SHADES OF EVIL

Dominion couldn't stop laughing. He finally caught the one person who had ruined his life. Now he has his chance to completely ruin Diablo's life.

"That was much too easy", Dominion said to himself as he piloted the shuttle away from New Iceland.
"I didn't expect that one shot was all that was needed to knock you out Diablo."
"It was perfect timing that made this as easy as it was. With Xaxarus keeping your leader Waitstate occupied and that trader keeping everyone else busy, it left you alone by yourself."
Dominion quickly laughed to himself.
"Now the odds are in my favour even more since LONAC is probably too busy worrying about what happened in that attack, to be thinking about where you are."
"I doubt that Chameleon will be able to find me by himself, and I also doubt that yourself, Chameleon, or Powerplay have said a thing about me to any of the LONAC crew either."

Dominion entered a set of co-ordinates into the shuttle computer, then set it to autopilot. Once that was done he got up out of his seat and walked over to where Diablo lay on the floor. He then kicked Diablo against the back wall of the shuttle. Once again, he walked over to where Diablo was, but this time he picked him up with one hand, and tore off Diablo's shoulder cannons with the other.

"I can't let you have a chance to defend yourself when you wake up", he said to himself as he threw Diablo back onto the shuttle floor. Carrying the cannons, Dominion proceeded back over to his seat and took control of the shuttle once again.

**A Short Time Later**

The shuttle slowly approached a small asteroid. The asteroid was covered with craters, some large, some much smaller. Dominion piloted the shuttle carefully into one of the larger craters. The shuttle moved slowly inside the crater as it approached an airlock that was carefully hidden. Dominion docked the shuttle, and made his way over to where Diablo was. He picked up Diablo and dragged him over to the airlock. Dominion entered several numbers into the console by the airlock. The computer verified the code, then opened the airlock. Dominion continued along, walking into the main chamber, still dragging Diablo along behind him. The chamber was filled with a vast array of devices and weapons.

He stopped at the main computer console and dropped Diablo
"Computer, activate asteroid defence grid"
Dominion noticed that Diablo was beginning to move again. "Ahh, good to see your back online again Diablo."
"Defence grid online."
"There, now anyone who comes looking for you will have a surprise"
"Well that's just great isn't it. I come back online and the first thing I see is your face." Diablo replied
"Oh, I assure you Diablo that it'll be the last thing you see aswell."
