Chapter 124 - Secret Ending DLC - Raw Script idea

Before the last battle against Sauron, Talion defeated Isildur and threw his ring away to wear Isildur's ring.

Talion walked through the bridge, until encountering Grakmur. Grakmur was disappointed at Talion, clear by Grakmur's expression.

Grakmur looked at his right and up.

Grakmur: "You know... It really is a shame, truly... I always hoped you could change, but you never listened, nor wanted... Sorry, friend."

Then, the battle begun, and Eltariel silently moved and grabbed the ring Talion threw, and now, Eltariel quickly moved along Celebrimbor to defeat Sauron.

Meanwhile, Grakmur fought Talion.

Grakmur: "I gave you so many chances and opportunities to redeem yourself. So many attempts I wanted you to have a change in your heart and way."

"But you killed them all in it, shamed those who were above you, took control of them and killed the ones who refused."

The battle continued, Grakmur easily defending against everything Talion tried. Grakmur's shield blocked Talion's attacks with ease.

Grakmur: "I tried way many times, but only because I didn't wanted you to become one of them too. You're a human, but you decided to behave like an Uruk."

After the battle, Grakmur won, piercing his sword in Talion's torso. Grakmur moved the sword back, and Talion fell down, lying up down in the ground, barely alive.

Grakmur moved until kneeling at Talion's right side, and grabbed Talion's left wrist. Talion tried to resist, thinking Grakmur was going to grab Isildur's ring from him.

Grakmur: "Just for the last time. At least... How about a shake of rings..., friend?"

Talion hesitated, but then accepted, and their ring resonated as they shared their left hands. Then, Talion took his ring and placed it in Grakmur's left palm, and closed Grakmur's left hand, to then die as his hands remained holding Grakmur's left hand.

At the top of the tower, Sauron was already fighting Eltariel and Celebrimbor. But then, Grakmur appeared with a slight sad but firm serious expression, and wearing now Isildur's ring and having the marks of it in the eyes.

As Grakmur walked, two spectral phantoms followed in the sides and unseen. In Grakmur's left was Isildur, in Grakmur's right was Talion.

Then, Grakmur stopped and remained firm, and both spectral phantoms also stopped, but after a second, both slowly faded away.

Grakmur mentally talks with Talion and Isildur, and Talion claims to fight Celebrimbor, what leaves Grakmur surprised and confused to then wonder if Isildur will also choose a target, and then asks and Isildur claims that he will take his master, and then Grakmur goes to fight Eltariel while Isildur fights Sauron and Talion fights Celebrimbor.

After Grakmur wins, he grabbed the rings of Celebrimbor and Sauron to save them, while the light of Galadriel was destroyed by accident after Eltariel died.

Grakmur hesitated, nervous and unable to find any space where to save the rings, but then contradicts himself when notices his own fingers, and then looking surprised to his hands, notices the only space he has.

Grakmur, decided and determined to not leave the rings to the burden of anyone, declared himself as the holder, as he placed both rings on his right hand.

Grakmur then goes in search of the remaining Gondorians, and Talion tells Grakmur about visiting Shelob. Grakmur wonders about Shelob, but Talion doesn't tell him much as doesn't know her much aswell, but leads Grakmur to her.

Once Grakmur enters Shelob's cave, as same as when Talion used to visit her when was with elebrimbor, Shelob is eccentric and distant about Talion bringing an orc.

Shelob: "You pitiful man... Not even after all the sights I gave you, your fate remained the same... And now you also bring a pitty dirty orc to me..."

Grakmur: "It is also a pleasure to me to meet you."

Shelob then transformed into her true spider form as walked back.

Grakmur: "Oh, already showing me who you are? I'm flattered."

Grakmur then starts slowly walking forward, and all goes spectral and he goes into his true form. His form makes Shelob move back as Grakmur moves forward.

Talion remains surprised and spechless, but after a short moment both returned to normal forms.

