Chapter 6: Welcome to Rivendell
Noel and Ken exit the light portal and they find themselves in what looks like a space area and they both look around in amazement.
"Whoa! Where are we?" Ken asked.
"I-I think this is a place where other worlds are and when we leave a world, just like what Ry said." Noel said.
"Okay. Then where do we go to now?" Ken asked.
Noel looks around and she sees three different worlds and she chooses which world to go to.
"I think we should go to this one first." Noel said pointing at one of the worlds that has a thick forest and a city.
"Whatever works. Let's go." Ken said.
Noel's Keyblade unleashes a light trail at the selected world and then creates a light portal and Noel and Ken follow the light trail and enter the light portal and enter the first world they're going to.
The light portal appears in what looks like a thick wood forest and Noel and Ken fly out of the light portal before it disappears and the two look around.
"A n-new world. N-Not a single B-Black Xeti or H-Heartless around." Noel said.
"Then I guess we're somewhere else. Let's have a look around since we're in a new place and all." Ken said. "Speaking of which, where the hell are we?" Ken asked.
"I don't know..." Noel said.
Noel and Ken start exploring around the thick wood forest but while exploring the two hear a sound of swords clashing against each other making the two flinch in surprise.
"What the hell was that?" Ken asked.
"I don't know. We should go see..." Noel said.
Noel and Ken follow the sword clashing noise and later on they arrive at a different area and they find a group of men with pointed ears, wearing battle armor, and carrying swords fighting strange creatures carrying large knives.
"Are these Heartless or Black Xetis?" Ken asked taking out his guitar.
"I-I don't think those c-creatures are e-either of them, but the ones with the swords look like they're in trouble and we should help them." Noel said.
"Sounds good to me as long as I get to bash a skull. Let's party!" Ken said.
Both sides are fighting against each other but more creatures arrive and surround them but before the creatures could attack they are pushed back by a sonic wave from Ken's guitar.
"D-Don't worry. W-We'll h-help you." Noel said taking out her Keyblade.
"Our thanks." One of the warriors said as the battalion and the two fight off the mysterious creatures.
The creatures attack with their large knives but Noel attacks with her Keyblade followed by casting her new Fire spell while Ken bashes with his guitar and then shoots multiple magic music notes but the creatures strike back at the two with their knives but Noel attacks with her Keyblade again followed by a swing slash while Ken casts his Fire spell but the creatures keep attacking with their knives to strike at the two but Noel casts Fire at the creatures and then attacks with her Keyblade while Ken unleashes a sound wave and the two defeat the creatures.
A warrior with white hair and pointed ears, wearing silver armor with a silver cape, and carrying a silver curvy blade approaches the two with his battalion.
"Thank you both. Those creatures took us by surprise." The white haired warrior said.
"You're welcome." Noel said.
"What the hell were those damn things?" Ken asked.
"That is quite a vulgar mouth you have, young man." One of the warriors said.
"Problem, pointy ears?" Ken asked.
"K-Ken..." Noel stops talking.
"Very rude of you, young man. Is he always like this, young lady?" The white haired warrior asked.
"Y-You don't have to call me that. My name is N-Noel. This is K-Ken." Noel introduced herself and Ken.
"A pleasure to meet you, Miss Noel. May I ask where you came from?" The white haired man asked.
"Oh, um..." Noel tries to think of an answer where they came from.
"We're both from Merriland, okay? Now, answer my damn question so I won't have to ask again!" Ken said and Noel is nervous thinking the lie wouldn't work.
"I see. Middle-Earth must be larger than expected. My name is Glorfindel." Glorfindel introduced. "To answer your rather rude and vulgar question, Ken, those creatures are Goblins. They must have sprouted from the Misty Mountains, but it cannot be. They've never been so close to Rivendell." Glorfindel explained.
"Glorfindel, scouts have reported that more Goblins are approaching from the South." A warrior said.
"Then the ones from before were a scouting party." Glorfindel said and he turns to Noel and Ken. "Miss Noel, Mister Ken, I could use your help. We must go to the House of Elrond and inform Lord Elrond the approaching Goblins." Glorfindel said.
"O-Okay. We'll help you." Noel said.
"Whatever." Ken said.
"Our thanks. Follow me, everyone." Glorfindel said as he leads the warriors, Noel, and Ken through the forest.
After going through the forest Noel, Ken, and Glorfindel along with the warriors arrive near a large bridge that had the gate to Rivendell on the far side and there they see many guards fighting against the Goblins.
