Svartalfheim

Mangog opened its eyes as the dust of the barren wastes of Svartalfheim clanked off its sleek armor shell. Mangog laughed as it turned to find Thor waiting for his Asgardian allies. "This is the best you can muster?" it said as it took a few steps toward the group. It spotted Sif, the Warriors Three, Loki and the surprising addition of Frigga behind Thor. "The Queen of Asgard" it stated as it bowed "Or should I say the former Queen of Asgard."

Frigga drew her sword but Thor's left hand arose hoping to calm her as Mangog laughed "We are here to finish this" stated Thor as Mjolnir was in his right hand ready to fight.

Mangog stood to his full height "Smart move…move the fight to Svartalfheim and use it as an insurance policy for when you fail. Heimdall probably believes that the planet could explode at any moment. I'm afraid that Heimdall has never been good at predicting these things, Odin is telling me right now about how Heimdall once spent several months watching a star die and explode while muttering any time now the entire time." Mangog picked up some sand from the planet's surface and let it blow from its hand "I wager we have several days if not a week or two before this planet burns. Besides Odin knows plenty of ways off of this wasteland, so I hope you like this planet because you're going to die on it!"

Thor launched himself at Mangog while he yelled and delivered a clean blow to the chin of the monster sending it flying through the air. Mangog landed with a thud and rolled back to its feet in a single motion, Thor used Mjolnir to call a lightning blast that erupted through Mangog who took the blow while sending a dark energy blast from its right hand that caught Thor in the chest sending him skidding across the landscape.

Mangog shrugged off Thor's attack and braced itself when Sif and the Warriors Three charged. The four warriors had learned somethings from the battle on Alfheim and had used different tactics with the simultaneous attacks keeping Mangog distracted from the real threat as Thor returned and used Mjolnir to land a blow to Mangog's face. Thor threw Mjolnir at Mangog and landed several blows as the hammer returned to Thor's and was thrown back several more times.

Sif landed an impaling blow that in most circumstances would have ended the fight but instead Mangog spun while she held onto the handle of her sword pulling her feet into the air. Mangog used Sif's legs to get some breathing room as it unleashed dark energy on the ground knocking the Warriors Three back and sending Sif flying.

Thor stood alone in front of the beast when a green magic blast struck Mangog from behind "Always hiding in the shadows" it yelled as it returned fire at Loki who rolled just out of harm's way as Thor leapt into the air and brought Mjolnir down on the back of Mangog's head causing it to break and dangle off of the Mangog's new sleek frame.

Thor began to reach inside himself hoping to find the strength necessary to deliver the killing blow when Mangog's armor began to repair itself and Mangog quickly used both of its hands to send energy into Thor and send him into a mountain. Mangog pulled itself up and cracked its neck when a dagger drove itself into Mangog's back.

Mangog sighed in frustration and turned to find the God of Mischief standing in the dusty sand ready to fight. Loki looked around and could see that the Warriors Three were still pulling themselves up and he had left his mother behind when he joined the attack on Mangog. The blackened sun of Svartalfheim created a dull light around the two combatants, Mangog used its left hand to unleash enough energy to knock the Warriors Three back down and slowly began to approach Loki. "Oh, how important you really are…If I had managed to get my hands on you on Alfheim things would have been so different. Instead, you running brought about a fairly swift end to the majority of elves with whom you share blood…so if you combine this with your attack against the Frost Giants, you've now had a hand in loss of life for both sides of your parentage" gloated Mangog as Loki began firing multiple energy blasts at Mangog who simply took the attacks as they lacked any of the power he had shown on Alfheim.

Mangog laughed as Loki attacked "You truly are weak, here I am not even bothering to defend myself and you still can't hurt me" it yelled at Loki who stopped attacking. "Realizing the futility of fighting?" it yelled out to Loki who relaxed as Mangog looked on.

"Actually, I just don't need to distract you anymore" Loki said as Mangog turned to find Thor bearing down on him as the God of Thunder landed a massive lighting based hammer strike in the center of Mangog's chest leaving a giant gaping hole.

The explosion from Thor's attack and leveled both Mangog and Thor and the wave of energy released by the attack had even sent Loki for a loop. Thor was starting to pull himself back up when Mangog moved with lightning speed and got to its feet and bombarded Thor with enough dark energy that Thor was quickly overwhelmed.

Thor was trying to use Mjolnir to deflect as much of the attack as he could but Mangog was focused now and soon Thor felt his legs begin to give as he soon dropped to a knee and then was flat on his back trying to hold off the assault. Using as much of its power as it could, Mangog's body had yet to heal itself and Thor knew that this was going to be the only chance he would have to land a blow strong enough to finish Mangog once and for all.

Mangog began to laugh when suddenly out of nowhere a sword pierced Mangog's face right in the cheek. Before Mangog could figure out what was happening the weight of the sword shifted and ripped a hole in its face. Mangog looked down to find Frigga armed and ready as she moved quicker than her frame would suggest she could move as she landed several slashes and stabs that ripped holes across Mangog's body. Mangog yelled in rage as it swung wildly hoping to land a blow to the Queen of Asgard as she moved, but her speed proved superior.

Thor stood up and looked over the situation, he focused his mind and channeled his power into Mjolnir, "it was now or never" he thought to himself.

Frigga jumped and Mangog caught her in midair at her neck, the blows she had dealt had left Mangog in a sorry state, "Well done, but I'm afraid that it was all for nothing. I'll heal in a few moments but first…I think I'll snap you in two" it announced as suddenly it heard the crack of lightning.

Mangog turned and Thor fired the largest lightning blast he had ever unleashed into the open chest of Mangog whom the blow quickly ripped through and spread soul to soul within its armored body. Mangog dropped Frigga who quickly rolled to safety as the attack continued. Mangog yelled in pain as the attack rippled through its body suddenly felt the armor give, "NOOOO!" it shouted as the armored body of Mangog exploded creating a massive shockwave that spread for several miles that knocked both Thor and Frigga to the ground.
