(Ozma Uses The Silver Shoes)
*January 15th, 1906*
*Emerald Palace*
Ozma stood in front of her magic mirror with the hope of seeing Dorothy as she began to speak out to the magic object.
"Magic Mirror, Please allow me to see Dorothy Gale of Kansas" Ozma called out to the mirror as her reflection suddenly turned into the room of Dorothy, and to her surprise, nobody was there which surprised the young girl,
"How strange? I don't see Dorothy in her room. Perhaps she's staying with extended family for the time being" Ozma thought to herself as she turned around to leave her room; however, something compelled her to come back toward her mirror.
"Wait, Dorothy did tell me that she was staying with her cousin. How could I forget? Maybe I shouldn't bother her but I do wanna check up on her.." Ozma spoke out while facing the magic mirror and once more, she began to call out to the magic mirror.
"Magic Mirror, show me Dorothy Gale of Kansas! Wherever she might be!" Ozma cried out to the magic mirror as her reflection finally showed her friend; however, it wasn't a pretty sight as she and her friends were evading Aurora which shocked Ozma as she had a serious look on her face.
"D-Dorothy?! What in the world is she even doing in the Gargoyle Land and why is one of the Mangaboos chasing her?! I need to save them as soon as possible!" Ozma spoke out in a serious voice as she began to walk away from the mirror and stood there with determination.
"Silver Shoes! Take me to Dorothy and her friends!" Ozma commanded her shoes as a flash of light consumed her before sending her off to save Dorothy and her friends.
*Land of Gargoyles*
Dorothy and her friends were escaping from Aurora as many buildings were being destroyed during the rampage which proved trouble for Jim as the horse tried his best to avoid any rubble.
"I don't know how long I can do this! The princess seems to be hot on our trails! I just hope there's an exit soon" Jim cried out to his human companions in a worried voice while looking over to see Aurora chasing him with fiery eyes.
"As if I'll allow you annoying pests to get away! I will ensure that my revenge will come here and today Aurora spat out in vengeance while opening her mouth as a light appeared which made Dorothy's eyes widen as she quickly turned back to her friends.
"Everyone! Take cover! Aurora intends to…" Dorothy cried out in an attempt to warn her friends; however, it was too late as Aurora fired a powerful blast from her mouth and it was coming towards our heroes.
"O-Oh No!" Jim uttered as the impact of the attack managed to hit the horse and the carriage, destroying it in the process. It contained Dorothy and her friends as everyone flew out of the carriage before collapsing on the ground. Aurora watched the scene with a smile on her face as the fused princess walked towards the group while laughing to herself.
"Is that it? How pathetic! I will ensure that everyone's deaths are nice and slow. I will never forgive you outsiders for ruining my beautiful face.." Aurora spoke out to the group while walking towards the group to see Zeb, Betsy, and Oscar unconscious while Dorothy held Eureka tightly in her arms due to her still being conscious.
"How dare you! We just wanted to go home and you decided to have me and my friends killed! Why is that? Can't you just leave us alone" Dorothy spoke out to Aurora in a rather pissed voice while glaring at her with serious eyes; however, Aurora only laughed as she walked closer to her opponent.
"Because, You have trespassed into the Land of the Mangaboos, caused the rain of stones, and even ruined my beautiful face! All of those things are met with the punishment of death, so die, you evil being" Aurora responded seriously while expanding her blade from her wrist as she was ready to deliver the final blow; however, Dorothy wasn't gonna give up that easily.
"No! I will not die here! I will do whatever it takes to bring myself and my friends back home!" Dorothy spoke back to Aurora in a motivated voice while slowly feeling power creeping inside her which surprised the young girl as she felt her forehead burning with sensation as well.
"I see, I'm protected by Locasta's kiss and if I'm protected by her kiss then maybe I might be able to defeat Aurora and save my friends." Dorothy thought to herself while smiling as she got up to face the fused Mangaboo Princess with fierce determination in her eyes and during this, Aurora was laughing to herself rather manically.
"Foolish girl, you still intend to stand up after what happened to your little friends? You are truly pathetic!" Aurora spat out in annoyance with a smile on her face as she was charging up a small energy attack which was shaped like a medium-sized ball while aiming it toward Dorothy.
"No matter how long it takes! I will defeat you, you evil princess!" Dorothy cried back as she was ready to take on the blast with her full might; however, a brilliant flash of light appeared before her which surprised both her and Aurora and it was none other than Ozma herself and immediately, she comforted her friend.
"Dorothy?! What in the world happened to you?! Are you okay?! I was worried since I saw you in this strange place" Ozma spoke out to Dorothy while hugging her tightly which was returned to her by Dorothy.
"O-Ozma?! I'm so glad you are here! How did you know where we were at?!" Dorothy spoke out in a surprised voice and this was met with Ozma chuckling at what she just heard.
"I have my magic mirror, remember? If I call your name then I can instantly know your location but let's not waste time on that, okay? We need to get you and your friends out of here" Ozma spoke back to her friend while gently helping her out; however, Aurora didn't intend to let that happen as her face was filled with fury while preparing to charge her attack.
"As if I'll allow you annoying pests to get away!" Aurora roared as she unleashed her attack towards the direction of Dorothy and Ozma; however, Ozma quickly sensed the attack and began to stand up in preparation to block the attack.
