Hells King

It's been two days since that little meeting with those four subordinates or Carrion. Obviously they hadn't sent my message yet and I didn't care because I was trying to achieve better things. Spiritual projection.

I've been meditating for two days straight inside the eight gates of hell. The monsters new what was up so they didn't fuck with me. I didn't know if Mia or anyone came to check on me because I've been shutting my mind and body off from the real world.

Basically I've been meditating for 2,880 years. From what I remember about achieving spiritual projection I need to reach inner peace or something like that. The thing is I'm almost always at peace with myself or at least that's what I think.

I myself don't actually know what peace is to me. Usually by "make peace with yourself" it implies you have something about yourself that you don't like, want to get over or is holding you down.

I don't have any of that.

In fact I'm perfectly happy with how I am. Opening my eyes for the first time in like two millenniums I sighed.

"I'll figure this out some other time." I said as I got up from my most relaxed position. I opened a portal left the eight rings of hell. It's been two days since Mia and Dormammu "decided" to share the dark dimension.

I don't know if she's left or not, but I felt like I should check on her to see if trainings going good. Leaving the portal I opened another and stepped through.

My scenery changed and I could immediately feel that the malice in this place grew, just from how hostile the energy was. I didn't know where it stemmed from though because Mia was nowhere to be found.

"Aye, where's Mia?" I asked tilting my head.

"She's been in hell. Gathering Malicious energy from the source." He said.

"You seem much more cooperative. What happened?" I asked as I started floating upward.

"…" He didn't answer more nor did he look away. I shrugged as I looked around the dark dimension for hell. How did it even look? Ah, couldn't I feel her emotions at the arena?

What if I focused on that? I closed my eyes and I felt a tugging sensation toward a swarm of bad emotions. They were being suppressed, but I could feel them. Sort of.

I went in the directions of the sensation and found myself…in the middle of nowhere. There was literally nothing, but the same energy. I could feel the emotions were strongest right here though.

'What the hell.' I thought as I looked around. I looked at my hands in thought. I put energy into my hands and they started turning purple like a galaxy was manifesting inside them.

I put my hands out and felt resistance the moment I tried to push forward. My eyebrows furrowed and I put some strength into my actions and started ripping the space apart.

A portal was being formed and I stepped through. The moment I did my head railed back as I looked at a this place. It was more or less nothing I thought it would be.

I looked below me and there was a pit that seemed to not have a bottom. I could feel the energy coming from there though, so I let my body fall into the pit. There were winged demons trying to grab me, but I destroyed them with my primordial flames.

Honestly that got me curious. Who were the first ones to have primordial flames and how did they even use it? Well it didn't matter for now.

I started floating when I saw a beautiful purple figure meditating in the air. There was purple energy being pulled into her body and the demons seem to be scared of her presence as they stayed huddled in the walls.

I floated down next to Mia who was "transformed" into that malevolent being she did last time. I noticed she didn't have a reaction when I was near her and thought that her guard was down.

"I'm well aware of my surroundings~" She said as she opened her eyes to look at me. Her voice held that same temptation in it as before.

"Why are you in here?" I asked.

"The tainted energy in this place is off the charts. It gives me a rush~" She said closing her eyes and breathing in a sharp air.

"…Okay, but you can generate your own energy. For now you should have been working on obtaining dark force energy. Also, go back to normal." I said.

She seemed way to…weird, to have a proper conversation with.

"This is normal. Well my normal, I'm just a manifestation of true desire and all the things that keep people down. I'm not only a bundle of bad." She said playfully pouting.

"…Well go back to the "bound" Mia so I can have a proper conversation."

"Hmph!!" I saw the purple color start to leave her body as it returned white. Her purple eyes changed blue and her dress went back to jeans and her hair went back to a white/blonde color.

"That wasn't me!" She said quickly. I tilted my head in question.

"Well it was me, but a different me. How to say it..?" I just waved my hand and told her it's all good.

I understand what she's trying to say. Basically a part of her that she keeps in check is unlocked when she's around all of this Malevolent energy.

"I came to check on you and see your progress with the dark force, but you were doing something else." I explained.

"Dark force is actually easy for me to control, but finding out what to do with it is hard. I don't understand it's properties at all. Other Than the fact it's extremely cold. Like the cold that hurts." She said.

"Hmmm. Well let's drop it for now. I feel like it'd be better if we didn't waste our time for now. L-…"

*VROOOOOOOOOOM*

The sound of a bike echoed in the cave as I saw what I came here for. On a demonic bike with the wheels set ablaze, was a skeleton headed being. The head was on fire as a chain was being whipped around behind it.

There were demonic creatures and other demons following it as the chain kept taking out hundreds of them. They were gaining him, but all he did was laugh crazily.

It was ghost rider.

He suddenly looked up our way and immediately his bike jumped onto the walls and so did the demons following him. His bike made it up to us in a matter of seconds.

While we were floating we were still close to the wall.

"Hold these guys for a while~" His voice came out like he was mocking us. He let out a wicked laugh as he sped up. The demons were now focused on us as they ran up the walls and jumped over to us.

Some even flew over.

"I can handle them. I assume you want to go after the rider." Mia said.

"Yup."

