The End of the Defiler
I don't own Digimon or The Hobbit
Raidramon continued running up the mountain towards the top of Ravenhill with Daisuke and the others cutting down any Orc that got in there way. "Thunder Blast!" Raidramon shouted firing a bolt of lightning from the horn on his head to electrocute three Orcs that were in front of him before he ran them down crushing them beneath his feet.
"When we get up there, stay together. We've come too far to be killed because we split up." Daisuke said as her partner ran up some stairs as those riding him jumped into a group of Orcs and began fighting them.
"Agreed," Thorin said stabbing an Orc as Bilbo knocked another Orc over and Dwalin decapitated it with his axe, Fili and Kili worked together and killed four more Orcs as Raidramon donkey kicked another Orc sending it over the cliff to its death.
Daisuke killed another Orc before she looked at where Azog's command post was and stood at the edge of a frozen lake and frowned when she saw no Orcs. "Where'd they all go?" she asked as the others looked at the command post.
"I think Azog has fled," Fili said.
"No. That piece of filth has something planned." Thorin told his nephew as Raidramon glowed and turned back into an exhausted Veemon who sat on a rock to catch his breath.
"Should someone scout out the towers?" Bilbo asked.
"Not a good idea, who knows how many Orcs are hiding in these ruins. It's the perfect place to ambush us and cut us down, I bet Azog hopes we do split up." Daisuke answered wiping her sword clean on her trousers, it was then that Dwalin heard something and saw creatures climbing over a wall.
"We've got company. Goblin mercenaries, no more than a hundred." He told the company.
"Let's make this quick," Thorin said as the Goblins attacked the seven fighters who began fighting the Goblins.
Back in Dale, Thranduil walked through the ruined city and looked upon all the dead Elves who died in the fighting, another Elf ran into the clearing and looked at his king. "Recall your company." He ordered, the Elf nodded blowing a horn as Gandalf and Bard found them and the gathering of what was left of the company of Elves.
"Thranduil, dispatch this company to Ravenhill the Dwarves are about to be overrun, Thorin must be warned." The wizard said but the king brushed past him and Bard.
"Then by all means warn him, I've shed enough Elvish blood in defence of this accursed land. No longer."
"You would abandon those in need again, how many times will you be so selfish and care only for yourself?" Bard demanded but the king ignored him.
"I'll warn them," Gandalf, Bard and Thranduil saw Legolas on his horse. "They're going to need all the help they can get."
"I will not allow my own son to sacrifice himself for some greedy Dwarves." Thranduil said glaring at his son.
"Apologies father, but I am not one to do nothing while others die around me." Legolas replied calmly. "We may be immortal, but if we do not help others in this world it is a meaningless existence."
"I will banish you from the Woodland Realm if you go to help Oakenshield." Thranduil threatened hoping that would make Legolas see reason.
"Then I am banished." Legolas simply said before turning his horse around and he raced towards Ravenhill, Thranduil though shocked by his son's choice schooled his features, turned and walked off with the Elves following him.
"That wasn't what I expected to happen," Bard muttered once he and Gandalf were alone.
"Indeed, it seems that Legolas has decided to walk his own path." The wizard replied.
Back on Ravenhill, Daisuke and the others had killed the Goblins and now were waiting for Azog to show himself. "Where is that Orc filth?" Dwalin hissed standing behind a wall glancing at the tower across the frozen lake, they then heard someone approaching and turned with their weapons raised as Legolas arrived and climbed off his horse.
"What're you doing here?" Thorin demanded with a scowl not happy to see the Elf.
"You all need to leave now, Azog has another army on its way. Ravenhill will be surrounded." Legolas explained to the group who all shared a look.
"That would explain why we've not seen that other Orc who led the attack on us on the river from Mirkwood this entire battle." Daisuke said.
"It all makes sense now, this is a trap." Thorin said with a frown.
"We've not lost yet." Dwalin told him readying his axe.
"He's right. Azog wanted us to split up and search the rest of the ruins, he wanted us to be trapped when the second army arrived. What better way to wipe out the line of Durin then to surround them." Daisuke said.
"Fall back. We'll live to fight another day," Thorin said. As they turned to head back they heard drums and turned back to the tower and saw torches light up.
"I'm afraid we might not have a choice," Legolas said. They waited as the drum beats got louder until Azog stepped into view.
"Oakenshield, you didn't take the bait. I wanted to savor each kill." Azog hissed in Orc speech glaring down at the Dwarf.
"Why don't' you come down here you coward! If you want to kill Thorin, Kili and Fili you're going to have to get through all of us!" Daisuke shouted at the pale Orc who sneered and walked off.
"Come on, we need to end this." Thorin said walking down to the frozen lake followed by Daisuke, Veemon and Kili.
"You guys stay here, Bolg is going to show up soon. You guys handle him, ok?" Daisuke asked Fili, Bilbo, Dwalin and Legolas.
"You guys better come back alive." Fili told them.
