The group opened a door next to the windows and everyone that went with Riddick ran out. They all had a cloak around their shoulders that fluttered behind them with each step they took.
Riddick was at the front, then came Kyra and Guv, then Sarina and then the rest of the group. They all followed Riddick as he ran up a hill and out of sight of the prison-windows. Sarina tried to keep her mind off of the worries and doubts and focused her mind on the running.
The group ran along the rocky field as fast as they could. Riddick's pace was harsh on everyone but they knew that the stakes were high. If you fell behind, you were left behind.
Sarina jumped over a crack in the ground and saw a glimpse of lava in it. A small shiver ran over her back at the thought of falling in but she quickly pushed the thought away.
At some point they came across a hole in the ground. Riddick jumped over it with ease. Followed quickly by Kyra and then Sarina. Though the two women used the side of the hole as a leverage to be sure to get over it.
As they ran, Sarina saw Riddick suddenly jumping down between a crack in the ground that was long and wide enough for a person to walk through. Even if it was just. She let herself fall down and quickly followed Kyra. The younger woman ran through the cracks, taking twists and turns everywhere. Suddenly Kyra slowed down which made Sarina almost bump into her.
"Riddick?" she called while looking around. "Riddick?" she called again, her voice hinting with panic as she looked around but couldn't find him. After a few more turns she stopped. "Riddick?" she called softer with the rest of the group stopping behind her.
Just when she was about to think of him abandoning them, a cloak fell down. Everyone looked up and saw him motioning with his hands before he left.
"Go, go! Go on! Go! Climb here!" said Guv in the meantime while he and the others all ran after Kyra.
Sarina didn't hesitate and started climbing where she stood once Kyra stopped and started climbing up. Once on the top she helped Kyra when she came next up.
"Climb! Go, go, go!" urged Guv impatiently.
And he had good reason to be impatient. For the moment he came up he felt a bead of sweat roll down the side of his face and slowly turned around. Sarina looked up and her eyes widened.
"Oh hell." she muttered when she saw the hot rays of the sun slowly appearing.
She looked around and found Riddick. "Come on." he ordered while he ran off again.
She followed closely behind and then came Kyra and the others. They ran over the field, jumping over small gaps here and there. Riddick jumped down from a small ledge that came up on their path and when he landed in a crouch his eyes saw a guard peeking his head out from under a rock-like lid. He didn't stop though and just ran onwards. Sarina landed and followed after. They ran some more until they saw a large looming wall of pure ash come into vision. She cursed under her breath. She was already starting to have trouble keeping up with the stabs in her side but to run into that wall of ash wouldn't be good. She had abandoned her cloak when she had to climb up. Right now she was running in her black pants and white tank top. She was very grateful she had decided to put on the top that Kyra had given her. The sun wasn't even up yet and already she felt like a sweaty pig.
The group ran into the cloud and immediately their colorful clothes became quickly gray with ash, along with their hair. Sarina tried to see before her but it was difficult with the ash floating around. She hadn't realized she had slowed down a bit when Kyra gave her a small but rough push.

Finally she noticed that she was slowing down and quickly started running faster again.
They ran under some strange thing that was filled with holes. It was then that Sarina noticed that Riddick was gone. Frowning, she tried to remember parts of the movie but the parts about the running were a bit vague. Mentally shaking her head, she followed Kyra who seemed to be running in zigzag patterns. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Riddick standing on top of a rock. Turning her head a bit more she saw that the rock was actually a lid and saw the guards looking from under there with a gun in their hands.
Sarina followed Kyra quickly and stayed close to her. Kyra grabbed her hand and pulled her with her behind a rock. Sarina knew that if there was one person she knew she would be safe with, it was Kyra, well beside Riddick that is.
Suddenly gunshots were heard and one of the men in their group was hit. It was as if the shots were the sign, because not soon after everyone who had a gun in their hands, started shooting at the hole. The leader of the guards was shooting blindly from under the rocky lid. He couldn't see the prisoners because of all the ash falling from the sky.
Sarina and Kyra ducked behind a boulder and waited. Immediately behind the boulder, Kyra popped her head back over it to see where the guard was only to duck when a shot hit the boulder right next to her.
Sarina took the time to relax her body and to catch her breath. She knew she wouldn't get a second chance like this unless it was by the wall and even then it would be only if she was over it.
Kyra pulled out a gun from somewhere and jumped over the boulder. She started shooting at the lid while running towards it. Sarina rolled her eyes.
"What a temper." she mumbled before standing up when she heard the shooting stop.
She saw that Kyra was the only one shooting at the lid that, by the way, was closing. With an enraged cry she stomped her foot on top of it.
'She looks like a kid on a tantrum like that.' thought Sarina a bit amused while looking around until she found Riddick.
Looking around, she found a way to get to the small, rocky hill he sat on and climbed up to him. Just when she got to him, he turned around and started running again. She groaned. 'Damn him and his stamina.' she thought and started running after him.
The rest of the group followed a bit slower. Kyra quickly caught up to the pair though.
"What was that all about? You don't care if you live or die?" demanded Riddick while they were running.
"If I kill them first, not really." answered Kyra casually before all three of them jumped from the edge of a hill.
They all landed in a crouch. "Maybe I do." rumbled Riddick roughly while glancing over his shoulder before he turned forwards again. "Keep moving!" he barked while Sarina rolled her eyes.
"That's a 'yes' in Riddick language." she joked to Kyra who smiled before they ran over a large tree trunk.
Or at least one that looked like a tree. Sarina saw the wall come into vision and went faster. She wanted to be sure she made it. She was just a second before Riddick and quickly started climbing. Riddick followed and then all the others. Sarina tried to climb as fast as possible and slipped several times. She felt with her hand a groove and pulled herself up only to gasp when her right hand slipped a bit and cut her hand open on the edge of it. Hissing in pain, she resisted the urge to pull her hand back and climbed on.

