Chapter 93: The Awakening of Thor
Hogun and Fandral immediately tried to escape, but the Destroyer grabbed them one in each hand and slammed them forcefully onto the ground. The Destroyer lifted its right foot, ready to crush Fandral.
"Watch out!"
Good Thor quickly ran onto the battlefield, picked up Volstagg's dropped shield, and hurled it at the Destroyer's head.
Clang!
The Destroyer's head tilted slightly, its foot paused, and it looked up at Thor.
"Dear Loki, please stop playing these tricks, okay? We are brothers." Good Thor shouted towards the sky. He believed his good brother would never truly hurt him.
The Destroyer paused, then turned to leave.
Good Thor smiled. Loki was still so fond of pranks.
Unexpectedly, disaster struck. The Destroyer turned and threw a punch.
"Thor!" Jane screamed.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, another man identical to Thor rushed out from the side, saving Good Thor from the Destroyer's punch.
"What is going on..." Everyone was astonished to see two Thors.
"My good brother, I knew you wouldn't give up on me," Good Thor said, hugging Evil Thor around the waist.
Evil Thor pulled Good Thor's arms away and yelled towards the sky, "Loki! I know you can see this! Get down here right now, or if I return to Asgard, I will beat your butt black and blue!"
Last night, he returned to the hammer's location but was captured by those people again, though Coulson later released him. Evil Thor realized that he couldn't do this alone; he needed the help of this useless Good Thor. He hadn't expected this situation to be unfolding right as he returned.
"Quickly, summon the hammer. I'll hold him off," Evil Thor told Good Thor.
Good Thor waved his hand. "No, I can't. We were banished by Father, and we no longer possess the power of Thor."
"You idiot! We are the God of Thunder, not the God of Hammers! Furthermore, you possess the heart of an absolute saint; the hammer must be able to sense you!"
Evil Thor stopped talking, picked up Fandral's long blade nearby, and yelled at the Destroyer, "Let's see how tough your tin can really is!"
With that, Evil Thor leaped towards the Destroyer. The Destroyer twisted its body and punched at Evil Thor.
Bang!
The Destroyer smashed a car, and Evil Thor glanced back, taunting, "Is that all the strength you have?!"
Asgard
"Two Thors! Why is this happening?" Loki was completely bewildered. Where did the two Thors come from?
Midgard
Good Thor closed his eyes, sensing the hammer. The hammer, not far away, seemed to sense the summons and began to tremble.
"What's going on?" Barton said, arriving near the hammer with his bow.
Suddenly! Whoosh! Mjölnir flew toward the sky.
"Oh my god," Barton exclaimed.
In the Town
Good Thor's body began to glow with electricity. His armor slowly materialized over him. Bang! Good Thor extended his right hand and caught the flying Mjölnir, shouting, "I am Thor, the God of Thunder!"
Boom! Evil Thor was punched by the Destroyer and slammed down at Good Thor's feet.
"Are you alright?" Good Thor asked, helping Evil Thor up.
Evil Thor's chest heaved. He pushed Good Thor's hand away and looked darkly at the Destroyer. "You really have angered me."
Zzzzzz...
Lightning began to flicker over Evil Thor's body as well, and his ragged clothes were covered by a layer of silvery armor.
"Oh my heavens, two Thors." Sif's mind was completely chaotic now. She had thought the Thor who summoned Mjölnir must be the real one, but how did the other Thor also possess the power of thunder?
The dark clouds above began to cover the sky, carrying booming thunder within them.
Evil Thor could not wait any longer. He leaped up, stomping the ground, and swung his lightning-infused fist at the Destroyer's head.
The Destroyer was unwilling to back down, raising its own fist to clash with Evil Thor's in mid-air.
Boom! Boom!
The Destroyer was no match for Evil Thor's punch. It was struck and sent flying, crashing into a house.
"Shouldn't we stop this? It might not be right," Good Thor asked, standing next to Evil Thor with Mjölnir in hand.
Evil Thor sneered. "Treat him exactly how he treated you. That's fair." He had been severely beaten by the Destroyer moments ago; if he hadn't activated the power of Thor within him, the Destroyer would have killed him. Now that he had the power of Thor, he would conquer the Nine Realms and the entire universe!
"Heimdall! I, the Son of Odin, command you to immediately open the Bifrost! Asgard shall welcome their new King." Evil Thor shouted.
On the Other Side
The Talisman Squad of Shadowkhan ninjas finally found their target behind a rock: Sasha the white tiger. The captain put away the Talisman locator, led everyone out of the helicopter, and flew in front of Sasha using their gliders.
Sasha started to panic and run when she saw the suddenly appearing men in black, but the Shadowkhan were prepared. They pulled out the magical rope Silas had prepared, looped it around Sasha's neck, and pulled her into the Shadow Realm. This magical rope was specifically designed for Sasha's abilities and could block the power of the Tiger Talisman on her.
In the Shadow Realm
Silas sat in a chair with his legs crossed. The Ninja Talisman Squad brought Sasha before him.
"The Yin-Yang balance of the Tiger." Silas was highly expectant. He could feel that the power of the Talismans within him was becoming difficult to control. Initially, with just the Pig Talisman, control was effortless. Later, with the addition of the Snake Talisman, it wasn't as easy.
Silas walked up to Sasha, focusing his eyes on hers. Then, a stream of blue Tiger Talisman energy entered his body. With the entry of the Tiger Talisman, Silas suddenly felt his body become much lighter. The power of the other two Talismans now felt like his own hands and feet; the sense of restriction was gone.
"Psychological and energetic balance." Silas's mask appeared on his face. He now had a task to carry out.
The Town
Evil Thor was furious that Heimdall hadn't reacted after all that time, so he hammered the Destroyer, which was lying on the ground, some more.
"I think that's enough. The Destroyer is scrap metal now," Good Thor said, feeling pity. The Destroyer had protected Asgard for a long time; completely destroying it didn't seem right.
Evil Thor grabbed Good Thor by the collar. "If that's how it is, then I'll hit you."
With that, Evil Thor punched Good Thor's right cheek. Good Thor quickly raised Mjölnir to block. Clang! Good Thor blocked Evil Thor's punch.
"Fighting is wrong. Can't we talk this out peacefully?" Good Thor said with an awkward smile.
"I refuse!"
