CHAPTER 002

*Hey Umbra. We have arrived in the cemetery.* A beautiful voice said to the man that is currently hammering a knife

"Hapheastus Damn! Forging is really hard! I knew I should've trained when I was younger. It is almost 5 in the morning huh. Why in the world is there a traffic here in Texas this early in the morning?!" The man said in annoyance as he saw his failure of a knife

*Well, the rest of the world isn't as developed as New Olympus when it comes to traffic regulations. You do realize that there is a report about roads getting destroyed mysteriously right? And why are you even trying to forge when you literally have a Matter Altering Ring?* Sylvie pointed out which calmed Umbra a little bit

"Well you have a point there. So Sylvie, get ready to engage into battle mode anytime soon. As for Forging, I have to have some hobbies to spend my time." Umbra said as he toss his failed knife to his Failure Pile before leaving the Van

Our Hero is currently in a search for a person. You see, Umbra is what they call a summoned spirit from a different Earth. Conveniently, he was very interested in Marvel and anything fiction.

*Where could that caretaker possibly be? If I remember right, Johny Blaze would visit his Father's grave after he first turned to the Ghost Rider which was earlier tonight. That is if this situation is really similar to the first Ghost Rider movie that starred Nicholas Cage.* Umbra thought while he started searching for a random motorcycle deep in the cemetery or an man passed out while an old man overlooks the said passes out man.

"So how's your research on creating the Miracle Potion going Sylvie?" The Hero of Olympus asked as he was busy searching

*Well, it's not doing great. The Super Soldier Serum isn't exactly able to empower a human without the Vita Rays. As we both know, Howard Stark is a very secretive guy and he took the knowledge regarding Vita Rays down to his grave. I have been trying to figure out what we can use as a substitute for the Vita Ray.* Sylvie answered with a hint of frustration

"Well, I know something that can empower a human to Steve Roger's Level. However, it is quite the challenger to get since I have a deal with a God there." Umbra said as he remember the Heart Shaped Herb of Wakanda

*Really...hmmm you only have deals with a few Gods..Wait! Is it in Wakanda? Oh no. Bast isn't exactly one of the kindest God out there.* Sylvie said with disappointment

*When was the end of your deal with bast anyway?* The Techno-Symbiote asked with a hopeful voice

"Well, I don't really know when the deal is off exactly. What I do know that it is over any year after 2000 since our deal was that Wakanda wouldn't mess with the Mortal Realm for 700 years." Umbra recalled which disappointed Sylvie a little since she couldn't progress her research.

"Well, there is no use in crying over spilt milk. Do you think that Gamma Rays can replicate the effect of Vita Rays?" The Hero suggested to his symbiote.

The Miracle Potion is a task that Umbra gave to Sylvie for fun. It was in World War II when Sylvie asked for something to do since she want something to do in hee free time.

Umbra already realized that he was inside a Marvel Universe. Long story short, he realized that there may be a purple titan out in the universe that is commited enough to actually wipe out half of all the life on the universe.

And that there may be a literal Dimension devouring planets. Then there is also a huge entity that also eat planets for breakfast and may or may not head to Earth that is sending a Silver Dude Surfing through space. Then there are several powerful individuals sealed somewhere in Earth waiting to be released to wreak havoc.

So Umbra decided that he need an army to fight these threats. Which is where the Miracle Potion comes into play. He aims to make an army of really strong individuals that can atleast fight off the looming threats against humanity.

