Hey, boys and girls! I'm back with writing the next chapter of Chains of Destiny. I'd figured that I need to take a break from The Wielder of the Keyblade and focus a lot more on this story before I forget it completely – besides it's time for Maka and Sora to visit their first world – Wonderland.

God, I so hated the boss fight for this world – The Trickmaster moved around all the time, slammed the table into the ground and juggled those batons and fired fireballs at me – it took me at least a couple of times to defeat him. It was so frustrating that I almost gave up on this boss.

Anyways, last time – Sora and Maka finally met their companions and are off to find their friends. However, Roman Torchwick and Maleficent are planning something big behind the scenes. What will it be? Why don't you all stick around and find out?

One last thing – Wonderland will be divided into two chapters – Chapter 1 will involve the Court and searching for the evidence to Alice's freedom. Chapter 2 – will be the fight against the Trickmaster.

Okay, enough of that. Let's move on! Kingdom Hearts and Soul Eater are not my property – They are owned by Tetsuya Nomura and Atsushi Okubo.

Chapter 7 – Wonderland – Part 1

Lucy, Levy and Maka entered their own Gummi Ship while Sora, Donald and Goofy got on their own vessel. Chip and Dale – the ship's engineers' appeared on screen.

"Hey, Donald and Goofy. I see you found the first key. But where is the second one?" Chip asked.

"She's with our other guests. Don't worry." Donald assured them.

"Okay! If you ever need any information about different worlds and how strong the Heartless are – give us a call." Dale said.

"Also, if you happen to find any Gummi Pieces along the way – give them to us. We can use them to build new ships for you and your other guests." Chip said.

"Good luck on your mission!" Both of them said and the screen disconnected. Just then, Maka's face appeared.

"Sora, Donald and Goofy. Do you hear us?" Maka asked them.

"Yep. We're hear, Maka." Sora said.

"Good. This is how we are going to keep in contact while going to other worlds." Maka said.

"Alright, anything else you need to tell us?" Donald asked her.

"Yep – we found our first world. It's very close to Traverse Town and we decided it might be worth looking for clues." Lucy said.

"Okay! Lead the way, you three!" Sora said.

"You've got it!" Maka said and the two Gummi Ships started to move.

"We travel to different worlds on the Gummi Ship." Donald said.

"The Heartless ships often give us a hard time." Goofy said.

"Always be on the lookout during flight. Same goes for you too, Maka." Donald said.

"Of course. We'll be very careful. Sora, if you somehow get hurt I'll kill you!" Maka threaten him with a fake glare.

"Don't worry, Maka. I'll be careful as well." Sora said with a smile and the screen disconnected.

A few minutes later, after shooting down some Heartless ships and avoiding meteors and other unknown stuff, the two ships arrive on a new world – it had a red and pink checker board with a heart shaped hedge on the top and a tower next to it. On the bottom, there was a small house and strange bended tree.

The group disembarked from their ships and entered the world. Next you know it, they were all falling down into a gigantic hole as clocks were heard. While, Sora, Maka, Lucy, Levy and Donald were falling down slowly, Goofy was lying on his back and enjoying the ride. Upon the ground, the five landed softly on their feet, but alas the poor Captain of the Royal Guard landed on his stomach.

They looked around, until they heard the quick pattering of feet and saw a short white rabbit with pink eyes, a large red nose wearing a red waistcoat and a yellow vest with blue trousers carrying a giant pocket watch in his hands running late for something.

"Oh, my fur and whiskers! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" The little rabbit said as he panted heavily.

"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! I'm here, I should be there." The rabbit said as scurried away.

"I'm late, I'm late, I'm late! The queen, she'll have my head for sure!" The rabbit finished speaking and he was gone.

"Who was that?" Sora asked.

"Why don't we follow it? It may lead to some answers." Maka suggested.

