Drones of Dune - A Murder Drones X Dune crossover

Tessa Elliot's journal no. 1

Journal entry no. 21, year 10,191 -

I knew this day would come. House Harkonnen bombarded Sietch Tabr at dawn, killing and injuring countless innocent Fremen. Luckily, I, along with Uzi along with the others, weren't at Sietch Tabr. Will head down south later today, to meet up with other Fremen, who believe in the Lisan-Al-Gaib. Anyways, for a bit of context, I woke up near Uzi the minute before the Harkonnens shelled Sietch Tabr. I get out of the tent, feeling the light breeze of sand and Melange hit every inch of my body - skin, hair, nipples, and my crotch. I immediately cover myself with the Stillsuit I was issued with. I didn't like the fact that my original outerwear was replaced by a Fremen Stillsuit, but I didn't complain, and I never will. I reach down to my helmet, grabbing it. I pull it up towards me, putting the back part of it. I reach down again to get the front part of my helmet; a black-tinted glass, barely showing my face. With a click, I let go of it, leaving it in place on my head. It's always pretty hard to breath in this domed helmet, as I bend down to get the breathing backpack of my suit like if I'm bending down to reach for the soap I dropped back in the shower-room at Arrakeen. I prefer not to talk about it. I slide the backpack up my arms, stopping at the shoulders. I reach for the apparatus of the backpack, grabbing it like one of those small sandworms and reaching towards the hole at the back of my helmet. Then, with shift to the right, it sticks in place, gently pushing air into my helmet. I take a sharp intake of air, relieved that I didn't kill myself this time. I hear something in the distance, most likely from the location of the Sietch Tabr, so I walk up the swell of the sand, the others following me. After I get up at the tip, I couldn't believe what I saw - faint light in the distance. It's clear they got to the Sietch Tabr. I immediately head down to the tent Uzi is sleeping in, my movement rushed. I unzip the zipper, and get inside. I began to shake Uzi relentlessly with my hands on her arms. It took her a good few seconds to wake up from her slumber, blurting: "What do you want?" I reply, my tone of anger, sadness, and maybe something else. I don't know. "Look outside." After I finish, I wait for Uzi to dress up. I look on at her body like if I'm attracted to it - her body was of a woman's body, except missing some key points - first is the skin, which is replaced by some milky-white metal, some parts covered in oil. The other is the reproductive parts, which she has none of it. It looked like she fought in the Butlerian Jihad.
We get out of the tent as soon as Uzi began wearing her jumper, heading back up the swell of the sand. Upon seeing the sight, her digital eyes became hollow (it wasn't easy, as her visor was cracked by an unknown force.)
We Met up with the Fremen residents, and will head down south. I, along with the remaining Atreides soldiers we got back at the hijacking, will command one of the sandworms. I, myself, have no idea how to ride a sandworm, same for the Atreides soldiers. One Fremen soldier came up to me, and said something in the Fremen language. I don't know a single word of the Fremen language. Luckily, one Atreides soldier was fluent in the Fremen language. I might use him as a translator.
"So, what did he say?" I ask, placing a hand on my hip. The Atreides soldiers immediately replied:
"He said if he may ride the sandworm."
"Tell him he can go for it," I reply, sternly. The soldier turn to the Fremen, and says something in the Fremen language. I don't really care.

