Ranma the Ghost Rider

Chapter 4: The Inner Senshi face off against the Ghost Rider

Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma and co, the Brimstone Biker, the Sailor Senshi or any other anime characters that will appear in this story, since they're owned by their respective owners.

Authors Note: I have redone chapter 1and reposted it.

The Sailor Senshi were facing off against another demon and losing badly. Mercury was standing off to one side of the battle, as usual, analyzing the battle trying to find a weakness to exploit. Her computer bleeped at her, causing her look at the screen then at the direction where Ranma would arrive. Within a second, Mercury saw a flame in the distance which got bigger and brighter until it sped right past her singeing the skirt of her uniform.

“What was that?” Mercury asked out loud before going back to her computer desperately trying to figure out what went past her while the rest of the other Senshi just watched as Ranma drove straight through them as if they didn't move.

“Who the hell does this guy think he is?” Uranus shouted as Ranma swerved the bike and unhooked the chain from around his torso. The Senshi finally noticed his head just as he got off his bike and walked past them. He took part of the chain and wrapped it around one hand, the other part in his other hand. He suddenly pulled it tight when Setsuna in her Senshi persona stood in his way.

“Who are you?” Setsuna demanded.

“Get out of my way. This is between me and that thing.” Ranma replied, pointing at the demon and walked past Setsuna, dropping one end of the chain from his hands.

“Ah... Ghost Rider.” The demon said.

“I'm sending you back to where you belong.” Ranma told the demon before throwing his chain, wrapping it around the demons waist. He yanked on the chain pulling the demon towards him making eye contact before punching in its stomach. Ranma let the chain go loose and the Senshi just watched as Ranma pounded the hell out of the demon.

“Just before you send me back... You should know.... He's coming here... just for you.” the demon told him before Ranma put the chain around its neck. He started squeezing, but stopped, “...Not if I get him first.” Ranma yanked the chain back with a mighty swing, taking its head off. He walked back to his bike and past the Senshi who just watched. Ranma put the chain back around his chest before he got back onto his bike and drove up to the Senshi.

“You would have lost anyway.” Ranma told them, making a bad attempt at consoling them.

“Just who the hell are you, anyway?” Uranus asked Ranma who turned and stared at her with his hollow eyes.

“I am the Spirit of Vengeance.” He said simply before driving off. The Senshi watched the Brimstone Biker drive off leaving a trail of hellfire behind him. The girls just looked at each other.

“...What just happened?” Jupiter asked.

“If you saw what I saw, then I have no clue either.” Mars replied.

“You mean the person with the flaming skull and the bike of fire?” Uranus asked her fellow Senshi and they all nodded back in response.

“It's clearly an enemy.” Mars said.

“I don't know Mars. He... it... did help us after all.” Mercury replied.

“Come on, the thing had a flaming skull so it must be evil!” Mars began to rant.

“I suggest you girls leave him alone.” Pluto interrupted the argument, causing the other Senshi to look at her curiously.

“Why?” Neptune asked the Senshi of Pluto, who sighed.

“Because he is a Ghost Rider, a person intent on righting people's pasts.” Setsuna replied.

“I thought that was our job!” Moon added to the conversation.

“No, you idiot, we're the defenders of love and justice!” Mars told Moon before the leader started wailing and burst into tears making the rest of the Senshi sigh. Meanwhile, Ranma, still as his alter-ego, was on his way back to Nerima not realizing that he would face off against the Inner Senshi again. Returning to Nerima, he went straight back to the Tendo's and turned back into Ranma before stopping his bike, then wheeling it around the back. He went inside the Tendo household through the back door and found Kasumi in her usual domain.

“Oh my, you're back.” Kasumi said.

“Yeah.” Ranma replied, looking tired.

“You look horribly tired...” Kasumi observed as Ranma walked away and went upstairs to the spare room. When he got inside his door he fell into his bed, drifting off to sleep listening to the news report Nabiki was watching downstairs.
"The Ghost Rider was spotted in Juuban this evening..."
-Time Gates-

Setsuna sat watching the Time Gates trying to find more about why there is a Ghost Rider in Japan but it just kept on showing her the same thing; the Ghost Rider facing off against someone amongst the ruins of a building.

“You really don't want us getting involved, do you?” Setsuna said hoping for a reply but never got one. “I hope the girls don't go after the Ghost Rider,” she added knowing that it would fall on deaf ears as she teleported back to the apartment that she shared with the Outer Senshi. Meanwhile, at Rei's, the Inner Senshi held a meeting to discuss what to do about the Ghost Rider.

