A/N~ I felt kind of evil making you guys wait that long, this is a short filler, designed to fill that huge hole in the movie. It's not much so I feel bad but here you go.

Riddick glanced in Emily's direction, not really surprised that she was there. It had been too long since the last time they had met up. He moved to look at her head on and say something, but the sound of rattling chains and a sickening crack that meant a guy had just gotten his ass handed to him on a silver platter made him turn.

Jack, sitting on a rock, watched as Riddick looked up at her and took his goggles off to see through the steam. She wrapped the chain around her arm and glanced at Emily, who had rolled her eyes.

Riddick was distracted by some idiot whose name Emily couldn't remember and really didn't care to. The man talked on about inmates and convicts and acting like he owned the place, Emily made a face at him.

She watched as Jack slipped away and was about to follow when Riddick turned himself just so, it was enough to block Emily from leaving. She opened her mouth to protest.

"Hey, Emily!" James hurried over to her, "Are you ok?"

Emily smiled up at his worried face, "Yes, I'm fine, thank you for worrying."

"Good, I was worried something was wrong when you just ran off like that…" he stopped when he realized she wasn't paying attention, she was watching Riddick.

"So, which are you going to be?" the man asked him.

Riddick glanced at the spot where Jack was, then at Emily. He pulled his goggles back down over his eyes, "Me? I'm just passing through."

The man watched as Riddick passed him, when he was gone he muttered, "Welcome to Crematoria."

"Follow me James," Emily said, she hurried after Riddick, hoping to catch him.

They passed through the steam clouds and watched as Riddick, far ahead of them, talked to Jack.

"Emily," James called, trying to get her to slow down and talked to him. "Emily!" He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back. "Tell me what's going on?"

Emily looked up at James and a look of apology crossed her face. She had been there for some weeks now, and James had been with her every step of the way. He had become a close friend and Emily was grateful for it, but in all the confusion of Riddick's appearance she had forgotten that.

"I'm sorry James, It's a long story, and I'll tell you when I get a chance, for now I'll just tell you this. I'm not exactly from here," James rolled his eyes, that was obvious," and Riddick and I know each other."

Emily turned and quickly caught up to Riddick, just as Jack jumped away. She slowed to a stop next to him and watched as Jack fell through the steam. Riddick touched the scratch on his cheek in thought.

"Riddick, man am I glad to see you, it's been way to long!" A grin was on her face as she watched the man turn to look at her.

"You were on Helion Prime," he said bluntly.

"Yes! The guards thought me and my friends were bad guys and tried to bring us in! But in the mix up, there was a little accident and I ran and then got caught and sent here!"

Riddick processed this info, "So where's Kiba?"

"Oh, I'll show you!" It was at this time James caught up and Riddick gave him a once over and smirked before following the now 22 year old woman. (The rest of Riddick's thoughts are censored, except for the fact that, during his perverted episode, he heard the sound of an animal snarling off in the distance)

Emily led him to the cell while James followed behind in a foul mood. She pulled on the cell door and it creaked open. Inside, Riddick could hear a distinctly large snarl, much bigger than Kiba. He cocked his head, wondering what this woman had locked up in here.

She walked in and both men followed her into the dark cell.

"Leo, Kiba, what's going on?"

The two were each in their own corner, snarling at each other, it made a funny sight. Riddick raised and eyebrow, wondering how the fuck Emily got 'Leo' to be her pet.

"This little twit has been pushing my every scale, and I swear upon whatever god you want, that I can not stand it one more second." James rolled his eyes and sat down on a groove in the wall, meant to serve as a bed.

Riddick sat down as well, Leo's voice had thrown him for a second, but he had accepted the fact that he could talk and moved on.

"Yeah, well, this big jerk has been yanking my tail all day!"

Riddick glanced at Kiba and back at Leo, then to Emily.

"Ok, sorry to interrupt your little family meeting here, but what the hell is going on?"

He stood and moved in front of Emily.

"Oh, it's a long story and all, but Kiba can only talk because of Leo's telepathy."

Riddick lifted a hand and placed it on the wall, leaning on it, as if to block Emily from walking away. Leo's hackles rose in warning, Kiba rolled his eyes but there was a hint of warning in them.

"I've got time," he said, in a tone that said it all. Emily nodded, and blurted out everything.

