I had this odd idea and decided to put it in story form. Well here is my second Weyoun story. Please let me know what you all think. Reviews are always, ALWAYS welcomed. Disclaimer thing, I own nothing of the Star Trek world.

…

The wormhole was going to be taken down in a few days time. Weyoun smiled at the thought of millions of Dominion troops entering the Alpha quadrant and finally ending this war and bringing the largest prize in Dominion history under its control. The Federation was indeed a prize and he had to admit a very worthy advisory.

Gul Dukat turned out to be a surprisingly good leader. He held great potential to lead his people in the Dominion but it was unfortunate that so much of Dukat's character was stuck in the past. Weyoun knew that when the war ended the Cardassians would once again take Bajor and destroy the recovery that it had made since the occupation. A dark part of him wondered if Major Kira would simply try to kill Dukat if that ever happened for he knew she was too strong and proud a woman to simply give into Dukat's pressure of intimacy.

Currently he was walking in the Promanade heading for OPS. He became distracted with some Vedics walking into the shrine. They seemed rather agitated and one was eyeing a Cardassian woman with some concern. He normally didn't bother looking into the affairs of religious members as they were almost always non-violent. But something about their demeanor drew him to them and to find out the source of their agitation.

The Vedics entered and one stayed outside the door to stand guard. Almost laughable when he thought about it but then saw a Cardassian trying to get inside. "Is there a problem?" Weyoun asked the Cardassian. "This is a Bajoran religious shrine. Surly there is nothing of interest for you here."

The Cardassian woman looked at Weyoun now a little flustered. "That Orb belongs to the Cardassian Government. We were running research on it at the request of the Bajorans."

Now the Vedic spoke up. "That was a very long time ago under forced circumstances. The Dominion helped return what is rightfully Bajoran."

Weyoun understood what the problem was now. It was an old fight that started long before the Dominion entered the Alpha quadrant. "As part of the non-aggression pact the Dominion would offer to return lost, stolen or borrowed artifacts that were taken during the occupation of Bajor by your people."

The woman was smart enough not to question any further. The Vorta was simply being diplomatic right now but would have no problems giving her a hard time if she pressed the issue. She made her leave not wanting to push her luck.

"I'm sure we'll hear from her again." The Vedic looked at Weyoun and bowed slightly. "Thank you for your help and the Dominion's help in retrieving the Orb."

Unknowingly to the Vedic this only caused Weyoun to become curious about the Orb. "If I may I would like to see this Orb. Cardassians are not knows to steal for the sake of stealing. Petty theft is considered beneath them."

The Vedic looked at Weyoun for a moment. "If you can please wait here, I need to consult the other Vedics."

"Of course."

After a few minutes Weyoun was admitted into the shrine without the JemHadar. They stood guard at the entrance. An older Vedic brought Weyoun to the Orb. "This is the Orb of Mystery. Understand that very few are allowed to view it. It will be brought to Bajor tomorrow."

The meaning was clear, Weyoun wasn't supposed to see it or be this close but due to the odd alliance with the Dominion and his position he was given this special privilege. "What's inside the casing? I've heard rumors but am now curious to see what is inside."

Unexpectedly the older Vedic stepped aside to allow Weyoun access to the Orb. "You will have to open it. That is the way for all Orbs."

"What could possibly happen when I open it?" He looked a little concerned now.

"This is the Orb of Mystery. I honestly don't know as no living Bajoran has ever opened it."

Weyoun almost rolled his eyes at the Vedics worry. He reached for the casing and opened it to find what he had expected to see. A turning object of light. "That is what I expected to…" Then a flash of light filled the room and he found himself on the floor looking up at some rather frightened Vedics.

As Weyoun made to stand he found that his clothes were much too large for him and that everyone was far taller than before. He looked at his hands and they were so small and smooth. The age in them seems to have been erased.

The older Vedic spoke. "Contact Kai Winn. Tell her she must come to the station straight away and tell her it has to do with the Orb." He looked down at Weyoun who was now in a mixed state of shock and growing anger.

"What happened to me?" He was going to ask more but his voice sounded so unfamiliar to him. Then he saw something in the corner of his eye and turned to it. He looked into the reflection of one of the prayer mandellas and saw a very young face stare back at him.

The JemHadar soldiers heard something happen and saw a flash of light. They entered and for the first time ever the JemHadar held a look of pure confusion. "Where is Weyoun?"

"I'm right here. That Orb did something to me." He wanted to move but he was too busy holding the clothes to himself and save whatever dignity he had left. The JemHadar simply stood there waiting for orders as they didn't know what to do. Weyoun caught their surprised looks. "Contact the Founder." His voice was so high pitched he was filled with shame. It sounded so sad and weak to him.

Within ten minutes the female changeling and Odo arrived at the shrine. People were gathering outside as no Dominion personnel had ever entered the shrine before. The female changeling was curious and after hearing what happened grew disinterested. "We'll need to activate another Weyoun."

