they say that sometimes life deals you bad hands so that way you can enjoy the good hands. And they also say life is a highway and one you'll have to ride. But I say all that can suck it. My name is Justice Kimura and I was cursed with something two years ago. They say that something happened that night ten years ago. On that night a classmate was comatose, one amputated, one blinded and one killed then five years ago another classmate went off the rails and was put into a mental home. I couldn't handle it so I left and went to somewhere quiet and overseas Beijing, Mumbai, Rome, Paris, Cardiff, Los Angeles, Chicago, Adelaide, Brisbane, Dallas, Denver. But now I've settled down in Miami however I don't know how long I'll stay here for. But until then I'll cruise around in my 1969 Dodge Charger looking for a good time.
Kimura was just driving down the streets of Miami, when several cars shot past him, he knew that meant only one thing; a street race. Since coming to Miami he enjoyed this little part of life. He managed to find them and park his car
"Yo homie" a Man said "You up tonight bruh?"
"You know it Jess" Kimura said as he lined up on the grid, as an attractive blonde walked over to him, she wore bright pink flares and a skimpy white and purple top. Kimura smirked as he handed her some cash for the prize pool. Smirking Kimura revved the engine a bit to scare the other racers who had imports and tuners, while Kimura had American Muscle on his side. And something a bit extra in his engine
"READY!" the blonde said as she raised her left arm, "SET!" "GO!" she shouted as the six cars took off with Kimura blasting off the line in first place. The roar of his charger drowned out all the other cars engines and the roaring cheer of the crowd. Kimura was smiling as he took the lead before going into a drift as he looked back to see the cars way behind him. Inhaling and exhaling calmly he continued the drift until he came to the straight away and took off, his engine howling and he tried to merge the throttle with the floor as the engine glowed with a fiery red colouring. The crowd cheered as he was nearly lapping the others. He smiled knowing he could see the finished line which he soon crossed, while drifting.
"That's my man, that's my homie" the organiser said as he handed Kimura his winnings and smiled as he saw all the girls in skimpy outfit dancing to the trance music playing "You sticking around, maybe take a honey or two home amigo?" the organiser said
"Nah man, I got to work tomorrow" Kimura said
"That sucks, but understandable" the man said before Kimura took off.
"I'm home" Kimura said before groaned "Please tell me you're wearing something"
"Yes, I've got a nightgown" a girl said
"I'm serious Roja!" Kimura said seeing a girl in a black lacy nightgown with black square framed glasses on which hid her vibrant green eyes a bit, she also had pinkish red hair that was tied back in two twin tails and became a bright orange at the tips. This Roja, a succubus that rather than going after men or women to sustain herself, Roja actually survives by reading comics and manga, playing video games and watching anime. She is an odd one out of her race but it happens, once in a blue moon which happened to be showing on the night of Roja's birth; she now lives in the human world and is a part of the caretakers, a network of people who guard, help and look after the Riders.
"So did you win?" Roja asked
"You think I didn't?" Kimura asked as he slid off his jacket
"never doubted you" Roja said taking her glasses "C'mon bedtime, we've got work in the morning" she said
"You got it" Kimura said drinking some milk. Roja looked annoyed and handed him a glass.
"Out of a glass next time cowboy" she said before going to bed. Kimura just blink and poured himself a glass before going to bed
"Showtime" Roja said as she opened her store, a comic book store, while Kimura carried in some boxes of new comics.
"New comics" Kimura said
"Okay, let's see three boxes of normal comics, one of manga and one of restricted material" Roja said
"I'll get the bags for the adult comics" Kimura said
"Thanks" Roja said as she started to unbox the comics and graphic novels. Kimura came back with a bunch of blacked out bags and placed them on the counter before taking the manga to the Magna section and started to put them on the shelves in their respective series
"Oh hey, the class-E chronicles" Roja said making Kimura freeze and sigh "It's the final volume
"Yeah, no thanks" Kimura said
"Why not?" Roja asked
"I don't want to be reminded of the shit that went down then" Kimura said
"Oh, I'm sorry" Roja said as she started to bag the adult graphic novels and comic in the bags which had room for the barcode and title. "Hey, think you can make some deliveries today?"
"Sure" Kimura said as he gathered up the amount of boxes on the counter Roja set there as she opened the store. Once the deliveries were in the Charger Kimura grabbed the bagged adult comics and went over to the restricted section, which was kept locked so that way no kids could get in there. Kimura mention he saw this done a country store with their guns and rifles, Roja thought it was good idea and added it in there. Soon the store was busy with kids and teenagers looking for the latest issues of their favourite comics and manga. The most popular manga was the Class-E Chronicles which was written by Mimura since Fuwa went missing. Mimura was also a producer of a TV series which Roja loved watching
"I'll be off" Kimura said as he grabbed the keys to his Charger and started to do the local deliveries.
