Chapter 12: The Bridge of Khazad-dûm
As the Fellowship walked on Becky and Missy began to skip and sing their very own horribly off-key version of "The Road goes ever on and on."
"The Road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began! Now far ahead the road has gone, and I must follow if I caaaan!!!!" Becky wailed, skipping circles around Missy.
"The road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began! Now far ahead the road has gone, and I must follow if I caaaan!!!!" Missy imitated, skipping around Becky.
"Aragorn? Legolas?" Gandalf said wearily.
Legolas and Aragorn dutifully stepped over to Becky and Missy. "Hello."
Becky shrieked and half-fainted. Legolas had to hold her up with one hand.
Missy just stared at Aragorn and her eyes glazed over. She half-fainted too and Aragorn held her in place with one arm.
"Thank the Valar," Legolas muttered. "Blessed silence."
As soon as he said that Gimli spotted a door far off to the side. It was strewn with the bodies of dead Orcs. Gimli ran through the door and into a chamber.
"GIMLI!" Gandalf called, more than a little exasperated now.
"No! Oh no! No!" Gimli said, weeping. He was kneeling next to a table in the middle of the room on which lay a great slab of white stone which had many Dwarf runes upon it. The stone gave off an eerie light.
"'Here lies Balin, son of Fundin, Lord of Moria'," Gandalf read. "He's dead then. It is as I feared."
Gandalf handed his staff and hat to Pippin who looked a little taken aback.
He reached down to gently remove a book that was gripped in the hands of one of the skeletons.
"We must move on. We cannot linger," Legolas whispered to Aragorn who nodded slightly.
"Why don't you people listen to the extremely hot and soon to be the eldest of you all?" Becky asked, exasperated. "But no. No one ever listens to the immortal, wise, fair, hot, gorgeous, loveliest one of you all who could save all your lives if you'd listen TO HIM WHEN HE OPENS HIS GORGEOUS MOUTH TO SPEAK!"
They all looked at Becky and blinked simultaneously.
"Oh never mind," Becky said, hugging Legolas. "At least I listened to you, darling."
"That thought gives me great comfort," Legolas replied, rolling his eyes at Aragorn over Becky's head.
"They have taken the bridge and the second hall. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes. Drums, drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A Shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get out. They are coming." Gandalf read.
"Who's coming Gandalfy?" Missy asked, eyes wide.
Becky left Legolas' side and whispered something to Missy who gulped in terror and leapt to Aragorn's side.
Pippin touched a skeleton by a well and it fell in, dragging a bucket with it and making a great clamor of noise.
Gandalf slammed the book shut and stormed over to Pippin. He grabbed back his hat and staff.
"FOOL OF A TOOK!" Gandalf roared. "Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity!"
"Oh poor baby," Becky said, running forward and hugging the poor hobbit. "Sheesh. You didn't hafta be so harsh. Look at the poor thing. He's trembling!"
Suddenly drums are heard and Sting glowed blue.
"Orcs!" Legolas said.
"Isn't he brilliantly smart?" Becky said, almost fainting.
"Yes he is!" Missy said and caught her cousin just as she was about to hit the ground.
"Get back! Stay close to Gandalf!" Aragorn called to the Hobbits.
Boromir ran to shut the door and narrowly missed being shot in the head by two arrows.
"They have a cave troll!" Boromir said.
They begin barring the door with Legolas lightly tossing axes to them.
"Let them come! There is one dwarf yet in Moria that still draws breath," Gimli said from atop the tomb of Balin.
"That's why my loveliness still has to save you," Becky said and received a glare from Gimli.
The Orcs began trying to force into the chamber. Their hands begin appearing in holes in the door. Legolas shoots them with deadly precision. (A\N: what? I love him to death so he gets preference ;))
Finally they burst through the door and begin attacking the Fellowship.
Becky and Missy had been given Elven blades by Lords Elrond and Glorfindel but they hadn't really paid attention when Elrond had tried to teach the girls how to use them. Becky had kept her own wrapped in plastic in the same green box as her LOTR books and she'd also stolen Missy's to use as a mirror.
So Becky and Missy did the next best thing they could do: scream. Among other things.
Becky screeched and raced to her Legolas, pulling out her extra bottle of Herbal Essences hair spray as she ran.
She had noticed Legolas' hair getting the slightest disarrayed while he'd been slashing at Orcs with is Elven blades.
"Leggy!" she shrieked and he turned in surprise wondering if he really HAD to save her.
Becky aimed for his hair but he ducked to avoid losing his head to an ugly Orc and the Orc got the full blast of Herbal Essences Hair Spray.
The Orc spluttered and dropped to the ground.
"I CAN FIGHT!" Becky yelled triumphantly.
"I think I'm getting the hang of this!" Sam cried, knocking out several Orcs with his frying pan.
Just then the cave troll came stomping in.
Legolas was the first one to shoot: getting it in its chest.
"You go my love!" Becky cheered loudly.
"FRODO!" Aragorn yelled as the troll began to drag off Frodo.
