"Oh I don't know darling, what I offer can be sweet, delicious and addictive."

He said with a laugh. Admiral Fluffy Paws let out a groan and rolled his eyes. As soon as they came out of one portal he opened another and quickly took her hand jumping through it as the animals followed. They ended up just on the edge of the swamp. To most people it came off as creepy and perhaps slightly unsettling. But anyone who knew magic could feel the power emanating from the swamp. It was dark, dangerous and the veil was very thin. It wasn't uncommon to find demons roaming the swamp occasionally.

"The portal is weakest in the middle. It's entirely possible there's something else roaming there. So be careful. I'd rather not see you spread out over the swamp. It would be a waste of beauty."

'What's this about a missing kid? You should've led off with that.'

"What's that about a missing kid? I thought they caught the guy taking kids in Gotham. Something about a blue bird or some other such nonsense. I really need to read the news sites more."

He said as they began walking through the swamp. Sebastian drew his sword as they walked. Admiral Fluffy Paws jumped up onto Sebastian's shoulder to avoid the mud and everything else. He rolled his eyes and shook his head as he began looking around.

"Alright the portal should be somewhere near here. We'll go in get your little rock or whatever and get out. I hate this place."

He could sense the power getting stronger as they neared the center. He tried to ignore the roar off in the distance and sighed lightly.

"Well hopefully we can get to Hell before whatever that is shows up. I feel like that may be the best option right now, as opposed to dealing with....that."

He said motioning to the distance where the roar came from. Sebastian stopped and began to chant before throwing some Hellfire at the center and opening a portal.

"Come my dear Mistress Kaci. Let's go get a rock."

He said before jumping in, with Admiral Fluffy Paws hanging on tightly. When they landed the smell of brimstone was rather strong and the power was almost overwhelming.

There was a hum and a flicker as a portal materialized. The blonde man looked up from the kneeling position he was in. He'd been chained to the rock pillar a bit too long. He tilted his head from one side to the other and cracked his neck. His new jailers usually didn't show up by portal. Rarely anyone in this place did, except for when Lucifer himself needed a good laugh. Otherwise, the b*tch twins as he liked to call them, just wandered in whenever they felt like it.

Jack strained against the chains a little more. His hair was now long and unkept and his clothing was rather ragged. He'd had a good sized beard on him too these days. He really needed to get out of here. Maybe this was a chance. Or it could have just been one of his jailers screwing with him. That did happen about once or twice a week just to keep him on his toes. The Rider strained to be released and Jack tamped down his control on it.

The demonic Englishman watched as a man and a woman with a Cat and some kind of animal he'd never seen before came through the portal. It wasn't everyday that people randomly wandered through a portal to Hell. They must have been magic types. That was the only possible reason that anyone would wander through a portal into Hell. Probably here to save a lost love or something.

Jack nodded his head to them both. "Hello, on behalf of the local tourism bureau, let me be the first to say welcome to Hell. I'd get up, but I'm a little tied up at the moment. Not sure what you're here for, but I'd make it quick. The demonic little blonde and her redheaded sidekick are bound to come back here very soon and they're not exactly the nicest people I've ever met." He looked up at them. "I don't suppose you'd mind helping out with the chain situation here? No one really seems to care that I prefer silk ropes to chains."

Setting foot in the swamp set off all of Kaci's instincts to run. It was exactly what she expected and exactly why she had hoped to not set foot there. At all. The air itself felt heavy and made her skin crawl, like there was actually something actively touching her, whispering by, just above making contact with her actual person. She fought against every instinct she had to just leave, she was there for a purpose, and hopefully that purpose didn't involve her butchering Latin to send a demon back to where it came from. She never did get that whole thing down perfectly.

"Believe me...I won't be the thing spread out across the swamp. Usually it's whatever decides it wants to eat me that explodes like a slug when you put salt on it." Kaci shook out her wrist wearing the dragon bracelet, activating the gems in which she had stored some excess power. They would give a little more oomph to whatever spell she needed to sling into a demon's face.

When they started questioning about the missing child she was looking for, she sighed. Well we could have started with that, but who were we to know it would make any difference to you.

"Quiet, Bill. And no...it's...different. Look, I find people...and things, for a price. I'm pretty good at it. This kid...he's not 'missing' exactly. At least I don't think so. Custody battles and the like are nasty. But him and dad up and disappeared one day and mom only wants her son back so that's who I'm looking for."

