(Dion Makes His Move)
*July 16th, 1906*
*Emerald Palace*
It was dawn in the Emerald City, and Ozma and her friends were awaiting Nome King's and his army's arrival.
"It's a good thing we've managed to evacuate the citizens into a safer place or otherwise they'll be in danger." Tin Woodman spoke to Ozma while taking a few deep breaths to himself.
"I agree, and Henry and Em should also be safe with the citizens. I fear that things might go crazy if this plan was to fail." Ozma responded while looking over at the Fountain of Oblivion before turning back to face her friends.
"But, our enemies will soon be here. I sense their presence slowly approaching the Emerald City, but I've managed to send some dust to keep them busy for just a few more minutes." Ozma spoke to Tin Woodman and the others once more and this intrigued Woodman as he walked closer to Ozma.
"Oh, you managed to distract Nome King and the others? That's wonderful. This shall give us more time to discuss what we shall do with them after they drink from the fountain." Tin Woodman responded to his friend with curiosity while Ozma nodded in confirmation as she spoke again.
"Correct. It's not enough to stall them for a longer period, but it's still enough for us to at least find a way to talk as we are doing now." Ozma responded while turning over to face the Fountain of Oblivion.
During this, Polychrome would walk over to stand next to Ozma as the morning wind breeze over the two girls.
"Ozma, I can tell you don't want to fight them, don't you? That's why you came up with this idea, right? I've heard you fought evil people like Mombi and Aurora but despite that, you would rather talk it out with them.." Polychrome spoke to Ozma in a quiet voice so that only the princess could hear it while Ozma nodded in confirmation.
"Correct, but don't get me wrong. Once it comes to protecting my people and those I care about I must fight; however, I always prefer talking it out. That's what I attempted to do with Nome King and even Mombi at an earlier point, but it seems that both of them wouldn't listen so I ended up killing Mombi when I first became who I was while Nome King's plan was defeated at a later point. It's just I don't like fighting or solving any conflict with fighting, but.." Ozma responded in a rather somber voice before being met with Polychrome's warm hand touching her shoulder.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with fighting to protect those you love, that's how I see it. I don't like fighting either, but if it meant protecting those you love, and with a justice cause then I will fight." Polychrome advised Ozma in a warm voice which made her smile.
"Thank you. I know that certain people can't be reasoned with, such as Mombi, but I'll consider your words, and I truly mean that." Ozma responded joyfully as she and Polychrome shared a warm smile.
This moment of peace would be interrupted by sounds of rumbling from the ground that alerted Ozma and the others as finally, Lee-Ow-Oh and his army rose from the ground as they were the first ones to make it out.
"Finally! We're in the Emerald City!" Lee-Ow-Oh cried out joyfully as he and his men arose from the ground with the intent of conquering the city; however, due to the dust Ozma sent out, they were thirsty.
"Water! I need water!" Lee-Ow-Oh cried out in thirst as he and his men attempted to drink from the Fountain of Oblivion; however, right when they were about to, a voice called out to them, and it was Dion!
"Stop! Do you fools realize that drinking from that water will make you forget your identity? Such utter fools." Dion spoke to Lee-Ow-Oh and his men with annoyance as his presence surprised everyone including the villains.
"W-Wait, who is he?! Is that the mysterious creature.." Polychrome thought to herself in shock.
This surprising turn of events caused Lee-Ow-Oh and his men to stop in their tracks as they all looked up to see Dion staring back at them as he descended toward the ground. During this, Nome King and his army finally arrived as they were thirsty as well; however, Nome King peaked from the ground to see Dion.
"It's you! Where have you been!" Nome King called toward Dion while lifting himself from the hole, and making his way toward the creature.
"Oh, we're doing things my way. Do you honestly think for a minute I'll allow you to interfere with my plans, little man?" Dion spoke to Nome King with a rather disdained voice which surprised the ruler.
"W-What?! We gave you life! What do you mean your way?!" Nome King cried in shock while Ozma and the others watched the unexpected events unfolding before their eyes from afar.
"Oh, I intend to fight Dorothy, defeat her, and showcase my strength to Oz and Dorothy's world, and I won't allow you to stop me.." Dion responded with a smile before picking up the little man which didn't fly for Nome King.
"P-Put me down! What are you doing!" Nome King pleaded with Dion while he looked over to see that the creature was taking him to the Fountain of Oblivion.
