Marching out onto the battlefield, the armies of Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Mutants. All united over a common enemy, now waiting in anticipation. Thorin stood at the forefront of his army, in his Titanium armor brandishing the royal colors. His raven black hair is picked up by the wind every now and then. To his left stood his cousin, Lord Dain. Closer still to Thorin stood Dwalin. The remainder of the Company standing directly behind their King.
On Thorin's right stood Logan, wearing his brown boots, blue jeans white widow maker, and brown leather jacket. Smoking a cigar with his arms crossed. The whole time sniffing the air and scanning the horizon. Thorin kept glancing behind him anxiously until he felt a hand upon his shoulder.
"Thorin, you need to focus. Keep your mind here, and focus on what's going to be happening around you. You need to get it in your head that Alina and the baby are safe, don't worry about them. They're going to be fine, I promise." Logan tells Thorin in a stern voice.
Thorin turns to Logan and nods. "I know, Logan, you're right. I cannot help it."
Logan pats him on the back. "Well, you're going to have to help it, Bub. Don't make my job of protecting ya any harder than it's going to be. I promised Alina I'd keep you safe and that's what I'm going to do."
Thorin takes a deep breath and steels his nerves. He must believe that his wife and child will be fine, it finally occurred to him that worrying doesn't help anyone. He faces forward and instantly become the King Under the Mountain. He turns into the warrior he has always been. Logan nods his approval and pats him on the back. Thorin gives him a smirk.
Suddenly, Logan's head snaps up toward the Eastern slope of the mountain where Steve is at. "Head's up, Cap, the earth is being disturbed where you're at and a foul stench is seeping out. They should be breaking out anytime now."
Steve looked off in that direction, he couldn't see a difference but he would rely on Logan's nose and ears. "Roger that, Logan. Everyone else, get that?"
He heard from all over, "Roger that."
Steve looked up at Clint "Do you see anything, Hawkeye?"
Hawkeye looked around. "Nothing yet…wait I see some sort of disturbance on the mountain."
The armies became tense, Bobby was more excited than scared. "Well, It's time to change."
Quick as a flash he changed into Ice Man. Leaving the Elves in shock. Bobby began to make his Ice Slide and got a little bit ahead of the army of Elves until Lord Elrond called him back.
"It would be wise to keep you hidden until the actual battle so you can take them by surprise." Bobby nodded in agreement.
On Thorin's command, the Armies began to move out. It was a grand sight to see the three armies following the King Under the Mountain into battle. With the of the King's friend Captain America. His wife's Mutant friends and the Avengers. What Thorin didn't know was that there was yet another army standing by from yet another world just waiting for the command.
As they marched up the field, Thor comes closer to Steve to inform him. "Steve, if this battle seems lost, I have permission from the All-Father to bring down the forces of Asgard. This evil can not prevail, and The All-Father likes Alina so he will not let her suffer."
Steve is taken aback. "Are you serious?"
Thor chuckled, "Yes, he once considered her a bride for me, but my heart belongs to Jane Foster and her's was still searching."
Meanwhile, the Men of Dale were very nervous and scared about what they were about to face. Scott took it upon himself to give them courage. "I know you're scared, I'm scared too. But you must steel your nerves and remember what, or rather, who your fighting for. Your wives, your mothers, your sons, and daughters. You have to imagine what the Orcs will do to them if they get a hold of them. Can you live with yourselves if that happens?"
A strong "NO!" erupted from the race of Men.
"I won't lie to you some of you may die, but you died protecting your loved ones. And I will help in all that I can." And with that Scott adjusted his visor and was ready.
The large army reached, as safely as the could, where the Orcs would emerge. They were to be taken by surprise and attacked almost immediately. If Steve remembered correctly the Eastern slope would break open first. He immediately had the Elves create a barricade with pikes sticking through the shields, much like in the movie. Thorin had that done the same all along the line with the armies prepared behind the shield. Thorin heard Logan put out his Cigar in his palm and smell burning flesh.
