Chapter Twelve
The four spheres flew into the dark castle of Elda, the Vampire-Witch of the West, but once in the castle's throne room, the orbs still flew around.
"Hey!" Elda yelled as a sphere nearly hit her head.
"PallaPalla, where are you!" CereCere demanded loudly as she dodged one of the prisons, which almost hit her in a face.
The small sphere that was PallaPalla floated inton the room and changed into the blue-haired girl.
"Hi!" PallaPalla announced her presence.
"STOP THESE BALLS!" Elda yelled at the blue girl.
"All right." The girl mumbled as she summoned a cue stick. She spun the stick over her head, saying, "Balls, stop!" Once the girl yelled out the command, the flying prisons stopped in where each orb was. PallaPalla stopped twhirling the cue stick and held the stick, which was horizonal, in front of her body, yelling out, "Balls, line up!" The spheres flew in front of of Elda's throne. The girl spun the stick a little to being verital, shouting, "Balls, disperse!" The command destoryed the orbs, causing the prisoners to fall onto the stone floor of the throne room.
"Ow!" Dorothy muttered in pain, holding on the basket tightly.
"The feelings are entirely agreeable." Cerberus announced in pain.
"One of the advanages of being made of metal: No sense of pain." Jigen said, before he grabbed his hat that was on Tenchi's head and placed it back on his own head. "But not without a price."
Tenchi lifted himself off the floor and grabbed his hat and returned to its rightful place, saying, "This isn't going good!"
Dorothy looked at the throne and saw the evil witch, Elda, who said to herself, "I'm wondering why I don't send PallaPalla out more often."
"Uh, oh!" The human girl exclaimed, fearing the worst from the Vampire-Witch.
The others heard this and saw Elda.
"Dorothy can repeat herself." The winged lion announced, matching Dorothy's level of concern.
With a evil, shrill laugh, Elda said, "I have finally got you, you thief!"
Dorothy tried to protest her innocence of taking the sivler slippers.
"I didn't...!"
"SILENCE!" The witch roared at the girl.
The human stepped back from the witch, frightened by the yelled from the Vampire-Witch.
"Did PallaPalla do a good job?" The blue girl asked her master, stepping between Elda and the prisoners.
With a heavy sigh, Elda said with a forced smile, "Yes, you did a good job. Now, I must get the slippers off of that thief."
"Okay." PallaPalla said as she got out of the way.
"Now, give up the slippers, little girl." Elda yelled at Dorothy.
"Or what?" Dorothy asked the witch.
Elda grinned evilly as she gave a command to PallaPalla.
"PallaPalla, trap her friends and send to the over the Spiked Pits."
"Yes, ma'am!" The blue girl replied as a blue ball appeared. The girl used the cue stick to aim to the girl's allies.
"Oh no!" Cerberus yelled as he and the others braced for impact.
Then, Toto hopped off of the basket and ran off. Before Dorothy could yell the dog's name, PallaPalla exclaimed in pure glee, "Doggy!"
Toto heard this and ran from PallaPalla, who started chasing him, yelling, "Doggy! Doggy! Doggy!"
The Vampire-Witch of the West, VesVes, JunJun, CereCere, Dorothy, Tenchi, Jigen, and Cerberus saw this in disbelief as they watched the Ball Balancer chased the little, black dog out of the throne room to the hallway.
Elda placed a hand over her face and exclaimed, "Now, I remember why I don't allow her to go on missions!"
"Yeah." The sisters agreed, sighing loudly. Then, JunJun noticed that Dorothy, Tenchi, Jigen, and Cerberus were trying to sneak out of the throne room, forgetting the basket.
"HEY!" The green sister yelled at the group, who was trying to be quiet, running from them.
"After them!" CereCere shouted to her two sisters. The trio ran after the group.
Dorothy and the others ran into a room that was completely covered by plants, which looked strange and dangerous.
"This doesn't look good!" Cerberus said, not liking the plants' size or appearance.
"You don't like my beauties?" The voice of CereCere rang out to the friends, who turned to see the sisters behind them. CereCere spoke again.
"Well, my plants will like you...as targets!"
Then, several, large plants opened up. Jigen saw this and yelled, "RUN!"
The tin man's allies obeyed and tried to reach the other side of the room.
"Jigen," Tenchi asked , "what is so bad about flowers?"
"These flowers spit out bees!" The metal man replied.
"Bees!" The winged lion yelled out.
"Look!" Dorothy yelled, pointing at a door.
The friends stopped and opened the door, when they heard a buzzing noise.
"The bees!" Cerberus shouted as the bees became visible.
