Chapter 4: Glinda

By Elbereth in April

Laughing, Vegeta watched his monkey allies. Then he noticed, in the air above him, a witch on a broomstick. She seemed to be writing something in smoke.

"Surrender Sa-in," Vegeta read. "She can't even spell it properly! That's it! This whole planet's going up in smoke!" Then he paused. "Wait! Where would that leave my monkeys? Hmmm..."

The witch completed her poorly spelled message and maneuvered closer. He saw the glow of her red slippers from afar. "Those shoes seem to be the key to her power," Vegeta said to himself. "I shall remove them." He rocketed into the air.

"Return my monkeys!" she screamed at him.

"Never!" he shouted back.

"I'll get you, my pretty!"

"Who are you calling pretty?" he yelled, grabbing for her feet.

"Fool!" she cackled. "These shoes will never come off as long as I'm alive!"

Vegeta gave her an evil half-grin. "The solution to that problem is obvious." He fired an energy bolt at her.

"Oops." She dodged, and fired a sheet of flame toward him.

The monkeys, at this point, noticed the battle between their old and new masters. Howling excitedly, they gathered together, then determinedly pursued the witch. The head monkey grabbed her broomstick and dragged it and her through the air.

"Hey!" yelled Vegeta as his opponent was towed away. "This is my fight!"

The 2nd in command flew back to Vegeta. "Would you deny us this chance to avenge ourselves on our cruel former master?" he asked in monkey-talk.

Vegeta wavered. Understanding for their feelings graced his heart. "Oh...go ahead." He waved them off.

The witch, squawking in protest, was led over a large well, and then the head monkey shoved her off her

broomstick.

She landed in the well, shrieking. "I'm melting! I'm melting! Who would have thought apes like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness!" She dissolved away into nothingness.

The monkeys flew in joyful circles above the well, slapping each other on the back. Then they came and flew happily around Vegeta, yelling, "Three cheers for our Prince!" Vegeta grinned.

"Not so fast!" yelled a voice from inside a bright bubble. "It is I, Glinda, Good Witch of the North! You have turned Oz into a desolate wasteland! You must be stopped!"

Vegeta just rolled his eyes. "Not you again." He sighed, raised one finger, and sent her to another dimension. The monkeys cheered some more.

"Not so fast, Vegeta!" came another female voice. This one, however, produced a completely different reaction.

Vegeta swallowed hard and turned a little pale as he spun around to face this new speaker. There, on the ground, sitting on a strange white ship, was his mate, Bulma.

"What have you been doing? This place has been totally trashed! I can't believe this! Get down here right now!"

Vegeta scowled and came down. "Woman, can't I have a moment's fun?"

"Fun!" Bulma's voice was rapidly rising into ear-splitting ranges. "Fun? You're coming home this minute, Mr. Prince of the Saiyans! Get in this ship!"

Vegeta scuffed the ground with his booted foot. "But Bulma..."

"Must I raise my voice?"

"No! Good grief, woman!" He crossed his arms, feeling put upon and slightly embarrassed. "All right, I'm coming, but let me say goodbye to my friends!"

"Friends?" Bulma looked around incredulously as Vegeta rose back up in the air. "You made friends here? Wait--you can't mean those monkeys!"

Ignoring her, Vegeta placed himself in front of his loyal monkey groupies. "Well, my comrades, I must leave you. But I leave knowing that this planet now rests in your control."

The monkeys sniffed somewhat tearfully, sorry to see him go. "We will always remember you," the head monkey choked out. "In fact, we shall re-name Oz in your honor. This planet shall now be called Vegeta!"

Vegeta felt truly emotional. "I'm touched," he said. "Thank you." They all saluted each other.

Then Vegeta rejoined Bulma in front of the ship. The monkeys stayed in the air, waving.

"You don't suppose..." Bulma wondered as she and her mate got into the ship. "You know, Vegeta, you actually transmitted yourself back in time as well as across space. Those could be your Saiyan ancestors."

As the ship departed, Vegeta in a mild state of shock, the monkeys continued to wave as the remains of Emerald City collapsed below them.

Thus ended Vegeta's adventures in the merry old land of...well, whatever.

OK, if you really want me to, I can write an alternate ending where the monkeys go to Earth. Let me know.
