Entanglement With The Gods
Chapter 2:
Silver Shoes, Horses, Oh My!
Several days passed while crossing the Yellow Brick Road, two days actually. Cosmo figured that if the portal to Fairy World wasn't closed back then, it had to be closed now. Although he did not let hope fade so quickly, after all he had been on some pretty wacky adventures where the outcome looked slim, but he made it by.
Timmy felt the same way; he wasn't going to let one little adventure get in his way of freeing Fairy World, nothing could. Though it would have seemed that their hopes drowned on the second day when it rained horribly. Cosmo tried twice to bring Timmy immediately to the Emerald City, but failed to do so. It had absolutely nothing to do with his wand, but a voice deep inside was telling him to stop or he would suffer the consequences. He was almost certain that it wasn't the Gods or some trick of the Anti-Fairies, but a voice somewhere inside that he couldn't detect.
So on that rainy day, the two found shelter in a giant tree that was next to the Yellow Brick Road. This tree had a hole in it fit for ten people, and that's who exactly was hiding in there! A couple of Munchkins and a Winkie, that's about it.
"What are you people here for?" Timmy asked.
"We're on run from the law!" Answered a Munchkin, "we were caught practicing magic and Glinda the Good put us in an inescapable prison."
"Then how did you get out?" Asked Timmy.
"One of her flying monkeys let us out," answered the Munchkin.
"Why is magic outlawed?"
"Because one too many people used it for their evil purposes, so Princess Ozma and Glinda the Good decided it would be best to outlaw magic entirely. Except only the Princess herself, Glinda, and the Wizard could practice magic."
"I guess that makes sense," Timmy said to himself.
"I guess that would explain me not being able to use my magic," Cosmo said quietly to himself.
"What?" asked Timmy.
"Nothing," replied the green-haired Fairy.
Timmy looked outside, and it started to rain even harder as if the Gods themselves were causing this downpour to try and make a flood. For the area that this tree was located in, it would have been possible: this section of the Yellow Brick Road slopes down between two hills, and the tree is located at the very bottom of the valley. Already water was starting to rise up to everyone's shoes.
"Cosmo, you better do something quick!" Timmy shouted.
"I can't!" whimpered the Fairy.
"Why not?"
"Because there's something about this country. It, it gives me a bad conscious if I even think about using magic. Fairies need a clear conscious to use their magic."
Lightning flashed outside and set a twig on fire. It fell down to the entrance of the tree and was like an example to the people inside that if they didn't get out, they would be killed. Which is ironic because no one can ever die in the area limits of Oz, although there is torture, which is a fate worse than death itself.
The next lightning bolt flashed at an instant of booming thunder, this set a great fear into Timmy and Cosmo. The natives to Oz didn't mind though; they knew that nobody could be killed. They even tried telling Timmy and Cosmo that, but they couldn't hear over the thunder. It was almost like this was the work of some God.
Atlantis was like a submerged Mount Olympus; it too was on a hilltop and had many ancient buildings erected on it. It also had a glass dome covering it to keep the water out. This was Poseidon's paradise. His muses were the Sirens: Goddesses who would sing a lovely tune on their island and lure men to crash their ships on the rocky shores of their island.
As this description of Poseidon keeps going on and on, you're probably wondering to yourself "Why did Poseidon want to abandon his brother's already established God order?" Here's the answer: it's been a long dream of ANY sibling of Zeus to establish his or her own Godly order. Poseidon did just that when his city, Atlantis, plunged into the depths of the ocean. So far he has five gods, but their numbers are increasing. Most notably is the God Spongebob Squarepants. After assailing him in the cooking contest, Poseidon made him a God even though he refused to live in Atlantis.
Today, now more than ever, Poseidon has called Spongebob Squarepants to his side in Atlantis. Even though the prophecy was for the Gods of Olympus, it was meant for ANY god who associated him or herself with the great Gods.
Right now, Poseidon was watching the quarrel of Timmy and Cosmo in Oz though his magic mirror-lake. He was laughing horrendously at the inescapable situation of the pair.
"Isn't this hilarious, Spongebob?" Poseidon chuckled.
"Actually, I'm mortified. Why do we need to go out of our way to kill a ten year-old boy and his Fairy God Parents? So what if they're powerful, if we leave well enough alone that prophecy will never come true!"
Poseidon looked at Spongebob curiously, and started laughing. "You're alright Spongebob! You're alright!"
With an angry attitude, Spongebob walked out of the main palace. When he was in the meadows, he teleported out of Atlantis, and found himself on the location where Timmy and Cosmo were on the Yellow Brick Road. As the rain started to fall down harder, Spongebob started to absorb it, and grew bigger and bigger and bigger.