Thorin gave him a weird look. "Doesn't that hurt?"
Logan shook his head "Nah, used to it besides, I wanted to freak you out." Logan said with a smirk.
Thorin rolls his eyes.
Suddenly Logan looks to the Eastern slope. He unsheathes his claws and growls. "It's starting." Logan touches his communicator, "Bird boy, do you see anything?"
Hawkeye looks and there it is."Eew, it's the Were Worms, they're busting through on the Eastern slope first. And there's a little movement on the Western. Here they come, guys!"
The Orcs came out of the tunnels with all the confidence in the world, expecting to have enough time to organize their ranks. But they were met with a different sight. The Armies of Men, Elves, and Dwarves were not as disorganized as they were led to believe and in the distance the could see the King Under the Mountain leading his armies.
The Orcs had no other choice, with the death of the Bolg and Azog not around, they did what they did best, they rushed headlong into battle. With a great cry and screams, they rushed the armies.
"Disgusting," Thor said wrinkling his nose, as he twirled his hammer.
"What did they say?" Thor looked at Steve.
"Some things a gentleman should never repeat." Then he took off into the air conjuring up lighting and blasting the Orc army.
As the Orc army got closer, the wall of Dwarves stood their ground. The Orc army ran toward the wall of shields thinking they could crash through, but at the last minute the Dwarves raised pikes and the Orcs impaled themselves on them. The first line retreated only to replaced by a second line for the next wave of unsuspecting Orcs. This was done several more time until the Orcs finally caught on and with their own pikes began to skewer the dwarves.
With that, Thorin and the infantry entered the battle, but not before Logan called Alina. "You need to start teleporting, there are a lot of wounded, Thorin won't see you."
She agreed and vanished.
The healers were already out there picking up the wounded but they only had so many stretchers. "Don't worry I can get them there faster, you go back and be ready."
Alina took a piece of her apron and sliced into ribbons so she could bind their hand together. Then she would take a hand and teleport them to the healing tent. There, each healer would take a patient. She would take the most serious one. With her powers, she was able to heal into no time. The hard part was to convince the Dwarf to stay put.
"You're still hurt, Master Dwarf," it was a lie of course, "you need to rest."
The Dwarf huffed at her. "I feel fine, now let me pass."
Alina sighed. "If you rest for 10 minutes, I'll let you go." He agreed. She put water shackles on him so he would stay.
Once his ten minutes were up he took off screaming "Baruk khazad ai-menu!"
Bruce comes up to Alina as asks "What does that mean?" Bruce asked.
'The ax of the Dwarves are upon you!' Alina told him.
"Wow, that All Speak comes in handy."
Alina smiles "Not all the time."
Bruce was working in the healing tents when he heard on the communicators that Azog had sent Trolls to attack the City of Dale. That was all he needed to hear. "Alina, I need to go down to Dale, The city is being attacked by Trolls."
Alina nods. "Alright, but, wear a communicator."
Bruce gave Alina a smile took the communicator and walked calmly out of the tent.
Making his way to Dale, Bruce saw the Trolls pounding on the gates and charging the walls. He could hear the women and children screaming. And that was all it took. His anger came rushing to the surface like a bottle of champagne and suddenly the top popped off. He ripped his shirt off and instantly turned into the giant monster that is the Hulk. Hulk let out a mighty roar and began running toward the Troll at the gate when suddenly his feet faltered and he stopped.
There was a sort of ringing in his mind then a voice. *Hulk, this is Charles Xavier, do you remember me?*
Hulk nodded *I've come to aid you, to direct you. You must destroy all of the Orc, Goblins, and Trolls. Along with Wargs, Bats and any other evil thing that may come along.*
While Charles is explaining this he is also showing him what the enemy looks like. *Hulk, the Avengers, and The X-Men are also here so do not attack them. But, there are more people. There are Elves, Men, and Dwarves. These people you also do not attack, they are our allies.*
As before Charles show him images so he could recognize friend from foe. Hulk nodded his head in understanding and took off after the Troll at the gate. That whole explanation took less than 10 seconds.