So you think. But it's still similar to another-

"Yeah we're not talking about that right now. Or ever. So just shut it." Kaci followed after Sebastian, trying to ignore the shiver that went down her spine as the roar rumbled through the swamp from somewhere. Kaci could only just nod in agreement that dealing with whatever that was would not be fun and she would rather not like to deal with it. Ever. She watched as he opened the portal, jumping in after him and grimacing at the smell and trying to remain steady on her feet as she basically ran smack into what felt like a wall of power. So this was Hell. She didn't feel like building a summer home there, but it didn't seem as absolutely terrifying as she thought. However, this was only a small piece of it, and there wasn't much to look at. Except, of course, a man all chained up in the middle of nowhere.

It was...unusual, at least to her. But having never been to hell before, she wouldn't know what normal was down here. For that, she'd refer to her own personal tour guide. But, it was strange. He wasn't exactly a horrible human being, (ok calling him human was being generous what with that demon hitchhiker he had), so why was he down here? For the same reason she didn't incinerate, or at least try to incinerate Sebastian, she could see the accented blonde man didn't have evil intentions. Bad? Sure. Just not towards them.

"Depends...What do we get if we do?"

Kaci, you're not seriously considering letting him free, are you?

"I dunno...only came here for a rock. could just sheer off a chuck of the one he's tied to." She looked at Sebastian and lowered her voice. "He's a weird one...Don't demons normally roam free in hell? Why's one tethered to him?"

"There's some fire in you isn't there? I like it."

He said with a smirk. Admiral Fluffy Paws meanwhile rolled his eyes and moved closer to Kaci. He was used to watching Sebastian hit on women, if anything it was practically just white noise to him now. That being said, when he did pay attention it was usually the same ol' same ol'. Trying to get them into bed. He had no intentions of a real relationship, something he never truly understood. Of course it seemed like Sebastian was mostly pushing people away. Admiral Fluffy Paws tried helping him but it rarely worked out. He was good at shutting down.

"Ah, a kidnapped sort of kid. But still you should have lead with that. I may be a blood sucking vampire incubus hybrid who was trained from birth to kill and conquer Hell, but I actually have a lot of morals."

'That much is true. Even the Prince doesn't go after children.'

Sebastian simply glanced down and shrugged. It was true, he wasn't that cruel as he sometimes pretended to be. He liked to act as though he were dark and cruel and mean. The problem was, no one actually believed that. Well no one aside from Andrew and Celeste.

Upon landing in Hell Sebastian wasn't nearly as surprised as Kaci seemed to be at seeing someone locked up. He'd only been to Hell a time or two but so far nothing seemed different. The smell was nothing, he threw Hellfire around all the time, he was used to it. However without any visible guards and near a portal was odd, he'd admit that.

"SOme demons roam. But he's not 100% demon. Plus it depends on which realm we're in and which realm this one calls home."

'Leave him, get her rock and go.'

"That is tempting. Do me a favor, take my darling Mistress here and go find whatever rock she wants."

He said before crouching down in front of Jack and holding his sword. He examined the blade as he looked over to Jack. He was careful not to use Kaci or Admiral's real name. He didn't want anyone nearby hearing their real names. Names were power and having it was serious. The second they did it would be all over. Given his ties to the two of them that wasn't an option. Power over them meant power over him.

"I don't know your name or why you're chained up. But anyone Hell wants to lock away is someone that would prove useful to have on my side."

He said before standing up and walking around him. He poked and tapped the chains as he moved. He could break them. But it'd take time and power.

"Breaking these won't be easy, so I propose a deal. A blood pact. Basically I get a sample of your blood and you'll owe me a favor, to be named later on. I call, say a few fancy words, you show up and when the thing is finished you'll be free to do....whatever it is you do. Sound like a deal?"

Meanwhile Admiral Fluffy Paws had been trying to lead Kaci away. He didn't know what Sebastian had planned and didn't want to know. Sometimes the less he knew the happier he was.

"You two realize you have a talking hedgehog and a talking cat with you, correct? Asking, mostly because I've been here awhile and I want to make sure you see them too."

Jack was confused by the presence of a human and whatever it was that he could sense the male was. He could probably use them to escape though. That was the most important thing to take away from this little venture. The girl asked Jack what she'd get out of the deal. That was good she wanted to negotiate. He had to admit that the talking animals were an interesting factor.

He looked to the cat and the hedgehog. "You two are judging someone you've never even met. That's not polite or even nice. I even greeted you. I made some mistakes."

