A New Beginning
Disclaimer: I don't own
Chronicles of Riddick but I do own the plot, the story and any OCs.
Pairings:
Riddick/Kyra/Elestir (OMC) Vaako/Linihir (OMC)
Warnings:
SLASH, HET, MPREG, HET PREG., AU, Language, Action, OOC, OC…and anything else
will be at the top of future chapters in bold.
NOTES: I got most of the info from the book, some of it
from the movie, and a lot of it was made up. I know that Riddick cant see
colors clearly but we're going to pretend that during the daytime when not
bright that he can see normally and that at night he sees things like in the
movie. Ok? Ok. ALSO…I'm taking some of the info about elves from the Lord
of the Rings stuff so that's where I got that from.
Chapter
One:
Riddick
looked out over the men bowed down before him. He was a ruler now.
He ruled thousands of people. And yet, he was alone.
&&&&&
Riddick's
POV
It has been two days since the death of Lord
Marshal. Kyra was up abouabout now. Healed. Never thought I'd say
this…but I'm happy.
&&&&&
lasslass=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>Two
Kyra and I have earned respect from all the
men. I've stopped all the purges and destruction of the planets…all the
converting of people to the faith known as Necroism. It turned out that
they were all being controlled by the Quasi-Dead—beings that the Necromongers
revered...representatives of a unique order founded by Kryll.
The technology
that preserved their bodies from final decay allowed the Quasi-Dead to serve as
hosts for minds that were ruthless and insightful. The Quasi-Dead were all
but freed from their physical forms…this allowed them to insert themselves into
the mental pathways of subjects…they were able to view and search for answers.
So I got rid
of them. Put them onboard a ship and sent them to my favorite planet with
three suns.
They didn't
like that much at first. The Necromongers. But after a while the hold
that the Quasi-Dead had on them became dead. Now they were just a new
race of people. Some still cause problems, but we don't have time for
that.
There is a
new enemy to fight.
A new force
has challenged the Necromongers. Has challenged me.
The Shadowden.
A race of men and woman who were mutated by the Necromongers years
before. When the Lord Marshal was still in charge of things.
They were to
be the Army. But they were failed creations. The Lord
Marshal made the mistake of not destroying them. Instead…he left them to
fend for themselves on a dark planet. Where there is sun only two hours a
day.
Thousands….Tens
of thousands were dumped on that planet. Although they've reproduced by
now. All these years later. Of course they have.
They age
slower then humans…so while the Shadowden have been on Nuron 5 for fifteen
years…they only aged two. They are smart…stealthy…strong…have no
conscious…almoerfeerfect weapons of destruction. With one fault.
They can think for themselves. That made them a threat to the
Necromongers. So the Lord Marshal got rid of them for good. Or so
he thought.
From the
reports that I got…they are readying themselves for war. War with the
Necromongers.&n But But they're not quite ready yet. We still have a
while till they are. At least a year or so. But when they are
ready…Let them come.
/p>
&&&&
"What
do you want now Aereon?" I asked when I sensed her presence behind
me. I'm in the war room looking over more reports about the Shadowden
with Vaako. Despite his initial reluctance about my presence here…he sure
has warmed up to me. But I sense the respect in him. I know he
won't challenge me. So I let him stay. His wife on the other hand…now she
had to go. Putting all those ideas in his head. With no tongue to
speak and no hands to write with…she's not much of a bother anymore. Now he's
looking for a new partner. Male or female…he doesn't seem to care.
But he said he was looking for the perfect mate.
I heard
Aereon sigh behind me before she appeared on the o sid side of the long table.
"What?"
I ask again. I'm just about tired of her games. She is always
wanting something. I don't know why I keep her around.
"My
son…" She trailed off.
"What
about him?"
She glanced
over at Vaako and then back to me. Silently asking that he leave.
"No.
He stays." I said shortly. She sighed again.
"Very
well." She agrees. "My son has been captured and sent to one of
the maximum security prisons…and I was wondering if you could—"
I
interrupted her. "You were wondering if I could rescue him." I
finished. She nodded and looked off to the right. "No." I said.
