Chapter 133: Wonderland
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. I am so sorry about the wait for this one. I was suffering from a case of Writer's block regarding this. I had to rewatch the Alice in Wonderland movies and the Walkthroughs of it from the KH Games. Anyway first chapter of 2024, I hope this starts the year off well. And not to mention I'm coming up 6 years since I first made this story. Man time flies. Please Review and Enjoy.
Back on the Tempest, we see Crystal on a video call with her parents talking about what happened in Arendelle.
"I can't believe there's such a world where your father and I fell in love." The Snow Queen said.
"And I can't believe there's a version of me that uses lightning." Snow King laughs.
"Marcus and Elsa were definitely different but at the same time, I really felt like I was with you guys. And if they're anything like you two, they'll be together for a while." Crystal giggles.
"Well, you're definitely different now, sweetie. You can do magic without a wand. That's pretty amazing. Guess we can't Disempower you anymore." Her mom smirks.
"I'll admit it's gonna take some getting used to, but it feels right not needing a wand anymore," Crystal said.
"Hey Crystal come over here! There's a Sea Salt Ice Cream with your name on it." Roxas calls out.
"Ooh ice cream." She smiles making her parents smirk.
"You better get going, sweetie. Your boyfriend is calling." The Snow King smirks making her blush.
"Dad!" She said hanging up before they could respond. "Ugh so embarrassing."
As she made her way over she heard a loud noise coming from the Materials room.
Curious she peeked inside to see Lizzie was crafting what appeared to be the metallic apple symbol.
"There we go." Lining it up, Lizzie places it in the middle of something and smiles. "Done."
Opening a small chest, she places a mysterious object in it and sighs relieved.
"Finally. That's all of them." She breathes relief.
"Hey Lizzie, what's done?" Crustal asks getting her attention.
"Oh, Crystal? Uh, nothing. Just a personal project I've been working on for a while." Lizzie said.
"Well, I was gonna grab something to eat. Wanna join me?" Crystal asks.
"I suppose I could use a break." Locking the chest up, Lizzie does a stretch before joining her.
As they went to eat, we saw Kitty in another room had made a call to Ansem.
"Hey, you were the one who basically made the link with the Digimon right? So you know all there is about them?" Kitty asks.
"I know quite a bit if that's what you're asking." Ansem nods.
"What's the deal with Meicoomon? Everyone else has gotten their Digimon to Digivolve at least once. Some more, but I'm the only one who hasn't yet. What's the deal?" Kitty asks.
"It's quite simple really. All the other Digimon are at Rookie level, but you have the only Digimon that's already at Champion." Ansem clarifies.
"Wait so if I want Meicoomon to digivolve I gotta unlock my crest for it to do so?" Kitty realized.
"I'm afraid so. This is something that only you two can solve." Ansem said before hanging up.
Sighing Kitty sits back only to feel a tug on her sleeve.
Looking over she saw Meicoomon had come out to give her support.
"I'm sorry Kitty. I wish I was strong enough to Digivolve. At this rate it'll take a miracle to unlock my crest." Meicoomon frowns.
"Hey, we'll figure out a way around this. Sneaking past problems is this cat's specialty." Kitty said.
"You think so?" Meicoomon asks.
"I'm a Cheshire cat. Finding ways around problems is literally in my blood. Well, that and causing problems." Kitty said as both cats chuckled.
Meanwhile in the weapons room, Rosabella and Courtly were with the Moogle having new weapons being made.
"Here you go kupo." The Moogle said presenting Rosabella with a brown wrist guard with red claw marks on it.
"What is this?" Rosabella asks.
"The Beast Claw Grappler, kupo." The Moogle declares.
Attaching it to her arm, Rosabella saw it change from a whip to a lasso and finally to a grappling hook.
"Ooh, this will come in handy," Rosabella said as she flicked it and the claw part slashed the target in half.
"My turn! Me next!" Courtly said eagerly.
"Here you go Kupo." Combining materials we see a hammer with a white handle, a purple top, and atop the mallet, a blue orb connected golden chain linked to it.
"Ooh I like this," Courtly said.
"I still don't have a name for it though, kupo. But watch yourself that orb atop it is dangerous." The moogle warns.
"Hmm, I'll call it Wild Destiny." Courtly declares.
Looking at each other both girls were eager to test their new weapons out.
That night, all of them were relaxing and taking care of their final routines before heading off to bed.
As Lizzie was in the kitchen pouring herself a glass of water, she turned around and noticed something gleaming.
Curious she walks over to see Roxas had left his jacket on a chair and the Wayfinder she made him was dangling from the inside pocket.
"He really kept it?" She smiles.
It was so strange before she had met Roxas she never really considered doing something like that for other people. In fact back then he along with everyone else was scared of her.
Back then, Lizzie thought she had to always act like her mother and that her friends were really just her subjects.
"Oh hey, that's where I left it." Turning around Lizzie saw Roxas walking over.
"Oh, Roxas?" Lizzie said putting the Wayfinder back in.
"So Crystal tells me you've been busy. Anything I can help with?" Roxas asks.
"No, I'm good this isn't really something that I need your skillset for," Lizzie said.
"Is it fashion related?" Roxas assumes.
"Hmm something like that," Lizzie said.
"Yeah you're better off asking someone other than me for help. Fashion is not my thing." Roxas said.
"I don't know. You tend to dress pretty fashionable." Lizzie said.
"Literally everything I wear is something you've made me." Roxas points out making her giggle.
"Okay, you got me there. But hey you pull it off well." Lizzie said.
Suddenly a loud beeping noise startled Lizzie.
Turning around she saw his World Map was going off.
"Oh man looks like we have our plans for tomorrow," Roxas said.
"I'm ready," Lizzie said taking out her cards to figure out who should go.
As Roxas brings it up, he scans the map to see the next world is several hours away, and when they see what it is both their eyes widen.
Seeing this Lizzie drops her deck of cards making them fall all over the floor.
"Roxas I swear if you don't let me come to this one, off with your head!" Lizzie threatens but Roxas just smirks.
"You know that doesn't scare me anymore Lizzie," Roxas said.
"Oh please. Please. Please. I need this one. Don't mess with me." Lizzie pleads cupping her hands together.
Chuckling Roxas started to laugh. "Like I was ever gonna say no. But it was cute seeing you beg."
"Ugh you are unbelievable," Lizzie said frustrated with puffy cheeks.
"Actually I think I think I have the whole team figured out for this one," Roxas said.
"Ooh, what world did they see?" The female narrator asks.
"I don't know but it's one where Lizzie really wanted to go and Roxas already has a team." The male narrator said.
"What was it? I need to know." Brooke said eagerly.
