A week before the Coven Meeting, a couple of Witches, four in total, from the Oztown assault are making their way back to the under construction of Oztown. In the break of dawn.
The lead Witch, Raquel Ortiz. 5'1". Hispanic. Age 16. C-cup. Black hair. Blue eyes.
The other three Hispanic Witches behind her are in different heights, two matching cup sizes, and have brown hair.
Talking in Spanish.
"Are you sure that there should be a Vigilante here?"
"I'm pretty sure that they are. I know that the Wolfe girl resides in this place." Raquel replied.
"I wonder if we'll be able to get the bounty for her?"
"After Johnston hassled us for information, we need some cash here. And I think it's still up, just not as much. A thousand I think?"
Raquel sign over the memory of Olivia placing her Switchblade Wand on her neck, with Makayla aiming her Pistol Wand at the others and Abigail is holding them in a fire rope from her Lantern Wand.
"So embarrassing!" Raquel is talking to herself as the others are quite busy.
"Did any of you tell the boss that we're taking a leave? Because I don't want to be fired, and if not, I got work later tonight."
"Yeah. We told him, but only for a night."
"Good enough. Let's move." Raquel ordered them.
The four creep down from the Yellow Brick Bridge as the sun is about to hit them, but unknown to them, a black spot is flying behind them, hiding in the sun.
As the four slowly make their way into Oztown, they're noticing that some places are still under rubble as some of the smaller buildings are still under construction.
"Man! The MGK, the Archangels, the Anti-Witch Militia, and the Vigilantes made it look like World War 3 had happened here."
"I wonder which Vigilantes survived? Because all of the Archangels had been killed from this spot. May God bless their souls." Raquel cross prays to them.
All four give their prayers to them. "Amen."
One of them walks to the once police station and sees the remnants of St. Michael by picking up her mental Wing.
"I wonder how much we could get out of this? And get a sword or knife from it?"
"I think we can make some good deals with a Witchcrafter."
"Find what you can, and put it in the bag." Raquel continues to order them around as she looks around.
They start searching the area as they're seeing remnants of the once MGK leader Layla Jackson, but in reality, a Japanese teen girl.
One of them scoffed off the body.
"Must have been one of those battle hungry Magical Vigilantes from Japan."
"Ignore her." Raquel said to her.
They continue to look around as they see a couple of workers are making patrol of the site.
"What shall we do about them?"
Raquel looks over. "Just knock them out. They pose no threat to us."
Two of the Witches sneak their way around the patrol workers. They pull out their traditional looking Wands. They casted a couple of knockout punches to keep them down.
Raquel looks out to the campsite. "Alright! Let's look for the Wolfe girl."
They continue their search, and about to enter a small camp where workers and some of the townsfolk are there to stay in order to repair the destroyed town.
"She might be sleeping there."
"Go check. They might have separated them all by sex, if we're lucky." Raquel is looking around to see if any coworkers are around.
One of them walked up slowly up to the tent to see that it's unisex setting.
"Shit..." Turning around to wave her throat as the other three understood what she's talking about as she's walking back to them but her eyes are occupied as the other three are talking to one another.
"Crap!"
"I want some form of payment before the Coven Meeting next week."
"We'll get it. It might take some time, since your next paycheck isn't in another two weeks." Raquel signs as she looks over her wallet to see nothing.
"Maybe we should rob them?"
"Which one looks like the richest among them? We can make a quick buck over that." Raquel asked them as she's putting her wallet away.
One of them noticed the scout Witch is bothered. They look back to the sun.
Dorothy Gardner as her Maleficent outfit, her Magical Girl look. Slowly floating down to their location.
They see a shadowy person with a horned crown. Green scaled design to an overall purple dress. Purple and green slippers. Purple and green flames glowing around her but two ravens in separate colours are flying next to her.
"Is that a Witch?"
"Don't know?" Raquel calls out in English, "Hey! If you're looking for a bounty, then we call dibs!"
Dorothy stands in front of them with one of her ravens on the shoulder and the other is on her crown to resemble her Witch's hat, the raven's wing obscuring the eyes and face.
"Good morning, ladies." Dorothy greeted them with a smile and a bow.
"Morning?" Raquel is confused.
One of them speaks to Raquel in Spanish. "I think this might be Glinda, the Northern Good Witch?"
"Right! She lives around here." Raquel snaps her finger and replies in Spanish too. "I forgot this is her stomping ground too."
"I don't know what they're talking about, but hopefully it's something peaceful." Dorothy thinks to herself.
