Shelly glanced outside, her eyes widening when she saw Alyss's troops heading towards the castle. "It's time.." she whispered.
In front of the castle, the others had gathered, Oz was chatting nervously, Liam kept tugging on his ears and freaking out, Cheshire remained silent his tail twitching nervously, Sharon and Break whispered nervously amongst themselves, while Vincent took a nap.
Everyone's attention turned on Shelly when the white queen emerged from the castle (except Vincent, whose head lifted up a moment before plopping back down as he went back to sleep.) Oz smiled happily "Thank goodness, Lady Shelly you're here! Alyss is almost here….what do we do?" Shelly glanced at everyone for a moment. "Alright…everyone…remain calm…Break…you were once a knight, a chessman of my court. I would like you to assemble the chessmen. " The hatter dipped his head and went off, with Sharon close behind. "Oz, Alice come with me and we will get you two situated…the rest of you…I suggest you prepare for battle…"
…
Liam paced nervously on the steps with Cheshire licking his paw, making sure his claws were nice and sharp. Vincent snored on as Liam searched his pockets frantically for a weapon, he groaned once he only found a spoon. His ears twitched when he heard the sound of clanking metal and turned to see the chessmen assembling themselves in front of the castle, ready to head to the battle field.
Break and Sharon came forth as well, behind Sharon was her chain Eques, a flaming purple unicorn. Break had his sword in hand, a mischievous smirk on his face as if the hatter couldn't wait to give Alyss and her troops a good punishment.
Sharon looked around "Where are Oz and Alice?" As if to answer her question, Alice emerged from the castle, a large black rabbit behind her. Her eyes were glowing red and she held the vorpal blade in hand. "Here…" She said, her voice twisted slightly with the power of abyss.
The others looked at Alice in awe, while Break grinned. "So…she is the right Alice after all…"
