"He will betray us," Harry said.
"Let's pray his rage against Malekith causes him to remain loyal," Morgan said.
Jane sat up and looked across the horizon, where a large ship was slowly descending. Like the planet around it, it was pure black, with a red glow near the top.
"It's time to go to work. Thor, Loki." Harry said as he stood up. "I'll take Morgan and Sif to flank the enemy and cut off their retreat to the ship. Meanwhile, you two stick to the plan and draw out Malekith. Once he extracts the Aether, we kill him and contain the Aether. If we fail, we resort to our backup plan." Harry said. Harry turned to Sif as she calmed herself and got ready. "This is going to feel strange for the first time. Whatever you do, close your eyes and don't barf." Harry said as he grabbed hold of Sif.
Sif looked somewhat distracted but held onto Harry carefully. Harry then disapparated as he took Sif away. Harry was so used to it it didn't bother him as it first had. Sif, however, had never apparated before or even been side-along apparated. So, for her, she felt herself being squeezed through what could only be described as a tight tube. She tried to close her eyes, realizing she should have taken the advice seriously, but she found she had a hard time doing so. She could only see the world in a very strange silver-gray complex of colors that passed around her at amazing speed.
Then she landed on her feet and gasped for fresh air as if she was gasping for air after being submerged for a long period of time. True to Harry's warning, she did feel the urge to throw up. She tried to control herself and slow her breathing while trying to prevent herself from throwing up. Morgan landed next to them without making a sound. The ship landed just feet from them as Harry threw disillusionment charms over Sif and himself as Morgan threw one over herself to hide from view. The charm worked perfectly, making it almost impossible to see them. It was only through careful body movements and the person looking directly at them would they be able to take note of the strange movements in the background.
The ship apparently had something like an elevator, as a black box was moving down from the top of the tower to the base. It opened up to reveal a tall creature along with two dozen masked Dark Elves which walked forward with Malekith in triumph.
"We wait until Malekith has extracted the Aether from Jane," Harry said in a low voice. He wasn't sure how well Dark Elves' hearing was, but given his own experience of House Elves, he was sure their hearing was sharp.
They watched as Loki seemed to have betrayed Thor by stabbing him in the gut. Thor fell off the edge and he rolled down to the ground near Malekith as Loki followed. Thor attempted to summon Mjølnir to him, but Loki intercepted Thor and cut off his hand, causing Mjølnir to fly past as Thor writhed in pain and Jane attempted to come to his aid. Loki grabbed Jane and spoke to Malekith. When he was done, he threw Jane at Malekith's feet. Malekith turned to the big creature who was speaking to him before walking forward and gesturing his hand forward. Jane was lifted off the ground as her arms were extended outward. Slowly the Aether came out. Jane fell to the ground as Thor shouted "NOW!"
Loki gestured his hand, dispelling the illusion on Thor. Thor appeared as himself as he summoned Mjølnir to him. Sif appeared, breaking the disillusionment charm and cutting through the Dark Elves with swift and accurate strikes. Several Dark Elves fell quickly before they had even realized she was upon them. Harry and Morgan both broke their disillusionment charms and moved into position. Morgan disapparated before reappearing next to Jane. She grabbed Jane and disapparated from view. Harry summoned five magical swords; their yellow glow moved around him as he directed them to cut through the Dark Elves. They quickly fell as the swords went through their armor with ease.
Thor attacked Malekith with Mjølnir's lightning, causing the big creature to bellow out in fury as he charged forward and attacked Thor with blind fury. He hit Thor, causing him to fly backward and ending his attack on Malekith. Malekith absorbed the Aether inside of him and walked back towards his ship. Harry moved to attack Malekith to prevent him from escaping. However, more Dark Elves began to appear, firing their blasters of red energy at Harry, forcing him to conjure up a shield to prevent the bolts from impacting his body.
This distraction and interference allowed Malekith to walk up to his ship undisturbed. Harry, seeing Malekith was going to escape with the Aether, disapparated from his spot, allowing his shield to drop and the bolts of energy to fly past. The Dark Elves looked momentarily confused. Harry reappeared before Malekith, only for him to backhand Harry in the face with lightning reflexes, sending Harry flying across the landscape before landing on the ground a good hundred yards away from the ship.
Harry climbed to his feet to see the ship doors close and the ship rises to the sky. It slowly started to disappear from view. Harry gathered a Force in his hand and fired a big one after the ship, hoping to damage it enough to stop it from leaving the planet. It disappeared from sight just as his force sailed through the sky and soared right through where it should have been. Harry narrowed his eyes as he looked at the oncoming Dark Elves, ready to fight him.