"Get out!" Tenchi commanded the others, "I'll hold off the bees!"
"What about you?" Dorothy asked.
"Don't worry about me," The scarecrow smiled, "Bees can't hurt me."
"But.." The girl tried to protest against her friend's decision, Jigen stopped her.
"It's his choose." The tin man announced, "Let's go."
Dorothy wanted to stay, but she knew that Jigen was right and ran out the room with the Jigen and Cerberus. Meanwhile on the other side of the plant room, VesVes and JunJun saw the others escape, while the scarecrow stayed behind.
"They're getting away!" JunJun announced, pointing at the opposite side of the room.
"Let's follow them." VesVes suggested, "CereCere, make sure that stuffed guy goes to pieces."
"Will do." The pink girl said.
Then, VesVes and JunJun changed into their ball forms. The flower magician waved her right hand, telling the plants to move on of the window, which allowed her sisters to leave the room.
Dorothy, Jigen, and Cerberus ran down the second hall and entered another dark room. This room was filled with cages and chains, which made Cerberus very nervous.
"What a depressin' room!" The human girl exclaimed in fright at the sight of the room.
"That depends on taste anyway." VesVes's voice echoed to the allies' ears.
"Dorothy," Jigen whisped into the human girl's ear, "get out of here."
"But...?"
Then, the sound of a whip cracking against the ground was heard, followed by the sound of beasts growling. The group saw the creatures, which looked dangerous and hungry.
"Cerberus!" The tin man yelled, "Get Dorothy out of here, now!"
"Right!" The lion agreed. Then, he turned to Dorothy and said, "Get on!"
Dorothy did not want to, but she have to, if she is to defeat Elda. She got on, and Cerberus flew off and out the room, leaving Jigen to battle the beast tamer's beasts. JunJun, still in her ball form, flew after the retreating duo.
Cerberus flew into a dark room, which looked like a training room.
"Dorothy," the lion said, "you'll have to go on without me."
"Cerberus..." Dorothy said with tears in her eyes, when JunJun's voice yelled out, "My turn!"
The two friends turned and saw not one, but several JunJuns.
"Ready to rumble?" One of the JunJuns. Another said, "There's no escape."
Cerberus bared his fangs before he said, "Dorothy, you must go!"
With tears streaming down her face, Dorothy ran out the room.
"Hey!" A JunJun yelled, while another JunJun shouted, "I said, 'There's no escape!'"
The acrobats went after the escaping girl, only to be blocked by the winged lion, who announced with a roar, "If you want Dorothy, you must defeat me first!"
Dorothy ran down the hall, crying for her noble friends, who threw themselves into the face of danger to allow to escape from the servants of Elda. Her thoughts were filled with her friends, until she heard, "Doggy!" The girl remembered that Toto was being chased by PallaPalla. As fast as she could, Dorothy ran to where the PallaPalla and Toto were, where was the kitchen.
"Come here, Doggy!" Dorothy heard PallaPalla, who demanding of the little dog, as the human girl entered the kitchen, "PallaPalla wants to play with you!"
Hearing this, Dorothy tried to rescue Toto from the ball balancer, but she slipped on a small puddle of water, which casued one of the silver slippers to fly off her foot. PallaPalla heard the fall, looked up, and saw the silver slipper flying at her. The blue girl exclaimed in fright, closed her eyes, and placed her arms in front of the her face, preparing for when the slipper hit her, but it never came.
"YOU IDIOT!"
PallaPalla opened her eyes and saw the furious face of Elda, who held the silver slipper in her hand.
"YOU STUPID GIRL! IF YOU HADN'T WANTED TO PLAY WITH THE DAMN DOG, I WOULD HAVE BOTH SLIPPERS BY NOW!"
Being insulted and yelled at, PallaPalla started crying, like a young child, and Dorothy saw this and became outraged. Dorothy never tolerated people, who would hurt children, and she has actuallu attacked people when they had harmed a child in front of other people. Dorothy's sadness converted into wrath, and she grabbed a bucket of water.
"Hey, bitch!" The girl yelled at the pink haired witch, "Time to cool off!"
Dorothy threw the water from the bucket to the witch, you screamed, "NOT THE WATER!"
The fluid projectile hit its mark and covered the Vampire-Witch, who started to melt.
"I'M MELTING!" Elda screeched out as her body changed into slime and steam. The screaming continued until there was nothing left of the Vampire-Witch of the West, except her dress, crown, necklace, and umbrella.
Dorothy watched the witch's death, and her fury turned to pure shock. Dorothy backed into a wall and fainted. Her limp body slid to the floor.
