Asgard

Thor threw Mjolnir as soon as they appeared in the Observatory colliding with Heimdall's chest sending the gatekeeper through the entrance of the Observatory and out onto the Bifrost Bridge. Heimdall pulled himself back up as Thor followed and called Mjolnir back to him "Why did you do that?" Thor shouted as he approached Heimdall.

"It's too dangerous. We don't know enough" replied Heimdall as he did not try to create any sort of defense.

Thor was fast approaching as Loki moved himself between Heimdall and the soon to be king of Asgard. "Calm down Thor, Heimdall is not your enemy" explained Loki as Thor came within a few feet of Heimdall as Loki put a hand on Thor's chest. Thor raised Mjolnir and Loki called what magic he could and leveled it into Thor's chest sending him skidding back towards the Observatory.

Thor pulled himself up off the ground and looked at Loki standing between him and Heimdall who was watching carefully. "Thor, please listen to me. We do not have time for this…Mangog is back and is probably going to start making its way across the Nine Realms and take millions with it" explained Loki as Thor seemed to start listening.

Thor dropped Mjolnir and dropped to his knees "He died for nothing" Thor muttered as Loki made his way to his brother and put his hand on his brother's shoulder.

"If Odin couldn't stop Mangog then we will" Loki said prompting Thor to look up and nod.

Thor stood and walked to Heimdall "I'm sorry my friend, I shouldn't have attacked you" he said as Heimdall grabbed his shoulder.

"I understand, but we need to focus on handling Mangog" replied Heimdall.

Thor moved past Heimdall "Gather Sif and the Warriors Three and meet us in the Throne Room. We have to figure out our next move" ordered Thor the three made their way to the city.

Jane's Room

Jane finished packing her bag and was soon joined by Darcy who had done the same "Well, so much for an awesome trip to Asgard" chuckled Darcy as she stood next to Jane who looked her things over to make sure she had everything.

Jane put on a fake smile, "Maybe it's a good thing, things have gotten a lot more complicated since we came here."

"What do you mean?" asked Darcy as she took a seat on Jane's bed.

Jane sighed and turned around and began to pace in front of Darcy "When Thor was on Earth with me…people died. I don't know if I can get past that. If him being with me leaves other people in danger, how do we even try and make that work?"

Darcy sighed, she was unsure how to give her friend advice. Darcy herself had very poor luck with men and here Jane was dating the God of Thunder and his responsibilities to the universe had finally come up in a big way. "Hey, just give it time…you two will find a way. Just focus on each other" Darcy explained hoping that would help calm Jane.

Jane shook her head "I would like to think we could but I just can't stop thinking about the people who died."

A guard entered the room "I'm sorry, but the creature survived on Alfheim and Asgard is on high alert."

Jane and Darcy looked at each other "We should probably find Thor" said Darcy prompting a stern nod from Jane.

Throne Room

Thor still couldn't bring himself to sit on the throne, Loki was watching from the bottom of the stairs that led up to the seat of power. "It's your chair now you know" remarked Loki as they waited for Sif and the others to join them.

Thor shook his head "Not my chair" replied Thor as Frigga entered the room. "Mother, what are you doing here?" asked Thor making his way to meet her halfway across the room.

"The monster lives?" asked Frigga her eyes still puffy from the tears she had shed in her room. Thor nodded sadly "Well, it needs to be dealt with before more lives are lost" she said as Heimdall, Sif, and the Warriors Three entered the Throne Room.

"If the monster lives then we have to look to fortify the borders of Asgard to ensure it never reaches here" stated Sif.

Thor looked as she spoke and nodded "Yes, but we more importantly need a way to destroy it. How did it come back?"

"It showed the ability to heal itself during our battle" informed Hogun as they all gathered closer to the throne.

"But bringing itself back from literal total destruction would make Mangog immortal" stated Loki.

"Not immortal just damn hard to kill "came the old shrill voice of Volla. "If Mangog heals itself it must because of the souls within weren't all destroyed. If Mangog is truly to be defeated Thor must generate an attack strong enough to take every last soul in Mangog to Valhalla."

"How can Thor generate that much power? Mangog blew itself up and still managed to bring itself back" remarked Volstagg getting looks from everyone. Volstagg shrugged as everyone began to think.

"The Odin force" stated Frigga getting inquisitive looks from everyone and a nod from Heimdall. "Odin used the Odin force on many occasions to win battles and it's what helped him and the others defeat Kronos all those centuries ago."

"It could work" remarked Heimdall.

"But Odin is…gone" stated Fandral "Without him and the Odin force then we are lost."

"No, the Odin force is just what Odin called it. The power has been passed down from father to children since the beginning of time. Odin had it and his children do too, Thor must use that power and destroy Mangog" explained Volla staring directly at Thor.

"I've never even attempted to tap into something like Odin force, there is no time to teach myself to use it" reasoned Thor.

"Accessing the Odin force should be doable for you, but its unknown how Odin himself ever did it. You need to learn as much as you can about Odin tapping into the Odin force and do the exact same thing" explained Volla as she turned to Frigga and took the Queen's hand.

Thor looked to Heimdall "Did my father ever mention it to you?" he asked getting a no from Heimdall.

"Odin was one of the oldest beings on Asgard, very few would have been around to see Odin take the throne and even fewer if any would know how Odin began using the Odin force" explained Volla. "I was there when he took the throne from his father but he never even considered telling me of the Odin force."

"There is someone who would know" stated Heimdall as Thor turned to look at him. Heimdall looked stern "You will not like where this is going" he remarked getting a now worried look on Thor's face. "Hela, she would have been here not only when Odin took power but she is also family she would know how the Odin force worked."

"No" responded Sif with quick agreeing nods from the Warriors Three. "She is too dangerous to be trusted and she is probably involved somehow given that she is in the Goddess of Death" she reasoned getting a nod from Thor.

Thor looked to Loki sitting on the stairs leading to the throne, he had not spoken since the others had arrived and was clearly avoiding looking at their mother. "What do you think?" Thor asked getting Loki's attention.

Loki looked around the room to find a mixture of distrust and disdain as he thought about their options. "Thor lacks the power to defeat Mangog and lacks the knowledge necessary to attain it…if Hela is our best option to get the power to defeat Mangog then we need to at least try" he explained standing to look his brother in the eye.

Thor nodded as he weighed the options "Sif, you and the others get to the library and see what you can find about the Odin force. Heimdall get to the observatory" he ordered as he approached Loki. "We are going to Niffleheim."
