Yugi in Middle Earth

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh or lotr. But I do own the story and the minor characters I make up.
What happens when a certain tri-colored hair boy gets transported to Middle Earth with his yami? A SERIOUS fanfic, but doesn't mean that it isn't funny.

Chapter 21: Fallen Comrades
Yugi looked around the dusty room. It was about the same as the whole mine, bodies laying around rotting away or skeletons stuck in the way they had fallen. But what cheered him up the most if anything could in this dismal place at all was the small beam of sunlight that came down out of a hole in the wall, angled just right so that it was hitting a rather box- like thing in the middle of the room.
Gimli who had stood beside him was now kneeling in front of the thing, with his hood drawn over his face. Gandalf approached the stone box and wiped away the years layers of dust that covered its face. Yugi could now see some sort of ruins carved deeply into the stone slab covering the box.
"Here lies Balin, son of Fundin, Lord of Moria." said Gandalf heavily.
Frodo trotted up to Gandalf and looked down at the writing with a downcast face. "He is dead then, I feared it so." whispered Frodo. Yugi stared at the stone box. That was a coffin?
"What is that you have?" asked Gandalf looking up suddenly. Ankhkare had wandered away from the fellowship and had picked up something in his hands and was squinting at it in the sparse lighting.
"It's a book. I found it near the broken chests." said Ankhkare gently dusting its covers off. It was slashed and was partly burned. Some of the pages fell out as Ankhkare opened its bindings.
*
\\ That is disgusting Ankhkare. \\ sniffed Senui, Ankhkare's lips quirked at the judge's comment. He could tell that Senui was itching to try and read the old book. He really had a thing for trying to get information before others. But the old man the other people around Yugi's size called Gandalf beat him to it.
"I'll take that now young man." said Gandalf lifting the tattered book from Ankhkare's arms and put it down on the stone coffin after handing his hat and staff to one of the small people. In the sunlight they could see that it was also covered in old black blood. Ankhkare shrugged as Senui eyed him with a disgusted look on his face.
\\ I'm not touching you again until you get that nasty blood off of you later. \\ said Senui. Ankhkare looked over at Yugi and Ryou, ignoring Senui's remark. The two children were watching Gandalf pouring over the book.
Finally words came out of the man's mouth.
*
Ryou listened in silence as Gandalf read some passages out of the old book. It was some sort of account of . . . the retaking of Moria as Gandalf had put it. Things were going very bad for the dwarves so far. But what made Ryou's insides twist was the next few sentences:
We cannot get out. The end comes, drums, drums in the deep . . . They are coming.
Merry mouthed the last words in shock and Yugi was chewing his lip nervously.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash. Everyone nearly jumped a foot. Slowly all eyes turned to a guilty looking Pippin who was standing in front of a now headless skeleton that was sitting precariously on the edge of a well. As if to confirm his action. The rest of the skeleton fell backwards crashing into the walls as it went, carrying a bucket or something chained to its leg.
The noises resounded loudly until it had fell so far that they couldn't hear it anymore. There was a look of fury on Gandalf's face for just a moment but it died down to just great annoyance. "Fool of a Took!" shouted Gandalf snatching his staff and hat back from the hobbit, "Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity!"
Gandalf was about to start leading the fellowship out of the small room, when a great boom filled the air. Pippin squeaked and jumped closer to the rest of the hobbits. Merry patted him on the back as Sam looked at the youngest hobbit in exasperation.
"Drums in the deep." whispered Frodo.
Shrill cries started emitting from all around and they could hear the stomping and clicking of metal on the stone floor.
"Yrch." spat Legolas quickly stringing his bow and notching an arrow on the string. Frodo pulled his sword and it glowed a bright blue that penetrated the darkness.
Bakura stepped in front of Ryou protectively, his knives bared and gleaming coldly in the light. The loud booms sounded louder and louder. "Wedge and bar the doors! We'll hold them off as long as we can!" commanded Aragorn.
"No! We can't risk the chance of getting shut in. Leave the east door ajar! We will leave that way if we get the chance." demanded Gandalf. Boromir looked out one of the double doors only to draw back quickly. Two arrows lodged themselves where he once was.
"They have a cave troll." panted Boromir recovering from the near-death surprise. He and Aragorn began slamming and wedging down broken axe shafts and rods barring the door as Legolas threw some more materials to them.
Ryou felt himself, Yugi, and the hobbits getting pushed back behind the rest of the fellowship. "Stay with Gandalf!" ordered Aragorn.
{{ For once I agree with that man. }} said Bakura, {{ So stay with the old man! }}
{ Yes Bakura.} sighed Ryou.
*
Shadi watched everything in confusion though he tried not to show it. What was going on? Nothing seemed to be making sense except for the fact that they were being attacked by something. Everyone seemed to be ready to defend themselves. Even Ankhkare was shakily raising his hands in front of him. Small bolts of Shadow Magic were laced through his fingers.
