(Disclaimer: I do not own Riddick or any of the Chronicles of Riddick, or Pitch Black characters.)
Ok here's chp. 7, again if you have any questions comments or if you're confused add them in your reviews. This too is a narrative fic, I'm hopeing soon to have one in Imam's POV but I have to get a few things out of the way first.
Jack looked from Lajjun to the man standing at the top of the stairs.
"Imam!" Jack booked it up the stairs wrapping her arms around Imams waist and squeezing. "I thought you were dead."
"No my child." Imam assured Jack. "Why are you wearing Riddick's goggles?" Imam asked as Jack pushed the goggles up on her forehead just as Riddick walked out of the kitchen looking at Imam. Ziza walked over to Riddick and looked at him.
"Did you really kill monsters that were gonna hurt my father?" Ziza took Riddick's side holding his hand as Riddick gave Imam a stare.
"Such are our bedtime stories." Imam stated slowly walking down the stairs with jack ahead of him heading for the downstairs bathroom. When she returned she was clean shaven like Riddick to again win the look alike contest; more so now for the goggles and the eyes completed the costume. The little group still stood where they did when she had left the room. Lajjun gave Riddick a very sad look, then turned her gaze to Ziza.
"Ziza, go to your room." She did as she was told and ran up the stairs towards her room.
"Riddick please we need your help." Imam explained their spot with the Necromongers in front of the little New Meccan group who came to ask Riddick for his help. Riddick stood at the window when he saw the flames on the candles flicker he stretched out an arm that held a knife as an elemental appeared.
"Who's throat is this?"
"If you cut my throat I can not resend the offer that brought you here or tell you how vital it is that you did come."
"The knife comes off when the bounty comes off." Riddick said as he looked forward the elemental disappeared and reappeared on the other side of Riddick.
"There is a prophecy now older then 30 years of young Furyans being strangled with their own birth cords." Aereon (elemental) said to Riddick. Riddick turned to look out of the window.
"When I heard of this I told her of you." Imam told Riddick.
"Do you remember where you come from, are there more of you?" Aereon asked. Riddick turned around to face her.
"Sister they don't know what to do with just one of me." He said pointing his knife in her face.
"Will you help us?" Imam asked him again.
"Not my fight." Riddick growled at the small group of six. A knock came to the front door, Imam and the four "wise men' went to send the guards who had come for Riddick away. The guards held Lajjun, Ziza and the four men as a group of guards searched the house. Jack resided with Riddick in the loft.
The doors to the loft opened to Riddick facing away from them with only two candles lit. While Jack held her pose on the ceiling.
"You're not afraid of the dark, are you?" Riddick asked putting the candles out with his hands. Jack jumped down and started cutting throats and Riddick just let the guards shoot each other in the dark. Two guards ran out of the room closing and locking the doors behind them. Riddick threw a guy threw them and walked down the stairs with Jack at his side. A young guard held a knife to Imam. The boy was so afraid the knife shook in his hand, he let it fall to the ground and ran out of the house. Riddick and Jack walked out the front door, Ziza ran after Riddick.
"Riddick…" Riddick stopped when the little girl called his name. "Are you going to stop the new monsters now?" Riddick put the hood up to his cloak as him and Jack quickly walked away.
The Necro totem hit the ground of New Mecca and burned out every piece of light. Jack followed Riddick as he jumped from roof to roof, like she knew exactly what he was thinking. Riddick and Jack pushed the goggles to their forehead to see thousands of ships detach themselves from the large totems and destroy everything that got in their way.
Hundreds of people stood in the Great Helion hall. The lord Marshal walked through the large double doors with his Purifier close behind. As the Purifier went on with his mumbo jumbo Riddick and Jack stood in the back with their cloak hoods covering their faces. The whole group started to kneel, Riddick and Jack became two sore thumbs of the crowd.
Riddick and Jack removed the hoods concealing their faces, as a Necromonger approached them.
"This is your one chance, take the Lord Marshals offer and bow." Said Vaako.
"I bow to no man." Riddick and Jack said in unison. Vaako removed his helmet.
"He's not a man, he's a holy half dead who has seen the Underverse."
"Look, we're not with everyone here, but I will take a piece of him." Riddick said pointing to Irgun one of the best hand-to-hand fighter among the Necros.
"A piece you will have." Vaako stated stepping away from Riddick to watch. Irgun swung at Riddick with an axe type weapon as Riddick dodged it; he ran under Irgun's arm and pulled the knife sticking out of his back stabbing him with it repeatedly four times in the stomach, then deciding four was enough let the man fall to the. (The knife that no one could remove so it was left as a reminder of pain.) Riddick headed out the door as the lord Marshal told his men to stop him. The lord Marshal walked to Irgun's body pulling out the knife and stood face-to-face with Riddick.
"Irgun, one of my best." Said the lord Marshal. Riddick looked around the lord Marshal looking at Irgun's body.
"If you say so."
"What do you think of this blade?" Asked the lord Marshal presenting the blade to him. Riddick snatched the blade away and whirled it around a bit then held it out back to the lord Marshal.
"I think it's a ½ gram heavy on the back end." Riddick replied.
"In our faith you keep what you kill." Said the lord Marshal taking a grip on Riddick's hand. "Are you familiar to me… have we met on some distant field?"
"You'd think I'd remember." Riddick broke the hold.
"You think I would too." The lord Marshal gave a small grin. Jack took the Jerk of Riddick's head as a sign to get hidden from the crowd but follow him, so she got 'lost.'
"Take him before the Quasi-Deads." The lord Marshal commanded walking out of the Hall. Guards gathered around Riddick, but before they got too close Dame Vaako stepped forward.
"Perhaps the Breeder would do it… if somebody just asked him." She walked around Riddick giving him a good look over, as he took in her sent. "It is a rare offer, a visit inside Necropolis."
"It's been a long time since I smelled beautiful."
"Let me show you the way." Dame Vaako took Riddick's hand and led him.
Dame Vaako walked inside Necropolise with Riddick at her side and Necros taking up the rear along with the Purifier, when inside Riddick pushed his goggles to his forehead to get a better look. The doors to the large Statue closed behind them, Riddick turned around too see. Jack just barley got through the doors without anybody seeing her. Dame Vaako put her hand under Riddick's chin to guide his gaze back to her.
"Beautiful eyes. Come." The two started walking again. "The last six lord Marshals have called this home. Magnificent isn't it?"
"I might of gone a different way." Riddick replied to the question.
"True of us all." Commented the Purifier. Riddick looked left as he walked, he saw people hanging in the air.
"Converts receiving the mark of the Necromonger. They learn how one pain can lessen another." The Purifier says as they approach doors to a room with a round platform in the middle of it. Dame Vaako leads Riddick to the platform as he steps up onto it.
"There now. That is just… perfect." Dame Vaako said as she headed for the doors. Riddick looked up at the lord Marshal, then noticing Jack posing as a statue behind him. "The more you resist them, the greater the damage will be."
"A new one." Says a low woman's voice, as Riddick pulls out the knife he used in which to kill Irgun.
AN: I thought this was a good place to stop. Hope you liked it. Plz R&R:)
