After a little while, our heroes had finally arrived at the massive, towering, darkened structure known as the Gnome Kingdom.
"...took us long enough." Oilspot snarked.
"Boy, you could say that again." Daniel replied.
"Hold up!" Bebé extended her arms as if to create a barrier. She even pulled little Toto II back...for something was looking at them.
That something in particular somewhat resembled a munchkin. He was rather fat, however, and purple-colored. This creature also wore square-shaped glasses, clogs, and a striped shirt with overalls, as well as a hard-hat.
"Oh, youʼre kinda cute, little feller!" Bebé twisted his beard a little, letting it go with a *bong!* "...whatʼs your name, anyway? Twinkleshine? Butterbean? Saucy-pants? Is it Saucy-pants?"
"I'm a Gnome. And, the name, is
CRAMBERT, FYI!" The little gnome
exclaimed.
"Ppft, oh like thatʼs any better.." Bebé shrugged.
"Yeah, heʼs sooooo wittle!" Wichita smiled.
Toto II licked Crambert, much to his chagrin.
"...AND YOU AINʼT A-GOINʼ NOWHERES!" This "Crambert" person pressed a button on the side
of a wall, which dropped a massive cage on our four heroes...plus a smaller cage on Toto II.
"Whatʼs the matter, short stack?" Bebé asked, completely unfazed by the massive cage. "Did we huwt youw feewings?"
"No..." Crambert said, sharpening a massive axe atop a chainsaw. His eyes grew crazy. "But OH HO HOOOOO!! When weʼre through with you, the only thing theyʼre gonna find, IS YOUR FREAKINʼ—"
"ATTENTION, LITTLE PEOPLE!!" One of the gnomes said in a booming voice. "HIS MAJESTY REQUIRES WE MEET HIM POSTHASTE IN THE GRAND HALL!!"
"Donʼt you go anywhere!" Crambert snarled at Daniel, Bebé, Oilspot, and Wichita.
"...what a dingle." said Oilspot.
"YOU WATCH YOUR MOU—" Wichita started when Daniel covered her mouth.
"No, sheʼs right, look you guys.." he pointed in the direction of a bright, silver skeleton key.
Daniel grabbed the key and slowly turned it, until the lock fell to the ground, and the cage door opened up. Immediately everyone got out,
and looked around—Daniel also
released Toto II.
"That was easy." said Wichita.
"See, what did I tell ya?" Oilspot smiled. "Only a straight-up dingle would leave that key unguarded.."
"Word." said Bebé.
"Word." said Daniel.
"RRAF!" Toto II barked.

As the horn continued to play throughout all the lines and tunnels created by the gnomes, they all stood at attention.
"All hail!" A gnome poked his head out at the sound of a horn.
"All hail!" Two more gnomes came out from digging more holes.
"All hail!" A female gnome said.
"All hail! All hail! All hail! All hail! All hail!" Multiple gnomes emerged from their dwellings and gathered in one singular line down to the main hall in the Emerald City.
"All
HAAAAAAAAIIIILL
LLL...
THE-POW-ER-OF-
THE-GNOME
KIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!"
The gnomes raised their hands to the skies, where a Sistine Chapel-like painting adorned the ceiling. It was of the Gnome King, a rather
overweight, purple gnome dressed in royal finery and a golden crown
covered in every gemstone
imaginable.
"All
HAAAAAAAAIIIILL
LLL...
THE-POW-ER-OF-
THE-GNOME-
KIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!"
The gnomes gathered on one spot, creating two singular lines of thousands of gnomes, and started marching in place.
"If you donʼt
HAAAAAAAAIIIILL
LLL...
THE-MIGHT-Y-
POW-ER-OF-THE-
GNOME
KIIIIIIIIIIIIING..."
"Youʼre dead." said one, singular Gnome. "Simple as that."
Multiple gnomes appeared, one rolled out a red carpet, then went around a total of 50 Gnomes playing a fanfare. Then, the other gnome opened a cage, releasing multiple white doves into the air as the Gnome king showed up, and
placed diamonds on the carpet for
the king to walk upon (which didnʼt
harm his feet one bit).
"ALL...(pant, pant) HAIL THʼ KING!!" The gnome exclaimed before collapsing to the floor as the Gnome King continued to walk by, getting stepped on by the King as well.
The Gnome King was a very fat, ugly, dark purple-skinned creature that looked like the other gnomes. He wore a massive golden crown on his head, with every jewel known to man, and royal blue robes with ermine trimmings.
"Okay.." He said. "Okay, Okay, Iʼm RRRREADY FOʼ MY CLOSE-UP! BRING ERʼ IN!!"
A much smaller gnome arrived, bringing something tall and bound by rope over to the Gnome King. He took the bag off the face of the thing, revealing it to be none other than DOROTHY!
"...mom!" Daniel whispered.
"Well, what kinda trash dʼwe got
here?! Dorothy Gay-le, How ya doinʼ? Namesʼ the Gnome King, I apoligize for the state of my kingdom, no, wait, I DONʼT!!" The Gnome King laughed, spilling his glass of Chardonnay on one of his minions.
"CAUSE I DID IT ALL, SEE? WOO-HOO-HOOH! Aaaanywho, since youʼre in the hood, might as well make yourself...a-comfortable.."
The Gnome King started to gaze at Dorothyʼs bosom, when she looked down too, and felt violated.
"AAAUGH!" The Gnome King
exclaimed as she kicked him in the batteries. "Tie up her legs, would ya?" He held his crotch in pain.
The Gnome Kingʼs minions immediately obeyed.
"And get her seated, for Iʼve something to show her that might, a-make her go to our side."
