Chapter 27 - Tales of Death Rider

Jason left the camp site heading for main road.

He walked while recovering his energy and then finally got to the road waiting for taxi or possible lift.

Suddenly, police cars and bikes blew last him.

"Is that a police chase?"

["Seems like it. Are you good enough to check it out?"]

"Yes, yeah I am."

Jason then formed his suit and ran following the police.

On getting to the scene, which was still on the road, he saw a fuel truck crashed and on fire, including the surroundings.

A man was within the fire and Bolt wanted to help.

["Wait, stop. Look."]

Watching close, Bolt standing in front, while the police their cars behind him, they all pointing their guns towards the crash.

Suddenly a man stood up.

"Who or what in the name of fuck sake is that?"

Bolt in shock as the man's face and head turned out to just be a skull having two horns bent to portray to the sky on the forehead and a flaming crown covering the eye sockets.

He was putting on scorched black jacket, black trousers and black boots.

Hands as expected just bones no skin, and hot chains flowing from within his sleeves and hanging within his grasp, both hands.

["Is it me or does he seem lost"]

"Who are you?"

Bolt walking towards him slowly.

"Yo mate, you good?"

No response from the man standing and looking around calmly, breathe ferocious.

["I am sensing a high spiritual energy from him"]

"What does that mean?"

["He's like us in a way."]

"What do you mean?"

["I'm a spiritual being, and so my spiritual energy flows through you."]

The man then held his chain tighter and at that moment Bolt stood still.

"Everyone get back!"

The man began tilting his head left and right slowly and steadily.

Bolt then ran towards him, but then this happened.

WHIP!!!

In the eyes of all, hot chains to the chest, burnt, hit, and flogged Bolt away as he flew and smashed a police car.

"What the fuck! How was that just possible?"

["Even I can't explain it."]

Suddenly a flaming monster bike, having a skull for headlights pulled up before the man.

The man's chains retracted into his sleeves as he mounted the bike.

He rode away as the path he rode was set in flames.

Bolt then ran back to the lair, and began searching on the monitors.

"Angel can you access all the cameras in the city and try to pick up his location?"

["On it."]

["Got him. He's at the old train station."]

"Let's go."

Bolt then ran to the station and found him sitting on his bike, back against Bolt.

"Who or what are you?"

Bolt forming a gun and aimed at him.

"Put the gun down."

The man responded

"Oh, so you speak. Turn around and face me!"

Bolt moving closer as the man rose on his feet, suddenly his bike rose out of the way and as he turned he released his chains from his left hand at Bolt.

Bolt then leaped into the air dodging the chain and he threw lightning at the man.

The man deflected the lightning with his chains from his right, before releasing fire balls at Bolt.

Bolt formed swords and hit the fire balls, but a chain flogged his right hand as the sword flew off.

But it diapered into lightning and came to Bolt, then he threw it at the man, hitting him and making him stagger.

With great speed both ran towards each other and then—

BOOM!

There was a burst of energy, flames, and lightning.

"Aaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!!!!"

Both giving out as Bolt's right hand wrapped in the man's hot chains as both where pressing against each other.

Sparks of lightning and burst of flames releasing as they both held their ground.

"Who are you?"

The man asked Bolt this time

"Hey, I asked first."

"Answer me, are you some sort of spirit?"

"What do you mean?"

Bolt already confused.

"Never had anyone been able to stop my chains for this long without getting incinerated… So answer you are you a spirit or rather demon."

"Heyy hold it. Not a spirit just possessed by a spiritual being. I am Bolt, now who are you?"

"Death Rider."

Both finally letting themselves go and stepping back from eachother.

Flames suddenly engulfed and enveloped Death Rider, then dispersed and he was transformed back to looking more of a human.

SHOCK!

"Jesus Christ!!! What the fuck?!"

Bolt exclaimed on seeing his face, without hesitation he grabbed him and ran back to his lair.

"Woaw! What was that?!"

"You are me?"

Bolt responded as he was in distress.

"What do you mean?"

Bolt then deformed his suit and both stared at each other.

Truly they were the same person, the same face, same height just one older than the other and one having black hair and the other brown hair.

"This is impossible. What's your name?"

"My name is Jason Jordan."

"No, I am Jason Jordan."

["He his from another dimension."]

"You are not meant to be here."

Bolt saying as they continued staring at each other.

"I can tell, because this isn't my Lagos."

Jason Jordan.

At the age of seven, his father Thomas Jordan, a gangster, made a deal with a demon and didn't keep to his side of the bargain.

The demon slaughtered his parents and sister, Mary when he was ten.

He lived alone, got a job as a delivery person riding his dad's bike.

Age 25. Jason rode home after finishing a delivery, but on the way he was stopped by a red skinned male figure.

"Who are you?"

Jason asked as he turned around to face him.

Having red flames, and an unnatural face, he was a demon having flames for hair.

Grabbing Jason by the neck and lifting him up into the air.

"I am Cypher."

Immediately, the demon breathed fire into Jason's mouth.

The flames consumed and burned him whole.

Screaming in pain as he was on flames, the demon disappeared.

Jason struggled on the ground, his skin turned to ashes leaving him as a skeleton, his clothes weren't consumed totally, and he was alive.

Two horns grew from his forehead, bending to face the sky.

Managing to stand he held onto his bike to support himself.

But, even his bike transformed, getting consumed in flames and becoming a flaming monster bike, headlights became a skill, exhaust bringing out flames.

Jason immediately mounted the bike and rode after hearing the police sirens from a distance.

He got home, transformed back to human and he was unconscious for a week.

Waking up in shock, he then began his search for the demon, going through his household, his parents files for any connections, visiting churches, temples, and libraries trying to put the pieces together.

He eventually found out that his dad made a deal with this demon and failing to fulfil his end of the bargain led to the death of his parents and sister and him becoming a vessel of death.

Along the line he made some enemies.

People who had dealt with the demon, and so they planned to kill Jason, but periodic attacks led to Jason transforming to his flaming self, due to an outburst of emotions.

Eventually he got control over it, and wearing a black jacket, black trousers, and black boots, he hunted them all.

Months passed and he finally found Cypher.

After a tremendous clash, Jason defeated him and sent him back to hell.

But he got a curse and purpose attached to his victory.

In exchange for him not going to hell with the demon, he was cursed with the task of hunting loose demons on the human world and sending them back to hell, and keeping the occultism in check.

Sealed with a crown of flames on and covering his eye sockets, got chains synchronized with his body, it marked the beginning of his purpose.

And so he became Death Rider, and for 6 years he has been the protector of the night.

On the night, after sending a demon back to hell, he was returning home.

Riding home, a dark purple portal opened up behind him and sucked him into it.

Flames burst out of him as he fell through the portal, transforming into his death form, before crashing out through another portal into another dimension.
