Thor
and Sif stand amazed at the monsters brought to Earth by the vengeful Kurse:
the Midgard Serpent, Nidhogg, Fafnir the Giant, Forsung the Enchanter, Fafnir
the Dragon, an Ice Giant, and a pair of Ice Dwarves. Thor tries once again to
tell Kurse he is not Malekith but Thor and once again Kurse, under the enemy’s
spell, does not believe him and attacks….
Odin
watches the events on Midgard through the magic viewer and chooses not to help
Thor, who left Asgard for Earth….
The
monsters begin a rampage on Earth and Thor flies high into the sky to stop
Nidhogg from devouring a jet plane, calling down lightning the kill the monster
once again. Sif takes on Fafnir the Giant and Fafnir the Dragon and seems to be
losing while Thor must deal with the largest and deadliest foe, the Midgard
Serpent. And then help arrives in the form of the High Evolutionary, leading
his Godpack. Distracted by this new development, Thor is trapped in the
Serpent’s toothy mouth where noxious fumes begin to have an effect on him as he
tries to pound his way out with Mjolnir. HE orders the Godpack to attack and
they do. Sif and Blitziana take on Fafnir the Dragon while the others split up,
each choosing a foe. Riger, the weakest of the team, is warned not to endanger
himself but he whips out a solid light projector and blasts the Ice Giant in
the face….
In
Asgard, Odin wearily turns away from the magic viewer and leaves the room. Beta Ray Bill,
Balder, the Grand Vizier, and the Warriors Three come out of hiding
as the All-Father had forbidden them to use the viewer to check on Thor. They
see Thor and his allies faring poorly against the monsters and we see Thor
himself about to succumb to the Serpent’s poisonous breath. Kurse exults in
victory—and then he is blasted by the new players on the field: Beta Ray Bill,
Balder, and the Warriors Three….
In
Asgard, Odin catches the Grand Vizier watching the battle on Earth; GV realizes
that Odin had set them all up, knowing Thor’s pals would rush to his side
without his having to order them to do so. He acted as a father before Lord of
Asgard….
