About this ebook

A genderbent reimagining of the classic fairytale The Wonderful Wizard of Oz...

Theodore Gale is a twenty-five-year-old, unemployed, playboy cowboy with the propensity for getting into fights. After winning a bronco riding competition he decides to celebrate with a southern belle he sneaks to the barn at the Gale Farm. The following morning should have started with some kinky fun, but instead his life is turned upside down when a green tornado appears and takes Theo’s barn to another world.

With only his gray horse, Toto, as a companion Theo arrives in Oz. As he tries to make heads or tails out of this strange new world, he ends up liberating various villages from the tyranny of first, the Wicked Warlock of the East, who was killed accidentally when Theo’s barn dropped on top of him, and secondly, the Wicked Warlock of the West, Jadyn, who’d turned an entire village into toys, enslaved them, and was forcing them to brew potions.

It’s on the outskirts of Toy Village that Theo meets a damsel in distress, who is about to get ripped apart by crows. Her name is Anne Raggedy. She calls herself a Scarecrow, but Theo doesn’t find her very frightening, and actually ends up getting confused boners for the life-size doll. When Theo discovers that Anne used to be human, he decides to travel with her to the Emerald City in order to find a way to break her curse, so he can get laid. Joining them on their quest is a Cowardly Lioness and Cyborg Assassin named Tina Woodcutter.

    This is a work of fiction. All characters are invented. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

    Chapter 1:

    Yeehaw! Theodore Gale shouted as he whipped off his cowboy hat and twirled it through the air above his head. The young Southern belles seated in the rodeo stands squealed loudly in response, and Theo tossed them a roguish wink.

    With only his left hand clutching the horn of the saddle Theo almost ended up flying right off the wild, bucking bronco he was currently riding. Theo quickly put his cowboy hat back on, and returned his right hand to the horn of the saddle.

    That’s enough playing around. Theo thought. He really needed to win this rodeo competition since he was hard up for cash. His Uncle Emilio was an alcoholic and had blown all their money on booze. Again.

    Uncle Em was a dishonorably discharged marine. Theo didn’t know the details of why Uncle Em had been discharged, but it probably had something to do with his uncle’s bad drinking habits, volatile temper, and unwillingness to follow the rules.

    Nowadays, Uncle Em spent his days drinking alone at the farmhouse, and trying to forget the past. Emilio’s wife Henrietta had left him when he’d refused to stop drinking and go get a job.

    Theo and his Uncle Em were both currently living at a rundown farm in the middle of the prairie fields of Kansas. Theo was only living with his uncle since he had no other living relatives. Theo was only six-years-old when a tornado hit the research facility where his parents worked. The tornado literally carried the entire facility along with his parents to God knows where. His parents’ bodies were never found.

    Even though Theo had managed to graduate from a public high school Uncle Em didn’t have the money to send Theo to college. That’s how Theo ended up trying to find a job right out of high school. Theo didn’t really have any interests, however, and ended up just doing odd jobs for people who lived in his town. He ended up getting rather good at plumbing, carpentry, and gardening.

    ‘Odd Jobs Theo’ that’s what people called him. Anytime Theo tried to get a steady job he usually did something stupid that ended up getting his ass fired. Unfortunately, Uncle Em’s temper seemed to run in the family.

    When Theo had started bartending at one of the few bars in town he’d been fired for refusing to serve a man who’d obviously been drunk off his rocker another drink. Theo supposed it wasn’t really any of his business if the man died of alcohol poisoning, but he was a bit of a busybody.

    Later, Theo had tried working at the local diner. But when one of the customers had groped one of the waitresses Theo had clocked the S.O.B. right in the jaw. The Sheriff had arrived and had thrown Theo’s ass in jail for assault. Theo still didn’t see what he’d really done wrong since he’d only been trying to defend a lady’s honor. At least, the waitress had been grateful. Very grateful. Best B.J. he’d ever had, in fact.

    Theodore had a natural way with the ladies, and had gained the reputation of being a playboy. Even though he was a jobless bum, he had a handsome face, so the girls in town let themselves be seduced by his Southern charm, or had they seduced him? Theo suddenly mused.

