of him. He grabbed the chain, and threw it like a lasso at the wolf. The wolf barely had a chance to react when the chain hit. The chain wrapped around the wolf, causing it to howl in pain as it was burned by the chain. Its fellow wolves came to its aid, but could not break the chain. The wolf howled even more as it burned more from the chain. Soon, all that was left of the wolf was ash. The Rider jerked the chain, causing it to wrap around his body, and then looked at the other wolves. They looked at him, and then tried to run away, whining and yelping with fear.

The Rider stood there for a few minutes, and then cackled with glee. He was in need of a good chase, and these wolves were providing him with one.

Well, he would gladly accept the chase. The wolves hadn't paid for their transgression against his host.

He flared his wings, and took off after them, twin flames trailing after him on the ground.

The wolves ran, their tails between their legs. They knew that they had made a mistake in attacking that pony, but they didn't know how big of a mistake it was.

They felt intense heat behind them, causing them to look behind them. Their eyes widened as they saw the flaming creature coming after them, embers drifting in the wind. This scared them even more, causing them to run even harder. But it was no use. The flaming creature was catching up.

Ghost Rider grabbed the chain wrapped around his body, and whipped it around a few times, getting ready to strike them down. He threw the chain at the wolves, making them yelp in fear. The chain hit one of the wolves, and wrapped around one of its legs, causing it to fall down and howl in pain as the flames started to lick along its body. The other wolf continued running, not daring to look at its comrade.

The Rider yanked on the chain, ripping off the limb it had wrapped around, while the flames burned the limb to ash. The wolf howled in even more pain, the loss of the limb having been almost too much for it to take. The flames on its body burned it quickly, soon leaving a large pile of ash.

The Rider scowled slightly at this, the chain wrapping around his waist. He had hoped that these wooden wolves would have been a challenge, but they weren't. He flexed his wings, and started after the final wolf, it having gained some ground while he had taken care of its comrade.

As the wolf ran, it felt the air around it start to warm up. Soon, it was sweltering. The wolf ran harder, despite the soreness in its chest and side, and the heat.

Suddenly, a flaming chain flew over it, and struck the ground in an arc, setting it ablaze. The wolf stopped, just shy of the flames. It was trapped. It turned around, the heat increasing rapidly.

The strange creatures soon appeared in front of it, flapping its flaming bony wings.

The Rider landed, chain in hoof as he approached the cornered wolf, leaving flaming hoof prints as he did so. It had been a good chase, but it was time to end it. The wolf growled and whined, fear and panic coursing through its system.

The wolf ran at him, and slashed at his face, hoping to injure him. But the wolf only dislocated his jaw, and broke its claws, causing it to yelp in pain, the flames having burned it slightly.

The Rider just stared at the wolf as he took a hoof, and reattached his jaw, looking at the wolf with flaming eyes. Fear overrunning common sense, the wolf jumped at him, jaws open wide to bite him. He stepped to the side, and socked the wolf in the jaw as it missed him, making the wolf fly towards the flames with a loud yelp of pain, as it's jaw broke from the punch.

The wolf landed on the ground, and felt the flames touch its rear legs. It howled, and tried to crawl away from the flames. But the Rider would have none of that. He walked over to the wolf, and grabbed its head, crushing it as he did so. He then pushed the wolf's entire body into the flames, and watched it burn to ashes. After that, Rider walked into the flames, and absorbed them into his body, not wanting to harm any innocent creatures in the forest.

He had enjoyed the fight and chase a little bit, but it was time for Johnny to return. As the Rider went back inside of Johnny, who had watched the fight form inside the Rider, his flesh and feathers returned, ending with him looking the same before the fight. The cuts made by the wolves stayed, but slowly started to heal, the Rider helping.

Johnny sighed in relief, standing as he did so, the chain wrapped around his waist. The Rider hadn't gone overboard with the fight this time, but had made their deaths swift. And the forest was still standing.

He dusted himself off, wiped the sweat off his brow, and continued onward through the forest, wondering where he could find civilization. Unbeknownst to him, he had been watched by a figure in the shadows. The figure looked after Johnny with surprise on its face, as well as what appeared to be a blush. After staring in the direction he had gone for a few minutes, the figure turned and walked away, pondering what it had just witnessed.

While Johnny was running from the wolves....

Twilight had invited Celestia and Luna to her castle for a friendly meeting. While they were on their way, she had her assistant Spike the dragon help her prepare for their visit.

"Come-on Spike!" Twilight said excitedly. "We still have to reshelf the library!"

Spike groaned. "Twilight. We just reshelved the library yesterday."

"I know!" Twilight exclaimed. "And I want the library to look perfect for the princesses arrival." With that, they went into the library, Spike grumbling as they did so.

Once inside the library, Twilight flared up her magic, and levitated all of the books off the shelves into the air. Spike grabbed his feather duster, and dusted the shelves, while Twilight sorted the books in the air. Once he had finished, Twilight placed the newly sorted books onto the shelves.

