(Insert Lord of the Rings: One Ring to Rule them All theme)

Nothing, nothing but darkness is seen as then a female voice begins to speak.

"I amar prestar aen…The world is changed. Ihan mathon ne nen…I feel it in the water. Han mathon ne. chae…I feel it in the Earth. A han noston ned gwilith. I smell it in the air...Much that once was is lost. For none now live who remember it…"

A fire pit slowly appears, a metal prong pulls out a hot cup of melted metal from the fire and pours it into a mold for casting. "It began with the forging of the great rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else, desire power." The three Elf rings are seen on their owners hands as they look at them, admiring their beauty. Elsewhere, seven rings are spread out in a circle on a table as the seven Dwarf Lords pick them up, looking at them before raising them above their heads. And finally at another location, nine Kings of men lower their rings, holding them in front of themselves.

"For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race... But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made." A map of Middle-Earth is seen, before the scene fades out for a bit and then re-appears zooming in on the location of the map marked as Mordor.

"In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master ring, to control all others. And into this Ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life." In Mordor, the volcanic mountain known as Mount Doom, spits out lava, fire, and smoke from the top. Inside, was the Dark Lord Sauron, a massive nine-foot-tall being clad in malicious looking armor as he rose his right hand up in front of him, on it was his Golden Ring as then flaming elvish letters appeared around it, translating into "One Ring to rule them all."

(End Lord of the Rings: One Ring to Rule them All theme)

"One by one, the free lands of Middle-Earth fell to the power of the Ring." The map of Middle-Earth is seen again, what looks like fire comes from Mordor as then a scene is shown over the map, showing the burning down of a village as its townspeople run away, crying out in terror while what look like wildmen raise their weapons into the air cheering at the burning down of the village.

(Insert The Nazgul's March Theme)

"But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of Men and Elves marched against the armies of Mordor, and on the slopes of Mount Doom they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth." A massive army of Men and Elven warriors march forward together, Sauron's army of creatures known as Orcs also charge forward as both sides stop a bit of a distance away from each other ready for the battle at hand. Many Orcs are seen growling at the men and elves, just then a line of Human archers release their volley of arrows and duck down, allowing the line behind them to release their arrows as well. High on the nearby cliffs, the orc archers are also firing down at the Men and Elves but find themselves getting massacred as many orcs fall off the clicks to the ground below, the orc army charges forward to engage the two armies.

The elves raise their weapons forward, among them is a Elven lieutenant known as Elrond, an elf with long dark hair as he yells out a command in his elven language, the command makes the rows of elven warriors behind him raise their bows and pull back on their arrows as they take aim at the charging orcs. Elrond says something else which makes the archers release their arrows, striking down many of the orcs at the front of their army as the orcs then finally close in on the elven warriors, the ones at the front swing up their swords upwards taking down the first orcs that come into contact with them.

Everything breaks out as the armies are now mixed together, men and elves fighting against the orcs and slaying many of them. Elrond is seen striking down another orc before than driving his sword into it once more to make sure it stays down, one of the human warriors, this one almost looking like a king due to his royal-looking armor, raises his sword into the air and cries out.

"Victory was near. But the power of the Ring could not be undone." As Elrond strikes down another orc, he stops suddenly and stares at something in shock, another human soldier also looking like he was of royalty with his armor, also sees what Elrond is and stops fighting as he stares at whatever it was in shock. It is then seen that it is Sauron, wielding a very long mace in his hands, walking through the battlefield, causing all of the men and elven warriors in front of him to converge towards him. All of them stop a few feet away as Sauron walks forward and then stops, the human and elf warriors looking up at him with terror in their eyes and even backing up a bit.

Sauron begins his attack. First swinging his mace downwards taking many human and elves out, as he brings back his mace and swings it outwards sending many soldiers flying away. Sauron does the attack two more times, each time sending groups of soldiers flying away like they were nothing but flies to him. The human king charges forward in an attempt to put a stop to this, but he to is struck by Sauron and sent crashing against a rock, killing him due to the massive force at which he was sent flying into it.

(End The Nazgul's March Theme)

The young human prince known as Isildur rushes over to his father, but finds no life in him. "It was in this moment when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the King, took up his father's sword."

Isildur takes his helmet off and cries for his father, when suddenly Sauron appears before him and in a fit of anger goes for his father's sword. Sauron however steps on it, breaking the sword as only a small part of it remains, part of it still sharp though. Sauron begins to reach down for Isildur, who backed up against the rock, cries out as he swings the remainder of the sword, actually managing to cut Sauron's fingers off him, the ring among them as they fall to the ground with Sauron letting out a cry of pain. The finger that has the One Ring on it falls close to Isildur who spots it, before he can move he notices a bright light begin to appear from within Sauron's armor. The wind picks up, blowing flags, and hair of helmetless soldiers around but also seems to be drawing the soldiers in towards Sauron who all of a sudden implodes. Sending out a massive shockwave which knocks everyone for miles around, down to the ground. Pieces of Sauron's armor fall to the ground, and finally Sauron's helmet itself.

"Sauron, the enemy of the free-peoples of Middle-Earth was defeated…" Isildur finally grabbed the finger that had the One Ring on it and looked at it, the finger breaking apart into pieces and ash leaving only the ring in his hand now. "The Ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever."

The scene switches to a dark, eerie forest as Isildur along with his men ride their horses in a column through it down a road. "But the hearts of men...are easily corrupted." The ring was now on a chain around Isildur's neck. "And the Ring of Power has a will of its own." Suddenly from the forest orcs appear and ambush the soldiers, one of them leaps forward towards Isildur and tackles him off his horse, the rest of the men find themselves swarmed from all sides by orcs as they attempt to fight back. Isildur looks around, and sees his men getting massacred as he pulls the chain off his neck and places the ring onto his finger, causing him to disappear. Dead bushes are pushed aside, metal armor is heard clanking around as then something or someone falls into the nearby river. All of a sudden Isildur reappears again, the ring having of fallen off his finger as he notices it and attempts to reach for it, but is too late as three orc archers spot him and release their arrows which go into his back, causing Isildur to let out his last breath before finally dying. "It betrayed Isildur to his death." Isildur's body floats up from the water, blood going down his entire back with three arrows protruding from his upper back as his lifeless body floats down the river.

