(Dutch: De Honden van Marduk) (part 4)
Art by Don Lawrence; script by Martin Lodewijk
An aircraft carrying the newly evolved hound and a group of the Theocrat's soldiers lands in a field outside of town. They carry with them a device to locate the Anomaly aka Storm.
Meanwhile, Storm and friends are meeting with the rebel leader. He wants to know why Storm as the Anomaly is so important to Marduk. Storm reluctantly explains Marduk's theory as to how his travel through time and space has filled his body with some sort of energy. Storm demonstrates:
But that's enough to make him show up on the Hound's device. The Theocrat's men track Storm to an abandon temple.
The rebel leader tries to sell Storm on letting the rebellion harness his power. Storm isn't buying it. The rebels detect the incoming Theocrat troops. The temple is full of ancient traps. They kill some of the troops, but the Hound figures out how to avoid them and a contingent makes it through. I firefight breaks out, and the rebel leader attempts to get Storm and friends away.
The Hound, again thinking quickly, uses a prismatic Tear of Pandarve to reflect the energy beam from the booby trap against the rebel forces.
He leads the Theocrat's men forward, but they are stymied by another trap.
Meanwhile, Storm and friends have had about enough of being pushed around by the rebels:
Unaware what's going on in the other room. The rebel leader surrenders to the Hound and his troops who have just made in through. He promises to give them the anomaly in return for his life.

That rebel leader has no spine and no sense, Marduk's goon are obviously going to kill him once he has given over the info.
Also, that last panel pictured is a really confusing fight scene. Not well drawn at all.
@seaofstarsrpg Can't say you're wrong. If you'd see the frame before the fight, you'd see the rebels have guns and pistols. So where did those weapons go during the fight? Did they disappear into nothingness?
And hey, a rebel leader without spine and sense... is it coincidence that he looks like Fidel Castro?
