Author's Note: Hello, everyone and welcome to the two towers! Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last one, your reviews made the story keep on going. This chapter is also dedicated to my friend Emma, who helped proof read and help correct my spelling. So, enjoy everyone and please review. :D
Uther sat in his regal chair with his head bowed looking sad but in a noble king like fashion with light of the setting sun shining behind his dark throne. His son had been gone for over two months and he was afraid Arthur would never come back. Curse those lunatics who had taken Arthur! What was he to do now; there was no heir to the throne. He had sent everyone he could spare to search for him but to no avail. He put his head in his hands but then jumped as the giant epic door to the throne room opened to reveal the fabulous Sir Leon.
" Sire" Leon said in his most knightly voice.
"What is it Sir Leon? Is there any progress in the search?"
"No, Sire but a message was found in the outlying villages." He said.
"The outlying villages?" Uther said disbelieving, because nothing interesting ever happened out in the outlying villages.
"Yes, Sire." Leon handed the King of Camelot the white envelope.
Uther recognized it from the first letter he received from when Arthur was first taken. He quickly took it from Sir Leon. Was it a ransom price for Arthur? He tore the red seal off and began to read.
Dear Mr. King Uther Pendragon,
Were terribly sorry about the long amount of time dear old Arthur and his adorable servant Merlin have been gone. We were planning to get them back to you as were only pulling a prank on our fellow time Ordinance, as are previous letter states. However there was a slight problem with bringing them back as somehow they've been caught in the time stream of temporal events along with the " fangirl" we sent with them and will shortly be permanently stuck in Middle-Earth. Not to worry! We shall fix this and send another "fangirl" to counter balance the events changed. You'll get your son back along with his manservant in about 3 more months.
Sincerely, the members of the section B; UGA ALPHA 9964.
Uther felt his anger rising and he crumpled the letter into a ball. "AHHHHHHHHH!"
"AAAAANNNND its gonna be another beautiful day in the sunshine state with temperatures hanging around 67 degrees. It'll also be a wonderful day to get shopping done with sales all over. Isn't that right, Bill?" came the voice of an exuberant American from a crackling speaker.
"Most definitely, don't forget to head on over to the Falls shopping mall and check out those sales. Also, don't miss the two new stores opening up: Flip Flop Shoes and Treats."
"Alright, So now lets put on a song because it's going to be another great December day in Florida!"
The sun blazed down on the black tarmac of a highway, which a silver dodge neon then whizzed over. The sun glinted on the hood and two teenagers were chatting inside the steely awesome car. The girl was at the wheel with sunglasses on and the boy was slumped against the seat, deep in thought.
"What about jewelry. A gold Necklace, I've no idea what she wants." the boy said in defeat.
"Oliver, How on earth are we going to afford a gold necklaces for her. It's not practical and we don't have the money between us." The girl said as she turned off the highway.
"I know, but what else is there." he said randomly looking at the buttons on the door.
"How about some candles? She likes those, you know, the tropical scented kind."
"Alright, that'll work Emma."
"Come on, cheer up Oliver, we'll get the best presents for everyone." Emma said sure.
The silver car pulled into a parking lot with a giant sign labeled "The Falls"
"Hey look at that! Barnes and Noble is actually giving away books!" Oliver exclaimed happily.
"No, its another one of those buy 4 get one free things." Emma sighed.
"Still, We should probably check back later, might be fun." Oliver said, trying to convince his sister to take him to the bookstore so he could buy the new Tsubasa comic.
"Actually, why don't you head on over to Bed Bath and Beyond to grab those candles. I'll look in here for a present for Dad."
Oliver sighed but obeyed, he would probably get it for Christmas anyways.
"We'll meet back here, don't go wander off and get lost." Emma then turned and went into the ginormous bookstore. She had a cunning plan, while her brother went off to get her sisters gift, she could get his. Double gift score!
She pushed the door open and smiled as she entered the store full of paperbacks and hard backs and other types of bound reading materials. Right, what to get him? Hmmm...
She looked around at the new releases for inspiration. Vampire novels, some strange thing about the environment, Obama's biography, and...
