(Mr. H.M Woggle-Bug)

*December 20th, 1900*

*Winkie Country*

A few hours had passed as The gang was flying over the Winkie Country as everyone was relieved to have escaped from Jinjur's army as their next mission was to see Glinda in hopes of asking her to restore Scarecrow's throne and tell Tip about his past.

"Gump is flying awfully slow! We're never gonna make it in time!" Jack Pumpkinhead had complained in a tiresome voice while Tip nodded his head in agreement.

"He's right, can't you fly any faster! We can't allow Jinjur and Mombi to do whatever they please so please hurry up?" Tip had spoken to Gumb in full support of Jack Pumpkinhead's words; however, Gump yawned rather loudly in response much to the annoyance of Tip.

"I can't fly any faster but I'm also tired as well since I've been flying for quite a long time so I might as well take a snooze.." Gump had responded back in a sleepy tone of voice as this panic erupted in the bed as everyone was on their toes.

"This isn't the time to be sleeping! You have one job and it's taking us to Quadling Country!" Scarecrow had spoken out to Gump with annoyance; however, it was worthless as the snores of the Gump could be heard as the bed suddenly descended towards the surface with great speed.

"Oh no! We're all gonna die! Wake up, Gump!" Jack Pumpkinhead had cried out in fear while Tip was slapping the bedpost in hopes of waking the creature.

"Come on! You've picked the worst time to be sleeping..: Tip had uttered out in shock as unfortunately, Gump had come crashing down on the land of the Winkies as this proved to be troublesome as the gang had no way of continuing on with their journey unless Gump woke up.

"Of course that idiot falls asleep at such a crucial moment during our journey.." Sawhorse had spoken out in annoyance while Tip and the others nodded their heads in agreement.

"You're right and I also should have taken Mombi's anosmia powder when I had the chance.." Tip had spoken out as he could do nothing but sit alongside Scarecrow and the others while waiting for Gump to wake up.

"Wait! My good friend, Tin Woodman, lives in Winkie County and I say we should pay him a visit and ask him and the Winkies if they could make Gump's flying faster" Scarecrow had spoken out as this idea made Tip and Jack Pumpkinhead's faces lit up in joy as they knew that things was gonna get just a little better.

"Really? If so then that's wonderful! We should get a move on but how should we deal with Gump? I kinda don't want to leave him all alone" Tip had spoken out in curiosity as Scarecrow had thought about it for a moment before deciding on his answer.

"If we had some rope then maybe we could pull the bed to where Tin Woodman's castle is but none of us is strong enough to sustain such a weight.." Scarecrow had answered back as it seemed like things were rather pleak; however a voice called out to them.

"Maybe I could be of use, hm? I may not look like it but I can surely and absolutely thoroughly provide you good people the strength to carry such a magnificent thing and who am I? My name is Mr. H.M Woggle Bug T.E '' Woggle Bug had spoken out to the gang while tipping his hat to show respect.

Woggle Bug had stood fully as tall as a man. The Woggle Bug had a great, round body with slender arms and legs, delicate feet, and toes that curl upward. His body is rather flat, the back being a glistening dark brown, and the front striped with bands of light brown and white and had a long neck, and his head is much like man's except that his ears and nose end in curling antennae. His black eyes are rather bulging, but his face is by no means unpleasant.

He also wore a dark blue swallow-tail coat with a yellow silk lining and a flower in the button-hole and white duck vest that stretches tightly across his body. His knickerbockers are of fawn colored plush and fasten at the knees with gilt buckles while wearing a tall, silk hat.

"Woggle Bug? I've never seen anything like it and are you sure you can help us?" Tip had responded back in a tone of suspicion while Woggle Bug nodded his head in agreement.

"Of course! I've been keeping a close eye on your guy's conversation and it seems that you guys need some assistance in getting to the castle, right?" Woggle Bug had spoken back with a gentle smile on his face as Tip had thought of this for a moment before deciding on his answer.

"Okay but we need some rope or anything to carry our good friend Gump to the castle, would you happen to have any and My name is Tip, nice to meet you" Tip had spoken once more to Woggle Bug while also introducing himself as this was followed by Scarecrow and Jack Pumpkinhead doing the same thing.

"My name Is Scarecrow and I'm the King of Oz, well formally since my throne was taken over by Jinjur but we're out to see Glinda, The Good Witch of the South so she could solve our problems" Scarecrow had spoken out while Woggle Bug tipped his hat.

"And my name is Jack Pumpkinhead and I'm just assisting my friends on their journey so I don't have any goals or desires" Jack Pumpkinhead had spoken to Woggle Bug as well as the creature tipped his hat once more while letting out a smile.