They followed the rabbit down the hall, until they reached a smaller door. Upon entering it, they find themselves in a big room with bizarre furniture. The group spotted the little rabbit going into a small door with a giant doorknob at the edge of the room. Sora and Maka walked over to the doorknob and kneeled.

"How did he get so small?" Sora asked.

"Good question." Maka said.

"No, you're simply too big." The doorknob said which shocked the group. Wait… It TALKS and it's ALIVE!?

"You're alive!" Lucy said with a surprised tone as the doorknob yawned.

"Must you be so loud? You woke me up." The doorknob said.

"Good morning." Goofy said with a smile.

"Good night! I need a bit more sleep." The doorknob said, as it yawned again.

"Wait! Before you go to sleep, can you please tell us how to grow small?" Maka asked as she leaned closer towards the doorknob.

"Why don't you try the bottle…" The doorknob suggested and the group looked to see a table rising from the ground with two bottles – one with red and one with blue on it. "…over there?"

"Which one will shrink us?" Maka asked.

"Try the blue one." Levy suggested.

"We might have a little problem." Sora said.

"What kind of problem exactly?" Lucy asked.

"The doorknob's asleep and I doubt the door is opened. How are we going to follow the rabbit now?" Sora said and the gang couldn't help… but agree with Sora.

"Sora has a point. Let's search the room. There must be another way to follow the rabbit." Maka suggested and all of them started to look around.

A few seconds later, Lucy spotted something that caught her eye – there was some kind of hole hidden behind the bed!

"I think I found our way to the rabbit!" Lucy called out to them. She pushed the bed into the wall to which the hidden hole was revealed.

"Nice job, Lucy!" Maka said with a grin.

"Think nothing of it! Now, let's find our rabbit!" Lucy said and the group drank from the blue bottle. They shrunk to the size of little mice and were now on top of the table.

"It worked! We're like tiny cute mice!" Levy said with a cute smile on her face.

"Don't celebrate yet, Levy! We've got company!" Maka said as Heartless started to appear around them. The group defeated them easily and continued following the little rabbit through the secret hole that Lucy discovered.

The group arrived at a small garden where they saw black and red cards standing in their way. They moved aside and lined up in an orderly fashion to reveal a girl with long, thick blonde hair which was tied by a black ribbon, she wears a blue dress with a white pinafore, with white stockings and black shoes standing on a podium in a giant hedge maze which was shaped just like a court room. It seems there was some kind of trial going on. But what could it be about? How did it involve the girl?

The white rabbit that they saw from before climbed up to a higher stand, pulled out a yellow trumpet and blew it.

"Court is now in session!" The rabbit said.

"I'm on trial? But why?" The young girl asked, but was ignored.

"Her Majesty, the Queen of Hearts, presiding!" The rabbit announced pointing at the mean-looking woman who had black hair tied into a bun wearing a red and black dress with a golden crown on top of her head and a heart-shaped stick in her hand. She was currently sitting on the top bench in the courtroom.

"This girl is the culprit. There's no doubt about it. And the reason is… because, I say so, that's why!" The Queen of Hearts said harshly.

"Wait… The Queen is framing the poor girl because she says so? What an evil selfish bitch." Maka angrily thought to herself.

"That is so unfair!" The girl said.

"Well, have you anything to say in your defense?" The Queen of Hearts asked her.

"Like: Your Majesty, you are a cruel selfish creature with no heart whatsoever." Maka thought to herself.

"Of course! I've done absolutely nothing wrong!" The girl said.

"Of course, you've done nothing wrong! The Queen is just a big old hag!" Maka thought, as she defended the girl in her mind.

The rabbit gasped, while the Queen glared at her, as the little girl continued to defend herself. "You may be queen, but I'm afraid that doesn't give you the right to be so… so mean!"

The Bitch Queen got angry and yelled at her, as she slammed her fists on the bench. "Silence! You dare defy me?"

"Guys, I'm about ready to go and teach that "Queen of Hearts" some manners and save that little girl. Who's with me?" Maka asked.

