Stellaris grabs Nobilus and makes her own exit through the side of the ship. After some hasty repairs to the ship, Thor, Hercules, Juvan, and the Analyzer go to the location of the Red Celestial. The Celestial is creating a new set of armor.

Hercules is trapped, once again within the structure that originally contained him after the Evolutionary War. Thor strikes at the container and the Celestial fires a blast at Thor that leaves Thor, and a now separated Eric Masterson knocked out on the ground.

Count Tagar returns from his dip in the Genetic Pool.

The story on Earth:  Sif, Leir, and Caber arrive in their search for Thor. The return of Thor is the last condition for Sif to marry Leir.  They go to Eric Masterson's apartment.

Notes:
Thor & Nobilus - Evenly matched physically, but Thor is smarter, and has Mjolnir. The High Evolutionary shows emotions for his New Immortals. Leir doesn't have a clue about modern day manners. Have you ever wanted to see the entire host of Celestials?

Story #2 (If Defeat Should Come ...)
All the warriors of Asgard are roused to fight against Ymir, this includes a stunning array of high-tech weaponry, all prove futile.

Odin finally releases the Grand Vizier to reveal his 'true purpose and visage'

Notes:
Shake your belief of Asgard and Technology, they have a bunch of that, just never use it. This story is told mostly from the perspective of a young warrior named Arko, who left a pregnant wife in Asgard.  And what of Odin?
