A/N: So... sorry for taking so long. I hope you guys like it enjoy the read.

They made it half way through the field of flowers before the Lion heard something and started to point and jump at what ever he saw. Carlos looked to where the Lion was pointing, the Scarecrow let out a muffled scream and the Tin Man let out groan as they saw a flock of minions coming straight for them.

"Run" Screamed the Tin Man as they watched the flock of minions coming at them getting closer.

The Lion took off blazing a trail to the other side of the field of flowers and with Carlos and the Scarecrow following close behind. The Tin Man ran with Lightning close behind him. The Lion jumped over the last patch of flowers, with Carlos and the Scarecrow jumping soon after him. The Tin Man stopped a few feet away from the patch of flowers and turned back and picked Lightning up.

"Sorry Lightning", and with that the Tin Man tossed Lightning over the last patch of flowers towards the others on the opposite side. The Tin Man ran back to make it over the patch of flowers, but waited as he saw that the flock was targeting him.

The others were barking and screaming for the Tin Man to jump before the flock of minions came and blocked him off from escaping. But the Tin Man had his eyebrows raised and a smirk on his face that showed off that he had something in mind.

The other looked on as they watched the Tin Man stand his ground as the minions were closing in on him ready to attack. They watched as the flock made swooping pass and then turn around and come back to attack the Tin Man. The others watched as they looked at the Tin Man, the Lion had ducked behind Carlos and closed his eyes too afraid to see what might happen next, Carlos was screaming, the Scarecrow would have bounced back into the field to get the Tin Man but Lightning was holding him back.

The Tin Man smiled as he dove backwards into the path that they cleared in the field of flowers. The minions by this point were to deep into their descent that they had little chance of breaking out of their dive, and crashed one after another into the field of flowers.

The others vision was blocked by the flood of crashing minions and they had thought the worst. But still stared as they wanted to make sure that the Tin Man was gone for good. But they let out sigh as they saw him stand up from the wreckage of now falling asleep minions. The Tin Man ran and jumped over the last part of the flowers and looked back.

"Well that was close." The Tin Man said with a smile and raised brow.

The others looked at him with their mouths dropped as the Tin Man started to run ahead of them.

"Well lets get to city before the Wicked of West comes and tries to stop us with something else." The Tin Man said as he looked back at them as if nothing had happened. "Well?"

The others looked at each other and then started to run towards the waiting silver teen. They all looked back at the field of sleeping minions and smiled as they ran down the hill and putting the field far behind them.

After five minutes of running from the field the others stopped and looked at the silver skinned teen.

"What?"

"What? What? What?" The other three boys screamed at the silver teen.

"You, you, you, you...just... and... then... that!" Screamed the Scarecrow at the Tin Man.

"Yeah so."

"So you just went toe-to-toe with an entire flock of minions sent by the Wicked of the West." The Lion buffed.

"Yeah!" Chimed in the Scarecrow.

"And we thought we lost... lost you."

"Oh please that was nothing."

"That was not not nothing! I almost lost my friend back their!" Screamed the Lion with watery eyes.

"What I think Lion and all of us mean that we thought we lost you Tinny" Carlos said mockingly at the Tin Man with what the Tin Man told them when they first meet.

" Hey..." The Tin Man was about to fight with Carlos when he realized what he meant and smiled. "Sorry."

The Tin Man walked over to the crouching Lion holding back his tears with the Scarecrow trying to comfort him. The Tin Man crouched down and rubbed the Lion's back until he looked up at him.

"Sorry." The Tin Man said hugging the Lion.

"You damn right your sorry just don't do that again okay. And if you do just give us some kind of warning or sign."

"Yeah! You walking mailbox don't you dare do that again." The Scarecrow said hugging the Lion and the Tin Man.

Carlos came over and joined in the hug as the they were glad that they didn't lose one of the their friends and Lightning barking and licking at the Tin Man.

"Sorry Lightning but I had to toss you."

After all of them got up and looked at the road ahead of them and were glad to see that they were getting closer to the city.

~~~-Wicked's Liar-~~~

"Ahahahahahah! Oh! God! My stomach hurts!" Screamed out the flying monkey dog thing version of Kelly.

"Shut up!"

"They all feel alseep! Because of the sleeping flower trap that you set! Ahahahah!Oh, god my stomach!" Kelly said trying to breath normally again.

"It's not funny!"

"Yes it is! Whats next all your minions are sleeping on the job because of you! Unless we're going to take care of them ourselves?'

"Then lets go get me that ruby helmet myself! Come minion!...OWW!"

"I told you thats executive assistant of mionions!"

"Fine what ever just move your monkey dog butt!"

~~~-back on the road-~~~

After walking on the road for sometime the group decided that the needed to rest after the Tin Man's stunt show.

"So um Tin Man why didn't you just jump towards us there instead of making think that you were dead?" The Scarecrow asked before taking a bite of one of the fruits that they had brought with them.

"Yeah why?" The Lion and Carlos asked taking a bite of their fruits.

"Oh I saw that they were coming and Lightning was still behind me and I had to toss him over, but I saw they were singling me out since I was left in the field. So I knew what they were doing, cuz I saw it done in my hockey games."

The three boys had a puzzled look on their faces trying to figure out what the Tin Man meant.

"Its a move that we used when I played hockey. If there was a strong player that was far away from the group or the person with the puck was far away from the rest of the team we would ambush them."

"Ohhh." The reason behind the Tin Man's actions were explained to them but he could still tell that they didn't know what it meant exactly.

"Uhhhh. You see if the team loses the strongest player than the others will have to cover for him. I am the strongest player on this team. And Carlos is the guy with the puck that they want, but you were with the rest of the team so that left me. Get it now?"

"Yeah!" The other three boys screamed out.

"Hey if your the strongest and Carlos had the puck. What does that make us?" The Scarecrow asked pointing to himself and the Lion, but Lightning barked in his place. "Oh and Lightning?"

"Hmm. Well the Lion would be the rusher, since he's the fastest runner. He would be the one to take the puck and make sure its safe or rush the net of the other team to fake them out. Lightning is the defender, he's the one that tries to make sure the puck stays with us. Scarecrow you would bee..." The Tin Man tried to think of something that would be the Scarecrow.

"Well?" The Scarecrow screamed wanting to know what he would be in this team.

"Uhhh... you would...be"

"Well?"

"You would be the blindspot. Sometime the other team forgets about one player because they think that they're not worth the trouble. But thats good because when they realize that you're its to late because you slam them into the ring."

"Cool! I'm a blindspot." The Scarecrow said singing the last word and happily enjoying his fruit.

Carlos and the Lion leaned over to the Tin Man and asked whispering. "You just made that up didn't you?"

"Yes but don't tell him that. But its true that sometimes the other teams would forget to have defend against everyone because they didn't think that one person mattered."

"Well he is happy so lets just leave it at that Carlos." The Lion chimed in.

"Yup."

"Fine."

The five of them eat the rest of the fruit as they rested enjoyed the quiet time that they had right now knowing that Wicked of West was still planning something.
