Star-Lord leads his fellow team members Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon and Groot into raiding an alien prison to spring Yondu. They learn from him that Korath the Pursuer has a Spartax artifact called the CryptoCube that he plans to give to Thanos. After getting the artifact from Korath the Pursuer, the Guardians of the Galaxy head to Knowhere (a colony in the severed head of a Celestial). While Drax, Rocket Raccoon and Groot's stick form meet Cosmo the Spacedog (who is the head of security on Knowhere), Star-Lord learns from an alien broker that he is part Spartax. When Korath the Pursuer's group and Yondu's Ravagers attack the Guardians of the Galaxy to claim the Spartax artifact, Knowhere starts to come to life and ensnare everyone.

After the Cosmic Seed caused Knowhere to be briefly awakened and Groot to be overpowered by its energies, Korath the Pursuer snatches Star-Lord and Gamora in order to force Star-Lord to open the box for him by using a parasite that makes Gamora relive her sins. Following the rescue of Star-Lord and Gamora, Thanos leads his fleet into attacking Knowhere in order to claim the Star Seed's box. As Star-Lord uses the Continuum Cortex in Knowhere to fight Thanos' fleet, Groot helps Drax the Destroyer fight Thanos.

They also try not to get into conflict with a persistent Titus.

Titus apprehends the Guardians of the Galaxy when they try to infiltrate the Nova Corps Headquarters on Xandar even after preventing Supergiant from escaping from her prison and preventing a spaceship from crashing. As part of a deal with Titus, the Guardians infiltrate a notorious gang of weapons dealers called the Black Order (the same group that Supergiant works for which also consists of Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive, and Black Dwarf) who have been sighted on the desert planet of Eilsel 4. The Black Order plans to obtain the Universal Weapon that was previously used by Ronan the Accuser and give it to Thanos. Note: Drax screams the Wilhelm scream in this episode.

Since Ronan the Accuser has been dead, Irani Rael informs the Nova Corps that there is a power vacuum left by Ronan the Accuser's death where Korath the Pursuer, Nebula, and Gamora have been competing to be Thanos' new general. The other Guardians of the Galaxy members do not know it yet, but Gamora has come up with a plan to pit Korath the Pursuer and Nebula against each other by pretending to betray the Guardians of the Galaxy.

While at an abandoned mining facility on an unnamed planet, the Guardians of the Galaxy are attacked by super-evolved Symbiotes. They end up running into Yondu's Ravagers who are after the CryptoCube while trying to avoid the Symbiotes. After escaping both enemies, the Guardians of the Galaxy are unaware that one Symbiote stowed away. The Symbiote ends up possessing Groot, trapping Gamora and Drax in a cocoon, and changing the destination to Hala so that the Symbiotes can invade other planets.

After a fight with the Destroyer, the Guardians of the Galaxy are imprisoned along with Thor and Loki for disobeying Odin's laws while Heimdall and Valkyrie are reassigned to guard Odin's chambers. During this time, it is revealed that the Darkhawks were created by Odin's brother Serpent in an earlier plot to conquer Asgard. The Guardians begin accusing one another of being Darkhawks, unaware that they brought along a robot duplicate of Rocket.

With Odin approving their plan, the Guardians of the Galaxy travel to the Darkhawk Realm to free Rocket, the whole Galactic Council, and the entire population of Knowhere while also planting the explosive from the Darkhawk Rocket Raccoon at the energy core in the Darkhawk Realm. Though they will have to contend with Serpent.

Serpent has escaped from the Darkhawk Dimension and has infected the World Tree as part of his plans to reclaim Asgard. After taking Gungir from Odin and incapacitating most of the Asgardians, the Guardians of the Galaxy must work with Loki to defeat Serpent. Though they will have to get through the Forge of Asgard and the Stone Giant that guards it first.

Now that Serpent is in control of Asgard and Thor and Odin have been incapacitated, the Guardians of the Galaxy and Loki are adrift in a fragment of the Bifrost Bridge. Using its power, Loki sends the Guardians of the Galaxy to the different parts of the galaxy to gather reinforcements. Rocket Raccoon gains Iron Man and Hulk, Groot gains Yondu and Nebula during the Ravagers' operation on Veros Seven, Gamora gains Sam Alexander, Star-Lord gains Howard the Duck on Conjunction after a brief scuffle with the Champion of the Universe, and Drax helping Cosmo deal with Knowhere's mixed feelings.

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 Niffleheim 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. With the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy imprisoned, Hela keeps Rocket as a lap dog so that she can have him open the box containing her full power and her way out of Niffleheim.

Rhomann Dey rescues the Guardians of the Galaxy from being stranded in space. They learn that Serpent and his corrupted World Tree spores have defeated all Nova Corps members that have been sent to Asgard. As Irani Rael states that the Rigellians, Spartax, and Kree military forces are busy battling a siege to help fight Serpent, the Guardians of the Galaxy have no choice but to enlist the help of Thanos who is a fan of Hela's work.

A group of robots on Halfworld enhance a simple raccoon into Rocket Raccoon. It also tells how he met up with Groot.

It is revealed how Drax the Destroyer ended up in Nova Corps custody after he saved some prisoners from Ronan the Accuser.

Gamora is freed from Thanos' control while on a mission with Thanos' other minions known as Nebula and Korath the Pursuer.

Following Thanos' defeat, the Guardians of the Galaxy find the Milano at an overweight state due to the Earth souvenirs they have each collected. Even when they get rid of the souvenirs, the Milano falls from the sky.

The Milano crashes on Earth in a swamp. While Rocket Raccoon and Groot work on fixing the Milano, Star-Lord, Gamora, and Drax the Destroyer head out to obtain the parts that Rocket Raccoon needs to fix the ship. On Star-Lord's part, he goes to obtain a fusion reactor that is in the possession of MODOK and A.I.M., after switching jobs with Drax because of Rocket's pranks in the past.

→At a carnival, Drax the Destroyer looks for a large stuffed teddy bear after switching jobs with Star-Lord. He partakes in the high striker game. When he is angered at the milk bottle toss, he does some wrecking enough for the children to get the stuffed animals.

As Rocket Raccoon and Groot continue fixing the Milano, they have an encounter with Man-Thing who goes on a rampage on their ship. As Man-Thing's touch immolates anyone that comes in contact with him, Rocket Raccoon and Groot must find a way to dispose of Man-Thing without getting burned.

While looking for a 300 micrometer frequency laser that is needed to repair the Milano, Gamora arrives at an arcade that has a laser tag game. When she enters the laser tag game, she comes to the aid of a young boy named Albert who is being bullied by three kids, who turn out to be his brothers, reminding Gamora of her training days at the hands of Thanos, Korath, and Nebula.

As Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer, and Gamora give Rocket Raccoon and Groot the pieces they need to fix the Milano, Man-Thing reassembles and attacks the Milano. As Rocket Raccoon and Groot get the engines fixed, Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer, and Gamora fight Man-Thing. Groot then figures out that the ship sprung a leak and was polluting the swamp, which prompted Man-Thing's attacks.
