The Bounty of Oz Chapter 6:
After our heroes had made it out of the Shitake Mushroom Meadows, they contiuned along the path to Planet Mars (jesus why do I have to always state the obivious, why can't the author come up with a more creative way to say things) anyway, thanks to a unorthidox Priest and a wizard in disguise, they were able to contiue on their journey. (Insert Indiana Jones Theme). They kept on walking until they saw a great ruby palace, that shone brightly through the sky. They had finally reached their destination, Planet Mars.
"We're here, we're finally here, this can't be too good to be true." Faye exclaimed.
"Yes! Lifetime supply of cigarettes here I come!" Spike said with glee.
"Now I can finally redeem myself." Jet added.
"Ein and Ed now have a chance to go home!" Ed said happily.
They all ran towards the ruby palace. When they got there, there was a big door blocking the way. Ed knocked on the door to see if anybody was inside. The tiny pothole on the front of the door was opened and a bald black man answered.
"Oh shit the IRS is here to get me!" he shouted.
He closed the door.
"We're not from the IRS." Faye said.
He opened the pothole again.
"Damn woman, you a fine lookin' mutha!" he said.
Faye twitched at the comment he made, but she kept her cool.
"Um, good sir what's your name?" Ed asked.
"I'm Dave Chapelle. Why are you guys doing here in Planet Mars?" he asked.
"We all came to see the Bounty." Jet replied.
"We were hoping he could help us with our problems" Spike added.
"Hmmm, well I would like to stay and chat but the Bounty needs me, bye bitches!" he said.
"Oh no please Dave-Dave, see Ein and Ed would like to get home and well, we miss our family and Ed and Ein want to see them again. We have to go home, otherwise, they would get sad and lonely and I don't want to do that to them, please let us in Dave-Dave." Ed cried and pleaded.
Dave was crying too, he felt bad for the little girl and her friends. He opened up the pothole.
"Oh alright, you can come in, your story touched me." He said.
"Oh thank you Dave-Dave!" Ed said.
They walked inside and saw that palace was more of a village than a castle. They were amazed at what they saw. There were people working, shopping, walking around, and having a good time. It was a big party practically. All of it was going fine until a big cloud of smoke appeared. The Wicked Witch of The West Julia had appeared. Everyone ran the other way. The group tried to escape her, but she trapped Ed and Ein instead. Ed immediately recognized her.
"Oh good witch why are you doing this?" Ed asked.
"You idiot, everyone knows that there is no good witch, just the good wizard! Now I will take those ruby goggles of yours if you don't mind." She said grabbing the goggles off of Ed.
"Farewell, he, he ,he, he!" She laughed her horrible cackle laughter.
Ed sat there crying. Everyone walked over to her to comfort her.
"I thought she was good. I didn't think she would do that." Ed cried.
"Let's go see the Bounty he might be able to help us." Faye said.
Faye picked Ed up. Dave signaled them to follow him. They were all being led through a strang corridor.
"This is where the Bounty resides. I have to go." Dave said.
Spike and Faye were not exactly impressed and Jet was just confused. Ed walked up to the contraption.
"Hello, Mr. Bounty man?" she called out.
Ed moved out when a puff of red and orange smoke came out. Everyone was scared and nervous. The voice didn't help matters either.
"Who goes there!" His voice boomed.
Ed slowly but catiously walked up to the cloud of smoke.
"Mr. Bounty sir, we need your help, my friends and I were travelling here to meet you, but then something horrible happened." Ed nervously said.
"Yeah, yeah, I know, the Wicked Witch took your Ruby Goggles." He said.
"Hey, how did you know that?" Spike asked.
"It was all over C-SPAN. Let me put it this way we've been expecting all of you to come. You guys are celebrities here, in the strangest way." He said.
"How are we celebrities?" Faye asked.
"We've been watching you guys in the town square, everybody loves you guys." He said.
"So all of this was just a big reality show?" Jet asked.
"Not quite, it was more of a test,to see if you are worthy, but thanks to the horrible timing of that witch, now we have to get the Ruby Goggles back. Those Ruby Goggles were meant to be given to Ed by the Good Wizard of the East, but Julia captured him and took them away from him and she maqueraded as the good witch to trick poor Edward. Now we have to get those Ruby Goggles back, the good Wizard would greatly appreciate it." The Bounty said.
"All right, guys we're going to Julia's stronghold and take back what was stolen from the Wizard." Ed declared.
"We're coming with you, after all you helped us out without any regard for your own safety." Faye said.
"And you're okay for a kid." Spike added.
"And you're a very nice little girl, who also has a very smart puppy." Jet chimed.
"I know all of you can do it, but be careful, the witch is not as stupid as she seems, though she does seem that way because she is blonde. I wish the best of luck for all of you and I have my best division of the army at your disposal." The Bounty said.
"Thank you good sir, we won't fail you!" Jet said.
"I'm ready to kick some ass!" Faye said.
"I'm taking back what was stolen from me, right Ein?" Ed said. Ein barked in concurrence with Ed.