"And some things that should not have been forgotten, were lost." The Ring is last seen falling to the bottom of the river and disappearing. "History became legend, legend became myth and for two and a half thousand years, the Ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer." at the bottom of the river, the ring is seen sticking out of the sandy bottom, when a hand reaches out and picks it up. Very dirty-looking hands open up, revealing the One Ring on the palm of someone, or something as the thing speaks "My, precious~."

Dark clouds hover over the green mountains with fog rolling down between them "The Ring, came to the creature Gollum...who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains. And there, it consumed him." Inside the mountain, deep in a dark cave, skeletal remains of eaten, rotten fish are seen next to a pool as close by was the creature known as Gollum, hunchbacked over, but the rest of his features unclear due to the shadows of the darkness as he speaks, his voice echoing throughout the cave "It came to me. My own. My love. My own. My~, pr~ecious~." Gollum says when he then raises his head and gags out "Gollum!" as if he heard something but gets back to looking at his ring.

"The Ring brought to Gollum unnatural long life. For 500 years it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Gollum's cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East...whispers of a nameless fear. And the Ring of Power perceived...its time, hand now come." A full moon shines in the dark night sky, showing a dark forest with no movement in it, except for the light blowing of a few trees and bushes, rippling's in the pond. The scene then switched to the next day, a rising sun. Suddenly in the cave, the Ring began falling down, bouncing off of the rocks "It abandoned Gollum."

"But something happened then, the Ring did not intend. It was picked up, by the most unlikely creature imaginable." The ring lay in a pile of dirt, when a hand came over it and a voice quietly spoke out "What's this?"

"A Hobbit. Bilbo Baggins of the Shire." the young Hobbit known as Bilbo Baggins picks up the ring and looks at it, intrigued by it "A ring." Bilbo says, releasing a low sighing chuckle when Gollum's voice cried and echoed throughout the cave alerting him. "Lost! My precious is lo~st!" Gollum cried out as Bilbo quietly stood back up, getting against the wall as he put the ring into the pocket of his coat and tapped it to make sure it was in there. "For the time will soon come...when Hobbits, will shape the fortunes of all. But also, when that time came. The Hobbits and their friends that would shape the future of Middle-Earth, would be aided by people, not of this world."

Present Day…

The Third Age…

Lothlorien…

A elven lady, with long blonde hair, two forward bangs and one long one in the back that are curling a bit as they go down, wearing a long white dress stares down into a silver basin of water, and appears to be speaking to herself. "For the destruction of the Ring to succeed, we must call upon the aid of others not of this world, with the power to help us. For if we do not. Then this whole world, will fall into darkness." the elven lady says, as she stares into the rippling water a strange symbol begins to materialize in it. After a few seconds the symbol finally appears, revealing what appears to be an orange/light red color, side view of a Fairy, with a tail.

Fire continues to burn beneath the title screen before the scene fades to black...

"The Kingdom of Fiore…A neutral country of 17 million people. It is a world of magic. Magic is bought and sold there every day. It is an integral part of people's lives. And there are those who use magic as their occupation. These people are referred to as…Wizards. The Wizards belong to various guilds, and perform jobs on commission. There are a large number of guilds within the country. And in a certain city there lies a certain guild. A guild from which various legends were once born…Or rather, will continue to be born long into the future…And its name is: Fairy Tail!"

Magnolia, Fiore…

X791…

A door is busted open as a lean, muscular young man of average height with a slightly tan skin tone with strange pink-colored spiky hair is sent flying through it, crying out before hitting the concrete face first and skidding across the ground to a stop. The rest of his body falls to the ground as the young man begins to pick himself up and turns around to sit back down revealing his black eyes, he wears a gold trimmed, black overcoat that is open-collared and only has one sleeve that covers his left arm leaving his right arm exposed, a faux leather brown armband around the sleeve at the top of his arm, and a thick black wristband around his right hand wrist. A leather brown belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle around his waist, white knee-length trousers with black ribbon ties, black open-toed sandals for footwear, and finally a scale-patterned white scarf, the strange symbol from before was below his right shoulder colored red as it appeared to be a stamp mark.

"Sheesh Lucy, that hurt! More than usual, you've been working out?" the young man asked with a toothy-grin while crossing his arms, almost like he didn't care what just happened.

"Shut it Natsu!" a young woman with large brown eyes and blonde hair tied into pigtails yells in an annoyed tone as she appears outside the door. She wears a rather revealing small white, gold trimmed, with a big blue heart in the middle shirt, the shirt leaves her stomach revealed and shows off her rather ample-sized chest, she wears an accompanying very small blue and gold trimmed sleeveless coat, detached blue sleeves up to her elbows with gold ribbons at the top and white trimmed edges around her wrists, a black skirt with a white belt where a small leather holder with what looks like a ring of gold and silver keys on it in the holder hangs from her right hip, and a black whip with a heart-shaped end on her left hip, finally long black stockings and brown leather high boots. The symbol was on the back of her right hand and was pink. "I don't know what's gotten into you but ever since we got back from the Grand Magic Games you've been breaking into my place a lot more and sleeping in MY bed while I'm in it! Do you realize how weird that is?" the woman identified as Lucy questions in anger.

"Hey, you can't blame me that your bed's just more comfortable than mine. It's hard to resist." Natsu says closing his eyes with a grin on his face.

Lucy lets out an annoyed sigh as she lowers her head and closes her eyes, she should be used to this by now but it was still such an annoying thing to deal with on such a daily basis, especially recently. "Whatever, come on. Let's just get to the guild already." Lucy says as she, Lucy Heartfilia, Celestial Spirit mage and a member of the wizard guild known as Fairy Tail, and her best friend and partner Natsu Dragneel, the boy taught magic known as Fire Dragon Slayer magic by his dragon father Igneel who had disappeared on him many years ago, began to make their way towards their guild hall where the rest of their friends and comrades were.

