Planet of Tygeria: Falox Saga - Chapter 9 of 21

By Scrooge

Falox:

Am I genius or what? These trespassers come onto my land and make a fool of me? They don't know my history. They have no idea what I am capable of. They don't know the power that lies inside of me. I sat in my throne with my two warlords just standing, if you can say that, next to me. As I continued to contemplate on what should I do with them when they turn themselves in. And Richard, hahaha, he is my favorite. A man with so many weakness but yet so powerful. So powerful to where he sent Garrax to the floor, something I have never seen before. And so cunning to derive a plan to escape when he's seen a lost battle. God, how powerful I will I be if I was to have him and the woman on my side. Johns? Eh, he's nothing special. But Valor, beautiful, yes, but her skills show to be more useful to me. I could make them my head warriors and begin taking over a new planet with such power. My only problem is their stubbornness. I even had to turn Garrax into a monster before he began working for me. But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like a bad idea for Richard either.

"Sire, we have brought the body." A guard called out not to far from my presence.

I gave him a look in their direction as I saw someone hold a dead body. "Bring it to me." They walked towards me and drop the body on the ground not too far from my feet.

"Do you want us to leave, sire?"

"No, stay." I stood. "I want you to be witness as to what will happen if any of you prove any disloyalty towards me."

They nodded as I looked back to my warlords. "Fix him."

They pulled out their hands and focused energy onto the dead body. When they were done, the guards noticed the man was revived back to life, though the bullet wound in his head was not covered.

"Don't you stand up at all, Tienbooks."

The guards gave a quick look at each other then turned their attention back to Tienbooks. "I'm alive?" Tienbooks asked himself.

"Only temporarily soldier." I said as Tienbooks noticed the cold stare in his eyes.

"Is there something wrong, sire?"

"Is there something wrong?" He turned his warlords and only nodded. The two glided and face each other giving each other a good amount of distance as they raised their hands as their black magic flowed from it. When their magic touched each other it grew into a large circle, once large enough the circle was filled with the last scene before Tienbooks died. He was on the screen holding Valor, just before I had to watch Johns once again deliver the final shot to my first-in-command. "Tell me, Tienbooks. What is wrong with that picture?"

"I'm sorry, sire. I was only..."

"You were only what?" I gave him a smile. "Oh, I have to hear this excuse."

He hesitated and swallowed hard before he spoke, "I wanted to give the bounty hunter one last chance to save himself by killing the girl."

"Oh really? So that's why you didn't kill her?"

"Yes, sire. Plus, I didn't have any weapons on me."

I gave a small laugh as I looked at my warlords which were enough signal for them. With a little magic, I watched as they brought the scene back a little further, where Tienbooks was now holding Valor by her head and shouted at Riddick. "Drop it or I'll fuckin snap her neck, I swear to God."

He tried to speak as I walked behind him. He still bowed down on his knees. I told him. "Seems like you had all the weapons you needed to kill her."

"Sire, I'm sorry. I swear that I..."

"That you what?" I stood behind him. "That you had a problem doing this?" I reached down grabbed him by the head and quickly snapped his neck as he fell to the ground dead once again.

I wasn't done yet. I looked at my warlords which they took as the signal to revive the soldier again. Tienbooks awoke with a gasp as he knew now what was going on. "Sire, I'm sorry! I'm sorry." He immediately began pleading.

"Maybe you had a problem doing this..." I shoved my fingers down this open mouth. I felt him vomit upon my hand, but it didn't jerk my hand away as I continued to choke him until he passed out. Once again, his body fell lifeless. I stood shaking the vomit off of my hand as I looked to my warlords again.

2 This time they gave each other a look before reviving him, but did as ordered. Tienbooks awoke again gasping for air as he tried to speak. His voice was strangled as he spoke. "Sire...sorry..."

I've had enough of this, already. "Or maybe you had a problem doing this." I grabbed his hair, and shoved my fingers his eyeballs...the blood squirted on my fingers and up to my chest as he screamed in agony as I continue to push my finger further, wanting to feel his brain. He grabbed my arm tight trying to pull my arm away, but I was much, much stronger than him. I caught glimpse of the other guards turning their head away in horror as I yelled to them. "Watch! And learn!" They obeyed and turned their heads back to watch Tienbooks next gory death. It wasn't long until the full lengths of my fingers were in his eyeball sockets. And I can tell my guards were ready to vomit on my carpet from their up-close viewing. Tienbooks once again fell dead. I stood removing my fingers from his sockets as I looked at his dead body. There's no telling how far back I pushed his damaged eyeballs into the back of his head. I looked to my warlords as another signal.

They obeyed as they revived him once more, never healing any of his wound. When Tienbooks was revived and screaming in pain from the eye gouging. I knew he was too injured, too wretched in pain to try to do any pleading. I grabbed my sword nearby my throne. "You got soft on me Tienbooks which caused your disloyalty, so you will be pay the ultimate price."

His screams quieted a little when he heard my statement. He couldn't see a thing, but he knew death was coming again. I watched the blood from his eyes trickle down his face as if they were tears as I made my final blow and swiftly cut his head from his body. The head rolled next to the guards feet as the body then fell to the ground. Permanently.

The warlords glided back to their position next to each side of my throne as I sat on it looking at the guards. "Remove this body and dump it."

"And the head sire." One said very nervously.

I told him. "Hang it in front of the palace. His death will be a symbol to those who show any form of disloyalty to me."

They nodded and immediately began tending to their orders.

"Show me the trespassers." I said as the warlords used their magic to display a screen showing Riddick easing the barely awake Valor back to her sleeping bag.

Johns spoke. "So what are we gonna do, Riddick?"

I gave a huge smile and said to myself, knowing they could not hear my voice whatsoever. "Exactly, what are you going to do, Richard?"
