Chapter X: Expect the Unexpected
"And what's a little human boy going to do?" Ron watched as Jared produced a long black stick from inside his shirt. "Oh, are you going to poke me with that?" He laughed maniacally. Jared, you pansy! Why don't you have a gun or something more USEFUL?!? Shawn cursed Jared to hell and back. Though out of the corner of his eye, Shawn saw that Legolas was eyeing the little stick very curiously. Then, as if he had realized something so obvious, his eyes snapped open, and a smirk crept onto his lips. What had Legolas figured out that Shawn hadn't? He looked back at Jared and saw the same smirk that was on the Elf.
It seemed that Ron had finally caught on, and was now threatening Legolas' life once again. "You even come one step closer, and the Elf will die." The threat was pathetic; something that one would make when all hope was lost. Which meant…Shawn might come out of this alive! Shawn watched in awe as the black stick in Jared's hand began to glow. Nina jumped back away from the house, but still stayed to watch whatever the hell was going down.
"I am a servant of the secret fire!" The black staff grew in length as Jared continued, "Wielder of the flame of Anor!" Those words seemed somehow very familiar…And then it his Shawn; those were the words Gandalf recited in the mines of Moria! Did that mean…the big stick…looking a tad like a staff…made sense…Jared was perfect in every single way, it could only add up to this…was Jared…
"Yeh're a wizard, Jared," Shawn said in Hagrid's voice. If Jared wasn't basking in a circle of light, Chloe might've laughed, but it didn't seem like the right time.
"Istari," Jared whispered.
"Yeh're an Ih-stari, Jared…you know, it doesn't work the same that way." Well, other than the fact his best friend ended up being a mystical wizardy guy, things couldn't have gotten worse. That was, until Jared started chanting in a really strange language and the house was becoming all dark. Megan clung to Chloe and started crying out loud. Though watching Jared make a total fool of himself (even if it *was* going to save all of their lives) Shawn knew that something was afoot.
The Elidh-Feredir guy had started marching towards Jared, determined to end the chant before it was completed. Jared looked at Shawn and nudged his head towards the kitchen. His eyes spoke for him, "Go to the freakin' kitchen, grab a knife, and HELP ME." Shawn started rolling on the floor (his hands and feet were sort of tied up), around the coffee table (Ron was too concentrated on Legolas and Jared, he didn't notice the Filipino boy), and into the kitchen, where he kneeled and was able to lean himself on the wall to stand up. He turned around and felt for one of the knives on the stack and attempted to cut his bonds. With any luck, he could chuck a couple knives at Ron and/or Elidh.
While Shawn was trying to free himself, Jared's chants rang through the house. It was as if the house itself had started to shake from the vibrations of his voice. The light surrounding him became brighter as the room darkened even more. Elidh raised his hands over his eyes as the radiance became unbearable. Ron was even starting to block his eyes with one of the blades.
The black stick had long since become a wooden staff, with a jade orb settled on its peak. "Return to your true form, creature of darkness!" Jared shouted as all went completely black. Even though the door was open, no light spilled into the room. A curse was heard as Shawn cut himself from being surprised, Megan's cries could be heard in little whimpers, and then there was silence…
But apparently, Jared did have some sort of magic, because a faint red glow resonated from where Legolas lay. Jared eyed it, knowing exactly who the being was; Legolas' face could be seen now. The crimson light became brighter and brighter, until a huge red eye floated above the pale body of Ron. No heat emanated from it. It was as if an apparition had entered the room and decided to haunt all those in the Star residence. Shawn, being freed from the rope and holding a steak knife, entered the room and saw the giant eye.
"What the fuck??" The freaking eye of Sauron…of course! I mean, why not add ANOTHER fictional mystical thing to the whole scheme of things. But it did make sense why Ron wanted to know where Frodo was. He *did* want his little old ring of power back. But why the hell would he send Legolas here in order to do so? Why would Jared be an Istari (a wizard, Shawn guessed) and not tell him about it? And what the hell was that shining into his eyes?!?
The reflection of Sauron on Legolas' twin blades, which were spiraled on top of Ron's lifeless body, glistened in front of Shawn. Oh, nice! Maybe the giant eye wouldn't see him scuttle over and pick them up…
And Nina had had enough of being confused as hell. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?"
Jared looked at her, and well, you could say the eye looked, but it was looking all around at the same time, so it kind of looked at her, in a way…Before Jared could tell Chloe to shut her pie hole, somehow the eye had formed an invisible mouth to speak out of.
"Did you not see my name? Ron Dorslau…" The name ringed a bell in all ears.
"Lord Sauron," Chloe whispered. It was his name mixed up!
Jared decided it was his turn to explain. "Sauron created that body years ago, knowing that the ring was calling to him. He knew that someone would try to stop him by casting the ring into the Mordor, and he had to stop them. If he brought them to this world, they would be powerless against Sauron. Except he couldn't bring the ring here, so he brought one of the fellowship. That way he could get the location of the ring and go back to Middle-Earth and hunt it down very easily. Hence why I was sent seventeen years ago to follow Ron and protect the gate that Sauron and a fellowship member would have to go through…though I never did arrive on time, did I?"
While Shawn stopped to wonder why everyone had to explain the evil plan of the villain during the middle of fight, he noticed Elidh was turned around, facing Jared, ready to attack him. And Jared still couldn't move his staff away from Sauron, lest he get away or something like that. Shawn, thinking fast, and hoping that his aim was much better than he thought it was, threw a knife at Elidh.
And he wasn't…though he did manage to hit Elidh's head with the hilt of the blade, causing him to lose consciousness, and giving Jared the opportunity to do whatever he wanted with Sauron. He was, after all, an Istari. While Jared stuck his staff out and walked closer and closer to the all seeing eye, Shawn quickly slashed the bonds of Legolas, and both stood at the other side of Sauron. Legolas now had one of his blades, though its usefulness on a glowing spirit eye was in doubt.
