Pitch Black 2 - Daylight.
Chapter Three
"Omph." Riddick gasped as the guard lowered the knee from its place buried in Riddicks lower ribs. "Mercs" he murmured, earning a swift blow to the back of the head from the guard on his left, as he and three other guards dragged Riddick from the cell he had been imprisoned in for the last couple of days. 'They always seemed to get real pushy when moving convicts' Riddick mused, ' always get real nervous'. He remembered back on his life in the slam, so many guards around, the prisoners would end up as black as night and as blue as the sea after a day of moving between cells. 'Bout the only good thing about solitary', Riddick figured, 'being left alone'..
Preparations for the mission back to the planet Riddick and the others had crashed merely two weeks before were almost complete. The researches had begun analyzing any data they could get their hands on regarding the planet before take off and had grilled Jack, Imam and even Riddick relentlessly on their stay on the planet, the atmosphere, environment, and the wildlife, and had finally decided they had gathered enough data to proceed. The research team itself consisted mainly of students, who were employed by the government to search and rate a planet on its capability to sustain human life, the dangerous quality of the job description ensuring only the extreme adventurist or crazy desperate need apply. The four students having accepted this particular job were a mix between both and they, plus their two supervisors, Kathy Martin and Mark Caldon, both also fully equipped to fly the small cruiser they were traveling in, made up half the crew, the other half consisting of the five guards that had been employed to escort the team, and the hunter, who had volunteered to ride along and keep an extra eye on Riddick, who bound and gagged, filled out the passenger list on board the Nova Harva - destination 'nightmare central'..
"And why exactly are you here?" Riddick asked the hunter, who now strode back and fourth infront of Riddicks temporary new home, the cyrogenic cabbin where he had been placed, heavily chained, in preparation for the flight. "The names Darcy" The hunter quipped in what Riddick picked as a sort of a English slang accent, as he turned to face Riddick with an almost comical grin that seemed out of place on the face that hid so much danger. "And I have to say, It will be an honour to walk you in through those jail gates and back down those green halls" He sneered " And put you back where you belong" He continued, his gaze turned dreamy at the image. "That is assuming you make it" Riddick rumbled, his shining gaze never leaving the hunters. " Ill make it alright" Darcy snapped, stepping closer, their eyes level. " Not scared of the dark?" Ridick asked, not fliching from the hard stare inches from his own. His eyes shining in the glow of the light as the hunter stepped back, turning to leave. "We'll see" Riddick said, watching the hunter walk away, " the dark can do terrible things to a man" he added softly, a knowing smile briefly sliding across his lips.
Jack, from his hidden corner near Riddicks holding cell, winced at the chill of Riddicks words, staring down at her clasped hands she swallowed. Riddick was right, going back to that planet meant facing things that they had only just managed to escape from the first time, things that, had it not been for Riddick, she would never have gotten away from at all. And now, he was being forced to go back, all because she had mentioned to many details to a guard who just happened to know a little more that she had thought. Running a hand through her hair and taking a calming breath, Jack stood up, looking cautiously around the small ship. 'This time' she thought, her jaw set determinedly on the fear she felt creeping in, 'this time im going to protect you' she let out her breath slowly 'cause your gonna need someone on your side out there'
She knew that soon preparations on the ship would finish, and the crew and passengers would all end up in their cabins, deep in the dreams of cryosleep, then she could find a more permanent place for the trip. Jack swallowed once more, the memories of those days only just over a week ago flashing through her mind as she sat, huddled in a compartment, with Riddicks cabin directly within her view. No one had ever helped her the way he and Fry had, she thought, remembering the blond haired woman who had taken control of the situation and drove them to reach the ship, to reach safety and Jack knew that the determination and kindness of them both were the only things that allowed her to be here today, and though she couldn't help Fry when she had been in danger, she was able to help out the man that was now contained in the cabin infront of her, chained and waiting to be taken to his death, the man who had saved her life. All she had to do was wait.
