"So let me get this straight... You made a deal with this Mephistopheles character by getting your thumb caught while reading it. Which caused a drop of your blood to hit the paper and that sealed it?" Agent Fowler asked.

"I can't put it any clearer than that. He convinced me and I got caught." Jack responded. Agent Fowler breathed out heavily as he ran his hands through his hair.

"I honestly don't know what to say to this." He said.

"I do. Jack why would you do something like this, I thought I taught you better than that?" June asked.

"He made it so convincing mom, and I made a promise that I would make sure that she was better. We all know it was possible she could die." He said. Jack did have a point but it still didn't give him leeway to start talking to random people who turned out to be the devil and sell his soul.

"Let us discuss this another time. It would be wise to send them home and let them rest from this experience." Optimus suggested. So the humans were then sent home to hopefully recover from this experience. Two days had passed and Jack has been doing research, trying to obtain a better grasp on the power of the ghost rider. The most he's done was conjure flames with one hand without having to turn into a skeleton so it's progress at its best. Everything was actuality still the same. Jack, Miko, and Raph go to school, see the occasional bully Vince. Though it wasn't for long because he left for a family vacation. The four day weekend was here and the trio of friends were in the autobot base. Raph and Miko were on the couch while Jack stood beside.

"Photoshop." Jack said as they saw an image of a supposed UFO sighting on a conspiracy website. Raph scrolled down. "Kid in a costume." He said on another picture. Raph scrolled down again. "Honestly, they need to do a better job at this if they really want this to be convincing." Jack said unimpressed while he took a drink of coffee. Raph scrolled down once more and they all saw a picture of Bulkhead in his vehicle mode. The window had a red circle around it with a zoom in view of the window. "Uh, we got a live one." Jack called.

"What do you mean by that?" Ratchet asked.

"Remember that conspiracy website we told you about?" Raph asked.

"Ok, who is it this time?" Arcee asked with a bored expression.

"Bulk." Miko responded as she watched the picture get replaced with something else.

"And... done." Raph said.

"To be honest, I think we could make a killing off of this." Miko said.

"Well if Agent Fowler is up for it, he could possibly give us a job for military coveru-" he was stopped short for there was another image that was taken from inside a vehicle. It was Jack when he was the ghost rider with a fire trail left behind. Raph and Miko looked up at Jack with concern. He was still at first, but turned and walked away. Ratchet's detectors suddenly went off.

"We've got a massive energon spike in New Mexico. Decepticons may be active." Ratchet said. That's when it got Jack's attention.

'That's where Blackheart is going' He said as he began to walk down the stairs.

"Jack where are you going?" Miko called out.

"I'm going to New Mexico. Blackheart's going to be there and I know I'm the only one that can stop him." Jack said.

"Jack." Optimus called to him. Jack then stopped and looked. "I understand that you're concerned for everyone and your duty to detain this Blackheart. But for your safety, we cannot allow you to go. We are unsure of what will come of this event." Optimus explained. Jack wanted to say something but he couldn't. Arcee watched Optimus walk away from Jack as the ground bridge opened.

"Alright, the coordinates are set and you'll be at least close to- Arcee where are you going." Everyone looked to see the bot walking away from the group. She then stopped and stared at the floor. Arcee then sighed.

"Optimus... I swore to never disobey any order given to me from a Prime." She trailed. That's when she walked over to Jack and picked him up as she walked back over to the ground bridge. She walked past the others and got in front of the group. "But I'm sorry. Jack is going with us." She said as she placed him down and transformed formed into her vehicle mode. Jack then got on. "We don't have a choice." The pair then sped off and disappeared into the green vortex.

"Optimus, surely you're not going to let this go." Ratchet said. It was quiet as the green vortex continued to glow.

"I'm afraid that I must old friend. As Arcee said. They have no choice but to go." Optimus said. He then stood in front of the group. "Autobots, Roll out." He ordered. They all transformed and drove through the ground bridge. Meanwhile with Arcee and Jack, they had made it outside of Roswell. Jack got off and stared at the town.

"You go ahead and see if you can find anything. I'm heading back to deal with the cons." Arcee said.

"Alright, be careful Arcee." He said. He was about to leave until a hand grabbed his shoulder. Jack turned to see Arcee's hologram Sadie. She then pulled Jack close and kissed him. Jack was taken back by this because it was her Sadie hologram but gave in, placing his hands on her hips. They pulled apart and laid their heads on each other.

"You better come back to me in one piece, understand." She said.

