Rainbow asked a she waved a hand in front of my face." You alright?" "Huh what?" I said snapping back to reality." You say something?" "Nevermind." Rainbow said as Pinkie giggled." You know this guy or something?" "In more ways then one." I said as I stood up as the man smirked." When was the last time we met up?" "New York." The man said as I sighed." When Deadpool...." "Please don't bring that up." I said as the girls gave me confused looks." You a friend of Applejack's?" "Yeah, I know her parents." The man said as he put a hand on Applejack's shoulder. "If I may, who are your exactly?" Rarity asked as the man crossed his arms." We understand you know Applejack and Blizzard, for some reason." "Oh, I'm Johnny, Johnny Blaze." The man said as Rainbow's jaw dropped." Yes?" "The stuntman?" Pinkie asked as Johnny nodded." I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!" Pinkie yelled causing Johnny to cover his ears." Sorry." "It's fine." He said as he moved to the other side of Applejack." So, Blizzard, your 'friend' mentioned you needed some help?" "They know about him." I said as The Rider appeared in a mirror next to me." And yes, I do." "What are you talking about?" Applejack asked as Johnny faced her." Also, how did you help Blizzard with.....What did Deadpool do exactly?" "Um..." I began to sadly remember. ---Two years ago--- "RUN B@TCH RUUUUNN!!!!!" Johnny shouted as we ran away Deadpool, who somehow got ahold of a Mecha suit. "GOTCHA B@TCH!!!!" Deadpool yelled as he for rockets at us." I AM YOUR GOD NOW BRING ME YOUR VIRGINS!!!" ---Now--- "Yikes." Applejack said concerned as me and Johnny nodded." How'd you get away?" "Sewers." I said as I crossed my arms."Stunk like crap for a week." "Let's change the subject." Rarity said disgusted." We still need to tell Spitfire about what happened to Crimson." "What happened to Crimson?" Johnny asked as Rainbow looked at him with a sad look in her eyes." Please tell me Chyrsalis didn't get him." We responded by saying nothing. "How do you know my brother?" Rainbow asked." You used to be old friends or something?" "He helped a friend of mine sometime ago." Johnny said as he pointed to me." You know who I'm talking about?" "What's he talking about?" Rainbow asked as she glared." Enough secrets." "There's more than one Ghost Rider." I said as Johnny eyes turned into black pits as the girls backed away in fear."Four to be exact." "FOUR?!?!" The girl shouted in unison. "Myself, Johnny and two others." I said as Johnny nodded." One works with shield unfortunately." "So you two against a changeling army?" Sunset asked." That should be entertaining." "Oh no, you guys are staying here and that's final." I said as Pinkie pouted." Not going to work, but you can go with us to talk to Spitfire." "Then let's go." Johnny said as we left the house." The sooner, the better. Also kid don't piss of dangerous friends. " Johnny said pointing to my head which still had a bandage wrapped around it covered in dry blood. ----Crimson's House----- "Mom when is Dad gonna be home I still need help on my calculus homework." Green Song groaned as she laid with her feet above the top of the couch and her head at the floor. "I don't know honey I wish he would get here soon." Spitfire said as she stared at a briefcase on the counter. Then suddenly there was the sound of motorcycles and a old pickup truck. "I wonder who that could be?" Spitfire commented as the door's lock began to click open. "Spitfire we need to talk now." Rainbow said as she was followed in by everyone. "Sure what's wrong? Oh hey Johnny it's been awhile." Spitfire said looking behind us. "Hey Spitfire how've you been?" Johnny commented followed by a rustle in the living room followed by fast and heavy footsteps. " JOHNNY!" Green Song yelled as she ran up and hugged him around the neck. "Hey Song you've gotten a lot bigger than the last time I saw you what has it been three years?" Johnny asked as Green Song nodded eagerly." Well how about this once I get done with some boring adult stuff I'll take you on a ride on my bike?" He asked only to be answered by a giant smile. "What happened to your head and where's Crimson?" Spitfire asked as she grabbed my head looking at the big scrap mark. "Crimson happened I made a promise that I would keep Rainbow safe and she got hurt by Scorpion and Crimson killed Jason Voorheas and then he proceeded to beat the sh!t out of me." I said as I tried sounding as sorry as possible. "You guys didn't see anything weird about him did you?!" Spitfire responded almost as fast as Rainbow Dash ran. "Yeah we did he also said to tell you 'The Watcher of Hell is awoken'" I said as I watched all color drain from Spitfires eyes. "No no no no this can't be true!" Spitfire yelled as she ran to the briefcase as everyone followed her. She quickly pulled out a pendant that had a picture of all three of them in their best clothes underneath a tree and placed it on top of the briefcase as it clicked into place. She then opened the chest revealing nine orbs that all had the symbol of yin and yang in different colors inside them. "These were one of the most important things he ever created. They regulate the condition of each person they represent. Blue is for Rainbow, Yellow is Fluttershy, Purple is Twilight, Pink is Pinkie Pie, Orange is Rarity, Brown is Applejack, Green is Green Song, Red is mine and Black is....his." She said as her voice grew small. "What's wrong Spitfire?" Rainbow asked. "Please let this be a malfunction." Spitfire muttered as she observed the black orb that had it's symbol spinning at a extraordinary rate. "Is that bad?" I asked as I saw her start to regain herself. "He's in trouble, the reason it's black and white is because the Black represents Grimstone and the white is his individuality." Spitfire said as she picked it up out of the case." We need to talk." -----Living room----- "Okay first off I'm a member of S.H.I.E.L.D and Blizzard I know who you really are." Spitfire said as she looked directly at me." Don't worry I won't tell anyone." "Thanks..." I said as I almost had a heart attack. " Crimson and I first met when he was a member of Tirek's gang 20 years ago we were both 18. He tried to help him take over the city to protect me but Tirek turned on him and killed him. Or so we thought." Spitfire began. "Or so you thought?" I said as I looked at her suspiciously." Is that really what happened?" "Yes it is we were there." Rainbow Dash said." Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie were there too." "See?" Spitfire said as she raised her eyebrows." Now you see Tirek shot a experimental ray gun that had the power to level a city at me, He died in the recoil explosion, but I was saved by Crimson. Well it wasn't Crimson it was Grimstone. He sensed his resolve the night before to change the world by any means necessary so he possessed him in his sleep. Crimson lost a giant chunk out of his side from the blast but was healed when Grimstone's mist covered his body healing it almost instantaneously. Later on we started dating and he would have nightmares from time to time and talk in his sleep. He was always arguing with someone saying that he wouldn't have anything to do with a demon." Spitfire continued. "Blizzard this next part you need to hear." Johnny said as he pointed straight at me. "You do it actually, involves your dad." Spitfire added. "Wait is this how he got involved with Chrysalis?" I asked quietly only to be answered by a nod. "Your father and Crimson were both members of S.H.I.E.L.D. at the time and were essentially the drill instructors and were asked to take four promising students along with them as a graduation ceremony I guess you could say. So the mission was to infiltrate the Changeling hideout and kill Chrysalis... They were almost at the back entrance and inside the facility until they were ambushed by her main guard. They pinned down Crimson and your dad and killed the privates right in front of them one more gruesome than the last. Finally she let your dad go and told him to spread the word of what happened and she kept Crimson as her torture pet. He spent a long five years away from home as he was repeatedly torn to shreds and experimented on nonstop." Spitfire tried her best to continue but couldn't through the tears that were welling up inside her and were leaking out. "It's okay Spitfire I was with you no matter what." Rainbow said as she started tearing up while she got up and sat next to Spitfire comforting her. "Thank you." Spitfire said as she regained her composure." While he was in there during the brief fortunate times he passed out due to fatigue he talked to Grimstone and finally decided to be his host even though he was the strongest demon known to mankind." "Wait I thought the devil himself was the strongest?" I said as my mind sent up a red flag. "He essentially doesn't count since he is a fallen angel. Grimstone is an actual full blooded demon." Spitfire explained." He said he didn't remember much of what happened next. He just remembered seeing and hearing Chrysalis freak out and ask 'what he was doing' as the chains connecting him to the table were broken and she lost an arm from Hell Watcher. Then the next thing he saw was her decapitated corpse laying in front of her. He then regained consciousness and noticed her head was in his hand and Hell Watcher in the other. He explored the prison center looking for any prisoners and noticed a little girl with great big ole gorgeous yellow eyes and beautiful lime green hair." Spitfire said as she grabbed Green Song in a hug and held her tightly. "Wait she was a captive of Chrysalis?" I yelled out." I really need to catch up on what's been happening." "Yea she was a captive and her file stated that she was the next in line for the Changeling family and Chrysalis was below her. So he decided to bring her home when she was only one year old and we decided to make the day he found her, her birthday. When he got home I didn't even recognize him at first because he was so badly scarred. But, I knew it was him and once he explained everything I asked to meet Grimstone. He agreed and I was face to face with the Demon King himself. I thanked him for saving my life against Tirek and I then gave him a hug and thanked him for bringing the love of my life home and an amazing bundle of joy who was awake and adorably nibbling on my hair. He said to not thank him that Crimson had been thinking of me the entire time he was under her control and that I was the only thing keeping him going." Spitfire said as she reminisced on the good times. "Mom there's a problem!" Green Song yelled as she looked at the orb on the coffee table. " NO PLEASE TELL ME I'M HALLUCINATING!!!" Spitfire screamed as she began sobbing her eyes out. "What's happening?" I asked as I looked around. "No please tell me she didn't go that far. I know she was desperate to get Grimstone ,but not that desperate!" Johnny said as she stood up and began pacing. " Johnny what's happening?" I said as I stood up ready to fight. "In the old days when angels would sometimes fall from heaven and perish leaving their carcasses they would leave behind their pure white blood. Priests used this as a way to get rid of demons before exorcisms existed. However, when the angel blood was used those possessed there were terrible consequences. You see the host would almost alwa-" Johnny tried to explain only to be interrupted. "DON'T DIE CRIMSON PLEASE DON'T DIE DON'T LET HER BEAT YOU LIKE THIS!!!!" Spitfire yelled as she cried even harder. "DAD PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US! PLEASE!!!" Green Song yelled also as she began weeping. "They died?!" I said in a loud tone due to shock only to be answered by a nod by Johnny as he looked at the table. I followed his gaze only to see the orb have the midnight black liquid slowly disappear only to be replaced by white while the orb started flashing like a excited heartbeat. Then I knew what was happening.... Crimson was dying.
