"Y-Ysgramor!?"
"Aye, now pick your jaw up, we have a fight to win." the large Nord grouses.
Surtr nods but takes a glance at the others who'd gathered. The first that catches his eye is three ancient heroes that'd previously fought Alduin and ended up sending him into the future. They knew Dragonrend so they would be very valuable in the fight.
Next is Jurgen Windcaller, founder of the Greybeards. The man was dressed in the familiar mon robes and held no visible weapons, probably content with the might of voice alone.
He noticed some Harbingers from the Companions, some Arch-Mages of the College of Winterhold... Surtr didn't know most of the people who'd gathered before him, he was thankful for their help however, even if they only assist in fear of his failure.
With that Surtr marches out of Shor's Hall with an army of heroes at his back, his living army cheering when they spot him.
"By gods! Ysgramor!" Kodlak and a few other Companions quickly drop to their knees at the sight of the man, a similar yet less intense event occurring amidst the College Mages. Some people even got to greet their ancestors and grandfathers.
*ROOOOOOAAAAARRR!*
A long roar echoes from the mist, and Surtr could tell that Paarthurnax had fallen by the lack of response. "TO BATTLE! LET US END THIS WORM!"
"Come! Use your voice to clear the mist!" Jurgen shouts, prompting everyone who can use the Thu'um to step forward. """"LOK VAH KOOR!!!!""""
Instantly the mist is washed away, clearing all of it from existence and allowing everyone to spot Alduin standing proudly atop a hill, next to him the skeletal corpse of Paarthurnax lay, his soul stolen by the World-Eater.
Alduin looked far different than what Surtr had seen before however... He was two or three times larger, with large cracks visible in his scales that glowed with untapped power, the air around him vibrated and rippled as if the air itself was fearful to be in his presence.
The World-Eater's molten red eyes turn towards them, he stands upright and spreads his wings wide as the sky begins literally spinning, clouds manifesting and swirling.
"DAAR LOS FAAL OBLAAN DOVAHKIIN! LOK YOL MAH!" (THIS IS THE END DRAGONBORN!) the World-Eater roars, and meteors, far larger than the ones he'd unleashed on the Throat of the World begin falling.
"GODS! TAKE COVER!" Kodlak shouts as the many mages, dead and alive, begin creating shields to defend against the attack from the sky, only for Alduin to follow up with another shout.
"GOL MOTAAD SULEYK!!"
*GRRRrRrrrrrRRRRRRRRrrrrRRRRRRRRRRR!!!*
The world rumbles as the earth splits and ruptures, the hills and lands around Sovngarde angrily shaking and throwing many clear off of their feet. A few unfortunate souls simple plummet to their deaths as a huge crack in the ground forms and swallow them, forcing everyone near it to retreat.
"LEIN VEN LUV!!!"
As if the earthquake wasn't enough, tornados begin forming and sucking everything near them up into the sky before violenting throwing them back to earth. The mages were working overtime to stop the most glaring problems, but their efforts weren't enough as people get picked off one by one by the cataclysms... And they hadn't even gotten close to Alduin yet!
"ATTACK! THERE'S NO DEFENDING AGAINST THIS! JOOR ZAH FRUL!"
"""JOOR ZAH FRUL!""" many more people join him in using Dragonrend, the blue ripples shoot directly towards the dragon, but just as Alduin is about to dodge Jurgen Windcaller steps in. "GOLT GEVILD VOZAHLAAS!"
Powerful roots and arms made of earth shoot up from the ground and grab Alduin, winding around his wings, legs, and tail to hold him in place, allowing the mortality shouts to connect and cripple the dragon.
"NII TRUN NI! ZU'U LOST NAHMUL DAAR! JOOR VIS NI GEVILD ZEY!" (IT MATTERS NOT! I HAVE OVERCOME THIS! MORTAL CAN NOT HOLD ME!!!) the World-Eater roars as he flaps his wings, forcing off the blue lights sticking to it, causing a cracking sound akin to breaking glass to sound out. Then, Alduin takes to the sky, flying over the army.
