Chapter 73.
Hey everyone. Back with another chapter.
This chapter will continue the plot as it thickens.
Now the Laketown part of the story will happen the exact same way as canon, so I won't be doing that. Instead I will be doing my own separate arc.
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed or favirouted this fic so far.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters and elements you see in this fic. I only own Jason Stark and any other OC's and worlds you see in this fic.
On with the show.
Aragorn II Elessar: Thank you for the review. Glad you loved the shout out. I changed it to Superman and Thor. I agree on Game of Thrones, the ending was literally the worst I have ever seen, only surpassed by 'How I Met Your Mother'. Enjoy the chapter.
No One's POV.
In the Misty Mountains, a large man walked up a steep slope.
Snow-Arrow, the fusion of Jason Stark and Jon Snow coughed as he continued on his way.
He had been traveling across the Misty Mountains for the past twenty three hours now, and even with his combined and doubled stamina, he knew he would unfuse.
He looked around him, seeing how far he was from Erebor.
Snow-Arrow decided to simply make a leap for it and reach Erebor fast.
He jumped extremely high into the air and sailed over ten kilometers.
He crashed into the ground, scaring dozens of rabbits, birds and deer, who promptly scattered.
He looked around, and seeing a large mountain in the distance, which to normal eyes would only look like a small dot, he raced towards it.
Thanks to the fusion, Snow-Arrow could run for a very long time, without tiring.
As he ran though, a breach opened up and Snow-Arrow was incapable of stopping in time.
He plundered through the breach, landing hard on the other side.
"What the hell?" he groaned.
Looking around, Snow-Arrow imeadelty noticed he was in a large metropolitan city.
There was smoke everywhere and lots of screams.
Snow-Arrow realized that there was trouble about, especially when he heard fists beating like thunder.
Rushing over in the direction of the sounds, he saw a man in a Batman suit, fighting against giant black monsters.
Recognizing the monsters as the enemy, Snow-Arrow cracked his neck and rushed, imeadelty punching one into a nearby car, shattering it.
He ducked under another hit and uppercutted the creature into the sky.
"I don't know who you are but thanks for the assistance!" Batman said, grabbing another creature and throwing it into a wall, breaking the wall down, and dazing the monster.
Snow-Arrow head-butted one so hard, its head was knocked off.
"That should be all" he stated, looking around.
"Thanks for the assistance. Who are you though?" the man asked.
"Snow-Arrow." he replied.
Batman nodded.
Snow-Arrow hesitated.
He shook his head in disbelief.
This was a long day for him.
Middle-Earth, the High Felts of Hudham, same time.
After many long days, Gandalf, Wilson and Spider-Man had been traveling.
At last, they reached there destination, which was in a high mountain.
Many stone steps had been built into the rock, but after so long, many had broken.
Spider-Man was the most agile of them all, effortlessly hopping from rock to rock.
"What is this place?" Wilson asked.
"The High Felts of Hudham. The place where ancient evils are buried" Gandalf replied grimly, entering a passageway.
But it was slippery, so Gandalf stumbled and nearly fell into a deep chasm, but Spider-Man caught him, hauling him back up.
There were large human sized holes with gates that had all been broken violently somehow.
Gandalf entered one and lit his staff.
Wilson and Spider-Man followed behind closely.
There was a tomb at the edge of the entrance, and bats came flying out, which made Wilson utter a string of curse words.
All three turned around to see Radahgast the Brown standing there.
He took off his hat and allowed several small birds to settle on his head, putting his hat back on.
"Oh it's you" Gandalf said in realization.
"Gandalf, this is not a nice place to meet" Radahgast said fearfully.
"No it's not" Wilson agreed.
The four exited the tomb, looking around.
"These are dark spells Gandalf. Old and full of hate. Who's buried here?" Radahgast asked, looking at the tomb they just exited.
"If he had a name, it's long since been lost. He is known only as a servant of evil" Gandalf replied.
The four of them then exited the tombs, reaching the surrounding countryside.
"Why now Gandalf? It is not possible. A human sorcerer could not have summoned such evil" Radahgast said.
