[Success: Defeat Malekith] [Failure: Malekith kills you]

[Rewards *******] 

William put away his system message as he stepped out of the Bifrost.

he arrived just as Malekith finished extracting the Aether from Jane which poured from her facial orifices like living blood before swirling around the open hand of the Dark elf king who was merely standing there, his eyes transfixed on the swirling mass with a loving gaze as if it was a piece of him or a long-lost friend now returned, "You should really pay attention when in a battle!" a voice rang out as Malekith turned his head only to be met with symbiote covered feet to the face sending the ancient elf sprawling, "BOOOOOOM!" Malekith landed on the rubble filled earth with such force that he created a small crater of his own.

As Malekith crashes William begins spinning his staff with speeds that defy logic as green arcs of violent lightning surged through the clouds.

Malekith was trying to get up when the sound of rolling thunder caught his attention and he began putting up defenses using his dark magic in conjunction with the Aether as a dark and red dome surrounded the Elf as he stared hatefully into the darkened sky, 

"Jade Lightning Barrage" William stated as he stopped spinning the staff and pointed it at Malekith and as if on cue a series of brilliant blue and green lightning bolts all cascaded toward the elf at the speed of sound.

A roar escaped Malekith's lips "RAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The clash was cataclysmic. The Aether's malevolent energy spiraled into the lightning, creating a storm of raw power that tore the ground apart. Trees disintegrated, rocks melted, and the sky itself seemed to tremble under the strain. But neither warrior gave an inch. William's lightning coursed through the Aether's barrier, sparks dancing chaotically across its surface, but the power was absorbed just enough to prevent a direct hit.

Malekith smirked, sensing the shift in momentum. "Is this all the power your kind boasts?"

William gritted his teeth. "Not even close." He vanished in a blur of green light, reappearing behind Malekith with a powerful kick aimed at his back. The Dark Elf twisted just in time, summoning a barrier of Aether to absorb the blow. The force shattered the barrier but left Malekith unscathed, his dark magic dispersing the kinetic energy harmlessly.

The initial clash left both combatants unscathed but tense. Their movements blurred with speed as they darted across the battlefield, exchanging blows that sent shockwaves rippling through the ground. William darted forward with blinding speed, launching a flurry of punches and kicks. Malekith deflected them with precise movements, his dark energy forming a protective shroud around him. The Dark Elf countered with a jagged spear of Aether, thrusting it toward William with deadly intent.

William spun mid-air, narrowly avoiding the weapon. "Not bad, but you're going to need more than tricks!" he taunted, his green aura flaring as he fired a rapid series of ki blasts. Each shot detonated on impact, leaving smoldering craters where Malekith stood, but the Dark Elf's form flickered like a shadow, evading the blasts with an almost supernatural fluidity.

"Arrogance will be your downfall," Malekith hissed, releasing a burst of dark magic that sent William flying back. The blast carved a deep trench in the earth as the Saiyan crashed into the rubble. He landed hard but immediately sprang to his feet, brushing debris from his shoulders. "You talk a lot for someone who can't land a hit," he retorted.

The two clashed again, their power shaking the ground beneath them. William unleashed a barrage of strikes, his fists glowing with ki. Malekith retaliated with whips of Aether, each strike cracking like thunder as it collided with William's defenses. The air grew heavy with the smell of ozone and the dark scent of burning energy, both combatants testing their limits but refusing to yield.

William powered up, his energy intensifying. The battlefield shifted as his ki began to warp the environment itself. Rocks levitated, the grass scorched under his aura, and the very air seemed to hum with tension. "Enough games!" he bellowed, slamming his fists together. A shockwave rippled outward, temporarily dispersing the Aether.

Malekith growled, raising his hand. The Aether began to condense, forming massive tendrils that lashed out at William. The Saiyan dodged and countered, slicing through the dark energy with sharp ki waves. For every tendril he destroyed, two more seemed to take its place, and Malekith's mastery over the chaos seemed endless.