He followed the conversation and shrugged. "Well, I won't bore you with the 'I'm innocent' things. I'm not. I made some shitty choices to save a woman. Sold my soul to help someone I cared about and shock, gasp, now I'm stuck in here with a hitchhiker."

The man tried to convince his cat like thing to take his girlfriend and take her away from him. That made sense. He was trying to protect his... mistress. That explained a lot of interesting things. Jack raised an eyebrow at the mention of a blood pact. That bothered him. He didn't really make a habit of giving out his blood. That lead to some pretty horrible things, especially for someone tied to an engine of vengeance. But then again... It wasn't like he had many other options to escape Hell. And his guards weren't letting him out anytime soon.

"Listen, mate... I'm not really a fan of giving out my bodily fluids if I don't have to. My passenger here makes me rather hesitant to give out things that can be used to control me. I don't like giving anyone keys to a magical nuclear warhead. How about I offer an alternative? I'll make an oath of power to owe you both a favor if you get me out. I'll fulfill the favor regardless of the request. And if I break my word, it will cause me injury on a spiritual level. It's not pleasant and can be down right fatal sometimes."

"Well I wasn't going to lead with my line of work. I don' know you, and my business is my own. But I suppose it's nice to know the Prince of Hell is such an upstanding gentleman." Kaci shrugged off the flirtations, figuring it was just second nature to him at that point. He was what he was after all. And she didn't really need to feel more tied to him than she already was. She'd cut out everyone else from her life, why start letting people in now? It always led to something painful. So she kept everyone at arms length. Unless of course they were useful to her.

"Yeah...we see them too. Don't think you're on any sort of acid trip." Kaci looked at the guy chained to the rock in disbelief. Not many people could understand Bill. It made her curious to say the least, to know what his deal was. After hearing the age old tale of "I sold my soul", Kaci rolled her eyes. There was, of course, a million cautionary tales out there that said why that was a bad idea, but there was always a sucker out there willing to make a deal. She was not one of them.

"Yeah, c'mon Mr. Whiskers, let's go look. The quicker we get this over with, the quicker we can get the hell out of...well...hell." Kaci followed after the feline, looking back every so often at Sebastian and their new acquaintance.

Kaci, you're seriously gonna leave him there?

"And be responsible for letting something out that I probably shouldn't have if I did cut him loose? Yeah, I'm gonna leave him there. He signed on the dotted line. Who knows what I'd piss off if he got out." She felt marginally sorry for the poor sap but she wasn't going to let him out. If Sebastian wanted to, that was his prerogative. She stuck to the "Cave of Wonders" rule about Hell: Don't. Touch. Anything.

As Admiral Fluffy paws walked away with Bill and Kaci he looked up at her. He didn't like leaving Sebastian alone with that man but also knew it may be for the best in the long run. Sebastian would need allies from Hell and having someone they want locked up on his side would just prove useful.

'It is Admiral Fluffy Paws, not Mr. Whiskers, that is your one warning. I address you by your full name Kaci so I ask you do the same. Also you should be aware that Sebastian is looking at your ass as you walk away. He's a simple man but he has his uses....I assume.'

AFP said with a laugh. He didn't like being back in Hell but knew it was only a matter of time. When you're tied to the Prince of Hell it was bound to happen eventually. Especially when Hell seems to want him back.

'I wouldn't worry about Sebastian, he'll be just fine, probably. At least if he dies he won't have far to go, so there's that.'

Meanwhile Sebastian heard Jack's offer and turned back to face him. He tapped his chin as he thought about it, not terrible, but not ideal. However he knew having this guy on his side was for the best. When fighting Hell it only made sense to side with someone who was hated by Hell as well. If they saw fit to chain him up like this, he had to be useful.

"Hmm, seems acceptable. So go ahead and swear your oath to me and I can get you out of here."

He said drawing his sword and crossing his arms. He began to walk around him, examining the chains. They were tough ones, top of the line with very little in the way of weaknesses. But he knew he could break them. He just wanted to make sure Jack swore an oath to him first, payment upon services rendered and all that.

His odds were pretty lousy at the moment. Though Constantine was not thrilled with the idea of swearing the oath, he was less thrilled about letting those two sociopathic tarts have their way with him again. It helped that he was already dead, but he was getting tired of being used for their amusement, which was something that he had not expected to ever come out of his mind. The half human looked up at the Prince of Hell.

