Rosario + Ghost Rider

Season II Episode 10: Beyond our strength

The manor was miles away but it was so gigantic that Rane could see it from the tunnel. He had no time to waste so he shifted gears and sped forward towards the manor. The atmosphere reminded him of when he first arrived at Yokai. There was something powerful here and Rane had a good feeling that, at this point, it was waiting for him.

Sov: You're getting nervous.

Rane: Well, unlike you, I'm alive and the closer we get the more I feel my chances of staying that way are dropping.

Sov: Then turn back.

Rane: That isn't much of an option either.

Sov: Yeah, you're right now that I think about it.

Rane: I know.....Wait, why are you agreeing with me suddenly.

Sov: No reason....swerve to the right!

Rane: WHAT!

Rane managed to turn at the last minute as a massive spear of ice flew past him. As the spear flew forward and eventually hit the ground it created an ice wall that covered the road.

Rane: Dammit! Looks like we're making more noise!

Rane shifted into an even higher gear and channeled his fire throughout his body as he let the rider rage and blast through the ice as a flaming battering ram. The rider kept going but had his eyes peeled, looking for where he might be attacked from next, then he noticed people weaving through the woods on his left and right, grinding on rails of ice.

Ghost Rider: Tsurara brought her employees. Hope they have life insurance!

The rider took one hand off the handles of his bike and summoned his flaming chain to his hand but before he could let it fly, Tsurara's men fired beams of ice that froze the road solid causing the rider to lose control and fall off his bike. He slid across the ice until he slammed his fist into the ground to stop and released a blast of fire from his body to melt the ice beneath him and give him a place to stand.  When he got to his feet, however, he was quickly surrounded by Tsurara and her men and standing behind the mastermind was Mizore.

Tsurara: Didn't expect us to catch up so quick did you?

Ghost Rider: I've learned not to underestimate a crazy mom.

Tsurara: Perhaps the first thing I teach you as part of our family is showing some respect.

Ghost Rider: Earn it then!

The rider encased his chain in a blazing fire and swung it towards Tsurara, aiming at the center of her head but Tsurara sidestepped it as well as the men behind her. The rider planned to pull the chain back for another strike but Tsurara's men had encased their hands in thick layers of ice that they used to grab his chain. With their collective force they pulled the rider forward like he was as light as a pebble and when he reached Tsurara she planted her knee right into his gut. He struggled to breath and fell to his knees.

Tsurara: You didn't think I was gonna fight fair did you? I made sure to bring all the ice power I needed to suppress your fire.

Tsurara grab the rider by his jacket and lifted him to where they could look each other in the eye. She smiled, relishing in what looked like an early victory until the rider decided to spit a tiny flame into her face and it burned like hell. Tsurara screamed in pain and pushed the rider away giving him some time to regain his composure but before he could amount any offense Tsurara snapped her fingers and before he knew it, three of her men charged him and rammed their frozen fists into his chin sending him high into the air. The rider was dazed and helpless as the assault continued because as soon as the rider went up he was met by four more of Tsurara's men that kicked him in his chest and sent him back down with a thunderous crash which was followed up by a barrage of beams that encased the rider in ice. However, no ice on earth could put out the rider's flame permanently so he quickly shattered the shell by releasing a flame eruption. The rider thought he would finally be able to amount some offense but Tsurara was too many steps ahead and with another snap of her fingers the rider was assaulted by a flurry of ice spears and each one found it's mark. Some were lodged in his chest, his arms, legs, a few found their way into his skull. He couldn't fight, he could barely breathe and needed to focus his power on healing which was the moment that Tsurara was waiting for.
