(The Victor of the Game)
*October 23rd, 1905*
*Nome Kingdom*
Nome King sat with anger as he began to blurt out many words while Kaliko watched everything unfold
"Rocketty-ricketts! Smudge and blazes! Hippikaloric!" Nome King had blurted out in fury as he jumped up and down in anger while Kaliko continued to watch his master throw a tantrum.
"Y-Your majesty! Surely these fools wouldn't solve the game that easily, right?! There's no way that they could have figured out that Ozma and the rest of the Ozians were green while the Ev Family were purple!" Kaliko had spoken out to Nome King as he was met with the little man giving him a rather annoyed look as he began to speak.
"No, I believe someone told Dorothy or Evardo the keys into beating the game…" Nome King had responded back while turning his direction over towards the ornament room that was located below his throne room.
"So, the purple ornaments are my dear children, right? I'm quite scared that I might get this wrong and ruin the game for everyone.." Evadne had spoken out to Dorothy while observing the purple glove ornament; however, Dorothy reassured her that this was in fact the correct ornament.
"Don't worry, I'm absolutely sure that this is the correct ornament and if it's not then we'll simply turn you back once the game is over" Dorothy had responded back to the Queen as this made the woman smile as she placed her hand on the ornament.
"So I'm supposed to call out Ev, right? Well, Ev!" Evadne had spoken out in a clear tone of voice and to her surprise, the enchantment on the purple glove ornament was broken and a sweet-faced girl, whose golden hair fell in a cloud over her shoulders, stood beside them.
"W-Where am I.." The girl had spoken out in confusion as she looked up to see her mother who was filled with joy and happiness.
"Evanna! My sweet Evanna! I've missed you so much, my dear daughter!" Evadne had cried out to her daughter as he wrapped her arms around her for a hug which was returned by Evanna.
"Mother, it's really you! I've missed you so much but what's even going on?" Evanna had spoken out in confusion and joy as she looked over to see Dorothy and Evardo approaching them as this made her smile.
"Big brother! It's you! I've missed you as well" Evanna had spoken out to her older brother as the pair had engaged in a warm hug together which made Dorothy smile.
"I've missed you as well and Nome King turned us into ornaments and there we remained until Dorothy and Billina freed us.." Evardo had spoken back to his sister in joy as this made her confused; however, she slowly understood.
"Really? I don't recall but I'm glad that we're finally free and where's the rest of my siblings? We gotta find them before it's too late" Evanna had spoken back to her brother while Evardo nodded his head in agreement.
"Our siblings are ornaments and we're finding them right now and remember, look for any purple ornaments and if you see any green ones, don't be afraid to touch them and call out Ev, okay?" Evardo had spoken back to his sister as she nodded her head in understandment.
"I see, well, I guess we should find them, big brother!" Evanna had spoken back while she looked over to see Dorothy which prompted her to walk over to her.
"My name is Evanna and thank you for coming out to save me and my family, if I had it my way, I'll allow you to marry my brother as a appreciation" Evanna had spoken out to Dorothy while letting out a smile as this statement made Dorothy blush madly.
"M-My name is Dorothy and it's a pleasure to meet you and I'm too young for marriage but I do appreciate the gesture" Dorothy had responded back while chuckling back as this made Evanna laugh as well.
"I see, well, if you ever wanna marry before Evardo finds someone then don't be afraid to tell my mother or even Evardo, okay?" Evanna had spoken back once more while Dorothy nodded her head as she began to speak once more.
"Alright, let's find the others! We're so close to beating this rather insufferable game!" Dorothy had spoken out in a proud tone of voice as she and everybody else cheered as they began to find the correct ornaments with such ease.
"Ev!" Evanna had spoken out in joy while touching each of the purple ornaments and a brilliant flash of light appeared thus breaking the enchantment spell.
There were four Princesses and four Princes, all looking very much alike but still different enough to tell them apart and they were diverse in size, standing in a row.
The Princesses were named Evrose, Evella, Evirene and Evedna, while the Princes were Evrob, Evington, Evring and Evroland.
"Welcome back, my siblings.." Evanna had spoken out with a smile on her face as she hugged each of her siblings thus ending the game; however, due to Ozma and the others turning into ornaments the game continued on as Dorothy was on the other side of the room.
