Chapter 2
Harry's dreams and thoughts became more settled and pleasant, he dreamed of his friends; the ever loyal Codey who wished to stay bonded to him even though he would sleep, Jaxlyx, the Goblin lord that helped build a place where he could rest and heal after so much pain.
His heart missed them, but he knew they would not want him in pain over their loss. Jaxlyx had even promised he would come back and hit him with a goblin made Hammer if he ever cried because of his death.
As everyone slept in their cryo chambers, they were unaware of the ship veering off course from the ghost lane it had been on. There was no reason why it did so, some would say fate, others a terrible accident waiting to happen on such a long route.
Riddick's thoughts came true, for not a week had passed before the lives of the passages change forever. The ship and its sleeping crew and passages passed through the tail of a passing comet.
As it passed through the ship began to shake, small rocks punched through the hull, causing the emergency computer to come online. It began to wake the crew from cryo, one of these crew was Carolyn Fry, the docking pilot. She let out a small moan as she woke, her eyes taking in the flashing red lights and hearing the alarm sound around the ship. In front of her the computer screen built into the cryo chamber appeared in the glass of the door.
EMERGENCY P280 HULL BREACH
Her brain wasn't awake enough to understand what was happening, another message appeared.
40 CRYO – LOCKERS INTACT AND OPERATIONAL
Under that it showed the names of her and the two other crew, there health and that the computer was waking them all.
She looked above the computer to see outside her cryo locker, opposite her, she could make out her captain and Nav. Officer still asleep.
Her eyes widen in horror as several small rocks shoot through the ship, and out of her captain's chest, killing him before he had a chance to fully awaken.
His life signs on the computer flat lined, her captain was dead.
Not taking her eyes off her dead captain she reached down and grabbed the release handle and pulled it, the doors opened and she fell to the ground as the gravity unit came online. Her crewmate, second in command Nav. Officer Owens fell on top of her when he pulled the release on his own cryo.
His mind still confused to what was happening, he didn't understand why the gravity was on. "Why did I fall on you?"
"He's dead, the captains dead!" Fry tried to say from under him. She was in shock, "I was looking right at him."
Owens seemed to not hear her as he slowly got off her and looked at his digi-watch, "Chrono show that we're 22 weeks out, so gravity wasn't supposed to kick in for another 19!"
He looked around in disbelief, his voice raised, "Why did I fall at all?"
"Did you hear what I said, the captains dead!" Fry said looking at him.
Owens stares at her before looking over to where the Captain Cryo-Locker was and sees the holes in the door.
Both got up and ran towards the front of the ship, grabbing a pair of flight suits that they put on as they started flicking switches and pressing buttons, trying to find out what the hell was going on.
"1550 millibars, dropping 20 MB per minute." She looked at the screen and flicked a few more buttons, "Shit, we're haemorrhaging air, something took a swipe at us."
"Come on, come on, just tell me we're still in the shipping lane, just show me all those stars!" Owens said to himself as he started up the screen to see outside.
"Come on, big bright…" he stopped talking when he turned and saw something that shocked him to the core, his eyes going wide in panic.
This caught Fry's attention and made her shoot out of her chair and lean over the station to see the screen. "What?"
On the screen it wasn't the stars that Owens had been begging for, but a planet that they were heading right at.
As they tried to send out a mayday, someone in back was waking up from their spelled sleep.
(What the hell!) This was Harry's first thought as he came out of his pleasant sleep. Opening his eyes he looked out his Cryo-Locker to see bright red lights flashing. He could hear the alarms blearing away, and the world around him shaking as if he was in an earthquake.
(What the fuck is going on?) Harry reached out and grabbed the cryo release handle, pulling it sharply his cryo door opens and he tries to climb out of the Locker, as a sharp jolt of the ship sending him flying out and onto the grated floor.
Groaning in pain at face palming the floor he slowly got to his knees, at another jolt he cursed loudly "FUCK!"
