Multiple disclamer shit:
1) I obviously don't own Riddick… honestly, if I did, my life would be soo much better!
2) I haven't actually seen CoR, only about 30-45 minutes of it… so if any of the info I put in here is wrong, (like how many planets in the Helion system there are)… just be nice and send me a kind review. I'll be glad to edit it.
3) Set before Chronicles of Riddick but after Pitch Black
Aeron Raine huffed, rolled her silver-reflective eyes, and drank the last drop from her glass. Diggs was supposed to be here by now, and she was getting more than annoyed. Right now, all she wanted was a good bar fight.
She looked up as an older man walked in the door. He was about thirty, long light brown hair, pale skin, and oddly dressed. He wore a tee-shirt, and jeans… and All Stars. He was a vintage. And he was walking right towards Raine…
"Good day Ms. Raine. Nice to see you on such a lovely day," The man remarked pleasantly as he sat. Raine scoffed. The man looked at her with curiosity, sensing her dark mood.
"A lovely day? Your two hours late, I've had about 10 cans of non-alcoholic energy drinks now, and if it weren't for Tony over here, I would have been long gone. What the fuck took you so damn long Diggs?!" Raine snapped, signaling to the guard standing behind her. The man, Diggs, dismissed the rude remarks and looked through the file in front of him.
"Quite a record you've racked up, Ms. Raine… Murder, grand theft auto, aggravated assault, kidnapping… and the illegal surgery? You have been busy," Diggs remarked. Raine rolled her eyes.
"Allegedly," She quipped. "You said you could make my trial go away. What do you want."
Diggs sighed deeply. "Ms. Raine –"
"Its just Raine. Raine or Aeron. Your choice."
"Fine. Raine. The Helion council has been alerted of your… gifts. We need you to do us a favor," he finished calmly.
"What. Spit it out," Raine snapped back.
"We need you to find someone for us. Richard B. Riddick."
Raine's silver eyes flashed. Riddick. The most wanted man in the Inter-Planetary council. Known for his speed and skills. Raine's favorite.
"What do I get other than a clean record," Raine asked uneasily.
"Well… That's a good question. Would you like something?" Diggs dodged back.
"Everything you took off of me when you locked me up," Raine growled. Diggs sighed.
"Now Raine, you know that we can't do that," Diggs wearily explained.
"No ship, no Riddick. No knives, no Riddick. End of conversation," Raine declared. She stood, preparing to leave. Diggs stood with her.
"I can't get the ship, but I can get the rest," he bargained. It was now Raine's turn to sigh wearily.
"How many times have we gone through this? All or nothing. That's the way it is. Tony move."
But Tony did not move. Raine was the first to throw the punch. She missed, but was behind Tony before his arm had reached where she was previously standing. A kick to the ribs and a crushing punch to the back of the head put the burly guard down before the fight started. Raine dusted herself off and began to walk out, Diggs hurrying after.
"If I could just bargain with you for a moment…" he pleaded. But Raine kept walking.
"You know where I'll be if you change your mind. Bye-bye now…" she wearily stated. And out through the bar she strode in a flash into the harsh light, sunglasses appearing over the shining green eyes.
