Holy shit, it's been awhile. I've been so busy with an rp forum that I nearly forgot about Fanfiction. But it's cool, I've been watching my favorite scenes from Ghost Rider and I think I can write again.

Chapter 21: The Temptress and the Rider

"Today, we are offering tryouts for someone to play during our prom night," A man on the loud speaker called out. "For those who go to Westfield High and would like to sign up, please write your name on the checklist in front of you."

Sora found that announcement to be interesting, he indeed went to Westfield High and the idea of playing before a crowd of people greatly increased his interest. He and Roxas were walking through the Visitors Center when that announcement played, a lot of people were interested in it, so was Sora.

"Hey dude, you got to sign up for that. You're an awesome guitarist and singer, do you have any idea how many chicks will line up for that?"

Knowing my rep, very few, Sora sighed, "No I don't, but I'm not going to sign up."

"Whaaaattt!?" Roxas yelped, "But… but this would be a great opportunity for you!"

"So? Maybe I'm not interested in being a guitarist," Sora lied.

"That's a load of crap," Roxas scoffed, "You wouldn't be interested if you didn't have loads of musical sheets on your room, or a poster of famous guitarist Neku Sakuraba in your room?"

Sora veered around and stared at him, "How did you…"

"Dude, you're not good at hiding things you know," Roxas smirked, "Under your bed? It's a classic hiding spot."

Sora folded arms and frowned, damn his persistence. It's not as if he wasn't interested in being a guitarist, it's the fact he isn't allowed to have a steady normal life… well, you know what I mean. He could barely manage his personal life, let alone handle a music career and his time as the Ghost Rider. If he lived long enough that is. Sora decided not to respond to the comment and continued to walk through the Visitors Center. The main hall of the place wasn't as busy as it usually was, but there were some visitors here looking at the art or the stuff in the glass cases on display. He was making his way amongst them when he nearly bumped into a familiar face.

"Aerith?" Sora gasped, "Sorry, I was not paying attention and—,"

"No, no it's fine," Aerith said automatically. "Please, it's no problem."

Sora sighed, "No really I—,"

"I said it's all right!" Aerith burst, then she stormed past him and walked off.

Ah hell, Aerith can't stand to be around me too… she was the first person to believe in me… and she thinks I screwed it up. Sora frowned, lowering his head and putting his hands in his pocket. Everything he tried to do seem to fall up short, he seemed to only have little friends in the world and he kept screwing over one friendship after another.

"Um, what was that?" Roxas asked, who came over when he heard the commotion.

"Her name is Aerith, we didn't go on good terms," Sora sighed heavily, walking on.

Roxas watched him walk off and looked at the girl, well, it wasn't his business to get involved with his personal life… but his career, that's another story. He ran over to the sign in booth and grinned, Sora was an awesome guitarist, he just needed the right nudge.

Now, while Roxas was doing that, Sora was just walking amongst the crowd. Losing himself in the mass throngs of people, hoping that he could blend in and disappear from sight… disappear from pain. But that was a fool's dream, or his foolish dream anyway. He stopped in front of little picture on the wall and read the caption and description:

Morbius's Tomb

Morbius was a powerful vampire, cruel, evil, and blood thirsty. Feeding upon the humans of the world and turning those into ones of his kind, he was revered as the lord of the vampires. Morbius had many eniemes, and he was careless to allow himself to believe he was invulnerable, he was slain because of it. But, legend states that before his murder, he sealed away a portion of his spirit into a tomb bounded by dark heathen gods, saying that only his true heir could open the tomb and unleash its power.

Morbius's Tomb…the very same thing Mephisto sent me to stop, I wonder if Vincent would know about this. Sora examined the picture above the caption, which showed a picture taken in a Sepia color, the building in the picture was a round mausoleum with intricate designs on the top of the doorway. They certainly look real… hm, I've seen those symbols before…

Just then though he felt something hard being pressed against his lower back, his eyes widened and he slowly stood straight up.

"Please tell me that's just a pistol barrel," Sora joked, flinching when he heard the gun click.

"No, I'm just really happy to see you," The stranger joked back, but then nudged his back. "Outside, now."

Sora complied with the stranger for two reasons: first, whoever the stranger was told him to head to the door leading to the forest of the island, which is heavily dense and very dark, perfect to go 'Ghost Rider' all over this person's ass. The second reason, and the most reasonable: he didn't want to get shot. He made his way to the back doors and open them up, the person nudged his back and they walked right into the forest.