"I will. Trust me." He responded. Arcee let him go and drove off into the distance. Jack then turned back around towards the town of Roswell. "Okay Blackheart... where are you?" He said. Back with the Autobots, they had located themselves up on a vantage point. They looked down at the mine to see the Decepticons have already begun to scavenge it with Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, and Knockout. The Autobots heard noise behind them and looked to see Arcee joining the fight.

"Jack's in Roswell, trying to find anything on Blackheart. What do we got with the cons?" She asked.

"Grunt work extracting the energon from the mine. Megatron, Starscream, and Soundwave are running the play." Bulkhead explained. Bumblebee then looked at Optimus and did his buzz and beeps.

"Bumblebee, Arcee, you two will maneuver down and find a closer position to flank them. Bulkhead, you, Ratchet and I will be them main attacking force." Optimus explained. Bumblebee and Arcee then made their way down without be detected. Taking cover behind a large boulder.

"Lord Megatron, it seems the troupes have found an extension to the mine. Giving us more energon to harvest." Starscream said.

"Continue mining! I want every shard of energon aboard the Nemesis before the Autobots arrive!" Megatron ordered.

"Too late Megatron!" A voice called out. Blue energon bolts began to fly around as Vehicons started to hit the ground. Megatron looked to see Optimus, Bulkhead, and Ratchet charging at them while firing their blasters.

"The Autobots are here, ATTACK!" Megatron ordered. The Decepticons then charged after the Autobots. Leaving an opening for Arcee and Bumblebee to enter the mine.

*Saint Bibles Church*

Blackheart was inside the cathedral as he kneeled in front of a large row of candles. The doors to the church opened and closed as a priest walked in.

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned." He said. Blackheart then turned around and looked at the priest. "I've sinned a lot." He finished.

*Back with the Autobots*

Arcee kicked a Vehicon and knocked him down. Putting him offline in the process. One tried to come up behind her but Bee stepped in and blasted it.

"Thanks bee. Let's head out and meet back up with the others." She said. They both transformed and raced out of the mine. Optimus and Megatron met with a clash of fist and Starscream would Jump in to attack Optimus. Bulkhead fought Soundwave as Ratchet took on Knockout. More Vehicons began to charge and join the fight but were quickly stopped by Arcee and Bumblebee.

"Surrender Megatron! This battle is over!" Optimus said.

"That is what you think Prime, but I have a special gift for your second in command!" Megatron shouted as he threw Optimus back. Megatron turned and fired his fusion cannon at Arcee. The femme quickly dodged and prepared to fire back. But someone then kicked her, making Arcee roll forward.

"It's been too long Arcee." An all to familiar voice said. Arcee widened her optics in shock and utter fear.

"No." She said to herself. She quickly turned to see a black and sliver femme with a Decepticon logo. "Arachnid." Arcee said.

*Back in Roswell*

"Where's the contract of San Venganza!" Blackheart demanded.

"I don't know what you are talking about." The priest said.

"Don't lie to me! You've been protecting it all these years, sworn to secrecy." Blackheart said.

"Sworn to keep it from the likes of you!" The priest said. Suddenly the lights behind them slowly faded dark.

"There's an old saying: "Raise no more devils than you can lay down." My father raised one too many." Blackheart said. The priest then held onto the necklace wrapped around his hand as a cross hanged off of it, silently praying. Blackheart screeched as his skin started to change to a darker shade of blue and his eyes turned black. His mouth gaining a demonic row of teeth.

*with Jack*

Jack walked around the streets of Roswell, hoping to find something of where Blackheart was. Jack could sense that he was here but where exactly is the question. All of a sudden, Jack started to get this overwhelming feeling within himself. It felt similar to when he first transformed. That's when he started to realize. The rider wanted out, it can sense evil close to it. Jack went down to one knee has he heavily breathed. Walking past him was a boy around his age or younger. He noticed Jack and walked over to him.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked.

"Well if Isn't Darby." Someone called out.

"You've gotta be kidding me." Jack said. He looked to his left to see the one and only Vince. But there was someone with him. More like a group of people to be exact. Jack tried to get up and contain himself but the rider did not resist. Vince then handed what looked like money to the person to his left. The group then walked towards jack as he groaned from the pain he was feeling.

"You really think you can escape me Darby. You may act like you're a big shot in Jasper but here you're nothing but a monkey in a cage!" Vince said.

"Vince... I don't want to fight right now hahah." Jack started to laugh as it gained a somewhat demonic tone.