Riddick had already past her during the climb. Her mind drifted back to the comment she made over Riddick of him being a monkey. The way he was climbing right now made her a bit annoyed. He made it look as if it was child's play.
"Damn monkey." she muttered annoyed and blindly grabbed for something to hold and pull her up but found nothing but air. Looking up, she saw that there was a flat side here. She cursed. Now she would have to jump.
'Damn it! And I'm already having trouble keeping up.' she thought frustrated and tears prickled in her eyes.
She blinked the tears away and looked to the right and then to the left and saw an opening. Taking a deep breath, she ignored the hammering of her heart and jumped. She caught herself. A smile grew on her lips before suddenly her feet slipped along with her hands but managed to tense her muscles and stop herself. Sighing in relief, she started climbing again. Slowly, the rocky wall started making way for deep grooves and wider space between the rocks. It made climbing all the more harder for her. She began to cry in frustration. She saw that she was just above Kyra. Swallowing, she looked around and noticed a rockier part on her right. Jumping, she landed but hissed when her cut up hand grabbed part of a rock that dug into her wound.
She felt the rays of the sun slowly grow hotter but ignored it in favor of focusing on her climbing. This part was a bit easier for all the small lumps it had. The lumps made her almost walk the wall up. Almost. Sarina started climbing a bit faster while a small flame of hope started burning in her chest. But she knew that she wasn't safe yet.
"Kyra? Sarina?" came the warning call from Riddick.
Her breath hitched and her eyes widened. Cursing, she started climbing faster only to notice she had to jump, again.
"Shit!" she cried out loud in frustration before looking around and then saw a rocky part on her left.
"Kyra! Sarina!" came the call again from Riddick.
"What?!" screamed Kyra frustrated back while Sarina ignored them and just kept on climbing.
"Get those asses moving!" roared Riddick.
She cursed some more under her breath. 'If I make it out of here alive, then I'm gonna do something about my climbing skills.' she thought and grabbed a rock and pulled herself up.
A part of her mind noted in panic that the rocks under her hands were starting to heat up. Sarina was almost there when the rays suddenly became burning hot. She cried out in pain before she felt two pair of hands grab her arms and quickly pulled her up. She fell to the floor and quickly ducked behind a boulder to escape the hot rays of the sun. Her shoulders burned slightly in pain. Looking around she saw that Riddick was standing across from her. A soft sigh of relief escaped her lips before it was replaced by a gasp of worry when she remembered Kyra was still down there.
"Kyra." she whispered before a throbbing pain in her hand made her aware of the cut in her right hand again.
She winced, the cut wasn't that deep but still had a lot of dirt in it. She grabbed her flask with water and carefully poured a bit over it. She hissed in pain before she stopped pouring and then took a small swig. She looked over her body for something to use as bandages but found none. She would have taken her top if it wasn't so short already. It stopped an inch under her bellybutton.
"Riddick?" came a sudden cry from below them. "Remember what I said about not caring if I lived or died?" came the question from Kyra. "You knew I was kidding, right?" she asked further and both Sarina as well as Riddick could hear the hitch in her voice.
Sarina wanted to help but she was no use in this part. Sadly, this was something Riddick would have to do. She wasn't such a rope-swinging Tarzan like he was. Riddick glanced at Guv and he shook his head.
"One speed." he said in a hoarse voice.
Sarina glared up at him and gave him a soft tap against his leg.
"Asshole! That's my little sister you're talking about!" she snapped, angry that he would say something like that even though she knew from the movie he would say that.

Still, she couldn't help but be angry when he said that. Riddick glanced down at her. Sarina felt his gaze and looked up. Her face held a pleading look. Suddenly, they all heard the sounds of faint explosions while the ground under their feet rumbled. Taking a chance, she glanced from behind the ledge only to pull her face back just as quickly when she felt her face dehydrate immensely. But she had seen what was making those sounds. She hadn't had to look to know it, for she knew it from the movie. Still, the sight had her interest peaked. A wall of fire was coming their way and Sarina shuddered at the thought of being caught in it.
"Temperature differential." whispered Guv while staring at the wall of fire from within the shadows.
"Your rope." ordered Riddick suddenly.
"It's too late. We're never gonna make it now." said the man next to Guv. Sarina arched an eyebrow.

