Okay guys, here is the next chapter, we have ghost rider, and then after that is a surprise.


"Okay, so Jaune was a creepy snake lady...that was weird." Ruby said.

"You're telling me, I have not felt that scared for my dick in a long time." Qrow said quietly to himself.

"So what do you think is next?" Goodwitch asked.

"I don't know..." Ozpin said.

Jaune heard the sound of a bike engine roaring. He walked out of the building where he had been staying and out into the corridor between buildings. And there it was. It was his own motorcycle. He had gotten it from Yang before he graduated Beacon. But something was different, it shouldn't have been running on its own. And more importantly, it definately shouldn't be out here, it was supposed to be in his garage.

"Okay, so a motorcycle is running on its own?" Qrow asked.

"That doesn't seem so bad." Goodwitch said.

"Just wait, you two probably jinxed it again." Weiss said.

Jaune turned to see a figure stepping out of the shadows.

His face took on an enraged look as he pointed at the man in the shadows.

"You..." He said his face full of hate.

An elderly man came out of the shadows, his hair was long and black, he had a slight bit of stubble growing, and he was covered by a long black coat.

"Hey Jaune." He said as he walked over with his cane.

"Stay away from me!" Jaune said wanting to never see this man again.

"Why doesn't Jaune like this guy?" Pyrrha asked.

"I don't know, maybe he's an old enemy?" Weiss suggested.

"He's remaining awfully calm for that though." Glynda said.

"But who is he?" Ruby asked.

"Little late for that..." He said as he walked over to Jaune's motorcyle.

"Nice Bike." He said as he was impressed with the craftmanship.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked keeping his distance from the man.

No...Not a man...

"Why does he mean by not a man?" Ozpin said.

"I don't know, he sure looks Human." Qrow said.

"Maybe he's a grimm? Like Salem?" Goodwitch said.

"No, this man doesn't hold any Grimm Traits, even Jaune when he was posessed by the Grimm side in that one episode showed the red eyes of the Grimm." Ruby said.

"So in other words, we have no idea who he is?" Weiss asked.

"Pretty much." The collective said.

"Oh, I've always been here Jaune...Atlas..." He said as he walked towards him.

"Beacon Academy..." He said as he got closer.

"The Vytal festival." He said as Jaune glared at him.

"So it was you...all those times I should have died, you kept me alive." He said as the man chuckled.

"Of course, do you really think it was a miracle that stopped you from being bisected by that Ursa?" He asked as Jaune glared.

He had a hard time explaining that one to Pyrrha. There was no possible way he should have survived that.

"Okay, so this man saved Jaune's life...is he some sort of Angel?" Ozpin said.

"No that would be ridiculous, why would Jaune hate an angel?" Ren asked.

"Have you ever seen Supranatural? The angels are dicks in that." Yang said. (1)

"This isn't Supranatural." Weiss said.

"I've been here all along Jaune, you see, I view you as an investment." He said as he walked circles around Jaune and his motorcyle.

"An investment that keeps growing and growing until one day...you cash it in." He said as he kneeled down behind the bike.

"And that day is today." He said as he ran his hand over the bike.

"What do you want?" Jaune asked.

"Find the one known as Adam Taurus..." He said as his voice got deeper at the end.

"And destroy him!" He finished.

"Adam?" Blake said.

Everyone at this point knew who Adam was after Blake explained it to them. Even the teachers knew that the white fang leader was her ex boyfriend.

"What does this guy want with him?" Blake asked herself.

"Find him yourself." Jaune was ready to get on his bike and get out of here.

But when he sat down, he found that his body wouldn't work.

The man of darkness just chuckled at him.

"It doesn't work that way..." He said as Jaune was struggling to get off the bike, but he couldn't even budge.

"You're under contract remember?" He asked.

"Contract?" Goodwitch asked.

"Is Jaune a mercenary?" Yang asked.

"I doubt it, he's obviously still a huntsman." Ruby said as she remembered they were talking about Beacon and the Vytal tournament.

