The Battle of Five Armies
I don't own Digimon or The Hobbit
"Well lass, whatever luck you live by, let's hope it lasts the day." Gloin said to Daisuke as the entire company were standing on the gate prepared for battle while the men of Lake-Town and Bard along with Gandalf who decided to stay to aid the company were in front of the gate also ready for war as Thranduil's Elven Army marched towards the mountain.
"We're going to get through this, together." Bilbo said making the others nod at his words.
"Let's hope we last the day," Gloin muttered making the company grin slightly.
"Why did I have to get stuck here, I can hardly see anything." Veemon complained jumping up every so often to look over the wall which was just taller than he was.
They all soon saw Thranduil approaching on his stag with the Elves he walked through moving gracefully to the side and then back into formation, Thranduil stopped in front of the men of Lake-Town as an arrow sailed past his cheek and hit the ground behind and he looked up to see Kili with his bow in hand and another arrow ready to fire.
"The next arrow I'll be sure to put between your eyes," he threatened. Daisuke rolled her eyes while the other Dwarves shouted proudly before the army behind Thranduil all readied their bows, making everyone duck for cover except Daisuke and Kili who glared down at Thranduil who held his hand up and the elves all lowered their bows.
"I will give you all one last chance. Return to me what is mine, or I will be forced to take action." Thranduil told the company.
"I doubt that, you wouldn't come to Erebor with your entire army if you wanted to settle this peacefully." Daisuke said with a frown. "You've been nothing but trouble ever since we entered Mirkwood, you captured my friends, locked them away like criminals, left them to rot hoping they'd talk while you waited like the pompous ass you are."
"Thranduil stop this insanity right now," Gandalf said walking through the men of Lake-Town to stand in front of them beside Bard.
"Don't try to persuade my wizard, your friendship for the Dwarves has rendered your opinion meaningless. If I must end a member of the white council then so be it," Thranduil said coldly, before he could act on his threat the ground began to rumble and the company looked to the East to see another army approaching the mountain and the Dwarves began cheering loudly.
"Friends of yours?" Daisuke asked Thorin who nodded.
"Dain Ironfoot, Lord of the Iron Hills and my cousin." He answered pointing to the Dwarf in front riding a heavily armoured giant pig.
"Is he like you?" Bilbo asked.
"I've been told I'm the more reasonable between the two of us." Thorin answered earning a few chuckles from the others.
"What's happening out there?" Veemon asked jumping again trying to see.
"Shall I describe it to you, or do you want me to find you a box?" Bilbo asked the Digimon with a grin and Veemon blinked before he chuckled. Thranduil barked an order in Elvish and his army turned and marched to meet Dain Ironfoot and his army of Dwarves.
"Good morning. How are we all?" Dain asked once his army had stopped and his war pig stopped on a small rock allowing him to look down at the Elves. "I've a wee proposition, if you wouldn't mind giving me a few moments of your time. would you consider just sodding off!?" he asked the Elves loudly.
"Come now, Lord Dain." Gandalf said making his way through the army of Elves and the Dwarf glared down at him.
"Gandalf the Grey. Perhaps you could convince these knife-ears to leave right now, or I'll water the ground with their blood, it'll be bad for the soil, but the only good elf is a dead one."
"There is no need for war between Dwarves, Elves and Men. A legion of Orcs march on the mountain. Stand your army down." Gandalf said trying to reason with Dain.
"I will not stand down before any Elf. Not least this faithless Woodland sprite. He wishes nothing but ill upon my people, he's proven that before when he left my cousin's people to starve and die from the elements as they searched for a new home after the dragon came. If he chooses to stand between me and my kin for a second longer, I'll split his pretty head open! See if he's still smirking then!" the Dwarf shouted glaring at the smirking Thranduil.
"He's clearly mad, like his cousin." He said.
"Ya hear that lads? We're on! Let's give these bastards a good hammering!" Dain shouted as one of his Dwarves shouted in Khuzdul and the rest of the army grunted and readied their spears to charge while Thranduil's elves moved behind shields and their own spears with the archers getting ready to fire.
"And so, it begins," Daisuke muttered softly before the ground began rumbling again. "Now what!?" she shouted as Thorin looked at the mountains.
"Were-worms." He whispered making the other Dwarves all gasp, Daisuke, Veemon and Bilbo shared a confused look before several giant worms burst from the mountain and roared.
"Oh come on!" Dain exclaimed, then the unmistakable sound of Orcs shouting was heard as legions of Orcs marched out of the tunnels created by the Were-worms.
"Come forth my armies. Come forth and bathe the ground with blood!" Azog shouted from where he and several Orcs stood on a hill overlooking the battlefield as an Orc blew a horn while two more raised banners.
"Of course, that guy would be leading the armies." Daisuke said.
"The hordes of hell are upon us! To battle! To battle sons of Durin!" Dain shouted as the one half of his army ran after him and formed a phalanx formation in front of the charging Orcs.
"I'm going over the wall, who's coming with me?" Fili asked the company.
"You know the answer to that already," Kili answered his brother and the others nodded in agreement, Daisuke looked at Thorin and both nodded and climbed down the wall using ropes with the rest of the company following.