"Hey you leave the cute little hobbit alone!" Becky said, stomping over to Frodo's defense and yelling at the troll.
"ARAGORN! ARAGORN!" Frodo yelled helplessly.
"He is coming, sheesh," Becky rolled her eyes. "The guy's gotta save himself before he saves you yah know."
"Frodo!" Aragorn cried. He managed to fight off the cave troll and thrust a spear into its chest but it did not pierce its thick hide. The troll hit Aragorn and throws him aside.
"Hot Ranger Dude!" Becky and Missy howled simultaneously and dove to rescue Aragorn. "We are coming!"
Frodo runs to Aragorn's side and faced the troll. It hurled a spear at Frodo and pinned him to the wall.
Merry and Pippin jumped onto the troll's back stabbing at him with their little swords.
Legolas shot the troll in the neck and it came crashing down slowly.
"You go my sweet Elfy!" Becky hollered and ran to him, nearly crushing his bow in the process.
"Hey! Not by bow!" Legolas cried holding his precious Mirkwood bow over his head. It had been a gift from his father and he didn't want it getting squashed.
Aragorn crawled over to Frodo. "Oh no." He turned him over.
"He's alive!" Sam said, looking amazed.
"Well like duh he's alive. Like, Mithril," Becky said and Missy clamped a hand over her mouth. "Whoopsy daisy."
"I'm all right. I'm not hurt," Frodo said.
"You should be dead. That spear would have skewered a wild boar," Aragorn said.
"Are you comparing the poor little hobbitsy to a boar?" Becky said. "I mean he's hairy and all but you didn't have to tell him that to his face."
"LEGOLAS?" Gandalf said, through clenched teeth.
"Becky dear," Legolas said causing Becky to scream and faint. Missy caught her in the nick of time.
"I think there's more to this Hobbit than meets the eye," Gandalf said with a knowing smile.
Frodo unbuttoned his tunic to reveal his Mithril coat.
"Mithril!" Gimli said, admiration obvious. "You are full of surprises, Master Baggins."
Suddenly they heard more Orcs coming.
"To the bridge of Khazad-dûm!" Gandalf yelled and the Fellowship began running, Becky and Missy with some difficulty as their platform shoes were getting a bit worn out.
Soon they are surrounded by Orcs. Becky shivered and tucked herself between Gandalf and Legolas.
The Fellowship was all ready to fight, swords and axe drawn, bow at the ready, staff and hair spray in hand.
At the end of the hallway they spotted a red glow on the walls.
The Orcs run and the Fellowship lowered their weapons in surprise.
"What is this new devilry?" Boromir muttered.
Gandalf paused to think for a moment. "A Balrog. A demon of the ancient world. This foe is beyond any of you. Run!"
The Fellowship took off running madly.
Boromir gets to the front of the line but doesn't look where he is going and nearly tumbles off a gap in the stones. Luckily Legolas arrives in time and catches him but both of them toppled backwards.
"My darling saves you and you nearly crush him!" Becky shrieked, estranged. "Get off him!"
She tossed Boromir off him once again nearly sending the poor man hurtling off the stairs.
"Gandalf?" Aragorn said.
"Lead them on, Aragorn," Gandalf said. "The bridge is near."
Aragorn stared at him, not fully comprehending.
Gandalf pushed him away. "Do as I say! Swords are no more use here!"
They ran for a while until they came to a break in the rock. Legolas immediately leapt over landing gracefully on the other side.
"Oh that's it. Will you just marry me and stop torturing me with your hotness?" Becky begged, getting down on one knee and holding out a Milky Way bar.
"I STILL DON'T KNOW YOU!" Legolas yelled at her. "Gandalf!" he motioned for Gandalf to jump over.
Gandalf jumps and Legolas helped him over.
"Hey how come you didn't call me over?" Becky asked, hands on hips. "I'm sure you'd catch the Milky Way bar instead of me wouldn't you?"
Legolas chose to ignore her as at that moment Boromir leapt over with Merry and Pippin in his hands. The rock beneath them crumbled as they went.
By that time Orcs were shooting at them but Legolas quickly pulled out his bow and arrows and were taking them out by the dozen.
"Sam," Aragorn said and tossed him over.
He motioned to toss Gimli but the Dwarf stopped him.
"Nobody tosses a dwarf!" Gimli said and tried to leap over the gap but would've fallen into the abyss had Legolas not caught him by the beard. "Not the beard!!"
"Becky, Missy," Aragorn motioned to fling them over the gap.
"NO WAY!" Becky screamed. "NOT ON YOUR HOT RANGER DUDE LIFE! I AM NOT JUMPING THAT GAP!"
"ME NEITHER!" Missy yelled and the cousins grabbed onto each other.
"Come on," Legolas motioned to them. "Hurry!"
"NO WAY!" Becky shouted again. "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE OUTTA YOUR HOT ELVEN MIND? I AM SO TOTALLY COMPLETELY NO JUMPING THAT GAP. I'M NOT BEING TOSSED OVER EITHER."