A big banging on the door. The door creaked under the weight of the outside pounding. Shadi put his hands together and bowed his head. He might as well be ready too. Axe blades and swords began chopping at the wooden door so that splinters started flying off in big chips. The Egyptian man backed up a bit bringing up his hands so that the flying things wouldn't hit his face.
Holes began appearing. The man with long blonde hair and pointed ears shot an arrow through the hole. There was a loud squeal as if a pig was being killed brutally. Wait . . . pointed ears? Shadi had heard things about fantasy tales in Japan and from a couple white tourists in Egypt. An elf? And didn't that old man say something about dwarves earlier? Things began to slowly click together, speeding up so that Shadi quickly figured out more than he had thought possible. But pieces were still missing.
The door blew apart and grotesque twisted things began pouring inside the small room. Shadi could see that pharaoh and tomb robber slashing away trying to protect their vessels. The old man was stabbing and slashing as well with a long sword that was glowing. Everywhere there was fighting.
*
"Idiot! Hit them! Stop apologizing and just kill them!" shouted Senui shooting small concentrated beams of Shadow Magic from his fingers at the humanoid things. Ankhkare was being very hesitant about fighting and at first was apologizing to Senui about every mistake he made. But at least he was starting to kill things now, but not without himself yelling at the stupid healer every ten seconds. Large black spark-like things were erupting from Ankhkare's hands, burning up parts of the things. The two were back-to-back trying to cover for each other. So far it was working.
"I'm sor- I mean." Ankhkare stopped in mid-sentence, a huge bulky figure entered the room wielding a great mace. It looked like some sort of monster, "Oh no! Master Shadi!"
It seemed that Shadi was right now the closest to the great hulk of muscle. And he was already busy enough with fending off the other ugly things. They were just swarming all over to him. It seemed to be that he looked like the least dangerous.
"What does he think he's doing?" growled Senui glaring at Shadi. The man was just standing there with his head bowed and he looked as if he was praying to the gods again. Though there was a barrier of some sort dividing them. This was no time to do that! Suddenly Shadi looked up and raised a hand and pointed at the great mass of things. The barrier disappeared and they all lunged at him. A white lightning-bolt flashed through the air blinding nearly everyone. When the dust cleared, there was the smell of burnt flesh and some of the orcs that were still alive were groaning and writhing on the ground. But the fighting never stopped.
"By Thoth!" gaped Senui. He looked around for the huge thing that had come in earlier. It was on the other side of the room sniffing and snorting while pacing around a pillar. The yrch, that's what the blondie said so whatever. More of the yrch were coming at them. The very dirty, rugged looking man with the big sword was chopping down everything in the way.
"Aragorn!" shouted something that was in the corner where the . . .
"The cave troll's got Master Frodo!" yelled one of the small people.
* A cave troll? * thought Senui.
Then everything went so fast after that. There was a yell and all of the people froze. It was a good thing that all of the . . . yrch, were gone. Or else they'd all have been killed for just standing there.
The cave troll was being brutally stabbed by two of the other small people. They had the nerve to jump right onto its back and started chipping their little swords into it. Senui sent a beam of Shadow Magic at the troll, it roared and grasped its side. Dark blood was dripping through its hand. It charged towards Senui. Ankhkare grabbed Senui's arm and pulled him away.
The blondie took the place where they once were and aimed his arrow at the troll. The last midget (the other one had been tossed off) stabbed and the troll roared rearing up. At that moment the blond pretty boy shot the arrow at his throat. The troll stumbled and moaned. And fell with a giant thud. The floor shook slightly.
Everyone crept towards it. Yugi, the pharaoh's little vessel tugged one of the midgets up to his feet. Oh who could tell the difference, they all had curly brown hair.
"Aragorn! What about Master Frodo?" asked another midget. There were too many of them!
*
Yami walked slowly to where Aragorn was watching Frodo. The hobbit hadn't moved at all. "Hurry, we have to run! The other orcs will be here soon!" said Aragorn lifting Frodo into his arms, "Boromir can lead the way. Legolas and I will stay in the back." But they couldn't go just yet. There was another problem. Frodo wasn't the only one that was hurt. Shadi was leaning against the wall. His normally dark tanned skin was paled and clammy.
"Thoth, the idiot used all his energy. I'll take over here." muttered Senui. There was a brief flash of light and Senui disappeared. Shadi jerkily got up and then there was another flash of light and Shadi disappeared only to be replaced by Senui again. "He's in his soul room now. So let's go already!" Shock was apparent throughout the fellowship at this strange action but they went.
