*Insert disclaimer here*

Chapter 12: A King, A Prince and A Princess

Zeus, while not among the patron deities revered by the Amazon nation, was still the King of the Pantheon of Olympus, and therefore, he essentially demanded the same-no, he demanded more adoration and worship that Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite or even Hera, Queen of the Gods. It was because of him that all things existed in this world, and for that, he was to be held with reverence at all times. And even if he wasn't on Themyscera, the other gods present also expected the same, albeit not on the same level Zeus received…except Hera.

As such, at the sight of a good number of the Olympian gods standing before them, gracing Themyscera with their presence, the entire island population gave them that exact reverence. Even the queen and the princess/champion gave them the worship they deserved. Yes, everyone on the island bowed before the Pantheon to pay their respect and worship.

Everyone…except one.

"What is this?" Thor asked with authority and command, as such fit for an Asgardian God. That did not sit well with the Olympians, especially Zeus. "Why do you all bow before these beings?"

"We are their gods, pretender," Hera replied with loathing contempt. 'So this is the god from another realm,' she thought to herself.

"Our Queen speaks truth, man," Artemis replied, her bow at the ready, an arrow prepared to strike down this man-god who dared to walk on Themyscera. "We are the Gods of Olympus, the ones the Amazons bow to."

"I am the King of the Gods," Zeus said with regality and demanding authority, as was fitting for him. "I am Zeus, warrior, and the reason I and my brethren appear is because-"

"Hold thy tongue," Thor interrupted as he recognized the name. At that, the other Olympian gods looked flabbergasted from Thor to Zeus and back; did this man-god just interrupt he who gave form and life to this planet. Zeus himself was trying to hold his anger back and keep himself from smiting this warrior or god or whatever he was on the spot.

"You are Zeus, the one who gave Queen Hippolyta the duty to guard the gates of Tartarus?"

"Yes indeed," Zeus responded, surprised by the question. "But that-"

"The very same Zeus who, along with these other…gods…have promised to protect not just this world, but the Amazons especially?"

"Yes, but-"

"And who gave thy word that your Champion, Diana of Themyscera, would always have your blessings and strength, and who would appear and aid her when she called thy name?"

"…Yes."

"Well then…"

FRAKABOOM!

EVERYONE was shocked at what they had just seen.

Thor had attacked Zeus, King of the Greek Gods of Olympus, and hit him with Mjolnir, AND had sent him flying. Thor then stood up straight again, and cracked his neck, acting as if this was nothing for him.

"What kind of god doesn't come when he is needed?" Thor mumbled to himself. Unfortunately, his question wasn't answered in a way he wanted.

"YOU DARE STRIKE THE LORD OF OLYMPUS!?" Artemis roared as she fired her arrow, intent on killing the Asgardian-but the arrow did nothing as Thor grabbed it as it was inches from his face, shocking the Goddess of the Hunt.

"Yes," Thor snarled as the thunder in the heavens started crackling again. "I do."

"Enough of this!" Athena cried as she drew her blade out and charged at Thor. "DEATH!"

"HAVE AT THEE!" Thor roared in return as he wielded Mjolnir against Athena's blade.

By now, the Amazons had gotten up from bowing to their gods, and now were staring flabbergasted as the warrior who claimed to be a god & saved them from one now did battle with a full pantheon's might. Hippolyta could only imagine what insanity Thor possessed to drive him to do battle with the power of Olympus.

Diana, however, sensed immediately why Thor did such a thing by the words he said before he struck Zeus: he and the rest of Olympus had sworn to always come to the aid of the Amazons in times of trial and need, and being their Champion, she was guaranteed their aid if she called upon any of their names if she had need. Up to now, she never had the need, but she never faced Hades before. She had called on her gods, but they didn't answer; she was answered and aided, instead, by a god of a completely different faith and kind. Yes, Diana now fully believed Thor's story-he was a god, just not of Olympus; he was a god of the Norse people. His story of coming from an alternate Earth made more sense now with that. But the point was…Thor believed that a god was supposed to come when their worshippers and followers called, and Olympus didn't.

