Finding Furya
(Riddick's voice narration)
Act like an animal you get locked up like one or hunted down and killed for a bounty. I've always been animal, unless you count the one moment of weakness. Mercs. All of them have at point have hunted me down, no one has ever left me alone, that's why so many have been ghosted. Always been in some slam where you never see daylight, it's how I got my skills, and my second pair of eyes so I can see what's coming in the darkness and ghost 'em before they ghost me. Somewhere I skipped a step, I got civilized. Never thought about joining civilization since I was thrown away like yesterday's garbage when I was born. That is until a female pilot opened my mind about the human race and civilization. All that shit spewing from her perfect lips about a part of me wanting to join the human race again. Lady, no human ever gave me the chance to join anything. Who did she think she was talkin' to? I'm a known murderous convict and great escape artist, was Richard Bennet Riddick, an animal. But somewhere along the way that beautiful bitch Frye made me curious about joining the human race or it could have been her and the cute kid I saved. I am no body's hero kid. I got sloppy and weak along the way and I got you killed, should've stayed with the holy man.
Two silver mercury pools stared out at the galaxies before him,
"Whole lot of open space." Riddick sighed, again he was alone. He had nothing but time to think about what had transpired over the last 10 years. First he managed to save people, two people really, from hammerhead monsters that only came out in the dark. He had managed to get them to a so called holy planet. He thought he would leave the kid with the holy man since he had lost his sons to the monsters and she would be safe.
"No such thing as a friend." Riddick mumbled. He came back because Toombs came after him, a bounty on his head again. He had known it wouldn't have lasted long. When he came back he found the holy man had replaced his Jack with another family. Riddick held his head as his memories just about drowned him. His Jack had left to go and find him and was now rumored to be in a slam, Crematoria. Along the way he found out he came from a race of people who were murdered in cold blood because of a prophecy of a male Furyan who would kill the half dead lord marshal.
During the Necros taking victims including killing the holy man Riddick got himself taken so he could gut the fucker that killed the holy man and to meet this half dead son of a bitch. When he escape the necros clutches on him he winded back in Toombs lap. A big fat payday for Toombs and Riddick's free ride to get to his Jack and give her an ass kicking. He had no idea of what kind of animal she had become.
Once he found his Jack she wasn't the kid he once knew. She had changed her name to Kyra and cut him with a piece of sharp plastic from her teeth. Riddick's animal was rattling the cage since they had both been turned on by Kyra's animal side and her fine ass body. But there were problems when they escaped Crematoria, she thought Riddick had died and instead of burning along with him in the sunlight and the fires she risked it to go with the necros. But he came to get her and to kill the lord marshal. She was Riddick's Kyra now, she had always been, no matter if she had changed her name.
And in the end she had been killed because he was too weak to defend them both, she had sacrificed her underverse life for him. And now it all didn't mean a thing to him. He didn't want that life, he didn't want her to sacrifice her life for him. And now he had started a new mission, to find Furya, to find where he came from. And along the way, he got lazy and sloppy again and once again was left for dead on another planet similar to Crematoria but without the sun catching everything on fire. So once again he resorted back to the animal side. It's all he knew, it was his comfort zone, he didn't have to care for anyone but himself, and he wouldn't have his heart broken and ripped out like it just had been.
He couldn't even give his Kyra a proper burial so he had her put in cryo sleep and her body preserved in a secret place back on the necro ship, hoping one day to bring her soul back to her or to give her the proper burial she deserved. Now he had to build back up to his strength, he had survived the new planet he was left for dead on, and had made a companion in crime, a ding go dog like creature. He could help whenever the mercs came looking for him and he would kill the mercs and take their ship. He again got his heart ripped out of his chest, his companion was killed and he had tried so hard to save him from the bastard who called himself Santana but the bitch Dahl knocked his ass out. Of course Santana got his ass ghosted for that shit, whatever and whoever belonged to Riddick he protected at all cost or the unlucky bastard who killed anything that belonged to Riddick would get his ass ghosted.
As he now stared at the red blimp on his navigational system screen he found himself feeling something he never thought he could experience, nervousness. He had built himself back up to the animal he had been before he had somewhat joined civilization and learned to care for someone. He was now home. Right where Commander Vaako said it would be. Now his brow was etched in pain, he had found what he was looking for but along the way he lost something, someone far more important to him. The one kid who had always looked up to him as some kind of cool hero, and the woman who had tried kicking his ass to make him see that he had been a dick to her for leaving and for lying about where he got his eyes, Kyra. His Kyra.
He never got to ask her for her real name but she would always be his Kyra. He didn't deserve her since he couldn't protect her from those necros and God had seen to it that she was so violently ripped away from him. Riddick's large, meaty hands balled up into tight fists. He was supposed to protect them, to protect those he cared for not use them and make them expendable. Maybe he knew no other way, people were all expendable, especially the weak. He sucked in his lips and growled to an empty cockpit, everything and everyone he got closed to and that didn't want to hunt or kill him for some bounty was dead because of him.
"Not for me Kyra." Riddick quietly gritted through his teeth as his whole body shook. There was one thing he had to do before he went home to Furya. Unfinished business and someone who deserved a proper burial. He tagged the navigational coordinates in on his system and put the ship in overdrive. Last run.
