Synopsis: Thor seeks Loki's Norn Stones in Vietnam. A cruel hunter, aided from afar by Loki, shoots Thor with an anesthetic projectile and brings him down. The hunter then discovers the hidden temple of the Destroyer. The hunter's consciousness enters the Destroyer. It awakens and engages Thor in battle. Loki realizes he has made a mistake-- the Destroyer is too powerful! He tries to warn Odin. Unfortunately, this is the day of the Odinsleep and he may not be disturbed. The gods throw Loki into the "Dungeon of No Escape". The destroyer fires a bolt of elemental force at Thor which will surely kill him!
