Chapter 3: Izuku and The Mad Tea Party and a Mad Man's World.
Last Time
Izuku sniffled loudly, seeing he was being genuine, replied, "I promise.", the two boys then hugged each other and afterwards they continue into the forest hand in hand to the March Hare's house.
Now
Soon the two boys came across a very unusual looking house, and by unusal I mean it looked almost exactly like the head of a hare! Instead of have a square or rectangular build it was rounded on all sides, two chimneys made the ears, two windows made the eyes, a pink planter made the nose, two white doors made the buck teeth/mouth, and the roof was made out of straw giving it a crazy looking hairdo.
Allen led Izuku behind the strange little house and as they came around Izuku could slowly hear the sound of music, chatter, and laughter. It was a bit strange at first, but soon he found the source, out not too far from the back of the house was a gated area with the biggest table he had ever seen! "What's all that noise?", Izuku asked Allen?
"Why it's the Mad Tea Party of course.", he replied as if it were obvious.
"Mad Tea Party?"
"Yes, Mad Tea Party.", Izuku wondered what made it mad at all? "You see this is no ordinary tea party. It's mad because it never ends! It's never ended, never started, never picks up, and never slows down!", Allen explained with some excitement in his voice. When Izuku thought about it, that really did sound mad!
They came to the gate, which was all metal and painted black in a victorian style, and Allen easily pushed the gate open like it wasn't even locked or even had a lock in the first place. They crossed over a mini stone bridge with an equally mini stream and came upon the table. To say it was big before was an understatement, it looked far more suitable for giants rather then small boys! As he came closer he saw it had equally large chairs in all different styles sizes and colors, the table itself was made from Mahogany wood and had a linen cloth laid on top that had a multitude of stains all over it.
Even though the table had many chairs for many people, on the top, Izuku could very clearly hear only three people; one was snoring loudly and squeaking, one was giggling and laughing up a hysterical storm with the sound of clattering silverware and china, and the other couldn't seem to keep their mouth shut while changing the subject or tone of their voice every five seconds. Allen brough Izuku over to one of the chairs at the end of the table where he pulled out the chair with all of his might! The chair made a loud and irritating screeching sound as he pulled it causing Izuku to cover his ears from the pain! Allen motioned for Izuku to hop on the chair and Izuku came up to the chair, which was many time larger than him, and tried to climb onto the seat. He struggled and flailed as he tried to pull himself up, but to no avail. Eventually Allen simply gave Izuku a hand by lifting the young boy onto the seat by literally jumping onto it! Izuku was shocked that Allen could even jump so high, considering he didn't look it a first.
Allen let go of Izuku and told him to stay seated for a moment. Izuku listened and sat down in the very large and really comfortable seat. Allen hopped off the seat and not a second later did Izuku feel the motion of his seat being pushed in and the sound of Allens grunting as he did so. After Izuku's seat was pushed in he saw another seat at the head of the table move back and Allen jumping right onto it! Allen then dug his feet into the seat and grabbing the table by its cloth he pulled the seat in closer to the table. Izuku could see Allen was using all his force as his face turned tomato red when he pulled with all of his might!
When Allen finally brought his seat in close enough he flopped down onto the chair with a sigh of relief escaping his lips. When Izuku finally looked at the table it completely shocked him! Not only was it immensely long and was seated for far more people, but it had the largest assortment of tea party fares imaginable! All different tea kettles and pots that streamed and tooted rhythmically creating a very thin fog in the air. Each one was distantly different possessing unique shapes, sizes, and colors! Some even having many handles, spouts, being cut in half or sideways with all the tea still inside it! Their were plates and tray and racks of different sweet, baked goods, finger foods, and so forth spread all over! The setup was simultaneously extremely well kept and a complete chaotic mess at the same time, one thing was certain though this Tea Party really was mad!
The guest, or should I say only guests, were even stranger then the place setting of the tea party; there was a sleeping Dormouse, a giggling March Hare, and a chatty Hatter! All of them looking quite mad themselves.
The Dormouse was about Izuku's size light grayish brown and fast asleep, sat between the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, snoring loudly while squeaking in between breaths. He wore a checkered blue and white vest with a bell on his head like a hat.
The March hare was as tall as Allen and spoke in a very thick Scottish accent rather than a British accent like Allen, while occasionally throwing silverware china or condiments like pepper. He was a light to dark brown and had straw tied between its ears. He was very giggly, laughing profusely at the slightest thing that came out of the Mad Hatters mouth, even if it was food or drink. He wore a white button up shirt under a blue vest and a red bow tie with a monocle.
The Mad Hatter, oh he was something else completely, it was hard to say weather he was human or not?! He had a very thick British accent like Allen and was at least twice the size of any human, even bigger than All Might, which Izuku noticed immediately! His skin was a sick green color, in fact every thing was wrong with his….well everything! His ears were enormous even for his size, his nose looked like it couldn't decide to be long and pointy or big and round, his plain colorless eyes looked like they couldn't decide on being at the side or on in the front! He wore black polished shoes with traditional spats with long black faded dress pants, he had white gloves and a straight jacket on like Allen that was also unclipped leaving his arms free, only differences was his was his actually fit him. And the cherry on top was an enormous and long top hat that was once green but now was a faded blue black with many patches on it holding it in one piece, it too looked like a checkerboard, and each patch had a different symbol in it that Izuku had never seen before. It even had a card in the brine that read 'In style 10/6'. He was holding a cup of hot tea and talking very fast constantly changing his tone and the subject every five seconds, while the March Hare laughed at everything he said.
Izuku noticed music playing in the back round and looked behind him to find about 20 or so different record players playing different song at the beginning or cutting off at the songs end. Some of the flowers and trees were even playing songs along their branches, vine, and stems like a bunch of string instruments.
Izuku turned back to the table to notice that all three people, creatures, guest? Oh whatever! All three guests were now silent or awake(in the dormouse case) and staring right at Izuku in uncomfortable awkward silence. Izuku looked between Allen and the three guests uncomfortably and when no one made any sign of movement or speaking he decide to break the ice with a civil hello. Though before he could open his mouth to breath air the Mad Hatter stopped him as he asked very sternly, "Who are you?! What do you want?! Why are you here!? There's no room for you! No room! No room!"
Izuku didn't need to look at the table to know that there was more than enough room for them all, "There's plenty of room!", he argued back slumping down in his chair!
"Have some wine laddy!", The March Hare offered in an encouraging tone.
Izuku looked around the table but saw no wine, only tea, "There is no wine?', he questioned?
"That's because there isn't any, ya wee twat.", said the March Hare.
"Then it wasn't nice of you to offer!", Izuku replied angrily!
"It wasn't very nice for you to sit down without being invited!", scowled the Mad Hatter!
Izuku slumped down into his chair a little bit further knowing that the Hatter was right, he wasn't invited to this party so he shouldn't be the one getting annoyed at them. "Hatter its alright, he my guest. This is my friend.", Allen piped up in an exhausted tone.
The Hatter looked over to the head of the table and made a face like he just noticed Allen was there, and with a gleeful cheer he said, "Allen! Where did you come from?"
The dormouse yawned and in a half asleep voice answered, "From his mum.", the March Hare began to laugh hysterically at his witty comeback.
"Never mind that! Never mind! Why didn't you introduce us to him sooner?", The Mad Hatter asked staying on topic?
"Tell us! Tell us!", The March Hare chanted excitedly!
Allen stood in his chair, "Hatter, Hare, Dormouse.", he acknowledged each one by name.
By this time the dormouse had fallen asleep again and had to be awaken by the March Hare yanking on his whiskers! "Huh-Wha-?", said the awakened Dormouse.
"This is my new friend Izuku Midoriya.", he introduced them to Izuku. Izuku wondered why he was introducing them by first name? Then he remembered that Allen acknowledges people by first name, so same must go with the guests.
"Izuku.", Allen called Izuku's attention. "This is the Dormouse, the March Hare, and the Mad Hatter. Dormy, March, and Hatter for short.", he Introduced him to them.
"Well any friend of Allen's is a friend o' mine!", said the Hatter.
"Here here.", yawned the dormouse.
"I'll drink to that!", agreed the March Hare as he poured tea from a teacup back into a teapot through the spout and drank it through the top.
"Yes well now that formalities are out of the way, Hatter I need-.", Allen began until the Hatter cut him off saying, "Here son have some more tea.", he said to Izuku as he poured more tea into his already filled glass.
"But I don't need any more, in fact I need less.", Izuku states as the tea overflowed his cup.
"No no no no no no no no!", states the Hatter in a stern voice. "You mean 'I can take more from less'."
This made no sense to Izuku, not in the slightest. "That doesn't make any sense? In fact it's practically the same thing?", Izuku reverted.
"Oh no it's quite different wee lad.", said the Hare. "It like saying 'I see what I eat' is the same as 'I eat what I see.", he said while eating dunking a plate in his tea glass and eating it like a donut.