Aereon's
head snapped back around so fast I thought it would snap off. I smirked
at that thought.
"But
you must!" She yelled putting both hands down on the table.
I pulled out
one of my shivs and stabbed the table just near her fingers. She jumped
back startled. "Don't tell me what to do!" I yelled
back. "I'm tired of you dictating to me!"
"There…there
is a prophecy—"
"Oh
another onnbspnbsp; What the fuck is it with you and your prophecies
anyway?" I started calming down. She isn't really worth me getting
worked up over.
"He is
important to the survival of the Necromongers. To the survival of you and
Kyra." She finished softly.
The part about
Kyra's survival caught my attention. I'm going to regret this…I know I
am. "How?"
She sighed
in relief. Don't get your hopes up Windy. I'm just curious.
"My son
doesn't belong in a dark prison. He is not strong enough to
survive. He was only captured an hour ago. If you go now…you can
save him."
Ia'>I narrowed
my eyes. "You didn't say anything about how he is important to the
continuation of all our lives." I spread my arms out wide as I said
this. "You have one more chance."
"He is
an Elemental like myself. But he is unlike any other Elemental
alive. My element is air. Every Elemental has one element only.
But not him…he has them all.&n And And he can use them in the battle
against the Shadowden. He will be the reason that Kyra doesn't die in
upc
upcoming war. I have seen it. And he will become important to both
you and Kyra. But I can not tell you why."
"Why
can't he just escape from this prison then?" I asked. If he is
so powerful…why wouldn't he be able to take care of himself down there and then
escape? Why does he need me?
going where?" Kyra asked me as I walked around our room getting ready.
She was lounging on our bed in a short silk nightdress. She only just
woke up. It's about eight in the morning. I got up at five.
But with the baby and all. God I can't believe I'm going to be a
father. Who would have thought it really. Me. A murderer and
escaped convict. A father. She's almost nine months along
now. The doctors said the baby will be due any day now. She doesn't
believe me when I tell her…but she still looks beautiful.
"I
have to go back to Crematoria." I said as I put on a tight black
tank and then my black boots.
"Crematoria! Why the fuck you wanna go back to
that shit hole?" She asked sitting up as quickly as her round stomach
would let her.
"Aereon."
I said shortly.
"Wis
ts
there?" Kyra asked confused.
I smirked at
the name. "No, but her son is." Now that I'm ready I'm
sitting over in the chair by the window. She still looked confused so I
told her what Aereon said.
"So
he's going to save my life huh?" She thought about it for a moment
longer and then coming to some sort of decision in her head she stood.
"Well, alright. When do we leave?"
"We?"
I ask flatly. "We aren't going anywhere. I'm going
to Crematoria. Be gone about a week." I paused calculating the
days. "Yeah. So don't have that kid till I get back." I
stood from my chair.
"Why
can't I go?"
I just
raised my eyebrows and made a pointed glance toward her large stomach.
Kyra huffed
but sat back down on the bed.
"That's
my girl." I walk over to her and kiss her deeply. "I'll
be back as soon as I can. Take care of yourself and don't get into
trouble while I'm gone, hear?" I ask looking her in the eyes.
Beautiful green eyes. She still wants that shine job, but I won't let her
get it. Her eyes are breathtaking. She'll probably get it done one
day when I'm not looking, but until that day comes…
"Can I
at least walk you out?" She asks.
I pull my
goggles down so she doesn't see me roll my eyes. "Yeah, get dressed
then."
I watch as
she changes clothes. Smooth tanned skin…a scar here and
there. She's not toned anymore because of the baby, but that'll be fixed
when the kid is born. Yeah, she's beautiful. And all mine.
Kyra put on
some of my pants with a belt, one of her own tanks, and her boots. She can't
fit into her pants anymore and she won't wear a dress…so she's taken to wearing
my stuff. She even wears my tanks sometimes. "Alright, I'm
ready." She grabbed a hair tie off the dresser and put her curly
hair in a ponytail.
