Banner: Shouldn't we be shooting back or something?

Thor: Yes, we should. Where are the guns on this ship? 

Valkyrie: There aren't any. It's a leisure vessel.

Thor and Banner: WHAT?!

Valkyrie: Grandmaster uses it for his good times, orgies and stuff. 

Thor and Banner look around.

The ceiling has mirrors on it and the floor is covered in a Sakaarian Persian rug.

Banner: Did she just say the Grandmaster uses it for orgies?

Thor: Yeah. Don't touch anything. 

More fire from behind. Val's ship is hit. She rotates the cockpit to face backwards and opens fire, taking out the attacking chase-ship. But now in Val's cockpit... Sparks. Smoke. Alarms. In the distance Val clocks the Grandmaster's Riot Ship raining terror down on the masses. She passes y/n look of determination as she pops the hatch above, her ship is now a convertible. Meanwhile, Warsong zooms out from under Thor's ship, still accelerating. Val has turned her ship into a missile, and its trajectory is the Grandmaster's Riot Control Ship! Grandmaster is still taunting his former captives below when- KA-BOOM! Warsong slams into the Statesman, specifically the Grandmaster's projection! Enlarged Grandmaster stumbles, struggling to maintain his balance. Warsong explodes while the Statesman is knocked off kilter and goes down for a hard landing in the market! Thor and Banner witness the fiery explosion of Val's kamikaze flight path! 

Thor: No!

Thor experiences a brief instant of heartbreak/devastation... but then notices two specs coming out of the explosion. THWACK! Val and y/n hit the ship's windshield and grab hold! Residual smoke waft off of them. Thor pilots the ship out of the city into the Wastelands as six Sakaarian fighter ships race after them in formation. The following dogfight will proceed across the Wastelands and then out over the Sakaarian Ocean. y/n and Val are still on the windshield. One of the pursuing ships wings the Commodore, causing it to lurch.

Thor: Get inside!

Valkyrie: In a minute!

Val pulls herself up and then runs down the roof of the ship. Thor and Banner follow the thumping of her footsteps. y/n climbs into the ship.

y/n: Phew.

In full sprint, Val leaps off and lands hard on the lead Sakaarian ship! Val begins tearing into the enemy ship with her bare hands! Thor and Banner exchange a look. 

Thor: I should probably go and help. 

Thor abruptly exits, leaving Banner and y/n at the ship's controls.

Thor: Here, take the wheel.

Banner: No. I don't know how to fly one of these.

Thor: You're a scientist. Use one of your PhDs. 

Banner: NONE OF THEM ARE FOR FLYING ALIEN SPACESHIPS!

y/n: MOVE!

y/n throws Banner off the pilot's seat.

y/n: I lived in one of these while I was missing.

Thor leaps into the middle of this high-speed dogfight! These two superhuman Asgardians begin jumping between their pursuer's ships, taking out guns, engines, and pilots with their bare hands. It's spectacular and epic. Thor rips out an engine block and uses it to crush a pilot. Val drags her blades down the entire underbelly of a ship before backflipping to another. Back and forth they go, even passing each other mid-flight a few times. One by one the Sakaarian ships go down. y/n is frantically steering the ship, doing his best to dodge all the incoming fire. He peels away and is followed by Topaz, who is in her own chase-ship. Banner notices a button with a little explosion icon.

Banner: Okay, come on. There's gotta be a gun on this thing. 

y/n: That looks like a gun. Press it.     

Banner presses the button. 

The ship's lighting changes, like a disco effect. Weird dance music blasts over the PA, followed by Grandmaster's voice.

Grandmaster: It's MY BIRTHDAY! It's MY BIRTHDAY! It's MY BIRTHDAY.

Banner is so confused. Then we hear fireworks. Massive plumes of powder paint shoot out of the ship followed by a huge colourful fireworks display. And then a rainforest's worth of confetti is dumped from the hull! Topaz is suddenly in the middle of a party smoke screen! She tries to fly her way through all the fireworks and streamers, but ultimately she hits a hard crash landing in the ocean.

Banner: Yeah!

Meanwhile, Thor and Val land together on the one remaining Sakaarian ship. Val leaks a smile to Thor. Thor yanks off the cockpit cover, Val tosses the pilot, and together they push forward on the throttle. The ship speeds forward. Just then Banner pulls the Commodore back on the scene, hovering above them. They leap up towards the Commodore's open doors as the ship crashes and explodes behind them! Thor and Valkyrie join y/n and Banner in the cockpit. 

Valkyrie: Guys, we're coming up on the Devil's Anus!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Korg and Miek enter the garage, leading a group of gladiator rebels. Korg sees and then points to the supercruiser.

Korg: There she is. Our ticket out of here. Hey, what's this? 

The obedience disc FOB on the ground. He picks it up. Korg then notices Loki, twitching and convulsing on the ground. He's barely made any progress towards the fob. Loki locks eyes with Korg, a desperate and furious plea. Korg looks at Loki, then at the fob, then back to Loki. Loki gives Korg a maniacal, pleading look. Korg gets it. He deactivates the obedience disk. Loki stands, dusts himself off. 

Loki: Thank you.

Korg: Hey man, we're about to jump on that ginormous spaceship. You wanna come?

Loki: Well, you do seem like you're in desperate need of leadership.

Korg: Why thank you.
