(The Deadly Broadcast)
*July 16th, 1906*
*Winkie Country*
The early morning sun shined upon the yellow country as Ozma sighed to herself.
"I wonder how the others are doing, I should call for everyone to retreat, ASAP." Ozma quietly spoke to herself while preparing to talk to everyone through her mind; however, she heard a small sound coming from the ground, and it was Nome King.
"I-Is be gone?! I hope so because that battle knocked the socks out of me.." Nome King asked Ozma while getting out of the hole and running over to the princess.
"Oh yeah, you grabbed onto me when I attempted to teleport you back to your kingdom, but to answer your question, he's gone.." Ozma responded in a serious manner which brought relief to the amnesiac king.
"S-So is everything over with?! Can we all finally be happy?" Nome King asked once more excitedly while Ozma shook her head in denial.
"No, Dion is planning something.." Ozma responded once more in a serious tone of voice before closing her eyes to speak to her allies.
During this, Nome King had a surprised look on his face as he spoke once more.
"I don't know who Dion is, but I hope the situation can be taken care of.." Nome King quietly spoke to himself while seeing Ozma preparing to talk to everyone.
"Everyone! I urge you to stop fighting at once, and once everyone does that, I'll send everyone back to Emerald City." Ozma commanded her friend via telepathy as her message echoed across the Oz and only those close to her could hear her voice.
"Ozma?! What's going on? What do you mean? I've been roaming around the forest for the last few minutes." Scarecrow responded from the other line while he awaited an answer.
"Don't worry. I'll explain once we're in the Emerald City." Ozma calmly responded to her friend before quickly opening her eyes.
"The only issue is dealing with those whom Guph gathered. I can't just leave them alone, even if it's an isolated place. Damn it! This isn't what I expected, but everything just happened at a fast pace, It seems I have no choice…" Ozma thought to herself while making an annoyed face before finally deciding what to do.
After this, Ozma clicked her heels three times and proceeded to speak.
"Silver Shoes, I want you to take me, my friends, and Nome King back to the Emerald City!" Ozma commanded her the shoes as a brilliant flash of light consumed her and Nome King thus risking them away to their destination.
*Emerald Palace*
Ozma and the gang finally made it back to the palace gardens, and everyone seemed confused.
"Ozma, what's going on? I was battling with the Whimsie Chief. We also should worry about the others that were gathered as well." Tin Woodman curiously asked Ozma while Scarecrow nodded in agreement.
"Long story short, Dion is planning on announcing Dorothy's world, and as for the others, I'll deal with them later.." Ozma responded calmly as this news surprised everyone in the room.
"W-What?! Dion is going to Kansas?! This is quite bad. If he harms anyone there then this could spell trouble." Scarecrow spoke with great concern while Tin Woodman nodded in agreement.
"He's right. Urgent action should be taken or else things might turn ugly for the people of Oz." Tin Woodman chimed into the conversation while Ozma thought of what she heard before speaking.
"That won't be necessary. Dion told me that he wouldn't harm anyone, but he told me to look at my magic mirror for an announcement.." Ozma responded while crossing her arms to think about the situation and during this, Scarecrow spoke up once more.
"And the announcement is.." Scarecrow asked his friend in a curious yet serious tone while Ozma began to respond.
"He said he's opening a tournament, and I guess everyone including those in Dorothy's world is invited, and that's all I know.." Ozma responded as the news shocked everyone in the area.
"T-Tournament?! What is Dion event planning?! I thought he wanted to conquer Oz or something along the lines.." Tin Woodman responded to his friend in a surprised manner while Ozma nodded in agreement.
"That's what I thought as well, but. He told me that he wanted to fight Dorothy and showcase his strength to everyone across the planet, so I guess that he wanted to show his supremacy to those weaker than him, I think.." Ozma responded in a confused voice while Tin Woodman thought about what he just heard.
"This is confusing, Dion is quite the mysterious creature…" Tin Woodman spoke to Ozma once more while the princess nodded her head in agreement.
During the conversation, a voice could be heard calling out to them, and it was Lion, who had an unconscious Polychrome on his back.
"G-Guys! Polychrome is down for the count! We need to take her to the hospital wing, and fast!" Lion advised his friends in a worried tone of voice and this quickly alerted Ozma and the others.
"P-Polychrome. I can tell she had a tough battle…" Ozma thought to herself with a worried expression before quickly motioning her hands for the others to assist the rainbow girl.
"Quickly! Take Polychrome to the hospital wing, I'll follow you guys there!" Ozma ordered her friends while everyone followed her command to help their fallen but victorious friend.
*Topeka, Kansas*
Dion arrived at the bustling city of Topeka, and he smiled at the city.
"Now, time to find the nearest radio station. I should thank the late Winkle for giving me Dorothy's cells." Dion spoke to himself before flying over to the building with such speed.
"Unlike Oz. It seems Dorothy's world is rather primitive in terms of technology, so showing my beautiful face to everyone at the same time could be an issue.." Dion thought to himself before descending in front of the radio station.
Dion smiled at this and proceeded to enter the station through force, and this caused mayhem throughout the studio as many people started to scream in terror.
