Planet of Tygeria: Falox Saga - Chapter 5 of 21

By "Valor"

As they left the same way they came in Valor felt a cold chill run up her back. It was the thought of Falox's hands on her. She couldn't stand the fact he touched her. As they neared the palace dungeons Valor felt Riddick's hand take hers.

"Are you sure you're ok?"

Valor nodded and looked at Tienbooks. "I am ok. Wish you would have warned me he was going to do that."

Tienbrooks looked back at her and shrugged. "I had no idea he was going to do that to you."

"Yeah." She said sarcastically. Meanwhile Johns was watching how Valor and Riddick were acting together. It didn't seem like Riddick he was showing signs of love and compassion of Valor. Why? He would ask later when they were away from the guards.

"So you going to inform us about this game?" Riddick asked.

"Later but as for now you will all be put in the cells." Tienbrooks replied.

They arrived at the palace dungeons and the guards showed them to the cells. They locked Valor and Riddick together as per Riddick's request. There wasn't much else for them to do anyways and for the guards it made for good entertainment. Johns looked at both Riddick and Valor with a questioning look as the guard put him in his cell.

"So your plan didn't work the way you wanted did it Johns?" Riddick asked with a smile.

"No... What are you doing in there anyways?"

"None of your business Johns." Valor snapped at him.

"Oh its ok baby let him know not like he can do much about it anyways." Riddick smiled that wicked smile at Johns.

"That's nice Riddick pick on me now that you're all cozy with the little tramp there."

"Hey!" Valor jumped up and wanted Johns's throat. Riddick quickly chimed in.

"Don't ever talk to her that way Johns or I will let her cut your balls off...She isn't a tramp." Riddick was stern and growled at Johns.

"What the hell she flashes her tits to get what she wants. Now she flashed them at you and you're a pussy?"

"Watch your mouth Johns!" Riddick snapped.

"Hey I haven't slept with any of them I flashed them and then killed them that's all. I think you're just upset because I didn't take you up on your proposition."

"That has nothing to do with it." Johns answered.

"He propositioned you? Why I am not surprised. Better keep those filthy Merc hands off Johns."

"Why don't like to share Riddick?" Johns said with a laugh.

"NO I don't!" Valor watched waiting to see what was going to happen.

"And why is that?" Johns asked taunting Riddick.

"I am warning you Johns Shut up."

"Damn I can't believe it Sir shivs-alot when from Bad Ass to Pussy in a matter of a few hours." Johns was now leaning against the wall.

"Say what you want about me Johns...But remember that one moment on the ship back at Butcher Bay. I could finish what I started." Riddick was talking about the time he stabbed Johns in the back the lower lumbar area the sweet spot as Riddick called it. Johns jumped away from the wall and lunged toward the bars.

"Hey you caught me off guard try it now and we will see who comes out on top."

Riddick let out a small laugh. "Yeah keep telling yourself that Johns."

"All I wanted to know is why all of a sudden you show trust and affection to a cold blooded Killer. She would leave you here in a heartbeat if it meant her freedom. So why Riddick? Why the piece of ass?"

Valor flipped Johns off and Johns gave her a look as to say see what I mean. Riddick didn't answer the rage was building inside him and Valor could hear a rumbling growl coming from Riddick's chest. Johns pushed the issue more.

"So come on Big guy what turned you into such a little fucking pussy? Why did little Mrs. Slice and Dice make you so damn soft?"

Valor could hear the growl before Riddick spoke. Riddick lunged at the bars his goggles off so he could see Johns better in the dim lighting.

"BECAUSE SHE IS MY WIFE JOHNS!" Riddick was in raged and Valor got up and placed a hand on his arm to calm him down some before the guards came in and took him from the cell. There was a long silence before a guard spoke.

"What's all the yelling in here?"

"Nothing we were just talking loudly is all." Johns said.

"Fine... He looked to Valor and Riddick. ...If I were the two of you I would get as much quality time together as you can before tomorrow night." The guard was called out and Tienbooks met up with him they were talking about something.

"Why did you do that Johns?" Valor asked wondering what he was up to.

"Didn't want them to split us up where I can't make sure that you both escape and leave me here to rot."

Valor laughs a bit she figured he would say that. Johns got real quiet and then decided after Riddick cooled down some he would try to talk with him.

"I didn't know you were married Riddick. I..." Before he could say anything Riddick glared at him.

"What difference does that make?"

"I guess you're right Riddick but I always thought you to be a loner."

"Yeah well it wouldn't be the first time I have been pegged for something I am not." Riddick placed a hand on Valor's face and kissed her cheek.

"You know the guard was probably right baby. Seeing as how we are going to have to prove ourselves tomorrow night." Valor smiled at Riddick.

"Yeah but not right now ... But speaking of tomorrow night wasn't Tienbooks supposed to inform us of this little game Falox is having us play?"

"Yeah ... Where is he?" Riddick looked to the door that the one guard went through to meet with Tienbrooks. Just then the guard came back with trays of food and cups of tea for all three of them. He slid them into the cells.

"Here's your lunch when Tienbooks is done with some work he will be in to talk with you for now just eat." The guard left and two others watched as Riddick, Johns, and Valor ate. Every so often Johns would exchange a small smile with Valor and Riddick. After they were finished the guards quickly got there trays and cups back taking every precaution with them. They left and the three sat there for a few moments. Riddick began to look around the cell again. Valor sat against the wall listening to the guards talk. Johns watched them both like a hawk. They were waiting on Tienbooks.
