[INDENT][INDENT]He had made him [i]bleed[/i].

Thor had watched as the blood spurt forth from the Surfer’s mouth before the silver hand had wrapped around his throat. The vice-like grip squeezed tighter and tighter as the Surfer bombarded Thor’s body with the power of his master. Defiantly fighting back with the fury of the storm, Thor reached his hand towards the Surfer’s arm, squeezing his wrist as his other arm pushed against the alien’s shoulder. 

[b][color=#daa520]“Till Valhalla!”[/color][/b] He bellowed, pulling the Surfer towards him as Thor threw his head back before swinging it forward, smashing it against the Surfer’s forehead. The shock of the attack caused the Surfer to release his grip as Thor smiled widely as surprise slowly spread across his foe’s silver visage. Rushing forward, Thor threw a devastating punch only for the Surfer to manage to avoid the blow. Spinning around, Thor threw another punch, his hand landing firmly in the Surfer’s grip as he held the blow before raising his opposite hand. Realizing too late the Surfer’s intents, Thor was too slow to take the blow as he watched it fly past him, colliding with the Raft’s tallest tower.

[b][color=#999999]“COME THEN, ASGARDIAN, THE FATE OF SEVEN BILLION LIVES WILL BE DECIDED BETWEEN YOU AND I ALONE THIS NIGHT.”[/color][/b]

Moving out of the Surfer’s grip, Thor stared down his cosmic foe. This was the man who had caused the misery of so many on Midgard and perhaps beyond. Who knew how many worlds he had visited, tested, on behalf of his master. 

Then a realization dawned upon Thor.

Looking at the Surfer’s silver coating fading away, images of Carl Creel came flooding back. If the Surfer had imbued the prisoners of the raft with new powers, then he could have done the same to Creel.

And to Amora.

Everything that had brought about this moment had been the Surfer’s own doing, and he was going to suffer for it. For hurting Marville, for hurting his parents. Taking a step forward, Thor unclapsed his cape, loosing it to the howling winds as he curled his hands into tight fists, each knuckle cracking as he stared down the Surfer.

[b][color=#daa520]"Only the fate of one life will be decided tonight, Surfer!"[/color][/b] Thor retorted, lightning crackling along his entire body as the pair stared each other down, like two predators locked in a fight to the death.

But for more than for any other reason, any other justification, Thor was going to make the Surfer suffer for hurting Barbara. 

[i]His Barbara[/i]. 

[b][color=#daa520]“One should know their foes if they ever hope to best them in battle.”[/color][/b] Thor boasted as he rushed towards the Surfer once more. Rising into the air with his fist raised high, Thor bellowed in the Surfer’s face as he closed the gap between them.

[b][color=#daa520]“I am Thor!”[/color][/b] He roared proudly before delivering the first blow across the Surfer’s face, thunder echoing across the turbulent waters surrounding the Raft. 

[b][color=#daa520]“The Son of Odin!”[/color][/b] Thor continued to yell as delivering a subsequent low blow to the Surfer’s abdomen. The chrome plated man doubled over as Thor roared again before delivering a knee to the alien’s face. 

[b][color=#daa520]“The God of Thunder!”[/color][/b] His words hung in the static-filled air as lightning flashed all around them, illuminating the battlefield in a blinding flare of pale blue as numerous bolts of energy descended from the sky directly into the Surfer’s chest. The chrome plated man arched his back in agony as the fury of the storm ran the length of his body.

[b][color=#daa520]“I am the Heir to the Throne of Asgard, the Protector of the Nine Realms!”[/color][/b] Thor continued to boast, a piece of rebar flying to Thor’s hands before he moved forward quickly, driving the long piece of metal into Surfer’s chest breaking through the silver coating before another bolt of lightning struck the metal bar, traveling its length into his body. 

[b][color=#daa520]“Björn of the North! The Lone Rider of the Storm! The Lord of Battle!”[/color][/b] Yelling louder with each name, Thor continued to strike the Surfer harder and harder as he continued his assault. His knuckles were growing raw as he suddenly took hold of the piece of rebar, snapping it off in the Surfer’s chest. 

[b][color=#daa520]“I am the fierce spirit and to my enemies,”[/color][/b]  Thor growled as he raised a leg, delivering a powerful kick to the Surfer as he sent the alien rolling through the debris across the battlefield.  

[b][color=#daa520]“I am the Terrible!”[/color][/b]

Several rolls of thunder boomed around the Raft as Thor stood over the Surfer’s body triumphantly. Pressing his hands together, Thor cracked his knuckles as he took a step forward, his voice barely above a growl as he continued to speak with each step.

[b][color=#daa520]“For all the harm you’ve done to Midgard, to Marville, to even Carl Creel and to June Moon,”[/color][/b] He paused as lightning struck the ground around him.  [b][color=#daa520]“ But most of all, for the harm you’ve done to Barbara Norris, [i]my Barbara[/i], I will send you back to your master, broken and begging for him to end your life.”[/color][/b][/INDENT][/INDENT]