"Or saying 'I sleep when I breath' is the same as 'I breath when I sleep.", added the Dormouse.
"It's even like saying 'I like what I take' is the same as 'I take what I like.", finished the Hatter as he slurped his tea.
"Ahem! Hatter.", Allen said in a kind tone to get the mad man's attention.
"Here boy have a biscuit and jam.", Hatter said paying no mind to Allen and shoving a biscuit in Izuku's face!
"Hatter.", Allen repeater himself.
"Um, thank you, but I-.", Izuku began but was cut off by the March Hare.
"Let's change the subject!", he half yelled while grabbing a mallet, from who knows where, and snacking the Hatter so hard on the head his hat caved in on him.
The top part of the hat opened and the Hatter spoke though it like a mouth, "Splendid idea!", and poured an entire pot of tea down the opening of the hat.
"Hatter!", Allen said a little more sternly.
"How about a riddle.", the Hatter offered freeing his head from his hat.
"Oh god no, not this again.", Izuku heard Allen say under his breath.
"Wonderful.", the dormouse agreed with a yawn.
"I'll take sugar!", said the Hare, getting off topic.
"Who wants sugar?", asked the dormouse?
"I do.", replies the Hare. "How many lumps? One or two?", the Hare seemed to ask himself.
"Two!", answers the Hatter.
The March Hare took off the Hatters hat and using the same mallet yells, "ONE TWO!", as he smacks the Hatter on his bald head!
However the Hare seemed like it was going to continue hitting the Hatter as he raised the mallet again, it seemed as if the Hare really couldn't count, and before the mallet struck the Hatter he moved out of the way and the dormouse was struck on the head instead, twice, waking it up! The Hatter grabbed his hat from the Hare and clearing his throat continued with the previous conversation, "Now then back to the riddle."
"Hatter!", Allen said even more sternly in a raised tone!
"Why is a raven like a writing desk?", asked the Hatter.
The Hare scratched his chin and replied, "I don't know?"
The Dormouse only muttered something incorrectly.
And the Hatter said, "Neither do I.", as if he was asked the riddle himself.
"HATTER!", Allen yelled at the top of his lungs as he stabbed a knife into the table!
However when Izuku looked at the knife he saw it wasn't an ordinary knife, it wasn't even on the table previously which means Allen had it on his person! The knife itself was menising to look at; it looked like a regular cutting knife but it was so much larger! It's blade alone had to be as long as Izuku's arm and much wider! The handle was made from brass and had little engravings on it, even the blade had a painted vine design on it with little specks of dried blood.
At the sight of the knife and Allen's screaming voice, Izuku's blood went cold and his body froze up with fear! And it wasn't just him, everyone and thing had stopped cold! The air around them turned ice cold, the warmth from the sun was snuffed out by clouds, everything seemed to turn grey, and the wind blew an awful sour smell! The tea pots stopped puffing our steam, the records and plants stopped playing music, even the guests stopped doing whatever they were doing and simply staying in place like wax figures!
The Dormouse awoke with such fright in its little eyes and stayed awake, the Match Hare stopped giggling and began to chew his nails nervously, and the Mad Hatter stopped talking, drinking, and breathing all together! Allen then stood up on the table and pulled out his giant kitchen knife with ease as he nonchalantly walked over to where the Hatter was seated unmoving. All the while Izuku couldn't take his eyes off the bone chilling expression in his heart stopping crazy bloodthirsty look in his eyes!
When Allen finally came to the Hatters seat he grabbed him by his giant green nose, that actually made a little squeaking noise, and brought him close to his face, knife in hand. "Hatter.", he said dangerously calm, though he was anything but!
The Hatter gulped and replied, "Y-Yes A-Allen?"
Allen took a short breath and said sternly, "Now that I have your attention, I'm going to ask you one question I'll talk slowly and use small words so you can understand me clearly, got it!?", the Hatter nodded gently. Allen took another breath and said, "Where. Is. The Rabbit!"
The Mad Hatter then quickly reached out one of this arms grabbed something and held it up to his head for Allen to see, it was the March Hare. Who laughed nervously and waved at Allen. Allen growler and grabbed the Hare, in the hand that held the Hatters nose, and threw him across the table!
"I said RABBIT! Not HARE! Where is the White Rabbit!", Allen yelled with fire burning in his eyes!
"Ooooooooh!", said the Hatter with some form of relief in his voice, "The White Rabbit! Mister. 'I'm always late for everything'! No time even for anything at all, not even tea! Why didn't you say something sooner?", Allen snarled like an animal at his comment.
The Hatter gulped and knowing that Allen was in no mood for madness he said to the savage looking child, "Well, I see you're in no mood for small talk, eh."
"No I'm not Hatter!", Allen agreed angrily.
The Hatter gulped nervously again and explained trailing off every so often, "Well...you see Allen...the thing is...I don't know where he is."
"WHAT?!", Allen screamed in surprize!
"what?", Izuku squeaked out silently.
"What do you mean by 'You don't know where he is!' Bullshit! Of course you know where he is, you know everyone's business!", Allen yelled accusingly at the Hatter, glaring his knife dangerously close to his face!
"Normally I would agree with you, but I say what I mean and I mean what I say Allen! And what I say is the truth! None of us have seen hide or tail of him for quite some time at all!", The Hatter tired to explain calmly, or as calm for the nervous wreck he was!
"The last time he came by he had to get that blasted bloody pocket watch of his fixed, again.", added the March Hare as calm as he could.
"And afterwards he left without so much as a civil thank you or mention of his current business.", said the now fully awaken Dormouse.
"And we haven't seen him since, and that's the truth!", added the Hatter.
"And when was this?", asked Allen raising a skeptical eyebrow!
"Why back when I think old March here was still mad.", answered the Dormouse motioning to the Hare.
"It be true lad.", agreed the Hare.
"You're all Mad!", Allen shot back in a raised voice!
"Thanks very much.", thanked the Hare.
Allen rolled his eyes and tightening his grip on the Hatters nose and pointing the knife towards him he asked aggressively, "And when will he be back!?"
"I'm not sure.", said the Hatter shrugging his shoulders. Then he made an expression like he remembered something that could save his skin, "But I can probably guess when he might be back."
"Oh? And hows that?", Allen asked skeptically?
"Simple really, that blasted watch of his is always on a tight schedule, just like him. So as such it also has a certain time when it completely breaks. So he comes to me to fix it every time, on the dot!", exclaimed the Hatter traumatically!
Allen finally let go of the Hatters nose, showing he was pleased with the answer, but still kept his knife at his face, showing he wasn't completely pleased with it, and putting his free hand on his hip asked, "And when exactly will that be?"
"Well dose anyone have the time?", asked the Hatter to his two other friends.
"We really haven't the time!", yelled the March Hare as he took a pocket watch from a cup of tea!
"The time? The time? Who has the time?", Questioned the Dormouse?
"He has the time!", The Hatter shouted pointing towards Izuku!
"No Time! No Time! I'm late! I'm late! I'm very very late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodby! I'm late, late, late!", Yelled the White Rabbit as he suddenly burst through the gate behind Izuku! "No, No, No I'm overdue! I'm really in a stew! No time to say hello, goodby! I'm late, late, late!", he yelled as he ran right up the table and straight over to the Hatter not even noticing Allens presences!
"Oh Hatter! Dear Hatter! Please help me I'm in dire need of your help!", The white rabbit shouted in fear as he waved his watch in the tall man's face!
The Hatter snatched the watch from the frazzled creature asked said calmly, "Oh let me guess. You're watch has gone off and broken its ticker on you hasn't it?"
"Yes Yes Yes! Can you fix it?", answered the rabbit! "But please be quick about it or I'm likely to be turned to stew if I'm late!"
The Hatter took the watch up to his huge ear and shook it violently, causing the sound of jingling metal parts to be clearly heard. "Well I see the problem.", said the Hatter simply. "It's no wonder you're late. Your watch is exactly two days slow."
"T-T-T-T-Two Day Slow!?", The White Rabbit half shouted in fear looking like he was on the verge of a heart attack!
"It's a simple fix really, and it won't take too long either.", said the Hatter rescuing the rabbit with a pat oh his head. The Hatter then dunked the watch in tea and whipping it around smacked it onto the table causing it to break open and reveal all its parts and mechanisms.
"Now then let's have a look shall we?", said the Hatter as he placed a salt shaker on his eye like a microscope, and in doing so cause ounces of salt to fall from the shaker onto the watches innards. "Well here's the problem.", the Hatter cried happily as he took a fork. "This watch is too full of wheels and spring and gears!", he stated as he used the fork to scoop all innards out.
"Oh no no no!", cried the rabbit! "Oh my poor watch! Not my gears! Not my wheels! Not my beautiful springs!", he continue to cry as he desperately tried to catch the dislodged parts flying all over the place, even pulling a spring that got caught on his nose!