"My gods," she cried out as she came forward, trying to get their attention. Right now, Thor was taking on Apollo and Poseidon with brute strength. "Please, hear my words-Thor means not to harm you, he is just upset that-"

"He threatens our power, Diana!" Hera cried as she made to fire a blast of godly magic energy. "He must be dealt with!"

"I MUST BE DEALT WITH?!" Thor roared in anger as he escaped Apollo's grasp and threw him into Poseidon. "What needed to be dealt with is already dealt with, no thanks on your part!"

"Be calm, god-like warrior!" Aphrodite cried as she waved her hands at the Asgardian; instantly, a fog engulfed Thor's mind, and all he could focus on was the lust-enticing figure of the Goddess of Love and Beauty, wanting only to please her in hopes of bedding her, to worship…no…not again…he would not fall prey to another attempt to manipulate him.

"Something's wrong," Aphrodite said in shock as she felt herself losing control of Thor's heart and mind. "He's resisting my call!"

"How can he!?" Hermes asked in shock. "You are-"

"GET OUT OF MY MIND!" Thor roared as he flung Mjolnir directly at the Goddess of Love and Beauty, sending her flying into a nearby marble statue. "I will not fall under enchantment again! Not after what the Enchantress forced me to succumb to her the last time!"

"Please-Thor! Olympus!" Diana cried as she tried to stop the battle. "You must-"

"You DARE strike me?!" Aphrodite roared as she got up, half in tears, but also in seething anger.

"I shall put you in your place-" Hera began as she, Hypnos and Morpheus prepared to attack-

"NO, MY QUEEN," a thundering voice boomed as the skies came alive with the sounds of thunder again, but this time, much more powerfully. Immediately, Zeus returned, this time with two massive lightning bolts in his hands. At the sight, the other Greek gods stepped back, while Hippolyta and the Amazons retreated to a safe distance in fear and terror of what they were about to see. Diana stared in horror, rooted to the spot, while Thor simply stood there, standing ground and defiant.

"I WILL TEACH THIS PRETENDER THE ERROR OF HIS WAYS!" Zeus cried as he flung the lightning bolts at the Asgardian, enticing a gargantuan explosion and eruption, echoing for miles around. "NONE STRIKE ZEUS AND NONE CHALLENGE OLYMPUS! SO DECREES ZEUS, KING OF OLYMPUS!"

"NO!" Diana cried as she stared in horror at where Thor stood before the Olympian had smote him. "My Lord, Thor saved Themyscera and the world before you had arrived! Hades-"

"He was a threat, my Champion," Zeus immediately retorted. "Diana of Themyscera, I do not know what lies he has deceived you with but I assure-"

"ZEUS!"

All eyes turned in shock and wondrous awe as Thor came out of the billowing tower of smoke where Zeus had struck him.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" the Olympian roared as his hands began crackling in electrical godly magic energy. "How did you-?!"

"You make to strike me down," Thor roared as the electrical currents danced around his body, giving him even more strength, "with LIGHTNING BOLTS?!" With a roar, he aimed Mjolnir at Zeus and fired celestial lightning blasts at him. "I AM THOR ODINSON, GOD OF THUNDER!"

"Oh boy, this isn't good," Diana muttered as she face palmed, unsure of what to do. "Of all the men that could be fighting right now, it had to be the most egotistic of gods…"

"I WILL SMITE YOU WHERE YOU STAND, PRETENDER AND BLASPHEMER!" Zeus cried as he made to land a fist of devastating magic energy, only for it to miss as Thor flew upwards directly at the Olympian, hammer in hand alive with electricity, unadulterated fury in his eyes.

"I-" Thor roared as he slammed Mjolnir into Zeus' jaw "-SAY-" he landed a devastating uppercut to the Olympian's jaw "-THEE-" a lightning bolt came from the heavens and consumed Zeus as Thor went behind him "-NAY!" The Asgardian slammed Mjolnir directly onto the back of Zeus' head, the impact echoing as a flurry of lightning bolts decorated the heavens, the Olympian plummeting into the ground with a resonating impact.

