Ghost Rider

A few weeks went by when Cain and Zarathos became one. When Cain started working in the mechanic shop. As he and Carter work or repair cars. Cain had so been asking questions to Carter of what it was like in the old cowboy era. Knowing now Carter has been in this world seeing how things have changed in his own eyes.

Carter has been telling him old stories and adventures he's been through and meeting a lot of incredible people. Along with that, he had to go up against the creatures that were in the shadows that Cain had thought were myths or legends.

With his orphan family, it was nice getting to know them. That feeling now he has a family with lots of little brothers and sisters as well as a caretaker who has a role as the mother of him and the kids. He knows now he can move on from the burden of losing his family back in his life. But now he isn't Johnny anymore. His new name and body for a second chance is Cain Blaze, who has a big, goofy, and funny family. He will do whatever it takes to protect them.

At the time he came from his first job the little kids expressed expression when they met with a surprise when his boss had let him keep a motorcycle. The first thing they did was plead for him so they could get on the beautiful motorcycle and take them for a ride, which he did as he went back and forth from the neighborhood that they lived in, with each person having a turn at it to ride with him. Rebecca's expression was the funniest and relief. The relief was that she was glad she didn't have to see him alone to reach his job now, and it was funny when she took a spin with him, and when she did, she didn't want to ever get near the motorcycle.

As days went on, doing his job and being with his family. When it was nighttime, things were different. That was because when his family was fast asleep, Cain escaped out of his bedroom window to take his motorcycle further away from his home so his family wouldn't get suspicious of him leaving at night time if they heard his motorcycle in the middle of the night.

The reason why was that Zarathos was training him to be ready when he began to go out as a vigilante. When every night they go out to do it, they are in an abandoned building that has been abandoned for a failed business that was a forgotten NASCAR that has been abandoned for a long time, and with no cameras there. Zarathos plans to make Cain's body and mind stronger as he focuses on using the tracks as his driving skills for his mind. As well as parkouring the destroyed building using fallen bricks that have fallen from the ceiling, floor holes, and metal bars to jump and flip if he ever has to catch up to someone on foot.

As for him training his body to become stronger, he uses heavy rocks, long wires, and rusted chains as his workout. That for weeks, he has been using pull-ups as he wrapped chains around to hold rocks as he uses the two ends of chains wrapping around his heaps, push-ups using heavy rocks on his back, jump ropes as wires, crunches, planks with heavy rocks too, and leg lifts. To develop his chest, shoulders, back, and legs, he carries hefty weights. Since every part of his body will be under stress from being out doing vigilante. These calisthenics exercises will target various body parts and help to strengthen his core.

As well as him practicing his hellfire mutant powers. Testing how far he can last longer when igniting himself in fire. That he always has to take off his shirt to do it but still can't turn into the rider mode state. Zarathos said that it would take some time for him to turn on the rider mode because he was different from any other rider who could go to that state. So he has been practicing igniting himself on fire as he creates fireball blasts, firing full-blown flames from his hands and chest.

When he noticed that his been training his whole body. What caught his attention was weapons to use when he fights someone who is armed. So he asks permission from Carter if he can use tools that he doesn't use for the shop so he could use. Carter allowed it because he has some extra tools he doesn't use that are just lying around. The only thing Cain got was a 14ft heavy-duty, thin black steel chain that he took off both hooks that were attached in each end that Carter barely used, with a razor dirt bike chain that when Carter ordered one, they gave him an extra, along with a broken motorcycle handle.

Once he gathered all the items, he used the broken handle to have something hold on as he used his fire to attach one end of the chain, following along as he melted the razor chains into the black steel chain, making it more deadly than ever. Once he finished crafting his deadly weapon, he started training with it he started swinging and swiping through the air as he left marks on the rock walls and floors, leaving a deep scratch on them.