An hour later, everyone gasped to see the world they were going to was…Wonderland.
"FINALLY!" Maddie cheers.
"Ooh, we get to see what a parallel wonderland is like," Blondie said.
"For this world joining me and Blondie will be Maddie, Chase, Alistair, Bunny, Courtly, Kitty, and…Lizzie." Roxas declares making the Wonder Kids grin.
"Are you serious? All of us?" Courtly grins.
"Who better to help navigate the madness that is Wonderland than people who have lived there? Or at least a version of it." Roxas said.
"Man it's been a while since I went there," Sora said.
"Xion, Roxas, and I went there a few times in the past. Although a lot of it involved sneaking around and ducking those giant cards." Lea recalls.
"You guys never went inside the castle?" Riku asks.
"We were lucky to navigate that place. Nothing makes sense and that cat didn't make anything easy either." Xion said.
"Cat? You mean the Cheshire cat?" Kitty asks.
"Oh yeah, that's your mom. Boy are you in for a surprise." Lea snickers.
"Why? What's so funny?" Kitty asks.
"It'll be easier when you see it," Xion said.
"Did you guys ever see any of our parents when you went to Wonderland?" Alistair asks.
"Well we ran into Alice, she was one of the Princesses of the Heart," Sora said.
"After that, it was a White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts," Donald said.
"You didn't run into anyone else? What about the Mad Hatter?" Maddie asks.
"No, I don't think we saw him," Goofy said scratching his head. "Sorry."
"Just watch yourself, this Wonderland has quite a few differences compared to yours," Xion said.
"Thanks for the warning but I think we can handle it." Chase assures.
Arriving at Wonderland, the team slowly made their way down to leave but when they were about to step off a large hole suddenly appeared under them.
"What in the—" Before Maddie could finish they all fell through the hole screaming.
"What's going on?!" Courtly asks as they fall past several clocks and doors.
"We're going down the rabbit hole!" Alistair realizes before they all crashed at the bottom.
Groaning Roxas slowly sat up. "Is everyone okay?"
Groaning everyone was slow to get up. "In a way," Chase said.
Looking around they saw they were in a large brick hallway with a checkboard pattern floor.
"So this is Wonderland?" Blondie asks.
"Ehh not exactly," Roxas said when something came running down the hall.
"Oh, my fur and whiskers! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" A little voice calls out getting their attention.
Gasping Bunny smiled widely as a little white rabbit in a red jacket and glasses holding a big watch came running by.
"No way." Kitty grins.
"I'm late, I'm late! For a very important date! No time to say 'hello, goodbye,' I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" The White Rabbit said running past them and down the hall.
"That was another version of my dad," Bunny said amazed.
"And he sucks at being on time just like ours." Courtly mocks amused.
"You guys are already bouncing off the walls and we haven't gotten to the cool part yet." Roxas chuckles.
"This isn't the cool part?" Alistair asks.
"Follow me." Roxas gestures.
"Ooh yes please," Maddie said skipping happily alongside him.
"Brace yourself, viewers, after a bizarre entrance this trip to a new version of Wonderland is sure to be, well Mad." Blonde records as the others follow after her.
As Lizzie followed behind, she glanced at Maddie holding Roxas' hand.
"Mmm, you wish that was you?" A female voice whispered.
"A little," Lizzie admits before turning around confused but sees nothing. "I thought I heard someone."
"Maybe you did. Maybe you didn't. But what I do now is you have no chance of getting a guy like Roxas to fall for you. I mean let's face it, compared to Maddie, I wouldn't pick you either." The voice mocks.
"Shut up!" She yells turning around but just ended up startling her friends.
"Lizzie, what's wrong?" Courtly asks.
"Uh sorry, I thought I heard something." Lizzie recovers.
"We must be close then," Roxas said as they continued.
As they made their way to the end of the hall, a figure in an Organization Coat appeared in the hall.
"Ooh, I'm gonna have some fun messing with this one." The female member chuckles as a big grin appears on her face but we didn't see her face.
Entering the room at the end of the hall, they saw the White Rabbit but he was so tiny that he ran into a door.
"Ooh, how'd he get so small so fast?" Maddie asks.
Walking up to a table, Roxas saw a potion on it.
"After all these years it's still here," Roxas smirks amused.
Picking it up, Roxas took a sip and immediately shrank down on the table.
"Hey, guys down here!" Roxas calls out.
"Ooh, I've always wanted to do this." Alistair grins.
"We are really going into Wonderland," Courtly said as they all sipped it and shrank down onto the table.
As they made their over they saw a door with a doorknob that had a face on it.
"Hello. Wakey, wakey Mr. Doorknob." Maddie said knocking on the door making it groan.
"What is it? I was in the middle of a nap?" The doorknob said.
"Did you see a white rabbit come through here?" Chase asks.
"It did." He said in a sleepy tone.
"We're following it. Do you mind letting us—" Before Alistair could finish the doorknob fell asleep again.
"Hey wake up!" Kitty said banging on the door. "We need to get through."
However, the doorknob was back asleep again.
"Oh no, I remember this door. My mom told me you can only get through the door if it's awake. If it's asleep you're stuck." Alistair recalls.
"So what? We just stand around and wait for it to wake up?" Blondie assumes.
"Well that…or we can just use the other door." Roxas points.
Looking to the far edge of the room, they saw another door with no doorknob.
"You couldn't have pointed that out to us earlier?" Courtly deadpans.
"Since when did you become a pro guide to Wonderland?" Bunny asks.
"I wouldn't say that. Most of my knowledge is in this room and how to avoid the guards at the palace. Everything else we're gonna have to figure out as we go.
"Aww but I was enjoying Roxas' Wonderland Tours." Maddie pouts making Lizzie giggle.
"Hey it's Wonderland, what did you expect? Hardly anything makes sense in there." Roxas shrugs.
"He's not wrong." Brooke giggles.
"Well fortunately you have an entire team of people who do know their way around Wonderland," Chase said.
"Well an entire team plus Blondie," Courtly smirks.
"Hey," Blondie said turning to her but Courtly just walked ahead ignoring her.
As they made their way inside, they looked to see they were at the entrance of a giant hedge maze.
"Ooh, what is this?" Blondie asks.
"A hedge maze, lots of twists and turns here," Bunny said when they heard a loud marching noise.
"Quick hide," Roxas said as they hid behind a hedge and saw dozens of card soldiers marching with weapons at the ready.
"Alright men let's drive these invaders out. In the name of the Queen!" One red card declares.
"For the Queen!" They yelled before running down one path and away from the team.
"Invaders? Do you guys think they mean the Heartless?" Kitty asks.
"Probably a safe bet," Chase said.
