"Are you guys ready?" James asked. Everyone nodded, drawing their weapons.
"All right, let's go," James ordered. The plan was to help all the campers escape and then blow the base up. So, Connor, Jennie, and Travis had to sneak into the orc base. While they are doing that, Andy, James, and Grace have to get all the orcs and monsters out of the base and distract them. Then, everyone runs away and the base explodes from Greek fire. So, Travis, Jennie, and Connor started towards the enemy base. James grabbed his bow and an arrow. He fitted it on the bowstring a he released. It shot an orc in the head. Then, the monsters and orcs hissed at the three friends.
"Get ready," James said, fitting another arrow onto his bowstring. The enemy drew their weapons and charged. James released and the arrow shot a dracaena in the chest. The monster disintegrated with a wail. Then, James dropped his bow and unsheathed his dragon dagger. He rubbed the dragon and out came a short blade. He stabbed and slashed at the monsters. Many were killed but another wave of monsters poured out the exit of the emporium and charged. But before the monsters could reach James and his friends, a volley of arrows shot the front row of monsters. James looked behind him and saw a small group of elves. And the person leading them was Legolas.
"Draw swords!" Legolas ordered. "And charge!" The elves charged, killing many of the orcs and monsters. Then, another wave of Uruk-hai and monsters appeared. But it was a lot larger than the first. The elves picked up their bows and fitted arrows onto their bowstrings. They released the arrows, killing a row of enemies. Then, all of a sudden, monsters and orcs were being killed from behind. James saw a large group of people. But they were not just regular people; it was the campers of Camp Half–Blood. The monsters started to retreat, and the campers let them pass. Travis came up to James and said, "The enemy base is ready to explode." James nodded. Then, he took out a device that looked like a remote control. He pressed the red button and BOOM! the base exploded. The impact of the explosion made all the campers and elves to fall down. Then, everyone got back to their feet and cheered. All the imprisoned campers were very happy to be released. After cheering for a long time, James said, "We must go back to camp. The remaining campers are in danger. Let's go." So, everyone started to march to camp.
After marching for a few hours, everyone stopped and rest. The elves set up the camp and started a campfire. Legolas took out a bag of marshmallows and handed it to James.
"Where did you get these?" James asked.
"It is the first time I stole something," the elf replied with a smile. James nodded and chuckled. Then, Legolas also gave James a large supply of sticks and handed it to James. James handed one to everyone and the campers had roasted marshmallows for their victory feast. While James was eating a marshmallow, someone hugged James. And the person who hugged him was Katie.
"Katie, I missed you so much," James said, kissing her on the lips.
"I knew you would come for me," she said with a smile. Katie kissed him back and rested her head on James's shoulder. Katie yawned, "I'm tired."
"You need rest. Here, I'll take you to your tent," James said. He picked her up and brought Katie to a random tent. James placed her on a bed and kissed her forehead.
"Good night, Katie," James whispered. "I love you."
"I love you, too," Katie replied with a smile. Then, she fell asleep. James climbed out of the tent and went back to the campfire. Many of the campers went to a tent and fell asleep but the remaining ones were listening to the elves's stories. Legolas was telling the one about the Battle of Helms Deep. Everyone was staring in awe.
"I was in that battle," James said after the story.
"Sure you were James. You would be chopped into pieces," a camper said.
"James was in the battle and he survived," Legolas replied. "That was why he was living in Middle–Earth for so long. James nodded, "That's right."
"Well, my last story is The Battle at Minas Tirith. It was the greatest battle of all times," Legolas said. Then, he started explaining what had happened. Legolas told how Aragorn persuaded the ghosts to help and how he killed an elephant all by himself and many other events.
"And I was in that one, too," James said when Legolas finished. This time the campers believed James.
"Did you kill an elephant?" a camper asked.
"No, I'm too weak to do that," I answered.
"I probably could've done it," a camper joked. Everyone laughed.
"Well everyone, it's getting late. Go to your tents and rest," Legolas ordered. "Tomorrow we will arrive at Camp Half–Blood. Everyone yawned and walked away to their tents. But James went to Legolas instead.
"Thank you for helping us before," James said.
"I will always be there when you need me, James," Legolas said with a smile. "Now get some rest." James nodded and went to an empty tent. But before he got there, a girl appeared in front of James.
"Annabeth?" James asked.
"Hi James," Annabeth answered. "Thanks for saving us."
"No problem," James replied. Then, Annabeth kissed James on the cheek.
"Good night," Annabeth said, walking away. James blushed, "Uh… good night." Then, James entered his tent and hopped onto his bed. James was exhausted. So, he fell asleep quickly.
