After a vehicular struggle, Ghost Rider manages to defeat Carrigan and causes the vehicle carrying Roarke and Danny to crash. Roarke manages to escape with Danny and the Ghost Rider and Nadya give pursuit. Carrigan kills Moreau, but Danny (who Roarke states has the same powers as he does) gives Johnny back the power of the Ghost Rider. With the ritual to transfer Roarke's spirit and power into Danny underway, the three infiltrate the compound to save him. The others follow, with Johnny not wanting to desert Danny after having promised to protect him. Carrigan intervenes, killing the monks and taking Danny captive again. The head monk Methodius proclaims that Danny will never be safe from the influence of evil and says he must die, taking them captive in order to execute the boy. Moreau exorcises the spirit and Johnny becomes human again. Johnny confesses that his deal with Roarke was really a selfish one: his stepfather had accepted his cancer and was ready to die Johnny was the one who did not want him to go. Moreau tells Johnny that he can exorcise the spirit if Johnny tells a secret that only he knows of. Moreau explains that the Ghost Rider is the twisted incarnation of the Spirit of Justice, Zarathos, after being captured and tortured in Hell. Johnny and Nadya bring Danny to the monastery. Roarke is not done with Carrigan he turns Carrigan into a demon called Blackout capable of instantly decaying anything he touches. When Ghost Rider catches up to Nadya and starts to use his Penance Stare on her, Danny is able to stop the Rider with a word, exercising his hidden power. Nadya rescues Danny as the Rider converts a mining machine (a Bagger 288 ) into a massive fiery machine, destroying their hideout complex and mortally wounding Carrigan. Johnny takes off ahead of Nadya to deal with Carrigan. That night, Nadya and Johnny interrogate a known contact of Carrigan's. Danny nearly escapes, but breaks his ankle and is recaptured. Roarke lacks this power so far from Hell. Nadya tells Blaze that as she lay dying, she made a deal with Roarke: her life in return for him impregnating her with Danny, making Danny a direct vessel for Roarke and the potential for him to have unlimited power on the surface world. Roarke warns it will not shield Carrigan from being sensed and gives him instructions to deliver Danny. Carrigan tells Roarke about the Rider, and Roarke speaks an incantation to Danny over phone, which effectively prevents the Rider from sensing Danny's location. Despite his injuries he leaves the hospital, and despite not trusting him, he convinces Nadya to accept his help.
