When Asmodeus asked Mephisto for control over Zarathos, the demon lord split the lattermost demon from his host, using the Sword of Demonicus, and promised him freedom from the motorcyclist if they both reached a portal together. Mephisto allowed Asmodeus to send his minions after Johnny and Zarathos, as they rode through the Road of Lost Souls and over Mount Avarice, although they had both reached the portal at the same time and were joined together, once again. As a result, the Ghost Rider vowed vengeance on Mephisto, who vaporized Asmodeus.

Ghost Rider (Vol. 2) #77
After Johnny and Zarathos were rejoined, the demon told the motorcyclist the story of how a medicine man summoned him on behalf of his tribe and gave him souls in exchange for unequalled might, which caught the attention of Mephisto and angered him, so he decided to use a prince and princess as pawns against his fellow demon. Johnny was captured by Renaldo and his freaks, while Zarathos plotted with Nightmare to take over the stuntman's body.