I grabbed her hand and we
left to find Vaako and the rest of the men going with us.
&&&&&
"Alright.
Let's go then." I said to Vaako after he told me the ship was ready.
We were outside on the steps. I looked down at Kyra. She had one
hand rubbing a spot on her stomach and the other on her back.
"He's
kicking again." She said with a smile.
I
grinned. That's my boy. He's gonna be a fighter. Just like
his old man. I reached a hand out and touched a spot on her tummy.
I looked back up at her. "You're in charge here, but don't over do
it. Ask for help if you need it. Hell ask Aereon. She owes us
by now. And don't go anywhere alone." I said that last
part softly. We had some people who still weren't quite happy with the
change in leadership. And with Kyra pregnant…she can't defend herself too
much.
"I
won't. Promise."
I
kissed her one last time and then headed for the ship. Vaako ahead of me.
"Riddick."
Vaako
stopped and turned around. I stopped too, but didn't turn.
"What?"
Aereon
appeared before me and handed me a fleximage. "This is information
on my son."
I
nodded and walked past her. Vaako and I boarded the ship and the hatch
closed.
"Ready?"
Vaako asked.
"Yeah.
Let's get this over with." I stated.
I
sat down in one of the empty seats and strapped in. We took off.
Once we were stable I unbuckled and took out the fleximage. I turned it
on and looked through the information. It was about why he was captured and his
location. It seems he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The wrong time being during on one of the raids on Zeron 1. It's a dreary
planet. Not much really there except bare mountains, a few trees, lakes
and such. It's where most criminals go to hide out.
At
the end were a picture, his name and some info about the man.
His
name is Elestir. He had a slim toned frame, long blonde hair down to his
lower back, blue eyes, and pale creamy skin. He was beautiful. I
smirked. He'd look good with Kyra and me. I don't think I'll regret
this as much as I thought.
"What's
so interesting?"
I
looked up at Vaako as he came and stood next to my seat. "This is
our mission."
"Pretty."
He stated.
"Yeah,
but you can't have him." I said turning off the fleximage.
Vaako
raised a brow. "Why? Want him for you and your girl?"
I
smirked again. Some of the Necromongers had relaxed quite a bit around
Kyra and me. Still proper in meetings and what not, but for the most
part…weren't uptight anymore.
"Yeah,
thinking about it." I paused and took off my goggles.
"You'll find yours someday. But make sure the next one isn't as
conniving like Dame yeah?"
Vaako
grinned slightly. "Yeah."
&&&&&
Crematoria.
It
was a barren world; teetering on its axis and positioned too close to it's
sun. One half was roasting in the fires of Hell at over 700 degrees while
the other was well below freezing.
It
took two days to reach the planet. We landed when it turned night at the
prison. After we went inside we were led down to the control room to see
the new man who had been put in charge. He was a disgusting short fat man
with no hair and pockmarks all over his face. He stood when we
entered.
"Ah,
Lord Riddick. I had heard that you were coming to see one of our
prisoners. We were told to keep him unharmed." He grinned
slightly and shrugged. "But you know, we can't be around all the
time."
I
had him pinned against the wall before he took his next breath. "You
went against orders?" I asked quietly.
"I-I-I—"
He stuttered.
I
banged his head against the wall and he fell to the ground unconscious.
I put my goggles in my pants pocket and looked out the window. It
seemed the hellhounds were feeding. The hellhounds got their name from
their appearance. They had a dog look about them…only they didn't possess
a shred of canine DNA in their bodies. And at times they appeared cat
like in the way they moved but they didn't have feline DNA running through
their veins either. They were fully an alien species…imported from a
world noted for the ferocity of its native animals. Hellhounds are in no
ways domesticated animals…although they usually followed their training, but
like any wild animal…they could turn on you at any second.
There
were only two hellhounds I could see. I don't know where the others were.
I turned to look at the crew that had come with me. "Stay
here. Vaako, you come with me."