    Either way, Theo had gotten into the habit of bringing a girl or two back home with him to the farm. So that Uncle Em wouldn’t find out what he was up to, Theo usually took the girls to the barn. Another thing he was surprised the girls put up with. But hey, maybe he was just that good.

    After a literal romp in the hay, the girls would usually sneak out of the stable building before dawn, leaving Theo naked and sated inside of one of the horse stalls.

    There was one thing that Theo enjoyed, but that didn’t really bring in any money, and that was horseback riding. It’s how he’d ended up in the middle of this rodeo competition riding a bucking bronco, and hoping to win a large monetary prize.

    As luck would have it, Theo won that day. To celebrate Theo went out to one of the local bars for a few drinks, and brought the cutest girl that had been flirting with him back home.

    The following morning, Theo was awakened by the sound of the girl he’d fucked last night sneaking out of the barn. Theo sat up and groaned when he noticed his morning wood. It would have been nice if the girl…what was her name? Sara? Sally? Had stayed a little longer to help him out with his little problem. Well, big problem, actually. But Theo didn’t like to brag.

    Hey, Sara! Sally? Wait up, babe! Theo called after her, rubbing sleep from his eyes.

    The girl paused just as she was closing the barn doors. It’s Samantha! she called back in an irate tone, and shut the door behind her a little harder than was probably necessary.

    I knew that! Theo carelessly called after her, and brushed some hay off of his chest that had been stuck to his sweaty skin. Shit.

    Theo’s gray Lipizzan horse, Toto, whinnied merrily in response as if making fun of Theo’s plight. Theo shot his judgmental horse a heated glare. Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, Toto.

    At that moment, the walls of the barn started to vibrate causing Theo to frown thoughtfully. What the…? Theo scrambled to his feet and started to search around the stall for his clothes. As soon as he’d found his jeans he tugged them on, and slipped into his cowboy boots next. His blue and white checkered shirt was covered in hay, and Theo grimaced at it before putting it on anyways. He spotted his cowboy hat perched on the stall door, grabbed it, and put it on.

    By the time Theo had finished getting dressed, Toto was pawing at the ground with his right hoof in a nervous manner and his nostrils were flaring in alarm. That can’t be good. Theo rushed over to one of the windows and peered outside. Theo’s sky-blue eyes widened when he saw an enormous green-tinged twister heading their way. Holy shit!

    Theo knew that his best bet was to get down to the storm cellar and wait for the twister to pass. But…he couldn’t just leave Toto behind like that. Toto was family.

    Theo entered Toto’s stall and started to stroke the side of the horse’s neck in order to calm him. Shhh, boy, it’s gonna be alright. It’s just a twister. It’ll pass us by and we’ll be just fine. At least, I hope it’ll just pass us by. Theo swallowed a lump of fear.

    The barn’s walls started to vibrate harder as the tornado continued its approach, and the wooden floor beneath his feet began to tremble. Then, the strangest thing happened. The barn started to spin like a top, and Theo felt like he was suddenly in a kiddy carnival ride.

    After that there was a strange feeling of weightlessness for a moment, and Theo was sent crashing to his hands and knees. Theo felt a strange pressure against the palms of his hands as if the entire barn was being lifted up off the ground.

    But that’s impossible. Theo struggled to his feet, made his way over to the window, and his jaw dropped at the sight before him. The barn was inside of the cyclone, and the strong winds were carrying various things through the air. Theo spotted an old bicycle, a wheelbarrow, and was that a live cow that was currently mooing in distress? Dude…no way.

    Theo rubbed at his eyes, wondering if he was still hung over from last night. Theo squinted at something that was flying through the air towards the barn. What’s that? Theo narrowed his eyes at the object that was still flying towards him. Then suddenly a baseball was slamming into Theo’s forehead. Oh. A baseball, Theo remarked dryly, right before he passed out.

    When Theo came to hours later, Toto was nibbling at his short ginger hair in an effort to wake him up. Theo groaned and batted Toto’s nose away. He sat up, and blinked owlishly around at his current surroundings. He was still inside of the barn, and sitting right next to the window.