To Timmy's astonishment, the rain started to get less and less. He looked outside and saw a giant yellow sponge soaking up all the rainwater. He was amazed at this giant, and knew he was here to help. He looked back at everybody else, and knew that this was the perfect opportunity for the group to leave.
"C'mon everybody! It's the perfect time to get moving!" He shouted.
The Munchkins and Winkie ran out of the threshold and walked up opposite sides of the path. Timmy looked back at Cosmo and saw him in a sad mood. He didn't have time to listen to Cosmo's problems so he took the fairy by the collar and dragged him out. They ran up the part of the Yellow Brick Road they were supposed to, just as Spongebob released the water.
When he did, a giant lake was formed and he was left sitting in the middle. Timmy tried calling over to Spongebob, but the yellow sponge couldn't hear him over the thunder, he just suddenly teleported away instantly.
Relieved to be out of that mess, Cosmo and Timmy walked away. Just as they turned around, a giant TV fell from the sky and electrified the lake. They turned around and saw sparks flying everywhere. Then a lightning bolt shot the heel of the tree, and it fell over and smashed the TV. They ran as far as they could from the doomed lake as it spewed sparks and fire lied on top of it.
Timmy and Cosmo fled for about ten minutes, and then stopped running due to exhaustion.
"Cosmo, can you PLEASE bring me to the Emerald City?" Pleaded Timmy.
"I don't know if I can, but I'll try with this guilty conscious."
Cosmo raised his wand up, and it started to spew out sparks. His arm jerked this way and that. Electrical surges covered the entire wand and the star on top of it. Suddenly, different colors broke out, and Timmy and Cosmo were gone in a flash. They soon found themselves at the end of the Yellow Brick Road and the entrance to the Emerald City.
The Entrance to the Emerald City was gigantic and studded with emeralds. The gate also went up halfway of the tallest spire, so you can see that security is a very important issue in this country (of course, with enemies such as the Wicked Witches and the Nome King, why shouldn't it be?).
Up above, a pink lightning bolt flashed through the clouds, and the largest thunder rumble you could ever imagine rumbled. Next a voice came out:
"Who dares uses magic in the eyes of Princess Ozma?"
Timmy and Cosmo were bewildered by this voice.
"I feel all tingly inside!" Shouted Cosmo in distress.
"What is it?" Timmy shouted back.
And next thing they knew, Cosmo was turned into a two-dimensional character and exploded into a million tiny gold pieces. Timmy started to get scared and wondered what was going on. The same thing happened to him before he could notice.
The next thing he knew, the area around him kept on spinning and spinning until it turned into a massive golden chamber. Before he knew it, he was in chains and so was Cosmo. The platform they were standing on had a massive screen on the wall in back of them and a railing in front of them.
They saw a Golden Throne across from them with a young girl sitting in it. She had ebony hair and wore ruby bows in it. She also had a white flowing dress that glistened in the sun. Next to her sat a blonde girl in a silver chair. This girl's hair was long, and her dress was a white blouse with a blue-overall skirt. To the right of the brunette sat a Scarecrow-man in a bronze throne. He wore a blue shirt with brown pants with different colored patches. Straw-bale was sticking out of all his clothes as well.
On the right side of the platform was a tall and mighty woman with brown hair. She wore a very white and shiny dress with patches of pink here and there. On the left side of the stage stood a small bald man dressed in green clothes.
At once the girl in the gold throne spoke: "You two have been charged with using magic in Oz. It is against the law to use magic in ANY form in this mighty land. How do you plead?"
"Not guilty!" Shouted Timmy.
"Explain yourself," replied the girl.
"Back there on the Yellow Brick Road, it was raining like there was no tomorrow! After we luckily escaped, Cosmo and I were so tired that we just had to teleport to the Emerald City as quickly as possible."
"What are you talking about?" The girl replied strongly, "I was just taking a walk in my courtyard and it was crystal clear. If there had been rain, I would have known it."
"That's odd," Timmy muttered to himself, "Nonetheless, we still had to come here because of dire situations."
"Are you challenging me? Have you no idea who I am?"
"Not really."
The girl rose from her seat, "I am Princess Ozma of Oz! None have dared to answer me the way you just did. I will review your case on the Magic Screen behind you."
Ozma pushed her arms apart, making the entire room darkened and the screen lit up. Automatically, it showed Timmy and Cosmo stuck in the tree where the Yellow Brick Road made a valley. Then it displayed the rain get heavier and created a massive puddle, and then the rest of the events were played out on the screen.
