When Jo found the group they were all staring off into the horizon except the horizon was now filled with large rings and the top of another planet was beginning to crown. Oh shit the eclipse. Everyone ran frantically for the sand cat. Everyone was inside except for Johns and Riddick.
"Where's Riddick" Jack yelled to the group, Jo pulled her down into her lap and held her still fearing she'd actually jump out to find him.
"Leave him" Paris said. "He wouldn't wait for us"
Just then the sand cat jolted and Riddick landed swiftly behind Paris. Paris gulped "Thought we'd lost you" then quickly sat down, Jo gave Riddick a smirk from behind Jack and he sat down across from them. Johns finally made it out to the sand cat, probably after retrieving his drugs. Riddick actually stood up and helped Johns into the sandcat. Finally they were off, something Jo felt like they should have done several hours ago.
They all made it to the ship quickly everyone but Shazza and Jack ran inside to grab the power cells. Then Paris ran off in the direction of the cargo container to grab "a few items". The ringed planet was coming up quickly; Jo had found herself useless to lift the heavy cells so she ran back outside to the sand cat. She saw Shazza and Jack trying to wipe away the dirt from the solar converter to try to gain as much light as possible, Jo went over and furiously began to wipe down the solar panels. Most of the power cells had been loaded but everyone stared in horror as the planet blotted out the sun and the sand cat sputtered and then finally died.
A terrible screeching noise could be heard coming from across the sand from the spires that jutted out of the ground. Everyone stared in morbid fascination as creatures began flying from the spires circling into the sky as the light faded. Now only Riddick could see for sure what was happening, Paris yelled from the container ship that everyone should flee and so they did. Everyone ran as fast as they could to the somewhat intact ship.
Shazza was still cursing the sand cat so Jo grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward the ship, Riddick was last person to start running. Everyone had made it the ship except for Shazza, Jo, and Riddick. The creatures were close behind; Caroline yelled for everyone to get down. So all three jumped into the ditch just as the creatures swarmed overhead. They flew by quickly and Jo started to rise but she felt a pressure on her ankle, she knew it was Riddick and knew he was trying to tell her to stay down. Suddenly Shazza started running forward and Jack kept telling her to get down, and for good reason another group of creatures flew by and over Riddick and Jo. Jo could feel the air from their wings as they passed she looked up to see them clawing at Shazza; Jo began to move forward but Riddick's grip on her ankle tightened preventing her from going anywhere. She watched as Shazza was lifted and torn in half, she began to cry out of fear and frustration, as soon as Riddick let go of her ankle she sprinted for the door. Jo ran past everyone and to a corner turning her back to everyone, once she collapsed she began to sob quietly to herself. People started searching in the dark for any type of light source. They were all crowded together in a small hallway; and could hear the creatures outside clawing to get inside.
Riddick came up close to Jo, only as close as to rub the tip of his boot along the side of her shoe. He could see the cuts on her and knew that they would need to be looked at soon. Imam broke through a door into another room so as Jo stood up to follow them Riddick slid his hand along her waist. She did the same thing and ran her fingers along his thigh as she walked by. It was a simple gesture but it assured him immensely that she might live through this.
The group kept moving farther into the ship trying to find somewhere where the creatures couldn't get them. Finally they came to a spot where everyone gathered around a cutting torch and went over the few options they had left.
