"He's got an assignment for you."
Rebecca woke
suddenly from the sleep she was enjoying. She unfolded her black
wings and stretched. She flew before a throne that seemed to be
made of light.
"You called me sir?"
A Warm loud
voice boomed from the throne,
"Rebecca My dearest angel of
vengance.. I have a task for you."
"Whatever you wish
sir."
"Mephistopheles has taken a new rider. I need
you to help him defend the contract of San Venganza and guide the
poor mortal."
"As you wish my Lord."
"I
will give you something to aid you in your mission at the Broken
Spoke Bar now go, I love you child come back safe."
Rebecca
left the Lord's throne with a good feeling. He always seemed to be
able to give hope to everyone even the lost. She had seen it many
times in her 200 years in the realms.
Rebecca was the Angel of
Vengance, a servant of the Lord used to help deliver his wrath.
She had been a mortal, betrayed by her love she had made an
accidental deal with Mephistopheles.
She had said she'd sell
her soul for a moment of true happiness. He heard her and appeared
conviently. He offered it to her and heartbroken she accepted.
She
felt her moment of true happiness but it was plauged by guilt. In
desperation she screamed out to the Lord. He had fought with The
Devil for her soul for two years.
Being who he is God
obviously
won..
**********************************************************************Rebecca
was an angel who died at 23 and had been fought over for two
years, making her appear eternally 25. She'd had a last name but
that with so many other things had faded from her memory in the
vast plain of eternity. She had medium Length blonde hair, Eyes
that were blue-green like the ocean. She wasn't petite and had 2
tattoos. She had black raven's wings with an impressive
wingspan.
Rebecca
packed a few things in a satchel excitedly. It had been awhile
since she had been on earth. She dressed herself in black lowrider
pants and a black halter (so her wings wouldn't be harmed.)
Rebecca then began her journey to
earth.
**********************************************************************The
man in front of the bar looked bored and eager to stir up trouble
Rebecca decided as she walked nearer.
"You lookin for
something missy?"
He leered at her taking in her outfit
and unusual eyes.
"'Cause I bet you we could find you
somethin' fun to do out here."
She rolled her eyes,
"Just
let me get my drink"
He was about to say something else
but became distracted when the bottle he was holding froze in his
hand.
Rebecca nudged past him and walked in the doors. She
didn't quite look like the type to be in a biker bar so she got
quite a few glances. She walked towards the bar and right into a
waitress with a tray of half-empty beer bottles.
"Oh Shit!
sorry about your shirt!" the waitress cried as she tried to
help Rebecca clean up her shirt.
Rebecca looked into her eyes.
The girl was tired and weary from having to serve the idiots in
this place. Rebecca smiled and let everybit of her healing energy
that she could give subtly flow into this girl.
"Don't
worry about it..where's your bathroom?"
The girl pointed
to the back, Rebecca thanked her and went into the bathroom,
attempting to remove the beer from her
shirt.
*********************************************BlackHeart's
POV*********
The man at
the door looked like someone who was bored, looking for trouble.
Blackheart noted as he walked nearer. This poor idiot who was
glancing at his hand and trying to figure out how his beer had
frozen cause a smirk to glance the sinfully wicked face of the
Demon.
"You Lost boy?"
Blackheart continued to
walk towards the man ignoring him. He attempted to get
inside.
"Hold it. Angels only tonight."
"Angels
huh?"
"Yeah" the man puffed up to his full
height, flexing. "You got a problem with that?"
Blackheart's
eyes flashed dangerously. He lifted his hand and touched the biker
in the chest.
"As a matter of fact..."
The sulfar
began to rage through the man turning him into a withered
corpse.
"..I
do"
**********************************************************************
Blackheart made quick work of most of the bar's patrons, most of
which didn't even have time to scream. He sensed something behind
a counter and looked to see a green eye peering out fearfully. He
smirked.
The girl jumped as she appeared behind him. He
lifted her easily peering into her eyes.
"I knew you were
here. I could smell your fear."
He smiled and waited for
the sulfar to take her
over.
Rebecca
gasped as she felt the waitress's plea for help, (The healing had
given them a connection.) She stormed out of the bathroom to see
the poor girl held up by the neck by a man in black.
She cried
out in anger and the wings burst from her back, spraying drops of
blood. She waved her hand and the stranger flew off of the
waitress.
He got up and faced her. She gasped as their eyes
collided, hellfire black and icy blue.
"You..."
