While riding across the desert, Ghost Rider's recent brush with death causes him to reflect back on a time in which he met the physical embodiment of Death. Remembering back to time when he was riding across the desert and suddenly changed into Ghost Rider. He finds himself confronted with another cyclist who claims to be Death. At first Blaze does not believe him, but Death touches someone along the road and they collapse and die. Death challenges Johnny—who now realizes this is no joke. Up ahead is a small girl, and they must race to see who can reach a her first. If Death arrives to first, she dies, but if Ghost Rider beats him there, she lives.
