Sands

I don't own Dune, but I wish I could, and yadyadyada
Victor Hali ran to his ornithopter as the alarm sounded. Victor was a ornithopter pilot for House Atreides in this great War of Assasins.
He was 22 years old, had spiked blue hair and blazing green eyes. He was tall for his age, about 6 feet, and weighed 157 lbs. Now, as he powered up the engines along with 9 other ornithopters, he asked himself, Is this the end of my life? Not only was there the danger of battle, but all the sandworms in the vicinity would respond to the thrumming of ornithopter engines if the orni's were to be shot down onto sand.
Already Harkonnen pigs could be seen on the horizon, and turrets were powering up. He lifted his ornithopter slowly, it leaning forward ever so slightly,and then he took off with 9 other ornithopters, breaking the speed of sound. As he flew into battle, he was very cautious not to turn on his shield, because it would be suicide, considering that the Harkonnen pigs used lasguns.
He started dropping his bomb payload on the Harkonnen base. It was engulfed in blazing white flames(Yes, white, you heard me right).Buildings crumpled like small pieces of paper,then erupting into blazing white flames. Already, 2 of his comrades had been shot down by Harkonnen batteries, and both ornithopters lay in the sand, blazing bright red, awaiting for a worm.
After Victor managed to drop off all of his payload, he began to open fire with his machine gun. It wasn't much, but he destroyed a few tanks Harkonnen,and was moving on to Harkonnen Ornithopters. He saw a group of Devastators lurching towards him. He fired on them. One was destroyed by machine gun fire, 2 others from the Devastators explosion. Then he saw the ornithopter of his best friend, Cyril Xel, take a full on laser blast. It recoiled, then exploded into millions of tiny shards.
Victor gasped .His best childhood friend, destroyed, never even knowing what was happening to him, just engulfed in flames. Victor gritted his teeth. Silently he took an oath that he would avenge his best friend.
.....BAM......
He felt something rock the back of his Ornithopter, then he began falling. He started a transmission to his remaining comrades, who were still fighting off the Hark forces with their small machine guns.
"I am going down, repeat, going down! I shall activate the shields and make a kamikaze attack! Be wary of worms. I repeat, BE WARY OF WORMS!" And with that he ended his transmission.
With the remaining power of his 'thopter, he managed to set it on a kamikaze course for a force of Harkonnen Devastators and Assault Tanks. Oh no,he wasn't going to kill himself, nah. Before he ejected, he was able to activate the shield generator, which attached to the small ornithopter like a leech and went down with it towards the group of vulnerable Devastators and Assault Tanks on the soft- but deadly-sand. He smiled a grim smile of satisfaction as he ejected out towards an rock out-cropping.
