Richard Rawlings (The Invicible Hero) Chapter 25:- Richard Vs Scarlett
Scarlett's heart pounded in her chest as she stepped into the chamber.She had known Richard so intimately, once upon a time. But that was a lifetime ago when she naively fell in love with Richard.She had just escaped from the SSP with her father, leaving her sister behind. Baldur offered her father the power of immortality if he joined him.Scarlett’s father, mesmerized by the promise of eternal life, accepted Baldur’s offer. In return, he sacrificed Intel on SSP to the Skullers, offering the lives of Soldiers as a price for his immortality. Scarlett on the other hand, sacrificed her love for Richard. To prove her loyalty, Scarlett had been tasked with betraying Richard. It was a difficult choice but her love for power overpowered any love she had for Richard.She infiltrated Richard's life, using her charm and beauty to lure him into a web of lies. She knew he trusted her implicitly, and she used that trust against him, stealing information from his ship and his comrades, all wh
Richard Rawlings (The Invicible Hero) Chapter 26:- Nobody leaves
"Mia," she whispered, her voice shaking with emotion. "It can't be. She's dead." With a swift motion, Richard retrieved the small knife he had managed to conceal on his person. He began to cut through the ropes that bound his wrists, the blade slicing through the fibers with a soft ripping sound. As the ropes fell away, Richard's hands were finally free. Richard moved like a panther, silent and swift, circling behind Scarlett. Before she could react, he pressed the sharp blade of the dagger against her throat, the cool metal digging into her skin. Scarlett froze, her body rigid as she felt the cold steel against her flesh. She could feel Richard's breath on her neck, his body close enough that she could feel the heat of him. She tried to speak, but her voice caught in her throat as Richard's grip tightened, his hand holding the knife in place. Richard's voice was like ice, his words cold and threatening. "You may think you're invincible, Scarlett, but I would advise you to th
Richard Rawlings (The Invicible Hero) Chapter 27:- The Mission
With every passing second, the vessel sank deeper into the inky depths of the ocean, the pressure increasing until it felt like the weight of the world was pressing down on the crew's shoulders.Richard stood frozen in place, his heart pounding in his chest as he watched the chaos unfold.As the water enveloped him, Richard's initial panic gave way to a strange sense of calm. He felt his lungs expand, and to his amazement, he began to breathe in the water as easily as air! The sensation was both thrilling and terrifying, like discovering a hidden superpower.With each inhalation, Richard felt his body adapt, his lungs extracting oxygen from the water with efficiency. He gazed around in wonder, the darkness illuminated by a soft, ethereal glow emanating from the submarine's instruments.Richard knew he had but a limited time before the submarine self-destructive system had its final course.Richard's powerful strokes propelled him through the water, his body slicing through the waves

Richard broke through the surface of the ocean, taking in a deep breath of the salty air, even though he didn’t need to. The water slid off his skin as if it had never clung to him in the first place. His eyes quickly found the small boat, and standing at the edge was Mia, her face tight with concern."Richard!" she called out, reaching out to him.Without a word, he grabbed her hand, allowing her to help him onto the boat. As he stepped on deck, he glanced at Mia's furrowed brow as she quickly wrapped a blanket around his shoulders.“You’re freezing,” she said, her voice a mixture of worry and relief.Richard didn’t correct her. She didn’t know about his true nature—how the ocean was his realm and how cold was just another sensation he ignored. Instead, he played along, letting her fuss over him as she always did.He looked around the boat, a frown forming. “Where are the others? The refugees?”“I took them to the shore,” Mia said, her gaze drifting toward the distant land. “But... I

The truck rattled along the crumbling road as they drove through the outskirts of the city. Abandoned houses lined the streets, their windows shattered, and once busy storefronts now stood burnt and hollow, remnants of a world that no longer existed. The only sounds were the hum of the engine and the wind that whipped through the broken buildings.Mia kept her eyes on the road, but her mind was restless, questions swirling in her head. She glanced at Richard, his face set in a tense silence, as if he were listening for something just beyond the edge of hearing.“Richard,” she asked, breaking the quiet, “why do you think the SSP wanted us to find you?”Richard glanced at her, his brow furrowing. He shook his head. “No idea,” he replied, his voice low and distracted.He looked out the window, taking in the desolate cityscape as they drove past. The streets were eerily empty, as if the entire population had vanished overnight. Burnt-out vehicles and debris cluttered the roads, making the

The moment the gun fired, everything seemed to slow. Richard’s senses sharpened, and just as the bullet shot toward him, time stopped. The world around him froze in place, the sound of the gunshot still echoing in the back of his mind. The bullet hung in the air, mere inches from his forehead, motionless in the stillness of the moment.Richard exhaled slowly, stepping toward the bullet. He studied it for a brief second, then reached out with his hand and gently pushed it aside. The bullet, frozen in time, drifted harmlessly out of his path, inches away from the impact it was meant to cause.He turned toward the truck, where Mia was frozen in place, the blade still at her throat, her eyes wide with fear. The man holding her was locked in a cruel grin, his body frozen mid-action.Richard walked calmly to the truck, his mind focused and clear. There was no rush, time was at a standstill, and in this moment, he had complete control.He began by reaching for Mia. Gently, he pulled her out

