Last chapter guys!
In the Emerald city, Glinda and Fiyero were in a prison cell… again. "Fiyero, do you think we'll ever see Elphie again?" Galinda asked while crying.
Fiyero put his hand on her shoulder. "Glinda, don't lose hope. Who knows, she might be flying over here on her broom now to save us!"
"You really think so?" Galinda asked looking a bit more herself.
"You never know." Fiyero replied.
Little did they know, the green witch really was flying over there to save them… on a chair. Oh, I really hope those two aren't in too much trouble! She thought steering the chair as fast as it would go.
The small wooden chair that Elphaba was riding around on was not nearly as aero dynamic as the broom, and it was seeming to go REALLY slowly. "C'mon faster you- you SNAIL!" Elphaba shouted in frustration.
She shouted that so loudly that some people below her heard. They looked up. "LOOK! It's the witch!" One man shouted.
Oh NO! Elphaba thought. I'm done for!
Much to her surprise, though, she heard a female voice say "It's ok dear, we don't have to be frightened, she's Elphaba. Haven't you heard about Glinda the good's speech?"
"Did you say Elphaba? Where? Another male voice asked.
The whole village was suddenly up in arms. "LOOK! It's Elphaba, and she's flying on a chair!"
The green woman hovered in the air for a moment shocked by everyone's reactions. "Um… hello everyone!" she said shyly waving at the gathered people.
The crowd below clapped and cheered as if Elphaba was a hero. The green girl was confused, and then she remembered the speech that Glinda had given to the people in the Emerald city. So that's what's going on! The people of Oz don't think I'm wicked anymore! Elphaba thought. That's' just too good to be true, though…
Elphaba continued flying as fast as witchly possible to find her friends.
After what felt like forever, Elphaba could see the Emerald city glimmering in the distance. Ok, I can't take this anymore! I'm getting a broom. Elphaba landed the chair in a town near Shiz University. "Look! It's Elphaba!" someone shouted. "Where?" another person asked. Soon, the town was all a flutter about Elphaba being there.
A teenaged girl came up to her and asked "Why are you flying a chair?"
Elphaba actually laughed a little bit. "Because I don't have my broom! Do you have one I could borrow? I really need to get to the Emerald city to save my-"
She was cut off by the girl's brother. "Fiyero and Glinda the good? We all know! All of Oz knows, and we're all rooting for you Elphaba!" he said.
"Wow, really?" Elphaba asked.
"Yes; and the entire Emerald city are protesting against Fiyero and Glinda's imprisonment! Please, take this broom; you need it more than I do!" an elderly woman said. She handed Elphaba a broom, and the green woman quickly enchanted it to fly.
"Thank you, all of you for the support!"Elphie said before taking off.
When she reached the emerald city, she realized that the boy had been right; everyone had signs and banners, and were protesting loudly. "LOOK! THERE'S OUR HERO! SAVE THEM ELPHABA!" someone said.
"YA!" everyone cheered for Elphaba, who was flying above the commotion. She blushed, not used to all of the attention, but continued flying in a businesslike manner. Her adrenaline was pumping. Elphaba was very nervous that she would not be able to save her friends, and let down all of Oz.
It seemed like both a matter of seconds and a lifetime to Elphaba between the time that she arrived at the emerald city, and when she reached the palace. The green witch landed on Glinda's balcony, which she had done countless times. She opened the door, and went inside carefully, so as not to alert anyone inside.
This is a really Bad idea. Elphaba thought. Someone's going to find me… She looked up. Unless…
The ceilings of the emerald city palace were known for being extremely high, and decorated with chandeliers and other decorations of grandeur. Elphaba's plan was to fly high to the ceiling on her broom away from any people.
She went to the door of Glinda's suite, and opened it once again cautiously. She then took to the ceiling flying swiftly, but quietly. This place is huge! I don't know where the dungeons are! Elphaba turned a few corners, and went down a few staircases trying to make her way down.
"Look! There she is!" a gruff voice said. "After her!" another shouted. I'm doomed! The Gale Force was after Elphaba. Madame Morrible had probably put them on guard to make sure exactly what was going on didn't happen.
Elphaba flew the broom as fast and as high as she could to try to escape them. She turned corners, and made confusifying movements. "Get her!" they were shouting.
After a long time of flying frantically around the palace, Elphaba reached a mysterious looking door. Wait a second, I remember this door, it leads to the prison! She thought. Sing a spell, Elphaba opened the door, flew inside, and then closed it, a thrown spear missed her by half an inch.
That was close! Unfortunately, the green woman's relief did not last for long. "LOOK! It's the witch!" a prison guard shouted. Oh boy, here we go again….
In their cell, Glinda and Fiyero heard the commotion, and began to get excitified! "It must be Elphie! We're going to be rescued!" Glinda squealed.
Fiyero had a look of excitement on his face for a moment, but then, it faded fast. "Glinda, she's in danger." He said.
"Don't worry, Elphie's got magic on her side, she can beat anything. Plus, she has a will stronger than an ox!"