It was about lunch time when Kimura did his final delivery, but something was off in the air. He walked over to the door and knocked on it while observing the neighbourhood, which was usually filled with gang members but it was empty today
"Hello?" the house owner said
"Hey, I'm from Rush Comics, I've got a delivery for-WHOA!" Kimura shouted as he was pulled inside and the door was closed
"Shh, he's coming" she said
"Who is?" Kimura asked
"Hellfire" the woman said making Kimura frown. He had heard of Hellfire previously. He was someone who just showed up and over powered all of the gangs and went around to different areas ordering money for protection, usually protection from him. Kimura could feel his other side because of this. He continued on with the delivery and handed over the package and got the woman to sign before leaving the house. Looking down the road he spotted a man with black hair containing dark red streaks, a goatee and van dyke beard, military clothing and chain wrapped around his arm. Kimura smirked before getting in his charger and revving the engine before taking off. Kimura drove past Hellfire and glared at him, which made Hellfire smirk. Once Kimura was gone Hellfire walked away as well. Tonight would be fun
Kimura was just about to close up the shop when he heard chains rustling
"G'day mate" the man from before said
"Hello, sorry but we're closed' Kimura said locking the door and went to walk over to his Charger
"No prob mate, I'm just here because some idiot forgot to pay the toll, now they have to pay" the man said pulling up and igniting the chain before throwing it forward like a whip which made Kimura sigh and grab the molten chain while glaring at the man
"Nice catch mate, now what about this one hey?" Hellfire asked as he pulled out a bottle of beer and ignited it "Head's up" he gleefully cackle as he threw the bottle. And again Kimura caught the object, only to blow out the fire and scull the boiling hot beverage like it had come straight out of a fridge. He then belched releasing a cloud of hot steam. Hellfire was awestruck
"What the fuck?" Hellfire asked
"Yo Mate, thanks for the bevie!" Kimura said before his eyes were on fire. "but now it's time you were chucked on the barbie mate" he said as he conjured up a fireball. Before waving his arm making a flame whip. "Anything you can do, I can do better" Kimura snarked as he wrapped the whip around Hellfire's chian and ripped it out of the Australian's hand
"Well shit the bed" Hellfire said as he threw a fireball at Kimura. Only instead of incinerating him, it just make his skin glow.
"Wrong move drongo" Kimura said as his skin turned black and was blown away as embers revealing a skull shaped like a helmet with glowing eyes and marks on it.
"What the fuck are you?" Hellfire asked
"Vengeance" Kimura said as he rolled his shoulders before he noticed that Hellfire took off on his bike. Growling he got into his car and drove after Hellfire, the tyres and engine caught alight, the blower on top shooting out flames with each press of a gas pedal. After waiting thirty seconds Kimura as the Ghost Rider took off after him
"Shit the bed. What in the great name of Vegemite was that?" Hellfire asked as he stopped his bike, only to hear the Ghost Charger "Oh give me a bloody break" Hellfire said as he took off as Ghost Rider chased him. To Hellfire it seemed like Ghost Rider was playing with him. Speeding up and then backing off before speeding up again until he fully backed off completely making Hellfire feel relief, only for fireballs to shoot out of the blower at Hellfire. He was about to be roasted when a red circle appeared stopping the Ghost Charger. Out of the circle stepped Roja who looked at him as Ghost Rider stepped out of the car
"Well would you look at that, Bonehead got stopped by his bitch!" Hellfire shouted, only to be nearly hit by a fireball making him scamper
"Cool off bonehead" Roja said as she summoned a downpour of water making the flames on Ghost Rider's head were extinguished. Kimura coughed and spluttered as he tried to dry himself off. "What was that?"
"Hellfire, the guy that has been demanding payment from people otherwise he burns them, anyway he tried to burn Rush Comics and the Rider decided to have some fun with him I guess" Kimura said
"I see, well that could be a problem
"How so?" Kimura asked
"From what I could tell Hellfire's powers are similar but different at the same time" Roja said confused
"Come on let's get home" Kimura said as the pair got into Kimura's Charger and went home.
That night Kimura was looking up Hellfire on his laptop when he felt something soft leaning against him
"Sleepy" Roja said as she collasped against him, she changed into a black tank top and some lavender boy shorts
"This is the couch not your bed Ro" Kimura said
"Don't care" she said "What are you working on?"
"Research onto Hellfire" Kimura said
"You think he could have been exposed to whatever your classmates were?" Roja asked
"No, like my powers he's appeared to be mystical. I'm just curious how he got them" Kimura said
"You don't think there could be another one of them do you?" Roja asked putting her glasses on
"No, I don't think so" Kimura said
"So what is he?" Roja asked
"I'm not sure. but if he comes back around I'll deal with him" Kimura said.
G'day Guys Grizz here with a new ACDH spin-off starring Justice Kimura as Ghost Rider, so why the car? Well Kimura's Ghost Rider looks like Robbie Reyes since he's a bit cooler than Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch as Ghost Rider. Also this will be a bit more goofier since we're dealing with something that's a bit out there and the villain is out of Agents of SHIELD, who in the comics was the grandson of the original Ghost Rider Carter Slade who can only channel Hellfire through a chain, hence the name.
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
