In Search of the One Ring

Chapter six: Nobody calls a Ring Wraith ugly!!
// So, continuing the cliffhanger from last time, Merry, Pip, Frodo and Sam are surrounded by the Ring Wraiths...
Pippin: Now what do we do?
Merry: Well... err... we stand and fight! Draw your swords!
// The hobbits draw their swords and slowly back away. The Wraiths also draw their swords.
Frodo: ...mommy?
Wraith #1: (telepathically) Okay boys, let's get him!
Merry: I got a BAD feeling about this...
// Sure enough, Merry is right. Merry is always right... tee hee. 'Newayz... the Wraiths push Pippin, Merry and Sam aside. Frodo is left facing them.
Frodo: Uh-oh. (drops sword and backs away) Guys... a little help here? Please? (trips) Aah!
// Wraiths close in
Frodo: I'm doomed. (puts the ring on)
// And, all of a sudden, Frodo can see in the dark! Not only that, but he can also see through the cloaks of the Ring Wraiths! Now there's a shock for a small hobbit!
Frodo: WHOA! You guys are UGLY!
Wraith #1: What?! Nobody calls a Ring Wraith ugly! Die!! (stabs Frodo)
Frodo: Urh!
Strider: (deciding this would be a good time to show up and save the day... or what's left of it... wait, it's night... whatever) HEY! What are YOU doing here?
Wraith #3: Umm...
Wraith #5: Err...
Wraith #1: Get him!!
Strider: I really don't think so! (takes a torch out of nowhere) Burrrn, baby, burrrn!
// Somehow, Aragorn manages to sent all the Wraiths flying off the tower, with their cloaks burning and their pride sliced and diced.
Strider: Frodo... ? Where are you?
Frodo: (takes off the ring) H... here!
Strider: Whoa. Are you OK?
Frodo: (Gasp) Do I (pant) look OK (pant pant) to you?
Strider: Okay, stupid question.
Sam: (closing in with Merry and Pippin) What's with him?
Strider: He's been stabbed by a blade of Mordor. Wicked thing. Either we get him to Rivendell fast, or he'll die.
Sam: But Rivendell is six days away, he'll never make it!
Strider: (picks up Frodo and heads away)
Sam: (pouts) Okay. But don't say I didn't warn you.
// And meanwhile, back with the Wraiths...
Wraith #3: Owie...
Wraith #1: What's with YOU?
Wraith #3: I think I broke my leg.
Wraith #2 & #4: Again ?!
Wraith #3: (makes a face, although we can't see it because of the cloak)
Wraith #1: Come on now, don't be mean. Let me take care of that.
// And after another bone rearrangement...
Wraith #1: There. All done. Good as new.
Wraith #3: Um... yeah.
Wraith #1: But... where the heck are the others? Numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9?
Wraith #5: Umm... they asked me to give you this. (gives Wraith #1 a piece of parchment)
Wraith #1: (unfolds it and reads) Dear Boss. Saruman the White called us to him. He's giving us these cool flying thingies to chase the ring bearer. You won't get any. Haha. Sincerely yours, numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9. (silence) Drat.
Wraith #4: Flying things? Heeey... no fair!
Wraith #2: Aw, forget this! Let's all just take a vacation and let them do the dirty work for us, shall we? Pleeeease?
Wraith #1: Well... okay. Let's get going then.
Wraith #5: Umm, boss? There is one "little" problem...
Wraith #1: (growls) Now what?
Wraith #5: Our horses ran away.
// Silence
Wraith #3: I'm hungry.
A/N: Reviews! Thank you, thank you very, very, very, very much! :)) I like the idea of "King Aragorn, the Pyromaniac", and so... King Aragorn is now an official Pyromaniac! And the "Everyone-is-always-hungry" idea is sorta real-life inspired, since *I*'m always hungry... lol. Anyway, keep the reviews coming! Thanks again! I love you guys!
