Having obtained some allies to help fight the Serpent, Loki states that they will need the fragments of the sword Dragonfang which was forged in Asgard's great forge by Odin and shattered when Hela last used on the corrupted World Tree. The first fragment is Soonevh, which Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Howard the Duck, and Cosmo work to obtain from its nearby star. The second fragment is in a military base on Sirius IV which Gamora, Drax, and Hulk work to obtain while avoiding Ultroids. The spores of the corrupted World Tree has started draining the plant life on Dasos causing Star-Lord, Nova, Yondu, and Nebula to go to the planet's aid.

The final Dragonfang fragment is in Niflheim, where Hela rules and where nobody has ever made it out alive. With Hela bitter that Odin banished her after Dragonfang broke on Serpent, Loki plans to use his charms to persuade Hela to help them fight Serpent. Even when Dragonfang is reforged, Hela is shown to have Serpent as her guest so that he can obtain Loki. Though Hela will not give up Iron Man or Dragonfang.
