Description
The powerless Thor rushes into battle against the enchanted armor called the Destroyer. He does not realize that the armor is inhabited by his beloved, the Lady Sif, and she is unable to speak to tell him. Sif attempts to hold back as Thor attacks, but the more Thor strikes, the harder it is from Sif to suppress the warrior lust of the armor. Finally, when Thor smashes a car over the armor's head, the Destroyer takes control from Sif. In Asgard, Loki and Karnilla gloat over their plan, and Karnilla has Balder brought before her. As she attempts to win Balder's affection, a sword flies past them, and a voice announces that it plans to slay them all. Meanwhile the out of control Destroyer continues to attack the helpless Thor. He does not have strength enough to protect himself, let alone fight back. Finally Thor calls out to his father Odin. In Asgard, the stolen Mystic Crystal has final been duplicated and Odin is able to see what is happening on earth. Seeing how valiantly Thor has battled without his powers, Odin decides that he has learned humility, and grants him back his Asgardian powers. As the battle, the Destroyer grabs Thor's hammer and is about to strike him within, when suddenly the hammer begins to writhe, and breaks from the Destroyer's grip. Thor realizes that its enchantment has returned and that his own powers have been restored. He then throws the hammer, striking the Destroyer with enough power to knock him backwards. In response, the Destroyer begins to activate its most deadly weapon. Sif, from within, struggles, but is unable to prevent the armor from lowering the visor which activates its disintegration beam. Back in the Land of Norns, the attacker is revealed to be the Ulik the troll, who is leading the other trolls of Norns in rebellion against Karnilla. Reluctantly, Karnilla frees Balder to defend her against Ulik. They draw weapons and prepare for battle. While on earth, the Destroyer has trapped Thor in a dead end alley where he has no escape for the armor's deadly visor.