"A green grasshopper, this should be it, please be right…Ev!" Dorothy had spoken out while placing her hand on the ornament and with that, Ozma had finally returned back into her natural stage which made Dorothy happy.
"Huh? Dorothy!? You've freed me! My goodness I can't believe it!" Ozma had spoken out in joy as she felt Dorothy hugging her warmly as she returned the hug back.
"Ozma, I've missed you so much! I've already figured out the game and all we need to do is free the rest of our friends but first…" Dorothy had spoken back to Ozma in a tone of joy while the two girls quickly walked over towards their destination and to Ozma's surprise, the rest of the Ev Family were successfully saved which brought a smile on her face.
"Wonderful! I see that you and Billina managed to save the Royal Family, right? I'm very happy to see this…" Ozma had spoken out to Dorothy in a tone of joy as she walked over to Queen Evadne and proceeded to introduce herself.
"My name is Princess Ozma of Oz, you must be Queen Evadne, we've came from the Land of Oz to save you and the rest of your family and it seems that my good friend has already done the job" Ozma had spoken out to the Queen in a polite tone of voice as she and Queen Evadne had shaken hands together in respect.
"It's a pleasure to meet you and my name is Queen Evadne if you have forgotten and I give you my blessings and gratitudes for heading out to save us" Evadne had responded back while continuing to shake hands with Ozma.
"We shall throw a huge celebration once Evardo is crowned the new king but first, we must save the rest of my friends before it's too late" Ozma had spoken back to the Queen as she suddenly had taken a good look around the room before turning her direction back to Dorothy.
"Dorothy, what was the color of the ornament I was turned into? If i can have that information then that would be wonderful" Ozma had asked Dorothy in a curious tone of voice while she waited for an answer.
"Green! Your color was green! If we can find more green ornaments than we will save Scarecrow and the others, isn't that great?!" Dorothy had responded back in joy as she and Ozma shared a warm smile together as Ozma began to speak yet again.
"Really? How wonderful! I can't believe the game was so simple yet challenging at the same time but let's not waste any time, shall we? Let's save our friends" Ozma had responded back to Dorothy as she was met with her friend giving her a thumbs up while nodding her head in agreement.
And so Dorothy, Ozma, and the Royal Ev family had successfully managed to restore Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Lion, Tik-Tok, and Hungry Tiger back into their natural selves; however, Nome King was clearly angry at this turn of events.
"Smudge and Blazes! They've won the game! Impossible! Cheaters! That I can tell you!" Nome King had roared in fury while Kaliko could do nothing but watch his master blowing a fuse while also agreeing with him as well.
"Cheaters indeed, I feel like you should teach them a lesson, Nobody double crosses you and gets away with it" Kaliko had spoken out in full support of his master as this made Nome King smile.
"Of course, you think I'll allow these fools to win the game that easily…" Nome King had spoken back in a rather sneaky tone of voice as he began to click the heels of the silver shoes to bring his enemies to him while back at the ornament room..
"I see, that must have been quite the journey in trying to guess the correct colors but I'm glad that everyone is safe and sound" Tin Woodman had spoken out to Dorothy in a tone of relief as he let out a sigh and looked over at the Royal family of Ev.
"And that must be the Ev family, right? Well, it's a pleasure to meet you all" Tin Woodman had spoken out while shaking the hands of each family member with such politeness.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, you must be Tin Woodman, right?" Evardo had spoken out while Tin Woodman nodded his head in agreement while Scarecrow began to speak.
"So, what's next? We've managed to beat Nome King's game so I'm wondering if we're finally gonna be free" Scarecrow had spoken out while Lion nodded his head in agreement.
"I'm on the same boat, oh it will be horrid if he were to break his promise, that I can tell you!" Lion had chimed into the conversation while Ozma quickly gave them reinsurance.
"He won't. I won't allow it. He shall accept his defeat and give up my silver shoes as promised" Ozma had spoken out to Lion and Scarecrow and just as when she said that, everyone in the ornament room was quickly transported into Nome King's throne room which surprised everyone.
"W-Where are we?!" Evanna cried out in confusion as she looked around before focusing on Nome King who had a very angered look on his face.
"Nome King! It's time to give up! We've won the game, fair and square!" Dorothy had shouted out to him while Ozma and everyone else nodded their heads in agreement.
