With Claudette's body being taken over by Sauron's spirit, he turns against both armies and summons his Orc Army to eliminate his opposition. With such unexpected turn of events, the two leaders find themselves overwhelmed with no way out. Realizing that they are losing the battle, Nathan and Annelotte decided to continue fighting before they themselves were taken out as their army does the same. The Queen's Army, on the other hand, is slowly being massacred by the orcs as they try to fight back.
"It looks like you were telling the truth when you told me that something is wrong with onee-sama. Sorry for not believing you onee-chan." Elina felt regret.
"That is fine Elina, but right now we have to try to free her from Sauron's control." Leina said as she fights off some of the Uruk-hai.
"If you want to help the family, then help me fend some of these orcs away." Leina requested.
"Of course onee-chan." With the two sisters finally on the same side, the rest of the Queen's Army decide to ally themselves with the Rebel Army to fight to the death.
Knowing that Sauron is approaching them, Nathan and Annelotte turns their attention to the evil spirit. Annelotte unlocks her demonic powers and fights Sauron, only to be easily overwhelmed and knocked back.
"Don't just go charging on your own like that! I can already tell that this spirit is stronger than the both of us." Nathan warned.
"Sorry. We need to take out that ring somehow."
"That is what I am still trying to figure out, but with us still being surrounded by his army, it will take longer to come up with something." Nathan explained.
"I will make sure you die before I allow such thing to happen." Sauron, who overheard Nathan, charges at them.
"FIRE!" A shout was heard as a fire arrow suddenly appears and lands between Sauron and the Rebel Army's two leaders.
"That voice. I recognize who this belongs to." Legolas said.
"Is he on our side?" Alleyne asked.
"It appeared that Aragorn followed me to this world. The arrow that was shot was made by the elves of Middle-Earth, my home world."
"Legolas!" Aragorn shows up behind the battle wall.
"Didn't expect you to follow me my friend." Legolas commented.
"I knew that something like this would happen so I gathered as many as I can to follow."
Gimli shows up next. "How about we have another orc slaying contest to see who is the best?"
"You never change, do you Gimli?" Legolas gave off a slight smirk.
"Everyone, come here!" Aragorn's army did as they were told.
Showing up in thousands, Sauron became surprised. "I should have known that Aragorn would find a way here. Everyone, destroy them."
The orcs began charging at the allied forces, but with the odds evened out, Nathan took out a grenade from his jacket.
"Everyone, cover your eyes!" Nathan ordered as he threw the grenade.
Once the grenade exploded, flashes of light began coming out, blinding the orcs and allowing his forces to catch them off-guard. Eventually, the rest did the same as the tide of the battle turns. Sauron then knocks away a few members of both the Queen's Army and Rebel Army before making his way to Aragorn, but Nathan ambushed him.
"Like I will let you take complete control." Nathan takes out his blade and aims at Sauron, but was easily blocked.
"You are definitely someone that shouldn't be underestimated, but like the rest of men, you shall fall."
Sauron and Nathan begin having a swordfight as the rest of the army fights off the orcs. Despite valiant effort, Nathan is slowly overwhelmed as his blade was knocked out of his hand and now only relies on hand-to-hand combat. Despite the handicap, he was able to land a few good blows to Sauron thanks to his martial arts background. Heavily outmatched, Nathan finds himself knocked to the ground as Sauron retrieves his blade, which was knocked away earlier during their battle. Just before Sauron is able to execute him, Annelotte intervenes in her demonic form, pushing Sauron back.
"You are just as interesting as he is. Too bad that you are still man." Sauron turns his attention to Annelotte, saving Nathan's life as he struggles to get up.
"All this training and still I am easily defeated. What will it take to defeat this guy?" Nathan becomes frustrated until Nanael shows up next to him.
"It's not you that is weak Nathan. Sauron's power matches up with the Chief Angel so none of us will be able to match him. We have to get the ring off of him somehow." Nanael explained.
"Hey! If you can still move, we could use some help here!" Aragorn yelled at Nathan.
Nathan's lover, Airi, shows up to check on his condition. "Are you sure you are okay to keep fighting?"
