Back in Pentagram City, within the dim-lit area of the VVV Overlords, Vox, Valentino, and Velvette were looking at a huge monitor screen, showing the wanted poster with CJ's human and Ghost Rider forms, his Hell Charger, and the five-hundred thousand souls reward. Vox seemed interested on this bounty, while he was typing in some button on the keyboard. The other two were rather curious.

Velvette: Whatcha' doin' there, Voxy?

Vox didn't say a word, until he pressed the last button. After a static signal, the screen showed a bird's eye view of an Arizonan desert in the Human World.

Vox: Easy. After we all saw that fight, between the Rider kid, that human witch, those Goetias, the King's kin, and that... weird creature, I've taken the liberty of creating a special camera, that will show their every move!

Valentino: Excellent! A work of a true mastermind, Vox!

Velvette: Ohohoho!! Damn, I can't wait to record their embarrassing moments on my Hellphone!

Vox: The only catch is: I can't seem to record any audio, for some damn reason, and when I tried it on that witch, nothing! No video! As if something, or someone, was blocking it.

Valentino: Well, what does it matter?! At least, this way, we can see what they're up to, as long as my little servants do their job.

Both Vox and Velvette looked at the leader of the porn studio in confusion. Valentino was about to, finally, reveal what he was up to.

Valentino: It took me quite some fucking time, but I've managed to convince an old friend of mine of letting me make a little surprise for the Rider. They're in charge of an old mafia gang down in Greed, you see. And he has sent me something rather powerful to create.

Vox: Uhhh... Which is...?

Valentino: Follow me.

The moth demon overlord began to walk towards the door, but not before Vox typed in a few keys, and when the screen display started to move to wherever CJ and his team were located, both Vox and Velvette followed Valentino before they could see them. With them gone, the monitor displayed the entire gang, in their cars, traveling down the Devil's Highway, with Johnny Blaze leading them.

(Andrealphus's Mansion, same time)


Meanwhile, within the living room of Andrealphus's icy mansion, both he and Stella were sitting down on the sofa, skeptically looking at Layla, who still wore her mask. They don't know who this suspicious figure is, but her clothing does seem rather... familiar. Either way, they were strictly allowed to call her Mistress. She was still using her demon voice, as she spoke.

Layla: I suppose you're both wondering who I am, and what is my proposal?

Andrealphus: Hmm, yes. I am more concerned about that fist part. Who are you exactly?

Stella: And why are you wearing a mask in our presence?

Layla: *chuckle* Let's just say that, if you were to discover my true identity too soon, I would have to dispose all of you, no matter your status. So, I'd suggest you wait. For now, Mistress is my name.

Stella could only scowl and cross her arms in irritation. No one has ever dared to threaten her, much less by the Ghost Rider. As for Andrealphus, he simply wanted to go straight to the point of her proposal to help their "status problem."