"A-A monster?! Everyone get out!" A woman cried out in fear as she quickly ran out of the door along with the rest of the humans, and this brought a smile to Dion's face.
"Fear not, I won't hurt everyone…yet, I just want to send a message.." Dion advised everyone while smirking before he quickly flew up the building with the intent to reach his destination.
*Main Station Room*
During the commotion, many people were escaping the room while two men prepared themselves for the possible escape. Their names were Jimmy and Mario.
"Come on, Jimmy! We gotta get out of here. There's a monster on the loose!" Mario advised Johnny, his co-worker in a frantic voice; however, Jimmy remained firm in staying.
Jimmy was a man in his forties, and he had short hair and brown eyes while Mario appeared to be a bit younger.
"You go! I'll hold him off! That sucker thinks he can just waltz into our station then he has another.." Jimmy attempted to speak to his friend while pulling out a revolver; however, his words were interrupted by another explosion from below, and it was nobody but Dion, and he was choking out a man.
"Greetings, I'm assuming this is where everyone gets their information from, correct? Don't lie to me now.." Dion introduced himself to the two men before throwing the fellow whom he was choking to his side.
After seeing this, Jimmy quickly aimed his gun at the creature while Mario watched in fear.
"W-Who are you?! Leave or I'll shoot!" Jimmy warned Dion while he stood in fear and determination; however, Dion quickly teleported in front of Jimmy and destroyed his weapon.
"W-What?!" Jimmy uttered in surprise before falling to his knees which made Dion smile as he grabbed him by the collar.
"Listen, I want you to do a few favors for me…" Dion spoke to Jimmy with a smirk.
*Emerald Palace*
Back in Oz, Ozma sat in her room with her friends as they awaited Dion's announcement after a few minutes of waiting.
"How's Polychrome? I hope she's doing okay.." Lion asked his friends in a worried tone while Scarecrow gave him reinsurance by patting him on the back.
"I'm sure she's doing okay. She had a tough battle, that's all. We should be patient for her recovery." Scarecrow responded with a smile as this seemed like a warm moment; however, this was interrupted by Ozma's magic mirror emitting a strange sound that caught everyone's attention.
"It's Dion!" Ozma uttered in shock as she stood up from her couch along with everyone else.
The magic mirror showcased Dion with a smirk on his face, and to make matters worse, he managed to take control of the station.
*Topeka, Kansas*
Dion smirked as he began to speak to everyone via telepathy.
"Greetings, people of Earth. I hope everyone can hear my voice, if so, good! Because I have an announcement. First of all, My name is Dion, I was created to conquer a wonderful place, that place is called Oz; however, I realized that my true ambition was to showcase my awesome strength to those stupid enough to oppose me." Dion spoke to everyone in a confident voice while chuckling as he spoke once more.
"That's why I'm holding a tournament, right here in good old Kansas! That way, it will be more convenient for those who may have trouble getting to Oz, so consider that as a token of my kindness, but moving on, the tournament shall take place within 10 days, so that's enough time to gather up as many fighters as you could." Dion spoke once more to the people of Earth.
After this, Dion extended his hand to the wall to fire a huge energy attack which leveled the wall and a few buildings outside, killing the people that were inside.
This caused more people to scream with some people running out of the door, and this was music to Dion's ears.
"You see. if I win, then I'll cause fear and terror amongst the planet and Oz, but if you, the people win then I'll leave everyone alone, but that's all I have today.." Dion spoke to the people of Earth with a smirk before laughing at the terror he caused before flying away, thus leaving everyone stunned.
"O-Oh, my god.." Jimmy uttered in shock while falling to his knees as he could hear many sirens, voices, etc erupting as chaos was slowly forming.
*Emerald Palace*
Back in Oz, Ozma and the others appeared to be upset at Dion's reckless actions as they watched the events transpire.
"Scarecrow, you're in charge, for the time being, I'm going out.." Ozma spoke to her friend in a serious tone of voice while proceeding to use her silver shoes to send herself to wherever she was going.
Scarecrow and the others were shocked by Dion's actions while being curious about Ozma's next course of action.
"Ozma.." Scarecrow uttered softly while continuing to think about the events that transpired before his eyes.
"I believe she's going to see Glinda, what Dion is doing could spell trouble for Oz and Earth.." Tin Woodman responded seriously while Scarecrow nodded understandingly.
"I-I see, but Glinda won't help us, she can't get involved, and we were lucky that she even helped us in defeating Mombi and Jinjur but other than that, we're on our own.." Scarecrow responded while Tin Woodman nodded in agreement.
"I know, but I believe she may have Glinda send a certain girl to help us, remember Kiki?" Tin Woodman responded to his friend with a smile on his face.
Dion's announcement caused panic across the globe with newspapers reporting hearing his voice! Even Betsy and Zeb were shocked at the events, and it seemed like hope was lost; however unknown to the people that weren't people like Betsy and Zeb.
There is a girl who is currently training to combat this threat to peace. There is a hero who liberated the Munchkins and Winkies from the Wicked Witches of the East and West. There is a hero who saved the Ev Family from the Nome King.
Her name is Dorothy Gale, The Strong and Brave!