We
were lowered on a rope to the ground floor. The two hellhounds turned and
came running towards us. They stopped before us growling and baring their
sharp teeth. I squatted before them and looked them in the eyes.
Unflinching. They stopped growling after a moment and their color turned
back to the neutral gray.
A
guard came up behind us gun pointed at the hellhounds.
"I'm
taking them back with me." I stated after I stood.
The
guard lo lik like he wanted to say something but stopped after a look from
Vaako.
"Do
they have names?" The two hellhounds were wrestling with each other
in front of me.
The guard
looked down at the two dog like creatures. "The one with the long
scar across his eye is Demon. And his brother is Angel. He was
named that because he is more even-tempered than his brother. The two of
them don't get along with the others except for Hellios, but he's been missing
for a couple days…probably dead…so I guess it's good that they're
leaving..." He trailed off.
"Yeah,
whatever. I need to get to work." I thought for a second and
then pulled out the fleximage I brought with me. I had already memorized
everything on it, but I brought it incase I needed to show the picture to
anyone.
I squatted
down again. "Hey!" I yelled. The two hellhounds stopped
wrestling and came and sat in front of me. I showed them an enlarged
picture of Elestir. "Where is he?"
I didn't
know if it would work or not, but it was worth a shot.
They stared
at the picture a moment longer and then stood up. Vaako and I followed
them as the started walking towards a cave on the ground floor. They
stopped at the entrance and pawed at the ground. I grinned.
"Good boys." I pat their heads as I passed them to enter the
cave. "Stay." I said to them and Vaako.
It was dark in the cave but I could see him
anyway. I doubt he could see me though. I found him in the back
sitting against the wall. He was petting something lying at his
side. I smirked. One of the hellhounds. Hellios most
likely. As I got nearer the hellhound got up and growled.
"Shh…"
Elestir said. He spoke to it in a strange language. One I've never
heard before. But whatever he said, it seemed to calm the beast down.
I squatted
in front of the two. The hellhound sat still at Elestir's side baring his
teeth at me. I shifted my weight to be directly in front of him. We
stared at each other for a few minutes before he calmed down. He huffed
once and then lay back down.
Elestir
continued petting the hellhound. "What did you come here
for?" He asked softly. He voice was a soft musical
sound. It was unlike anything I had ever heard before from a male.
"I came
here for you." I stated shortly. He looked directly into my
eyes. Even though it was darker than night all the way back here, it
seemed he could tell where everything was.
"Why?"
"Because
apparently, me and Kyra need you in our life." I'll leave it there
for now. "So come on. We've been here long enough."
I stood and walked back to the entrance of the cave. Elestir reached it a
second later with the hellhound at his heels. Now that he was standing I
could see what he was wearing. His long sleeve dirty white shirt and
tight tan pants were made out of some sort of stretchy cloth and he was wearing
dark brown boots. I'm surprised he didn't tear off the sleeves it's so
hot down here. Demon and Angel jumped to their feet at the sight of the
hellhound. They yipped and jumped on top of him rolling around.
"Hellios!
Damned creature. Where have you been?" The guard took a step
toward them but stopped when all three growled.
"We'll
be taking him as well." I said walking towards the rope. I
looked back at Elestir. "You first."
He nodded and
climbed quickly up the rope. The boy's sure got energy for being down
here for three days. Vaako went up after him. I looked down at the
three hellhounds sitting at my feet. They had sharp claws. I looked
up at the rock surdingding the control room and then back down at them.
"Can you climb up there?"
They jumped
and climbed up to the top and into the room.
"Guess
so." I went up after them.
&&&&&
We were only
a day from home now. Elestir hadn't talked much; only to answer questions
in short words. Hellios stayed beside him the whole way so far. The
other two lay in the middle of the room where everyone had to step around
them. They growled every time someone did. It's quite
amusing. When we had taken off all three hellhounds had dug their claws
into the metal flooring to keep from flying all over the place. The techs
had just about had a fit with that.
"How
did you know where I was?"
I looked at
Elestir. He had his eyes closed. That was the first time he had
spoken first. "Your mother."
