"Wake up." Her voice was deep in his sleep, whispering in his brain, calling to him in an unnatural way. He peeled his eyes open quickly, his goggles over top, shielding his eyes from the sunlight that was bathing the inside of the ship. He didn't make a noise as he turned his head and took her features in, watching as she stared out at the vast world around them. Her long hair falling over her shoulders, recently cleaned. She had a few scars and bruises on her face and arms, but he didn't mind them. Her grin was small, the curve sending a warning to his insides as he grumbled and turned away from the figment of his imagination.
Riddick pushed himself up completely, his seat sliding forward at the notion of his awake, locking into place, straps sliding over his shoulders. On his other side, watching patiently, was someone entirely different. Elnora glanced at him for a moment before returning to the controls in front of them.
"We've arrived, but it looks like your dear old friend Vaako isn't too happy to see us."
Just in front of the ship, laying open in the atmosphere of space, all facing their direction, were battleships. The armada sat just behind them, sitting in the vast emptiness. The previous Lord Marshall's souls were screaming at the universe, their goal that had been passed on had suddenly come to a stop.
"Move forward. The docking station is on the other side."
"Are you fucking seeing what I'm seeing Richard?"
"I said, move forward."
Elnora ground her teeth but did as told. She kept her eyes on all the ships around them as Riddick chanced a glance behind him to see if the ghost was still there. Just the faint smell stuck in his imagination though.
The ships laid still as they sored past the vessels, grazing through their personal space. They didn't budge. Maybe they could sense in him the key element of the initiation, the previous rise of himself through their ranks. He didn't much care. If death was the end game, he would embrace it.
They reached the station with ease, sliding into the bay that housed more warships, and a few jumpers for other means. Elnora landed the ship easily in the bay, and Riddick wasted no time rising from his seat, and heading back as the hatch opened.
There was no welcoming committee, a silence so thick. He knew something was wrong the minute he passed the surveillance desk and found no soul manning the entrance to the sacred world. Carrying down the hall, aware of the detectors that were inactivated, Riddick moved through the place he had once called home. Not a soul in the surroundings, he ran his fingers over the surface, listening to his own heartbeat and the mutters of Elnora as she followed closely behind him. They took a flight of stairs up, coming to the viewing balcony, the vast throne sitting just below.
He could see the past in front of him, amongst the empty like a bad movie that kept getting repeated. He could see the pain and sorry, hear the screams as he fought for his life and lost so many around him. He could see the shadows of Jack, of Fiona...
