[On The Wall, barrels of flaming oil are dropped down on the giants and the mammoth. The mammoth goes running off and one of the giants chases after it. Up top, one of the barrels got stuck and the men of the Night's Watch frantically tried to get it off the ramp. A spear is fired down at one of the giants and it hits him right in the back. The other giant shouts in anger and goes to raise the gate with his bare hands. The barrel explodes on the ramp. Sam approaches Jon]
"What are you doing up here?"
"The Wildlings are over the walls. Ser Alliser has fallen. The castle walls can't stand much longer.
"Ed. You have The Wall. If they try the mammoths again, drop fire on them. If the climbers get too high, drop the scythe on them."
"Good lad" Rickard nodded. Jon was precise and clear with his orders, no doubt or second-guessing in his tone. That was the tone a man should use when leading his army, the tone of a leader.
[Grenn gets to the inner gate with his men as THE GIANT continues to raise the gate]
"How are we gonna stop that?"
"Cut their legs off?" Bran suggested.
"Those are thicker than trees!" Arya exclaimed.
"Yes, but injuring them enough for him to drop the gates would also work," Ned said thoughtfully.
"Cut him behind the ankles and he won't be able to move. He's a giant, but he looks human enough for it to work" Brandon the Elder added.
Bran puffed up at the fact that his suggestion was not a bad one.
"We shot twenty-eight arrows in him already."
"You heard Jon, we hold the gate."
"Jon Snow's not Lord Commander."
"I don't see you taking charge" Lyanna glared.
[THE GIANT lifts the gate and goes under it]
"Mother save me. Father save me."
'The gods aren't down here. It's the six of us, you hear me?"
"No, please."
"Don't you dare run!" Robert snapped. This was crucial and they needed to work together here. One man leaving would upset the balance.
[THE GIANT rushes toward the inner gate as GRENN and his men stand in fear, ready to fight]
"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns"
"And win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come!"
[All TOGETHER they finish. DONNEL is no longer afraid]
Robert nodded with a smirk. A vow to rally them all, not the worst way to gather strength and courage.
[JON, SAM, and the other men ride the lift to the bottom. JON turns to SAM]
"I don't want you out there."
"You need all the men you can get!" Ned snapped, surprising Robb who was thinking along the same lines but was not expecting his uncle to blow up on him.
But Ned had not blown up on him. The man was staring at the wall. He had blown up on his future self.
"You can't protect me forever. There won't be anywhere to hide if the castle falls.
[JON hands SAM a key]
"I need him more than I need you."
"Ghost" Robb muttered with a grin. He'd forgotten that the wolf was locked in a pen. Jon would need him more than Sam.
[SAM nods as JON opens the lift door early and leaps. He joins the battle with the rest of his black brothers and the vision pans to show glimpses of multiple fights. Jon is seen fighting against multiple wildlings and coming out on top]
"You're better than me with a sword" Robb muttered, in awe of the battle.
"No, I improved in the future and so will you" Jon corrected him.
Robb threw him an annoyed glare.
"I know how good I can get because I know how I can fight, I can't take on as many men as you are now, not without damaging myself. You're more nimble on your feet, you dodge far easier than I do. My technique with a sword may be better, but you use your entire body to fight in a way that I can't. And if only you'd stop holding back in spars, you'd be the best sword in our age."
Jon rolled his eyes and looked away. All this didn't matter as he has Witcher's skills so he is confidant that no one is anywhere close to him anymore only Daenerys Targaryen can reach his level thanks to Mikasa's skills she inherited.
Lyanna frowned at the conversation, leaning forward to look at her brother. Ned glanced at her apologetically, and even Catelyn looked a little ashamed.
Ah, so that's the reason.
[Sam runs to a door and unlocks it. Ghost runs out and attacks one of the men that Jon was fighting. Styr sees Jon and rushes to fight him. They go at it for a bit. Ygritte runs out of arrows so she jumps down and steals some from a dead body. Styr and Jon are still fighting as Ygritte finally spots Jon. Styr slams Jon's face against an anvil. Jon kills Styr with a hammer.]
A small cheer erupted at Jon's victory but was quickly subdued. The fight was still not over after all.
[As he turns around he sees Yrgitte with an arrow aimed right at him. They both stare, Jon smiles. An arrow goes straight through Ygritte's chest. She falls to the ground. It was Olly.]
"No..." Lyanna whispered sadly. She knew how much her son liked that woman. She knew this would break him.
Like it broke her when she learned of Rhaegar's death at the Trident.
[Jon rushes to catch Ygritte]
"Do you remember that cave?"
[Jon nods]
"We should've stayed in that cave."
"We'll go back there."
"You know nothing, Jon Snow."
[Ygritte dies. The battle rages on as Jon holds Ygritte's dead body.]
Robb was not sure how to feel about this. On the one hand, his brothers future self cared deeply for the woman, probably even loved her. On the other hand, she was the enemy.
Love was the death of Duty, the words of Maester Aemon came to him then and he sighed softly.
[On the other side, RAYDER'S troops are climbing the wall. A massive scythe drops down on the men. RAYDER'S troops retreat. The Night's Watch cheers in excitement seeing them retreat.]
"Don't cheer too loud. They still outnumber us a thousand to one."
[Inside Castle Black's walls TORMUND is swinging his sword with two arrows in his back]
Many were surprised to see the man still fighting with two arrows in the back. Those who had fought in war knew that falling over from such an injury would mean the end. They all respected Tormund's will and spirit to continue the fight.
"Tormund. It's over, let it end."
"This is how a man ends."
[JON grabs a crossbow and shoots TORMUND in the leg then kicks away his weapon]
"Put him in chains. We'll question him later."
"I should've thrown you from the top of your wall boy!"
"Aye, you should've."
"Hostages wouldn't do well here" Brandon the Elder frowned. "These men and women are here to fight, they wouldn't sacrifice shit for a few captured ones."
Ned nods with a small sigh.
Jon sighs but has no defence.
[GILLY hears someone entering her room. She grabs a leg of meat as a weapon and rushes the door]
"Woah! It's me. It's me. I promised you, didn't I?"
[SAM turns around and sees JANOS.]
"Coward" Jaime swore under his breath.
Robert blinked slowly. This was the commander of his Gold Cloaks?
Renly did all he could to avoid Robert's gaze. It had been he to appointed Janos Slynt to the position of Commander of the Gold Cloaks. Little Finger may have suggested it, but it was still him as Master of Laws who put that coward in such a position.
[Outside the Night's Watch clean up after the battle. SAM and JON descend the stairs]
"We held them off."
"For one night."
"This is a great victory."
"Great victory? Mance was testing our defences. He almost made it through. And he has more giants, he has more mammoths. He has a thousand times as many men. They'll hit us again tonight. Maybe we can hold them off for a day or two, but we can never beat them."
The realization had them all dreading once more. If a small company did this, just a force to test their defences, what would the rest do?
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Mance."
"Absolutely not!" Lyanna shouted, making Jon who was sitting beside her wince from the loud voice.
"To... you can't do that. No one gave you any orders.
"Who's left to give orders? The Wildling army is only an army because of Mance. He united a hundred warring tribes. Without Mance, they lose their leader. They lose their purpose, they go back to fighting each other and scatter back to their home.
"Without Mance? You're going to kill him?"
"I'm going to try."
