IC:Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider
My skull's on fire.
Not literally....Although that can be arranged,strangley enough.
I wake up with one hell of a headache.I then immediatley remind myself to stop using those kind of puns.
My name's Johnathan.John.I prefer Johnny,myself,though.
Johnny Blaze.
Strange name for a guy in my circumstances,but....It fits,I guess.
I look around at the piece of crap they call an 'apartment'.The place is a dump....And I just moved here.
I like it.
Sure,it's not perfect...Hel..er...Heck,It's far from that.But it'll do.
Like my father(Stepfather,to be precise) always taught me...."Live with what you got.Cherish it.Make it count for every day of your life,cause it's all you have".
Now that I think about it,though.....Maybe thats what got me into this mess....
I get up from the couch.My 'Bed',since I can't afford a new one yet.Blew all my cash on this piece o crap....
Anyway,where was I?
Oh yeah...
I get up from the couch,and grab my leather jacket....Probably the most consistant part of my wardrobe.I've got some things to do today....
Thats when I notice the clock.
..I overslept.It's 2 pm.
I missed both Breakfast AND Lunch.Speaking of which...
My stomach rumbles.Might aswell get Drive-Thru...Cause I aint got time to eat in.
With a slight grunt,I head out.
My head's STILL killin me....

-Vrrrooommm-
I stop my bike infront of the 'old place'.The one I had before I was moved in with the Simpsons....With my real family.
To this day,I wonder why I ever liked this place.
Too cheery.Too go-getting.Too...Rusted.
Okay,NOW I'm just nitpickin.Trying to find a reason to hate any part of my life before the Simpsons...
I haven't got a clue why,either.Maybe It's because the Simpsons were so good to me.Maybe it's because I don't know much about my life before them.Maybe...
Maybe I'm just one ungrateful son of a b...
My watch beeps.
4:45.
Damn,I'm late.I promised Rocky I wouldn't do this to her....again....but,She'll understand.
...Hopefully.
'Rocky'.Roxanne,actually.My stepsister.And...Strangely....The only woman I've ever considered being 'intimate' with.
Intimacy?That's not even my style...
I take off,once again.The bike purrs like a cat,as I make my way down the streets of Manhatten.
Wanna know what's weird?
In a big city like this...There aren't many bikers.You'd think they'd be crowding in the population...But,nope.
It mostly consists of buisnessmen.Suits,as most of the people I know call them.

7:00 pm
I get back to my apartment.
I think I've taken every damned headche reliever known to man,but I STILL feel like Someone's rammin me with a 2x4....repeatadley.
I stuff the bag of 'Rallys' food I had for lunch in the trashcan.Well,okay...not had.More like 'attempted to eat'....
Rocky's pissed off at me.
I was supposed to meet her at the Carnival today,but I got caught up with everything else...It slipped my mind.And by the time I realised it....well,I was sorta...too late.
She'll get over it.She always does.
However,I don't have an excuse.Not during the daytime.
During the nighttime,I have the convienant excuse of being possesed by a demon who seeks vengeance upon anything and everything to do with the word 'bad'.
But during the daytime,I'm in control.So,really,She has every right.
I feel something jerk inside of me.
Speak of the devil....
Damn it.AGAIN with the puns...
Something's wrong,though.Usually,It isn't THIS strong....
I have to get out of here.
Immediatley,I slam the front door of my apartment open,and run out.I'm on the third floor....Which doesn't help matters.
I all but LEAP down the two flights of stairs which I have to get down,desperatley trying to get to the back alleyways.At least there I'll be alone...
- - -
I get there.It reaks of piss and beer,but it'll do.
I catch a glimpse of myself in a window.My eyes are GLOWING...
Before I can advance deeper into the alleyway,That headache starts to get about 10 times worse.Oh man...This is gonna hurt...
Nope,Scratch that.It already is.ALOT...
Need...to....get...away....Have to....fight it....
"AGGGHHHHH!!!!"
I have to resort to crawling my way in....
Seconds later,it begins.
My body combusts.I let out one final scream before my vocal cords are charred away,and my skin burns....
Goodbye Johnny Blaze.Hello Zarathos.
The Mortal's Skin Leaves Me.
All That Remains Is Mere Bone,Flame,And My Leather Attire.
Jonathan Blaze Is But A Mere Memory,For The Moment.Now I Control This Body.
I Have Heard The Mortal's Problems.They Are Nothing.His Pathetic Quarrels With Human Life Are Not Of My Concern.
My Concern Lies With The City Of New York.
Although There Are Good Souls Within This Concrete Inhabitance,There Are Also Sinners.Imperfect Humans Who Have Taken The Path Of Evil.
That Was There Mistake.For Now,Vengeance Shall Claim Them.
I Look At The Mortal's Motorcycle.In This Form,It Is Useless To Me.
I Touch It.It Glows.Within Mere Seconds,It Is My Own.
The Wheels Burn With The Fury Of Hades.The Skull On It's Temple Strikes A Rather Menacing Version Of My Own.And The Entire Vehicle Adorns A Demonic Armor.
The Hell-Cycle,As Blaze Once Reffered It As.
I Step On,And Revv Up The Engine.
It Screams With The Fright Of Lucipher.
I Smile,As Much As A Skeleton Can Smile,Before Taking Off Onto The Streets Of This Mortal's Wasteland.
Sinners...Beware,For Hell Hath No Fury Like That Of Vengeance.
And Vengeance WILL Claim You Tonight.
"Vengeance Shall Be Mine.Oh Yes,It Shall Be Mine."
