Lightning and rolling thunder. Heavy rain was falling down.

Somebody could be heard screaming. A scream of joy.

"Finally! Finally! Power will be mine! I will rule! Ruuuule!

Then the lightning storm stopped as suddenly as it had started...
The first time, the lightning was clearly associated with the probable third party role; it probably is here, too. Is Kukri being killed a good thing (for him)? Or is the third party not Kukri (Kagemusha, perhaps; or the slaves do not show up as human)?