Richard turned to leave, but Mia stepped in front of him, her expression hard, one hand on her waist and the other pressed firmly against his chest, stopping him in his tracks.“We’re not going anywhere,” she said, her voice low but firm. “Not until you explain what just happened to me.”Richard froze, trying to keep his face neutral. “What do you mean? They're all dead,” he replied, feigning innocence as he attempted to brush past her. “We were attacked, I handled it.”But Mia didn’t budge. “Yeah, they're dead, but how did we go from being attacked to becoming the attacker in the blink of an eye?” Her eyes were sharp, filled with both confusion and suspicion. “One second, a gun was fired, and the next... they were all dead. And I didn’t even see you move.”Richard’s jaw tightened. He could feel the weight of her gaze, the demand for answers hanging heavily in the air. He had always known this moment would come, that eventually, Mia would ask questions. He had just hoped it wouldn’t b
Richard Rawlings (The Invicible Hero) Chapter 32
Before the first group could make a move on Mia, heavy footsteps echoed down the hallway. A second group of men emerged from the shadows, their eyes gleaming with hunger. These newcomers, five in total, were larger, meaner-looking, their clothes stained with blood from their last meal.“Well, well,” the leader of the second group sneered, his lips curling into a twisted smile. “What do we have here? Haven’t seen meat this pretty in a long time.”The first group bristled, their hands tightening around their makeshift weapons. The man who had struck Mia with the wood stepped forward, his eyes narrowing. “We got to her first,” he growled, glancing over at Mia’s unconscious body. “You should leave.”The second group exchanged glances, smirking. “You think you can claim her for yourselves?” the leader asked, his voice mocking. “This is an apocalypse, not a restaurant. It’s survival of the fittest, and we’re the ones who’ll be eating tonight.”Tension crackled in the air as the two groups s

Sophia shivered. “Is it just me, or is the water colder?”Richard glanced around, his senses on high alert. “Keep moving. Stay calm.”Addams gave a nervous chuckle, trying to mask his growing fear. “Sure, because calm is exactly what I feel right now.”The serpent’s head rose just below the surface, close enough that its outline could be seen if anyone dared to look down. But it remained hidden, trailing them silently.Medusa suddenly stopped, her body tense. “Did you hear that?”Richard paused. “Hear what?”Medusa shook her head. “Maybe nothing…but it felt like something moved beneath us.”Addams’ face paled. “You mean, like a fish? A really big, man-eating fish?”Sophia tried to stay composed. “Let’s not jump to conclusions.”The giant monkey suddenly halted, sniffing the air again. Its low growl rumbled through the water. “Something is here,” it muttered, loud enough for only Richard and Medusa to understand.Richard’s heart raced, but he forced a calm expression. “Keep going,” he

As they began their trek through the thick underbrush, Richard slowed his pace to walk beside Medusa. “There’s something waiting for you when we leave this forest.”Medusa raised an eyebrow. “A surprise? You’re not exactly the surprising type.”Richard’s lips twitched into a rare smile. “It’s not what you think. But you’ll see.”Medusa studied him for a moment. “Do you know about the dragons?”His expression darkened. “Dragons? No. Why do you ask?”“Just a hunch,” Medusa replied, her voice laced with suspicion.Behind them, Addams sidled up to Sophia, his face unusually serious. “I had a dream last night,” he muttered.Sophia glanced at him. “A dream?”“More like a nightmare. We all died in this forest. Every single one of us.”Sophia frowned, brushing off the chill that ran down her spine. “You’re always so negative. It was just a dream.”Addams gave her a look. “Yeah? Let’s hope you’re right.”Suddenly, the giant monkey halted, its massive body going rigid. It sniffed the air, eye

"Do you think Richard will be okay?" Sophia asked, glancing at Medusa."I'm optimistic he will," Medusa replied calmly."Come off it, ladies. Richard's not coming back, and we're screwed in this cursed forest," Addams cut in.Sophia shot Addams a glare. "You're always so negative, aren't you? Richard will come back," she said firmly, though her voice trembled slightly.Medusa remained calm, folding her arms. "Addams, your pessimism is exhausting. Richard has faced worse than this."Addams scoffed, kicking a loose branch. "You know I'm right."Sophia clenched her fists. "If you’ve given up, feel free to leave. But stop dragging the rest of us down."Medusa smirked. "He won’t leave. He’s too scared to wander off on his own.""I would, if that giant gorilla decides to come with me," Addams countered with a smirk.Sophia rolled her eyes. "Ignore him. Medusa, how do we get out of this forest?"Medusa leaned against a tree, her expression calm but weary. "We've been trying for days, and it'