Aragorn realized that the stone stairs they were standing on were beginning to sway ever so slightly.
"Come on. Please," Aragorn begged. "I beseech you please jump over or let me toss you!"
"CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH ER WESTRON?" Becky glared daggers at Aragorn. "Perhaps you'd like it in Elvish. NYS! NYS! NYS! NO! NO! NO!"
On the other side of the gap Gandalf had been whispering something to Legolas who was beginning to look extremely sullen with each word.
"NO! Please anything but," Legolas begged.
"It is the only way," Gandalf said but there was a slight smile underneath his beard. "I am sorry for doing this to you but we need to get the Ringbearer and Aragorn over here now."
Legolas sighed in exasperation and then shouted back over to the four on the other side, "Becky! Yes, I will marry you."
Becky shrieked in delight and immediately leapt over the gap, dragging her cousin with her.
"AHHHH!" Missy shrieked as soon as her feet touched ground on the other side. She got down on her knees and began kissing the earth.
"OH MY LEGOLAS! I knew you'd come fully to your senses one day," Becky said, hugging him. "I knew you'd finally agree to marry me! When my darling? Shall we get married now?"
"Actually that was just a trick of Gandalf's to get you over here," Legolas said.
"Oh," Becky said, sniffling. "YOU DON'T LOVE ME!"
"I DON'T KNOW YOU!!!!!"
"Frodo!" Aragorn cried, realizing the stone steps were about to collapse. He grabbed Frodo by the back of his tunic. "Steady. Hold on!"
The rock had begun to sway. "Hang on!"
The top of stone broke away from the bottom bit, and fell at an angle, towards the bit of stone that the rest of the Fellowship was standing on.
"Lean forward. Steady," Aragorn instructed Frodo.
"Surfin' Middle-earth!" Becky shouted, giggling.
"Come on! Now!" Legolas called.
Frodo and Aragorn managed to get over onto the other side.
"Over the bridge! Fly!" Gandalf yelled.
The Fellowship runs over the bridge, Becky and Missy being dragged by Aragorn and flapping their arms and going "Caw, Caw."
While the others continue onwards, Gandalf stops in the middle of the bridge and faced the Balrog.
"You cannot pass!" Gandalf said firmly.
"GANDALF!" Becky and Frodo howled at the same time.
Becky would have taken off after Gandalf except that Aragorn, Legolas and Missy were holding her in place.
"I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor! The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn! Go back to the Shadow!! YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!" Gandalf shouted, bringing down his staff in the middle of the bridge. The bridge broke and the Balrog fell.
Gandalf sighed and turned around but the Balrog's whip catches onto his ankle and pulls him down. He grabbed onto the edge of the bridge but could not keep his grip.
"NO! NO!" Boromir yelled, holding onto Frodo who tried to run after Gandalf.
"GANDALF!!!!!" Frodo and Becky yelled. At that moment Becky leapt free of Missy and began running towards the bridge. "NO!"
"Becky! NO!" Legolas shouted and grabbed the back of her shirt, holding her in place. "Stop!"
Becky was struggling to go after Gandalf; she didn't care if it was completely messed up if Gandalf didn't 'fall' and he came with them to Lothlórien.
"Fly, you fools!" Gandalf said and then he fell.
"NO!!!! NO!!!" Frodo howled as Boromir carried him away.
The Fellowship takes off with Legolas and Missy dragging Becky and Boromir dragging Frodo. The only one who remained was Aragorn still staring into the abyss.
"ARAGORN!" Boromir called, still holding the sobbing Frodo.
The Fellowship emerged out of the darkness of Moria into the midst of the Dimrill Dale where they stood in the brilliant sunshine.
Sam sits on a rock and begins to weep, head in his hands; Boromir comforted Gimli; Merry consoled his weeping, younger cousin; and Legolas stood nearby, a look of utter disbelief on his fair features.
By now Becky had stopped crying because she comforted herself by saying they'd see him soon (though without Boromir, Merry and Pippin) and they'd be going to Lothlórien where Haldir was!
Aragorn wiped his sword with a stroke and but it back in it's sheath.
"Legolas, get them up!" Aragorn said and Legolas looked at him in surprise but nevertheless went to Becky and Missy.
"Give them a moment for pity's sake!" Boromir said.
"By nightfall these hills will be swarming with Orcs. We must reach the woods of Lothlórien. Come Boromir. Legolas, Gimli, get them up," Aragorn said. He walked over to Sam and helped him to his feet. "On your feet, Sam."
He saw Frodo who had wandered far from the company and called to him.
"GET YO HOBBIT BUT BACK HERE!" Becky yelled loudly, causing everyone to jump and Frodo to turn.
A single tear ran down the Hobbit's face.
"POOR BABY!" Becky yelled and ran after him, enveloping him in a hug. "POOR THING!"
Missy ran after her and joined the hug.
"Come on," Aragorn called to the rest of the Fellowship. "We must hurry."
