Madman on Wheels!
To Red Witch: Yeah, there's going to be mucho carnage alright! A crazy biker given superpowers? Oh yeah, let the fun begin!
To rubeshi: Well, thanks for the e-mail. I'm glad you liked this story! I hope you enjoy them!
To Raliena: Glad you liked it! Oh yeah, and Scott was the Sailor!
To HyperCaz: I don't know how to tell you! You should read 'Power of Tusk' and 'Reptile Trouble'! They are good stories! Jeremy Todd will be given a new body. Thanks for your suggestions! Oh yeah, and Phoenix wasn't a dude, Phoenix was a cosmic force.
To Aaron: The new villain's name is Motorhead, not Metalhead. Motorhead, like the heavy metal band. I do want to have a Ghost Rider/Kid Razor team-up here and maybe also feature the Astonishing X-Men.
Chapter 2: Just A Little Conversation on a Roof!
Cleveland, Ohio
Kid Razor flew over the skyline of his beloved home city, looking at the tall buildings as they gleamed in the sun.
Okay, the Kid of Rock will admit it. Razor mused as he landed on a building and stared at the skyline. Sure, Cleveland's skyline isn't remotely as famous or as revered as New York's. But hey, it's my home, and my skyline. To me, New York's skyline can't match this. Razor smiled as he looked at the buildings. This was going to be one good day.
"Penny for your thoughts, rock and roller?" Ronnie appeared next to Razor.
"Just looking at my city." Razor grinned. "Ain't it grand?"
"Yeah." Ronnie nodded. "To be honest Razor, I never really admired Cleveland's skyline. Also to be honest, I'm a New York boy, born and raised." Ronnie grinned. Razor rolled his eyes.
"Oh great, a Yankee-lover." Razor grumbled. "I hate the Yankees. Every other team in the States thinks of them as a bunch of arrogant jerks."
"Well, the Yankees did win a lot of games." Ronnie grinned.
"Yeah well, the Yankees should do every other team a favor and not play this year so someone else has a chance to win!"
"I doubt even the Yankees bowing out would help the Indians take the pennant." Ronnie laughed. "Eep." Kid Razor put his face right into Ronnie's.
"Be glad you're already a ghost, pal." Razor growled. Ronnie chuckled.
"Buddy, that pride of yours is going to get you into big trouble one of these days." Ronnie chuckled.
"Whatever." Razor groaned, looking back at the skyline. "Man, just some bank robbers. No super-powered villains. I'm beginning to miss Xantor."
"Aren't you just so nice today?" Ronnie remarked.
"I'm bored, and I want some action!" Razor whined. "The Kid of Rock wishes somebody else in this town get some damn superpowers and start going insane so I can beat their arses in a spectacular fashion!"
"Well, no mutants plan to go all 'let's conquer humanity' in this town, and none of the real supervillains want to come here." Ronnie replied.
"Hey Ronnie, did I tell you about the time Fingers hacked into the Xavier Institute?" Razor grinned.
"He did what?!" Ronnie blinked.
"Daniel earned his nickname for more than just keyboard-playing, pal." Razor laughed. "Fingers hacked in and messed around a bit. The next day, I got a call from this chick called Sage or somethin'." Razor laughed harder. "She sounded hot, based on her voice. Anyway, she asked to speak to Fingers. He took the phone, and we could hear her curse him out across town!" Razor fell on his back laughing. "Oh man, that was rich! Fingers nearly lost his hearing!"
"Man, those X-Men are nuts." Ronnie chuckled. "But then, who could blame them? I don't think mutants are welcome in a lot of places. Here, San Francisco, Hawaii, and that's really it, I think."
"I can imagine that mutants are welcome in San Francisco." Razor chuckled. "They adore people with differences over there."
"Whatever you say. Shouldn't your razor blade-clad butt be back on patrol?" Ronnie grinned. Razor rolled his eyes.
"Oh, fine. Go ahead, ruin my day of rest. Okay, okay." Razor took to the air again. As he and Ronnie flew by, a figure watched from another building. The figure sat on a motorcycle with a skull theme with wheels made from fire. He was clad in black leather from head to toe. His head was basically a flaming skull. The figure also had a flaming chain attached to his belt. He watched Kid Razor and Ronnie Rocker fly by.
"Hmm, I guess Cleveland isn't as defenseless as I thought." The flaming skull-headed man said to himself. "I knew that demon Blackheart planned to bring Jeremy Todd back to life. Knowing him, Todd will now have great power. The child does hold the mystical guitar, but he will need aid. And he shall get aid. Jeremy Todd will try to terrorize the highways again, but he will fail because I will defeat him again! He shall fall before Ghost Rider!" Ghost Rider's bike roared thanks to its unearthly engine, and the mystical defender of the road raced down the building, following the Fearless Kid Razor.
"Hey Ronnie, I just heard something that sounded like an animal's roar mixed with an engine." Razor blinked. Ronnie flew to the source to investigate. He knew the source because Razor pointed it out thanks to his sensitive hearing. Ronnie saw the Ghost Rider.
"Hey!" Ronnie exclaimed.
"Ronnie Rocker. You held the amulet that could access the Power of Rock in the first place." Ghost Rider said simply. "It went into a guitar, I see."
"It was my guitar." Ronnie said. "Thanks to that accident, the amulet merged with my guitar, and it took me in with it!"
"It belongs to the flying child clad in the odd costume now." Ghost Rider replied.
"Wait a minute, who are you?" Ronnie asked.
"I am Ghost Rider. I purify the road of sinners. Have you heard of Jeremy Todd?"
"The legendary mad biker? Yeah, who in rock 'n' roll hadn't heard of him? He nearly tried to create his own version of Altamont back in 1987!" Ronnie replied. "Why?"
"He is going to return from the grave, thanks to an old enemy of mine." Ghost Rider replied.
"Who?"
"A demon known as Blackheart." Ghost Rider said. "Jeremy Todd was his servant. He plans to bring Todd back to destroy the musician and get the guitar."
Well, looks like the Ghost Rider has made his appearance in this story! What will happen next? What power will Jeremy Todd gain? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