Fiyero sighed. "You're right." He replied.
The ceilings in the prison were much lower than the ones in the palace, and Elphaba had a much harder time dodging the attacks surrounding her. Glinda was right however, she had magic on her side and was not afraid to use it! The green witch used her powers to shoot lightning from her hands at the solders, as well as fire balls. They used spears, and muskets, but the weapons were not as good as Elphaba's magic.
Elphaba dodged bullets and spears hurtling through the air. The broom could not fly fast enough to completely outrun the guards, so she had to fight tooth and nail using everything she knew about defensive magic. She was good, but not invincible. A spear grazed her arm, leaving a cut. Elphaba put up a shield, but it was fairly weak. She had never been good at that spell.
Glinda and Fiyero could only watch, wishing they could do something to help their green friend.
After a while, the guards began to panic. The entire place was practically on fire, and all they had managed to do was give Elphaba a few scratches and scrapes. After about twenty minutes of fighting a losing battle against, the powerful green witch, they surrendered
They dropped their weapons, burned and bruised and kneeled. "We surrender!" shouted to Elphaba. Glinda and Fiyero smiled, and then high fived to congratulote their friend.
"If you'll let me rescue my friends over there, we will leave peacefully." Elphaba offered.
"NO!" one shouted.
"Aright then, you've asked for it." Elphaba raised flaming hand at him.
"OK, OK! Take them!"
Elphaba landed the broom, and started chanting a spell that would break the metal bars, and free Fiyero and Glinda. It shattered, and both of its former captives ran out and hugged their best friend.
"ELPHIEEEEEE!" Glinda got there first, and squeezed the life out of Elphaba.
"Glin… You're choking!" Elphaba managed to get out.
"Oh, sorry…" Elphaba smiled at her friend, but then she was engulfed in a new pair of arms. "Fae! I was so worried about you!"
Elphaba rolled her eyes endearingly. "You were WORRIED?" she asked.
"Well, yes." Fiyero replied feeling foolish, as he so often did when he was with Elphaba. He didn't mind though. She just seemed to prove herself stronger every time he saw her.
"let's get out of here!" Elphaba suggested.
"We can take Bubbles!" Elphaba raised an eyebrow. "It's the safest way."
"Ok then." Elphaba agreed.
"All of Oz loves you know." Glinda reminded her friend.
"I know… I've got a plan."
"What is it?" Fiyero asked.
Elphaba discussed it with them while they got out of the dungeon, and back into the palace.
They went directly to Morrible the horrible's secret office, and busted in. Elphaba was ready with the Grimmerie. "What are you doing in he-"
Elphaba had cast the spell, and Morrible was asleep for eternity. High-fives were exchanged between the friends, and then it was time to go and find the wizard.
They all knew exactly where to look, because he rarely left his chamber where the citizens of Oz visited with their problems, as Elphaba and Galinda once did. They opened the doors to the room, and as usual, the Oz head came to life. "Who goes there!" it bellowed.
"It is Glinda, Elphaba and Fiyero!" Glinda replied back, about ten times more bravely than she usually would.
The wizard came out from behind the curtain. "Ahh, it's you three…."
Glinda cut him off. "I want you to leave Oz. I'll make the pronouncement myself; the strains of wizardship have been too much, and you're taking an indefinite leave of absence. You'd better go get your balloon ready!"
The wizard looked shocked. "Why!?"
Elphaba sighed impatiently, but Glinda spoke up. "You ruined my best friend's life. And besides, no one likes you anymore anyway. Haven't you heard what the people of Oz have been saying? Well, actually I haven't, but Elphie here has. They want her to take over. Now, be gone!"
The wizard stumbled off, and the two witches, and Fiyero went off to Glinda's balcony where she gave speeches to the people of Oz. "Citizens of Oz, I have wonderful news! I am free, and The wizard will be taking an indefinite leave of absence, and I will take over ruling Oz!"
The audience clapped and cheered. A flower was thrown to Elphaba. "Three cheers for Elphaba, the hero of Oz!" a man shouted over the cheering.
"hip hip hooray!" they yelled. Elphaba's cheeks turned a deeper shade of green.
"Elphie," Glinda said, "it sounds like the people want YOU to be their new ruler!"
"Me? No, I couldn't. Not after being a fugitive for so long! They won't trust me… and I don't trust myself to do that correctly." Elphaba replied.
"Well then, maybe you'd like to be the princess of the Vinkus!" Fiyero got down on one knee. The crowd went silent. "Fae, I love you. You're the most amazing woman I know… I don't have a ring, but will you marry me?"
Elphaba pulled him to his feet. "Of course I will!" they had a long passionate kiss, and there was a collective AWWWW! From the audience.
"I will take over as Queen of Oz." Glinda told everyone. "And the first order of business, paint the Emerald City pink!"
Elphaba broke free from Fiyero's arms. "NO!"
"Just kidding! The first order of business will be to lift the Animal bans!"
The end! REVIEW!
There may or may not be a sequel…
