Prologue: Midnight Madness
Three figures walked along a small dirt path. A man, woman, and child were silently treading through the area.
"Mommy, I want to go home." Whispered the child
"I know dear, so does mommy, but we have to run away from the bad guys." said the woman as she bends down to meet her daughter's face. "Remember, that daddy and mommy are keeping you safe so please be quiet and don't complain." she said gently. Her eyes were full of worry. She and her husband must make it out of Alice Kingdom by tomorrow if they wish to save their daughter.
"Ok mommy." She said then yawned. "I'll keep going." She placed her tiny hand in her mother's. Suddenly they were attacked.
"Going somewhere Yuka and Izumi?" said a man covered in all black. In the Alice Kingdom they were called Watchers and kept order in the Kingdom. They were brutal and merciless to wrongdoers. And Yuka and Izumi experienced the Watchers wrath too. The Watchers were quick and lethal. Yuka immediately used the Barrier Alice she stole. The Watchers fired electrical attacks and fire attacks, as the barrier began to weakened, Yuka knew that it would be hopeless. Maintaining the best barrier she could, she knelt down and kissed her daughter's forehead, and said, "Mikan, I want you to run away as far as you can when I teleport you. Don't look back. Your father and I will always love you." And with that she used her Teleportation Alice and teleported Mikan away. The barrier dropped in that moment and the Watchers hit their mark. Yuka cried praying her daughter was safe then whispered her final words, "I love you Mikan." There they lay hand in hand, as the Watchers took away their bodies.
Mikan was teleported only some yards away due to Yuka's weakness. The Watchers caught her immediately. She bit the Watcher that was holding her and escaped his grasp only to be caught and gagged by another. "Wait! We want the girl alive for the Choosing!" said a gruff voice. They dragged Mikan to the death scene and she got a glimpse of her mother and father covered in blood as the Watchers dragged their bodies onto a cart. Mikan screamed against her gags and cried. The Watchers kicked her to shut her up. She immediately quieted down. The Watchers brought her back into the Kingdom and left her at Alice Academy with an old lady named Kyu that became her guardian. That day was forever imprinted in Mikan's memory. The day when 5 year old Mikan lost her parents.
