"FUS RO DAH!" Alduin shouts, launching Surtr into the sky without even gravity to pull him back down. This attack was more to mock him than anything else, declaring him unfit to be a dragon without any wings to show.
Surtr wasn't able to consider this however as he rapidly spins and falls upwards, not knowing when or if the shout's effect would end, and how he'd survive should he return to earth... The only time he'd heard anything even somewhat similar to this was in the stories of men leaving the world when struck by a giant, only to survive by landing in a haybale... He wasn't going to risk himself on that however.
He spots a meteorite shooting toward his general vicinity, allowing him to reach out with his axe and hit it, the subsequent explosion knocking him towards the area about the Throat of the World.
Alduin was now battling in mid-air with Paarthurnax since Dragonrend's effects had ended, his flight unobstructed as the meteorite shower avoids his giant black body completely.
Durnehviir was trying to aid the dragon, but was failing spectacularly. He dove in to bite at Alduin's rump, only for the World Eater to spin and slash at his face, sending him plummeting towards the mountain. He strikes it with huge force, sending boulders and a mini-avalanche barreling down the side of the mountain.
"Nii Los Zeim Rel Tol Faal Lein Los Vahzah, Un Bormah Vorohah Mii Daar Ven Wah Hel Nii Viilut!" (IT IS THROUGH DOMINATION THAT THE WORLD IS TRUE, OUR FATHER MADE US THIS WAY TO SET IT RIGHT!) Alduin roars, his voice sending Paarthurnax tumbling through the sky as the dragon struggles to recover.
"Rel nunon raak wah gral! Un bormah drey ni kiindah ont oblaan ok vorey kiindah! Striving avok un ubaak ziidol los ven amativ, zeymah!" (Domination only leads to destruction! Our father did not birth us to end his other creations! Striving above our base urges is the way forward, brother!) Paarthurnax responds in kind, but Alduin isn't faltered at all even as Paarthurnax's words blast him in the face.
"Hi Tinvaak Wah Mindok Fos Bormah Laan! ? Zu'u Los Diist Kiin! Faal Lein Los Daaga Dii Wah Al! Hi Vis Tinvaatey Voth Hin Joor Nukaas Pah Hi Hind, Nuz Faal Vahzen Fen Reyzan Ful!" (YOU SPEAK TO KNOW WHAT FATHER WANTS!? I AM FIRST BORN! THE WORLD IS RIGHTFULLY MINE TO DESTROY! YOU CAN PLAY WITH YOUR MORTAL PUPPETS ALL YOU WISH, BUT THE TRUTH WILL REMAIN SO!) Alduin exclaims after failing to bite a hole in his brother's wing, spinning to avoid the claw headed for his eye.
"Til Fen Kos Nid Wah Rel Voth Nii Al! Hi Yah Oblaan Ahrk Ul! Hi Vis Ni Lost Ney!" (THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO RULE WITH IT DESTROYED! YOU SEEK AN END AND ETERNITY! YOU CAN NOT HAVE BOTH!) Paarthurnax argues, but is struck in the back by a meteorite before Alduin can respond, sending him colliding against the peak of the mountain, splitting it in two as he rolls to a stop near the Word Wall.
"Nax! Stop hurting him you big black ass hole!" Illococoo screams as she goes in for her own attack, "VEN LUV QA!" she shouts, instantly causing a line to form over Alduin's back which opens and sprays blood as it doe so.
Alduin turns and glares at her, his rumbling growl causing the rubble of the mountain to vibrate, "I SPARED YOU ONCE, WHELP! PREPARE TO DI-"
"JOOR ZAH FRUL! STOP MONOLOGUING VILLAIN!" she shouts, using Dragonrend despite the fact that it should be impossible.
It strikes Alduin and sends him to the ground again, his landing causing a mini-earthquake as he slides to a stop. "HOW CAN YOU USE THAT INFERNAL SHOUT!?"
"BECAUSE I'M A BETTER DRAGON THAN YOU!" she exclaims, darting over his head while utilising her elemental wind manipulation to speed herself up considerably, "VEN STRUN LUV!" she exclaims as she passes, blasting Alduin with the equivalent of an air element fireball.
*WOOOOKKKSH!*
Alduin shrugs off the cutting winds however, lifting his face skywards and shouting "LOK FUS GOL!" at her. She spins in the air though and barely avoids it, and isn't attacking again as the World Eater turns his attention towards the limping Paarthurnax that was approaching him.
"Hi Los Sahlo, Nuz Fen Aam Zeim Dinok!" (YOU ARE WEAK, BUT WILL SERVE THROUGH DEATH!), "WILL YOU SPEAK YOUR LAST WORDS IN THE MORTAL TONGUE!?" he sneers as he approaches.
"If only to insult you. You are unworthy of our father's name, he blesses mortals just as he blessed up with life. Even now he sends his son to stop you, it is he who allows the existence of Dragonborn." Paarthurnax states as he readies himself for a melee battle.
"Pathetic." Alduin simply says as he lunches forward and bites his opponent's shoulder, his teeth cutting through scale and flesh like a knife through butter. Like a dog he shakes his head, worsening the wound.
Paathrunax replies with his own bite, but he isn't able to get a proper hold on Alduin's steel-like scales, his teeth finding no purchase.
"BITE THIS!" a voice shouts from above them and when the two dragons' eyes look upwards, they see Illococoo throwing a very angry-looking Surtr down at them...
"WULD NAH KEST!" he roars, using Whirlwind Sprint to increase his momentum as he slams Wuuthrad down.
*CHOOOOKKKK!*
The axe buries itself into the vulnerable section on Alduin's back that Illococoo had wounded earlier, allowing it to bypass the World Eater's scales and directly into his flesh.
