After escaping Gollum through the tunnels, Bilbo runs down the mountain after the rest of the company. Further down the mountain, Devon and his friends had escaped the Goblins and moved through the forest down the hill. They soon stop to catch their breath. Gandalf pauses to count how many Dwarves were with him.
"Five, six, seven, eight...Bifur, Bofur...that's ten...Fili, Kili...that's twelve...and Bombur. That makes thirteen." Gandalf says
Gandalf then saw that Bilbo was nowhere to be found.
"Where's Bilbo? Where is our Hobbit? Where is our Hobbit?!" Gandalf asks
Devon and his friends looked around and saw that Bilbo was nowhere in sight.
"Curse the Halfling! Now he's lost?!" Dwalin says
"I thought he was with Dori!" Glóin says
"Don't blame me!" Dori says
"Well, where did you last see him?" Gandalf asks
"I think I saw him slip away, when they first collared us." Nori says
"What happened exactly? Tell me!" Gandalf asks
Bilbo, still invisible, caught up to the rest of the group. He hides behind a tree as Thorin speaks.
"I'll tell you what happened. Master Baggins saw his chance and he took it! He's thought of nothing but his soft bed and his warm hearth since first he stepped out of his door! We will not be seeing our Hobbit again. He is long gone." Thorin says
Bilbo leans on the tree as he ponders what he just heard. The Dwarves, Devon and his friends look at each other.
"No, he isn't." Bilbo says
Bilbo steps out from behind the tree, no longer invisible. The group look up in shock and relief, seeing Bilbo appear before them. Devon and his friends smiled upon seeing Bilbo again. Gandalf laughs.
"Bilbo!" Devon exclaims
"You're alright!" Luna exclaims
Luna rushes up to Bilbo and nuzzles her head against his chest. Bilbo smiles and rubs Luna's head with his left-hand.
"Bilbo Baggins! I've never been so glad to see anyone in my life!" Gandalf says
Bilbo strides forward into the group and pats Balin affectionately on his shoulder.
"Bilbo, we'd given you up!" Kili says
"How on earth did you get past the Goblins?!" Fili asks
"How, indeed." Dwalin says
There was an awkward silence as Bilbo tries to think what to say. Bilbo gives a nervous laugh and puts his hands on his hips. Gandalf notices Bilbo sliding the Ring into his waistcoat pocket. Devon saw this as well. He saw that Bilbo had slid the Ring in his pocket and remained silent.
"Well, what does it matter? He's back!" Gandalf says
"It matters! I want to know: why did you come back?" Thorin says
"Look, I know you doubt me, I know you always have. And you're right, I often think of Bag End. I miss my books. And my armchair. And my garden. See, that's where I belong. That's home. And that's why I came back, cause you don't have one. A home. It was taken from you. But I will help you take it back if I can." Bilbo says
Gandalf smiles slightly, happy that Bilbo has changed for the better. Devon and his friends smiled as well, knowing that he was becoming the Hobbit he was destined to be.
Azog and his Warg Riders get to the top of the mountain and pick up the group's trail.
"Khul ri dum! Rak shi zithroma ru doi! (Run them down! Tear them to pieces!)" Azog says
Azog swings his mace forward, and several Wargs, without riders, leap forward and race down the mountain after the company, howling. Hearing the howls of the Wargs, the group realizes that they were far from safe.
"Out of the frying pan..." Thorin says
"And into the fire! Run! Run!" Gandalf says
The group start running down the mountain as fast as they can. The Wargs follow them rapidly. Night time has fallen and soon the Warg catches up to the group. One of the Wargs leaps at Bilbo, but he ducks behind a rock and the Warg's jaws snap in the air over his head. The Warg lands infront of him and charges back at him. Bilbo pulls out his sword and holds it infront of him. The charging Warg impales itself in the head on the sword and falls down dead. Bilbo looks on in surprise.
A few more Wargs catch up to the group as they fled, but they were quickly dispatched. The company reaches a large outcropping of land with a few trees growing on it. They were trapped there, since there was no way off the outcropping besides a great fall down the mountain.
"Up into the trees, all of you! Come on, climb! Bilbo, climb!" Gandalf says
Bifur throws an axe, killing a Warg which was approaching him. Bofur jumps off a rock and grabs a tree branch, using Dwalin's head as a stepping stone to the trees. The other Dwarves begin climbing into the trees as well. Bilbo tries to pull his sword out of the dead Warg's head, but it was stuck firmly in it's skull.
"They're coming!" Thorin shouts
Gandalf climbs to the top of the furthest tree. Dwalin gives Balin a boost up to the tree. Thorin, Bombur, and the rest climb up trees too. Devon, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, the Viking Teens and the dragons climb up onto the trees as well. The main body of Wargs and Warg Riders approach.