"She doesn't look Good at all. In fact, she's scary looking."
Raquel walked up to Dorothy with a cocky attitude, not knowing about the Maleficent Magical Girl.
In English. "Look here. I don't care what brought you here or if you live here, but a thousand bucks is all we can work with. So please go somewhere else." She tapped her shoulder.
Dorothy smirked. "I'm not surprised, but I'm trying to make a name for myself here. For the Magical Girl Grand Games."
All of them look confused.
"Aren't you a Witch?"
Dorothy smiled for them to look at, "Nope."
One of them recognized her look. "Wait a minute..."
"Perhaps I should introduce myself." Dorothy reveals her purple eyes as her ravens turned into flames that cover her forearms and fist..
"Oh shit! It's her! The Maleficent Magical Girl that the MGK put a bounty on!" Spoke in Spanish.
"Bitch's daughter, I guess today we got a lucky day!" Raquel happily said to them.
They're getting ready to fight, but Dorothy held her hand up. "May I ask why you're here?"
"You already forgot, I did say it in English, right?" Raquel asked the others before looking back at Dorothy, "To get some bounty money."
Raquel is about to swing a punch. Dorothy kept side stepping then floated back to use the sun to blind them for a bit.
"Bring down the Bitch!" Raquel orders in Spanish while feeling like she had been embarrassed.
They start firing randomly up in the air against Dorothy.
Stop four of the blasts, one from each Witch, with a Glyph that they can't see and turn it against them by firing a green fireball at them.
When they moved to let the fireball hit the campsite, it turned around and hit one of them on the back, knocking each of them down.
"That Bitch!" Raquel shouted.
"We'll use one of the people as a hostage."
One of them runs back, but has been tripped and pulled away.
"Sorry, ladies. We'll be taking this fight off the site. Do you mind?" Dorothy asked them while pulling all four into the air, and away from the town.
Raquel angrily replies to Dorothy in Spanish. "Yes, we do mind!"
"Sorry, I don't speak Spanish." Dorothy apologises to them.
Dorothy's right arm raised with flames covering it up to blast all four of them into the forest nearby.
Dorothy flies down then skates around their punches and broom swings.
Spin kicks one of them back, then judo throws the other.
Skates back then flies around while the other two make their shots.
"Follow her!" Raquel is frustrated.
They fly on their brooms with a side cart. The side cart takes aim while they're chasing Dorothy around the forest then out onto the dirted road.
They're gunning Dorothy as she's protecting herself with her raven flames. She stops then blasts back to hit a back elbow onto one of the broom drivers to flip them backwards as the other side slides while the other fires at her.
Dorothy protects the other two with the side cart as she protects herself with her ravens. She spins and send a raven that turn into a variation of a Glyph Saw at them, while shouting;
"Devil's Saw!"
She turns and Glyph Shot but with her hands being covered in flames.
"Fairy Shot!"
Dorothy took shots with her Glyph Shot variation, Fairy Shot, while skating towards them.
Power slides under a kick then kips up but being kicked back then the other two blast Dorothy back.
Dorothy protects herself with her ravens after one of them blasts back towards her. Been forced back, leaving a small trial.
One of them had rushed up for a boxer stance with footwork and feint jabs to confuse Dorothy.
Dorothy missed a couple of swings. The Witch feint left strike to make Dorothy block it, but went for the right hook.
The other Witch made a trick shot by using a large rock behind Dorothy. Blast shot, Dorothy dodged it but didn't get the shot on the back for the fighting Witch to deliver another hook from the left.
The other two Witches rush up to blast Dorothy back.
Roll after a couple of rotations then sit up. Holding her neck.
The four Witches stood together.
"You're getting cocky there!" Raquel cackled.
"And took your little back shot trick." The other adds in Spanish.
Dorothy got up then started stretching. "I'm learning what I can do in my Magical Vigilante uniform."
In English, "So you're planning on taking us in?" Raquel is in the defence position.
She asked Dorothy as they're preparing for another strike.
"No. I'll give you a couple of bucks, but I'm training. So I'm using you a lot as my practice."
A giant Glyph that takes the form of a spinning wheel which confuses the four.
"What the...?" Raquel is surprised to see a Glyph.
"Spinning Wheel Spindle!"
Needles went down in order to pin down the three Witches. Raquel had managed to avoid the needles.
"Alright you Magical Bitch! I don't know nor I don't care if you're a Witch or Magical Girl, you're still a Bitch in the end." Raquel angrily spat in Spanish.
