(3rd Person Pov – 2 ½ Years Later – Heilon Prime)

Riddick moved through the shadows as he neared Imam's house. When Toombs showed up and bragged about taking in a girl by the name of Kyra, he was shocked when Toombs told him that Kyra was Luna's sister. That could only mean on thing. Kyra was Jack. As he closed in he could already see that Heilon was locked down because of the asteroid that was on approach. He waited til the guards went by to jump down then scale the side of the building that was in the shadows. He knew that he looked gruff because he hadn't shaved since he lived on the cold ass planet. He could tell that Imam was no home but there were two females.

He could also hear that one was in the shower while another played with blocks. Sliding the lock on the door to the balcony, he went into the room. He walked over and found some grease and a metal bucket. He started to shave when he heard that Imam entered the house and spoke to the kid then headed to the room he was in. He smirked as Imam opened the door and froze. He shaved a few more stripes before he spoke to the holy man that was one of three he took off the planet.

"Riddick..." Imam started but Riddick broke in.

"I took three people of the planet pitch black, a holy man and two females. One 19 and one 14." Riddick scraped the shiv into the bucket. "I told the man where I might go and put my faith in him that he wouldn't do me wrong. Did I make a mistake?" Riddick had finished by now and whipped the shiv on his pants as he turned to Imam.

"If you will let me explain." Imam asked quietly. He knew that his friend would be upset but there were things out there more terrifying than the man in front of him.

"I'm listening." Riddick moved over to the side where he could look out the window and door at the same time.

Imam cleared his throat as he looked at the man he knew only to well. "I was speaking to an Elemental and they told me of a legend about the asteroid that is coming. When they told me about how Furyan Males were killed at birth with their umbilical cord around their neck, I told them of you."

Riddick growled as he moved forward and pressed his shiv to Imam's throat. "I trusted you." He pushed away from the man because he knew he couldn't kill Imam.

"The reason he told me was because you are Furyan." A old female voice sounded to his side. Riddick quickly pressed his shiv to the woman's throat. "You have no need for that, Mr. Riddick." The woman told him as she disappeared in a puff of air.

Riddick frowned as he watched the woman. "What are you?" He kept his shiv out in order to make sure this wasn't a trap.

"An Elemental, Aereon, but that isn't what I came to speak to you about." Aereon told Riddick. "I was wondering if you knew what you were?"

"Is there other Furyans out there?" Imam popped up.

Aereon looked into his eyes. "Will you help these people? When the Necromongers come they will kill or convert the entire planet."

Riddick looked from Imam then to Aereon. "Ain't my fight." He smirked. "And as for there being more, Lady, they don't know what to do with one of me."

"So, you will leave us to our fate like you left Luna?" Imam stepped forward with a scowl on his face. "Not to mention young Jack."

Riddick was about to say something when there was a banging on the door. Riddick could hear that Imam's wife was at the door. There were guards saying that they saw a suspicious man coming here today. Imam's wife asked them to hold on but that didn't stop them from coming in anyway. Imam looked at Riddick with a worried look then turned and left the room. Aereon followed behind Imam, leaving Riddick in the room alone. He grinned when they started his way. Shrugging off his cloak, Riddick turned his back to the door and stood in between two candle stick holders. He couldn't stop the grin spreading across his face when the door busted in. There were four guards in total.

"You don't mind if I put the light out." Riddick asked them as he held his hands over the candles flames. "The light hurts my eyes." He whispered as he snuffed the flame out with his hands.

Riddick didn't wait for them to start shooting for him to pull his shiv and lunged at the guard closest to the window. There were bullets flying all around but none of them were hitting him. He was behind them after he killed the other. He sliced the two in the middle necks as he grabbed the last guys arm and twisted. The gun went flying out of his hands and Riddick cut him in the sweet spot. Riddick chuckled when Imam entered and turned on the light. He had replaced his goggles before Imam turned the light on.

"Allah." Imam gasped as he saw the bodies laying on the floor at Riddick's feet.

