A Ghost Rider's Journey Vol. 4: Meeting A New Enemy (x Hyperdimension Neptunia)

Chapter 10

I followed Histoire in the main room with the others, leaving Peashy and Plutia, still sleeping.

Me:"From what you said before, someone came out from this portal two days ago."

Histoire:"That's right. I tried to understand which dimension he's from, but I couldn't do it."

Me:"And where is this guy now? Can't you ask him directly?"

IF:"The fact is, he didn't want to talk. Not at all."

I noticed she was staring at me with doubt. I truly couldn't understand.

Me:"So what happened?"

Histoire:"I'm about to show you."

She went to a monitor and turned it on.

Histoire:"This happened right two days ago, not so far from Planeptune."

I looked at the screen and what I saw was destruction.

A small city was burning, buildings falling apart. Corpses everywhere.

Me:"...My God...all that distruction...all those innocents..."

I couldn't contain my anger. I clenched my fists so hard that I felt blood.

Me:"Who did this?"

Histoire:"Keep watching."

Me:"Why don't you say it!?"

Histoire:"It's better if you see it."

I kept watching. Suddendly a figure was slammed against a wall.

When the dust faded I saw it was a girl, badly wounded. She had dark purple hair and a black metal suit, but I couldn't see better.

Me:"Who is her?"

Neptune:"That's me, in my HDD form."

Then an other girl fell from the sky. She was full of blood and I couldn't see.

Nepgear:"And that was me...as much I'd rather to forget..."

In an instant, something like a giant bullet hit the wall behind them, and the building fell on them.

Then the visual moved to an other camera, showing the responsable. And I felt everything to stop moving.

The one who did that wore a black coat, Matrix like (nice movie), only with spikes on the shoulder.

A black shirt, ripped jeans and black boots with spurs.

Around him, some black chains were floating around, engulfed by flames.

But his face. It was a flaming skull, with very big canines.

He was a Ghost Rider. Like me.

Me:"....W....What?...."

Then he started to threw flames from the mouth on a building.

When he finished, the zoom reduced and a message could be seen.

'Ghost Rider come and chase me'

Then he threw a fireball against the camera and everything went off.

Histoire:"So? Can you tell us who he is?"

But I couldn't hear her. I couldn't stop trembling.

Me:"....Impossible..."

Histoire:"What?"

Me:"IMPOSSIBLE!"

I slammed my fist and broke the desk. Everyone went back.