"She's right, give me the silver shoes and allow us to be free or else.." Ozma had threatened Nome King as this made him get up from his throne while Kaliko was chuckling gleefully.
"It's gonna take more than that to sway our majesty, Buckle up! You guys are gonna be in a world of pain!" Kaliko had spoken out to the gang while letting out a cackle as he saw his master preparing to do away with his enemies; however, Dorothy and the others wasn't afraid at all.
"I'll ENSURE that I'll use the silver shows to blow you all to the farthest corners of this land!" Nome King had spat out in anger as he attempted to click his heels; however, Dorothy, Billina, and Scarecrow, had smiles on their faces.
"Oh really? How do you like your eggs, yolk or scrambled?!" Dorothy had spoken out to the monarch as she quickly had taken out an egg which belonged to Billina and quickly threw one at him while Billina and Scarecrow followed suite.
"You see that?! That's what happens when you mess with my friends! Take that!" Billina had spoken out as she quickly walked over to drop the egg on Nome King's foot which caused him to cry out in shock.
"My eyes! My eyes! I can't see! I can't see!" Nome King had cried out in fear while struggling to get the yolk out of his eyes.
"Scarecrow! Throw the egg at the floor!" Ozma had commanded her friend as Scarecrow did just that as he quickly thrown the egg on the floor.
"I-Impudent LITTLE…" Nome King spat out in his rage as he attempted to attack everyone; however, he slipped on the egg that was thrown by Scarecrow which caused him to fall on the floor.
"Y-your majesty! I'll save you!" Kaliko cried out as he attempted to help his master; however, Lion and Hungry Tiger quickly stepped in which scared the little nome.
"Oh dearr! I'm very hungry! I could eat a nome right now if my consciousness allowed me to, oh wait.." Hungry Tiger had spoken out in a devious tone of voice while Lion laughed at his remarks which made Kaliko admit defeat.
"I-I lose! I give up! Please don't eat me!" Kaliko had cried out as continued to beg for forgiveness while his master was on the verge of defeat.
"Now, take the silver shoes so we can return back to Ev!" Tik-Tok had spoken out as this prompted Ozma to run up to Nome King in hopes of taking off the silver shoes.
"I'll make sure that nodody evil ever touches these silver shoes again, that I'll guarantee.." Ozma had spoken out as she successfully took off the silver shoes which made everyone around her cheer in victory.
"Alright, everyone get close to me! We can't waste not one second.." Ozma had commanded her allies while putting on the silver shoes as she saw Dorothy, Billina Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Lion, Hungry Tiger, Tik-Tok, and the Royal Family of Ev had all gotten as close to each other as possible.
"Silver shoes, by my command, take us to the Land of Ev!" Ozma had cried out and with that, a brilliant flash of light appeared over our heroes and quickly transported them from the Nome Kingdom to the Land of Ev thus leaving the Nome King humiliated and defeated as many nomes were laughing at his defeat with some even cheering.
"Your majesty!" Kaliko had spoken out while gently helping Nome King back to his seat; however he was met with a very angry king as he cursed out so many bad words.
"Smudges! These FOOOLS! How dare they! I will return! I will get my revenge! I WILLL.." Nome King spat out in anger as he got up but unfortunately, the little king had slipped on some leftover yolk thus knocking him out cold for the time being which shocked Kaliko.
"Oh dear…" Kaliko muttered to himself as he was left to deal with the entire mess.
*Land of Ev*
Dorothy and the others had successfully made it safely to the Ev Kingdom which made everyone erupt in cheers and hugs.
"W-We did it! We did it!" Evanna cried out in joy as she hugged her family including her new friends.
"Maaan, I thought we were gonna be goners but we pulled through and it was all thanks to you, my new friends.." Evardo had spoken out while walking over towards Dorothy and gently kissing her hand which made the young girl blush.
"I-It was nothing! It was mostly Ozma with her quick planning" Dorothy had responded back while letting out a warm smile; however, there was one more thing.
"There's just one thing left…we must prepare for Evardo's coronation and the event will be held in seven days…" Evadne had spoken out to everyone in a tone of joy as Dorothy and the others nodded their heads in agreement.
The long journey in saving the Ev Family may be over; however, there was still one last thing and of course, it was to crown Evardo as the next King of Ev.
