People began to run and scream as Malekith's ship became visible. It moved toward the shoreline, showing no signs of stopping or slowing down. There was a massive thud as it crashed into the paved walkway that boardered the shore, and I met Darcy's eyes from across the courtyard.
"Loki—"
"Got it," he said, wrapping an arm around my waist and hauling me off before I could even tell him to run.
He made for the building to our left, pulling me so fast that my feet hardly skimmed the ground. He only stopped once we'd reached the wall. Behind us, Malekith's ship slowed to a stop in the direct centre of the courtyard.
"You know, I am capable of running myself," I shot to Loki, who leaned against the wall.
"Please, you hardly come up to my chest," he responded, "You never would have outrun that."
"I hate you."
I kept my eyes trained on the ship as Malekith got off, trailed by a large group of Dark Elves. He looked to the sky, and I followed his eyes. There, torn through the clouds overhead, was a portal. A portal between worlds.
There was a crack of thunder, as Thor shot up from the ground, coming to land directly in front of Malekith.
"My brother, always the drama queen," Loki rolled his eyes, as the two of us jogged over to back him.
"He does have a thing for grand entrances," I remarked.
"You needn't have come so far, Asgardians," Malekith said. "Death would have come to you, soon enough."
"Not by your hand," Thor shot back.
"Your universe was never meant to be," Malekith said, raising his hands. The Aether began to materialize around him. "Your world, and your families, will be extinguished!"
With that, the Aether jumped out at us. We each tried to defend against it, but it knocked us off our feet, launching us back several paces. I felt the air leave my lungs and I gasped, pushing myself back to my feet. Beside me, Thor and Loki did the same.
No sooner had we done that, did the Aether come at us again, this time shooting us back a few meters. The Aether was intertwined with lightning and fire—me and Thor's meager attempt to defend ourselves.
I covered my head as I hit the ground once again.
Thor was on his feet before I could even recover, and Malekith launched the Aether at him again. This time, Thor managed to keep upright, merely skidding back through the dirt.
"You know with all that power," Thor said, wiping at his bleeding lip, "I thought you'd hit harder."
"Great idea, Thor." I shoved to my feet. "Poke the bear."
"I don't plan merely on poking him," Thor said, as Malekith raised his hands for another attack at us.
Before he could launch the Aether, Thor threw his hammer, and it struck Malekith square in the chest, throwing him back into the building to our right. He smashed through a column and flew into the parkinglot.
