~A Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Rings) / Sailor Moon crossover~
First, if you have never read/ seen the Lord of the Rings, you probably shouldn't read this. It'll a) be slightly confusing; and b) ruin the movie or book for you. You CAN read it, if you want because I've done a pretty good job of explaining in here…
Please don't flame. I'm just a weird
high school student who has nothing better to do with my life than dream
up odd situations for anime characters. The words in elvish (also from
the book) will be translated out beside the elvish word or in parenthesis
next to it.
If you haven't read the book, it's
slightly different from the movie. I am going by the movie when I write
this.
One more note, the title (Mornie Alantië) is elvish for 'darkness has fallen'. I got that from the lyrics in the soundtrack.
Prologue
Usagi stared at the paper screen doors of the temple in front of her for a moment, not yet prepared to enter the room inside. She knew who was in there. Her four closest friends were sitting at the wooden table with their study notes spread out around them to prepare for the exam at school tomorrow. Her gaze moved for an instant to the things she'd propped against the wall next to the door. Those were things that her friends didn't need to see, at least not until she'd explained.
She reached out and placed a hand on the handle of the sliding door, paused and took a deep breath, then silently slid the door open and stepped in.
None of the other four girls inside realized she'd entered until she'd closed the door behind her, making sure it banged lightly as it shut. All of them looked up and smiled in greeting, but the smiles almost instantly died off.
Usagi looked between her friends, realizing that she looked drastically different then the last time they'd seen her. Of course, that had only been a few hours before as they left school. She smiled slightly as she observed their silent bewilderment.
Minako opened her mouth to speak, then closed it. She opened it again, and this time managed to get out a few words. "Usagi…" She whispered. "Your hair…"
Rei snapped out of her shock and shook her head. "Usagi, what did you do to your hair?" She asked. She looked her best friend over, realizing that the girl's hair wasn't the only thing different about her. She was taller and more… the only word that came to mind was elegant.
Usagi sighed and looked down. "I was going to leave without letting you know." She said softly. Her voice was tinged slightly with an unidentifiably accent and was much softer than her usual tone. "But it wouldn't be right. After three years…"
"What's going on here, Usa?" Makoto asked. She pushed herself away from the table and rose to walk over to her friend. She stopped short as she realized that Usagi was actually taller than she was. She studied her friend over, taking in the differences.
Other than her height, the most startling change by far was her hair. It was much lighter for starters. And Usagi had taken it down from the customary buns and cut it until it fell to the middle of her back. The front part of it was pulled back and a few strands of it were braided. It covered her ears and trailed down her front.
The next difference they noticed was her clothing. She'd already changed out of her school uniform and now wore a dark gray cloak tied around her shoulders, the hood falling to her back. Under it she was wearing a dark colored shirt and long, loose pants. The only jewelry she wore was a silver necklace around her neck.
"I'm not exactly from around here." Usagi said quietly. "I came here a while ago, somewhat by accident, and decided to stay for a bit. But now there are problems at home, and I really must go."
Now they were all confused even more. "Home?" Ami asked. "What are you talking about?"
Usagi sighed again. "I'm from a place you've never heard of." She said. "The kind of place you'd only dream of. I came here and disguised myself to fit in. Your culture… it amazes me. It's so different here, the people and places."
"Where the hell are you from?" Rei asked. "What are you talking about?"
"I'm from a place called Rivendell, in Middle-earth." Usagi began. "I grew up in the house of Elrond, the king of the Elves."
For a moment there was silence, then Minako giggled slightly. Usagi glared at her, which silenced her very quickly. "Elves?" She asked. "Usagi, you're acting really weird."
The answer she received was Usagi reaching up and pulling her hair back, tucking it behind her ears, which were slightly pointed. She said nothing, nor did nothing else, just stood and waited for a reaction.
She got one. Ami actually lowered her book and stared at her in shock. Rei and Makoto had paled slightly, and Minako was shaking her head slowly in disbelief.
"I can explain some of this." Usagi said. "But it would take too long to tell you everything. A little over three thousand years ago in my world, there were nineteen rings of power made. Seven were given to the Dwarf Lords, nine were given to the great kings of Men, and three were given to us, the Elves. But an evil being known as Sauron created, in secret, a master ring that he would use to control all the others.
