Meanwhile, the group was still flying with ease, thanks to the Gump's new wings.
"So, uh, Gump, you, uh, wanna tell us about yourself?" Felicity asked as they flew through the night air of Oz.
"The last thing I remember is walking through the forest and hearing a loud noise," The Gump replied. "And now, here I am, flying through the air. What am I anyway?" he then asked.
"You're just a thing with a Gump's head on it." Dorothy replied.
"We built you and brought you to life so that you could take us to the Nome King to rescue the Scarecrow." Emily Elizabeth added.
"Yeah!" Clifford smiled.
"I may not last very long," The Gump said to them as he continued to fly in the darkness. "I don't feel too well put together."
"That's not good." Dot said.
"Uh, I'm sure you can stay put together if you believe that you will." Vaz said nervously.
"How do we know where to land?" Billina asked.
"She's right," Toto added. "It's awful dark down there."
"I think I see the Nome King's mountain straight ahead." Felicity spoke up, using her night vision.
"That's good." Estelle smiled.
"We should probably just keep flying until dawn," Max suggested. "That way we can all see where we're going."
"Sure, Max," Emily Elizabeth smiled. "That might be a good idea."
Mike began to look like he was about to lose it.
"Oh, uh, Mr. Gump?" Jack spoke up. "Can you keep flying straight ahead?"
"I don't think I could turn if I wanted to." The Gump told them as he kept on flying.
"Why don't we just fly back to Kansas?" Billina soon asked sleepily.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Toto yawned before he cuddled up to Dorothy.
"It's never that simple." Scruffy also yawned.
"I'm afraid not," Akito said as he lowered his bandanna to cover his eyes as he hugged Scruffy. "Let's get some sleep though."
"Whatever happens, I'm awfully sleepy right now," Dorothy said sleepily. "And I'm just glad I have my own head to be sleepy with."
"That's great, it'd be horrible if you had some other head." Vaz said nervously.
"Yeah, that would be like a nightmare." Vincent said tiredly.
"Good night, Mom." Jack wished.
Dorothy gave a small, warm smile from that. "Good night, Jack."
Clifford thought he saw the constellation of a bunny rabbit in the sky before looking down softly as he snuggled with Emily Elizabeth. "Daffodil..." he said to himself softly.
Emily Elizabeth frowned as she held Clifford close.
Meanwhile, Princess Mombi played her lute as she sat around, waiting for her Wheelers to come back, before she saw an angelic image in the room which made her smirk a bit wickedly. "Ozma. Nobody's going to help you," she then told the angelic image in mockery. "Nobody knows where you are. There's nobody left who even knows who you are. It's too bad that not even your precious old friend Princess Celestia could help you out as she's all the way in another world."
Ozma knew that Dorothy and the others would be able to save the day.
The Wheelers were soon following after the others from the ground.
"What are they?" Jack asked as he looked out to see the strange creatures.
"Wheelers." Tik-Tok replied.
"We have to stop them!" Misdreavus said as she looked out with them.
"And exactly how are we going to do that?" Snow White asked.
"Uh... Mr. Gump, can't you fly any faster?" Jack soon asked.
"Not unless one of you wants to jump off." The Gump replied as he kept on flying.
"None of us are jumping off." Scruffy said.
"'Cuz I doubt I could land on my feet from this." Snow White added.
The Gump soon looked down and began to purposely lead the Wheelers into the Deadly Desert. And where soon, one of the Wheelers ended up in the Deadly Desert. Most of them fell in the sand, becoming sand themselves and breaking apart.
"Deadly Desert! Deadly Desert!" The Wheelers panicked from their cruel fate.
"Ha! Got 'em!" Misdreavus smirked at the Wheelers.
"We are over the Deadly Desert, Jack." Tik-Tok then informed.
"We can tell, Tik-Tok." Dot said.
"Does anyone else hear the ropes loosening up?" Scruffy asked.
The pets all gasped at that with mild panic. "The ropes are loosening up!"
"Oh, this is bad!" Snow White yelped.
"Maybe they'll hold for a while?" Scruffy grinned nervously.
Jack soon gave a blanket to Dorothy and the others as they were still sound asleep.