"Who said it was human?" Gandalf asked rhetorically.
Wilson and Spider-Man both turned to face Gandalf with puzzled looks on there faces while Radahgast looked terrified.
"The Nine only answer to one master. We've been blind my friends, and in our blindness, the Enemy has returned" Gandalf continued.
Spider-Man's eyes widened upon hearing that, knowing exactly who the Enemy was, but Wilson looked confused.
"Who is the Enemy?" he asked.
"Sauron the Deceiver. A dark lord who sought to conquer Middle-Earth over two thousand years ago. The Nine Ring-Wraiths were his servants" Spider-Man replied.
"Peter is right. Azog the Defiler is not ordinary hunter. He is a commander, a commander of legions. The Enemy is preparing for war" Gandalf said grimly.
Everyone looked completely mortified at hearing that.
Gandalf walked to the edge of the cliff side.
"Where are you going?" Radahgast asked.
"I started this quest. I cannot forsake them now. The Company of Thorin Oakenshield was never meant to reach the mountain. Azog was ordered to kill him" Gandalf replied.
"If what you're saying is true Gandalf; we are all in grave danger" Radahgast said.
Gandalf hesitated while Spider-Man and Wilson exchanged concerned looks.
Earth-38, Gotham City, some time later.
"So explain this to me again please" Bruce Wayne asked as Snow-Arrow sighed.
Bruce had been a little hesitant, but upon mention of Earth-2018, Bruce had imeadelty decided to help him as he knew of that Earth.
And normally it wasn't him to bring strangers into the Batcave, much less unmask himself, but when Snow-Arrow had mentioned Earth-2018, he knew what to expect.
He had ended up on that world once and met someone named Eddard Stark, so he wasn't surprised.
"I'm from another universe and I'm a fusion of two people" Snow-Arrow replied.
"And you came from a world called Middle-Earth?" Bruce asked.
"Yes" Snow-Arrow said in exasperation.
Bruce nodded, absorbing this explanation.
"And I need to get back, before it's too late" Snow-Arrow said, getting up.
Suddenly, Snow-Arrow gripped his head in pain.
Bruce stared at him with concern etched into his face, as Snow-Arrow fell to his knees.
Golden light flooded the room as he began unfusing.
The light was so bright; Bruce had to cover his eyes.
When the light receded, Jason Stark and Jon Snow were both lying on the ground, both unconscious.
Bruce looked briefly stunned but quickly shook himself out of it, carrying them both to his room.
A few hours later, Jason woke up first.
"What the hell?" he groaned, gripping his head, as he had a major headache going on.
Looking around, he remembered what happened when he was Snow-Arrow.
Staggering from where he lay, he turned to see Jon still asleep.
Walking downstairs, he saw Bruce standing at a table.
"Hey" Jason greeted.
Bruce looked up in surprise.
"You're awake" he commented.
"Yeah" Jason replied.
"How long have I been out for?" Jason asked.
"A few hours" Bruce replied.
"I need to get back to Middle-Earth somehow. How far to National City" he continued.
"Whoa dude! We don't even know if Superman can help" Bruce replied.
"I have to try" was all Jason managed to say.
A portal appeared underneath his feet, and Jason gave an annoyed sigh.
"Not again Fate" he groaned, falling into it.
Bruce looked completely mortified as the portal closed.
"I need to fix this" he muttered to himself.
Jason fell through another breach in reality and slammed into the ground hard.
"Ow! Mother of hell!" Jason groaned.
Staggering to his feet, he looked around.
He saw large peaked mountain ranges surrounding the area.
"Jason? Is that you?" he heard a voice ask.
Looking around, he saw several people approach.
He instantly recognized two of them as Sansa Stark and Tyrion Lanister.
He was still a little hesitant due to Sansa looking exactly like Jean Grey from Earth-143.
The third was a girl, much younger than Sansa, who had a kind of innocence about her.
"I'm Arya Stark!" the girl said with a smile.
She had that kind of young, innocent aura about her.
"What are you guys doing here?" Jason asked.