It had been at least a month since the events that transpired at the Grand Magic Games, the dragons that came from the past were back where they were, and Fairy Tail was back at being the number one guild in all of Fiore. Their old guild hall was back, many wizards had joined the guild, and a lot of job requests were flooding in making the wizards always busy to earn some jewels. "Hey everyone!" Lucy called out as her and Natsu opened up the doors to their guild, all to find it but completely empty, except for a few people, and three cats...sorry, Exceeds.

"Huh? Where is everyone?" Natsu wondered as he and Lucy walked in. "Morning, Natsu, Lucy." Mirajane Strauss greeted from behind the bar with her usual angelic smile. "Morning Mira. Where is everyone?" Lucy asked.

"Out on jobs. Ever since the Grand Magic games we've been getting a lot of requests as of late. At least it keeps everyone busy, but sometimes it does get a bit too quiet in here." Mirajane says.

"Well, well, about damn time you got here pyro maniac!" a familiar voice called out as Natsu immediately turned around with an angered look on his face.

"Huh? What was that, stripping moron?" Natsu questioned to his friend/rival, Ice-Make mage Gray Fullbuster, who for some reason had a bad habit of stripping out of his clothes, like at this moment as he was half-naked with only his dark blue pants on, luckily…as the two began walking towards each other, ready to begin another one of their daily brawls in the guild.

Lucy sighs "You sure about that…" she says.

The brawl however was almost immediately stopped before it could began as both Natsu and Gray found themselves punched into the floor by the monstrous strength of the scarlet haired and Requip mage Erza Scarlet. "Don't even think about it. We don't have time to deal with your nonsense today, now that you and Lucy are here Natsu, we can go look for a job to do." Erza says, as always wearing her normal Heart Kreuz Armor.

"Aye! Let's look for one with a really high reward." Natsu's Exceed partner, the blue with a white stomach talking cat Happy says. Sitting on a table with his fellow Exceeds Carla, and Panther Lily as Lily has a glass cup of kiwi juice in his hands/paws.

"We probably should, if I remember correctly Lucy's apartment rent is due soon so she probably needs the jewels about now." Carla, the white-furred Exceed partner to the young Wind Dragon Slayer Wendy Marvell says, wearing a pink bow tie on the end of her tail, a pink dress with yellow tie that has a red cat paw mark at the bottom.

"Speaking of jobs, did you find anything for us to do Gajeel?" Panther Lily, or just Lily, the black furred Exceed and partner of Gajeel Redfox, the Iron Dragon Slayer asks his partner. Lily wore green pants with a small brown belt wrapped around it, and carried a small red sword known as the Musica Sword on his back sheathed away.

Gajeel Redfox sat at the end of a table close to where the other members of Team Natsu were, Gray had his white coat back on and buttoned up as he took a seat and propped his right hand up on the table leaning against it with a bored expression and his eyes closed "Nope. Not a single interesting job for us to do. Everyone took all the damn good ones this morning." Gajeel says.

As Lucy joined the others at the table, Wendy, her hair up in long pigtails held together by two red animal ear-like attachments, wearing a flowing dress with a triangular pattern near the top, the first triangle from the bottom is yellow, followed by light green, and then light blue at the top, and crossing pattern around the rest of the dress as the rest of it is dark green in color with the black crossing lines. She also wears a thick yellow band around each of her arms and ankle tied sandals on her feet, walked up to the others with a request paper in hand.

"I may have found something, but it's really weird." Wendy says as she places it on the table.

The group look down at the piece of paper, on it was a drawing of what looked like a giant ring, the words "Help Destroy!" under it, but that wasn't the weird part. The paper not only didn't say anything about what the reward would be, nor where this job was located at, but under the normal words, was some strange letters, the likes that had never been seen before.

"Huh?" Natsu says confused as he raises an eyebrow.

"It says, "Help Destroy" and shows a ring. But it doesn't say anything else, no reward, no location given, and then some strange letters." Gray says.

Lucy suddenly shrieks "Please don't tell me this is another Changeling paper!" she cried out reeling back a little, the horrible memories of that certain incident coming back to mind, especially since her mind just had to get swapped with the guy who had stripping issues and nearly exposed her!

"No, I don't think so. But, even then, I've never seen such wording as that before." Erza says.

Interested to see what they're talking about, Gajeel gets up from his seat and walks over, the Exceeds spread their wings and fly over the others to look down at it. "What do you think, Carla?" Wendy asks looking up at her.

"I don't know. I've never seen anything like that myself. In fact, I've never heard of any lettering like that." Carla says.

"Tch, the one time we need shrimp here to figure out some kind of weird ass writing and she isn't here." Gajeel says.

"I'm surprised he didn't go with her." Lucy says in her head with a sly smile on her face as she eyes Gajeel from the corner of her eyes.

Suddenly the paper and the strange letters begin to glow brightly in white light, a circle of light surrounds the group of Fairy Tail mages who then find themselves completely frozen in place, unable to move except for their heads.

"W-What the hell?!" Natsu yells out.

"Hey, hey!" Gray yells.

"Eh~! What's going on?!" Happy cries out.

"I can't move!" Lily says.

"Ah~! I knew it! It's changeling all over again!" Lucy yells out.

"No, this isn't. This is different!" Erza says.

"What's going to happen!?" Wendy questions in fear.

"Someone! Help!" Carla yells out, hoping that Mirajane or any of the others in the guild could help them. However, upon looking around, they all gasp in shock at what they see. It seemed everything and everyone else outside the circle of light was also frozen, though unlike them, they didn't seem to even register what was going on or even speak, they were all frozen in place with a focus on whatever it was they were originally doing.

"Why are they frozen as well?!" Gajeel yells.

