Seto did a quick inventory of his deck and derived a couple strategies to pave the way for his ultimate dragon, but Seto did not think he needed it to beat the queen. After an hour Seto, Mokuba and Alice were escorted to the royal dueling arena. The area was the size of a stadium where all the spectators could watch the duel on giant screens and it had a holographic dueling system designed by KaibaCorp. Seto approached his dueling station and looked over at his pint-sized opponent. The queen of hearts was sitting on a small, but ornate thrown holding her teddy bear. "Are you ready to be beaten like you've never been beaten before Kaiba?"
"Let's get this over with I'm a busy man." He scowled.
"Alright!" She replied.
"I'll make the first move then." Rebecca placed a Witch of the Black Forest in attack mode. Seto smirked and said under his breath.
"Amateur" He then played his Battle Ox, which quickly took down the queen's monster. Rebecca searched her deck while Seto followed up by placing a magic card face down.
"Oh no, you killed my Witchie." She cried and then played a Sangan equipped with a horn of the unicorn and attacked the Battle Ox. Both monsters were lost. She then placed one card face down and ended her turn. Seto drew his first Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but decided to play La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp and called it too attack. Rebecca knew Seto was going to call an attack so she flipped over Tribute to the Doomed, quickly killing La Jinn and saving her life points. She then played the Millennium Shield in defense and ended her turn.

Alice and Mokuba sat in the bleachers watching the match. They cheered Seto from the distance, since the Mock Catapult Turtle, Major Caterpillar and the Griffin were sitting near the children, they all started to mimic Mokuba and Alice's cheering. Meanwhile on the queen's side of the arena the Mad Hatter and the March Hare were having another tea party, but stopped when the Mock Catapult Turtle started to sing. Everyone covered their ears, but the Mock Catapult Turtle continued to sing. Its song was simple but it was beginning to unnerve the spectators as well as the two duelists. Finally, the Door Mouse poked its head out of its teapot shelter and crawled up behind the singing turtle. The turtle swung around to see the Door Mouse. It then screamed a loud, "Bubonic Vermin," and then started to laugh. Everyone joined in the laughing and forgave the turtle since it was a kindly old creature, but the queen had enough outbursts. The commotion was disturbing her so she turned around and pointed her finger to the audience.
"Off with their heads!" She shrieked once she found the source of the disorder. The royal executioner grabbed the Mock Catapult Turtle and the Door Mouse. Rebecca then turned her attention back to her hand and drew The Ring of Magnesium. The Ring of Magnesium was the card she wanted so she could do one of her favorite combos. Rebecca flipped over her Millennium Shield, equipped it with the ring and followed it up by summoning Cannon Soldier. Seto knew she was going to use her Cannon Soldier to launch a monster on her next turn, so he played his Lord of Dragons and the face down Flute of Summoning Dragon. The Lord of D. summoned Seto's first Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the Tri Horn. Seto quickly used his Tri Horn to take out the shield and attacked the Cannon Soldier with his Blue-Eyes. Rebecca gawked realizing her failure. She expected Kaiba to hesitate because she was such a renowned duelist. Mokuba jumped up and shouted, "That's my big brother," while Alice daintily held the hem of her dress so it would not fly over her head while she jumped and cheered.
"No! No! This is not how I had it planned," she screamed. She drew her next card. It was a Man Eater Bug. The card was not a contender against either dragons, but its effect would destroy the dragon who attacked it once she dealt with the Lord of Dragons. Rebecca quickly fissured the Lord of D, used Change of Heart on Seto's Blue-Eyes White Dragon and attacked the Tri Horn. The queen then ended her turn by tributing the Blue-Eyes to bring out her Shadow Ghoul. Alice wondered why Seto allowed the queen to use his Blue-Eyes against him, but continued to cheer anyway. She figured that Seto did not draw a card that was able to counter the queen's magic card or that he was not taking the match seriously. Either way the match was getting interesting.
"Go! Seto! Go!" She gave into the frenzy all around her and cart wheeled. Her dress flew over her head, but no one around her seemed to have taken notice. Although when Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb saw Alice doing her cartwheel, they were furious. Alice smoothed out here hair, but saw it was a use. "I'll be right back," she told Mokuba. Mokuba was still working up the crowd; he notice Alice had left. She went off to the side and started to tidy herself up. Her hair was a mess and her ribbon had to be readjusted. It was not keeping her hair out of her eyes. She was still fixing her hair when when they approached her.
"Hey! We do the acrobatics here Miss Missy!" Tweedle Dee grunted. He spun her around.
