Children of Fury

Part 1: Coming Together

Riddick looks around from his place on the newly acquired position; the Necromongors are bowing to him. He has no idea how he's gonna get out of this one. He can't stay on the throne and do nothing. But he also can't step down and let somebody (probably Vaako) destroy the universe. He looks down at Kyra's lifeless body and thinks:

"Damn it, if it weren't for me she'd still be alive… " Sadly it's not the first time those words have crossed his dark mind.

Suddenly there's a commotion from the front of the Basilica. People dressed as male new-converts are rushing toward the throne…and him. The only Necro that can react quickly enough and snap out of the fog and afterglow of the recent events is Vaako. Who shoots out of his kneeling position and into a protective stance beside his new Lord Marshal.

"Interesting." Riddick thinks passively, he's too numb to care.

Good thing for Vaako because the other First Among Commanders…(Scales? Toals? Riddick can't remember.)…is grabbed by the front running invader and his throat slit. The unabashed invader walks straight up to Riddick, no hesitance or fear in his body language.

"Guess this ones in charge." Riddick muses, pondering what the hell else is going to happen today. The Invader says:

"You are holding someone very dear to me captive. I want him back."

Riddick is taken-aback. It's a female voice. (He couldn't tell because of the hoods and cloaks the little group of six is sporting.)

"I don't know what you're talking about girl." He replies. She seems to believe him. The Girl puts back her hood; she has on a black beanie, reflective Aviators, and a black scarf. Most of her face is obstructed, only two thick chocolate-brown braids are visible through the mess of cloth. The rest follow suit, only another seems to be a female, the others are male. Young, teens probably.

"Alright, let me talk to somebody who does."

"You don't understand kid, I just, uh, got here." Riddick stands, alarmed and adrenaline pumping when he sees one of them doing something to Kyra's body. He goes to move to stop whatever the hell the biggest male is trying to do, he sensed Vaako tighten his grip on the axe he was clutching, ready for battle. It was a tense moment but The Girl holds up her hand calmly stopping him.

"Don't worry; Tom here is just checking her wound and body temp so he can see if he can stabilize her."
Riddick feels guilt and remorse flow through him again: "But she's dead, you can't."

The Girl removes her scarf and gives him a sly smile: "We have our ways."