They stepped back, and looked at the shelves proudly. Spike wiped his brow with a claw, thankful to be done with the shelves.

"Alright Spike. Now that we are done with that, let's check the checklist."

Spike sighed, and picked up the checklist off the table.

"Ok. We've dusted the hallways, cleaned the doors, and reshelved the library." Spike looked at the list again, and grinned. "That's it Twilight! We did it all."

"Are you sure Spike?" Twilight asked, levitating the list over to her. "I was certain we still had to-"

"Twilight, we did everything on the list. Don't worry," Spike said, cutting her off.

Twilight sighed. "Ok Spike. I'm just so nervous about the princesses visit. I mean, why are they coming today? Did something happen?"

Spike huffed, a bit tired of her worrying. "Don't worry. I'm sure the princesses just want to spend some time with you, that's all." He went up to her and gave her a hug. "Don't worry."

Twilight took a deep breath, and returned the hug. "Thanks Spike. I don't know what i would do without you."

Spike smiled, and said, "No problem Twi." Just then, they heard a knock on the castle doors.

"Oh! That must be them!!" Twilight exclaimed. "Come-on Spike. We don't want to leave the princesses waiting."

Spike nodded, and joined her as they headed to the front doors.

When they arrived at the front doors, Twilight opened them with her magic.

"Welcome, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna."

Celestia and Luna nodded, and walked inside.

"Hello my dear student."

Celestia turned to the guards. "Wait for us outside."

"Yes your majesty."

Celestia then turned back towards Twilight.

"So how have you been Twilight?"

Twilight smiled, and walked alongside them as they went to one of the sitting rooms in the castle.

"I am doing fine, princess."

"Twilight, please. Your a princess as well, so no need to call me princess. Just call me Celestia."

"Uh. O-ok Celestia." Twilight managed to say.

Luna, who had been listening intently, asked Twilight, "How have your dreams been Twilight?"

Twilight smiled, and responded. "They have been great! Last night i had a dream about a-" She stopped herself, not sure if she should tell them about the strange creature she saw in her dream last night.

Celestia noticed this, and asked, "Twilight, what is it?"

"Well, princesses," Twilight said. "I had a very weird dream last night."

Luna looked at her sister, intrigue on her face. "What was it about?"

Twilight took in a deep breath, and then began to tell the sisters her dream. As she told them her dream, they listened with rapt attention. When she mentioned the condition it had been in the dream, the sisters gasped, alarmed at the state it was in. After she finished telling them the dream, the sisters sat there, surprised at the dream she had.

"Twilight," said Luna. "Did this creature have a name?"

Twilight nodded. "Yes. It was a strange name."

"May i ask what the name was?" said Celestia.

Twilight nodded, and said, "Johnny Blaze. It's name was Johnny Blaze."

Luna replied, "That is a strange name, but it fits a strange creature."

Twilight then said, "So, how has the court been for you, Luna?"

Luna grimaced, and then launched into a tirade about how snobbish the nobles acted, causing Celestia to chuckle.

Luna glared at her, causing her to chuckle even more.

"And, what is so funny?"

Celestia giggled. "Oh, nothing."

Luna frowned. "It most certainly was not nothing, dear sister."

Celestia started giggling even more, but then suddenly stiffened, catching the attention of Twilight and Luna.

"What is it sister?" Luna asked.

"I feel something powerful, sister. Something as powerful as us," she said, looking at Luna as she spoke.

Twilight and Luna gasped. Something as powerful as Celestia?

"Is it Cadance?" Twilight asked, hoping she was right. She had wanted to spend some time with her babysitter after all.

Celestia shook her head. "No, my dear student. It is not Cadance, but somepony we have never met."

Luna asked, "Where are they sister?"

Celestia sat there for a few minutes, and then responded. "They are in the Everfree. That is where i feel it."

Twilight gasped. "The Everfree!!? Why there?!!"

"I do not know, my dear student. All i know is that they are there," said Celestia, standing up as she spoke.

"Where are you going, dear sister?"

"I am going to head to the Everfree to find them." She turned to Twilight. "Twilight, please summon your friends. We will need them if this thing turns out to be hostile."

"Yes princess." Twilight said, nodding her head. "Come-on Spike. We need to get our friends."

Spike nodded, and left the room, Twilight alongside him.

Luna looked after them for a few seconds, and then turned to her sister. "Sister, is it really as powerful as you say it is?"

Celestia took in a breath, and nodded. "Yes Luna. It is."

Luna slowly nodded and stood up, her question having been answered.

"Well dear sister. Let us follow Twilight to the Everfree and confront this creature, whatever it may be."

"Agreed, dear sister."

With that, the two sisters left the library, heading through the castle halls to meet up with their guards and Twilight.

Author's Note

Here's what his transformation basically looks like.

Transformation

I know i made the Ghost Rider a bit strange, but this is the first time i have ever used the Ghost Rider in a story, so give me some slack. Also, i have only seen the movies, so i have to guess how he would handle fighting here.

If you guys see any place for improvement, don't hesitate to tell me.