"Come on, maybe if we hurry we can find some answers," Courtly said.
"Oh finding answers is easy, but not lining up them with the questions is hard." A male voice said.
"Who's there?" Alistair asked as they looked around.
"Who indeed?" Appearing atop the hedges, they see a small fat pink and purple cat with a big familiar grin on his face.
"Why am I not surprised to see you here?" Roxas deadpans.
"Oh, you're not? Well, that's no fun. But they look like ones who like to have fun." The Cheshire Cat grins looking at the Wonderland kids.
While most of them were surprised Kitty just cringed. This version of her mom was not what she had expected. This cat was almost her exact opposite appearance-wise and the opposite gender.
"I am not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this," Kitty said.
"Feel good, feel bad, feel sad, feel mad. So many choices." The Cheshire Cat chuckles. "Unlike those new guests. No choices on their face. Not under those hoods."
"Hoods? Were they in black hoods?" Lizzie gasps.
"Oh yes, black as the night itself." The Cheshire Cat said.
"Do you know where they are?" Maddie asks.
"Naturally, but then it would be in my nature to lie. Of course, the question is should I lie about in the flowers, or perhaps I'm lurking right behind you." The Cat smirks before disappearing.
"Right behind us?" Pausing Roxas' eyes widen. Summoning his keyblade he fires a beam of light only for a figure to leap out of the way.
"Aww, and I was just having fun." Looking up they saw the Organization figure landing atop the hedge.
"Wait. You were that voice messing with me when we showed up!" Lizzie points surprising everyone.
"You caught me. I just wish I got to mess with you more." The voice said. "Royals are always so easy to fool."
"Who are you?" Chase asks.
"Who am I? Oh, that's an easy one." Reaching up, she pulls down her hood revealing Kitty's face but with black highlights in her hair and sharp fangs added to her big Cheshire smile.
"So you're my Nobody." Kitty glares summoning her tonfas. "I gotta say I'm not impressed."
"Really? I've been following you all since the potion room. If anyone should be unimpressed it's me. You're not as sneaky as you think, Kitty." Xittyk said making her growl.
"What are you doing here?" Blondie asks.
"Sorry that's for us to know and you to find out if you're lucky. Those poor cards sure won't." Xittyk said getting their attention.
"Wait what are they heading to?" Maddie asks.
"You guys ask a lot of questions. I'd welcome you to try finding out for yourself." Xittyk said before disappearing.
"And I thought the Cheshire Cat was a pain," Brooke said.
"Hey." Kitty glares.
"Not your mom, the pink one," Brooke said.
"Wait she said those card soldiers were in danger," Chase said before all of them turned to the forest entrance.
"Come on." As all of them raced through, Lizzie briefly looked behind her to make sure Xittyk was gone before following after.
Racing into the forest, they look to see the Card Soldiers thrown all over while Crimson Jazz, Crescendo, Cymbal Monkey, and Skater Bomb Heartless were picking them off.
As a Crimson Jazz shoots a fireball at a card, Chase rushes in and slashes it in half.
"Get back!" Chase said as Alistair summons Fairy Champion and Roxas summons Snow Shock.
As Roxas slashes at a Skater Bomb it flies backwards allowing Courtly to hit it with a mallet causing it to squish together.
"Ha." Courtly grins before noticing a fuse go off. "Uh oh."
When it went out the Heartless exploded sending Courtly tumbling back under a large flower.
Before she could react the flower opened up revealing a Nimble Bee Heartless.
Yelping Maddie yanks Courtly out of the way avoiding its stinger and does a spin.
"Surprise!" Throwing a pumpkin bomb, it explodes taking it.
"Thanks a lot," Courtly said relieved.
"Watch out for the big flowers! They might have Heartless in them and some of the Heartless will explode!" Maddie calls out.
"Ooh looks like this world has some madness of its own," Blondie said having her Camera drones be on the lookout for hidden dangers.
As Bunny threw her hoop hitting two Cymbal Monkeys a Crescendo played a tune healing their wounds much to their frustration.
Appearing behind it, Kitty slashes the Crescendo destroying it.
"Wow even the Heartless are mad here." The female narrator said.
"Ones that explode, heal, and come out of flowers? Now that is madness." The male narrator said.
Drawing a few cards, Lizzie throws them at the Cymbal Monkeys paralyzing them and allowing Roxas to slash them away.
Throwing his keyblade, Alistair destroys a Crimson Tango.
Using her new mallet Courtly releases a glowing blue orb that knocks a Skater Bomb toward Nimble Bees taking them both out when it explodes.
"Wow, and that was only one of those," Courtly said impressed as the ball flew back to the top of her mallet.
As Bunny found herself in between a Crimson Tango and a Cymbal Monkey the Crimson Tango shoots a fireball and the Monkey sends sonic waves at her.
Acting quickly she drops her hoop on the ground and jumps into it making the Heartless take out the other.
Lining themselves up multiple Skater bombs were about to explode but the FAFs rushed in and whacked them all to the other Heartless causing them all to explode.
"Is that all of them?" Blondie asks as they check the nearby flowers to be safe.
"Yep I think so," Chase said.
"Hey, are you okay?" Alistair asks helping a card soldier up.
"They came out of nowhere; we were trying to save them." The soldier groans.
"Save who?" Alistair asks.
"5 of them came. They went to the castle in search of her. You have to stop them before they gather everyone." The soldier said before passing out.
"5 of them? Wait Xittyk said to us earlier, that means she must have come with backup." Kitty realized.
"And I bet the other 4 are with her in the castle, but the big question is what are they up to?" Bunny asks.
"I don't know but we better get going," Roxas said
"Go? Go where?" Appearing on a nearby branch the Cheshire Cat reappeared again.
"You again. What do you want?" Kitty asks.
"What do I want? Well, you want to know what you want. I want to know what you want to know." The Cheshire Cat said.
"What is the Organization up to? Where are they going?" Roxas asks.
"I don't suppose you know which way we should go?" Lizzie asks.
"Well I don't know the answer but I know a girl who lost once. What was her name again?" The Cheshire Cat pauses while Alistair gasps.
"Alice? Was the girl's name Alice?" Alistair asks.
"Was it? Hmm. Well if you really want to know. He went that way." The Cheshire Cat said pointing down the path.
Looking around they were confused by what he meant.
"Who?" Courtly asks.
"The White Rabbit." The Cheshire Cat said making Bunny smile.
"He did?" Bunny asks.
"Did what?' The Cheshire Cat asks.
"Went that way." Bunny points.
"Who did?" The Cheshire Cat asks.
"The White Rabbit!" Blondie said as they all were losing their patience.
"What rabbit?" The Cheshire Cat asks making them all frustrated.
