Marvel Super Hero Adventures: Frost Fight! Page #4

---

And even if you do,

he is far too powerful for you.

That, my stalwart Santa sentry,

is why we needed the box.

Fool!

You'll trap us all!

Wrong again.

This just isn't your day.

No-o-o-o!

Get clear!

Biggest tremor yet.

We're almost there.

Or it's already here.

Loki sent us a present.

Why can't I ever be wrong?

Keep pushing.

There has to be a weakness.

Apparently

it's called a whistle.

You trained the jorokraken?

This relic held sway

over the jorokraken

when we found it.

We know not how,

but we remain grateful

for its existence.

You and us both.

What happened to loki

and ymir?

They escaped with the casket

and left me sealed in.

Fortunately, my knowledge

of the hidden passages

allowed me to escape.

These tunnels

have secret tunnels?

- That's just too much tunnel.

- They're on the move.

Where is jolnir?

Jolnir calls the top

of mount jolly home.

Of course.

I was gonna guess that.

We need to get there, now.

The emerald guard does not

allow outlanders on mount jolly.

Yeah? Tell that

to freezy and sleazy.

We will, vigorously.

Look, this isn't a turf war.

We want to help.

And since you coughed up

that power box,

seems like you guys

could use it.

Think it over,

long-bow short-fuse.

Thank you.

We decline your offer.

It's not an offer.

There's too much at stake.

We're going.

You don't have to help us.

But we won't let you

stop us.

Yay. Happy ending.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Pardon me.

How could you

let them pass?

What we began,

our brothers will finish.

Season's greetings!

I'm Nicholas,

store manager.

But, please,

call me Nick.

What can I help you find today?

We seek playthings

and trinkets of amusement

for the children

of this world.

Ho ho ho!

You're in the right place.

Toy to the world

has the widest selection

of toys in the world.

Toy cars, toy planes...

Why does this man

seem familiar?

'Cause he looks

like Santa claus?

No.

...toy saws, toy clocks--

Nick, have we met

in the past?

Um, no.

I'd remember you.

Ho ho ho ho ho ho!

The laugh?

The beard?

Come on.

Santa claus.

Nick, have you ever

journeyed to asgard?

Um, is that overseas?

Yes. Over seas, lands,

space, and time.

Santa. Claus.

Of course!

The resemblance is uncanny!

So, are you looking

for a specific toy?

Yeah. All of them.

Indeed. We require

every toy you possess.

Charge it all

to Tony stark.

And you, Nick.

I believe we require

you as well.

That's him.

Rotten, low-life crook.

Let's grab him,

quick and quiet,

and get out

of this snow globe.

Place gives me the creeps.

And stop eating

those gumdrops!

End of the trail,

Santa claus!

Nothing personal,

just business.

You're worth a whole lot

of loot to somebody.

Actually,

it is a bit personal!

Taking cookies from kids?

How do you sleep at night?

What?

Groot, lose the scarf.

I said,

"I'm afraid you've got

the wrong claus."

I'm Mrs. claus,

Santa's wife.

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

Oh, I wish.

Oh, but I'm not much

of a jokester.

Not like you two.

I mean, this prank--

what a hoot!

I'm so sorry I spoiled it.

"Prank"?

Sure.

Pretending to be bandits,

leaping out to catch Santa.

Delightful!

Hop in. I'll give you

a ride to our place.

Santa loves it

when old friends drop by.

Eh...

Yeah. Yeah, we're old friends

here to play a prank on Santa.

You saw right through us.

Come on, groot.

This sweet old lady's

gonna help us bag her husband.

So, how far are we-e-e-e...

We know jolnir is up there.

Why do we cower here

like rodents?

Ugh! I'm unable to open

a portal on that mountain.

It's shrouded in magic--

jolnir's magic.

And there are

certainly more defenses

than the light elves we see.

So why confront them ourselves

when we can let

our willing decoys

do it for us?

What decoys?

Those decoys.

Heroes.

They're more reliable

than clocks.

Halt.

Come no closer.

We have no choice.

We need to reach jolnir

before it's too late.

Stand down.

You give no orders here,

outlander.

Maybe we should

let humberto talk.

That worked last time.

Just an idea.

It's okay, guys.

If I was identical

to everyone around me,

I'd be tense too.

Now take a hike so,

you know,

we can take a hike.

So, Santa's elves

make toys and weapons.

Want to let humberto

talk now?

Uh, might be too late.

Agreed.

We're past talking.

Reptil, stay close

to iron man.

Try to keep up, kid.

Last one to the top

cleans up the mess.

Go easy.

We're on the same side.

Not sure they got that memo.

Get clear!

Yeah. They're not

blowing kisses at us.

Incoming at 1:
00!

3:
00! 10:00!

7:
00! 8:00 and 9:00!

Got it, kid.

Around-the-clock arrow-rama.

Propulsion's off-line.

Going down.

I'm okay.

Good. Stay put.

No problem,

since I can't move.

Air support headed your way.

Snow down, fellas!

Captain marvel, boost.

Got it!

Reptil, tail!

What? Did you say

"tail" or "whale"?

"Tail." Got it.

Something's happening.

Santa's gone.

I can't believe it.

Looks like dirt squid

called it a day too.

I guess they're

a holiday package deal.

Too bad the elves

weren't part of that package.

So we're not

gonna meet Santa?

I'm, uh, not so sure

this is a good idea, guys.

Nonsense, Nick.

You were born

for this endeavor.

In this sleigh,

you will bring hope and joy

to children everywhere.

Oh.

Well, that sounds

pretty good. Ugh!

Are we ready

for a test flight?

Sky looks clear.

And your helmet wings

look like antlers if you squint.

Wait. Flight?

That was a joke, right?

Flying terrifies me-e-e!

You will wait

for commander athidel.

No, thank you.

No more waiting.

It's time to say good night.

Follow my lead.

Wait. Please,

just hear me out.

You elves are sworn

to protect Santa.

But Santa's gone,

so... we're all good, right?

Whew.

Seriously, what is that?

Dino-hypnotism?

You think I know?

No one listens to me.

You don't listen to me.

It's not personal.

- Who listens to kids?

- We do.

And the young one

speaks true.

Jolnir has departed,

eliminating the cause

for conflict between us.

You're free to go.

Yeah, yeah.

I get that part.

But why do you guys

only listen to the kid?

The greater the youth,

the greater the truth.

Indeed.

Youth is an asset.

The young are dear to jolnir.

But more importantly,

we light elves can sense

who believes in jolnir

and who does not.

Humberto believes.

And we trust the words

of a believer.

How'd he know my name?

You think I know?

So where is jolnir?

Where did he go?

The time of giving--

when jolnir distributes gifts

to the children

of the nine realms--

is at hand.

It begins on the world

closest to ours, midgard,

in a remote location

of jolnir's choosing.

I believe you call it

the north pole.

Ha! I knew it!

That's loki's next target.

We need to get there now.

Regretfully,

we cannot join you.

Per jolnir's wishes,

our duties end when

the time of giving begins.

So even Santa's elves

get the holidays off.

But not us. Nice.

Evil doesn't observe holidays.