"Please." a strange female voice suddenly says, the mages hear this and begin looking around.

"Who said that?!" Natsu angrily questioned, wondering if whoever this was, was responsible for what was happening.

"You, must help us."

"Help us? Who are you?!" Erza also angrily questions.

"All, will be revealed in due time. Darkness is coming. And you must help them on their journey…"

Suddenly the intensity and brightness of the light from the paper begins increasing, blinding everyone as they close their eyes and everything, including them, becomes enveloped by the light.

"Natsu! Natsu!"

Natsu's eyes opened up widely, kneeling over him was Lucy who was looking down at him with a worried expression which immediately disappeared as soon as he opened his eyes, making her let out a sigh of relief "Thank goodness." she says quietly.

Natsu sits up and pushes himself to his feet as Lucy also stands back up. Natsu rubs the back of his head, closing his eyes and groaning due to how groggy he felt. "Lucy, you alright? Where are the others?" Natsu asks as he opens his eyes and looks at her.

Lucy nods her head "Yeah, I'm fine. So are the others." she says looking to her left as Natsu looked forward to see the others also beginning to get up to their feet rubbing the back or top of their heads.

"Is everyone alright?" Erza asks aloud.

"A bit groggy, but doing good." Gray says.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Gajeel replies.

"I'm also okay." Wendy replies.

"Aye…" Happy says.

"Confused, but okay." Carla says.

"Same here." Lily says.

Natsu and Lucy began looking around, finding out that they were all in the middle of a forest and it was now night time, but the sky was full of clouds that blocked out the light of the moon and the stars. The wind blew coldly in all directions making the leaves of the trees and brushes all rustle and blow about. "W-Where are we?" Lucy questions with a worried look on her face.

Natsu begins sniffing the air with his nose "I don't recognize anything. There's no familiar smells in the air." he says as then Wendy and Gajeel also begin smelling the air "Natsu-san's right." Wendy says.

"Ain't getting any kind of familiar scent. We're somewhere we've never been before." Gajeel says.

"Did that request transport us to some part of Fiore or something?" Gray asks aloud.

"Somehow, I get this strange feeling we're not in Fiore anymore. Maybe not even Earthland itself." Erza says.

"Was that request some kind of Anima? Are we in Edolas?" Happy says.

"Look around Happy, everything here looks pretty normal." Carla points out.

"She's right. Wherever we are, it's not Edolas." Lily says.

"If we're not on Earthland, or even Edolas, then where are we?" Lucy asks. Natsu sniffs the air again, suddenly his eyes widen in alarm as he turns around and ignites his fists on fire "Show yourself!" Natsu demands alerting everyone.

Gajeel then seems to smell something as well as he transforms both of his arms into Iron Clubs while Wendy also gets ready to use her Dragon Slayer magic, Erza requips a sword into her right hand as Gray puts his hands together ready to cast a spell, and Lucy prepares to take out one of her keys. "Hey, there's no use in hiding from the nose of a Dragon Slayer. So why don't you come out and show yourself already." Natsu says when no one appears.

After a few intense seconds, someone finally does come out from the bushes, a tall, old man who looks to be somewhere between 40-50 years old, with dark shaggy hair wearing almost raggedy-looking clothing, all of which was really dark meaning he could've very well blended into the night if he was able to, from his hooded cloak to his shirt, pants, and boots. A sheathed away sword could be seen hanging on the left side of his hip, as well as a bow and quiver of arrows which was covered to prevent the arrows from falling out on his back. The man walked out with his hands up, trying to show them that he meant no trouble.

"A Dragon Slayer you say? I find it hard to believe that someone as young as you has slayed a dragon. Especially when there hasn't been one in many years." The man says as he stops a few feet away from the Fairy Tail mages. "But I also find myself curious, how you were able to produce flame from your hands, you summon a sword from out of nowhere, and you to transform your arms into those iron clubs. If I had to guess, the rest of you are capable of strange things yourselves, even the strange talking cats I assume."

It was now obvious that the man had been there since they had woken up, probably even having arrived before they did so meaning if he wanted to he could've killed them while they slept but didn't. Still, it was hard to believe that Natsu, Wendy, or Gajeel hadn't been able to pick him up until now with their enhanced senses meaning he must've been good at keeping quiet and somehow masking his scent in with the environment, Natsu only having gotten a bit lucky when he noticed just a small smell of someone else being around them. "Yeah, the rest of us are capable of magic. What's it to you pal?" Gray questions.

The man's face turns to one of confusion while he still keeps his hands up "Magic? I've never heard of there being anymore wizards, especially ones as young as you. Who are you people?" the man asks.

"We're mages from the guild Fairy Tail. And you're going to tell us why we're here. Did you bring us to wherever we are?" Erza questions as she continues to point her sword at the man.

"Fairy Tail? I do not know what you speak of, but I can assure you that whatever happened to you I was not a part of it. I just happened to be in the forest when I noticed a bright light appear and then saw all of you lying unconscious on the ground."

"Oh yeah, and how can we believe you?" Happy asks spreading his wings and flying up to the man's face who was even more taken back by now, not only was this one of the talking cats, but now it was flying up in front of his face? Could the other two do that as well?

"I think he's telling us the truth. It's obvious he's been hiding there since we woke up and before then, if he meant us harm I think he would've done so already." Carla says with her arms crossed.

"If you mean us no harm, the least you could do is tell us where we are." Erza asks.

"You are in the Eriador region of Middle-Earth young ones. If it also helps, I will give you my name, but you must also tell me yours. I am known as Strider." the man identified as Strider says.

"Strider? What the hell kind of name is that?" Gajeel questions.

Erza however ignores this as she finally lowers her sword, seeing this everyone else lowers their arms as Gajeel transforms his arms back to normal and Natsu extinguishes his fire. "Very well. My name is Erza. That's Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Wendy, Gajeel, Happy, Carla, and Lily." Erza says nodding to each of her friends upon saying their names.

"Middle-Earth? I've never heard of such a place before." Lucy says.