"I will not allow you to harm my friends any further, you vile Mangaboo!" Ozma spoke out in righteous anger as she used her hand to quickly destroy the attack with ease as it dispersed into thin air which made Aurora even more angry but calm.
"I see, you must be Princess Ozma of Oz, correct? No wonder you managed to destroy my attack but no matter! I will simply destroy you if you wish to interfere in my affairs!" Aurora spat out in annoyance while extending her hands to do quick movements with them before ending it with a huge clap followed by a thunderous sound.
The sound of Aurora's clap quickly made the entire Land of Gargoyles twist and turn making it into a strange and surreal scene as everyone and everything began flung around which alerted Ozma.
"D-Dorothy! Hang on to me! Don't worry about the others! Only me and you are affected by whatever Aurora is doing!" Ozma commanded her friend in a serious voice while Dorothy nodded her head as she held onto her friend.
"W-What's going on?! It's like everything is flying. What an awful sight.." Dorothy uttered in surprise while observing the many crashing wooden buildings and even some of the gargoyles being affected by this.
"Aurora, she intends to fight us in the air! Hang on to me while I take care of her!" Ozma advised her friend while looking over to see Aurora flying towards them followed by her laugh.
"Foolish girls, I shall kill you both right here then feed your bodies to the Dragonettes! So prepare to die!" Aurora spoke out to Ozma and Dorothy with a smile on her face as she was ready to charge another attack.
The next attack that Aurora was preparing was electricity as many blue sparks of it were flowing through her fused body and suddenly, Aurora smiled as she was ready to attack.
"Ignorant brats! This place shall be y'all tomb!" Aurora spat out as she shot out many electric attacks from her body and they came rushing toward Ozma and Dorothy with great speed; however, Ozma quickly dodged them with ease as she flew around the land.
"This might be trouble! I can't allow Dorothy to get hurt in any shape or form since she's on my back but I can't allow Aurora to terrorize my friends any longer!" Ozma thought to herself while Dorothy noticed her friend's situation as she continued to rest herself on the back of her friend.
"Foolish Girl! As if I'll let you breathe any longer! Let's see if you can dodge this!" Aurora spat out to Ozma as she opened her mouth which quickly alerted Dorothy as her eyes widened.
"Ozma! Watch out! She's gonna fire something from her mouth so dodge it so you won't get hurt!" Dorothy warned her friend in a tone of worry while Ozma nodded without saying a word.
"Say goodbye!" Aurora cried out as she unleashed her attack from her mouth as the target was Ozma; however, right when Ozma was about to dodge it, a pink aura consumed them both which surprised both girls as time seemed to have slowed down.
"W-What's going on.." Dorothy uttered in confusion as she felt a burning sensation on her forehead which caused her to wince in pain.
"Dorothy? On your forehead, I can see a faint star symbol being formed. It's not complete but I believe that could be the source of your pain.." Ozma spoke out to her friend while gently touching Dorothy's forehead which surprised her.
"S-Star?! Oh yeah, that must have been Locasta's kiss which protects me whenever I'm in Oz but why is there a star.." Dorothy spoke back in confusion as time finally resumed and this time, Ozma and Dorothy both had powerful pink auras suited to defeat Aurora once and for all.
"This must be the work of Locasta! We must defeat Aurora here and now and once we do, we'll visit her, okay?" Ozma spoke out to her friend while Dorothy smiled and nodded with excitement as the two girls saw Aurora approaching them with a maniacal smile.
"And what are you two girls chatting about! I can't wait to see the faces of terror when I.." Aurora spat out as the last part of her words was interrupted by her shocked face as she saw Ozma unleashing a huge pink energy blast with Dorothy behind her as the small unfinished star mark shined brightly on her forehead.
"It's over! Leave my friends alone, you evil Mangaboo!" Ozma spoke out in righteous anger as she finally unleashed the pink energy ball in Aurora's direction.
"T-That star?! C-could Dorothy.." Aurora spoke out to herself as she struggled to deflect the blast; however, the princess spent her final moments thinking about what she had seen.
"I knew Dorothy was protected by the Good Witch of the North but to think she was able to get a mark from Queen Lurine?! The Goddess of the entire Land of Oz and Earth! Impossible! I refuse to believe it! It has to be Locasta's symbol since she shares the same star as well." Aurora thought to herself while struggling to deflect the pink energy ball as she began to let out cries of struggle.
"All I ever wanted was to rule over the Mangaboos. That's all. I will return with a vengeance! I refuse…" Aurora thought to herself for the final time as she was fully consumed by the blast thus ending her reign of terror over Dorothy and her friends as everything returned to normal.
"S-She's gone. I'm sure Aurora of the Mangaboos won't be terrorizing anyone again but, Dorothy, you did well. I'm proud of you" Ozma spoke out to her friend as she noticed that Dorothy was unconscious from exhaustion while she slowly descended towards the group and observed the wooden city which returned to normal as if nothing happened.
"I guess all of the insanity was just an illusion or something but what's more important is taking Dorothy and her friends back to the Emerald City." Ozma spoke out while looking over to see the unconscious bodies of Betsy, Zeb, Oscar, Jim, and Eureka while walking closer to them before positioning herself in the center of everyone.
"Silver Shoes, I command you to take me, my friend, and Dorothy's friends back to the Emerald Palace!" Ozma commanded her shoes in a serious voice as a brilliant flash of light consumed her and everyone else as the gang was whisked away back to the Emerald City in one piece.