She nodded and I flew off to follow the rider. Suddenly I felt that warm sensation again and I looked back as I kept flying. Mia had transformed again. We didn't use this form in combat simply because of the strain.

To put it simply, I can't really describe her looks. She was just straight up beautiful.

With a wave of her hand golden spikes manifested in the air. There were millions from what I can count with a quick scan. I turned my head as I could hear the demons getting completely fucked and screaming in agony.

'So he still hasn't become the king of hell yet.' I thought as I saw his bike riding up the walls. He looked back at me and although I can't tell from his "face" I can feel that he's looking at me as an enemy.

My question was why?

I sped up even more than usual and I appeared next to him. The moment I was next to him he looked at me and shot a mouth full of magma from his mouth.

I quickly ducked and looked back at him. Breathing in I released a sigh. At least I tried playing nice this time. I covered my hand with golden fire that had some blue flickers in it.

I then grabbed the wheel of his bike and flipped it over with him still on it. He and the bike flipped over and came crashing down the wall. I watched as he was now free falling into the endless pit.

After a moment I heard a crazy laugh and the same bike popping a wheelie with the rider standing up and his chain in hand.

'Just fuck physics huh.'

He was spinning his chain around as we flew next to each other. The chain launched forward, going for my neck. I caught it before it could make contact while my hands were covered in primordial fire.

While I am a "god" I'm currently in hell. I still have a soul and while fire usually doesn't have an effect on me, hellfire can completely pulverize my soul if it can't burn my skin.

I used my primordial fire to counter it because these demons are basically just souls of the damned. If they can destroy souls just like hellfire they should be able to counter them as well.

With my grip on the chain tight, I yanked on it and pulled him with me. Grabbing his head I smashed it into the wall as I flew along it. The flames on his head were going out, but I knew that didn't mean shit.

I saw his fist balled up as there were covered in flames. He took a quick punch at my stomach, but it stopped a few centimeters from my skin. I used the same technique as Gojo to infinitely slow down his fist making it no touch me.

Unlike Gono I wasn't slowing down the space between us I was slow ling down the time around his fist. I cocked my fist back and with a final punch I punched his skull into the wall.

*BOOOOOOOOM!!*

With an explosion a crater was made on the wall. In the center of it ghost riders head was Imbedded into the wall. There wasn't any fire on his body and his hell cycle was gone.

"I didn't kill him right?" I muttered. I was a bit irritated by his constant attack, because all I wanted to do was talk to the guy. Well honestly I would be more hostile if I was in here as well.

Suddenly he dug his feet into the walls and pulled his out of the crater. There cracks in his head and his jaw was unhinged.

"You wanna fix that?" I said motioning to his jaw. He put his hand on his hanging jaw and popped it back in. His head started healing as well and was covered in a more calm flame.

"Listen I want to talk with you." I said.

"Who…sent you?" He asked me. His voice still held suspicion in it, but meh.

"No one "sent" me. I came of my own volition to make you an offer. I do have a question though, should I call you Ghost Rider or Zarathos?" I said tilting my head.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME?!" He yelled with his head combusting into flames.

"Calm down. I know a lot of things about your situation, but I can assure you I'm looking to help you in a mutual relationship."

A/N: Some if y'all might be wondering why he sounds so formal. It's not formal, but he's trying to make a deal so he has to show that he's at the advantage in this situation.

"Why? What tempts you to help me?~" He asked.

"Honestly speaking. It was just a sudden thought. I just saw you riding past and just felt like it. We both have goals but yours seem unreachable right now right?" I asked.

He didn't say anything and just looked at me. I took my pillow out and sat on it as we talked.

"You want to be the king of hell. Right?" I asked. He growled lowly at me with his arms crossed.

"Is that a yes? If so, why? Why would you want to be the king of a place like this?"

"Punishment. I want all of those down here to be punished. The siners here must be cleansed in my holy flames. Hender my mission and it will be your demise." He threatened.

I looked back at the huge crater and back at him. It might not have had an effect on him, but I might have a way.

"I said I'm here to help, but to me it looked like you were running from the demons you want to punish. If we made a deal I could help with that."

"What would you receive, if I were to comply?"

'Got em. The fact that he's even considering this is a huge advantage.'

"I want to create a partnership. I'm not going to lie, originally I was planning on having my partner completely purify/cleanse this place herself. She just so happened to get side tracked."

"There is no one with suck power. Stop your deceit and speak the truth!~" He demanded as his chains burst into flames.

"I can smell it. The smell of sin on you is almost overwhelming." He said as he looked at me.

"I may be a sinner, but I'm not lying here. The woman I was with, she could have easily cleaned this whole place up. That's off topic though."

"Partnership? What kind?~"

"We'd be in a…mutualistic relationship. I'd help you and in return when I call on you, you'd come and help me."

"You want to use me as a servant!?" He said aggressively.

I looked at him in silence for a moment and opened my mouth to speak.

"TO BE CONTINUED…."

**********************************************

Mia has three different looks.

Devilish Incarnation:

Godly Incarnation:

Normal Appearance:

Ghost rider will not be his servant. I repeat, he will not be his servant. Ghost rider and Akihito will be in a sort of treaty instead of partnership.

Couldn't post yesterday because of my sisters birthday. Also Robbie Reyes might be A Ghost Rider, but Johnny Blaze is THE Ghost Rider.
