Synopsis
Wander discovers an adorable new species and accidentally exposes them to an entire new world.
Plot
While looking for something to help defeat Lord Dominator, Wander happens upon a small orb. Within it is a tiny planet composed of the simplistic beings known as the Bitties. Sylvia tells him to put it back as the owner is a nerdy and self-entitled wizard named Neckbeard whose store houses numerous ancient artifacts. He informs them that the orb is valuable and not to touch it. Despite this, Wander begins to look at the Bitties, believing that there is no harm in them knowing that something exists outside of their world. Wander begins to follow each of the Bitties and even tries to tamper with their lives to his amusement.
Neckbeard nearly catches Wander who hastily puts the orb back. When he sees Wander playing the banjo, Neckbeard shows off his ability to play the Theremin, but Sylvia impatiently has him return to showing off his wares. Wander sets the Bitties planet right and reveals himself. The Bitties are taken by Wander's appearance and begin to mimic him. In response, they build a stone statue and a wooden statue of him. However, the Bitties get into a war over one another, much to Wander's horror. Growing tired of Neckbeard's indifference, Sylvia demands that he give them something to get rid of Dominator and he tells them about the Oblivion Mirror which will transport anyone across the universe, but can only work once.
Neckbeard and Sylvia catch Wander messing with the orb and are upset at him. Neckbeard informs him that the Bitties are too primitive to understand the outside universe and covers it up, hands the mirror to the two and has them leave the store. Knowing that he left them in worse shape, Wander rushes back in and takes the orb with Neckbeard chasing him throughout the store. He takes the mirror back from Sylvia and demands a trade off, but Sylvia takes the orb and tosses it into the mirror; sending the Bitties to another galaxy. Neckbeard is surprised that they are doing okay and charges Wander and Sylvia for the mirror and orb. Meanwhile, the Bitties look at their new environment and are in awe.
