Xorr causes a vibration that knocks everyone out. When they awake, they are deep underground. Meanwhile, Xorr tells Sif and Karnilla his origin. It then blasts off the asteroid, with the Asgardians and Mercurians in hot pursuit. They board their vessel and defeat the miners, but when Thor goes to rescue Sif, he realizes he cannot free her from the jewel without killing her.