"Well that's too bad. Because you're fighting anyway!" Vince said as he punched jack in the gut. Jack's laugh became louder as Vince and the thugs grabbed Jack. "Nice jacket." He said sarcastically. They then threw him to the ground and started beat and kick him to the ground. The kid that was with Jack stepped in and grabbed Vince.

"Stop, leave him alone!" He said.

"Get lost loser!" Vince said while back handing the boy. He then went back to pummeling Jack. Suddenly a bright orange and yellow light appeared.

"DDRRRAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGHHH!" The rider roared as he launched all of the men that was on top of him off. The rider lowered his head and dropped his arms as he let out a noise that sounded like an exhale. He then locked his skeletal fingers together and popped them. Vince started to lean up as his body ached. He was going to make Jack regret ever doing that. He looked up and his face filled with extreme horror. He didn't see Jack, but an inferno skeleton in biker clothing, slowly walking towards him. Vince was trembling with fear as his breathing became unsteady from panicking. Once the rider was close, he grabbed Vince by the collar of his shirt and jacket and lifted him up. The specter then turned to his right to see his jacket torn at the shoulder. He then turned back to Vince and eyed him up and down. Vince quickly glanced at himself and looked back at the rider.

"Nice. Jacket." He said. The rider dropped Vince. "Very nice." The specter said as he zipped up his new jacket with a new set of gloves. He then heard a shinck sound and looked to his right to see three metal spikes coming out of the shoulder. He looked to his left and got the same result. The rider lifted his arm and clenched his fist. The gloves had tiny spikes pop out from the knuckles to his forearm. Flames started to come out from underneath the gloves and up to his elbow from where Vince had it designed. Armored vehicles then appeared and Mech soldiers started to exit the vehicles.

"There he is, open fire!" One shouted. A Mech soldier then started to fire at the rider. The bullets flying at high speeds. The rider then turned and raised an open palm at the bullets and they instantly melted and collected in his hand. The rider then clenched his fist and moved his arm back, as if he was going to throw something. The rider swung forward and a large spread of melted metal shot out and hit all of the Mech soldiers. Killing them in an instant. He started to walk out of the alley way but all of the sudden stopped he then turned around and pointed at something.

"You." He said. The rider pointed at the boy that helped him. He was shaking in fear as she stood against the wall. Hoping she wouldn't be next. "Innocent." The rider said. He then turned back around and walked away. The boy then hit the ground as he fainted.

*with the Autobots*

Arcee was thrown into a rock wall and hit the ground. Arachnid began to walk closer to her.

"What happened Arcee? You use to be quiet the pray but now you're acting as if your completely powerless." She taunted.

"Shut your mouth you MONSTER!" Arcee shouted at the end as she went to throw a punch. Acrees punch was blocked and arachnid kneed Arcee mid her mid section. Arcee then went to the ground, struggling to keep herself up. As arachnid stood there she looked down at Arcee, a little disappointed by there fight. She then shook her head.

"Honestly I thought you would put up a better fight. I guess not." She said. "Oh well. Insectacons, get rid of her." She ordered. A bunch of bug like Cybertonians appeared a came close to her. Arachnid was going to let them just finish her off and be done with it but decided to stand watch her suffer. The Insectacons were about to attack but they started to hear a noise from her. She started shaking as the noise started to become a bit louder.

"Heheheheheh." Arcee was laughing. She was laughing. Arachnid was taken back by this as was everyone else. She slowly started to stand up but was struggling because of her laughter. "Hhahahahahahahah!!" She continued to laugh as her voice started to change a little. Arachnid then recollected her thoughts.

"What are you standing there for, finish her!" She ordered. The Insecticons then went in to attack. Suddenly a bright flash was set off as the Insecticons were thrown back. Everyone looked to see a nightmarish Arcee as the blue armor on her body changed and looked like a chrome that was burnt and melted. The pink accented pieces of armor on her helm, arms, and legs were engulfed in flames. Her hands looked like metallic bony claws. Her optics had fire breathing out as her mouth on her face plate was sinister and demonic with jagged teeth.

"RRAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHH!!" She roared to the sky. The Insecticons were overwhelmed with fear but they were determined to not fail their queen. One charged but was decapitated by Arcee's arm blades. She then stabbed another with an extended blade with curations that came out. As the fight continued, more Vehicons charged at the Autobots. Arcee saw this and transformed her left arm into a blaster. She fired large balls of Fire that exploded on impact of the Decepticons. One Vehicon jumped onto her back and tried to place her in a head lock but Arcee's claw like hand began to glow from intense heat and she grabbed the Decepticons arm and ripped it completely in half as the metal melted off of it. She then grabbed its helm and melted it down as she crushed it. Megatron dodged Optimus's attack looked around to notice his forces shrinking.