Once he got to the gate Hulk roared at the Troll to get its attention. The dumb Troll looked from side to side then up then finally down at Hulk. The Troll towered over Hulk, but that didn't matter. Hulk was still going to smash. The Troll looked at Hulk with curious eyes.
"Who is this little fella?" The Troll knelt down to get a better look at Hulk. "Why, he looks like he couldn't hurt a fly."
The Troll reached out to pet Hulks head which pissed Hulk off to no end. With a mighty roar, he grabbed the trolls finger and slammed him into the ground leaving a Troll size crater. Then he grabbed him by the hand and flung him into the side of the mountain.
With a mighty leap, Hulk reached the unconscious trolled and stomped his head until what little brains the Troll had oozed out.
"Puny Troll," Hulk said and then rushed back to Dale to take on the other Troll.
By the time he reached it, The Troll had already broken through the walls of Dale. Hulk continues to fight his way into Dale
The Orcs and Trolls came rushing through the hole the now dead Troll had made and filled the streets. The clashing of swords and shields could be heard everywhere, but also a different sound no one in middle earth had ever heard before, gunshots. At first, it had startled everyone in their tracks but then the fighting resumed.
Natasha was a dead shot, making every bullet count. She had a full arsenal of weapons with her. She was prepared for anything, what she was not prepared for was to have a Troll come lumbering toward her intent on eating her. Just then a bolt of lightning hit the troll square in the head killing it. And for good measure Hulk stomped its head flat.
"Thanks, Storm, you too Big Guy," Hulk smirked and went after more orcs.
Storm and Natasha continued to work together as a team. Storm would create tornadoes and pick up Orcs and drop them over the cliffs or she would electrocute them with her lightning. While Natasha would booby trap streets and lead Orcs down there only to get blown to bits. She would also use her Widow Bites to electrocute them then kill them. At one point Storm covered an entire alley in a fog and Natasha went running in with 15 Orc soldiers following her. The Orcs were completely lost in the fog but this gave Natasha the chance to pick them off one by one using her shruikens without any problem. But she missed one that had come in after. The Orc slashed her in the leg, leaving a gaping wound. Storm hit it with a bolt of lightning before it could run Natasha through.
Storm landed and immediately applied pressure on the wound. "We need to call Alina to come heal this."
Natasha refused. "No, she needs to stay in the healing tents."
Stormed pressed harder on the wound causing Natasha to groan. "Nat, this is deep, you'll bleed to death. And don't you remember, the Orc blades are laced with poison. We need to call her before it spreads." Storm got on the communicator and called Alina.
Alina was in the process of healing an Elf when her communicator went off. "Talk to me." She said as she healed the Elf's belly wound.
"It's Storm, Nat's been hurt you need to come quick."
Alina wiped the sweat from her brow. "On my way."
She finished up with the Elf wrapped his minor wounds and teleported to Natasha. When she got there, Natasha was already running a fever and Storm was fighting off Orcs trying to protect Natasha.
"Get her out of here, I'll handle these guys." Storm yells.
Alina takes hold of Natasha and teleports back to the healing tents. From there she begins to heal Natasha's leg. It took some effort but Alina was finally able to draw out all the poison and heal Natasha's wound. Natasha's eyes flutter open.
"Thank god you're alive, Dwalin would have killed me if something happened to you," Alina says to Natasha. Nat tries to get up, "No you don't, Nat, you need to rest for a bit. I healed you but you still lost quite a bit of blood, so I can't let you go just yet."
Natasha huffs. "Fine, I'll stay for a while but the minute I feel better, I'm gone. Have you heard from anyone else?"