"We have come to help!" Glorfindel said as he and his battalion attack the Goblins.
"Your timing is unmatched, Glorfindel!" One of the guards said while fighting a Goblin.
"Time to kick some butt!" Ken said taking out his guitar.
"L-Let's do our best." Noel said.
Noel attacks the Goblins with her Keyblade followed by a spin slash while Ken shoots magic music notes and then casts Fire while the warriors plow through the Goblins but the Goblins try to try to swarm them from all directions but Glorfindel uses his power to strengthen himself and fights off the swarm while Noel triple slashes with her Keyblade and then delivers an edge slash while Ken bashes with his guitar and then shoots three magic music notes but the Goblins swarm them again but Glorfindel slashes with his sword while Noel double slashes with her Keyblade and casts Fire while Ken also casts Fire and shoots three magic music notes and all the Goblins are defeated.
Noel, Ken, and Glorfindel head to the opening gates and enter a large wide open city with beautiful waterfalls.
"Welcome to Rivendell, my friends." Glorfindel said.
"Holy crap!" Ken said in awe.
"It's...so...beautiful." Noel said also in awe.
"Yes. This place has long been a sanctuary for our people, the Elves." Glorfindel said.
"W-Wait, you're e-elves?" Noel asked.
"Indeed. Our people are immortal, wisest, and fairest of all beings in Middle-Earth. There will be time for that later." Glorfindel explained as they approach a large house.
They enter the house and they see a raven haired man wearing a long red robe and a small bald man with an orange beard wearing steel armor and carrying a large hammer.
"Glorfindel, what brings you back so soon?" The small man asked.
"Gloin, Lord Elrond, the Goblins have come down from the Misty Mountain. They're approaching from the south." Glorfindel explained.
"I see...I sensed this day was coming. Long has Rivendell been safe from servants of the darkness. It's sanctity must not be lost!" Elrond said.
"Goblins?! I'll take care of those filthy retches!" Golin declared as he rushes out of the house.
"And who are those two?" Elrond asked looking at Noel and Ken.
"Oh, I'm N-Noel, s-sir." Noel introduced weakly while bowing.
"Name's Ken." Ken introduced nonchalantly.
"Show some respect, boy. This is our lord you're talking to." Glorfindel said.
"That is quite all right, Glorfindel." Elrond said.
"Very well then. These two helped me and my men return here unharmed, my lord. They both are quite skilled with power I have never seen in my immortal life." Glorfindel explained.
"W-We're really th-that g-good?" Noel asked.
"You two don't seem to be from here...I've lived for 15,000 years and not once have I encountered any of you." Elrond said.
"We're from Merriland." Ken said.
"There is no Merriland in Middle-Earth, boy." Elrond said.
"Crap...!" Ken mumbled.
"Uh-oh..." Noel said nervously.
"Wait?! There is no Merriland?! You lied to me?!" Glorfindel asked shocked.
"We-Well..." Noel doesn't know what to say.
"Calm down, Glorfindel. When this is all over, would you like to tell me where you two are really from?" Elrond asked as he takes off his robe and reveals his battle ready armor. "Come. The Goblins draw near Rivendell." Elrond said.
Later on Noel and Ken arrive at the west area of Rivendell where many Elvin warriors stand ready for battle.
"The Goblins are close!" An Elvin scout said and they see Goblin armies approaching.
"Ha-ha! I can already feel them being crushed by my hammer!" Gloin said gleefully.
"I can't tell if he's a sadist or just plain crazy." Ken said.
"We must stand as one, Elves!" Glorfindel said readying his sword.
"Elves, ATTACK!" Elrond shouted as the he, Glorfindel, Gloin, and the Elves charge into battle and Noel and Ken join in the fray.
The Goblins attack the Elves but Gloin swings his hammer to send the Goblins flying while Glorfindel and Elrond combine their attacks into a deadly combo and kill some Goblins but the Goblins attacks the Elves with their knives but Noel slashes some with her Keyblade followed by casting Fire while Ken bashes with his guitar and then shoots five magic music notes at the Goblins but more Goblins appear and swarm and strike with their knives but Noel slashes with her Keyblade and then delivers an edge slash while Ken bashes with his guitar and shoots three magic music notes with two huge monsters and they are carrying large boulders and they throw the boulders at the Elves, Noel, and Ken who dodge out of the way.
"What the hell are THEY?!" Ken asked.
"By Galadriel...Trolls!" An Elvin warrior yelled.
