Elves and Dwarves (part 2)

Orcs

Tauriel strode up to the empty cells and addressed the other elven guards.

"Where is the keeper of the keys?"

In the cellar, Bilbo frantically ran back and forth and stomps on the ground, trying to make the floor tip again. Tauriel and her elves ran towards the cellar.

"Tolo hi!" She yelled

[Come now!]

Just as Tauriel and the guards got close to the cellar. Draco who was running just ahead of them, out of sight, came running at Bilbo. At the extra weight, the floor tipped and Bilbo fell into the river, yelling. He surfaced and grabbed onto Nori's barrel. Draco managed to swing into a nearby tree. Thorin and the company, still were in their barrels and had been waiting for him.

"Well done, Master Baggins." He said

Bilbo, half drowned, waved his hand in thanks and managed to splutter out a word.

"Go."

"Come on, let's go." Thorin said

The dwarves paddled with their hands as the river pulled their barrels along. Draco following the dwarves by running along the trees branches that hang beside the river. Elves rushed along passages in the Woodland Realm. The dwarves emerged into the sunlight, and Thorin saw a waterfall right in front of them.

"Hold on!" Thorin yelled

The dwarves, Bilbo, and the barrels plunged through the rapids, then floated swiftly down the raging river. Legolas, followed by other elves, emerged from a gateway and saw them floating away.

"Holo in-annon!" He ordered

[Shut the gate!]

An elf with him blowed on a horn; as the dwarves rounded a corner in the river, they saw a guardpost built above the river. The heavily armored elves who stood on guard there heard the horn and came to attention. One of them pulled a lever, causing a heavy metal sluice gate to block the river. The dwarves in their barrels came to a stop at the gate, unable to float further.

"No!" Thorin Yelled

The barrels piled into each other and the elven guards drew their swords, but one was suddenly shot in the back with a black arrow. Several growling orcs swarmed over the guardpost, killing the elves. Multitudes of orcs ran in from the bushes, with Bolg.

"Watch out! Those are orcs!" Bofur called

"Gorid! Zib! Goridug!" Bolg commanded

[Slay them all!]

The orcs began throwing themselves at the dwarves in their barrels. Bilbo managed to kill one with Sting, and Dwalin elbowed another in the face. Kili looked up and saw the lever the elven guard had pulled earlier. He manages to get out of his barrel and runs up the stairs toward the lever. Unarmed, he ducked as an Orc swings at him. Seeing him defenseless, Draco jumped down and began backing him.

"Kili!" Dwalin called

Dwalin, who had managed to grab a sword from one of the elves or orcs, threw it to Kili, who then fought his way to the top of the stairs with Draco close behind him. As Kili fought an orc, another one leapt up from behind him, raising its spear to stab him. Draco threw a short sword or dagger and killed the orc, allowing Kili to fight his own opponent and kill it. Bolg, noticing Kili, pulled his bow and arrows from his back. As Kili reached for the lever, Bolg fired an arrow, which hit Kili in the calf. Kili stopped short, panting.

"Kili!" Fili yelled

Kili groaned in pain and strained to pull the lever, but fell over onto his back. Bolg strung another arrow. Thorin looked shocked.

"Kili." He whispered

An orc leapt over to kill Kili, but an arrow suddenly flew into its head. Kili looked over and saw Tauriel running through the bushes. She shot another orc, then killed others with her knife.

"Gor'-ash! Gor golginul! "Bolg ordered

[Kill her! Kill the She-Elf!]

Several orcs rushed at Tauriel. Legolas and other elves appeared from the bushes and shot them down. As Tauriel, Legolas, and the other elves fought the orcs, Kili managed to grab the lever and pull it, opening the sluice get and letting the dwarves in their barrels through. He then fell on his back again in pain. The dwarves in barrels fell down another waterfall and floated down the river. Bolg saw them.

[Bolg:] "Khozdayin obguryash! Abgurid!" [Subtitle: After them!]

[Fili:] "Kili!"

Kili managed to slide himself off the ledge and into his empty barrel below with Draco's help. As he landed in it, the shaft of the arrow in his leg broke off on the edge of the barrel. Tauriel distractedly looked over at him and was attacked by an orc, but she managed to kill the orc. The remaining dwarves and Bilbo plunged over the waterfall and continued floating down the rushing river, as Bolg and his orcs followed the river on land.

Legolas,Tauriel and the other elves spotted Draco who was a bit preoccupied with defending herself from several orcs. Before They could do anything, Draco managed to kill the last one.

Draco turned to jump into the river below when legolas shouted.

"Dár!" He shouted as he waved his hand, signaling the elves to ready their bows and aim at her.

Freezing, Draco turned her head to look at him. The two started at each other. Suddenly her image flickered like mist. She suddenly appeared to be his height. Her hair was longer and fell just past her hips. Her eyes were brighter and the tattoo on her collarbone shone brightly.

Legolas couldn't help but stare at the beautiful elleth.
Caught off guard one of the elves released their arrows. Flying through the air it burrows itself deep in Draco's left calf.

Her figure flickered again and she was her normal self. Snarling in pain she sent one last look at Legolas before she dived off the gate and into the water below.

Down below the dwarves tried to paddle and steer with their hands, but to no avail. the river was running too wild. As they came to a narrow part of the river, orcs on either side began shooting arrows at them. Meanwhile, back at the guardpost, Tauriel continued fighting orcs. Legolas leapt to the top of the guardpost as well and searched for the girl.

In the river, an orc leapt
at Thorin in his barrel, but he managed to kill it with a sword he grabbed earlier. Tauriel, Legolas, and the other elves ran after the orcs chasing the dwarves, shooting them. An orc jumped from an overhanging tree branch toward Balin, but Thorin threw his sword and pined the orc to the tree; as the orc dropped its weapon, Thorin caught it while floating beneath him, and he threw back to Bombur, who threw it to Nori, who threw it to Fili, who killed an orc with it. An orc leapt onto Dwalin barrel, only for Dwalin to headbutt it off and steal its axe. The dwarves saw a low-hanging tree branch stretched across the river in front of them, with several orcs on it.

"Cut the log!" Thorin commanded

As he floated under it, Thorin hit it with his sword, then Bofur hit it with his weapon, and Dwalin, right behind him, hit the branch with his axe, breaking it and causing the orcs on it to fall into the river. Bilbo managed to climb atop a floating barrel where Draco joined him, her calf bleeding heavily.

"Bombur!" Dwalin called

Dwalin threw his axe to Bombur, who killed an orc that had just jumped onto his barrel. The Orc's spear ended up pinning it to an overhanging tree branch; the other end of the spear caught onto Bombur's barrel and catapulted it through the air and onto the riverbank, where the barrel rolled and trampled multitudes of orcs. The barrel flipped through the air to the other side of the river, where it trampled more orcs. Eventually, the barrel came to a stop, and orcs surround it; however, Bombur kicked out the bottom, then sticked his arms holding axes through the sides. He then started spinning rapidly with the axes extended, mowing down all the orcs around him. He then ran towards the river, tossed his axe to one of the floating dwarves, then gracefully jumped into an empty barrel.