"We're here to help Richard and the Dwarves. You disappeared though" Tyrion replied.
Jason nodded, deep in thought.
"All right, do you guys know where Erebor is though?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, we're right here" Sansa said, pointing up ahead.
Jason swung around to see a large stone peak, and sucked in a breath.
"Richard is there?" Jason asked.
"Yes. And Danerys Stormborn" Sansa added.
Jason faltered at that.
Then a massive earthquake shook the ground.
"Is that an earthquake?" Arya asked.
"That my friend was a dragon" Tyrion said grimly.
Jason paled at that.
"We gotta help them!" he said urgently.
The four took off in the direction of the sound, climbing over steep rocks.
Reaching large stone steps carved into the mountain, the four began climbing, Jason helping Tyrion and Sansa helping Arya.
Reaching a large cliff side, they ended up encountering Dick, Danerys, Bruce, Donna, Steve and all of the Dwarves minus Oin, Kili, Fili and Bofur.
"What are you doing here?" Dick demanded upon seeing Sansa and Arya.
"We came to help you Richard" Sansa protested.
"Dick, I can take care of them. They will be safe with me" Jason assured him.
Dick looked hesitant and that was when another rumble was heard.
"We must help Bilbo" Bruce declared, brandishing a Batarang.
"We must, if we want to retrieve the Arkenstone" Balin added.
Jason, Sansa, Arya, Tyrion, Dick and all the others entered the mountain, where they heard pounding footsteps.
Sansa gripped Jason's hand tightly, causing him to give her a strange look.
They walked down only to see Bilbo standing, petrified at seeing a massive dragon.
"Smaug" Jason whispered in dread.
"You will burn!" Smaug spoke in perfect English.
"Why does he sound like Dr Stephen Strange?" Jason wondered as the dragon approached.
Smaug breathed fire, causing everyone to jump away and roll down a vast mound of gold.
Smaug looked skywards and unleashed fire everywhere.
The heat singed Thorin's cloak, causing him to throw it off.
"We keep moving" he ordered.
Dol Goldur, the Hill of Sorcery. Same time.
Gandalf, Spider-Man, Wilson and Radahgast arrived at Dol Goldur.
The sky was dark, and there was very little light in the area.
"Dol Goldur. The Hill of Sorcery" Gandalf spoke.
Even Wilson seemed a little nervous; due to the unnatural dread emanating from the fortress.
"It looks completely abandoned" Spider-Man said, eyeing it out.
"As it was meant to be. A spell of concealment has been placed. The Enemy is not ready to show his full strength yet" Gandalf replied.
He then turned to face Radahgast.
"Send word to Lady Galadriel. Under no circumstances do you come after me" Gandalf commanded.
Radahgast looked like he was going to protest, but stopped halfway.
"All right Gandalf. Be careful in there" he warned.
Gandalf gave a curt nod and walked across the massive bridge, Wilson and Spider-Man in close pursuit.
Gandalf drew Glamdring while Wilson armed himself with his sword.
Spider-Man had no weapon, but he clenched his fists, ready for a fight.
Gandalf began chanting as all looked around.
Gandalf then slammed his staff onto the ground, generating a massive shockwave of white light that spread outwards in all directions.
Nothing happened, although Wilson got the feeling that they were being watched.
Gandalf continued chanting as Spider-Man's senses began going haywire.
As Gandalf slammed his staff again, Azog leapt out of the light and smacked Gandalf with his mace, sending him to the ground.
As Wilson went to fight, a gunshot rang out and he turned to see Slade standing there.
"Rematch?" Slade asked.
"Hell yeah!" Wilson replied, cracking his neck.
Spider-Man went to assist him, but the ground beneath his feet, crumbled, causing him to fall.
As Spider-Man groaned and got to his feet, a boot cracked against his jaw, sending him crashing into a wall.
Spider-Man looked up to see Evil-Bat standing there, smirking.
"Where is your master? Where is he?" Gandalf demanded, using his staff to keep Azog at bay.
"He is everywhere. We are legion" Azog replied in Black Speech.