Shelob: "My sights did not show me about you. That is already fascinating, coming from an orc, unless..."

Shelob then moved closer and around Grakmur, getting a full visual of him, and then noticing the four rings he was wearing.

Shelob: "... You are more than just an orc... Having such amount of power, is clear why I could not predict this to happen... You, along Talion, broke my sights and decided your fate your own way. I did see the future changing multiple times, almost constantly, and yet... I did never see you victorious in this scenario..."

Shelob finished circling Grakmur and stood in front of him.

Shelob: "And for what did come here?"

Grakmur: "In search of those who are like Talion."

Talion: "He means the Gondorians."

Grakmur: "The Mondorians."

Talion hesitated as turned to look at Grakmur.

Talion: "... Gondorians."

Grakmur: "Is not my fault that word sounds like Gondor, and then reminds me of Mordor, and I confuse the G with a M."

Shelob: "If I grant you sight, must be in exchange of a ring."

Grakmur hesitated while looking down at his left hand and the rings.

Grakmur: "... No, I won't let anyone make Mordor get back to how it was until now. I won't give you a ring for you to just become a lord and throw everything away."

Shelob: "And what makes you worth of my sights then?"

Grakmur: "Let me be straight with you. You either help me, or get out of my way. I killed Sauron and got rid of Celebrimbor and the light of Galadriel. I have much to do and no patience to spend with you. Bring Mordor up to be great is a weight that can tear everything down at any time, so don't make lose my time."

Shelob walked closer, and slowly placed her hands over his shoulders and whispered on his left ear.

Shelob: "... Are you sure of your words? You know what you want, but also what can happen then?"

Grakmur: "Is not as I can go back now. Not after what I did and all the weight over my back. So you can either join up, or remain away."

Shelob: "... Very well, I will grant you sight, but you will give me the ring of the Dark Lord."

Grakmur: "Don't test your luck, spider woman. As much I can offer you is Talion's ring, but only if Talion wants too."

Then all went spectral, and Talion was standing at Grakmur's right.

Talion: "As long as she helps us change Mordor. I don't see it wrong for her to have the ring me and Celebrimbor forged."

After a short moment, Shelob granted Grakmur the vision to know the location of where the remaining Gondorians were. After the sight was granted, Grakmur hesitated and slowly turned around to leave.

Grakmur: "Alright, we have work to do, friend."

Grakmur then started to walk away, and all went spectral and Talion was there observing Grakmur, but then, Talion turned and looked at Shelob.

Talion: "After everything, we can't allow you get in our way. You can either help us, or refuse. And if you try to take control, he will instantly kill you."

Talion then vanished as all went back normal and Shelob remained alone while planning the near future.

Grakmur is in Minas Morgul, dominating an orc who refuses as is unbreakable. But then, from Isildur's ring, starts to grow dark orange, and with an emerald color too.

Then, Isildur starts circling Grakmur by Grakmur's left.

Isildur: "The Ring obeys. As do you. None escape its will... not even those who believe they can. "

Grakmur hesitates, surprised as turns to look and follow Isildur moving as talks. Then, Talion appears circling at Grakmur's right, and Grakmur gets even more surprised as Talion talks and turns to look at Talion.

Talion: "Finish it off. Is unbreakable, and won't refuse the dark Lord."

Grakmur: "What? No. Friend, remember that everyone can try to have a change in their hearts and way. We don't need-"

Bagga: "Go ahead, traitor Lord. I will never help you, and will hunt you down!"

Grakmur hesitates, observing side way the orc.

Grakmur: "... Buddy... You just sentenced yourself..."

Then, Grakmur's left hand does a small explosion, pushing his hand and the orc's head, and then Grakmur quickly moved his right hand, and swing the sword slashing the orc's head, decapitating it.

After some time, Grakmur fought a Nazgûl, and grabbed the ring to save it but was incapable of finding any space as his armor didn't had any space as pockets, so not wanting to wear it, he tried to save it eitherway, but then was ambushed by a group of uruks.