"Soundwave, bridge us back to the nemesis! Decepticons, retreat!" He ordered. Soundwave then opened a ground bridge and the Decepticons were defeated. As the last of them left, Arcee turned around, quickly ran, and transformed into her hell runner mode. Leaving a large trail of fire behind her.

*Back in Roswell*

"Unit 95, come in." A voice called on a radio. The officer in the vehicle then picked up the receiver.

"Go ahead dispatch." He said.

"Be advised, I'm getting reports of possible shots fired, four blocks from your route." The dispatcher said.

"10 4, checking in on it now." He said as he placed the receiver down. The officer then drove down the road until he stopped at a four way intersection that had two armored vehicles sitting in front on the other side. Blocking the road. "What the hell?" He questioned. Suddenly a the two vehicles exploded as a flaming silver motorcycle busted through them. It then turned right as it landed on the ground. The police officer in his vehicle was in complete shock throughout the entire event. Next to his car was the rider walking past him and kicking a piece of the armored vehicle out of the way, cause a miniature explosion. He continued to walk towards his bike. The officer then exited his car. "Hold it!" He ordered. The rider turned around and was met with a baton striking him in the face. The rider slowly turned back around to reveal his jaw dislocated which caused the officers eyes to widen.

Suddenly the motorcycle started transform as it turned into a large flaming robotic monster and was preparing to attack him. The rider then lift his arm up, preventing it from doing it. He then reached for his jaw and relocated it with a grunt. The rider pointed at him.

"Mm Mm Mmm." He shook his head along with his index finger. The rider turned back to the monster as it transformed back to the bike. He then grabbed the chains that were on it and they quickly wrapped them around his arms. He then got on. "Ahh hahahahahah!" He laughed as he sped off, making lights short circuit and exploded. Blackheart was fixing to enter the chopper that was prepared for him, Wallow, and Abigor until they heard the sound of a motorcycle.

"He's coming for us." Wallow said with a little bit of panic in his voice.

"Abigor... you know what to do." Blackheart said. Abigor then transformed into a gust of wind and flew off. The rider raced down the road, chasing after Blackheart until he heard a noise calling to him. He then stopped and looked forward.

"Riiidderrr..." a voice called. He then looked behind him as someone whistled. The rider turned back around when he heard a laugh. All of a sudden Abigor quickly flew towards him and lifted him off his bike, throwing him into a car. Arced transformed and began to fire at Abigor. Fire balls flew into the air as Abigor dodged all of the shots. The rider then got off of the car as the demon landed on top of a building.

"RRAAAUUUGGHHH!" The rider roared as Abigor flew off. Arcee transformed and the rider got, the two then finally gave chase. As the wind demon flew in the sky the rider chased after him, no intention of stopping.

*with the Autobots*

"Ratchet, have you found Arcee's signal yet?" Optimus asked. Ratchet continuously worked at his computer but grunted out of frustration.

"It's just like last time. I can't locate her to find where she is and why she's headed there. But if anything, Jack is with her." He responded.

"No way, you're lying!" Miko said with an enthusiastic voice.

"You should have seen it, it was crazy! First we start kicking some Decepticon butt but Arachnid comes out of nowhere and starts pummeling on Arcee. All of a sudden there's a big flash and Arcee is on fire. She was scary, it even scared me a little." Bulkhead explained.

"Prime!" Fowler called on the screen. "This hole demons taking over the world thing is apparently more serious than we thought because right now I'm in high speed chase of Jack and Arcee and they're constantly gaining speed." He explained. He then moved the communicator around to show them the Rider getting faster and faster as he throws fireballs at some sort of large gust of wind that's desperately trying to dodge the attacks. "We just crossed the Texas border. I'm trying to keep up with them but I won't be able chase after them for much longer." Fowler said. Fowler looked up to see them quickly turn off and head left. It caused a major pile up, making Fowler having to stop his pursuit. "They just made left heading for Lubbock. Prime this is something that needs to be stopped." The communication then stopped with everyone in shock.

"Can this even be stopped by us?" The medic asked his leader. Optimus stared down at the floor in though. He then closed his optics in grimes.

"I'm... afraid not Ratchet. I fear that Jack and Arcee may be our only hope at stopping this new threat." Optimus said.

"What if we could do something?" Miko said. Everyone looked at her. She looked down at Raph. He nodded, understanding the same idea he had. She then looked back at the others. "He may be the vengeful spirit right now but Jack would never forget his friends." She explained.

