Chapter IX: Rescue Heroes – They Always Save the Daaaaay!
Trip on the rug…damnit! Trip on the coffee table…damnit! Trip on the rug…Damnit! Ron and Shawn continued circling the god forsaken table as they treaded off and on the rug. Shawn wished that somehow Ron would fall to the ground and he would be able to stab him or something like that, but to no such luck did this happen. Left to the merciless crazy red-headed freak boy, Shawn decided he better make the first move to end this…endless…battle.
"DIE!!!" Shouted Shawn, making sure his war cry was heard to all those who lived in a 50 yard radius (which was about two houses, in which no one was home). His knife slashed through the air, heading towards Ron's chest. Hopefully, his non-existent skills at swordplay would help him.
Ron saw the reckless attack coming the moment Shawn broke the circling pattern. He angled his blade to absorb the blow, and twisting the knife, forced Shawn's to be thrown from his hand, over towards the tv. Shawn was hurled backwards and toppled over the coffee table. Landing against the wall where Chloe and Megan had been, he tried to ignore the searing pain coursing through his body. Unblinking eyes settled upon him as he attempted to stand up. Metal to his throat denied that path.
"Checkmate…"
Quick painless death…quick painless death…ringing phone? To Shawn and Ron's surprise, the phone, indeed, was ringing. Ron glanced over his shoulder, cursing the bad timing. He hoped it wasn't El saying Legolas got away. If that was the case, he'd be cutting off that assassin's balls.
Right when Ron looked over his shoulder, Shawn made his move. He threw himself at Ron, knocking both of them over onto the hard wood floor. Ron's head made a loud crack when it connected with the ground. Shawn's elbows and knees had also hit hard, no doubt bruising the bone. He ignored the pain, however, and focused on taking the knife out of Ron's hand. Ron wasn't quite as dazed as Shawn hoped. He squirmed under Shawn's weight, trying to throw the body off him. Shawn grabbed Ron's wrist, trying to force the knife out of his hand. And to Shawn's greatest surprise, Ron dropped the knife (lack of blood circulation).
Not wanting his only means of protection in the hands of his prisoner, Ron smacked the hilt of the knife and it went sprawling off under the couch. Ron and Shawn looked at each other, then back at the knife that was currently laying near the tv, and coincidentally, the phone, which was still ringing. Shawn jumped off Ron and kneed him in the stomach at the same time. Ron followed Shawn only a second later, both desperately grabbing the air for the ever elusive blade of doom. It would've taken too long for one of them to retrieve the knife under the couch, seeing as how they would have to get down on their knees, start reaching around, hopefully not get pricked by the damn weapon, all the while the other person easily grabbing the other knife.
Shawn grabbed the knife off the floor, Ron's hand grabbing slightly lower on the hilt. They began to tug at it, kicking and using their other hands to grab each other's wrists. Whoever was stronger, or had the better grip, would be the victor of this fight. Sweat glistened off the boys' foreheads as the raging battle continued. And the freaking phone continues to ring…or not!
On Shawn's answering machine, Megan began to sing:
"Believe it or not, we aren't at home.
So leave a message after the tone.
We're probably out, or next to the phone.
Where…could…we be?"
Buzz…
"Shawn Michael Star, you answer this phone or I'm going to come over there and kick your gay lover's ass!! Shawn? Shawn!? Don't you think I won't come over there! Pick up this phone NOW!" Great, more wrath de Nina. Then the voice changed to that of a guy's.
"Shawn, I hate to do this buddy, but Nina's right. Pick up the phone, or you're going to lose your girlfriend…" As if I haven't already! Bastard Jared! Stay away from my girlfriend! Oops!! Lack of concentration on the knife and more on what Nina and Jared were saying had let Ron take advantage of the situation…and that was not good for Shawn. Ron was now in possession of the knife.
"C'mon Shawn, even if you're not gay, you and Nina need to patch things up. I'm here to help, buddy."…pause for changing of the phone…"Shawn!!" Now Nina was crying. "Why…why…" And the rest was cut off. Shawn had been staring at the answering machine, and Ron had cut the line off the wall.
"I'm sorry about that. But I couldn't take any more of this soap opera bull shit. Now please be a good little hero and sit back down with Chloe and your sister." They both looked around the room, noticing for the first time in…well, the fight only lasted about ten minutes, so they hadn't noticed their escape for about five. While Shawn was relieved that Chloe and Megan had managed an unbelievable escape, Ron looked as if he was going to take the knife, kill Shawn, then using Shawn's blood, write hateful messages on the wall, while cutting up his body into tiny pieces, feeding them to several kinds of animals, and then moving to a new state where no one knew him. The perfect plan.