"Fine. I don't really have much choice, anyway. I swear upon my power to fulfill one favor for each of you should you set me free. I do this knowing that if I break my word, I will suffer the penalties of all oath breakers."

He waited until the vampire broke the chains and then he stood up quickly, before falling down in a heap. It had been awhile since Jack had stood upright and his body was showing it. His legs were somewhat asleep. He cursed and shook each leg, letting the feeling of pins and needles prickle away. "Admittedly, it's been awhile since I've managed to get up. One moment."

The Englishman stumbled to his feet and looked around. "Alright, mate. I need some help. You haven't seen a motorbike around here anywhere, have you? I'm going to need that before I leave." He looked slightly concerned, but then remembered that it hadn't come with him. He'd been killed and come to Hell the hard way. "Never mind. I've got this."

A shrill whistle came from his lips and a few moments later a bike with flaming wheels came racing through the portal and stopped next to him. Jack smiled and put his hand on the bike. It revved loudly. "I missed you too, baby." He looked back at Sebastian. "Your girlfriend needs a rock. Most people would have gone to the jewelry store. How long is this going to take? Because I'm going to tell you now that some people probably know I'm free now."

"I'd prefer to get out of here without trouble." Jack rummaged through his gear, looking it over and then he grabbed a sawed-off shotgun out of the saddle bag. He took a deep breath and stepped away from Sebastian, mumbling about hating this part. The smell of flames and brimstone filled his nose, followed by the sensation of burning coming from inside. Then his body felt like it was on fire, and suddenly, it was. Jack Constantine disappeared and in his place stood the Ghost Rider, burning with blue flames. This form would increase his odds of escape, not to mention that the power of the Rider would allow him to cross back into the land of the living again.

Rolling her eyes, Kaci sighed at the talking cat and kept looking around for something sizable enough to pick up. She let the cat talk, mostly tuning him out as she looked around, briefly looking back at Sebastian after it was mentioned he was looking at her ass. While she knew it was most likely in his nature to do such things, she still shook her head.

"As you wish Admiral, I simply like avoiding name usage in unfriendly territory. Never know who's listening or if you're really alone." Kaci bent down to look a few measly pebbles, frowning at each of them. She would have liked something the size of her fist, because she wasn't sure when she'd ever be able to get it again. But everything was like gravel; small, annoying, and usually made it's way into your shoe.

Kaci, one of those would be fine. Just grab a couple and we can leave.

Kaci twitched her lips in contemplation, looking back to the big rock Jack was chained to. She could, conceivably take a piece out of that, but she wasn't sure how well her magic would work down here. She watched Sebastian set him free and then fell on her ass in surprise the moment the bike came riding through the portal

"Madre de dios," Kaci mumbled, trying to convince herself there were lots of things that rode flaming bikes, that this wasn't that particular one. Of course, all of that hope went up in flames the moment Jack's head turned into a flaming skull.

"Gilipollas!" she shouted as she stood up, reverting unconsciously to her mother's tongue. "Sabes lo que acabas de hacer?! Es El Vengador!"

Kaci, grab rock now, swear later. I'm sure with him free we won't be alone for long.

Kaci scooped up the pebbles and put them in her pocket. Then she quickly walked back over, muttering to herself an reading a spell, environment be damned. It would work or it wouldn't, they really didn't have time do debate anymore. She'd heard stories of Ghost Rider from others in the magical community, none of them very nice. But, she supposed being the spirit of vengeance didn't afford you much niceness. Still, she had hoped to go her whole life not running into him. As usually, her wishes were useless and now she found herself trying to get out of hell with the Rider. She should have known right away, right from the first look who he was, but she didn't and she was kicking herself for it.

Her hand started to glow as she got closer to the rest of her little rag tag group. "I don't really feel like arguing about what you just did, all I know is that we need to leave. Now. At a very fast pace." She put her hand on the rock Jack had been chained to and sunk her fingers into the hard rock like she was ripping off a piece of play-doh and put it in her bag. Then she started making her way to the portal they had come through. Quickly.

"Not a terrible thing really. But people learning your name is the least of your concerns when roaming an unknown realm of Hell. Hell the rules of physics as you know them only apply to about three realms."

He said as he walked with her. He was mildly concerned leaving Sebastian alone with a prisoner of Hell. But of all the trouble he could get into releasing a prisoner is minor. Especially since he usually needed all the allies he could get.

