Description
Continuing the story from last issue, battles Mister Hyde and the Cobra who have him and a mortally wounded Jane Foster trapped. Thor's time is running out as he cannot maintain the Time Warp that he created to prolong Foster's life, and he must defeat the two foes who have had their strength doubled by Loki. Thor manages to escape from his two foes with the unconscious Foster, and breaking through the many traps in the house until he finds a safe place to keep Jane's body until he can defeat his foes. Meanwhile, the whole display is being watched by Odin, who feels that he should not interfere. Balder, hearing this offers to play a ballad for the troubled Odin, and sings a song about Odin's own rebellious youth and a forbidden romance, the song is stopped by Loki. Back on Earth, Thor finds Mister Hyde and the Cobra and battles them again, during the battle, Thor redirects some of the Cobra's poison pellets at him causing him to seek refuge in the air ducts, and smashes Mister Hyde through a wall. While in Asgard, Odin is moved enough by Thor's battle to get involved and instructs Loki to go see Hardol the Healer who can create a potion that would cure Jane Foster. Knowing that Loki will not do this, the warriors of Asgard stop him and Balder takes Odin's written request and travels to find Hardol. On his way he travels across the Swamps of Endless Flame and is confronted by the Phantom of Asgard. Returning to Earth, we find Mister Hyde and Thor still duking it out, Thor manages to push Mister Hyde into one of his own traps, a ray-beam that knocks Hyde out. Thor then sends an electrical surge through the house causing the Cobra to be shocked out of the vents and weakened enough for Thor to tie him up. Thor then returns to Jane's unconscious body knowing that he cannot maintain the Time Warp and laments over his situation. Meanwhile back in Asgard, Balder manages to destroy the Phantom with his sword, travel across Forest of the Eternal Nightmare Plants, Crosses the Valley of Swords and survives the Valley of Avalanches to finally get to the home of Hardol the Healer and give him Odin's request for a potion. On Earth, Thor finally decides to face the impending death of his love and dissipates the Time Warp. At that moment Balder's sword falls from the sky and lands in the room with the potion for Jane attached. Thor gives the potion to her curing her of her fatal injuries. Balder's sword then returns to it's owner. With Jane healed and revived, Thor thanks Odin for his aid and carried the sleeping girl away from the house.
