The battle is great, but the Asgardians are defeated. Thor awakens in a dungeon and discovers that the food is drugged, keeping the rest of the Asgardians enthralled. Thor breaks free and frees Hildegarde and Tana Nile, who has yet to be drugged. They meet up with Gregor and his resistance and agree to help them overthrow Sssthgar and the Vrellnexians. They destroy the drug factories and abandon Sssthgar to the former slaves of Golden Star, but not before he tells Thor that Sif was sold to some miners in the Dark Nebula.