After walking what Sora guessed to be fifteen minutes, they stopped at a small clearing of the forest where little light showed through. Funny… Sora mused as he was told to stop. I should have transformed automatically the moment we entered the forest, whoever this person is, no innocent blood stains the soul.

"Alright then, where can I find Vincent Valentine?" The stranger demanded.

Vincent? This person knows about him? Better play dumb, it'll help with getting info. Sora felt the gun press more into his back and decided to answer, "No, I don't know anyone named Vincent."

"Don't lie, I know about the two of you," The stranger barked.

Okay, interesting, let's see what the connection is. "Look, what makes you think I even know this Vincent?"

"Look kid, I don't want to kill you. But I need to find him, and I know you know where he lives, after all…"

Sora grimaced, does this stranger know he's Ghost Rider? This stranger must, that's the only connection that I can think of.

"…You're his Godson."

Sora froze, what did this person say? Did he hear this person say 'godson'?

"What did you say…?" Sora asked.

"You're his Godson, Vincent is your Godfather. Don't toy with me!"

"You can't be right! There's no way… that's not possible!" Sora demanded.

"Vincent loves his Godson, he's been protecting you since you were born. Many times we've tried to capture you, and many times he's come to save you. But he's not here this time, and I have no choice." The stranger pulled the hammer of the gun back. "You're coming with me."

That's it, he couldn't take it anymore. It's time to end this, he wasn't going to be some hostage, not while he has the power of Hell's bounty hunter in him.

"Heheheh, looks like you should have done your homework," Sora chuckled, a demonic edge was in his voice as he spun around and grabbed the stranger's gun hand. "You've picked the wrong kid to kidnap."

As he finished that he broke into a wide grin and his face caught flame and transformed him into the Ghost Rider. The stranger looked shocked at the transformation and was thrown backwards by Sora, the person slammed into a tree and landed hard on the ground. Thinking he defeated the person, he walked up to the figure to see who it was, only to get knocked back when the person flipped up with amazing agility and kicked him back. He flipped through the air and landed on his feet, only to have his jaw drop when the person stepped into the light.

It was a girl, a hot girl, she wore a maroon bikini and had a sash across her waist, her hair was short and brown, and her eyes were blue and green. She drew a second gun and picked up the first one, grinning slyly.

"Let's play."

"So um, who are you looking for?" Tidus asked, walking with Yuna as they entered the Visitor's Center.

"Oh, just a family friend," Yuna replied, wrapping a sash around her waist, not bothering to change from her bikini.

"Right… well you came to the right guy," Tidus grinned. "I pretty much know everyone in our school, just tell me his name."

Yuan sighed, "Well, if you must know. His name is Sora Shimomura."

"Sora," Tidus frowned, "You're looking for the school's biggest asshole?"

"I guess," Yuna said idly. "Is he here?"

Tidus frowned and looked around the Center, finally he pointed over to his side and nodded, "That's him."

Yuna turned over to where a boy in a white T shirt was talking to a girl in a pink swimsuit, then the girl yelled something and she walked off, leaving the boy alone. My my, little Shimomura has grown. Last time I saw him is when Blackout ordered his men to take him from his house when he was five, of course, Vincent got in the way and we were forced to retreat. I can't believe he wants me to do this, I couldn't even stomach the thought of kidnapping him when he was five. She frowned at the orders given, now that she found him she would have to do her job. She turned to Tidus and smiled.

"I have to go now, thank you for helping me find him."

"H-huh? That's too bad, I kinda wanted to us to talk more," Tidus frowned, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Tell you what," Yuna said, picking up a nearby piece of paper and writing something on it. "Call me on the weekends and we'll talk some more, 'kay?"

"Yeah, sounds cool," Tidus took the paper, he looked like he won the thousand dollar jackpot.

Yuna giggled a bit before walking towards Sora, who was reading something hanging on the wall. She took out a pistol that was hidden on the inside of her sash and pressed it against his back…

…Which led to the events that happened now, two people: one vampire, and one bounty hunter, stood a few feet apart ready to fight. The one thought that stood in Sora's head was this: if some kid were to come along now, they'd see one chick and a skeleton in a white T-shirt and swimming trunks… that would be weird. But other than that, he was ready to fight, even if the girl had one advantage: she had guns. And she made good use of them, she pulled the triggers and started firing. Sora leapt in the air and tackled her before any of the bullets could hit him, the two of them rolled around in a tussle, and ending with Yuna on top of him, pinning his arms.

