Kyra dies in Riddick's arms just before the Necromongers, including Vaako, kneel before Riddick as their new leader. Vaako attempts to strike the wounded Lord Marshal, who uses his powers to evade the blow but is stopped by Riddick, who takes the opportunity and swiftly kills him. When it appears that Riddick is about to be killed, Kyra stabs the Lord Marshal in the back with a spear and he punches her into a column of spikes, mortally wounding her. Riddick fights the Lord Marshal in front of his army, who keeps the upper hand with his supernatural powers. When Riddick attacks, the Lord Marshal presents Kyra, who appears to have been converted. Riddick infiltrates the main hall on the Necromongers' flagship, where Dame Vaako sees him but encourages her husband not to warn the Lord Marshal and to let Riddick strike first and pave the way for Vaako to kill the Lord Marshal and take his place as leader. Meanwhile, Vaako reports Riddick dead and is promoted to a higher rank by the Lord Marshal. Riddick then flies back to Helion Prime using Toombs's spacecraft. The Purifier then reveals that he too is a Furyan and encourages Riddick to kill the Lord Marshal before committing suicide by walking out into the scorching heat. Riddick is saved by the Purifier, who tells him that if he stays away from the Necromongers, the Lord Marshal promises not to hunt him. With the approach of the deadly sunrise, Vaako leaves Riddick to die and the Necromongers capture Kyra. All of the guards and prisoners are killed, and Riddick is incapacitated by Vaako. The guards reach the hangar, just as the prisoners arrive to find the Necromongers have cornered them there. After leaving Toombs in a cell, Riddick escapes the prison and leads several prisoners across Crematoria's volcanic surface to steal the ship. The guards kill the bounty hunters except for Toombs, take the reward money, and prepare to leave before the Necromongers arrive. In the prison, Riddick finds Jack, now named Kyra, and they reconcile with each other. Word about the Necromongers has reached the prison warden, who deduces that Toombs has stolen Riddick from them. On Crematoria, a disagreement breaks out between Toombs and the prison warden over what Toombs is owed for Riddick's bounty. Dame Vaako and her husband determine Lord Marshal wants Riddick dead, as he may be the child of said prophecy. Vaako's wife speaks to Aereon, who reveals that Furya was devastated by the Lord Marshal after he was told a child from that planet would kill him. The Lord Marshal sends Commander Vaako to hunt Riddick down. Riddick is taken to Crematoria, a harsh subterranean prison moon, where Jack, the girl Riddick also rescued, is being held. Lord Marshal orders Riddick's death, but Riddick escapes only to be recaptured by Toombs. Intrigued, the Necromongers' leader, the Lord Marshal, orders Riddick be scanned by the Quasi-Dead, half-dead telepaths, who determine that he is indeed a Furyan survivor. The next day, the Necromonger high priest called "The Purifier" coerces the populace into converting, except for Riddick, who kills the man who killed Imam. In the battle, Imam is killed and Riddick escapes. The Necromongers attack and take control of the capital in a single night. Aereon, an Air Elemental, identifies the army as the Necromongers, religious fanatics who seek to convert all human life and kill those who refuse. Imam believes Helion Prime is the next planet to be conquered by a mysterious force crusading across the stars. Imam believes Riddick is a Furyan, a member of a race of warriors long thought extinct, and wants to know about his homeworld and if anyone other than himself is left. Riddick is reunited with Imam, a holy man he rescued five years earlier. After killing a crew led by mercenary Toombs and stealing his ship on planet U.V., he heads to New Mecca on the planet Helion Prime, after Toombs reveals his bounty originated there.