"It needs butter. BUTTER!", yelled the Hatter!
"BUTTER!", the March Hare yelled into the rabbits ear!
"B-B-B-B-Butter?", the White Rabbit asked confused before looking at the butter near him and handing it over to the Hatter, who took it and began to apply it into the watch like a slice of bread.
The White Rabbit was already in the beginning stages of a panic attack, seeing this only made it worse as he tired to get the Hatter to stop smearing the butter into the watch, "No No No! You'll get crumbs into-!"
Only to be easily pushed aside by the Hatter, smashing the remains of the butter into the white creatures face, who reassure the Rabbit saying, "There's no need to worry, I'm only using the very best butter!"
"What makes it the best?", Izuku asked himself?
"Why its made of the finest weed in all of Wonderland.", answered the Dormouse. Izuku was a bit skeptical of his answer. "Milkweed that is.", finished the Dormouse.
"Tea?", asked the Hare?
"Tea! Oh yes I never thought about tea, of course.", said the Hatter pouring a whole pot of tea into the watch.
The white Rabbit managed to get the butter out of his eyes and tired again to stop the Hatter, only to be stopped by the March Hare's foot. "Sugar?", Offered the Hare.
"Sugar two spoons, yes thank you.", Thanked the Hatter as he grabbed two tea spoons from the Hare, instead of the sugar, and mashed them into the watch!
"Please Be Careful!", Cried the Rabbit, only to have a jar of jam placed in his paws by the Hare who offered, "Jam?", and inadvertently delivered it to Hatter.
"Jam! Yes! I almost completely forgot about jam.", said the Hatter taking a big knife full and smearing it into the watch.
"Mustard?", offered the Hare.
"No no no! That's just crazy!', cried the Hatter! "Now lemon, that's what it needs, thats much different.", as he squeezed lemon juice into watch, or what was left of it by this point.
Allen scoffed at the insanity happening in front of him and in a light and displeased tone offered, "well I say it need more pepper."
"IT NEEDS MORE PEPPER!", screamed the Hatter as he took a pepper grinder, uncapped it and poured the whole container into the thing that use to be a watch!
At this everyone on the table(excluding the White rabbit standing there in shock) all began to violently began to sneeze! The Hatter, in fact, made such a large and powerful sneeze that most of the watches contents flew right at Allen's face! Forchantly for him, he reacted fast enough to kick an empty plate in to air and use it as a shield to cover his face at the last second! "Ew.", Allen said simply as he dropped the plate from his clean face.
The White Rabbit now looked even whiter than before as he simply stood there completely frozen at the violent treatment his precious watch was getting! He then swirled around grabbing Allen by his collar and in a frantic screamed yelled, "Why did you have to encourage him to add more! And pepper of all thing, PEPPER?!"
Allen smacked the creature paws off of him and yelled back, "Why did you give him your watch?! Despite knowing fully well that he's mad!"
"We're all mad!", the Rabbit yelled back!
The Hatter then closed the watch up thick that it was perfectly fixed. Though when he did the watch immediately began to melt like ice cream on a warm day! The Hatter looked closely at the watch examining it while scratching his chin and immediately started, "Hmm, it seems it needs more tea."
"More Tea!", yelled the Hare as he threw the lid off a teapot!
The Hatter then took the melting remains of the watch and placed it into the half filled pot! At this point the white Rabbit had completely fainted while Allen simple rolled his eyes at all of their performances. Meanwhile Izuku was more confused and scared rather then entertained or anything else for that matter. The March Hare then jumped on the table grabbed the Tea pot and began to shake it all around like a marracha! He even began to shake his whole body like he was dancing to Mambo music! Not too long after the record players and plants began to play Mambo music for the Hare to dance too!
The dance went on for around several minutes with the Hare dancing all around the table breaking cups, dished, and tea pot. Knocking over food and drink alike even stepping on it or kicking it off the table completely! The Hatter then set out a clean piece of bread on the table and the March Hare hopped over to the bread and poured the contents of the teapot onto the bread! What strange concoction even came out of the teapot couldn't even be described in words?! The Hatter then placed another clean piece of bread on to forming a sandwich of some kind, only for the March Hare to take a frying pan out of nowhere and smash the sandwich flat!
The Hatter then took a knife and cut off the edges of the smushed thing, like you would with a sandwich, while saying reassuringly, "Their we go that should do it."
When the Hare lifted up the frying pan underneath it layed a perfectly new, bright, and shiny golden pocket watch ticking away normally! Izuku was absolutely blown away at this spectacular that made not one lick of sense to him! Allen on the other hand just looked bored with it as if he saw it a hundred time over and had become numb to it. At that moment the White Rabbit awoken from his episode and with glassy eyes looked around to see where he was, when his eyes fell on his prime condition pocket his eyes opened wide with sparkling wonder and over joyment!
He hopped to his feet and went around to everyone at the table and thanked them over and over for fixing hs watch, even if they didn't do anything! He finally hopped over to Hatter and taking the giant strange mans gloved hand shook it rapidly giving his most sincere thank to him! "Oh thank you Hatter! Thank you so very very much! I'm completely indebted to you!", the Hatter simply waved it off with a snobbish expression like it was nothing.
The White rabbit then reached for the watch being held between the Hatters fingers saying, "Now then I'll just take my watch and be-.", but the Rabbit never got to finish that sentence as he cut himself short feeling a disturbance in his gut! He turned around fast only to see a sharp object being flung at him from high vlocity! He didn't even have time to react or even gasp in surprise, because suddenly felt himself being flung back with such imens force by the shape object and impaling him rit into a nearby tree!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!", screamed the White Rabbit in bloody chilling pain as he felt himself hit the tree and stick their!
Izuku immediately shut his eyes tight and covered his ear, but it was no use in drawing out the pain stricken screams from the impaled White Rabbit! Everyone was at the table was dead silent or hiding their face away from the gruesome sight of their aquanitice! All except for Allen who had a cold look on his face hearing and seeing what had been done to the poor frantic creature!
For it was him that threw the sharp object at the Rabbit and implying it onto the tree like a wall decoration, and not just any sharp object it was the giant cutting knife that he had from earlier! Allen still stood their lock in his throwing position from hen he threw the knife, still unmoing, still unfeeling, still cold.
The White Rabbit continued to scream as he went into detail of his fatal injury, "Oh how could you! How could this happen to me! ME! Oh the pain! The pain is excruciating! Absolutely excurasting! Oh the Blood! The Blood is everywhere! Oh I hope I die from blood loss first! I don't want to die from the excruciating pain rushing through my whole body! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!", he screamed louder!
Izuku was shaking in his seat as he heard the White Rabbit tortuous dieing pain! Above the blood curdling screams he could just barely hear the sound of bare feet walking across the table towards him and felt a shadow cast over him! Izuku looked up to see the cold expression of the once happy and slightly off older boy. It it was that expression that chilled him to the center of his bones! "It okay to look.", he said coldly.
Izuku was shocked at what he just said to him, why did he say, how could he say i, and why did he say it to him! Izuku shut his eyes again and rapidly shook his head no as he mikly said, "Why would you want me to do that?! Why would you say it okay for me to look at the poor rabbit you just impaled on that tree?!"
He heard Allen make an exasperated sigh as he explained, "That's because I didn't impale him leathley."
Izuku's attention was brought back by the boys stange word, and replied in question, "Leathley?"
"It mean not to harm to cause death. So I didn't hit anything important on him. In fact I didn't even hit him in general.", Allen explained.
Izuku looked up at him confused and asked, "If that the truth then why he he screaming like that?"
Allen pinched the bridge of his nose and replied aggravated, "Its because hes a complete drama queen."
Allen pointed a finger over to the White Rabbit and Izuku begrudgingly looked up, only find what Allen said was true! The White Rabbit was indeed impaled on the tree but not by any of his body parts. Only by the color of his waistcoat as he dangled their like a limp fish flopping about only inches off the ground, in fact the scene was almost more funny with the right context.
Izuku straighten up in his seat as Allen walked away from him and over to the edge of the table where he jumped off and during his decent almost seemed to gently float down. He walked over to the still screaming White Rabbit and stood there with his sleeves crossed waiting patiently for the Rabbit to realize his actually prediument.
"Oh Allen how could you! How could you use the Vorpal Bald on me when I went through so much trouble to help you get it! I thought we were friends! How could you do this to your own friend! Oh the Pain! The pain is horrible! My blood! My blood everywhere! I can feel my innards spilling out!", the Rabbit continued to yell!
Eventually Allen got fed up with all the screaming and snapped at the animal yelling, "Oh calm the bloody hell down you! You're not dead, dieing or anything else!"
"Then why am I covered in blood! Oh I can't look at myself!", yelled the rabbit!
Allen just looked at the rabbit like he completely lost it(which he has), "You're wearing a red waistcoat you bloody buck tooth corn carrot muncher!"