Planet GethenOn Planet Gethen, the beasts arrived at the throne room, seeking an audience with their King. The King of Gethen, seated on his iron throne, watched them carefully. Beside him stood the Berserker beast, a fierce warrior dressed in heavy armor.One of the beasts stepped forward, bowing its head. "We come on behalf of the Ghost Rider. He seeks an alliance."The King's eyes narrowed, "Why would a Ghost Rider seek my aid?""The aliens have invaded Earth," the beast replied. "He believes only an alliance with the Berserkers can stop them."The colonel crossed his arms, "Why should Gethen concern itself with Earth's war?"The beast raised its head. "If the aliens conquer Earth, they will not stop there. Gethen could be next. The Ghost Rider offers a pact: fight together, or risk standing alone."The King leaned back, a smirk curling his lips. "And what does Earth have to offer us? Nothing but weakness. Tell him his offer is rejected."The colonel add

"Very well, Ghost Rider. I have three questions for you." The dragon growled."Answer them correctly, and I'll bond with you. Answer wrong, and you'll be reduced to ash." The dragon halted, its golden eyes fixed on Richard.Richard took a deep breath and steadied himself, meeting the dragon's gaze. "Go on," he said.The dragon’s voice was low and ominous. "I am the whisper in the wind, the shadow on the wall, the echo of a distant call, yet I am not sound at all. What am I?"Richard furrowed his brow, thinking carefully about the riddle. The dragon's golden eyes never left him, and the air around them felt heavy with the pressure of the moment.His mind raced, but he forced himself to focus. He thought for a moment before speaking, his voice steady. "Silence," he said. The dragon's fiery eyes glinted, a hint of approval in its gaze. "Correct," it rumbled, its massive form shifting slightly. "One down. Two to go."Richard let out a breath of relief but stayed focused, knowing he still

“Why do I feel like this is a terrible idea, coming here?” Richard muttered, his voice barely audible over the oppressive silence. He glanced around, weighing his options, thoughts of retreat flickering in his mind.But before he could take another step, a voice echoed through the cavern—deep, guttural, and inhuman.“I can smell your blood... Baldur.”A chilling fear raced down Richard’s spine as the booming voice reverberated through the cave. His breath hitched, and his heart pounded in his chest.“It’s been so long since a Ghost Rider dared to seek me out,” the voice continued, dripping with malevolent amusement. “I almost forgot how delicious they taste.”The ground beneath Richard's feet trembled as the heavy, deliberate footsteps of the dragon echoed through the cavern, each one shaking the cave like distant thunder. The heat intensified, and the air thickened with the scent of sulfur.Richard swallowed hard, the realization sinking in: he was face-to-face with the black queen.

As they continued deeper into the cave, the darkness became suffocating, consuming every hint of light until there was nothing but the flickering glow of Richard’s lightning illuminating their path."So," Doris broke the silence, her voice echoing softly against the cavern walls, "apart from controlling lightning, what other powers do you have?"Richard glanced at her, the soft crackle of electricity sparking from his fingertips. "I can stop time," he answered simply.Doris raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "Stopping time is cool."He smirked. "It has its perks. But what about you? Speed can’t be your only ability."A mischievous grin spread across Doris’s face. "I can stop people’s hearts. Kill them without laying a single finger on them."Richard stopped in his tracks for a second, impressed and unnerved. "That’s… intense," he admitted. "I guess that’s how you handled those aliens earlier."Doris nodded, her smile lingering. "It gets the job done.""And Medusa?" Richard asked, g

Doris flipped between the aliens and the chained baby dragon, her movements fluid and precise. Richard stayed back, watching with cautious eyes."Eliminate the foreign threat," one of the aliens commanded in a cold, mechanical tone.There were twenty of them in total, all heavily armed. The baby dragon struggled weakly against its chains, pushed forward by a machine.The aliens opened fire, but Doris moved with lightning speed, dodging every shot. She was a blur, too fast for their weapons to track.Richard’s eyes widened as he took in the scene. "She’s a speedster," he muttered to himself. "That’s her superpower."Doris twisted in midair, landing gracefully behind an alien and knocking it into the others with a single, powerful kick. She glanced back at Richard, a smirk playing on her lips. "Still just watching? Thought you might be useful."Richard clenched his jaw, frustration flickering in his eyes. "I thought you wanted me to sit this one out."Doris laughed softly. "Changed my m

The dragon stood towering over them, its massive wings unfurling with a powerful gust that sent dust and ashes swirling around Richard and the ghost rider. Its glowing blue eyes locked onto Richard, and for a moment, he was certain this was the end. The dragon's mouth opened wide, its jagged teeth glistening, and Richard braced himself for the inevitable burst of flames.But instead of fire, a deafening roar erupted, shaking the very walls of the cave. The sound echoed like thunder, reverberating through Richard's chest, leaving him momentarily stunned. He felt the raw power of the beast's fury.As the echoes faded, the dragon lowered its head slightly, exhaling a deep rumble, and then, to Richard’s surprise, it turned away. The massive creature walked slowly toward the back of the cave, each step shaking the ground, before settling down into its hide, curling its wings around itself like a protective shield.Richard let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding, his heart still
