Watch the original version of Ghost Rider
Prologue
Johnny Blaze was once a young, talented stunt cyclist with a bright future ahead of him. But when his father fell terminally ill with cancer, Johnny’s world came crashing down. Determined to save him, Johnny made a fateful decision – he sold his soul to the devil, Mephistopheles, in a desperate attempt to cure his father’s illness. In exchange for his soul, Mephistopheles offered Johnny a cure for his father and the promise of a life free of pain.
Years later, Johnny has become the Ghost Rider, a fiery vigilante with supernatural powers. He is tormented by the cost of his deal with Mephistopheles and the realization that he may never be able to regain his humanity. But when his path crosses again with his childhood love, Roxanne Simpson, now a successful reporter, his world is turned upside down once again. And as Johnny begins to learn the truth about the true nature of his deal with Mephistopheles, he realizes that he will have to fight for his soul and his sanity.
Chapter 1: The Deal
Johnny sat in the dilapidated hospital room, holding his father’s hand. He couldn’t bear to see him so weak, so helpless. He knew what he had to do. He would do anything to save his father’s life.
He was lost in his thoughts when he heard a voice – a deep, menacing voice that seemed to come from nowhere. “I can help you, Johnny,” it said. “I can cure your father’s cancer, but it will come at a price.”
Johnny looked around, searching for the source of the voice. There was no one there. “Who are you?” he asked, his voice shaking.
“I am Mephistopheles,” the voice replied. “And I can give you what you want. But in return, you must sell me your soul.”
Johnny was taken aback. Selling his soul? Was it worth it to save his father’s life? He didn’t know what to do.
Mephistopheles sensed his hesitation. “Think about it, Johnny. You can save your father’s life. You can have the world at your feet. All you have to do is give me your soul.”
Johnny looked at his father, lying there so weak and frail. He knew what he had to do. “I accept,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Mephistopheles smiled. “Very well. The deal is done. Your father will be cured, and you will be mine. And one day, I will come for you.”
And with that, he was gone.
Johnny felt a chill run down his spine. What had he done? He had sold his soul to the devil. Was it worth it? He didn’t know.
But as he watched his father slowly regain his health, he realized that maybe it was worth it. Maybe it was all worth it, if it meant that he could have more time with his father.
Little did Johnny know that his deal with Mephistopheles would lead him down a path of darkness, betrayal, and redemption. And that he would become the Ghost Rider – a figure of myth and legend, feared by many and revered by few.
Chapter 2: The Transformation
Johnny Blaze felt the heat coursing through his body as he underwent a transformation like no other. It was a metamorphosis that would change his life forever. He had sold his soul to Mephistopheles, and now he was being transformed into the Ghost Rider.
His body trembled as the magic surged through him, the power of hell coursing through his veins. He could feel his skin starting to blister and peel, his bones cracking as they shifted beneath his flesh. He screamed in agony as his body contorted, his eyes burning with a fierce, red light.
As the transformation continued, Johnny’s senses sharpened. He could see and hear things that he never could before, and his strength increased tenfold. He felt invigorated, but also terrified. He was no longer human, but something far more dangerous.
With a roar, Johnny Blaze emerged from the chamber, fully transformed into the Ghost Rider. Flames licked at his body, his leather jacket and pants replaced with a fiery ensemble that would strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. His eyes glowed with an eerie red light, and the air around him crackled with dark energy.
At first, Johnny was overwhelmed by the changes that had taken place within him. He had a newfound strength and agility, but he was also filled with anger and aggression. He struggled to control the dark power that now resided within him, but he knew that he had a mission to complete.
Mephistopheles had given him a purpose, a reason for being. As the Ghost Rider, he was to capture escaped souls and bring them back to hell. It was a task that Johnny didn’t fully understand, but he knew that he had to carry out his duties as the Ghost Rider.
He took to the streets on his motorcycle, the fiery machine propelling him forward as he searched for his first target. The Ghost Rider’s senses were heightened, and he could sense the presence of escaped souls nearby. He followed his instincts, speeding through the crowded city streets in search of his prey.