In the battle, as Grakmur fought, the ring accidentally fell with ease. But before any orc could wear it, Grakmur quickly recovered it and then finished them.

After that, Grakmur decided to wear the ring, but having 4 rings of power, where 2 were Nazgûl rings, was already making him succumb.

But then, when he was falling, he got up and then moved his arms and hands to his chest.

Grakmur: "You may have taken my mind and my body, but there's one thing my soul always keeps... MY WILL!!"

Then, Grakmur extended his arms open, and during his words his ring and the first he always weared started to glow red lightful, and then when Grakmur moved his arms the ring released a red crimson beacon light.

This red crimson beacon moved to the sky, and was visible in all Mordor and further beyond Mordor. Grakmur's face and eyes cleaned from the Nazgûl marks, and his pupils glowed red crimson.

The Nazgûl noticed the beacon, and moved to confront him. In the battle, Grakmur remained his sword and shield on his back to fight with his bare hands and punching and slashing with his fingers the Nazgûl.

Grakmur, out of insanity by his own determination, fought the eight Nazgûl remaining at the same time, using spectral flames and spectral red chains.

After a long battle, the Nazgûl retreated, but Grakmur reached to chain one with his red chains, and then slammed it into the ground. After a short moment, Grakmur ot another Nazgûl ring.

After months, and a very long but more exhaustive journey, Grakmur destroyed one by one the Nazgûl fortresses in Mordor, gaining the Nazgûl rings.

Once collected all Nazgûl rings, Grakmur travelled to Mount Doom along a smith bucket. After a heavy travel until entering Mount Doom with the smith bucket, Grakmur placed it down and filled it with lava, and then started quitting the rings one by one to throw them to the lava in the bucket.

The rings started smelting, but in the process, all went spectral, and all Nazgûl, Sauron, Celebrimbor, and Talion, appeared around Grakmur, observing and talking, but Grakmur ignored them all and finished throwing all the rings, except he's as it was impossible to remove by the attachment it had to Grakmur's soul.

Grakmur hesitated, but then he lifted his left hand, and quickly moved it inside the bucket. His left hand and wrist covered in the lava, but then another spectral appeared, Shelob.

Shelob grabbed and hold his left arm, repeating the word "Hold." while moving Grakmur's arm down to be more in the bucket and filled with lava, along holding it firmly with strength.

After a short moment, another spectral appeared, a red phantom, and nodded along Shelob, and then both moved to make Grakmur's red arm be in the bucket too. Grakmur hesitated, surprised, and now having to hold the extreme pain in both arms.

Grakmur's plan succeeded, but was being changed at the very end against how he thought it would be. The apparitions slowly faded away. The Nazgûl, Sauron, and Talion, vanished slowly, leaving only Shelob holding Grakmur's left arm and the red phantom holding Grakmur's right arm.

Both phantoms nodded again, and then moved quickly grabbing the bucked from the bottom, and threw it over Grakmur, making him be pushed back and covered by the lava to then fall into the lava of Mount Doom.

The rings were already smelted and fusing with Grakmur's ring, as he thought, to hold them all in his left hand and ring, but the apparitions changed the plan.

After some time, Grakmur reached to get his left hand out of the lava. The metal of his armor, sword and shield, changed to a deep black tone, sharper and reinforced than any metal could ever be.

His sword had now teeth with the top covered in dark red color. His shield had now reinforcement in the reinforced plates and a fade dark green smoke around it that was impossible to see. His armor was now as no other, with the gauntlets with claws in the fingers, plates over the plates and reinforcement over layers of plates, his steps heavier than anything where every step made the ground under his foot shake, and in the middle of his chestplate where five gems.

A blue gem in the left bottom, a purple gem in the left top, an orange gem in the right bottom, a gold gem in the right top, and a red gem in the middle of his chest. Each gem glowed with their respective colors, but all were dark colored.