"I can still move freely. Annelotte is taking care of Sauron right now, but to make sure that we at least have a chance of beating him, we must beat his army first."
"It looks like Legolas and our new allies are way ahead of you." Airi took a look at Gimli and Legolas.
"Legolas, how many have you got?" Gimli asks as he swings his axe towards another orc.
"I have already killed 32 before you arrived so I would say 47." Legolas smiled after seeing Gimli's surprised face.
"I will make sure to beat you before this war is over." Gimli said frustrated as he continues slaying more orcs.
Alleyne sighs at the sight of the contest. "Are you guys always like this in a fight?"
"This isn't just limited to battles. Whenever he has an opportunity, Gimli would challenge me to compete in various games, including drinking. Don't worry, this is actually a good sign between both of our races."
Alleyne becomes confused at Legolas' last statement. "How is competition good for both you and Gimli?"
"You see, in Middle-Earth, the dwarfs and elves are often in conflict with each other than when we have to fend off the orcs. Me and Gimli did not get along well when we first met, but that all changed when we are forced to work together in times like this. Since then, both races have been more cooperative towards one another and are willing to work together to defend peace."
"That still doesn't explain the competitions you always hold."
"It was one of the first things we did together in order to get along. It has become a habit for Gimli to challenge me. I did feel that it helped us overcome our differences and it also kept us going whenever we are at battle. Some may question our ways, but whatever works." Legolas explained.
"I see." Alleyne still doesn't understand how competition can lead to cooperation.
Back in the castle, the Rebel Army attempts to make their way inside the castle to rescue the POWs trapped by the Queen, only to be pushed back by the orcs. Luckily for them, the orcs were given a surprise attack by Aldra, who switched sides after Annelotte saved her from the demons that tried to eat her..
"Everyone here okay?" Aldra asked one of the soldiers.
"Yes, but do you know where the prisoners are? That is the reason why we came inside the castle."
"Come to think of it, I saw a couple of people stuck in a moat filled with jelly-like material in the Queen's thrown. The rest of the prisoners have been rescued when I went down to the dungeon. How is the situation outside so far?"
"It's been tough, but new allies suddenly show up to battle so I think the war is turning back to our favor."
"What about Annelotte?"
"Last time I saw, she was fighting against Sauron after he took over the Queen's body. It doesn't look good for her so you better help."
"Understood." Aldra left the thrown after guiding the soldiers.
"Look, it's the Rebel Army! Hey, we are over here!" Tarnyang yelled at them.
"You don't have to yell, we already saw you." One of the soldiers said.
"What is going on right now?" Sainyang asked.
"The battle recently turned to our favor. New allies suddenly show up, but at the same time, we found out that the true mastermind of this war was not the Queen, but an evil spirit manipulating her."
"How do we expel the evil spirit?" Luna Luna asked.
"The ring the spirit is wearing on the Queen's body is what is causing Sauron to take over. Sauron is the spirit responsible and according to our captain, we must take the ring to free the Queen."
"Then let's get out there and help them." Tarnyang got up and immediately heads outside with Sainyang.
"I hope brother is okay." Luna Luna also rushes to battle.
"Watch yourselves, the enemy is no longer the Queen's Army, but the orc army. Only fight the orcs as Sauron wants us to kill each other." The other soldier warned.
"Got it!" All of them replied before heading out.
Meanwhile, Yuit and Vante are also holding their own outside against the orcs.
"It is like there are endless amount of these ugly creatures that keep on coming. When is this going to end?" Yuit complains as Vante continues firing to protect her.
Annelotte finds herself out of breath after a long fight with Sauron, barely lasting longer than Nathan, even in her demonic form. She then desperately tries to figure out a way to remove the ring without killing the Quuen, knowing that Sauron was responsible for the tyranny committed in the Continent.
An elf soldiers spots Sauron and carefully aims his arrow at him. As soon as Sauron lifts his sword, the arrow was shot. The arrow hits his hand, forcing Sauron to release his weapon.
"Aargh! You filthy elf!" Sauron grunts in pain as he removes the arrow from his hand.