Later -

I'm now at the place. I'm not alone in here, as there are dozens of Fremen in here. After I last wrote in this journal, the sandworm was heading towards my location. The Thumper never fails to get one. I, along with the other soldiers, got on the sandworm, the sandrider controlling it. It took us a few hours to head south, but I enjoyed the scenery of the desert of Arrakis. We got dropped off at this sort of temple thing, with couple more Sandworms heading our way. We took our seats in the temple, and I saw something that I wish I didn't see:
Paul, the Duke's son, and potentially Maud'Dib, drank the Water Of Life. I've heard that it's lethal for men. The hell was he thinking?!
I decided not to react. Few hours went by, and the new Reverned Mother, Lady Jessica, the Duke's concubine, was here. I had some small talk with the Atreides soldiers, debating whether or not he killed himself.
Suddenly, I heard some running coming from the entrance. I looked over to see Chani Kynes, daughter of Liet Kynes, and niece of Stilgar, the Southern Fremen.
Chani's face paled, hurriedly walking into the room, blurting, "Paul? Paul."
I, along with the others, cleared the room for her to continue on her journey. Chani rushed over to Paul's body, whispering, "I'm here, I'm here. Hey."
She touched the boy's face for a second, processing what happened to him.
"What happened?!" Asked Chani, her voice rising to a near-shriek. The other didn't say anything. Chani looked infront of her to see the similar group of men in Stillsuits, and rags over their heads. "What happened?" Repeated Chani. Can't you see that Paul just drank the Water Of Life, and is potentially dead?
Nonetheless, I turn my head to the entrance to see Lady Jessica and Stilgar walk into the room. I think Mr. Halleck was even in the crowd.
She put her ear to Paul's mouth, trying to hear any sign of life in him. Upon hearing none, she said, "he's dead."
"His vital signs are so low, they can't be detected," explained Jessica, walking towards Chani and Paul's body, continuing her sentence, "But he's alive." Chani turned her head to Jessica, hissing to her, "What did you do to him?"
Jessica stood there, not replying to Chani.
"No, not that, why would he do that?" Asked Chani, running her hands over the boy's face.
"Why would you do that?" Asked Chani. No reply from him.
Stilgar said something in Fremen to Chani. I turned my head to the soldier to ask what he said, and he answered, whispering to me, "He said because he is the one, the Lisan-Al-Gaib should find his way to where no man has ever been."
With a sudden burst, Chani exclaimed to Stilgar, leading to the soldier to translate it to me, "you're insane."
"Chani, his body is fighting the poison, and he needs your help," demanded Jessica. But that didn't sit well with Chani, replying, "You do it. You did this to him. You did this to your own son. You do it. Fix it yourself." Jessica replied to Chani, saying, "Chani, you might not believe in the prophecy, but you're apart of it, you're the poison."
"You and your lies. Why would you do this?"
"Do it," commanded Jessica.
Suddenly, Chani kissed Paul. On the lips. She might have committed necrophilia.
Chani pulled away from Paul, her eyes fixed intently on him. I, along with the others, stood up, and saw that Stilgar was looking at the scene with his wide open. Stilgar mutter something in Fremen, leading for the soldier to whisper the translation into my ear, "He shall come back from the dead with spring desert tears."
Chani demanded something in Fremen, with the soldier replying the translation, "Bring me a drop of Water Of Life."
Stilgar said something in Fremen, but I denied the translation, because, knowing him, it was "As written."
"Desert spring tears," repeated Jessica.
The person with a drop of the Water Of Life walked through a corridor and into the room, bending down behind Chani with it in his hands. Chani runs a hand through her face, her eyes closed, before turning her head to the man with the Water Of Life. She places one of her finger tips in the liquid, before pulling away from it. She then places her finger tip firmly on Paul's lips.
A few seconds went by, no sign of life.
Suddenly, Paul woke up, as if nothing had happened, his eyes changed into blue-within-blue eyes, like the Fremen. Chani pulls away from him slightly, with Stilgar dropping to his knees. Chani seemed to be overjoyed, as she pulled her face closer to him and ran her left hand through his hair. I, along with the others, bent down, knowing that he's the Muad'Dib. I still have some doubt in my mind.
"Usul, I'm here, I'm here," muttered Chani to Paul, before hugging him, which he's still on the floor. The others bend down, except for Gurney.
"Are okay?" Asked Chani.
"Yes," replied Paul, before getting up on his feet, as if he hadn't drank the Water Of Life.
"Are you sure?" Asked Chani, not convinced that the boy's okay.
"Thanks to you," replied Paul.
Chani stood there for a few seconds, processing his reply, before full-on slapping him across the face. She then began to walk away from Paul and the others, filled with emotions. Nonetheless, Paul stood up straight, looking over his shoulder. He turned his body around slowly, looking at Jessica.
I shall end my journal entry here.