"Go back to the Shadow!" Yelled Jared and beaming light illuminated the room. That doesn't really make sense…did he mean Middle-Earth? Or perhaps Mordor? Whatever Jared had meant, Sauron was pinned by the Istari's staff. Maybe he's like as powerful as Gandalf and Saruman put together… "The Dark Lord will never return to power!"
::poof::
And all was right with the world…or was it?
Shawn stared at the pile of ashes on his carpet. Everything was its normal brightness, and even Elidh and Ron's bodies were gone. Though Jared still held the long black staff in his hand. That went by a little too quick…it's like a Harry Potter movie…Everything's resolved with something going ::poof!::…I wonder if Jared has a hidden scar on his forehead…
"Hey Jared…I think it's time we had a little talk…"
~*~
"And so you see, Sauron brought Legolas here to get the location of the ring. And I'm here because we Istari knew Sauron would try to pull something like this, so they sent one of us (me) to live here in Edison, since it's the only town in the world that has a dimensional gate. (Also known as the area under the goal posts.) And now Ron's body has deteriorated, since he doesn't have a spirit in him, and Sauron is back in Middle-Earth, where he should be, and I'm here, protecting the gate, and Elidh…well, I'm not too sure about him."
The group listened as Jared explained for the umpteenth time how Sauron and Legolas came to be in Edison. Things were beginning to clear up, but now Legolas wanted to go through the gate mentioned by Jared.
"NOOO! NOT MY ELF!!" Yelled Chloe when Legolas told her (he still didn't know enough English) that he wanted to go back to Middle-Earth.
"Chloe, this whole time we wanted to find a way for Legolas to go home, and now he's found a way." Shawn reasoned. "Shouldn't you, ya know, let him go?"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" She whined. Megan covered her ears and buried herself into Legolas' tunic. She hadn't let go of him since he untied her from the rope.
"Well…there's a slight problem there too…" Jared said nervously. Everyone eyed him. He laughed trying to lighten the mood. "It's not a bad problem…just a slight delay…" Once again, blank stare, even Legolas who was getting this all translated by Chloe. "Eh…well…the only way to go through the gate is with an exceptional amount of energy…and I kind of…drained my supply sending Sauron back…So…Legolas…is stuck here…until I can regain some major power…"
"And how long will that be?" Asked Shawn agitated.
"I have no idea. I've never sent a Dark Lord to another dimension before! Why don't you try it some time!" Jared was becoming a bit defensive in his weakened state.
Shawn sighed. "Well, I guess we'll just hang out here until you 'regenerate' or whatever the hell you have to do."
"Fuck you."
"Only girls man, only girls."
Chloe looked around the room and noticed a member missing. "Where's Nina? Didn't she come with you Jared?" Jared took a look around the room and saw the door still hanging open.
"Oh ya! She's still outside. Looks like she's been petrified. And why is it that today reminds me of Harry Potter?"
Shawn jumped up and saw to his girlfriend. Her eyes were unblinking as she stared drooling at Legolas. He waved his hands in front of her face, then said blankly, "I think she's in a fantasy coma…"
tbc…
Responses to Reviews:
Blume: Slash is good, we like slash!! ^_^ Specially Legolas/Glorfindel, Shuichi/Yuki, Shuichi/Ryuichi, Tatsuha/Ryuichi, etc…I love Gravitation! ^_^ And while I must say the reviews have come a tad…strange, the first review you gave me was by far the strangest. No one has ever given me out their bra size before! Lol, but anyway, yes! The great outdoors! Just wait till I take Legolas to the park!!!
Nina: Blonde highlights work. I had red, but my hair is so dark, you couldn't see them at all. How sad. ^_^ I still say my second to last boyfriend was definitely gay. Should've trusted Sara's (my friend) Gaydar. Then I could've avoided the whole thing. ^_^ Megan's alive but shaken!
namarie2legolas: lol, I screamed through the phone to my boyfriend once…but that was because there was a spider in my room…lol, I don't know if you can beat up people, but apparently, putting any real life people in fics is a no no. Damn, and no, you can beat up Brad Pitt, though I do think he is quite sexy. Umm…how about…we make Ron eat the nasty pizza, we braid Legolas' hair, then we proceed to rape both Shawn and Legolas while a gang of homos chases Ron around ^_~
Anthy's worst fear: Is it just me, or are there multiple personalities here? Lol, wish I had an inner Dilandau. That's be awesome!!! I wonder if Dmitri counts. He wants to rule the world. Pink hair does rock, as does slash. And ya, WOO HOO TO PINK HAIR!! Lol
Josh: look! I wrote a chapter! And now I'm writing more cos you complained about not being special. Anyway, hope you like my twisted version of Jared and Harry Potter. Maybe I will give Jared a scar, which would make sense since he always wears a hat. More Nina to come, specially with Jared and her O_o and I really need to focus on Legolas more. I keep going to my OCs, when I kno the fans want more Legolas, cos that's what I would want. And then you just want more Jared, lol. How frigged up is that?
Dreamstrifer: lol, someone's voicemail was hello, and I started talking to it, then I realized it was voice mail and felt like a complete idiot. AND YOU DO NOT OWN MY FAN BASE! ::hugs reviewers:: THEY"RE MINE I TELL YOU! MIIIIIINE! Damn Clementine. I hate him…o hey, I'm in your fan base too, go figure…
tamara: he pulled out…a cat! Look! He's a magician! Tee hee..okay so not really, but it would've been funny. Or if he pulled out Orlando Bloom. That would've been NICE.
Anyway, I need to do summer reading, so if I don't update soon, blame it on that and damn teachers. Ja ne!
