With no more wild game or vegetation, they have turned to the seas for food, but they are polluting the seas and reducing the number of fish – and yet, their population continues to grow! Worse still, Miceland is a dictatorship under the leadership of General Claw, who sees Wheeler as being enslaved for heavy labor and Hope Island as a place to be colonized. There are now only memories of those animals in their museums. The majority of the animals that his people hunted to extinction for food were driven off the island into the sea. All of the other animals that lived on the island are now gone. Soon, all of the trees and plant life were gone, and the island had become one big city, with their beautiful blue sky turning dirty and brown due to the pollution in the air. They moved further inland, clearing the land to build cities to house their growing population, and more resources were consumed. Many wanted big families, so their numbers grew rapidly. They lived in small houses on the beach with plenty of food for everyone. In the beginning, when their population was small, the island was rich and green, with clean air and water. As hard as it is to believe, Miceland started out as a beautiful paradise. They became the dominant species on the island. Piebald explains how they were once ordinary mice until the fallout from a nearby bomb test came to the island and gave them humanlike abilities, including the power of speech. There he meets a talking mouse who says he is a scientist called Piebald. He is taken prisoner and sent to a food processing plant. This changes when his windsurfer comes crashing down on top of him, knocking him out! When he comes to, Wheeler finds himself on an island called Miceland. Wheeler hits the sand hard but is unhurt. He then tries to get on a wave that quickly gets too big for him to handle! Finally realizing his mistake, Wheeler catches sight of land ahead of him and makes a run for it, but two waves come together and knock him off his windsurfer and onto the beach he was heading for. Wheeler is initially not impressed with the storm's severity, even after a strong wind flings his windsurfer into a hard turn. Gi understands, but before she leaves, she suggests that Wheeler not stay in the water for too much longer. Wheeler says Gi is not his mother and that he can take care of himself. Wheeler says that is part of the problem that had annoyed him to begin with: people and governments telling him what and what not to do. While she is sorry to have to end their good time, Gi says she is returning to shore and recommends Wheeler come with her. Gi is happy that Wheeler feels better but worries when she sees a storm coming. This seems to put Wheeler in a better mood. We see that he has begun to really get the hang of it as he catches some serious air with his windsurfer. Later, to blow off some steam, he goes windsurfing with Gi. Wheeler angrily remarks that it is an attack on his liberty to regulate how many children he should sire in his later years. Back on Hope Island, specifically in the crystal chamber, the Planeteers think part of the problem is that the world has too many people and suggest family planning to help control this.