"I'm going along with you, Maka." Sora said.

"Count me and Levy as well. I'm also ready to go and kick Miss Bitch Queen in the ass." Lucy said and Levy nodded.

Donald, on the hand said. "Yeah, but the-"

"We're outsiders, so wouldn't that be muddling?" Goofy said.

"Goofy. That's Meddling!" Levy corrected him as she pointed her finger at Goofy's face.

"Oh, yeah. Ah-hyuck! And that's against the rules." Goofy said.

"Goofy, I know what the rules are. But, we can't run away from this! The poor girl will die without our help." Maka said.

"The court finds the defendant…" The Queen started as she raised her heart-shaped stick.

"Guilty as charged!" The Queen said and the girl gasped.

"For the crimes of assault and the attempted theft of my heart…" The Queen said, as Sora and Maka glared at her.

"Off with her head!" She yelled as the cards stood up to attention all around her.

"No! No! Oh, please!" The poor girl begged. All right! Enough is enough!

"HEY!" Sora yelled as he ran towards the Queen.

"LEAVE HER ALONE, YOU HEARTLESS HAG!" Maka yelled as she ran towards the Queen as well.

The rest of the group followed them – no matter what happened, they had orders to stick close to the chosen Keyblade Wielders – even if it involved crashing a court case.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere with my court?" The Queen yelled at them angrily.

"Here's a better question – who made you Queen and who gave you the right to execute a poor girl without any evidence?" Maka asked.

Unfortunately, that question pissed off the Queen so much, that she yelled at her furiously. "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME IN SUCH A WAY, YOU FLAT-CHESTED BITCH!?"

At that moment, everybody except Maka and the Queen gasped in shocked. Maka Albarn… was called… a… FLAT-CHESTED BITCH!? This time, Maka's patience reached a boiling point…

"Maka…" She started, as she pulled out a book from out of nowhere… "…CHOP!"…She finished, as she slammed the book onto the Queen's head. Everybody had opened mouths and shocked looks on their faces, even the young blonde-haired girl. The Queen was lying unconscious on the bench with a bloody fountain coming from her head. Everybody learned something that day – Never piss off Maka!

"Never annoy her or piss her off!" The Card Soldiers thought to themselves.

"Oh, dear! She's scarier than the Queen herself!" The rabbit thought to himself.

"The poor girl! The Queen of Hearts shouldn't have said those vulgar words in front of her!" The young girl thought to herself.

"My God… She's beautiful when she's angry." Sora thought to himself with a smile on his face.

"Mental note – agree with everything she says or else!" Donald thought to himself with a scared expression.

"Gawrsh! I'm scared!" Goofy thought to himself.

"Jesus Christ, Maka! That was amazing! I'm impressed!" Lucy thought to herself.

"You did well, Maka. The Queen got what she deserved!" Levy thought to herself.

Maka calmed down and turned her attention towards the white rabbit. "I'm really sorry that I got mad, but she was asking for it."

"Actually, miss…" The white rabbit began.

"Maka. Maka Albarn." Maka introduced herself.

"Yes. Miss Albarn, we offer our humble apologies for what the Queen said. The Cards and I – we just follow the Queen's orders and that's that." The rabbit said.

"I understand. But, please… Let me and my group go out and prove the young girl's innocence. Please…" Maka begged with a sad look.

"Of course. Very well. You have permission to go out and gather the evidence necessary for the freedom of the girl called Alice. However, we must keep Alice in our prison cage until you return." The white rabbit said.

"Very well. We accept." Maka said.

Alice was put in a prison cage next to the bench where the unconscious Queen still laid in a bloody pool.

"You have all the time in the world to gather as much evidence as possible for Alice's freedom. Report back here once you are done. Good luck!" The white rabbit said.

"Don't worry. We'll get you out of there!" Maka said with a smile to the imprison Alice.