"And I thought my mom was a pain," Kitty growls.
"However, if I were looking for the White Rabbit. I'd ask the Mad Hatter." The Cheshire Cat grins making Maddie gasps.
"Which way?" Maddie asks.
"That way." The Cheshire Cat points before disappearing.
"Why is it you can never get a straight answer in Wonderland?" Blondie asks.
"Because we're all mad." All the Wonderland Kids said almost instantly.
Pausing Blondie looks to Roxas who just shrugs. "I've learned it's easier to just accept that answer."
As they made their way down the path, they didn't notice 2 Organization members in black coats watching them.
"Ooh looks like we got some uninvited guests to the party." A female voice said before leaping through the treetops.
"Let's crash this party." A familiar voice said.
Meanwhile, in a small patch, the Cheshire Cat reappears enjoying messing with the FAFs.
"Nice kids. They remind me of Alice when she first got here." The Cat said.
"You don't say?" A familiar voice said.
"I do say. In fact I say a lot of things." The Cheshire Cat said only for Xittyk to drop in above startling the cat.
"You know I wasn't a fan of you snitching on me back there. Do you know what they say about snitches? They get stitches." Xittyk said with a big evil Cheshire grin that sent chills down the Cheshire Cat's spine.
Appearing on her arms, we see two hook blades that form a smile when together.
"Oh no. I don't like where this is going." Brooke gulps.
"What is she up to?" The Make Narrator asks equally nervous.
Further into the forest, the FAFs were walking down the path when they heard a familiar-sounding clock.
"Maddie, did you bring your tea clock?" Courtly assumes.
"That's not me. I left it back on the Tempest." Maddie said.
Looking to a clearing in the forest, they decided to investigate.
Making their way out, they looked in surprise to see a big table full of sweets and tea, but he wasn't alone. Next to him was a brown hare in a fancy outfit, a small mouse in fancy clothes, and a small man with a big green hat on his head.
"No way," Bunny said as Maddie smiled widely.
"The Mad Hatter." Maddie squeals.
"And the March Hare?" Courtly said in disbelief.
A very merry unbirthday
To me
To who?
To me
Oh, you
A very merry unbirthday
To you
Who, me?
Yes, you
Oh, me
Let's all congratulate us with another cup of tea
A very merry unbirthday to you
Laughing Maddie happily applauds them getting their attention.
"No room! No room! No room!" Both of them scrambled over to meet them.
"But there's plenty of room," Roxas said gesturing to the empty seats.
"Yes, but it's very rude to show up at a tea party unannounced." The March Hare said.
"I'll say it's rude. It's very, very rude." The Mad Hatter said.
"Very rude indeed." A small mouse said.
"We're sorry but we heard your fun song and we couldn't resist," Maddie said.
"You children enjoyed our singing?" The March Hare said interested.
"Yeah, it was entertaining to watch," Chase said.
"Oh, how delightful. I'm so excited, we never get compliments. You all must join us for a cup of tea." The Mad Hatter insists.
"Ooh yes please," Alistair said.
"I love tea time," Blondie said.
"Sorry, we interrupted your birthday party," Roxas said.
"Birthday? Young man this is not a birthday party." March Hare said.
"Certainly not. This is an Un-Birthday Party." Mad Hatter said pouring tea for everyone.
"Uh, Un-birthday?" Roxas asks confused.
"Well you know how you have 1 birthday well in Wonderland we have 364 Un-birthdays." Maddie explains.
"So that would make today our un-birthday too?" Blondie assumes.
"Exactly," Alistair said as both gasped.
"Ooh, it's your un-birthday too? What a small world." Taking off his hat, the Mad Hatter reached inside and pulled out a cake. "Oh shoot I forgot the candles."
"Don't worry." Taking off her hat Maddie reaches inside and pulls out some candles.
"Oh my, you're quite handy. Love your hat by the way." Mad Hatter chuckles.
"I like your hat too," Maddie said.
"Well, my hat likes you too." Mad Hatter chuckles as his hat starts barking like a dog hops onto the table and licks Maddie making her giggle.
"It's not often we have guests. What brings you by?" March Hare asks.
"Tell me have you guys noticed any people wearing black coats?" Blondie asks.
"Black? Black? Hmm." Pausing the Mad Hatter strokes his chin while pouring tea into an overflowing glass.
"Yes, I remember them. Total party crashers." March Hare said.
"Do any of you know where they went?" Alistair asks as the Mad Hatter finishes his cup.
"Yeah so if you could tell us—" Lizzie starts.
"Clean cup! Move down!" The Mad Hatter interrupts as they are forced up and out of their seats.
"Wait I didn't finish my cup," Roxas said as Maddie grabbed his arm and they moved.
"Clean cup! Move Down! Clean Cup! Move down!" They said as they were forced to move down the table.
"Would you like some more tea?" The Mad Hatter asks.
"Yes please," Chase said.
"Ah, I miss a classic Tea Time. I never get to do this with Raven." Maddie sighs.
"Oof, what a workout," Blondie said taking a glass.
"Anyway, please. We need help looking for people who might be in danger. Those people in Black Coats are after something." Lizzie said.
"What could they be after?" The March Hare asks.
"We don't know, that's why we're asking you guys," Chase said.
"You might know what we're trying to find. We're trying to find—" Courtly starts when Bunny finishes her tea.
"Clean cup! Move down!" Mad Hatter interrupts.
"Oh come on!" Roxas said the March Hare pushed Roxas down causing him to bump into Bunny and she knocked Alistair out of his chair and both fell on the grass.
Blushing softly both their faces were inches from each other.
As they sat up both looked at each other nervously.
"Uh sorry about that," Bunny said.
"N-No it was an accident," Alistair said.
"Look as mad and wild as this is we could really use some help," Chase said as Kitty finished her cup.
"Clean Cup! Move—" The Mad Hatter was about to start.
"No! No more moving!" Roxas interrupts. "Listen! The Organization is loose in this world doing who knows what and we need to move! We don't have time for this!" Roxas said frustrated by all the changes. "Also I haven't even gotten one cup."
"The time?! The time! Who's got the time?!" The March Hare gasps when suddenly the white rabbit burst out of the house.
"No, no, no. No time, no time, no time. Hello, goodbye. I'm late." The White rabbit said getting their attention.
"There you are." Bunny smiles.
"Oh, I'm late. I'm so very late." He said when suddenly a figure in an Organization Coat leaps in and smashes down on the table causing tea, snacks, and the mouse to fly everywhere.
"Actually you're right on time." The figure said grabbing the Rabbit.
"Help! Someone help me!" The White Rabbit panics.
"Hey I found your Black Coat." Mad Hatter points.
