Arriving in Asgard, the New Mutants do not know who is responsible for transporting them there, while Hela is furious that Mirage has been taken from Earth, as her plan was to have her bring the heroes of Earth to Asgard for her army of the dead. Nevertheless though, she is pleased that the New Mutants are in Asgard, as their souls will satisfy her for now. Wolfsbane expresses her deep concern for Mirage, while Boom-Boom expresses her deep hatred for Asgard - even though she’s only been there five minutes. Sunspot tries to cheer her up, which results in them being attacked by a horde of dwarfs that were invading the caverns beneath the Valkyries castle. Boom-Boom provides the team with an escape route, but Cannonball orders everyone to be captured, hoping that the dwarfs will tell their leader, his friend Eitri, that he is here. This angers most of his team, but they follow his orders. Thrown in a dungeon, the New Mutants recall their recent events, while Boom-Boom continues to express her frustration about being in Asgard and her dislike for the natives. Rictor reveals his feelings for Boom-Boom to Cannonball, unaware that Boom-Boom has feelings for Cannonball, and Wolfsbane tries to boost everyone’s moral. Finally, Eitri comes and lets them out of the dungeon and after a brief reunion, informs Sam that many of the dwarfs have been taken by crazed Valkyries, as Hela wants them for their weapon-building skills. Eitri reveals what has been going on in Asgard lately, and why Odin may not be able to do anything about Hela, when suddenly a trio of Valkyries and some warriors appear, ready to do battle!