*ROOOOOOAAAAAARRR!*
Alduin rears up as pain shoots through him, the axe having barely missed his spine.
Paarthurnax, now free, clamps his jaws down on Alduin's neck, a few of his teeth penetrating shallowly into his scales.
"Zu'u Fen Ni Aus Daar!" Alduin growls, "Suleyk Gaar Fus!"
*BOOOM!*

*BOOOM!*
Everyone is blasted backwards, Surtr, Paarthurnax, Illococoo in the air, and even Alduin is launched straight off of the mountain from the force of his shout.
Illococoo has to spin the air and fly at Surtr to recover him since his gravity was still reversed, and Paarthurnax was far too injured to rapidly recover from his displacement.
Alduin was like a giant scaly black cannonball flying off of the mountain, Dragonrend's effect barely ceases in time for him to stop himself from hitting the floor. Even with preventing that, he was still injured from Surtr's earlier attack, blood dripping in the air from the cut in his back.
"YOU MAY HAVE WON THIS DAY, DRAGONBORN! BUT I WILL RETURN! STRONGER! AND WITH AN ARMY AT MY BACK! NID FEN KRIIST WAH ZEY!" he roars as he begins flying away, not willing to risk taking another Dragonrend and his potential defeat.
With his escape, the meteor storm stops, allowing Surtr and his dragon allies some reprieve... Durnehviir was limping back up the mountain with a snapped wing and fractured leg, Paarthurnax had lost enough blood to kill a mammoth, and Illococoo had expended too much magic forcefully manipulating air elemental energy.
Surtr was no better either, Alduin's shout had broken many of his ribs, a clavicle, and ruptured some internal organs judging by the blood he was coughing... His favoured arm was also heavily strained, using it to smack meteors to position himself and attack Alduin had made it painful just by its existence, let alone moving it...
Illococoo flies drops and lands heavily as she lowers Surtr to the ground, the Rhyme Dragom dropping to her side exhausted... "Hahhh... D-did we do it...?"
"We did... But not without damage to our own." Surtr grunts as he falls onto his ass. He checks his backpack but finds most of his potions shattered and worthless... "Fuck."
"Kein fen fahbo." Paathurnax utters as he falls tiredly onto his chest, his shoulder still seeping blood, "Alduin will soon recover, he will not be so arrogant the next we fight..."
Surtr clutches his ribs and rests on the ground, "Will my troubles never end..." he groans... Sure, he should be happy that they'd 'defeated' the literally World Eater, but that was only with the combined might of him and three incredibly strong dragons, along with the crippling effects of Dragonrend.
If Alduin decides to bring an army of dragons with him next, Surtr was sure the battle would not end so favourably. "What do we do...? We need to catch him before he gathers his forces... We won't be able to fight him and an army of dragons..."
"Maybe we should ask for big bro to help..." Illococoo tiredly asks.
"Maybe..." Surtr reluctantly admits, regardless his new suspicion of Michael's intentions, letting the world be destroyed over a grudge would be the height of stupidity.
"The situation is not as grave as it seems... Alduin's defeat here will pause many of our kin, not everyone follows him willingly, but out of fear... Some may choose to side with us..." Paathurnax informs.
"And do you think that is likely?" Surtr asks.
...
"Perhaps... Your relentless hunting of our kin may see them fleeing Skyrim completely..."
Surtr sniffs, "Maybe they should have thought about burning farms, villages, and cities then."
"Are you forgetting those who you butchered in their nests?" Durnehviir asks as he slowly lumbers into view. "We roost atop mountains as much to protect ourselves than to survey our territory..."
...
"Do any of you know where Alduin will go now?"
"Sovngarde, I suspect." Paarthurnax states, causing Surtr's breath to hitch in his throat.
"S-Sovngarde!?"
"Hmm." Paarthurnax gives an acknowledging hum, "He will feed on the souls of the dead to regain his power, perhaps even gain power... I recall there existing deep in the eastern mountains that could take the living to Sovngarde, he will use this."
"T-then we must stop him! I can't let him devour and defile my ancestors! This can not stand!" he exclaims, trying to get to his feet but failing due to his injuries.
"You're not going anywhere like that..." Illococoo remarks, still not getting up herself.
"Neither should he. We need to rest, plan. Alduin will be expecting us to follow."
Surtr grits his teeth, "Let us find which dragons still want to serve him then, gather those who want to fight and we'll take the battle to him."
Paathurnax nods, "I will ask my kin, you speak with yours. Tell them of Alduin's action in Sovngarde, bring them forth."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four days later :
"So... You mean to tell me that a dragon, Alduin, is currently in Sovngarde devouring the souls of our ancestors...?" Ulfric slowly regurgitates Surtr's explanation, trying to figure out whether or not the Dragonborn had truly lost his mind.
Surtr calmy folds his still-sore arms, "Did you not notice the catastrophe happening over the Throat of the World? Ivarstead and Riverwood were almost completely destroyed, along with what was left of Helgen... Even High Hrothgar is barely standing at the moment!"
"I saw the reports but just assumed that a dragon attacked! The barest notion of your tale hadn't even entered my mind! Nor the minds of any of my advisors!"
"Well, High King, you better believe it! Because if you ignore it who knows how many souls of honourable men and women would be devoured! It will be too late by the time you pull your head from your ass!"
"How dare you speak to your King like tha-" a nearby guard exclaims, but Surtr responds with a weak "Fus!", sending him spinning into a wall which easily knocks him out.
"WE MUST ACT, ULFRIC! I barely survived the battle with Alduin with three dragons aiding me! What do you think will happen when I face him and an army of dragons!?"
...
