Title: Here they come...
Rating: PG
Summary: The characters from LotR experience their first Mary Sues and learn how to deal with them. So far, Faramir, Denethor, Gimli, Lurtz, and Theoden have been 'Sued. I will take requests....
Disclaimer: I don't own LotR. I wish I owned Faramir or Glorfindel, but I don't. I only own Bob and sort of own Raven the Mary Sue, who is based on one of my friends. All else belongs to Tolkien the Almighty Author-Lord of Arda.
Chapter 6 Summary: Wormtongue. I actually had a friend of mine volunteer to be the MS. Odd, huh. Oh well....
REVIEW RESPONSES:
littlegypsysquirrel: All right. You're in this chapter, though not as the MS. Just read it and see. It's strange....I never thought of you as a Gríma fan....
Elven Mischief: I'm doing my best to keep Krystal from becoming a Mary Sue (i.e. the dramatic entrance gone wrong). She won't be romancing any of the characters, though.
The Hobbit, the Horseman and the Orc: Well, you're entitled to your opinion. You like Lurtz? That's great! I was wondering how I could get rid of these....hands over three shirt-repelling Lurtz clones Hope you enjoy them more than I did.... The MS wasn't based on you. Feel free to wear whatever color you want when going after Uruks, as long as you don't do it in front of me. Feel free to think what you want, but I have a soft spot for Boromir, and I think he died like a hero; more like a hero than Lurtz did. I don't feel like arguing right now, though, so I'll just leave you to enjoy the clones.
Lady FP of the Rings: Thanks!
kingmaker: Thanks. The Silmarillion was worth it, though. Yes, with the Elves and Dwarves it's always hard to tell.... Yeah, after facing down Mary Sues, the Witchking's easy.... Stupid messed up dramatic entrances....that one was particularly painful.... Oh, yes, that's a good idea! I'd love to stick Tolkien in and have him deal with a Sue. I think that could be the climax, and he'll get rid of the Gollum Sue.... Eowyn will be back, definitely. Thank you so much for your devotion to my stories. Seriously, reading your reviews is the highlight of my week. hugs
Author's Note: Meep! hides from all the impatient readers I know, I know, I took forever, but I had writers' block and I was really busy and my mother kept stealing the computer....but it's finally done! Yes, yes, I know it's short, but the next chapter will be nice and long, I promise.
A special thanks to kingmaker for helping me get over my horrible case of writer's block. bows Thank you, thank you, thank you!
"Wormtongue?!" Krystal stared at him and the impossibly beautiful girl next to him. "Oh, no....not him...." She stuck her head through the door behind her. "Eowyn!" she called. "We have another one....and you won't believe who she went after!" Eowyn walked out, and her jaw dropped. "Him?" she asked.
Krystal nodded. "Yes." She took another look at the Sue. She looked strangely familiar....
[flashback]
Wormtongue rode through the forest, staring in amazement. It had only appeared a few minutes ago, and he was relatively sure both that Fangorn was the only forest remotely near Rohan, and that he was nowhere near there. Nevertheless, a forest it definitely was. Rather dark and creepy, but Gríma was no stranger to dark and creepy. He practically personified it.
Suddenly, a random cliff loomed before him. He rode up to a section that seemed darker than the rest. Pushing aside some tree branches, he discovered an opening in the rock. He got off his horse, tied it to a tree, and slunk inside. Feeling his way along a wall, he went deeper inside. A voice spoke out of the darkness.
"Who enters my cavern?" The voice was low, menacing, and seemed to come from every direction. Wormtongue looked panicky.
"Who are you?" he asked the darkness. A low light grew in front of him. By the light he could see the outline of a girl, dressed in black. The light came from a phial she held her hands over. Her hair was raven-black, her eyes were like liquid darkness dotted with the glint of silver starlight. Her lips and fingernails were black, and she wore altogether too much eyeshadow for her own good. "I am Raven," she said. "But you still have not told me who you are, and why you are in my cave."
"I am Gríma, sometimes called Wormtongue, former counselor to King Théoden," he answered.
"If you serve Théoden, than why are you not by his side? This country is at war. Should you not be aiding your king?" she asked with a piercing stare.