The Rabbit stopped squirming about and looked down at himself and noticed that he wasn't bleed out and only hanging the Vorpal Blade from the collar of his waistcoat! The Rabbit then let out a nervous laugh which slowly turned into laughter of pure relief(Kinda like Bugs Bunny), pretty soon everyone at the table, minus Izuku and Allen, were all laughing in relife!
Soon Allen got tired of all the crazy laughter and grabbed the Rabbit by his ears while swiftly taring him away from the Vorpal Blade holding him up. He then held the creature up to his face with a very displeased look on it.
The White Rabbit stopped laughing slowly and gulped down a breath asking, "I see that you're not very pleased with something Allen. And I think that something might be me?"
"No really? What make you say that?", he asked rhetorically. He then ripped the Vorpal Blade off the tree and walked over to the table with the White Rabbits ears tight in his fist.
"Oh dear Oh dear me, whatever have I done this time?", said the White Rabbit in a fearful tone.
When he returned to the edge Allen jumped back onto the table in a single leap, just like a frog! He then snagged the pocket watch from The Hatter in a nasally grunt and trudged over to where Izuku was sitting. He held the creature up so he could see Izuku asked, "Rabbit, do you know who this is?", he asked rhetorically.
The Rabbit gulped and replied, "Um, a special guest of yours?"
"No!", he immediately shouted. "No actually you're right their, but you're still wrong! This is Izuku."
The Rabbit then gave a slightly relieved face and a forced smile as he said, "Well it's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance young Izuku. Id tip my hat to ya if I had one."
"No more pleasantries!", yelled Allen! "Do you know why he's here?"
"For tea?", Allen made an annoyed face at this answer. "Okay so not for tea then. Well then its quite simple really, he's mad of coarse.", the Rabbit answered.
"Well you're wrong! He not mad!", Allen shouted at him.
"But of course he's mad Allen, otherwise he wouldn't be down he in the first place.", argued the White Rabbit.
"Wrong again! It was a mistake he came down here in the first place, not only that it's your mistake! So you have to fix it!", Allen stated angrily!
"What!? My fault he's down here? Oh don't be ridiculous it couldn't have been my doing. Mad people come down here all the time, with or without me. Besides I bet the boy doesn't even remember how he got here in the first place.", the Rabbit stated boldly with a snobbish attitude crossing his arms to exemplify his point.
Allen only gave a deadpan look to the white creature as he held the Rabbit facing Izuku once more and calling his name asked him kindly in his charming British accent, "Izuku, is this the White Rabbit that you told me about? The one that you chased down into a deep hole?", Izuku nodded. "And is this the pocket watch he was holding?", he asked holding up the pocket watch? Izuku nodded again. Allen held te rabbit up to his face with a animalistic snarl on his face!
The White Rabbit was now profusely sweating and gulped nervously, "So what's your excuse for this time, hmm Rabbit?", Allen asked in a sweet yet threatening tone.
"Please Allen you know it's not my fault! I don't dictate who sees me up above or who goes into Wonderland! It's not of my doing, I promise you that's the truth!", explained the Rabbit like a nervous wreck!
"Well…", Allen trailed off in his sentence in thought. "Okay I believe you, mostly.", he said begrudging.
The rabbit pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his sweaty brow with it in relife. "However!", Allen suddenly started. "Since you did bring him down here. It's going to be you that take him back. NOW!", Allen commanded the creature!
That White Rabbit look at him with worry on his face as he frantically said, "No no no no, I can't! I can't! I really really can't! If I do I'll be late! Very very late!"
"So you're saying you'd rather not fix your mistake and leave Izuku to be stuck down here for life?", Allen asked the Rabbit with anger climbing on his face.
"If it means I won't be late then YES!", said the Rabbit!
At that moment Izuku could feel his heart drop into his stomach, how could the rabbit say something so selfish?! Was being on time far more important and morally right then helping someone that they cause pain to?! Even if he was an animal why was he so unfeeling and selfish to someone he very well have doomed to entrapment in a backwards world full of mad people and creatures!? Izuku could feel tears filling in his eyes at the White rabbits words, was he really going to be stuck down here? Was he never going to see sane people, his mother, All Might, or anything else ever again!? Was he really going to be stuck in Wonderland, forever.
Allen saw Izuku's face tear up with the thought of never escaping this mad world, and if he wasn't already angry from the White Rabbits decision then now, now he was blazing furious! As if the world moved in slow motion Allen made the most horrible expression imaginable and showed it right at the Rabbit, whose face slowly went from frantic to absolute horror! Allen then squeezed the White Rabbits ears tight and in a weightless slow feeling whipped the rabbit over his head and slammed him back first onto the table so hard that every tea cup, cake, and pot of tea on the table all vibrated from the impact!
The White Rabbit now layed back down on the table with the wind knocked out of him and his vision gone blurry from the impact. He just managed to get enough of his vision back to see a furious Allen looming over him with golden pocket watch in hand. The White Rabbit seemed to disregarded Allen's murderous look and tried to make a grab fro his precious watch, but was quickly stopped short by the foot of Allen pinning him down by his throat! The White Rabbit tried to move Allens foot for some breathing room but only got a quick breath before gasping at the sight of the Vorpal Blade only centimeters from his nose! Only thing the Rabbit could do was gulp at the sight of the angry boy with with his life and death in either hand.
"Now you listen to me you overgrown lump of Hasenfeffer! I don't give a Bandersnatches ass about what you're going to be late for! Because if you don't get Izuku back home you're going to face. The. Concencenses!", Allen explained in a morbid ton! Allen didn't even explain what consequences would become of Rabbit if he didn't help them, whether he didn't want to scare Izuku anymore or saying their will be consequences is far more terrifying than explaining it is up for debate.
"But but but!", the Rabbit tried to argue!
"But what!", Allen yelled at the creature under his bare foot!
"But I really can't be late for this summons! I really can't!", the Rabbit continued to argue.
"And Why's That! What's so important about this summons of yours!", asked Allen in a yell!
"I've been summon by…", the White Rabbit trailer off like he was scared to say the person's name or wether he did have enough air to talk. "The...Red Queen.", he squeaked out.
"The Red Queen!", Allen stated with fear in his voice.
"The Red Queen!", shouted the Hare in fear as he stuck his head in a teapot!
"The Red Queen!", shouted the Hatter in fear as he hit his face in his hat!
The Dormouse only fainted at the name or fell asleep again, it's alway hard to tell the difference.
"Whos the Red Queen?", Izuku asked carefully?
"You don't know who the bleeding Red Queen is lad?!", asked the Hare hiding in his teapot?
"No?", Izuku replied.
Allen made an unusual sounding sigh and replied, "The Red Queen is the tyrannical ruler of Wonderland, who rulers over all with a bloody fist."
"She's as mad as mad can get! And that's coming from me!", stated the Hatter in fear still hiding in his own hat!
Allen sighed and glaring down at the Rabbit said, "Rabbit. I don't care if the bloody Queen of Heart did summon you! Since the Hatter fixed you're damable watch you'll probably be a few minutes early now. So you can spare a few minutes, can't you!?", Allen asked rhetorically!
The White Rabbit gulped and lightly nodded his head. Allen slowly and carefully took his foot off the Rabbits neck to give him some air, when he completely took his foot off the White Rabbit neck, he slowly rose to his feet and brushed off his coat before taking a deep breath of air. Allen saw the Rabbit relaxing and put his guard down for moment, however the moment he did in a quick flash of white fur raced across the table and the White Rabbit made a mad dash for his pocket watch! He reached out and tried to grab it and then make a quick get away with it in toll, however Allens guard wasn't completely down and foresaw the Rabbit trying something like this and immediately countered! He pivoted on one heel grabbed the Rabbits wrist and neck by the collar of his waist coat and flung his over his shoulder by his waistcoat and threw him head long into one of the many half eaten cakes decoration the table!
The Rabbit landed face first into the Cake with a large SPLAT and bits of cake flew all over the table, some even got stuck in Izuku's hair and face! Now Allen was really mad for the White Rabbit trying to pull a fast one on him, and angrily marched over the the creature, who was now dislodging himself from the cake, and waited their till he wiped the cake from his eyes! When the Rabbit had gotten his vision back he immediately noticed the murderous look in Allens face and the Vorpal Blade above his head ready to bring it down on him! The White Rabbit let out a gasp of terror as he was cornered into the cake, Izuku also let out a shrill whimper as he shut his eyes before the brutality!
The White Rabbit was about to let out a scream until he saw Allen place his watch on the table ready to not stab him, but instead his beloved watch! "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", cried out the Rabbit! "Please not my precious watch it was an unbirthday present!"
"Oh really? And why shouldn't I, hmm? You obviously don't give a Bandersnatches ass about Izuku's well being, so why should I care about what happens to your material property?!", Allen asked in a raised tone!
