Returning
to Mount Wundagore from Asgard, Thor comes under fire from a military jet,
mistaking him for an enemy craft. He rebukes the pilot who fires a heat-seeking
missile at him. Thor leads it on, hoping to dodge it but instead it explodes
near him; enraged, Thor calls down lightning upon the plane, destroying it but
leaving time for the pilot to eject. Reaching Wundagore, Thor is surprised to
see the peak, once destroyed, now looking like new. But it is a hologram and
Thor descends into the realm of the High Evolutionary and the Godpack. HE is
angry with Thor for leaving to take Don Blake home without asking permission;
Thor bristles while the others watch with interest this conflict between their
master and the God of Thunder. Thor questions HE as to whether he knew Don
Blake had been imprisoned within the mountain; HE bristles but recalls that he
had been told by Odin but had assumed it to be a dream, residue of a magical
influence that mountain has. Angered at his father’s treatment of him, Thor
lashes out but his blows are halted by Blitziana who challenges him to battle.
Instead, Thor apologizes and greets Jane Foster and her son Jimmy Kincaid. HE
lets it all go….
In
Asgard, Balder, Sif, and Beta Ray Bill are battling giant trolls when they are
joined by the New Thor, Red Norvell, and the enemies are quickly vanquished.
Norvell asks if he can speak to Sif privately and they fly off….
Back
at Wundagore, Jane shows Thor the Animutants she teaches. They are making great
progress but they dislike being ignored by the High Evolutionary in favor of
the Godpack. When Jane learns that Thor and Sif are no longer in a relationship,
she tentatively reaches out to Thor who quickly excuses himself, citing a need
to check up on Don Blake. Thor asks permission of HE to leave and is denied,
the master refusing to explain his reasons. The Godlings look on but concede
that it is Thor’s right to leave if he wants to. Thor mentions that he will
decide whether to stay with the Godpack or not when he returns. Blitziana,
faithful to the HE, tries to stop Thor from leaving and he destroys her mace
with a swing of Mjolnir. As he walks out, she blasts him with a bolt of
electricity, challenging him to battle. Thor lays down his hammer and strikes
back. The other Godlings watch as the
two electrically powered heroes fight with Blitziana insisting she should be the
only one of their type in the Godpack. Their combat nearly kills a hiker on
another mountain with Thor calling for her to reign in her violent rages. Thor
picks up a massive rock, ready to dump it on her but realizes in time that he
is no “vengeful slayer.” Jimmy rushes out to pick up Thor’s hammer for him and
the cliff collapses beneath him; Thor catches the boy and returns him to his
mother. Jane demands that all of the Godpack, even Thor, stay away from her and
her son. Thor grants that her wish is reasonable, takes up Mjolnir and flies
off, claiming he will never return. The Godpack doesn’t know what to make of
this but the High Evolutionary keeps his wisdom to himself….