"Hey! We do the acrobatics here Miss Missy!" Tweedle Dumb repeated. Alice looked up and saw that she was trapped. Both men were on either side of her. Mokuba and the remaining Wonderland characters were to busy watching the duel to see that she was in distress. Alice screamed, but Tweedle Dumb grabbed her and took her to the other side of the arena where her friends could not save her. They then got into their fighting stances, which so happened to look like their dueling poses. Tweedle Dee held Alice down while his brother was still back flipping, getting ready to strike her. At the same time Mokuba stopped cheering and looked around for Alice, but he did not see her. He was starting to have a bad feeling about her absence. When he was about to leave the area, he heard Alice's voice. Quickly he followed it.
"Yeah! That will teach you!" Tweedle Dumb sneered as he struck her face.
"Yeah! That will teach you!" His brother repeated. Tweedle Dumb started to back flip again, so Mokuba. took that opportunity to sneak behind Tweedle Dee since neither brother was paying attention.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size!"
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size," both brother repeated in unison.
"Mokuba!" Alice pleaded. "Save yourself." Both Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dee repeated Alice, but he did not listen. He jumped on Tweedle Dee's back and pulled his ears. When Tweedle Dumb saw his brother being attacked, he let go of Alice and tried to remove Mokuba off his brother. Alice seized the opportunity and kicked Tweedle Dumb in the shin. He fell over, making it easy for Alice to punch him in the face. She then looked over to Mokuba who was still pulling Tweedle Dee's ears. Both children continued to assult the two men.

Meanwhile Seto continued to battle the Queen of Hearts. Rebecca's Shadow Ghoul attacked Seto's face down Cyber Jar. She shrieked. With her Shadow Ghoul lost Rebecca's best monster was only a weak level 4 monster who's attack points depended on a coin toss. Rebecca drew another Witch of the Black Forest, Sangan, Doll Bait, Stuffed Animal and Goddess of Whim. Seto drew another Lord of D. and Flute of Summoning Dragon, Rude Kaiser, Mystic Horseman and his second Blue Eyes White Dragon. When Rebecca saw that Seto drew his signature card, a Lord of Dragons and the Flute of Summoning Dragon; she knew their match would be over in less than two turns. The queen had to come up with a strategy fast with the cards she had in her hand or else the match would go to Seto. Rebecca tossed a coin and called heads; then both players, played their level four and lower monsters. Since it was still Rebecca's turn she attacked one of Seto's face down monsters with her Goddess of Whim. The Goddess' attack strength was doubled because she called the coin toss correctly. When she saw the face down card that she destroyed was only the Mystic Horseman and not her intended target, the Lord of Dragons, she was furious. Rebecca ended her turn in a huff. She knew it was over; her Goddess could not stand up against a Blue-Eyes' attack. Seto drew his final Blue-Eyes White Dragon and tributed both his face down cards to bring it out. He then used the Flute of Summoning Dragon and Lord of D. to bring out the remaining Blue-Eyes. "This match is over!" Seto declared. "I didn't even need to counter any of your magic or trap cards because it would have been a waste of my time!" Rebecca winced, she did not want to be beaten so easily, but she had no magic or trap card that could save her. She pounded threw her teddy bear down on the ground. Her defeat was beyond crushing; it was humiliating. "You aren't even fit to challenge my little brother, let alone call yourself a renown duelist!" Seto added. Everyone in the dueling arena hushed and braced themselves for the dramatic end of the duel. "Blue-Eyes, White Lightening Attack!" Seto order his Blue Eyes to attack the queen's Goddess of Whim. Rebecca had no choice but to shield her eyes from the dragon's blast. When she looked back at the field, her Goddess of Whim was gone as well as her life points. The score was completely one sided; Seto won the duel.
"Off with his head!" She pointed her finger at Seto. "Kaiba cheated! Off with his brother's head to!" Everyone looked; they were still in a daze by the humiliating defeat their queen had undergone. "What are you waiting for?" She picked up her teddy bear. "Off with their heads?" Finally, her guards fell on Seto, but he fought them off. At the same time Mokuba looked up from his fight with Tweedle Dee and saw the commotion.
"Alice, let's go!" He shouted to her. Both Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb shook their fist as the two children fled. Mokuba and Alice took hands and ran towards Seto. During all the commotion, no one saw that the Cheshire cat had appeared in the sky. Rebecca screamed again.