"HE BROKE DRAGONREND!? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?" Hakon One-Eye, one of the three heroes fearfully exclaims.
"He has grown too powerful!" Felldir the Old shouts back, "PREPARE YOURSELVES! HE COMES!"
"Damn lizard! Someone take it to ground so I can hit it!" Ysgramor angrily says as he readies his shield.
"YOL TOOR SHUL!"
*THWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!*
Alduin breathes fire down at the army, breaking through most of the erected magical shields and incinerating everyone who isn't behind someone who can use the Thu'um to combat it. Surtr, with the other ancient heroes use their own Fire Breath shouts to force Alduin's back, but it's a hard-fought battle which ends with countless deaths regardless.
"There must be something we can do, surely!?" Surtr asks in a slight panic, realising that even with all these heroes there was a high chance of failure.
"There is! Follow my words! Hear it within yourself, focus on bringing Alduin down to face us as equals!" Jurgen Windcaller exclaims as he starts his shout, "JOOR DUR DOVAH! MAH RONIT KOS!"
Everyone near him screams those words up at Alduin, even if they couldn't actually use the Thu'um, so fearful they were for their lives that even a chance of assisting was better than nothing.
The explosive words fire a huge rippled up into the sky as it seemingly homes in on Alduin, the dragon tries to escape it with some mid-air maneuvres but is eventually caught in the back.
A golden glow overtakes Alduin, unlike the blue that comprised the usual Dragonrend shout. Then, Alduin drops like a rock, directly towards the floor like a lightning bolt thrown by zeus.
*CRAAAAAAAAASSSSHHHH!!!!!*
"HE'S DOWN! KILL HIM! TAKE HIS COWARDLY HEAD AND STRIP HIS SCALES! THE WORLD-EATER FALLS TODAY!" Surtr roars before sprinting over towards the downed dragon.

The army charges over to Alduin, jumping over the large crevices and cracks in the ground, avoiding the sweeping tornados, and barely blocking the occasional meteor that falls their way. Twenty more people fall in this venture alone, but finally, they reach the World-Eater...
Alduin was still struggling with the effects of the empowered mortality shout he'd just taken, and so was ill-prepared to defend against the sudden attack.
Ysgramor goes first, leaps high and smashing his own Wuuthrad down at Alduin's head. It connects and knocks the dragon's vision downwards, but doesn't manage fully penetrate the scales, simply leaving a large gash there instead.
A similar phenomenon occurs with everyone else too, their weapons doing little to no damage against Alduin's impenetrable defences. A few men and women try their luck with some shouts, but most simply dissipate or bounce off of the dragon, accomplishing nothing at all.
"DAMN DRAGON! JUST! DIE!" Surtr roars in fury as his every attack simply fails, something that hadn't happened since his first fight against a dragon. "MID VUR SHAAN! SU GRAH DUN!" he shouts to empower his attacks, yet they still don't break through.
"SAAALUUUUK!!!" Alduin roars at the top of his lungs as he stands upright, his shout literally causing the weaker members of the army to drop dead where they stand. "MEYUS KLAV! BONU!" (FOOLISH ANTS! BEGONE!)
Alduin begins biting, clawing, and tearing at the men and women around him, each swipe of his claws bisected someone, his bites devouring them whole. It was an absolute slaughter with little to no progress at actually defeating the God-like dragon.
"GRONSULEYK FAHDON ULD!" hurriedly shouts Surtr, prompting the other Tongues to use similar shouts to empower their allies. This proves to be a wise decision, as Aela lines up an enchanted ebony arrow before firing it.
*SUKI!*
The arrow goes straight through one of Alduin's eyes, causing the apocalyptic dragon to let out an ear-bursting roar that literally throws many people clear from their feet.
Alduin recovers quickly however, turning to face Aela who was rapidly retreating... "YOL TOOR SHUL!"
"AELA MOV-" Surtr starts but is too late.