He's been doing this routine for weeks now, going to work, having family time, and training. He noticed he started gaining muscle with all the things he'd been doing, but he started thinking it was time for him of what Carter had said to him when he got Zarathos. It's time for the world to need its rider.

----------------------------------------------------------

As Cain was driving, he heard Zarathos talking to him in his head, "So kid, you said you're ready, but what are you doing?".

Cain nodded what he said as he was ready, but he needed something to be a vigilante and said, "Yeah, but I need a disguise to cover myself with because I don't want cameras or phones to capture me. If they know who I am, it will leave my family exposed when criminals know my identity".

Zarathos hums in agreement, seeing how if he doesn't have a disguise, it will leave his family in jeopardy. Knowing they'll find his weakness, he agrees with Cain, who has to have a disguise.

As Cain parks his motorcycle, he went what looks like a pawn shop. As he went to the register, he saw a man in his thirties counting down the money he had in his hands.

Cain nocks on a table and calls out to the man. When the man saw a customer, he put a smile on his face and said: "Welcome to Jimmy Pawnshop. What can I do for you, man."

Cain crosses his arms, looks around, and says, " Yeah, do you have any gloves and a black biker helmet?".

The owner nodded as he told him to follow him around the corner. He pointed to all the gloves and biker helmets and said, "What you see here? We got all you need, kid, so which one do you want."

Cain nodded as he looked at what was right in front of him for a minute and said, "I'll take the black tactical shooting hard knuckle gloves and the black Atles 3.0 Helmet with the black visor because I don't like the sun on my eyes".

The owner nodded at that and said "Yeah it's better to have a black visor when riding a bike so you won't have the sun in your eyes when you drive" The owner took the items of what Cain said and walked to the cashier and started adding all up and said "That would be 39$". As soon as he heard that. Cain paid for the item took it, and left the shop, waiting for the night to come.

----------------------------------------------------------

When nighttime came, we saw Cain driving his bike in the back alleyway. As soon he parked his back, he got up and looked and said to Zarathos, "So this is where evil is coming out of". He heard Zarathos say, "Of course, and remember. We don't need a ridiculous walkie-talkie or that radio shit to listen to what police officers say when criminals are about to kill a suspect or whatever. I'm your radar when someone happens to do something evil. We can be there on time, taking them down before they do it, so eyes sharp, kid".

Cain nodded and smiled under his helmet. He knelt down and put his on the motorcycle tank and heard Zarathos "What are you doing?". Cain started to heat up his hands, and Blake started to spend while saying to him, "When you told me about, you can change a horse or vehicle to a rider mode". He heard Zarathos saying yeah and continued, "Well, I'm changing the color of my bike so it won't be noticeable whose riding this color bike, and what I'm seeing, it's working. "

As he was done, he wasn't met with the dark blue with a unique flame. He was met with dark black ashes on his bike. Now that it blinded in the dark, he smirked under the helmet and said, "Now let's get down to business."

----------------------------------------------------------

"Please, you have the money now. Please let us go, I'm begging you," the man said as he was in front of his family. He was protecting them. Right in front of them was a group of thugs that were trapping him and his family in the corner where armed.

"Oh, don't you worry about that. We're not leaving now. I see 2 beautiful girls that look like me, and my guys want to have something to play with".

The man who appeared to be the group leader said that while walking closer to them he was blonde and had a blue hoodie.

As they were getting closer to them, the father tried to fight back, but the leader moved to the side and pushed him to friends. They all started pushing him around until one tripped him to the floor, and following along, one thug kicked him in the stomach.

The leader laughed at what he was seeing and said, "Hahaha, now that was brave, but damn, guess we hold on to girls later but let's have fun seeing how many bones we can break, right fellas". They all agreed as they started beating up the pore man.

As for the family, they were just watching their father and husband getting beat up by the thugs as the mother held her daughter and son tightly, seeing what was happening right in front of her eyes. The boy, no older than 7 years old, broke from his mother's grip and ran toward the thug, hearing his mom calling out to him desperately.