Seeing his chance, Nathan ambushes Sauron from behind and reaches for the ring. The orcs saw his attempt, but were blocked by Aragorn and Legolas.
"Just like old times?" Legolas asked.
"Pretty much." Aragorn replied.
Sauron struggles, but Nathan refuses to let go. After Annelotte catches her breath, she also jumps on Sauron in her own attempt to grab the ring, seeing that he has no weapons.
"Brother!" Luna Luna yelled as she reaches outside.
"Don't just stand there, help me grab the ring. We have to free Claudette."
Luna Luna, Tarnyang, and Sainyang head towards Annelotte and Nathan just as Sauron overpowers them, but was restrained before he could shake them off. With five people restraining him, Nathan grabs Sauron's injured and forcefully pulls the ring out of his finger, causing the evil spirit to be slowly expelled from Claudette's body.
"Nathan, throw the ring!" Legolas yelled as soon as he saw the ring was out.
Nathan did as he was told and tossed it up in the air. Seeing this as an opportunity to destroy it, Nanael unleashes some of her energy and finally destroys the ring. After the orcs witness the event, they attempted to retreat to the woods, but were ambushed by another group of elves. Knowing that letting the orcs retreat would lead to another disaster; the elves had no choice, but to massacre them. With the orcs finally gone from the Continent, the war was declared over.
"What happened?" Claudette gets up, but doesn't seem to remember much about what happened.
"Onee-sama, are you awake? Do you remember anything?" Elina anxiously asked.
"Leina? Elina? What happened? Where did you two get these wounds? Why is part of the castle destroyed? Was there a war?" Claudette continues to ask questions about her reign, which had actually been controlled by Sauron.
"It's okay. Whatever happened here is over. There was a war, but that's done. You are still the Queen of this continent." Nathan told Claudette.
"Nathan? When did you return and who are these people?" Claudette took a look at Aragorn's forces.
"We'll explain everything once we clean up a little. Come on, let's go fix what is broken." Leina and Elina took Claudette back inside the castle.
Elina turns around to see Nathan looking at this event and smiles out of gratitude.
"Thanks, for everything." Elina said before she turns back to the castle.
Legolas and Aragorn then had a brief discussion with each other about returning back to Middle-Earth.
"The war is finally over. Looks like we both can finally go home now."
"I will go home eventually, but not at this moment."
"Hey Legolas! I killed over 64. How much did you get?" Gimli interrupted as he passed by.
"73 Gimli. Looks like I won this battle." Legolas smiled.
"Don't think just because you won this battle you've won the whole thing. There will be more challenges once we get home."
"I will be looking forward to this once I return, but not now. I already promised someone to help revive her tribe and I intend on doing that at home, but there are things to take care of first. The orcs committed genocide on her tribe and it pains me to see her alone."
"As long as you are coming home, I will be okay with that. Just remember that the portal won't last forever with Sauron dead so I expect your return."
"Don't worry Aragorn. I will come home eventually."
Alleyne becomes worried after hearing Legolas' decision to return home some day. Feeling that Legolas had no intention to spend time with her, she began to run away. Witnessing this, Legolas rushes to Alleyne and hugs her from behind, causing her to struggle.
"Why are you still after me? You know when you go home you won't be able to see me again." Alleyne begins to cry.
"Alleyne, I still have a promise to fulfill, but I can't do it without you."
"But what is going to happen after that? I overheard you and Aragorn saying that the portal won't last forever. After seeing how much you wanted to help me, I realize how much I wanted to stay with you, but that cannot happen right?"
"It's true that I cannot leave Middle-Earth, but I was hoping to bring you and Nowa there and help start your tribe there."
Hearing this, Alleyne becomes surprised. "Are you asking me to leave my home?"
"It is pretty lonely to live in a place without anyone else. You told me yourself that you are the last elf of your tribe right? Don't you think it is better for you to start all over?"
"There are a lot of things I am going to miss here, but I will probably feel more regret if you and I were not together."
"Then let us stay together. As for our other friends, I can promise that we will all see each other again. I don't know when or how, but there will always be a way."
"I hope that this will happen." Alleyne touches Legolas' hands.
