Author's Note: I can not believe I got this many responses for my story. And that first was only the 'prologue'. Well, I came to a descision on what I was going to do to Johnny and the Ghost Rider. You'll find out pretty early in the story.
Johnny Blaze stood in the middle of a four-way intersection. The sky was deep red and the land around him was flat and lacking any significant features. Only gray rocks and rotting cacti.
He stumbled around at the roads' intersecting point, trying to figure out which one was the right choice to take. He tried to call for help or see if anyone was around the area.
No sound came from his mouth when he tried to speak.
XXXX
A familiar pegasus mare with a rainbow mane and tail, light blue coat, brilliant rose colored eyes, and a blue-red-yellow lightning bolt coming out of a white cloud flew over Ponyville fast enough to leave a rainbow trail in her wake.
It was none other than Rainbow Dash, the self-proclaimed 'fastest flier in all of Equestria'. Though, she has done pretty good at defending that title and proving it.
She was just out doing her usual practice and training so that she could better herself and gain a better chance at joining the Wonderbolts. She had wanted to bring Fluttershy so that she could coach her on cheering, but the butterfly-flanked pegasus had an animal emergency to tend to.
Rainbow Dash shivered slightly.
Seeing Fluttershy give a bear a back massage her way was a little too much for the rainbow-maned pegasus to handle.
She decided the open field nearby would maybe be a good place.
Besides, she couldn't risk having Scootaloo once again finding her and distracting her with the endless amount of admiration the pegasus filly can provide.
She really can't be distracted like that, for the chance of crashing and seriously hurting herself was all too real.
The field was coming up fast.
'Perfect.'
Slowing down her wing flapping, Dash got close enough to the ground to feel the tall grass touching her belly.
Being so close to the ground, close enough that she could reach out and touch it, it made her feel...made her feel...
"Alive."
Her grin grew so big that she felt like it would split her face.
Her keen pegasus eyesight caught the sight of something.
There was a figure, nearly completely hidden by the tall grass.
And she was coming in too fast to stop.
XXXX
Johnny Blaze stumbled as the world around him jerked harshly.
He tripped over his own feet and fell, landing on his side.
He tried to yell out in pain, but not even a whimper left his mouth.
XXXX
"...ow."
Rainbow Dash stumbled back onto her hooves and shook the dirt off of herself. She had struck the figure that was lying in the grass and wound up hitting the ground and rolling until she was stopped by the grass that got tangled up around her hooves.
After ripping the grass off of her, she slowly walked towards the figure while shaking out her wings.
She was not in a good mood. Especially since she was about to begin her routine with a Super Speed Strut that she didn't even get a chance to start!
"Hey! Hey buddy! Why don't you find a better place to sleep?! You just interrupted me from my training!"
The figure didn't answer back.
Rainbow Dash's anger started to seep away quickly. She was starting to worry that she may have actually hurt the figure.
"Hey...you okay there?"
Still no answer.
Dash quickly made her way to the prone figure.
What ever it was, it had a black cloak covering it's body and it was covered in grass.
Dash reached down to pull the cloak away.
XXXX
Johnny Blaze saw a gloved hand appear in his vision and he grabbed it without thinking. He was easily pulled to his feet by the figure who helped him.
He began to brush himself of when the gloved hand grabbed his shoulder and spun him around and then grabbed his jacket and pulled him up close.
Right into the face of a burning skull.
"WAKE UP!"
XXXX
The figure shot up and collided heads with Rainbow Dash, knocking her onto her rump.
The figure groaned and rubbed his aching forehead with his hooves to make the stars go away.
'Wait, hooves?'
He looked down at his solid light gray hooves.
"What the hell?"
He turned his hooves around to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
"What the HELL?!"
Dash shook her head and her eyes finally realigned themselves. Her head didn't hurt that much, since this would probably be the 15th time she hit her head against something this month.
She looked at the pony that was yelling.
"Uh, sorry. I thought you were sleeping or somethin'."
The pony turned his head and stared.
A pony...a light blue pony....a light blue pony with a rainbow mane...a light blue pony with a rainbow mane and wings...had just spoken to him.
Suprisingly, he didn't shout out or yell in terror. He just shrugged.
