Hey peeps. It's me again! Okay, so since I'm not really updating this story, this is going to be my second to last chapter. It was going to be a bit more of a descriptive story, but I sort of gave up on this story. So, try to enjoy it. I'm sorry it it's crappy.


Alex, Hatter, Wilson, and Kate were all hidden in the bushes near the Heart's Casino. Wilson was crouching by Alex and slowly put his arm around her. Alex gently shrugged it off.

"Now remember the plan," she whispered. "Kate and Wilson, you're on."

Kate nodded and walked over stepped out of the bushes, giving Hatter a wink on the way, which he rolled his eyes at. Wilson though stayed next to Alex.

"Well, go," she said.

"What's going on with you?" he asked. "Ever since we left the Hospital of Dreams you've been acting all weird."

"I know," she said. "I'm…I'm sorry."

Wilson shrugged then left the bushes. Hatter noticed Alex's behavior around Wilson and went to go see what was up.

"Hey, what's going on? Aren't you glad you're with Wilson?"

Alex shrugged.

"I guess," she said. "It's just…never mind. Come on, let's go wait for Charlie's signal."

Wilson and Kate crawled through the window of the Heart's Casino. They ran down the hall and towards the front entrance where they were going to open the door. Then, Charlie would go send the signal for Hatter and Alex to come through. The siblings made it to the door and opened it to see Charlie waiting there in full armor completely rusty.

"Ready?" Wilson asked.

Charlie nodded then catapulted a huge arrow into the sky.

"They should be here any moment."

"There it is," said Hatter pointing to the arrow that was just launched into the sky.

"Come on," said Alex.

The two safely made it into the Heart's Casino and met up with Wilson, Kate, and Charlie.

"The throne room is this way," said Kate leading them down the corridor.

Everybody followed her with Hatter and Alex rearing the back. As they walked, Alex could sense somebody following them, but every time she turned around, nobody was there.

"You alright?" asked Hatter.

"Yeah," she said. "I'm fine. It's Just a weird feeling."

The group kept walking down the corridor, but they didn't notice someone sneak up behind Alex and pull her into the shadows. Alex wanted to scream, but couldn't because a hand was over her mouth. She was dragged for a while until she was shoved into a closet. The hand was removed from her mouth and she was staring at a man, not too older than her, give a year.

"What the hell are you doing?" she asked the man.

"Shh," he said. "I'm trying to help you."

"Well kidnapping me and dragging me into a broom closet isn't really helping."

The man laughed.

"You were always jumping to conclusions weren't you?" he asked.

"How do you know so much about me?" she asked.

"Well I did live with you for nine years of my life."

Alex was shocked. She looked at the man. She recognized his eyes and goofy smile.

"Marc?" she asked. "Is…is that you?"

"The man nodded"

"Oh my god," she said. "It can't be, they took you."

"Not exactly," said Marc. "They took me and dad but put us to work."

"Wait, dad's still alive?" she asked.

"Oh yeah, he's alive and healthy."

"That's amazing," she said. "So how are you going to help us?"

"Let me help you slay the Joker. I know what's happening to the Wonderlanders, and I don't like it. I need to help restore order. The Wonderlanders are people too."

Alex smiled.

"I don't believe it," she said. "My long lost brother and father are in Wonderland. Who would have thought? But, why did they take you?"

"They were trying to find a new King for Wonderland instead of the Joker, but Jack and Duchess Heart were already murdered, so they put us on work in the castle."

"Why didn't they send you home?"

"They didn't want word of Wonderland to get out. I was only ten Alex, not a lot of people can trust a ten year old boy with a huge secret."

"Well, I'm just glad your back," she said.

"Same," he said. "Come on, I want you to see somebody."

Marc grabbed Alex's hand and touched a spot in the wall. Suddenly, the wall started to part leaving a archway that lead into a corridor. The two walked down the corridor and came to a door. Marc opened the door and the two entered. Alex was awestruck at what she saw. The room was filled with huge silver containers that went to the top of the ceiling. Each one had a different emotion labeled on it and was filled with a different colored liquid.

"Ah Marc, I see you brought your sister," a male voice said that sounded very familiar to her.

Alex turned to see an older man standing there.

"Dad," she screamed then ran into his opened arms.

"Alex," he said, hugging her back. "It's been forever."

Alex started to cry. It had been ten years since she last saw her father. She had missed him so much, well, and her brother too.

"Where have you been," she asked. "Mom's been worried sick."

"The Joker wouldn't let me leave," he said. "When we were taken, Jack and Duchess Heart were already murdered so they didn't need us, but the Joker needed a new head of the emotion harvesting department and forced me to stay. I've been a prisoner here, Alex, as well as your brother."

"I've just missed you so much," she said.

"I did too, and your mother. Now listen, you have to save Wonderland. You're the only one of your group that hasn't been discovered yet. Do you know what you need to do?"

