Recap: Luna knew what was going to happen. They were going to leave them.

"Get them to the flight deck." ordered Riddick to Imam.

"It's just aft, upper level." said Imam, knowing what he was talking about.

Luna knew what they were planning but she had to ask the question. "What are you two gonna do?" she asked curiously and worried at the same time.

"Yeah. Stow in there and let whatever's following pass." continued Riddick as if Luna hadn't asked anything.

"We're gonna give that fucker a surprise he's never gonna forget." answered Blade with a smile.

Luna shuddered at his smile, but felt at the same time fluttering in her stomach. 'More killing.' she thought with a small frown. Riddick rolled his neck, causing it to crack loudly.

"When it has passed, make for the flight deck and don't look back. No matter what you hear," finished Riddick, as he motioned for Imam to go to the spot between a machine and the wall to his right. Imam followed the orders and climbed in the small space, followed by Jack.

Luna stayed put and turned to the two convicts. "Be careful." she whispered softly, glancing from one man to another. Blade hummed, while Riddick merely frowned. Sighing, she climbed in the space also and sat down as far away from the opening as possible.

"We'll wait for you." called Jack as she shifted her body over Luna's and peeked her head out to watch Riddick and Blade run.

"Follow Imam, growled Riddick as he pulled out his shiv.

Luna bit her lip. She felt scared and worried. Scared for the creature that followed the duo. Afraid that it would attack them instead.

'You never know. There have been so many changes that I wouldn't be surprised if that thing would also do it differently from the movies.' she thought and silently prayed that the duo would be alright. 'Please come back safely,' she prayed silently, before shifting away from the entrance of their little hideout.

Accidentally she stepped on Jack's foot. "Hey! Watch it!" she hissed making Luna flinch back and gave her a shaky smile.

"Sorry." she mumbled and shifted back to where she sat.

"What're you so worried about? They're Riddick and Blade! They'll be-…!" Jack was cut off by Imam's hand as he placed it over her mouth and pulled her closer to him.

Luna knew what was going to come next and held her breath, praying that whoever would pass wouldn't find them. In the back of her head she absently wondered when she had started praying so much.

They heard footsteps coming their way and Luna wrapped her arms around herself. Silent fear of returning to Junner caused her to stay frozen in her spot. Unable to breathe, unable to move, unable to talk.

The footsteps closed in before they all saw several mercs running right passed them. After they were away she still didn't dare to move, let alone breathe. Imam pulled his hand from Jack's mouth.

Once the mercs were away Imam and Jack relaxed, but Luna was still tense.

"Now where do we gotta go to meet up with Ridd-…!" once again was Jack cut off by Imam who placed a hand over her mouth and a finger against his lips.

"Jack, shh." ordered Imam softly.

Heavy mechanical footsteps came closer and closer. Luna and Jack's eyes widened at the sounds. Luna placed her hands over her mouth to silence her own whimper. Jack, on the other hand, shook as the footsteps came closer and closer, louder and louder.

Suddenly, seemingly in slow-motion, the creature passed their hiding place just as he roared. It took all Luna had not to move back. The thing was even more horrible in real life! Not to mention its smell.

Her body shook as she watched the creature walk away, unconsciously she shifted closer to Jack's. Once they were sure it was gone Imam took his hand off of Jack's mouth. Imam glanced over at Luna who sat frozen in her place, shaken and slightly pale. He placed a gentle hand on her arm and she flinched under the touch.

"You alright, my child?" he asked softly and she shakily pulled her hands from her mouth and gave him a weak nod, not trusting her own voice to answer him.

Imam then stood up and carefully climbed over her and peeked his head out. Jack followed after him after giving Luna's shoulder a squeeze and stuck her head out also. Finding it safe Imam stepped out in the open as Jack turned to Luna and held out her hand. Luna glanced at the hand and it took a moment before she finally moved and took the silent offer. Once she was on her feet she breathed in air, not realizing she had been holding her breath the whole time.

