Chapter 19

BARON VLADIMIR HARKONNEN

"The shields are down," remarked Pieter, and he smirked as he raised his hand.

"Then let the attack commence," and with his command, the end of House Atreides as they knew it began as ships began to descend one by one, taking to the Arrakeen skies as the assault on the city began.

He could see the progress of the attack from the various screens displayed right infront of him, and he saw panic and turmoil spread through the Atreides rank and file as their ships destroyed laid waste to their weapons giving them little time to regroup.

"Hahahaha," he laughed as he watched his men slaughter the Atreides men, and just as the Atreides regrouped the Saradukar joined the attack and broke them.

It was mayhem and the Atreides were being pushed back, their chain of command hampered by the explosions.

And then he felt his own frigate move as they entered teh Araakeen skies as well, hence completing their mobilization.

"It is time for me to leave now, Baron," Piter added as he gave him a bow.

"I want the Duke alive. Incapacitated but alive," he reminded his bloodthirsty, Spice-addicted Mentat.

"Only then you may claim the spoils as you wish. Do not disappoint me, Piter," he chided and his Mentat smiled cruelly.

"I will not fail you, my Baron," and with that, he left, leaving him alone with his servants to enjoy the doom of the Atreides.

They were putting up a fight, or at least trying to put up a fight, yet they were outnumbered and in disarray, and the less he said about the Saradukar's cruelty, the better.

Even looking at them slaughtering unit after unit of Atreides men as if they were but mad beasts made a shiver run down his spine, yet he laughed. Laughed as he saw the of Atreides drawing near with every passing second.

"AHahahaha," and then it happened.

BOOOM!

A massive explosion rocked the city behind him, and the lights of the room went off, as he fell down on the seat with a heavy thud.

"AGHH!" he grunted in pain, his legs too weak to carry his weight because of that damned Bene Gesserit curse.

"What is going on?" he questioned in a raspy tone as he pushed himself up.

The lights began to flicker on, and he felt his suspenser orb activate once more.

"I WANT ANSWERS!" he screamed, as a soldier entered the room and knelt

"My lord, whatever that was, it eradicated our primary generators. We are running on emergency power at the moment. We will have to make an emergency landing!" and he felt a shiver run down his spine.

This was not part of the plan.

What was going on.

Was this a doing of the Atreides? Had the Emperor betrayed them.

And then he saw one of the screens infront of him light up, making him frown as he found himself staring at an all too familiar figure.

"YOU!" he snarled in rage as a million thoughts ran through his head.

"Hello there, Baron!"

"KAZAABBB!"