Emma frowned a bit. "The Mystery of the Sarah Jones Kidnapping: The things the government didn't want to tell you." It had happened several months ago but Emma felt sad for the loss of her friend she had met at camp in the summer. She was a nice kid from Georgia; well apparently she was raised in California. She remembered her crazy friend insistently telling her that she didn't have a southern twang.
"None! None at all! I have a general American accent!"
"Alright! I believe you." Emma laughed.
"You should." Sarah smiled.
Well, she would get back to that it was Christmas and she had to find Oliver a present. She walked down into the Sci-Fi Fantasy section, must be something in here. A brand new edition of the Lord of the Rings caught her eye; it was a huge volume containing all the books. Emma loved Tolkien's books, so she slid it off the shelf to have a look at it. Hopefully there'd be some nice illustrations in there. She hoisted it into her arms, it was heavy. Heavier then it looked, was there iron in the covers? She shook her head and opened up to a picture of Frodo and Sam walking through Emyn Muil with their cloaks drawn around them. 'Poor Hobbits' she thought to herself.
BOOM CRACK
Emma jumped nearly out of her skin. What the hell was that? Thunder, funny the forecast never said anything about a storm. She had better go get Oliver before they had to run through the rain to get to the car and driving on the highway wasn't pleasant in storms. She turned back to the book and realized for some reason it was glowing. She stared at it and then at the person next to her.
"Merry Christmas!" They said cheerfully and walked off.
"Um, Merry Christmas." Did he not see the clearly glowing book in her arms? Then the world started to spin and she swayed on the spot.
'What's happening?' She thought to herself. Then the book glowed even more and then a white flash of life burst out of it. Then everything went black.
It was an ordinary epic pan shot of New Zealand Mountains that starts off our story. However this was interrupted by some high pitch yells and then somehow a camera magically floated into a mountain. No one knows, theirs a rumor about some place called weta digital using "Special Effects" to do this.
"The dark fire will not avail you! Flame of Udun!" yelled Gandalf.
Crack!
"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
"Ragh!" said the Balrog but what he really meant was this "You wanna bet?"
Then the old man broke the bridge and the Balrog fell.
"RAHHHHH" which translates to. "Dang it! I hate you old geezer!"
Then he got revenge by using his magical fire whip to pull the old man with him.
"AHHGGGRAGGHH" translation "MUHAHAHA!"
The Balrog and Gandalf then fell down a giant hole into some water.
"GANNNDALLF!" Frodo yelled, clearly being scared of the water. After all hobbits can't swim.
"What is it Mr. Frodo?" Sam said concerned after waking up from a dream about cake.
"Nothing, Just a Dream." Frodo then went back to sleep.
The next day Frodo and Sam were walking in a place with some rocks and then walked to a place with some more rocks and then rested at a place with even more rocks.
Sam, clearly getting tired of the somewhat rocky scenery, decided to comment on the ominous Rocky Mountains where big scary clouds were looming.
"Mordor, the one place in Middle-Earth we don't want to see any closer but the one place were trying to get to and it's just where we can't get." Sam then tightened the strap on his pack of many things.
Lets face it Mr. Frodo, were lost. I don't think Gandalf meant for us to come this way."
"He didn't mean for a lot of things to happen, but they did." Frodo panted and then everything went slow mow and then an uber fast zoom in on Mordor happened.
Frodo saw a big orange eye that scared the crap out of him.
'AHHHH'
"Mr. Frodo" Sam asked, clearly alarmed at Frodo's terrified look.
"Its the ring, isn't it." Sam, being captain exposition stated.
"It's getting heavier." Frodo said, then clutching at his brownish waistcoat. Which was in fact made at Hobbit Clothiers™. He then sat down and took a drink from his middle-earth eco friendly water bottle. Sam shrugged off his 25-pound bag of stuff, as it was extremely heavy.
"What food have we got left." Frodo asked Sam, feeling hungry.
