I own nothing. this is part of a script for my online comic "Beyond The Yellow Brick Road" that i'm doing on with a friend.

i'll post links when we start it.


"It's beautiful."

No one could say it better.

Everybody in the OZ got their happy ending after all.

The queen got her kingdom back.

Cain saw his son again.

Raw's people were set free.

DG and Az were on good terms again.

And me? I got my brain back. I wasn't "Glitch, the brainless blunder," but Ambrose, the inventor. It felt so great to be home. But things were bubbling under the surface.

My home was feeling empty. I was alone again. And boy, did I feel guilty about it.

But that's not the worst of the troubles in the OZ- The Realm of the Unwanted was starting an underground revolution. Literally.

No one knew the workings of the Unwanted's channels and tunnels like the king. Too bad he was the first captured.The queen declared war that day. I unfortunately, had the task of bringing the princesses to her drawing room and standing guard at the door during this.

"I give them their own city, and now they want Finaqua as well?" the queen paced, her cup of tea trembling in her hands.

"Mom, they have our father," DG reasoned, putting a hand on her frantic mother's shoulder, "We must do what we must."

"She's right," Azkadelia sighed, "We can't sit around, tinkering with treaties while lives are on the line."

The queen sighed, "Who will be our scout, and who will gather troops? Who will help me protect our home?"

"I can help you here. I can plan for citizen safety and get us guards and send orders for you," Az reasoned, sitting back in her chair, "DG has had experience on the front before, let her scout. She can have Cain select and command her troops."

"DG? No, I couldn't do that to yo-"

"Mother, with Cain, Raw, and Ambrose, I know I'll be safe," DG argued, sitting down in a chair, "They are the bravest, strongest, and smartest in all the OZ."

The queen couldn't reason with them. Her girls were strong. She knew it. After the assembly, we were dismissed. DG caught up to me in the hall...

"Glitch."

I thought it was so cute she still called me that. Kind of like a pet name.

"I need you to run to the village and get Cain. He knows where Raw is."

I went to move, but she grabbed my hand, "Be careful. Okay? I can't lose you."

"Don't worry about me, DG."

She took my hand and placed hers over it, "Let this guide you." A greenish glow lit my palm in a circular formation, "If you get caught, it will free you. If you need help, it will call to me. If someone is hurt, it will heal them."

"DG-"

"Glitch," she gave me a re-assuring smile, "You're a great inventor, a brave heart, and smart person. I can trust you more than anyone in the world. This charm is only temporary, so move fast."

"Yes your majesty."

So, in a heartbeat, I left from there to the village. It's a great place, don't get me wrong, but these days, you never know. But I never expected what came next.