Finally, the Ghost Rider caught up with his target: a man who had escaped from hell and was wreaking havoc in the mortal world. The man was a powerful sorcerer, and he didn’t go down without a fight. The Ghost Rider engaged him in a fierce battle, using his newfound powers to strike fear into the sorcerer’s heart.
With a final burst of energy, the Ghost Rider was able to capture the sorcerer and send him back to hell. As he stood over the vanquished foe, Johnny Blaze felt a rush of adrenaline. He had completed his first mission as the Ghost Rider, and he knew that there were many more to come.
But as he rode away, Johnny couldn’t shake the feeling that he was no longer in control of his own fate. The power of the Ghost Rider was overwhelming, and he feared that he was being consumed by it. He longed for the days when he was a simple stunt cyclist, before he sold his soul to the devil and became something far less human.
With the memory of Roxanne Simpson still fresh in his mind, Johnny Blaze knew that he had a choice to make. He could continue on his path as the Ghost Rider, sacrificing everything that made him human, or he could fight back against the darkness and reclaim his soul. The decision was his, but in the end, only time would tell whether he had made the right choice.
Chapter 3: The First Mission
Johnny Blaze, now the Ghost Rider, has successfully captured his first escaped soul. However, the battle has left him shaken and he’s beginning to struggle with the dark side of his supernatural powers. He can feel the fiery spirit within him, constantly urging him to give in to his primal instincts.
As he returns to his hideout, a rundown old warehouse on the outskirts of town, he collapses to his knees and clutches his head. The voices in his mind are growing louder and he can feel his control slipping away. He tries to remember the face of his father, the memory of the pure-hearted Roxanne, anything that can ground him and bring him back to reality.
Suddenly, there’s a knock on the door. Johnny jumps to his feet, his senses heightened as he instinctively prepares for a fight. He opens the door to find a young boy, no more than ten years old, standing before him.
“Are you the Ghost Rider?” the boy asks, looking up at Johnny with big, curious eyes.
Johnny hesitates, unsure of how to respond to such an innocent question. Finally, he nods his head.
“Yes, I am,” he says. “But you shouldn’t be here. It’s not safe.”
The boy ignores his warning and steps inside the warehouse, looking around with wonder. Johnny can feel the fire inside him flare up at the sight of the child, his instinct to protect and serve taking over.
“What’s your name?” Johnny asks, trying to distract himself from the heat building inside him.
The boy grins. “My name’s Timmy.”
Johnny nods. “What are you doing here, Timmy?”
Timmy shrugs. “I heard about you on the news. They say you’re the only one who can catch escaped souls.”
Johnny can feel the weight of responsibility bearing down on him. He knows that he has a duty to fulfill, but at what cost? The Ghost Rider is a creature of vengeance, fueled by the very flames of hell. He can’t allow himself to lose control, no matter how much he wants to.
“Listen, Timmy,” he says. “You have to leave. It’s not safe for you to be here.”
But Timmy is insistent. “I want to help,” he says. “I can be your sidekick or something. I’m really good at Scooby-Doo impressions.”
Johnny can’t help but smile at the boy’s enthusiasm. He remembers a time when he was just as innocent and carefree. But that time is long gone. He’s made a deal with the devil, and he knows that there’s no going back.
“Okay, Timmy,” he says. “You can help me. But you have to promise me that you’ll listen to everything I say and stay out of harm’s way.”
Timmy nods eagerly. “I promise!”
Johnny takes Timmy under his wing, training him in the art of demon hunting. It gives him a sense of purpose, knowing that he’s able to teach someone the skills he’s learned over the years. But as their training progresses, he can feel the fire inside him growing more and more unstable.
One night, as they’re patrolling the streets, they come across a group of demons attacking a young woman. Johnny sends Timmy to safety as he transforms into the Ghost Rider and confronts the demons. He can feel the power coursing through his veins, the flames of hell at his command.