Weyoun looked to the floor his eyes piercing the spot they looked at. Odo who never really liked the Vorta couldn't help but pity him now. He had never seen anyone so vulnerable. "What will happen to Weyoun?"

"He is of no use to us now. Weyoun activate your termination implant now."

The look Weyoun held was indescribably. "Yes Founder, I obey the Founders in all things." He reached up to switch the voluntary implant but found that it was not there. "Forgive me Founder but there is no implant." He bowed his head and spread his hands out in a submissive gesture. His clothes that he held onto fell to the ground leaving him naked.

Odo was furious. "How could you ask such a thing of him? Weyoun needs our help and you simply order him to kill himself?"

"Odo he is a servant and one of the most devoted but his usefulness has ended. Another Weyoun will be activated to continue his work. That is the order of things. You simply don't understand."

"Aren't you at least bit interested in how this happened?"

"It is beneath my concern. I'll let the other Vorta research it but right now this war is my main concern. He is no longer useful in this war and he has to die."

He stood between Weyoun and the female changeling. "I will not allow you to harm him."

"If he is a true Vorta then he'll reach his death in any manner required." She motioned for the JemHadar to do the deed.

Odo blocked their path and threw them from the room. The JemHadar stood up and remained still. There was no way they were going to attack a Founder, that was not their place.

"Odo…please I don't want to cause trouble. I obey the Founders in all things."

The Vedics stood back not knowing what to do in this situation but the older Vedic interrupted. "Please if I may. The Prophets have interfered and taken away Weyoun's ability to self terminate. Perhaps for a time Weyoun could be allowed to live until the Kai has been consulted."

Odo secretly thanked the Vedic. "I agree. What harm could it do? Also if you plan on harming Weyoun for something out of his control then I honestly don't see any point in joining the link. What knowledge can you offer me after this display of cruelty?"

His words seemed to have softened the female changeling's feelings. "I'll leave him to you then Odo." After that she left the shrine with the JemHadar in tow.

Odo asked one of the Vedics to obtain some clothes for Weyoun from one of the shops. It turned out that there was no need as a few of the Bajoran people offered to give Weyoun some clothes. He dressed quickly and awkwardly as he wasn't used to his new body.

"You can live with me for the time being. I am sure that the next Weyoun will simply resume where you left off." Odo kept things impersonal but softened his voice.

"I have no words to thank you…Foun…Odo."

As they left the shrine they had to work their way through a sizable crowd that came to see and hear about the event that happened at the shrine. Everyone stared at Weyoun who looked so vulnerable. His eyes were piercing against his pale and smooth skin. Every trace of age was removed to be replaced by youth of that of a nine or ten year old Bajoran child. His hair was the same, swept back in perfect style.

It was the first time that Weyoun felt true fear and stood as close to Odo as he could. He was the only one that could protect him now. He looked up at the Bajorans and realized they were looking at him with curiosity. No one was angry with him. Strange but he couldn't indulge in that facet of curiosity as he was led to Odo's quarters.

"I'll provide you with a bed and some other furniture. All I ask is that you remain here. I am sure that everyone will want to see your transformation with their own eyes."

Weyoun had never been so filled with such conflicting emotions. "Why are you helping me? I thought you hated me."

Odo looked at Weyoun who only ever wanted to serve him and make Odo happy under the constraints he had in obeying the Founders. "Weyoun, I never hated you. You made me uncomfortable with your devotion for I'm not used to being seen as superior to another."

So much guilt seemed washed away from him but he felt sad that one of his Gods had been treated so poorly as to have so little self worth. "Thank you for all of this. But I'll be killed in the end. I'm weak now and know too much and have done so much harm to Bajor's allies."

"That's not an issue right now. We need to find out what happened to you and why. I've been on this station to know that when the wormhole aliens do something it leads to some rather dramatic results."

…..

Two days had passed and Weyoun had only seen Odo. He was grateful that he was being sheltered by a God but his mind wandered to the state of the minefield. His body may have been altered but his memory wasn't affected.

He heard the doors to Odo's quarters open and he went out to greet the man who saved his life. He was very surprised to have found Gul Dukat standing there with a huge smile on his face. "I honestly didn't believe it when I heard the news."

"Well now you confirmed what you heard so you could leave."

Dukat had no intentions of leaving so soon. "Oh come now I thought we were friends."

Weyoun stood there just as proud as he always was but held a much younger face. "You never thought that."

"Neither did you. Cardassia was always seen as a means to an end, a way to make a foothold into the Alpha quadrant." Dukat stepped up to Weyoun who didn't step back. Dukat could now understand what people were talking about. Weyoun was a truly interesting sight. His eyes were the most striking. They could almost look through you as they contrasted the rest of him so well.

"What difference does any of this mean now? I am sure my replacement is doing just as a good job as myself."

