6-years later

Alice was numb, for 6-years, she could not feel anything, when she Jack, Imam and Riddick all escaped that horrible planet, barely survived the clutches of the man-eating raptors, they managed to get picked up by friendlies and just as Alice got off the ship, she was shocked to watch the skiff take off... with Riddick driving, why did he leave her? All that sweet talk about keeping what was his? Yet... he left her, she heard rumors about him for years, he was hunting but no one knew what... or who. 

Imam settled in New Mecca like he said, he found a wife and had a child, a daughter, but a year a ago, Alice heard that New Mecca was destroyed by the Necromancers, Imam was killed, his wife and daughter managed to escape and thankfully, Alice never settled in New Mecca, the universe was their home, but most of all, she wanted Riddick back, so they searched for him for years, until Jack decided to spilt to widen the search, mainly she was on a personal mission.

A week, Alice discovered that her sister was taken to Crematoria, the prison moon, the worse slam to be in, she knew Jack would never do something terrible enough to be thrown in that place, but... she remembers how much of an influence Riddick was to Jack, she remembers how Riddick got his eyes and how Jack constantly asked about them, when Riddick left, Jack did not take Riddick's departure well, but no worse than how Alice felt, to be apart from her mate was something that no words could describe, the pain numbed her heart. 

When the rumors spread to her ears again, she learned that Riddick was thrown in the same slam, Alice's heart cracked further beyond repair, she feared for Jack and Riddick and when weeks later, the worse news was delivered to Alice, the Lord Marshall finally took the only person that Alice cared and loved for other than Riddick, Jack and Alice cried for days when she heard that the Necromancers have killed Jack, but afterwards when she finally stop crying... she learned that Riddick has killed the Lord Marshall, one morning she found herself laughing, she was not in shook how great it felt to learn that her nightmare was dead, maybe for her parents will finally be at peace, but sadness rushes back to Alice's heart, that she was alone, no family, it was just her. 

Right there, Alice made it her mission to find her home planet and Riddick, it only took her a few months to find Furya, everyone warned her how the system was unstable and rumors of it being cursed was mentioned, Alice could not help but think... it's the perfect hiding place for Riddick, no one would dare to go there and when Alice finally arrived at the Furyan system, the people were not kidding about it being unstable, it was harsh to land her ship, but Alice managed to settle safe and sound. 

Systems declared the air was breathable, no toxins but some parts of the planet suffered from tidal wave of geological forces that fluctuate, creating a harsher environment and forcing any lifeform populace to adapt, but Alice managed to land on the southern part of the planet, when Alice took her first step outside, she was welcomed by warm air, grass, a view of mountains, lakes, she could see wildlife, after years of no human inhabitants, it is not surprising that wildlife took over.

It took Alice almost a year to build her life on Furya, she built her cabin home from scratch, the blood, sweat and tears were worth it when she took a step back to admire her work, the worse part of the process was getting the plumbing to work but she figured it out after 6 months.

Now that she had a new home, a permanent home, she can now find Riddick, every second she kept her radio for any hint and sign of Riddick, after months of waiting, she came across a distress beacon, it was not far from Furya and something was screaming at her that it was Riddick, and she did not want to miss any chances.

Riddick grunts as he feels the tranquilizers hits his arms and chest, feeling the effects try to slow him down but he watches his guide, the hyena, kill one of the men for him, protecting him, he struggles to stay on his feet as he grips on the shivs tightly but the more, they hit him with the darts, the more sluggish his feet felt, he could not stop himself from falling to his knees and one more shot sent him to the ground and yet, he struggled still stay alert and awake, the voices around him begins to distort and a voice yells, "bound him and someone kill that fucking dog!"

Riddick slowly closes his eyes and welcomes the darkness, but not before he hears the sounds of a ship coming and people begin shouting.

"What the fuck! Who is...?" The voice grunts as he is hit several times by the bullets from the machine gun that was attached to the ship and Boss Johns shouts, "shoot that fucker down!" Alice just glares at the people who were surrounding Riddick and continues to shoot at them, she grunts as she takes a sharp turn to avoid their gunshots, turning around fast as she could, she aims once again at the people, chasing after one with her bullets hot on their trail, one trips and falls into the gunfire, grunting in pain as blood sprays everywhere from the holes in their bodies. 

She watches a few retreating but one stayed, she glares at those eyes, she knew who he was, rumors and scanners did no justice to those cold eyes, Boss Johns, William John's father and Alice knew he was on a hellbent mission for Riddick's head, but he will have to go through her first and Alice grits her teeth as she yanks on the lever and dives the ship towards Johns, chasing after him as he runs away, Alice yells as the force of the speed shoves her against the seat, finally, she watches him slam into the glass windshield and practically holds to his dear life as she gives him a lift. 

Boss Johns grunts as he struggles to get off the glass, but the speed shoves him tight against it, he grunts and squints his eyes to see who was driving the ship and he sees a woman, he frowns in confusion while she gives him a cold, deathly stare until she flips him off and reaches for the lever again, his eyes widen in realization. 

'NO!"

Alice yells and yanks the lever back, forcing the ship to come to a complete halt and watches Johns fly off the windshield and down a canyon, she pants heavily as she listens to his screams grow distant until there was nothing and after leading the ship, Alice rushes out and towards Riddick but then skids to a halt when the hyena jumps in between her and Riddick's unconscious body, she holds her hands up in surrender as it stares down at her, growling in warning, and Alice says softly, "easy, easy, now it is okay, I am a friend, I promise." 

It continues to growl at her and watches her with caution as she slowly walks towards and around to reach Riddick, she slowly gets to her knees next to him and she begs and watches carefully, "please, I want to help, please." 

The hyena growls softly and watches her still with caution, it snarls softly when she begins to slowly touch Riddick's form, but his growls soften when he watches how gentle she was towards his master, unlike the other who he ate for a meal and Alice whispers as she keeps her eyes on the hyena, "good boy, that is a good boy."

Suddenly, they both snap their head towards the loud sound of a storm that was not too far from them and growing closer as Alice gasps and looks at the hyena as it watches her with caution again, but she could see his worry.

"Look, we both care about him, let us work together and get him to safety, okay? I am here to take him home but I guess I can spare another seat," she grins at the hyena as it peaks up, "come on, boy," she slowly holds a hand up and lets him sniff her. 

Growling softly, the hyena slowly brings his nose to her fingers, sniffing something familiar, she knew it could smell of Furyan side of her, he then perks up and begins to pant excitedly, like a dog, Alice smiles and begins to struggle to get Riddick to her ship and after a lot of pulling and yanking, even the hyena's help she finally got Riddick safe and sound on her ship.
