Lithoniel: Hi this is going to be the best chapter yet, plus there's going to be a bit of love! Enjoy the chapter, but remember the more reviews the faster I update!

We notched the arrows to our bows (I had been given one for the battle) and waited for Aragorn's signal. Aragorn yelled and we loosed our shafts into the approaching mass of Uruks. Adrenaline was pumping through my body, I was actually enjoying this. I shot off shaft after shaft into the oncoming army with lightning speed, but not as fast as Nostariel and Legolas. They fired their bows almost in sync! All of a sudden the Uruks started using ladders. We all drew our swords, flashing in the lightning. An Uruk popped up right in front of me and I quickly decapitated it with a single swipe. I placed my foot on the ladder and heaved as hard as I could. The ladder tumble down, squishing some Uruks below.

"Take that you ugly beast!" I laughed triumphantly, but soon stopped as more Uruks leaped over the battlements. I whirled around, my blade flashing in a blur of silver as I unleashed my fury on the Uruks. I neatly sliced ones throat then spun and dodged a sword thrust, running an Uruk through as I did so. I looked at Nostariel and yelled.

"I've got ten all ready!"

"I'm on 19!" she replied and I quickly shouted back.

"What! No way am I losing to you!" I laughed as I quickly killed another two Uruks. I heard Legolas saying he had 19 and I laughed, this was so much better then watching the movies!

Galadwen's POV

"What is taking them so long?" I whispered to Merry who shrugged. Finally Treebeard walked over.

"Well?" I said eagerly.

"I have told your names to the entmoot and we have decided you are not orcs!" he said smiling.

"And what about Saruman, have you come to a decision about him?" Merry said angrily.

"Now, now don't be hasty?" Treebeard rumbled.

"Our friends are out there! They need our help! They cannot fight this war on there own!" I cried.

"War, yes… It affects us all. But you must understand, young elf. It takes a loong time to say anything in ooold… Entish and we never say anything… unless it is worth taking a looong… time to say." Was the reply. I rolled my eyes and sat down under a tree. 'If Ashley ever makes us watch Lord of the Rings again I'll kill her!' I thought.

Nostariel's POV

I was busy fighting the Uruks when I realized the explosion was going to happen soon and Legolas was right in front of the danger zone! I noticed a rope hanging near by and I swung across the gap between us. I landed right beside Legolas who looked shocked then relieved. I quickly led him away from that part of the wall when I saw the Uruk with a sparkling torch running past the others. I quickly warned Legolas who knew it was too late to kill him. He quickly looped his arm around my waist and we both leapt on to a nearby ladder, riding it down to the ground where we landed. Then to my horror the wall behind us exploded and I remembered that Aragorn and Lithoniel had been next to the wall!

My POV

I turned around to see Legolas and Nostariel jump onto a ladder and off the wall when I realized why they had done so. My eyes went wide with horror as I saw the Uruk throw himself onto the bombs. 'Oh CRAP!' I thought, and then the wall exploded throwing me and Aragorn of the wall and to the ground knocking us out cold.

Nostariel's POV

"Lithoniel!" I yelled in alarm as she and Aragorn went flying from the force of the explosion. Uruks streamed through the gap in the wall. We tried to fight our way to them, but then we heard a shout and looked up to see Gimli jump from the wall into the mass of Uruks, he fought bravely, but he was soon over taken. I saw that Lithoniel and Aragorn had gotten up and were now leading a charge against the Uruks. They met with a thunderous clash and I saw Ashley kicking major Uruk ass!

"Come on she's going to win at this rate!" I urgently said to Legolas smiling. He smiled back and we both jumped on two nearby shields, riding them like a snowboards down the steps, rapidly firing arrow after arrow, each one finding its mark. As we landed on the last step we jumped off sending the shields straight into the chest of an Uruk. I gave Legolas a quick hug that made him blush and we threw ourselves at the Uruks.

My POV

I slowly came to in time to see Gimli leap onto the Uruks.

