*Blackout walks away with David Robert Jones and TPK, completely ignoring Zev and Company*
*they enter a secret room, and lock it*
TPK: I knew it. They will betray us the moment Uterio is out of the equation.
David Robert Jones: Which, I may remind you, is exactly what we plan to do to them.
Blackout: This is exactly the eventuality for which I planned. This is the Dark Mirror version of Klak proposing to betray us, so all it would take to get him to stop is a note and some pictures, to prove we are not bluffing.
TPK: I thought you were going to save that trump card for later?
Blackout: I am. I will not turn against them until I still have all the aces I need up my non-existent sleeves.
David Robert Jones: What are those aces? You never told us.
Blackout: Very simple. There is the Visitor. There is the sphere I had stolen from the Uterio stronghold, which is a device which can find anyone in any reality and transport you to their location. The Toa of Water the Visitor captured, well, you already know that one. The Terugan Yon, whom the Architect imbued with some of his power, is another. The Dreadnought is yet another. And, last but not least, the Heralds of Unicron. Since their master's destruction at the hands of yours truly, they have been hiding. I know where they are, and I know how to get them to work for me.
TPK: I see.
Blackout: Of course, another requirement for our victory is that the moment Uterio is defeated, we turn on them. They know we will betray them, and we know they will betray us: we do not have the element of surprise there. We must therefore gain the element of surprise by turning on them as quickly as possible. We also have one other advantage. They do not know where our world is. Therefore, they will be forced to expend resources to find it, while we hit them everywhere.

*on the Icy Planet*
Robots: Surrender. *They point their electric hands at him*
Yon: ... Okay.
*He puts his hands up*
*suddenly, there is an explosion*
*a cloud of black smoke appears, and turns into the Visitor*
The Visitor: Nice try, Serecio, but this one's mine. *he stuns Yon with an energy blast, takes out all the robots but one with lightning bolts, then walks up to the last one and rips off his arms* Go to your master, and tell him I said hello.
*the robot runs off*
*he then teleports himself and Yon back to the Alliance homeworld, drags him into a cell, locks it, and walks away*
*he then sends a telepathic message to Blackout*
Visitor: The annoying alien has been captured.
Blackout: Excellent. *out loud, to DRJ and TPK* Well. It seems I have yet another ace up my sleeve now.
