The small army of the combined forces of Rohan, Gondor and Rangers of the north moved silently. They all knew this was the moment in which the fate of middle earth would be decided.
Gondorians and the Rohirrim had the same fear of facing an enemy that outnumbered greatly, but still they had hope in their eyes. The long lost king of Gondor had returned and he inspired them. He had earned their respect in many battles when all seemed lost and yet victory has been achieved and they trusted him he would lead them to victory again.
The fact that the king had so many mighty friends and allies only increased their hope.
Aragorn rode in first line right in the center, at his left side rode Eomer of Rohan and to his left the white wizard. The three elves rode close to the wizard, with gimli behind Legolas, while Merry was In Eomer's horse and Pippin in Gandalf's. Theodred was at his cousin's side. The captains of Gondor and Rohan were right behind them
Once the black gate of mordor appeared, Once the army stopped and assembled into position, Aragorn rode towards the gate accompanied only by his friends.
As they stood in front of it Aragorn exclaimed with great authority "Let the Lord of the Black Land come forth!" he shouts "Let justice be done upon him!" A moment passes and the gates opens a little, out of it comes a rider dressed all in black, he is Sauron's Lieutenant and approaches the small group "My master Sauron the Great bids thee welcome" he says with mockery. They all look at him with disgust for he is horrific to look at "Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me" he continues and Gandalf answers with anger "We do not come to treat with Sauron, faithless and accursed. Tell your master this. The armies of Mordor must disband. He is to depart these lands, never to return."
The "creature" stares at him and says "Aha! Old Greybeard! I have a token I was bidden to show thee" then he holds up a Mithril shirt that the members of the fellowship recognize immediately. Those who hadn't met Frodo look at them with worry when they see their expression.
The mouth of Sauron notices their reaction and throws the shirt at Gandalf, Pippin simply whispers "Frodo" Gandalf commands "Silences" and looks at the mouth of sauron as he says "The Halfling was dear to thee I see. Know that he suffered greatly at the hands of his host. Who would've thought one so small could endure so much pain? And he did Gandalf, he did."
Finduilas feels her noldorin blood runs hot with anger as she grabs her sword but Luthien grabs her hand. Tears begin to show in Gandalf's eyes
Just then Aragorn moves ahead towards the disgusting figure. He looks at the king in mockery and asks "And who is this? Isildur's heir? It takes more to make a King than a broken Elvish blade." But says no more as Aragorn sweeps out his sword and beheads the mouth of Sauron in one movement.
"I guess that concludes negotiations" Gimli says.
Aragorn approaches Gandalf and says to his friend with a little despair "I do not believe it. I will not"
Just then the door finally begins to open and they see all the hosts of Mordor are advancing towards them. This army is even bigger than the one that fought in the fields of pelennor and they all know this "Pull back! Pull back!" Aragorn commands and they ride back to the now terrified army. There is fear in the eyes of the soldiers and thy look as if they are about to turn back and run.
Noticing this, Aragorn exclaims "Hold your ground! Hold your ground" Then he rides across all the first line and addresses his troops "Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers. I see it in your eyes, the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!" Now the men look encouraged by his speech and Aragorn continues "By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West" The soldiers all unsheathe their weapons and stand ready. Aragorn wheels around on his horse to face the oncoming enemy.
As the army approaches, they all have dismounted their horses and are now waiting patiently looking as the army is being surrounded. Even if apparently there is no possible way to achieve victory none of them look frightened. Gimli stares at the three elves and says "Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with the elves" His three friends look down at him smiling and Legolas answers "What about side by side with your friends?" Gimli looks up at them and answers "Aye! I could do that." Luthien reached out and put a comforting hand in his shoulder.
A moment passes and suddenly Aragorn moves ahead with a strange look on his face, all his friends look at him with worry. Aragorn's sword arm drops to his side. He turns and looks at Gandalf, who holds up Frodo's mithril shirt for him to see. Aragorn smiles in recognition and whispers "For Frodo"
Then he surprises them all as He raises his sword and runs forward towards the Orc army with a cry. Pippin and Merry shout and run after him, their swords raised. Inflamed by this display of courage,the rest of the army starts to run towards the Orcs with their battlers cries. They quickly overtake the Hobbits. Aragorn reaches the Orcs and smashes into them slashing with his sword. The two armies collide in a fierce battle.
Time passes and surprisingly the small army is holding on its own.
There is a scream from the Ring wraiths that are flying towards the battle. Gandalf stops to look up at one who is closing in on him. Gandalf sees a moth flitting around him and looks up again to see a huge eagle intercept the fell beast and drag it off. Pippin screams "The eagles! The eagles are coming" as he sees how the mighty eagles engage in the air with the fell beasts.
Times passes and even if each soldier has killed at least four or five orcs, it's obvious that they won't be able to resist for much longer. Even the elves are beginning to feel the tiredness of the battle but still they fight bravely showing men and orcs their well deserved reputation of great warriors.
Finduilas and Luthien fight side by side and orcs try to avoid them. Their concentration is broken as they heard Legolas screaming "Aragorn" they look to where Legolas is staring at and see Aragorn laying in the ground trying to get up and a huge Troll advancing towards him "Aragorn" Luthien screams and tries to fallow Legolas with Finduilas close behind her. Their despair grows as they see the troll traps Aragorn under his foot and raises his sword. Suddenly, when all seemed lost, The troll raised his foot and stares away towards the tower of Barad Dûr before running away. The elves can now feel a change in the air, something important has happened. Still they hurry to reach Aragorn's side to see if he is okay.
Aragorn stands up just as his three friends reach his side and they all turn to look towards the eye, which is screeching and groaning with a terrible sound, with wonder and not paying attention to the now retreating army of Mordor.
Just then the tower of Barad Dûr begins to collapse. Gandalf has tears in his eyes while Aragorn stares with a mixture of relief, incredulity and Happiness on his face. They watch as the tower collapses to the ground. The Eye of Sauron explodes sending a huge shockwave outwards.
"FRODO" Merry shouts raising his sword as he repeats his friend's name with emotion
The Black gate begins to collapse. Orcs try to run away, but the ground below them gives way. They are all destroyed.
However the effect of Saron's defeat is so destructive that an eruption in Mount doom takes them all by surprise. Merry stops shouting and looks now shocked and frightened while all his friends are now looking with concern at it and Pippin begins to cry openly. A single tear comes out of Gandalf's eye but then he remembers "The eagles"
