Demons Worth Fighting For (a Ghost Rider x Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss crossover)

Chapter 15: You Will Be Okay, CJ

Upon seeing the Radio Demon here on Earth, everyone was surprised. 

Vaggie: Alastor?! I thought you said you didn't want to come here!

Alastor: *chuckle* Of course I did, my dear! But, after seeing all that has happened, how could I resist on being part of the entertainment itself?

Vaggie only rolled her right eye in reply. It was obvious that he would change his mind about things. Then, Alastor cleared his throat.

Alastor: *ahem* As I was saying, I can tell you all on what you need to know about what that witch wanted the Rider to bring, and where to go.

CJ: You mean the Medallion of Power and the Devil's Highway?

Alastor: Precisely, my good man! The Devil's Highway is basically a road, here in the Living World, where it is haunted with many supernatural activities. No human has ever returned alive... at least, not during the night. And it just so happens to be also called Route 666.

Carter opened up his laptop, and typed in the name Route 666 on Google Map, but the results came up with no location.

Carter: But... there's no Route 666 on the map.

Alastor: There was a road with the same name before, but the humans have renamed it to Route 491 for... obvious reasons. One of the highways connected to it is named Route 191, that runs from Canada to Mexico. 

Carter typed that in, and the directions were true. It did ran from Loring, Montana to Douglas Arizona, each near it's respective borders.

Charlie: Um, so... how come it's called the Devil's Highway?

Moxxie: And how dangerous is it?

Alastor: *chuckle* Very dangerous. It's not called the Devil's Highway for nothing. Humans would either die, or disappear from that route with no trace. There are many things that go bump in the night there, like ghosts!

CJ: Okay, I think we get the point. And the Medallion of Power?

But, Alastor looked back at him, with a smile, and half-lidded eyes. He knew that Zarathos was best suited for explaining that.

Alastor: You know, I would tell you all, but I believe the Rider might be able to explain things, better than even I can.

That was when CJ looked down on the floor, as everyone looked at him. In his mind, he was talking to Zarathos.

Zarathos: Better let me handle this, kid. They should know it from me.

CJ: *sigh* Fine.

Letting the Rider back out, he dimmed his Hellfire down, so as to not burn the ceiling above them. With his eye sockets closed, thinking about what to say, Zarathos spoke about that powerful artifact.

Ghost Rider: Back in my early days, as a power hungry demon spirit, the Medallion of Power is a mystical artifact, which existed on Earth, long before the fall of of Atlantis.

Millie: Whoa, whoa whoa. Atlantis? As in the lost city under the sea?

Ghost Rider: Yes. And it was during the time, when humans relied on supernatural items for  protection and power. At that time, I wasn't bounded by any humans, and I was craving for the mystic power from that Medallion. Believe it or not, I wanted to use it to recreate the entire Living World into a world without war or crime, but with limited free will.
