Escaping Moria

They wandered in the lightened corridor as they followed Gimli and Gandalf. They find traces of Dwarves as they followed the path marked by them until they arrived at what looked like a tomb.

Gimli sees the tomb and touches it not believing what he saw as corpses were around the tomb as if they were protecting the tomb until their last breath.

"Here lies Balin, son of Fundin," says Gandalf sad about the fact that a friend of his was dead without him knowing it.

John picked a book up that a dead Dwarf was holding. He reads it before passing it to Gandalf while he walked to the grave.

He pushed the stone covering the grave making Gimli go mad, "Don't you have respect for the dead. Leave them alone."

Gimli picked his ax up and hit John in the abdomen finding out that John's muscles were harder than his steel as they stopped his ax.

"You will need a better ax and Balin was buried with Durin's Ax. This would give you a trump card in a deciding fight like the one we will have in a moment," says John feeling that they are being spied on.

"The thing spying on us is Gollum. Don't worry about it. It isn't dangerous to our group," says Gandalf as Nesiara shakes her head.

"He doesn't mean the mutated Hobbit but the Goblins around us," says Nesiara as the group now became alerted.

John took Durin's Ax from the corpse of Balin and gave it to Gimli before closing sealing it while saying, "May Abigail guide you to eternal rest."

"Abigail?" asks Aragorn as he was holding his new sword called Andúril.

"My Great-Grandmother, Abigail Hawke. She became the God of Life and Death when Logan became the Godking. She was many subordinates as they help her manage all the worlds," says Nesiara as she had Queen in her hand.

Legolas was holding his bow while the Hobbits were holding their new swords while Frodo's sword began to shine. Gandalf had his sword and staff in his hands prepared for what was coming while Boromir was near the Hobbits holding his sword.

Gimli was holding Durin's Ax while the twins had their weapon in hands. John was holding the Kings as he was feeling with the Force where the enemy was.

"We are surrounded," says John as the group seemed to lose morale while Bran walked forward.

"Good, finally a good fight," says Bran with a smile as he wanted to take his eye-patch off when Nesiara stops him with a hit of Queen against his hand.

"Do you want to break the whole cave with us in it," says Nesiara angry at her son.

"Sorry, the excitement of fighting," says Bran as Nora pierced the ground and two of her Knights appeared.

"Galahad and Lancelot, protect the Hobbits," says Nora as the bow.

"Yes, my lady," say Galahad and Lancelot as they stood beside the Hobbits.

"Fang, I want you in human-form for this," says John as Fang jumped down from John's shoulder turning into his human form and his White Tiger armor was around him.

Jinx did the same as she was in her Phoenix Armor. They surprised the group but then a group of goblins rushed into the tomb.

A fight broke out between the Fellowship and the goblins as they could prevent them from entering the tomb when Gandalf shouts, "We can't stay here!"

The group was confused as they defended the tomb perfectly when John says, "He is right. We are sitting ducks here."

He walked to an entrance to the tomb and says, "Fang open us a path. The others will follow you."

"Bran you stay in the rear it is time for you to use your gift. I will be with you," says John as Bran smiled.

Fang rushed through the side-entrance plowing a path out of goblin corpses with the group finishing off the still living goblins between the corpses so they could inform of their location.

The only ones left in the tomb were John and Bran. John opened all entrances and closed the side-entrance that the others used to escape.

The goblins stormed the tomb again but they didn't expect that this time only two people remained. Bran gave them a smile that froze them in place as he put his left hand on the Black Chains surrounding his right underarm and hand.

He removed the chain and stretched his right hand out as a black hole was visible on his palm and began to suck in all the goblins rushing into the tomb. John was making sure that no one attacked Bran from behind.

The goblins outside the tomb tried to escape but the black hole showed no mercy as they all got pulled in until no goblin remained and Bran put the chains around his right underarm and hand again sealing his black hole.

"This should buy us enough time. Let's reunite with the others," says John as Bran seemed to collapse.

John caught him and finds his son sleeping and says, "Good Job. Now let me bring you to your mother."

He puts Bran on his shoulder and sees Koltox worry about his master making John say, "Don't worry your master will be alright after a good nap."

Koltox jumps onto the other shoulder of John when John begins to walk in the direction the group should be when trolls blocked his way.

"I don't have time to deal with you," says John as a club came for him and John caught it.

"You want to play, fine," says John as he disappeared from their eyesight and appeared again behind them while his body was giving off a bit of lightning.