"Kill the Joker?" she asked.

Her father nodded. "And Marc will help you if you choke."

Marc fell out of the chair he was sitting in. Alex laughed.

"Dad," he complained like a five year old. "I still have to watch out for my baby sister?"

"Yes," said her father. "In case she chokes."

"Dad," complained Alex. "Do you really think I'll choke?"

Alex's father threw his hands up in the air. "I can't please anybody now a day."

The two siblings laughed.

"Okay," said the father. "You two need to go…now!"

"Fine," said Alex, taking a gun from the table. "Hey dad, when this is all over, can you come home again?"

"Why wouldn't I?" asked her father.

Alex smiled and hugged her dad.

"Wish me luck," she said.

"Oh I do," he said. "Just please be safe."

"I will," she said.

"I'm going to release the oysters. I have a few loyal suits to King Jack who are going to lead them back to New York City. Please, kill Joker in the throne room so he'll never know. If you don't and he escapes, he'll have my head…literally."

"I'll try…wait…The Queen of Hearts? I thought she was outlawed."

"Joker brought her back, how else would he be able to put the economy back to the way it was in earlier years?"

"I see," she said. "Come on Marc, it's now or never."

"Can we go with never?" asked Marc.

"I wish, but we can't," said Alex. "Come on, let's go."

Charlie, Kate, Wilson and Hatter made it to the throne room before they noticed Alex was missing.

"Young heroes," said Charlie, "where is Alex of Legend? She isn't here."

Hatter gasped and turned around. Like Charlie said, she wasn't following them.

"Guys, what happened? Where is she? Did they catch her?"

"I don't know," said Wilson. "I didn't see or hear anyone come up behind us."

"We have to go find her," said Hatter, turning around going back towards the front door.

"No Hatter," said Wilson, "we have stick to the plan."

"I'm not going to leave her."

"You have to, if you don't it could ruin the whole operation."

Hatter sighed running his hands through his hair.

"Fine," he said.

"Alright," said Wilson, "Kate and I will go in and distract my father and the court. Hatter, you will sneak up on my father and kill him. Charlie, you keep guard. Don't let anybody in, or out."

Charlie nodded then took his position at the door. Hatter turned and waited by the end of the door so he could sneak in. Kate nodded to Wilson and the two entered the throne room, closely followed by the Hatter.

"Hello father," said Wilson, "I bring great news."

"Oh really," said the Joker. "What news do you bring?"

"Alex, the girl I killed, is the girl of legend."

"How do you know this for sure?"

"I snuck into the Hospital of Dreams and looked up the prophecy. It is for sure that girl."

The Joker smiled a crazy mad smile.

"Perfect," he said. "You have pleased me son, daughter."

As the family was talking, Hatter had been able to sneak up behind the Joker's throne. He cocked a gun and slowly started to raise it up to his head but was soon stopped.

"Grandson, watch out!"

Hatter turned around to see the Queen of Hearts standing behind him. The Joker got up from his throne and turned to see Hatter and his grandmother.

"Why thank you grandma," said the Joker. "Hatter, have you the pleasure of meeting my granny? She was the former Queen of Hearts that gave your pathetic father a job."

Hatter brought the gun back up to the Joker's face.

"Don't you dare insult my family like that," he said.

"I wouldn't shoot that if I were you," said Joker. "If you do, then you would be arrested or even worst, beheaded."

"I thought beheading was banned," said Hatter.

"Oh it was, when my father was king. I was able to bend a few rules and bring it back to legalese."

"You wouldn't," he said.

"Oh but I would," he said. "And how did he get in?"

The Joker turned to his two children who were both looking at the floor.

"I see you two both have your grandfather's blood. The evilness must skip a generation. Why did you do this?"

"You don't know what you're doing to Wonderland father," said Wilson. "It's slowly falling apart, and what are we going to do when Wonderland is destroyed? Have you ever thought of that?"

"I don't need to be told what to do by my children," he spat. "Take the Hatter, and my children."

Six suits moved and kept a firm hand on Kate, Wilson, and Hatter. The three didn't give up. They kept squirming and trying to get themselves free.

"Let me go," said Hatter.

"Daddy how could you?" asked Kate, trying to pull the daddy's girl act.

"You don't know what you're doing," said Wilson.

"Don't tell me what to do," said the Joker. "Take them away."

The suits nodded then started to walk the three out of the throne room, but the doors opened before they could go through. In came Marc and Alex, guns cocked and pointing at the suits.

"If I were you, I'd let our friends go," said Alex. "I really don't feel like killing anybody today."

"Alex?" whispered Hatter. "Thank god."

Then, all hell broke loose. Everyone had guns and were shooting each other like crazy. Hatter took Alex aside and asked her a few questions.

"Where were you?" he asked. "What happened?"

