The Wonderful Land Of Oz

Chapter 40: (The Nome King)

(The Nome King)

*October 22nd, 1905*

*Edge of Ev* 

Dorothy and her friends stood in front of the Iron Giant as they were ready to do battle while Hungry Tiger, Billina and Tik-Tok were watching from the chariot.

"Do you guys have a death wish or something?! It's best to turn back before things get ugly!" Billina had warned her friends in a tone of concern while Tik-Tok quickly had given her reassurance.

"Don't not be afraid, they will prevail. That I can tell you.." Tik-Tok had spoken to Billina as the pair had continued to watch the upcoming battle against Iron Giant.

"Alright, let's defeat this hunk of junk so we can save the Ev family!" Dorothy had spoken out to her friends while the giant hammer had swung down on her; however, Ozma managed to get her out of harm's way thus beginning the battle.

"Make sure Dorothy is safe! She's unable to fight against the Iron Giant! I'll use my ax to distract it!" Tin Woodman had cried out to his friends as he quickly ran across the wasteland before throwing his ax at Iron Giant with such force which only grazed him as the machine man began to laugh while also seeing Tin Woodman catching the ax with his hand.

"How foolish! A measly ax would never harm me! You'll have to do better than that!" Iron Giant had spoken out while attempting to swing his giant ax towards his target; however, Tin Woodman quickly dodged it with ease as he realized that this battle wasn't gonna be easy.

"He's too fast and big! Even with my upgraded ax, there's no way we'll be able to defeat him.." Tin Woodman had thought to himself while looking up to see Iron Giant slowly approaching him; however, this was stopped by a blast from Ozma as she had used her staff as this managed to hit the giant machine and with that, Ozma had a huge change of plans in regards to Iron Giant.

"Tin Woodman! I'll distract him while you and the others continue on, I'll catch up!" Ozma had advised to her friend in a cautious tone of voice as this prompted Tin Woodman to nod his head before quickly running towards the direction they was originally heading at while Dorothy could do nothing but watch everything unfold.

"Ozma?! Are you sure that you got this?! I was thinking that we could chase him into a cave or something!" Dorothy had spoken out to her friend while being met with Ozma nodding her head in confirmation meaning that things was just gonna be alright.

"I got this! If he's distracted with me than I'd figured that you guys might have a chance in making it to the Nome Kingdom!" Ozma had responded back to her friend as Dorothy nodded her head in understandment before running and getting back inside of the chariot.

"Forward, march towards the Nome Kingdom!!" Dorothy had cried out in a commanding tone of voice as the chariot began to move towards its destination while Billina was surprised at the change of plans; however, she understood the situation.

"I hope that Ozma can win this or else all is lost and we can't allow that to happen!" Billina had spoken out to Dorothy in a concerned tone of voice while Dorothy remained faithful.

"Ozma has defeated Mombi, the former Wicked Witch of the North so I believe she can defeat Iron Giant.." Dorothy had spoken back to Billina with a smile on her face as she had hope in her heart that Ozma will win.

The battle between Ozma and Iron Giant was officially beginning; however Ozma had a smile on her face the entire time which left Iron Giant confused.

"What are you laughing about?! Do you think you got what it takes to defeat me, huh, little princess?!" Iron Giant had spoken out in a rather boastful tone of voice while Ozma's smile remained.