"Looks like that request paper really did send us to another world, just like Anima." Lily says.

"Tch. Great. And unlike Edolas, we don't have anyone here who could help us get back to our world. This doesn't look good." Gray says.

"Wait a second. Did you say anymore wizards?" Wendy asks Strider who looks down at the young girl as he lowers his hands.

"Yes I did. There are five wizards in all, three of them I do not know where they are. One who has turned on us, and the other, my friend, I do not know what has happened to him. However, if he is alive he may be where I was heading, he may be able to help you. Tell me though, what are you talking about by request paper and another world?" Strider asks.

"To put it simple we're, not exactly from this place. We come from another place called Earthland, you've probably never heard of it because, well it doesn't exist in this world. And for the request paper-" Lucy is then cut off by Natsu as he has his arms crossed. "As a guild we do requests to help people as well as earn rewards for helping them. We were about to go out on a job when we came across this strange request with some strange letters on it that lit up and brought us here. Makes me even wonder if what was on that paper that we did understand was true, help destroy and then it showed us this drawing of a ring."

At this Strider turns his head a little eying Natsu specifically as if he might've known what he was talking about but wanted to make sure. "What did you say?" Strider asks.

"Hm?" Natsu hums as he and the others look at him confused. "Help destroy, and then there was this drawing of a ring on it. Under the words we did understand was some strange letters we'd never seen before." Natsu says raising his right eyebrow.

Strider's eyes widened as he heard this, turning away slowly and muttering to himself "Could they be talking about…"

"Hey, we can hear you, you know. Do you know what's going on?" Gajeel questions since he, Natsu, and Wendy did hear him thanks to their enhanced hearings.

All of a sudden a loud, high-pitched and terrifying screech of some kind echoed throughout the night sky, catching everyone's attention as they all looked up into the air. The Fairy Tail mages were a bit taken back by the strange sound while Lucy and Wendy were a bit frightened by how inhuman it sounded, while Strider seemed to have a worried look on his face.

"What the hell was that?!" Natsu questioned.

"That, that didn't sound like anything we know." Lucy says.

"It sounded scary!" Wendy says with her eyes closed and hands to her head as it faced downward.

"Frodo…" Strider quietly said, once again heard by the Dragon Slayers as he all of a sudden took off. "Huh, hey!" Natsu yells.

"Follow him!" Erza says as quickly the Fairy Tail mages began to run/fly after him.

Weathertop…

Young hobbit Frodo Baggins, not just a few weeks ago was living a normal life with his Uncle Bilbo in the homeland of the Hobbits, the Shire, celebrating his 111th birthday when everything changed. His uncle suddenly upped and left without saying anything, and his friend, the wizard Gandalf the Grey had told him about an item that Bilbo had left for him from when he had gone on a journey with Gandalf many years ago, was known as the One Ring. The ring, forged by the Dark Lord Sauron and that as long as it existed, Sauron continued to survive and his dark forces would stop at nothing to reclaim it to bring him back to life completely so that he may conquer all of Middle-Earth. Frodo had now found himself forced onto a quest to try and deliver the One Ring to the elves of Rivendell so that they, along with the men and dwarves of Middle-Earth could decide what to do with it, before he left his best friend Sam Gamgee had joined on the quest, not long afterwards was their other friends Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck, and Peregrin "Pippin" Took. The four arrived at the village of Bree where they were supposed to meet up with Gandalf who had gone for a meeting with his fellow wizard Saruman, but he was not there, the four were then met by the Ranger known as Strider who was going to lead them the rest of the way and protect them from the servants of Sauron known as Nazgul, or Ringwraiths.

The Ringwraiths were once nine great kings of men who were corrupted by rings of power given to them by Sauron himself, causing them to change over time until they eventually turned into the dreaded ring-servants of the Dark Lord who were bounded to the One Ring, and as such when the One Ring resurfaced, they were sent to take it back and as such had been chasing Frodo and his friends for some time. Frodo, his friends, and Strider eventually arrived at an old fortress known as Weathertop and Strider left to go scout out the road ahead of them. However, unfortunately in his leave, Frodo's friends had made the foolish mistake of starting a fire near the top while he slept so they could make food, the brightness of it could be seen for miles which is what drew five of the Ringwraiths in the area to them. And now, here they were. At the top of the ruins of the fortress, looking around for the servants of Sauron with their Barrow-blades out in hopes of defending themselves long enough until hopefully Strider returned.

The four Hobbits looked around at all of the openings, no Ringwraith in sight. Suddenly Frodo stopped and stared at one entrance, which is when one of them began to come over the steps on the other side. The Ringwraith wore nothing but a hooded dark-cloak, its face, if it had one, was completely shadowed inside of the hood as nothing was seen, it had on sinister-looking metal gloves and sharp-toed at the end boots, the Ringwraith reached for a sheathed away long sword on its left hip and pulled it out, holding it upwards in front of its face, tightening its grip on it more before finally taking a step forward. Frodo began to back up as the rest of his friends heard the metallic footstep and began to slowly turn around, all of them with fear in their eyes as suddenly the other four Ringwraiths, also in the same positions with their swords held up in front of them, appeared from the other doorways and in-synch, slowly walked towards the four Hobbits, towering over them immensely. The hobbits began to slowly step back, to terrified to do anything else as they held their daggers at the ready to try and fight back, the Ringwraith's brought their swords to their right sides and pointed them towards the hobbits, also ready to fight.