"You cannot hope to match the power of the Aether," Malekith said, his voice echoing ominously. He raised his hands, and the tendrils transformed into a writhing vortex, pulling William toward its center.

"We'll see about that." William charged headfirst, his fists glowing with green energy. He unleashed a volley of ki spheres, detonating the vortex and sending ripples of force back toward Malekith. Seizing the opening, William closed the distance and delivered a devastating uppercut that shattered Malekith's dark barrier. The impact sent the Dark Elf hurtling through the air, but he landed gracefully, his crimson eyes blazing with fury.

Malekith landed with a grunt, his armor cracked but his resolve unbroken. The Aether surged once more, enveloping him in a crimson glow that healed his wounds and amplified his strength. "You will fall!" he declared, releasing a wave of energy that darkened the sky.

William shielded himself, bracing against the overwhelming force. "Is that all you've got?" he shouted, launching himself into the storm. Their battle turned into a blur of motion, strikes and counters so fast they appeared as flashes of light and dark energy colliding.

Malekith summoned a massive construct of the Aether—a shadowy colossus that loomed over William. With a roar, the Saiyan tore through it, his brilliant green energy obliterating the dark creation in a single strike. The blow left Malekith exposed, but he retaliated with a massive energy wave that sent William skidding back, his boots carving trenches in the dirt.

With a crazy smile on his face William stomped his foot to stop himself as his aura flared violently, his power was increasing as the fight went on and his current power level was nearing 2000, a golden hue began to appear within his green aura and as the gold continued to advance the green began to take on the properties of lightning and form runes that floated around him and his eyes began to glow with the same crackling green energy.

[System message - User is transforming]

"yeah no shit!" William couldn't help but think as his aura seemed to explode, "BOOOOOM!" the blast sent Malekith crashing into a nearby field where he slams into the earth in anger and begins channeling the Aether to empower himself as a red aura began to emanate from his body.

Williams was finally becoming visible as the aura receded, His eyes took on a striking electric green and seemed to be able to see great distances as he gazed sternly at Malekith, His muscles once covered by his armor gained more definition and mass while at the same time being streamlined enough so that he doesn't slow himself down, his hair which normally flowed black with green undertones due to the energy had turned a solid golden and seemingly permanently standing up on end and his power level spiked significantly as the transformation completed.

Malekith was staring hatefully at William who appeared to just be standing there but the image he was looking at began to slowly fade away which confused Malekith greatly.

"WHERE ARE YOU!" he roared into the sky as he searched for his foe but as he spun around, he was met with a solid backhand to the face, "CRUNCH!" the sound of bones breaking was heard as Malekith felt blood fall from his nose uncontrollably and suddenly a foot struck him in his stomach sending him falling to the earth once again.

"ILL KILL YOU FOUL MORTAL, I'll KILL YOU ALL!" he began to merge with the Aether as he felt like if he couldn't live, he could at least win. 

As his hand made contact, the Aether surged violently, the very air around him distorting as if reality itself was bending under the weight of the stone's influence. A pulse of dark energy erupted from the Aether, and Malekith cried out as the energy tore through his body, merging with his essence. The pain was like nothing he had ever experienced before,an agonizing fire that consumed him from the inside out. His very flesh seemed to rebel, twisting and shifting in ways that made him feel as though he were being torn apart, remade, unmade.

His body writhed under the Aether's influence, his skin turning dark and cracked, veins of glowing purple and red surging beneath the surface like rivers of molten lava. His features distorted as the energy flowed through him, warping his form, turning him into something more, something less, something that was no longer bound by the limitations of mortal flesh.

But just as the transformation was beginning to reach its peak, a surge of power tore through the air, a force so immense it felt like the heavens themselves were splitting open. The ground trembled beneath Malekith's feet, and for a moment, he thought the universe itself was collapsing under the weight of the Reality Stone's power.

Then, the lightning struck.

