Thor: The Dark Realm

Algrim looked at the battle field. The Horsegardians were more than they have expected. The Einherjar were great warriors . He turned to report to his master, Malekith, but he found out the Horsegardians had already climbed the temple and Malekith was fighting him.

" Soldiers! " Algrim summonned the nearby dark elves.

Only the look of their enemies frightened the warriors with the helmet with flat horns, the distinctive feature of an Einherjar.

Strange masks with no expression, just two perfectly round eyes and a small mouth on the white piece of wood. Even their horn was covered, since unlike Horsegardians, who were usually pegasi, all of the dark elves were unicorns.. Or was it really wood?

Before the brave Horsegardians could react, one of the elves threw a small object at them. They recognized it immeadietly, it had caused the death of many of their allies. But there was nothing they could do. The grenade broke, but did no damage. Instead it sucked the nearby soldiers to their death. It lasted about a second and than a small implosion destroyed what has been left of those, who had been sucked in.

The dark elves levitated their strange looking curved guns in front of them and fired. However, now reinforced with another squad, the brave Horsegardians attacked and dodged the red energy blasts with their shields. Malekith jumped forward and the last thing the front line of the soldiers saw was the shine of his dagger and his vicious,treachorous and crannied face. The master of the dark elves didn't need any other weapons.

" The portals are almost at perfect positions. The Convergence has reached it's maximum." Algrim reported to his master.

Malekith smiled and turned his non- cracked part of the face to Algrim. The dark elf spoke:

" Good. I will take the Aether and you use the Kurse. "

While Malekith went to take the Aether, Algrim tossed some crystals to three of the dark elves. The elves didn't wonder for a second, they stuck the crystals on their own horns. The crystals shone with a dim red light, as the Dark Elves rose in size and strength. Their masks fell off and now, after they were 10 feet tall monsters, they rushed at the Horsegardians, breaking their lines.

Malekith was delighted. He slowly lifted the cover and almost immeadietly the red and black living liquid, the Aether, started slowly spinning and curling around him. But before it could fully adapt, a strong energy beam fired at it and forced it back under the stone cover.

The ruler of the Dark Elved turned around. Only one pony had such power.

" Bor! " he spoke with despise

" Give the Aether away, Malekith. You have failed. " Bor spoke. The pegasus was wearing a black and gold armour with 4 circular plates on the chest. His helmet had two long horns. The spear he was holding was probably the reason for the Kursed Ones to be lying on the ground, defeated.  Algrim had a sword an inch from his neck.

" How? I have the Aether and the Convergence is at optimal position. " Malekith grinned and laughed viciously. A sudden sound of explosion stopped his laugh.

The dark elf looked behind Bor and his soldiers. The Einherjar had pushed his army in the center of the valley. A huge shadow has hung over them and it was growing and growing. The ruler knew the reason: the Horsegardians' winged boats had somehow succeeded to defeat his squadron of ships and now the huge space ships with the form of a " T " were falling down. The last red sparkles from the windows, the place where the two parts of the " T " crossed, went out as one of his own ships smashed the army of the dark elves. The Malekith's face wrinkled in rage.

" You have underestimated us... and you have paid the price. Your home world is ruined. Your folk is mostly dead. You have no choice but to surrender. And by the way, the maximum of the Convergence is now over. "

The words of the Horsegardian ruler made the dark elf even more angrier. He looked at the sky. The portals to the dimensions were going to different sides. The power of the Aether was now useless.

" Never! " Malekith yelled and drew Algrim next to him with magic. Than he jumped off the edge of the temple. A hidden T- formed ship raised. Obviously Malekith had chosen to save himself and Algrim, together with the crew of the ship, and save himself.

Bor quietly stared at the ship as it slowly dissapeared in the sky.

" They have made their choice. " he spoke. Than he looked at the Aether. The mysteriuos liquid relic, that was able to destroy everything and bring eternal darkness back upon the world was now trapped under a stone cover. Bor smiled, but still commanded strictly:

" We'll take this. We'll lock it away somewhere it would never be found. "

Two soldiers carefully lifted the stone and put it in the nearby flying boat.

" The Dark Elves shall never rise again. " Bor spoke and got on the boat together with the soldiers. It flew away and many other boats followed it. A huge rainbow beam fell upon them and than they dissapeared.

" And so the Dark Elves were defeated once and for all. " Odin finished with his story. Both Thor and Loky smiled:

" Father, when did this happen? " the black- maned Loky asked

" Before the destruction of the old Equestria, thousands of years ago. " the Allfather replied

" And what happenned to Malekith and those, who survived? " Thor was interested.

" They were indeed never seen again. I suppose their lives ended when the dimension was destroyed. " his father smiled and brushed his son's mane. He always liked to tell his stories in the Relic Vault. It kind of made them more real. Thor and Loky rushed after him.

" And what happened to the Aether? " Loky got up with his father.

" It has been locked away, but my father didn't tell anypony where it was stored. Not even me. "  Odin answered.

" And how do we know this isn't just an old mare's tale? " Thor doubted the story's truthfullness.

" Here. " the Allfather stopped in front of one of the relics. When the two colts stood next to him, they saw, that it was a book with moving images. They showed strange ponies with masks, that matched the description of the Dark Elves' masks perfectly. One of them was holding a strange figure with no form, that was coloured in black and red and was moving inside a oreol of light. Runes described all of this, though Thor and Loky still couldn't read.

" The Book of Yggdrasil contains no old mares' tales. " the ruler of Horsegard showed the book to his colts " It's the story of this whole dimension, all of the 9 realms. "

After that Odin walked out of the room, with Thor and Loky following him. The huge golden gate closed behind them.
