Chapter15: Changes

Riddick stormed back to colony six, dragging the robotic carcass behind him, and charged through the mess hall and back to the room where he left Kane and his goons.

"Here! HERE'S YOUR FUCKING DIAVOLO!!!" Riddick yelled as he threw the immobile pile of steel on the ground

"What the FUCK WERE YOU TRYING TO PULL ASSHOLE!"

"Just calm down Riddick," Kane said patiently.

"I AM CALM…IF I WASN'T YOUR HEAD WOULD BE LYING AT YOUR FUCKING FEET!"

"Now listen…"

"FUCK YOU!"

"I said LISTEN! NOW SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR FIVE GODDAMN SECONDS!" Kane shouted as spittle flew from his mouth.

"I don't take orders," Riddick grated.

"You do now…"

"Do I?" Riddick challenged.

"Kahn, Helos…"

"Don't you fucking try it."

"Now Riddick do you actually think that you could kill the three of us and make it past the mess hall alive?"

Riddick understood when he was fucked and hastily sat down, shiv in hand.

"Good boy."

That only caused to piss Riddick off even more and he lunged at Kane aiming for his throat, but Helos and Kahn were ready and shoved Riddick away knocking him into the wall alongside Kane.

"Don't try and fuck with me Riddick," Kane said coolly, "You're on my territory now and when I say do something you do it WITHOUT QUESTION!"

Riddick slowly stood up from the floor and sat by the chair closest to the exit waiting for Kane to speak.

Kane sat down across from Riddick, Kahn and Helos standing on either side of him with weapons drawn, and the maddened look in his eyes was gone. He looked normal, not as weary or tired as he appeared the first time Riddick had met him, and his men, as well, seemed in better health.

"Just what the hell are you trying to pull Kane?"

"We faked you out, made us look pathetic and strung out, weak and desperate, but like I said before, we need the diavolos, Lycon sent them here to guard that pit, but we don't know why. We need someone to kill them and…"

"Lemme guess I'm the unwilling volunteer?"

"Well…"

"Fuck you…I'm no guinea pig to use on suicide missions."

"You will go back there and kill the clan of them or you can die here, in the torture chambers…the choice is yours."

"YOU FUCKING PRICK!!!"

"Now, now Riddick lets be civilized about this. Killing them will benefit you as well, we've killed a few in the past and with the parts have managed to build various electronics to help us escape, and the current project is a comm. unit to send an S.O.S for rescue."

"Oh right I see, people are just going to hop in their little fucking ships to come down to this shit hole and rescue psychopaths and mass murders, yeah completely fathomable," Riddick said sarcastically.

"They don't fucking know this is a prison you idiot, so either you help us or die where you stand, clocks ticking."

"Like I said before, FUCK YOU!"

"Riddick I don't want to kill you, really, I didn't lie when I said you were a legend around here, but I run things and we need to find out the secret of the pit and we need the parts to get out of here…I can give you some cows as bait to lure the bots out so you can kill them, and we've managed to make pulse pistols from previous parts, so you can have those too."

Kane was in no mood to argue with the man, he had spent too much time on this planet and just wanted to get off, he saw Riddick as their only hope.

"You don't want to be here the rest of your life do you? Me, I was born here and killed my father with my own hands when he went mad, this is not a place I wish to be at or ever remember. I give you my word, my men and I will not lie to you any more, and you can live here and will be safe against invading attacks."

~I'm never safe~

"And what makes you so sure that the other colonies aren't doing the same thing you are?"

"Because Riddick, the other colonies are scared and don't posses what we have."

"What's that?"

"You."