"Let him go!" Bunny was about to attack when a giant rubber boxing glove shot out from above making her smash face first into a cake.
"Ha ha! You got cake on your face!" Bouncing down we see Dexdima with a mad smile on her face. "I can't believe you fell for it." She laughs.
"I'm seeing double!" Mad Hatter gasps.
"You again, Dexdima?" Lizzie glares.
"That's my name. Don't wear it out." Dexdima said before noticing Roxas. "Mmm but you can say it as many times as you want."
Jumping down Dexdima lands in his lap. "What do you say handsome? I got a tasty teacup with your name on it?"
Growling in anger, both Maddie and Lizzie were furious.
"Get off of him right now!" Lizzie orders.
"Yeah! I'm the only Hatter in Roxas' life" Maddie said.
As Roxas summons his keyblade Dexidma quickly jumps off narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Please let me go this instant!" The White Rabbit struggles but the Organization figure wouldn't budge.
"Not a chance. You're coming with us. And grab the Hatter too." The figure orders.
"Ooh, you got it," Dexidma said before looking at Roxas. "Talk to you later."
"How about never!" Reaching into her hat, Maddie pulls out a pumpkin bomb and throws it at her.
Summoning a mallet, Dexdima swings it knocking the bomb into the air causing it to explode above them.
"Now this is a tea party." March Hare grins.
Summoning his keyblade, Alistair lunged at the other one but she dodged it with skills.
"Too slow!" The figure said only for Kitty to take out her Digivice.
"Meicoomon help us out!" Kitty said summoning her Digimon.
As both cats leaped in they forced the figure to retreat only for Courtly to swing her hammer hitting her in the chest and forcing her to drop the White Rabbit as she fell to the ground.
"Why do you want the White Rabbit so badly?" Bunny asks as the figure stands up.
"Call it something personal." Turning around, everyone gasped to see Bunny, but with black streaks in her hair and black rabbit ears.
"Y-You're me." Bunny gasps.
"You wish. I'm better than you ever could." Nuxnby said taking a stance as she revealed her Dark Digivice. "Come on out Wendigomon!" Appearing alongside her, they saw a large muscular beast Digimon with horns on its shoulders and head, along with a white bunny hat that had ears hanging from its side.
"That is one bad bunny," Kitty said Meicoomon felt like it might get crushed like a pancake.
Leaping in Wendigomon attempts to stomp them but they dodge.
"Fire Strike!" Coating the keyblade with flames, Alistair lunges in at Nuxnby but right before he can hit she makes a sweet innocent look that resembles Bunny causing him to hesitate.
Once he did a devilish grin appeared on her face.
"Gotcha!" Nuxnby said moving in and delivering a fierce kick to the gut knocking Alistair to the ground.
"Alistair!" Bunny gasps as Nuxnby leans in.
"What did I ever see in a weakling like you?" She smirks making Alistair's eyes widen. "I know a real man who unlike you is a million times better."
"Get away from him!" Bunny yells throwing her hoop but Nuxnby jumps up avoiding it.
As the White Rabbit and Mad Hatter tried to get away, Dexdima was after them.
"Oh, now you don't! Grabbing banana cakes off the table, she threw them causing them to land in front of them making the two slip and fall.
Laughing at their misfortune Dexidma moved in to grab them when Terriermon leaped in.
"Bunny blast!" Terriermon said but Dexdima took off her hat and sucked the attack up.
"Too bad so sad," Dexidma said was Chase swung his sword forcing her to block.
"You weren't invited to this party. So get lost." Chase said.
"No one tells me when to leave the party." Dropping down Dexidma kicks Chase between the legs making Chase cringe in agony.
"Ooh, that's gotta hurt." Roxas cringes.
"Low blow!" Blondie mocks.
"Here's another one!" Kicking pies and cakes off the table they flew hitting Blondie in the face.
"That is so not just right!" Blondie said wiping the frosting off in frustration.
Leaping up Dexidma laughs swinging her mallet but Roxas blocks it with his keyblades.
"Aw come on Roxas, baby. Don't be angry. Would a kiss make it better?" Dexidma asks puckering her lips.
Using her cards, Lizzie throws one creating a powerful gust of wind that blows Dexidma away allowing Blondie to zap her multiple times with the camera droids.
Before she could realize what happened Maddie took off her hat and a giant red boxing glove shot out hitting Dexdima in the face.
Turning to the Hatter and Rabbit, Roxas saw they were hiding in the corner.
"What are you waiting for? Keep running." Roxas points to the forest.
Not needing to be told twice, both ran as fast as they could.
"Leaving the party so soon? But one more guest hasn't shown up yet." Dexidma said revealing a Dark Digivice.
"Oh no her too?" Blondie gasps.
"Time to crash this party! Golemon!" Dexidma said as a large golem Digimon smashed the table to pieces before grabbing the Mad Hatter and White Rabbit in its giant arms.
"Oh come on! How is that Digimon supposed to suit me?" Maddie said annoyed that her Nobody has something like that.
"It doesn't. That's part of the madness." Dexidma grins reaching into her hat and pulls out a smoke bomb. "Later suckers!" Dexidma cackles madly before slamming it down creating a cloud of smoke that surrounded them.
When it cleared everyone saw the two Nobodies and their Digimon were long gone.
"Where'd they go?" Chase asks as Blondie swiped through her Mirrorpad hoping a camera droid caught them.
"Oh, poor Hatter. Poor rabbit." March Hare frowns worried for his captured friends.
"Ugh that Dexdima drives me mad." Maddie growls.
"No kidding. And not the fun kind." Kitty said.
"What was my Nobody talking to you about Alistair?" Bunny asks curious.
As he looks at her, he remembers how Nuxnby said she used to have feelings for him. Did that mean Bunny had feelings for him too? And if she did how should he tell her about his?
"Nothing important. Just trying to mess with my head." Alistair said.
"What do you think they could be after?" Terriermon asks.
"Yeah they just came, messed with us, kidnapped the parallel versions of your parents, and left," Meicoomon said getting their attention.
"I got a visual." Looking at her mirror pad, Blondie showed Nuxnby and Dexdima running through one part of the maze.
"Wait a second…" Pausing Roxas remembered what was in that direction. "They're going to the castle."
"The castle? But then that means they're after the Queen of Hearts." The March Hare said making Lizzie gasp.
"But what? They grabbed the White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter. What purpose could those two have? I mean we all know the story of Alice." Chase said when Blondie let out a gasp.
"Wait a minute. That card earlier said that they were gathering people and bringing them to the castle. But the Nobody of Bunny and Maddie went after the parallel versions of their parents and then we met Kitty's nobody when we saw the Cheshire Cat. I think they have something planned that involves them. Something bad." Blondie explains.