"What about the Olympian Serum? Hows that going?" Umbra asked to change topics

*There has been some minor breakthroughs in regards to the Athena Serum. The Poseidon Serum is actually scrapped due to the fact the there is already a perfect specimens of it which is the Atlanteans.* Sylvie said with a brighter tone

"That's great! Having the Athena Serum would do wonders when it comes to Scientific Breakthroughs." Umbra praised as it was one step more to a safer future. As he was praising Sylvie, he then saw what he was looking for

"Oho! What do we have here. Hello old man Carter, nice to meet you. The name is Umbra and I have some things to talk to you. But first, we need to take this young man to a nicer bed." Umbra said with an umbeat attitude as he slapped the face of the unconacious man

"Who in the Hell are you young man?! Where did you hear that name?!" The old man angrily said as he held the Hero of Olympus by his collars

"Now, now old man. Calm your cowboy ass down. Don't tell me the Devil didn't warn you about me?" Umbra said coldly as he doesn't take rudeness lightly

"Let me talk to you seriously later. Plus, I don't have anything against Spirits of Vengeance. We need to patch this guy up first and have him in his merry way." Umbra said as he realized that Johny Blaze is slightly wounded

"Rise and shine bone head. You look kind of banged up. Must've been a wild night for you." The old man named Carter Slade said as he woke up the passed out man. Which surprisingly worked because the man clearly woke up, albeit in a dazed state.

"Well hello there Mr. Blaze, don't worry that caretake right there would take care of you. No need to worry." Umbra said as he walked away from the two men towards his black Mustang.

Umbra casuallywalks towards his Mustang and opened the back of it and took the briefcase. This briefcase is not your average briefcase. It is a magical item that has been made by the Great Magician Merlin. It is a briefcase which contained a 100 sq km of land.

Umbra was able to request this piece of equipment because of a favor that Merlin owed to the Hero. It was an idea he stole from the fiction back on Earth which feature a Magic Zookeeper that takes care of Magical Animals.

[AVALON] (Absorb)

Umbra Chanted as he opened his briefcase which is called [AVALON] towards the Mustang. A portal appeared on the empty space inside the Avalon and started to absorbed the car into it making the Mustang look as if it was getting spaghettified.

With the car gone, the Hero of Olympus began humming as walked to the house where Carter Slade lives in.

"Let's get down to business. How dangerous exactly is Black Heart?" Umbra asked as he took a seat in Carter's Dining room

"Black Heart? Haven't heard that cursed named for years. Why exactly do you want to know about that devil?" Carter asked as he looked at young man in the eyes

"Let's just say, I am a Hero. The Hero of Olympus exactly. I am sure that Mephisto warned you about me if you truly are one of his bounty hunter." Umbra said confidently as he ordered Sylvie to change into Battle Mode

"So you really do exist! I never thought I would meet the bane of Mephisto in my lifetime." Carter shouted with surprise as he saw the transformation of Umbra

"Be honest with me Carter. How long can you still live?" Umbra change topics as he remembered something from the movies

"I...I don't really know. What I know is that I am dying. If that man sleeping over there is really the next Ghost Rider and Black Heart is chasing him, it only means that Black Heart was after the Contract of San Venganza." Carter said as he looked at the sky through the window

"I see... So let's get back to Black Heart. How strong is that man?" Umbra asked as he saw that Johny Blaze is way too hurt than in the movies

"The Hidden are literal Fallen Angels. They are Immortals that are cursed to roam these lands never to return to heaven. All I know that Black Heart founded Five of them to fight for his cause. The Five Fallen Angels wielded Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning. Each being experts in manipulating their specific Elements." Carter explained as he filled numerous cups of water

"I see, I can see why Johny is so banged up even though he was in his Ghost Rider Mode. Hey Carter, are you bonded with Zarathos?" The Hero of Olympus asked as he walked to the uncoscious Ghost Rider and saw the various impalements that he suffered

"You even knew about Zarathos? I am bonded with a corrupted Spirit of Vengeance named Baraqiel." Carter said which confused the hell out of the Roman Hero

"Whoa! That blows my mind! So you are telling me that not all Ghost Riders are Zarathos?" Umbra outbursted as one of his knowledge about Ghost Riders in particular was proven false

"Hey Carter. You've done a deal with the Devil. How does having a deal with a god sounds to you?" Umbra asked with a smile