Alina shakes her head. "No, but I guess that's a good thing. I'm sorry I can't stay with you but there are more casualties coming in."
Alina gets up and is about to walk away when Natasha grabbed her hand. "You okay? You look a little pale?"
She smiles at Nat. "I'm fine just a little tired, that's all." With that, she left.
Hawkeye was on his perch and could see everything. The battle to him seemed to be evenly matched, he looked across the way and noticed none other than Legolas. He got a smug look on his face. Now he was going to have some real competition. Hawkeye began to take aim and shoot down as many Orcs as he could, his arrows never missed. He looked up briefly to see arrows raining down upon the Orcs with such precision that not a single ally was hit. He looked across the way and made eye contact with Legolas. They both smirked at each other. The game was on.
With his compound bow, Hawkeye could hit a target further away and with great accuracy, while Legolas was faster with his Elven bow and just as accurate. The big difference was that Hawkeye's toys had a little surprise at the end, explosives. Or once they hit their target they would shoot out at any other target nearby, killing more Orcs. But that wasn't the only thing he was doing. He was keeping Steve up to date as to the movement of the army.
"Cap, on your right side the Orcs are trying to flank your position."
Steve had the army turn and engage the enemy so they would not be surrounded. Hawkeye continued to fire into the crowds of Orcs as did the Elves slowly they began to thin out the division of Orcs.
Back in Dale, the fighting was fierce. The women and children were well hidden inside the Banquet Halls. Gandalf, Bilbo, and Professor Xavier were at the ready. But anytime an attempt was made to get in they would find themselves dissuaded to go somewhere else.
Gandalf looked at Xavier. "Your doing?" Charles on smiled and nodded.
The women and Children felt relatively safe having a wizard and a powerful mutant there to protect them.
But Sigrid was anxious, worried, and to be honest downright bored. She had dealt with Orcs before, she was positive she could do it again. She decided to sneak out and go help Fili. If not Fili, Alina in the healing tents. The point was she had to be useful.
As she was getting ready to slip away she heard in her thoughts. *This is not the safest course of action, my child*
Sigrid froze on the spot. Then she recognized the voice. *Professor, I can not sit here and be useless while my people suffer. Even you in that chair can still protect them, I have to go*
The professor sighed, *If you feel you must go, then go. But stay out of Fili's sight. He will become more reckless trying to protect you and your child and will get himself killed, understand?*
She gave him a nod and slipped away *Yes, sir.*
Meanwhile:
Fili, Kili, and Tauriel were fighting on top of the building against a horde of Orcs. They fought viciously, blood and limbs flying everywhere, eviscerated bodies crumbling to the ground. Decapitations, black blood spraying everywhere. Legs being cut off.
That is the scene that Sigrid encountered when she found Fili. He had just decapitated an Orc and got sprayed in the eyes with its blood, he was momentarily blinded. Another Orc taking, advantage, snuck up behind the Son Of Durin with his ax raised. All of Sigrid's fear manifested itself into one powerful move. She paralyzed the orc and with a twisting motion of her hand, twisted the Orc head clean off. Fili was finally able to get the blood out of his eyes when he turned around and saw the crumpled Orc, the first thing he assumed was that is was Alina.
"Alina, where are you?" he yelled.
But when there was no answer, it dawned on him who it was. "Sigrid!" Fili screamed, looking around frantically for her.
She panicked and ran for cover. Sigrid hid behind a pillar, not noticing an Orc coming up on her fast. Until it fell beside her, an arrow in its neck. Kili's aim was true.
Fili comes rushing to Sigrid's side, "What are you doing here?!" He asked angrily. "You are supposed to be with the other women and children, not risking your and the life of our child!"
Sigrid pulled Fili into an embrace. "I'm here to help and no matter what you say, Fili, I'm staying. If the other mutants are fighting then so am I."
Fili took her face in his hands. "They are seasoned warriors, they can handle these conditions, you have only fought the Orcs once and with help. You are not ready to be out here."