"You would be correct." A familiar voice said.
Looking up to the tree they saw the Cheshire cat reappear but this time his fur was all messy and a tired look on his face.
Gasping Kitty ran over. "What happened to you?"
"More like what didn't happen. I escaped but I left my tail behind." The Cheshire Cat said revealing it was gone.
"Are you okay?" Blondie asks.
"Don't worry it's catching up." The Cheshire Cat gestures to show his tail bouncing down the path towards them before reattaching itself to the cat. "Ah much better."
"Can you do that?" Maddie asks looking at Kitty from the back.
"I'm not testing that theory," Kitty said immediately. "Who did this to you?"
"The you from earlier." The Cheshire Cat said giving them a straight answer for once.
"Xittyk." Kitty hisses.
"What did she want with you?" Roxas asks.
"Something bad, they have something dangerous going on. You must hurry." The Cheshire Cat warns.
"We will," Alistair said as Kitty handed the Cheshire Cat over to the March Hare.
"Get him some tea and rest. Hopefully, we can fix this." Kitty said.
"You know. I like you better than that other cat." The Cheshire Cat said making Kitty smile.
"Thanks," Kitty said happy to hear that.
Leaving the tea party behind, the FAFs made their way through the forest and back to the hedge maze.
Entering the path they came across a fork in the road with two paths.
"Alright, Roxas do you remember anything else from your trips here?" Chase asks.
"Okay uhm both of these are hedge mazes but one of them leads to the castle. One was filled with white roses and the other had red ones." Roxas recalls.
"The red one has to be the Queen of Hearts," Maddie said.
"Agreed my mother loves red ones above any color." Lizzie nods. "Sometimes she would mess with Auntie by having her white roses painted red."
"How'd she take it?" Courtly asks.
"She did not find it funny and would try to find ways to mess with her," Lizzie said.
"Well Lizzie, I should warn you, this Queen of Hearts is not like yours. She's worse." Roxas cringed recalling when Sora crossed paths with her.
"Can't be any worse than what we've been dealing with," Kitty said.
Entering the maze, they saw 3 paths with the castle in the distance.
"Which path do we take?" Terriermon asks unsure.
"This one I'm not sure. I never got this far." Roxas admits.
"Wow, what a time to become less helpful," Courtly said.
"Hey, he got us pretty far." Alistair defends.
"Here let me try something." Grabbing Meicoomon, Maddie tosses her up high in the air causing the cat Digimon to scream.
"Maddie! What are you doing?!" Kitty asks.
Reaching into her hat Maddie pulls out a trampoline and when Meicoomon lands she bounces off it and lands into Kitty's arms still shaken.
"Did you see which path was the right one?" Maddie asks.
"No I was too busy screaming to look! Why didn't you tell me that before you threw me?!" Meicoomon asks.
"Oops." Giggling Maddie lightly pats her head. "I knew I forgot something. Okay, let's try this again."
Maddie reaches out at her but Meicoomon hisses telling her to back off.
"Here let me try." Walking over to the trampoline, Courtly jumps on it and leaps up. And a few seconds later landed down. "Man that maze is thick."
"OK forget this plan. Listen we have our Mirrorphones, we'll take a path and whoever reaches the outskirts of the castle message the rest of us, and we'll meet up." Roxas suggests.
"I guess that works," Courtly said.
Lizzie was about to go ask Roxas when she saw Maddie run to his side.
"I'm going with Roxas." Maddie declares hugging him close.
Grumbling Lizzie couldn't help but be jealous of how close those two were.
"Mind if I go with you guys?" Bunny asks.
"More the merrier," Roxas said as the three of them went down one path.
"Let's check out this one," Kitty said as she, Meicoomon, Chase, and Blondie went down the other.
"Hey Lizzie you wanna come with us?" Alistair offers gesturing to him and Courtly.
"Fine." Mumbling Lizzie goes down the last path.
Curious, Terriermon couldn't help but wonder why she was so sad.
As all of them made their way through the maze, each FAF was trying to navigate their way through it.
Walking along the wall, Maddie noticed one red rose dripping.
Running her finger along it, she wiped it off revealing that it was painted on.
"Painted Roses." Maddie giggles.
As Bunny looked around she couldn't help but wonder what her Nobody was like Alistair.
The way she looked at him. And what did she say to him?
And she wasn't the only one lost in thought.
'First Kitty, then Maddie and Bunny? That card said there were 5 Nobodies here in this world. Who could the other 2 be? Normally whenever I came here Luxord was always my go-to partner for this place. But then again that clown Kefka has his own sense of madness so it's possible he would fit in great. Then again, they do have the other Nobodies of my friends.' Roxas thought.
All over the maze, some of the FAFs were using this time to think and reflect. With Kitty's group, we see Courtly walking ahead with Blondie right behind her and Kitty bringing up the rear.
'I can't believe that other version of me would go so far and hurt the Cheshire Cat like that. I mean sure I wasn't the nicest girl. And Cheshire Cats always love to cause trouble for others, but…I never wanted to kill anybody.' Kitty thought
"You're not as sneaky as you think." Xittyk's words rang in her head.
Growling Kitty was gonna enjoy shutting her up.
Suddenly she was grabbed from behind snapping her out of it.
"Huh? Wha?" Kitty looks to see Meicoomon grab her leg. "Meicoomon?"
"You almost walked into a dead end." Meicoomon points.
"Oh uh…sorry," Kitty said turning back to Chase and Blondie.
"Hey, are you okay?" Blondie asks.
"I'm fine," Kitty said shaking off.
"Let me guess, this new version of Wonderland is taking some getting used to?" Chase assumes.
"Something like that," Kitty said playing along.
"How do you guys live in all this madness?" Blondie asks.
"Just experience. Come on I see another path over there." Chase points leading them through.
As they made their way down it several Heartless began appearing around the maze. And once they did they revved their engines.
Down the final path, Courtly and Terriermon were leading them while Alistair and Lizzie were lost in their thoughts.
"Face it compared to you I'd rather have Maddie too." As much as she hated to admit it, Xittyk was right. Maddie got to Roxas before her because she was nicer to Roxas. When he was struggling Maddie was one of his most supportive people. But when she met him, she left the worst first impression ever. And deep down that's why she never admitted her feelings for him, because he wasn't sure how to tell him or if he would even accept them.
Alistair was about to turn a corner when he noticed Terriermon had stopped.
"Hey, what's wrong Terriermon?" Alistair asks.
"Something's coming. And it's loud." Terriermon said getting their attention.
Looking down the path behind them, they look in horror to see several Mad Bumper Heartless racing through the maze ready to run them over.
Panicking they quickly ran down another path.
