Meanwhile, in far off Olympus, Zeus is being entertained when suddenly Pluto arrives to hand over the signed Olympian Pact, which has made Hercules ruler of Hades, thereby freeing Pluto from his centuries-long rule of the domain. When Zeus believes this to be a trick, Pluto shows him the signed document and presses the ruler of the Olympian Gods to follow the rule of the pact. Elsewhere, Hercules has arrived in Olympus to seek his father's aid, his travels are slowed when he must fight off a Titan that gets in his way. When Hercules finally reaches Olympus, he finds that he is too late, and Zeus demands that he honor the pact and go to Hades and rule. Zeus allows Hercules to get out of his bind, all he needs to do is find someone willing to fight for him.

Back on Earth, Thor arrives at Jane Foster's apartment and meets her new roommate Tana Nile, whom Thor finds very strange. Tana admits that she is from a faraway place, however, doesn't explain her origins. When Thor presses Jane for more information, she, unfortunately, does not know much else about her new roommate either. Thor once more pledges his love to Jane and expresses his interest in marrying her. Because a God cannot marry a mortal, Thor decides to go to Asgard one last time and demand his father take away his godly heritage so they may wed. A decision that Jane is happy with but is concerned about. The couple is unaware that the whole time Tana has been secretly listening in on their conversation and has plans for Thor, plans of which require his godly might, and she plots to ensure that Thor does not return to Earth.

Thor, meanwhile, travels back to Asgard, where he finds Balder waiting for him. Balder explains to Thor that something has Odin disturbed and that he has been sent out to find Thor as quickly as possible. Odin, not allowing Thor to explain his intended plans, tells the Thunder God that he must travel to the realm of Limbo to prepare through the Doorway of All Worlds as a prophecy that will affect three worlds is about to pass. Thor has no choice but to agree and allows Odin to transport him to Limbo to wait until he is needed.

Back in Olympus, Hercules attempts to get aid from his fellow Gods to fight for him. Hercules attempts to get the aid of his enemy Ares to fight on his behalf, to which the God of War refuses. When his time to find someone runs out, Pluto appears to gloat as his minions rise out of Hades to take Hercules to his new realm. However, at this moment, Odin dispatches Thor from Limbo, having him appear in Olympus. Thor arrives believing that Odin wishes him to battle Hercules; however, when the Thunder God witnesses the Prince of Power being dragged into Hades by the minions of Pluto, Thor realizes what he must do and challenges Pluto and fight on Hercules' behalf.
