On Wrongs Swift Vengeance Waits
Wrath, being the most feared of the seven, led the ceremony in the abandoned warehouse. The seven demons stood around Harold Jenkins and chanted while their followers stood in a circle around them. Harold was a criminal of the worst sort and had just finished killing a family of four when the demons grabbed him and offered him great power. They chanted along with their demon masters.

Wrath held the Medallion of Power and with it they would being a new Vengeance into the world. This one would serve them and their goals and hopefully distract the Ghost Rider and his companions. The city wasn't big enough for the demons and the Champions and New Orleans was the perfect city for them. Vegas was too showy and over the top for most their tastes.

The voice rose in volume until the ceremony reached it's climax. There was a bright burst of flame around Harold and when it died down Vengeance stood in place.

"Go," Wrath said. "Your job is just beginning. There is a city awaiting you. We have even provided you a motorcycle."

Vengeance nodded and climbed onto the waiting bike. The bike roared to life and Vengeance rode out of the warehouse.

The head with the flaming skull turns, slowly and deliberately, in Argo's direction. Vengeance did not know why a god wished to interfere in the affairs of mortals, but he would brook no such thing.

"This is not your fight, Son of Hercules. These beings of sin and iniquity must be pay penance for their transgressions. You would be wise not to champion them." he says.

	Argo shook his head. "Let is never be said that I was cursed with wisdom. Ever shall I champion the cause of mortals. If you wish to harm them... you shall have to go through me first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nick is at home, sleeping off a hangover. He finds himself startled awake, in a cold sweat. "What...?" his hands begin to shake, then the pentagram scars catch fire, his face soon following. Within a minute, drawn towards the site, the Rider is on his way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Fools, all! You can not stop vengeance any more than you can stop the rising and setting of the sun. Know that standing between me and those who must be punished warrants punishment in turn for yourselves.

Stand aside. I will not offer you another chance." Vengeance speaks, even as his head turns as though he hears something in the distance.

Here? Could /he/ truly be /here/ and allow such sin to thrive?

The chain around the man's neck began to squeeze.

	There's a burst of hellfire, as the Ghost Rider arrives on the scene, coming skidding to a halt before the others. "Hold." comes the grating voice. "There is a greater question here." he eyes Vengeance. "How did you get out of hell?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vengeance sees the Olympian coming and commands his chain to release the humans throat. He will not suffer being attacked by anyone in the carrying out of his duty.

The chain licks out toward Argo's ankle, attempting to drop him through the portal being created.

When Ghost Rider arrives, however, Vengeance's attention settles on the other rider from Hell.

"I was released to do the work of punishing sinners. A duty which you have been derelict in. How can you allow such evil and corruption to /fester/ before you with no answer?" Vengeance asks, clearly puzzled.

	"You're damned right this is a turf war. He shouldn't be here." the Rider responds, gunning the engine long enough to pull up to a foot or so in front of Vengeance. "He belongs in Hell, and he's going back there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harmony's actions, coupled with Irina's closing the portal, save Argo from what could have been any number of nasty collision. "Mine thanks," he said, as he got back to his feet. He cracked his knuckles again. "Let us show him the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I go where I choose, when I choose, Rider. None shall decide my course, save I. Your friends will know only pain should they interfere.

If you care anything for their welfare, keep them out of my path." Vengeance says, noting Irina's attack on his bike, which flatters the tire for only a moment, before Vengeance channels his energy and the tire is restored.

Then he guns the engine and attempts to speed away from them, into the city proper to find other sinners to punish.
