Richard Rawlings (The Invicible Hero) Chapter 56
Addams yawned lazily, covering his mouth with one hand as though he were bored with the whole situation. He gave a slow nod, eyes half-lidded as if barely impressed. "This is scary, mehn," he drawled, an ironic lilt in his tone. "Our honorable president—the fearless leader of a secret organization." Richard’s interest piqued, his gaze fixed on Sophia with a mix of curiosity and empathy. “It must have been hard for you,” he said quietly, “knowing your father was involved in these things.”Sophia met his gaze, a faint smile playing on her lips. "No, it wasn’t," she replied, her voice softer. "He's not really my father. He's my adopted father."Richard's brow furrowed. He cast a quick glance at Addams, who was already sound asleep, snoring loudly as he reclined in his seat, oblivious to their conversation.“Do you know who your true parents are?” Richard asked, his voice barely above a whisper, as though afraid to break the moment’s fragile tension.Sophia chuckled, the sound laced wit

"Bad dream?" Sophia asked softly, noting the shadows of dread lingering on Richard's face as he sat up.He shook his head, forcing a casual tone. "Nothing much. Just the usual nightmares." He glanced around, brow furrowing. "Where’s Addams?"Sophia shrugged. "I woke up, and he was gone. No idea where he went."Richard’s jaw tightened. "We need to leave, and fast. I have a bad feeling the aliens will find us if we linger.""Alright," Sophia replied, rising to her feet. She dusted herself off and headed toward the river, pausing as the water stretched out before them. She turned back to him, a hint of hesitation in her eyes. "How are we supposed to cross this? The river’s huge."Richard stared at the churning water, his face set with resolve. "We swim. I don’t see any other choice."Sophia’s eyes widened, anxiety flickering across her face. "What if the mermaids attack again?"Richard met her gaze, his voice steady. "Let’s hope they don’t. But even if they do, we’ll be prepared this tim

“Richard, why don’t you just stop time and get us out of this mess?” Sophia’s voice shook as she clung to the side of the boat, her knuckles white.Richard glanced at her, a faint smirk crossing his lips. “Actually, I’m thinking of a different approach, using the lightning to get us out.”Sophia’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Lightning? Are you serious?”He nodded, his gaze locked on the storm raging above. “If I can channel it, we might get enough of a push to reach the other side.”Addams let out a shaky laugh, a mix of skepticism and desperation in his voice. “You’re telling us you can control lightning now?”“I don’t know if I can,” Richard admitted, “but it’s our best shot.”He focused on the dark clouds swirling above, “Hold on tight!” he shouted, raising a hand toward the sky as he steadied himself, willing the lightning to respond.In a blinding flash, a bolt of lightning struck close by, the thunder following in a deafening roar. Richard felt the crackling energy flow through

“The bloody trees can speak! And they have eyes!” Addams yelled, his face paling as he struggled to process the impossible.Sophia clung tightly to Richard, her breath quickening. He could feel the press of her body against his, but his focus was entirely on the unsettling sight of the talking trees, their eyes watching him with unsettling interest.Richard raised his hands in a gesture of peace, choosing his words carefully. “We don’t mean to intrude. We’re just passing through and wish no trouble.”The trees let out a sound that might have been a chuckle, the rough bark twisting as if trying to form mocking smiles. Their voices echoed in eerie unison. “It is not us you should be wary of, Ghost Rider. We mean you no harm. But… we cannot speak for the others.”“What… others?” Richard asked, a flicker of relief running through him, though his wariness remained. The trees weren’t hostile, but their words hinted at something darker.“There are many great evils here,” the trees intoned, t

The beast let out a roar, only to be answered by another, even more powerful one that seemed to shake the entire forest. Richard turned, realizing the sound was coming from behind him.Emerging from the shadows was a massive gorilla, its powerful frame radiating authority, muscles rippling as it strode forward.Its intense gaze was locked on the beast with fury. Richard edged to the side, slipping out of the way, as he realized he was about to witness an epic showdown.“You’ve crossed into my territory,” the gorilla rumbled, voice thick with power. “I am the King of this jungle.”The beast sneered, baring its teeth. “I am the alpha of beasts. The apex predator. Everywhere I set foot becomes mine.” It roared, challenging the gorilla, its claws digging into the ground.In response, the gorilla let out a thunderous bellow, pounding its chest with relentless force, each beat echoing like a drum through the forest.Richard watched, his heart racing as the two beasts squared off, knowing he

“Who are you, and why are you calling me ‘master’?” Richard asked, stepping back cautiously.“My kind has always been loyal to the Ghost Riders,” the gorilla replied, still on its knees. “But you need to leave, more of those beasts will return soon. Follow me.”The gorilla rose, sniffing the air with a sudden intensity, as if picking up a strange scent.“There are more of them?” Richard asked, glancing uneasily at the severed beast’s head.“Yes,” the gorilla confirmed. “And they won’t stop until you’re gone.”Richard nodded, still absorbing everything. “Are there more like you?” he asked, studying the gorilla.“Not on Earth. But on my planet, yes,” the gorilla replied, still sniffing the air.“There are humans in this forest. If they don’t leave soon, the beasts here will hunt them down.” The gorilla’s gaze shifted to the direction the scent was coming from.“These humans are my friends. How can we get out of this forest?” Richard asked, urgency building.The gorilla shook its head. “

"Do you think we’re safe here?" Sophia whispered, glancing around the shadows that seemed to pulse with each flicker of her flashlight. "I don’t like this place. We should leave."Addams leaned casually against the cold stone wall, smirking. "Leaving this cave could be a death wish. What if Richard lost the beast and it circles back? We’d be an easy meal."Sophia shot him a sharp look, catching how his eyes roamed over her in the dim light. She ignored it, her voice soft but edged with worry. "Do you think Richard’s safe?"Addams hesitated, glancing toward the cave entrance where the rain drummed against the rocks. "Richard’s handled worse than this," he said, though his tone was uncertain, as if he were trying to convince himself. Sophia hugged herself tighter, shivering as she murmured, "He doesn’t have his powers in this forest... We can’t just sit here. We should do something."Addams let out an impatient sigh, though there was a hint of concern in his eyes. "Listen, miss," he sa

Sophia, disgusted by the scene unfolding in the cave, cursed under her breath and stormed off, her footsteps echoing in the forest. Behind her, Addams and the strange woman remained locked in their heated sexual escapade, oblivious to her departure.As she made her way out, her thoughts tangled in frustration, she suddenly collided with a figure."Richard??" she gasped, relief flooding her voice."Good to see you're fine." Richard's face lit up with a warm smile as he opened his arms.Without hesitation, Sophia stepped into his embrace, holding him tightly. "I couldn't be happier. I was so worried about you," she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.Richard's arms wrapped protectively around her. "I'm sorry I took so long. But I’m here now. Where’s Addams?"Sophia pulled back slightly, enough to meet his gaze, her expression a mixture of exasperation and disbelief. "He’s… fine, I guess. With his new lover."Richard's brows furrowed, confusion flickering in his eyes. "New love

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