"Pessimist." she hissed at him with a frown, making him glance over at her.
"Your rope! Gimme your rope!" barked Riddick harshly.
Sarina knew what was coming and already threw her flask of water to him. He caught it without missing a beat. Guv pulled the rope off of him and handed it to Riddick.
"And your water. All of it!" barked Riddick again.
Sarina hoped that he and Kyra would be okay. She was still worried that her coming here had changed everything. But so far, nothing has changed too badly.
"Stay in the shadow of the mountain." said Riddick while Guv and his friend glanced behind them at the dark side of the mountain. "Don't wait for me. Run!" barked Riddick out while pointing his finger.
Sarina stood up. "Good luck." she whispered before turning around and followed after Guv and his friend.
They made their way easily down the mountain through the grooves of it and were now on the field running towards the hangar. Sarina glanced around her every once in a while. She glanced back again to see if Riddick and Kyra where already in sights and smiled while breathing a sigh of relief when she saw Kyra close-by. Suddenly a silhouette passed her by and grabbed Guv's ankle, stopping him.
"Listen." said Riddick softly when Guv glanced down.
Sarina knew what was behind the mountain but didn't care, she hugged Kyra tightly.
"Thought I almost lost you there for a moment." she told the younger woman softly.
Kyra hugged her back just as tightly. "For a moment there, I thought so too." she whispered back before they pulled back and smiled at eachother.
They then let go and listened just like the others. They all heard a humming sound come from over the hill they were laying on. Riddick crawled on all fours a bit further to the right while keeping his head ducked. Kyra followed him along with Sarina. Once they came to the edge of the hill, they saw a whole troop of necromongers standing by the hangar. They all slide back a bit and Kyra looked at Riddick.
"Let me guess. Necros." she said.
"And a whole lotta necro firepower." added Riddick to her sentence.
"Shit! I hate not being the bad guys." hissed Kyra.
Sarina rolled her eyes at her comment. She didn't know what to do before she saw Kyra start to fumble with her hair. Mentally shrugging, she followed her lead and did the same to her hair, tying it in a bun.
"I figure we got three minutes before the sun hits us again, burns us out this whole valley." stated Kyra while looking at the wall of fire that was against the mountain.
"Wait." said Riddick calmly.
"We gonna do this or not?" questioned Kyra a bit irritated.
"Just wait." he told her calmly while motioning with his hands.
Sarina in the meantime looked down at her hand and winced. There was dirt in her wound again.

She plucked a bit of the dirt out of it with disgust before she made up her mind and took out the dagger. She grabbed the edge of her shirt before turning to Kyra who had pulled out her guns already.
"Kyra? Little help?" she asked making the woman turn to her.
Seeing her hold up a dagger and a part of her shirt, she looked questioningly at her. Sarina held up her wounded hand.
"Need something to cover the wound to keep it from getting more dirt in it." she answered her unspoken question.
"Ellen." spoke Guv suddenly, making Riddick glance at him. "Her name was Ellen. I never really forgot." he admitted.
Sarina glanced over at him while Kyra grabbed the edge of Sarina´s shirt and started ripping it. She tore a strip off her top and then handed it to her. Sarina muttered a soft thanks and quickly bandaged her hand. She didn't like it but she had been in need of something to bandage her wound. Sadly, her top was now far more shorter. Now it only came to a few inches above her bellybutton.
All of a sudden they heard gunshots and screams and everyone turned their heads in the direction of the hangar. She finished tying her hand when Riddick spoke.
"Remember that favorite game of yours?" he asked Kyra while dusting his hands off a bit.
"'Who's the better killer?'" asked Kyra calmly while looking up at Riddick who stared right back.
"Let's play." he told her before he pulled a shiv out of his boot and turned around and left.
"Come on!" ordered Kyra while following after him with Guv and his friend close on her heels.
Sarina hesitated. She didn't know what to do. She could barely fight and had never killed before. What was she to do? She gripped her dagger tighter in her hand. Swallowing nervously, she quickly ran after the others. She stopped when she heard Guv's cry.
"On the right!" while she saw his back just disappear around the hill.
This was it. Today she would probably have to make her first kill. She remembered Riddick's words. She was here on her own accord, not his. Swallowing, she decided to go for the sneaky way and instead of going over the hill did she go left of it. She held her head low while looking to the side and front. Hoping to keep herself long enough hidden to attack. She saw two necromongers come this way. Swallowing, she glanced at their hands and saw that they both held a gun in their hands. A plan quickly appeared in her mind and with one last hesitation, she silently appeared from behind the boulders behind them. She jumped and brought the dagger down on the one on the right. It struck him right in the back of his neck while she fell with him to the ground. The necro next to her quickly turned her way and she pulled her dagger out while grabbing for the gun that she saw out of the corner of her eyes. She grabbed it and without thinking she fired it in the necromonger's chest. He flew back and Sarina shivered. Her hands shook and it took all of her willpower not to break down and cry.
She had just made her first kill.
