Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Lord of the Rings. Enjoy the 1000-word chapter. I don't own Lord of the Rings. J. R. R Tolkien and Middle Earth Enterprises do.

Gladius raised his sword before stabbing through the Uruk warrior charging him, the black haired, brown eyed ranger turned and cut down another before kicking the body to the side.

"Blasted creatures, brother, I fear we will not last very long against this army!" He turned to see his brother Talion slice through another Uruk with his son Dirhael.

"We cannot keep fighting or the Uruks will overwhelm the wall of Gandor!"

The ranger shouted back as Gladius turned and cut down another Uruk with his blade before kicking another over the wall, he peered down to see dozens, possibly hundreds of Uruks climbing up the wall as he turned only to be clubbed to the ground by one Uruk before the soldier raised his sword to end the man's life before another hand stopped him, knocking the creature to the floor.

"No, you fool, the Hand of Sauron wants them alive for the ritual…. But he didn't say they had to be awake."

The Man said as he raised his mace and knocked the last of the consciousness from the ranger.

Gladius awoke to the sound of two figures talking, he could feel that a blade had been dragged along his neck.

'How am I still among the living within this realm?' Gladius thought as he was about to rise when the figures began to speak up once more.

"You possessed the ranger, my liege? I would think we would find more suitable vessels along the dozens of corpses carpeting the walls."

"Arcum, these warriors will be our allies in our quest, I don't question that more suitable bodies remain but there are none more suited to our tasks then these rangers."

"As your words imply, my liege." Gladius rose to his feet.

"How do I still draw breath? Last, I thought, death had embraced me…. Brother!" The ranger ran to his brother as he looked at the two spirts.

"Who are you and how are we defying death after our throats were cut like strings?"

"I am Arcum, I cannot disclose the identity of my companion here, we must leave before more Uruks arrive." Gladius looked at his sibling before nodding.

"Fine then, I'm going to cut down every Uruk I can find, they shall pay for every man they killed here, every drop of blood with all of their blood." The undead ranger and wraith began to walk away as Gladius took one last look at Talion.

"That is one way to handle this situation, the other…. Is unorthodox."

"And what, pray tell, is that, my brother will no doubt want to collect the head of whoever slayed his wife and son, and we need to draw out the army's leaders anyway." Arcum scratched his chin as the two stopped at a cliff and Gladius looked down at least 2 dozen Uruks below them.

"The Uruks are savage beasts but their also mindless, their chain of command can be cut…. Or corrupted like a rusted sword." Gladius looked at the elven spirt.

"Your suggesting we try and recruit these monsters to our side? I highly doubt we possess the abilities to do that without much difficulty."

"RANGER, I'LL DINE ON YOUR BONES WHEN I'M DONE TEARING THEM TO SHREDS!" Gladius turned to see 6 or so Uruks behind him.

"You want me to corrupt them into an army?" Gladius asked as he pulled his sword off his back and readied himself for a battle.

"See if you can make sure one or two of them survive, I can see if we can bend them to our will." Gladius nodded and parried the blow of one Uruk while elbowing another and pushing him away.

'Six of them means they're be able to outmaneuver and tire me out if I don't cut a few of them down first.'

Gladius thought as he parried another blow while backpedaling and then lashing out with a slash that cut one Uruk down while he stepped backwards and allowed the momentum from the blow of another Uruk to carry the warrior over the cliff to his death.

"Come on, you beasts, I'll cut you down like a plague!"

The four Uruks charged as Gladius cut another down as he parried the strike from his club before turning dodging the strike from the other soldier as the Uruk cut down his comrade, leaving the 2 remaining Uruks on the battlefield.

'Now, Gladius, focus your mind on bending their will to yours!' Arcum cried out loud as Gladius turned and parried the blows before responding.

'How? I am not familiar with spell casting!' He jumped back as another blow was thrown his way.

'Close your eyes and concentrate.' Gladius nodded and allowed the wraith to guide him as he extended his hand and the two Uruks screamed as Arcum forced his way through their minds like a shroud as their eyes blazed blue.

'If we can recruit enough Uruks, you and your sibling can destroy Sauron's forces…. But our path must like separate from them for now, we should gather or exterminate as many Uruks as we can find.' Gladius stood on the cliff edge.

"Lead the way Arcum, our quest for vengeance starts with Sauron's army's fall."

Author notes

Ok, this story is going to be within its own cannon, the same events from the game and movies will still happen but events will happen differently than in the game. also, I know the chapter is short but the next one will be longer, I am not the best at first chapters. Next chapter will be on Friday. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!

P.S, I am going to try my best with the grammar but don't expect Shakespeare like most things associated with this franchise and the names are the best I could do…. Also, I'll explain Gladius's and Arcum's powers as they are used.