Sam looked again though his bag of many things. "Let me see. Oh yes, lovely: Lembas Bread. And look, more lembas bread." Sam then tossed the magical everlasting Lembas bread to Frodo and the Hobbits started om nomming.
"I don't usually hold foreign food, but this elvish stuff s'not that bad." Sam said, trying to lighten the mood but he was obviously depressed about not being able to have fish and chips for several months.
"Nothing ever dampens your spirits, does it Sam?" Frodo said, not seeing through Sam's food depression.
"Those rain clouds might."
"This looks strangely familiar." Sam said, looking at some more rocks.
Frodo despairing replied. "Cause we've been here before. Were going in circles." As apposed to going around in squares, which is a far worse way to be lost.
Frodo and Sam then walked some more to a place filled with, you guessed it, rocks.
"Ugh, what's that hard stink? What if theirs a nasty bog near by. Can you smell it?"
"Yes, I can smell it. Were not alone."
"Well, we best keep moving." said Sam. Walking forward trying to ignore the very creepy feeling that he and Frodo had a creepy stalker. Frodo grimaced, at Sam's attempt to do so and followed him after a moment.
" Frodo!" Sam exclaimed with his 'I'm very surprised hobbit face' as he turned around a rocky corner.
"What is it Sam?" Frodo said, trying to catch up, which was difficult because he had small hobbit legs.
"It's a girl."
"What? Is this a joke Sam? I know I haven't been myself but there's no need for this."
"No, it really is a girl. She's just lying there. I think she might be hurt. Come on, Frodo!"
Frodo turned around a corner to find Sam kneeling by a girl who wasn't clothed properly for the freezing weather of Emyn Muil. She had a funny blue textured pair of trousers and a shirt with hardly any sleeves. It was then he recognized her, he had seen this girl in Galadriel's mirror.
"She's stone cold." Sam said concerned. He took off his eleven cloak and wrapped it around her.
"What do we do with her?" Frodo asked, still pondering over what he had seen in the mirror, it was definitely her.
"Not much we can do but wait for her to wake up." Sam said as he rummaged through his giant bag for something.
"Where did she come from? How do we know she's not one of the Dark Lord's spies." Frodo voiced his thoughts aloud as he took in the sight of the strange girl who magically appeared on the mountain. Although, if she was in the mirror after seeing images of all his friends, she couldn't be evil. Right?
"Is there a place called Florida in Mordor?" Sam said, still looking through his bag.
"Where?"
"Florida."
"What are you going on about Sam? What is Florida?"
"It's where she's from." Sam said. Showing him a small card of strong material, which wasn't paper but some other strange material.
"Emma Auckland, it says right here and here it says the State of Florida. I reckon that's where she's from."
"Driver's License." Frodo read. "What could that be?"
"I haven't the foggiest but I'm sure we can ask her soon as she wakes up. She doesn't look like an enemy spy and actually she's dressed rather like Sarah was when we found her in Moria."
Frodo nodded, "I suppose." He walked over to sit next to Sam and the unconscious girl.
"I wonder how they got this painting to look so realistic." Sam pondered, still looking at the yellowish drivers license.
"Perhaps Florida is full of great painters" Frodo thought aloud.
"Hmm, maybe." Sam said, getting into his 'I'm thinking Hobbit mode' "We'll have to ask her when she gets up."
Emma groaned, her head was killing her and she slowly tried to sit up.
"Easy, There. Don't get up to fast." that voice sounded familiar, or maybe it was just her head killing her. She pressed the palms of her hands to her eyes. What could have happened to make her head hurt this badly? Did she slip and fall next to The Falls lagoon thing? Was she talking to a paramedic?
"Are you alright?" Came another voice, which sounded very familiar but it couldn't be. Elijah Wood wasn't a paramedic in Florida, was he?" Her eyes snapped open to see the concerned faces of Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee. Emma, in shock just stared.
"Are you alright?" Frodo asked.
"Umm..." What! What! Frodo Baggins? WHAT?
"How did you end up here." Sam asked with his kind hobbity face.
"Well, I..." Emma started but couldn't seem to get out any words. "I was just... in a bookstore."
