Disclaimer: J.R.R. Rowling and J.K. Tolkien own their own plots,
characters, and books which is good because if I owned them, I'd get mixed
up all the time.
A/N: While talking with a friend of mine, I suddenly got this idea of Legolas leading a house-elf rebellion and knew I had to write about it. Later on I came up with the other ideas. I'm sure many other people have done this same sort of plot, but if you know anyone who published something exactly like this, tell me and I'll apologize.
Worse Than a Torture Device
As the Uruk-hai marched them up the stone staircase toward Saruman's tower, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli had plenty of time to reflect on their fate. After a while Aragorn found this didn't help, so he counted steps instead.
"Twenty-two thousand, five hundred seventeen," he muttered under his breath as they entered what he fervently hoped was the home stretch. Apparently it was, for next thing the intrepid trio was shoved into the tower room.
"So," Saruman said, rising and stepping toward them. He cracked his knuckles evilly, then seemed compelled to repeat his earlier observation. "So," he continued, stopping directly in front of the three and giving them the patented Saruman Evil Eye.
Aragorn didn't flinch at this, perhaps because he didn't get the full impact of the look through the lank, stringy hair falling over his face. "We're not going to beg for mercy, Saruman," he said bravely.
"We aren't?" Legolas wondered. Aragorn elbowed him and he fell silent.
"Kill us now and get it over with," Aragorn challenged, throwing out his chest and wishing Arwen was there to see him being so courageous and manly.
Saruman shook his head slowly and sadistically, enjoying the expressions of terrified anticipation on his prisoners' faces. "No, death's too good for you boys," he said, savoring every word. Then he turned toward the Uruk- hai. "Prepare the time portal!"
"What's this time portal, a torture device?" Legolas asked skeptically. The others followed his gaze to the other side of the room, where two orcs were pushing what appeared to be an ordinary, freestanding doorway toward them.
Saruman threw back his head and laughed the most evil laugh they had ever heard. "Worse than a torture device, my elf friend. You see, I have enlisted the aid of powerful dark magic to create a gateway to another fantasy series." Confusion registered on the faces of the trio, so he elaborated, "A *modern* fantasy series."
Gimli gasped in horror. "That is worse than a torture device!" he cried, averting his face from the dreaded time portal.
"Okay, now we're begging," Aragorn said desperately, fighting to get away as he was dragged toward it. "Pleeeeeeeaaase kill us now?" This impassioned plea had no effect on the hard-hearted Saruman, who only laughed more loudly and gestured the orcs to throw them in. This they did eagerly.
Plunging through the doorway, Legolas had the impression of a tunnel spiraling past him. [Hey, this is like the cheesy effects in one of those time-travel movies. Wait...what's a movie?]
Before Legolas could answer this burning question, something rushed up from below to meet him and knocked him unconscious.
A/N: Hi, that was somewhat stupid. The whole time portal thing...But it was the only way I could think of to get them to Hogwarts. The reason this is posted in the Harry Potter section instead of Crossovers is because I can't access the Crossovers part, so I'm not sure whether everyone else can or not. PLEEEEEAASE review and tell me whether you can get onto Crossovers so I can tell whether the problem is with the site or my computer. Also tell me if you know how to get italic and bold lettering to show up. Thanks! Hopefully Coming Soon: Chapter Two.