"T-Trolls?" Noel asked.
"Stay strong, Elves! Rivendell will not fall to the likes of evil monsters!" Elrond said as he uses his Elvin powers to create a tornado to suck up the Goblins and the medium sized Trolls but a giant Troll stays where it is and is now ticked.
The giant Troll starts rampaging through the Elvin army and then grabs Noel and grabs her.
"Gah!" Noel screamed as she's being crushed by the giant Troll.
"Crap...!" Ken said as he charges at the giant Troll to strike with his guitar but it delivers a giant swing at Ken knocking him back.
"Elves! We must save our ally!" Glorfindel shouted as he and the Elves charge at the giant Troll who kicks them all away and then starts crushing Noel.
As the giant Troll continues to crush Noel something strikes at the giant Troll in its chest with great force making it drop Noel to the ground but Glorfindel catches her and he sees what look like two figures striking at the giant Troll and then one of them shoots an egg at the giant Troll knocking it out on the ground and then the two figures deliver a powerful dive slam at the giant Troll's head ending it and the Elves cheer for victory.
"Well done, Elves." Elrond said and just then he sees a raven haired woman riding on a white horse arrives and is followed by other Elvin riders. "Arwin, you have returned." Elrond said calling the woman Arwin.
"We have returned with the Lancers, Father." The woman named Arwin said.
"Well, it's about time." Gloin said to both Arwin and the two figures.
"Sorry we were late." One of the figures said and it's a male brown furred bear wearing yellow shorts and a blue backpack on his back and then something pops out of the bear's backpack and it's a female red feathered bird.
"Don't even think about finishing the fun without us, dwarf boy. You should be thankful we're here." The red feathered bird said.
"Why you...!" Gloin growled but Glorfindel holds him back.
"Don't, Gloin." Glorfindel said.
Noel gets back up from the ground and she looks around.
"Is the fight over?" Noel asked.
"Yeah. The loser Goblins are outta the picture." Ken said and he sees the bear and the bird. "And those two showed up at the last minute to help out." Ken added.
"Lord Elrond, we've taken care of the Goblin camp to the west of here." The bear informed.
"But there are more of those bozos making camp across the river." The female red bird said.
"I see..." Elrond said.
"U-Um...I'm sorry to interrupt, but thank you for saving me..." Noel said.
"Oh, you're welcome. I'm glad you're okay." The bear said.
"I didn't think two could talk..." Noel said.
"What? You've never seen a talking bear and a talking bird before?" The female bird asked.
"Be nice, Kazooie." The bear said.
"I'm guessing you'll help with the Goblin issue?" Noel asked.
"You bet!" The bear said.
"Wh-Who are you two anyway?" Noel asked.
"I'm Banjo and this is my friend, Kazooie." Banjo introduced himself and the bird named Kazooie.
"Who're you supposed to be?" Kazooie asked.
"I'm N-Noel." Noel introduced herself. "And this is Ken." Noel introduced Ken.
"'Sup?" Ken said.
"It's nice to meet you two." Banjo said.
"All right, everyone. Enough with talking, we must ride and clear the valley of the Goblin filth! Have the gates of Rivendell opened!" Elrond commanded and the gates open allowing the Elvin army to march into the Goblin camp.
Later on the Elvin army arrive at across the river and arrive at the Goblin's campsite.
"Here we are, Elves! Let us rid this valley of those Goblin vermin!" Elrond said and the Elves chant in response and charge at the Goblin's campsite and Noel, Ken, and Banjo and Kazooie follow suit and they prepare to fight the Goblins who are noticing the Elves about to attack their camp and so the Goblins prepare for battle and attack the Elves.
The Goblins attack the Elves who are also attacking back at the Goblins but the Goblins attack with their knives but Noel slashes at the Goblins with her Keyblade followed by a spin slash while Ken bashes with his guitar and then casts Fire but the Goblins slash with their knives but Banjo has Kazooie triple peck at the Goblins but more Goblins arrive at the campsite and attack but Glorfindel slashes with his sword at the Goblins and Elrond does the same but the Goblins swarm at the Elvin army but Noel triple slashes with her Keyblade and then delivers a side swing slash while Ken shoots magic music notes while Banjo and Kazooie roll around at the Goblins but the Goblins continue to swarm at the Elves and slashes at them with their knives but Glorfindel strikes at the Goblins with his sword and Elrond also slashes with his sword while Noel down slashes with her Keyblade and then delivers a stab and then swings her Keyblade and strikes the Goblins while Ken casts Fire while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs and everyone defeats the Goblins and the Elvin army have completely destroyed the Goblin's campsite.
