As Paul's children grow, they also display some superhuman talents. The problems with their Aunt Alia increase.

The leadership of Arrakis realise that their Jihad is basically out of control, and the ecological changes they are bringing to the planet with basically bring spice production to an end.

Paul's son Leto, later on, has a plan. His aunt is controlled by her memory of Baron Harkonnen, and this must be dealt with, and he must get Stilgar onside for his plan of the 'Golden Path'.

After consulting Paul and others, Leto has enabled a sandtrout skin to cover his body, giving him superhuman strength, speed and resistance to go along with his mental abilities.

He brings things to a head with his aunt, and enables her to gain enough control to kill herself, ending the Harkonnen threat within her.

With Leto's new powers and demonstrations of such, he proclaims himself Emperor, and brings the Fremen under his control again.