"You know I don't like moving this fast with a girl I just met…" Sora chuckled.

"Neither do I, so let's end this," Yuna said, as two fangs became appeared from her teeth, it became obvious on how she knew of Vincent.

She's a vampire huh, no veins for her to bite while I'm in Rider form. But I don't wanna risk it, Sora charged up a fireball in his hand, he flexed his wrist in a way that sent the fireball right at the vampire. The fireball hit the side of her head and she yelled out, leaping off him and clutching her head. Sora took this time to run up and punch her, the force of the punch sent her crashing through two trees before slamming into a third, stopping her in her path. Just as she was trying to recover he was already at her again, he grabbed her neck and slammed her against the tree.

Yuna struggled against his grip and grinned, "Why Sora, if this is what you wanted all you had to do was ask…"

"…What?" Sora asked, momentarily confused.

However, this played to Yuna's advantage, she quickly kicked him off and aimed a kick… at his 'weak spot'. Just imagine her surprise when she did kick him, and nothing happened.

Sora sighed, "There's nothing to kick, I'm all flames and bones now!"

"…Oh," Yuna blushed red, "Yeah um… that was awkward."

"Yeah, you think?" Sora said sarcastically, and then he chucked another fireball at her.

She leaped out of the way and tried shooting at him again, Sora nimbly leaped behind a tree as the bullets whizzed past him and slammed into the trees around him. He quickly charged up a fireball and threw it from behind the tree, the fire ball slammed into the ground near her and the area blew up, sending her flying. She landed on her back and fired off more shots from her gun as Sora ran for her, when the bullets didn't work she flipped back to her feet and sent a kick towards his head. Sora grabbed the leg before it could hit him and ducked low and knocked her off her other foot, sending her to the floor again.

"This is becoming a habit isn't it?" She said as he stood above her, pinning her with his foot.

"Somewhat, who are you and how do you know Vincent?" He demanded, pressing his foot on her chest and putting more pressure on it.

"Nghhh, we… we were friends… nghhhh," Yuna struggled against the pressure, even with her vampire strength she couldn't throw him off.

"What did you mean when you said you tried to kidnap me before?!" Sora continued.

"L-Lord Blackout sent us multiple times to capture you… to use you as leverage against Vincent, I didn't want him to… but we had no choice… he wanted the key to Morbius's Tomb."

"Morbius's Tomb… what the hell is even in there?" Sora asked.

"Well you see…" But Yuna broke off, she was looking behind him with shocked and fearful eyes.

Sora turned around and what he saw made him gasp too, a group of men with disfigured faces and long fangs were behind him with swords and guns: Vampires. Two of the Vampires were holding a boy with blonde hair and preventing him from moving.

"Roxas!" Sora gasped, then he remembered he was still in Rider form, there was no way he could know who he was.

"Sora, what the hell happened to you, who are these guys?!" Roxas yelped, trying to break free.

Wait…did he just call me Sora? He knows I'm the Ghost Rider?! He thought, staring at this scene with a shocked gaze. He wasn't the only one either, even Yuna seemed surprised at this.

"Why are you here, let the boy go!" Yuna demanded, standing in front of Sora. "Who sent you?!"

"I did," a cold voice spoke.

The crowd parted and a man with silver hair passed through them, the hair was receding on his head so it empathized how old Sora could guess, he wore a dark trenchcoat and had a bright silver katana strapped to his side. The man grinned evilly and Yuna looked fearful once again.

"Lord Blackout," Yuna gasped, getting on her knee and bowing.

Blackout ignored Yuna and stared right at Sora, the gaze made him almost want to flinch but he wouldn't show fear in front of this guy, he would just use the fear against him. Blackout chuckled and stood to face him.

"I knew you would return, but I didn't know it would be this soon. It's been a long time…Johnny Blaze!"

That's it. Yes, he said Johnny Blaze, it's not a typo. Well, reviewing would be awesome, please do.

Holy... over 100 reviews...wow... I haven't had a story that made those levels. Thank you for reading, favirioting, and alerting Ghost Rider. (Applauds to crowd)