"He's right Sorceress. The larger the piece of Hell the more can go wrong as well. Everything down here is imbued with dark mystical energy. Which means it can make you noticeable, speaking as someone who tries to go under Hell's radar, a large rock is not the wisest choice."

Admiral had opted for her desire to go with no names. He didn't agree, but that was all her it seemed. Meanwhile Sebastian cut himself and began to drip blood on the chains. When you were concerned about Hell taking you prisoner, you learned how to break their chains. He began to chant in Ancient Greek and soon enough the chains began to sizzle before snapping one by one.

"I can safely say I haven't seen a motorcycle around. I feel like I would notice that in this place."

Soon enough the motorcycle came and he transformed. A large smile came to his lips. He had chosen the perfect ally from Hell. Someone Hell hated as much as him, if not more. Everyone knew controlling the Ghostrider was like herding cats. But he would do for a decent ally.

"What have we done? I just freed someone Hell is terrified of getting free."

"He's chosen a side in the ongoing war that is Hell."

"Yeah, mine. C'mon Rider, the portal's this way. It'll put us in Slaughter Swamp, but it could be worse, we could be in Hub City, or Green Lantern's room. Place is a damn mess. Don't worry Mistress, I said I'd get you out of here and I will."

He said heading for the portal he'd opened that wasn't terribly far from where Ghostrider had been imprisoned.

The Rider popped his neck and looked around. He could sense the guards returning. That mad little blonde woman and the crazy red-head. And something bigger. Something much bigger, moving much faster. This was moving faster than he'd expected. Jack looked down at the chains that Sebastian burned through. Warded. Just like he thought. Leave it to those two tarts and their boss. He listened to the Cat, the hedgehog, the babe and the Incubus speak for a minute and then looked around.

His sawed off shotgun was still on the bike. He pulled it off and imbued it with Hellfire. He'd been dead long enough that the imbuement wore off. Now it was recharged. "The Hedgehog's right." Jack looked down to Bill. "I'll ask your name later, sir. When we're not..." The flaming skeleton waved around to the surroundings. "There's something big coming. Not to mention those two tarts. And no one's going to be happy if they get here. You'd be better off with the demon."

"I have chosen anyone's side. Let's get that straight. I owe you two a favor. I'm my own side. I'm not even likely to stick around unless this one's going to show off some of the goods." The Rider waved again. "No offense, love. I'm just trying to illustrate a point."

Slaughter Swamp. Hub City. Lovely places. He didn't know who Green Lantern was, but clearly his room was a horrible place unto itself. Jack turned around in time to see a demon come around the corner. It was about 12 feet tall and had spikes coming out of everything.

"Oh, Bollocks." He looked at the two and moved his skull in the direction of the portal. "Let's get the f*ck out of here. That thing looks hungry. You two, on the bike now. Along with your familiars." He fired the shotgun's hellfire blasts at the demon. They didn't seem to hit it so much as anger it. "Huh. Usually works a little better than that." The demon's fist slammed into Jack's midsections and his flaming skull vibrated as his teeth snapped together painfully. Another blow and Ghost Rider was sailing through the portal into the swamp.

He sat up in the water and looked at the thing following through. "Oh, sod me. This is just one of those days."

It appeared they really didn't have time to argue about the size of the rock she was taking, but she made a note to turn the big hunk into pebbles and maybe sell a few later, make it someone elses problem and she'd walk away with cash or goods. She pulled Bill out of her hoodie and put him in her pocket so he wouldn't bounce out as they began to run. She could feel him preening through their connection at being called sir by their new "friend" and she was having less than none of it right at the moment.

"I did not ask to get into the middle of a war either, but what the hell, it's only Tuesday. I'm sure there will be some big to do on Friday. We'll all have to figure out where we fit in the grand scheme of things."

Technically it's-

"Shut up, Bill." Kaci had started making her way back to the portal, feeling the something big coming that Jack had mentioned. She didn't really want to fight anything in here, she had a tenuous connection at best to the outside world and she had literally no idea what would happen if and when that was severed. So she'd much rather go back to the swamp. She had taken exactly one step toward the Rider's bike as he had suggested when he went flying back through the portal ahead of them.

"Nope! I didn't sign up for this today. C'mon, it's time for us to leave now. I got what I wanted, and we've overstayed our welcome." Kaci ran, grabbing Sebastian's hand, feeling her connection to her power get stronger the closer to the portal they got. Part of her wanted to bolt, it wasn't her fight, she was not prepared to deal with a massive demon today. But another part...