"Back you devils!" Sam yelled as he swung his dagger at the Ringwraith in the middle, the Nazgul easily blocking the swings as it then backhanded Sam and sent him flying to the ground against a pillar. Merry and Pippin were both too terrified to try anything and so at least got in between Frodo and the Nazgul to slow them down, but that did nothing as the Nazgul merely pushed them aside. Frodo was also terrified to do anything, even dropping his blade to the ground and tripping over backwards falling to the ground. Looking back at the Ringwraith's, Frodo suddenly began to hear a deep voice speak in a strange language, he looked at his chest pocket and reached into it, pulling out from it the golden One Ring as the voice seemed to be coming from it. The Ringwraith in the middle who was looking away, all of a sudden turned its head and looked right at Frodo who saw this, the Ringwraith began to walk towards Frodo while the others stayed back, pulling out a medium-sized dagger as it made its way towards Frodo who began pushing himself back using his feet while whimpering in fear. Frodo found himself pushed against a broken apart and fallen pillar as the five Ringwraith's began to descend on him, the lead Ringwraith pulled the dagger back, ready to stab Frodo as he then placed the ring on and disappeared before them.

Frodo all of a sudden finds himself in this, almost dark, whirling mist world as everything around him seems blurry. Looking up, he finds himself looking at the Ringwraiths, except this time, they are in the form of old men with crowns on their heads, their eyes darkened, he could see what they looked like before as men, the Ringwraith's were all glowing ghostly white and looking down at him as if they knew he was still there. He could hear whispers in the air, the lead Ringwraith began extending its left hand forward as Frodo suddenly found his hand with the ring on it going closer to the Nazgul's, as the Nazgul was about to grab Frodo's hand to take the Ring, Frodo found himself regaining control of his hand and pulled it away at the last second. The Nazgul reeled back and then drove its dagger into Frodo's left shoulder, causing him to cry out in absolute pain. All of a sudden a familiar battle cry rings out, drawing the Ringwraith's attentions away from Frodo as the dagger was pulled out from him.

Back in the real world, the Ringwraith's let out their terrifying screeches as Strider appeared, jumping in with his sword drawn as well as a lit torch as he swung his sword first, driving away the first Nazgul and then following with his torch to drive the rest back even more. In Frodo's eyes, all he saw was a dark shadow driving away the Ringwraith's with fire. He couldn't take it anymore and quickly pulled the ring from his finger, making him reappear back in front of the others as he cried out in pain again, the hole where the dagger was driven through evident on his shoulder.

"Frodo!" Sam yelled as he quickly got up and began to rush over to him. Strider continued to drive the Nazgul back swinging his torch as Sam ran past behind him over to Frodo "Oh Sam." Frodo says happy to see him. Strider swung his sword and torch continuing to drive them back until they finally stopped and began their counter-attack. The leader charged Strider and swung its sword down at him as he blocked it with his sword, this however left him open as the other four charged at him ready to run him through their swords, when suddenly four shadows flew at them and kicked all four of them back. The Nazgul stumbled back as the other one was taken back by this, allowing Aragorn to push it back as well as he then looked to his left to see Gray and Gajeel and to his right to see Erza and Natsu standing with him, ready for battle.

"Looks like you can use some help." Natsu says.

The Hobbits seeing the new people were completely confused, wondering just who they were and if they were friends of Strider or if he just happened to run into them and they followed him back here. Lucy and Wendy ran around the pillar and over to Sam and Frodo as they both knelt down beside them "You alright?" Lucy quickly asks.

"Let me take care of that wound." Wendy says as she holds her hands over Frodo's stab wound, her hands began glowing turquoise colored light shocking both of the hobbits.

"Go get them Natsu!" Happy cheered from above the two Hobbits who looked up and seeing the talking cat were once again in shock.

"What are those things?" Lily questioned worryingly.

"I don't know, but I'm getting a really evil presence off of them." Carla says. Lucy stood up and grabbed a hold of her keys, ready to call out one of her spirits if one of them tried to attack the downed people and Wendy. But the feeling she was getting off of these people, or whatever they were, was making her spine tingle just a bit with fear. Carla was right, it was like these things were surrounded by some kind of evil aura that was radiating invisibly off them, something that could drive people with fear if they stood just close to these things, luckily Lucy wasn't being affected much by it, but only a little bit.

"Hey, anyone else getting a strange feeling off these guys?" Gray asks aloud.

"That feeling is the aura of terror that surrounds these Nazgul, the Black Breath. It will make many who dare challenge the Nazgul tremble in fear of their mere presence except for the most hardened of warriors." Strider says.

"Heh, too bad for them that shit ain't nothing to us." Gajeel says.

"Take them down!" Erza orders as the warrior and mages charge forward to engage the five Nazgul. Strider swings his sword at the lead Nazgul in front of him, driving it back as it continues to block his blade. The Nazgul in front of Erza swings its sword at her, making her duck beneath it as she launches her attack driving her sword up the Ringwraith's body and causing it stumble back. Gajeel jumps up into the air "Iron Dragon's Sword!" he yells out, transforming his right arm into jagged steel blade and bringing it down onto the Nazgul in front of him sending it flying back into a pillar.

"Ice Make Lance!" Gray yells out, creating lances of ice that extend towards the Nazgul in front of him, skewering right through its cloak and sending it flying back beside the other Nazgul.

Merry and Pippin, who have rejoined by Sam and Frodo, see this with Sam and drop their mouths open in shock and awe "Did you see that?" Merry asks.

"Did they use magic?" Pippin asks.

"Just like Mr. Gandalf?" Sam says.

Just then however the two Nazgul knocked back by Gray and Gajeel stand up as if neither attack had any effect on them at all shocking the two wizards. "Not a single effect?" Gajeel says.

"These things aren't human, that's for sure." Gray says.

Natsu ducks underneath another swing from his Nazgul, lighting his right fist aflame "Try this on for size! Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!" Natsu yells out as he throws an uppercut into the Nazgul sending it flying up into the air and lighting its cloak aflame. As it lands back down a few feet away from him, the Ringwraith quickly gets up and lets out a screech, this one almost sounding like it was in pain as it began waving its arms wildly around before turning and suddenly running away confusing Natsu. "What the?"

Strider jabs his torch into his Nazgul, lighting it aflame as it screeched out in pain and turned tail running away while still on fire. "Fire! Fire is one of their weaknesses!" Strider yelled out.