"Thank you! Good luck on your search!" Alice wished them.

"Lucy, Levy." Maka turned her attention towards the two other teenage girls. "Can you stay here and keep an eye on things? Mainly – the Bitch Queen herself." She said and the two nodded.

"Don't worry, Maka. You can count on us." Lucy said.

"Fake Queen won't cause any more trouble. Don't worry." Levy said.

"Thanks, girls!" Maka said and then turned her attention towards Sora, Donald and Goofy. "Let's go get our evidence and fast."

"Right!" Sora said.

The group arrived at a strange forest called – The Lotus Forest. As they looked around, they noticed a cat's face appearing out of thin air – the weird part was that the cat was smiling mischievously! It bounced around the area, until it rested atop a large tree stump. However, they noticed something else – the cat's body was standing on top of the head! Really weird! The body was lined with pink and dark purple stripes. It stepped off and placed its head back on its body while grinning mischievously.

"Who are you?" Donald yelled at the cat.

"Who, indeed? Poor Alice. Soon to lose her head, and she's not guilty of a thing!" The cat said.

"Do you happen to know who the culprit is?" Maka asked.

"The Cheshire Cat has all the answers – but doesn't always tell. The answer, the culprit, the cat all lie in darkness." The cat said, as he disappeared into thin air.

"Wait!" Sora called out to him.

"They've already left the forest. I won't tell which exit. There are four pieces of evidence in all. There are a cinch to find. The fourth is tricky. Big reward if you find them all." The Cheshire Cat explained.

"Can we even trust you?" Maka asked, as the cat appeared once again.

"To trust, or not to trust? I trust you'll decide!" The cat said and then it disappeared.

Sighing, Maka said. "Let's just find those evidence and fast."

"Right." Sora said and all of them started looking around.

The first evidence which was called – Footprints was pretty easy to find – it was hidden near a large flower. The second clue which was called – Stench was found in the big room that they drank the blue bottle from – on top of the stove near the two burners. They returned to the Lotus Forest where they were ambushed by Heartless. After disposing of them, they travelled further into the forest where they discovered the third piece of evidence called – Antenna on top of a lily pad – with the help of a boulder that they climbed up on. The final piece of evidence which was called – Claw Marks they found in the big room once again on a nearby wooden ledge next to the faucet that was sticking out of the wall. After collecting the last piece of evidence, The Cheshire Cat appeared on the faucet with that smile of his.

"Well, look what you've found. Nice going." He congratulated them.

"Yep, it was very easy." Maka said with a smile.

"Now we can save Alice." Sora said with a grin.

"Don't be so sure! She may be innocent, but what about you?" The cat asked them.

"What do you mean?" Sora asked confusingly.

"I won't tell. But I'll give you something." The cat said, as he gave them some kind of spell and disappeared.

"Donald, care to tell us what this spell is?" Maka asked.

"Well, it's the Blizzard spell – you both can cast Ice Magic now." Donald explained.

"Good to know. Now, let's save Alice!" Maka said and all of them nodded.

The group arrived at the garden and noticed that the Queen had awoken from her little "attack" from Maka.

Said girl walked over to the Bitch Queen and asked with a smirk. "Learn your lesson yet, Queen of Hearts?"

The Queen gave her a furious glare and said. "The rabbit told me that you went to find evidence of Alice's freedom. You'd best not annoy me now, girl. If you attack me once more, I will literally chop of your head and make a good trophy out of it. Be grateful that I'm in a good mood…"

"Yeah, yeah…" Maka said sarcastically and walked over to Alice, Lucy and Levy.

"You got the evidence for Alice's freedom?" Lucy asked her.

"Yep, we're ready to get this show on the air." Maka said.

"Good. Let's get started." Levy said.

The group got together and walked over to one of the Card Soldiers. "Miss Albarn and Mister Sora. Are you ready to present your evidence before the queen?"

They nodded and said. "Yes, we are ready."

