This is my final chapter of Defying Gravity. This is the very memerable scene where Elphaba will finally furfill everything she was meant to do.
Suddenly there was a loud bang at the door. A strong, masculine voice yells "Open this door, in the name of his supreme Ozness!"
It doesn't matter; I can get out of here thought Elphaba. "Ah May Ah Tay Ah Tum Ditum"
Glinda protestantly spoke "What are you doing! Stop it! That's what started all this in the first place... that hideous levitation spell! Stop! . . . Well, where are your wings? Maybe you're not as powerful as you think you are."
She's right Elphaba thought. I am not powerful enough to overcome the Wizard. Maybe Glinda is right, maybe I can't make good out of this. "Sweet Oz!" Glinda exclaimed. Elphaba looked across the room to see the broomstick she had laid down to barricade the door floating toward her. Overcome with joy she exclaims "I told you Glinda, didn't I tell you!" The broom floated right into her hands.
Everything. Everything I have ever wanted. I may not get it through the Wizard, but I can achieve it, can't I? It will be hard alone. Wait, Glinda! "Quick get on!" "What!" Glinda replied.
"Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been
Glinda!
Dreams the way we planned 'em"
"If we work in tandem."
Elphaba looked to Glinda and saw that she was experiencing the same emotions. Elphaba nearly burst with joy when she saw Glinda join her hand on the broom. Together, we can make it! Together we can succeed!
"There's no fight we can not win,
Just you and I Defying Gravity
With you and I Defying Gravity
They'll never bring us down!
Well, are you coming?"
Together, we can have everything we've ever wanted. Together we can overcome the Wizard. Glinda and I can do it, I know we can!
Glinda looked deep into Elphaba's eyes, "Elphie, your trembling." She looked around and found a black cape that so perfectly went with her outfit. "Here, put this around you" Such a funny attire, thought Glinda. Wearing the black boots, a black full body dress, the ridiculous hat that Glinda gave her as a joke, and now dressed in a cape was shaking. Glinda could not specify whether it was from anger, from joy, or from some other source. Glinda knew she could not go with Elphie; it was saying good-bye that was so hard.
"I hope you happy" Glinda started,
"Now that you're choosing this."
"You too,
I hope it brings you bliss"
And then, together, conquered by emotion, they looked into each others eyes. They were best friends, a dynamic duo so to speak. They embraced as they said there good-bye.
I'll see you again thought Elphaba. I pray to Goodness that I will see you again thought Glinda.
"I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it!
I hope you happy in the end!
I hope your happy, my friend"
The door made a thunderous crash. The door, thought Elphaba, the guards. There inside. Elphaba ran to the back of the room, holding her broom.
"There she is!" "Don't let her get away!" shouted the guards. They grabbed Glinda and held their axes to her throat.
"Stop!" cried Glinda, "What in Oz! Let go of me, do you hear! Let go of me!" Glinda was sobbing for the guards were all to ready to use their axes.
No, thought Elphaba. You will not win this. I have come this far, I can take you on. Glinda, I do this for you and me. I hope her path crosses mine again . . . it's time to take my place. It's time to stand up for what's right. It's time . . . I leap!
"It's not her" cried Elphaba "She had nothing to do with it!
I'm the one you want!
It's me!"
"Elphie!" Glinda called.
"It's Me!"
Elphaba leaped onto the broom and thrusted forward. The guards were blown backward by the force of which she came forward. Elphaba looked once more at Glinda, and then flew out the window into an Ozian sky. Glinda, she thought, I will tell you how to get to me.
"So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
'Everyone deserves the chance to fly!'
Everything, she thought. I am achieving everything I've ever wanted. As the new crowned Witch flew high above Oz as a symbol of defiance, of truth, and of justice, those below feared. Out of all the fear, however, the greatest lied with the Wizard. Elphaba had done what is right, and it is said that good will always triumph over evil. As the Witch flew above Oz, good had conquered; truth had won; and now Elphaba had done the greatest deed ever. This Wicked Witch had given everything up for what is right. By becoming Wicked, she had been redeemed.
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna' bring me down!"
People rushed from their stores, from their schools, and from their houses. It was a rare occasion to see someone so evil wondering throughout Oz. The Ozians looked up to see, a Wicked Witch gliding among the air! Amazing, simply amazing. She was truly among the clouds, this being they called a Witch. She said she was going West. Why would she go west? There is nothing west beside the uncivilized Vinkus country. Terrible place. So she is to be a Wicked Witch from the West. What horrors will she bring? She'll murder our children, ruin our crops, and kill the innocent. She must be brought down; she must be brought to justice! I must rally my fellow Ozians against this Wicked Witch of the West!
"Look at her she's Wicked! Get Her!"
"Bring Me Down"
"No one mourns the Wicked!
So we've got to bring her,"
"Aaaaahhhhh!""Down!"
The End