"Let's hope so." Dot said.
Snow White shivered, but she soon snuggled up with Vincent and put on her sleep mask.
"You going to sleep too?" Misdreavus asked Snow White.
"I might as well," Snow White replied. "I can't run out and play at night in this condition."
"All right... Let's hope the Gump will stay in the air then." Misdreavus then said.
Scruffy, Clifford, Dot, and Toto then came to sleep with Akito, Emily Elizabeth, Estelle, and Dorothy.
'We better hope so.' Clifford thought to himself.
Everyone soon fell asleep as they flew along.
"Emily..." Mike whispered in his sleep. "Why can't you see I love you?"
Clifford seemed to hear that even while sleeping.
"I know you'll do a good job in looking after Emily Elizabeth, Clifford," A voice said in Clifford's dream. "You were always a great pet to her."
Clifford blinked as he soon seemed to be back in the city from where he and Emily Elizabeth used to live in when he was a teeny-tiny puppy in their apartment building.
"They say that love makes little things grow," Daffodil told him as she came out to him like a guardian angel. "And that's what it did for you, Clifford, now you're a big red dog."
"Daffodil." Clifford said softly.
"Hello, Clifford." Daffodil said to him.
The two seemed to come up to each other and nuzzled each other.
"Daffodil, I miss you so much," Clifford said. "I have a lot of great new friends, but you were always like a big sister to me."
"Yes, and you were like my little brother," Daffodil smiled. She soon felt a tear come down Clifford's right cheek. "It's okay, Clifford," she did her best to soothe him. "You and Emily Elizabeth are going to be okay... Even if I won't be there with you."
"I really miss you." Clifford told her.
"I really miss you too," Daffodil said softly. "I was also told that you made some new friends."
"Yeah..." Clifford replied. "Cleo, T-Bone, and Mac... Sometimes there's a dog named KC... I met a couple of cats once who reminded me of Flo and Zo."
"Aw." Daffodil smiled.
"I wish you could see our new house and new friends." Clifford said softly.
"I can though," Daffodil smiled. "I might not be there with you where you can see me, but I will still always be in your heart."
Clifford smiled back after hearing that. The two then shared a hug with each other.
"No matter what happens and whatever I said to you, I will always love and miss you." Daffodil whispered.
Clifford sniffled as they shared the tender hug, almost like a big sister hugging her little brother. The red dog's right ear soon twitched as he still heard the rope loosening.
"You must help Emily Elizabeth now." Daffodil told Clifford.
"I hope I can do it." Clifford frowned worriedly.
"And I think you will need to wake up now." Daffodil told him.
"...Goodbye, Daffodil." Clifford frowned.
"I'll see you soon, Clifford." Daffodil replied as she seemed to fade away.
Clifford soon woke up as he looked concerned for Emily Elizabeth's safety.
"Mom! Wake up!" Jack cried out to Dorothy.
"Guys, wake up!" The pets added to the others.
"Ugh..." Akito groaned before moving his bandanna.
"What's happening?" Dorothy asked.
"The ropes are breaking." Tik-Tok informed.
"Oh, no!" The kids panicked at that.
"Quick, we have to do something!" Jetta panicked.
"Yeah! Not panic!" Charley replied.
"Well, I don't see you doing anything!" Jetta retorted.
"I knew it!" Billina squawked. "We're gonna fall apart!"
"Not unless we do something!" Scruffy told her.
"Are we gonna land now, Mom?" Jack asked in concern.
Dorothy soon began to scream.
"Other side!" Clifford suggested. "The rope on the other side."
"I'll get it!" Jack replied as he reached for the rope, though he tilted a bit and almost fell out. "Help! Help me, Mom!"
"Oh, Jack!" Dorothy frowned as she began to help him.
"Thank goodness." Scruffy sighed in relief.
"Sometimes I wish I could fly!" Snow White yowled.
Jack's head soon came off and fell through the sky.
"Fly down," Dorothy told the Gump. "Jack's lost his head over the side. We'll save you, Jack!" she then called out.
"I wasn't made to make turns." The Gump replied.
Akito soon decided to use his magic.
"Try!" Dorothy cried out to the Gump. "You've got to try!"