Bilbo finally manages to pull his sword out of the Warg and looks up to see several more Wargs running at him. He quickly clambers up a tree as the Wargs rush below him.
Dozens of Wargs circle the trees the company were perched. Gandalf reaches out with his staff and picks up a moth sitting in the same tree as him. Bringing the moth close to his face, he whispers to it, then blows it gently, causing it to flutter away.
The Wargs cease their growling and turn as the White Warg, with Azog on its back, approaches slowly. Thorin looks at Azog in shock. Devon and his friends also saw the Pale Orc and they were just as shocked as Thorin was to see him alive.
"Azog?!" Thorin gasps
As his White Warg growls, Azog strokes it with his claw-arm and talks ominously.
"Nuzdigid? Nuzdi gast? (Do you smell it? The scent of fear?)" Azog asks
Thorin continues to stare at Azog in shock.
"Ganzilig-i unarug obod nauzdanish, Thorin undag Thráin. (I remember your father reeked of it, Thorin, son of Thráin.)" Azog says
Thorin looks stricken with pain and grief, realizing that Azog had captured his father.
"It cannot be." Thorin gasps
Azog speaks to his Wargs and Riders, pointing his mace at Thorin.
"Kod, Toragid biriz. Woraga-di! (That one is mine. Kill the others!)" Azog says
The Wargs leap forward and try to climb the trees. They jump as high as they can, scrabbling at the tree trunks and breaking apart branches in their jaws in their effort. The trees shake violently at the assault, and the group struggle to hold on.
"Sho gad adol! (Drink their blood!)" Azog says
With the weight of the Wargs climbing it, the furthest tree from the edge of the cliff, which Bilbo and several other Dwarves were on, gets uprooted from the ground and begins leaning wildly. As more Wargs grab onto it, the tree tips over and lands on the next tree. The Dwarves and Bilbo jump from the falling tree to the next. However, this tree as well as the others fall over over like dominoes. Devon and his friends along with the Dwarves, Bilbo, and Gandalf manage to jump onto the last tree, on the very edge of the cliff. Luckily, this tree didn't fall over. Azog laughs, knowing that the group was trapped.
Looking around in desperation, Gandalf spies a pinecone. He grabs it and uses his staff to set the pinecone on fire. He then throws it down at the Wargs, who retreat in fear of the fire. Azog is startled and angry at the unexpected resistance. Gandalf lights two more pinecones and throws one down to Fili.
"Fili!" Gandalf calls out
Fili catches the pinecone. Devon, the Viking Teens, Bilbo and the Dwarves gather pinecones and Gandalf sets them on fire. They then throw the flaming pinecones like missiles at the Wargs. All the area around the tree sets on fire, forcing the Wargs to retreat. One Warg gallops away with it's fur alight in flames. Azog roars in anger and frustration as the Dwarves cheer.
Suddenly, the cheers turn into cries of fear as the roots of the tree they are in start to give way. The tree tips precariously over the edge of the cliff, but comes to a stop sticking straight out away from the edge of the cliff. Gandalf looks down and sees the ground far, far, below. The Dwarves try to hold on as they get flung around. Ori loses his grip on the tree and falls, but manages to grab on to Dori's leg.
"Mister Gandalf!" Dori calls out
Because of the extra weight, Dori loses his grip on the tree and falls, but Gandalf quickly swings his staff down and Dori grabs onto it
"Hold on, Ori!" Dori yells
Azog growls, seeing that the group was clinging for dear life. Thorin, clinging to the tree, looks at Azog in hatred and anger. Thorin pulls himself up with his sword drawn, and walks down the leaning trunk as Devon, Bilbo and the others watch. Thorin runs through the burning ground at Azog and his White Warg. Azog spreads his arms wide out with a smug grin on his face. Thorin growls as he runs with his sword up and his oaken branch shield held infront of him. Azog crouches, then roars as his Warg leaps at Thorin. Thorin tries to swing his sword, but the Warg hits him in the chest with its forepaw, smashing him to the ground. The group looks on in shock. As Thorin gets back on his feet, panting, Azog and his White Warg wheel around and charge at Thorin again. Azog swings his mace and smashes Thorin in the face before he could react. Thorin was flung to the ground by the impact.
"No!" Balin cries out
Azog roars in excitement. Bilbo manages to stand up on the tree. The White Warg clamps its jaws around Thorin and he yells in pain.
"Thorin!" Dwalin cries out
Dwalin tries to get off and tree to assist Thorin, but the tree branches he is holding on to break, swinging him precariously over the edge
As the White Warg holds Thorin in it's mouth, Thorin manages to hit it's head with the pommel of his sword. The White Warg throws Thorin several feet away onto a flat rock nearby. Thorin lands with his sword falling out of his hand. He was almost unconscious.