"We're going to have to be, Erebor won't survive if you're the king." Kili told his brother with a grin as he ran off to the tower with Thorin, Daisuke and Veemon.
"I wouldn't be that bad," Fili mumbled.
"Face it lad, you would be," Dwalin said making the blonde Dwarf pout.
"Dwarves certainly are strange." Legolas said.
"Agreed," Bilbo said before he and the others looked up to see swarms of bats fly overhead and head towards the battlefield down below and begin attacking the Dwarves below. Then they saw Bilbo's blade glow blue and heard Orcs roar and saw the creatures begin to climb over the ruins around them.
"Come on you pieces of filth!" Dwalin shouted swinging his axe into an Orc before he punched another Orc and decapitated it once it was down, Legolas drew his bow and fired three arrows at three Orcs killing them instantly. Bilbo parried an Orc's blade and stabbed it through the chest before cutting another Orc's knee off and stabbing it in the back.
"Slay them all!" Bolg ordered as he climbed over the ruins before a rock struck his head and he glared at Bilbo. "You!"
"Yeah, I'm still alive. But you won't be." The Hobbit said bravely as he cut down another Orc before running up some steps and he swung his sword at Bolg who caught Bilbo's wrist and grinned sadistically.
Over on the other side of the frozen lake, Daisuke skid across the ice before running up several flights of stairs with Thorin, Kili and Veemon following her before going up another path. She kept running until she heard a roar and stepped back as Azog leaped out of the darkness and swung his mace down at her, she spun around his sword arm and slashed his leg making him growl in pain before he swung his mace again but missed hitting the ground instead.
"You took my eye from me!" he growled as he blocked Daisuke's sword with his mace.
"And it made you even more ugly." She retorted before she was knocked back and fell down some stairs, she got back to her feet and dodged another swing of Azog's mace before she jumped onto a rock and then leaped over his sword arm and pinned it under her foot and she swung her sword which was blocked by Azog's mace before she kicked him in the chest sending him rolling down a small hill.
"Get down!" a voice shouted making her duck as an arrow flew over her and hit an Orc that had appeared out of the mist and she looked back to see Kili and Thorin running over with Kili firing another arrow at another Orc sending it toppling over the cliff.
"Vee-Headbutt!" she heard her partner shout as a blur rammed into another Orc's chest before Veemon stabbed it with his dagger, Daisuke grinned and stabbed another Orc before she ran through a corridor chased by two more Orcs, she slashed the first one's chest sending it over the edge and she stabbed the second which followed the same fate.
"Where are you Azog!?" she shouted before the pale Orc jumped out from his hiding place and hit her in the face with his mace sending her out onto the frozen lake.
"Go in for the kill!" he commanded as Orcs and Goblins ran onto the lake towards Daisuke who held a cut on her face that was a result of Azog hitting her before arrows began raining down on them and she saw Kili firing his bow and he nodded at her. Thorin ran onto the frozen lake and helped Daisuke cut down the Goblins and Orcs while Veemon kept fighting the Orcs in the ruins.
"That coward wants every advantage he can think of," Daisuke grumbled tripping a Goblin before she stabbed it with her sword as Thorin decapitated another Orc.
"Once we finish the fodder, we'll have him outnumbered." He said.
"Something tells me that won't be enough," Daisuke thought as she killed another Orc. Meanwhile back with Bilbo and the others the Hobbit continued fighting Bolg as best he could by using his smaller size to avoid Bolg's large mace that he tried to squash him with. He stabbed Bolg in the knee making the Orc roar in anger before he elbowed Bilbo making him stumble before Bolg threw him against a wall and he gasped in pain.
"Bilbo!" Fili shouted running to aid his friend hitting Bolg with his sword and cutting him in the side and back as he spun around the Orc before he was hit by Bolg's mace sending him into a wall and he was grabbed by Bolg who prepared to stab him with the sharpened hilt of the mace with a cruel smirk plastered on his face.
"No!" Bilbo shouted jumping to his feet and he rammed his sword into Bolg's exposed shoulder and the Orc roared in pain and anger as he tried to shake the Hobbit off him who stabbed him in the shoulder several more times until he was thrown off the Orc.
"You meddlesome halfling, I'm going to stick you like a pig!" Bolg growled before an arrow fired from Legolas struck him in the chest, then two more arrows hit him in quick succession before he was run through by Bilbo's sword.
"Not if I stick you first." He whispered before he pulled back and decapitated Bolg with a yell and the Orc's head rolled away as its body went limp. Bilbo sighed and ran over to Fili and helped him up and the blonde Dwarf smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Good job, that's one down."
"But Azog is still alive, we should go help Thorin and the others," Dwalin said before more Orcs and Goblins showed up.
"They'll have to manage for a while," Legolas said firing another arrow at a Goblin as the four began fighting another wave of Orcs and Goblins.
Daisuke grit her teeth as she cut down the last Orc that was fighting her and Thorin and both saw Azog approaching holding a chain that connected to a large chunk of stone and he smirked when they all heard a horn blow. "You gotta be kidding," Daisuke whispered seeing the massive army of Orcs appear over the horizon behind Azog. "What do we do?" she asked Thorin.