Sigrid was so angry that Fili had said these things to her, That with a mighty shove of her hands she tossed a troll of a cliff to its death. The other three just gawked at her.
"You were saying, my love?" Sigrid said with a smirk, that looked vaguely like Alina's. She was beginning to pick up Alina's attitude.
Fili's head dropped to his chest. "Fine but you stay with me, alright?"
Sigrid kissed Fili and nodded. Together they faced the Orc army.
They stood back up and immediately were attacked. Fili's instincts to protect his One kicked in. He shoved Sigrid behind him as an Orc came at them. Sigrid angrily shoved Fili aside, raised her hand to the Orc and froze him in place. Then with a thought, burst every organ in the Orc's body, she remembered what Alina had said to the Elven Prince. Black blood oozed from its nose ears and mouth, it fell to the ground dead.
She gave Fili a sharp look. "I am no helpless human, Fili! I am a mutant, I can take care of myself, do not worry."
Fili looked at her in awe, then shook his head. "I know you can, but I will always try to protect you."
Her face softened. "I know you will, but now is the time to protect the city and my people. You and I will protect each other."
He smiled. "Spoken like a true Princess of Erebor."
They ran off together in search of Kili and Tauriel. As they ran Sigrid would wave her hand and toss the Orcs clear over the city walls or freeze them in place and Fili would run them through. They reached Kili and Tauriel who on top of a building. They were being overrun. With a scream, Sigrid threw out her hands and launched half of the Orc after Kili and Tauriel, over the walls cliffs. Fili stared at Sigrid for a moment then took her hand and ran for his brother and soon to be Elf sister -in - law. He held onto Sigrid's hand as they ran up the stairs. They fought their way to the top of the building, killing and slamming Orcs into the building until they reached Kili and Tauriel. There they rested.
"How did you toss the Orcs over the cliffs, Sister?" Kili asked between gasps for air.
Sigrid blushed. "I was angry and my power increased and I just did it."
They all laughed until suddenly Sigrid gasped. They all looked at her and saw that she had an arrow sticking out of her shoulder close to her heart.
An Orc had shot her from some distance away, but Tauriel quickly loosed an arrow and shot it between the eyes.
Fili screamed. "Sigrid, no!"
She slumped in his arms, Fili carefully lowered her to the ground. "No, no, my love, no!" Fili was in full on panic.
Tauriel touched the communicator in her ear. "Alina, Sigrid has been shot."
Alina was about to sit down to rest when she heard Tauriel. "What?! What is Sigrid doing with you guys?!" She asked fearfully.
"No time to explain, you must come and treat her, the poison is spreading to her heart," Tauriel informed her.
Alina immediately disappeared and reappeared with Sigrid and the others. "Step aside, Fili, I need space."
Fili reluctantly moved to give Alina to work on the wound. They had removed the arrow and were applying pressure. The whole time Sigrid kept telling them she was fine.
"I am fine, Alina, really I am. It doesn't even hurt."
The others thought she must be in shock. But when Alina looked at the wound, it was almost healed over. Alina was taken aback by this, the only thing that she could think that could have happened is that Sigrid just gained a new power. Healing Factor.
Alina smiled at the girl. "Well, congratulations, Sigrid, for getting a new power and just in time too."
Fili looked confused. "She's alright, Fili, I don't have to do anything she did it all herself. Sigrid has developed Healing Factor, she's already healed."
Without even thinking Fili threw himself on top of Sigrid and hugged her tightly. "My love, I thought I lost you!"
Sigrid laughed. "No, Fili, you will not lose me for a long time."
With that, Alina was going to leave but Fili stopped her.
"Wait, Alina takes Sigrid with you. She wants to help let her help in the healing tents."
Sigrid was going to complain but saw the look in Fili's eyes and agreed. After a final goodbye to Fili, Sigrid and Alina left.
