Once upon a time, there was a little girl from Kansas who inadvertently stumbled into a magical world : Oz ! There, she met a host of colorful characters, including three who became her best friends for life : the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion ! She was able to return home to her aunt and uncle, but she had many more adventures in Oz and met so many people that she stopped feeling lonely ! Until that sad evening when, back at her aunt and uncle's isolated house, they were attacked by a gang of criminals who thought the place was being used as a drug stash house for a cartel that they could have stolen to make some money ! Things spiraled out of control, and they killed Dorothy's aunt and uncle before leaving her for dead. She was brought back to Oz before the end, to her friends, who were shocked to see their friend in such a state ! This awakened in her three friends a rage unlike any Oz had ever seen, a rage that would bear fruit years later. Her friends were finally able to reach Kansas, and patiently, they devised a plan to eliminate all those responsible, directly or indirectly, for what had happened to their friend ! When things begin, they want their enemies to know : death will come for them... and there is nothing they can do to stop it ! This is not for revenge... but for justice !
