Third Person
Orcs pour out of the Black Gate. Aragorn addresses an unsettled army of men.
"Hold your ground! Hold your ground." Aragorn says "Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me."
"A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day." Aragorn continues "An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!"
"By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!" Aragorn yells
The soldiers draw swords. The orc masses begin to encircle the army of men. Aragorn and his company have dismounted for some reason, and are not using bows. Back at the Black Gate, the army prepares for battle. The Orcs greatly outnumber the men.
"Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf," Gimli says
"What about side by side with a friend?" Legolas asks looking down at him
"Aye, I could do that," Gimli says looking at him
At the Black Gate, the Eye calls out.
"Aragorn... Elessar..." Sauron whispers
Aragorn appears momentarily tempted by the voice. He turns back to address Gandalf. Gandalf, holding Frodo's shirt, looks questionably at Aragorn.
"For Frodo," Aragorn says serenely
Waving his sword, Aragorn runs towards the orcs, yelling. Merry and Pippin run in after him, the rest of the army soon following. Nazgûl fly over the fighting at the Black Gate. Back at the Black Gate, the Nazgûl descend. As Gandalf fights, a familiar moth flies in front of his face. Gandalf's face brightens. Bird cries are heard. Several Eagles appear and attack the Nazgûl.
"Eagles! The Eagles are coming!" Pippin yells
The Nazgûl beasts and the Eagles fight. Fighting continues at the Black Gate. Aragorn turns to look at a huge troll heading his way. Aragorn engages the troll. Aragorn is thrown to the ground. Legolas sees this and tries to make his way to Aragorn. Aragorn and Legolas continue their struggle. At the Black Gate, the troll stomps on the fallen Aragorn. Aragorn takes out his dagger and stabs the troll in the foot. The Eye cries out.
Sauron's troops look back to Mordor, then flee. Left alone, Aragorn stands and with the others and looks on. The tower of Barad-dûr slowly falls over. The Eye of Sauron disappears, letting loose a great shockwave. The army of the West cheers. The surrounding landscape crumbles. The Black Gate collapses as the ground caves in. Much of Sauron's army falls as well.
"Frodo! Frodo!" Merry yells
The men yell in victory. Mount Doom erupts in a large explosion. The eruption kills the remaining Nazgûl.