Gandalf looked down to see hundreds of Orcs, Wargs, Cyclops's and Wendigos milling about.
Gandalf generated a blinding flash of light and was gone, appearing a few yards away.
"Run him down!" Azog roared as several Warg Riders and Wendigos pursued Gandalf.
Wilson leapt back to avoid a strike from Slade.
He struck Slade's legs in a spin motion, sending him to the ground.
As Wilson leapt to kill, Slade rolled away at the last second, and grabbed Wilson by the throat, slamming him to the ground.
Spider-Man blocked a punch from Evil-Bat and tried to hit, but was blocked.
Spider-Man jumped high to avoid a punch and landing behind Evil-Bat; kicked him in a spin motion, sending him to the ground.
Wilson backed to avoid another strike from Slade and parried another.
"Why do you choose to aid such insolent fools? Together we can rule entire worlds together!" Slade sneered.
"I help them because I have honor. And like our doppelganger on Earth-1, I know how to truly be strong" Wilson countered.
Slade growled and rushed, sending a barrage of cuts in Wilson's direction.
Wilson rolled to avoid another strike and kicked Slade's face in a rotary motion.
Spider-Man flipped to avoid a punch from Evil-Bat and rolling behind him, kicked him.
Evil-Bat blocked another strike and elbowed Spider-Man in the head, sending him down.
Spider-Man rolled at the last second, but Evil-Bat pulled him into a headbutt, staggering him.
As Spider-Man recovered himself, Evil-Bat swept his legs, sending him to the ground.
Spider-Man kicked Evil-Bat off and got to his feet.
As he did though, he felt something unseen pushing him down.
Turning, his eyes widened as he recognized Loki from Earth-8096 aiming his staff at him.
Loki created a telekinetic blast that sent Spider-Man sprawling to the ground.
As Spider-Man lay there groaning, someone else walked up to him.
Spider-Man's eyes widened as he saw the being was a skeleton, covered in armour.
The being eyed Spider-Man out for a few seconds.
He then drew his sword and flipping it around so that the pommel was facing the front, knocked Spider-Man out.
The duel between Wilson and Slade had reached a stalemate at this point, both combatants evenly matched.
Slade tried to strike, but Wilson blocked it in a spin motion.
Wilson ducked under another attack and punched Slade in the face.
Brandishing his gun, he aimed but Slade chopped it in half with his sword, while Wilson backed away in time to avoid.
Slade flipped and kicked Wilson, staggering him a little.
Gandalf was still running as several Wargs and Wendigos pursued him.
He struck a stone column with his staff, the column crumbling and killing the Wargs and Wendigos behind him.
As he ran to a stone edge, darkness blotted out what little light remained.
Gandalf summoned a massive shield to protect himself.
"There is no light Wizard, which can defeat the darkness" the Necromancer spoke as it clawed at Gandalf's shield.
Gandalf strained as he increased the shield's power.
But the Necromancer continued its relentless assault, and Gandalf's shield shrunk.
Eventually the shield was shattered and Gandalf's staff broke in half.
As he stared in disbelief, the Necromancer pinned Gandalf against a wall, and held him there.
Bright fire appeared as a figure stepped out of the blackness.
"Sauron!" Gandalf managed to call out as the being approached.
Wilson sensed the disturbance and that was all Slade needed to punch him in the face, whipping it to the other side.
Wilson fell to the ground and rolled away as Slade roared and charged.
Wilson parried another strike and kicked out Slade's legs from underneath him, sending him down as well.
Wilson cut downwards but Slade moved away and kicked Wilson in the face, staggering him.
Slade jumped and tried to stab Wilson in the throat, but Wilson raised his sword in time to block.
The two grappled for some time, both trying to gain the upper hand.
Eventually, Slade grabbed Wilson and slammed his face onto his knee, dazing Wilson as he fell down.
As Wilson coughed up some blood, Slade peeled off his Deathstroke helmet.
"Its sleepy time Mr Wilson. The master will decide what to so with you" Slade said to him.
He then kicked Wilson in the head, knocking him out.