    Theo’s head was pounding, and he reached up to tentatively feel the bump on his forehead from where the baseball had hit him. He wondered briefly if he’d just dreamed the whole thing - a tornado picking up the barn and then carrying it away to God knows where. That couldn’t have really happened, right? Naw, that’s ridiculous. That had to have been a dream, Theo mused aloud.

    As soon as he left the barn Theo was sure that he’d see that nothing had changed, and that he was still in Kansas at the Gale Farm. With a headache pounding behind his eyes, Theo pushed himself up to his unsteady feet and placed a hand on Toto’s flank for support.

    Theo took a couple of deep breaths before grabbing Toto’s reins. Come on, Toto. Let’s go see how much damage that twister did to the farm. I’ll probably be mending fences for days. Toto let out an exasperated huff as if to say: ‘lazy ass’.

    Theo kicked the barn doors open and stepped outside, leading Toto along behind him. Whoa. Theo blinked and gawked at the sight before him.

    Theo and Toto were standing in the center of a vast, rocky valley. And he was not alone. The entire valley appeared to be filled with miners that were hard at work as they lifted up their pickaxes and brought them down upon some large, strangely shaped rocks.

    Judging by the miners’ heights they were just children. This observation brought a frown to Theo’s lips. Child labor? Theo’s gaze was drawn to the iron shackles around their wrists and ankles that were connected by chains just long enough to allow them enough movement to be able to walk and swing their pickaxes. The miners’ faces were covered in sweat and dirt.

    One by one more of the miners seemed to notice Theo’s presence, and when they did they froze mid-swing of their pickaxes, and their jaws dropped open. Theo noticed that there was a combination of awe and fear in their wide eyes as they stared at him.

    Okay…forced child labor. That’s definitely a crime, Theo remarked. Something tells me we’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto. Toto neighed loudly and nodded his head in obvious agreement.

    He’s…dead. The Wicked Warlock of the East is dead! He killed him. He killed Dr. Doppelganger! He must be a Good Wizard…he’s wearing blue. The miners started to chatter loudly amongst themselves and with obvious excitement.

    Theo immediately put his hands up before him. Whoa, hey, I didn’t kill anybody.

    When one of the children stepped forward bravely, Theo realized that he wasn’t a child at all, but merely a short young man. The man had sandy blonde hair, and wide blue eyes. His clothes were in tatters and he was wearing the same shackles as all the others. But you did, Mr. Wizard, Sir, the young man began in what he hoped was a respectful tone, and pointed over towards the barn.

    Theo followed the young man’s line of sight and spotted two legs sticking out from underneath the stable building. Oh crap! The barn had actually landed on someone. This was so not good. He’d be arrested for murder at this point. Shit, shit, shit.

    Whoa, look, man. I totally didn’t mean for that to happen. It was an accident. I swear. I didn’t mean to kill anyone. Theo gave the short miners a beseeching look. Someone call an ambulance. Maybe the guy’s not dead. I can only hope. Theo rushed over and crouched down by the legs. Theo reached out and placed his hand on one of the man’s legs intending to try and pull the man out from under the barn.

    That’s when the strangest thing happened. At first, Theo thought they were ants crawling up from the body and onto his right hand. But they didn’t really look like ants. The tiny creatures that were crawling onto Theo’s hand and arm had round silvery bodies.

    If Theo didn’t know better he’d say they were tiny machines or nanomachines. In seconds, the ants had covered Theo’s entire right hand and forearm, and that’s when he began to panic. Ack! Get them off! Get them off of me! I hate bugs! Theo tried to brush the ‘ants’ off his skin, but then all of the ants solidified at once, until-

    What the fuck? Theo’s right hand and forearm was now covered by what appeared to be a medieval, steel gauntlet decorated with glittering rubies. It looked like something a knight from Camelot would wear.

    Okay. Now I know I must be dreaming. Theo grabbed the gauntlet and tried to take it off, but it didn’t budge an inch. Theo continued to try and pull the gauntlet off his right hand and ended up making constipated sounds as he did so. Urgh…nnghhh!

    Theo shot Toto an impatient look. Well, don’t just stand there, Toto. Help me get this damned thing off!

    Toto obediently trotted over, bit down onto the gauntlet, and started to tug. Toto walked backwards and Theo ended up getting dragged across the sandy ground. Hey! Wait! Stop, you stupid horse!

