Dib, the scarecrow, the tin girl, the lion, and the chihuahua slowly crept through the corridor. In surprisingly little time, the five of them reached the Wizard of Ak's main chamber. Dib tentatively approached the throne, and, almost immediately, a translucent green head appeared. Dib, surprised, jumped back.
Head: I am the great and powerful Ak! How ya doin'?
Dib: Well, considering that my house got blown over to another planet, I was threatened by a witch, attacked by trees...
Head: That's lovely. Oh, and I love your shoes!
Dib: Enough about the shoes!
Head: Uh, okay. So, whaddya want?
Dib: I want to go back to planet Earth...
Scarecrow: And I wanna be sane! Woo hoo! Yow! Whee hee! Wa hoo...
Tin Girl: And I want a video game. You'd better get it for me...
Lion: And I want self-esteem so that I can demonstrate my truly amazing prowess and rule the forest!
Head: Hmm... well, I think I can get you guys what you want...
The group's eyes lit up.
Head: ...but you will have to do something for me first. Bring me the broomstick of the Bitters Witch of the West, and I'll grant your requests. Goodbye!
Dib: Uh, won't we have to kill the witch to get it?
Head: Well, yes, that's the idea...
Dib: But you're more powerful than we are! Why don't you get it yourself rather than risking our lives?
Head: Just because.
The scarecrow nodded in agreement.
Scarecrow: He is wise! Whee!
Dib: But that's just stupid! Why...
Head: Don't call the great and powerful Ak stupid! After all, I'm not the one in high heels.
Tin Girl: He's got a point there.
Head: Well, go and get the broomstick, kay? Seeya!
The head disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.
Dib: But... but...
Lion: Enough of your insolence, shoe boy! Let us get this... brum-stik! It should be no trouble when you have an ally as incredible as me! She will cower before my incredible roar!
Dib: Fine, fine. Where does this witch live, anyways?
Scarecrow: I know! I know!
Dib: You do?
Scarecrow: In a big scary room with a crystal ball, and skulls, and dead rats, and a big ol' spider named Joe!
Dib: Well, that... didn't help at all.
Tin Girl: Let's go already!
The five of them walked out and followed the tin girl to a stand that said 'Maps: See the Houses of the Stars!'.
Employee: See the houses of the stars! Do you want to see the Almighty Warlocks' summer home?
Tin Girl: No. Can you get us a map of the witch's house?
The employee, who had previously been calm, became shocked at the mention of the witch.
Employee: You best be forgettin' about that Bitters woman! She's trouble, she is! I hate that witch! Since she's come by, we've lost...
The tin girl grabbed the employee by the collar.
Tin Girl: No. We want the witch's house, and we want it now. And you will pay if we don't get it!
Employee: Uh, ok! But, whatever you do, you didn't get that map from us! And get out!
The employee tossed the map at the tin girl and quickly closed the stand. The group took a look at the map. The witch's home turned out to be a castle in the middle of the picturesque-sounding 'Haunted Forest'.
Lion: Well... let us show this witch human that she should not mess with the mighty lion!
With this, the group set off on their quest to... buy equipment for the trip to the witch's castle.
