The fight was interrupted before it had properly begun by the appearance of [[CS-NA]], the ship-building robot from the [[Cupid Homeworld]], who had been off on a quest of his own across the [[Multiverse]], trying to understand the spirit of [[Christmas]]. Realising that his appearance at such a timely moment could not be coincidental, they deduced, with the serpent's input, that they were being manipulated from afar by [[Loki#In the Prime Universe|Loki]], though Pythe was initially skeptical. After convincing the serpent not to harm Cesse (who he temporarily thought might be another candidate for the “Spider” of the prophecy, and thus best gotten out of the way despite the Cupids' theory), Pythe and Juliet realise that the [[Wyrm]] they must actually defeat could only be the venom-dripping [[Wyrm of Loki|serpent]] affixed above [[Loki#In the Prime Universe|Loki]]'s prison to prevent him from escaping. Realising that the fulfillment of the Cupids' mission might be to his father's benefit, Jormungandir agreed to lead them, Trollgarsson and Cesse to the chamber where Loki was imprisoned. | The fight was interrupted before it had properly begun by the appearance of [[CS-NA]], the ship-building robot from the [[Cupid Homeworld]], who had been off on a quest of his own across the [[Multiverse]], trying to understand the spirit of [[Christmas]].

On the fairly long way there, they came across his brother [[Fenrir#In the Prime Universe|Fenrir]], who realised a scheme to free Loki was afoot and tried to stop it. Juliet tried to shoot a [[Cupid Arrow]] at the giant wolf to make him sympathetic to their own desires, but CS-NA stopped her from taking the shot, due to a line in Odin's prophecy warning them to “hunt not the Hound”. In the end, Fenrir ended up getting fortuitously knocked out by a boulder, allowing the group to proceed.

In the end, Fenrir ended up getting fortuitously knocked out by a boulder, allowing the group to proceed. In Loki's chamber, they were confronted with Sigyn, whose identity Pythe finally explained to Juliet, as well as the nature of what they were trying to obtain. Urged by Sigyn to get to the Wyrm-slaying already, Pythe got advice from Loki himself; at his suggestion and with his consent, they allowed a few drops of venom to reach him, causing him to thrash in supernaturally-charged pain — and causing an earthquake as a result, which shook the serpent loose from the roof of the cavern and knocked him out with falling stalactites.
