    Since the JP novel features Land Cruisers, Crichton changed the vehicles to Ford Explorers in the TLW novel to keep in line with the film. In TLW, the film, however, Mercedes cars were used. (From: Acrocanthosaur)

    Dark Force Destructor-chapter 24
    By Dac

    Chapter 24

    It appears that a whole new twist in the tail has left Icebreaker speechless! The long-time mysterious, menacing mastermind is none other than old friend Dilo-Dude! What possessed HIM to do it, of all people? Did he hide his traits all along, like Dac, Sharkey and Beno-yo? Or was he unaware of it when he was younger? Either way, he’s sure as hell aware of it now! The face from the past is back, and he means business! Can Ice rise to punch his former friend-turned-enemy in the face, or is he too astonished to act?

    He grinned.
    “Yes, it’s me. Always shocking to find out the truth, isn’t it? First your friends died pathetically in the streets, then your beloved brother paid a visit, and now another old friend is the Destructor. Pretty slick setup, right?”
    “No. Pretty sick setup, if you ask me. Why in God’s name are YOU the criminal behind this scheme?”
    “Criminal? No, just a Marjinner. I was a lowly one, not even worthy of being a Private. Look at the two COs I had! General Dac and Colonel Sharkey, our two Australian friends. They were horrible and cruel. So I trained myself in secret, and resurfaced to the Marjinners as the Dark Force Destructor!
    The name instilled fear in every Marjinner around! I rose as a leader, powerful and strong, impossible to beat! And then I was the one that pushed around those two lowlifes! I became as cruel as they did, while still maintaining my composure as Dilo-Dude. I was the greatest, and ruled this race for years!
    But then Dac and Sharkey made inquiries. I had to try hard not to slip up and show my face. Though if I did, those two cowards would probably still fear me. I became more powerful than they did, as I said before. I was practically invincible!”
    “I note the practically and the was.”
    “Er…forget I said that. Anyway, life got very boring, living at the top of a tower. But I was patient; after you were identified at the Animorphs Page, I knew you would come. I waited, and now you are finally here!”
    “But WHY?”
    Dilo-Dude sighed.
    “Have you seen the way those ruthless Aussies treat the downtrodden cadets and other low ranks? I was one of them. But I couldn’t bear to live with it. I was the first rebel, and I left. They didn’t care; there was plenty more. I was in my late teens at the time, and they were early twenties. Their fathers were officers, that was why they achieved the ranks they had. When I came to power, I demoted them, but then I gave them the ranks of Major and Captain. They were the most experienced, and somehow I needed some with experience. They chose the Corporals themselves.
    And not once did I suspect that you, a childhood friend of mine, were the lost Torbie! You were the one! I could have handed you to the Aussies’ fathers, and risen to a rank myself, and had my real name known! It was agonizing to live with the name of Destructor. I wanted to be famous, or infamous, as myself. The life as the Destructor was fun, but there were times when I caught myself wishing to be Dilo-Dude again. Not having to act as the friend of humans, but, say, Master Dilo-Dude, Lord Dilo-Dude! I can picture it now! But I couldn’t. So I staged a hologram of myself being taken prisoner so everyone would think I had been taken.”
    “What do you mean, I was the one?”
    “You were the last descendant of the only Marjinner to reach the stage you just achieved. Must be genetic. That must be why I couldn’t obtain that power level. And now I see the living proof in front of me that they exist. Oh, well, Ice, looks like it’s one on one. I wish you plenty of bad luck, but I doubt you’ll need it. I may not have obtained Ultra Marjinner power, but I’ll match it instead. It’s Ultra Marjinner Torbie on Dark Lord Dilo-Dude. This time, you’re the loser and I’m the triumphant winner.”
    He grinned.
    “Right. I’m f@#$ed if I’m gonna live on this site, and in this tower! So out of date! I have not been outside for months! Computer, open the hatches. I think my friend and I need a little time outdoors.”
    “VERY WELL,” said the flat, toneless voice of the computer.
    Hatches opened on the roof until it had all slid away.
    “Let’s fly. Don’t worry about your friends, they can watch from the top. The lift tube goes into a spire at the top. Once they get out of there, they jump down and they’re on the rooftop. After I’m done with you, I’ll annihilate them.”
    “For once I’m glad you don’t have medical insurance.”
    “Ha! Very funny. But let us get this over with. I have waited long enough to fight someone almost as powerful as I.”
    “I sure hope you’re ready to eat your words.”
    “Let’s fly.”
    The two Marjinners flew out the hatches. The lift tube fired the others into the spire. They climbed out and jumped onto the rooftop. The hatches had shut in the few seconds they had taken. Dilo-Dude gave Ice a steely grin. Ice sent his enemy a stony look.
    “You foul bastard. I don’t know why you took this life, but I’m going to punish you for it!”
    “Oh, spare me the theatrics, that’s what they all say.”
    “But this time it’s for real! You sent fellow Marjinners to their doom! You were the cause of millions of human deaths! YOU VILE MONSTER!”
    “Oh, please, I’ve heard speeches like that before. But you remember the first rule of our little child gang, right? The first rule is never kid a kidder!”
    “Ah, yes, how could I forget. So how about you stop kidding around and let’s get this over with.”
    “Finally! Someone ready to meet his demise!”
    “You’re that prepared, are you? You are smarter than you look!”
    Dilo-Dude went purple with rage.
    “FINE! YOU WANT IT LIKE THAT? EAT THIS!”
    And the long-time Dark Force Destructor charged down the warpath at one he had once known as a friend. Ice glared, and then he, too, charged.