The battle is intense, but the Ghost Rider emerges victorious. He sets the woman free and watches as she runs off into the night. But something has changed in him. He can feel the primal urges within him growing stronger, the fire threatening to consume him completely.
As he returns to his hideout, he collapses to the ground, the fire burning him from the inside out. Timmy rushes to his side, trying to help him, but it’s too late. The Ghost Rider has lost control, giving in to the darkness within him.
For hours, Johnny writhes on the ground, his body consumed by flames. Timmy watches in horror as his mentor becomes something else entirely. When the flames finally die down, the Ghost Rider is gone, replaced by something much darker and more dangerous.
Johnny Blaze, the man who sold his soul to save his father’s life, is lost to the fiery spirit within him. And it’s only a matter of time before he succumbs to its power completely.
Chapter 4: The Return of Love
Johnny and Roxanne’s reunion was bittersweet. While they both longed for each other’s company, there was a cloud of uncertainty hanging above their heads. Johnny knew that his deal with Mephistopheles had ripple effects, and he couldn’t forget the fact that he had sold his soul for the chance to save his father’s life. Furthermore, he had to accept that his newfound powers as the Ghost Rider were a part of that deal, powers that he had to use for the greater good.
As Johnny gazed into Roxanne’s eyes, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of longing. She was the love of his life, and being near her made him forget about his struggles, even just for a moment. However, that moment was interrupted by the voice of Mephistopheles.
“Johnny, we need to talk,” Mephistopheles said in a stern and urgent tone.
“What is it?” Johnny replied, with a tinge of hesitation.
Mephistopheles then revealed his intentions for the Ghost Rider: he needed Johnny to capture escaped souls, to maintain the balance between heaven and hell. Moreover, Mephistopheles made it clear that Johnny was not free from his contract yet.
“You still have work to do, Johnny. And until then, you will remain the Ghost Rider,” Mephistopheles said with a smirk.
Johnny felt a sense of betrayal, as he had been under the impression that he would be freed from his contract after fulfilling his end of the bargain. He knew that his reunion with Roxanne was short-lived, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt for involving her in his dangerous world.
“Johnny, we can make this work,” Roxanne said, reassuringly. “I’ll help you in any way I can.”
Johnny was unsure about Roxanne’s sudden change of heart, but he knew that he needed her help. He began to confide in her, slowly revealing the dark details of his deal with Mephistopheles and his struggles as the Ghost Rider.
As they talked, Johnny began to realize the true extent of his powers. He learned that he could manipulate fire, causing it to erupt from his hands and envelop his entire body. Moreover, he discovered that he could unleash a fiery inferno that could incinerate anything in its path.
Johnny also learned that his powers came at a cost. Every time he transformed into the Ghost Rider, a part of his humanity disappeared. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread, knowing that he was slowly becoming less human.
Despite the gravity of their situation, Johnny and Roxanne managed to find solace in each other’s company. They spent their time reminiscing about the past and imagining a future together. However, their happiness was short-lived, as Mephistopheles had a surprise in store for them.
One day, Johnny received a message from Mephistopheles, summoning him to his presence. Johnny knew that this was not good, but he had no choice but to obey. He left Roxanne behind, promising to return as soon as he could.
As Johnny arrived at Mephistopheles’ castle, he was immediately struck by the dark and ominous aura that surrounded it. He was greeted by Mephistopheles, who revealed the true nature of his intentions.
“I need you to do something for me, Johnny,” Mephistopheles said cryptically.
“What is it?” Johnny replied, with a sense of dread.
“I need you to capture a particular soul. This soul is important to me, and I need it back,” Mephistopheles said, with a twisted grin.
Johnny felt a sense of betrayal. He had thought that his deal with Mephistopheles was over, but now he was being drawn further into the darkness. He knew that he couldn’t take on this task alone, and he needed Roxanne’s help.
As Johnny made his way back to Roxanne, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt. Roxanne had been unwittingly dragged into his dangerous world, and he knew that it was only a matter of time before she was hurt or worse.
“Johnny, what’s wrong?” Roxanne asked, with concern in her voice.
