User Monster updated his message board...

Made it to East LA. Gotta say, I've seen better. But I have been looking into that recent battle that took place here. Apparently it might be a really powerful being known as a Ghost Rider. So, hopefully I won't have to fight him. Seriously. I will get my ass handed to me.

Wish me luck!

Comments:
Gwenpool: You'll do great.....at getting your ass kicked.

Viv: The success rate has been calculated to be 20%

Wiccan: Ouch. If you need some back up....call someone else.

Monster: Okay, I have, like, 20 comments to this post, and they're all telling me I'm gonna get my ass kicked.

Scarlet Witch: I'll be sure to lead the Strikers after your death.

Monster: Jesus.

Downtown LA....

You looked at your phone while Damon made the last arrangements for his friend. You were really excited to meet another Striker. Well, one of the OGs.

Damon: He thinks he found the new Ghost Rider.

You looked up as Damon placed his phone back in his pocket.

Y/N: Where is he?

Damon: Some street race. I suggest you head over there as soon as possible.

You nodded and grabbed your mask before you stood up. You scratched your neck again which Damon noticed.

Damon: You alright, kid? You've been scatching your neck quite a bit lately.

You knew that. You just didn't think anyone noticed. That mark on your neck was just itchy. Whatever it was.

Y/N: Yeah. I'll be back late.

You placed your mask on and walked out to the balcony. Damon tried to call out to stop you, but you had already leadped off the side.

You forgot you couldn't fly.

Y/N: AHHHHHH SSSSSSHHHHHHHIIIIIIiiiiiiittttt!!!

Damon heard you land and winced.

Damon: I hope he's okay.

You had just fallen 40 stories into a rose bush.

Thank God for a healing factor.

A few miles away, Robbie clenched his steering wheel as the cars around him reaved their engines.

Racer: Double or nothing, Reyes. This one counts.

Robbie gritted his teeth. Double or nothing. This was the chance to make major money. This was a chance to get him and Gabe away from Hillrock Heights for good. He just needed to win.

The light changed to green, and they were off.

Robbie hit the gas and sped off with the others as the crowd cheered them on. He spun his wheel and pulled the brake to drift around the first corner with ease, making himself smirk.

Robbie: Whooooo! Yeah, and that's how you race, Eli!

Eli: Don't get cocky. This is a huge chunk of change you can't afford to lose. Just let me take over, Robbie. You can pay back the favor later.

Robbie: I don't need favors. I'm a good racer. I got this.

He looked to his left and saw that a car was coming up on him. He swerved out of the way to avoid being hit, but he had to swerve back to avoid a second car.

Robbie: Ha! Nice try!

But, as Robbie rounded another corner, something appeared in his headlights. The monster sized rat looked up and let out a horrific noise. Bones stuck out of it's body, and it had a row if sharp teeth. Robbie thought there were two of them, but it was just one. It had two heads.

Robbie hit the brakes as the creature noticed him.

Robbie: What the hell?!

The car was suddenly shook by a second creature. This time, a dog.

Robbie: Eli, what are they?!

He got no response. He tried to transform, but he couldn't. His powers weren't working. The creature contiued to attack the car as Robbie struggled.

Robbie: Eli?! Where are you?! Why can't I transform?! Help me!

Eli: Only if you stop doubting me, Robbie. We're a team or we're nothing. If you die this time, you ain't coming back.

The creature's claws dug into the roof of the car and began to peel it back. It spotted Robbie and went for the kill.

Robbie: We're a team!

Eli: Good boy.

Robbie opened his eyes as the hellflame surrounded his body.

Robbie: Gah! Not today, Chucky Cheese!

Robbie grabbed the creature and lifted it up before he slammed it to the ground. He then summoned his chains and threw them around the dog's neck.

Eli: I told you we should've burnt that entire neighborhood down when we had the chance. Now we have pups walking around smelling like that pill popping Mr. Hyde.

Robbie slammed the dog down before he surrounded its entire body with chains. He then pulled on them, slicing the dog into chunks. He turned and threw the end of the chain at the rat, before pulling it to him.

He grabbed it's neck, and lifted it into the air. There, he snapped it's neck. He dropped the body to the ground and looked around. Flames were everywhere.
------------------
You stumbled towards the location of the race with a slight headache. Yep. Jumping off of buildings will do that to you.

Y/N: I so miss my powers.

You finally found the crowd that gathered among the racers and made your way over. You blended in well enough to not get noticed. Good.

You stopped when you noticed a car. The same one you saw yesterday with the two brothers. You slowly made your way over and noticed that the oldest boy was sitting there with his head in his hands.

Racer: Pay up, Reyes. You better have that money.

Robbie sighed as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a stack of cash. He handed it to the man who began to laugh.

Eli: Don't try to explain what happened. You'll sound like a lunatic. Why did you even give him that money? We can take everyone here.

Robbie: Shut up, Eli. He won fair and square. Those monsters had nothing nothing do with him.

Racer: Every dog has his day. But this one ain't yours, pup. So I'm gonna take this cash, and you can go sit on a bone.

The man counted the money as he walked away. Robbie sighed as you walked over. You stopped. That same energy from yesterday. You felt it again. It was coming off of the car.

Was this guy....

Robbie suddenly got into his car and closed the door. You watched as he set his head down on the steering wheel.

Robbie: I failed him. I completely failed Gabe.

Eli: The money's yours, Robbie. Screw that guy! We were winning a fair race when those monsters showed up! Get that money back. You need it to make sure your brother survives. Isn't that what you want?

Robbie looked up as he began to breath smoke.

Robbie: You're right.

Robbie hit the gas and sped down the road as you watched. That couldn't be good. You immediately gave chase by foot as Robbie followed the racer down the street. His car was suddenly engulfed in flames as Robbie changed into his Ghost Rider form.

Eli: Pedal to the metal, Robbie!

Robbie found the racer's car and hit the gas. He slammed his car against the man's.

Racer: Gah! Reyes?! What the.....

Robbie: Hssssss!

Racer: Fucking hell?!

Robbie slammed his car against the man's once more, sending it off the road and into a ditch. Robbie hit the brakes and looked over the railing. His eyes then went wide.

The racer was ejected from his car. His body was laying there, lifeless.

Robbie: No. No no no no no!

Robbie changed back and jumped out of his car. He rushed down to the man to check on him. At that time, you finally reached the scene. Robbie looked at the man as you examined the wreck.

Y/N: Jesus.

Robbie: Oh God. Holy shit! I killed him! Eli, I killed him!

Eli: Fucker had it coming! Take the money, kid.

Robbie looked at the body and shook his head. He couldn't believe what he had done. He killed this man. His blood was on his hands.

Eli: Take the money.

Robbie hesitated, before he reached out towards the man. You slowly popped out your claws, but the roar of an engine caught both of your attentions. You turned around as something flew over your head.

It landed before Robbie and came to a stop.

???: You....

Robbie and you slowly looked to see who had spoke. Your eyes went wide.

???: Who the hell are you, and what the hell are you doing?!

Y/N: What the hell....

Robbie: Is that thing?!

???: Me? I'm the same as you, kid. I'm a Ghost Rider. Now, you'll pay for your crimes!

You seriously missed your powers.
