Chapter 2
Fate Fuck It
Disclaimer I do not own the chronicles of Riddick universe and I have not seen it for a while so please bare with me. And am working with the line script nothing else.
Claimer I do own Saiya
"So who do I have to kill to get this payday off my head?" Riddick asked turning to Imam unimpressed in anyway. Saiya chuckled slightly walking towards the two raising an eyebrow at Riddick before walking out the front door.
"It is said the comet always precedes them…these world-enders. The Coalsack planets are gone. Eight million settlers missing. The entire Aquilan System is gone too. Helion Prime shares its sunlight with all worlds nearby. If we fall, they fall. And after that...My God, how do I save my family? Have you heard anything I've said?" Imam asked gathering the courage to glare slightly at Riddick.
"You said it's all circling the drain...the whole universe.
Right?" Riddick asked turning to him smirking slightly. A slight jingling sounded and Riddick pulled out a shiv pressing it to Saiya's neck. "You gotta stop wearing those bells." Riddick said pulling the knife away from her throat. Saiya shook her head disappearing back into the shadows.
"That's right." Imam said looking between Riddick and the spot Saiya had been.
"Had to end sometime." Riddick said as three hooded men entered the room.
"The one you want is now here." Was said as Riddick pulled a shiv out suddenly pressing it to the throat of an old woman appearing out of wind with long white hair.
"And whose throat is this?" Riddick asked turning to the woman glaring at her slightly.
"If you cut my throat, I'll not be able to rescind the offer that brought you here. Nor tell you why it's so vital that you did come." The woman said looking over at him.
"The blade comes off when the bounty comes off." Riddick said glaring at the woman.
"This is Aereon, an envoy from the Elemental race. She means you no harm." Imam said walking towards Riddick a little bit.
"There are very few of us who have met a Necromonger and lived to speak of it. So when I choose to speak of it, you should choose to listen." Aereon said disappearing in her wind reappearing a little farther away from Riddick.
"Necromonger." Riddick said as if testing the word out turning to Aereon his face questioning.
"It is the name that will convert or kill every last human life...unless the universe can rebalance itself." Aereon said looking at Riddick.
"Maybe you should pretend like you're talkin' to someone educated in the penal system. In fact, don't pretend." Riddick said glaring at Aereon.
"Balance is everything to elementals. Water to fire. Earth to air. We have 32 different words for it. But now we have only time to speak of the balance of opposites. There is a story, Riddick, of young male Furyans...strangled at birth... strangled with their own cords." Aereon explained ignoring what Riddick just said.
"When Aereon told this story to the Helion leaders, I told her of you." Imam said stepping up next to Aereon staring at Riddick as if asking for forgiveness.
"What do you know of your early years? Do you remember your home world? Where it was? Have you met any others?" Questions were rapid fired at Riddick who had his back to them contemplating for a moment.
"Others like yourself?" Aereon asked looking at Riddick stepping forward.
"Sister, they don't know what to do with just one of me." Riddick said turning towards Aereon as knocking rang through the house.
"Open up in there.!" A man ordered from outside the knocking continued more urgently.
"Stand Back." "Open up!" Was yelled as the knocking became slamming.
"They are searching houses!" Lajjun said as she ran into the room her husband shh'ed her.
"They look for a man who came here today. They think he might be a spy." Lajjun said looking at Riddick.
"A spy?" Imam asked looking surprised.
"Did someone see him come here today? Did they?" Lajjun asked glaring at Riddick slightly for endangering her family.
"Lajjun, stop.!" Imam ordered looking at her.
"We're sure he's in there.!" The men outside yelled.
"I will send them away. But wait one minute, please. Will you wait one minute to save worlds?" Imam asked walking towards the door turning back towards Riddick.
"Not my fight." Riddick said about to crawl through the window and meet back up with Saiya.
"So, you will leave us to our fate, just like you did her?" Imam asked looking at Riddick who turned slightly towards him.
