Ever since I escaped from Butcher Bay I have been on the run. Luckily for me they don't look for you in a giant cruiser ship with a meat eating monster you picked up from a desert planet a few years back. While I was there I realized that everything was dead. Save for a little flying creature. Reminded me of a hammerhead shark mixed with a pterodactyl.
When I landed on the planet I took some supplies and was about to leave. But one little thing stopped me. On my skiff was a small creature, wounded and alone. I normally stay away from any form of life. But something about this little guy got me thinkin. I was due a little friend so I approached it. At first it just attacked me over and over again but once it realized that I was not going to hurt it it calmed down. Ever since that day on the planet I have taken care of it and it has watched over me.
We cruise from system to system stealing anything we needed and making some money on death runs. I was flying near my pet's home world when I saw a very large cargo ship. It was going straight to the planet. I looked at the planet and back at the clock that was made for it. They were landing at the worst possible time.
I sighed and parked my ship. I was going to be a "good guy" and save their asses. I hated it when the little angel on my shoulder told me to go do good things. I got into a skiff and waited for my pet to come along. It got its coat and got into the skiff with me.
"Alright Dukes we go down, save some lives and rob them blind." I told him an steered the craft to the planet.
He clicked a few times and wiggled his butt in the seat. I think I trained him too much to like a dog.
We landed on the planet and I opened the doors. Dukes wore his coat and we started to walk out. Damn why the hell was this planet so hot? We walked for a while and I saw some of the remains of the ship.
"Damn whoever was flying this fucking blows." I told Dukes and he clicked in agreement.
We continued our march. I needed to get these people off this fuck hole fast or the darkness will get us. I looked back at Dukes. He knew the same thing I did. We were screwed if we didn't do something fast.
We ran for a while until we came across some dead bodies. I smirked, looked like Dukes was gonna get some dinner out of this.
"Dukes come and eat." I told him and pointed out some of the dead bodies.
He nodded and ate some. He needed to stay strong, if we were going to get off this shit hole we needed both of us at our best. He finished and we continued to run. We stopped once we got to the tail end of the ship…well what was the tail end of the ship. I saw a man tied to a rail. Then I heard them. We stayed hidden till they left.
"Johns got himself a new toy it would seem." I said to the chained man.
He grunted and looked at me. I knew a convict when I saw one. I looked around and grabbed a torch. I cut his chains and took off his blind fold. His eyes were a beaut, he was a perfect specimen of men.
"Thanks for that suga but what's in it for you?" The man asked.
"Oh nothin much. I just love fuckin with Johns whenever I can." I told him and started to walk away. I knew I was going to see him again. I just had to figure out a way to talk to the others without Johns tryin to capture me.
"So do I get the name of my savior?" He asked.
"The name is Ritsa, Ritsa the pirate. An you?" I asked him making sure he saw that I was not alone. Behind me Dukes stood at his full height.
"They call me Riddick." Riddick said.
"I'll be seeing you Riddick." I told him and Dukes and I left.
We walked away from him, a damn shame too he looked like he could be hours of fun. I smiled and continued to walk until a boy in a turban saw me.
"Fuck all kinds of duck." I said to myself as he started to scream.
The others appeared, Johns aimed his gun at my head. Team killing fuck tard.
"Well well well Ritsa the pirate I never thought I would see you here." Johns said.
"Well this is what I get for being a good person." I said and played with my hair.
For a convict I didn't look it. Stopping at five foot nothing and long red hair I looked like a pixie. Freckles on my face and a decent sized rack most would think me a harem girl. Not a murderer and thief. But hey you do what ya gotta do.
"Who is she Johns?" A blonde woman asked.
"She is a murderer and thief. She is a gun for hire, pretty good too until she got caught one day. She got out of Butcher Bay and now on the run. The bounty on her head is more than Riddick's." Johns said and kept the gun on my head.
This triggered Dukes protective mode and he pounced on Johns. They fought for a second until I grabbed Johns gun. I shot in the air and Dukes got off.
"Look you little piss ant you want to get off this hell planet then come with me. I have a skiff that will take us off world. But it's back at the main site and off the site a few clicks." I told them and walked back to the ship. They all followed me and Dukes.
Once we got back Johns ran and started to beat the shit out of Riddick. Then a girl with curly black hair asked about a body.
I looked to Dukes and noticed his tail, even though it was under the cloak I can see its outline, it was shimmering. The others like him were near…there was a nest here…fuck.