She swings a punch, but Dorothy sidesteps each punch. Kneel duck then roll.
Her fist and arm lit up with green flame to go for the punch of her own.
"Pyrobolum Dragon!"
A punch has the flame engulfed into the fist to throw the punch. It has a shotgun blast, but Dorothy felt the heavy recoil.
Raquel nearly invaded the projectile punch, but felt the hellfire heat. It caught the end tips of her long black hair, but couldn't catch it at first. Then she felt the fire and started rolling to put the fire out.
"You need some water?" Dorothy offers.
In Spanish, "Screw you!" Raquel stood up.
Dorothy activated her Raven Flame on her arms, but felt a heavy sting on her right arm.
Raquel grinned as she saw Dorothy rolling her arm. Talk in English. "Your special attack must have taken a hold on you."
"Yeah. It was such a pain to use it, but I wasn't going for the kill though." Dorothy foot hop as she's prepared for another round.
Raquel rushes up to Dorothy to try to go for multiple shots.
Dorothy exchanges Fairy Shots while Raquel pulls out a couple of pistols on trying to gun her down.
Arm pulled down, but Raquel stood her ground then rolled for a kip up as Dorothy held her wrist. Raquel then rolls back to slap the hand off for a kick to the side of the head.
Dorothy ducks, but Raquel crawls back and under Dorothy's legs.
Going for a shot to the back of the head, Dorothy instinctively rolls to avoid the killing shot.
Turned and made a couple of Fairy Shots onto the knee then disarm shot, and finally onto the head for the stun.
Runs up for another Pyrobolum Dragon with the right arm again.
Raquel felt hellfire punch but not burning as she flew back, shattering the needles but it caused a concussion explosion to keep them all down.
Dorothy had tied the Witches up. Lift them up by using her magic.
"Where on Earth shall I send you though...?" Dorothy asked them as she's acting.
They all point at the Bad Apple opposite direction.
"Alright then!" Dorothy smiled. Trying to think of a proper send off. "What is the Spanish for "seeing you later?" Ah! Aloha!"
Send them flying in a ball of fire, but she sends them flying towards the Bad Apple, but not too close thus to make it look like an accident.
Raquel cursed out in Spanish. "That isn't Spanish you Magical C...!"
Dorothy is embarrassed over what she said. "Crap! I pissed her off." Slap her own face.
Serena watches from nearby then walks up to Dorothy with a question. "How did you manage to hide your Glyphs? Because I can't tell which one is Magical Girl abilities and your Wicked magic."
Dorothy showed her.
The flames have Glyph symbols in it to conceal her Witch identity.
"Quite clever." Serena is impressed.
"It is, but quite painful. Using Pyrobolum Dragon gotta be a one hit KO attack." Rolling her arm. "Could barely use it after the punch."
"I see then." Serena walked up to Dorothy who's sitting down to see her right arm is showing signs of a first degree burn. "My goodness! You shouldn't use such a powerful attack if it hurts your own body!" Serena is showing concern for Dorothy's well being and reckless fighting style.
"Well I didn't want to kill her, so I ended up taking up most of the blow while releasing some of it towards her." Dorothy said while self healing herself. "I can still feel the heat." Dorothy said after being healed up.
"Must be difficult on using Wicked magic while using Magical Girl abilities, since those are meant to rival Witches." Serena goes up on her shoulders then lean on her head.
"I feel more restricted, but learning hand-to-hand combat gotta count for something." Standing up then starting walking back to Oztown.
"So how does it feel to be a Magical Girl?" Serena asked her.
"Weird, but honestly quite useful. The Raven Flames are handing me concealed my Glyphs, but timing is still off. So difficult to maintain both. Witches use their minds while Magical Girls use their hearts, but each time I try to use one or the other, they try to contradict each other."
Dorothy shows off the Fairy Shot pose to Serena that a Glyph comes out first then the Raven Flame.
"I see your point." Serena agreed.
"Anyways, how's the paperwork doing?" Dorothy asks Serena as she's slowly flying back to her farmhouse once she reaches the forest.
"So exhausting. Coming up with false paperwork for you and your friends, and how has your Mentor Witch managed to keep falsifying reports and tax evasion for a century?" Serena is laying on her raven like a pillow as Dorothy is laying back.
Dorothy looked around as she seemed happy, letting some light touch her body as she flew peacefully.
"Can you tell me about these Games, again? I still don't seem to understand."
