"My question exactly. Don't worry Ozma - I'm sure the Nome King put more enchantments on them than just turning them into orniments."

"Well, that's a real confidence booster.." Claire said, not really meaning to say it alound. She scrunched her face for a second, then tried to half smile, pretending not to have said it at all.

"Taye - I think you should go back to Shiz. Try to find out what's going on between Polly, The Nome King, and Polly. Who trusts whom."

Claire gave a sad, sideways glace to him. Elphaba was right. He probably should go back to Shiz, but it didn't mean she wanted him to. She gave his hand a little squeeze and a small smile. "That's probably best considering you're really the only one of us that isn't completely ostracized by now..." She turned to Elphaba. "I feel very useless. I know I'm the next target, but tell me what I can do, please."

Taye gave a small smile, squeezing Claire's shoulder. He winked. "That's just because I'm not famous yet. Give me time and I'll be an outcast too." He was joking of course; all of this was the fault of Mombi and the Nome King, not themselves. And while he didn't want to leave Claire -- especially not with everything going on -- he knew that it was for the best. In the past month or so he had worked on his magic a little bit with the help of Claire, but it was nothing but card tricks next to the company he kept. Diplomacy was his real talent. He nodded to Elphaba. "I'll do whatever I can to help."

She pulled him close for a moment and whispered "I love you." in his ear, kissing his cheek. Then, in a flash, he was gone from their company.
Everyone fell silent for a moment. "I really can't just sit here. Really, I can't. I have to do something even if it's wrong!" She opened a bubble in her hands to view Mombi's office. Sure enough there was the wicked thing...pulling a staff out of a book! What on earth was that?
"That can't be good..." she said, getting closer to the bubble, examining it. She couldn't quite hear what she was saying. She assumed it was the Nome King she was speaking to through her crystal. However, her own magical viewing device hindered Claire's a bit, made the volume right next to mute. "Drat! I wish I could hear what she was saying..."
The bubble glowed, then popped. Mombie's magic was counteracting her own. "Drat!" She said again. Well, that solved it, there was only one way. Somebody had to be in the room to be able to hear. "I'll be careful, I promise, but i'm going. I can't sit here. I can't. I refuse. I have to hear what they're saying. I can blink it rather easily, without any noise or visual proof i'm even there. I can be completely invisible. I'll be right back." And with that, she winked out.

After hearing everything going on, Ian was confused. Well, not so much confused.. just irritated. He didn't know what to do. Things seemed to be going out of hand. HE wanted to take action. HE wanted to do something. He felt as if everyone was just beating around the bush.
Where Ian was from, things were handled upfront. If something needed to be taken care of, everything was done in order to get it taken care of immediately. There was no waiting around.
Ian knew what he had to do, but he knew that if anyone else found out, they wouldn't let him. He needed to practice his powers, he needed to train himself, and he needed to do it fast. He wanted to see Ellie, he wanted to finally save her. It was time he split from the group.
"Elphaba, I think I am going to head out towards Shiz." he said, pulling her aside to where it was just them two talking. "I can't handle this anymore, I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines. On my way to Shiz, I will be learning how to control my powers, as well as developing new ones." Ian said as he grasped a book titled "Spells - The useful, the powerful, combined." which he had picked up at the Governor's Estate while Elphaba dealt with the Nome King. "If no one here will help me learn how, then I will have to do it on my own." he admitted. "I've been doing alot of thinking. While the wishes of Ellie were to stay here and do what I can from HERE, I also should pay attention to what could happen if I wait for her to just fall into our hands. And I'm not sitting around to wait for it. " he assured her.
And with that, Ian lifted his hands in the air, and shouted "In Vas Teleportare!", nothing happened. He had obviously been working on this spell from the book. He shook his head and shouted again. And with that, a blue flash appeared, and he was gone.

Ozma looked up at Elphaba, a little lamely. "What do we do now? Everyone left. What can I do to help?"

Elphaba became very huffy. "Great. Looks like it's just the two of us left - while all the others go and get themselves kidnapped." And with that she wisked Ozma away to her home on the outskirts of Oz.