*THWOOOOOM!*
A wave of fire catches the female Werewolf and incinerates her, leaving nothing but ashes behind. The remaining Companions give wrathful screams in response and begin making risky attacks, which have them be picked off one by one.
"RII VAAZ SOL!" Surt uses the Soul Tear shout in a panic, only to find it doing literally nothing, as if Alduin's soul was simply too strong to be affected by such pitiful means. "GODS BE DAMNED! IS THERE NO END TO THIS BEAST!? TIID KLO UI!" he shouts, using Time Slow this time.
Only to feel the effect of his shout shatter, and Alduin's eyes land on him.
"ZU'U LOS FAAL WUTH KUL DO BORMAH! RAH DO TIID! HI LOS DILON MEY, DOVAHKIIN!" (I AM THE ELDEST SON OF AKATOSH! GOD OF TIME! YOU ARE A DEAD FOOL, DRAGONBORN!)
"SHUT UP AND FIGHT ME, 'ELDEST WORM!" Surtr roars as he runs forwards, his blood thrumming with power as Alduin makes his own attack.
He tries to jump as the dragon bites at him, but finds Alduin too fast to avoid, leaving him vulnerable in the air.
"TAKE THIS!" Ysgramor shouts from nowhere and slashes Wuuthrad into Alduin's open mouth, carving out one of the dragon's canines and wetting his axe with divine blood.
Surtr rolls to a stop, momentarily dazed at not being dead, but recovers soon enough to chop up at Alduin's neck. To try and break through the scales he adds a shout atop it, "KINZ VAHZAH NOS!"
*CRACK!*
Wuutrhad's blade chops deeply into Alduin's neck, breaching the scales and drawing blood... But it isn't quite deep enough, allowing the dragon to swat him away, forcing him to leave his weapon where it's stuck...
"TIID VUTH DIIN!" Alduin bellows, causing time to freeze for everyone except Surtr, who was only able to slowly move his eyes and follow Alduin's form... He watches helplessly as the dragon looms over Ysgramor before biting down on him, crunching his body in half before devouring the rest.
Then, Alduin starts moving towards Surtr... "Daar Los Faal Oblaan, Joor." (This is the end, Mortal.)
Just before Alduin reaches him however, time slowly begins resuming all of a sudden. Alduin's head jolts upwards at the sky with a fierce glare, "HI FUND QAHNAAR ZEY, BORMAH!? HI WAHLAAN ZEY FAH DAAR GETIID!" (YOU WOULD DENY ME, FATHER!? YOU CREATED ME FOR THIS MOMENT!) Alduin shouts, and as he's seemingly listening for an answer, Surtr makes his attack.
He grabs Ysgramor's Wuuthrad from the ground and jumps, burying the axe in the same wound where his Wuuthrad is currently located.
*PPUUUCHCHHIIII!* *CRAAKKK!*
Blood explodes from the wound, expelling the two Wuuthrad's as it floods the floor and completely covers Surtr. The pressure of it is like a full-power water hose, and even something as large as Alduin would be emptied of blood in a matter of minutes...
"S-SURTR! YOU DID IT!" Kodlak exclaims.
"Not yet he hasn't!" Jurgen Windcaller shouts as Alduin shakes his head and focuses back on his enemies. The wound would eventually lead to his death, unless he absorbed a Dragon Soul to heal it...
"DOOOOVVAAAAAAAAHHHHHHKIKKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNN!!!!!!!!"
"Oh, FUCK!" Surtr exclaims as he grabs the two Wuuthrads and runs in the opposite direction of the dragon that begins chasing him like a mad dog.
"HOLD HIM OFF! DON'T LET HIM REACH THE DRAGONBORN!"
"VRII DIIN GEBLAAN!" Jurgen shouts, freezing Alduin for a moment before the beast breaks out and continues its pursuit, all the while leaving a large trail of boiling blood.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! FUCK!" Surtr exclaims as he leaps over a rupture in the ground and accidentally gets sucked up into a tornado, pulling him away from Alduin but also the safety of the ground...