"Really? In that case, Requip!" Erza yells, her body is engulfed in bright golden light. As it disappears, Erza is now seen equipped into her Flame Empress Armor and armed with her Flame Sword. Erza readies her sword and raises it forward, the Nazgul seem to notice what is going on though as the two knocked down by Gajeel and Gray quickly turn tail and run away back down the side of the ruins.

"Looks like they got the message and high-tailed it out of here." Gray says.

"Guys! You missed one!" Lucy calls out as everyone turns to their right to see what appears to be the lead Ringwraith attempting to sneak by them. As Strider is about to do something Natsu steps in front of him "Allow me." he says with a toothy-grin, suddenly taking the torch from Strider's hand and holding it in front of him as he sucks in the fire from it, shocking Strider and the Hobbits.

"Did he just eat fire?!" Pippin yells with wide eyes.

"Now that I've eaten. I'm all revved up." Natsu says grinning maniacally towards the Nazgul who actually begins stepping backwards, almost as if it was afraid of Natsu.

"Time to blow you away, Roar of the Fire Dragon!" Natsu yells out as he bloats up his face and spews a massive blast of fire from his mouth. Completely shocking Strider and the four hobbits as the fire travels towards the Nazgul and engulfs him, an explosion erupts destroying the ruins behind where the Nazgul was as suddenly the Nazgul flies out from the explosion screeching out in pain and falling all the way down to the ground below.

"Dwahahaha! That was too easy!" Natsu yells while laughing with his hands to his hips, eyes closed and usual toothy-grin.

"Yeah, but you do realize you destroyed a part of this place right?" Lucy says with a deadpanned expression.

Strider is completely at a loss for words at what just happened. However he is suddenly brought back to reality by the painful cry of Frodo as Sam and the others also snap back to the important problem at hand "Strider!" Sam yells out as quickly everyone rushes over to the downed Hobbit.

"Wait, Wendy, he's still not healed?" Lucy asks.

"I-I can't heal his wound for some reason. It's almost as if this wasn't a normal sword that stabbed him." Wendy says with a worried tone.

"Help him Strider." Sam says.

Strider then picks up the dagger that was used by the Ringwraith to stab him as it laid beside Frodo. "That's because it wasn't a normal blade that stabbed him. He's been stabbed by a Morgul blade." Strider says as suddenly the blade disintegrates leaving only the hilt as he drops it.

"A Morgul blade?" Carla asks.

"It's a magical, poisonous dagger. It seems you have healing magic little one. But even this is beyond my skill to heal. Only the power of Elvish medicine can heal this and prevent him from turning. We must move quickly." Strider says as he picks up Frodo who still cries out in pain, quickly the Hobbits and Fairy Tail mages follow after him, though questioning in their heads along with the Hobbits what he meant by "turning."

A few hours go by as the two groups quickly run through the forest, dawn has come as the sky is now light blue, Strider with a re-lit torch while still holding onto Frodo over his shoulder, Sam also carries one while dragging their horse full of supplies along. The familiar screeches of the Ringwraith's pierce through the air as the groups go as fast as they can.

"Hurry!" Strider urges.

"Those things still aren't dead yet? Just what are they?" Lucy questions.

"More importantly, who are you people?" Merry asks.

"There will be time for explanations later. Focus on what's at hand." Strider says.

"We're six days from Rivendell! He'll never make it!" Sam says.

"Gandalf…" Frodo weakly says in his unconscious state.

"Hold on Frodo." Strider quietly says.

"Gandalf!" Frodo yells.

Night…

Frodo's condition has worsened, his eyes and skin both ghostly pale and his face covered with cold sweat as he whimpers in pain. Placed on the ground Frodo stares up at a stone troll that is lightly covered in moss as then Sam appears looking down over him "Look Frodo. It's Mr. Bilbo's trolls." Sam says trying to lighten the mood a bit.

Suddenly Frodo's whimpers increase and get louder "Mr. Frodo?" Sam says beginning to get more worried as he puts his hand to Frodo's forehead. "He's going cold." Sam says to the others.

The group had stopped in the middle of the forest, three stone trolls surrounded them, upon originally arriving Lucy shrieked out upon seeing them but it was only after they noticed no movement from them did that keep Natsu and the others from destroying them since they obviously weren't trouble. Strider and the others continued to look out, keeping their eyes peeled for the Ringwraith's who seemed to be following them still.

"I wish I could help. I don't like hearing people in such pain and being unable to do anything." Wendy said in a sad voice as she sat down with her legs against her and arms wrapped around them.

Lucy knelt down in front of her and put a hand on her shoulder "It's okay Wendy. This is something entirely new to us and you can't blame yourself for it being like that. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be alright." Lucy says trying to reassure her.

"Is he going to die?" Pippin asks in a worried tone.

"You said something about him "turning," what do you mean by that?" Erza asks, she was now back in her normal armor.

Strider turned around "He's passing into the Shadow World. He'll soon become a Wraith like them." he explains.

"What?!" Gray questions in shock.

Frodo's eyes turn even paler as he lets out a painful gasp for air, suddenly a different screech echoes through the forest, but still belonging to the Ringwraith's.

"They're close." Merry says.

"How are they tracking us?" Lily questions.

"The Ringwraith's can smell the blood of living things that they desire and hate the most. But they are also drawn and can sense the presence of an item that we carry." Strider says.

"I'm guessing it's something not good with things like those chasing you." Gajeel says.

"Let's just say, you'll recognize it soon enough." Strider says before turning to Sam "Sam, do you know the Athelas plant?" he asks as Sam quickly gets up and runs up to him.

"Athelas?" Sam asks.

"Kingsfoil." Strider says as it seemed the plant went by another name.

"Kingsfoil aye it's a weed." Sam says now knowing what he was talking about.

"It may help to slow the poisoning. Hurry!" Strider says as he and Sam quickly take off to look for the plant.

"Gray, Gajeel, follow them and help them out." Erza says as the two nod their heads and quickly follow after them.

