It is nighttime. Men stand ready and armed on the battlements of Helms Deep and along the top of the Deeping Wall Elves are lined up. They watch as the Uruk-hai armies advance with lit torches. Legolas, Stiles, and Gimli stand next to each other on the Deeping Wall.

Gimli was jumping up and down to see over the wall. He was way too short to see anything. "You could have picked a better spot."He told the two causing Stiles to snort and Legolas to smirk. Aragorn walks through the Elves and stops behind Stiles, Legolas, and Gimli.

"Well, lad, whatever luck you live by, let's hope it lasts the night."Gimli says. Lightning struck as thunderclaps. "We're with you, My Love."Legolas told his mate as Stiles gave him a good luck kiss. "Let's hope they last the night."Gimli comments.

Aragorn smiles, kisses Legolas, and walks away. Stiles summoned the Oni like Void had told him to. He doesn't know why, but he's starting to be very fond of them. They stood behind him as lightning flashes and thunder rumbled through the skies.

Rain starts to fall, the drops can be heard falling on the metal armor of Théoden and his soldiers.  "Yay, rain, such a dramatic effect."Stiles says blandly. Uruk-hai armies draw closer. The women and crying children in the caves can hear their advancing footsteps and look up in fear.

As the Uruk-hai reach Helms Deep, an Uruk captain stands on a rock and raises his hand. "-Dano i faelas a hyn...an uben tanatha le faelas!"Aragorn tells the Elves as he walks amongst the lines of them. (Show them no mercy...for you shall receive none!)

The Captain Uruk raises his hand and signals for the Uruk to stop moving forward. The people in the caves wonder at the silence. The Uruks grunt and growl. Gimli jumps up and down trying to see over the wall still. "What's happening out there?"Gimli asks the two mates.

"Shall I describe it to you? Or would you like me to find you a box?"Legolas asked with a grin. Stiles hits his arm with an eye roll. Gimli laughs. The Uruk-hai begin stamping their spears on the ground in unison and beating their chests. "They're so dramatic."Stiles comments.

Aragorn takes out his sword and holds it in front of him. The men load their bows and draw them back ready to fire. An old man loses his grip on his arrow and it shoots an Uruk in the neck. "New that was going to happen."Stiles mumbles as he loads his bow. Aragorn holds his hand up.

"Dartho!"He shouts. (Hold!) The Uruk falls to the ground dead. The others growl ferociously. The Captain Uruk thrusts forward his scimitar and shouts and the Uruk-hai advance upon Helm's Deep at a run. "So it begins."Théoden says as he stood overlooking the battle with his captains.

"Tangado a chadad!"Aragorn shouts to the Elves. (Prepare to fire!) The Elves load and aim their bows. Stiles aims his bow as Legolas does the same. "Their armour is weak at the neck...and beneath the arm."Legolas says. "Yes, sir."Stiles says causing Legolas' lips to quirk up.

"Leithio i philinn!"Aragorn commands. (Release arrows!) Arrows rain down on the Uruks and many fall dead. "Did they hit anything?"Gimli asks Legolas and Stiles. "Give them a volley."Théoden told Gamling. Gamling throws his arm forward. "Fire!"He shouts.

"Fire!"An old man also shouts. More arrows hit the Uruks killing many. Aragorn raises his sword to the Elves on the ground behind the Deeping Wall. "Ribed bant!"He shouts to them. (Full volley!) More Uruks fall from the onslaught of arrows, but more come.
