Ghede: Guerrier Extraordinaire #4: Pages 7-8

Page 7, 5 Panels- Boom Room, Avain's Dhom Panel 1: Action shot a short time later of Avain finally pressing himself back up to his feet. He is slowly getting back to normal mental function. His eyes glance up slightly at the sound of loud booms coming from outside as he gathers the remaining three Ice Chips in the palms of both of his hands. Panel 2: Cut to another action a split second showing the captain running over to the now unseen door. The weapons that we've seen the past couple of pages fly past in one big blur in the background. Panel 3: We move a brief time later to the second half of our relatively heroic duo as he reaches the opened doorway. The beam of sunlight shines inside, hitting Avain in the top half of his body as he moves. Also, the same explosions that we heard in the first panel and throughout the page to this point increase slightly in volume at this point. Panel 4-5: A split second later, we see from the outside looking in Avain properly stepping out of the room with the aforementioned Ice Chips in hand. You can see him move his head from side to side, looking for his friend the Haitian guerrier. In Panel 5, just a couple of beats later, Avain turns his head up and to the right with an incredulous look on his face upon hearing someone calling down from the sky. GHEDE [Off-Panel, translated from French]: What?! Page 8, 6 Panels- Avain's Dhom, In-Between Panel 1-2: A single setting that stretches over two panels, showing the Haitian guerrier standing on top of the defeated Oiseau du feu who has landed on the mainland. Its massive head and beak, with eyes closed shut, can be seen at the dead center point of the two panels (right panel edge of Panel 1). Ghede, meanwhile, is proudly grinning a full-toothed grin holding her Molltach as she looks down toward Avain. GHEDE [shrugs, translated from French]: ...I got bored! Panel 3: Action shot of our titular heroine flying off the creature and back to the Dhom. You can see partially, due to the shaping of the layout, Avain looking toward her with the same incredulous look we saw at the end of the last page. GHEDE [Cont., to Avain]: Come on, Avi, don't look so miffed... Panel 4: We move the action a few moments later to the side of the Dhom just as Ghede lands alongside her friend whose anger appears to have grown over time. The smile fades to a simple baseline. She slips her beautiful sword back into its holster as she speaks. GHEDE [pointing to the Ice Chips with her opposite hand]: The ICs should do nicely the next time a piece of the D shows... Panel 5: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. The lone difference is that Avain has turned his back to her and started walking off toward the steering wheel, throwing up the 3 Ice Chips in disgust as he does. The occurrence suddenly has tampered down Ghede's attitude, which up until now has been light and casual. Her hand is just beginning to drop down to her side. GHEDE [Cont., puzzled]: ...up! Panel 6: Cut to a shot framed from Ghede's POV a second later. It's here that we see the good captain continuing to put a great distance between himself and the Haitian guerrier. You can see the sea and the tropical forest setting deep in the background, along with the hill that is still a distance away. Also, to the right side of the view, you can also see the aforementioned tiny grenades contained within a powerful sphere along the left side of the panel view.
