Ranma the Ghost Rider

Chapter 3: Breakin' the Law, Judas Priest Style!

Disclaimer: I don't own ol' Flamehead, Ranma and co or any other major characters that will appear in this fic.

“Did you really think you escaped, Ghost Rider?” the demon asked Ranma who kicked it in the gut.

“What does He want with me?” Ranma demanded as the demon sat back up and spat out blood from his mouth, looking up at Ranma.

“You were set free because you are one of only three that can do this little job for us...” the demon replied as Ranma grabbed the demon by the shirt and lifted it off the floor.

“What do you mean by only one of three?” Ranma asked as he gripped the demons shirt tighter and his flames got brighter, making the demon nervous.

“There are two more Ghost Riders in America; Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch. As to why we need your help, Damien got bored of living in his father's shadow and escaped to the Earth realm and was last spotted in China.” The demon replied as Ranma narrowed his eyeless sockets.

“Why don't you get him yourself then?” Ranma asked.

“You crossed over wholly intact, Damien didn't and he needs a host to survive until he regains strength.” The demon replied before Ranma lets go of the demon and starts to walk away.

“Sort out your own damned problems.” Ranma replied as he got back on his bike. He looked down at the demon on the floor, “You better go before I send you back to Hell.” The demon quickly scrambled back to its car and drove off leaving Ranma alone when a police car came along and saw Ranma.

“Shit,” was his only reply to the siren as he started his bike back up while the police officer chased after Ranma. The officer driving the vehicle radioed in for backup just as Ranma turned his bike round and stopped. He kept on revving the engine, deciding to play chicken with the police car. He waited for the vehicle to stop as he kept on revving his engine before speeding forward and leaning back, lifting the front of his bike up and used the front of the car as a ramp taking off over the car leaving a trail of Hellfire on the car.

“How the hell am I going to explain this?” the officer said to herself as she looked in the rearview mirror and saw Ranma speeding off then looked back at the fire on her car. She sighed. Meanwhile, Ranma, still as the Ghost Rider, weaved through the early morning traffic, stunning the people in their cars. When he got to the street where the Tendo's lived, Ranma turned his bike off and turned back into ordinary Ranma. He wheeled his bike down the street and round the back of the Tendo household and did what he did the previous night and the night before that.


Next Morning


It was a normal morning, but Ranma skipped breakfast and tended to his bike, deep in thought about what to do now that he was found out. Kasumi walked onto the back porch and watched Ranma tending to his bike.

“Are you okay Ranma-kun?” Kasumi asked tenatively.

“Yeah. And don't call me that.” Ranma replied.

“You missed breakfast.” Kasumi observed Ranma as he continued to think about accepting this job that was presented to him.

“I'm not hungry right now, Kasumi-oneesan.” Ranma replied before finishing with his bike and looked at Kasumi. “I may have to leave soon, but I'll try to come back,” Ranma told her.

“Why?” she asked.

“There's something I have to do,” he replied simply as he wheeled his bike to the gate to get to round the front of the Tendo household.

“Where are you going Ranma-kun?” Kasumi asked worriedly, stopping Ranma dead in his tracks. He didn't look back at her.

“Out. I'll be back later,” Ranma replied before he wheeled his bike out of the gate. He drove off as Nabiki walked onto the porch and looked at Kasumi.

“Was that Ranma?” Nabiki asked and Kasumi simply nodded back in response.

“Yes... He said he would be back later,” Kasumi explained before she went back inside the house leaving Nabiki alone outside.
Meanwhile, Ranma had turned back into the Rider and leaving a trail of Hellfire to show where he had been. He had his hopes on finding the demon that had found him the previous night to tell the demon his reply.

“Hey, Ghost Rider! So what's your reply?” Ranma heard from beside him and he turned to look at the demon. “Well? What's your answer, boy?” the demon asked again.

“Think you already know my answer,” Ranma said as he looked back at the road.

“You're not going to do it, then?” the demon asked.

“What do I get if I do this little job, huh?” Ranma queried.

“I don't know. Probably your freedom.” The demon replied, baiting him.

“What about removing the Rider from me?"

“I'm not sure. You're better off asking him yourself.”

“You said he was last seen in China?”