    Toto let go of the gauntlet, and let out an angry nicker at Theo for being so ungrateful. As soon as Toto had let go Theo fell back onto his ass. He stood up, dusted himself off, and that’s when he noticed that all of the short miners were staring at him.

    Okay. That’s not creepy at all, Theo muttered under his breath. He gave the crowd an expectant look and raised an eyebrow at them. So, how about that ambulance? he asked in a nonchalant manner.

    The blond furrowed his brow for a moment, but then smiled. I think you’re misunderstanding something, Mr. Wizard. We’re not angry with you that you killed Dr. Doppelganger. We’re incredibly happy and grateful.

    Theo blinked. So, wait, you’re happy I killed that guy? Theo jerked his thumb in the direction of the body. Was he that much of a douche?

    The blond gave Theo a confused look. I don’t know what a ‘douche’ is, but Dr. Doppelganger was an evil warlock. He used his dark magic to shrink us down to a size that would make us more manageable as his slaves.

    Theo could feel a headache coming on. Dr. Doppelganger? That sounded like the name of a comic book supervillain. And ‘dark magic’? Shrink? This guy was totally nuts. Unless…

    A movie. Yeah. Theo had somehow ended up on a fantasy movie set. It was the only thing that made sense. Theo smirked confidently. So, what movie is this set for? Lord of the Rings Four? That would make you all dwarves. Theo was nodding to himself since that made a lot of sense.

    At a loss, the blond shook his head. "What is a ‘movie’? And we are not dwarves. We are called ‘Munchkins’. At least, that is what Dr. Doppelganger called us."

    Theo clapped the Munchkin on the back, and leaned over to say in a hushed voice, Staying in character? I feel ya. As Theo was pulling his hand back it brushed against the chain between the Munchkin’s wrists and a strange whooming sound filled the air.

    Then the shackles around the Munchkin’s wrists and ankles glowed before they shattered to pieces. The Munchkin looked at Theo wide-eyed. You…freed me.

    I…what now? Theo frowned as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Great special effects.

    The blond Munchkin turned to face the crowd. Munchkins! Our Savior has arrived! The foretold Breaker of Chains has finally come to free all of Oz from Dr. Doppelganger’s tyranny!

    Theo rolled his eyes at the Munchkin’s theatrics. Here we go.

    The Munchkins were all acting suitably impressed, letting out startled gasps and allowing their eyes to grow wide. Theo thought it was very good acting. The Munchkins’ murmurs swiftly turned into loud cheers. The Foretold Savior. The Breaker of Chains. Chain Breaker! Chain Breaker! Chain Breaker! the Munchkins began to chant with obvious excitement.

    Okayyyy, Theo muttered.

    The Wicked Warlock of the East is dead! Dr. Doppelganger is dead! Long live, Chain Breaker! the Munchkins continued to shout out bizarre exclamations that didn’t really make any sense to Theo.

    What is all this? Theo wondered uneasily. Do they want me to ad-lib or something? Play the part of the hero? His shoulders lifted in a careless shrug. I guess I can play along until I find a way off this set.

    Theo raised his arms in a dramatic pose, and a cocky smirk curled his lips. Your savior has arrived! And my name is…Chain Breaker! Theo was having a hard time keeping a straight face as he said this.

    The resulting cheer was defending. Whooo!

    Toto bit Theo’s ass in order to wipe the smug look off of Theo’s face. Ow! Toto! Theo scolded his horse and rubbed at his sore behind. Toto just whinnied in amusement and tossed his head.

    Theo lowered his arms and gestured for everyone to fall silent. They immediately did so. Okay, I get that you’re all extremely grateful and everything that I killed the bad guy, but I really should be getting back home to my Uncle-

    He can free the others! the blond Munchkin declared suddenly.

    That’s right…he can free the prisoners! another Munchkin added with a happy expression on his face.

    Prisoners? Theo shot the blond munchkin a questioning look. Uh…who?

    Dr. Doppelganger kept some of us in cage and ran magical experiments on them. The blond shuddered and rubbed his arms. They’re still trapped inside of his lair. We cannot enter because of the protective spells he has placed on the entrance. Please, Chain Breaker, we need your help to free the others.