"Must be some strong painkillers they're giving me if I'm hallucinating a pegasus that looks like a walking Pride Parade mascot."
Rainbow Dash didn't know what a 'Pride Parade' was, but she decided not to dwell on it. She was too busy taking in the stallion that was now standing, well, attempting to stand anyway, in front of her.
He was a pegasus stallion with a light gray, almost white color coat with a black, shortened mane with a matching tail. He wore a slightly burnt and torn black leather jacket with holes on the back so his wings could stick through the back with a pair of black and worn hoof gloves hanging out of the right pocket.
Rainbow found it pretty odd that he had a large dirty and soot covered chain wrapped around his waist.
But what caught Dash's attention the most though, was his wings.
The limb itself was the same color as his coat, but the feathers were colored in a stripe pattern that traveled from the limb to the ends of his feathers. The wings had stripes of blue, orange, and red.
The only ponies Rainbow Dash has seen that color their wings like that are usually traveling stunt performers. Maybe this pegasus was a stuntpony?
'Maybe his cutie mark could tell me.'
Dash leaned a little to the left and looked at the cutie mark on the stallion's flank.
It showed a burning skull with a pair of some weirdly shaped pipes criss-crossing in an 'X' shape behind the skull and were shooting orange, red, and blue flames.
It was probably the weirdest cutie mark she has ever seen.
"Excuse me, isn't it customary for a lady to buy a man a drink before she starts staring at his ass?"
Dash jumped a little and whipped her head to look at the stallion giving her a good-natured grin.
She blushed a little and awkwardly coughed.
"Uh, sorry. I'm Rainbow Dash by the way. Um, who are you?"
He hesitated to tell this oddly colored pony his name, but then again, this is probably some sort of weird coma dream that he is in. And if it wasn't....well, he's seen some pretty weird stuff lately.
What did he have to lose?
"I'm Johnny Blaze."
Rainbow cocked an eyebrow.
"That's kind of an odd name."
Johnny narrowed his eyes, but still kept his grin.
"So is 'Rainbow Dash'."
Rainbow's eyes narrowed too.
"...Touche."
Johnny began to chuckle, but then he felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his side. His head felt like it was being beaten by a baseball bat.
"UURRGGHH!"
Dash ran up to and placed a hoof on his shoulder.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Johnny looked up and only saw a skeleton burning in a rainbow fire while surrounded by a burning forest.
He jumped back and shook his head, then looked back.
He saw Rainbow Dash giving him a worried look. Everything else was alright.
"Y-Yeah...I-I-I'm fine. S-Say, is t-there a clin-clinic nearby?"
Rainbow nodded.
"Yeah, there's one in Ponyville, which isn't too far away. I could take you there. Besides, I...kinda flew into you when you were sleeping. I was thinking that maybe you should have Nurse Redheart check you out."
Johnny nodded in agreement, albeit more shaky and cautious now. He was okay with being checked out by a nurse. As long as he could get his hands-uh hooves on some painkillers.
"Okay, lead the way."
Dash turned stretched out her wings, ready to fly.
"W-Wait..."
Dash turned to look at the stallion.
"...Can we just walk? I...don't think flying with a sore side and a splitting headache is such a good idea."
Rainbow folded her wings.
"I guess that makes sense. Come on, Ponyville is this way."
She began to trot with Johnny Blaze following her.
He sighed, glad that he was able to convince her to walk, since he didn't really know how to control his wings yet.
He quickly sped up so that he wouldn't lose her.
This was indeed a strange land. He knew that he had died in that motorcycle accident, because it felt like his spirit had left his body when he exhaled that last breath. He didn't know why he was now in a land where ponies are apparently colorful and can talk and definitely fly. A second chance maybe? Who knows?
All he knows is that he is in a new body, in a new land with new people. He might as well enjoy it.
Author's Note: Sooooo.....what do you guys think? Good? Bad? So-so? Let me know what you think. I'll probably come back to make some changes later.
BIG apology to those who didn't think that Johnny Blaze should've been turned into a pony, but Urdeth made a really good point. What's the point in having Johnny and the Ghost Rider be human when Equestrians haven't seen a human before? They'll think that all humans can do it. But a PONY turning into a flaming skeleton? They'll know that it isn't natural for that to happen.
See ya! And thanks for being supportive!
