Let's head back to Foundation Prime and see how the big bad Vortech is doing.
Back in the Foundation Prime, Vortech's temple was about to finish self-assembling. He created minions made out of dimensional energy to assist him. They placed the three Foundation Elements (Kryptonite, the One Ring, and MetalBeard's treasure) in the center of the temple. When his temple was finally complete, Vortech creates a throne and sits down.
A rift opens and drops off Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion.
"Ah, good guys?" started Vortech.
Scarecrow looks at Vortech and says, "I might be a villain."
"Ignore him," said the cranky Tin Man.
The minions started dragging Dorothy and her friends away.
"Thank you. To the left please," ordered Vortech. He looks at Dorothy and says, "Oh, and you won't be needing those lovely ruby slippers anymore my dear."
One of Vortech's minions take Dorothy's slippers before locking her up in a cage. Aside from Dorothy and her friends, Robin, Frodo, and MetalBeard were also locked in cages.
Robin looks at the young girl. "Have you got any idea where we are or what's going on?"
"I know it's not Kansas," said Dorothy. "They took my slippers."
"They took my ring, too," said Frodo.
"And the Kryptonite I was holding," added Robin.
"And my treasure chest of ill-gotten booty," added MetalBeard sadly.
"Don't worry, MetalBeard. We'll get it back," said Robin, pounding his fist to his other hand, showing how determined he is.
"Aar?" MetalBeard sounded happy that Robin wants to help him reclaim his booty.
"And then I will have to return it to the rightful owners," said Robin.
MetalBeard says "Aar" sadly, bummed that Robin won't be returning his treasure to him.
"Excellent. Place them with the other elements," ordered Vortech.
One minion did as Vortech said and placed the ruby slippers in the center of the temple along with the other Foundation Elements. Vortech grabs his staff and levitates the elements in the air, placing them in their designated places. The dimensional warlord started laughing.
Another rift opens. Coming out of it is Joker from the DC Comics dimension and Saruman the White from The Lord of the Rings dimension.
"Bad guys? Excellent," said Vortech. "To the right, please."
"I am Saruman the White. I am not a 'bad guy'," said Saruman, claiming to be a saint.
"Pff! Please." Joker was not convinced.
Vortech pretends to shake in fear and says, "Look! Sauron!"
Saruman immediately turns around and bows before the Dark Lord. "My Lord Sauron, it is I, your faithful serv-"
Joker started laughing, amused that Saruman fell for it. The wizard saw that he was tricked and looked back at Vortech. Embarrassed, Saruman hangs his head in shame.
"To the right, you say?" Saruman asked Vortech.
"If you don't mind, you'll find lots of fun weapons, and we can offer you some excellent opportunities to use them," said Vortech, pointing at the pile of weapons.
Two of Vortech's minions were inspecting the weapons. One of them loaded a plunger onto the plunger blaster. He fires it and hits his fellow minion.
"Well, we'd have to be crazy to refuse that offer," said Joker, excited.
Joker shoots a strange, funny-looking at Vortech.
"Mmm?" Vortech didin't understand what Joker meant.
"That means we're in," clarified Joker.
Joker and Saruman head over to the pile. Excited, Joker jumps into the pile like he's jumping into a swimming people, eager to test the weapons.
I know I didn't really change anything about this cutscene from the game, but that was my intention.