Allen got to his feet with the Vorpal Blade still pointed at the Watch like a ransom victim and walked casually to the Rabbit, and very very closely to his fuzz face! The White Rabbit back off as Allen got close with his murderous fire blazing in his blue eyes. "I'll cut you a deal Rabbit.", Allen started. "I promise you that no harm of any kind shall come to your watch as long as you take Izuku back home! Once you fulfill your part I'll give you back your watch, no strings attached, and you can go about your merry way to the Bloody Red Bitch! For...whatever the hell she wants you for! Have we got a deal?", asked asked more like a threat then an offer?
The White rabbit sighed seeing no way out of this and begrudging nodded his head. The White Rabbit shook off all the cake and frosting off his fur and coat, which flew all over the place, and fixing his outfit he sprang to his feet hopping all around the table half shouting, "Well come along then, we don't want to be late. Late! Late! Late! No! No No! We must be going come along!", He hopped off the table with Allen not too far behind with pocket watch at Blade point!
Meanwhile Izuku was still in his seat frozen in fear at what kind of transformation he just saw his new forend go under! He knew that Allen seems a bit off but he never expected him to go from happy, intelligent, witty older boy to full on basket case in a matter of minutes! Izuku was more terrified of Allen now then when he first meet him at the Vale, and now he couldn't even move! Perhaps now he knew the reason Allen was wearing that straight jacket. He didn't even know if he wanted to go back home if that meant traveling back with Allen who was starting to look as mad as the people and creatures down in Wonderland!
Until he was pulled from his paralysis by Allen, "Izuku! Come on! Were gonna get you home finally!", he called out to him with some form of glee in his voice.
Izuku slid off his chair and followed behind Allen, he turned back to the Mad Tea party guest and waved a quite goodbye.
"So long lad! Come back real soon!", called out the March Hare.
"Yes yes. Come back very soon, and stay for tea a bit longer!", called out the Hatter.
And no response from the dormouse, just loud snoring.
Soon Izuku felt something pushing on his back and saw the White Rabbit pushing on his back with all his might saying, "Come Along now young Izuku, no time for dilly dally! You don't want to be late! Late Late Late!", Izuku picked up pace with the speed frantic rabbit and the two face older boy.
.
.
.
For quite some time they walked on back the way they came in complete silence, the only sound coming from the talkative White Rabbit shouting at the two boys to hurry along not wanting to be late, the sound of the two boys footsteps, and Izuku muttering to himself about Allen. Izuku soon fell short behind the older boy and the rabbit as he walked slower, and slower, and slower until he came to the point that he was standing in place unmoving, doing nothing but muttering quietly to himself.
After a moment Allen soon realized that his friend had fallen short behind them and was standing in place unmoving, looking at the ground, and muttering to himself with an unusual expression plastered across his face. Allen walked over to the young green haired boy, but he didn't acknowledge his presents or even show any signs of movement. This worried him greatly, it worried him even more when he called out his name softly and tried to place a sleeved hand on his shoulder, but only got Izuku moving his shoulder away in fear like a hurt animal. Allen was worried why his friend was acting this way and asked him what was wrong. When no response came he saw that Izuku was trying to formulate a response and waited patiently for a response.
While the White Rabbit was chomping at the bit for the two boys to just end this already and get on with it!
Without looking up from the ground Izuku asked in a meak tone, "Allen."
"Yes.", Allen replied softly.
"Are…", Izuku trailed off for a minuted. "Are you mad?", he half expected the older boy to react violently and covered his head with his hands in protection for whatever was to come.
Though nothing came from the older boy, instead he stood there as still as Izuku, even the world around them seemed to stop in time as it waited in anticipation for the answer. Eventually Allen made a small sigh and calmly replied in a equally meak tone that almost sounded sad, "Yes, I am. Mad as a hatter, and worse so."
Izuku finally looked up at the older boy to see him hanging his head down like he was appearing to be on the verge of tears. Almost all of Izuku's fear of Allen seemed to wash away at the sight of the older boys veruntibile state. He even started to feel bad for him seeing him like...this, but he still had questions before he could make up his mind about Allen and he was the only one to answer these questions. Though now he did even feel half right about asking him these things, but he took a shaky breath and asked, "You said mad people are people who have been hurt right?"
Allen nodded silently.
Izuku took another shaky breath and asked cautiously, "Were...were you hurt too?"
At first Allen was quiet, but not quite and climbing to anger like before, he was quite climbing to sadness. He took a shaky breath and replied, "Yes. Yes I was. I was hurt very very badly. And many many times too. I want to be sane again, I don't want to be mad! I just want to be like everyone else and not trapped in this maze of craziness in my head!", he said falling to his knees and grabbing his head with tears starting to form.
Izuku fell to his knees too to make sure that the older boys was all right. He reached out a hand to him, but Allen immediately shot up his face staring right at him! This caused Izuku to real back in fear, but he soon realized that he wasn't looking at him just in his direction(due to the glazed over look in his eyes).
Then Allen continued with his explanation, "And I tried to get better, I really did. But no matter who I went too or what I did or who I begged for help, none of them would even spare me a passing glance. No one helped me, no one at all, and so I descended into complete madness. Now I fear Ill-Ill-Ill...never get better.", tears then flowed down his blue eyes in long streams.
After Allens explanation he had all the evidence he need on what he thought about the mad boy, so he came close to him as he continued to cry and enveloped the older boys head in a hug. Allen stopped crying as he felt the younger boy's arms wrapped around his head, he stood their unmoving and frozen as if this was the first hug he's received. For a while the both of them said and did nothing, just sat there in each other embrace.
Eventually Izuku finally piped up and said, "I'll help you. I'll help you get better. I don't know how, but I'll find a way. I'll take your hand though the maze and help you out of it so you can find your sanity.", Izuku's words were more than enough for Allen to be brought back to tears once more.
He moved himself out of Izuku's arms and asked with horses tone, "Do-Do you r-really m-mean it?", Izuku nodded slowly. Now the tears flowed from Allens eyes again in huge quantities, Izuku's kind words and selfies act was the first time he had heard it from someone who really meant it! He grabbed the young boy in a hug and only managed to choke out the thank you, over and over! Izuku hugged the mad boy back knowing not what to do for him at them moment, but only to hug him back and be their with him in his time of weakness.
One would say that the scene before them was sweet and heartwarming for anyone to witness, however some other would disagree. And that someone was the White Rabbit who had about enough of this sentimental candy stuff, and frantically hopping around the boys began to cry, "Their no time for all this sentimental nonsense! We really have to be go-.", but the Rabbit stopped himself seeing Allens crying face holding his watch in his open mouth ready to take a bite out of it! The rabbit remained quite for a moment and continued in a meak quiet tone, "Or you can take all the time you'll need, I'll just be over their waiting.", and went over to sit on a rock under a tree.
Allen put the watch away and continue to hug Izuku staying in in comforting embrace, something he had not felt in a long time, for a few moments longer. Though he soon realized that when he tried to leave the smaller boys hug he did budge an inch. He lifted his face only to see the peaceful sleeping face of his green haired friend. Allen sigh and giggled softly at him, he must have been completely worn out; mentally, emotionally, and physically from his raging adventure with him. As quietly and gently as he could, he scooped the smaller boy into his arms and cradled him with his head resting on Allens shoulder, and Allen supporting him by his bum. He then turned around and started to make his way down the path to the rabbits hole with the now sleeping boy. The White Rabbit saw that the two of them were finally done, whatevering, and bounded off his rock and cries very loud, "Well it's about time! I hope you're ready-", but was soon cut off by Allen, "Sshhhhhhhhhhhhh!", Allen scolded the creature with a death glare. The Rabbit faulterd back a bit and in a hushed voice continued, "I hope you're ready to go?"
Allen looked at the still boy in his arms and nodded to this. "Then let us be on our way shall we?", said the Rabbit in a hushed voice.
Allen nodded again and took the lead, which was soon headed off by the White Rabbit sprinting ahead. Meanwhile Izuku laid on Allens body like a big mattress enjoying the smooth rocking motion when Allen took a step, the warmth radiating off of his straight jacket, and the soothing sound that Allen hummed happily to himself. Which all put Izuku in a deep and peaceful sleep.
Soon Izuku was suddenly jolted from his wonderful nap by a sudden shaking motion! He lifted his head quickly and rubbed his eyes to get off the sleepiness and refocus his vision. When he finally got his vision and brain working again he saw that he was being held in Allens arms like his mother would, not only that he saw the bright and comforting smile he alway saw on Allens face. He glowed at his cute little half awaken face and greeted in his charming British accent, "Good morning lil broccoli."
Izuku, who was still half awake, replied groggily, "I'm not broccoli."
Allen giggled at his cute expression and said, "Well you're hair says otherwise."
"In that case I should call you little big grapefruit.", Izuku said a bit offended.
