Regrettably, these days, they’re largely forgotten by many. After vanquishing a war with Guardians’ aid, the Wildkeepers were overlooked, and life carried on without them.
In time, enormous swarms of enemies mysteriously began assaulting various parts of the globe, with no sign of the Guardians. Have they disappeared or been defeated? Who or what is behind these attacks? Will the Wildkeepers rally once more, rescue the Guardians, and safeguard our world?
