Shadow Riders Omniversal Journey

Chapter 13

Peter, Petra, and Teresa sat on the couch watching the events of Mortal Kombat unfold, "he's definitely geeking out over the Scorpion guy," said Peter.

"I mean, he's kind of cool," said Emma.

"This is coming from a girl who comes from a family of Ghost Riders, you grandmother, your dad, your uncle, and your youngest brother, of course you'd think a flaming skeleton shooting hell fire is cool," said Teresa.

They heard the balcony door open, and they looked over and saw Kaine and Ben, "Kaine, Ben, what are you two doing here?" asked Peter.

"Something told us to come by, could be Cain being in this new world," said Kaine, Ben just nodded in agreement. The two Scarlet Spiders sat with their siblings and friends.

"I feel like something is coming," said Ben.

"Yeah, I feel it to," said Kaine.

"Could be the web trying to tell us something is off," said Petra, being the host of Neith as her brother is the host of Anansi, they were better connected to the web of life and destiny than most of the other totems, the web tended to warn most of the totems about things happening to it's partnered force, the flame of creation and destruction, the source of the power of the Riders, Riders like Cain, Alejandra, and Robbie.

"Yeah, I feel something is siphoning flames. It feels like Abel," said Ben, feeling guilty.

Abel Blaze, one of the clones, and brothers of Cain Blaze, made by Mephisto along side Seth Blaze, the clones had died to protect their own partners, Ben, and Kaine, or at least as far as the Parker family knew.

Cain didn't talk too much about Seth and Abel, and Peter didn't press too much, Cain was volatile when it came to talking about dead loved ones.

As Cain is watching the battle he feels something strange in the air, it seems he's not the only one as he sees Raiden, and Sheng Tsung looking around as if trying to find the strange presence.

"Zarathos," Cain said.

"It feels like Abaddon, but there's something else to, something familiar," said Zarathos.

Cain looks over to his allies, "I'm going to go check something," said Cain as he activated stealth and left.

The parker family, Sue, her kids, and Emma all sat with anticipation. What was Cain sensing, what would he find, was it this demon he keeps talking about Abaddon.

"Diana, you seem to know a lot about this Shadow Monarch. Do you know anything about Abaddon?" asked Flash.

"I only know rumors, legends and such that my mother has told me, things she's learned from the gods, but from what I know, Abaddon, like Zarathos, is what's called a Monarch, one of nine ancient and powerful godlike demonic entities, Abaddon from what I've heard was called the monarch of white flames, the king of demons, Zarathos was the monarch of shadows, and king of the dead, he would later also be known as the Demon King of Vengeance but that came later from what my mother told me," said Diana.

"The monarchs are said to be so powerful the gods themselves fear them, but despite all of them being strong enough to destroy worlds, Abaddon is considered the weakest of them," Diana said.

Cain walked to where he sensed the demonic energy "you should kill the sorcerer or are you that weak, little monarch," a cold voice whispered.

"I have no need to kill him, yet," said Cain.

"We could be done with this if you just kill him already, what happened to the man who could kill any monster with a flick of his wrist and swipe of his dagger," hissed the voice.