All over the maze teams were running for their lives as the car Heartless gained on them and unfortunately, they didn't have the room to fight back.
"Maddie do you have anything to slow them down?!" Bunny asks.
Reaching around in her hat she pulls out a rubber duck, and a banana peel before grabbing a pair of jacks. "Ooh, this might work."
Turning around Maddie throws the jacks down and when the Heartless ran over them their tires popped causing them to swerve wildly.
Spinning around, Bunny and Roxas throw their hoops and keyblade taking out the first two but one big one is still after them forcing them to keep running.
Down another path, Meicoomon slashed one Heartless to pieces but once she did another came up and rammed into her like she was a deer on the road.
"Meicoomon!" Kitty gasps catching her. "Are you okay?"
"Did anyone get the license plate on that thing?" She groans with swirly eyes.
"Snap out of it!" Kitty said as Chase grabbed her arm and they ran down the path.
Using her camera drones, Blondie fired at the Mad Bumpers as they chased them destroying one of them.
And finally, Lizzie threw multiple cards to make a wall but the Mad Bumpers rammed into it multiple times until they made a hole.
"Come on. Come on." Creating 5 glowing spheres Courtly whacked them like croquet balls that exploded upon contact. "Hole in one!" She grins only for 2 more to rush at her.
Panicking she ran ahead of the others.
"Run for your lives!" Courtly yells.
"What do you think we're doing?!" Alistair said.
Seeing they needed more cover Terriermon jumped up.
"Terriermon digivolve to Gargomon!" Digivoling Gargomon opened fire on the Mad Bumpers forcing them back.
"Come on this way!" Lizzie said as they ran down one path.
Meeting in a large opening the three groups saw all their paths lead to it.
"What are you running from?!" They all asked at the same time. "Heartless!" They all answered.
As the final Mad Bumper exited the maze the FAFs summoned their weapons eager to fight back.
Summoning Snow Shock, Roxas flung it freezing the ground at each entrance causing the Mad Bumpers to swerve and crash on the sides.
Drawing his sword, Chase slashes one while Courtly brings her hammer on it destroying it.
Swinging her tonfas and hoop, Kitty and Bunny destroy the second.
As Lizzie, Blondie, and Gargomon fire cards, lasers, and bullets Meicoomon scratches it destroying it.
The last two Mad Bumpers raced at Maddie but at the last second, she pulled out a stop sign causing the two Heartless to slam on the breaks.
Confused they didn't know what to do when Maddie spins the sign around to reveal it telling them to look up.
When they did Alistair and Roxas dive down and stab their keyblades into them causing them to explode into darkness.
With all the Heartless gone, they finally were able to catch their breath.
"Is everyone okay?" Roxas asks.
"We'll be fine," Bunny said.
"But we still have to figure out a way to the castle," Kitty said while Courtly was looking at something.
"Uh guys…" She starts.
"Are we going to have to split up again?" Chase asks.
"Guys…" Courtly calls out.
"I don't know. Who knows how long it'll take us to get through?" Blondie asks.
"Guys!" Courtly yells getting their attention. "We made it through!" She gestures.
Pausing all of them looked up to see they were in front of the Queen of Hearts castle.
"All paths in that maze led to the castle." The male narrator realized.
"Wonderland Madness folks. Always finds a way to mess with you." Brooke said.
Making their way into the castle, they passed by a giant croquet field where they saw various flamingoes and hedgehogs on the ground in pain.
"What in the? Are those real flamingoes?" Chase asks.
"And are those supposed to be the croquet balls?" Bunny asks pointing to the hedgehogs.
Looking at each other all the Wonderland kids didn't expect to see the actual animals used for their game. In their Wonderland they based the mallets and balls off said animals but they never once used the real thing at least not on purpose.
"So Roxas can you tell anything about the Queen of Hearts in this world?" Courtly asks.
"Uh let me put it like this, you'd rather deal with Lizzie's mom than this one any day," Roxas said making them cringe.
"That bad huh?" Alistair asks.
"Granted I'm only speaking from Sora's memories, but yeah. We can't just go in there, we need a plan. Blondie." Roxas said turning to her. "Mind scoping the inside?"
"On it." Activating her camera droids, Blondie sent one inside.
As they huddled in a corner to avoid being spotted their eyes were glued to Blondie's Mirrorpad.
In the throne room, they saw the White Rabbit and Mad Hatter in front of a throne but while they expected to see the Queen of Hearts their eyes widened in horror to see Zilxize sitting on the throne with Dexdima, Xittyk, and Nuxnby nearby.
"Lizzie?" Roxas gasps seeing her for the first time.
"Zilxize," Lizzie growls remembering their fight in Fiore.
"Well, well, what do we have here? A rodent with no sense of time management and a tea-chugging lunatic with a terrible choice of headwear." Zilxize said before looking at Xittyk. "So where's the furball that you're related to?"
"Don't remind me. And it got away. But he's found Alice." Xittyk said making Alistair gasp.
"Mom?" Alistair mutters not liking this.
"Well, at least it's not a total loss. After we're done with her burn down the whole forest if you have to but that cat and all his 9 lives are done for." Zilxize said getting up. "As for you two. Throw them in the dungeons."
"What? But what are you going to do with us?" The White Rabbit stutters.
"Oh don't worry. We're not locking you away forever." Dexidma assures.
"Really?" The White Rabbit said hopefully.
"No of course not. Not until we have the Cat here at least." Nuxnby said.
"But once we do and we have everyone we need then off with your heads!" Zilxize yells horrifying the two Wonderland residences and the FAFs.
"They're gonna kill them?!" The Female narrator panics.
"But why? Why would they want to do something so horrible?" The male narrator asks.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Xittyk smirks horrifying the narrators.
"You can hear us?" Brooke gasps.
"Yep and while we can't see you, you better watch out what you tell our other halves," Dexdima warns putting a finger to her lips.
Eyes widening Roxas, Kitty, and Maddie knew the narrators wouldn't be much help in this situation.
Watching the footage they saw the Mad Hatter and White Rabbit being dragged away to the dungeons.
"What's going on in there? This is mad even for us." Courtly asks
"Why would they want Alice?" Blondie asks.
"Alice was one of the Original Princesses of the Heart. They must be planning to check if she still has any of that light in her?" Roxas assumes.
"But then why are they after the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, and the Cheshire Cat? They're not linked to this are they?" Chase asks.
"The only thing linking them to this is they're different versions of our parents," Kitty said.
However, their train of thought was interrupted by a noise.
"Let go of me! Stop!" A female voice said making them gasp.
"Someone's coming," Alistair said.
"Quick hide," Lizzie said.
Looking around frantically they saw a small barred window for a lower area of the castle.
