Guardians Nathan Brazil and Mavra Chang were manipulated by the ancient Kraang entity. While distracted and trapped in bizarre Well World zones, their Guardian duties are compromised, allowing the Kraang to threaten the universe by trying to seize the Well's power.
The Well World's systems are sabotaged, leading to Brazil and Chang being separated, trapped, and forced into new forms by the planet's systems. The Kraang, an incredibly ancient and vicious entity, tries to exploit the guardians' vulnerability to become living gods and control the universe. Nathan Brazil, the original, weary Guardian, is sidelined while Mavra Chang struggles against a vicious, vengeful entity.

Revising rating up from three to four stars... A little long and winding, it was still entertaining enough. Better the second time through, for sure.