A bolt of crackling, divine lightning struck the earth, slamming into Malekith's chest with a force that sent him stumbling back, his body convulsing with the raw impact of the blow. The Aether's energy recoiled, sparking and flickering as if it, too, were shocked by the interruption. Malekith gasped, his senses overwhelmed by the sudden onslaught of power. His hands clenched in agony as he fought to hold onto the energy surging within him, but it was slipping, like water through his fingers.

Another blast of lightning tore through the sky, this one brighter and more focused, as if guided by the hand of a god. The bolt crashed into the earth, splitting the very ground beneath Malekith's feet and sending him tumbling backward, his body flailing as the energy of the Aether surged wildly, threatening to break free.

"WHAT..?" he finally noticed the rage fueled eyes of Thor Odinson standing over the corpse of Jane Foster's corpse, he was shaking and his muscles bulged as he gripped his trusty hammer which answered his call with the peal of thunder, he raised the mighty weapon into the sky as he was preparing to perform a blast of lightning infused with his divinity and life force, "RAAAAHHHH!" the godblast was channeled through the hammer and began to launch toward Malekith who had put up multiple barriers of Aether in that direction and seemed to be holding strong although with great effort.

Malekith was beginning to think he might make it out of this if he could survive this attack but failed to notice the man behind him charging an attack of his own from a distance.

The golden aura over William flared with bolts of green lightning and runic patterns as he charged his ki for a final attack as his transformation was taking a toll, the mass of energy in his hands caused veins to become visible throughout his body and he looked like he was putting his everything into this final attack.

pieces of rubble began to float around William as if he began to gain his own gravity as his attack began to reach a critical point, and he pointed his hands squarely in the direction of the evil Malekith, "FINAL LIGHTNING!" A massive beam of energy with lightning flaring throughout blasted toward Malekith who in his panic split the barriers between both sides which had started to break down under the assault of both sides.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Malekith roared hatefully as his barriers finally shattered and both attacks collided at the same time.

Malekith's body, already twisted and unstable, was consumed in an explosion of light and energy. The Aether fought against the onslaught, desperately trying to keep its host intact, but the combined power of the two attacks was overwhelming. The lightning surged through Malekith's form, tearing at his body, destabilizing the very energy that had fused with him.

His body convulsed as the energy ripped through him, the Reality Stone inside him flickering like a dying star, unable to maintain its grip on his form. His flesh burned, his armor crackling with static and energy, and for the first time, Malekith felt fear. The energies of the Godblast and Final Lightning were unlike anything he had ever encountered. They weren't just physical forces, they were primal, unyielding, unstoppable.

In a final, desperate attempt, Malekith reached out, his hands trembling as he tried to warp reality to save himself, to bend the energy back upon them, to rewrite his fate. But the energy was too much, and as the combined blast overwhelmed him, Malekith's form began to dissipate, flickering like a broken hologram. His scream, laced with agony and rage, echoed through the battlefield as the forces of both divine lightning and Saiyan ki tore him apart.

The Aether, once a force that granted him unimaginable power, now became his undoing. Reality itself rejected him, the combined lightning blasts ripping through his very existence. The energy from both William and Thor didn't just destroy his body, they unraveled him, tearing apart the essence of who he was. The Aether, without its host, floated freely between Thor and William and for a second William thought that Thor would rush to catch the Aether but surprisingly he knelt down where the desiccated corpse of Jane Foster was laying and began to sob as it had begun to rain.

William feeling terrible for not making it in time was nearing the Aether as he felt like it shouldn't be left out in the open, as the Aether pulsed in the air, its chaotic energy warping the very laws of reality around it, Phage's instincts flared. The symbiote could sense its immense power, the dark potential for destruction that lay at its core. Unlike any other energy it had encountered, the Aether did not simply burn—it twisted and remade everything in its vicinity. The very fabric of existence seemed to buckle under its weight.