"I think that's it. No more Goblins." Banjo said.
Just then the ground starts to shake.
"Now what the hell's happenin'?!" Ken asked.
Just then a giant black worm with what looks like a crimson spiked crescent on its body rises from the ground.
"I-It's a giant worm!" Noel said taking out her Keyblade.
"Are you freakin' kiddin' me?!" Ken asked.
"Let's get rid of this thing." Kazooie said.
Banjo and Kazooie strike at the worm by rolling at it and knocks it back but it bounces back and shoots fire out of its mouth at the Elvin army who scatters but Noel slashes at the worm with her Keyblade while Ken bashes at its head with his guitar and then casts Fire while Banjo has Kazooie triple peck at the worm's head while Gloin smacks at the worm with his hammer while Glorfindel, Elrond, and Arwin slash at the worm's body with their swords but the worm digs itself underground and moves its way to them and then it rises up while breathing fire but Noel slashes at the worm while Arwin uses the power of the river to summons water made horse spirits to strike at the worm causing it to be confused.
"Now! Focus your attacks!" Elrond yelled as he, Awrin, Glorfindel, and the Elvin warriors all strike at the worm with full force.
Noel and Ken both cast a combined Fire spell at the worm while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs at the worm's head and Noel delivers a final strike at the worm making it plunge back into the ground and the Elves cheer for victory.
"Valor and honor have taken this day!" Elrond said.
"We sure taught those bastards a lesson not to mess with us!" Ken said.
Everyone makes their way back to Rivendell but as they return to the city they see parts of the city under attack and they see creatures which are black phantoms and shadows attacking the city.
"What are these?" Glorfindel asked taking out his sword.
"I-I think those are th Black Xetis and those are Heartless." Noel said taking out her Keyblade.
"They probably showed up while we were out beating the crap outta the Goblins." Ken said.
"Elves! Do not let these foul monsters destroy our beloved city! Leave none remaining!" Elrond yelled and the Elvin army attack the Black Xetis and the Heartless and Noel, Ken, and Banjo and Kazooie attack the Black Xetis and the Heartless as well.
The Phantom Black Xetis attack with their chains while the Shadow Heartless attack with their claws but Noel slashes at both the Black Xetis and the Heartless and then casts Fire in them both but the Phantom Black Xetis shoot black beams at Noel who dodges and Ken shoots magic music notes but the Shadow Heartless sink into the ground and rise behind Ken and attack with their claws but Banjo and Kazooie roll at the Shadow Heartless but the Phantom Black Xetis strike with their chains but Glorfindel slashes with his sword while Elrond also slashes with his sword but the Shadow Heartless attack with their claws but Noel slashes at the Shadow Heartless with her Keyblade while Ken bashes with his guitar but the Phantom Black Xetis shoots black beams but Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs at the Phantoms while Glorfindel uses his Elvin power to strengthen himself and delivers a powerful strike at the Black Xetis but the Phantom Black Xetis strike with their chains while Shadow Heartless sink into the ground and then rise up and attack with their claws but Noel triple slashes with her Keyblade and then delivers a swing and everyone defeats the Black Xetis and the Heartless.
"That should be the last of them." Noel said.
"Yeah. NOW they showed up to screw up crap." Ken said.
"What to do, my lord?" Glorfindel asked.
"Because of the siege from the Goblins of the Misty Mountains, Rivendell is no longer safe for the Elves and those creatures we just faced will make things worse. We must unite the Elves and Dwarfs of the north against the Goblin armies and the evil creatures. Glorfindel, you will join forces with Gloin to make war on the Goblins." Elrond said and he turns to Noel, Ken, and Banjo and Kazooie. "We could use your help as well. Will you do this?" Elrond asked.
"Yes. We'll do everything we can to help you protect your home." Noel said.
"Then it is settled. I wish you all the best of luck. See to that you find the evil to its source and put an end to it." Elrond said.
"Elves, we shall depart soon. Prepare for the journey." Glorfindel said and the Elves chant in response.
"We should prepare ourselves too. We won't know when the other Black Xetis and the Heartless will appear at any time." Noel said.
"Don't worry. We'll be able to take care of what's causing this city grief." Banjo said.
"Let's go prepare." Noel said and they start to get ready for their journey from Rivendell to protect it.