"The Elves, will they not fight?" Bard whispered to Gandalf as Thranduil and his army stayed motionless as the Orcs continued charging Dain's army.
"Thranduil, this is madness!" Gandalf shouted as Thranduil looked at the legions of Orcs charging, the Dwarves finished setting up their phalanx formation when four lines of Elves jumped over them deep into the Orc line and began cutting Orcs down allowing the Dwarves to charge impaling any Orc that got in their way.
"Charge!" Dain shouted as his war pig rammed its way through the Orcs army as the Dwarf hit several Orcs with his hammer.
"Send in the war beasts! They cannot fight on two fronts, now we make our move." Azog said. "Attack the city!" he commanded as another set of banners were raised as the horn was sounded and another legion of Orcs began marching on Dale.
"Azog, he's trying to cut us off." Gandalf said noticing the army marching to Dale along with several trolls that had catapults strapped to their backs.
"Bard you and your men fall back to Dale to defend it, if the Orcs take the city we'll have no escape." Daisuke told the bowman who nodded.
"All of you back to Dale, now!" he commanded the men of Lake-Town and they ran to the ruined city.
"Gandalf, you go with them. They might need the help of a wizard." Daisuke said and Gandalf ran to Dale as well.
"It's a good thing the people of Lake-Town are inside Erebor," Kili said.
"Let's just hope Bard and his men can protect the city, now let's kill some Orc!" Veemon shouted and the company charged into the battle, Daisuke ran towards an Orc and ran her sword through its stomach before pulling back and she decapitated another Orc. She then put her hand into her pocket and slipped on her ring just as another Orc charged and she vanished shocking the Orc before it was stabbed from behind by Daisuke who reappeared she grinned.
"For once using this ring doesn't seem so bad," she thought looking at the ring before she disappeared again and cut down another Orc before reappearing and doing the same blurring in and out of view as she cut through the army of Orcs.
"She's a demon!" One Orc screamed as Daisuke appeared in front of it and cut its head off with her sword, she looked at some more Orcs which all dropped their weapons and fled making her chuckle.
"I wouldn't go that far," she thought before an Orc ran up behind her before an arrow hit it in the eye and she turned to see Kili running over as he fired two more arrows at Orcs.
"So, you gonna explain how you were doing that vanishing act just now?" he asked drawing his sword and he stood back to back with Daisuke.
"Long story, I doubt you'd believe me." She answered parrying a blow before stabbing another Orc while Kili stabbed one in the eye with an arrow before he fired that very arrow at another Orc killing it.
"Oh the things I'd believe after all we've been through," Kili replied making Daisuke laugh. Both then looked to Dale and saw a troll wearing a stone on its head ram a ram and it collapsed allowing the Orcs to charge through.
"Well that gives a whole new meaning to thick-heads." Daisuke mumbled making Kili chuckle before he pushed her down as a troll wearing armor ran past them. "I thought trolls turned to stone in daylight?" she asked.
"The sky is cloudy; the sun isn't as strong as before to effect them," Kili answered standing up.
"Then let's try another method," Daisuke said running off and Kili followed her and Daisuke charged the troll and stabbed its knee with her sword making it howl in pain and turn its attention on her before an arrow struck its eye making it stumble back, Daisuke saw a weak point in the troll's armor and she stabbed her sword through the weak point and hit the troll's heart and it groaned before falling crushing an Orc that was beneath it.
Meanwhile Bard and the men of Lake-Town ran into Dale. "Get the archers to the parapet and hold them off for as long as you can." Bard told Percy who nodded and led the archers away. "The rest of you with me!" he ordered and the men of Lake-Town followed Bard into battle.
Thranduil rode his stag towards Dale cutting through numerous Orcs before the stag caught several on its antlers allowing the Elf to cut their heads off with one swing of his sword, however his stag was hit by three arrows killing it and Thranduil was thrown to the ground and Orcs surrounded him, he got to his feet and using his sheath as a secondary weapon he began cutting down Orc after Orc as Bard and his men also began battling the Orcs as bravely as they could.
"You've certainly got yourself into it this time cousin!" Dain shouted as he rode up to Thorin on his war pig hitting another Orc with his hammer.
"At least you're here," Thorin said cutting down another Orc with Orcrist before punching another knocking it down where he stabbed it through the chest.
"Save the family bonding until the battle's over!" Dain shouted charging off through more of the Orcs before three Orcs holding spears rammed them into his pig killing it and he was knocked off it. "Ya bastards!" he shouted as he hit all three Orcs with his hammer before he used another Orc's spear to stab another Orc before he resorted to headbutting Orcs.
"Those trolls are not doing us any favours," Bilbo said as he cut down another Orc near exhausted and covered in blood and muck as Veemon stood beside him.
"Agreed, I need to turn into Ex-Veemon, then I can take the fight to them." he said.
"Consider it down," both turned to see Daisuke running over with Kili as Daisuke pulled out her D-3 which beeped and glowed blue as did Veemon and he turned into Ex-Veemon. "Take them out buddy." The champion digimon grinned and ran off towards a troll and caught its club and ripped it away and used it to bash the troll's head it, he then jumped over a group of Dwarves and slammed his feet into another troll knocking it down and crushing its head.
