VENTURES INTO THE REMOTE (RP)

Ha'zi raised an eyebrow at that, a bit perplexed and felt a small pang of jealousy. "Uh, Card, what are you talking about? You are obviously more needed than I am- you killed a group of like 20 of those Sentinel guys back at Rivendell in one breath! I can take her back to the caravan with no problem." [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/UnusualBrit/74.png" name="UnusualBrit"]12700073[/user]
 
"Hazi you never got a chance to transform, besides I'm better at supporting the company. Look just as a question of ease and swiftness it'd be better if Miriel went with me." Card replied to the boy.
 
"What? Of course I've transformed! Aldamos, the crocolions, the Behemoth! I was useful then, and still am now. You should stay with the group while I take Miriel back." Ha'zi responded, anger edging slightly into his voice. [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/UnusualBrit/74.png" name="UnusualBrit"]12700073[/user]
 
"I was talking about Rivendell, your more useful here in a combat situation your the warrior giant for wulf's sake." He shook his head to the boy.
 
Despite Cardiloc's clear explanation, Ha'zi still shook his head, sighing. "Card, I'm not really needed. The Warrior is a pretty basic giant, and I don't know how to use half, if any, of my abilities. Plus, I'm not even a good fighter! You are definitely more needed than I am here." [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/UnusualBrit/74.png" name="UnusualBrit"]12700073[/user]
 
"Miriel, who do you think should go?" Card turned his attention to the Gondorian, who had remained strangely silent throughout the conversation.
 
”You,” She said, turning to Card, “You’re faster. Ha’zi isn’t.” She glanced at the Haradrim, her eyes devoid of bias.

The two horny idiots youths thoughts began to filter into Sigeric’s mind. A multitude of notions passed through him and his head began to ache.

—-

“Why does Card think he can have her all to himself? He’s so much stronger than me, can’t I get a break?”
“Aye, the stone looks like shit compared to Erebor.”
“I smell something....pisss.”
“Why do I smell like piss all the time?”
“What’s that faint humming?”
“When shall the messenger return?”
“My daughter, my sweet Celebrían, forgive my actions if they hurt you. If I am to die here and pass into the Undying Lands, may all my sins fall upon my head and not yours, dear daughter.”
“Is it time yet?”
“Is that a little girl?”
“Why is this thing humming?”

—-

Then it all happened so quickly.

ZIIIIIING

A crude, disgusting splurge combined with an electrical whizzing erupted behind them. All the Shifters and elves in Lord Celeborn’s retinue turned around to see it. The massive monoliths had begun to glow and a strange red light, like lightning of some sort, protruded from various holes, intersecting with one another in horizontal and vertical fashions to create a netting. This netting went on for miles across the Gorgoroth Mountains.

The elf, Kilaes, who was touching the monolith was standing directly between the scarlet rays of light. He merely sat on his horse, idling there for a moment before his body fell. His frontal half, including the front of his horse, split vertically and fell to the ground whilst his rear, as well as the rear of the horses, ripped off and plastered to the Udun side of the fence. Blood poured out of his salami-cut body and all of them could see the innards of his corpse, the rot entering the air.

Everyone was too shocked to speak.

WHOOOOSH.

A flurry of screams erupted from the Udun Valley as two huge Giants appeared at the rear of the Gondorian Cavalry Regiment. A Giant with armor coating its skin and another one, a snake-like serpent that was drenched black from head to toe, wrapped around the Armoured and gazed down at the mannish soldiers of the Reunited Kingdom. The Armoured Giant was the first to act, smashing his foot down on the carts. It appeared that the Giants had transformed directly behind the carts. They started thrashing around the back of the Gondorian force in the wake of the surprise. Soldiers began to rush towards the rear.

The Shifters and the Noldorin detachment were cut off by the fence and from what happened to Kilaes, they could not hope to pass through its laser grid.

Celeborn began shouting orders at the Gondorians to take down the Armoured Giant and the Serpent, pleading fro Crandil to send a messenger through the Udun and out to Gondor to alert them of Morgoth’s prescence here. He turned to the Shifters,

“The Gondorians require aid, immediately! We need someone to fly above this trap and get to the Enemy Giants in the Udun! Whom of you shall do that?!”

“Celeborn, look-“ Glorfindel nodded his head at the sky.

From the east, south and southeast fireworks began to appear. Red, red and yellow in that order, respectively.

——-

WHOOOOSH.


Before Zaro’s eyes, a dozen Giants appeared below the hill. One with a huge mouth that stretched open like a whale shark’s, another that had extremely long-arms and eleven others who seemed to be identical in looks.


———-

”Is that an enemy?” One of Elrohir’s lieutenants asked as they rode eastward. They had encountered nothing so far except for the unusual obelisk-like structures. Until they saw the short figure in the distance.

WHOOOSH.

