Groot's Pursuit

Baby Groot wakes up in the Eclector Quadrant to find a broken vial and colorful liquid trails leading across the ship. While investigating these mysterious signs and a haunting noise, he encounters Iwua, a shape-shifting alien who takes on Groot's appearance. The two engage in a dance battle where the alien teaches the small creature new moves before Groot eventually ejects him from the ship through an airlock.