"Let go of my dad!!" The kid reached out to one of the thug's shirts and tried to pull him away from his dad. But he wasn't having it, grabbed the kid's shirt and threw him to the other side of the ground, leaving a small scratch on the kid's cheeks.

The thug reached into his pants pulling out a Glock 17. When the mother and father saw what was about to happen, they screamed loudly, begging him to don't do it.

The kid has tears in his eyes from how hard he was thrown to the ground, and when he looks up, he freezes when he feels the barrel on his forehead and hears the thug say to him, "Close your eyes, kid."

The thugs countered beating up the dad as he closed his eyes. What was going to happen to his son, following along with the mother and the daughter holding each other tighter?

As the family closed their eyes, they heard a loud sound of a rattling swing followed along with what sounded like a body hitting the floor.

Everything was silent after that as the father didn't feel any pain anymore, along with the mother and the daughter, who didn't hear the sound of their dad and husband being beaten anymore. As they opened their eyes, they were in shock at what they were seeing.

When the kid didn't feel the cold barrel on his head, he opened his eyes and looked at everyone, including the thugs who were looking in his direction.  He looked down, seeing the thug that was pointing a gun at him on the ground, facing down, noticing the big gash that ripped out his face as a lot of blood started to come out, making a big puddle.

The kid heard a rattle right next to him. As he looked to his left, and saw what looked like a Black steel chain, but it looked scary crafted as it was some of the pieces of the thug's skin and saw disappearing in the darkness.

Then they heard footsteps in the darkness. As they were watching this, the daughter, who's older than 16, took out a phone and started recording.

As soon as they saw who it was. It looks like a man who is 5'9 and is wearing a black helmet, a black leather jacket with a black hoodie underneath it, black paint, and black boots. Along with black armor gloves, he wrapped the chain and attached it to the side of his hip like a cowboy, it rattled as he took a step, and he was standing right in front of the kid who looked like he was protecting him.

The thug didn't know what to think as he saw one of his friends on the ground dead. He stomps forward and yells as he takes out a switchblade "The hell you supposed to be, huh!!! YOU KILLED MY FUCKING FRIEND, YOU MOTHER-".

He followed through with his swing only to be blocked by the black biker's firearm, stopping the strike from landing. The black biker grabbed the leader's arm in a powerful grip, preventing him from backing away. Without a pause, the black biker unleashed a furry of powerful punches to the leader's face. The black figure then grabbed the leader's forearm and locked it under his armpit. With a jolt, he twisted the leader upwards, effectively breaking the arm.

Before the leader could yell in pain, he was once again assaulted with punches in the face. He was only allowed to fall when the biker man let him go. Once he landed on the ground, the biker crunched and landed two punches that echoed in the area, followed by a loud crunch when the biker pulled his arms back and shot forward with full force, hitting him in his Addams apple, leading to the leader death with last short breath. This all occurred within seven seconds, leaving the leader's group in shock.

The biker finally talked in a dark tone that was covering his voice from the helmet, "I'm Vengeance".

He slowly stood up imitating as he was waiting for them to make a move. The group doesn't know what to do after seeing what he did to the leader and their friend. They all slowly circling him knowing we'll they can't take him on one by one.

Within a second, all hell broke loose as they all started swinging at him. The only thing he was doing was blocking and turning, letting their flying punches past him. Until one was behind him, grabbing him and holding him down One of them punched just once on till he was met with a kick in the balls as well as hearing a crunch.

As the biker did that he grabbed the person who holding him twisted himself and turned grabbing the person into a headlock, kicking behind his knees grabbing the man's back hair, and slamming his head to the ground knocking him out and leaving two people left the guy he kicked in the balls couldn't handle the pain got knocked unconscious.

