*Thorin's POV*

As we charge onto the battlefield we give our all. We unleash fury and turn our sorrows to rage from the last battle here on the fronts. I swing, slicing Orcs left and right. Many of our kin lay dead which give me even more gumption and power to keep fighting. After killing an Orc four more charge at me at once. Glancing I see the familiar red-haired dwarf "Dain!" I call stabbing an Orc.
"Thorin!" he shouts hitting an Orc with his hammer "Hold on! I'm coming!"
On the shoulders of an Orc, he flings it to the ground and smashes its head. "Hey cousin, what took you so long?!" 

I chuckle as I bring him in an embrace "I just needed a little shaking up is all."
An Orc comes behind me but I strike at it without barely looking.
"Lad, is that....lipstick on your mouth there?" Dain asks.

 I reach up and feel my mouth and my eyes widen as I remember the kiss Molly and I had shared.
"No." I say quickly as Dain and I go back to back fighting Orcs. Dain hits two Orcs.

 "I know lipstick when I see it Thorin. And you got a wee peck on your mouth there."
I groan decapitating an Orc "It is not lipstick."
Dain laughs kicking an Orc "Is too."
I growl "Is not."
He chuckles "Is too!"
I then slice three Orcs at once with one blow "Is not!"
We both sigh and look around "There's too many of these buggars, Thorin. I hope you've got a plan."
I look up and see the hilltop on which Azog's wooden machines and signaling orders. I nod "Aye - We're going to take out their leader!"
Dain seems puzzled "Azog..."
I stride forward and mount a large goat that Dain's army had brought. I glare at Azog "I'm gonna kill that piece of filth!" 

Before I take off Dain shouts "Thorin!" 

I turn to see an Orc already swinging down his sword but an arrow catches it in the back and it screams then another in its head. As it slumps over dead I look around to find Kili but instead, I see Molly standing on top of the hill towards Dale. She puts down her bow and smiles and I look at her in amazement. She's dressed in the same clothes she wore the day I met her along with some light dwarvish armor. She nods with a worried smile and takes off towards Dale.
"Thorin?" Dain says.
I turn and look at him and he points "Marry that woman."
I chuckle with a nod before taking off. I am then followed by Dwalin, Fili, and Kili, each on a mountain goat, as we charge towards Azog's hill, smashing through the Orc armies in our way.

*Molly's POV*

I snuck into the city of dale only to be met by fleeing women, children, and young boys. As I look at the rushing crowd I see Bard's kids.
"Molly!" Bain shouts.
I push through the crowd and to the kids.
"Are you all alright?" I ask.
They nod and I motion forward "Come on let's go."
We follow the running crowd as close as we can but we fall behind. While we're running to keep up an Orc jumps in front of us. The girls scream and I take out my sword as the Orc charges. I jab towards it hitting it right in the center of its chest. It hits the ground dead and were silent then I laugh "Ha! I did it! Haha!"
I look back at the kids who look frightened and the eldest one who is about my age holding her hand out.
I nod "Right, sorry, let's go."
As we are running we crash into Bard. 

I gasp "Bard!" he smiles and his kids run hugging him.
"Da!" they exclaim. As they are all smiling and hugging I look down the street to see Gandalf and Bilbo. I look at the family and then begin leaving them.
"Molly!" Bard calls.
I stop and turn as he smiles "Thank you."
I nod "What are friends for?" and I run towards the Wizard and Hobbit.