"During the time of darkness that followed, three of the rings given to the Dwarves were taken by Sauron. The other four were eaten by Dragons. The three rings granted to the Elves were hidden away and never found. But the nine rings given to men turned them to the side of evil. Now they are soulless beings known as Ringwraiths, which serve Sauron.
"The one ring, the Master Ring of Sauron, was severed from his hand in a great battle, then lost to the world for two and a half thousand years. It was found and kept for five hundred years by another creature, who then lost it. Over the years, it has traded hands until now it is owned by a young creature- a hobbit- named Frodo.
"Because the darkness is stirring again, it is now more important than ever that the ring be destroyed. The Elf King, Elrond, is calling a council to decide the fate of the ring which I must attend." She paused, knowing that there were going to be quite a few questions.
Rei rubbed her temples. "This is too unreal." She said to herself. "Elves, Dwarves, Rings with magical powers… It's just too much."
Usagi smiled. "Is it any more unreal than girls transforming into senshi to fight evil monsters?" She asked.
She received no answer. She nodded to herself, then bowed slightly to the other girls. "It's growing late." She said. "I really must go. I only came to say goodbye." She bowed again, then turned and left the room.
Outside, she grabbed the items she'd left propped against the wall and began to put them on. The first was a short sword, a little longer than a dagger but still too short to be a real sword. She strapped it around her waist under her cloak and checked to make sure it was secure in its scabbard before continuing. The other items were a quiver of arrows and an unstrung bow. She swung the quiver over her shoulder and grabbed the bow.
As she stepped into the middle of the temple's courtyard, she began to mouth words, words that had anyone been listening they wouldn't have understood.
In the language of her people,
she said, "Et Terra Endorenna utúlien." Out of Terra to Middle-earth
I am come. A soft white light began to glow around her, and then with a
flash it enveloped her. When the light died down, she was gone.
~Middle-earth; Rivendell; The Year 3019 of the Third Age~
Usagi rolled her eyes as one of the men, she recognized him as Boromir of Gondor, began to mutter to himself. She glanced back at the ring, which had just been placed on a stone table in the center of the room. Her gaze turned to Frodo, the hobbit who had been holding the ring before then. He was sitting next to the wizard Gandalf.
Boromir began to speak out loud. 'Men are so weak.' She thought as she listened to him preach about how he should have the ring and take it back to his homeland of Gondor.
Another of the men sitting across the circle from her spoke up. "You cannot control the ring." He said. "The ring will only answer to its master." His clothing said that he was a Ranger, one of the men that patrol the woods and keep it safe.
"And what is a Ranger doing at this council?" Boromir asked.
One of the elves sitting next to Usagi jumped up. "He's not just a Ranger." He said. "He's Aragorn, son of Arathorn. He's the heir of Isildur, and therefore the heir of Gondor."
Usagi's eyes widened a fraction. That man was Aragorn? He was the descendent of Isildur, the man who severed the ring from Sauron's hand all those years ago, then kept it when it should have been destroyed.
Aragorn waved his hand and told the elf to sit down. The council calmed down a bit as Elrond began to speak again. "The reason all of you are here is because one of you must carry the ring to Mordor and cast it into the heart of the Mount Doom, the only place it can be unmade."
Once again, people began to talk. One of the dwarves shouted, "I will die before I see the ring in the hands of an elf!" That comment caused every one of the elves to jump up, including Usagi, to yell at the Dwarf.
At first, nobody heard a smaller voice speak up. After a minute, everyone fell silent and looked over to where Frodo was standing. "I will take the Ring." He said. "Though I do not know the way."

"So you shall be the Fellowship of the Ring." Elrond said. He looked to where the nine companions were standing. There had been a slight problem from the dwarves. They insisted that they should have two representatives in the Fellowship because there were two elves. Frodo's hobbit friends had all insisted on coming, but they'd decided that the hobbit Pippin was too young. So they'd selected another elf to take his place.
So know there was Gimli, the dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas, Usagi, Gandalf, Merry, Sam, and Frodo. Usagi was the second elf. She'd volunteered to go after they'd decided that Pippin couldn't.
All nine split up to go get
prepared. They'd decided to leave the following morning at sunrise, leaving
very little time to get ready to go.

I did read the first (and part of the second) book, so I know more details that were left out of the movie. I did quite a bit of research to find all the junk I used in here, so it's all (more or less) accurate. All of the Elvish is really Elvish, not stuff I made up.

I would also appreciate if all complaints/
flames would be emailed to me instead of being left in a review. Thanks!