As this was going on, the father reached to his wife and daughter tightly and reached his right hand, calling out to his son. But he was distracted or hypnotized as he memorized the biker fighting the thugs. He watches as the two thugs finally work together to take out the biker hitting when he is distracted, with one of them allowing the other to hit him. But the kid was amazed that it looked like the biker didn't even feel it as it just pushed him a little bit. Until he caught one of them pulling out the gun, so he warned him, "Watch out!"

The biker turned and leaned to the side, feeling the bullet barely grazing his left shoulder. He took out his chain, twisted himself while jumping back as he dodged the bullet, and swung the chain full force, hitting the guy's chin up and making the thug flip backward once he landed on his feet, he turned and wrapped his chain to the final guy's neck. When the thug felt the chain wrapping around his neck he could feel that it was cutting his neck, he didn't have time to scream when the biker pulled it full force, reaping the neck off his skin as he was pulled by force but the biker knocked the air out of him when he speared him to the ground, knocking him out.

The only thing you heard was the family's shaky breath as they all were trying to calm down. Follow in the footsteps of the biker as he knelt right in front of them.

They were waiting for what was to come next when they heard him saying in a calm voice to make them feel better, but still had the dark voice that was blocking it because of the helmet, "Are you guys okay?".

The father nodded and said, "Thank you, we don't know what would happen if you weren't there". The biker nodded and said to reassure them "But I am now".

He got up and said, "You should call the police. They'll take it from here". The father and the mother took out their phones trying to call the police. As they were doing that, the biker started to walk away. After a few steps, he noticed the left shoulder where it was glazed from the shooting. He looked down at the guy that he had kicked in the balls, seeing that he was wearing a black body armor bulletproof vest that is a tactical enhanced multi-threat vest, he started pondering that he needed it more than he does if go up against someone who has a gun or rifle. He took it off the knocked-out guy's body and started to walk away from the shadows.

As the minutes went by, the parents started to notice that their kids were missing until they saw their daughter standing next to the wall, looking at the corner. As they went where their daughter was, they looked through the corner and saw the black biker putting on the bulletproof vest as he sat on his motorcycle.

But what really got their attention was their little son slowly walking towards him. The mother was about to intervene, but the father held her and just told her to keep watching.

As Cain finished putting the bulletproof vest over his hoodie, he slid right back to his jacket again and turned on the motorcycle. When he was about to go, he looked up and saw the kid right in front of him.

What he saw was the kid who had his eyes in admiration of who he was looking at right in front of him. It was complete silence only you heard was the sound motorcycle engine.

The kid slowly smiled and said, "Are you one of those heroes, Mister? " Cain looked at him slowly, shook his head, and said to him, "I ain't no hero, kid. I'm just a guy who puts bad people where they belong on the ground, not getting up or putting them 4 feet under".

The kid shook his head and said, "Well, I think you are one, but better because I heard this from a movie. Sometimes the world doesn't need a hero but a monster."

Cain shook his head and said to him, "No, Kid, the world doesn't need a monster". The kid was starting to lose his smile until the vigilante said something better that made the kid's day even better: "But the world needs kid. Is Vengeance".

He started riding forward until he was stopped by the kid saying to him out loud, "So that you vigilante name. Vengeance."

He looks over his shoulder, seeing the kid looking at him in wonder, and he says to him, "That's my symbol, kid". The kid looked at him in confusion and said, "Then what's your name?".

When Cain thought back to when he met Carter about the tale of the rider legends, they never had a name, but he knows it well, and the world is going to hear that. Letting them know that he was coming for them and saying to the kid, "I'm the Ghost Rider Kid." As soon he said that he sped away in the darkness, leaving the kid memorizing his hero's name and whispering, "The Ghost Rider is the symbol of vengeance but more like the spirit of vengeance." he smiled as he got the cool name from his hero.

As they heard police sirens and ambulance, the girl had taken a picture and video of him the whole time and was preparing the world that Texas has its own hero now and its name is The Ghost Rider.