“Things have changed, Roxanne. Mephistopheles has a new task for us,” Johnny said, with a heavy heart.
“I’ll help you, Johnny. We can do this together,” Roxanne said, reassuringly.
Johnny and Roxanne set out to capture the elusive soul, but they quickly realized that it was not going to be an easy task. The soul was cunning and had a network of followers that were willing to do anything to protect it. Moreover, they had to deal with supernatural forces that were aiding the soul in its escape.
As Johnny and Roxanne fought their way through the obstacles, they discovered something shocking. The soul they were tasked to capture was none other than Johnny’s estranged father.
Johnny couldn’t believe it. He had thought that his father had died, but it seemed that he had been trapped in a supernatural limbo, unable to move on. Furthermore, Johnny discovered that Mephistopheles had been manipulating him all along, using his father as a pawn to draw him further into his dark world.
Johnny was devastated, but he knew that he had to make a choice. He could either continue down this path, risking everything he held dear, or he could find a way to break his contract with Mephistopheles and live a normal life with Roxanne.
As he stood there, with Roxanne by his side, Johnny knew what he had to do. He had to end the cycle of darkness and find a way to redeem his soul. With a renewed sense of purpose, Johnny and Roxanne made their way back to Mephistopheles’ castle, ready to face whatever came their way.
To be continued…
Chapter 5: Betrayal
Johnny sat in shock as Roxanne revealed her true allegiance. He felt a cold chill run down his spine as he realized that he had been deceived by the woman he loved.
“How could you do this to me, Roxanne?” Johnny asked, his voice breaking.
Roxanne looked at him with a pained expression. “I didn’t have a choice, Johnny. Mephistopheles had my family. He said he would kill them if I didn’t go along with his plan.”
Johnny shook his head, not believing what he was hearing. “So you were working with Mephistopheles this whole time? You helped him turn me into the Ghost Rider?”
Roxanne nodded hesitantly. “I had to. I’m sorry, Johnny. I never wanted to hurt you.”
Johnny stood up, his eyes flashing with anger. “You’re sorry? Sorry doesn’t cut it, Roxanne. You betrayed me! You betrayed everything I stand for!”
Roxanne stepped towards him, her hands held out in a plea for mercy. “Please, Johnny. I know I messed up. But we can still fix this. We can stop Mephistopheles together.”
Johnny looked at her, feeling torn. A part of him wanted to forgive Roxanne, to believe that she was only doing what she had to do. But another part of him was filled with rage, knowing that he had been used as a pawn in her game.
“I don’t know if I can trust you, Roxanne,” Johnny said, his voice low and dangerous. “You lied to me. You helped Mephistopheles turn me into the Ghost Rider. How do I know you’re not working against me now?”
Roxanne took a step back, visibly upset. “I swear to you, Johnny. I’m on your side. Mephistopheles has to be stopped. I’m just as much a victim in all of this as you are.”
Johnny narrowed his eyes, looking at her with suspicion. He knew he had to be careful. He couldn’t let himself be manipulated again.
“Fine,” he said, gritting his teeth. “We’ll work together for now. But don’t think for a second that I trust you.”
Roxanne nodded, relieved. “Thank you, Johnny. I won’t let you down.”
But as they made their way out of the hideout, Johnny couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. He couldn’t help but wonder if he was making a mistake by teaming up with Roxanne again.
As they walked out into the night, Johnny noticed a car parked across the street. It looked suspicious, and he had a feeling that it was connected to Mephistopheles.
“Stay here,” Johnny said to Roxanne, holding out his hand to stop her from following him. “I need to check something out.”
He approached the car cautiously, his senses on high alert. As he got closer, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from inside the vehicle. He drew his chain, ready to fight.
But as he reached the car and peered inside, he was met with a shocking sight. It was not Mephistopheles or one of his minions sitting behind the wheel. It was someone he knew all too well.
“Danny?” Johnny said, his voice filled with confusion.
Danny Ketch, Johnny’s former friend and fellow stunt cyclist, looked up at him with a sly grin. “Hey, Johnny. Long time no see. How’s it going?”
