3 Chapter 3:

When Jack woke up, he was greeted with a gun to the face. "Hello Mine, what can I do for you today?" Jack was as casual as ever even when threatened by a rifle to the face. "What I want, is to know what the f*ck you are doing here. Also, why did you seek us out if you are as powerful as you say?" Mine is still has Pumpkin pointed in Jack's face with were tiny finger on the trigger. "Well, for your first question, I came because I was curious about the infamous Night Raid. As for your second, I felt that if I stormed in and took over, I would become the next ruler which I really don't want, also I am a better killer than ruler." Jack gave her a blank smile. "Fine, I'll accept your answer for now, but keep in mind if you betray us, I will personally come and use my Pumpkin to blow you into oblivion." After giving her threat she gave a satisfied huff and walked off like a spoiled princess. "Well then, I guess I should meet the rest of the gang." Saying this Jack got up from the bed and started getting dressed. He changed his style, now he is wearing black leather jacket with metal studs on the shoulders and has a purple undershirt. He is also wearing some black biker pants with a purple snake-skin belt and some black combat boots. The reason he wanted this style is because later he planned to try the ghost rider transformation. 'Guess that will do for now.' Thinking that he looked appropriate, Jack set off for the main hall wearing his IA on his waist.

When Jack got to the main hall, he saw the group of assassins giving him various looks. "So, I assume that all of you here means you all have something to ask of me." Jack still having his casual attitude had his hands in his pockets as he took a seat waiting for their questions. "Well then I guess I will go first." The boss (Najenda) stepped up first giving Jack a very serious look. "Where did you get your IA?" all the others seemed to pay extra attention as they had all been wondering this. "I made it myself. When I slayed a dragon king it turned out he was an SSS class metal dragon king. He offered to make himself in an IA so that he could continue fighting as that was his passion. I accepted his offer and he let me work out the details of what it would look like and do. As for how I came up with this design, I cannot tell you." His words shocked all of them and they started contemplating his words. As the boss sat down Bulat was next, "Exactly how strong are you with and without your IA." Jack scratched his chin thinking, "If I had to guess, then I would say without my IA I could probably beat everyone but you Bulat seeing as you are the strongest physically aside from Lione. With my IA you could all come at me at once and it would still be a one-sided slaughter as my IA grows stronger with every life it takes." Bulat gave me a stupefied expression before falling back into his seat. Next was Lubok, "Why does it seem that out IAs' are unable to function properly around you?" I gave a shrug, "That's due to my unique physic, I have a body that was experimented on from a young age to resist and dominate other IAs'. In theory I can force all of your IAs' to kill you right now and you would have no say in it." Again, my words shocked them to the core. Next was Akame, "Why do I smell death on your every being?" Jack was the one surprised this time. He gave a small chuckle before replying, "hehehe, as expected of you Akame. As for your question, in an attempt to escape from the nightmare of experiments I made a deal with the devil. He gave me power and in return I hunt down stray hell spawns for him." She looked disbelieving and gave me a nod that said to prove it. Jack smiles at this as he was planning to wait until he was alone to transform. "Okay, but I have to warn all of you to stand back as it has been a while since I have changed" They all gave me a wary nod and took a few steps back, Bulat equipped Incursio while the others readied their IAs'. 'Here goes nothing' was all Jack could think before severe pain and a burning sensation took him over.

All the members of Night Raid could see that his body started smoking and he started to maniacally laugh amidst what sounded like screams of pain and agony. They watched as his head caught on fire then after his hair burned off his skin started burning off as his screams turned into bloodcurdling laughter as his eyes burn out of their sockets. There is nothing left but bones and fire. After a few minutes his laughter abruptly stopped. His bone hands reached up and touched his 'face'. "I almost forgot what it felt like to be a demon." When the group of assassins felt their blood run cold as he spoke. When Jack looked at them, they were shocked to see that his head only had a skull and it was on fire. However, Jack did not seem to be in any pain. Contrary to the normal Ghost Rider that had orange/red hell fire, the flame surrounding Jack were a mixture of dark blue and purple. "You don't have to be on edge any more I have my fire under control now. Would you like for me to demonstrate?" Jack said in his casual tone which seemed off since he was literally bones and fire. The boss was the first to recover, "I trust you, I assume that the light show going on with your head and hands aren't just for show." Jack gives her a nod before changing back so that he doesn't keep scaring the other members. "While my other form is quite flashy it comes with its perks. My fire can coat any weapon or vehicle to make it a slaughter machine that I can manipulate and control at will. I also obtain super-speed, in theory I could probably arrive at the capital in 5 minutes if I walked, or less than 30 seconds if I ran. To top it all off I can summon and control demonic beings as my form originated from the only other being that is capable of challenging me is the devil himself. My favorite but most cruel ability is called the Pennant Stare, it can infiltrate the minds of my enemies and I see all of the evil and dark things they have ever done and turn it on them trapping their soul in an eternal nightmare." The boss along with the other members of Night Raid were dumbfounded. Super-speed and strength, altering anything into a weapon of mass destruction, and to top it all of an ability that makes even the cruelest of men tremble and p*ss their pants in fear, in their eye Jack was a monster, no, he was a demon made in the darkest corners of Hell for the purpose of massacring anything or anyone that managed to earn his ire. "Well anyways, Boss did you happen to have any jobs? I'm bored and don't feel like hunting danger beast." Boss managed to regain her composure and gave Jack an exasperated look while saying, "Sigh* We got 2 jobs, Lione and Mine will take one to eliminate the head of a corrupt noble family, as for you Jack, you will be taking out the Commander of the capital defense force Commander Ogre. We were tasked to eliminate him." Jack gave a smile before waving his hand as he walked away. "I am going to go ahead and do my contract now. Let our employer know that Ogre will not live to see the sun rise." All the members of Night Raid almost felt sorry for Ogre if they didn't know about his cruel habits. With his departure Boss gave a long sigh before turning her attention to the other members of the team, "You already know your target and the due date for the contract, as such I expect you 2 back before morning. Lione, Mine, good luck and good hunting." Mine and Lione gave her a quick nod before leaving themselves. After everyone else left Boss just gave another sigh and a wry smile came to her face, "I have the feeling that boy is going to change this entire war with his powers." Giving one last sigh before she got up to go meat with one of her contacts with the Resistance giving a small mental prayer to Ogre that he will do better in his next life.