“Yeah, so you going to do this job or not?”

“You defiantly know my answer now,” Ranma replied before speeding off just as another police car spots him. “For fucks sake!” he said to himself as he looked back at the police car then looked forward at the road. “Come on, you piece of shit!” Ranma shouted at his bike as the gap between the police car and Ranma closed behind him before he did a U-turn, causing a pile up on the road. He drove off in the opposite direction from the pile up, laughing as he drove back to the Tendo dojo.

“Oh Ranma-kun, you're back.” Kasumi said from the kitchen.

“Yeah.” Ranma replied.

“Did you sort everything you needed out?” Kasumi asked him.

“Yeah. I'm leaving soon.” He replied as Kasumi came out of the kitchen and stood behind Ranma.

“Can I ask you a question, Ranma?” Kasumi asked.

“Shoot.” Ranma replied not noticing that Kasumi left the formality out.

“Are you the Ghost Rider?” Kasumi asked and in the blink of an eye stood in front of her ready to turn into the Ghost Rider.

“Who sent you?!” Ranma demanded to know.

“No one sent me.” Kasumi replied.

“Then how did you know I am the Ghost Rider?” Ranma asked Kasumi before looking into the kitchen dreading if any of the other Tendo's heard what he said.

“They all went out earlier. I didn't know that you are the Ghost Rider. All I knew is that you are sneaking out at night and returning early hours of the morning.” Kasumi replied to Ranma's question.

“I'd really appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone.” Ranma begged her.

“How did you become the Ghost Rider?” Kasumi asked, ignoring the previous comment. He explained to Kasumi how he became the Ghost Rider and once he finished telling Kasumi, Nabiki and Soun returned home.

“We're home!” Soun shouted.

“I'm out on the back porch talking to Ranma, Daddy.” Kasumi replied before looking at Ranma. “Your secret is safe with me, Ranma-kun,” Kasumi added before Nabiki walked through the kitchen and onto the back porch.

“Where did you go this morning, Ranma?” Nabiki asked Ranma.

“I had to go and find a garage; something came loose on my bike,” Ranma lied to Nabiki before Kasumi went inside the house leaving Nabiki and Ranma alone.

“So… what do you want to talk about?” Nabiki asked.

“I dunno.” Ranma replied as he sat back down on the porch.

“Do you mind if I sit beside you?” Nabiki asked.

“You live here,” Ranma replied as Nabiki sat down beside him “...Sorry I didn't tell you where I was going earlier,” Ranma added awkwardly.

“It's okay,” Nabiki said to him, placing her hand over his.

“Dinners ready!” Kasumi shouted and Nabiki and Ranma blushed and looked away from each other as they went inside and sat down together at the table. Soun sat in his usual spot as Kasumi brought the food to the table before sitting down. “Oh my, where is Akane?” Kasumi wondered.

“Probably at one of her friends,” Nabiki guessed.

“Pfft. Her loss.” Ranma said before they ate, once they had finished with Kasumi's meal Nabiki went and took a bath leaving Ranma alone with her father.

“So, son... Tell me. What you think of Nabiki?” Soun asked, nudging his elbow.

“How many times do I have to tell you don't call me that! Nabiki deserves someone better than me,” Ranma said, color rising in his cheeks.

“What do you mean?” Soun begged, tears streaming his face.

“There are things that I never talk about. Things that I have seen. For the last two years of my life I've been nothing but a drifter going from place to place.” Ranma told Soun, who sobered at this.

“...Did Genma die an honorable death?” Soun asked, stone-faced.

“He wasn't honorable. Selling me to several families for food just to feed himself while I starved.” Ranma told him before he stood up suddenly and left the room. He went outside and wheeled his bike out round the front before driving off in the direction of Juuban. He leaned back bringing the front of the bike up into the air and flames shot out of the wheel before covering the bike. Once the flames disappeared, Ranma became the Ghost Rider once again.

Meanwhile back in Nerima, Nabiki had finished her bath, got dressed and went back downstairs as Akane arrived home.

“Ranma gone back out?” Nabiki asked.

“Yes, he has.” Soun replied as he read his paper. Nabiki went to her room to do the books for the household while Ranma arrived at Juuban.