The moment Phage's dark, twisted tendrils reached out toward the Aether, the symbiote could sense the immense cosmic power pulsing within it. The Aether wasn't just a mere artifact; it was an embodiment of reality itself, able to shape and warp existence on a scale that would make even the most powerful of beings falter. Phage, however, was not one to back down from a challenge.

Phage hesitated, the symbiote instinctively recoiling as its dark energy brushed against the raw, chaotic power of the Aether. The Reality Stone crackled with a dangerous energy, its cosmic force seeking to warp and manipulate the very essence of Phage. The symbiote felt its essence begin to stretch, pulled by the chaotic power of the stone, like a thread trying to be unraveled by an unstoppable force.

Yet Phage was nothing if not adaptive. With a surge of mental focus, it began to pull William's green ki energy, drawing it inward like a protective buffer. The symbiote's form flickered as its tendrils wrapped around the Saiyan's energy, fusing the two into a conduit, a shield that would allow Phage to interact with the Aether without succumbing to its overwhelming pull.

The green ki energy, both raw and primal, surged through Phage, coating its form in a radiant aura of light. The symbiote's tendrils stretched and shimmered with the green glow of William's energy, creating an organic, pulsing barrier that acted as both a buffer and a conduit. The Aether, with its reality-bending might, pushed against the ki shield, its energy flooding into Phage's form, attempting to warp and distort the symbiote. But the ki energy was like a stabilizing force, a grounding tether that kept Phage from being fully consumed by the Aether's power.

Phage's dark, predatory instincts would feel a powerful conflict. The Aether was a primal force, but it was too unpredictable, too dangerous to consume directly. Instead, Phage did what it did best, it adapted.

As the swirling, unpredictable energy of the Aether lashed against Phage's defensive barrier, the symbiote began to weave its tendrils more carefully, intricately, around the stone. The green ki energy surged through it, acting as a stabilizing force, allowing Phage to direct and mold the Aether's raw energy. The symbiote's form twisted, dark tendrils snaking out and locking onto the chaotic mass of energy, drawing it in.

With an almost unnatural grace, the symbiote's tendrils coiled around the Aether, drawing it inward, concentrating its raw power. The Aether, for all its might, could not escape the pull of Phage's will. The stone's energy, once free and wild, began to bend, to shift, as Phage carefully molded it like clay, a dark force shaping reality itself. Phage's form flickered in the process, the tendrils wrapping the stone tighter and tighter, now with a distinct, controlled purpose.

The moment came when Phage finally completed its task. The green ki flared brighter, the energy acting as a buffer that allowed the symbiote to infuse the Aether directly into itself. The Reality Stone now contained, began to warp and fuse with the symbiote. Slowly but surely, the dark tendrils of Phage embedded the Aether into the center of its chest. It was no longer a separate entity, it was part of the symbiote, bound to it. A gem, glowing a deep crimson red, materialized at the center of Phage's chest, a dark, pulsing mark of power.

The red gem, the physical manifestation of the Aether, was now embedded in the symbiote's suit. Its light flickered erratically at first, as if testing its new form, but it soon steadied, pulsing with the same primal energy that had once been contained within the Reality Stone. The fusion of the Aether into the suit was unlike anything Phage had ever experienced. The gem itself seemed alive, an extension of the chaotic energy now permanently bound to Phage's form. The power of the Aether, once untouchable, was now part of Phage's very being, interwoven into the suit's structure like a core of limitless energy.

For a moment, everything was still. The symbiote's form, once jagged and violent, settled into a new, intimidating shape. Its tendrils, now thrumming with the Aether's power, swirled and shimmered around it, coiling like dark serpents. The green ki, still present in the symbiote's form, merged with the red light of the gem, creating a subtle but undeniable aura that pulsed with energy. The fusion was complete, but the consequences of it were only just beginning.

Phage retracted back after it full assimilated the Reality stone into the suit leaving William standing there with a dumbfounded look on his face... 

"Well Shit, things just got more complicated!"