Alarms were going off as the ship started to shake even more violently, slowly getting to his feet, he reaches back and grabs hold of the locker to try and keep his balance as the ship rocks around him, he didn't understand what was happening but he could hear shouting coming from the front of the ship.
(The crew must be awake, thank Merlin.) Harry thinks as he moves toward the main cabin. He hides behind a metal pole and holds onto it, from there he can see into the cockpit. There was a man at one of the stations pressing buttons with slight panic to his movements.
He remembered him from when he got on the ship, even flirted with him; Owens, the Nav. Officer.
It worried Harry to see that Owens was panicking over his station, because it meant something was seriously wrong. (Fuck Merlin, this is only my second time in space!) Harry thought, pissed that something like this had to happen now. The ship rocked sharply, scaring Harry enough that his claws came out; and in the nick of time too as the ship rocked again even more, and would have sent him flying if he hadn't dug into the metal.
Suddenly Owens stopped both him and Harry could hear only static, he lifted his hand to his ear and asked in a serious voice, "Fry, where the hell is our coms?"
(Oh fuck!) Harry thought as he held on, he knew they were in trouble now, with no coms there was no calling for help.
Whatever this Fry was doing, she made the ship jerk forward shapely, Harry had to hold in a curse as his chest banged into the pole he was holding onto.
"What the fuck…was that a purge Fry?" He asked her over the com, Harry didn't know what a purge was but it didn't sound good.
"Too heavy in the ass, can't get my fuckin nose down!" She yelled over the coms.
Harry tried to place the voice, and remembered that one of the crew had been a short, blonde woman, she had reminded him too much of someone from his past with the snotty look on her face as he had come on board.
Harry got a really bad feeling about her, turning his attention back on Owens he watched the man flicking switches and reading information off his monitor out loud.
"...crisis program selected Number Two of this system because it shows at least some oxygen, maximum terrain 200 meters over mean surface, largely cinder and gypsum with some evaporite deposits. " he stops speaking when the door between him and the passengers closes, making him really scared at what his crewmate was doing.
Behind the closed doors Harry used his magic to hear what was going on in the cabin, his fear level raised both his creature sides, and his magic were starting to buzz wildly. They sensed the danger they were in and Harry got the funny feeling this Fry, woman was going to do something stupid, he felt it even more when he saw Death waiting in the background.
"Fry, what the hell are you doing?" Owens asked over the com, praying she wasn't doing what he thought she was doing.
"I've got to drop more load." She said calmly over the com, she knew it was the only way they were going to get out of this alive.
At her words Harry gritted his teeth, he understood that this bitch was going to eject the passage cabin, the same cabin he was in. Looking around he caught some eyes slowly opening.
The computer was waking everyone up, (and this bitch is going to kill them before they wake, shit, think Harry!) Harry's mind raced, he knew he would live but those behind him would die in those cryo lockers.
"Look I tried everything else, I still got no horizon!" She said over the com, trying to explain that it was the only way they were going to live through this crash.
"Well you better try everything twice. 'Cause there's no way we just flush out-." Owens called out but was interrupted.
"If you know something I don't, then get your ass up here and take the chair!" She said pissed.
"Company says we are responsible for every single one of those people, Fry!" Owens yelled out, he didn't know how she was even thinking about doing what she was doing, it was mass murder.
"What, we both die out of sheer fucking nobility, Owens?" Fry questioned sarcastically, there was no way she was going to die for people she didn't even know.
"Don't you touch that handle Fry!" Owens shouted in rage as he jumps from his chair and races to the doors. He turns a switch and presses a button to open them up, grabbing a metal pipe, he holds it in place between the doors and closes them on the metal. He wasn't going to let this bitch murder their passengers, no one deserves to die like that.
(Shit! That bitch is really cold!) Harry thought; he wasn't going to let that woman do what she was planning. Pulling his magic into his hand he is about to send it at the closed door when to his surprise, it opens up enough for him see Owens jamming a metal rod between doors to keep them from closing.