A Giant transformed, so horrifyingly ugly, fifteen meters tall and covered with dark skin and spiked horns. Elrohir’s formation halted, many freezing in fear at the sight of the beast.

———

Elladan caught sight of ten men ahead. They all seemed to be of the same height and stature and faced him down.

“Speak thy purpose in this land or be yielded a foe of the Noldor!” He shouted at them as they charged down. His eyes were blinded by multiple explosions of heat, steam and light. When he rubbed them and looked once again, he saw ten haunting creatures staring back at him. Ten Giants. They all looked identical, as if they were twins like Elrohir and him.

“Giants of Morgoth! Bring them down, archers! Maintain distance, swords!” Elladan cried, bucked his horse and began to retreat whilst handling a red firework.

——-

Pyrus saw the horsemen nearest him begin to scramble from the Proto Giants of Morgoth. Now this was funny. How long would they last against such formidable beasts?

"Holy shit..." Cardiloc cursed as the two giants suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Ha'zi you need to transform, help the others. Miriel your with me." He told the Gondorian, spurring his horse away from the fighting.
 
"Oh fuck." Ha'zi swore at the same time as Cardiloc. "Card, just leave her here for now. We need to deal with those giants. Fly me over whatever that barrier is then I can drop down and fight, ok?" He asked, incredibly nervous. [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/UnusualBrit/74.png" name="UnusualBrit"]12700073[/user]
 
Pyrus would smile, the fence worked perfectly and the forces were separated. Now it was left for the Giants to do the dirty work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She would blow her hair out of eyes and bite down on her tongue, a rush of power filling her body and an explosion of light happened soon after. She saw her targets and let out a roar rushing forward, starting off on two legs but started to run on all four of her limbs as she started to gain momentum, letting our another blood curdling roar.
 
”Ha’zi,” Miriel began, “Card. I don’t expect either of you to understand...but,” she looked up at them, tears in her eyes, “I do this for my family.”

Sigeric could hear her thoughts above the others cries and screams, above the madness, above the shouts.

—-

“This is for you, Aranel.”

—-

Ha’zi and Card saw the flash of steel and she whipped a knife out of her boot, slashing it down her palm as she jumped off her horse, light exploding out of her hand. The last thing either man saw was the explosion before all of them were hurled to the floor.

———

”Disperse!” Elrohir screamed and the willed his horse to the side, as the new Giant came crashing down on his cohort. Thirty elves were mowed over like cattle by the beast, seemingly frozen with fear. “Fire at will!”

Multiple arrows pelted it’s rocky skin, some bouncing off and others sticking. The horse men had divided and pulled around the Giant, forming a circle around her.

Iver saw the armoured giant and pulled out his bottle of booze. He took 3 sips before putting it back, "you and I have some unfinished business you little shit" he said, gaining bravery from the alcohol rushing through his blood.
 
"What?" Card asked as Miriel whipped out her knife, he stood there in shock as she cut herself. "No!!!" He shouted out, the last thing the dunlending saw was a white blinding flash.
 
Stopping in her tracks she would dig her right foot into the ground and then swiftly bring it back, sending a big pile of dirt at those on the right side of her, hopefully sending them flying off their horses or killing them. Standing to her full height she would let out another roar and lunge for the nearest elves, going to throw them at their comrades.
 
"STOP! We are too late, reform! We are going to have to fend for ourselves now! Archers aim for the giants eyes!! Rest of you prepare to charge! The remaining quarter will stay with the archers!" Zaro ordered motioning towards them and waited a moment til everyone was reformed then roared "Do not let the fear get to you, fight to the last breath whilst knowing that by doing this you are defending your families, your freedom, and middle earth! CHARGE!!! Fire at will!" Zaro pointed onward and dashed forward with his men with as much hope as he could summon.
 
Sigeric's eyes snapped open as the humming of the fence slowly intensified. He opened his mouth to shout a warning but was too late. The Gondorians were trapped. In their back lines, he witnessed the two giants decimating the supply train. One of them, he recognized. To the south and east, blood-red flares illuminated the sky. Their whole operation was falling apart. He had been right about there being a trap. Sigeric quickly prevented himself from losing his composure, as he reached for his halberd. He turned towards the other Karoltai. "Cardiloc, Ha'zi is correct. Take the form of a dragon, and carry him beyond the barrier. The rest of us will go south and east to support the scouting parties. Iver, you can take one of us and arrive there before..." Sigeric trailed off, as he heard Miriel's thoughts. "Get down!" he shouted, as the Gondorian drew the knife and slashed her palm. Sigeric preemptively dived off of his horse and rolled across the ground as the blast wave hit. As his ears rung from the blast, he began to rise to his feet, coughing, his lungs choked by the dust of the barren plateau. He examined the new giant who stood in the place of Miriel.
 
"Miriel? What-" BOOOOOOM. Ha'zi was sent flying away with Cardiloc as Miriel stabbed herself. He landed with a thud, and quickly got up, to stare in horror at what had happened. A flash of light... and behold, a monstrosity in the place of the girl he loved. How? No. No. NO. NO. Miriel?! A shifter? Her family?