"My brother found me," she said, "then took me to see my father."

"What did you do?"

"We just talked, but we also released all the oysters, so unless we want the Joker on a mad rage of fury, we have to kill him and the Queen of Hearts now!"

"I'll take the Queen, you get Joker."

"Sounds like a plan," said Alex and the two parted into the chaos

Alex dodged gun fires and falling bodies until she found the Joker, sitting on his throne, shooting randomly like a mad man. Alex snuck up behind him and pointed the gun at his forehead.

"I wouldn't do that sweetie," he said.

"You kidnapped my brother and father when I was nine," she said. "You've practically destroyed Wonderland. You have nothing else to live for!"

"You don't have the guts," he said.

"Stop your crowing!" she shouted.

Alex kept the gun at his head, but still didn't fire it. She knew she had to eventually, but just couldn't do it.

A gun fired, but it wasn't Alex's. Alex watched as the Joker's body fell dead in front of her. In his back was the bullet hole, and standing in front of her, was her father.

"Daddy," she whispered. "What…"

"I couldn't let you live with that on your conscience," he said.

"I could have lived," she joked.

Suddenly, she heard a male yell that came from Hatter. Alex looked over and saw Hatter doubled over and the Queen pointing a gun at him.

"Hatter!" she called without thinking.

Alex shot her gun and the Queen fell dead. Hatter still didn't move. Alex ran over to him and turned him over. His eyes were shut and he was covering his stomach.

"Hatter," she asked. "Are you okay?"

Hatter coughed then slowly opened his eyes. Alex sighed in relief.

"I'm fine," he said. "She just knocked me one in the stomach."

Alex sighed in relief then hugged him.

"I'm just glad your okay."

"Alex, you're okay," said Wilson as he ran up and hugged her. "Oh my god are you okay? Did you hurt anything?"

"Wilson, I'm fine," she said, "just a few cuts and bruises."

"Good, now come on, let's get out of here."

Wilson started dragging Alex out of the throne room and away from Hatter. She wanted to break free of his grip, but just couldn't find the strength to do so. She wanted to help Hatter out. He needed it, out of anybody. She was somewhat relieved when her father helped him up and led him out of the room. As the group exited the castle, Charlie came up to them.

"Can I pull the trigger now, Alex?" he asked.

"Yes Charlie, you may."

Charlie smiled then wobbled over to a huge arrow-catapult. He pulled the leaver and the arrow flew out and landed right on the Heart's Casino.

"Well what do ya know," said Wilson, "his accuracy was actually perfect this time around."

The next day was the day Marc Alex and their father were sent home. Since neither Wilson nor Kate was married, they were the new King and Queen of Wonderland. Alex wasn't able to see Hatter after the final battle. The family was standing before the Looking Glass as a suit was starting it up again. Alex heard the door open and turned around. Wilson Heart came through and Alex smiled.

"Is that your boyfriend?" teased Marc.

"Shut up," said Alex. "Honestly, after ten years you'd think you wouldn't forget the teasing of an older brother."

Wilson approached Alex and took her aside.

"Listen," he said. "Thank you, so much for everything you've done."

"No problem," she said. "Honestly, at first I thought you only wanted me to do this because you wanted to be King."

Wilson laughed.

"Well, it's not as glamorous as many would think," he said taking her hands into his. "Anyways, listen, over this time period together, I have sort of…fallen for you, for real. So, I was wondering…if you…well…"

"If I what?" she asked, even though she sort of knew what was coming.

"Would you…marry me Alex?"

Alex sighed.

"Listen Wilson, as much as I want to, I can't. I can't rule Wonderland, that's just not the kind of person I am. And besides, New York is my home. Wonderland isn't. I don't think I should stay here anymore. My mom would freak, you know, if my long lost brother and father showed up at our place and I wasn't."

Wilson sighed.

"I understand," he said.

"Thank you," she said. "I'm sorry."

Wilson nodded then pulled her into a hug which she returned.

"Ms," said a suit, breaking them up. "It's time for you to go."

Alex nodded then said goodbye to Wilson one last time. The family stepped up to the Looking Glass.

"I'll go first," said Mac. He hopped into the Looking Glass and out of sight.

"Now I'll go," said Alex's father.

Alex was the last one to go. She stepped up to the glass, about to step in, when she heard somebody call her name. Recognizing the voice, she saw Hatter standing at the door.

"Hatter," she called, but tripped on her foot and fell into the glass, trying to remember the last look Hatter gave her before she fell into the glass.


Okay, so I know it's crappy, but I tried. The battle didn't turn out how I wanted it to, but oh well. This is the second to last chapter. The next one will be the resolution. If you gave up on me after this, I don't blame you, just, don't critisize me in a review. I know how horrible this chapter/story is. My apology. I just wanted to complete it. Thanks for reading!