"Very well. Step up to the podium and good luck – you'll need it." The Soldier said.

A few seconds later, Maka and Sora stood up at the Defendant's table while Donald, Goofy, Lucy and Levy were in separate boxes.

"Now, show me what you've found." The Queen demanded.

Maka and Sora presented their evidence, but Queen Bitch was still not impressed with their effort.

"Well, that's certainly a lot of evidence, but I'm still not impressed. Cards! Bring forth my evidence!" The Queen said.

The guards bring out a fifth box onto the evidence table, but unfortunately much to Sora and Maka's confusion – the boxes were shuffled randomly.

"Hmm, checking all five would only be a waste of time. All right, then. Choose the one you wish to present. I'll decide who's guilty based on that evidence." The queen said with a smirk.

"What!?" Sora said with an angry look on his face.

"Are you serious right now!? After all the trouble we went to collect them!?" Maka said with a glare directed at her.

"Sorry, my dear. But that is how we do things in Wonderland. You either pick or you lose both of your heads. Enjoy." The queen said with the smirk still plastered on her face.

Maka and Sora just sighed. There was no point in arguing with this Queen of Hearts.

"Maka, I don't know which box to pick. I don't want you to lose your head or Alice's. I'm afraid right now."

"Sora…" Maka put a hand on his shoulder and she smiled at him. "Don't worry. If anything happens, I promise to stand by your side at all times. Please, just don't be sad. For me, okay?" Maka asked him.

He looked at her and he smiled his goofy grin. "Okay, I won't be sad. Did you make your choice?" He asked her and she nodded.

"Yeah, we'll choose the middle one." Maka said.

"Alright." Sora said.

They both turned their attention the Queen of Hearts and said. "We choose the middle box."

"Really? Is this your choice?" The queen asked with an evil smirk on her face.

"Yeah, this is our choice." Maka and Sora said at the same time.

"Now we shall see who the real culprit is." The queen said.

Upon opening the box, a soldier Heartless was revealed.

The queen had a shocked look on her face. "What in the world was that?" She asked shocked.

Maka smirked at her and said. "There's your evidence, Queenie."

Sora smirked at her as well and said. "Alice is innocent. Let her go."

The Queen's furious face returned and she yelled. "Silence! I'm the law here! Article 29: Anyone who defies the queen is guilty!"

"That's crazy!" Donald yelled.

"Yeah, your law sucks!" Levy yelled as well.

"Hey, Sora. Take a look at Queenie over here." Maka said with a smirk on her face.

"Yeah, Maka. She may look like a scary individual. But… deep down inside, she's nothing more than a cowardly wuss!" Sora said with a smirk on his face as well.

Those comments pissed off the Queen very much. "THAT'S IT! GUARDS, OFF WITH ALL OF THEIR HEADS!"

The hedges and podium disappeared, as a crank tower appeared from the ground. One of the cards turned the crank and raised Alice's cage.

Maka and Sora took out their Keyblades, as the rest of the gang joined them.

"Alright, that's it!" Maka said.

"Let's dance, Cards!" Sora said.

At that moment, all of the cards started attacking them.

And… We are done with Part 1 of the first world - Wonderland in Chains of Destiny. Next part will be the Trickmaster Battle and then we are off onto the next world – The Olympus Coliseum.

I been you weren't expecting the surprise! The moment Maka was called a flat-chested bitch by the Queen of Hearts was the perfect moment for our first Maka-Chop! To be truthful – I like the White Rabbit and the Cards a little better than Queen Bitch herself. If you asked me, she deserved it. Hopefully, you all won't be mad for the way I changed the storyline a little bit – I know in the game that Queen of Hearts gives you the order to go find the evidence need for Alice's freedom, but I needed to change it. Just, don't be mad. Please.

Anyways, that's all from me for now! Enjoy this next chapter of a two-parter Wonderland and expect Part 2 very soon.

See ya!
