Chapter
18: Arrival
Riddick
loomed out of the shadows, shiv in hand, and approached the men.
Kahn and Kane jumped out of their seats, staring at the glistening shiv, and
began stammering excuses.
"Hey! Ri-Riddick…How ya doin hiccup buddy?" Kane stammers.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! I TOLD YOU NOT TO DOUBLE CROSS ME YOU MOTHER FUCKERS AND
NOW…well and now you'll pay the price…slip and don't get up, remember?" he
finished calmly.
He rushed at them and the entire cavern echoed the sound of their screams, only
to include Helos when he entered into the fray. After 6 hours of torture, the
cries can still be heard; ghost's whispers traveling through the air.
She steps off her ship, senses immediately alert; here ears picking up
something as she prepares herself.
'Screams?'
She hides her ship with various cloaking devices, the only evidence that its
there is the steady beeping on her wrist from a slender metal band.
She probes the ground, testing her footing, not sure how stable Petrin's Exile
really is; armed and ready to wreak havoc, she moves towards the coordinates
given to her.
Tall, strong, and beautifull; long, layered brown and streaked hair adorn a
slender caramel face with bright green eyes, that probe the area around her,
and full sensuous lips, while long, lithe legs carry her across the landscape
towards her quarry and her payday.
Her muscular body is protected from the heat by a black, bio zip-up jumpsuit
and knee-high boots; each with weapons tucked safely away from prying eyes. Her
long flowing cape, wiping behind her as she moves, dubs as a fire resistant
cloth and bullet proof sheath, and hides her face well.
She reaches the entrance of the cave and notices a rock with writing on it.
"Stupid fucking warnings," she mutters aloud.
She strides along the corridor and directly to the mess hall, where at the
current moment a very large disturbance was occurring, and she stays hidden
amongst the shadows to watch the scene unfold.
Riddick was fending off some very pissed off cons as they slowly circled him
waiting for their time to strike.
'Fucking figures I have to fuck all these assholes up to get out of this shit
hole…I knew I shouldn't have taken so much time killing those pricks…I could
have at least gagged them first.'
One man lunged at Riddick, but he rolled away, and instead hit the man directly
across from him, sending them both over the edge to the ground thirty feet
below.
She watched excitedly as the noticed a man creeping up behind Riddick with a
strange looking weapon, but her smile soon faded when the dropped like a fly.
Growing tired of the one sided battle, she walks out of the shadows and fired
her pulse pistol in to the air a few times.
Time stopped.
Everyone turned to look at her, and Riddick with a confused, backed away from
the other men and slipped away unnoticed.
"Well it's good to see I have all of your attentions, I'm sorry I had to pull
you away from 'let's see who's got more balls' but it was obvious you all were
going to die."
"HEY FUCK YOU COW!" someone shouted in front of her.
"Cow? Do I look like I have utters to you?"
"Let's show this COW who're the REAL men around here," shouted the same idiot.
'Men, when will the ever learn.'
