Chapter Thirty-four: The Battle of Pelennor Fields

The horns of Rohan sounded as the Riders of Rohan rode up to Pelennor Fields. They had arrived to help. All the Orcs turned to them as Theoden lead them to the top of a hill. Once stopped, Theoden began a speech as he rode along in front of the lines. But first he gave instructions to the army.

Then as he began to ride Snowmane in front of the army, he spoke, "Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden!"

Theoden then stopped right in front of Eowyn, who hid her face while whispering, "Please don't look this way, please don't see me!"

Then he rides again, calling, "Spears shall be shaken! Shields shall be splintered! A sword day! A red day! Ere the sun rises!"

The Riders of Rohan pull out and ready their spears as do the Orcs on the field who have formed ranks.

"Ride now! Ride now! Ride! Ride for ruin, and the world's ending! Death!" cries Theoden as he clangs his sword against many spears.

"Death!" chants the Riders of Rohan, Merry, and Eowyn along with Theoden.

"Forth, Eorlingas! Go and kill yourself now for none of us shall survive!" cries Theoden.

"So cheerful," says Merry.

"Just go along with it!" hisses Eowyn. "Death!"

Horns sound as the many Riders charge against the Orcs who are raising their bows and begin to fire arrows at the Riders. Several are struck down and die. The rest continue on. Merry continues crying "Death!" for no apparent reason. Then with a clash of swords, spears and shields, the Riders hit the Orcs, who look scared as the rush hits them. Fighting ensues, then the Mumakil arrive.

"Re-form the lines!" cries Theoden. "Re-form the lines! Meet them head on and die!"

The Mumakil proceed to squash horses and Riders and the Mumakil riders shoot down many more that aren't squashed. Eowyn then directs Merry to take their horse right under one and brings it down. Then they fall off their horse and land on the ground. Merry disappears, which shows common sense. Eowyn is left alone.

Finally a fell beast comes and knocks Theoden and Snowmane over. The Witch-king calls, "Feast on his flesh!"

Then Eowyn appears and says, "No touchie my uncle! I will kill you now!"

"Do not come between a Nazgul and it's prey!"

A whole battle begins to ensue between Eowyn and the Witch-king.

Meanwhile, back at the water, a fleet of ships sail in and an Orc says, "Late as usual, pirate sum! There's knife work here that needs doing. Come on, ya sea rats! Get off your ships!"

Aragorn, followed by Tess, Emily, Legolas, and Gimli hop off one of the ships. Aragorn and Tess bless their swords while Gimli and Legolas argue over who will have the best count at the end of the battle. Emily calls "Moo!" several times as Tess rolls her eyes.

Then, followed by the green glowing Dead, Aragorn and Tess stride quickly into battle and with a cry, attack the Orcs. Legolas and Gimli follow them and Emily even joins in the fight with her flamethrower. This battle was the first time that Tess and Aragorn had fought side by side as father and daughter. They fought viciously, side-by-side and kept an eye on the others who were fighting just as hard as they were.

A Mumakil came and Aragorn spotted it, calling out, "Legolas!" Legolas snapped to attention and chased it.

"What a show-off!" yelled Tess to Aragorn as Legolas climbed up the Mumakil, killing anyone in his way.

"I know Tess, he's often like that. As a matter of fact, this will only boast his ego!" added Aragorn.

Tess groaned. "Which is the very last thing he needs!"

"Yep," sighed Aragorn.

Legolas slid down then Mumakil's trunk as it crashed to the ground, checking his hair along the way.

"Give it up laddie! It's only a wig and this kill still only counts as one!" growled Gimli as he watched.

"Shut up dwarf, before I kill you!" cried Legolas as he chased Gimli with his bow drawn. "And for your information it's not a wig!"

"Yes it is!" called Gimli as he ran from the angered Elf.

"WIG WEARER!" coughed Tess.

"What did you say?" questioned Legolas as he came to a halt and lowered his bow, glaring at Tess.

"Nothing?" chuckled Tess weakly.

"Did you just call me a wig wearer?"

"Maybe?"

"ARR!!!!!" he cried as he began to fire arrows at Tess who ran and hid behind Aragorn, who looked amused.

"Legolas! Stop it! Save it for the Orcs! You may be my friend but that doesn't mean you can kill my daughter!" called Aragorn, laughing.

"Take that, wig wearer!" said Tess, sticking her tongue out at Legolas who raised his bow again at her.

"If I were you, I'd run now," whispered Aragorn to Tess.

"Yea, I think I will ada!" cried Tess as she ran off, Legolas not too far behind and screaming at her.

Insults went back and forth between the Elf and half-Elf. Gimli also joined in, clearly enjoying the chance to torment Legolas. Aragorn shook his head at the bickering three and sighed. Apparently some kids never grow up. Then he went to release the Dead, who were staring at him.

"Will you release us now? We did what you asked and you said you would release us! Now do so!" commanded the King of the Dead.

"I release you. Now go, and be at peace!" said Aragorn as the King smiled and all the Dead disappeared in a gust of wind.

Aragorn turned back to face his daughter and his friends. Tess was standing beside Legolas, with her sword at his throat. "Do you give up yet, wig wearer?" she asked.

"I surrender," said Legolas with a sigh, defeated.

"Good!" cried Tess as she sheathed her sword and went to join Aragorn in walking to Minas Tirith.

"Are you ready to see Minas Tirith?" Aragorn asked as they walked.

"Yes!"

"Well then, let's go see it!" said Aragorn and he led the way into Minas Tirith and through the levels, heading for the citadel.

Along the way they were stopped by Gandalf, who was, as usual, smoking pot. "Aragorn, we need your help in the Houses of Healing," he said.

"What about the others? What are they going to do?"

"Tess can go with you but I need Legolas and Gimli to come with me to the field. Emily too."

"Fine," relented Aragorn as he led Tess to the Houses of Healing and the others went back to the field.

"This is certainly going to be interesting," remarked Tess.

"I guess I'll have to show you Minas Tirth later."

"There'll be plenty of time for that later. But people need your help now. Besides, it's not like I'm going anywhere."

"That's true… That's very true…"

Author's Notes:

Not as long as intended but I lost my train of thought midway through it. Damn stomach! Oh well, I think it's still pretty good. Next chapter is the Houses of Healing and Tess will meet Mary and Faramir for the first time. And Aragorn will have a little chat with Eowyn and Tess runs off again.

NEXT UPDATE DUE: Monday, October 4th hopefully!