"Break it down.!" The man outside commanded, the door banged in on itself as they smashed through it.
"Get him!" Was yelled from downstairs as troops stormed into the house.
"Come. Let us try to send them away." Imam said leading everyone downstairs to try and send the troops away.
"Move it. Come on." A voice commanded pushing everyone to the side while they checked there identity's.
"Leave us alone.! There is no one here!" Lajjun yelled as Ziza was passed to her by one of the troops.
"You don't understand. He can help us.! He can help us.!" One of the hooded men yelled as the leader pointed to the stairs.
"GO!" The leader said as men ran up the stairs stopping in front of the slightly opened door to the room Riddick was standing in back to them.
"You're not afraid of the dark, are you? The light hurts my eyes." Riddick said snuffing out the candles with his hands pulling out a knife. Gunfire and the sound of men falling to the ground rang out along with cries of "Get him! Where is he?".
"In there." A soldier said pointing to the room as others joined falling as quickly as the others. Riddick walked down the stairs and the troop holding a knife to Imam's throat dropped it running out of the room.
"You mentioned her." Riddick said walking down the stairs.
"She, uh... She went looking for you. People died. She went to prison. L... I don't remember where. But it was a world so hot you could not survive on the surface." Imam explained looking up at Riddick his eyes showing his thanks.
"Crematoria." Riddick said quietly standing in front of Imam.
"Young Jack. She thought of you as her older brother. She worshipped you." Imam said trying not to show fear as Riddick pointed his knife at him.
"You were supposed to watch her." Riddick said as everyone began filing out of the house standing in the courtyard.
"She never forgave you...for leaving just when she needed you most." Imam said gathering the courage to glare at him.
"She needed to stay away from me. You all do." Riddick said walking towards the entrance.
"Riddick. Are you gonna stop the new monsters now?" Ziza asked looking innocently up at the big man. Riddick turned from her towards the entrance pulling his hood up walking out.
Saiya ran through the alleys ducking into and out of shadows. Shots, screams, and thuds rang around her as soldiers or whatever they were from the invading side dropped down from ships that dropped them.
'I need to find Riddick and fast I don't stand a chance if these guys catch me.' Saiya thought skidding to a stop at the group of soldiers in front of her. Eyes widening her eyes flashed black and the nearest soldiers to her fell to there knees. Taking a stop back as the soldiers ran at her two grabbing her bringing her towards there leader.
"The Lord Marshall will be interested in this girl take her back to the ship." The leader ordered looking Saiya up and down. Saiya screamed scratching and kicking at the two holding her. The soldiers looked unfazed as the one to her right brought his fist down on her head knocking her unconscious, Saiya slumped forward.
:Some Time Later:
"Why did you bring this girl back? The conversion isn't until tomorrow." Lord Marshall said glaring at the two in front of him looking the girl up and down.
"She did something weird with her eyes sir and brought down 5 of our men without even touching them." The one that had knocked Saiya unconscious said.
"Really Damien what did she do put the control collar on her." Lord Marshall ordered as Malicah nodded grabbing the collar strapping it around her neck.
:5 Minutes Later:
Saiya's eyes fluttered open her hands automatically going to the collar strapped securely around her neck. Eyes darkening she watched as the two soldiers dropped to there knees the guy who seemed to be the leader of everything was unfazed.
"That won't work on me. If you get on your knees and ask to be purified you will be spared." The man said his voice commanding. Saiya glared at him, suddenly her body began moving of it's own accord as she got to her knees.
"I'm asking to be purified." Saiya said unable to stop her self her eyes returning to normal.
"You heard her take her to the purifier." The man said as the two soldiers pulled her to her feet, dragging her between them towards the purifier. Saiya screamed as the spikes were pierced into her neck and she was hung, the drugs kicked in and she knew nothing more.
I know Saiya's part was pretty confusing but well. Riddick's was pretty self explainatory and Saiya's not so much anyway read and review please.
