[IC] The New Riddick (Arowne97 and GhostWing)

[arowne97]

James was sitting in the cage, not even bothering to do anything drastic. He was waiting for the right moment to act. He would escape when the time was right. He watched them switch out guards, glancing at the redhead that was coming over for guard duty. He knew about the bounty on his head, but he didn't really care. His first priority was survival. He'd worry about the rest later. He just watched and waited while the redhead took the place of the guard that had just left.

[GhostWing]

Caera watched the cage diligently, quickly growing bored. It'd be hours before the next merc came to switch shifts and she forgot to bring a book or some cards. It depended on the prisoner but if they weren't evil murderers and rapists, she'd normally play cards with them sitting outside the cell. "Well, I don't suppose you're up for some conversation are you?" She asked, standing and going closer but keeping a distance of 4 feet to be safe.

[arowne97]

James glanced at her. "You'd want to talk to a murderer...?" he asked, seeming calm. A bit too calm, actually. He looked at her, his eyes having that special little shine...just like a certain someone that he was related to. Well, it explained why he had insisted on keeping his goggles. "Guard duty must be boring..." he said. "Almost as boring as sitting in this cage all day."

[GhostWing]

"Do you see anyone else for me to talk to? Besides, I'm curious," She said, flashing a small smile. She sat down where she was standing and her eyes widened slightly when his eyes caught what little light was in the room. "So, are you really Riddick's son? Or was that a surgical shine job?" She asked. Her biggest secret was that she was a major fan of Riddick, everyone knew the stories about what happened on M6-117, they even knew how he kept the Necromongers from destroying New Mecca by killing the Lord Marshall. "And you're right, it is boring, I forgot my deck of cards in my room."

[arowne97]

James smirked at her. "No surgery can give you these eyes. You have to obtain them like my father did, or you have to be born with them. In my case, I was born with them." Because it was kinda dark in the room, he didn't bother putting his goggles over his eyes. "And, you know that I will get out of here, right?"

[GhostWing]

"Well, too bad I'm not Furyan, I could've used those eyes a few years ago," Caera said, setting the rifle down next to her and brought a knee up close to her chest, wrapping an arm around it. "You know, there's not much information about your crimes on the bounty sheet. What really happened back on Lupus 5?" She asked.

[arowne97]

"My father was the only Furyan with these eyes," James said. "And there's a reason that my crimes aren't explained. They sent 30 or 40 fully armed soldiers to kill me....so, in order to survive....I left no survivors....." He looked at her. "They don't want to admit that one man beat 30 fully armed soldiers that were in body armor and everything....Every time I killed one, I simply slipped into the shadows....I completely vanished...."

[GhostWing]

Caera shrugged. "Surely not the only Furyan, just the only Furyan alive at the time," She said before nodding as he explained what happened. "Nothing I wouldn't expect from the son of Riddick." She looked up as an alarm blared out and stood, rifle armed and ready. "What's going on?" She asked, mostly herself and then jumped as something rammed the door before a voice came out over the speakers. "Get men down to the holding! There's a riot and prisoners are trying to escape!" It yelled. Caera's eyes widened, while she could handle herself in a fire fight and hand-to-hand, she would not be able to handle a swarm of prisoner if they managed to break through the door.

[arowne97]

If Caera had looked closely, she could see a mark on James's left shoulder. It was the mark of the Wrath of the Furyans. Riddick had the same mark. James smirked after he heard the alarm. But, once something rammed the door, he said, "I think the prisoners are coming. Sounds like they're out for blood. If you let me out, I might be able to protect you," he said, trying to get her to open the cage so he didn't have to break it open.

[GhostWing]

Caera looked back at James and bit her lip. She knew he was right, but at the same time she was a little scared. She heard another bang and that sealed it. "I really hope I don't regret this," She said, going and starting to undo the lock. She managed to get the door open just as the outer door burst open and prisoners started flooding in.

[arowne97]

James got out of the cage, and as soon as the outer door burst open he swiftly grabbed her knife, stepping between her and the oncoming prisoners. Of course, they all stopped, knowing exactly who he was. He'd taken out multiple armed guards, so who knows what he could do to them since they're not armed whatsoever.

[GhostWing]

"Okay, now what?" Caera asked, priming her rifle to start firing. The prisoners shuffled about before a very large, very tall man stepped forward. "The mini Riddick's mine, boys, have fun with Red," He said with a dark chuckle. "Oh shit..." Caera muttered before firing into the crowd of advancing inmates.

[arowne97]

James grinned as he stood in place, waiting for the huge man to try and hit him. He only had a knife in his hand while he stood there, looking at the man, ready to kill him as soon as he tried to hit him.

[GhostWing]

Caera kept firing into the crowd of prisoners, being sure to keep track of her shots and magazines. The hulk of a man laughed again and then charged forward, trying to grab James.

[arowne97]

James easily avoided the man's grasp and slipped around behind him, before yanking him down and sinking the knife into his neck. He then stepped towards the crowd of prisoners, picking up a broken lead pipe off the floor.
