Attack on Aida

"What's new?" "Nothing much. Beat up a couple dudes, turned out to be robots."

- Quake and Ghost Rider

The Attack on Aida was an assault led by Ghost Rider in an attempt to reclaim the Darkhold and to bring both the book and Aida to Hell.

Background
"I don't think we've seen the last of Mr. Reyes."

- Phil Coulson

During the Battle at the Chinatown Crew Headquarters, Ghost Rider chose to sacrifice himself to stop Eli Morrow and was trapped in Hell. However, Phil Coulson felt that they would soon meet the Ghost Rider once again. Indeed, when Aida, through her actions in the Framework, finally acquired a living body thanks to the Darkhold and the Project Looking Glass, she did so by harnessing matter from Hell. The creation of Aida's new body formed a tear between Hell and the Earthly Plane, enabling Ghost Rider to return and fulfill his new mission: bringing Aida and the Darkhold where they both belonged as they were made of dark matter. Thus, Ghost Rider appeared through an Inter-Dimensional Gate in a devastated Playground right after the Escape from Aida. He then reclaimed his Hell Charger and went in pursuit of his targets.

Attack
"I've come for that."

- Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider drove his Hell Charger to the facility where Aida and Anton Ivanov had taken the Darkhold and prepared for their plan to put in place an anti-Inhumans and anti-S.H.I.E.L.D. dictatorship. Ghost Rider demanded to be handed over the Darkhold. Smirking at this seemingly reckless opponent, Aida ordered her Life-Model Decoys to take him down. However, Ghost Rider easily destroyed them.

During the fight, the Darkhold fell on the ground. Aida went to reclaim it, but Ghost Rider whipped her with his Hellfire Chain, leaving her with a burn on her right arm which she could not recover from. Aida attacked him with her eletrokinetics ability, but Ghost Rider, taking his demonic form, resisted the assault and jumped to strike another blow with his chain. However, upon seeing that Ghost Rider was a too much formidable opponent for her to defeat, Aida teleported away, leaving Ghost Rider in a great anger.

Aftermath
"There's only one person who might be able to stop me."

- Aida

Her fight with Ghost Rider left Aida with a permanent burn on her right arm. She and Anton Ivanov figured out that since Ghost Rider came from Hell just like the dark matter which formed Aida's body, he was able to hurt and even destroy her, blocking her regenerative abilities. Therefore, Aida would try her best to remain far from the Ghost Rider.

Ghost Rider remained in the building after the battle. He was found by Daisy Johnson and ultimately allied once again with S.H.I.E.L.D. in their common attempt to stop Aida. The alliance would eventually lead to Aida's death and Ghost Rider's return to Hell with the Darkhold.
