The night has taken the sky on the nice quiet Manhattan streets. While continuing his ongoing crusade of demon fighting, the Ghost Rider returned to New York for some downtime. Or at least that was his original plan until he sensed a demon presence in the area.
It did not take a long time for the Succubus to sense Ghost Rider's presence from a far distance. Knowing he was after her, she licked her lips in the most passionate anticipation. After finishing her drink, she had already flown off into the night.
Off course knowing Ghost Rider, it was attack first and ask questions never. As she heard the sounds of motorcycle, Morrigan's bats swarmed around her. "It looks like this night is going to be fun. I love your fighting spirit."
Ghost Rider pulled out his fire chain. "Your charm won't work on my Succubus."
"I see the fiery lust inside that flaming head of yours."
"Gloat all you want, because, I'm going to wipe that smile off your face." Ghost Rider barked swinging his chain like a whip. As he flung his chain at the Succubus, she was already gone. Putting herself back together with her bats, she launched her projectile attack from behind.
Like a snake, Morrigan slipped around the Ghost Rider's chain. As Morrigan's bats attempted to surround the Rider, he blasted out stream of hellfire from his mouth. This distraction served Morrigan well to attack Ghost Rider with her hand blade. Luckily Ghost Rider was not totally defenseless as he parried his blade attack with his spiked gauntlets.
After clenching her teeth, it only made the Succubus hunger grew even greater. When she spread her dark wings, she launched barrage dark missiles at the Rider. Off course being a hellspwan, Ghost Rider craved fighting against demonic creatures. The cut wounds inflected upon Ghost Rider was nothing.
As both of their wounds healed up quickly, they prepared for round two of their matchup. Morrigan continued to sharpen her nails, while Ghost Rider flames grow even greater determined to finish off his foe. As they charged at each other once more, a circle seal was activated on their feet. They could barely react as it triggered a massive degenerating wave of energy. Both Morrigan and Ghost Rider had fallen right into the trap lying both weak and unconscious.
"Bring them to the hall for the ritual." A man called out to his fellow Cult members.
Having not seen Aunt May for months, Chun Li and Peter decided to pay her a home visit. Peter's old house in the queens neighborhood reminded unchanged as well as his room. Because even if Peter was out of the house, Aunt May loved him greatly like a son.
While on the visit, Peter found himself with his hands on his forehead in embarrassment. Aunt May had managed to retrieve some old photo albums of Peter and his childhood. Chun Li and Aunt May had a good laugh reminiscing Peter's old memories from baby to teenage.
From the day Peter was in Science Camp to his junior high school years, Aunt May had educated Chun Li more and more on Peter's old life. She even had taken pictures of Peter abuse from high school. Those events would include wedgies, toilet swirly, water balloon pranks and sabotaged locker traps that Peter was always a victim to.
And as the moments went deeper, Peter buried his head even further like a shy teenage girl. That was not to say that he had embarrassing moments as an adult as well. There was no stopping Aunt May constant rambling. Before she could go further, Chun Li received an urgent call from her superiors. Peter was almost relieved that it was over.
"There are people disappearing in the area?" Peter inquired after heard the news.
"Yes, my mission is to investigate the people disappearing. From the reports, it seems like they are joining some underground mysterious Doomsday Cult. So I have to uncover their plans by going undercover. I'll be counting on you to back me up from the sides." Chun Li winked at Peter.
Peter smiled holding his camera. "You got it. And I bet JJ would want some pictures as well. You be careful, nonetheless."
Receiving a tip from a homeless person, Chun Li followed a group of cloak people headed to an abandon church. Each and every one of them walked in two rows or more in a straight line. After one hooded figure passed the gate, Chun Li easily took him down and assumed his form.
As she entered the church, she heard the sounds of chanting, whispering and drum banging. She approached the Ceremony Hall Chambers. It was already surrounded with large amounts of candlelight's, religious taboos, and dark ritual atmosphere. Coming out of the doors, was the different cloak member holding a chicken and knife.
"Greetings my friends, I am glad you can make it here today to join me in this wonderful occasion. And thus bring fourth and new beginning to our world of suffering. But today is the day that we make a difference." He announced. "By offering the soul of the one who shed the blood of the innocent, we will prove fourth our new cause."
The Cult members brought in the escaped convict. He was mostly likely a criminal doing a life sentencing for multiple murders. Having escaped from prison, he was caught by the members to be their offering. As he was tied down, it was time.
"In the name of darkness and evil, let his blood be cleansed to our noble brethren. Let his soul be ones with the dark ones, as his cries are one with the dark ones combined with the demons in our custody. In demons name, be one with them, let his soul be free!" The leader called out.
As Chun Li continued to observe, she took a glance at Spider-Man crawling from the ceiling. Having put a spider tracker on one of the members, he followed their trail as well. Both Spider-Man and Chun Li nodded their heads in agreement of their assignments. While the members were distracted, it gave Spider-Man the chance to free Morrigan and Ghost Rider from their chains. He had to do it swiftly and silently.
Before the blade to touch the man's flesh, the knife was taking from his hands. Spider-Man dropped in the building knocking down the Cult leader. "Wow a costume part, you mind if I join?"
"Intruders, they are here to interrupt the ceremony, get them!" the leader called out.
As Spider-Man went for a right hook upon the leader, the Cult leader had easily caught his attack with the tightest grip he could. The grip alone was enough to shatter Spider-Man's hand if it was not for his spider strength. He grinned in cockiness. "You know you're pretty strong for an old guy."
