Planet of Tygeria: Falox Saga - Chapter 17 of 21
By Scrooge
Hours later of planning, Jeffery came from the shadows of darkness from his cell. His comical high-strung character immediately made Riddick, Johns, and Valor smile when he spoke.
"Oh my God! I can't believe you guys are here! You're alive!"
"You're just realizing that?" Valor asked.
"Sorry was sleep. There's no other way to pass time here. So wait a minute, does that mean you beat Garrax?"
Johns with his smile looked Jeffery, "Not the way we hoped, but was able to jump the hurdle."
A huge smile came on his face as he extended his arm past the cell bars pointing at the three. "You guys ran didn't you? I was right all along, you ran."
"We escaped." Riddick said. "There's a difference."
"So what are you guys doing back here if you escaped?"
"It's a long story." Valor stated.
"Oh well, what's the game plan now?"
The three, as well as the guards, looked at each other before answering. "There's about to be a war in the palace." Riddick spoke.
"A war? Between who?"
They began to explain to Jeffery how the soldiers were taking a stand to get their planet back and the plan on Valor distracting Falox while Riddick and Johns took out the warlords.
"There's only one problem with that entire plan." Jeffery spoke calmly.
"What that?" Johns asked.
Then Jeffery yelled out. "There's going to be a God damn war in the palace!" The three gave him a confused look. He continued. "Yes, Valor is very beautiful. But do you think he's going to allow himself to be seduced while a war is going on in his own home?"
They all gave a frustrating sigh as they knew he was right. "So what do you suggest, Jeff?"
"It's a great plan, but if you want to distract Falox, she is going to have to fight him."
Johns spoke out to Riddick. "This crazy, we can't have her stuck in that room..."
"Shhh...I know you had to hear it this time." All was quiet, trying to listen for any sounds.
Riddick then whispered. "He's watching us isn't he?"
Jeffery looked to the ceiling barely nodding.
Valor quietly asked. "How do you know when he's watching us?"
He whispered. "A sixth sense. Guess I've been here too long."
Riddick looked up at the ceiling and yelled. "Falox! You're a dead man!"
Johns rushed to the bars. "What the fuck are you doing?"
Jeffery immediately spoke out. "Shh..." He quieted them still looking at the ceiling.
"Is he still watching us?" Riddick asked loudly.
Jeffery looked back with a smile. "No."
Riddick turned his attention toward his allied guards. "I'm tired of hiding and whispering and all these fucking mind games. It's time to put this to an end now." He looked at Valor. "Baby, change of plans. I'll keep Falox busy while you and Johns take care of the warlords." He looked at Johns. "Watch Valor's back, I don't want anything happening to her." His frustration was building as he was determined to bring Lord Falox down. He looked towards his guards. "If you guys are serious about this, round up the villagers. I'm going to want all the help we can get."
