The sun was up and bright when I reached the gathering, it hurt, burned, but I didn't care. I was out for blood and I was going to get it, even if I had to rip down the whole bloody basilica, even if it took all day. I could hear people crying, and weeping for those lost not more than a few hours earlier. A girl-child cried for her mother, as tears ran down her ashen face, she looked like me all those many years ago. There was a man, he was standing up to the creature, suddenly his soul was ripped from his body, people were gasping and screaming from shock. "Join him, or join me" said the monster. The people in the stadium dropped to their knees. Then Riddick uncloaked himself and he was confronted. He fought the man that killed Imam, and he won. Then he was taken to the Basilica, to Necropolis, the city of the dead. I followed and I waited until the way was clear. I fought and killed my way to the Quazi-grotto room. I burst through the door just as the stupid creature said, "Kill the Riddick." I kicked the door open and yelled, "You stupid, evil, dead son of a bitch!" Riddick stood and looked at me, the soldiers that were about to try and kill him stopped and looked as well. Imam's blood still staining my face and arms, making me look savage in my rage. I stared at the monster, the Lord Marshall. I pointed one sai at him, and with eyes glowing I yelled, " You will pay for what you have done, for everything that you have stolen from me! I wish you a year in the fiery depths of hell for every life you have stolen." The Lord Marshall looked down at me from the upper level of the room and called to me, "Do I know you girl? Have we crossed paths before?" I laughed, "Why yes we have, many times before. In fact, I'm surprised the last Lord Marshall didn't warn you of me." His eyes widened the slightest, "Kill her!, Kill them both!" he yelled. Riddick grabbed my wrist as the soldiers started to flow through the door.
We escaped, running through the city being chased by one of their ships when all of a sudden it was blown up. That's when another stupid merc showed his ugly, greasy head. "Let me guess a five man crew this time?" Riddick chuckled. "A couple of things you could have done better," said the Merc. "First, trash the locater beckon inside my ship, the one you jacked. And second, dust my dick when you get the chance. Any questions?" the man asked. "Yeah, what took you so long Tombs?" Riddick replied as he held out his hands. I turned to look at him my cloak hood still up, "Really?… One of the most notorious convicts in the universe, and you get caught by Tombs? Come on!" I said as I smacked Riddick on the back of the head. Tombs turned to me as a woman locked Riddick in chains. "Now who do we have here?" he asked as a gun was pointed at my head. Tombs used his gun to lift the hood on my cloak. "Ha! Well now, looky here guys. Looks like our payload just got bigger." He smirked. "Who is she boss?" asked a rather stupid, overexcited merc. Tombs looked me up and down smirking, then he said, "She is an escaped convict, wanted for 150 murders, 5 cases of grand theft auto, 20 cases of hijacking and 10 mauling. Goes by Nyx, she's worth even more than Riddick over here, two mil. She's worth." I rolled my eyes and stuck out my hands waiting as I stood with all my weight on one foot.
Then that familiar cold metal was placed on my wrists, I sighed and walked over to the small ship. I was loaded into the back with Riddick, and strapped into a cryo-sleep cuff. "So where should we drop your Merc killing asses?" Tombs asked. "Butcher bay?" "Really? That's the best you could come up with Tombs? Those protein waffles are crap." I said. "Shut it. Hey how 'bout Ursa Luna?" the grease ball said. I scoffed. "They keep a cell open for me," said Riddick, "Just in case I drop in." Tombs turned to his crew and chuckled, "Maybe we should think about upping our game for these two, think of something truly diabolical." The only woman on the team popped a mint into her mouth and said to herself, "What the hells he thinking now." Riddick smirked and said, "He's thinking a triple max prison, a no daylight slam. Only three of them left in the system, two of them out of range for a shitty little under cutter like this one with no legs. Which leaves only one, Crematoria, that is what you had in mind, right Tombs?" The crew started arguing, and I laughed and crossed my legs as Riddick said, "Don't know about this new crew of yours. They seem a bit skittish, probably should have told them what happened to the last crew." I snickered, and Riddick looked over at me and cocked his head to the side. I raised my eyebrow and smirked, showing the tip of a fang, "The last crew I ran into, hasn't caught up with me yet." I said leaning back as much as I could against my rather flimsy restraints. "What's your point?" He asked. "My point is Riddick, that you still have some learning to do. Rule number one, Leave no throat un-slit." I said quietly.
Tombs walked back to us and leaned close to Riddick, "You know your supposed to be some slick shit killer, now look at you," he said as he stood up to look between me and Riddick, "Getting lessons from a kid that's no more than 20." I snarled, "I'm older than that Tombs, and I suggest that you get me into Cryo-sleep before these chains become a bit to uncomfortable." He looked at me with "ya right" look. "They aren't supposed to be comfortable," he said and got real close to my face, "But if you really want to be comfortable I'm sure I can help you with that." He moved the hair away from my neck as the guys in his crew snickered. I rolled my head to the side, a look of disgust on my face. Tombs continued to slide his greasy, ugly, fat nose to the front of my throat, I sighed. Riddick tensed up, and pulled on the chains. I looked over at him and I winked, I pulled my head back, and Tombs lifted his face to mine. I glanced over at Riddick with a truly evil look on my face. I leaned my head back some more, then as soon as Tombs closed his eyes, I smashed his nose with my forehead. He yelled in pain. "Oh suck it up you pussy! I didn't even break it." I said. Tombs looked up at me still clutching his nose, "You little bitch!" he said furiously as he punched my jaw. My face off to the side, I licked a little of my black blood from my lip. I turned to look at that bastard again, and I spit the blood on the floor at his feet. The crew settled down to go into Cryo. Riddick was only half awake, due to his furyan side, his animal side. He was lucky, to be able to half sleep, to drift between the worlds of consciousness and sleep, I was stuck fully awake. In that time I conjured myself a set of angled welding goggles like Riddick's only tapered at the ends. Little did I know that the Nercomongers had at that moment found the Ion trail left by Tombs' stupid little ship.
