Disclaimer: I don't own and of Tolkien's characters (I wish) and do not claim anything of his to be mine. I also do not own anything having to do with any of the actors, Peter Jackson or New Line Cinema. I am not making any money from this; it is purely for enjoyment reasons.

So I'm totally redoing this story. It was my very first fanfiction ever. I started it a long time ago and I haven't worked on it since then LOL. I'm going through and editing the story (cuz it needs it!) and I'm going to finally finish it. I hope ya'll enjoy it! This is purely for my enjoyment...so no flames please. I take constructive criticism.

Aragorn swung his sword to meet the downward slash of the Uruk-hai's blade, stopping it from cleaving into his head. He quickly parried another blow before plunging his sword into the beast's belly. As the body fell to the ground he turned, looking for Legolas through the battle. Looking through the battle haze, he spotted Legolas across the clearing.

He watched as the fighting got too close to his friend, forcing him to stow his bow and pull out his twin knives. Aragorn's acute hearing warned him of danger behind him. Turning he thrust his sword into the belly of an Uruk-hai. Ducking under another blade he stepped back to get his balance and stumbled, as his leg suddenly gave out, dropping him hard to the ground. As he hit the ground, he rolled hearing the hiss of an Uruk's blade, as it whipped by his head and hit the ground.

Scrambling to his feet he parried another blow as they circled each other, trying to find an opening. Both landed blows and Aragorn cried out as the Uruk's blade slid from his own and raked down his sword arm. He struggled to hold onto his sword as his grip weakened and blood dripped from the wound making his grip slippery. He pressed on slaying one after another parrying, twisting, and turning to keep up with the beasts that just kept coming.

Finding himself pressed back by two huge Uruk-hai, he desperately tried to move around as he fought. He thought madly of a way for them to escape. Looking around him all he could see were trees. The Trees! They could escape into the trees. Their horses were long gone and it could be their only chance. Both he and Legolas were excellent climbers, Legolas being an elf and natural light on his feet, and him having taught Aragorn how to move like an elf in the trees.

"Legolas! Legolas! Into the trees! It's the only way!" Aragorn shouted. Finally seeing an opening, he lunged forward, sprinting toward his friend who was fighting with the remaining Uruk's as they closed in on him.

Legolas, seeing him sprint forward yelled out in alarm. "Aragorn, behind you!" His face twisted in anguish sure he was going to witness his friends death. Aragorn immediately ducked, but the Uruk blade caught him in the side and slid between his ribs.

"Aragorn!" the anguished shout reverberated through the trees.

Aragorn gritted his teeth against the pain as the blade slid free from his ribs. Reaching down he pulled the dagger from his boot and turning thrust it into the throat of the Uruk. Pulling it back out he turned to see a huge Uruk-hai coming up behind Legolas, its blade raised over its head to come down in a crushing blow that would kill the prince.

"Legolas! No!" Aragorn threw himself toward his friend, knocking him to the side out of the way as the blade came down, lights exploding behind Aragorn's eyes as he landed on his knees staring at Legolas in shock before he sank into deep, black, oblivion.