    Theo had already decided to play along with all this acting bullshit, and so shrugged. Yeah, sure, um, lead the way to Dr. Doppelganger’s evil lair.

    The Munchkin flashed Theo a happy grin before starting off. It’s this way, Mr. Wizard, Sir.

    Uh, enough with the whole ‘Mr. Wizard’ thing. Please, just call me ‘Theo’, Theo requested as he and Toto started off after the Munchkin. What’s your name, bro?

    My name is Blueberry.

    Theo snorted, as he had to hold back a laugh. Wow. I bet you were bullied a lot as a kid. Were your parents hippies or something?

    Blueberry glanced over his shoulder and gave Theo a confused look. Hippies?

    Right. You gotta stay in character. Theo winked at Blueberry. I get it. Still, this movie set is impressive, Theo remarked as he looked around the valley with interest. There were several wheelbarrows filled with strange, glowing orbs. More cool special effects.

    Hey, Blueberry, what are those glowing orb thingies supposed to be? Theo asked curiously.

    Dragon hearts, Blueberry said as if Theo should have known this already. When Theo just stared at him blankly he continued, They are the most powerful energy source that exists in Oz.

    Uh huh, Theo said, but didn’t sound all that convinced.

    Blueberry waved a hand at the enormous stone structures that the other Munchkins had been hacking away at with their pickaxes. Those are the fossilized remains of dead dragons.

    Theo squinted at the piles of rocks, and now that Blueberry mentioned it they did look like the skeletal remains of dragons. Dragons that had to have been eighty-feet-long when they’d been alive. Of course, Theo quickly reminded himself that dragons weren’t real and neither were these skeletal remains. It’s just like an elephant graveyard…minus the elephants.

    I suppose. The Munchkin stopped outside of what appeared to be a modern research facility. It was so similar in appearance to the place where Theo’s parents had worked that a chill of unease crawled up his spine. But, he supposed most research facilities had plain cement walls and metal doors. He was just being stupid. This the place? Theo asked.

    Blueberry nodded. Yes. We are unable to enter because of the protective spells Dr. Doppelganger has placed on that door.

    Protective spells, huh? Theo noticed the fingerprint ID pad next to the door and shrugged. Well, here goes nothing. He lifted his right gauntleted hand, pressed it against the ID pad, and watched as it scanned the gauntlet.

    "Access granted," a synthesized female voice intoned before the metal door slid open.

    Startled, Blueberry jumped backwards and eyed the door warily. The door spoke! He turned to look at Theo with wide, starry eyes. You are a most powerful Wizard.

    Yeah, sure, kid. Whatever you say, Theo agreed, and gave Toto a stern look. Stay here, boy.

    Toto let out an irritated huff and pawed at the ground in front of him with his right hoof. He never liked being left behind. Theo thought that Toto would have enjoyed being a smaller creature. Like a dog. Toto probably would have never left Theo’s side if he were a dog.

    Theo chuckled at Toto’s antics, which had earned a suspicious look from Blueberry. Hey, don’t worry. I’ll be right back, boy. Apparently, I’ve got some more people to rescue.

    Theo and Blueberry entered the building and started their way down a hallway with a linoleum floor and bright, overhead fluorescent lights. It wasn’t very long before they reached another metal door with a fingerprint ID pad next to it.

    Theo pressed his gauntlet against the ID pad, and the door slid open easily. The duo entered what appeared to be a mad scientist’s laboratory. There were several workbenches covered with strange looking high-tech, mechanical devices. Most of these devices looked like weapons and guns. And there were super computers. Yep. A mad scientist’s laboratory alright. Great special effects. Theo commented in a blasé manner. Welcome to Tony Stark’s Lab.

    As Theo scanned the lab’s interior his attention was drawn to the cages lined up against the far wall, and which increased in size. The smallest cage was about a foot high, and largest cage was twenty feet high.

    Theo approached the largest cage and peered inside to see a twenty-foot-tall Munchkin. Great special effects. Theo leaned forward and his gauntleted hand brushed against the cell’s lock. A whooming sound filled the air before the door unlocked itself and swung open.