As Gray follows the path Strider took, he then hears something ahead of him "What's this? A Ranger caught off his guard?" it was a female voice. Gray put his hands together, ready to cast a spell if needed as he walked around a thick tree to see a woman with long black hair wearing a strange dark blue dress on a white horse holding a sword at Strider's neck as he stood back up with what was probably the plant he was talking about in his hands.

"Hey!" Gray yells catching the two's attention as he moved out and prepared to cast a spell, cold air surrounding his hands when Strider got in his way with his hands forward "Wait Gray. It's okay. She's a friend of mine." Strider says.

"Really? Not a lot of friends I know of who hold their friend at sword point." Gray questions.

"We don't have time to argue. If we are to save Frodo you will not harm her." Strider says.

Gray reluctantly agrees and lowers his hands.

Back with the others…

Natsu and Wendy both sniff the air, smelling something as they turned making Lucy, Erza, and the Exceeds turn around as well. Frodo also seems to notice something, a bright light coming from his right as he slowly turns his head to see a horse and someone on top of it, covered by a bright light appear. The figure steps down and reveals herself to be a woman with long dark hair as she walks up to him and kneels down beside him "Frodo." she says.

Natsu and the others are about to do something when suddenly Strider and the others appear coming from behind her "It's okay. She's a friend." Strider quickly says before they can do anything.

The woman then speaks, her voice calm and soothing, in a strange language to Frodo, one the Fairy Tail mages have never heard of before.

"I am Arwen. I've come to help you. Hear my voice...Come back to the light…"

Frodo turns away, his voice rasping as he seemed to be trying to breathe. "Who is she?" Merry asks.

Strider rushed up to Frodo's side and knelt down with the kingsfoil plant in hand. "Frodo." the woman says again, her hair moving to reveal to the shock of the Fairy Tail mages, her pointed ears.

"She's an elf." Sam says.

"An...elf…" Lucy says quietly in awe. Having of heard about elves in old fairy tale stories that her mother used to read to her when she was little. And now, here was one, living, breathing, pointy-eared, and beautiful might she add, elf before her.

"He's fading." Arwen says as she moves his clothing to get a look at the stab wound. The area around it was darkened with dark marks seeming to be spreading out a bit around it. Strider takes of a piece of the plant and licks it, placing it onto the wound causing Frodo to gasp out in pain and for air again.

"He's not going to last. We must get him to my father.' Arwen says as Strider picks Frodo up and begins to carry him over to her horse, everyone watching this.

"I've been looking for you for two days." Arwen says when Merry worryingly asks "Where are you taking him?" but is ignored.

"There are five Wraiths behind you. Where the other four are, I do not know." Arwen says as Strider places Frodo onto the horse's saddle.

"Stay with the Hobbits and these strangers. I'll send horses for you." Strider says now speaking in the language she spoke.

"I'm the faster rider, I'll take him." Arwen replies.

"The road is too dangerous." Strider says shaking his head slowly.

"What are they saying?" Pippin quietly questions.

"Hey, hey, at least speak in the same language so the rest of us can understand you…" Gajeel says quietly a bit annoyed.

"If I can get across the river, the power of my people will protect him. I do not fear them." Arwen says, the last part in the common language allowing everyone to hear her.

"According to your wish…" Strider whispers finally agreeing to it, sliding a hand onto her's. Strider walks back as she mounts her horse sitting behind Frodo "Arwen...ride hard. Don't look back." Strider says, Arwen nods her head and has her horse begin to takeoff "Ride fast Asfaloth, ride fast!"

"What are you doing?! Those Wraiths are still out there!" Sam angrily yells at Strider but is ignored by him as he watches her off with a worried look.

"That may be, but we need to trust his decision." Erza says catching the Hobbits' attention. "Her method of travel is much faster than our own. Meaning she has a higher chance of getting to wherever this Rivendell is much faster, and as such, a higher chance of saving your friend. All we can do is hope for them that they don't run into trouble, and make it there." Erza says.

The Hobbits stare back off in the direction the elf went with Frodo, sadly and reluctantly, they have to agree with what Erza said since she was right. All they could do was hope that they would make it to Rivendell without being caught by the Wraiths and Frodo would be saved and waiting for them by the time they arrived.

The Fairy Tail mages also looked on, before all of them began looking at one another, all of them thinking the same thing. Whatever happened, whatever brought them here, it was for some kind of purpose that they did not yet know about. However, they had a feeling they would know about it soon enough.

Author's Note:

HELLO! Everyone. So-Pro Warrior here with a new story and, you guessed it. Fairy Tail and Lord of the Rings! Oh boy am I looking forward to this one, and I mean A LOT! I was actually stuck on deciding what story I was going to do since I cancelled/postponed Harry Potter and the Ringed Wizard. Both of them were stories involving a crossover with Lord of the Rings, but the decisions were between Lord of the Rings and well Fairy Tail, or Lord of the Rings and Kamen Rider (which might be another Neo-Heisei Riders one for those who follow me and my Neo-Heisei Riders Tail story).

But in the end since I have two other Kamen Rider stories going on at the moment, I decided to do a crossover, other than Kamen Rider with my most favorite anime series ever since I started watching it (and am sad that it is on hiatus till next year :(...) Fairy Tail! Soooooo here's this. But most likely once I finish this I'll do a Kamen Rider one so hey ;). Also...this is going to be my first attempt at trying to do a romance thing in a story as well, big NaLu shipper (NATSU X LUCY FOREVER! What can I say, I see something between them and...not even joking they are my first ever shipping that I've actually ever thought off in any kind of media so yeah XD). I mean sure I plan on doing some romance between them in Neo-Heisei Riders Tail, but for what I've got planned is wayyyy to far away at the moment compared to how short this is going to be, since it's only three movies...soooo yeah. Going to be my first ever story involving a side story of romance so I hope I do well since I've never done this before hehehe…(sweatdrops).

So, for all you Fairy Tail, Lord of the Rings, and NaLu shipping fans out there. Hope you enjoy!