Dukat knew that Weyoun was scared of him now. "It must be so hard to feel so abandoned. After all the work and some endless nights and you are tossed aside when you need help the most. I can't imagine how that must feel."

All Weyoun could do was listen to the painful words. "Then what was all the talk about how Bajor betrayed you?"

"They were my children. One of your Gods wanted to get rid of you even after all of your sacrifices. Weyoun is there now, planning and plotting just as you did a few days ago."

It was too much for Weyoun and he couldn't hold onto his emotions any longer. Tears started to fall down his face and he had never felt so weak in his life. Dukat simply stared down at him and laughed. It was a deep cruel laugh that he knew Dukat was fully enjoying.

Weyoun stepped back now wanting to get away from Dukat. "You had your revenge. Now get out."

"Now why would I ever want to get revenge against you? You have done nothing but help Cardassia from the start. I simply came here to help you in return. I am sure you have many enemies and they would have no problems taking revenge against you." He reached out to try to take hold of Weyoun.

He was too quick for Dukat and headed straight for the door. Dukat anticipated that and blocked his way and laughed again. "Dukat this isn't wise. Odo could come back at any minute." He knew that wasn't true but hoped more than anything that it was true.

"No he won't he's with the female changeling. The last time he was with her he didn't come out of here for over three days." Dukat stepped closer once again only to be attacked with a rather sharp object.

Weyoun sliced at Dukat's leg with one of Odo's many objects and got the desired effect. As Dukat grabbed his leg in pain Weyoun ran from his quarters and into the corridor. All he could do was run as fast as he could. He could hear that Dukat was not far behind him.

He knew that the Promonade was not far from here. If he could only make it there he would be fine as someone would help him. He was almost there. Only another turn and he would make it and now he was free. He looked back and didn't see Dukat. Now eyes started to look at him and then the whispers. He wasn't sure that this was so smart.

"Look at him now. Does he still have his memory?"

"I heard they wanted him dead."

"Should we help him?"

Everyone was talking as he walked down the Promanade. He had to find Odo but ended up finding Weyoun with his usual escort of JemHadar.

"You have no place here and should kill yourself like a worthy Vorta." His features were hard with a very soft voice that cut cold and deep.

"I don't have to do any such thing. Odo spared me and I'll follow him." Weyoun began to question himself but refused to allow his replacement see that.

He gave a very real laugh one that he understood and used before. "He's all you have now then. There is no place for a child in the Dominion, weak and unworthy. But the best word I can use is Sanderrha, obsolete."

"You have just as many enemies as I and yet I'm protected by the very one that gives you only a fraction of the attention you crave." Weyoun looked up at himself and held his ground. He had to be careful as Vorta are villainous towards each other.

The taller of the two grabbed Weyoun by the ear and smiled then knelt on one knee to speak face to face. "I could rip your mind apart if I had permission to do so. Though it would be interesting to see how a mind as good as ours will do in a child's body."

"It would indeed." Weyoun understood the true meaning of Sanderrha and every Vorta feared being it, being obsolete. "Perhaps when I've grown I'll give you the opportunity. Now question is, if I am returned to my natural state what becomes of you?"

He let go of Weyoun's ear and stood. "What makes you think you'll live long enough to find out? The female Founder is only humoring Odo we both know that." The real reason he had to die was the information that was in his head. If he ever spoke a word the Dominions headway would be seriously undermined. "We'll talk another time. Why don't you go play?"

Weyoun watched as his replacement walked off. Now he had to find Weyoun and make sure that he never had contact with Weyoun again. That would be difficult as everyone was staring at him and two soldiers were approaching him.

He did what any child would do; he ran and found a place to hide. The shrine was as good a place as any and found it rather ironic as this was the place that started this whole mess for him in the first place.

The soldiers missed him and he leaned against the wall in the shrine and noticed a woman in meditation. Upon further inspection it was Major Kira. She turned around and said nothing for a moment.

He understood his appearance was a shock. No one has ever heard of or seen a Vorta child as all Vorta were clones. "Major, I'm sorry I interrupted you but I have nowhere else to go."

She was a little confused but set that aside as she walked towards him. "Odo is with the female changeling. So he'll be distracted for some time." She tried her best to keep the anger from her voice but she knew she failed miserably.

"I know and Dukat took advantage of that and found me in Odo's quarters." Weyoun looked at the floor ashamed at his weakness. He was truly defenseless.

Though Kira thought that Weyoun was getting everything that he deserved she couldn't hate him right now. He was abandoned by his Gods through an act done by hers. She knew Dukat well enough to know that he would take advantage and harm Weyoun now that he's in a very vulnerable position. "I see well then you can stay in my quarters until I find Odo. Dukat won't attempt to enter my quarters unless he wants a good fight on his hands." She felt that she should help him. It was the Prophets that altered his appearance and now he needed help.

"Thank you Major but it will only postpone the inevitable."

"That's what a lot of Cardassians said to Bajorans when we fought them."
