CHAPTER III
THE GONDORIAN RESCUE

Aragorn led the men from his battle ship, the Ringbearer, to attack the Orcs. Elrond, who had the gift of foresight, to come there since he saw images of Gandalf being attacked, told him. They were able to get there in time due to some advances in technology made by Gandalf. With the combined strength of the elves and the men, the Orcs didn't stand a chance. Legolas, Elvish Prince of the elven realm of Ithílen, a forest in Gondor, was also on the boat. So was Gimli, Dwarf lord of the Dwarven City of Helm's Deep, and Beregond, fellow ranger of Aragorn and Prince of Ithílen. They were all leading the attack with an armada of Gondorian soldiers.

"Legolas!" said Aragorn, "you lead the soldiers! Beregond and I will go to towards the city!" Then they left for the tower. While getting Morgai along way, Aragorn met up with Elrond.

"Aragorn", said Elrond, "Gandalf and Frodo are being attacked in that tower! You must help them!"

"We'll do what we can", said Aragorn as he went up. There were about twenty Orcs blocking their way, and they just started killing them. Then they got in the door and locked it. Then there were Orkish archers on the stairs shooting at them. Aragorn got out his bow and shot as many as he can. While Aragorn was shooting, Beregond went on the stairway. He cut the Orcs with his sword and blocked the arrows with it, too. Once Aragorn was on the stairway, he did the same as Aragorn. One Orc tripped him, and he was hanging on for dear life, since they were on the top floor. Then Beregond killed the Orcs and picked up Aragorn. Then they broke open the door, and they saw Gandalf and Frodo fighting Orcs and Uruk-Hai, and Madwé was sitting on a throne laughing. The Sleeper was fighting whoever came near him, including Frodo and Gandalf. The stepped on the Orcs and threw them across the room, and he threw a dozen Uruk-Hai out the widow. Aragorn and Beregond helped Gandalf and Frodo. Then a massive Uruk-Hai came up to Aragorn.

"I am Tejmin", said the Morgai-Kai, "leader of the Morgai Kai, I will destroy you". Then Aragorn drew his sword and slashed at Tejmin. Tejmin then quickly drew his sword and blocked Aragorn's blows. Aragorn kept slashing at Tejmin with no effect, until he drew a dagger and threw it at Tejmin. When Tejmin tried to block the dagger, Aragorn took the advantage and decapitated Tejmin. Then he saw that they were being pushed into the water "Retreat! Retreat! Elrond, "Gandalf and Frodo are trapped in the Tower of Pearls with a legion of Orcs! You! Retreat!' Then the Orcs and Uruk-Hai sped away as fast as they could in their boats (their boats were unusually fast). Then Madwé laughed.

"Fools", said Madwé, "you won the battle, but the war has just begun!"

"Well", said Gandalf, "who's the fool who got hired by an idiot." Then Madwé got up his stick and threw Gandalf across the room. Then Gandalf threw him across the room. Then they started throwing each other. They slammed each other on the floor, spun each other around, and threw them up and down. Then Madwé had some sort of magic lightning coming out of his hand.

"Gandalf", said Madwé, "you are on the wrong side. You are powerless, and you can't win this war. You're friends aren't even helping. Join me, and we will rule Middle Earth and the Undying Lands as Master and apprentice!"

"There will be only one Lord of the Earth, and he will not be you!" Then Gandalf broke his spell and threw him across the room. "I am Mithraldir, wielder of the flame Anor. You will not rule the world, and neither will you master! I am the master! I will defeat you!" Then Gandalf did repeat the same spell that Madwé did on the Sleeper, and his attempt was effective.

"What do you want, my master?" asked the Sleeper.

"Kill that man over there", said Gandalf while he was pointing to Madwé. He then grabbed Madwé and threw him out the window. Legolas, Gimli, Elrond, and Galadriel ran in to check up on Aragorn.

"It has happened", said Elrond, "Morgoth has returned and he is continuing the work that his apprentice, Sauron, accomplished."

"Remember that Sauron said that he will awaken Morgoth?", said
Legolas.

"Legolas speaks of the truth", said Galadriel. "Right after
Sauron and all the evil of Middle Earth died, Sauron opened the gate
of the Void and perished. It has taken twelve years for Morgoth to set
up his army. He has taken physical form, as a Nazgúl. He seeks the
armor of Sauron. If Morgoth dies and so does all his evil, evil will
forever be gone. No one thought the Void would be open. The Valar did
it the easy way. We must finish their work." Then Galadriel went up to
the Sleeper. "Oh mighty one, give me the Twilight Pool!" Then the
Sleeper opened one of his closets, and in it was a birdbath-sized
pool. There were eight stones in it. "There are eight stones in it.
That is the danger level on this earth. Once it gets thirty, all hope
is lost for Middle Earth. For we need another Fellowship to destroy
him. You must find the Titans, a lost race of men who are rumored to
live in the Undying Lands, and get their Spirit crusher, a weapon that
will destroy Morgoth's spirit. And if Morgoth's spirit dies, every
evil spirit in Middle Earth will parish."

"I will help destroy him", said Beregond.

"Me too", said Legolas.

"I give my full allegiance", said Aragorn.

"It must be done", said Gandalf, "so I will go".

"I will go", said Frodo, "and I will carry the Silmarils. Although I would be better off with Sam, Merry and Pippin."

"And you will go with them", said Galadriel, "for we must find them. I know a Beoring, a shape-shifter. Jerimoia, come." Then, half an hour later, a man that looked half-Orc came."

"What is to be assigned of me, mistress?", said Jerimoia.

"You must take this Hobbit to Hobbiton, for he needs his friends", said Galadirel.

"I'll be there", said Jerimoia, then he changed into a hobbit. "Come along, Frodo."

"Frodo", said Gandalf, "Be careful, for there is much danger out there at times like these."

"I will be", said Frodo, and they left out for Hobbiton.