"You mentioned them." Riddick turned and looked over his shoulder. "What about Jack and Luna?"

Imam shook his head. "From what I understand, Luna was pregnant when you left." He sighed and looked out the window. "Jack is no longer called Jack. Her name is Kyra now. She called me about two and a half years ago telling me that when I saw you to let you know that everything that has happened is your fault. What happened I do not know the main part but I understand that Luna lost the child at three months. She was then taken to Crematoria letting Kyra escape. When Kyra called me she hung up but I could hear foot steps. They are both in Crematoria Prison."

Riddick's jaw clenched as he thought about Luna losing their child and then young Jack having to live without her sister for at least four months. His eyes went to Imam's not that the holy man could tell with Riddick wearing his goggles. Riddick then turned his head to Aereon.

"I'll help but first thing is first I need to make sure that Luna and Kyra are alright." Riddick told the old woman as he turned to the window.

"That is all I ask." Aereon said but placed a hand on Riddick's shoulder. "I would also like to tell you that Luna is part Furyan as well. Her father was a Furyan warrior that was killed. You are the last two of your kind. For that I am sorry for the lost of your son." Aereon then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Imam nodded his thanks as he turned and went out the door. Riddick paused for a moment letting his mind process that he had a son and that boy was dead because of the mother being on the run. He knew only two well what happens sometimes. He could only guess that it a fight that went bad. Shaking his head, he needed to hurry out into the open and wait for Toombs. Riddick also needed to have a talk with Toombs. But from what the merc told him before, Kyra was just as deadly as him. Smirking he could imagine what it would look like with Luna and Kyra fighting side by side. Riddick shivered because he would hate to be at the end of that anger but then again he was most likely will be when he pops up in there little hole in the ground. Just as Riddick was about to leave the city, a large aircraft landed and troops were let out.

Frowning, he decided that he would make sure that Imam and his family was safe before he let Toombs take him to Crematoria. As he ran down the dark alley ways, he was stopped when he spotted Imam running towards him. Riddick grabbed Imam and pulled him into the cut out with him, with his hand over the other mans mouth. He pressed a finger to his lips then pointed in front of them. Imam went to rush out because of the fact his wife and daughter were huddling in a corner near where the new army was circling around the army of Heilon prime. Imam and Riddick watched as the invading army took down the others with no more than a staff with a weird looking engravings. Once the Necros left the area, Imam rushed out and over to where his wife and daughter were.

Riddick stepped out and pulled them towards another alley way knowing that there were more coming. Imam, his wife or daughter didn't say anything as Riddick shoved them into the alcove. He ran over and hid in another one as he watched a creature on a leash with a singular lens on his face while another one of the Necros held onto a beeping box that was attached to the 'leash'. Riddick could see that the creature closing in on Imam and his family. Before Riddick could move, Imam jumped out and took the creatures in another direction. Riddick growled as he rushed over to where Imam's wife and his daughter were still huddled in the corner. He crouched not to far from them and cleared his throat. The girl looked up first then pulled away from her mother and ran over to Riddick wrapping her small arms around his neck. He knelt there stiffen until the child's mother called her back.

"Go find some where to hide and I'll bring Imam back." Riddick told the Imam's wife as he dashed in the direction that Imam lead the Necros.

It didn't take Riddick long before he could Imam. Riddick gritted his teeth as he knelt by his friend and ran his fingers down his eyes to close them. Imam was dead. He lifted his head and turned it to the left noticing that the Necro that killed Imam was just barely turning the corner. Turning his attention back to Imam, Riddick ripped off the amulet around Imam's neck and slipped it on. Standing up, he ran down the alley and followed where the big guy went. Riddick would avenge Imam's death then take the amulet to his wife and daughter. He could only pray that they would forgive him.

Never before had he cared until he crashed on the pitch black planet with Imam, Luna and Jack. As he passed Imam's house, he wrapped Imam's amulet around the door handle. His wife and daughter would know that it was from him. Riddick moved quickly and quietly down the alley's until he found the right one. He walked casually behind the others and leaned against a pillar. His goggled eyes were locked on the man that killed Imam and took a father and husband away, not to mention one of his only friends. Riddick half way listened as the guy with the funky helmet started talking but when the taller guy with a mohawk came over and told him to bow, Riddick only smirked.