"Off with its head! Off with that cat's head!" She started to cry. "Grandpa, make it stop laughing at me!" The cat then poked out its tongue and gave her an extremely wet raspberry. All the guards turned their attention to the giant cat head in the sky, giving Seto, Mokuba and Alice time to fight their way out of the turmoil.
"Where do we run to?" Mokuba asked.
"This way," Alice replied. They ran into a nearby garden maze and then Alice instructed the Kaiba brothers to climb up the castle wall once they came across it. "We need to reach a high place," she told the pair. Seto did not know whether he could trust her, but he put her on his back and both him and Mokuba started to scale the wall. When they reached a window, Alice instructed them to climb inside. Precisely the same time they entered the castle a black vortex appeared in the sky. Mokuba immediately knew what Alice had planned. "We have to jump now." She told Seto. He backed away and walked over to the door. "Mr. Kaiba it's the only way." Alice pleaded. Seto opened the door to investigate the castle, but saw that a teem of guards were coming their way. He slammed the door and turned back around to see that Alice and Mokuba had jump out of the window. Instantaneously he ran over to the window, but did not see where they landed. Then he heard something slam into the door. Seto knew the guards would break down the door in a matter of minutes. He knew he had to jump. Without another moment's hesitation Seto closed is eyes and jumped out the window to follow his brother. When his feet touched solid ground, he opened his eyes and saw that he was on the roof of the castle. Alice and Mokuba were silently staring at him, waiting for him to speak. He started at both of them in disbelief.
"Where do we go now?" Seto asked.
"You have sullied the queen's pride; she will pursue you two no matter where you go in Wonderland."
"What will happen if she cuts off our heads?" Mokuba asked. "Can't we just grow new ones?"
"No, you will die just like if you were back in your reality," her voice trailed off. She then pointed towards the vortex. It had grown larger and it was starting to devour the clouds and block out the sun. "There is only one place for you to go." Everyone looked up. "Home," she replied. "This is the exit portal back to your reality. I have opened it for you." Alice solemnly told them.
"What about you?" Mokuba asked. "Won't she take your head?"
"No, I'm her sister and if she tried to cut off my head, grandpa would not allow it." Everyone then turned their attention back to the sky. The portal stopped growing and hung over them. "I'll miss you Mokuba?"
"Maybe we will see each other again," he replied. Seto waited for the children to say their good-byes. Then from the corner of his eye, he saw the white rabbit that brought them to Wonderland. It hopped over to Alice. She picked it up and gave it to Mokuba.
"Don't forget me and our little adventure in Wonderland!"
"Time to go," Seto cut in.
"Write to me at KaibaCorp." Mokuba replied.
"I will, " Alice replied. She then kissed him on the cheek. Mokuba blushed. "Well your portal is waiting." She walked to the edge of the roof. "It's time to jump again, the guards will be here any minute." Seto scooped Mokuba up in his arms and jumped off the roof. As he looked up, he saw Alice looking down on them as they fell. He could also hear Mokuba crying softly as he waved to her. The last image Seto saw of Wonderland was that of Alice. She was waving to them while the guards surrounded her. Then everything faded to black as they fell into the portal.

"Seto," Mokuba called out. He stepped out of his virtual pod to see his brother was already up. "Seto!"
"Yes, Mokuba?"
"I want to go back to Wonderland and see if Alice is okay," he replied. Seto laughed; his brother still had tears his eyes.
"Don't worry about her, she's fine." He assured him. "So what did you think about your birthday present?"
"It rocks big brother!" Mokuba gave him two thumbs up. "How about we get a rabbit?" Seto smiled warmly.
"I hope you like the birthday party I threw for you."
"Party? What party?"
"Everyone is waiting for you in the next room right now." He then gave him a cardboard box. Mokuba's eyes lit up.
"Oh! Seto!?" Mokuba exclaimed. He gave him a hug.
"That's not all. Aren't you going to open the box?" Mokuba gently shook the mysterious looking parcel. When he took off the lid, he saw a big white rabbit inside the box. Mokuba did not know what to say. The child stared wide-eyed. "Well get going Mokuba, you don't want to keep your friends waiting." Seto told him. Mokuba took the rabbit and entered the party. As he entered the room all of his friends yelled, "SUPRISE!", but Seto remained in the other room. He shut the door when he saw his brother's friends crowd around him. The room was sound proof so he would not be disturbed by the party, but he did not need to hear the laughter of the children to know that Mokuba was having a good time. Seto was glad that he made his brother's birthday special. He then went back to work on his project. He had a few bugs to workout with the Wonderland program.
