The Wizard of Oz

Chapter Eleven
Two days after the friends left the Emerald City, they reached the Vampire-Witch's territory.
"This place looks like the East." Tenchi announced as they entered the forest.
"Yeah." Cerberus agreed.
"Don't be fooled by the looks of the place." Jigen announced, "This place belongs to Elda."
"Jigen's right." Dorothy agreed, "Let's be careful until we reach Elda's castle."
The lion and the scarecrow nodded in agreement.
"All right, then," declared the tin man, "let's go."
"Let me check somethin' first." Dorothy announced before checking the basket to see Toto in there.
"Toto's in there?" Cerberus 'asked', knowing that after the food was eaten, Dorothy used the basket as a portal bed for Toto.
"Yeah." The girl answered.
"Then, let's go." Tenchi suggested.
The group started off into the forest.
Meanwhile, Elda was watching the group enter the forest using the Glass Eye.
"So, they are coming here." The Vampire-Witch of the West grinned evilly as she shrunk the Glass Eye into the size of an eyeball and returning it to her necklace.
VesVes, JunJun, and CereCere took in a sigh of relief when their boss spoke up.
"Now, who's going to get those fools?"
"I will!" JunJun raised her hand.
"What are you gonna do?" VesVes spoke up, "More fireballs? Dorothy's got that hair-tie protect the scarecrow and the lion."
"Well, the beasts you sent after them failed." CereCere announced.
"You're one to talk." JunJun argued, "Your flowers stunk."
"Silence!" The witch roared at her slaves, who stopped bickering among themselves, "None of you are going to capture them."
"You don't mean...?" The girls asked in unison as their saw the awful smile from their master.
Dorothy, Tenchi, Jigen, and Cerberus were still walking down the forest, which became dark.
"I don't like how the forest became so dark." Cerberus spoke out.
"Me too." Dorothy agreed.
"Be careful." Jigen warned for the fifth time.
"Understood." Tenchi sighed, annoyed at the repeated warnings.
"Shh." The tin man said in a whisper, "Someone's here."
"Who?" The lion asked, whispering as well.
The scarecrow, who was curious, started counting people.
"One, two, three, four, five!"
"Wait a minute!" Jigen announced before asked Tenchi, "Did you count Toto?"
"Uh oh!" Tenchi gasped, "That blue-haired girl isn't suppose to be with us!"
The others looked at the direction of the scarecrow's sight and saw a young girl.
The girl had blue hair, which was in a sphere-shaped bun and four tufted ponytails that and in spheres and had a black band, bright blue eyes, and pale skin. She wore a light blue one-piece outfit, which was decorated with three blue spheres, dark blue lines, with blue sphere-like earrings, and thin necklace with a blue sphere, a yellow tutu, sky blue leggings, which had spheres dangling from the helm, and blue slippers. The black sphere on the girl's forehead was noticed by the four allies.
"Hello." The blue girl smiled as she greeted the group.
"Hi." Dorothy replied nervously, "Who are you?"
"PallaPalla is PallaPalla's name, and being the Ball Balancer's are PallaPalla's game." The girl announced.
"Oh, no!" Jigen exclaimed as he stepped back from the girl, known as PallaPalla.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Tenchi announced.
"Yeah." Cerberus agreed, retreating from PallaPalla.
Then, a blue ball appeared in front of the girl, who summoned a cue stick into her hand and aimed the stick at the ball.
"Uh, oh!" Dorothy said.
:"Time to play!" PallaPalla yelled out.
With a swift contact form the cue stick to the ball, the sphere flew at the group. Then, the ball split into four balls. Each ball hit each member of the group, imprisoning each of them in a transparent orb.
"PallaPalla is disappointed." The girl said, "You're beat PallaPalla's sisters, but you don't PallaPalla. Oh, well, PallaPalla don't get hurt, if PallaPalla take you to Vampire-Witch."
"Vampire-Witch?" Tenchi exclaimed.
"We're in trouble now!" Cerberus yelled.
"Yeah." Dorothy wimpered.
Then, the four sphere-shaped prisons flew into the sky.
"Time for delivery!" PallaPalla yelled as another blue ball appeared in front of her.
The cue stick hit the second ball, which flew to the prisons, and hit Dorothy's sphere, causing a chain reaction, which sent the group flying to the Elda's castle.
"I wanna see what the Vampire-Witch does to them." PallaPalla announced with a smile filled with mischief before she turned herself into a ball and flew after her prisoners.
