The next day, Frodo woke up in a luminous room somewhere not far from Minas Tirith. "Gandalf?" he recognized the wizard in front of the bed despite not noticing the difference. Frodo and Gandalf laughed with joy.
"Frodo!" said Merry as he and Pippin entered. They jumped onto the bed playing while the wizard continued laughing.
"Gimli!" Frodo spotted the dwarf entering the room. Legolas followed by Aragorn entered the room and they smiled at Frodo. The young hobbit's laughter turned to smile when Sam entered the room smiling. "Jim? Tosh?" Frodo saw the Terran commander, Swann, Stetmann, and Tosh entering the room.
"You did it, Frodo. Bilbo will be proud of you," Jim smiled.
"Hobbits can make a legend," said Stetmann.
"Two hobbits went out destroying the One Ring. One became the esquire of Rohan while the other the Guard of the Citadel," Swann muttered.
"Tosh, we couldn't have destroyed the Ring without you," said Frodo.
"You could've been food to Shelob the giant spider," said Tosh.
"Sarah?" Frodo spotted Kerrigan, Zagara, Stukov, and Dehaka entering.
"You did very good, Frodo," said the Queen of Blades.
"Hobbits have interesting essence. We should collect them," Dehaka muttered.
"Don't even think about it, primal," said Zagara.
"At first hobbits only existed in old Earth's fantasy story. But now, they are real to make history," said Stukov.
"Artanis," Frodo saw Artanis, Karax, Vorazun, Talandar, and Alarak entering.
"The one who is so small is able to make the greatest change," said Artanis.
"At least the hobbit was able to cast the Ring into the fires of Mount Doom," said Karax.
"This is unbelievable. A hobbit can force the Dark One out of this planet," said Alarak.
"Finally, you have purified Mordor," said Talandar.
"Vorazun, I couldn't have made it through without you," said Frodo.
"We have followed you all the way to end where we see the Ring is destroyed," said Vorazun.
Jim visited his son at the Hyperion's med bay. "Commander, Johnny's stamina is gradually returning normal. He'll be making a complete recovery," a medic informed.
"Thanks," said Jim and he reached Johnny in the bed. "My son."
"Father?" Johnny began to regain conscious as he opened his eyes.
"It's me," the father and son embraced.
"What just happened?"
Jim told Johnny everything what had happened.
Protoss, Terrans, and Zerg along with the people of Gondor and Rohan gathered in the courtyard of Minas Tirith that had been rebuilt. At the doorway, Gimli held a pillow that had the crown and Gandalf placed the crown onto Aragorn. "Now come the days of the king," the wizard announced. "May they be blessed."
There were applauses when Aragorn turned to face the crowds. "This day does not belong to one man but to all. Let us together rebuild this world that we may share in the days of peace," the new king gave his speech and there was another round of applauses. Aragorn sang in another language while walking through the walkway past the crowds.
"Out of the Great Sea of Middle-earth I am come.
In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world."
Eomer, Eowyn, Faramir, Jim, Swann, Stetmann, Tosh, Johnny, Horner, Kerrigan, Stukov, Artanis, Selendis, Karax, Vorazun, and Alarak bowed when Aragorn walked past them. Talandar, Zagara, and Dehaka bowed a bit awkward. Nevertheless, Aragorn smiled at them.
Legolas, Elrond, Glorfindel, and a group of elves approached Aragorn. "Thank you," the new King of Gondor said in elvish and placed his hand on Legolas' shoulder. Glorfindel and another elf stepped aside as Arwen revealed herself from behind the banner of the White Tree. Aragorn and Arwen walked towards each other. They caressed each other on the faces and kissed as Arwen became queen. Elrond smiled while the crowds gave another round of applause. The royal couple walked to Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin. The four hobbits bowed in front of Aragorn and Arwen. "My friends, you bow to no one," Aragorn said in common tongue. The royal couple along with the people of Gondor and Rohan bowed to the four hobbits.
"Unbelievable," Swann muttered.
"Four hobbits getting the credit," Alarak muttered.
Special operations dropships and overlords arrived. The royal couple, the people of Gondor, the people of Rohan, and elves got up. The Zerg were loaded into the overlords while the Terrans boarded the special operations dropships.
"Where are you all going?" Aragorn asked.
"We're going after Amon," Kerrigan replied.
"Long as Amon lives, the End War in the sector is not over," said Artanis.
"The War of the Ring in this planet is over. If we don't find Amon, there's no telling what he will do," said Jim.
"After you kill Amon, all of you are welcome to settle down in Middle-earth and make a new start. The Zerg, the Protoss, and the Men from the sector have helped us all the way to the end. We will never forget that," said Aragorn.
"We appreciate your offer."
"Will we ever see you all again?" Frodo asked.
"We're not sure. But with this, we Protoss will remember," Artanis displayed the elven brooch.
"The Swarm will not forget this planet with this," Kerrigan held the elven brooch.
"If possible, we'll ensure that no feral Zerg will invade this planet," said Zagara.
"I'll visit you after the End War," said Jim.
"Please come back alive," said Arwen.
"I have something for the Free Peoples to remember us by," Selendis gave Aragorn a Protoss plaque.
Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Elrond, Arwen, Johnny, and men of the West watched the Protoss all being warped out of Middle-earth. They also watched the overlords all heading towards the leviathans and the special operations dropships all flying into the fleet. The Terrans, Zerg, and Protoss left Middle-earth pursuing Amon.
Author's Note
When I was writing the reunion in the room, I listened to the last 47.31% of the soundtrack "Heavens Devils" from StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.
As for the departure, I listened to the first 37% of the soundtrack "Heavens Devils".
I thought they would be suitable background music for those scenes.
