What happens

The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury is a 2004 American anime-influenced adult animated science fiction short film distributed by Universal Studios Home Video and animated by Sunwoo Entertainment and DNA Productions. It was directed by Korean-American animator Peter Chung. It features the returning voices of Vin Diesel, Rhiana Griffith, and Keith David reprising their roles from Pitch Black, as Richard B. Riddick, Imam Abu al-Walid, and Jack, respectively. An animated installment to the Chronicles of Riddick series, the film acts as a bridge point between Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick, the latter released on the same year, and explains why Riddick decides to go into hiding and deliver Jack and Imam Abu al-Walid to New Mecca, setting up the events for the second film. The short film received mixed reviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
