//------------------------------// // The angels don't fly down here // Story: EqG: Hell rider 2 Hell Unleashed // by Tunefulsubset72 //------------------------------// --???-- ~???~ "You brought it?" A man said as group of men in suits stood in a circle. "It took a while, but I got it," an armored being said with a raspy voice as he handed the man a glowing white vial. "Stark’s defenses are getting better." "Thank you, Ghost," the man said as he took the vial. "Angel blood, one of the rarest substances on the planet." "Now, for my pay," Ghost said as the man smirked. “You have it?" "Bring it here," the leader said as one of the men brought a silver case and opened it to reveal money. "Fifty grand, as promised." "I knew I could trust you," Ghost said as he quickly looked around. "We are being watched." "Scan the area," the leader said as the men drew their weapons and looked around. "Show yourself." The leader said as a black streak zoomed past two of his men as they fell to their knees as blood fell from wounds on their necks. "No one misses with Iron Will and walks away." He said as two more men fell. "You are certainly no exception." "Drop the vial, and no one else dies," a deep voice said as Iron and Ghost looked around. "Stark had that blood locked away for a reason." "You must be one of Fury's goons." Ghost said as the voice chuckled. "Inhuman? X-man?" "I left SHIELD.......well, more like I was kicked out," the voice said as one of suited men fell from the sky and landed on the car behind them. "They couldn't handle my....methods." "I can see why," Iron Will muttered as he looked around quickly as the last man whimpered as he scanned the area among his gun. "You took down most of my best men. Perhaps we can come to a deal." "Eh, boss?" the last man said nervously. "Are sure that's a good ideAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" He screamed as he was dragged into the darkness. "HELP ME, ANYONE, HE...." "Fuck this," Ghost said as he disappeared. "YOU COWARD!!!!" Iron Will bellowed. "Who are you?" "That's just what I wanted to hear," the voice said as Iron Will heard footsteps approached him as he turned around. "Allow me to introduce myself," the voice said as Iron Will turned around and saw a figure wearing a black and red cloak, and a mask that was a dark red with two tusks sticking out from it. “I'm known as the Crimson Ghost." "What kinda freak are you?" Iron Will said as black mist came out the figure’s sleeve and formed into a black blade. "If I told you, you'd wish you never knew," the Ghost said as he lunged at Iron Will as his screams echoed through the night. ~~three days later~~ ---C.H.S--- "So.....this is Canterlot high," Green Song said as she stood next to Flint holding a box. "Mom told me you have the same classes as me,” she said as Flint remained silent. "Of course you'd be the silent type." "Hey Green Song," Sunset said as she approached them. "Who's this with you?" "Meet Flint Locke," Green Song said. "My......brother." She laughed nervously. "You’re the one she told us about," Sunset said as Flint raised an eyebrow. "I'm Sunset Shimmer." She extended her hand. "Pleasure," Flint said as they shook hands. "He doesn't talk much, does he?" Sunset asked as Green Song nodded. "Anyway, does he need a tour of the school?" "Most likely," Green Song said as Flint rolled his eyes. "Try not to get lost." She added with a smirk. "If Fury hadn't disabled my weapons," Flint muttered as he followed the two girls. "Maybe I'll get lucky." ---Zarathos--- "You called, boss?" Ryker said as Zarathos looked out the window of their hideout. Over time, he had notice Zarathos changing; his wings, once blue, were now jet black, his once silver armored was a midnight blue, and his eyes were now blood red. "Boss?" "Yes Ryker, I called for you," Zarathos said. His voice had change as well; it now sounded much deeper. "I want you and Rider to go to Canterlot and lure Grimstone out by any means possible." "I may have a few ideas," Ryker said evilly. "Grimstone cares deeply for his host’s family," Zarathos said as he faced Ryker. "If your idea was to attack one of his family members, that would be our best approach, but be careful on whom you choose." Ryker looked at him, confused. "I have a feeling the Rider won't be on our side for long." "That's very reassuring," Ryker quipped sarcastically. "I'll go find him." "Kill who you must," Zarathos said as he continued staring out the window. "Let the fun begin." Ryker said darkly as he left the room, but failed to notice the Rider propped against the wall, glaring. ---C.H.S--- "And to conclude our tour, here's the robotics room." Sunset said as she pointed towards a door. "Your dad teaches that class." "We don't have that class till after lunch." Green Song said as Flint looked through the small window in the door. "Our first class starts in ten minutes, want to get going?" "Sure." Flint said with a shrug." What's our first class?" "History with Mr. Shadoc," Green Song said as Flint's eyes