As if on cue she felt her body slowly relax once she had some air in her lungs. Knowing the danger was gone she took a few deep breaths to calm her erratic heart. Imam looked at her with concern and Luna took a few steps forwards just to make sure her legs wouldn't give out on her.

Jack stared down the hall where Blade and Riddick had disappeared. Luna knew what she was thinking and placed a hand on her shoulder for comfort. The action made the young teen glance up at her with worried filled eyes.

"We've got to help them Luna." started the preteen as she glanced from Luna to Imam, "We can't help them if we leave," whimpered the girl softly.

Luna squeezed her shoulder comfortingly. "I know it's hard but we'll only be in the way," she told her and Imam walked up to them with a nod.

"She is right. Sometimes the only way to help is to stay out of the way. Now come. We need to get to the flight deck," he ordered gently, as he placed a hand on Jack's other shoulder before he turned and walked away. Luna also let go of her and walked after Imam, followed in tow but only with reluctance was Jack.

The trio ran through the halls with Imam taking the lead. Almost there, they came to a T-joint and had to duck out of the way when Imam saw a merc running from the left. They hid around the corner and Luna pressed a hand against Jack's chest to keep her from peeking.

They heard the merc slow to a walk and listened as he stopped. All three tensed when they heard the merc come their way. Each step seemed to make everyone tenser and tenser.

"Hey! What the hell ya doin'? There has been sightings of those two assholes in sector 4." called a male voice suddenly. They heard the person take steps away from them.

"Nothin'. Thought I saw somethin'." replied the other man before they heard the footsteps walk away from them.

"Leave it. If we catch Riddick and Blade then we'll have enough money to retire! This is a golden opportunity, man." chattered the other man as they heard both men walk away.

Once they didn't hear them anymore they came out of their hiding place. "Come, we must hurry." urged Imam before he started running again with the two girls in tow.

The trio had found a way through the vents that led directly to the flight deck. Imam was at the top with Jack after him and Luna last.
Luna was worried about Riddick and Blade. She hoped that any more changes made to the movie would be in a good way.
Imam struggled with the panel above his head and finally got it loose. He pushed it up and to the side, before he stuck his head out.
Something suddenly hit him over the head and knocked him out cold. The man was then pulled out of the vents and thrown to the side.
"Hurry, Jack, we don't have much time before we run into more trouble." Luna hissed from below as she waited for the preteen to climb out.
"Sorry Luna, I'm just worried about Riddick and Blade. We shouldn't have left them like that." said Jack, sadness coloring her tone.

"We had to Jack, unlike us, they know how to look after themselves and with us out of the way they have more of a chance of getting to the ship while distracting the mercs and that thing." Luna explained. She was worried as well but knew those two could take on anything.
Jack suddenly got lifted out as she gave out a cry.
"Jack!" cried Luna out.
"I would come out if you do not want the child to die, my little slave," a dark voice said above her.
'Oh no, Junner!' Luna thought, panicked. She could feel herself starting to shake as fear rushed through her body. Taking a deep breath, she called up. "O-okay I'm coming out, just don't hurt her," she pleaded softly, as she slowly climbed out of the vent.

Once she was out she was grabbed by the neck and shoved against the machine behind her. She gasped in pain and glanced at Junner's face through narrowed eyes, as his hand cut off some of the oxygen to her lungs. In his eyes she could not only see a sadistic glint, but also her own fear reflecting back at her.
In Junner's other hand, he had Jack around the neck. The young girl was giving him the finger, while trying to kick him. Luna's eyes widened slightly at the gesture.
'No Jack! Don't piss him even more off!' she yelled in her mind and opened her mouth to warn her, but it was too late. Junner pulled Jack closer to him for a moment before slamming her as hard as he could against the wall, right next to Luna.
Jack's head hit the wall with a loud smack and then Junner threw her to the ground next to Imam. Three mercs stood next to the two with guns in their hands. All had grins on their faces that promised nothing good.

