Thor has been reigning over Earth for one hundred days and
members of the Church of Asgard gather at dawn to pray to him….
In the New Mexico desert, an agent of the US government,
accompanied by a military detail, meets with Artur Zarrko in secret. After
exchanging assurances that no one will know of the meeting, Zarrko outlines how
support for Thor has been growing in view of his miracles and overthrow of
tyrants and how the US government is afraid they will be next. Zarrko assures
them that Thor’s political influence will grow and Zarrko’s agents are working
to defeat Thor, “even as we speak….”
Heimdall is guarding the Rainbow Bridge when Perrikus of the
Dark Gods suddenly emerges from a gateway created by his ally Adva and
overpowers the Guardian. The brutal Dark God then dashes through the city,
assaulting citizens and wreaking havoc and heading toward the palace…
…where Thor surveys the work they have been doing; Balder
expresses concern over the opposition of many on Earth, which Thor does not
understand. Balder reminds him that it is because they were never asked, noting
they are uninvited guests….
Meanwhile in the Rain Forest, Thor Girl and some companions
are sitting in the trees, denying a lumber team access to the forest; the
workers respond that their families depend on their jobs. Thor Girl purchases
the forest from them with a bag of gold and the workers depart. Then a military
team fires a rocket at the Asgardians and chaos reigns….
In Asgard, Thialfi warns Thor to flee when suddenly Perrikus
breaks in and attacks Thor with his electric spear; Thor responds with Mjolnir
but suddenly the hammer vanishes, transported to another dimension by Adva. As
Perrikus beats Thor, he denounces the God of Thunder for his lack of
ruthlessness, which he considers an essential quality for a true leader. Thor
picks up the Bloodaxe and lops Perrikus’ right arm off. As Thor holds the axe,
he feels its malign influence working on him so he casts it aside and uses the
Odinforce to destroy it. He claims the villain’s spear and threatens to kill
Perrikus with it unless Adva returns Mjolnir, which she does. And he demands to
know who sent them there; Perrikus replies, “Zarrko….”
In the desert, Zarrko receives a phone call, then advises
the US military team to evacuate. Too late, Mjolnir comes down in their midst
and Thor seizes Zarrko, promising to toss him into the dungeon….