"If you succeed, I'll return your soul." The man said.

"Wait...his soul?!" Yang said.

"Why does he have Jaune's soul?!" Ruby yelled.

"Professor Ozpin?" Goodwitch said as Ozpin had dropped another coffee cup.

"It can't be..." He said as everyone turned to him.

"Professor?" She asked.

"In all of the legends, there is another, of a man of terrible sin and evil, who gave birth to the Grimm, and to the Grimm Queen herself, he is known as the fallen one, but his real name has been lost to time." He said as Nora spoke up.

"So what do they call him?" She asked as Ozpin took a breath.

"Inquisition." He said as he turned back to the screen.

"I'm not doing it..." Jaune said trying to resist.

"You don't have a choice." The man said as he tapped his cane to the ground.

And Jaune's motorcyle suddenly sped up and left the alley. A trail of flame being left behind from where his tires were hitting the pavement.

He felt his eyes burning behind his eyelids as he tried to keep them shut. But all he saw was fire burning multiple corpses. He tried to slow down, but all he could do was speed up.

"Why is his motorcyle on fire?" Qrow asked as he was not drunk enough for this.

"Inquistion's main element is control over fire, it is no surprise that his servants would have some sort of connection with the unholy flame..." Ozpin said.

The scene changed as Jaune was thrown from his bike. He lifted his head up, only for his eyes to have steam coming off of them.

"Ah! It burns!" He yelled as he stood up.

"Whats happening to me?!" He yelled as he took a few steps forward, flame shooting out of his boots.

"Okay what the hell is going on?!" Qrow was a little weirded out.

"A semblance?" Ozpin asked.

"A semblance that shoots flames out of boots?" Goodwitch said.

"To be honest, I don't know much about Inquisition, all I know is that he is evil incarnate." Ozpin said.

"GAH!" Jaune screamed out as he covered his eyes with his hands.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" He screamed out as he threw his head back.

"AhHhh! HA HA HA!" His screams turned to laughter.

As his eyes were engulfed in flame as his flesh slowly started to burn off.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Yang yelled as Ruby didn't even bother to put a dollar in the swear jar.

Because she was freaked out too.

"JAUNEY!" Nora said as she was hugging Ren for protection.

"Jaune..." Pyrrha was scared.

"I don't like this..." Weiss said.

"HA HA HA HA HA!" His laughter was getting deeper, and he stared down at his hands as they caught fire.

The skin was melting away even faster, his eyes resembling little more than flames. His hair was burning away, revealing only a skull underneath.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Jaune's laughing grew more and more manic.

He clenched his hands into fist as a barrage of flame engulfed him.

"GAAAAHHHH!" A final scream of pain.

"What the hell are you all watching?!" A voice said as they turned to see Sun and Neptune.

"Sun? Neptune? What are you two doing here?" Ren said as he turned away from the tv.

In truth, the group was horrified with what they had just witnessed, they had just seen a dear friend practically burned alive. Granted they had seen it once before when he fought Ren in that one universe, but this was different, the thing that scared them was that Jaune started laughing, and there was no way he could put the flames out since they were supernatural in nature.

They gave them the low down and needless to say, the Monkey faunus and his friend were shocked.

"You mean to tell me, that these are alternate universes, and the guy who just burst into flames was Jaune?" Neptune asked as he was a little freaked out.

"Uh, you may want to look at the screen..." Sun said as he pointed a finger at it.

They saw a figure kneeling down, its skull wreathed in flame. It slowly looked up towards the camera. No skin, no hair, no face. Just a hollowed out skull wreathed in flame.

"AAAHHHHHHH!" It roared out at them.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Sun said as he actually jumped back.

"What the hell happened to him?" Neptune asked.

"I don't know..." Ruby said as she did not like this.

"Whatever happened, I don't think Jaune is going to be getting any rest from it..." BLake said.

The creature heard chuckling as it turned around to see a ox horned faunus.