Serena looked annoyed as she continued to use the raven as a pillow. "Simple. Non Wanted Witches; 15. Wanted Witches; 5. And Most Wanted Witch; 1. You don't have to bring them all in once. Just write a file and report, then the MGGA will note it and tally it up." Serena looks back and continues to sleep on Dorothy. "You could have brought them in, and got 4 out of 15 right there, since they're not registered in the Wanted list."
"I know, but I want to bring down a couple of Wanted Witches that wanted to be brought down." Dorothy turned down the offer. "And hearing them wanting money, I guess they got something to live for."
"They're petty thieves. Nothing more, nothing less." Serena talks down on them.
"But when you have nothing, pettiness is all they can get. It's those who have power make pettiness into pettiness." Dorothy looks up as the blue skies are above the green tree.
"You should have seen Becky's reports. Solving petty crimes out here. She wouldn't qualify regardless." Serena walked up to Dorothy to meet her in the eyes. "She doesn't have your advantages."
"But I make sure that all of my friends will make it past the Nationals Qualification Round." Dorothy doesn't seem to not mind the situation. "Because Becky will be with us after the Coven Meeting. So I'm making sure that we'll be five of those Most Wanted. So how many slots can make it into the International Round? If we make it in."
"It's like a traditional tournament, but the International Round is to determine the Students for the Magical Girl Academia, but you should be worried about the National Qualification Round first. You and the rest of the Wicked Witches are competing against every Vigilante, with or without a Guide across the nation. But only 300 can get by, that's why I don't trust this plan of yours. Living out here is a disadvantage since city Vigilantes got more advantages since Witches tend to operate in the cities rather than the country. Getting info and locations for your targets is great and all at first and going out on a long con here is risky. Everyone else was getting theirs the moment the Grand Games were announced, and instantly 300 had already been filled up."
"Do you mind if I read the rules? Because I feel like there's something missing here." Dorothy asked.
"Feel free. Because there is a time limit, but I don't understand why bother with it." Serena was distraught after thinking about it.
Dorothy mutters as she reads the rules;
-Non Wanted Witches will increase by 5 each passing week from the first of July till the first of August, while Wanted and Most Wanted will stay the same.
-Missing or dead participants will be automatically disqualified from the Games.
-Leaderboard of the amount of Magical Vigilantes, Nationwide with only a couple had managed to get by, including Allison Mathews and Katherine Fitzgerald.
-Previous Wanted or Most Wanted Witches that had been captured or killed will count from the start of the year till the first of August.
Dorothy had time to think as she's putting ideas, what the meaning of the time limit, and the meaning of the wording. She then had a thought and smiled.
"I think you misread the situation, Serena."
She looked up. "Come again?"
"Why would they say, additional 5 Witches per week?" Dorothy presents the rules. "But not increase the Wanted and the Most Wanted?"
"I guess the ones that are late, had to work harder I guess?" Serena lays on her back.
"But the previous captures of the Wanted and Most Wanted Witches from the start of the year had been included, but not the others. Why is that?" Dorothy continues to present the rules to her.
Serena is trying to come up with a theory, but couldn't. "Get to the point, please."
"Because the Non Wanted Witches are more common, but in order to keep their Rankings and their spots, they had to keep bringing in five more every week. But those who had defeated a Wanted or Most Wanted..."
"Already Qualified." Serena turns and stares at a smiling Dorothy.
"Meaning, those so called 300 that had already Qualified, are only falling for the front paper, but not the whole story." Dorothy stops their flying at the Yellow Brick Bridge as they're looking over the view.
"And the Magical Girl Academia are only looking for the best of the best, but in order to do that..."
"We need to bring down the Wanted and Mosted Wanted. Show me all of the Wanted Witches." Dorothy stood up as she leaned back to let Serena present the list.
"So many, but I doubt they won't let you bring them in." Serena look at her.
"But I may not want to kill anyone, but I will accept some Witches to some certain degree." Dorothy grins. "And I do have another method of making sure that me and my Wicked Witches can make it into the Games."
"And what will that be?" Serena turned off the List.
"Thanks to the Leaderboard with their names, I can make them disappear. At least till after the Games when me and my Witches qualified." Dorothy smiled down on the bridge.
"You're gonna kidnap them and then what?"
"Let them go. I've never been planning on killing, but I am a Wicked Witch after."
Serena looked disappointed by her claim. "But you're a Magical Girl."
"And like what the Witches call me on my Bounty List that one girl is trying to say, which she possibly told them that I'm..." Dorothy turned to her with a smile. "The Wicked Magical Girl."
Dorothy's first Witch cackled.