"Biriz torag khobdudol. (Bring me the Dwarf's head.)" Azog says
One of Azog's Warg Riders jumps off his Warg and approaches Thorin. Bilbo sees this and pull out his sword, which glows blue. The Orc approaches Thorin and places it's sword against his neck. Thorin saw this and tried to reach for his sword, but he was too weak. Raising the sword, the Orc prepares to decapitate Thorin.
As the Orc swings his sword down, Bilbo throws himself at the Orc and knocks him over. Bilbo manages to stab and kill the Orc. As Azog growls in anger, Thorin goes unconscious. Pulling his sword out of the dead Orc, Bilbo stands infront of Thorin and protects him. He waves his sword wildly at Azog and the other Wargs. Azog smiles in hatred.
"Golri dun. (Kill him.)" Azog says
A couple of Wargs and Orc Riders approach Bilbo, snarling. Before they could proceed any further, Devon's Keyblade hits the ground, directly infront of the Wargs and their riders, making them stop surprised. Azog and his riders look up and see Devon leaping high into the air, directly infront of the full moon, and land infront of Bilbo, crouched down to the ground. The Legendary Keyblade Master rises up on his feet and extends his right-hand out, summoning his Keyblade: Soul Calibur back into his hand, narrowing his eyes at Azog, the Defiler. Luna lands alongside Devon and Bilbo, curling her body around them, snarling and growling at Azog and his riders. Azog growls as he saw Devon and Luna standing against him.
Suddenly, Fili, Kili, and Dwalin who managed to get off the tree, plow into the Wargs from the side and start fighting them. In the confusion, Bilbo yells and charges forward, wounding a Warg. The White Warg hits Bilbo with it's head and sends him flying.
As the fighting around them continues, Azog and his White Warg approach Bilbo to finish him. Devon and Luna saw that Bilbo got knocked back by Azog and his White Warg and quickly quickly rushed to Bilbo's aid, moved infront of the Hobbit, protecting him from the Pale Orc and his Warg. The White Warg snarls at the duo and Luna roars back. Devon jumps onto Luna's back and they both charge at Azog and his Warg.
As soon as they were in reach, Azog swings his mace at Devon, attempting to knock him off the back of his Night Fury, but he ducks down and avoids getting hit. Devon counters the attack with a swipe at Azog's side, making him cry out in pain. Azog roars out in anger, turns around, and swings his mace down at Devon and Luna, but they jump to the left, dodging the blow. Devon and Azog swing their weapons back and forth at each other, parrying each other's blows.
Although Azog was a very dangerous fighter, he had never fought great warriors like Devon before. The Dwarves were amazed at seeing Devon go up against the Pale Orc. Even Gandalf himself was amazed by this. They never thought Devon would be brave enough to stand up against the dreadful Orc.
Azog swings his mace down at Devon, but he holds his Keyblade up in defense and blocks the blow. The two warriors were then caught in a blade-lock. Azog pushed down on Devon, forcing Luna back slightly. However, working together with Luna, Devon manages to push back the Pale Orc and his White Warg. Devon soon swings Azog's mace away and delivers a harsh blow to his right-side, making him cry out in pain.
A sudden strike from the Pale Orc turned the battle to his favor. Letting out a loud roar, Azog struck Devon with a direct hit at his chest, knocking him off Luna's back and sending him rolling across the ground, stopping only a few feet infront of Bilbo. Luna watched in horror as her love and rider was struck by Azog. The White Warg attempted to bite Luna while she looked away, but the female Night Fury quickly took notice and jumped back, away from the jaws of the Warg. Devon laid on his right-side infront of Bilbo who laid back against a log. Luna curled her body infront of Devon and Bilbo, defending them both from Azog and the White Warg as they approached them.
Fili, Kili, and Dwalin have been surrounded by Wargs, and Devon, Luna and Bilbo were at Azog's mercy.
Suddenly, the moth returns to Gandalf. Dori slips from the end of Gandalf's staff, and Dori and Ori fall toward the ground far below. An Eagle swoops out of nowhere and catches them on it's back. They yell in fear as they are carried swiftly away. Several more Eagles appear and join the fray. Some of the Eagles grab the Wargs and Orcs and toss them over the cliff. Others knock down trees, which crush the Wargs below them. Another Eagle fans the flames with it's wings, causing an inferno which burns the Wargs. Azog snarls in frustration.
One Eagle gently grabs Thorin and his sword in it's talons and flies away. As Thorin was lifted off the ground, his oaken branch shield slips off his arm and lands on the ground. Azog roars and jumps back as an Eagle flies by him. The Eagle heads straight for Bibo and snatches him off the ground. It then throws Bilbo, and he screams as he falls toward the ground, only to land on the back of another Eagle. The rest of the Eagles proceed to snatch the Dwarves out of the tree and fly away. Devon jumps onto Luna's back and takes off into the air with the Eagles. Spyro, Cynder, the Viking Teens and their dragons jump off the tree and they fly into the air, joining Devon and Luna and the Eagles. When only Gandalf was left in the tree, the roots give way and the tree falls off the edge of the cliff. Gandalf leaps clear of it and was caught by an Eagle.