"Maybe you're not as good a captor as you thought you were," said Shawn smirking. He knew perfectly well that ticking Ron off at this time probably wasn't the best thing to do, but he couldn't help himself. He had to point out everyone's stupidity, it was in his genes. Ron glared at him, pointing the blade of doom at his throat once again. Somehow, I think that every fight I'm ever in with this guy will end with me having sharp pointy objects threatening my throat…
Ron drew the knife back, getting ready to thrust it forward, ending Shawn's life, when a large bang interrupted them. "If that's the fucking phone…" Said Ron, who apparently forgot that he had demolished Shawn's phone line…Idiot…The door was suddenly thrown open, and four figures came inside.
"Megan! Chloe!" Shouted Shawn, glad to see them alive, yet again prisoners, but alive nonetheless. Then he saw the man in black holding Legolas over his shoulder. "Legolas?" What? How? No way! Some guy had fought Legolas and won! That was unexpected. Even though Shawn had never read the books, he had seen the first two movies, and Legolas was never overcome (other than when all the goblins in Moria had them surrounded, but then ran off when the Balrog appeared, so that instance didn't count).
"El! Finally, you've come back, and with presents I see!" Megan and Chloe hurried over to Shawn, who was once again sitting on the ground. "And look, our dearly departed Legolas has joined us! It only took what, less than two days?" Unconsciously, Shawn remembered it was still Saturday. "Well now, I think a celebration is in order. Tie up these pathetic humans and tie the Elf to something sturdy. Maybe the coffee table…"
Pathetic humans…why didn't he just say people? What's he hiding? And whoa there, hold up! They were searching for Legolas!? How did they know he was here?? Unless…
"You're the ones who brought Legolas here, weren't you?!?" Shawn yelled accusingly as the 'El' man bound his wrists behind his back, along with his ankles. Chloe gasped, realizing what his answer could potentially mean. Megan clung to Chloe when El approached her, giving him puppy dog eyes with a little tear streaming down her face. Too bad there was not one ounce of kindness in El, because Megan was tied up with the rest of them. El went to work binding Legolas to the coffee table, the Elf slightly groaning against the cold surface. Finally, Ron answered,
"Of course we were the ones who brought Legolas here. I could've had Legolas yesterday, but El and I were separated on our journey here. And in this form, I couldn't take down the Elf. And I couldn't exactly go gallivant around as who I really am, and I'm glad that I didn't. You, the sorry excuse for a hero, happened to find Legolas before me. And after I saw you two together, I knew if I stayed in this pathetic body that eventually El would find me and I could risk another encounter with you without exposing anything. Brilliant, no?"
Shawn was a little confused. Ron wasn't who he really was? Pathetic body? Did that mean there was something inhabiting Ron's body? That would make a bit more sense…I don't think the real Ron would be such a good swordsman or a swift talker. "So then who are you really?" Shawn asked nervously, wanting to know, but a little afraid of who it could possibly be.
"You wouldn't want me to give away the surprise now, would you?" Actually I would seeing as how you're holding me and everyone hostage. "Well, you'll find out sooner or later. And while we wait for our beloved Elf to wake up, I think I should introduce my right hand man," Shawn instantly thought of Austin Powers, Number Two..."Elidh-Feredir."
"A whatey whoey?" Shawn asked. He though El was short for Elijah or something like that, but apparently not. Only Chloe's reaction to the name alerted Shawn that there was more behind the name than just sounding weird. "Chloe…why are you freaking out?"
She turned to Shawn, complete fear in her eyes. "His name is in Sindarin…It means Elf Hunter." Shawn froze. Elf Hunter??? That was not a good thing. But now he could understand how El was able to overtake Legolas. He still didn't like it, but at least he knew the true identity of one of his enemies.
Legolas groaned again, catching everyone's attention, they looked over at the coffee table, Ron walking closer and closer to it. While Shawn and Chloe were talking, he had retrieved the other blade of doom, and now had the twin knives by his side.
Legolas' eyes fluttered open, and he immediately regretted ever deciding to do so. He was strapped down to a table on his back, the boy he had seen at the school was staring at him, with a very evil look in his eye…he sensed the man in black close by, along with Shawn, Chloe, and Megan. He looked around the room before panic finally set in. How was he going to get out of this mess?
What do you want with me? He tried to say calmly. Leave these humans out of it! He struggled against the bonds that held him down. He cursed the fact he was in this kind of situation, at the total mercy of his captor.
Hush now, little Elfling. The time for such demands will come later on, after we decide what to do with you first. How about it? But tell me, where has the ring-bearer gone?