"Gimli!" I cried rushing forward only to be stopped by Aragorn as they fired a volley of arrows at the monsters. I held up my horn and sounded the charge! I charged forward and killed the first 5 Uruks in my path. I turned to see Nostariel and Legolas riding on the shields and I laughed, but it was short lived.

Galadwen's POV

I was shaken awake by the hobbits as Treebeard walked over to us again.

"The Ents cannot hold back this storm. We must weather such things as we have always done." He said.

"How can that be your decision?" I yelled angrily.

"This is not our war!" he slowly replied.

"But you're part of this world! Aren't you?" Merry yelled looking at all the Ents, "Please you must help!"

"You are young and brave Master Merry, but your part in this tale is over. Go back to your home."

I looked at him in disbelief. What was I supposed to do now! 'Well I could go to the Shire and have a few ales.' I smirked at the thought, but then shook my head. No I had to help or I would never get home and out of this crazy adventure! I turned to see Merry storming away and I sighed. This was going to be a long few days.

My POV

Aragorn had given the orders to fall back to the keep I nodded and fought my way to him. We turned to see Haldir get stabbed by an Uruk.

"Haldir!" I screamed. We ran over to him just as he collapsed and went limp. I bowed my head and muttered goodbye in elvish before Aragorn and I ran to defend the keep, killing as we went. My eyes burned with unshed tears, but I was too angry to cry. My body felt like it was on fire and my sword was glowing in a brilliant light. I gave a fierce roar and practically threw myself at the Uruks in my path. When we finally made it to the gate I saw that Gimli was there fighting through the gap in the gates. Legolas and Nostariel were above shooting arrows at the Uruks below. I ran up to the King who was leaning against the wall.

"Brace the gates!" he ordered.

"How long do you need?" I asked him.

"As long as you can give me."

I motioned for Aragorn and Gimli to come with me and we snuck out a secret door onto a ledge next to the causeway swarming with Uruks.

"Ohhh come on we can take 'em!" Gimli said.

"It's a long way." Aragorn said.

"Toss me." Gimli muttered.

"What?"

"Toss me I cannot jump the distance you'll have to toss me."

Aragorn nodded and Gimli moved in front of him then paused.

"Don't tell the elf!" he pleaded.

"Not a word." I grinned as Aragorn tossed him and we leaped across. We scattered the Uruks right and left, laughing with the joy of battle.

Nostariel's POV

I looked down to see Lithoniel, Aragorn and Gimli battling the Uruks on the causeway and I saw that they would soon be overrun.

"Legolas!" I yelled and pointed to the others. We threw a rope down and started pulling them upwards just as the Uruks charged. I heaved as hard as I could and once they were over I glared at Lithoniel in mock anger.

"What took you so long?" I said and she grinned. Below the King was shouting.

"Retreat! Into the Keep!"

We quickly ran inside firing arrows as we went.

Galadwen's POV

Treebeard was carrying us through the forest. I looked at the hobbits who looked very miserable.

"I will leave you at the western boarders of the forest. You can make your way North to your homeland from there." He said. Pippin suddenly perked up with a gleam in his eyes.

"Stop, turn around, turn around, take us South!"

"South? But that will take you past Isengaurd!" Treebeard rumbled.

"Yes exactly, if we go South we can slip past Saruman unnoticed! The closer we are to anger the farther we are from harm! It's the last thing he'll expect!"

I looked at Pippin with that I-did-not-understand-a-word-you-just-said look.

"That doesn't make sense to me, but you are very small, perhaps you're right. South it is then. Hold on, I always like to go South, somehow it feels like going down hill." Treebeard rumbled as he turned around.

"Are you mad we'll be caught!" I hissed.

"No we won't, not this time!" he assured me, but somehow I wasn't convinced. A few hours later we arrived at the edge of the forest to see that much of it had been destroyed. I gasped and felt instantly sorry for Treebeard.

"Many of these trees were my friends! Creatures I had known from nut and acorn! They had voices of there own!" Treebeard said sadly.

"I'm sorry Treebeard." Merry said.

"Saruman, a wizard should know better!" he answered his voice turning hard and he gave a strange cry.

