Jim, Johnny, Horner, Artanis, and Selendis had a meeting after the Fellowship of the Ring was formed. "Father, from your book, you had headed east from here to Erebor," said Johnny.
"It's your turn to take over, son. Artanis and I will be going south from here," said Jim. "Matt, you'll help Johnny with the strategy since I'm taking half the number of men as back up."
"Sir, does it mean we'll be heading north?" Horner asked.
"Yes, you will. If you reached Erebor, tell the dwarves that you are all friends of Jim Raynor. That way, they will gain your trust," Jim gave a reminder.
"Hierarch, am I going north with them as well?" Selendis asked Artanis.
"Yes. You will lead the Golden Armada up north, Selendis. I'll take the main force south," the Hierarch replied. "Jim, we can fly straight from here to Mordor. That way it could conserve time."
"We could, but I have not been to south of Middle-earth. Our armies will be our plan B. I had been on an adventure in this planet before and we're going on an adventure like the one I had. The more men we take the riskier it will get," said Jim.
"You're suggesting we are to stick with the group of 22?"
"That's right."
Stetmann and Rohana went through the history of Middle-earth by going through the books. Karax, Stetmann, and Swann incorporated a mechanism that could translate spoken elvish into common tongue into the combat suits of Protoss and Terrans.
The next day, Rohana returned to the Spear of Adun while Jim, Swann, and Stetmann were suited up at the time the Fellowship of the Ring was preparing to leave. "The Ring-bearer is setting out on the Quest of Mount Doom. On you who travel with him, no oath nor bond is laid to further than you will. Farewell. Hold to your purpose. May the blessings of Elves and Men and all Free Folk go with you," Elrond announced and his daughter was present to send them off. Johnny, Horner, and Selendis watched Jim, Tosh, Swann, Stetmann, Kerrigan, Zagara, Dehaka, Stukov, Artanis, Alarak, Vorazun, and Talandar ready for departure.
"The Fellowship awaits the Ring-bearer," said Gandalf.
Frodo began heading out with his companions followed, "Mordor, Gandalf, is it left or right?"
"Left," the Fellowship of the Ring set out on the quest to Mount Doom.
Horner said to Johnny, "We'll start with placing a garrison here. You'll need SCVs to do so, train them up in the Command Center."
A Command Center was placed not far from the mineral fields and a Vespene Geyser near the House of Elrond. Johnny had the Space Construction Vehicles (SCVs) to start mining minerals and constructed a refinery to harvest Vespene. Selendis had placed warp prisms so that her warriors made up of zealots that had a pair of psionic blades, dragoon ranged striders, and immortal assault striders could be warped in.
"Johnny, once you have the resources you can train your warriors," said the executor.
"You'll need marines, build a barracks to train them," said Horner. Johnny had the SCVs to construct barracks to train marines that were equipped with C-14 Gauss rifles.
Suddenly, a silver-haired elf wearing silver armor approached Johnny, Horner, Selendis, Elrond, and Gloin.
"What brings you back so soon, elf?" Gloin asked.
"Goblins have come down from the mountains. They're coming from the south," the elf replied.
"I sensed this day was coming. Long has Rivendell been safe from the servants of darkness. Its sanctity must not be lost," said Elrond.
Johnny turned to the marines, "All right, men. Let's show the goblins what we are made of."
"Warriors, let the enemy feel the wrath of Aiur's champions," said Selendis.
"Who are you?" the silver-haired elf asked upon meeting Horner and Selendis.
"I'm Admiral Matt Horner."
"I am Executor Selendis of the Protoss."
"They're friends of the Raynors and they're here to help, Glorfindel," Elrond said to the silver-haired elf.
"Goblins? We'll take care of those filthy wretches," said Gloin.
"Johnny, we must construct bunkers to hold off the enemy," Horner continued the tutoring as the SCVs began constructing bunkers near the entrances of Rivendell especially the west flank and had those structures filled with marines. The elven warriors wielding swords and shields positioned themselves near the bunkers along with Selendis' forces.
Huge hordes of scimitar-wielding goblins began attacking from the flank and a marine inside a bunker muttered, "Here they come. Lock and load." They fired at the goblins and torn them to shreds easily. The projectile accelerators installed into the structures had enhanced the bunkered marines' shooting range and the Neosteel frame enabled a single bunker to have six marines inside.
The zealots charged to intercept the goblins and began slashing at them with their psionic blades. A single zealot could kill two goblins within an attack with a pair of psionic blades. The protoss striders picked off the goblin warriors; however they were inefficient against foes in large numbers. Despite the elven warriors participated, the Terran and Protoss forces had more kills.
"More elves are coming," said another marine as battalions of elven archers arrived from the west and stationed near the bunkers.
"The enemy is bringing bigger beasts," said a Protoss zealot.
Behind another massive horde of goblins, a gigantic hunchback humanoid beast carrying a large boulder arrived. "It's a giant," said one of the elven warriors.
"They brought trolls too," said Johnny as two trolls were on sight. The trolls hurled rocks on a bunker while the giant hurled a boulder at long range at another bunker.
The immortal assault striders brought down the giant down easily with their phase-disruptor cannons while the dragoon ranged striders took down the trolls with their phase disruptors. "Is this the best they got?" an immortal assault strider pilot muttered.
Johnny had some of the SCVs to repair the bunkers.
"I've returned with lancers, father," Arwen arrived with elven warriors on horseback wielding lances. "We've destroyed a goblin encampment on the west. There are more goblins setting up camp across the river."
"Sound the alarm! Goblins are coming, they're just beyond the river," an elf officer ordered.
"We'll have to tear all the goblin encampments," said Johnny. The combined forces of elves, Terrans, and Protoss launched assaults on the goblin encampments. The goblins had sentry towers garrisoned with goblin archers to defend the encampments; however they could not withstand the immortal assault striders' anti-armor cannons. The marines gunned down any goblin easily while dodging the boulders hurled by giants. The elven lancers trampled the goblin swordsmen and archers at full speed while the elven archers picked off the goblin swordsmen. The zealots quickly cut the goblins into pieces with their psionic blades while the striders demolished the buildings and handled the giants. The marines' assault rifles also had incendiary rounds enabling them to destroy structures aiding the immortal assault striders and dragoon ranged striders. Eventually the goblin encampments were eliminated by the combined forces.
Elrond realized Rivendell was not safe for the elves since the siege and formed a plan to unite the elves and dwarves. He sent Glorfindel, Gloin, Johnny, Horner, and Selendis to fight Sauron's forces in the north.
Author's Note
There won't be any StarCraft army units in Fellowship of the Ring. This crossover story is divided between the events occurred in the north and south. Some of the StarCraft game play would be incorporated into this story.
