I have been loving this feedback everyone! I didn't think this would become so popular so soon! I was nervous writing a full on fight scene, and juggling it between three characters. Reviews, comments and messages are so valued to me. Now, let's get this chapter started!
It was hours before Thor could take Loki away from the body. He refused to leave her there, all by herself on the rotting planet, she deserved better than that. She deserved better than him. Thor shook his brother by the shoulders, he had never seen the usually deceivingly evil God like this. He had completely shut down. "Loki please. Get up. For Evalith's sake, get up. We must stop Malekith before the convergence."
Jane Foster sat quietly beside some stones, unable to keep the images from the Aether out of her mind. When the Aether left her body, she saw the convergence and the world burning toward the sun. The Dark Elves had risen and Malekith had brought the entirety of the realms onto darkness. The images played over and over, like a terrifying rerun. If I hadn't discovered the gravity gaps, this wouldn't have happened. Evalith would still be here.
"What is the point anymore? I lost the only person in all the realms that never gave up on me. And I let her down Thor. I broke the promise!" Loki screamed, bashing his fists on the ground, he had cuts all over his hands. I couldn't even keep her safe. Thor sighed and kneeled down next to his brother, "Loki. This wasn't you're doing. But Evalith would want you to bring down Malekith, so this doesn't happen to anyone else." Loki scratched his neck, "I don't care about anyone else!" Jane sat up, running over to Thor with her mobile in her hand. She looked surprised and flustered, "Thor I'm getting a call from Darcy! There has a gap in the gravity here." Thor looked at his brother, trying to plead once more, "Loki, please." Loki slowly lifted his head with tears still trickling down his face, "No". And with that, the God of Mischief had simply disappeared. He was truly broken now.
"Allfather, there was no sign of Thor, Loki or the mortal. But there was a body." The guard bowed in front of his king. Odin laid his hands on his lap, pulling his head up, "Who was it?" But he already knew the answer to that. "Allfather… It… It was the princess Evalith." Lifting Gungnir, Odin in his rage slammed the spear onto the ground.
Jane and Thor walked across the dirt and dust, following the signal from the mobile phone. "It has to be a gravity gap Darcy and Ian found." Entering a cave, Jane held her phone higher and the signal grew stronger. Taking a small rock from her feet, she threw it in front of her and it vanished. "There it is!" Holding Thor's hand, they walked through the gap. Another blink and Jane found herself back in rainy London and Thor stood behind her, "What do we do now?" Immediately, Jane had an idea, "We have to go find Darcy, Ian and Erik. We need their help!" Getting back into her car that was left behind from the when they first discovered the gaps, Jane started the car, of course, Thor had a little trouble getting in. "You mortals should definitely create large forms of transportation!" Jane laughed at her God of Thunder and revved the engine.
Jane burst through the door completely shocking Darcy and Ian. "Where the hell have you been, you can't just pop into the rainbow road and not call!" Jane rushed passed Darcy, where she found Erik pantless on the dining room table, "It helps him think" Ian cleared that up. "Where are the toasters?!" Jane was rummaging through the mess, "We need them to shift the energy to stop the convergence." Thor hung Mjolnir on the coat rack and joined Jane. Erik cleared the table, placing a map down with scribbles and markings all over it. "Now, I've marked exactly the centre of our convergence, this is where we need to be in order to shift the energy." Following his finger, Thor looked over the pantless man's shoulders. "Greenwich, do we know where this is?" Thor looked at Jane, and she looked at Darcy, who looked at Ian, who watched Erik, "I'll need to get my pants on."
Darcy and Ian ran around the area, "Hurry up Ian, we have to mallet in the toasters!" Ian was frazzled, following Darcy around to the misunderstanding of tourists and onlookers. Jane and Erik watched from the tower, as she fiddled with her machine, "This has to work, it has to shift the energy." All of a sudden, the area went quite. Waves threw themselves above and onto ground and becoming clearer was the ship of the Dark Elves. Hitting the concrete, the giant ship broke through sending chunks of debris flying in to the air. Everywhere people ran in a frantic dash to get away, "We don't have enough time, grab the toaster and come on!" Ian picked up the two toasters and ran behind Darcy. Erik looked up at the sky, it was growing dark. The wind picked up, knocking over those who were trying to get away from the giant alien ship. The lights dimmed down, and the door opened, stepping out, Malekith looked around him. Looking at the sky, Jane and Erik watched as the nine realms began to come in closer reach. "It is almost time!" Malekith yelled to his Dark Elves. Thunder bellowed through the grey skies, and lightning screeched alongside it. Thor landed heavily in front of the Dark Elf, "I accept your surrender."