Johnny reeled back, shocked by the unexpected appearance. Danny had disappeared years ago and was presumed dead.
“What the hell, Danny? Where have you been all this time?”
Danny shrugged, looking unconcerned. “Around, you know? I’ve been keeping busy.”
Johnny didn’t buy it. He knew there was more to this than Danny was letting on.
“What are you doing here, Danny?” Johnny asked, his tone hard. “And why are you following us?”
Danny smirked, his eyes glinting with malice. “I’m here to make sure you don’t ruin Mephistopheles’ plans. He’s got big things in store for you, Johnny. And I’m here to make sure you don’t mess it up.”
Johnny felt his blood boil as he realized that Danny was working for Mephistopheles. He clenched his fists, ready to fight.
“You picked the wrong side, Danny,” Johnny growled. “I won’t let you or Mephistopheles stand in my way. You’re a dead man walking.”
Danny laughed, unfazed. “Is that a threat, Johnny? You know I’m not afraid of you.”
He stepped out of the car, revealing a pair of blazing eyes. Johnny felt his heart sink as he realized what was happening.
“Danny?” he said, his voice shaking. “Is that you? Are you the new Ghost Rider?”
Danny nodded, smirking. “You got it, Johnny. And I’m not going to let you or anyone else stop me. I’m on Mephistopheles’ side now. And you’re going to pay for betraying him.”
Johnny tensed, ready to fight. He knew that this battle would be one of the toughest he had ever faced. But he also knew that he couldn’t back down. Not now.
“Bring it on, Danny,” Johnny said, his voice steady. “I’m ready for you.”
Chapter 6: The Final Battle
Johnny Blaze’s eyes blazed with hatred as he stood face to face with Mephistopheles, the demon who had manipulated him into becoming the Ghost Rider. The fiery chains that bound him to the demon flared up, searing his flesh as he struggled against them.
Mephistopheles grinned maliciously, relishing in his victory. “You are nothing but a puppet, Ghost Rider. And now that I have defeated you, your soul belongs to me forever.”
But Johnny refused to give up. He summoned all of his remaining strength and broke free from the chains that bound him. Flames erupted from his body as he charged at Mephistopheles.
The demon tried to retaliate with his own dark magic, but Johnny was too powerful. He dodged the attacks and landed blow after blow, determined to destroy the demon once and for all.
As the battle raged on, Roxanne watched from the sidelines, torn between her loyalty to Mephistopheles and her love for Johnny. She knew that she had to make a choice, but the decision was tearing her apart.
Just as it seemed like Johnny had the upper hand, Mephistopheles unleashed a powerful blast of energy that sent him flying across the room. He crashed into a nearby wall, his body battered and broken.
Mephistopheles approached him slowly, relishing in his victory. “It’s over, Ghost Rider. Your soul is mine.”
But Johnny refused to give up. With the last of his strength, he summoned the power of the Ghost Rider and unleashed an inferno of flames that engulfed Mephistopheles.
The demon screeched in agony as he burned, his body slowly disintegrating into ash. Johnny watched as the demon was consumed by the flames, his victory finally accomplished.
Roxanne approached him cautiously, unsure of what to say. Johnny looked at her with a mix of sadness and anger. “Why, Roxanne? Why did you betray me?”
Roxanne looked down, ashamed. “I had no choice, Johnny. Mephistopheles promised me so much. Power, wealth, everything I ever wanted. I couldn’t resist.”
Johnny shook his head, feeling a deep sense of hurt and betrayal. “I trusted you, Roxanne. I loved you.”
Roxanne nodded, tears streaming down her face. “I know, Johnny. And I’m so sorry. I’ll make it up to you. I promise.”
Johnny turned his back on her, knowing that he could never fully trust her again. But the battle was over, and he had finally defeated Mephistopheles. His soul was free, and he could finally live a normal life with the woman he loved.
As he walked away from Roxanne and the smoldering ashes of Mephistopheles, Johnny couldn’t help but feel a sense of emptiness. The scars of his time as the Ghost Rider would never fully heal, but he knew that he had done what he had to do.