"Jack!" cried Luna, half-choking, worried for her health and what those mercs would do. She started struggling against his grip, seeing that he had no one else to threaten her with anymore she saw no more reason to be obedient.
"Let me go!" she screamed, but halfway through, her sentence cut off when he tightened his grip. A choked gasp came from her mouth, as she started clawing at his hand, trying in vain to get him to let go.

She tried to kick him in the groin, but he blocked her attempts with ease. As for clawing at his arm, the fabric of his clothes protected him easily enough to not have to do anything about it.
She needed to get out of his grip and get to Jack. She was afraid that he had slammed her too hard and that she had a concussion or worse.

"Let me go, you bastard!" she choked.

"Be quiet, slave. The girl is fine. But for how long is up to you." said Junner, a dark smile on his face as he at the same time stepped closer.

She shuddered at the closeness and was very reluctant to ask her next question. "W-what do you… want?" she asked with a choke, terrified of the answer.
"What I want, my dear…" Junner grinned "is for you to obey me like a good slave should," he told her and chuckles rose up from the three mercs. All three were thoroughly enjoying themselves. They knew what was coming.
"And right now some compensation will do for disobeying my orders," said the man and her face paled considerably. Not only from his words but also because of something hard poking her stomach.
Her eyes widened at the realization of what he truly wanted and her body started shaking. "And if you don't do as I say, well, my men are lonely…" Junner trailed off, as he motioned with his free hand at the three men.

The trio hooted and laughed at his words, eager to get her in their hands.
Memories of what Derek tried to do to her flashed before her eyes. Silent tears started gathering in her eyes at the thought of them. 'Not again. Please God, not that.' she mentally pleaded and whimpered out loud.
Junner smiled darkly and shifted his hold on her neck a bit so that her head tilted upwards. Seeing that she was a head smaller than him and all. He brought his face slowly closer to hers and she shook harder the closer he got.

The two of them were so in their own little world that neither noticed the twin growls that filled the room.

The three mercs did though and they instantly turned their gazes to their left where they saw Blade and Riddick standing.
They quickly fumbled for their guns and aimed them at the duo. Neither Blade nor Riddick cared for the three mercs, sparing them barely a glance, as they kept their gazes on the man that held Luna hostage.
"Let her go," growled a gravelly voice from behind them. Junner's whole body tensed at the voice and he whirled around, taking Luna with him as he did.
Blade and Riddick watched the duo, but stayed where they were as Junner quickly grabbed his gun blade and held the sword against her neck. Luna gasped when she saw them, before she whimpered softly as the blade was put against her throat.
"We ain't asking again, fucker. Let. Her. Go." snarled Blade coldly, as he tightened his grip on his sword.

Junner smiled. "Mr. Riddick and Mr. Blade, how nice of you to join us," greeted the man with a sneer, ignoring their commands. Neither answered as they glared at him from behind their respective glasses.
The three mercs loaded their guns and took aim, but lowered them when Junner made a motion with his gun, pulling the blade away from Luna's throat at the same time.
Riddick punched his hand as he stalked closer. "It's us you're after. You wanna shot at the title?" growled the Furyan deeply, and he stopped once he stood only a few feet in front of the pair.
Blade in the meantime turned to the three mercs and tensed his body slightly, ready to attack when the chance came. Junner's smile disappeared and he threw Luna to the side.
She landed with a cry on her hands and side and glared up at him through tear-filled eyes.

The mercenary completely ignored her glare and calmly took off his coat, revealing his muscled chest. Luna watched as the man split his sword from his gun and threw the gun away.
"You three, take care of Mr. Blade, while I take care of Mr. Riddick here." ordered the man as he and Riddick started circling each other. The latter, in the meantime, pulled his shiv out of its sheath and held it up. Both took a fighter's stance as they stared at one another.
At the same time Blade cracked his neck before he looked at the three mercs with a smile, showing off his longer-than-normal fangs. The three mercs stepped away from the unconscious bodies of Imam and Jack and spread out until they had Blade in the middle. They thought to have an advantage by doing this.

