The group returns to the crash site on a solar-powered sand truck to retrieve more power cells for the dropship before the eclipse, but it begins just as they get there. Creatures pour out of the ground and rip Shazza in half. After regrouping, Riddick agrees to Fry and the others to lead them back to the dropship on foot through the darkness, thanks to his special sight, and the group salvages for any sources of light they can find to scare away the creatures. The trip back to the dropship starts with the power of their light sources getting accidentally cut after Paris is killed and has them cross their tracks. After Riddick reveals to the group Jack is actually female and the scent of her menstrual blood is drawing the attention of the creatures, Johns suggests to Riddick that he use Jack as bait to keep the creatures away from the rest of the group. But Riddick engages Johns in a hand-to-hand fight, wounds him, and leaves him as a distraction instead. The rest of the survivors push on, while Riddick drags the power cells behind him.
