As Riddick, Valor, and Johns searched the mysterious planet known as Tygeria in search for fuel for their emptied spaceship, they knew their quest would be a very long one as all they could see was pretty much all desert, hills, and dry winds. There were few mountains and if there were any villages, towns, or even communities for that matter, they couldn't be seen from the location they were currently at. They didn't get to travel very far because what almost seemed as immediate, their adventure began.

"Shhh." Johns hushed as he stopped the other two in their tracks.

"What is it?" said Riddick.

"Hmmm, nothing." Though he continued to survey his surroundings. "I thought I heard something."

Click! There's the sound Johns heard. "I heard it." said Valor.

"Yeah," replied Johns. "Me too."

"Sounds like a gun." said Riddick.

Then Valor interrupted. "It came from over there."

She pointed in the direction where they heard the short slight sound. Click! They sneaked themselves to the origin of the sounds and clicks. They climbed a small hill and all three barely peek over the hill's hump as they saw a campsite where a sole individual was concentrating on working on a gun. Probably cleaning it, checking for defects, or loading up, preparing for any danger.

"Hmmm. A guard in the middle of desert. Obviously, keeping a watch in the area." said Riddick.

"How do you know he's a guard?" asked Johns.

Valor interrupted before Riddick could speak. "His clothing, his size, even the gun itself. Looks pretty big and too advance for any normal person to carry." Riddick looked at Valor with slight amazement. "You think you're the only one who can point out a law man?" she said with a smile.

Riddick gave a slight smile as they made their focus back to the guard only 30 feet away.

"So what do we do?" asked Johns.

"I say we take him out." said Riddick.

"You're always so quick to kill, Riddick." said Johns. "We don't even know the guy's intentions and you're already ready to slit his throat. Hell, we don't even know his name. He may can get us the fuel we need."

"I'm with Riddick. Why else would a guard be out in the middle of the desert?"

Riddick then pulled out his shiv. "What the hell. I could use the exercise."

"Oh no you don't." said Valor. "I want this one." She said as she removed her tank top revealing her sports bra. "I haven't had any fun in awhile." She said with a smile.

She slowly walked to the guard with a slight surprise. The guard immediately pointed the gun in her direction.

Johns made a quick movement as he said, "Damnnit, she's gonna get herself killed."

Riddick stopped him. "No wait." He pointed. "Look."

Riddick and Johns were too far to hear what was exactly being said between the two, but for some reason the guard lowered his gun with a smile on his face. He moved in closer to Valor wrapping his arms around her. From Riddick's and John's position, they saw Valor knee the guard in the groin with no hesitation. As the guard lowered reaching for his testicles in pain, she gave a hard kick to the back of his legs forcing him to fall to his knees. Now his upper body at her full disposal, she grabbed his head and quick snapped his neck having him fall to the ground as nothing but a corpse.

Riddick and Johns then made their way towards Valor to admire her actions, but when she turned their way, their attention was distracted by Valor's physical aspects.

"Hey, guys, my face is up here."

Riddick and Johns gave each other a slight smile and laugh as Johns said. "At least we have something in common."

Valor snatched her tank top from Johns and placed it back on. "I fucked up guys."

"What you mean?" asked Riddick.

She kneeled and pointed to four backpacks containing various material. "Four bags, one guard."

Johns replied back. "I hope that doesn't mean..."

"FREEZE!" a voice called out.

The three turned with their hands raised and behind them were three guards with their guns readily pulled and aimed at the three newly-found suspects as Johns finished his sentence in awe. "...he has friends."

Riddick whispered to Johns. "How's your leg?"

"Pretty good why?"

"A guard per person. We can easily take them out."

Suddenly behind the quiet guards came 4 more guards riding in on armored dressed horses. Two carrying swords, two carrying the same guns as the other guards.

"You plan doesn't look too good now, does it?" said Johns.

Valor quickly picked up the gun from the dead guard. "The cake has only gotten a little bitter, boys. But it's still sweet."