Princess Ozma was amazed at Spongebob landing just in time to save the people stuck in the tree and the destruction of the lake.
"I have reviewed your case, and have decided that in most dire cases that you really needed to use your magic. However, I do NOT want you to use your magic again. As some may have told you, magic is not condoned in this land. Although, I am curious: do you know who's trying to kill you?" Ozma asked.
"Well, you see, the Gods of Olympus are trying to kill."
"Did you say the Gods of Olympus?" Ozma shouted in surprise.
"Yeah."
"The Gods have long used Oz for their battlefield. It's really annoying and scars up some of our most beautiful lands. Tell me, who do you suspect has been doing this?"
"Poseidon," Timmy said quickly.
"Poseidon. the most dangerous of the Gods. He can appear anywhere there is water. Which is why he considered the most dangerous of the Gods. We must lure him out into the Deadly Desert where he'll evaporate. Come my subjects, we must leave."
There was a sudden rumble in the room.
"It's starting," Ozma said to herself.
Everyone found themselves out of the chamber and in the Town Square; and Cosmo and Timmy were free of their chains. In the Town Square, there was a massive earthquake in which the water jumped out of their fountains or ponds. All of a sudden, streams of water were drawn out of the fountains and ponds. In mid-air they formed Poseidon: God of Water and Horses.
He held up his part to being the God of Horses when he turned into a waterfall and real-live horses formed out of the water. The group started running in fear for their lives. Running, the Sorceress known as Glinda the Good raised her magic wand and in a flash of pink light they all arrived at the edge of the Land of the Winkies. Right before them lay the Deadly Desert, upon which any living thing that touches it turns to sand; far off in the distance lay Poseidon's Land Barrier, which as long as it stood wouldn't allow Timmy onward to the next world.
"It will be hours before Poseidon's horses get here, you Cosmo and Timmy must go on ahead to that castle over there," announced Ozma, " I have reason to believe that that castle is causing something strange to go on."
"So do we your highness," Timmy replied, "But we need a way over there because Cosmo almost drained his energy just getting us to the gates of the Emerald City!"
"You can take these," announced the blonde child. She was holding a pair of silver shoes on a red pillow, "They belonged to me once, and after my first trip here I thought I lost them in the desert for good. But I found them once more when I released my friends from the clutches of the evil Jester"
"I know who you are!" Timmy shouted, "You must be Dorothy Gale. I've heard about you in tales and I never thought that they were true. This is awesome!"
Timmy took the shoes from the red pillow, and slipped them on his tiny feet. Automatically they became shoes with Velcro and looked like something Timmy would wear every day.
"Come on, Cosmo! We're going to that castle over there!"
"Timmy, you don't even know how to use those shoes!" Cosmo protested.
"It may sound strange, but as soon as I put them on, I knew how to use them correctly."
So Timmy clicked the silver shoes three times, and repeated over and over to himself: "I wish I was in Poseidon's Tower in the Desert". After this occurred, he found himself and Cosmo on the stoop right in front of the main door. He was up close to it, and saw that the stoop was very narrow. He turned around and saw the Deadly Desert below the platform: it looked so eerie and un-welcoming. He looked farther to the horizon to see if he could see the "coast" of Oz, but he couldn't: everything was too far away.
Cosmo looked up to the right and saw a doorway that was fit for someone about his size; he guessed that there were passages that were only meant for tiny people.
"Timmy, look up there!" Cosmo shouted.
"What is it?"
Cosmo pointed up to the smaller doorway, "Maybe I should go through there. We'll probably meet somewhere in the Castle."
"Okay, you can go" Timmy replied.
Cosmo floated up to the smaller doorway, and opened it with the power of his wand. Timmy clicked the heels of his Silver Shoes three times and the door opened. He walked through straight into deep darkness. Only the light of the sun shone through the door, and when it closed, no light was to be seen. He clicked the heels of his shoes three times and they light up and cast a bright glow into the room.
The walls were bare; nothing hung on them, not even a picture. This started to scare Timmy. Then he came to the first stairwell, and it looked like it went on for miles. Timmy wasn't much inclined for walking up that far, so he clicked his heels again and he was quickly at the top of the staircase.
He progressed further into the castle, and suddenly saw a glimmer of light ahead of him. He ran further and faster towards the light, and found himself in a circular room that was most likely the courtyard. In the center was a pit with a piece of the Deadly Desert in the bottom. It's a good thing Timmy stopped himself; otherwise he'd fallen in and died!
Timmy let out a big shriek, and Cosmo wandered into the Courtyard.
"Ah!" Shouted Cosmo, "What's going on?"