"Grapefruit!?", Allen stated like he got offended even more than him, which made Izuku froze in place for a moment. "I'm more partial to cantaloupe.", Allen teased while sticking out his tongue.
Izuku tried to stay mad at him but soon couldn't hold back his laughter! And he was right, he really did look more like a cantaloupe then a grapefruit. The two boys laughed for quite some time until Allen could hold Izuku any longer and accidently dropped him on his back. "Sorry, soory, sorry! He apologized over and over while trying to control his laughter. "I didn't mean to drop you. It was an accident I swear its the truth."
Izuku wanted to scold Allen for dropping him but he also couldn't control his laughter and it came out more like he enjoyed it, "You couldn't have put me down before you started laughing, or at least dropped me gently!?"
"I'm sorry, really! But I've been carrying you for quite some time and my arms locked up on me.", Allen explained between his giggling. He took Izuku's hand and lifted him up to his feet where the two boys regained their composure, as they did Izuku took in his surroundings and saw that he was back in the Vale of Tears once again. He almost dreaded coming back to this place after he nearly got permanently lost and meet the rude and confusing Cheshire Cat. Though now that he had a guide, no, a friend to help him, he soon realized that this place really was beautiful just like how he admired it the first time he came here and saw it in all its wondrous beauty.
After they did get their composure back they turned around to see the impatient and scoulding face of the White Rabbit rapidly tapping his foot. "Well come on then! You're nearly there!", cried the Rabbit as he moved ahead of them in a hurry!
"Rabbit is right Izuku, were almost back to where you started your journey and soon you'll be back home in no time!", Allen sated happily.
Though Izuku could very clearly hear the bitter sweet tone in his voice, he was sad that he was leaving. And if Izuku was being honest, despite all that he had witnessed and went though, he was sad that he was leaving too. Because he wasn't just leaving behind a crazy world full of backwards logic, that no one would believe exists, he was also leaving behind a friend. A dear friend no less, one that he had come to be so very close too in such a short time.
So as they walked closer and closer to the tunnel that lead to the rabbits hole, Izuku thought hard and quickly to himself knowing this would be the one and only time he could ask this. He finally made up his mind and taking a deep breath he turned to his friend and began, "Allen will you-.", but he soon stopped his sentence when Allen suddenly crumpled to the ground clutching his head and groaning in pain!
"Aaaaaaaarrrrg!", Allen moaned in pain!
Izuku fell to his knees grabbing at the older boys jacket overflowing with worry as to what is going on to his friend!? Suddenly the White Rabbit came to Allen's other side with worry painted on it small face, as he shook his head and softly spoke in a fearful tone, "No no no no no no no! Not now! Not now! Not now! NOT NOW!", he reappeared with his voice getting louder and louder!
Izuku frantically looked between Allen and the Rabbit wonder what to do and what was even happening?! "Rabbit! What's going on? What's wrong with Allen?!", Izuku asked the scared creature?!
The White Rabbit looked at him with a serious look on his face and in an equally serious tone commanded, "You have to run, now!"
Izuku was now scared, scared and very much confused!? Was Allen in pain, would he be okay, why does he have to run, is there something chasing them, what what is it?! Izuku had so many more questions to ask but didn't get the chance as the White Rabbit repeated himself this time more sternly, "Listen to me young man! You have to run, and you have to do it NOW! Their no time for you to waste!"
Izuku was shocked and scared and confused at the same time, what was wrong, what was going on?! Izuku wanted to ask these questions and more but Allen finally piped up through his pain and in a horses voice said sternly, "Izuku! Listen to Rabbit! You-You have to run! Run for the hole and don't stop running!"
"But what about you!? Why are you in pain?! Why do I have to run!?", Izuku asked frantically.
"Don't worry about me! There's no time to explain, you have to go before it's to late! GO! RUN! NOW!", Allen shouted at Izuku!
Izuku stammered for a moment as he weighed his options of what to even do! But soon flight or fight kicked in and with his adrenaline surging through his body he turned around and bolted as hard as he could down the way he came to the Rabbits hole! As Izuku ran for his life, all around him he felt as if time had slowed down to a near standstill, all around him he could feel every detail in the environment, like his senses had been cracked up to 13! While he tried to pick up speed to break out of this time trap with only the sound of his blood rushing through his ears he could clearly hear one sound that cut through the silence like a hot knife! That voice belonged to Allen who was still yelling at Izuku despide his excruciating pain! "KEEP RUNNING! DON'T STOP! RUN FASTER IZUKU, RUN!", he chanted! "DON'T LOOK BACK KEEP-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!", Allen suddenly let out a blood chilling scream of pure suffering!
Even though his friend kept yelling at him not to look back Izuku had, for the most part, listened and kept running. But once he heard that awful scream he had to turn around to see if his friend was alright, and when he did he would never be able to unsee the sight that laid out before him ever again!
The once serene beauty of Wonderland was no more, faster then the naked eye the Vale went a complete 180 from mystical fantasy forest to living nightmare hellspawn! The trees dried and decayed leaving behind twisted old pieces of rotten twisted wood coming out of the ground that seemed to bleed out red with lims and corpses hanging from their branches like fruit! The blue skies turned blood red and the clouds turned black hazy and polluted giving off little light and a sulfur smell! The ground underneath his feet had been turned into pure raw bleeding flesh and served organ, limbs, and other body parts that saturated the air with a purifying rotten smell that burned the nose! The creatures had been reduced to cackling twisted demonic looking creatures that had body parts and chunks of flesh missing, while constantly trying to kill one another weather for survival or sick pleasure! The flowers and other plant life looked dead and twisted bleeding a red substance and snapped at anything that came to close! The giant game pieces had bed broken, chipped, shattered or covered in blood/corpses laid atop of them! The wind was gone and replaced by horrid and shrill screams of pure suffering and wailing with crying! The puddles, streams, and rivers ran with blood chunks of flesh and body parts that swam in them live fish!
.
Everything.
.
And I mean EVERYTHING!
.
Was in the the simplest of words.
.
A living NIGHTMARE!
.
Izuku had never been more terrified in his whole entire life! He wants to stopped where he was fall on the ground, close his eyes, and wait for Allen to wake him up from this nightmare! He wanted to believe that this was a nightmare and he was still sleeping peacefully in Allens arms! But he wasn't he could feel the hot arid air, he could smell the horrid smells around him, he could hear the screams and the crying of god knows what! He was awake and all of this was real!
With all his might he still had he started running and that's just what he did, with every last bit of his courage he turned around closed his eyes and ran faster then he ever had! He ran, and ran, and ran until he came to the tunnel! He didn't even hesitate when it no had been turned into a bloody mouth, and slid on his belly right inside where he grabbed the handle of the door and flung it right open! He got to his feet and and ran headlong into the soft white bed where he first woke up! He dashed to it and jumped right onto the tall piece of furniture and yanked the covers on top of him where he hid underneath and closed his eyes to convince himself what he had just saw was a lie!
.
Meanwhile with Allen, he was having a whole different experiences altogether! He was still on his knees with the agonizing pain in his head and hyperventilating heavily! Now it had been made even worse with the hellish environment around him and the White rabbit had too been turned into a demoice looking thing! One ear was missing the the other one down, his eyes were red and crazing looking, his clothes tatted and shredded and speckled with blood, his nails and teeth had turned to sharp claws and fangs, and his voice was now echoed and horses giving it a demonic feel!
"Allen please, you have to snap out of it!", The not so White Rabbit pleaded with him!
Allen was still shrunken to his knees in the now flesh made ground with blood soaking into his jacket and sleeves splattering in his face and bald head! He could feel Wonderland around him going insane yet again, he could see the horrors of his past flash before him in the reflection of the blood pooled on the fleshy ground, with his mind already slipping back into madness once more! He couldn't calm down, he couldn't see, he couldnt breath, he couldn't think, he couldn't do anything expect feel his mind and world crumple and go completely insane!
He thought this was the end, for him, for Wonderland, for all hope of any sanity altogether! He was ready to give up, he wanted to give up, but something told him otherwise. And this something had a very familiar voice with a demonic overtone to it.
"Pull it together Allen and calm the hell down!", commanded the new voice.
This is what Allen needed for him to break out of his trauma induced trance and finally looked up. Where Izuku was once stood now sat the demonic and twisted form of the Cheshire Cat. It too looked as twisted and mad as the White Rabbit. Its body and fur even more mangy and smelling putrid with blood splattered all over its body, one ear had been torn with pieces of flesh exposing muscle and bone! Its yellow eyes were red and insane losing, its huge grin was now full of sharp teeth jagged and a seemingly never ending stream of blood flowed from the spaces in its teeth down its lip and onto the ground!
Allen looked at the cat while he was still hyperventilating unable to catch his breath, now that he was out of the trance he could plainly see what had become of Wonderland! And to be honest he would rather be back in that trance, at least he wouldn't have witness the horror around him and staring him right in the face!