Gandalf was thrown into a cage, with Spider-Man and Wilson in separate cages, the two of them still knocked out.
Gandalf was badly weakened and as he looked down, his eyes widened in horror at seeing hundreds of Orcs, Goblins, Wargs, Warg Riders, Attack Trolls, Minitours, Cyclopes and Wendigos marching out of Dol Goldur.
There were several other creatures as well; A Nian, Pulgasari and Chimera as well.
Thousands of armed and armoured skeletons marched out as well; they were the armies of the Night King who had allied with Sauron.
They were marching for only one purpose; for war.
Erebor, same time.
The Company of Thorin Oakenshield as well as there new allies were journeying through Erebor, trying to avoid Smaug.
They stopped at seeing a massive bridge in the middle of open territory.
"We go across" Thorin ordered.
"It's too obvious, he'll see us coming" Donna countered.
"We have no other way" Thorin replied.
Everyone carefully walked across the bridge.
And then a coin dropped in front of Sansa.
She looked confused and that was when she looked up.
Everyone turned to see Smaug crawling above them.
Thorin motioned for everyone to follow him.
Reaching a large doorway, he turned to face everyone.
"Lead him to the forges" he said to them.
"Thorin, we'll never make it" Balin protested as everyone exchanged looks.
"Some of us might. Lead him to the forges" Thorin added.
Jason, Sansa, Balin, Bilbo, Bruce and Thorin traveled one way.
Then Smaug appeared behind them.
"What are you doing?" Jason demanded.
"Go with Balin!" Thorin ordered.
They ran deeper into the mountain.
"This way, quickly!" Balin ordered.
Reaching a large forge, Jason looked around in awe.
"The plan's not going to work. These furnaces are stone cold" Bruce said grimly.
"He's right. With no fire hot enough to set them ablaze" Jason added.
"We wait for Thorin. Until then, Jason, Sansa, I need you two to go the Gallery of the Kings. It's that way" Balin said, pointing towards a large pathway.
"What for?" Jason asked.
"I will give the signal. You will see chains hanging down. On my signal, I need you to break them" Balin instructed.
"Got it" Jason nodded.
He and Sansa ran in the direction of the Gallery.
"These must be the chains" Jason noted, looking at a pair of massive chains hanging from a stone statue of a Dwarf.
"I hear the dragon" Sansa whispered, looking back in the direction they came in.
"Sansa I need you to stay here. It's not safe out there. I will come back here soon" Jason gently to her.
She looked hesitant, but nodded after a few minutes.
Jason smiled and then took off in the direction of the blazing fires.
"Jason, I need you to pull that lever at the top" Thorin instructed.
Jason nodded and using his metahuman agility, jumped to the top where Bilbo was waiting.
"NOW!" Thorin roared as Smaug charged him.
Jason jumped and pulled the lever down.
Gallons of water poured down and covered the dragon, causing the fire in his belly to go out.
The furnaces tilted and molten gold poured down.
Thorin took a wheelbarrow and jumped down into a stream of gold.
"Follow Jason to the Gallery!" Thorin instructed everyone else.
Dick and Donna were in front as they raced towards the Gallery.
"This way quickly!" Sansa urged everyone else.
"I hope you have a plan" Tyrion warned Jason.
"I think so" Jason replied, not feeling the confidence necessary.
Everyone else hid behind the statue as Thorin taunted Smaug.
Thorin roared out in Khuzdul, an ancient Dwarf language and everyone yanked on the chains.
The bonds broke and the stone on the Dwarf fell away, revealing pure gold underneath.
Smaug looked enchanted at the statue.
And then the statue melted into a river of gold that drowned Smaug in it.
The gold solidified, and everyone cheered in victory.
"We did it!" Jason smiled.
He and Donna hugged as she laughed in victory.
And then the gold shifted.
Smaug exploded from out of the gold, and ploughed through the door.
He ran outside and jumped into the air, shaking off the gold.
"I am fire" he said aloud.
"I am death!" Smaug said, flying towards Laketown.