They ran down a flight of staircases. Ahead was a light. Boromir had a lit torch in his hands and was running at a very high speed. At the sight of light, he sped up and stopped abruptly at the end, it was a staircase that had been cut short or something. His arms swung and he dropped his torch. Down it fell. Yami felt someone rush by him and there was Legolas. The elf grabbed Boromir under the arms and pulled him back. The two fell onto the stairs in a tired heap.
"We must be more careful." said Aragorn as he caught up, "We must wait for Gandalf. He stayed to ward off the rest of the enemy."
As they waited Yami looked down into the fiery chasms of the mines. There was fire everywhere. The orcs must of set the place on fire to stop them. Fortunately they must not have known that stone doesn't burn.
He caught a glint of gold as the fire reflected off the smooth surface of the Ring around unconscious Frodo's neck. All he had to do was to snatch it away. The other's weren't even paying attention! Yami flinched and grabbed the wall harder. He must resist this temptation. What was happening to him?
Frodo suddenly convulsed and opened his eyes and momentarily they met with Yami's crimson ones, he looked away uneasily and said with great effort, "I'm alright! I can walk put me down!" Aragorn nearly dropped him in surprise.
"I thought you were dead!" gasped Aragorn.
Gandalf suddenly rushed down the hall. "No he isn't yet! Hurry! To the bridge of Khazad-dum!" he shouted leading the way once more.
As they all ran down the halls. Orcs started chasing after them. Jumping up from great big fissures in the stone floor. Through doors and crawling like cockroaches down the ceiling and pillars.
Soon they were surrounded. The hobbits and Yugi and Ryou were pushed into the middle of a protective circle once again. But the orcs were hesitating. A red glow was slowly coming down the hall. There was a sound like rough stones grating over each other and the ground shook. The orcs made shrill panicking sounds and scattered away.
The fellowship froze staring at horror wondering what new evil was brought upon them. Boromir voiced all of their thoughts, "What new devilry is this?"
Gandalf closed his eyes in weariness or something else. "It is a Balrog, a demon and one of Morgoth's creations." He leaned heavily on his staff.
Yami stared his eyes wide in shock. His brain was telling him to run, but his muscles weren't responding, it was rather like a deer in headlights kind of experience. Only when Gandalf had started urging them to run was when they could move. They descended more flights of stairs and tried to reach the bridge in time.
*
Ankhkare froze when they reached a gap in the staircase. Legolas jumped across and then Gandalf, Senui went after that. Ankhkare readied himself to jump when suddenly Boromir leapt across with two of the hobbits in his arms. The stone under his feet broke and Ankhkare struggled to reach and grab something to take hold of. A hand came down and gasped his arm. Senui was slowly pulling him up.
"Thank you." murmured Ankhkare.
"Shut-up baka. I only did it because Shadi and the pharaoh would probably get mad at me, not to mention the tomb robber as well." muttered Senui. Bakura had taken over his hikari's body like Senui had done and jumped across for him as did Yami. They were taking no chances with losing their light's life. Aragorn tossed one of the hobbits to the other side and the dwarf made the decision to jump. He would have fallen if it weren't for Legolas grabbing his beard.
Now all that was left was Aragorn and Frodo. A great stone crashed down onto the staircase behind the two. The thing began tilting and groaning. Slowly it moved forward until Aragorn and Frodo could just jump off. Then they began fleeing once again.
Each of them passed over the bridge single filed. It took most of Ankhkare's courage and self-control not to look down. When nearly all of them had reached the other side. The fires rushed up and a huge, gigantic human-like shape rose out of the fires. It spread its great black wings and crossed the firewall. It looked as if it were made out of molten lava that had crusted on the top. In one hand it carried a fiery red sword, and in another it had a many-lashed whip that glowed. It in every way looked like some sort of demon.
Gandalf was still on the far side of the bridge. He was shouting something to the Balrog. It in turn brought down its great sword, but was turned away. The old man brought up his staff and slammed it down onto the bridge. The Balrog took a step towards Gandalf and the bridge cracked. But something went wrong as the bridge split the sides cracked. And Gandalf fell down with the Balrog. But he wasn't the only one. Still crossing the bridge, was Senui. The judge was nearly to the other side when he fell so he was close to the sides of the chasm. Ankhkare watched, he didn't know that he had ran all the way to the side of the chasm. He looked down to see where the other spirit was.
*
Senui was hanging just barely on a very small stone outcrop jutting out of the chasm's side. Ankhkare leaned over to give Senui his hand. Senui grunted and reached up with his free hand and tried to grab onto Ankhkare. Their fingertips brushed each other's. Ankhkare leaned down further, but just at the moment the small outcrop snapped under Senui's weight. He scrambled for Ankhkare's hand and just managed to grasp his fingers. But his hands were too slippery to hang onto anything for any longer, and he fell.
