Inside the tank floats a THIRD STAGE NAVIGA'.IORtwenty feet long, much like a cross between a pasty, pale hurran being and a fleshy grasshopper.

The tank is filled with swirling orange spice-gas, and Guildsrren continuously vacuum up the toxic chemical spills dripping fra:n under the tank. suddenly the Guild Navigator swims toward the Errpe=r. His head is enonrous and fleshy, like a huge grasshopper head -- the eyes are totally deep blue. His voice is a high, fleshy whispering and an intricate electrical apparatus in the front of the tank translates into English and broadcasts it into the roan.

Gurney leaps high, then forward, pressing a furious attack. Paul falls back. The shield edges CRACK loudly as they touch each other.

Paul presses forward and the fight rroves quickly aIOUrrl the rca:n.

Paul and Jessica crouch further back in the tiny passageway of safety, but a solid back wall of rock prevents them £rem rroving back any rrore. The breath fran the worm is like a hurricane of w"INO.

The Emperor is silent as the Baron is brought in to stand d=n celo;; in front of him. The Baron is fighting to .contain his fear because AABBIIN'S HEAD SITS ALL BLCCOY a; THE FI.roR in front of him. Finally the Errperor speaks.

Suddenly the Reverend Mother looks norrified and grabs'her throat.

The Reverend Mother slumps. The Baron's nouth flies open. The :Emperor's face goes pale, his lips tranble.

Re turns quickly and looks at the b..o Guild agents present 'in the roan. They stare at him icily. Alia smiles happily.

_--.-----~-- -~-- Paul smiles.

Gurney and Stilgar don't understand. Suddenly enomous dust clouds and LIQITNING sweep up over the Shield Wall.

Gurney gives a hand signal and 'IWENI'Y EXPIDSIONS of hydrogen barb intensity go off in a raw, cutting a huge gorge through the width of the ITB.ssive Shield Wall.

As the EXPLOSIONSgo off, a WIND hawls, destroying much of Arrakeen · and covering the rest with tons of sand. Sand rips at the Palace and the Errperor's ship.

Alia feigns fear and backs toward the Baron's pudgy hands.

BAR:N I have her, Majesty!

Alia turns to him-· still smiling. With a flash of her hand she reaches out and swipes at the Baron's face. He CRIES our in pain, thrusts her away and doubles over, his eyes bulging out. Alia shews him the tiny needle she holds in her hand.

You ••• Atreides .••

He collapses. His suspensors hold him floating inches off the floor. His face is turning dark grey blue and his tongue swells in his death throes. Su&le..'lly the wall behind them is carpletely blown awo.Y by a BLAST.

1".ajesty! Into the ship!

The Errperor iroves quickly a:..a.ywith the dazed Reverend Mother and the others, but he continues to stare in fear at the smiling eyes of Alia. A door is shut suddenly and Alia is alone. She pulls out her crysknife and with a blocd-curdling CRY she leaps out to join the battle.

The entire airfield is now filled with wild ..o:r:rn.s, Frerren, and dead or dying Sardaukar.

The Enperor stands in a very dark roan looking out on a vast dark sea of destruction. There is a horrible RIJMBLINGfran his broken space ship. In the half light we see a BEAIJrIFUL GIRL. She turns to the :inferor.

Paul rroves .to the group surrounding the Emp:;ror. His eyes rreet Feyd's -- Feyd gives him an evil smile.

Paul turns and looks at the Enperor, who stares back. defiantly. Paul

The Enperor's eyes flare. Jessica looks at Olani, who is confused and hurt.

Gmney, smiling sadly, rrekes a gesture to Thufir, ;,.,t,o looks very old and bewildered. His rhe\l!\'.\Yeyes peer at Paul as they = face to face. The ErrferOr seems strangely tense at this rroment. Paul notices this. He looks to one of Thufir' s trerooling hands.

He turns his back. on him, facing the bull above the rrantle.

Thufir's ·eyes growsadand wide. He looks to Jessica.

Thufir' s h;ind ri;cc.c:s, as Jessica gasps, but the old Mentat ,.:;wipes his a.-m a,.m with the nc,~-dle. Paul turns and catches h:im as he sags. Thufir m.1nages to hold the ncc-dle up to the Emp::,ror.

THUFIR (CONT'D)

d Did you think for one m::rrent that I wauld ( ' fail ITTj Duke twice?

His head lolls back and he looks up to Paul urgently.

Paul holds it to his lips which barely p::,ssess the strength to kiss it. Then his- face spreads into a weary smile.

His breath escapes h:im and he is dead.

The guards do as they are instructed.

He makes another pass at Paul that a::irres dangerously close, but again, Paul is aJw"aY,a smile frozen on his face.

Paul breaks his silence.

Feyd smiles. He lashes out, and Paul is slew, receiv.uig a small slash on his wrist. Feyd LAUGHS in triunph. Paul looks to the ~r, who smiles.

A frightened CRY escapes Chani.

Irulan looks over to Chani, an unccrnfor'-cable =iosity in her eyes. Paul jabs out., his crysknife slashing. Feyd grabs his axm, and Paul his, the two rren locked in a straining clinch. Feyd presses his right hip closer and closer to Paul's l:a'ly. Paul strains to keep it away. Suddenly, the ga:n jabbar flips out of Feyd's girdle, but on the left side, and he lunges powerfully with it at Paul, who just barely misses taking it in his skin. He throws Feyd back, but not before Feyd's feet strike out, sending Paul t.o the floor. Feyd leaps onto him.

Suddenly, Paul, with lightning swiftness, undulled by the drug, pushes Feyd up and over. He is on tq> of him in a flash.

Feyd's m::uth opens as the knife continues up through his tongue and

jerks-dead ont:he floor. Paul slo.vly·gets to his feet, breathing · heavily. .lingerstill seething in him, l?aul issues a ·sa::JND - a loud, horrible, powerful sound, and Feyd's internal organs nipture and the stone floor under him =acks open: The Fedaykin smile.