"There is no curse in elvish, entish or the tongues of men for this treachery!"

All of a sudden a rumble echoed in the forest behind us and I turned to see and saw dozens of Ents marching out of the forests and I gasped.

"Come my friends, the Ents are going to war!"

"Yes!" I said happy to see some action.

My POV

We stacked tables to the door making a barricade, but I knew it wouldn't hold for long. Just then the King spoke.

"The fortress is taken! It is over."

"You said this fortress would never fall while your men defended it! They still defend it! They have dies defending it!" I said angrily.

"Bar the door!" a soldier said.

"Is there no other way for the women and children to get out of the caves?" Aragorn asked. No one answered.

"Is there no other way?"

"There is one passage, it leads into the mountains, but they will not get far, the Uruk-Hai are too many!" Gamling answered.

"Send word for the women and children to head for the mountain pass and barricade the entrance!" I said.

"So much death! What can men do against such reckless hate?" Théoden despaired.

"Ride out with me!" Aragorn said, "ride out and meet them!"

The King's eyes lit up as courage flooded in them.

"For death and glory!" he said.

"For Rohan!" Nostariel yelled.

"The sun is rising!" Gimli sighed. Then I remembered Gandalf's promise.

"Yes, yes the horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the Deep one last time!" the King said.

"Yes!" Gimli said and ran up to the horn.

"Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, for ruin and a red dawn!" the King said as we mounted our horses. I was on Freyda, Aragorn on Brego and Legolas and Nostariel on Arod.

"FORTH EROLINGAS!" we yelled and charged out the doors! We ploughed into the Uruks hacking and slashing, dealing as much death and destruction as we could. In the middle of the battle I looked up to see Gandalf on Shadowfax on the crest of the hill.

"Gandalf!" I cried. Then I saw Éomer ride up beside him and I laughed with joy causing everyone to turn.

"Éomer!" the King breathed.

"To the King!" Éomer yelled and he and the Rohirrim army charged down the slope. Just before they met the Uruks spears the sun rose over the hill, blinding them causing them to lift their spears and the army plowed into them. I reared on Freyda as I met Éomer in battle.

"Perfect timing!" I said with relief and he smiled. All around us the Uruks were being destroyed. We chased into a forest that had appeared out of no where.

"Keep away from the trees!" I warned, "stay away from the trees!"

Once inside the forest the trees started moving and screams echoed all around and I smiled grimly.

Galadwen's POV

I through a rock at a nearby orc, whacking him squarely in the jaw and I yelled my victory.

"A hit! A fine hit!" Treebeard said, squishing another orc. All around the Ents were destroying the orcs and the machinery of Isengaurd. I hit another orc and looked up to see a massive flood heading our way!

"Hold on!" Treebeard boomed. They wave hit with a massive force, but the Ents stayed firmly in place. I watched as the orcs were swept into the pits and huge spouts of steam shot up every time they found a fire. We had won the battle of Isengaurd!

Nostariel's POV

Lithoniel and I found Gimli sitting on an Uruk corpse and then Legolas joined us.

"Final count," he said stroking his bow, "42!"

"42!" Gimli said, "Well that's not bad for a pointy eared elvish prince-ling. I myself am sitting pretty on 43!"

"That's nothing!" I said, "Lithoniel and I got 44 a piece!"

I laughed at the looks they gave us. Gimli looked annoyed and surprised and Legolas looked half way between proud and disbelief. He then laughed and walked beside me and put an arm around my waist. The next thing I did I couldn't explain. I laid my head on his shoulder and looked up at him. Then he gently leaned down and softly kissed me. Oh my God this is amazing!' I thought. I felt like I was on a cloud and he was so gentle! When we broke apart I noticed that Lithoniel was clapping and up on the battlements Aragorn and the King were laughing and clapping and all around us the soldiers smiled. He pulled me into a hug and then we walked off together leaving behind a very shocked, but happy Lithoniel. Then I remembered that we were going to celebrate our victory soon. I looked at Legolas and smiled. I couldn't wait!

Lithoniel: So Alecia what do you think?