"This is the first time I felt this way. I thank you for that Legolas."
"I will also be troubled if you weren't there. Let us stay like this for a little while longer."
"Yes." Alleyne replied.
A few months later, just as Nathan promised, he brought most of his friends to London to show them the unique environment of his world. As always, they take interest in the most common items such as TVs and airplanes when they saw one flying up in the sky. Annelotte even considered staying in London, but declines as she remembers that her kingdom needs to be restored.
Nathan then holds a party in his mansion and has everyone dressed elegantly to celebrate. When his father asked him what they are celebrating for, he told him that is more of a gathering of his most trusted friends.
"So you think you are satisfied with how you are living your life so far?" His father asked.
"All but one. It is also the most important." Nathan turns and looks at Airi, who seems to be enjoying herself with the rest of the girls and Rana, who came with her with his family.
Once night hits, everyone was asleep in numerous guest rooms. Airi, however, is staring at the night sky still in her party dress on the balcony. Nathan comes to her side and also watches the night sky.
"How is the sky here compared to the Continent?"
"Looks the same, but I feel more at peace." Airi smiled.
"I still remember how you and I met. Things have never been the same since then and now you are here living with me. It's obvious, but I prefer this over my old life where people tried to rob me because of my wealth."
"Glad to know that I helped change for the better. You helped changed my life as well. I can never imagine living a life without you."
"Neither can I." Nathan bends down to one leg as he reaches for a small box in his pocket.
"Nathan, what are you doing?"
"There was something I wanted to do for quite some time now, but being back in the Continent prevented from doing so. Now might be a good time."
"What do you mean?"
Nathan takes out a small black box. "Like I said, I also want to live my life with you, but I feel that we can do better than just living together. I want both of us to experience new things and go to places we never thought we could go to. If we run into trouble, I want us to overcome it together. I love you."
Nathan opens the box, revealing a golden ring with a large piece of diamond. "Will you marry me?"
Airi's face soon turn as red as a tomato, not knowing how to respond to his proposal. After a few minutes, she briefly stares at the ring and smiles.
"Nathan, I love you too. My answer is a yes. I look forward to spending my life with you."
Nathan becomes very excited and picks Airi up out of joy. After both of them calm down, they share a deep kiss as the night goes on.
On the day of the wedding, the ceremony was attended by all of the party guests with Nanael and Elina looking on with jealousy, but remains happy for them. Nathan and Airi's pastor asks both of them if they promise that they will always take care of each other out of happiness and love.
"I do." Airi replied.
"I do." Nathan also replied.
"Then I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Bells were heard as Nathan and Airi share their kiss and then turn their attention to the cheering crowd. Airi tosses her bouquet, which lands on her best friend Nanael, who became happy receiving them. The ceremony then turns into a party with Nathan and Airi taking their wedding photo.
In Middle-Earth, Legolas kept his promise and formed a new tribe for Alleyne and Nowa in his homeland. However, being new to Middle-Earth, they set out to explore their new home to get accustomed, knowing that the Continent can no longer be visited. Despite this, they remain optimistic that they can see the rest of their friends eventually.
Alleyne and Legolas are then seen watching over their forest while holding hands with each other.
"Legolas, how long do you think this peace can last?"
"As long as it can." Legolas responded and kissed Alleyne on her forehead.
As for Claudette, she begins focusing on recovery efforts on kingdoms she never intended to destroy and begins changing her economic policies to avoid corruption and mutiny that caused the Rebel Army to form. With the Queen's Blade tournament now made legal again, she prepares with her two other sisters to defend her title.
What all three worlds have in common is hope that they will see each other again, which Nanael is currently working on back in Heaven.
It is finally finished. Sorry that it is not as descriptive or developed as "The Love of the Wraith", but I am really desperate to work on newer fanfics. I had fun, but at the same time, disappointed of the relationship between Legolas and Alleyne, because it didn't feel developed enough. I am retiring from Queen's Blade fanfics, but don't give up hope. If you have an idea, write it on your own and feel free to use my story if you wish, such as if you are making a sequel or prequel. Thank you to all who supported this.