"I'm not gonna die for them!" she shouted as she pulled the lever.
Nothing happened.
"Air lock doors not secure." A female computer voice called out.
"Owens!" Fry screamed angrily, jacking down the lever again.
"Seventy seconds, Fry! You still have seventy seconds to level this beast out!" he shouted as he climbed back into his chair.
The ship jolted. "What the fuck is happening up there?" Owens shouted.
Harry tightened his grip on the metal pole, waiting for the impact. Suddenly, the ship crashed, the force of the landing throw him backwards, flying through the air he headed straight into a cryo-locker at the back of the passenger hold.
All Harry could feel was an explosion of pain in his back and the back of his head, and just as darkness was about to take him, his mind couldn't help thinking, (Give me a break.)
Then there was nothing but darkness.

Time change.
~Looks like I was right. ~ Riddick thought as the danger alarms started blaring above him, while through his blindfold he could see the emergency red lighting. Even with all the sound he could make out voices in the distance. ~Seems like the computer system has woken the crew up. ~
Riddick used his senses to get a picture to what was happening, he could hear two sets of feet rushing towards the front of the ship.
~Two out of three, one of the crew is dead.~ Riddick thought, he couldn't hear what was happening out front, but something else caught his attention. A cryo-Locker not far from him opened, and when the ship rocked sharply a body fell out groaning when it landed.
Interesting; passengers aren't supposed to wake during emergencies, unless it's for evacuation and not this fast. ~ Riddick listened as the person cursed, it was a male voice, and as their scent came to him he knew who it was.
~You get more and more interesting. ~ Riddick thought as he took in that mouthwatering scent, when he got free he was going to see who the owner of that scent belonged to.
He hadn't felt threatened by others in years, they had always had less skill, but this one. His animal side was weary, but at the same time wanted to dominate them, he wanted to show them who was top killer.
~Play later. ~ Riddick reminded himself as the ship around him started to fall apart as metal was torn from its hull.
The male had made his way to the front, and it wasn't long before Riddick couldn't hear him anymore. Taking his attention from the mystery he pulled at his restraints. They were still in place, so he will have to wait and see how this goes.
Riddick could hear faint yelling coming from the front, and as the ship shook even more than before he knew this beast was going down. On what planet he didn't know, but he will work around that when they've landed in one peace.
He heard movement close to him, when another pair of cryo doors opened he knew who was out.
~Picked the wrong time to wake up Johns. ~ Riddick thought, he felt the mercs' stare, always wanting to know where he was every second.
Suddenly, the ship crashes into the ground, the side of the ship starting to tear away like paper. Johns, who finally woke up enough from cryo to understand what was happening grabs onto a metal pole and holds on. He doesn't notice a body flying by him and hitting Riddick's cryo-Locker, but Riddick did.
~You are one luckily son of a bitch. ~ Riddick thought, as the rest of the hull went and started to pull out anything that wasn't nailed down. He didn't want the male dead yet; he wanted to play some to see what was so different about him from all the others he has faced.
Even with the wind blowing through the cabin Riddick picked up the scent of the interesting man. Hearing the pained groan over the all the other sounds he knew he was still alive, though most likely pinned in place by something as he wasn't flying out of the ship.
The ship began to slow, others in their lockers coming fully awake from cryo just as the ship stopped.
Riddick checked his restraints again, and pulling on them he noticed right away that they were no longer attached to the locker its self. They've come loose during the crash, his arms and legs still locked up but he could work with that. Moving forward he knew he couldn't lift his leg to smack the glass with the chains but he could use his knee. Slamming his knee forward the glass in front of him shattered, weak from the crash. Reaching up he took off the blindfold as he stepped out of the cryo-locker.
As he did so he nearly steps on someone who was lying beside it; bending down slowly, he looked at the one who had been playing on his mind since catching their scent.