"You...hello
Rebecca it's been a few centuries hasn't it..."
Rebecca
hesitated momentarily before running towards the waitress who was
crying. She laid her hands on the girl and she was transported
somewhere safe.
Rebecca got up and turned around to see the Son
of Satan still smirking at her.
"What are you doing
here?"
"I suppose I could ask you the same thing..my
guess would be it's to stop me.. I don't know if I can allow
that."
Rebecca's head snapped around as two figures
appeared. Sand blew in and formed a man.
"Grissel"
Blackheart said smiling.
Water pooled and formed another man,
dripping and dangerous looking.
"Wallow..."
The
two Fallen angels smirked at Rebecca,
"Hello Angel of
Vengance.."
Rebecca hissed,
"Traitors.."
"Looks
like you're outnumbered darling, unless you'd like to join
us."
Blackheart's voice was like honey, he had inherited
his father's ability to persuade. He appeared behind Rebecca, who
seemed frozen.
He lightly grazed her cheek and looked into her
eyes.
She slapped his hand away, "Get away from me, I
could never join you."
He sighed "Pity..."
He
raised his arm and black fire rushed towards Rebecca who barely
had time to deflect it. She suddenly felt heat in her heart. She
knew where The rider was.
She got off her knees looked at
Blackheart, smirked, and disappeared.
"See you soon"
he
hissed.
"Abigor"
"What
will we do with the contract once we have it?"
Blackheart
smiled and went up to one of the corpses putting his hand on its
shoulders.
"We'll take over this world..Once city at a
time."
"What about Mephistopheles?"
Blackheart
froze, his face morphing into the Hellbeast he could
become..
"Never..mention that name."
A sudden
shrill shriek from the outside caused the Men to look at each
other and stride outside.
There stood Mephistopheles in the
shadowly wasteland of the desert.
"Mephistopheles, I knew
you'd come."
Blackheart stood infront of the others who
didn't dare look the devil in the eye.
"Long time no see
boys, where you been hiding?"
Mephistopheles's eyes found
the fallen for a moment before returning to Blackheart.
"I
know why you're here boy, that contract, and those souls, are
mine."
Blackheart smiled and caused bright lights to
appear causing Mephistopheles to cover his eyes.
"We both
know you can't hurt me here, I'm going to find the contract and
then I'll rule in your place. You've become weak old man."
"You
wish to fight me? Fine then , face the wrath of my rider."
"Ah
yes you're favorite creation, the one you gave the powers you
should have given me..Send the rider, I'll retire him. Just like
I'll retire you, Father."
Mephistopheles's face contorted
with rage. He dissappeared with a terrible shriek.
Blackheart
glared after him.
"Come on, we have a contract to look
for."
Rebecca
had found what the Lord had left for her. It was a beautiful
chopper (that since it was heaven sent wouldn't require gas and
could go as fast as you needed it too) She fell in love with the
designs, roses with thorns and black wings.
She sped toward the
city trying to figure exactly where the rider was... Her powers of
perception had been slightly clouded since
meeting..that..man..again.
She couldn't believe it. Out of all
the demons who'd escaped from hell why did it have to be this one
she was sent after.
Blackheart had interferred on one of
Rebecca's missions before. He hadn't said who he was and
she..sortof fell for him. He killed her charge and left her with a
vicious kiss (she still had a small scar in the corner of her lip)
and a promise that he'd see her again.
Rebecca sighed. She
couldn't dwell on him. She knew she had to find the rider. But
first she was going to find an old friend. Someone who would know
much more on the
situation.
"You
can't live in fear."
Johnny Blaze looked in the mirror. He
was finally going to get to redeem himself. He would go tonight
with Roxie and tell her just how he felt.
"You deserve
this...she's a sign."
"Uhh..excuse me.."
Johnny
whipped around to see a woman standing there. She was beautiful
and for a moment he forgot about his dinner.
"Who are
you?"
She sighed.
"Yeah see that's a difficult
question."
She walked by his books and looked at one of
the pages.
"Do you believe in angels Johnny?"
He
just stared.
"Ok..well that's understandable... You know
what I'm just gonna say it. I'm an angel Johnny and I'm here to
help."
He looked at her for awhile again and finally
spoke.
"Sure...so umm...why are you really here?"
Rebecca
sighed. This guy wasn't getting it. Was it really so hard to
believe? Well...yeah ok a little bit...but still!
"Fine
Johnny I'm gonna go but I'll be back later when you need me."
