Valkyrie: We need to hold her off until everybody's on board. 

Thor looks at the people boarding behind him.

Thor: It won't end there. The longer Hela's on Asgard the more powerful she grows. She'll hunt us down. We need to stop her here and now.

Valkyrie: What's our move?

Loki: I'm not doing "Get help."

Thor sees Hela approaching. He sees the palace behind her. He comes to a realization.

Thor: Asgard's not a place, it's a people. This was never about stopping Ragnarok... it was about causing Ragnarok. Go to the vault. Surtur's crown. It's the only way. y/n go with him, I don't want him running off.

Loki: Bold move, brother. Even for me.

Loki runs off with y/n, leaving Thor and Val to deal with Hela.

Thor: Shall we?

Valkyrie: After you.

Thor attacks. They clash, kicking off this monumental confrontation. Hela manifests pitch black weapons to attack Thor, but Thor is conjuring powerful bolts of electricity with the same speed and ferocity. Just as Thor is surging with newfound lightning powers, Hela's powers seem to be enhanced as well. The battle is relentless and fast-paced. Thor is holding his own against Hela. Maybe they can win this thing. After several fearsome exchanges, Hela punctures his shoulder and then darts past him with startling speed. Undeterred, Thor rushes Hela again. Valkyrie joins in, forcing Hela to fight them both. While the Asgardians still scramble to get on board above- -find the Commodore ship, swooping down below the bridge. Find Loki in the pilot's seat.

Loki: This is madness. 

y/n: This. Is. Asgard!

The ship accelerates towards the palace of Asgard.

Thor continues fighting Hela while Valkyrie blocks Hela's attempts to spear the Asgardians from afar. Hela isn't landing any fatal blows, but she's carving Thor up and making steady progress towards the Ark. However, the Asgardian refugees finally make it aboard. An injured Heimdall, Korg, and Miek are the last to get on. Thor and Heimdall make eye contact. Thor calls out: 

Thor: GO! GO NOW!

As the Ark's engines begin to power up, Hela harpoons Thor. He goes down, grimacing in pain. Hela begins to conjure an enormous manifestation of her powers, a giant spike from the bedrock of Asgard, impaling the ship so it could not leave! Butchers begin to scramble up onto the Ark! The refugees react in terror as the Butchers begin climbing from the bridge to the Ark. In the frightened crowd we find Skurge, still cloaked. He sees innocent Asgardians huddled together, trying to protect their families. He's having a crisis of conscience. An epiphany. Loki rushes in and picks up Surtur's skull. As he walks towards the Eternal Flame, The Tesseract draws his attention. Tempting him. He looks to y/n, they both smirk at each other.

Loki: We probably shouldn't.

y/n: Yeah... probably not.

They grin. The first wave of Butchers arrives on board, heading straight for a cowering family. Just as they're about to be killed the Butchers fall dead. Everyone turns to see Skurge, now uncloaked, wielding his two M-16s from Texas.

Skurge: For Asgard.

Skurge runs forward, leaps off the Ark, and lands on the bridge right where all the Butchers are coming to life. Blasting away the Butchers before they can get aboard. Behind Skurge, the Ark begins to lift off. Skurge keeps firing.
