Eric Thor finds himself caught between two enemies, the
alien warrior Stellaris and the Thor from the future, Dargo Ktor. He is tossed
back and forth between his two assailants, barely able to catch his breath.
Zarrko the Tomorrow Man watches from his hidden time cube, proceeding with his sinister
plan to use the energy generated by the clash of two Mjolnirs to power up his Radical
Time Stabilizer which will enable him to become the sole Master of Time….
Stellaris stands back to watch the two men battle it out. A
deflected blast wrecks a bridge, vaulting a news team into the air. The two
Thors call a hasty truce to rescue the endangered innocents, causing Stellaris
to stand amazed at warriors who call for peace. She spies a motorcycle in the street
below and morphs her armor into a semblance of one and rides off. The news crew
rescued, the Thors go at it once again….
At home, Kevin overhears Marcy Masterson (his mom) and
Bobby Steele talking over his plan to adopt the boy. Shocked, he runs off while they
are ignoring him….
The Thors fight for a few more pages until their hammers
meet, sending shock waves through the universe until they reach the notice of…
…Beta Ray Bill with the Korbinite fleet. He tells the
leaders he is needed on Earth; they forbid him to go as his people need him
there….
Back in New York, the Thors find they have made a massive
crater in the street and are puzzled at how the same hammer can be in two
places at the dame time. They gear up to scrap again and Beta Ray Bill appears,
telling them to stop fighting. Bill wants to know who they are and what happened
to the true Thor. While they are explaining, Zarrko laughs and returns to the future
with Servitor. Bill and Dargo Thor want to follow him but Eric Thor balks. Bill
has to shame him into doing his duty as the God of Thunder. Reluctantly, he
joins his hammer to theirs and they travel into the future….
