Third Person


Aragorn walks out from beneath the ruin and finds a troop of Uruk-hai advancing towards him. He walks towards them, touching his sword to his forehead. The Uruks attack. Aragorn cuts several down, but they force him up the stairs of the seat. Sam is searching frantically for Frodo in the woods.

"Mister Frodo!" Sam yells

"Find the Halflings and the girl! Yaggh! Find the Halflings and the girl!" Lurtz yells at his troops

"Elendil!" Aragorn yells


Legolas and Gimli run forward from behind the the ruin. Legolas shoots several Uruk-hai; Gimli lands blows with his axe.

"Aragorn! Go!" Legolas says

Frodo runs and hides behind a tree. Across the way, Merry, Pippin, and Lyra hide in a space under some fallen tree trunks.

"Frodo!" Merry says


"Hide here! Quick! Come on!" Pippin says

Frodo looks at them, then shakes his head.

"What's he doin'?" Pippin asks

"He's leavin'." Merry tells him


"No!" Pippin says and runs out towards Frodo]

"Pippin!" Merry says and goes after him, with Lyra behind him

Merry, Pippin and Lyra are now out in the open. Several Uruk-hai are coming down the hill, towards them.

"Run, Frodo! Go!" Merry says to Frodo


Merry cups his hands and calls out to the Uruk-hai.

"Hey! Hey you! Over here!" Merry yells

"Hey!" Pippin shouts

"Over here!" Merry calls


"This way!" Pippin yells as he waves his arms

Both Hobbits and Lyra run away from Frodo. The Uruk-hai troop follows them. Frodo makes a break for it, running in the opposite direction.

"It's working!" Pippin exclaims

"I know its working! Run!" Merry says


Back at the hilltop, Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli continue to fight the Uruk-hai. In one smooth move, Legolas stabs one Uruk with an arrow then shoots it out at another. Gimli wields his axe. Aragorn stabs one behind his back. Merry, Pippin and Lyra run across an old stone bridge. At its far end, they stop and see Uruk-hai running towards them. The Uruks are closing in, both in front and behind. An Uruk runs up to them, raising his battleaxe. Boromir comes charging in, knocks the Uruk back, and kills him with his own axe. He throws a knife at another. More close in. Lyra fights off many that come at her. Legolas kills Orc after Orc. He shoots down an Uruk who has closed in on Aragorn. Three loud horn blasts are heard.

"The Horn of Gondor!" Legolas exclaims


"Boromir!" Aragorn says

He runs down the slope towards the sound, but Uruks are between him and Boromir. The forest sweeps by as he goes. Boromir sounds the Horn of Gondor again. The Uruks attack Boromir. Aragorn battles madly towards Boromir. Boromir kills two more. Merry, Pippin and Lyra stab some Orcs.