He didn't look dangerous in the least, small build and slender frame made it seem like he was harmless. However, Riddick wasn't fooled by looks, he had been around enough to learn to never underestimate someone based on what they look like; beauty easily hid how deadly they could be.
Long black hair had come out from the pony tail it had been in, and hid the man's face from Riddick's eyes. Reaching down with his bound hands his moved it to one side, and got a good look at the male for the first time.
The thing he noticed was the old classical beauty the male had about him, his skin pale and smooth. Riddick noticed that he didn't have any blemishes but for a small scar that looked like a thunder bolt, that he wondered how it came about.
Taking his gaze from the scar he took in the rest of his features. His gaze falling on the man's lips that reminded him of the colour of blood. Letting the tips of his fingers touch the raven beauty's cheek and across his lips, he finds that they are as soft as he first thought. There was something else that caught his attention, the male was cool to the touch, much cooler than any human should be, so he files this away in his mind along with how beautiful the man was.
The scent of copper caught his attention, that's when Riddick noticed some blood trickling down from a small cut on his forehead. It was most likely from crashing into his cryo- locker, and looking over the body he saw the metal pole pinning him down. It was the most likely the thing that had saved him from being sucked out when the wall went.
Reaching down he grabbed the pole and moved it off the man.
~This creature is the one who has me on alert? Very interesting.~ Riddick thought, as the male turned his head, facing him more and letting out a moan of pain. He watched as the raven haired beauty's eyelids started to flutter, as though he's trying to wake up but couldn't quite make it.
Riddick run his hand down the side of his face, from the contact the male eyes open, they were clouded with confusion and dazed with too much pain to notice the man standing above him.
Sliver and emerald orbs meet briefly and Riddick can't help sucking in a deep breath as he takes in the colour that shines from those eyes.
It had been years since he had seen anything in a colour other than pinks and purples, not since that first slam. The eyes were a shade of green he couldn't remember ever seeing in his time, not even the rarest of jewels matched up to them.
That's when he noticed something that wasn't right with them, they shone with an impossible light, like they glowed with power that was hidden under the skin. This man was no human that was for sure, and Riddick couldn't wait to see what this man could do. Leaning down he watches those eyes, till they are once again hidden from view as the man's eyes flutter shut. He moans in pain and shakes his head slightly before he once again falls into darkness.
With one last run down that soft cheek he got up. Staring down at the man he couldn't help but not want to leave him, which was unusual in itself. He could see the man was a beauty and his scent made the animal side want to claim him and keep him at his side. Shaking his head he turned his attention away from the beauty, there would be time to play and get information later.
Hearing a noise near him he turned towards it, and saw the Blue-eyed Devil under some debris, he had stayed too long and now it looked like Johns was waking up.
~Don't want to be caught by Johns so early in the game, now do I? ~ Riddick thought, smirking as he faded into the shadows. He started to plan, and first thing was he needed to get these chains off, and only Johns had the keys.

In and out of consciousness, Harry could feel a strong hand caress his face and touch his lips gently.
He moaned in pain before blacking out again, and when he came back into the land of the living all Harry could think of was the pain that exploded at the back of his head as he moved. He took stock of his injuries, he could feel some pain in his back, most likely a large bruise was appearing there. There was some pain in his forehead and the back of his head, and there were other aches and pains, but not as bad as those.
Breathing slowly, he let his healing power wash over him, he was thankful that both his creature sides healed fast. With the wound healed over he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was that he was lying beside a cryo locker, though the glass of the door was broken. Looking around the cabin he was shocked to see how trashed it was, everything was broken or smashed in the crash, they were lucky to still be alive.
(More than lucky.) Harry though remember the docking pilots attempt in killing them. Getting up slowly he felt as though someone had hit him with a jelly-leg jinx as his legs wobbled and nearly bucked under him. Grabbing onto the cryo-locker he tried to steady himself. Once sure he could stand without aid, he let go of the locker and slowly walked through the ship.
