Thor: The Dark World


 * Odin: [voice over] Long before the birth of light there was darkness, and from that darkness came the Dark Elves. Millennia ago the most ruthless of their kind, Malekith, sought to transform our universe back into one of eternal night. Such evil was blossomed through the power of the Aether, an ancient force of infinite destruction. [Malekith approaches his lieutenant, Algrim, who tells him Asgard have sent their army]
 * Algrim: [subtitled] Malekith, the Asgardians attack.
 * Odin: [voice over] The noble of armies of Asgard, led by my father, King Bor, waged a mighty war against these wretches. [as Bor and his army are fighting the Dark Elves, Malekith takes a bit of the Aether to give him power] As the nine worlds converged above him Malekith could at last unleash the Aether. [before Malekith can unleash the Aether, three Asgardian soldiers break through and stop him] But Asgard had ripped the weapon from his grasp. Without it the Dark Elves fell. [suddenly as the Dark Elves are fighting with the Asgardian soldiers, one by one they fall to their deaths] With the battle all but lost Malekith sacrificed his own people in desperate attempt to lay waste to Asgard's army. [to Algrim]
 * Malekith: [subtitled] Through their sacrifice we will survive. It will not be in vain. [a spaceship comes down in which Malekith and Algrim then escape]
 * Odin: [voice over] Malekith was ambushed and the Aether was no more. Also we were led to believe... [after winning the battle with the Dark Elves, Bor stands watching over the bodies when one of his soldiers approaches him]
 * Asgardian Einherjar: Sire, the Aether, shall we destroy it?
 * Bor: If only we could, but its power is too great. Bury it deep. Somewhere no one will ever find it. [the Aether is buried within a giant stone column and sent somewhere where it can't be found] [in present day Asgard, Loki, in shackles, is brought to Odin and Frigga]