Wormtongue, as he looked on her incredible beauty, wondered. Why had he betrayed his king in the first place? For treasure? For the chance to get Éowyn? No treasure was more beautiful than the woman before him, and Éowyn didn't even come close. He hung his head. "I am ashamed to be what I am, now that I have seen you. I was the king's counselor, but I betrayed him. I wish now to be back by his side, fighting for the cause of right!" Wormtongue said. "I thank you for bringing me to my senses, Raven."
Raven sighed to herself. She was such a sucker for changes of heart.... "Then I will come with you. I am not evil, but a friend of the shadows. If even a traitor such as you can find it in his heart to rejoin his king, than I too should be helping in what way I can, rather than watching from this cave." She stood up.
Wormtongue smiled, his first true smile in who knows how long. "Then we will go to Helm's Deep!"

Krystal suddenly realized who the Sue reminded her of. "Caitlin?!" she asked incredulously. The Sue looked confused. Krystal advanced, grabbing the Sue by her leather choker. "Caitlin is your authoress. Am I right?" The Sue still looked confused. Krystal sighed. "Well, only one way to find out for sure." She released the Sue's collar and concentrated.
There was a flash, and a dark-haired girl of seventeen appeared next to the Sue. Krystal nodded. "I thought so. Welcome to Helm's Deep, Caitlin."
Caitlin looked around. She was standing in a stone fortress, next to her Sue creation and Wormtongue. In front of her, looking very irate, stood Éowyn and....Krystal?
"Krystal? What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Trying to protect the canon," Krystal replied. "What on Arda possessed you to write a Sue?"
Caitlin grinned sheepishly. "Well, why not? He's evil, wears black, and just look at him! How can you not resist that face!"
Krystal looks at Caitlin, then to Wormtongue, then back at Caitlin. "Pretty easily." She frowned. Krystal had quite a dilemma on her hands. If she eliminated the Sue, Caitlin would be completely crushed, but she couldn't allow this evil to run unchecked. Neither seemed like a good idea. What should she do? She didn't want to hurt her friend, but she had to keep the Sues at bay. Her musings were interrupted, however, when Éowyn growled and pulled out her sword.
"I bet you think you're really clever, right?" she said menacingly. "Oh yes, let's just steal any boy we want, huh? Who can resist the charms of the oh-so-perfect, tortured-past, genetics-defying, mysteriously- appearing, ride-all-day-but-still-have-perfect-hair Mary Sue? Well, some of us don't appreciate you and your kind barging in and taking any man you want!" Éowyn ranted. "Even though he's a slimy little jerk, Wormtongue happens to be the only man who has ever noticed me! It's rather nice to have a guy throw himself at you, no matter how annoying the guy in question may be! But NO, you and your kind have to appear and steal everybody's hearts, and take away the only guy who's ever sent me flowers!"
"He sent you flowers? Krystal asked. "I didn't think he was the type...."
Éowyn shrugged. "It was a bunch of slightly wilted simbelmynë, but it was still nice of him! Now, Sue, you're going to pay for your infringement on my life." She raised her sword and brought it down on the Sue. "DIIIIIIIEEE!!!" The Sue dissolved into glitter. Wormtongue blinked a few times, looked around at all the grim-faced guards around him, made a little "eeep!" sound, and ran for his life.
Caitlin looked rather sad for a moment, then shrugged and said, "Oh well, maybe I'll have better luck in another fandom" and disappeared. Éowyn sheathed her sword. "I'm glad that's dealt with," Krystal said. "Maybe I can take a break now...."
No such luck.
"Krystal! Krystal!" a voice shouted. Krystal turned around to see Rúmil riding up to the gate. She dashed down to meet him.
"Rúmil, what's going on?" Krystal asked when she arrived. Rúmil sighed. "It's one of those dratted Sues again."
"Another one?" Krystal asked. Many Sues tried to enter the Golden Wood, but few actually managed it. "Which kind? Is it another going after your brother Haldir, or one pretending to be Galadriel's long-lost daughter?"
Rúmil shook his head. "It's worse than that, much worse."
"Worse? How can it be worse than people showing up pretending to be my long-lost sister?" Krystal said, dread in her voice.
"It can. One showed up two days ago, and everyone in Lothlorien was under her control within hours. I only just barely escaped."
Krystal was growing impatient. "So, what's she after?"
Rúmil sighed. "You're not going to believe it, but she's after Celeborn."
It's done! It's finally done! I know, I left you with another To Be Continued kinda thing, but next chapter will be great, I promise! Reviews keep the updates coming....