The world was safe once again, and Johnny Blaze was finally free.
Chapter 7: Redemption
Johnny Blaze stood before the smoking ruins of Mephistopheles’ lair, the ashes of his demonic captors swirling around him in the wind. He was no longer the Ghost Rider, no longer bound to fulfill the devil’s bidding. He was free.
Roxanne stood beside him, her eyes filled with both relief and concern. Relief that Mephistopheles had finally been defeated, and concern for the man she loved, who had been through more than any mortal should endure.
“Johnny, are you okay?” Roxanne asked, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.
Johnny tried to smile, but the pain in his chest made it difficult. He had been burned, both physically and emotionally, by his time as the Ghost Rider. He had seen things that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
“I’m…I’m okay,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I just need…I need some time.”
Roxanne nodded, understanding. “Take all the time you need,” she said. “I’ll be here for you.”
Johnny looked up at her, grateful for her presence. He had missed her so much, missed her warmth and her smile and the sound of her voice. He reached out and took her hand, holding it tightly.
“Roxanne, I’m so sorry,” he said, his voice rough with emotion.
Roxanne looked confused. “Sorry for what?”
“For everything,” Johnny said, his eyes filling with tears. “For leaving you, for putting you in danger, for everything.”
Roxanne’s eyes softened, and she stepped closer to him, wrapping her arms around him. “Shh, it’s okay,” she said, holding him tightly. “It’s over now. We can start again.”
Johnny nodded, his body trembling with the weight of all that he had been through. He had been so focused on saving his own soul, on defeating Mephistopheles, that he had forgotten what was truly important: his love for Roxanne.
“I love you, Roxanne,” he said, his voice raw with emotion. “I never stopped loving you.”
Roxanne smiled, her eyes shining with tears. “I love you too, Johnny,” she said. “I always have.”
They held each other for a long time, both of them lost in their own thoughts and emotions. Johnny felt a sense of peace wash over him, a sense of relief that he had never felt before. He had finally defeated his demons, both literal and metaphorical, and he was free to start a new life with the woman he loved.
As they stood there, the wind blowing around them, they heard a faint whisper on the breeze. It was the voice of Mephistopheles, faint but unmistakable.
“Well done, Johnny Blaze,” the voice said. “You have earned your redemption.”
Johnny looked up, his heart racing with a mix of fear and anticipation. He had defeated Mephistopheles, but he knew that the devil was not one to be underestimated.
“What does that mean?” he asked, his voice trembling.
There was no answer. The wind died down, and the whisper was gone. Johnny and Roxanne stood there in silence, each of them lost in their own thoughts.
Finally, Roxanne spoke up. “What do you think he meant by that?” she asked, her voice soft.
Johnny shook his head, a look of uncertainty on his face. “I don’t know,” he said. “But I have a feeling that we haven’t seen the last of him.”
Roxanne nodded, knowing that Johnny was likely right. Mephistopheles was a creature of darkness, and he would not go down without a fight. But for now, they were safe, and they had each other.
They turned and walked away from the ruins, hand in hand, ready to face whatever lay ahead. They didn’t know what the future held, but they knew that, as long as they were together, they could face anything.
As they walked, Johnny felt a warmth in his chest, a sense of contentment that he hadn’t felt in years. He had been through hell and back, quite literally, but he had come out on the other side. He had found his redemption, and he was ready to start a new life with Roxanne.
The sun was setting behind them, casting an orange glow over the landscape. Johnny and Roxanne walked toward the horizon, ready to face whatever lay ahead. Together, they were unstoppable, a force of love and light that could overcome even the darkest of demons.

ROXANNE: (placing her hand on his shoulder) Johnny, I know you. You’re a good person. You can’t let Mephistopheles control you.

JOHNNY: (standing up) Not anymore.
Johnny transforms into the Ghost Rider, ready to fight. The demons charge towards them but Roxanne stands her ground, fighting them off.
ROXANNE: (panting) Johnny, what do we do?
