(Oz, The Great and Powerful)


*June 10th, 1900*

*Emerald Palace*



*Day 6, Afternoon*

Dorothy had stood in front of the all powerful Oz as the young girl remained calm as she spoke about her desires.

"Great Oz, my only desire is to return to my home which is located in Kansas, could you grant that wish for me?" Dorothy had asked Oz in a calm and polite tone of voice as she waited for a response from the giant head as Oz suddenly began to laugh at what he just heard before speaking once more but in a rather calm voice this time around.

"That's all!? Is that what you truly seek!? You can have anything in the world if it was up to me and yet you choose to go back home!?, what are your reasons?" Oz had asked Dorothy in a surprised tone of voice as the young girl could see red smoke appearing from the giant head which surprised her.

"Well, It's just I'm not interested in seeking power or anything but rather just me returning back home with my Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, It's not asking for much so I know you can grant the wish" Dorothy had spoken back to Oz as this made the giant head think for a moment before finally deciding on a answer.

"You are truly eager to return home however If you want me to grant your wish then you must carry out a mission for me and if you succeed then I shall grant you your wish..." Oz had spoken out in a more mysterious tone of voice as this revelation had made Dorothy curious as she wondered what the mission could be about.

"And what mission should I do, Great Oz?" Dorothy simply responded back in her usual calm voice as there was silence in the room for a few seconds before Oz had broken the silence by revealing what he wanted Dorothy to do.

"Dorothy, you must kill the Wicked Witch of the West for me and once you do, I shall grant your wish, that's all I expect from you..." Oz had finally revealed as this caught Dorothy by surprise as she had never been tasked to do something big as she began to speak.

"W-Wait!! Great Oz, I can't! I'm not powerful enough to kill the Wicked Witch of the West! I'm only small and meek!" Dorothy had cried out as the young girl was clearly shocked at what she just heard however Oz simply didn't care as he further explained to Dorothy about her task.

"You clearly killed the Wicked Witch of the East so this means you have the power to destroy the Wicked Witch of the West, right? I'm expecting you and your little friends to return in one piece. The witch is located in Winkie Country which is west!" Oz had explained to Dorothy in a more louder tone of voice as the young girl continued to fight back against what she was told.

"No! I can't kill her! I don't have the power to do so! I just want to go home! Please..." Dorothy continued to plead with the great Wizard as the giant head simply closed his eyes in annoyance before speaking once more.

"NO! YOU SHALL KILL THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST!! THEN I SHALL SEND YOU HOME, THE GREAT OZ HAS SPOKEN!!" Oz had spoken back in a more booming and loud voice as the giant head had disappeared leaving Dorothy shocked at her experience.

"Oh no, how do I tell my friends about this..." Dorothy uttered out in sadness as she picked up Toto while slowly walking her way back to her friends with her head down as she eventually made it to the doors as she opened it.

"Dorothy!? What happened? I thought you went home?!" Scarecrow had uttered out in shock as he and the other quickly ran to Dorothy's side as they noticed that the usual cheerful girl was crying.

"O-Oz wants us to kill the Wicked Witch of the West before he can send me home!" Dorothy had cried out in sadness as this revelation caught Scarecrow and the others by surprise.

"T-The Wicked Witch of the West..." Tin Woodman had uttered out in surprise as he and the others were shocked as they could do nothing but give Dorothy the comfort that she needed at the moment.

*Day 6, Night*

*Emerald Motel*

A few hours had passed since Dorothy's encounter with Oz as Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and Cowardly Lion all were sitting in Dorothy's motel room as the gang had discussed the events that happened today.

"I can't believe the wizard would have us do such a task, It makes me scared to see what he could say to me when I see him tomorrow..." Scarecrow had spoken out in a tone of concern while Dorothy nodded her head in sadness while Tin Woodman gave her a rub on the back.

"To kill one of the witches is such an impossible task since they're quite powerful indeed. I just don't get why Oz doesn't just kill the Wicked Witch of the West on his own? It just rubs me the wrong way..." Tin Woodman had spoken out in annoyance while Cowardly Lion nodded his head in agreement.

"Maybe he's too afraid but that's just my honest guest.." Cowardly Lion had chimed into the conversation as Dorothy simply shrugged her shoulders.

"I honestly don't know but I just need to sleep it off and think about what I should do when morning comes so If I may ask, could I have some alone time, please?" Dorothy had advised her friends as the gang nodded their heads in understandment.

"Of course, we'll allow you to have some time to yourself and if you need anything than we'll be in our rooms" Scarecrow had advised back to Dorothy in a understanding tone of voice as he, Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion all got up to leave the room thus leaving Dorothy and Toto alone in the room as the young girl stared out of the window to see the beautiful Emerald City and it's buildings.

"Toto, will we ever truly go back home? I just wanna go back to Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. I just wanna go back home.." Dorothy had vented to Toto as she knew that her dog could not understand her however she didn't care as she silently cried to herself as she walked over to her bed before falling asleep while Toto was still awake.

"Dorothy, I miss them too, It's strange but I have faith that you will kill the witch, Locasta has even given you her blessings..." Toto had spoken out to his sleeping owner as due to the dog being in Oz.

Toto was capable of speaking just like a human as he and Dorothy slept the entire night away.

*Day 7, Morning*

The next morning had arrived as Dorothy and the gang were just finished eating breakfast as they were waiting for Scarecrow to be summoned so he could meet with Oz.

"Whew, I'm kinda nervous. I hope that Oz can explain things more clearly once I'm able to visit him.." Scarecrow had spoken out to Dorothy in a worried tone of voice as the young girl quickly gave him comfort.

"I'm sure he will, I hope he can change his mind when it comes to you but I highly doubt it.." Dorothy had spoken to Scarecrow as the pair could hear the sounds of the door opening.

"Scarecrow, please come in..." Oz had spoken out but in a more polite tone of voice as this caught Dorothy by surprise as this alerted the Scarecrow to proceed on.

"Good luck, we hope you can get your brain! Don't be scared as well!" Tin Woodman had cried out in hopes of motivating his friend as Scarecrow smiled at this.

"Of course, I'm not gonna allow fear to get in my way of getting what I want!" Scarecrow had spoken out in a confident tone of voice as he quickly entered the room that Dorothy was in as the doors closed behind him.

"Oh, this place seems quite dull, I thought Oz's palace room was gonna be more lively than this? Oh wait, I can't think.." Scarecrow had muttered out as he looked around before seeing a beautiful shine of light appearing in front of him.

"Good Morning, Scarecrow, I'm Oz, The Great and Powerful. How could I help you?" Oz had spoken out as the being was now a beautiful angel with olive skin, brown hair, and was dressed in all white as this caught Scarecrow by surprise.

"Huh? I thought Oz was a giant head like Dorothy described, this is weird..." Scarecrow had thought to himself as he was left to face Oz, who was in fact a beautiful angel unlike how Dorothy described it to be.