With that said, behind the horses came two hovering battleships as a man on the loud speaker was heard. "FREEZE! You are trespassers of Tygerian Training Campsite and the murder of a Tygerian Training Officer. Any movements you make will result in an open fire from each guard you see before you."

Johns gave a slight laugh as he whispered to Valor. "How does that cake taste now?"

---------------------------------------------------------

Riddick, Valor, and Johns were all shackled in handcuffs as they were being exported to an unknown location. Surround by at least six foot guards, the same four guards on horses, and the two hovering battleships, they made their way across the training camp desert.

"So you land us on an unknown planet's army training base and kill one of their training officers? Nice work, Valor." Johns said all with a smile on his face.

"Shut the fuck up, Johns. You know I had no idea."

"I know you didn't. Which just goes to prove my original point."

"And what point is that?"

"You are nothing but trouble." She gave Johns an evil look. Valor saw Riddick was quiet but listening very closely to the conversation as Johns continued. "All you do is use your tits to get the best of people."

This enraged her as she made a lunged attack towards Johns. Though, the shackles did her no good as she fell to the ground. The attack frightened the horses, as it made a quick front leg leap almost knocking the guard off of his animal. The guard was able to take control of the horse. Then he barely and gently placed his sword on Valor's fallen body.

When the metal touched her skin, she gave out a loud scream as she felt an electric pulse rush through her body. This act angered Riddick as he used his cuffed hands to grab the guard off of his horse. But before any further action was taken, the second guard with the sword, sent the same pulse through Riddick's body as another meleed him to the ground with his gun. Then two guns were pointed at Johns as a guard spoke. "Are we going to have any problems with you too?"

Johns gave a smile. "Oh no guys, don't worry. I'm enjoying the show I'm seeing right now."

Two guards helped Riddick and Valor back to their feet. Valor emphasized her arrogance as she snatched her arm away the guard and used her own strength to compose herself. Soon the escorting to the still-unknown location was back in progress. The ignorance of Johns still got the best of him as he continued to tease Valor.

"So Valor, earlier on the ship you made a comment as if Riddick should've already known who you were. Care to explain?"

"Johns, are you really asking for death certificate?" she asked.

He replied. "I only want to know, what type of past you two have, that Riddick seems to be so unfamiliar about."

Riddick then interrupted. "Shut the fuck up now, Johns."

The guards then halted in their position and spoke out. "How about all of you shut the fuck up?" He pointed his gun at Johns. "Including you, loudmouth. You haven't shut up since we caught you."

Johns gave a slight nod in a agreement, but turned his eyes back to Valor in a devious smile. Finally, they progressed on to the location with no other conflicts.

Soon the three came upon a village. A run-down village made of poor residents in dirty clothes as they frightfully stayed clear of the guards passing through. A guard told their three prisoners. "Keep your eyes forward. We're just passing through."

But the three ignored as they all caught glimpse of men, women, children, and the elderly trying to hide the guards. The three could clearly see the shivering and the fear that came from each villager. The children holding on tight to their mothers and the men holding on tight to their wives. Cries were also heard in the background, but all else was quiet. Valor caught herself sharing glares with some of the villagers and when they looked back at her, their glare was more of a "Better you than me." glare.

"So I guess you guys make you're living off frightening and killing villagers." Riddick said with despite on his tongue.

A guard answered without looking back. "Yeah, and it pays very well."

A few laughed as Riddick stated. "Well, I wish I could be as brave as you guys and scare a 3 year old with a gun."

"Ha! Quiet prisoner or you'll give me a reason to show them why we are feared so much."

Riddick stayed quiet but not to abide by the guards orders. Valor noticed that Riddick was actually studying his surroundings. How the cabins were built. The people of the village as a whole. Even the resources that were made available to them. They continued to progress as they pass at least three more villages of the same state. Poor, dirty, fearful villagers all steering way as they watched the prisoners walk by while still keeping close attention to the guards. It wasn't too much longer until the three and their escorts made it to building which was obviously a run-down penitentiary. A highly dressed fashionable guard came out to greet them accompanied by four other guards equipped with both, a gun and the electric sword.

"Welcome trespassers. Say hello to your new home."

