Here it is, the final chapter of Liz's Chronicles. Elizabeth was the first character I created in a fanfiction world for Riddick. I thank my roommate, Molly, for introducing me to both Fanfiction and Riddick. Without her none of this would be possible. Enjoy the final installment of Liz's Chronicles.

The tears were forming in my eyes for the first time in years. I had stopped listening to the whole damn world. I could hear nothing at all.

Riddick probably thinks that I am dead by now. I heard everyone gasp and I looked up. The Lord Marshal was looking at Riddick's dagger.

"Been a long time since I've seen my own blood," he said. He held out the dagger for everyone to see. People started backing up away from him. He dropped it on the floor and turned to Riddick.

Suddenly he knocked Riddick into the pillar behind him. Riddick fell to the ground before hopping right back up. The Lord Marshal was moving so fast that Riddick could hardly get a punch in.

The tears were rolling down my face, but I hardly noticed. I was so caught up in the fight. I wanted Riddick to win, not for glory or valor, but so he would still be alive to see his son.

The fight continued for several minutes with Riddick dodging punches from a man who was there at one point and gone at the next. I didn't want to think it, but Riddick was getting his ass kicked. Finally the Lord Marshal got in a good shot and Riddick fell to the ground and rolled away.

Someone placed a hand on my shoulder. I turned and noticed the elemental for the first time since the battle began. She nodded back to the fight. Riddick was still on the ground, struggling to get up.

"These are his last moments," the Lord Marshal said before walking over to Riddick. He was doing something to him, but I couldn't see.

"Give me your soul," he said. I took a deep breath silently praying for Riddick.

"Fuck you," Riddick said. He spun up and knocked the Lord Marshal across the room. It was strange, but it looked like part of him was bouncing around. He looked up at Riddick before jumping up and grabbing some sort of weapon.

He kept swinging it trying to hit Riddick. Then he stabbed Riddick and lifted him in the air. Riddick was defenseless. I tried to run out to help, but there were too many Necros in the way.

"Riddick," I said, but no one listened.

The Lord Marshal dropped Riddick and then knocked him across the floor with the other end of the spear he was using. The force threw Riddick closer to us, and broke the Lord Marshal's spear.

The Lord Marshal dropped the remains of the spear and grabbed a weapon from on of his guards. He flipped Riddick up and started choking him with it. "You're not the one to bring me down," the Lord Marshal said.

I glanced up and noticed Kyra on the other side of the battle. She saw me and smiled a sad smile, almost like she was saying goodbye. She had a weapon in her head and made her way forward. She stabbed the Lord Marshal in the back, causing him to release Riddick.

Riddick and Kyra looked at each other for a second before the Lord Marshal knocked her across the room and into a pillar with several sharp points coming off of it on either side of the throne. She gasped, and then I gasped. I wanted to get to Kyra, but I couldn't get through. "Kyra," I said.

"Now, kill the beast while it's wounded," someone said. I wasn't paying attention. Kyra fell to the ground. I looked over at Riddick. He was bleeding and looked near dead. He was looking at Kyra with sadness in his eyes.

Another Necro was walking forward towards the Lord Marshal. "Help me Vaako. Kill him," the Lord Marshal said. The one called Vaako didn't listen. He stopped in front of the Lord Marshal and lifted his weapon in the air.

"Vaako?"

"Forgive me," Vaako said. I looked back at Riddick. He was standing, with his dagger, and he looked pissed.

Vaako's weapon came down and hit the ground, while Riddick's dagger came down and impaled itself in the Lord Marshal's head.

"NO!" a woman above me shouted. The elemental beside me just smiled slightly and said, "Now what would be the odds of that?"

Riddick broke his dagger off in the Lord Marshal's head and kneed him in the head before rushing over to Kyra. The Necros were still in front of me and I couldn't get through.

"I thought you were dead," Kyra said quietly. I was close enough to hear their conversation.

"Are you with me Kyra?" Riddick asked in a gently tone. "I was always with you. I was," she replied.

Kyra died in Riddick's arms. He laid her down gently and brought a hand to his face. He was fighting the pain in his heart. He flopped into the Lord Marshal's chair with his hand still over his face.

It was then I noticed the Necros were moving closer to Riddick. Panic set in. What were they going to do? Riddick looked up at them as they all started kneeling before him. I could finally see him properly.

"You keep what you kill," Riddick said to no one particular. I rushed over to Kyra's side and looked at her. She was like my little sister, my best friend and now she was gone. I let the tears fall.

"Liz?" Riddick said. I looked up at him and smiled through the tears.

"Riddick," I said, "I am so happy you are alive. I…"

I didn't bother speaking I just threw myself into his arms. Vaako looked up and said, "Lord Marshal, what are we to do about Helion Prime? Aren't we going to destroy it?"

Riddick looked at me and then at Vaako. "No," he said in a stern voice. "Land the ships. I have business to attend to on Helion."

The order was quickly carried out. I looked at Riddick's wounds. He wasn't bleeding anymore, but he looked terrible. I found a washrag and carefully washed away the blood and sweat.

"You have to look nice when you meet your son formally," I said. Riddick nodded. Before we exited the ship, he had them take Kyra's body to somewhere proper so that they could carry out her funeral with care and consideration.

Riddick lead the way to Iman's home, which I remember vaguely from my trips back to Helion. As soon as we were in sight of the house, Zeeza rushed up and gave me a hug.

"Aunt Liz," she said enthusiastically. Billy followed her. He rushed up and hugged me. I leaned down and picked him up.

"Wow, you are growing up mighty fast aren't you Billy?" he nodded and then looked at Riddick.

"Hello again," he said politely, probably because I was there. I smiled at Riddick. Riddick smiled at Billy.

"Billy, you remember what I told you about your father?"

"How he fought the monsters and that he was mean and ran away?"

I blushed and nodded. "He ran away for a good reason now that I think about it. Billy this is your father," I said pointing to Riddick with my free hand. Billy looked at Riddick with wide eyes.

I set him on the ground and the two of them just stared at each other. I was amazed how much Billy can look like me, and yet act just like his father.

"Dad?" Billy asked and Riddick nodded. Billy smiled his biggest smile before latching onto one of Riddick's legs. I walked over to Riddick and told Billy and Zeeza to go inside, and that we would be there in a minute.

"Riddick, I don't want you to hurt him," I said. "So, if you are even thinking about leaving us again, I am afraid I am going to have to…"

Riddick interrupted me with a kiss. I held onto him like he was leaving me forever.

When we pulled apart, he looked into my eyes. "I ain't going anywhere this time," he said. I smiled and we walked into the house... together.