"Quit it with another one of you're episodes and pull yourself together Allen!", commanded the cat.
Allen managed to gain enough air just to quickly squeak out. "I-I cant! My-My Wonderland is falling apart, along w-with my m-mind!"
"And you just want to give up, just like that?", asked the cat?
"Y-Yes, I-I want to give up. I-I can't-take it anymore.", Allen said breathlessly.
The demonic Cheshire cat only looked at the blad bloodied boy with a strange look on it twisted face, and resorted. "So your just going to leave him, down here forever? With no way out and let him also slip into madness along with you? Is that what you want?"
Allen looked at the strange cat and asked, "Who?"
"Izuku."
"Izuku.", Allen whispered his name like it was the only thing to hold onto.
"If you don't pull it together he will be lost forever, just like you. Because if you can't do it for yourself, then do it for him. So, what's your decision then?', asked the cat?
Allen looked to the ground and continued to hyperventilate. He looked into the reflective surface of the blood and this time didn't see his hellish past flash before him, but instead he saw all his adventure that he had spent with Izuku, the tears they shed, the laughs they had, the fun they experienced! And it was incredible to witness all over again! Allen huffed a few more time before he started to breath slower and slower until he was breathing normally again. He took one more deep breath and when he was in control again he got to his feet weekly and looked toward the tunnel to the rabbits hole.
"You're right Cheshire.", he said without looking at the cat. "I have to stay strong, if not for myself then for him."
The Cheshire Cat smiled at this, but not is usal creepy sadistic smile, this time he smile warmly at the older bald boys revelation. "Then I wish you luck to get him home.", and with that the cat disappeared.
Allen slowly took one step after the other as he made his way to the holes entrance with the White Rabbit not too far behind taking the rear. Allen ignored the environment around him and kept trekking along, he eventually rested for a moment at the 'mouth' of the entrance got to his hands and knees and crawled into the opening. He came to the door and found it wide open with the corruption of Wonderland slowly creeping in. He crawled through the door and slammed it shut after the twisted rabbit came in behind! The corruption that got in quickly disappeared after, as everything in this part in Wonderland always stayed uncorrupted, but not fully logical. Allen breathed heavily in relief as he fell to the ground knowing that he was now in the only safe spot in all of Wonderland.
Even the White Rabbit had some of the corruption of Wonderland drenched from him, but not all of it; his still had his crazy eyes and long teeth and claws, but his clothes looked better and his ears were almost as good as new, with many of the blood stains gone. Allen motioned for the Rabbit to wait in the corner and the Rabbit silently nodded his head and stood off to the side.
Woody looked up from his spot and saw the half twisted Rabbit i the corner and Allen covered nearly entirely from head to toe in blood! He sighed and asked in his british accent, "It's happening again, isn't it?"
Allen said nothing and nodded his head, Woody sighed and replied, "I was afraid you were going to say that. And here i was hoping you finally dethrone the royal malignant bitch."
Allen didn't face the sentante door and stated in a silent voice, "This time will be different, this time I will dethrone, her for good!"
"Then I wish you the best of luck lad.", Woody commented.
Allen let out a shaky breath as he slowly approached the shaking lump on the white bed in the fireplace. He grabbed the chair from the glass tea table, with the cake and potion still on top, and dragged it over to the bed where he stood atop it. He looked at the shaking bundle of sheets and lightly rubbed it. The lump stopped shaking and slowly revealed itself to be a teary eyed Izuku.
For a moment Izuku looked relieved to see his friend and for a moment he did, but once it passed a look of shock spread across his face as he saw his friend covered in blood! "A-Allen!", Izuku stammered in woory! "Wh-What happened to you!?"
"Nothing, nothing happened.", Allen lied as he tried to shake his self clean. "Are you alright?"
Izuku slowly nodded.
"Good good. I'm sorry for worrying you like that.", he said with relief as he held the small boys cheeks in his hands. "You were very brave Izuku, I'm proud of you."
"What happened to Wonderland?", Izuku suddenly blurted out and Allens expression immediately changed to fear.
"You saw, didn't you?", he asked and Izuku nodded. Allen looked down and said in a low voice, "Oh no no no no no no no no. This is bad. Very very bad."
He looked back up at Izuku and said in a serious voice, "I can't let this happen, not now and not ever again.", Allen began to roll up his sleeves and brought them up to Izuku's head.
Izuku saw this and in a confused voice asked, "Allen? What are you doing? What's wrong? What happening to Wonderland? What's going on?"
Allen sighed knowing that he couldn't hide the truth now, and knowing he won't remember it for much longer, "Wonderland is going mad." "But I thought Wonderland was already mad?", Izuku cut in. "Theirs all different levels of madness Izuku, and this one will bring Wonderland to the brink of ruin."
"But what are you doing?"
"I'm going to take the memory of what you saw out of your head, so you don't have to be scared by it ever again."
"Really! Then...why do you look so sad about doing it?"
Allen sighed and replied in a shaky voice, "Because once I do, I'll completely remove all memory of Wonderland in the process. Including me."
Izuku gasped at this news and he grabbed Allens hand before he could touch his head. "Wait!", he yelled at him! "Why can't you just get rid of that one part of my memory instead everything with it!"
"Because I can't! Thats why!", he said with sadness in his voice. "I can't let what happen to me happen to you too!"
Izuku was confused by his statement but knew that there was something deeper behind it. "What do you mean?", he asked.
Allen sighed deeply and sadly and replied, "When I was around your age, I witnessed something. Something terrible, so terrible it scared me day and night. So I put it into the back of my mind to forget it. But that was a terrible mistake, when I did the memory festered and putrefied, then it spread like a cancer through my whole damn head! And then-and then….", he trailed off.
"What happened then?", Izuku asked fearfully.
"It-It drove me mad, completely and utterly mad!", Allen finished with fear in his voice. He looked at the young boy with a serious expression, "And I can't let the same thing happen to you! Not now not ever! So that's why I have to take you're memory of everything that has happened. So you don't share the same fate that I have.", Allen stated as he slowly brought his hands back up to Izuku's head.
However Izuku grabbed Allens hands at the last second and shouted with all his might, "NO! No no no no no no no no! I won't let you!"
"Izuku If I don't then-" "I don't care!", Izuku shouted cutting Allen off.
"My mommy can get me medicine and take me to the doctor to heal that memory. But-but-but.", Izuku began to tear up. "I don't want to forget you!"
"But.", Allen tried to argue but was cut off by Izuku again, "Come with me to Japan!" he suddenly offered.
Allen was in complete shock by his sudden proposal and stood frozen while he continued, "My mommy can bring both of us to the doctor and get medicine for my bad memory and you're madness! I want us to go to school together and become heros, I want to play games and eat snacks and watch All Might videos on the computer, I want to show you all my hero stuff! I want to play games and run around with you in the Spring! I want to swim at the beach and pool, chase seagulls, eat BBQ ice pops and watermelon, chase fireflies, have water gun fights, and enjoy Summer with you! I want to run in leaf piles, and pick pumpkins and apples, eat and drink fall food, and watch the leaves change in Fall! I want to play in the snow, build forts, make snow angels snow men, have snowball fights, and drink coco in the Winter with you! Please I don't want to lose you! I want to spend more time with you, for a whole year, every year!", Izuku cried out to the older boy who simply stood in place with his jaw gaped in awe! "Because you're-you're-you're-you're...my best friend.", Izuku squeaked out between sobs. He then buried his face into Allen jacket and let loose a stream of crying!
Allens face didn't change, still frozen in shock, then his face started to break and it slowly went from surprise to sadness. Allen bit his lower lip as tears started to pool into his eyes and fall down his face onto the smaller boys shirt! He tried his best to stifle his sobs and whimpers as he said back, "I want to do all those things with you to! I want us to play games and draw pictures and eat snacks and watch cartoons and movies, and have fun tea parties together! I want to run in the flowers and pick them to make crowns and chains, I want to roll in green grass down hills and listen to song birds sing, I want to eat watermelon and do more fun things in Spring, I want to swim in lakes and streams and play chicken and Marco-Polo, I want to catch files flies and eat ice cream in the heat of Summer! I want to play in leaves, carve jack-o-lanterns, drink fall flavored drinks, and dress up for Hallows Eve to eat lots of candy sweets in Fall! I want to play in the snow, sing carols, eat peppermint sticks, decorate a tree, and drink coco by a fireplace as we wait anxiously for Father Christmas to arrive with gifts in Winter! Because I-I-I-I-I, you're my best friend too Izuku!", Allen sobed out!