As Devon and his friends and the Eagles fly away with the company, Azog and the few Warg Riders left growl in anger and frustration.
(Moments later)
It was now morning as the sun started to rise in the horizon. After escaping the Orcs, Devon and his friends soar through the sky with the Eagles going over a great distance and over many landscapes. Thorin lies unconscious in one Eagle's talons. The group looks worried at Thorin.
"Thorin!" Fili cries out
The group approach a massive rock structure shaped like a bear. This structure was known as the Carrock. The Eagle carrying Thorin gently sets him and his sword on a flat area on top of the Carrock. Another Eagle lands on the Carrock and Gandalf slides off it's neck, running toward Thorin.
"Thorin!" Gandalf says
Gandalf reaches Thorin and kneels down to him.
"Thorin." Gandalf says
Devon, Luna and Bilbo run up to check on Thorin. Gandalf places his hand on Thorin's face and whispers a spell under his breath. Thorin's eyes flutter open and he gasps for air.
"The Halfling?" Thorin asks weakly
"It's all right. Bilbo is here. He's quiet safe." Gandalf says
"And the Keyblade Master?" Thorin asks weakly
"He's here too." Gandalf says
The other Dwarves land on the Carrock, and they surround Thorin. Spyro, Cynder, the Viking Teens and the dragons land behind Devon, Luna and Bilbo. Dwalin and Kili help Thorin up. Once he was on his feet, Thorin shrugs them off and approaches Devon and Bilbo.
"What were you doing? You nearly got yourself killed! Did I not say that you would be a burden? That you would not survive in the wild and that you had no place amongst us?" Thorin says
Thorin advances until he was face-to-face with Bilbo who looks worried and frightened.
"I've never been so wrong in all my life!" Thorin says
Thorin grabs Bilbo and embraces him deeply. The other Dwarves cheer loudly and slap each other on the back. Gandalf smiles. Bilbo hugs Thorin back. After hugging Bilbo, Thorin looks at Devon and places his hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you, Devon." Thorin says
Devon smiles and nods. Thorin looks back at Bilbo
"I am sorry I doubted you." Thorin says
"No, I would have doubted me too. I'm not a hero or a warrior...not even a burglar." Bilbo says
Everyone chuckles upon hearing this. The Eagles fly away, screeching. Thorin looks beyond Bilbo and sees something in the distance. He strides forward, and the others follow his gaze.
"Is that what I think it is?" Bilbo asks
In the distance, on the horizon, the group sees the outline of a single, solitary mountain.
"Erebor, The Lonely Mountain. The last of the great Dwarf kingdoms of Middle-earth." Gandalf says
"Our home." Thorin says
A bird cheeps and flies by.
"A Raven! The birds are returning to the mountain." Óin says
"That, my dear Óin, is a thrush." Gandalf says
"But we'll take it as a sign, a good omen." Thorin says
"You're right. I do believe the worst is behind us." Bilbo says
The company continue to look at the Lonely Mountain as the sun comes up behind them.
The thrush flies across the plains near the mountain, flying infront of the ruined gates of Erebor, and then finally lands on a rock on the side of the mountain. It picks up a snail in it's beak and bangs the snail shell against the side of the mountain. Inside the mountain, a massive pile of gold, coins, jewels, and treasures was piled up in the throne room, and the sounds of the thrush echo through the massive chambers. Some of the gold was blown away, revealing Smaug's snout beneath the pile. As Smaug slowly raises his head from beneath the pile, more treasure falls away from his face. Suddenly, his closed eye opens, and Smaug growls.
Author's Note: Devon and his friends had managed to escape the Goblins, but then they had to deal with Azog and his hunting party of Orcs and Wargs. The group flee from the Orcs, but they soon got trapped with no way out. Then, they meet Azog, the Defiler himself. Thorin tries to take on Azog, but was severely wounded. Devon and his friends jump into action and fight valiantly against Azog and his Warg Riders. They soon receive help from the Eagles and they manage to escape. Now, it's time we move on to the Desolation of Smaug where Devon and his friends shall encounter Smaug, the Terrible. By the way, I watched the new E3 trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3 and I got a good feeling that it will be coming out soon. Also, I've been updating Kingdom Hearts: World Conquest with some fixes and changes. So far, chapters 1 - 56 have been updated. I'll continue with my updates on the story once I've finished with this. Feel free to look over it. Let me know what you guys think. No flames please. Hope you guys like and don't forget to review!
