Well after a few more questions and the shock of seeing the Nautilus, The LXG accompanied by Alice and the Hatter came to talk about the new threat.
"So I still don't get this, what is this about," Sawyer asked.
"The Queen of Hearts, the ruler of Wonderland, wants to start a war between my world and yours" the Hatter said.
"That's it in a nutshell," Alice said.
"So how do we stop her?" Mina asked.
"Well, first we have to find where she plans on bringing her army to this world" Alice explained.
"And how do we find that out?" Skinner smiled as he starred at Alice.
"That's my job" a sudden voice came from nowhere, then a cat, the same one Sawyer saw came trotting up.
"And you are?" Mina said coolly
"I am the Cheshire Cat, spy for the Living and belong to the dead" the cat grinned.
"Please don't mind the Cheshire cats riddles" the Hatter said, "he's always doing that".
"What did he mean by that?" Dr. Jeykle finally chimed in.
"Exactly what he said, you see there is a part of Wonderland where the dead roam" Alice began "so anytime the Queen needs an invincible warrior she can get it".
"But the good thing is, she can't bring them to this world" the Hatter said with joy.
"But we can" Alice ginned.
"We can?" the Hatter exclaimed.
"Yes, we can" Alice said.
"And how can you accomplish this?" Nemo asked, a little disturbed by Alice's tone.
"I think that's a mystery for another night" the Hatter said very eager to get out.
"I believe the Hatter is right, we shall finish this another time" Nemo said and excused himself.
"Well I think Nemo and—what is your name?" Skinner questioned.
"Hatter will be just fine" he said and also excused himself, pulling Alice along with him.
"Well you two, looks like you have competition" Mina chuckled along with Dr. Jeykle.
"What are you talking about?" Skinner and Sawyer said together.
"You two just watch yourselves" Dr. Jeykle chuckled. Yes Dr. Jeykle was laughing, ever since he had gotten control of Hyde; things had been going smoothly.
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO CLOSE THE MIRROR" the Queen screamed at Grey.
" Well it's not my fault, your majesty, I am but a simple spirit" Dorian Grey sneered.
"DO NOT BE INCOMPIDENT" the Queen of Hearts screamed at her newest soldier.
"Your majesty please calm down, the only way to capture Alice is to keep our heads" Grey said as he ground his teeth into each other. Ever since Mina had killed him, he had been put to work for this hot tempered idiot. He wasn't alone though, Allen Quartermaine had come to this strange place and so far he had only seen Quartermain once.
"Your right Grey, we need Alice to bring my magnificent army to life" the Queen boasted "now, FIND HER".
"What were you thinking?" the Hatter whispered fiercely "you could have just reviled your secret to an enemy".
"Funny, haven't you done that before?" Alice growled.
"Alice look, I care about you and I don't want you to be hurt" the Hatter said.
"Look, I care about you to, you're my friend but I know what I am doing" Alice said and walked to her room for the night
The next day was just as confusing as the first, Alice and the Hatter had not spoken since the night before. So this was Sawyers time to shine, as Alice was walking up to the ' deck', as Skinner would call it; he would charm her a bit.
"So, how do you like it here?" Sawyer started.
"It's peculiar that's for sure, but I guess I have seen worse" Alice said looking over the vast ocean.
"So what is this Wonderland like?" Sawyer asked leaning on the rail.
"It's what ever you want it to be," Alice said absently.
"So I am assuming you like it there" Sawyer said.
"99 percent of the population assumes, don't be in that category" Alice said and walked away.
"I want you and a troop of about 3 to go to London and find Alice" Grey said to his small commanding troop of Cards. He had the pleasure of commanding his own deck of Cards; this was going to work to his advantage.
"Alice don't, your going to hurt someone" the Hatter pleaded with his friend.
"I know what I'm doing," she said facing the mirror in her room.
"You might let in Grey too," the Hatter said.
"It's okay, because I also know how to put them back" Alice smiled at her friend. Alice looked into the mirror and then thrust her hand into it. It began to melt, and when it had fully melted, there stood a large opening, leading into the woods. Actually, the wood it referred to as the Tulgy Wood, but this wasn't very important at this point. Alice walked into the mirror and looked back at the Hatter.
"Be careful, and you better come back" the Hatter called to her. Alice simply smiled and walked into the Tulgy wood.
"Hello Alice, I was just wondering, would you like to – no" Sawyer exclaimed as he walked towards Alice's room he had been working on a way to ask Alice to take a walk with him, funny how complicated asking a person to take a walk with them can get. Sawyer knocked on the door but their came no reply, so he knocked again. Well this was very strange, Sawyer finally got fed up and walked into Alice's room and it was empty. Sawyer looked around and found a few interesting things, he found a book with red leather cover, a necklace with a pendant shaped like a full bloomed rose and one of her knives.
"She isn't here as you can tell" that Cheshire cat said, suddenly appearing on hear bed.
"Really, would have never guessed" Sawyer said rather disappointed.
"Don't worry, if you wait he for a short while longer you'll have a lot of fun" the Cheshire cat laughed and disappeared. Sawyer decided to take the odd cat's advice, and stayed for about 5 minuets longer. Well this worked to his advantage, the mirror began to tremble and the glass began to melt. Sawyer walked over to the mirror just in time to catch Alice, who was unconsiss and bleeding. Sawyer immediately laid her down and went to go find someone to help, because injuries weren't his specialty.