The two boys stood in one another's embrace as they both cried their eyes out violently! They cried and cried and cried and cried not wanting to leave, or worse, forget one another! Though Allen knew it could be the way he always wanted it to be, it never does, he knew what he had to do even if it killed him. To save his friend from a fate far worse than any form of death would be worth the suffering for him latter on. So he sneakily places his hand on the side of Izuku's head and whispered in an echoed voice in his ear, 'Sleep', and straight away Izuku fell into slumber. Allen repositioned the boy so he was laying in a comfortable position on the bed, he then took both hands on Izuku's head and both limbs seemed to melt right into the young boys head with a soft light emitting from the area. Izuku whimpered a bit in his sleep but felt no pain, not that there was any.
Allen took his hands out from Izuku's head and in his hands he held a little yellow sphere the size of a pineapple with a reflective surface. Inside the orb was the memories of Izuku's Adventure in Wonderland, when he places his hand and slid it over the orb he could fast forward or rewind the memory to see different parts. Allen looked on at the point where they first meet, to where Izuku saw that shattered Wonderland, and where they were right now. It brought a tear to his blue eyes as he smiled at just how much fun he had with him despite his turmoil. Allen lifted the memory above his head as if about to let it go, and he was, he was going to let it fly away and disappear into nothing. However, he couldn't. He just couldn't! He brought his hand back down and held the memory into his chest unable to let it go. Why couldn't he just let go of this memory, why?
Suddenly a familiar voice with a not so demonic overtone asked, "Well, are you going to let that memory disappear or not?"
"I don't know, I want to-I really do, but I can't. I simply can't. Oh what should I do?", Allen asked.
The source of the voice came to Allens side and the bald boy could see it was the Cheshire Cat who was looking much better in this safe zone, or as better as better can get. He was still mangy looking but he didn't look so decrepit and demoic; he still had his crazy eye, sharp claws, and jaged teeth with blood running in between the spaces of his teeth. But he still looked and sound better.
"Would you like a second opinion?", asked the cat?
Allen turned to the cat and asked, "Then what do you suggest I do?"
The cat smiled and replied kindly, "Memoires define our lives and they renew us. Treat memories as you would a simple child collect them, neture them. An experience forgotten never was."
Allen knew what the cat was talking about so he held the memory in his hand and focused on it, it glowed brightly for a moment and when the light was gone the memory was now turned into a little golden ring that Allen slipped on his finger. He kissed the ring and hopped off the chair to the ground where he saw the White rabbit and Cheshire Cat staring at him, waiting for him to say or do something. When it was apparent that he wasn't going to speak the White Rabbit asked carefully, "Is it done?", Allen nodded. The White Rabbit sighed and reached into one of his pockets and placed an object into Allen's hand, "You'll need this to get him home.", said the White Rabbit.
Allen looked at the small object in his hand and it was a small purple bubble wand. Allen sighed, "Thank you Rabbit. Well, a deal's a deal. Here you are.", and gave the Rabbit back his pocket watch.
"Thank you Allen.", said the rabbit as he flipped it open and read the time. "And it looks like I'll make it to the Queen a bit early if I leave now.", remarked the Rabbit.
Just before the Rabbit leafed through the door his attention was caught by Allen, "Wait Rabbit.", the Rabbit stopped and turned around to Allen. "Will you pass a message to the queen from me?", the Rabbit nodded. "Tell her royal heinousness. I'm coming for her, and this time I'll dethrone her for good."
The White Rabbit bowed deeply and relied, "Considered it done.", and with that he left in a hurry with the door slamming behind him.
Allen then went over to a dresser embedded in the wall and opedna draw, which he shuffled around in and took out a container a of bubble soap. He walked back over to the bed with the still sleeping form of Izuku, he dipped the wand into the soap and blew into it.
The bubble started small and soon became very very large, so large it was big enough to hold Izuku's whole body. The bubble floated over to Izuku and enveloped him, once inside the bubble floated up wards from where Izuku fell down. Allen watch the bubble until it disappeared from sight, he sighed sadly and quietly said, "Goodbye my dear friend. I hope to meet again when I'm sane.", and shed another bitter tear.
Allen then turned on his heels and march over to the glass tea table where he grabbed the glass bottle and the wooden box and shoved them into his jacket. He then march over to the door, and Woody increased in size enough for Allen to walk through without ducking, while opening by himself. Before he left he heard the Cheshire Cat call out to him and ask, "So what are you going to do now?"
Allen stopped in place and without turning to the cat he replied with a shadow over his face, "I'm going to claim what was stolen from me, I'm going to fix what I have been broken, I'm going to reclaim Wonderland."
"Then I wish you the best of luck. You're definitely going to need it.", and with that the cat disappeared.
Allen walked through the door, as he did his clothes seemed to meld off and reform into another outfit. Soon after a few steps of walking down the tunnel Allen was no longer in his psycho straitjacket, now he was in a blue child sized victorian style suit with little black shoes, and a white bow around his neck. Allen made a flicking motion with his wrist and the Vorpal Blade shot straight out from his sleeve into his hand. As he continued to walk down the tunnel into the Vale he grabbed the handle of his blade in a tight fist and his once soft charming expression twisted into a deep angry scowl! As he did he started to talk to himself, "I'm going to fix what I and other have broken, and retrieve what was stolen, I will fight, I will not fear any more! Cause now I have a purpose to find my way through this madness. And I will regain my mind, my life, my sanity, my Wonderland! So that next I meet him, I will meet him sane. No forces in all this land can STOP ME!", he roared into the screaming wind as he trudged through into the twisted Vale of Tears!
.
Meanwhile in the Red Queen's Castle.
.
The Red queen sat elegantly and impatiently on her royal red thrown, a shadow covering her face concealing her constant scowl. She drummed on her long, fleshy, sharp fingers on the armrest of her thrown waiting for her summon to finally arrived. Not a moment passed by when her summons finally came to her as she thought about him. She smiled with pleasure at this seeing the White Rabbit approach her.
"Rabbit.", she greeted with the slightest bit of happiness in her demonic scolding tone.
"You're Majesty.", the White Rabbit greeted back.
"You're early? I am pleased.", said the Queen.
"I aim to please you you're Highness."
"Good good. Now then-", began the red queen before the Rabbit cut her off. "If you're majesty would be so kind, I have a message for you."
The Red Queen stopped her statement and tilted her head as she asked almost annoyed. "A message? From who?"
"Allen.", replied the Rabbit.
"Allen!", the Queen growled his name ferally!
"He says that he's coming, and this time he's going to dethrone you once and for all.", the Rabbit passed the message to her.
The Red Queen's face contoured back into a snarl and was still rising with anger, then she stopped and put on a fake smile as she asked, "And do you think he really will succeed this time?"
"No your majesty I don't.", said the White Rabbit, the queen smiled at this. "Because I know he will do it. He will make things right in Wonderland, he will dethrone you, and you will never rein in Wonderland ever again! You'll be nothing but a bad memory!", the Rabbit stated boldly looking the Queen straight into her hatful eyes!
Suddenly a red object shot directly under the Rabbits feet and catapulted him into the air Where he impacted the ceiling with such force it shook the room and created a large dust explosion, the object the started to drip with the White Rabbits blood running down it.
The Red Queen breathed heavily as she gripped the arms rest on her throne so tight that they started to break from the imene anger only climbing faster and faster till the point where she stood from her seat and let out a blood curdling war scream the shok the whole room she was in and the whole castle with a small portion of Wonderland!
.
Back with Izuku.
.
Izuku was still fast asleep safely inside of the bubble that still floated upwards of the Rabbits hole. Not too long during his ascension and he was already passing the area of the hole with all the random objects and abstract patterns that caused Izuku to go into panic attack and cause him to pass out the rest of the way down! But the noses of the area seems to be muted all the noise and reflect the incoming light form all light sources. Letting you Izuku sleep peacefully.
After some time the bubble finally came to the top of the rabbits hole and squeezed through the opening causing a bit of turbulence for the sleeping boy that began to stir awake. Soon the bubble floated towards the park where Izuku first started his journey and landed right underneath a large shady tree. The bubble exploded with a loud POP! And little Izuku finally woke up startled from the sudden noise! He rubbed his eyes and looked around, he was in the park, but what happened before? He felt like something happened, but he just couldn't...oh...wait, the fight that's right. Kachan and his cronies and that other kid he helped.
Izuku sighed knowing that he would have to face Kachan tomorrow and his mother worried face today, but why was he sleeping under a tree? It didn't matter, what's matters that he had to get home before his mom got worried. He stood up and brushed himself off and immediately noticed that his clothes were mended, he had no scars or bruises, and he was totally clean! He was a little thrown off by this but decided not to think about it since he wouldn't have to tell the fight to his mom, hopefully.
He looked around for the parks exist and when he found it headed out on his way back home. Completely unaware of the disappearing giants rabbits hole he fell down, the adventure he had, the odd place he seen, the people and creatures he had meet, and the friend that he left behind. He didn't notice that the parks clock had shown at 4:47pm when he left down the rabbits hole at 4:31pm! He even didn't notice the odd floating grin and yellow eyes watching him from afar, close by and out of sight.