"Well, all right," The Gump sighed. "Hold on, I'm not sure I know how to do this."
Akito then used his magic to help the Gump out a bit more. Estelle began to pray that everything would be alright.
"Hold on, Tik-Tok!" Dorothy cried out before she yelped as she nearly fell out.
"I am, Dorothy!" Tik-Tok told her.
Toto and Billina soon did what they could to help Dorothy as she almost fell out. "Hold on, Dorothy."
Max narrowed his eyes bravely and soon leapt off the side to go after Jack's head.
"MAX!" Emily Elizabeth cried out.
"Uh-oh," Mike muttered to himself, though covered his mouth with a smirk before he saw Emily Elizabeth worried as he felt hit on the inside somehow. "...But why do I feel so bad?"
"Don't worry, Jack!" Max called out.
"Huh?" Mike blinked as Max, of course, survived the fall.
"Gotcha." Max smirked as he held onto Jack's head before they seemed to fly up past the Gump.
"He got him!" Estelle said in relief.
"He's so cool!" Charley added.
"He sure is." Vincent nodded.
"Yeah, I guess he is cool." Mike grumbled, crossing his arms as his eyes flashed green some more.
"Can you hear me, Jack?" Dorothy soon called out to the pumpkin head.
"I feel awfully dizzy!" Jack cried out.
Max soon forced himself back onto the ride with Jack's head in his arms, securely, but was careful not to break the pumpkin as Dorothy helped them back inside. "Gotcha! And there we go." he then smiled in relief.
"Thanks, Mom and Mighty Max." Jack smiled in relief from that.
"No problem." Max smiled.
The Gump soon began to fall apart as the ropes got completely loose.
"Oh, no!" Max yelped. "I forgot about that!"
"Abandon ship!" Billina cried out as she flapped her wings.
"If I had a stomach, I know I'd be sick." The Gump head said to himself.
"This is bad!" Vincent yelped.
"Don't worry!" Emily Elizabeth told the others. "It'll get better!"
"You better hope it does!" Jetta glared.
"I'm sorry, Mom!" Jack cried out.
"It's all right, Jack!" Dorothy told him. "It can't be helped now!"
"She's right!" Vaz added.
The furniture soon fell down onto a snowy hilltop before the group began to fall in it next as their pets landed in their laps. Jack's body, Tik-Tok, the Gump, and Jack's head fell next.
"That was a novel experience, wasn't it?" The Gump head remarked.
"No kidding," Max replied. "At least we all had a soft landing. Uh, somewhat."
"Yeah, that's true." Emily Elizabeth said.
"Pick me up!" Tik-Tok cried out while stuck through the snow.
"Tik-Tok!" Dorothy gasped.
"Pick me up. Pick me up. Pick me up. Pick me up," Tik-Tok demanded until Mike decided to get up and help him out. "Oh, thank you, Mike."
"Jack, are you all right?" Dorothy soon asked.
"Why are all of you standing on your heads?" Jack asked back as his head was turned upside down.
"We're not," Jetta said. "Your head is just upside down."
"Where are we anyway?" Billina asked.
"The middle of nowhere probably." Toto muttered to himself.
Dorothy took a very long look all around until she realized where they were. "The Nome King's mountain."
"So we're close to him." Akito said.
"The Nome King," Tik-Tok said before he fell on his back in the snow, very close to the edge before Dorothy helped him back up. "Oh, thank you, Dorothy." he then said to the girl.
"Tik-Tok, you've got to be more careful." Dorothy told the robot.
"And what about the Gump?" Jack soon asked. "He's all in pieces."
"And good riddance!" The Gump pouted to himself. "I'm much happier just being a head."
"Let's put him back together." Estelle said.
"That might make him feel better." Max added.
"We should tie him back on the sofa," Dorothy suggested. "Then, at least, he could walk."
"Every head must have a body if it expects to get around." Tik-Tok remarked.
"Doesn't look like there's much of anyplace to get around to." The Gump replied.
"He's right." Scruffy said.
"This is terrible," The Gump sulked to himself, sounding almost like Eeyore. "Suppose I meet another Gump. I'd die a second time, of embarrassment."