Cosmo approached the edge slowly, and saw the pit. Suddenly open pipes burst out of the "sides" of the walls in the pit: water flowed out and started to fill up the pit! A slab of rock covered up the piece of the Deadly Desert at the bottom, and the water no longer soaked into the sand.
Finally it filled up to the top, and all was calm. A few seconds later, rings started to form in the water. This perplexed Cosmo and Timmy because there was no earthquake. Suddenly a giant dragon formed from water launched out of the pit! It shrieked into the air and came back down again breathing ice onto the lonely castle.
"I wish I had the power to fly!" Timmy shrieked as he clicked his shoes together. Then he turned to Cosmo and said, "I wish I had a Golden Staff!"
Cosmo raised his wand, and Timmy suddenly had a massive staff that was a giant rod with two glowing globes at the ends. Timmy jumped up and took to the sky. He chased after the dragon with his golden rod. Our hero was right on the tail of the dragon, and swung his staff all over the place.
Finally, he hit the dragon, and it went crashing down into the sand. It went up in smoke, there was only one problem: only half the dragon was destroyed and a stream of water lifted into the air from the pool in the courtyard, and trickled down to repair the rest of the dragon.
As the dragon approached the castle a second time, freezing things with it's ice-breath, Timmy was reminded of a wrecking ball and how it crushes a building by smashing into it. He got the ultimate idea: he would send the Water Dragon to crash into the castle, thereby destroying it and able to go on to the next world.
He followed the Dragon close behind to the castle. The Dragon started to lead Timmy on a chase through the entire plain. As he went by the castle he shouted: "Get out Cosmo!" The Fairy did leave, and Timmy was able to destroy the Water Dragon. As it swooped above the sands, Timmy followed it until it approached the castle again. He got his staff ready, and whacked into the dragon's tail. It went down crashing into the castle, and completely destroyed it in an array of icicles.
When the dark Castle was destroyed, the sky turned gold, and then went back to blue.
"I think we know what that means!" Timmy shouted.
"Yeah. What does it mean?" Cosmo asked confusedly.
"We can now go onto the next world! Come on, there's a green vortex where the castle used to be. Maybe it will take us to the Nine Kingdoms?"
Timmy and Cosmo floated into the gateway, and were off into the Nine Kingdoms of Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, and other princesses.

Cosmo approached the edge slowly, and saw the pit. Suddenly open pipes burst out of the "sides" of the walls in the pit: water flowed out and started to fill up the pit! A slab of rock covered up the piece of the Deadly Desert at the bottom, and the water no longer soaked into the sand.
Finally it filled up to the top, and all was calm. A few seconds later, rings started to form in the water. This perplexed Cosmo and Timmy because there was no earthquake. Suddenly a giant dragon formed from water launched out of the pit! It shrieked into the air and came back down again breathing ice onto the lonely castle.
"I wish I had the power to fly!" Timmy shrieked as he clicked his shoes together. Then he turned to Cosmo and said, "I wish I had a Golden Staff!"
Cosmo raised his wand, and Timmy suddenly had a massive staff that was a giant rod with two glowing globes at the ends. Timmy jumped up and took to the sky. He chased after the dragon with his golden rod. Our hero was right on the tail of the dragon, and swung his staff all over the place.
Finally, he hit the dragon, and it went crashing down into the sand. It went up in smoke, there was only one problem: only half the dragon was destroyed and a stream of water lifted into the air from the pool in the courtyard, and trickled down to repair the rest of the dragon.
As the dragon approached the castle a second time, freezing things with it's ice-breath, Timmy was reminded of a wrecking ball and how it crushes a building by smashing into it. He got the ultimate idea: he would send the Water Dragon to crash into the castle, thereby destroying it and able to go on to the next world.
He followed the Dragon close behind to the castle. The Dragon started to lead Timmy on a chase through the entire plain. As he went by the castle he shouted: "Get out Cosmo!" The Fairy did leave, and Timmy was able to destroy the Water Dragon. As it swooped above the sands, Timmy followed it until it approached the castle again. He got his staff ready, and whacked into the dragon's tail. It went down crashing into the castle, and completely destroyed it in an array of icicles.
When the dark Castle was destroyed, the sky turned gold, and then went back to blue.
"I think we know what that means!" Timmy shouted.
"Yeah. What does it mean?" Cosmo asked confusedly.
"We can now go onto the next world! Come on, there's a green vortex where the castle used to be. Maybe it will take us to the Nine Kingdoms?"
Timmy and Cosmo floated into the gateway, and were off into the Nine Kingdoms of Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, and other princesses.
