Indomitable Marvel

With Thor back in the picture Mangog ignored Theoric, preferring to kill the Odin lookalike.

Mangog roared at Thor who was flying straight at him who was shooting a lightning bolt which he shrugged off as Thor plowed into him.

Theoric meanwhile now knew Grundor was still in the area after having his hiding spot blasted open. He looked around in a futile attempt to spot him before giving up and putting his attention back on the fight while putting on a skin layer shield and building another giant sword hoping to recreate his success at the depot, now against the creature.

Thor and Mangog battled it out with Thor coming up short, no matter how hard he hit or lightning he used to help, it wasn't enough against the creature that hit harder and faster than him.

Mangog in the illusion of fighting Odin was slowly regaining his lost strength much to the despair of Thor.

Thor was losing steam fast as he took the beatings dished out without being able to return any of his own.

Mangog now in full control, mercilessly beat Thor into the ground, punching him over and over again relentlessly.

Theoric finally ready with his giant sword was preparing to attack when Grundor appeared with a magical strike designed to disrupt his attempt. Theoric already planned for that though as he brought up a shield he had ready to go, blocking the sneak attack while sending out the giant sword to pierce the creature in the back.

Grundor turned gloomy seeing his attack fail, but he still had full confidence in Mangog, he only attacked because he thought he could get away with it.

Theoric gave everything he had to the giant sword as he sped it up while concentrating, making it go faster with every passing foot of ground.

The sword crashed into the back of Mangog that was still beating Thor, making him roll over a few times but relatively unharmed

Theoric turned gloomy while Grundor laughed happily while avoiding an energy sword that was shot at his exposed location.

Mangog letting out an angry roar turned around spotting Theoric who turned to see the monster glaring at him.

Theoric now feeling dismal had no clue what he could do to avoid his coming doom as he watched the creature start running towards him. He threw everything he had in that last attack, there was nothing more he could do.

Sweating with his mind running a mile a minute trying to come up with something, he finally decided his best bet was healing and bringing Thor back into the game.

The creature was ripping apart the ground with each step, now running on all 4's with his tail out flat to reduce drag he sped along far faster than Theoric was prepared for who was desperately trying to gather enough energy to save himself.

Right when the creature was just in front of him he formed a ramp in hopes of sending the creature over his head and away, but when it's heavy steps touched the ramp it cracked on the way up before shattering.

He then quickly ran to Thor knowing time was of the essence with the speed the creature showed earlier after running on all 4's.

Arriving at the pit Thor was punched into, all he could see was a bloody mess, knowing time was crucial he jumped in and started healing, hoping he would have enough energy left to help fight. He didn't skimp out though as he poured in all he could as fast as he could on Thor to heal him in time.

Theoric could hear the creature roars as it charged back over, but could do nothing about it as he closed his eyes and concentrated on the task at hand. Putting Thor back together was an effort, but well within his capabilities.

The ground started to rumble as the creature grew closer, Thor was now looking much better though with most of his severe wounds healed up.

Hearing the roar just above him now he lost all hope with Thor yet to be fully recovered. He desperately put a shield up over the pit to protect him and Thor as the shadow of the creature descended upon them.

Mangog seeing the foolish attempt looked down at the one who's been causing him such grief, making Theoric shudder under the stare.

Mangog then threw a fist straight at Theoric, breaking through the shield as if it wasn't even there, crushing Theoric underneath who felt like his whole body just broke.

Mangog lifted his fist again for another punch before being stopped by the abrupt entrance of the Bifrost, the rainbow color illuminating the area, distracting Mangog as he looked to see what was happening.

Odin appeared looking at his old adversary that managed to escape imprisonment.- "Mangog, that's enough! It's time for you to go back from whence you came," he said using his spear to shoot an energy beam at him, blasting him away from Thor and Theoric.

Mangog recovered himself, eyes narrowed at seeing Odin, his familiar voice ripping old wounds open as memories flooded his thoughts.- "Odin," he growled menacingly, realizing this was the real Odin.

Mangog then snarled- "Odin!" then released its arms out while roaring at Odin, yelling- "I WILL KILL YOU ODIN!" charging over like a rabid animal with foaming spit flying out his mouth.

Grundor seeing Odin's sneer while looking at the olden man thought about whether or not Mangog was ready yet after just escaping prison and already spending energy fighting others. It still didn't look like he was back at his peak yet and he would need to be to face Odin. Grundor could only hope that Odin was also not at his peak due to age.

Theoric, unable to see anything while down in the pit could hear Odin arrived to save his son. He also heard the word Mangog, the creature's name, which activated a residual memory from the Acanti. He didn't know at first what the creature was, confused by the fact that there were two, but now after hearing the name he knew. This was the name of a terrifying creature that had the potential to kill Asgard, if only he knew it sooner. This was also another one of Odin's dirty little secrets, something he would have never known if it wasn't for the Acanti's memories.

Odin once again fell in his eyes to an all-new low. Theoric pushing such thoughts out of his head worked on healing himself and then Thor while listening to the battle above, wishing he could see it.

Thor now healed slowly opened his eyes to see Theoric standing over him.

Thor rubbing his head asked- "What happened?"

Theoric thinking of a way to keep Thor the same arrogant person he needs to be for future events brought him out of the pit while explaining- "Well you tried to take on Odin's rival and faired well I might add, but still shy of what they are capable of." he said pointing out Odin and Mangog clashing.

Thor looked on in wonder at seeing his dad fight for the first time against the creature, quickly regained his confidence- "So I managed to go toe to toe with one of my father's enemies." he grinned, completely dismissing the memories of getting beaten.

Theoric rolled his eyes- "Yes and you came out of it without a scratch, pretty impressive my prince." he said while watching Thor's mood lift even higher still blissfully unaware that Theoric could heal.