Ha'zi felt his heart shatter, and any feelings he had
for her were gone, replaced by a red hot anger and darkness. He too broke from this, laughing and sobbing in a twisted, cruel mixture. The peace that he had built, the joy that he'd had from Miriel, it had fallen too, leaving him completely distraught. How.. how could she fucking do this to them? To HIM? She betrayed him, just like his dad, Ilmare, and Eonwe had. Fuck her. Fuck this. Fuck everything.

Still sobbing and laughing, Ha'zi pulled out his knife, ready to feel blissful pain before the explosion. [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/Captain_Aasim/74.png" name="Captain_Aasim"]12253360[/user]
 
Iver turned around as Sigric shouted his warning, "wha..." He managed to say as he pulled his dagger off and saw miriel cuttu herself. He started smiling as the explosion sent him flying into the air, but he didn't feel the pain, all he felt is satisfaction. He was right, they were wrong and he felt so good about it.
As the explosion sent him flying he decided to transform mid-air.
 
A Giant’s hand reached out and grasped Ha’zi before he hit the ground. The young Haradrim’s knife fell as the hand squeezed around him and raised him off the ground. A fifteen meter Giant with a mop of short silky red hair, skull-like armor protruded from its temples, covered over by the scarlet strands. Two big jade eyes stared back at Ha’zi in the midst of the steam that emanated from the blast.

Sigeric saw the new Giant. It had a boney-exoskeleton with armor across its chest and back. It’s legs were much like any normal Giant and it’s skin was fiery red like that of the Behemoth, though, lacking any flames. It had Ha’zi in one hand and the other hand was not a hand but a spiked protruding bone that acted as a saber of sorts. It was kneeling, swiftly began to stand and took off, kicking the dirt up and running, crushing an elf beneath its feet.

“What the fack...” Marco mumbled, having fallen over and hit his head.
Celeborn slowly stood up, shaking the daze from his head, “Stop that, that, that thing! It has the boy!”

Glorfindel stood up, grasped his sword, hopped on his disorientated horse and rode after Miriel’s Giant.

Iver found himself transforming mid-air but smashed into the ground, although, not majorly damaging himself. He was a bat again.

Cardiloc, Sigeric, Dimitri, Daugo and Thoruk were reeling from the blast and saw Miriel running south-east, deeper into Mordor with Glorfindel in hot pursuit.

“Iver!” Glorfindel called, “Take one of the Karoltai and go fight the Armoured and Serpent Giants which are attacking the flank! Fly over the barrier and into the Udun! Cardiloc, the Hybrid Shifter, Dimitri, the Dwarf, Sigeric, the Guard, you three go after the Traitor! Daugo, stay with us, we need you if Morgoth is to appear!”

Ha’zi’s legs and most of his upper body were trapped in Miriel’s grasp. She held him tightly but didn’t squeeze him to the point of uncomfort. His hands were free but he lacked his weapon and any way to reach for another. She’d given up looking at him and was merely staring ahead into the distance as she ran.

——-

”Sir, take cover!” Karstir pushed Zaro off his horse before he could charge. The archers had been riding around, firing arrows down the hill at the Giants which had appeared.

One of the Giants grasped a rock and cracked it off in his hands, it had a huge white beard and gazed up at the archers, swinging its arms and hurdling a handful of rocks at them.

The big-mouthed one, simultaneously began to scream. A booming, terrifying screech, “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

Across the entire Gorgoroth the scream could be heard. Everyone from the Armoured Giant in the Udun to Elladan in the south heard that terrifying roar.

Zaro and his soldiers were hit by the blast of rocks and the screech. The archers were pulverized in one hit, blown up from the Earth and smashed to death by the rocks, their horses ripped apart.

The scream disorientated, blasted and concussed them all. Zaro’s elven ears bled and he couldn’t hear a thing that was happening. He saw Karstir screaming at him, mouthing some words but nothing came, only a faint whinging, Zeeeeeeeeeeee. Harros grabbed onto him and pulled him up, dragging him down their side of the hill.

A loud voice boomed out, ”HA HA. I MISSED THIS! Another rock, please!”

——-

”Evade!” Elrohir yelled at his brothers in arms as they were swept away and smashed by the Giant they were fighting. Damn it. He looked at the devilish creature and swore. “Pull back, retreat. We can’t fight this thing alone!” The remainder of his cohort, sixty-two elves began riding back, avoiding the Giant and routing to the west.

'"The world is a cruel, beautiful place... It brought me here. Brought me to you."' Ha'zi recites, laughing wickedly as he bites down on his tongue as hard as he can, with the goal of transforming in his mind. "It's true, Miriel. It brought me. Right. Here. To you." [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/Captain_Aasim/74.png" name="Captain_Aasim"]12253360[/user]