"I'm not with anyone here." Riddick told him as he stepped forward. "But I will take a piece of him." He pointed to the one that killed Imam.

The man with the ugly helmet stepped forward. "Then a piece you shall have." He waved the man forward.

Riddick didn't wait long before he kicked the guy in the gut then moved behind him and took the knife from his back and sliced the guy's throat. The big guy fell quickly as Riddick stood over his body. The man that had the mohawk just stared at Riddick while the man with the helmet stepped forward and picked up the knife. He looked at the guy that was lying at his feet then looked at Riddick.

"What do you think of this blade?" He asked flipping the blade around where the handle was pointed toward Riddick.

Riddick took the blade and flipped it around in his hands. "'bout a half gram heavy on the hilt side." He held it back to the short guy in front of him.

"In the Necromonger way, you keep what you kill." He grabbed Riddick's hand that held the blade and squeezed tightly.

"Hm." Riddick pulled his hand from the guys.

The man clapped his hand and Riddick was surrounded by followers. "I want him to meet the quazi-dead." He turned and headed back to his seat.

"I ain't going anywhere." Riddick snarled, as he readied for a fight.

The leader turned and narrowed his eyes. "It wasn't an offer." He clicked his fingers but a woman stepped forward.

"Why not ask him nicely?" The woman walked over and looped her arm through Riddick's. "You will get to see inside of the Necromonger fortress, which in its self is a rare gift."

Riddick smirked because he could tell that this woman was trying to hit on him but the only thing he wanted to do was rip her head off for touching him. He nodded slightly as he let the woman lead him into the flying fortress. He would find out what these people wanted then he would go to Crematoria to get Luna and Jack out of that place. He knew that Toombs would be here shortly and would be his ticket off this rock. Riddick couldn't wait for that to happen. He had a few things to speak to Luna and Jack about.

(Luna's Pov – Crematoria – At The Same Time)

I have been in Crematoria for about three years where Kyra has only been here about 2 ½ years. In that time, I had to show her how to fight when I wasn't around because even though there are some 'nice' men here there were some that would rather kill you, fuck you or hit you then to look or talk to you. Those were dwindling because of the fact Kyra and I had taken most of them out. The only ones left where the ones on the guards. Tran, Luis, Mike and Tiger. They didn't come down here because of the fact I had a Furyan hound pup in my care.

When I first arrived, I was shocked when they called feeding time and the Furyan hounds that were on Alisa's ship were here in Crematoria. Ruby – the female, and Killer – the male, along with their male pup, Nitro, were on Crematoria. They caged Ruby and Killer but let Nitro run free with the prisoners. I was horrified when I found that out but it was Nitro that found this little cave for Kyra and myself. Turning around on the ledge, I looked inside the cave and found that Kyra and Nitro were cuddled up together. She had a blanket tossed over her legs while she used Nitro as a pillow.

"Luna?!" I heard Guv call to me. I turned back around and found him standing on his level and motioning for me to come down.

"Back up." I told him as I moved back a little ways then ran and jumped grabbing onto a rope, that Kyra and I put up. I slid down as soon as I quit swinging and saw that Guv was shaking his head.

"One of these days, you and your sister will get hurt doing that." He was like the father figure in the hole. "Anyway, there is a reason I called you down. It appears that we will have company shortly."

I frowned as I raised my goggles. "What kind of company?" I asked hoping that it wasn't who I thought.

"Riddick." Guv told me with a slight smile on his face. "I believe there are others after him but he is coming to get both you and Kyra."

I hissed and put my goggles back down. "Let him come." I turned and started towards the cave.

I didn't want anything to do with Riddick not after what happened only three months on the run. My hand went to my stomach but I pulled it away before anyone could see. It was my own pain and no one else knows how it feels to lose a child.

Not even Riddick.