“Just who does she think she is?” Rei ranted, fuming about what Setsuna said to them about the Ghost Rider.

“Well, she has been around longer than us.” Ami said as she worked on her Mercury computer.

“Yeah, whatever. Whatcha doin'?” Rei asked her.

“Just doing some research on the Ghost Rider as Setsuna called it.” Ami told her as she surfed the web on her Mercury computer, finding more than she could've hoped for. “Well... this is interesting," she said, appreciative and surprised.

“What did you find?” The rest of the Inner Senshi asked.

“Apparently... there are more Ghost Riders... in America.” she told them.

“What?!”

“Well, two calling themselves the Ghost Rider. The third called himself "Vengeance". One of the Ghost Riders rides around North America as a drifter righting the wrong doings, the second Ghost Rider and Vengeance have been seen in Brooklyn and have reportedly fought against each other before uniting and fighting a common enemy.” Ami said, not looking away from the screen at the rest of the Inner Senshi as she continued to read about the Ghost Riders.

“That's it! I'm going after this Ghost Rider tonight.” Rei said, standing up.

“But we don't even know where this Ghost Rider is.” Makoto pointed out to Rei.

“Try Nerima,” Minako suggested.

“How would you know Mina-Chan?” Usagi asked.

“I've heard a few people at school talk about the Ghost Rider.” Minako replied and the rest of the Inner Senshi looked at Minako “...What?” she asked.

“Nothing.” The rest of the Inner Senshi replied.

“I'm going to Nerima to defeat this Ghost Rider! Anyone want to come along?” Rei asked and all the Inner Senshi agreed except Usagi and Ami.

“What about you two?” Makoto asked Usagi and Ami.

“Well… I don't know/ Ami did tell us what the Ghost Rider does.” The princess said.

“How do we know that the Ghost Riders rights people's wrongs?” Minako asked Usagi and Ami.

“I want nothing to do with this.” Ami stated.

“I also want nothing to do with this.” Usagi added.

“FINE!” Rei shouted.

Usagi and Ami left Rei's home leaving Rei, Makoto and Minako to plan how to try and defeat the Ghost Rider “I think we did the right thing, Usagi.” Ami told her friend.

“...I hope so.” Usagi replied, looking out into the night as they parted ways.

-Nerima-

Ranma and the Tendo family sat down at the table ready to eat, Ranma beside Nabiki on one side while Akane sat at the opposite side by herself with Soun at the head of the table. Kasumi brought the food in and placed it on the table, then sat next to her youngest sister. After the meal was over everyone went off to do their own thing; Soun settled down to read his newspaper, Akane went into the dojo, Kasumi went back into the kitchen and Nabiki went to do the books for the household leaving Ranma by himself.

“I may as well leave soon so I can get this over and done with.” Ranma said to himself before he went out back to sit on the porch staring at his bike, expecting it to turn into his hellcycle at any moment.

“It won't burst into flames, will it?” Kasumi asked, a little concerned.

“No, not unless I want it to.” Ranma replied without looking at Kasumi.

“Does it hurt when you turn into the Ghost Rider?” Kasumi asked Ranma.

“First couple of times... Your skin burns off, but then you ignore the pain.” Ranma replied in a monotone.

“Did you really meet the Sailor Senshi?” Kasumi asked.

“Yeah.” Ranma replied simply before Kasumi went back inside leaving Ranma alone, not wanting to press the matter. As it started to get dark Ranma got up and went inside preparing to make his rounds as the Rider once everyone had gone to bed for the night. When that time came Ranma got out of bed and opened the window. He made his way to his bike and wheeled it round to the front of the Tendo's and down the street. He got onto the bike and started it up, driving off as flames engulfed his bike.

Meanwhile the three Inner Senshi arrived in Nerima and started to look for the Ghost Rider who was going round the streets of Nerima leaving a trail of hellfire in his wake.

“Are you sure that its here?” Mars asked.

“Supposedly the Ghost Rider only comes out at night.” Venus replied as Jupiter cracked her knuckles.

“Good, let's just find this Ghost Rider and defeat it.” Jupiter said not realizing how close they were to the Ghost Rider until they heard the roar of a motorcycle getting closer to them until they saw a light coming towards them and getting brighter until it passed and singed the skirts of their uniforms.

“That was the Ghost Rider.” Mars said.

“After it!” Venus shouted and the three Inner Senshi chased after the Ghost Rider who turned his flaming skull of a head and saw them chasing after him.

“What do they want?” Ranma asked himself.