    The Munchkin started to emerge from the cage and Theo had to step back to give the guy some room. You look so real, Theo murmured to himself before reaching out and intending to wave his hand through the hologram. Only, his hand didn’t pass through the giant, but hit something solid. And very real.

    Thank you for freeing me, Chain Breaker, the giant said in a low, gruff voice.

    Theo gasped and stumbled backwards in shock. His back hit one of the workbenches causing the items on it to rattle. You’re not real, Theo breathed. You’re just a hologram.

    Blueberry was giving Theo a concerned look. What is wrong, Mr. Wizard, Sir?

    Theo’s mind was reeling. Will you stop calling me that? I’m no wizard. I’m Theodore Gale: playboy, bronco rider, and currently unemployed bum. Theo reached out to grab the table in order to steady himself, and ended up accidentally knocking something off the table. Theo automatically bent over to pick the item up, and was then blinking down at the strange looking device he was holding.

    It looked like some kind of high-tech gun. There was a dial on the gun that pointed to two settings: ‘SHRINK’ and ‘ENLARGE’. A size manipulation ray gun? No freakin way. This can’t be real. None of this is real. This is just a movie set, and I’m ad-libbing like a jackass. And these are all just special effects. Right, guys? Theo gave Blueberry and the giant Munchkin an almost pleading look.

    Blueberry and the giant shared a worried glance. Theo let out a frustrated noise before walking over to the cage that was only a foot tall. Look, I’ll prove it. He crouched down before the cage and touched the lock with his gauntlet. That same whooming sound filled the air before the lock clicked and the door swished open.

    A foot-tall Munchkin girl stepped out of the cage and smiled up at Theo. Thank you for saving me, Chain Breaker.

    You’re not real, Barbie. Theo told the girl sternly. You’re just a hologram. Special effects. I get two people dressed up inside of a giant suit, but there’s no way a tiny person can be real. Theo reached his index finger out and poked the girl’s stomach.

    Theo expected his finger to pass right through the hologram. It didn’t.

    Tee-hee. That tickled, the Munchkin girl giggled at Theo just like the freakin Pillsbury Doughboy, or in this case Theo supposed it would be ‘doughgirl’.

    Holy shit! Theo straightened and stumbled backwards in shock. That little girl was real. He looked down at the size manipulation ray gun in his hand. I’m holding a freakin ray gun. He started to panic, and then began to hyperventilate.

    Blueberry approached and placed a hand on Theo’s arm. Are you alright, Mr. Wizard, Sir?

    I told you to…just call me ‘Theo’. The cowboy removed his hat and ran a shaky hand back through his short, coppery hair. If this isn’t a movie set then…am I dreaming? Yeah. I must be dreaming.

    Blueberry’s befuddled expression turned concerned. Mr. Wizar-er, Theo?

    Theo noticed that all three ‘beings’ were looking at him with obvious concern.

    Chain Breaker, the Barbie doll began. Can you return me to my original height? Please?

    Theo looked down at the ray gun in his hand and shrugged. Maybe. He moved the dial on the gun to ‘ENLARGE’ and pointed it at the Munchkin girl. Here goes nothing. Even if this is a dream…these people still need my help. Theo thought before pulling back on the trigger, and a blue ray of energy exited the gun before hitting the little Munchkin girl.

    The Munchkin girl began to increase in size until when she was five-three she told Theo to stop. Stop. This is my original height.

    Theo immediately let go of the trigger. Mondo bizarro. While watching a foot-tall girl get big he couldn’t help but notice that the size of her breasts had also increased dramatically along with her height.

    The Munchkin girl noticed that Theo’s hooded gaze was focused on her breasts but wasn’t angry. On the contrary, she smiled saucily, and batted her eyelashes at Theo. Thank you, handsome.

    Theo flushed, and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. You’re welcome, Ma’am.

    The giant Munchkin cleared his throat to get Theo’s attention. Me next. Please.

    Theo smirked, and spun the ray gun in his hand. You got it, buddy. After he’d returned the giant Munchkin to his original size of six feet, Theo used his gauntlet to unlock the rest of the cages, and then used the ray gun to return all of the Munchkins