widened. "What's that look for.......oh." "Do I want to know?" Sunset asked as Green Song shook her head and Flint sighed. "You tried to kill him?" "I'd rather not talk about it," Flint said. "Okay, then," Sunset said nervously. "A-anyway, Green Song, today you have to do your presentation?" "Yep, I'm honestly very nervous." Green Song said as her shoulder sagged. "I just hope I don't become a laughingstock." "You'll do fine," Sunset said patting her on the back. "Good luck." "I'll need it," Green Song said as they walked to their class. "Hold on a minute," Grimstone said as he approached them."I'm glad I caught up with you, have you seen Rainbow Dash?" "She said she was going to run late, something happened," Green Song said with a shrug. "Thanks, I tried to get a hold of her but she didn't answer her phone," Grimstone said. "Also Flint, I wanted to give you a warning. Be careful who you talk to, there are some people here who won't take kindly to your past." "I understand," Flint said. "Then off to class with you two I'll see you after lunch." Grimstone said as he went inside his room to get ready for the classes. ---Ryker--- "Home sweet home," Ryker said as he landed on a nearby roof as he stared at the school. "Bring back memories, doesn't it, Rider?" "Whatever," Rider said with a growl. "Take it easy why don't ya," Ryker said, nudging him." You Riders are so uptight." "Well that's what happens when you’re meant to hunt down guilty souls," Rider snapped as Ryker stepped away. "Just do what ya gotta do." "Not yet, I'm waiting for a certain someone," Ryker said as he crossed his arms. "Just you wait." I've made a terrible mistake, Rider thought to himself as Ryker scanned the crowd of students entering the school. Who is he targeting? ---lunch--- ~~Green song~~ "That could've gone better." Green Song muttered as she poked at her food. "I'm new to this whole family thing, but you did alright," Flint said as Green Song groaned and let her head fall to the table with an audible thud. "Not helping?" "What’s up with her?" Sunset asked as she approached the table. "She thinks she failed the presentation," Flint said as Green Song banged her head on the table repeatedly. "Plus that one person in the back didn't help." "It was probably Gilda again," Sunset said as she set her tray down, then looked at Flint. "Since when were you so talkative, just this morning you hardly said a word to anyone." "Don't know," Flint said as he bit into his apple. "You've been nice so far, unlike most the people here don't get the chance to know me, before judging." "I think I know who you’re talking about." Sunset said as more trays were set on the table. "Hey, girls." "Hello, darling." Rarity said as she sat next to her friend. "Who’s your new friend?" "We're not friends,” Flint said, crossing his arms. "His name is Flint," Green Song said as she lifted her head. "He's my brother." "Nice to meet you, I'm Rarity," Rarity introduced herself as Flint stared at her. "Silent type?" "Yep," Green Song and Sunset said in unison. "Anyway, this is Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.," Rarity said as Flint nodded. "Flint and I met yesterday," Rainbow said as Flint ate his food. "I'm surprised you’re not sitting alone, no offense." "I forced him to sit here," Green Song said smirking, which quickly vanished as she noticed someone missing. "Where's Pinkie?" she asked as she noticed Pinkie standing behind Flint. "That's a really bad idea, Pinkie." "What?" Pinkie said, scaring Flint." Sorry." "Remember his......history," Applejack said, shooting Flint a cold stare. "Yup yours too," Flint said, glaring back at AJ. "Aaaaanyway," Rarity said as the two kept glaring at each other. " You heard the news?" "What news?" Green Song asked. "Apparently, Iron Will was killed a few days ago during a drug operation of some kind," Rarity said as the group looked at her. "Thing that makes it worse is there were no survivors." "Who would've done such a thing?" Fluttershy asked. "There were cut marks on the victims. I heard rumors that Deadpool might be in town," Rarity said as Sunset spat out her drink."Dear?" "What would a guy like him be doing here?" Rainbow asked. "Think he could be after Rider?" "Your guess is as good as mine," Rarity said stabbing a piece of lettuce from her salad. "It's just rumor." CRASH!!!! Everyone started screaming as a flaming car flew though the cafeteria wall. "WHAT WAS THAT?!?!?" Sunset yelled as students ran for safety and some helped others up. "Everyone alright?" "We're fine," the group said as Flint stood up and ran towards the rubble and started helping. "People might be buried, come on," Rainbow said as a dark chuckling filled as a chill ran down her spine. "No." "Dash, you okay?" Applejack asked as she noticed the look of fear on her friend face. "What's wrong?" "Yes, Dashie," a familiar voice said as the girl gasped in fear a figure floated in. "What's wrong?" "R-Ryker?" Rainbow Dash stammered. "I'm back," Ryker said wickedly as he cackled.
