They entered in the castle, Laiba sneezed.

"Stupid dust..." He said, wiping his nose.

Tik-tok stopped at some stairs.

"I think it is up these stairs, kids." He said, making them turn.

They climbed the stairs, into a gold room.

"Not bad." Laiba said, holding Dorothy's hand.

In the middle of the room, was a lady playing some instrument, she didn't seem to notice them.

They went to her, carefully.

When they got close, she looked at them.

'Something tells me she's bad.' Laiba thought.

"Excuse me, miss, but are you Princess Mombi?" Dorothy asked.

The lady yawned and placed her instrument aside, she gave Dorothy her hand.

"Help me to rise." She said.

Dorothy nodded, set Billina down and took her hand, helping her stand.

Laiba looked at her oddly, something was wrong about her.

The lady smiled and stroked Dorothy and Laiba's face, making him cringe a bit.

"I think I'll put on something more appropriate." She said.

"Come with me. Your friends can stay here." She said, as she took both Dorothy and Laiba's hand and walking into a room.

"We're really looking for the Scarecrow." Dorothy said, as they entered a room.

It was a nice bedroom, she lead them into a different room.

Laiba couldn't help but cringe and gag, there were tons of heads, staring at them.

'What the actual f*ck?' He thought.

'How're they even alive?' He thought, as the heads stared at the two.

They stopped in front of a cage, the lady took out a ruby key and unlocked it.

"I think Number 4 will do for this afternoon." She said.

Then she took off her head and placed it inside the cage, making Dorothy hold onto Laiba.

Laiba stared at her with wide eyes.

'That's Mombi. It has to be.' He thought, holding Dorothy close to him, as they watched the lady go to a cage and get out a head.

She held it, as the two gasped and panted.

"What do you think?" The head asked.

"I-I think you're very beautiful." Dorothy stuttered.

"I should hope so. And just who might you two be? What are you doing here?" The head asked, as it was placed onto the body.

"I'm Dorothy Gale, and this is Laiba." Dorothy said, as the head snapped into place, making Laiba flinch and back away, holding onto Dorothy.

Mombi looked at them, with wide eyes, almost realization.

"Dorothy Gale and Laiba?" She asked.

"What's happened to the Scarecrow?" Laiba asked.

"Come nearer to me." She said.

Laiba held Dorothy's hand as they went to her.

"The Nome King took the Scarecrow and all the emeralds back to his mountain, and turned everyone else into stone." She said.

Then she touched Laiba's face, making him shiver.

"You both will be rather attractive one day. Not at all beautiful, you understand, but you both have a certain prettiness. Different from my other heads." Mombi said, as she examined their faces.

"I believe I'll lock you both in the tower for a few years till your heads are ready, and then I'll take them." She said.

Dorothy slapped her hand, same with Laiba.

"I believe you will not!" Dorothy said.

"Same here!" Laiba said.

Mombi grabbed both their wrists and dragged them away.

"TIK-TOK!!" Dorothy screamed.

Laiba struggled and snatch his hand free, but she had a iron grip on him.

'Why isn't my strength working?' He thought.

Billina flew at Mombi, making them stop.

Dorothy kicked at Mombi, as Laiba punched her hand.

"Don't worry kids. I will save you." Tik-Tok said.

Mombi grabbed Billina by her feet and held.

"You, I'll have fried for breakfast!" She said, as she continued to drag them away.

"LET US GO, YOU CRAZY HAG!!" Laiba screamed.

Tik-Tok appeared in front of them.

"Tik-Tok, help me!" Billina cried.

Tik-Tok swung his arm, only for it to stop.

'Really, now?!' Laiba thought.

"Oh dear. My action has run down." Tik-Tok said.

"We see that." Laiba said, as Mombi laughed and dragged them away.

"This is bad. My fight with the Wheelers made me run down faster than usual." Tik-tok said.

"It can't be helped, Tik-Tok!" Dorothy said.

"NO!!! LET US GO!!" Laiba screamed as he slashed her cheek, making her yell.

She let him go and back-handed him, sending him to the ground.

"BIG BROTHER!!" Dorothy yelled, as Mombi picked him up by his collar and dragged them up some stairs.

"What will you do with Tik-Tok?" Dorothy asked.

"People will think I have a new statue." Mombi sneered, as they entered a room, that was at the top of the stairs.

She opened the door and threw them in.

Laiba landed on the ground and hit his head, making it bleed.

Mombi closed the door and laughed, before she walked downstairs.

Dorothy helped Laiba up, as he wiped the blood away.

"You okay?" She asked.

He smiled and nodded.

They walked around the room, looking at the things Mombi had.

"Lot of junk in here." He said, picking up a picture.

Then at the corner of his eye, he saw a glow.

He picked it up and was in awe.

"Oh yeah, I can make this work." He grinned.

"Mom?" A voice said.

"What was that?" Laiba asked, readying the violin.

Dorothy and Laiba looked around, until they saw something move.

"Mom, is that you?" It asked, sitting up.

They stepped forward in awe.

"No." Dorothy said.

"I'm Dorothy Gale and this is Laiba." She said.

"Oh. For a second there, I thought my Mom had come back." It said.

"What is this, a man or a melon?" Billina asked.

"He's a pumpkin." Laiba said.

"He's right. My name's Jack. Jack Pumpkinhead." He said.

'We got another Jack here...wait...wasn't Jack Skellington the Pumpkin King in his world?' Laiba thought.

"May I ask a favor Dorothy and Laiba?" Jack asked.

"Would you please check my head for any signs of spoiling?" Jack asked.

Laiba giggled as they checked his head.

"Any soft spots?" Jack asked.

"Nope." Laiba said.

"How does it feel?" Jack asked.

"Very nice, sir." Dorothy asked.

"Thank you. I've been alive such a short while and I'm afraid of spoiling before I've seen anything of the world. Could you two put some of the rest of me together?" Jack asked.

Dorothy and Laiba grabbed the sticks that we beside him and tied them to Jack's body.

He looked at Dorothy.

"Are you sure you're not my mom?" He asked.

Laiba giggled.

"I'm sure, Jack. I've known Dorothy for a while." Laiba said, as he tied Jack's leg.

"Are you an angel?" Jack asked, making Laiba blush.

"Uh, no. I'm just a normal kid." He said.

"A kid who's a hero." Dorothy said.

"Sis." Laiba said, making Dorothy giggle.

"A hero? Like a superhero?" Jack asked.

"You could say that. I protect other worlds from danger, along with my team." Laiba said.

"So...how were you made?" Laiba asked.

"Well, my mother built me to scare that awful witch, Mombi. She stood me in place where Mombi would meet me, face-to-face. And along she came. Sure enough, she was scared. But then, she was angry. She has a terrible temper." He said.

"We know." Dorothy said.

As Dorothy and Jack talked, Laiba got a call from HQ.

He got away from them and answered.

"What's up, guys?" He asked.

"We just wanted to check on you. We haven't heard anything and wanted to see if you were okay." Ellie said.

"I'm good guys. We met a new friend." Laiba said, as he secretly showed them Jack.

"Meet, Jack Pumpkinhead." He said.

"Another Jack?" Aj asked.

"He's an actual Pumpkin, huh?" Silver asked.

"Yup. We're trapped in this tower by the witch, Mombi." Laiba said.

"So...think that's the problem?" Wukong asked.

"No. It's something else. I think this has something to do with the Nome King...whoever that is." Laiba said.

"If that's really the issue, then-"

"Sh!t, gotta go! Call you guys, later." Laiba said, hanging up.

"Brother, can I borrow your weapon?" Dorothy asked.