All around him were the sounds of people talking or yelling out names of friends and loved ones. As he walked closer he saw some young boys, children, calling out for their father and by the sound of it the name Imam as they looked around them scared. Harry was about to go make his way over to them. He hated seeing children upset and after that crash they would be shaken and terrified.
But he didn't have to as a tall man in Arab clothing rushed to the children's side and pulled them into his arms, firing out questions in his language.
(This must be Imam their father.) Harry thought, seeing that the family would be fine he turned his attention to a skinny, pale man climbing out of a cryo-locker, and looking around in confusion. He climbed all the way out and started to walk around.
Harry watched the man for a minute before turning away. He was happy that some of the people made it, though by how many he was seeing, of the 40 people that came on board very few made it through the crash.
(No thanks to that bitch! I mean, I can understand being scared, but I would never sacrifice so many lived to save mine.) Harry growled inside, he will have to watch himself, if that blonde had lived, there was no telling what he would do to her.
Hearing a noise that broke him out of his thoughts, he turned and saw a couple working on a cryo-locker door with a blowtorch, hearing the movement inside he knew another person had made it through the crash.
When they were done they opened it and a teen boy rolled out.
"So I guess something went wrong." He said, looking up at them.
(Wrong indeed kid.) Harry thought before moving on to the front cabin. He had to know if the bitch and Owens survived the crash. His creature side growled and if anyone had been looking at him they would have seen his eyes flash blood red for a second.
Wrestling control over both his creature sides, he took a breath to calm himself. He was more upset over what she had tried to do than he had thought. His creature side wanted a piece of her for nearly finishing what Voldemort had started years ago.
(Calm Harry, your papa would be pissed to see you losing it so much control over a woman of all things, we are alive and even the kids made it. Get some control over yourself.) Harry thought to himself.
Stepping over some bent metal he watches his feet as he climbs over a fallen locker his head shooting up when a loud male voice screamed in pain. "Get it out of me!"
Getting closer, Harry stood in the shadows of the ship to take in the scene in front of him, Owens was on the ground still strapped into his chair with a long thin pole sticking out of his chest. The bitch was by his side, looking down at him in shock and sadness as she touched him gently on the chest.
The rest of the survivors gather around to see what was emitting such pained-filled sounds. He heard some gasp when they saw the Nav. Officer. Moving forward, pity filled Harry as he watched the scene in front of him. He wished he could save Owens, but he didn't have his bag that had what he would need to save the poor man, instead he could only watch as the poor man suffered.
"Don't touch it! Don't you touch that handle!" Owens yelled in pain.
Harry knew what he was talking about and so did Fry by the guilty look that flashed over her face. The glazed look in Owen's eyes indicated delusion as he stared at the ceiling.
"Leave it alone."
"Get it out of him."
"No, it's too close to his heart." Some of the survivors called out, as they watch helplessly as the man suffers in pain.
Harry watched as a hopeless look came upon Fry's face. Harry wished he could help but it was too late for Owens. Harry could feel Death coming to take him over to the other side just like when Severus died. Pain filled him thinking about his old friend and father figure
"There's some Anestaphine in the med-lock in the back of the cabin," Fry said to the passengers.
"Not anymore, there's not," the skinny British sounding man said as he looked to the back, only torn and bent metal rested there now.
"Get out of here, everyone." Fry said sternly, not wanting anyone to see her guilt over what had happened, behind her everyone stood, still in shock and not hearing her words.
When she noticed that no one had moved, she raised her voice and ordered. "Get out of here!"
Harry watched on as everyone went outside. (It's sad, really,) Harry thought. (Thanks to him we are all alive, yet he dies and the one who wanted to kill us still lives. Strange how Fate treats us, isn't it? I should know, she's fucked with my life long enough.) Harry stood back, partly in the shadows, taking one last look at Fry he moved to follow the others.
He knew she felt regret and guilt, he can smell the guilt coming off her strongly as she clings to Owens' dead body as he walked away.
