(Just a heads up, the contents in this chapter might not be correct, as this is mostly partly by Denis' Dune: part two (obviously,) and I'm too lazy to rewatch the film.)
Edit: I've decided to watch the film because I thought the last part was a bit undercooked. It's my first time doing this, okay?

(Tessa's perspective)

After our spice hijacking, we came across Gurney Halleck, and some Atreides soldiers in Sardaukar armour. Lucky for them, me, Uzi, and the others didn't injure them badly. I stood there in the swell of the sand, enjoying the view, and feeling the sand laced with Melange hit my body. Paul is also here at the encampment, doing who-knows-what, same for Gurney, I also wonder where Uzi is...
"Boo!"
Suddenly, I feel cold hands rest on my shoulders. I yelp in surprise and quickly turn around, unsheathing my blade to protect myself. My eyes process who was infront of me, and it's Uzi. "Oh, you rapscallion!" I jokingly say to Uzi, sheathing my blade, before continuing, "you almost gave me a heart attack... and definitely almost got you killed."
"Worth it," she coos, almost like a excited toddler. I eye up and down, drinking in the details; she still wore her jumper that I found her in, with the exception of the zipper going all the way down, revealing a slight hint of her torso; she was still wearing her beanie, not even caring to cover her face with rags or mouth-pieces like the others. Nonetheless, I will not ask her anytime soon.
"Wanna sit with me, Uzi?" I ask.
"Sure, why not?" Answers Uzi, shrugging. I then sit down, my legs kicking the ground. Uzi sits down next to me, looking straight at the dawning sun. I turn my head to the sun, not talking to Uzi. We sit there for a solid minute, just enjoying the view. They were right, Arrakis does look best when the sun is setting. Suddenly, I ask out to Uzi, "Soo, I haven't told you this, but... I was apart of another house."
"Really?" Asks Uzi, quickly turning her head to me. If she were to have ears, then her ears would most definitely perk up. I crack pull my hands out of the sand, and crack my knuckles, ready to tell her. With a deep breath, I begin to explain to Uzi, "right, I was apart of this house, named House Elliot. I was the daughter and heir to the throne, but at the young age of thirteen, House Harkonnen attacked my house, killing everyone; soldiers, civilians, generals, and commanders. Even my own parents were killed, too, but they tried to take me in with them as a slave to the Baron. One thing lead to another, and I was apart of House Atreides, at the cost of another House."
My backstory left Uzi speechless, her digital eyes hollow. After a few seconds of silence, she blurts out, "God, that must have been terrible."
"Pretty much. But I pulled through, and, here I am."
"Nice. Wanna sit here for a little while, acting like this never happened?" She asks, her tone awkward. I reply, shrugging, "Sure."
We then turn our heads from each other to the sun, her feet repeatedly kicking the sand.

(The next morning...)

(Third person's perspective)

Uzi was still sleeping in the tent, lying on her back, her visor displaying the words,
"Sleep mode: active.
         Guilt: none."
Suddenly, she was woken up by being shaken by Tessa. It took her a good few seconds to gain consciousness, lifting her head off the pillow, saying to Tessa, "what do you want?"
"Look outside," replies Tessa, her tone filled with emotions - sadness, anger, and guilt. That hooked her up, as she quickly got up, grabbed her jumper lying next to her, pulling it up her arms. After she put her jumper on, she steps out of the tent. Upon stepping out, she sees that some people are standing on another swell of sand, with Tessa climbing up it. Uzi immediately runs up the swell, her legs digging into the sand. When she hits the tip of it, she can finally see what's going on - the Fremen encampment, Sietch Tabr, which is just a giant rock with holes in it, was in flames, signalling that Feyd has arrived.
My God, Uzi thought to herself, her eyes turning hollow. How the hell did they find them?!

(Meanwhile, at the rock thingy...)

The Harkonnen gunship was blasting the encampment with everything they had, giving the illusion that it's in flames, which Uzi has greatly fallen for

The Harkonnen gunship was blasting the encampment with everything they had, giving the illusion that it's in flames, which Uzi has greatly fallen for. Somewhere else, the Baron was overlooking a holographic version of the scene unfolding.
"Old-fashioned artillery. How genius," he says to himself, chuckling, before continuing, "we're literally melting rocks on their heads." Feyd walks back and forth infront of the table, knife in hand, speaking up, "I want to go on the ground. Prepare my troops." After Feyd says that, one Harkonnen commander replies, "My lord, I would advise you to stay inside, there was--" but before he can finish his sentence, Feyd quickly slices the man's throat. He gags in response, gripping his neck with both of his hands as blood behind pouring out, tumbling to the floor.
"Bring his body to my quarters. My poor darlings are hungry, there was no food for them on my flight," Feyd commands, leading to two more soldiers to grab the man's arms, dragging him away. When he's out of sight, Glossu storms in, questioning Feyd, "what are you doing here?" Feyd walks over to Rabban, intimidately, replying, "it's early morning, what are you up here?"
"Kiss my feet," Feyd demands, not taken aback by his brother. Rabban begins to walk towards Feyd, "I'm gonna eviscerate your--" before he can finish, Feyd kicks him in the stomach. Rabban let's out a grunt, and falls to his hands. Feyd places a foot infront of his face, saying to him in a low, menacing voice, "you humiliated our family. You humiliated me. Kiss, or die." Feyd places his knife on the back of his neck, making it clear that he's not afraid to kill his own brother. Rabban begins to silently cry, tears pouring onto Feyd's boot, until, he places a kiss on his boot.
"Mm, we're even now," says Feyd, removing his foot away from Rabban's face, before putting something into his mouth, making a loud chewing noise, walking away. N looks at the scene, not bothering to do anything. Feyd steps away from Rabban, causing him to get up pitifully.
"embarrass our family one more time, it will be the last," threatens the Baron, looking over at Rabban. Feyd is basically the cooler Rabban.

Down at the cave, Harkonnen soldiers got into the cave, burning every holes they see with flamethrowers. Feyd, along with N at his side, walk straight into one doorway.
"Where?" Asks Feyd, looking at the sight of the cave, N doing the same. "Spy. Left behind," explains one officer, leading for Feyd and N to look what's infront of them; light was pouring through one hole, illuminating a Fremen woman sitting on her kness, emotionless.
"No traces of the others, they've gone south to hide in the storms," continues the officer, leading to Feyd to look away from her for a moment, grabbing a knife from one soldier. He feels the blade of the knife, looking like it's made of cardboard with grey paint on it.
"Send this message to the Baron," began Feyd, looking over at the woman, "The north is liberated and secured. Harvest spice at will."
"Yes, na-baron," replies the officer, before smoothly walking away from the cave. Slowly, Feyd walked towards the woman, menacingly, the light illuminating him. After he got near to woman, Feyd blurts out, "you killed nine of my men with one blade." Still, the woman didn't react, her face still like the one when Feyd came in.
"She won't talk," explained one soldier.
"Tell her that's fine," replied Feyd, before continuing, "I already know everything I need to know." Feyd's right arm reaches out, leading to another one of the soldier giving him the flamethrower. Still, the woman doesn't react,  even when the flamethrower is aimed at her, the switch turned on, and Feyd saying to her, "Only pleasure remains," before pulling the trigger.
