Soon, Elphaba, Glinda, and I were separated from the others—Fiyero, Boq, and Lion. The three of us exchanged a glance and continued fighting. I wasn't going down—not without a fight—the others could see that quite clearly in my eyes and some of them still didn't think of me as a warrior.
Glinda glanced over and saw someone trying to sneak up behind Elphaba and screamed, "Elphie! Watch out!" Glinda, Fiyero, Boq, Lion, and I all watched, horrified, as the man prepared to stab Elphaba. Suddenly, my legs unfroze, and I knocked Elphaba out of the way, and barely had time to defend myself. I glared at my opponent. and then I noticed he'd slashed my arm. I growled. Now I was mad. Elphaba stared at me and whispered, "You saved my life." Then Glinda pointed out it was the second time I'd saved her life, and said, "Again."
The others quickly helped me push the people trying to destroy Oz back again and again. I suddenly had an idea, and grabbing Elphaba, hissed, "Follow my lead. I have a plan." Elphaba watched as I scrambled up a tree, followed by several of those fighting against us. I led them higher and higher and then defeated them—I made them think I was running away—I wasn't.
Elphaba, Glinda and I soon managed to fight our way back over to the guys who were holding up fairly well—all things considered—we were way outnumbered and they weren't fighting fair. Elphaba, Glinda, Scarecrow, Lion, and I soon defeated those against us when I realized that Madame Morrible was their leader and that I'd killed her—without their leader, they all panicked, which made defeating them just too easy.