The area shifted, but it was Malekith who had the advantage. Wielding the Aether, he threw the energy at Thor, knocking the God backwards. "You know, with such a grand power, I would have thought you'd hit harder." Malekith yelled, running to Thor, Aether flowing around him. Thor jumped into the air, Mjolnir connecting with the Dark Elf's stomach. Grunting, Malekith whipped the crimson energy into Thor, sending him into a car. Malekith ensued the God, blow after blow the Aether hit Thor. And with every offense, Thor struck Malekith with lightning. Jane watched as the two fought, "There has to be something we can do!" Following Jane, Erik called out to her, "We have to use the devices, the convergence is almost complete!" Getting down the stairs, Thor flew past, crashing into a nearby building. Malekith walked back to the centre, below the alignment of the nine realms and outstretched his hands. The Aether travelled from his fingertips, intertwining above him. "It's too late" Jane breathed.
The Aether spread wider the further it got into the air. Malekith kept his arms out and head high as he watched the Aether turn the area around him dark. The crimson darkness of the Aether whirled, as it spread through Earth and the nine realms. "Thor, we're too late. We can't get close enough." Jane stood next to Thor. Turning to Erik, he took the devices, "But I can." And he ran into the darkness. He could barely see anything around him. The wind pushed against, and Thor pushed back. On the outside, Jane couldn't bear to stand on the sidelines, she looked on as the darkness was spreading. He legs froze and she couldn't move. She couldn't run away. Until it was too late.
Just as she thought the dark would consumer her, Jane rubbed her eyes and the Aether was not touching her, but going around her. She lifted her head. Evalith stood, pressing the Aether away from Jane, turning her head she smiled at the mortal, "You should run now". Unable to comprehend, Jane nodded and followed Erik. Evalith spun and entered the darkness. The world seemed to run in slow motion. With every step the Aether pushed away from the Goddess of Telek and Energy. Her hands splayed, she convulsed the energy into her veins.
Thor felt the Aether's force fade around him, stepping to the side, he saw Evalith using her energy to consume to Aether, "Evalith!" His sister turned to him, smiling, "Thor! Now!" Malekith just opened his eyes, he could feel the Aether leaving the convergence, "What?" Looking down, he saw the Goddess he killed on Svartalfheim and she was manipulating the Aether. "Witch!" he screamed. Thor pushed forward, "It's over Malekith!" and he threw one of the devices, but Malekith caught it.
Jane noticed the sudden flashing and beeping from her machine, realising what it meant, she switched the button on.
Evalith absorbed the Aether, as her brother threw the device at Malekith. And then, his arm vanished.
Thor threw the next device, "Now Jane!" Switching the button again, Malekith lost his other arm. Looking down, the Dark Elf smirked, "You think that this will stop me?!" The Aether still streamed from his body. Thor sped forward with Mjolnir in his hand, and smacked Malekith into his ship, his body denting around it. Evalith lunged forward, digging her nails into the Dark Elf's throat, "No, but this will" And in that instant, Malekith jolted looking down at his torso. Black matter engrossed from his neck pulling in he and part of the ship and all he could do was scream and writhe. Thor directed lightning to the ship, creating a gravitational void that Malekith fell through. The Aether dropped and the realms left out of alignment. Thor collapsed and Jane ran to him. The ship began to fall forward. "Thor! Move! Come on, please move!" He didn't respond. Laying across his chest, Jane squeezed her eyes.
Still in the air, Evalith raced up higher. Clapping her hands together, Evalith created a gravitational gap and used her mind to pull the ship in, taking the Aether with it. Slowly, the ship fell into the void. Landing back onto the ground Evalith stopped the debris mid-air, directing it to the river. She hurried to her brother, who was still bloodied and bruised on the ground. Holding her hand to his forehead, his wounds started to recede. Jane smiled and cried, happily. Thor opened his eyes, feeling absolutely swell. "Evalith! We thought you were gone" He pulled his sister for a hug, "Goodness, brother, you think I am that weak?" Jane pointed to the sky, "The convergence, its over!" Thor stood from the ground, holding Jane, leaning in he kissed her. "And… I'm moving now." Evalith giggled at her brother, and walked over to a stunned Erik. "Hello, I am Evalith. Thor's little sister. I was dead before but you mortals sure get yourselves into crazy predicaments so thank you for all your help." Erik looked the Goddess up and down, before fainting.
Jane, Erik, Darcy and Ian sat quietly around the dining table. Jane took a sip of coffee, Ian crunched on his cereal and Erik was reading the paper. "He'll be back." Darcy smiled at Jane. "Oh yeah, well you know it's only been two days." Erik put down the paper, "Did he say why he and Evalith had to leave?" Jane sipped her coffee, "Well, they kind of committed treason, and Asgard thinks that Evalith is dead, so yeah" Nonchalant. They sat in silence again. Darcy looked up again, "Oh".