Luna in the meantime, stood up and glanced from one convict to another. She knew from the movie that Riddick would be okay and Blade was the same. The three mercs had no chance against him but that didn't mean she shouldn't worry.
Her gaze drifted to her unconscious friends and gritted her teeth. She couldn't get to them without getting in Blade's way. A growl behind her made her turn around and she saw that Junner and Riddick had started battling.
Her attention drifted to Blade and the three mercs. 'There's got to be a way to get him out of the circle.' she frowned and looked around. There was nothing she could use.
Cursing she glanced down at herself and grimaced. 'Not the best idea but at least it's something,' she thought and slowly walked to the group, making sure they didn't notice her.
Once she was a bit closer she suddenly turned and ran for the merc in front of her. It was the one on Blade's left. The man had his back to her which made him the easiest target of the three. With a cry, she threw herself at him just when he turned around as his friend warned him of her.

The duo landed in a heap of limbs on the ground and Luna tried to grab the gun out of his hands but his grip was too strong. "Blasted wench!" cried the merc, as he used the butt of his gun and hit her over the head. With a soft yelp she landed on her back and the man wasted no time in standing up and pointing his gun at her.

Blade had seen her coming and didn't know if he should be amused by her actions, or annoyed. The other two mercs kept their guns on him but their sight was distracted by her presence.
It was enough of an opening for him. He turned to the one on his right and threw a roundhouse kick at the man. The man had seen him move and had pulled the trigger. But due to the kick, his aim was thrown off and instead he shot his friend in the shoulder.
The man cried out and Blade wasted no time as he dashed towards him. The wounded merc lifted his gun with one hand when he saw him coming and fired.
Blade dodged and swung his sword. Blood splattered the ground around the man as the sword cut him almost in half, starting from his right hip to the middle of his chest.
The Daywalker pulled his sword out with a sickening squelch and turned to the merc he had kicked. But just when he turned to the man, his attention was pulled to the other merc.

Luna saw stars when the gun hit her head. Completely dazed from the hit, she helplessly let herself be pulled up by the merc. That man wrapped an arm around her middle, making sure her arms were locked in place and held his gun at her head.
"Don't move, Blade! Unless you want a hole in the wench's pretty li'l head." threatened the man which made Blade growl and bare his teeth at the man.
At that moment the other merc recovered from the kick and pointed his gun at him again. "Ya betta put yer sword down or I'll blow yer fuckin' head off, ya bastard," snarled the man, as he spat out some blood from his mouth.

In the meanwhile Riddick was busy fighting off Junner. The duo exchanged blows and swung their sword/shiv at one another. Both dodged the other's weapon but got a hit from each others' fist.
Junner swung his sword at Riddick with a cry, who ducked and delivered a punch to his head. Junner stumbled back a few steps and Riddick came at him. The two circled before Junner tried to behead Riddick, but the Furyan ducked under the sword again.
Junner used the momentum of his own swing and delivered a roundhouse kick to Riddick's head. The convict ducked again, but just when he lifted his head had Junner stopped the swing of his leg and threw his leg, while it was still in the air, the other way.
This time it hit the other man in the head. Riddick stumbled back and Junner shot forwards, trying to stab him with his sword. The convict dodged but instead of moving aside, he tackled the other man by the middle. He moved forwards until Junner's back hit the ship behind him.

The man let out a grunt from the impact. Riddick used the opening to place his right arm against Junner's throat while at the same time grabbed the man's hand that held the sword. He tried to stab Junner with his shiv but the other man grabbed his wrist and stopped him in mid-descent.
The duo struggled as they tried to overpower one another. Both grunted and growled under the strain, but neither gave. Suddenly, Junner brought his foot up and kicked Riddick in the face, effectively pushing him away.
The two slashed at each other, their blades clashing each time as they blocked each others' blows. Junner swung his sword again with a cry and Riddick blocked it, but the swing caused his shiv to fly out of his hand.