"That girl's pet." Azog sneered. "Bring it down!" he ordered as the horn sounded and several orcs charged Ex-Veemon and he swung his tail knocking them away before some fired arrows at him and hit his back and he grunted.
"Ok now you guys are making me mad!" he shouted grabbing an Orc and he used it as a makeshift club and began knocking Orcs away from him. He was then hit by a troll knocking him down and he groaned, the troll roared and grabbed him by his throat and raised its giant mace with its free hand.
"Get away from him!" a voice shouted as Daisuke ran towards the troll and stabbed its hand making it roar and let Ex-Veemon go and he kicked the troll back before grabbing a spear that laid near him and he rammed it into the troll's chest before he removed the spear and threw it at another troll piercing its skull.
"Thanks," Ex-Veemon said before he crushed another Orc with his foot while Daisuke stabbed another one.
"Turn back to Veemon, you're too big of a target for the Orcs and Trolls," she told him before he glowed before becoming Veemon again.
"Fall back! Fall back to the mountain!" they heard Dain cry as the Orcs and the remaining trolls continued to push the Dwarf army back.
"Daisuke, Veemon!" Bilbo shouted over to them as he and the company ran back to the mountain, Daisuke and Veemon followed with Daisuke cutting through Orcs and dodging trolls along the way, Veemon pulled out the dagger Thorin gave him and joined her in cutting down Orcs.
"Prepare the final assault!" Azog told one Orc as he watched with a smirk as the remaining Dwarves and the company back against the gate of Erebor. "Hold...wait…wait." he instructed as the last six trolls marched in front of the Orc army. "Now!" the horn sounded, and the Orc army began to charge.
"Now what do we do?" Dwalin asked Thorin as Dain's soldiers readied their spears and shields.
"You're all sons of Durin right?" Daisuke spoke up making the company and Dain's army look at her. "And do Durin's folk run from a fight?"
"You know that we don't!" Fili shouted and Daisuke grinned.
"There's your answer, if we die today, then let's take as many of those ugly bastards down as we can!" she shouted raising her sword and the company and Dain's army shouted in agreement.
"Du Bekar!" Thorin shouted as he and the company charged the army of Orcs.
"To the king! To the king!" Dain cried as the Dwarves rallied around Thorin and the company, the trolls were quickly struck down by Dwarven spears and the Orcs were cut down by swords, hammers, maces and fists.
"The Dwarves. They're rallying." Bard told Gandalf as he and the wizard looked on from Dale.
"They're rallying to their king." Gandalf said with a smile, Bard walked through the surviving men of Lake-Town.
"If any man here wants to give their last, follow me!" he shouted and the men shouted and followed him into battle again.
"There is too many of these buggers, Thorin, I hope you have a plan." Dain said as he and Thorin stood side by side in a circle of dead Orcs.
"Aye, we're going to take out their leader." Thorin said looking at Ravenhill to see the banners still flying.
"Cut the head of the snake and the body will die." Daisuke said as she ran over with Veemon, Dwalin, Kili, Fili and Bilbo.
"But how are we going to get up there?" Bilbo asked and Daisuke grinned and pulled out her D-Terminal.
"You got enough left for another Digivolution?" she asked Veemon who nodded. "Good, Digi-Armour Energise!" she shouted as her D-Terminal lit up and Veemon glowed and he digivolved into Raidramon and Daisuke jumped on his back.
"Where did you find that girl?" Dain asked Thorin who grinned.
"By the will of a wizard." He answered climbing onto Raidramon along with Bilbo, Dwalin, Fili and Kili.
"Be lucky I can carry you all," Raidramon said and Daisuke grinned.
"You could use the challenge, now come on let's go!" she shouted and Raidramon shot off towards Ravenhill. "Light them up."
"Blue Thunder!" Raidramon roared firing blue lightning from his three spikes on his back at the army of Orcs electrocuting a lot of them allowing him to charge through with the six members of the company cutting down any Orcs that were nearby.
"Gandalf look," Bard said back in Dale as he finished off an Orc and saw Raidramon running up to Ravenhill.
"It's Daisuke, Thorin, Dwalin, Fili, Kili and Bilbo. The best warriors of the company are going up there." Gandalf said.
"Why?" Bard asked.
"To cut the head off the snake." Gandalf answered, before he and Bard saw Legolas riding towards them on a horse. "Legolas Greenleaf, what are you doing here?"
"There is another army coming Gandalf, Bolg is leading Orcs from Gundabad here, they'll be upon us in minutes." Legolas informed the wizard as he dismounted his horse as Gandalf frowned.
"This was their plan all along, Azog engages our armies, then Bolg sweeps in from the North." He spat.
"The North…but that's where Ravenhill is," Bard said turning to see Raidramon still running up the mountain. "They're walking into a trap."
"We won't make it in time, we must have faith they'll survive." Gandalf said grimly as he muttered a small prayer under his breath hoping for his friend's safety.