“MARS FLAME SNIPER!” Mars shouted before firing her attack and it narrowly missed him.

“What the hell!” Ranma shouted as he swung his bike round and looked at them.

“In the name of love and justice, we the Sailor Senshi shall defeat you.” Mars said.

“I'm sure there were more of you lot?” Ranma asked them.

“Oh just shut up and fight!” Jupiter said and Ranma shook his head and swung his bike back round and went to drive off before giving them the bird which made them furious before driving off.

“Why you…” Mars said.

“Let me handle this Mars.” Venus said before using her `Venus love me chain' to try and catch Ranma, but what surprised them was that he was driving up the side of a building.

“What the hell?” The three Inner Senshi said.

“That is not possible.” Mars said.

“What are we doing still standing here, after it!” Venus said and they gave chase, Ranma still as his alter-ego stopped his bike on top of a building with his chain in hand.

“They want a fight, they've got one.” Ranma said as he started his bike back up and drove off the roof of the building, hit the floor and drove straight for the Sailor Senshi.

“There he is… coming straight towards us.” Jupiter said as Ranma got closer before they scattered to avoid being hit by Ranma.

“That was a little close.” Venus said to herself as Ranma stopped his bike and got off the bike, his chain still in his hand walked slowly towards the three Inner Senshi.

“You want to fight the Spirit of Vengeance?” Ranma asked.

“You are evil, we must defeat you.” Mars said.

“Is it because of the flaming skull?” Ranma said making the three Inner Senshi nod before Mars fired her Mars flame sniper at Ranma and it hit dead center in the chest and did nothing making Ranma look at his chest, “it's going to take a lot more than that to hurt me.” Ranma told them as they looked at Ranma as he started walking towards them and they started to back away.

“What's the matter, finally fighting someone that can defeat you?” Ranma said as he continued his advance towards the three Inner Senshi, when Jupiter decided to take a chance and attacked Ranma before feeling something wrap around her legs making Jupiter look at her legs, it turned out to be the chain he had been holding and he yanked the chain back making Jupiter hit the floor before he unhooked the chain from Jupiter's legs and pulled it back.

“What he hell? I didn't even expect that,” Jupiter said from her spot on the floor.

“Was that something I forgot to mention?” Ranma asked snidely as Jupiter jumped back up on her feet and the three Senshi surrounded Ranma making him swing his chain round low knocking onto the floor before throwing it high and one end of the chain embed in a building enabling him to climb up the chain until he reached the top of the building before pulling the other end of his chain from the building and waited for the three Senshi to arrive on the building.

“We shall defeat you, demon!” Mars said as the three Senshi arrive where Ranma is.

“Why do you think I'm a demon?” He asked them.

“Does the flaming skull for a head and the motorbike of fire answer your question?” Venus replied.

“Actually that's hellfire, and it's just the wheels.” Ranma deadpanned.

“So you are a demon!” Jupiter accused the Spirit of Vengeance who sighed in response.

“Yes and no.” he told them before continuing “whilst I do have a demon within I can control it, I only turn into the Ghost Rider in the presence of evil.” He told them.

“I don't believe you.” Mars said accusing the Ghost Rider of lying before the battle between three of the Inner Senshi and the Ghost Rider continued on the roof of the building when of the Inner Senshi stood back a little too far and fell off the roof and felt the chain of the Ghost Rider wrap around her leg stopping her from hitting the floor before being pulled back up.

“Don't worry, I got you.” He said as he pulled her back onto the roof before the chain let go and he grabbed her hand and helped her up.

“Thank you.” The Senshi of Venus said before he turned his back.

“You should get going, before I change my mind.” He told them before jumping off the roof and made his way over to his bike and got on it then drove off leaving the Senshi's of Mars, Jupiter and Venus dumbfounded before they headed back to Juuban and Ranma headed back to the Tendo Household before turning back into Ranma and stopping his bike and wheeling down the street where the Tendo's lived and to round the back of the Tendo household before climbing back up to the window of his room, opening the window and climbed in before closing it and got undressed before climbing into bed and going to sleep.

Authors note: As usual special thanks to my pre reader and editor Dark Twilight and thanks to DrewB1442 and Final Knightmare for reviewing… now to Q&A time.

As I have explained in one of the previous Q&A's none of the Marvel people who have appeared in Ghost Rider will appear in this story even though there may be a vengeance esque character appearing soon, but if I do a follow up there will be Marvel characters appearing.

Ranma will run into the Sailor Senshi quite a few times.

I've already planned out chapter 5 through to 12.

R&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