"Gosh, and people say I'm pessimistic." Felicity sighed as she helped the others get the Gump back together.
"Gump, come on, cheer up; everything will be alright." Vincent said.
"I don't think you'll have to worry about meeting any other Gumps up here." Dorothy added.
"Tell me who you are, and why you have come all the way to my kingdom and what I can do to make you happy." A voice soon called out to them which made them look all around as they heard the voice.
"I'm outta here!" Snow White yelped as that scared her and she began to run away from the deep and scary voice.
"That depends, are you the Nome King?" Max asked the voice.
"Well, of course I am," The voice replied. "But who are you?"
"It must be the Nome King." Dot said to Clifford.
"Where is he?" Clifford replied as Snow White hid behind a rock and shivered like a coward. "I don't see anybody."
"My name is Dorothy Gale, Your Majesty," Dorothy spoke up. "And these are my friends, Akito, Estelle, Felicity, Vincent, Emily Elizabeth, Mighty Max, Jetta, Charley, Mike, Vaz, Tik-Tok, Jack, and the Gump."
"Not the Dorothy Gale from Kansas?" The voice asked the girl.
"Yes, it is, as well as some of her new friends." Vaz replied.
"Along with our pets and Pokemon." Akito said.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Dorothy added as she did her best to sound brave. "We've come to ask you to release the Scarecrow and restore the Emerald City."
"You believe that I have stolen something, Dorothy and friends, and you want me to give it back?" The Nome King asked as Billina hid inside of Jack's head, peeking out from one of his eye-sockets as she felt scared of the Nome King.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dorothy nodded.
"If someone steals something, you think they should give it back?" The Nome King continued.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dorothy repeated herself.
"And what if they don't want to give it back?" The Nome King soon asked.
Dorothy felt upset from that, but she tried to sound intimidating as she stood her ground. "Well, then we are here with our army to conquer you and force you to give it back." she then threatened as strongly as she could.
"Yeah, because we'll do it." Vaz nodded.
Toto soon growled as he stood in front of Dorothy protectively, despite being a tiny dog.
"Army?" The Nome King asked before laughing at them a bit.
"Mom, why is he laughing?" Jack asked Dorothy.
Suddenly, the ground shook a bit as some snow and rocks began to fall, almost causing an avalanche.
"We better bring out our Pokemon now." Akito said.
"I doubt they could stop this avalanche!" Jetta replied urgently.
The ground began to crumble and fall underneath the kids, taking them with it.
"Mom!" Jack cried out.
The Pokemon soon came out just as their trainers fell as they stood with their trainer's pet animals, standing with Tik-Tok, Jack, and the Gump.
"What happened?" Teddy asked.
"Th-Th-That Nome King came out..." Snow White shivered nervously. "A-A-And he laughed at the others! And he made fun of them for t-t-trying to have an army!"
"So where are our trainers?" Misdreavus asked.
"D-Down there," Snow White pointed out nervously. "My fur is standing on end! I don't think I've felt this scared since that run-in during that subway chase in New York City against Sykes!"
"We have to go and find a way in." Pupitar said.
"You do that," Snow White said nervously. "I'm just gonna stay here until Vincent comes back to protect me."
"Oh, no, you don't." Vulpix glared before dragging Snow White with him.
"Whoa!" Snow White yelped. "Let me go!"
"Guys, we have to go after them," Vulpix told the other Pokemon and pets. "It's our job to be loyal animal companions."
"That's right." Pupitar nodded.
"But I'm scared." Snow White shivered.
"Don't you think Oliver was scared when Jenny was in trouble with Sykes?" Scruffy replied.
"...Well, yeah..." Snow White admitted. "Who wouldn't be?"
"But he faced his fear anyway," Scruffy told her. "If Oliver could do all of that and survive, then you can help Vincent and help us help Vincent and the kids. It's what an honorable pet would do."
"You're right." Snow White sighed.
"Come on then." Vulpix replied.
"All right," Snow White said before leaping out over the edge. "Look out below!" she then called out as she came to fall after Dorothy and their kids.
The pets and Pokemon soon jumped after Snow White at that time.
"Geronimo!" The pets and Pokemon cheered.