"A bookstore?" Frodo asked. "Are there any of those near here?"
"No, I don't know how I got here. I was reading and then there was a light."
"Frodo, that's like what happened to Sarah." Sam pointed out. Frodo nodded with his serious hobbit face.
"Are you from America?"
Emma stared at him. 'So this is where Sarah went.'
"You'll never take me alive!"
"Merlin!"
"Arthur"
"Sarah! Get down." Sarah ducked as Arthur swung his sword over her head to ward off a guard in shiny chain mail and Merlin shoved another guard but was pushed back down. Merlin made sure no one was looking before sneakily blasting the guard into the wall. He then hit another one with his stick-staff thingy.
"haha!" Merlin yelled triumphantly.
"Ahhh!" yelled another ticked off bearded guard yelled as Arthur shoved him into a pillar before he cut Merlin's head off.
"Pay attention, Merlin!"
"TAKE THEM OUT!"
"AHHHH!" Sarah yelled as two guards came rushing towards her but for some strange reason they tripped and fell into a heap. She looked over to see Merlin smirking.
"Cheeky wizard." she muttered.
"YOU IDIOTS! RESTRAIN THEM!"
"Shut up you wormy bastard!" Sarah called but was then grabbed by two rohirim guards.
"Lower your weapons or the girl dies." Wormetounge said, in his wormy way.
"No! No! I refuse to be a damsel in distress!" Sarah said angrily. "This is all your fault Arthur!"
"You're the one who led us here!" Arthur yelled back as he dropped his weapon and was grabbed by several guards
"Yes, but you insisted we move faster and we got here to early!"
"Well, you might have checked to see if they were here!"
"How were we supposed to do that, there were giant walls."
"You could have found a way!"
"How?"
"Silence and put down your weapons!" came the loud slimy voice of Grima Wormetounge.
Merlin and Arthur reluctantly put down their stuff used for violent occasions to Sarah's chagrin. Sarah, Merlin, and Arthur were all being held at sword point and held by several dazed Rohirim guards.
"Now, you will tell me what are you doing here and why I shouldn't have you all killed for creating such a disturbance in the court of King Theoden." Grima leered at them as he nearly spat the King of Rohan's name. Theoden merely drooled and looked like he was in hibernation.
"You call that a disturbance. You must have rubbish parties here." Sarah said struggling slightly against her horse loving captors.
"Take them to the dungeon!" Wormetounge ordered. "I will deal with them later." Theoden merely looked dazed as usual.
The guards then hauled them away down some steps, which Sarah had never seen before.
"On the bright side of things..." Sarah started.
"What on earth could be bright about this situation?" Merlin demanded.
"I've never ever seen the Edoras dungeon!"
"Well, you're about to find out." Arthur muttered.
Sarah, Merlin, and Arthur were shoved into a cell with straw. Sarah fell over and Arthur stumbled but recovered and then Merlin fell on top of her.
"Oof!"
"Get off, Merlin!" Sarah said pushing Merlin off of her, she was being squished.
"Shhh!" Arthur interjected, which is a fun nifty descriptive adjective, as he leaned against the cell wall. "I'm thinking."
"Sorry, sorry." Merlin said blushing as he got off of her. Sarah coughed and got up and looked around. There wasn't much to the Rohan dungeon, just some bars and some stone. 'Hm, boring.' she thought to herself, it just looked like every other dungeon did. As Arthur pondered some more and Merlin sat on the ground and stared at the ceiling, Sarah thought about how they got here. They had gotten lost several times and Merlin nearly died about 5 times from various peril but had eventually found the yellow rocky, plain of Rohan and after that Edoras. Sarah assumed, because they had gotten lost so many times that they had arrived after everybody left for helms deep. However, she was wrong and they had gotten here early during Wormetounge's rain of terror. Eh, hopefully bleached Gandalf and the rest would get here soon.
Sarah was broken out of her thoughts as a guard came up to the cell. "Get up, Master Wormetounge wants to see the girl."
'Oh, no.'
Haha! Please Review and the second Chapter of DOOM will get up faster. :D