* * * to be continued . . . maybe in a while * * *
So what do you think? Updates will be slower just to remind you all. I'm going to Asia for three weeks and I'm trying to get my dad to put Microsoft Word or something onto his laptop so I can type me fics on there. Hehehe. Poor Ankhkare, Poor Shadi and Senui. Don't kill me okay! I didn't want to do that! But someone had to have something horrible happen to them! Don't worry things will turn out okay I hope, unless Seth has something else planned out in his head. –Fire Pendant

Yami flinched and grabbed the wall harder. He must resist this temptation. What was happening to him?
Frodo suddenly convulsed and opened his eyes and momentarily they met with Yami's crimson ones, he looked away uneasily and said with great effort, "I'm alright! I can walk put me down!" Aragorn nearly dropped him in surprise.
"I thought you were dead!" gasped Aragorn.
Gandalf suddenly rushed down the hall. "No he isn't yet! Hurry! To the bridge of Khazad-dum!" he shouted leading the way once more.
As they all ran down the halls. Orcs started chasing after them. Jumping up from great big fissures in the stone floor. Through doors and crawling like cockroaches down the ceiling and pillars.
Soon they were surrounded. The hobbits and Yugi and Ryou were pushed into the middle of a protective circle once again. But the orcs were hesitating. A red glow was slowly coming down the hall. There was a sound like rough stones grating over each other and the ground shook. The orcs made shrill panicking sounds and scattered away.
The fellowship froze staring at horror wondering what new evil was brought upon them. Boromir voiced all of their thoughts, "What new devilry is this?"
Gandalf closed his eyes in weariness or something else. "It is a Balrog, a demon and one of Morgoth's creations." He leaned heavily on his staff.
Yami stared his eyes wide in shock. His brain was telling him to run, but his muscles weren't responding, it was rather like a deer in headlights kind of experience. Only when Gandalf had started urging them to run was when they could move. They descended more flights of stairs and tried to reach the bridge in time.

Ankhkare froze when they reached a gap in the staircase. Legolas jumped across and then Gandalf, Senui went after that. Ankhkare readied himself to jump when suddenly Boromir leapt across with two of the hobbits in his arms. The stone under his feet broke and Ankhkare struggled to reach and grab something to take hold of. A hand came down and gasped his arm. Senui was slowly pulling him up.
"Thank you." murmured Ankhkare.
"Shut-up baka. I only did it because Shadi and the pharaoh would probably get mad at me, not to mention the tomb robber as well." muttered Senui. Bakura had taken over his hikari's body like Senui had done and jumped across for him as did Yami. They were taking no chances with losing their light's life. Aragorn tossed one of the hobbits to the other side and the dwarf made the decision to jump. He would have fallen if it weren't for Legolas grabbing his beard.
Now all that was left was Aragorn and Frodo. A great stone crashed down onto the staircase behind the two. The thing began tilting and groaning. Slowly it moved forward until Aragorn and Frodo could just jump off. Then they began fleeing once again.
Each of them passed over the bridge single filed. It took most of Ankhkare's courage and self-control not to look down. When nearly all of them had reached the other side. The fires rushed up and a huge, gigantic human-like shape rose out of the fires. It spread its great black wings and crossed the firewall. It looked as if it were made out of molten lava that had crusted on the top. In one hand it carried a fiery red sword, and in another it had a many-lashed whip that glowed. It in every way looked like some sort of demon.
Gandalf was still on the far side of the bridge. He was shouting something to the Balrog. It in turn brought down its great sword, but was turned away. The old man brought up his staff and slammed it down onto the bridge. The Balrog took a step towards Gandalf and the bridge cracked. But something went wrong as the bridge split the sides cracked. And Gandalf fell down with the Balrog. But he wasn't the only one. Still crossing the bridge, was Senui. The judge was nearly to the other side when he fell so he was close to the sides of the chasm. Ankhkare watched, he didn't know that he had ran all the way to the side of the chasm. He looked down to see where the other spirit was.
*
Senui was hanging just barely on a very small stone outcrop jutting out of the chasm's side. Ankhkare leaned over to give Senui his hand. Senui grunted and reached up with his free hand and tried to grab onto Ankhkare. Their fingertips brushed each other's. Ankhkare leaned down further, but just at the moment the small outcrop snapped under Senui's weight. He scrambled for Ankhkare's hand and just managed to grasp his fingers. But his hands were too slippery to hang onto anything for any longer, and he fell.

So what do you think? Updates will be slower just to remind you all. I'm going to Asia for three weeks and I'm trying to get my dad to put Microsoft Word or something onto his laptop so I can type me fics on there. Hehehe. Poor Ankhkare, Poor Shadi and Senui. Don't kill me okay! I didn't want to do that! But someone had to have something horrible happen to them! Don't worry things will turn out okay I hope, unless Seth has something else planned out in his head. –Fire Pendant
