Present Day // Nidavellir
The ship careered through space towards Thor, he merely stayed his place a safe distance from the Dwarven World. A sentry against an impending threat. Confusion coursed through him as the vessel got closer, he could see smoke billowing out into the dark void of space, a tear down the side of the ship as if someone had tried to gut it like an animal. He raised his hand as he deemed the vessel to be close enough, using the power granted to him through Odin and the All-speak his voice pierced the void where no sound should be possible.
"HALT! In the name of Odin, Asgard and the Dwarves of Nidavellir. You are permitted to go no further, turn around now or I shall turn you around through force."A slight grin crossed his face as the vessel did not stop, and instead continued to push on towards the planet.
"Have it be known, that you were warned, fiend!" Thor directed Mjolnir towards the ship, having it pull him towards the ship. One of the objects on the bow of the ship turned, three cylinders pointed straight towards him. A red glow emanating from within before a beam of red energy lanced forth, Thor considered it a threat too late as it collided with him. Sending him spinning back in space, an explosion coming from where he flew. Grunting through the pain.
"By Odin! What form of sorcery is this?" As two more shots lanced out he spun Mjolnir out before him, lightning coursing through the hammer and arching out into space intercepting the beams of red light.
Concentrating on the might of electricity, against all odds and known sciences there was a crack of thunder in the void as Mjolnir lit up with electrical energy as a powerful bolt of lightning lanced towards the part of the ship that had fired at him. The ship crackled as the energy spread through the hull, whatever protective plating it had trying to absorb and redirect the energy as it would conventional attacks, however it soon reached its limit as the turret buckled under the pressure and exploded. Leaving a gaping hole in the ship. Moving swiftly through the void to close the distance between himself and the vessel he planted his feet on the metallic hull. Walking along with it before jumping into the hole, the hallway was illuminated blood red. He held Mjolnir loose in his hand, ready to cast it towards anyone who stood against him or swing it into the skull of anyone who believed themselves capable of surprising him with a sneak attack.
Thor reached a door, slamming Mjolnir into it the door caved and he walked through the gap. He dropped Mjolnir on the floor. All around the room, there were bodies. Not just men, but women and children. Someone had already attacked this vessel and killed everyone aboard. There was no honor in this, whoever had attacked this vessel had been a beast. He continued to walk deeper, hammer forgotten. Pods lay into the side of the vessel, the bodies spilling from them as if insects from a cacoon. Some were cut directly in two, while others were gouged and some even appeared to be mauled by large fists. There was a chill in the air as he continued to push deeper, a sense of dread filling the pit of his stomach. He would slay whatever beast had done this. On that he would give his word, this threat would not strike again.
He heard ragged breathing and could see the shadow of someone at the end of the long hall.
"Hail! Be you friend or be you foe? Are you a survivor or the one responsible for such destruction?"Thor heard the being speak in a hoarse low tone as if struggling to grasp the words from his throat.
"I'll kill you Demon!"Thor walked forward cautiously, not sure what the being had said. Wading forward carefully he held his hands out in a gesture that he was not armed. Realizing that he had left Mjolnir behind, though knowing that he could call it in a moment's notice. Suddenly
the beast ran forward into the light, screaming.
"DEMON! Arms raised aiming for Thor's throat, Thor put one hand behind him, open.
"MJOLNIR! TO ME!" Thor could feel the hammer coming towards him, however, it was not quick enough as the beast collided with him. Moving at speeds he did not expect off a mortal being. As the two went tumbling to the ground he heard as Mjolnir flew uselessly above his head, not finding his hand and instead of landing nearby. Still falling Thor allowed himself to fall into it, pulling his knees towards his chest he placed his feet on the stomach of his attacker and pushed as he rolled backward. Kicking his attacker off him and away past his head. It was as he pushed his foe into greater light that Thor noticed the similarity this beast had to the fallen. Was it some aberration that hated its own people? Or some form of a warrior to protect?
"Stay your hands foul beast! I am no Demon, but instead-"Thor's words were cut off as the beast lunged at him, Thor ducked under the grapple only to meet one of the beings fists. Being knocked back Thor rolled with it. Coming back around, grabbing one of the beings fists out of the air stopping the punch from landing. Then grabbing the other. The two became locked, grunting as each tried to gain ground.
"I am no Demon! Tell me what happened here-"The next thing he saw was the skull of his opponent come crashing towards him. He saw stars as the headbutt found purchase, throwing Thor back onto the ground.
"Your fellow Demon killed my people! All of them! I fought him but could not stop the slaughter. I vow that I will destroy you and your kind demon." Jumping forward Thor rolled onto his front and outstretched his hand again for Mjolnir, the hammer raising from the ground and coming towards his hand. The beast jumped onto his back and slammed both his hands down onto Thor's head, his head slamming against the floor and yet he did not move. There was a crack of thunder as the hammer reached Thor's hand, spinning around the side of Mjolnir collided with the beasts head, sending him careening into a nearby wall as Thor followed through with the roll to stand on his feet.
"ENOUGH! Thor walked towards the beast that lay dazed.
"If you did not cause this death and destruction, you are not my enemy." Thor threw Mjolnir down between them as a sign of good faith. Trying to push across the message that they were not foes in this endeavor.
"If you are a victim in this, then you have my word I will find whoever is responsible. For that is why I am here, to eliminate a threat to all peoples of the nine realms. The beast stood up, unsteady on his feet as he eyed up Thor. Thor could still see the rage in his eyes, it was a rage he only knew too well. The rage of war. It was a rage he had seen in himself, and the ones he had fought many a time. There would be no reasoning with him, not yet.
The beast lunged for Mjolnir and Thor did not move, for only those Worthy could raise the mighty hammer. Pulling with two hands the hammer moved slightly, panic rising in the young Thunder God. However, as the hammer was raised past the beasts waist it was pulled back towards the ground, hitting it with a thud. The beast pulled and strained and yet Mjolnir did not move, even as the floor beneath the beast's feet began to cave.
"You have proved yourself a worthy warrior, even lifting Mjolnir as high as you did shows you are true of heart, and a worthy ally. I beseech you. Stop this pointless fight, if you are the victim here then tell me what you know and I shall bring the culprit to their knees in your name and the name of Asgard." He meant these words, and yet they seemed hollow as he said them. Here he stood among the dead, did he really care for them, or for the righteous conquest? The thirst for battle? Did he truly wish for this fight to end? Or did he want to beat this beast and prove himself stronger?
Thor walked forward, his hand outstretched.
"Come with me, come to Asgard. You will be safe there."The beast stood and walked towards him.
"All my people are dead-" He took hold of Thors hand, putting all his strength into it. The shock forcing the god to his knees.
"DECEIVER! He pulled Thor and threw him around, into a nearby pile of dead bodies. Bone cracked and crumpled by the force of his landing. Standing up again Thor locked eyes with the beast.
"I shall kill you and your ilk, or you shall send me to the afterlife to join my people. There are no other options. So says Beta-Ray Bill!
