Thor returns to Earth with the Colonizers, ordering Tana Nile to retreat. Back on Rigel, they reveal the Grand Commissioner, who she loves, wants to marry her.
Thor searches for Jane Foster with a Rigellian psyche-search gauge. Tagar and Porga escort Jane to Wundagore in Transia. Bandits attack, but the Knights of Wundagore defeat them. The Knights of Wundagore capture Thor and take him to Wundagore, where he was shocked by their unmasked animal forms.
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch see lights on a mountaintop near Wundagore.