"Pleasure in meeting everyone! I hope to make everyone smile with joy but to change subjects, I was thinking that we should head over to the castle and as for Gump, I think someone should watch over him since there's no rope anywhere!" Woggle Bug had spoken out to everyone as this made everyone think about the possible plans for a few seconds as Sawhorse began to speak out.

"Well, I can watch over Gump while everyone else heads to Tin Woodman's castle and It should take you guys less than ten minutes" Sawhorse had spoken out to the gang as this was a huge relief to everyone.

"Really? That's a relief and I guess we can start heading to Tin Woodman's castle and be sure to watch over Gump, okay? We shall come back with the Winkies" Tip had advised Sawhorse while gathering his things as our heroes had officially started their journey to see Tin Woodman and the Winkies by walking towards west which is the location of the castle.

"Did you guys know that a young girl named Dorothy had killed the Wicked Witch of this area by dashing water on her and now the Winkies are free" Woggle Bug had spoken out while everyone nodded their heads as Scarecrow began to speak out.

"Of course, I'm good friends with Dorothy and she had told us and that was one of the happiest days in my life since Tin Woodman told me how horrible she was" Scarecrow had spoken out while Tip nodded his head in agreement as he chimed into the conversation.

"Mombi, my former master was also good friends with her as well which lead to me meeting Dorothy since we had to collect some potions from the castle but Mombi was pretty shocked to find out that her friend was dead" Tip had chimed into the conversation while Jack Pumpkinhead was listened to the trio's talk with great interest as the gang continued to make their way to Tin Woodman's castle.

*Emerald City*

The city had gone through quite the change as most of the boys and men were enslaved by Jinjur while the girls and women were free to do as they pleased as this was music to her ears.

"I've managed to convince the boys to build a statue of you in the gardens while also convincing another group of boys in changing the color from green to pink, does that suit your tastes?" Jellia Jamb had spoken out to Jinjur as the new queen nodded her head in agreement.

"Sounds good and where's Mombi at? I've haven't seen her all day? It's nearly evening! She'll miss dinner!" Jinjur had asked Jellia Jamb as the young woman had shrugged her shoulders indicating that she didn't know as well.

"I'm not sure but I can search for Mombi if you must and are you sure Mombi can be trusted?" Jellia Jamb had spoken out to Jinjur for the final time as she was met by Jinjur nodding her head.

"Of course! Mombi is the reason why I'm Queen of Oz and I want to reward her with a great feast so please be a dear and fetch Mombi for me, okay?" Jinjur had ordered Jellia Jamb while the young woman left the room thus leaving Jinjur alone with Rosy and Flora.

"Strange, Jellia Jamb is a woman yet she's working for you, why is that?" Rosy had asked her friend in a tone of curiosity while Jinjur shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know, Jelia just wanted to work with whoever was in charge and she also told me that I don't seem bad, just misguided but I disagree with her, I just want women to have a fair role in politics.." Jinjur had responded back before quickly snapping back into reality as she sat back on her throne while signing to herself.

"Potions Room*

Mombi was busy brewing many potions and other such things while laughing to herself as Jinjur ruling over Oz was simply a distraction for her to conjure up some rather powerful abilities.

"That fool Jinjur really thinks she can rule Oz, eh? WELL! Once this potion is ready to go than I shall use it to kill Jinjur and her army, Glinda, Locasta, and those blasted brats who always gets in my way than I shall become the most powerful Wicked Witch in ALL of Oz!" Mombi had cried out while laughing evilly to herself as she continued to stir her potion while thinking about her encounter with Locasta many years ago.

"I shall never forget my defeat at the hands of Locasta, The Good Witch of the North! I had power, wealth, and fame but NO! She had to swoop in and take away everything!" Mombi had ranted to herself as she continued to stir the potions with great motivation in her heart.

*Winkie Country*

Our heroes had finally made it to Tin Woodman's castle which was located in the heart of Winkie Country as the building was very beautiful in yellow and was quite lovely.

"Woow! This castle is wonderful!" Jack Pumpkinhead had spoken out in awestruck while Woggle Bug nodded his head in agreement.

"Indeed it is! This castle took roughly forty days to build! It's rich in yellow rocks and other such marvelous things!" Woggle Bug had explained to the group while Scarecrow knocked on the large yellow door as everyone waited for an answer as finally, a Winkie guard had opened the door and was surprised at the visitors.

"Y-Your majesty!? The boy who was with Dorothy!? What in the world is going on here?!" The Winkie Guard had spoken out in surprise as the guard was eager to get to the bottom of everything.

"We need to see Your Majesty, Tin Woodman.." Scarecrow had responded back in a serious tone of voice as this moment meant that the gang was one step closer to fixing Gump's flying abilities so that they could reach Glinda as fast as they could.