Bilbo, Sansa, Arya, Tyrion, Jason, Bruce, Donna and Steve ran outside and looked ahead.
"What have we done?" Bilbo asked in horror.
"We need to stop him now!" Steve said urgently.
"How? That Dragon's hide is impenetrable. There is nothing we can do" Bruce said sadly.
"We must try. And your Batarangs are made of titanium. We might be able to stand a chance against him" Steve replied.
"How the hell are we supposed to get across?" Donna wondered.
"I have a way" Steve replied.
Just then, a sonic boom was heard, making everyone look around.
Hovering in the air was Clark Kent aka Superman of Earth-51.
"You need an assist here?" Clark asked as Sansa, Tyrion, Bilbo and Arya stared in shock, having never seen anyone who could fly.
"Hell yes!" Jason grinned.
"Barry we need your help here" Clark said via comms.
A flash of blue lightning appeared and Earth-51 Barry Allen appeared.
"What do you need Supes?" Barry asked.
"We need to stop that dragon" Clark replied, pointing ahead to where Smaug was burning Laketown.
"We can help as well. I have Vibranium arrows which can penetrate the dragon's hide" Jason added.
"Got it" Barry replied, grabbing everyone and speeding them towards Laketown one by one.
When they arrived, Taurial, the remaining Dwarves and a few other people were in a boat together, looking at the sky fearfully.
Smaug flew overhead as everyone watched.
"I see the truth now!" Smaug said.
"Well. I believe in truth" Clark said as Smaug turned to look at him.
"But my friends and I; we're also big fans of justice" Clark said to him.
Clark then punched Smaug in the face, sending him crashing away.
Smaug got up and breathed fire at Clark, but he was unaffected.
Jason raced on top of houses, as he reached a massive tower.
And there was already someone else there.
"Who are you?" Jason asked.
"Bard. Who are you?" the man asked.
"Jason Stark. Right now, we need to take that dragon down" Jason said.
He notched a Vibranium arrow and fired it, but Smaug threw out his tail, smacking the arrow out of the air.
Clark grabbed Smaug and flew with him high into the air.
Smaug tried to attack, but Clark punched him multiple times in the chest, dazing him.
As Smaug got out of Clark's grip, he fired Heat Vision at the dragon, charring its skin.
"This can penetrate the dragon. It's called a black arrow" Bard said, handing Jason a really long arrow.
"Great, it's named after my codename as well" Jason muttered.
He notched it to his bow and fired.
As it flew, it impaled the dragon in its heart.
Smaug's eyes widened in horror as he flew up.
And then, the light in his eyes went out as he fell down, flattening half the town.
Everyone else looked on as Sansa grinned.
"Well done Jason" she thought to herself.
Smaug was dead!
The tower fell over nad Jason barely jumped off in time, landing hard in the water.
He emerged from the water, clawing for breath as Kili and Sansa helped him up.
"Are you okay?" Kili asked.
"I will be" Jason replied.
"Can you teach me?" Sansa asked, looking at Jason.
"Teach you what?" Jason frowned.
"What you did up there. Archery, and those other skills you did back in Westeros" Sansa replied.
"What? No way! It's too dangerous" Jason protested.
Sansa just gave him a look.
"Fine. If we survive this, maybe" Jason said in defeat.
He looked to the sky, praying for help.
And Chapter 73 is done. I hope you all enjoyed it.
I hope I handled all the fight scenes well in this.
So now Sansa has asked Jason to teach her. She will be his new protégé in this verse.
So now Earth-38 Batman is here, played by Aidan Turner who also played Kili in the Hobbit trilogy. I thought he would make a good choice for Batman. He will show up again next chapter.
Also the person who teleported Jason back to Middle-Earth was Doctor Fate.
I don't know if DCEU Superman can beat Smaug, but I think he is powerful enough to be capable of doing so.
And now Spider-Man, Gandalf and Wilson have been captured, although it won't last for long.
Here are the list of Earths involved in this chapter:
Earth-9. Home of 'Titans'.
Earth-38. Home of Supergirl and Keanu Reeve's Constantine.
