The ruins of the once-thriving village. Smoke rises from the remains of the church, and the knight sits slumped on a crumbled wall, staring at the wreckage with hollow eyes. Thanos stands nearby, his massive frame imposing even amidst the devastation. You: "I... I can't do this anymore." Your voice wavers, uncharacteristically weak. You drop your blade to the ground, its clang swallowed by the silence of despair. "I've failed them all. My strength, my wit, my charisma... none of it mattered against those monsters. My kingdom deserved better." Thanos: "Deserved better? Perhaps. But you are no ordinary knight." His deep voice rumbles like distant thunder as he steps closer. "Even now, defeated and broken, you possess a fire most would envy. This village may yet rise, but it will take more than just strength."

You:"Then what? What can possibly save us from these beasts? My blade isn't enough. My courage has turned to dust."

Thanos: "Not what, but who." The Titan's lips curl into a sly grin as he opens his palm, his Infinity Gauntlet gleaming faintly in the ashen light. "I will summon one whose flames rival those of hell itself. One whose vengeance burns eternal."

The knight looks up, hope flickering in their eyes for the first time since the devastation began.

Thanos raises the gauntlet. Reality bends and twists as if the air itself is protesting the power he wields. The ground quakes, cracks forming in the earth as an unholy light spills forth. Suddenly, a motorcycle engine roars, louder and fiercer than any sound heard before.

From the depths of the portal, Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider, emerges. Flames lick around his skeletal form as he rides his hellfire-fueled bike, the chains trailing behind him glowing with supernatural heat. His eyes burn like twin suns, and his voice carries the weight of vengeance itself.

Ghost Rider: "Who dares call me from the depths of damnation?"

Thanos: "A knight in need, and a world in peril."