"Well, well, seems like my father sent his Ghost Rider after me." He said as he walked forward.

"Go back to hell..." The Ghost Rider said as he glared at him.

"Oh? You might want to get your throat checked, oh wait, you don't have one." He said with a smart ass tone.

"I'm gonna kill you..." The rider said as Taurus chuckled.

"I don't think so." He said as something flew up.

"Too slow!" Another faunus said as he hung Ghost Rider up on a chain.

"Really? That all you got?" Ghost rider said as he simply unhooked himself.

Only to be immediately run over by a truck.

"Okay he looked pretty bad ass...but he just got his ass kicked." Sun said as Neptune nodded.

"That was way too fast." His friend agreed.

"Just wait, we saw a guy turn into a flaming skull monster, I think there is more to this than we think." Weiss said.

"I think they called him the Ghost Rider." Ruby said.

"Okay that's a pretty cool name." Yang said.

"Well...that was easy." A man with a whiskey flask said as he crawled out of the truck cab.

"Are you kidding me?! Why am I a bad guy?!" Qrow asked.

The author appeared again.

"Honestly, I didn't know who else to put in, Salem didn't make sense, I could have put in Cinder, but I already wrote most of this, so too late to change it." He said as he disappeared.

"Why does that guy show up at the most random of times?" Ozpin asked.

"Hey asshole." Ghost Rider said as he appeared seemingly unharmed.

Just in time to deliver a bone crunching punch to the jaw.

"Ow! Damn it!" Qrow said as Ghost Rider took the chain from earlier and started to choke it with him.

"Woah! Wait! We can talk about this!" Qrow said as GR enshrouded the chain with that.

"A little late for that..." He said as he garroted Qrow.

"GAAAAaaahhhhhhh." Qrow's scream started out loud, but as the chain burned and cut its way through his neck, it become more of a gurgle.

Ruby and Yang had closed their eyes, not wanting to see their Uncle Die. Weiss was trying to look away. Blake was wondering why Adam was associated with Inquisition. Ozpin was disgusted at seeing his old friend get murdered like that.

Glynda...honestly she didn't know how to react.

Ren and Nora were trying not to puke.

Sun and Neptune actually did puke.

Qrow was taking chug after chug of whiskey to erase his memory of what was happening.

Ghost Rider pulled the chain back with a final snap as Qrow's head was seperated from his neck. No blood came from the wound, the only thing that was there was a burnt husk. His head laying on the ground turning to ash.

GR called his Motorcycle to him. The others had gotten away, and he needed to get into a pursuit.

His motorcycle came forward. GR looked at it with his hand on his chin for a second.

"Hmmm...Needs improvement." He said as he put his hand on the seat.

Only for it to be wreathed in flame, and for the entire bike to take on a completely new appearance. The tires became flaming rings. And the front of the bike instead of having one headlight. Got some sort of strange shield on the front with two headlights instead. (2)

"Okay...that was pretty cool." Sun said.

"Time to ride." He said as he took off in pursuit.

All while leaving a trail of flame in his wake.

"Well...that was...interesting." Glynda said.

"We just saw a guy burn alive, turn into a flaming demon, decaptitate me, and you say that was interesting?" Qrow asked.

"In all honestly, Nothing in these universes shocks me anymore.." She said as she turned to the two teams.

"Well, it was kind of cool." Ruby said.

"Apart from Uncle Qrow dying..." Yang said.

"It was scary." Nora said.

"What did Jaune get himself mixed up in?" Pyrrha asked.

"Nothing good, thats for sure." Ren.

"Why did he sell his soul in the first place?" Weiss wanted to get to the bottom of that.

"I hope it was for something good..." Blake said as they all got to thinking.

What would they sell their souls for?

Would Blake sell her soul for peace amongst humans and faunus?

Would Ruby sell her soul in order to be the hero of her dreams?

Would Yang do it to live a life of adventure?

They all shook their heads, they could never imagine parting with their own souls.

But what if they did?