"Well, a few years after you left I started wondering about if I would ever see you again, and I was all like, OMG I'm 22 years old now. So me and Sarah went to the movies and we ran into Kiba and Cody. And when we were watching the movie I had this gut feeling you were close by, so we walked through this emergency door and it lead to Helion Prime. The guards thought we were bad, two guys died in the struggle. I ran and found Imam, told him to tell you I was there. The next thing I know, I'm cornered in an alley, some dude jumps me, I wake up on a merc ship going to Crematoria, and I'm old." She took a break to breathe in which time Leo and Kiba glanced at each other. "Then I met James and we had fun hanging out but then I realized I hadn't seen Kiba, so we got Leo to help and I got thrown in to the hellhound cell and got Kiba out and promised that when we got out of Crematoria, Leo could come with." Emily looked up at Riddick's goggled eyes. "And then you came."

Riddick didn't move for a second, and then he pushed himself away from the wall and pulled his goggles off, revealing his silver eyes. "So, this is just another story from your world." It wasn't a question; Emily nodded.

There was an awkward silence that followed. James, who had been leaning against the wall with his hands behind his head sat up, blinking.

"Did I miss something?"

"Try a few years of something," Kiba muttered. James glanced at the wolf with a thoughtful look.

"So it's safe to assume you're going to be pulling off some more life threatening stunts to save people who were originally supposed to die because you feel it's the right thing to do." Once again, it wasn't a question.

Emily scratched her chin in thought, then in a very Emily like way she smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "Most likely!"

Riddick's lip twitched and he made a noise in the back of his throat, signaling his disapproval.

Emily shrugged and turned away from him, her hands found their way into her back pockets and she kicked a rock away from her foot.

"Sorry Riddick, I'm not like you. If I don't, I'll just feel like it's my fault that those people died." A more mature side had taken over her; she sighed and pulled her hands from her pockets. "We'll be here for a while, I don't know exactly how long, most likely a day or two…" she drifted in thought, her fist over her mouth. She stood like that for some time. Five minutes later she glanced around, noticing that the others were staring at her, "What?"

James sighed, "Why don't we go scrounge up some food?" he asked, standing up and brushing dirt off the seat of his pants.

Both Leo's and Kiba's eyes lit up in delight. They both made a move to follow but Emily put her foot down, literally. She stood with her fists on her hips and her feet spread.

"You know better," she drawled in a warning voice.

Both animals lowered their heads with a sigh.

"I'll bring you back food, and Leo, no more picking off random prisoners, it's disgusting," Emily turned and walked out of the cell.

Riddick and James glanced at each other before following.

"I miss Pizza!" Emily whined as they stood in line for food.

"Nothing I can do about that," James replied as he tossed something like a chicken nugget into his mouth.

"And Starbucks…"

"What the fuck is Starbucks?" James gave her an odd look.

"Frozen coffee."

James nodded in understanding, who wouldn't miss that? Riddick stood behind him, leaning against the shelf that served as a marker for the food line. His arms crossed, he seemed to be thinking.

"This reminds me of school," Emily said with a sigh, "The only things missing are the yucky yellow trays and that nasty old lady with the hair net."

"Will you stop doing that?!" James cried.

"Doing what?" She pouted at him.

"Thinking and whining about the past," he replied with a raised eyebrow. James had pulled off his green bandana and tied it around his head, pushing his hair up. A few strands of bright red hair fell over it and into his eyes.

"Oh, sorry, I kind of miss it," she sighed. The line moved up and all three of them almost grudgingly moved up too.

"So what were you doing after I left?" Riddick asked from no where.

Emily glanced back it him before answering, "I was in college, studying to be a fashion designer and a writer."

"So you got over it?" Riddick asked.

"No, I just got bored with sitting at home," Emily deadpanned. Riddick shook his head as Emily stepped up to get her food.

Riddick stood under the stream of water that fell from a broken pipe. While trying to rinse the stink and sweat off of him, he let his mind drift towards the subject of Emily and how she was changing things. Normally people wouldn't be able to tell, but, now that he thought about it, every time she saved someone there was a distinct feeling. He knew that it wasn't supposed to go that way, like it was wrong.

James and Emily sat near buy, playing some sort of game with odd pieces of junk they had found laying around.

"You cheated" James pointed out.

"Do you have proof?" Emily asked, staring him down.

"I know what I saw!" He cried.

"It must have been the heat, tricking your poor little brain," she cooed, as if to a child, and ruffled his hair. He sat Indian style and dropped his head onto his fist that was propped on his knee, fuming.

Riddick stepped out of the stream of water, touching the cut on his cheek. He looked up, feeling someone watching him, only to find Kyra.

A/N~ yup yup, read and review. I want so badly to call James Lavi and give him an eye-patch to top it all off. Sigh.

On Helion Prime~

"Do you think she's coming back?" A slightly ruffled Sarah asked.

Cody shook his head with a sigh. Then he seemed to brighten.

"It's ok Sarah, she'll be back, I owe he money!"