"Ok
bye Crazy Lady."
Rebecca got on her bike and drove off
knowing she'd be back
soon.
Johnny
watched her drive off, chuckled, and said to himself.
"Why
are the cute ones always crazy?"
He heard another
motorcycle engine and went to investigate it. He went out and saw
the bike his father had given him, which had been wrecked. It was
running by itself and it was fixed like new. Johnny saw a figure
in the shadows and pointed.
"You...stay away from
me."
Mephistopheles smirked.
"That's gonna be a
little difficult. See I own you boy."
"What?"
"I've
owned you ever since we made that little deal and now I need you.
There's a demon after a contract of mine and I want you to get it
for me."
"And If I don't want to?"
"Well
you don't really have much of a choice do you?"
Johnny
found himself on the bike which sped off as Mephistopheles
laughed.
**********************************************************************
Johnny as the Ghost rider found himself in an abandoned warehouse.
He heard laughter outside and sensed the evil He Roared and headed
outside.
The
man walked out onto the lot by the abandoned warehouse. He saw
four hooligans. No doubt up to no good.
"Hey."
"You
can't come in here. This is private..."
The four turned
aroud. The intesity in their eyes made the man
nervous.
"Property."
Blackheart glared at the
mortal who had dared chastise him.
"There was a cemetery
here."
"Yeah. Long time ago."
"What
happened to the graves?"
"They moved
them."
Blackheart stepped closer,
threateningly,
"Where?"
The man began to shake,
"I
don't know."
"Who would?"
"St Michael's
Church. They're in charge of the whole thing."
The old man
looked almost as if he was in tears.
"Look, you really
shouldn't be here."
Blackheart smirked and placed his hand
on the man, killing him.
"That's what they keep telling
me."
Suddenly the Ghost rider burst out of the warehouse
in a firey rage. An engine was heard and Rebecca flew in on her
motorcycle.
"Johnny?" she thought in
shock.
Blackheart smirked
"Looking for someone?"
The
Ghostrider roared in his terrible voice,
"Back to
hell."
"We're not gonna have a meaning
for
conversation now, are we?"
"You're going down."
"I don't think so atleast not without
you."
He said winking at Rebecca. Suddenly the wind demon,
Abigor swept in and picked Johnny off his feet. He was thrown onto
a chain, breaking his neck.
Blackheart laughed and suddenly
appeared behind Rebecca.
"I was serious about you joining
us. I may even set a special role for you in my new
earth."
Rebecca struggled against him.
"Oh yeah
and what might that be? Slave?"
He laughed,
"No
though it definitly has possiblities. I was thinking more of
Queen."
Just then the Ghostrider moved, and he caught fire
again. Rebecca smiled and threw fire at Blackheart who in turn
threw her against a wall.
She turned to see Johnny get
demolished by a semi-truck.
Blackheart smirked "Ohh that
had to hurt."
Grissel got out of the truck cockily,
"He
ain't so tough."
He smirked and started to head for
Rebecca who was cradling her arm.
A hand tapped him on the
shoulder.
"Hey Dirtbag"
He turned and saw one VERY
pissed off Ghostrider.
"Have mercy."
"Sorry,
all out of mercy."
The Ghostrider wrapped a chain of fire
around Grissel and he begain to disinigrate.
"Help
me!"
Blackheart turned in disgust to Rebecca. He held her
up against the wall with by her neck.
"You're being
foolish, joining with the opposite side again."
"Blackheart
let's go!" Abigor shouted.
Blackheart gently kissed her
lips,
"Distraction.."
he murmured then
disappeared.
She stood there breathless, she
sighed,
"Temptation."
Rebecca had led Johnny to the Caretaker's. Together they had moved him onto a bed. She was tired and collapsed. The caretaker then put her on the bed.
Johnny
woke up with a terrible headache..Last night couldn't have been
real.
He looked down and saw Rebecca on the other side of the
bed.
HE leapt out That he probably would have remebered he
reasoned.
She woke up as he leapt.
"Uhh...Hi..."
Blackheart
threw the chair against the wall and stood with his knuckles on
the table. He needed this contract.
Blackheart now knew that
this Ghostrider was a formidible foe and had the Angel girl allied
with him.
He smirked as he remebered touching her lips, the
fear, shock and longing in her eyes made him quiver with
excitement. She would be one with emotions to feed off of if there
ever was a lack of them.
"St. Michael's church." He
murmured to himself as he started on his way there.
He'd worry
about the angel another time