*In Lubbock*

The Rider raced down the streets with a cop car chasing after him. Abigor headed straight for a build and flew up. As the Rider got close, his eyes became filled with flames and did a wheeley until he hit the side of the building and started to drive up.

"What's the suspects location?" The dispatcher asked.

"Up." The officer said.

"What?" The dispatcher asked.

"The suspect is going up." The officer said as the Rider continued to drive up the side of the building. He was reaching close to the top. When he got up, he flew up and landed on top of the roof. That's when a police helicopter appeared with the spot light on the Rider. At the bottom multiple Lubbock police officers and S.W.A.T troops got into position. As for up top, the Rider connected his two chains and started to swing it in the air.

"Yeeeeeeehaaa!" He shouted as the chain wrapped around the leg of the chopper. The pilot inside began to panic, wondering what was happening. The Rider began to pull it closer to him with large tugs of strength, becoming closer and closer. "Come here!" He shouted. The pilot inside panicked. "You're pissing me off!" The Rider shouted.

"Okay, Okay! I'm sorry!" The pilot said terrified. The vengeful spirit let some of the chain slide out and swung the chopper around. The chain unwrapped, letting the helicopter fly off. The chains then went around his arms.

"You should have joined us rider." Abigor said while materializing. The Rider started walking towards him. "Soon we will have the contract, and you'll be nothing but a footnote. In the history of the new Hell." Abigor said. The Rider then grabbed him and lifted him up.

"Time to clear the air." The Rider said. Abigor laughed as he easily escaped his grasp. The Rider extended his chain whips and swung at Abigor. The wind demon laughed as he felt no pain from the attacks.

"You're a slow learner Rider." Abigor said. The Rider stopped attacking. "You cannot catch the wind!" He shouted. That's when the Rider connected the two hooks and ignited the chains. He separated them and swung them at Abigor. But then he started to rotate them, spinning the chains a circle. He started to pick up speed, causing Abigor to panic. "What?! NOOOOO!" He shouted as he covered his face with his arms. The Rider had finally gotten fast enough to create two flaming cyclones, sucking Abigor in and heating the air. He started to burn as sparks came off. As he screamed in pain, he was being split in half but the two vortexes. That's when Arcee transformed and readied her cannon. She fired her weapon. As they hit, the dying wind demon became completely in half as he was reduced to nothing. The Rider stopped and his chain whips lost its flame as they coiled around his arms.

"Alright come on kids, we've got to get close." June said as she, Miko, and Raph walked through the large pack of news reporters and police officers.

"Should we be doing this, we could get in trouble if someone sees us." Raph said. That's when someone quickly stopped them.

"What do you three think you're doing here. You shouldn't have gotten past security line." A police officer said. That's when they started to worry.

"Well... you see, uh..." Miko stumbled, trying to think of an excuse.

"It's alright officer. I'll take it from here." Agent Fowler said, assuring that it was under control. The officer then walked away. The trio sighed high relief. "It's a good thing I was able to take care of it. Are you sure this will work Miko?" He asked.

"Not really but we couldn't really think of something else." She said unsure. Everyone then heard loud motor noises. Up top the rider revved his engine and sped off of the edge of the roof top. Using one his chain whips, he grabbed ahold of the building and brought himself back. He then started drive down the side of the building. As he came close to the ground, the Rider lifted the front wheel up and prepared for the impact. As he hit the ground it sent a large shockwave of dust and debris. As everything cleared the Rider sat there observing his surroundings as the sound of guns loading and ready to fire. He then turned his and landed on a very distinctive trio.

"Jack?" June quietly questioned. The Rider got off and began walking towards them. His flames started to change. It's normal yellow and orange glow started to fade to a dark blue as his skull started to look more sympathetic than menacing. The same went for the flames under his gloves. June, Miko, and Raph took a few small steps closer to him.

"Prepare to fire." Someone ordered. June quickly looked to her right and back towards The Rider. He slowly reached for June and the others. "Fire!" The same voice shouted.

"No!" June shouted out of panic as the bullets started to fly and hit The Rider, going through his body. Once the shooting died down, everyone was wondering how he was still standing. The Riders gained back his golden flame and with the thrust of his arms he created a large fire wall. Making everyone having to shield themselves with their arms and hands from the intense light and heat. The Rider got back on his ride and quickly drove through police vehicles. Making a flash and sparks fly as he drove. Leaving everyone in a daze. As these events unfold, Blackheart stands atop a building, watching.

"Hmm." He hummed as he cracked a sinister grin.