"Oh, I'm doing something that would make my job easier. I have no use for someone like you, so begone!" Dion responded once more before throwing the Nome King into the fountain thus erasing his memory for good.
This event shocked everyone as nobody didn't expect such a thing to take place.
"H-He threw his creator into the fountain?!" Ozma thought to herself in shock while continuing to watch the events unfolding before her eyes.
"W-Who am I? Where am I.." Nome King spoke in confusion while looking up to see Dion, which frightened the king as he let out a yelp before running toward Ozma and the others for protection.
"Help me! This guy is trying to kill me! I don't know where I'm at, but that guy looks scary" Nome King pleaded with Ozma while the young girl stared back.
"Who are you? What's your name?" Ozma greeted the amnesiac king as she waited for an answer from the king.
"Beats me, you?" Nome King responded with a small chuckle while Ozma spoke once more.
Before Ozma spoke, Dion watched the events with a smirk on his face as he continued to monitor the events.
"My name is Ozma, and your name is Roquat, you are King of the Nomes." Ozma responded in a serious tone while Nome King was surprised by this.
"King, me?! Well, that's a surprise, but how did I end up here and who are these people.." Nome King responded rather politely while Ozma began to respond.
"You were angry and convinced these people to join you, but I and my friends shall take care of things from this point, but for now, go to your nomes and tell them to go home, and come back when you're done.." Ozma ordered the Nome King rather sternly.
"I don't know about all of that, but I'll tell those Nomes or whatever to head home." Nome King responded before heading over to the hole where his army was currently at.
"March home, whoever you are!" Nome King ordered his army, and of course, whispers of confusion erupted from the group which led to Guph speaking.
"Okay? I guess this was all for nothing.." Guph responded with disappointment as he and the rest of the Nome army turned around and retreated to their domain.
During the chain of events, Winkle watched with anger as he let out a scream of annoyance.
"Enough talking! It seems like I'll have to take command here! Conquer Oz!" Winkle commanded the others in anger.
This caused the Growleywog army and the Whimisie army to charge directly toward Ozma and the others; however, Dion stared back in annoyance.
"Like I SAID, we're doing things my way.." Dion spoke with annoyance as he quickly teleported in Winkle's direction.
"G-Get out of my way! I gave you life, and I'll.." Winkle spoke in anger; however, he wasn't able to finish his sentence since Dion quickly killed him with a single blast.
Winkle screamed as he was killed by the blast which shocked Ozma and the others.
"H-He killed him?! We're going to die!" Nome King cried in shock as the amnesiac king quickly ran back to Ozma and the others. Ozma stared back at Dion with serious intent as she quickly extended her hands out.
"No, Dion. we're doing things MY way!" Ozma spoke to Dion rather angrily as she clapped her hands thus making everyone appear in a bubble including herself.
"O-Ozma?! What's going on?!" Scarecrow uttered in shock as he was trapped within Ozma's bubble, and there, he saw Ozma smile back.
"Don't worry, I have a plan!" Ozma responded before finally snapping her fingers thus making everyone disappear from the city.
*Munchkin Country*
Polychrome found herself to be in the outskirts of the beautiful country as she got up to take a look around.
"W-Where am I.." Polychrome spoke to herself while beginning to walk across the fields; however, this was interrupted by a large footstep that belonged to none other than Lee-Ow-Oh.
This caught the rainbow girl's attention and she quickly turned around to see Lee-Ow-Oh staring at her.
"So, it seems I have to face you, eh? The more I look at you, the more I hate your guts! I hope you are prepared to die." Lee-Ow-Oh spoke to Polychrome in a rather angered voice as the bear clapped his hands to transform into something else.
Lee-Ow-Oh managed to transform into a handsome warrior with streaking blonde hair, and he wore elegant warrior clothing. He also spoke in a more elegant tone.
"Don't worry, I'll make this quick, rainbow freak!" Lee-Ow-Oh spoke with a smile before creating a sword from this hand.
Polychrome stared back with a serious face before preparing herself for battle.
"No, It's you who's going down. I'm going to protect my friends from people like you!" Polychrome responded with motivation and seriousness in her voice as she was ready to face the leader of the Phanfasms.
While Dorothy and Omby Amby are training, the heated battles are about to begin!