"What we planned, cut the head of the snake. His army will flee once they see Azog fall," he answered holding Orcrist in his hands.
"Alright, back me up. Don't screw this up," Daisuke replied with a smile and Thorin nodded, both ran towards Azog who roared and swung the giant chunk of rock at them, they stepped out of the way and Daisuke saw the ice crack from the impact and she smirked and Thorin saw the smirk and returned it.
"Is that all you're going to do? Swing a rock at us, I thought you had more brains then that," he taunted the pale Orc who swung the rock at him but Thorin jumped back and more ice cracked.
"He doesn't have any brains, he's an Orc remember. They're dense, they make Goblins look smart." Daisuke continued dodging another swing of the rock as Azog roared in anger as he continued slamming the rock on the ice making the cracks grow larger.
"And they're dumb," Thorin said.
"But they can sing, I'll give them that." Daisuke said before she was knocked off her feet by the rock and she rolled out of the way as Azog slammed the rock down at her again before she stood up and Azog looked behind her, Daisuke and Thorin heard an Eagle cry as several giant eagles flew over them with Radagast riding the Eagle at the front while Beorn was on another Eagle.
"The Eagles are here," Veemon whispered as he saw the majestic creatures fly towards the army of Orcs and swoop down and knock them all over while grabbing many in their talons and dropping them, Beorn jumped off the Eagle that carried him and transformed into his giant bear form during the fall and he landed in the middle of the Orc army and began running through them killing many with his claws and teeth.
"No!" Azog shouted before he swung the rock at Daisuke again and this time the rock got stuck in the ice and she smirked as she saw the chunk of ice Azog stood on was separated from the rest of the ice and about to tip over and she picked the rock up and tossed it to Azog who caught it and he looked confused before the ice tipped and he roared as he fell and sunk underwater.
"I hope no one finds your body," Daisuke said exhausted before she and Thorin both saw Azog's body under the ice.
"You won't kill another Dwarf ever again," Thorin whispered as he and Daisuke stood over Azog before Daisuke saw the pale Orc's mouth twitch into a smirk and she gasped.
"Move!" she screamed pushing Thorin aside as Azog's sword arm broke through the ice and pierced her foot and she screamed in agony before Azog burst out of the ice knocking her down and she swung her sword and he blocked it with his before she blocked his attempt to stab her in the chest.
"My master may be angry when he hears I killed you, but he'll bring you back as his puppet. He already knows he can do it," Azog hissed with a smirk and Daisuke frowned at his words.
"What does he mean by that?" she thought as she felt the strength in her arms failing before Azog roared as Thorin got back to his feet and stabbed the Orc in the arm and Daisuke gasped in relief, she slowly got back up and saw Thorin and Azog fighting before Thorin was cut across the chest and fell. "No…you won't kill him!" she screamed charging Azog who turned and swung his sword at her and she was hit in the chest, but the blow glanced off her Mithril shirt, she parried another blow, then another adrenaline fuelling her body.
She ducked under another swing of Azog's sword and she cut into his leg making him fall to one knee, Daisuke swung her sword down again and severed his leg making him roar in agony, she stood behind him and ran her sword through his back and the pale Orc gasped and coughed up blood. "That was for Thorin, off with your head." She hissed and with a loud yell she swung her sword and decapitated Azog finally killing him.
She panted heavily and dropped her sword before she ran over to Thorin. "He's finally dead?" he asked.
"Yes…he's dead. He won't hurt anymore of your people ever again," she answered, she looked at the cut on Thorin's chest and placed her hands on it.
"Don't…don't bother," he whispered.
"No. You are not going to die on my Thorin, not after everything we've been through together. You did not overcome the gold sickness to die like this!" she shouted making Thorin look at her.
"Ever since this quest began, you've always been by my side. You never abandoned me, you never let me order you around. Even when I doubted your worth to the company, you always stood beside me. If not for you…I probably would still be in Erebor under the thrall of gold sickness…" he whispered as Daisuke wiped some tears from her eyes.
"Stop talking like that Thorin, that is all in the past." Daisuke told him placing her hands on the cut on his chest as they began to glow gold. "You're not going to die, you hear me. I'm going to save you. You can't leave us all now, Fili and Kili need you."
"They have you to keep them out of trouble," Thorin said with a smile, unknown to both Kili, Fili, Dwalin, Bilbo, Veemon and Legolas had found them and stopped just short of them noticing. "Especially Kili." Daisuke blinked and opened her mouth to speak but Thorin continued. "Don't think I've not seen the signs, he's fallen for you."
"Stop talking like you're going to die you idiot, I'm healing you. So please…stop acting like you're about to leave." Daisuke whispered as she continued to heal Thorin and with relief saw his injury slowly closing until all that was left was bare skin stained with dried blood. "Finally, now I can rest." She said before falling down beside Thorin and closed her eyes as exhaustion gave way to peaceful sleep.