Legolas kept his mouth shut. Something about this human wasn't right. He didn't seem human at all. He didn't seem from this world in fact…
So you refuse to speak? That's alright. I can have fun torturing your friends over here, or perhaps you! He took out the blades and put them at the Elf's throat. This guy has a fetish for throats…Legolas didn't even flinch. Ron was becoming a bit angry with the reactions he was receiving from the impotent Elf. Just as he was about to cause some kind of permanent damage to the Elf, the door was flung open by the most unlikely of all people.
"SHAWN STAR!! If you think you can ignore me and think you can get away with it, you think wrong! I'm going to cut off the penis of your lover!! No one ever crosses Nina Albright and gets away…with…it…" A very angry Nina and a nervous Jared stood at the door, taking in the scene before them. Shawn, Chloe, and Megan tied up, being guarded by some guy in all black, and a red headed kid pointing short swords at a blond haired man tied to a table.
"Um…I can come back at a better time…" Nina backed away from the Star household.
Ron sighed and rubbed his temples. "Tie them up too Elidh."
Jared stepped forward, protecting Nina, and taking something out from inside his shirt. "I don't think so…"
tbc…
Responses to Reviews:
Odd-I-See: Yay! You're back! And yes, I know this took a long time to repost, but I was hoping that people would find it again and I could possibly reach 100 reviews, lol, but I doubt it will happen. But I'm glad you found it. The new villain's identity will be revealed next chapter. Hopefully you guys will like it!
Blume: Hmm…I think running into cosplay Legolas' makes my day! ^_^ Everyone love Lance from Ohio! ::hugs:: Ya, I don't know him, but he went as Legolas to the ani con, and I love him, and he thought my hair was cute! ^____^ So you're going to do the hankey with Shawn? Nina had some things to say about that, but Jared got to her first, lol. It's funny how people are either coming from Dreamstrifer and reading this fic or read this fic and go to Dreamstrifer. I find it amusing, and I owe her another mentioning in my fic I think, lol.
namarie2legolas: Well, now you know the man in black's true identity, and it wasn't Legolas' alter ego. And anyway, how could his alter ego look like Aragorn? Lol, (btw, in the original fic of this, the evil person was Orlando Bloom, then I got in trouble cos I killed him, and it just went downhill from there). Will Turner is hot, but Jack Sparrow is better. And coffee sucks! :P
Lily of the Shadow: ^_^ Another original reviewer to come back to me! Lol, I feel loved again! And this is better than the original? Hm…in some ways I guess. But I wish I could've kept with my original plot. How sad…Thanks for the review!
Miw-sher: Look! I'm continuing! I will get this done by the end of summer vacation…or maybe July if I try hard enough.
tamara: Ya…Ron's just a tad off the deep end. But he has his reasons, those of which you saw this chapter, and those of which will be revealed next chapter.
Nina: !! A Nina! Hello Nina! Lol, freaky if you two are alike. Blonde hair? Boyfriend? Boyfriend's friend who wants you? Anyway, yes, Ron is evil, because he is the villain…and because he wants to hurt people. How dare him! Everyone loves Megan! Once the battle is over, be prepared for Megan cuteness! And Chloe will have a bigger part after the whole battle is over as well. Had to be funny to get to the action. ^_^
Dreamstrifer: Hmm…definitely subject him to teeny bopper music. I suggest Hanson's Mmm-Bop song played over and over again. That should make his head explode. Damn, now it's stuck in my head! AHHH! Legolas needs to be saved right now, and his savior: a fangirl and fangirl's boyfriend's best friend. Tch, you are your fanbase…Oh yeah, well I'm on 8 people's Fav lists, SO TAKE THAT! lol
Josh aka Mario: Yes, Shawn was a bully in Middle School. But that was in the past, and ya, Jared had an influence on him. Josh…I better not find you drinking and driving…Josh…stop thinking you're cool. Stop…stop…I'll burn your hat!!! And Jack Sparrow is not, I repeat, NOT liking the salami!! He's a vegetarian. ^_~ ttyl
Lindiel Eryn: Hmm…you found me through Dreamstrifer? Heehee, that's pretty cool! I think the reason why this fic is successful is because it's not slash. I always had that idea, that a normal guy would never fall in love with an Elf. And even though Nina and Jared think Shawn's gay, don't worry, he's not. I'm just adding to the humor of it! ^_^ And I've written a lot of responses, so I better be off!
Next chapter: Ron revealed, battle between Legolas and Ron, and who will save the day? Jared, Shawn, Legolas, or someone else? ^_~ Review and I'll update soon!! Btw, Shawn's answering machine is my actual voice mail!
