chapter twenty-five.

Thor and Volstagg did a forearm shake. "Thank you, my friend." Thor turned and walked towards Malekith's crashed ship. Jane smiled and nodded at Volstagg.

Evelyn was about to walk past when Volstagg stopped her. "Lady Evelyn?"

Evelyn turned around and smiled. "Volstagg, it's nice to see you again." Volstagg suddenly pulled Evelyn into a bone-crushing hug. "Yep, I missed you, too," she wheezed out.

"Volstagg, I advise you don't kill my daughter in front of me," Loki told him. Volstagg let Evelyn go and patted her head.

"I wouldn't hurt her," he smiled, and Evelyn hurried towards the ship. As Loki was about to follow, Volstagg stopped him. "If you even think about betraying them—"

"You'll kill me?" Loki asked. "Evidently, there will be a line." Volstagg let Loki go, and he followed after Evelyn.

Thor, Loki, Jane and Evelyn all boarded Malekith's ship. Thor walked up to what seemed to be the control panels and started tapping buttons, with nothing happening.

"I thought you said you knew how to fly this thing," Evelyn said.

"I said how hard could it be," Thor told her and continued to press buttons.

"Well, whatever you are doing, brother, I suggest you do it faster," Loki told him.

"Shut up, Loki," Thor snapped.

"You probably missed a button," Evelyn told him, looking around at the hundred buttons on the panel.

"I am pressing every button on this thing," Thor said, continuing to do so.

"No, don't hit it. Just press it gently," Loki told him.

"I am pressing it gently. It's not working!" Thor smashed the buttons, and the ship came to life. "Ha-ha!"

Thor controlled the ship to go upwards and turn itself around, hitting a few columns on the way. "I think you missed a column," Loki instantly told him.

"Shut up!" He made the ship fly forward and out of the castle.

"Look, why don't you make me fly it? I'm clearly the best pilot," Loki told Thor as Thor manoeuvred the ship around structures and buildings.

"Is that right? Well, out of the two of us, which one can actually fly?" Thor asked.

"Oh lord, we're doomed," Evelyn mumbled as the ship rocked.

To the side, Jane collapsed onto the ground. "Oh, dear. Is she dead?" Loki asked without an ounce of sympathy.

"Jane?" Thor asked.

Jane lifted her hand to wave him off. "I'm okay."

Thor continued to fly the ship, hitting a building in the process. Evelyn was about to say something to Thor when he cut her off. "Not a word."

The Asgardian ships started to come up behind them, following their tail. "Now they're following us," Loki told Thor. Then, they began to fire in hopes of crashing the ship. "Now they're firing at us!" Evelyn fell forward as the ship was shot out. Loki grabbed onto her arm and pulled her back up to a stand before she landed on the floor.

"Thank you for the commentary, Loki. It's not at all distracting," Thor sarcastically said.

Thor dodged the fires from the Asgardian's. To avoid the shots, he tilted to ship to the side so that it could squeeze through a gap, cutting off a stone structures head.

"Well done, you've just decapitated your grandfather," Loki said.

"Why did we choose this big ass ship to flee on anyway?" Evelyn asked although Loki had the same idea.

"You know, this is wonderful. This is a tremendous idea," Loki sarcastically told Thor. "Let's steal the biggest, most obvious ship in the universe and escape on that. Flying around the city, smashing into everything in sight so that everyone can see us. It's brilliant, Thor! It's truly brilliant!" Thor leant over and pushed Loki out of the ship, screaming as he fell towards the planet.

Evelyn walked over to the opening of the ship and looked down at where Loki landed. She stepped out of the ship and landed firmly on the next one.

"Hey, Fandral," she greeted the driver.

"Hello again, Lady Evelyn." He took her hand and kissed it. "It's lovely to see you again. You are looking marvellous."

"Fandral, I advise you don't flirt with my daughter in front of me. I will not hesitate to cut your head off," Loki threatened just as Thor landed with Jane.

"I see your time in the dungeons has made you no less graceful, Loki," Fandral laughed. Evelyn looked in the distance and watched as the ship that was containing them was still being followed and shot at by the Asgardians.

Loki looked at Thor, amusement on his face. "You lied to me. I'm impressed."

"I'm glad you're pleased. Now, do what you promised. Take us to your secret pathway," Thor said.

Loki grinned as he took control. He steered the ship towards the right, approaching the mountains. Evelyn looked behind them and saw that the Asgardians had realised they weren't on the other ship and were now following them. Loki steered the ship away from their fires.

"Fandral," Thor said.

"Right." Fandral grabbed a rope from the ground and stepped towards the edge of the ship. "For Asgard." He jumped off of the ship and swung to the other one. He began fighting them, and then, when he was done, he saluted the group.

Loki continued to steer over a river when he turned the ship to the right and began to steer them towards a mountain.

"Loki," Thor warned.

"If it were easy, everyone would do it," Loki told him.

Evelyn stepped back a bit from the incoming mountain. "Are you mad?" Thor asked.

"Most likely," Evelyn replied simultaneously as Loki said. "Possibly."

Thor held onto Jane as they neared the mountain. Evelyn stepped beside Loki and prepared to jump off. Loki steered them between a thin gap, making the ship go through it. The same rainbow formed around them when Heimdall brought them to Asgard, and soon they popped up in Svartalfheim.

Loki grinned. "Ta-da."