The trolls were still standing when their heads were falling to the ground first before their bodies followed and John says, "I told you, I have no time to play around."

John continues on his path when he finds the group fighting another group of goblins and trolls while a demon made out of flames was fighting Nesiara.

In the meantime John and Bran were dealing with the goblins in the tomb, the group was going quite fast when Gimli says, "We shouldn't leave them behind."

"Don't worry, some goblins can't kill my master," says Fang as they walked through the cave system searching for an exit.

"He is right, Bran should easily take care of the goblins," says Celine with confidence as they arrived at a bridge.

"We need to pass this bridge and we should be able to escape this place," says Gandalf as he felt something unnatural approach them.

"Run!" shouts Nesiara as she pushes everyone onto the bridge as she took the rear with Gandalf.

The group was running over the bridge when Gandalf looks at Nesiara and says, "You felt it too."

"Yes, it's a flame demon," says Nesiara with confidence as they were about to pass the bridge when on the other side goblins and trolls were blocking their path.

"We need to get rid of the goblins and trolls or we won't be able to advance. I will deal with Durin's Bane," says Gandalf giving the demon a name.

"No, you should help the others cross the bridge. I will deal with the flame demon," says Nesiara as her body began to ignite while she was holding Queen.

The flame demon came out of the deep as he jumped on the bridge. He rushed at the group killing goblins and trolls as he approached them.

Nesiara took a closer look at the demon and says, "He looks like a black horned demon if it wasn't for his flame body."

It shouted directly at Nesiara who just waves at him while saying, "Your breath stinks, didn't you know that. Let me put you down for good. Maybe John could use your body to create something useful."

The demon enraged by Nesiara attacked her only to find out that Nesiara blocked his attack easily when Nesiara asks, "What did you expect me to grumble under your strength?"

She pushes the hand of the demon back and smiles while saying, "I fought enemies tougher than you."

She rushed at the demon and surprised the demon that she could cut him with her spear as she says, "You didn't expect it did you. Queen is a very powerful Spear made out of a part of my soul. She can cut into souls and kill the soul without harming the body if needed, big boy."

The demon attacks again only to miss his attack and Nesiara punished it by cutting its arm off making it fall into the abyss while lava fell onto the bridge making it unstable.

At that moment John arrived with Bran and says, "You are having fun it seems."

"Is Bran alright?" asks Nesiara as John nods.

"He needs to sleep for a while," says John as he smiled when he sees that the goblins and trolls on the other side seemed to have been defeated slowly but surely.

"Too bad that Celine can't use her power in the cave since the sun isn't shining down upon her," says John as the demon felt angry that the two were having a normal conversation while he was present.

The demon attacked only for John to stop his attack with one finger while saying coldly, "Be happy that my wife wanted to play with you a bit. She could have annihilated you from the very beginning."

"I will leave now help the others before the bridge breaks," says John as he disappeared from his position.

"You heard my husband. I don't have more time to play with you so let's make it fast," says Nesiara as Queen began to be surrounded by molten magma and she transformed into her TDT and showed the demon how a real demon looked like as she killed it slicing the bridge apart by accident.

She turned back as she floated over the crumbling bridge while the group was fighting against rogue goblins and trolls that were now cut off from their allies on the other side.

John arrives at Nora's side and asks, "How is the situation?"

"It's under control. Boromir protected the Hobbits with my knights while Legolas and Gandalf were giving Gimli, Aragorn, and Celine back-up with range attacks," says Nora as she was controlling the flow of the battle from the backline.

She would intervene if something were too dangerous for the group. They killed the goblins and troll before they fell exhausted to the ground.

"We need to move before they find a way towards us," says John when Nesiara joins them.

"He is right. We don't know how many tunnels the cave system has, they could be already on their way to get us," says Nesiara as she could see the goblins and trolls running in the same direction.

"*breath in* We should move," says Aragorn as he helped Gimli up while Celine helped Legolas.

Boromir was a bit exhausted as he and the knights were killing the goblins that came through to protect the Hobbits.

Gandalf was exhausted as well but had his staff to share his burden. Jinx and Fang turned back into their fluffy form and sat on their partner's shoulders making Fang share a shoulder with Koltox for now.

They found a way out of Moria as they continued walking with the night sky over their heads because they didn't want to camp beside the entrance.

They arrived beside a river and John says, "We should rest here. It's is far enough from the entrance and we will have to walk the river down from here to our next objective."