"So says Thor, Prince of Asgard," Thor finished as he landed a few meters away from where Zeus was getting up; he could clearly see that this King of Gods was not an easy opponent.

"Your word holds no authority, man-god," came the voice of Artemis as the full Olympian Pantheon surrounded the Asgardian, their weapons and magic blasts at the ready to attack.

"It matters not if you are a god from another realm," Hera said icily. "You threaten our power, and therefore must be eliminated."

"As is the will of Olympus," Zeus added as he got up and prepared to attack.

A coalition of godlike entities surrounding him, intent on killing him, and no allies to come to his aid? Thor hadn't had this kind of excitement in years.

"In the words of the Wolverine," Thor smirked as h readied himself for the coming battle, "come at me."

But just as they were about to engage in a battle royale…

"No, my gods," Wonder Woman defiantly stated as she flew in front of Thor, one arm holding her blade while the other directed at Hera in a stopping notion. "I cannot allow you to harm he who saved not only Themyscera and the Amazons, but the entirety of Man's World."

That caught the attention of the Olympians rather easily. "What do you mean, Diana?" Hera asked with surprise.

"Hera, Hades had broken out of Tartarus not two hours ago," Diana replied. The effect was immediate; instantly every single one of the gods made cries of surprise and shock, the one most surprised being Zeus himself.

"How did this happen?!" he asked.

"When Thor arrived on Themyscera, we Amazons refused to hear his tales and his petitions for help in returning to his own world, simply attacking him. The battle between him and me greatly devastated the island, weakening the bounds on the gates to the Underworld, allowing some of Hades' demons to possess the gate guard. They tricked the rest of us and opened the gates completely, and we were overrun by Hades' hordes while I was forced to fight Hades himself. It was only by the aid and might of Thor that we were able to overcome the God of the Underworld and reseal the gates to Tartarus. Our people, our world…even you owe him a great debt of gratitude, for if Hades wasn't defeated, he had sworn to ravage Olympus itself once he was finished with Earth."

At their champion's words, the Greek Gods were flabbergasted, looking from her to Thor and back again, unable to believe such a tale.

"Is this true, Hippolyta?" Zeus asked, turning to the Queen of the Amazons, who came forward.

"Yes, my Lord," she replied with confidence. "You can, no doubt, smell the sulfur and brimstone that signals the presence of demons and the creatures of Hades. Thor rallied our armies with techniques we have never seen before that allowed us to push back the hordes and confront Hades head on. With Thor by her side, Diana was able to defeat Hades, and together they resealed Tartarus' gates. Hades was soundly beaten by Thor."

At her words, Zeus turned and slowly walked over to Thor; the Asgardian would've tensed if he hadn't sensed that the Olympian had no intention of harming him this time.

"And what is your purpose here on our world?"

"I just seek a way to return to my world," Thor replied honestly. "My hammer can sense magical boundaries that will help me return, and it sense one here on this island. That is why I came here in the first place."

"So you have no intention of usurping Olympus?" Zeus asked.

"Asgard is my home, Zeus," Thor replied with a small smile. "Your gods hold no ill will by me."

At that Zeus smiled. "Very well, god of another world; as decreed by Mount Olympus, the Pantheon gives you many thanks for your effort in defeating Lord Hades and keeping this world safe once more. We are in your debt." The Pantheon bowed to show their gratitude, and being raised by Odin, Thor returned the bow. When he looked up, the Greek Gods disappeared in a blaze of light and smoke.

"Well, that went better than expected," Diana said with a sigh of relief, glad that the confrontation was over. "I was sure Hera and Aphrodite would've killed you on the spot."

"It is not an easy or recommendable task to kill an Asgardian, Wonder Woman," Thor smirked. "Now…I must ask, will there be a feast in celebration of our victory?"