Before the leader could make the next move, he quickly dodged the hellfire chain that swung his way. "I see you're up to your old tricks again, isn't that right, Blackheart?" Ghost Rider recognized by the dark aura.
Having been found out, the Cult Leader transformed revealing his true self. "It's been a long time Rider. I guess my father had failed to eliminate you, so I'll do it myself."
Grabbing him by the face, Blackheart caught Spider-Man sudden sneak attack. After releasing the thug, Chun Li had ordered him to get out of the building. Side to side, Chun Li and Morrigan fought off the groups of Cult members. Fortunately, they were easy opponents considering they had nothing but sharp daggers and swords to defend against. Neither one of the Cult members were experienced in hand to hand combat. They were easy pickings for the heroes, but Blackheart was another story. With burst of power, he knocked down the heroes before they were a foot away.
For the next move, Blackheart blasted a hoard of monstrous energy balls and gargoyles. With his arms crossed, he levitated in the air watching his demons fight the heroes. And even Morrigan was shoved away from the demon, failing to charm him with her power. She found herself by the neck of the demon.
With the actions of evil and misdeeds in place, Blackheart only grew stronger and stronger. With his dark demonic powers, he was able to knock down the heroes like a ball. And Blackheart was no ordinary magic user; he was a demon from the underworld. Blackheart could handle them with ease that he no longer needed the Cult members to assist.
With every strike Morrigan and Chun Li made, Blackheart evaded by slipping into the shadows. Using webbing and fire chain, Spider-Man and Ghost Rider attempted to tie up Blackheart. However the two were underestimated by Blackhearts dark magic and immense strength.
They were now at the knees from Blackhearts intense strikes. Chun Li spat out blood. Morrigan's wing was hurt. Spider-Man was beyond exhausted and sore. And Ghost Rider's flame was nearly out. As Blackheart came in close, Ghost Rider desired the will to fight. But with his power running out, his options were limited.
"Come now Rider, you know your Penace Stare does not work on me. It only makes me stronger." Blackheart reminded walking close to Ghost Rider.
Using the fire from the candles and the furnace, Ghost Rider began to channel the flames into his own. As the filled him up once more, he blew an massive flamethrower at Blackheart. The hellfire nearly engulfed Blackheart's body.
Blackheart may have been inflected, but was not hurt too badly. After Blackheart held the Rider by the neck, he felt his strength sudden decrease. This gave Ghost Rider to strike the demon with powerful left hook.
"What! What is happening to me?" Blackheart asked feeling his powerful strength weekend.
Morrigan stretched out her lustrous body. "Thank you, I feel much better now."
"Filthy Succubus creature, what did you do to me?
Morrigan was insulted. That's simple big boy, I just drained you when you wasn't looking. And I had help on the way." Morrigan glanced at Lilith, another Succubus and other half of Morrigan. "You've done well, my sweat." Morrigan complimented her rubbing her head.
Soon, Spider-Man came for surprise attack. Using a slingshot web, Spider-Man and Chun Li delivered fast powerful kicks at the demon. Reaching his arm to strike, Blackheart was slammed by Ghost Rider's flaming motorcycle. For the next move, Morrigan followed up with Arm Blade.
"You're guilty Blackheart!" Ghost Rider said swinging his chain.
As Blackheart was pinned to the wall, each of the heroes got ready for their final projectile attacks. Ghost Rider blasted another demonic flamethrower. Morrigan fired her Soul Fist projectile. Spider-Man fired his webballs like machine gun. And Chun Li finished it off with her special projectile attack at close range.
Blackheart was hurt and even his healing power was stricken. He found himself surrounded by the heroes, ready for more. Much as he hated being beaten, he admitted defeat while disappearing away in the shadows. But they knew it was not the last they seen of Blackheart.
Still it was tough battle and he was defeated. Ghost Rider had left without saying thanks or even goodbye. Whether he was shy or antisocial was always up for debate with Rider. Spider-Man and Chun Li had retreated home for relaxation. And relive some more memories of Peter despite his protest. Morrigan had felt very disgusted after sucking away most of Blackheart's power. It let a nasty side effect, leaving an awful taste in her mouth. And so she awaited her next prey through the night would satisfy her urge.
And speaking of which, it took her less than a second to sense Deadpool hiding out behind the curtain.
"Hey, I guess you spotted me there." Deadpool was already armed and ready for battle. "So how are we going to do this?"
However, rather than fighting the Merc with the mouth she had other ideas in mind. As she paid Deadpool with passionate glaze, Deadpool immediately surrendered in her arms. It was almost too good to be true as Deadpool found himself in make-out session with the Succubus. Unfortunately as Morrigan's lust grew, Deadpool's strength had begun to vitiate at a time. It was both satisfying and painful for the Merc to take.
"Hey watch it you sucking away my…" Deadpool tried to reach out for help as he was getting weaker and weaker.
The more good Deadpool felt, the less power was drained from him. It was like conflict of love and desire that took his body hold. It was too much for the anti-hero to take him. No matter how much he struggle, Morrigan had kept him down. After the final phase, she was alive again. She felt perfectly refreshed. Deadpool on the other hand was less then alive or so it says.
"Thank you; you've truly revived my hunger." Morrigan tasted her lips once again.
"Glad to be off…help." Deadpool moaned in pain and then fainted.