Now disarmed, Riddick dodged the swings of Junner's sword and grabbed his arm with two hands and twisted the man's hand so that the tip of the sword was aimed at Junner's face. The man instantly let go of his sword but kicked Riddick in the back of his knee. The blow caused Riddick's grip to loosen and Junner freed himself.
Now both disarmed, the duo threw punches at each other. Some missed, some hit, but neither man backed down, both determined to win the battle.

Blade was clenching his sword tightly and bared his teeth.
Luna had finally recovered from the blow and noticed the situation she was in. Gritting her teeth she struggled to get loose. The cold barrel of the gun silenced her struggles and made a soft whimper be heard.
"Put yer sword down and yer hands on yer head," said the merc next to Blade as he slowly stepped closer. Blade growled but stayed put, moving not an inch.
Luna saw him standing there and frowned. She felt guilty for bringing him to a situation like this. Back when she thought of it, it seemed like a good idea. But now… now it seemed like the worst mistake there was.

'There's gotta be something I can do to change this situation.' she thought frantically and thought back to all the movies she had watched. She blinked when she remembered a scene of a movie. 'That's it! Why didn't I think of this sooner?' she thought to herself and a small smile appeared on her face.
Blade noticed the smile on her face and wasn't sure if he should feel worried at the sight of it. The answer came quickly after when she lifted her leg slowly and then brought her foot back as hard as she could. The merc grunted and his grip loosened.
It was all she needed. She twisted her arms out of his grasp and quickly pushed the gun away. At the same time she once again threw her weight back and both fell and landed on the ground. But this time she made sure her elbow landed hard in his side.
The man groaned and his grip loosened even more. Luna quickly grabbed the merc's hand that held the gun and attempted to get it out of his grasp.

Blade took the distraction and ducked to the side and did a low sweep to the legs of the merc in front of him. The man let out a startled yelp as his feet were kicked from under him. Blade twirled his sword in his hand until the tip was pointing down and stabbed the merc in the middle of his chest.
The man cried out as the sword pierced him and his hands instinctively let go of the gun and went for the sword. Blade pulled his sword back out and twisted it in his hand before he swung it down and cut the man's head clean off.

Luna, in the meantime, struggled to get the gun out of the remaining merc's hand, but the man was a stubborn one and had long since recovered from the blows. He rolled them both over so that she lay under him and he ripped his gun out of her hands and held it up and in her face again.
"You fucking whore! I've had enough of your actions," growled the man as he slowly pulled the trigger with a smile on his face. Luna's eyes widened fearfully and she held her breath.
All of a sudden, the merc was pulled off of her and thrown several feet away where he landed on the ground with a cry.
Luna blinked, before she noticed she hadn't been breathing and inhaled sharply. Her hands were shaking badly from the struggle. She had been so afraid she wouldn't get the gun out of his hands and at the last moment her fear came actually true. It had only been thanks to Blade's help that she had been saved, again.
The tall, dark man was staring down at her, before he turned to the merc that he had thrown away. The man was slowly getting back to his feet.
Luna watched Blade stalk towards the man and she wasn't sure what she had seen but she swore she had seen a flicker of anger cross his face. But Blade was normally emotionless! He wouldn't show anger over a stupid incident as this. Would he?

Riddick had still been trading blows with Junner. An elbow from Junner, a kick to the groin from Riddick, all kinds of blows flew around them.
Most of the blows hit their target. Until at some point Junner managed a good right hook to Riddick's face causing him to stumble back. Junner took the opportunity and ran at him and sent a jump kick to the other man's chest.
With a groan Riddick landed against a wall that, because of the hit, got the metal plate to fall off and a cable fell to the ground. Junner watched him for a second before he turned around and picked up his sword.
He turned back to Riddick and walked up to him while he swung his sword a few times. Riddick's gaze was still on the cable and he noticed a small loop in it.

A plan hatched in his head.

Junner lifted his sword and swung it with a cry. Riddick duck-rolled out of the way and landed next to the cable. He picked it up and with a skillful snap of his hand the cable flew through the air. The loop of the cable flew with a twist over Junner's head and locked him in place.
Riddick started pulling hard at the cable and Junner pulled back. He strained to keep himself in place and without thinking of the consequences, he lifted his sword and cut the cable in two.

