Chapter 8: Flight to the ford.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

It was about two days later. They had come to a halt because of Sasuke's injuries. They were near the petrified bodies of three certain Agrons. Sasuke was panting. His face was pale and he was sweating all over. Everyone was holding a torch.

Number four: He's going cold!

Naruto: Is he going to die?

David: He's passing into their world. He will soon become a wraith if we don't do something to slow the posion.

At that moment they heard a faint cry Shikamaru gritted his teeth.

Shikamaru: Their close.

Demonwing turned to Number four.

Demonwing: Number four! Do you know the athelas plant?

Number four: Athelas?

Demonwing sighed.

Demonwing: Kingsfoil?

Number four: Kingsfoil? Well thats a weed.

Demonwing: It may help to slow the posion. Hurry!

A few seconds later the two of them were running in oppisite directions searching despratly for the speacil herb. A few seconds into their hunt Demonwing found what he was looking for. It looked like a holly bush in miniture size with little white flower's instead of red berries.

He stouped pulling out a short knife and began to cut away a bit of the preacious herb when he felt cold hard steel press against his throat. And a familar voice spoke.

Tifa: What's this? A ranger caught of his guard?

Anableth: I think so.

Sasuke was fading fast he could now see the ring wraith world and the normal world at the same time. Suddenly he saw something white riding towards him. It was a young woman on a white horse. She had long black brown hair and a calm face. She dismounted and spoke in pure cleaan elvish.

Another girl in a pink and black out fit with black hair stood beside her. This was Anabelth.

Tifa: Sasuke Uchiha. I am Tifa. Hear me and return to the light.

Suddenly he felt a strange weight lift slightly. Then everything returned to normal. Tifa was actually was wearing rough brown traveling cloths. She down to look Sasuke in the face. Beside her was Demonwing chewing getting the herb ready.

Tifa: Who bad is it?

Demonwing: Morgul blade.

Anabelth: Oh Snap.

Tifa: Well you guys are lucky. We've been looking for you guys for three days now. There are five wraiths behind you. Where the other four are I do not know.

Ranger: They must have split up. They must be covering the road to the ford.

David: We have to get Sasuke across the river. Before they catch us or Sasuke passes into the wraith world completely.

Meanwhile the hobbits, Taco, Rex, Raptor, and Chibi just watched. Seeing as how the rangers and theses new comer were speaking in elvish they couldn't quite understand what they were saying.

Naruto: Who is she?

Number four: She's an elf.

Chibi: Yeah no suprise there.

Taco: Thank you captian state the obvious.

Rex: Yeah that killed it.

Hinata: I just hope we don't get killed.

Back to the important conversation.

Demonwing had applied the athelas to Sasuke's wound. He had let out a strangled gasped when he had but that was all to common now. The posion would be slowed in it's progress. For now at least. Demonwing set Sasuke on Tifa's horse.

Demonwing: I will ride onto rivendel. Then I'll send help.

Tifa: I'm the faster rider and you know it. If I can get him across the river then the power of my people will protect him.

Then she switched to the common speech and put her hand on Demonwings.

Tifa: I do not fear them.

Demonwing sighed. Then he helped her into the sadel. He looked her right in the eye's now.

Demonwing: Ride hard. And don't look back.

Tifa noodded then spoke to the horse.

Tifa: Onward Nasnacar. Onward!

Then she rode of into the forest Anabelth at her side. Behind her she heard number four shout out.

Number four: What are you doing! Those wraiths are still out there!

Tifa and Anabelth rode threw the night and on into the dawn. As they drew with in five miles of the hidden valley of rivendel she felt a strange dread growing. Tifa looked back to her left and thought she saw a flicker of a black horse.

She spurred her horse on faster as she noticed even more of the black riders! Then one tried to cut her off but she pulled her horse to a sharp left! A pine branch wiped her check making a small cut. She rode out into the open and then saw not five wraiths but all nine!

They formed a wedge formation behind her! They were gaining fast!

Anabelth Drew Sasuke's sword!

Anabelth: GO I'll hold them off!

She turned around to face the riders only to watch them all run by her. She stood there for about a minute mouth hanging open.

Anabelth: What the heck?

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Sasuke was slipping into the wraith world again. He looked back hearing their call. He could see them again pale and fell looking. Two new wraiths were there. One silver hair and a dark black cloak. (Zexion) He rode right in the back and on the left of the lord of the ring wraiths. Also there was another rider who had white hair and sinister blue eye's. (Bakura)

One of them, the leader, reached out for him. But Tifa shouted to the horse and it shot forawrd into a large wooded area! Finnaly she reached the river and rode right across it. She turned back on the further back to see the wraiths coming to a halt. One of them gave a hiss and spoke.

Dragain: Give up the halfing she elf!

Tifa drew a elven horse sword.

Tifa: If you want him you'll have to go through me!

The wraiths drew there swords in unsion. Then one by one they started to make their way across the river. As they did Tifa looked at the river and began whispering a spell. The Nazgaul drew closer! She began speaking faster and faster! As she did the river's waters began to almost drian away. Then she opened her eye's as she finished her spell.

Suddenly a massive wave of water shot out from around the corner! THe wraiths cried out in alarm and anger! Some tried to advance others tried to retreat. But it was for naught. They were swept away by the torrent! They were pushed down stream crying out curses of vengance and death. They were gone.

Ranger24: The ring wraiths are defeated! Yeah! But can Sasuke get to medical help in time? Or will he pass into the wraith relam forevermore? Find out next time!

And merry Christmas!