GHOST RIDER: (determined) We fight. Together.
The Ghost Rider and Roxanne fight off the demons, using their combined strength to defeat them. Mephistopheles disappears, laughing maniacally.
ROXANNE: (panting) We did it.
GHOST RIDER: (nodding) For now. But we can’t let our guard down. We have to be ready for whatever Mephistopheles throws our way.
ROXANNE: (smiling) We will be. Together.
The Ghost Rider nods, a sense of determination in his eyes. He knows that with Roxanne by his side, he can face anything that comes his way.
Scene 4
FADE IN:
EXT. NEW YORK CITY – DAY
Johnny Blaze and Roxanne Simpson are walking through the crowded streets of New York City. They stop at a small café, and Johnny orders two cups of coffee.
ROXANNE
So, what’s it like being the Ghost Rider?
JOHNNY
It’s like being trapped in my own body. Sometimes I can barely control the fire within me.
ROXANNE
I’m sorry, Johnny. I had no idea…
JOHNNY
It’s not your fault, Roxanne. But we need to talk about Mephistopheles.
ROXANNE
What about him?
JOHNNY
I think he’s up to something. He’s been pushing me to capture these escaped souls, but I don’t know what he’s planning to do with them.
ROXANNE
What do you mean?
JOHNNY
I don’t know. But I have a feeling that he’s not telling me the whole truth.
ROXANNE
(sighs) Johnny, I’m working with Mephistopheles.
JOHNNY
(eyes widen in shock) What? Why?
ROXANNE
He promised me a big story, Johnny. Something that would put my career on the map. I couldn’t resist.
JOHNNY
(angrily) How could you do this, Roxanne? How could you betray me like this?
ROXANNE
(tearfully) I’m sorry, Johnny. I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted to succeed.
JOHNNY
(sighs) I don’t know what to do, Roxanne. I feel so lost.
ROXANNE
(holds Johnny’s hand) I’m here for you, Johnny. We’ll figure this out together.
FADE OUT.

INT. MEPHISTOPHELES’ LAIR – NIGHT
Johnny and Roxanne confront Mephistopheles in his lair.
JOHNNY
(angrily)
“You’ve been using me all along.”
MEPHISTOPHELES
(amused)
“Of course. That was the deal you made, Johnny.”
ROXANNE
(defiantly)
“We’re here to stop you. Your reign of terror ends now.”
MEPHISTOPHELES
(smiling)
“You’re too late. My plans are already in motion.”
Suddenly, Blackheart appears behind them.
BLACKHEART
(smirking)
“Mephistopheles. You thought you could keep me locked up forever? I’m here to take what’s rightfully mine.”
MEPHISTOPHELES
(patronizingly)
“You’re no match for me, Blackheart.”
Johnny transforms into the Ghost Rider and prepares to fight Blackheart. Roxanne watches from the sidelines, conflicted.
ROXANNE
(to herself)
“I can’t let this happen. Johnny deserves to be free from this curse.”
Roxanne sneaks away and makes her way to Mephistopheles’ office. She starts searching for something and finally finds a contract.
ROXANNE
(to herself)
“This is it. The contract that binds Johnny’s soul to Mephistopheles.”
Meanwhile, the Ghost Rider and Blackheart are locked in a fierce battle. The Ghost Rider gains the upper hand and prepares to strike.
GHOST RIDER
(grimly)
“Your reign of terror ends here.”

(defeated)
“In that case, I’ll take you down with me.”

JOHNNY
(gratefully)
“Thank you, Roxanne. I couldn’t have done it without you.”
ROXANNE
(sadly)
“I had to. I couldn’t let you suffer anymore.”
MEPHISTOPHELES
(angered)
“You foolish humans. You don’t know what you’re doing.”
Suddenly, Blackheart gets up and strikes Mephistopheles, disappearing into his body and taking over. Johnny and Roxanne watch in horror as Blackheart transforms into a more powerful demon.
JOHNNY
(fearful)
“What have we done?”
The screen fades to black as evil laughter echoes in the background.