The lights of the whole deck flickered before they went out with a loud snap.
Junner's eyes widened when he realized what he had done. Footsteps slowly approached him as Riddick pulled his goggles off and stalked closer.
Now in his element, he lifted his shiv and once he stood in front of Junner, he brought the shiv down and stabbed it right into Junner's left eye. Riddick growled as he pushed the shiv deeper, while Junner screamed in pain.
Neither moved for a moment, before Junner's body fell back and landed with a dull thud on the ground where he stayed motionless on the floor.

Meanwhile back with Luna, the lights had just gone out. She blinked and looked around. "W-what happened?" she whispered in question as she glanced around to try and see what was happening.
For a second she wondered what had happened as her brain couldn't figure it out. Then it clicked. Memories of the movie flashed in her mind and she gasped as her eyes glanced over to where she last saw Riddick. She opened her mouth to say his name, when suddenly there was a yell from Riddick's side and then followed by another from the last merc.

Her head whipped from one side to another as curiosity filled her being, wanting to know what happened even though she knew from the movie what had happened to Junner.
'But it could also be Riddick. The movies have changed so much it could have been him who died.' she thought to herself and worry rose up for the bald convict.
Then, the emergency lights slowly lit up. Her eyes instantly caught sight of Riddick who stood over a now dead Junner. The latter having died with a shiv through his eye-socket. "I told you that was coming," she heard him rumble and smiled before a gurgle from the right caught her attention.

Turning to the sound, she watched with a gasp as Blade held the merc's head to the side by his hair and one of his arms locked behind him with his other hand.
Blade was slowly drinking the man dry. That man groaned as his struggles slowly became weaker and weaker.

Luna didn't know what she had to think of the sight, but a strange fluttering filled her chest. The sight of him drinking was slightly… erotic.
A soft groan pulled her out of her reverie and she turned to the sound. Imam was slowly waking up, making her gasp. "Imam!" she cried and quickly scampered towards him.
She landed on her knees beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright?" she asked worriedly as she looked at where he held his head, but saw nothing but a small bump.

Riddick watched her fuss over the man, before glancing at Blade who was silently walking over to him, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand as he did. Both stared at one another for a moment before glancing at the girl that was worrying over Imam.
Their inner beasts growled softly in jealousy. They ignored their beasts and firmly pushed away the jealousy. There was nothing to be jealous about. She was merely a friend, nothing more.

Once Luna got Imam to his feet she turned to Jack and gently lifted her upper body in her arms. "Hey, Jack. Wake up." she whispered softly, as she gently tapped the girl's cheek. "Come on, Jack, wake up," she continued, hoping desperately that she wasn't dead.
A soft groan came from Jack before her eyes fluttered open. Luna smiled when she saw them open and hugged her. "You're okay." she said before pulling away and helped the girl back on her feet.
"Y-yeah. What happened?" asked Jack groggily.
Luna grinned, "Riddick and Blade kicked ass, that's what happened," she told her and a smile appeared on Jack's face.
"Cool!" she said happily and looked around. Her gaze fell on the downed mercs and a look of awe came over her face.
"Wish I could've seen it," she whispered, which made Luna cringe but said nothing. It wouldn't have mattered. She was too much obsessed with the duo. It would've fallen on deaf ears. But if she herself had a choice in it she would never see people die again and neither would Jack.
She stood up with a sigh. 'Finally it's over.' she thought tiredly, as she followed Riddick and Blade. Riddick pulled the handle to open the ship when Luna's eyes spotted a big gun lying on the ground. She walked over to it and picked it up. It was a bit heavy, but she ignored that little fact. She admired the gun as she turned it on one side and then the other.
What she wouldn't have given to shoot Junner with this.

Hearing heavy breathing behind her, she spun around and saw Antonia looking crazy and holding two guns to Riddick and Blade. Two shots fired and echoed throughout the room as both fell to the floor groaning.
"Back to hell with you both! You bloody stinking savages!" she screeched angrily.