He looked up
startled. "My mother?" He asked incredulously.
I narrowed
my eyes. Why is he so surprised? "Yeah. Aereon."
He laughed
suddenly. The musical tone catching everyone's attention.
"My mother
sailed to the West." He said with a smile. "She is no
longer here.
"To the
west?"
He reached
behind him to untie his hair. After he did, he pulled it back behind his
ears. They were pointed.
My brow
furrowed. "What are you?"
"I am
one of the Immortal…an elf." He smiled again.
&&&&&
We reached
home on schedule the next day. When we landed it was about noon or
so. Kyra and some of the army were waiting on the steps when we exited
the ship. The hellhounds jumped off first growling at anyone close
by. One of the guards tried to hit Angel when he came too close with his
staff, but Angel bit it in half.
I jumped out
of the ship and landed on the bottom of the steps. "Hey!"
I yelled to the hellhounds. Everyone stopped and looked at me, including
the hellhounds. "No." I said sternly. The
hellhounds came over and sat in front of me. I bent down to their level
and even though it was bright out I lifted my goggles so they could see my
eyes. "Behave." They bowed their heads and then followed
me as I walked over to Kyra. I put my goggles back down over my
eyes. Elestir and Vaako following close behind the hellhounds.
As I neared
my wife—of more than a year—I noticed something on her face. It was a
scratch. I raised my brow. "What happened?" I took
her chin in my right hand and turned her face so I could see the mark. It
was deep but not deep enough to need stitches.
She sneered
over in the direction of some of the ladies that were grouped together a little
to the right of us. Kyra looked back at me.
"Masyaa." She paused. "I heard her talking to a few
of the other ladies saying that I wasn't good enough for you now that I was fat
with child. She was going to spread rumors that said the baby wasn't
yours…that I was a slut and that they had seen me with some of the men in the
lower Army." She licked her lips as her eyes watered. Damned hormones.
I know she hates them causing her to look weak. "She said she was
going to tell you when you returned…that you would see her as the most
beautiful woman here…she called me an ugly fat cow! God I hate these
hormones!" She lifted a sha han hand to cover her eyes.
I reached up
and removed her hand. "How did you get the cut?"
Kyra took a
deep breath as she got control of her emotions. Her mood swinging towards
anger. "I confronted her about it…I was so angry
Riddick…." She paused. "I told her that I had heard what she
said and we got into an argument. I don't remember what was said but she
pulled out a knife and slashed my cheek…" She paused again and smirked.
"What
did you do?" Even though I could tell that Kyra was upset about the
whole situation…but my girl is strong…even with the baby and I know that she
came out on top in this one.
"I
pulled out one of my own knives and cut the words 'lying slut' on her
face. One word for each cheek."
I laughed
loudly. "That's my girl!" I gave her a big kiss.
"I'll deal with her later."
Kyra
nodded. "Ok."
I saw her
look past my left shoulder at Elestir and then back at me.
"Is
that him?"
"Yeah.
Funny thing about that." I stopped and looked around.
"Aereon!"
The
Elemental appeared beside me.
"You
have some things to explain to me." I said flatly. She nodded
and walked over to Elestir. They talked quietly. "Come
on. Let's go inside." I looked down at the hellhounds. "I
brought you a present."
&&&&&
End Chapter
One
Well that's
the end of that chapter. Tell me what you think. My beta hasn't
seen the movie yet so she cant really look this story over, so if anyone would
like to be my beta for Chronicles of Riddick and any Pitch Black story that I
do…please let me know. If you see any mistakes tell me. If you can
think of a new title let me know because I don't like that one.
Notes:
The info
about the Quasi-Dead I got out of the book so it might look familiar. I
changed a few words around but it's basically the same. I just didn't
want to interrupt the flow of the story or confuse people by putting quotation
marks around it.
Fleximage:
I got this from the book. It's that thing that shows the ship to Toombs
in Crematoria.
There is
this part in the story that I use the word 'were' instead of 'is'. If you
can find it let me know so I can go back and correct it. Thanks.