"And who are you?" asked Johns.

The guard said with a smile on his face. "I am Officer Tienboocks. Squadron Commander of this entire facility. From here on out, I will be your best friend and your worst enemy."

Riddick said in slight disgrace. "I prefer your enemy slogan."

With the same smile on his face he looked at Riddick. "I can see that you and I are going to have a lot of fun."

Riddick answered with a slight smile on his face. "I would be ashamed if we didn't."

The guard gave a laugh. "Okay, okay, let's stop wasting so much time, and get you guys to your new rooms."

---------------------------------------------------------

Not too much longer, after the questioning and the assignments, were Johns, Riddick, and Valor were all locked in different cells but clearly across from each other. It was easily seen, but the steady roam of heavily equipped guards.

"Thank you so much again, Valor." Johns teased. "Nice view, excellent location, and very cozy. Wonder what I could get on this property value."

She replied back. "Yeah, go ahead Johns and talk your shit behind these bars."

"Will you two shut the fuck up? I'm trying to think."

"Already trying to plan another great escape, Riddick?" John asked.

"I can escape anything." Riddick replied back with a smile.

He asked. "So how does it feel to be back in prison so quickly?"

Valor answered. "This isn't a prison."

"What you mean?" asked Johns.

"A prison gives you a little freedom to interact with what's around you. Don't be surprised if these cells will every open again." She answered while she looked around her surroundings. "This is nothing but bars and guards." She looked at Johns. "This is a dungeon."

Riddick spoke. "I like how perceptive she is."

"Glad you can see that Riddick." said Johns as he spoke. "And I'm sorry to say, but there's no way out."

"There's always a way out."

"Oh yeah?" Said Johns. "Look up there." He pointed up to the ceiling directly above the bars. "See that?" He referred to what seemed to be metallic generators attached to the base of the upper bars of each cell. "I have a bad feeling that all they have to do is flip a switch to fry us alive."

Riddick continued to study his newly discovered upper surroundings. Valor asked. "So Riddick. What's the game plan?"

"Give me some time."

There was a quick silence until Johns broke it. "I have an idea."

"What is it?" Riddick asked.

"But you two have to trust me."

"Bullshit! Trust you?" Valor asked in a shout.

"Look, Valor, I know we haven't been..."

"Fuck you, Johns. How are you going to say 'trust you' knowing you're ready to fuck us the first chance you get?"

"Do you want out of here or not?"

Riddick then said with a smile. "You are so sexy when you're angry Valor." Valor gave a slight smile at Riddick as he turned his attention to Johns. "I'll never trust you, Johns. But I am curious to see what you got up your sleeve." Riddick then looked at Valor. "But it's up to her if we want to see what happens."

She immediately spoke. "Hell no. Better yet, fuck no. If Johns do have an idea, he'll leave us in here to rot. We both know how much he loves to kiss ass."

Johns spoke out. "Valor, I don't give a damn about our differences or whatever the fuck is going through your head. I know I'm not trying to sit here in a damn dungeon. So regardless if either of you are okay with this or not, I'm going to do what I can to get myself out of this shit."

The two stared at each in silence as Riddick looked on waiting for the first to break it. Then Valor spoke. "I swear to fucking God, if you fuck me, you will have hell to pay."

Johns then eased down. "Fair enough."

He then awaited for a guard to pass by. "Excuse me, but I'm guessing you haven't spoke with Officer Tienbooks."

"What are you talking about prisoner?"

"I am a bounty hunter and these are my bounties. I was on my way to drop them off at a slam until your men stopped us."

"Well, guess what buddy. You're a prisoner now."

"If you just be so kind to let me talk with Officer Tienbooks, this can all be settled. We've already had a discussion during questioning prior to our lock-up."

The guard hesitated as Johns assured him. "Trust me, if I am lying you can kill me right here on the spot."

The guard signaled for two other guard to accompany him as they opened the cell doors releasing Johns. Johns looked toward his fellow inmates. "I'll be back."

"Yeah, you better." Riddick gave him a cold look as the guards escorted Johns out of the cell premises.
