The World of a Thousand Worlds

After a luxury space cruise goes wrong, the Heroes Act end up getting stranded on a world on par with Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. After seeing in shock and wonder races thought to be lost or extinct, they realize where they are: the legendary yet mythical Teadr 1 world of Higherworld, which is where Non-Teadr 1 races that were thought to be extinct reside under the governance of the Teadr 1.5 Arctirians, a race hailing from Planet Arctiria. After making friends in the form of, including a Mew-tailed humanoid Pephan vagabond omni-criminal of many levels of experience yet is hard to trust named Whayney, his squirrel-like Seopten crush Seacha, a gambling cat/fox-like Cruftan named Dyce, a Gremlin-like magic Jeen named Madam Ruze, a giant bulky frog-like Ilesion named Clobber, a Chredder named Heady, and two innocent carefree outcast Arctirian siblings named Budda and Bubba who are troublemakers that are secretly the heirs of the title as leaders of Higherworld, and are actually surrogate kids of the original makers of Higherworld, the Teadr 1 race known as the Balactans, who are currently artificial intelligence pods that supervise Higherworld as they went extinct due to having little place in the Teadr 1 Ages, and never got such until they preserved their consciousness into nodes that are now the pods today. They have since guided the Arctirians into publicly watching over the world and the races spared from a cruel fate. While the Heroes Act try to convince the Balactans that they could use protection despite the fact that the world is hidden for a reason, it turns out they couldn't have arrived at a better time because it's in danger. Budda and Bubba are orphans because of one thing: Count Gruemberger, who is a wartorn fanatic Gneollan that runs a guild of vengeful individuals from every race who seek to use the Balactan technology to avenge the death of their worlds or repopulate. Thus, when the threat becomes so strong that it requires Lodger attention, they discover that he not only murdered Budda and Bubba's parents when they tried to expose Gruemberger's plans, but he took much of their power, left their children supposedly for dead, created android versions of the two leaders as a guise, and hacked the Balactan nodes to ensure they don't stop him, making him the secret leader of Higherworld. Now that he knows the two heirs are still alive, he goes to desperate measures and has infused himself with Balactan DNA to ensure his guild gets what they want, killing the two once and for all, turn Higherworld against our heroes, and not let anything else stand in his way.