Kaci...you can't let that thing run loose, you know that.

"Ugh, what are you, my conscience? Fine!" As soon as she and Sebastian were back in the swamp, she let go of his arm and ran around to the demon's side, hucking a green, sticky fireball at it's head. It turned away from Jack to look at her, more than mildly annoyed.

"C'mon ugly, what are ya gonna do about it, huh?" She'd managed to piss it off, which was both horrifying and exactly what she wanted. But now that she had it's attention, she had no idea what to do. She wasn't used to dealing with something that big and deadly. She was flying by the seat of her pants. It moved a lot faster than she had anticipated also, swinging it's big fist straight down at her in an arc. She didn't have time to move, she just screwed her eyes shut and the fist dropped down right where she was standing with a deafening thud.

Kaci cracked one eye open, and then the other, looking around to see where she'd ended up. Right behind Sebastian. She did a quick mental check of everything, even for Bill and let out a small, relieved sigh. "I have never tried that on anything living before."

And let's never, ever, ever try it again.

Sebastian shrugged at Ghostrider's comment about not choosing a side. He agreed with that. The problem was, in Hell there were so many different sides everyone was on a side, mostly unknowingly. Hell even most of the Titans didn't know they'd taken a side just by talking to him. Of course Sebastian would never mention it. That they had now chosen a side against Satan, Trigon and thanks to Lilith, Lucifer as well. He drew his sword and took Kaci's hand and started to run as Admiral Fluffy Paws jumped on his shoulder.

'I never liked motorcycles....'

The Rider went flying through the portal and Sebastian shrugged.

"Well it all seems to work out then."

He created a portal for the four of them to get them closer to the Swamp portal. With three, and potentially more, coming after them. He jumped through the portal with Kaci and as she threw fireballs to distract the demon Sebastian grabbed Admiral.

"You know what it's time for...."

He was about to continue when he saw the demon try and slam his fist down on her. But before he could jump in or try a spell she was behind him.

"Don't do that Mistress. If this bond gets broken by one of us dying, the other one is gonna hurt too. Now keep demon Doomsday busy while I show you what a real Familiar transformation looks like."

Cutting his hand he drew a symbol on Admiral Fluffy Paws' head before chanting.

"Ashes gu luaithre, duslach ri duslach. Awaken a 'bhiast a tha sinn uile ag iarraidh a' chòrr."

With the spell cast he threw Admiral down. He let out a 'meow' before it turned into a roar and he transformed. He rushed at the demon and jumped into the air sending a shot of hellfire breath at the demon before jumping on it.

"Beats the hell out of a unicorn huh? We get through this I might teach you a few things mistress."

He said with a wink. He sliced his wrist and threw his arm, spreading blood all over the demon as he chanted. The blood would turn any muscle it covered to stone. Problem was, he'd never tried it on a demon before. Really just a few humans and a couple metas.

"Hey Rider, I know they're no chains but will vines do?"

He asked slicing about 15 feet of vines off a tree and preparing to throw it to Rider if he agreed.

The Ghost Rider got up and looked around. The demon had followed them through, but his bike and his new allies had made it as well. That was good. The shotgun wasn't cutting it. It wasn't powerful enough to damage a demon of this kind of magnitude. The demon was powerful and Jack didn't think that brute force would do it, but he had to get a little space between them and it.

The Rider ran up to the demon and punched him back with two fists, channeling the massive powers of the Ghost Rider through the fists. The demon stumbled back a few steps. Jack knew they wouldn't get him into the portal. The portal... No. He turned to Kaci and screamed "Close it before you let anything else out. There are worse things down there." He couldn't let anything get back to Earth.

Jack accepted the vines from Sebastian. He looked at them and was certain he'd never tried anything like this before he was dead. Ghost Rider channeled hellfire into the vines. The vines transformed as the hellfire took them over. They became as strong as steel and thorns emerged from them. The flaming skull visage grinned at Sebastian. Then the vines shot into the water and into the Earth.

"Wait for it. Wait for it..." The demon came moving towards Jack again. The Rider touched his hand to the ground. "Up yours, mate"

The vines burst from the Earth, more of them this time, wrapping their thorny surfaces around the demon and binding it. More and more vines wrapped around its demonic limbs. The Ghost Rider looked to Sebastian and gestured with his hand as if to say "Knock yourself out."
