Almighty Thor Page #2

---

I have games of my own

I can play.

Come, my friends.

We're trapped.

Our only chance

is to wait until nightfall

and then we sneak

out of here.

A warrior God doesn't

sneak around at night.

A warrior uses his cunning

and temperance

to win a battle.

And one of these...

Swung with skill.

I swing hard enough.

Skill, even above strength.

Who taught you

how to fight?

I taught myself...

By watching my brother

practice when I was small.

Who taught you?

The Valkyries,

warrior-guardian

of the gods.

I was second in command

under Odin's father.

Hmm.

Swing.

Not again.

Skill above strength.

Swing.

You have no chance

against Loki

unless you learn

the skills I have.

Then you better

teach me quick,

'cause I'm going

to kill Loki

the first chance I get.

Thor?

I can hear you.

Come, my friends!

This is

much more comfortable.

[Explosion]

What is that?

[Rumbling]

They're coming.

I thought you said

nothing could come in here

uninvited.

I think I was wrong.

What?

We must find

the other gateway.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

There isn't time.

Loki's probably

on to us.

Then I say we ambush 'em

at the next bend,

kill him,

and be done with it.

Look, even with

all you've learned,

we're still not a match

for his powers.

We have to go

to Midgard.

From there's

we'll find a way

to the Tree of Life.

But the portal was destroyed.

There is another

entrance. Come on!

Look what I let them do

to my father's land.

Asgard was doomed

as soon as Odin died.

You have a different

world to save.

Look!

Look!

New life already

begins to grow.

There is hope after all.

Come on.

The gateway is just

beyond these trees.

[Growling]

[Growling]

No, no, no. No!

Thor!

It didn't have

to be this way.

Could have died

without her, Thor.

You want the Hammer

of Invincibility?

Here. Take it!

Go!

Go!

Yes.

No!

Thor?

Tell me that was not

the Hammer

you gave to Loki.

Of course I didn't.

I saw it!

It was always the ax.

I only made him think

that it was the Hammer.

But I saw it.

You were within range.

Come on.

Loki can't be

far behind.

My place

is right up here.

Give me your purse.

No.

I said give me your purse.

[Thor clears throat]

Thank you.

Now you gotta pay.

Give me your wallet.

Thor, we don't want

to be noticed like this.

Come on. Let's go.

This way. This way.

Go!

This does not

seem like

the dwelling

of a demigoddess.

It's not supposed to.

The people here

must think I'm human.

They don't believe in

the Tree of Life anymore.

Here. Wear this.

You'll be less conspicuous.

Here. Take this.

Careful.

These are very powerful.

It's from Midgard.

How do you use it?

Here. Just put

your finger here.

This one goes up here.

Good. Be sure

this is pulled.

Now pull the trigger.

Just think of it

as the shaft of a spear,

and aim your point

at the center

of your target.

Good.

Your humans certainly

understand their weaponry.

They're warriors...

like the gods.

I'm beginning to like

your humans even more.

We are...here.

And the nearest channel

to the heart

of the tree is here.

But we're going to have

to open it ourselves.

How?

The tree will tell us how

when the time comes.

We could wait until

the dark of the night.

Let's do it.

Hmm.

Or we could leave now.

To get the Hammer,

we must pass through

the gateway portal

to the Tree of Life.

Right there.

Here it is.

The opening

has been covered up.

Can you feel anything?

A wall.

Well, we must enter

the portal now

or we won't get

to the Hammer in time.

It will just disappear.

And go back to Loki.

Here.

Yes. Yes.

It's under this.

We have to uncover it.

[Speaking foreign language]

Thor, I need you.

I'm here.

Concentrate with me.

We need a strong channel

through us to open it.

Gateway.

Gateway.

Gateway!

Let's go.

Ready?

You feel it?

The presence of the

essence of all life,

right down

to her beating heart.

[Pounding]

What is that?

It's the heart beat.

It's coming

from down in there.

Wait. Wait.

What if it's a trap?

You should stay.

Why?

Thor, if you die,

it's over for all of us.

We go together.

All right.

You cannot escape me, Thor.

I will possess the Hammer

of Invincibility.

[Pounding]

The heart is on

the other side,

and the Hammer with it.

Pass through

and you will be there.

Aren't you coming?

This part of the journey

is for you alone.

There is a knight

who guards

the Tree of Life.

You must defeat him

at all costs.

The heart of the tree.

Where is it?

Where is the Hammer?

Thor!

Father?

Thor, my son,

the power of my fathers

is now in you.

Use the Hammer.

Find it.

Take this Hammer, son,

the power is now yours.

It's yours.

Oh, great Tree of Life,

thank you

from my heart

for all that you

have given us.

Give me the strength

so that I might save you

from destruction.

How will Loki know

we've returned?

He'll know.

We must lure him

back to Asgard.

I'm going to track

Loki down and kill him.

You're not ready

to face Loki yet.

Why? I have the Hammer.

I have the will.

What more do I need?

The powers

of your father.

A strategy. An army.

Well, I don't have an army,

so I guess I'm on my own.

You're not

on your own, Thor.

You should stay

far away from me.

Loki is more likely

to appear when I'm alone.

Do you trust me, Thor?

Yes.

We should go back

to the war camp.

The war camp? Why?

To continue

your training.

We will need

its protection

so one day

you can defeat Loki.

One day?

I have to defeat Loki now.

You're not ready yet.

We should go back

to the war camp.

Well, we don't have

to go back there.

I took the rune stone

of protection

and put it inside

your dwelling place.

Good.

Then we'll go back

to my dwelling

and safely finish

your training there.

No training!

No hiding!

I kill Loki

and stop Ragnerok,

and that's final.

I know Loki's in here.

Loki!

Come out and face me, Loki!

Son of Odin.

You're no match

for me.

The Hammer

of Invincibility.

Defend yourself, Loki.

Aah!

Let's go.

I'm sorry.

I should have hit him

when I had the chance.

You're brave.

Rash, stubborn,

but brave.

Wait here. I'll check

the perimeter.

Jarnsaxa...

You are a noble warrior.

I thank you.

[Rumbling]

He's close.

Good. This time I'll be

happy to hit him in the back.

No! No!

You were nearly

destroyed earlier.

You almost lost

the Hammer.

Well, it won't happen again.

Are you with me?

Are you with me?

Loki:
Jarnsaxa

cannot be trusted.

She has kissed the demons.

She is a concubine

for Midgard.

You must kill her.

Thor?

Loki:
She only wants

the Hammer.

Kill her.

Thor, do not listen to him.

He's playing mind tricks.

He's the devil,

the serpent,

the spirit of trickery

and deception.

Thor!

Thor!

We must go back

to my dwelling,

to the protection

of the rune stone.

No! We can kill him.

I swear it.

Thor, please!

No!

Thor!

This is madness.

He's a liar, a cheater.

Do not believe what you see.

Maybe the Norns were right.
