Tosh and Vorazun waited for the hostiles to be cleared from the area near Minas Morgul. Something crashed and it turned out to be the elvish bread. "It had to be the Gollum creature," Vorazun whispered.

"He's up to something," Tosh spoke in a soft voice.

Vorazun wrapped the elvish bread using the huge leaf as if it was a package before.

When the hostiles were all gone, Sam had crashed. Tosh and Vorazun ran to him. "What happened? Where's Frodo?" the dark Templar matriarch asked.

"It's that Gollum creature. He poisoned us against each other," the hobbit replied sadly.

"He's taking Frodo to a trap. We must hurry," said Tosh.

"Here's the Lembas," Vorazun returned the package to the hobbit.

"Thanks."

The trio began climbing the rocky stairs where Sam had rolled in at the first place.

Gollum led Frodo into a tunnel where the hobbit was attacked by a giant spider. Frodo dropped Sting and the Phial of Galadriel when escaping the spider. The hobbit eventually realized that Gollum had tricked him and got into a fight. As a result, Frodo threw the wretched creature off the cliff.

Sam, Tosh, and Vorazun went through the tunnel. "I remember Faramir mentioned about a 'dark terror' dwells in this place," the dark Templar matriarch remembered Faramir's words when they saw corpses and carcasses wrapped in spider web.

"It had to be a giant spider," Tosh muttered.

Sam found the Phial of Galadriel and Sting on the ground.

"That 'terror' must have attacked Frodo," said Vorazun.

The hobbit recovered the Phial of Galadriel and the short sword.

Frodo went off to somewhere in the pass of Cirith Ungol and was stung by the giant spider that caught up to him. After the spider wrapped the hobbit into a cocoon with its web; Sam appeared holding both the Phial of Galadriel and Sting, "Let him go, you filth." Tosh and Vorazun with her warp blade readied arrived also. "Let him go!" this caused the giant spider to drop Frodo. "You will not touch him again. Come on and finish it."

Sam charged at the giant spider and slashed it. The wretched spider shoved the hobbit causing him to drop his weapon and the elvish container.

Tosh used a psionic explosion that he called mind blast on the giant spider inflicting damage on its mind and stunned it. Vorazun used shadow fury cutting the spider's legs off disabling it from moving and attacking. She finished off the giant spider by sinking her warp blade on its head and it cried in pain before it died, "Too easy."

"Mr. Frodo," Sam ran to his friend who was wrapped in spider web and removed the webbing that covered Frodo's face. "Oh, no."

"We're too late," Tosh muttered. "I wish the scientist guy is here so he can cure Frodo of this condition," the spectre thought.

"Frodo. Mr. Frodo," Sam attempted to get Frodo's attention and was useless. "Wake up," he cradled Frodo and tears were flooding in his eyes. "Don't leave me here alone. Don't go where I can't follow. Wake up. Not asleep. Dead," Sam cried until Sting glowed.

"We got company," said Vorazun.

"You get back, you scum!" there was a voice.

Sam, Tosh, and Vorazun went into hiding. An orc and what appeared to be Uruk-hai came into the scene. "What's this? Looks like old Shelob's been having a bit of fun," said the orc.

"Shelob? So that's the name of the giant spider," Tosh thought.

"Killed another one, has she? Or they might've killed each other," said the Uruk as he saw Shelob's carcass.

"No. This fellow ain't dead," the orc examined Frodo.

"Not dead?" Sam whispered.

"She jabs him with her stinger, and he goes as limp as a boned fish. Then she has her way with them. That's how she likes to feed. Fresh blood," the orc explained. "Get him to the tower!" he ordered as several Uruks took Frodo away.

"Samwise, you fool," Sam whispered.

"Let's follow them," Vorazun spoke in a soft voice.

"This scum will be awake in a couple of hours," said an Uruk.

"Then he'll wish he'd never been born," said the orc.

Hours later in the tower, Frodo's captors searched his belongings. The orc and Uruk got into a fight over some shiny shirt. As a result, a brawl between orcs and Uruks was ignited.

Sam, Tosh, and Vorazun were closing onto the tower. When they entered through a gate, there were corpses of orcs and Uruks. "They fought amongst themselves. For what?" the dark Templar matriarch wondered.

They hurried into the interior of the tower and Sam drew two short swords. The hobbit attempted look scary in the shadows after noticing orcs or Uruks alive inside the tower. The hostiles charged at the group of three and Sam stabbed one of the foes, "That's for Frodo!" Sam slashed another foe, "And for the Shire!" The hobbit dodged another slash from a foe and pushed him to his death, "And that's for my old Gaffer!"

"Let's move," said Vorazun as the trio advanced. Unknown to them, Frodo's Uruk captor escaped with the shiny shirt.

The trio got closer to Frodo's location in the top of the tower and heard, "Stop your squealing, you dunghill rat. I'm gonna bleed you like a stuck pig."

"Not if I stick you first," Sam backstabbed Frodo's orc captor.

"Sam! Tosh! Vorazun!" Frodo regained conscious and was nearly without clothing. "Oh, guys, I'm so sorry. Sorry for everything."

"Let's get you out of here," Sam began untying the bonds on his friend.

"It's too late. It's over. They've taken it. Guys … they took the Ring."

"What?" Tosh and Vorazun spoke in a surprised tone.

"Begging your pardon, but they haven't," Sam revealed that the Ring was in his possession. "I thought I'd lost you. So I took it. Only for safekeeping."

"That was close," Tosh muttered.

"Give it to me. Give me the Ring, Sam. Sam, give me the Ring," Frodo ordered. Sam stretched his arm and Frodo snatched it then placed the small chain around his neck. "You must understand. The Ring is my burden. It will destroy you, Sam. And so do you, Tosh, Vorazun."

"Come on, Mr. Frodo. We best find you some clothes. You can't go walking through Mordor in naught but your skin," said Sam.

After Frodo dressed up, the hobbits wore the orc's armor while Tosh and Vorazun cloaked for the rest of their quest. "We did it, Mr. Frodo. We made it to Mordor," said Sam as they saw Mount Doom in a long distance.

"There are so many of them. We'll never get through unseen," said Frodo as he saw the tower where an eye was watching over Mordor. "It's him, the Eye."

"The Eye can see through our cloaks," said Tosh.

"We have to go in there, Mr. Frodo. There's nothing for it. Come on. Let's just make it down the hill for starters," said Sam and the group of four went downwards.

Author's Note

When I was writing Tosh and Vorazun fighting Shelob, I listened to the StarCraft II Legacy of the Void soundtrack called "Blades of Justice" as I thought it would be suitable as a background music. Anyway, the next chapter will be on Gondor.