Quickly breaking the bars off, they quickly snuck in and closed it shut to avoid being spotted.
Peeking through it, they saw a figure in an Organization cloak dragging a young girl with long blonde hair, a black bow, a blue and white dress, and white stockings. This was Alice.
"That's Alice? She's so young." Bunny said surprised.
"She's younger than us," Kitty said as Alistair looked at her in disbelief. He always wanted to see what this version of Alice was like but not like this.
"Stop! Leave me alone!" Alice yells but the figure ignores her.
"Sorry Princess, but we need to test something first. So try to play nice." The figure said with a male voice.
As he dragged her into the castle, the FAFs sighed in relief.
"Phew, that was close," Meicoomon said.
"Where are we?" Chase asks as they look around to see they are in the dungeons and the entire floor is filled with cells.
"Who goes there?" A loud female voice said.
Turning around their eyes widen seeing the Queen of Hearts locked up in a cell along with the White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter.
"The Queen of Hearts." Courtly's eyes widen seeing her.
This one was different compared to Lizzie's mom, she had black hair and a much rounder figure, and while her face didn't have that same hint of madness Lizzie's mom had they could still see it.
"Why, it's a group of children." Queen of Hearts said.
"Yes ma'am and we've come—" Maddie starts.
"Look up!" She interrupts causing Maddie to jump back startled. "Take off your hat! Turn out your toes and curtsey!" Following her instructions Maddie takes off her hat and bows.
"Uh listen, ma'am." Chase starts.
"What are you doing just standing there?! Bow!" Queen of Hearts orders as Chase immediately bows in respect.
"Keep it down, we're trying to—" Blondie starts but she turns to them.
"What are the rest of you doing? Are all of you statues? You're in the presence of a queen! Bow! Curtsey!" Queen of Hearts orders as all the girls curtseyed and the boys bowed their mends. "And finally always answer every question with yes Your Majesty."
"Yes, Your Majesty." All of them said together.
Hearing this she smiled and sat down in her cell. "Good. Now who are you people?"
"We know them your majesty." From the next cell they saw the Mad Hatter and White Rabbit.
"They tried to save us." The White Rabbit said.
"Meaning they failed." The Queen of Hearts translated.
"Please your majesty, we just needed to ask you—" Blondie starts.
"I'll ask the questions!" The Queen of Hearts interrupts. "What are you going to do to get me out of here?"
"Well Your Majesty, we first need to find our way out of here and—" Chase starts.
"Your way?! Always follow my ways!" The Queen of Hearts interrupts again.
"Yes, of course. Sorry your majesty." Chase bows his Red Knight instincts kicking.
"This lady is really starting to bug me." Courtly whispers and everyone nods in agreement.
"I don't remember your mom being this mean." Gargomon mutters looking at Lizzie.
"Your majesty, we know how to get you all out, but we need you stop interrupting us and listen to what we have to say." Roxas said.
"Listen? You mean order?!" The Queen of Hearts assumes glaring at him. "Now you listen here—"
"No, you listen!" Lizzie interrupts surprising her.
Walking right up the cage, Lizzie grabs the Queen of Hearts by her dress and yanks her in close.
"You should be hanging off every word he's saying because unlike you Roxas knows what to do and more importantly knows when he can't do something on his own. That is more than we can say for a loud, annoying, bossy queen like you! So do us all a favor, stop acting like you know everything, keep your mouth shut, and do what we tell you or OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" Lizzie yells as her threat echoes through the dungeon surprising everyone and leaving the Queen of Hearts shuddering in fear.
"Um sorry." Queen of Hearts gulps. "Um continue."
"Whoa. I've seen Lizzie make that threat before but this one was so different." Brooke said.
"My hands are shaking." The female narrator said.
Smiling Roxas liked this supportive side of her.
"Alright, we need to split up. Maddie, Blondie, Courtly, and Kitty get everyone out of here. Things are about to get messy."
"You got it." Maddie nods.
"Alistair, I'll need you, Bunny, and Chase to get Alice away from them," Roxas said.
"Gladly." Alistair grins.
"And what about us?" Lizzie asks as she and Gargomon looked at Roxas.
"You and I are going to go deal with the Queen in charge and…I can't believe I'm about to say this. Off with her head." Roxas said making Lizzie grin widely.
"Those are the sweetest words I've ever heard," Lizzie said.
Summoning Snow Shock, Roxas taps the cell doors and they unlock instantly.
"A Keyblade Wielder? Just like that other boy who tried to rescue Alice." Queen of Hearts recalls remembering Sora.
"Yeah, yeah. Less talking more running." Courtly said shoving her down the hallway.
"You're enjoying this aren't you?" Kitty smirks.
"Most definitely." Courtly grins finally being able to boss the Queen of Hearts around.
As Courtly, Kitty, Maddie, Blondie, and Meicoomon led the prisoners out, Alistair, Bunny, and Chase ran up one flight of stairs while Roxas, Lizzie, and Gargomon went up the other.
When Alistair's group made it to one of the upper levels of the castle they looked up to see Alice on a balcony with Nuxnby and the cloaked Nobody.
With a glowing hand, the figure approached Alice and cupped her cheek so they could look her in the eyes.
"Well?" Nuxnuby asks.
"Nothing. She's not a Princess of the Heart anymore. We don't need her." The figure declares making the FAF trio pause realizing this.
While Alice seemed relieved by that thinking she was safe Wendigomon appeared behind her and grabbed her.
"What are you doing?! You said you don't need me." Alice panics confused.
"Yes, we don't need you. We only kept you to see if you would still be useful but since you're not a Princess the Organization has no use for you. Which means I can get rid of you." The figure said.
"What did I ever do to you?" Alice asks.
"You exist." Reaching up to his hood, the figure pulls it down, and to everyone's horror saw Alistair's face but with black, and silver highlights in his hair.
"No way." Alistair gasps.
"All 5 Nobodies are Wonderland Nobodies?!" Brooke gasps.
"No wonder they knew how to navigate this world so easily." The female narrator gasped.
Starilixa looked watched as Wendigomon carried Alice to the ledge and dangled her over.
"Ooh I love it when you act so cruel," Nuxnby said leaning against him. "This plan of yours was genius baby."
"What can I say? I know the best way to get results." Starlixa teases kissing Nuxnby making the originals freeze up.
Pausing Chase looked at them and they immediately looked away blushing.
"Guys snap out of it. We gotta move." Chase gestures.
Shaking their heads the two tried to fight back the blushes.
"Right." Alistair nods.
As Wendigomon lets go of Alice she screams in horror plummeting down. Grinning the two nobodies waited for the splat but to their confusion, the screaming stopped and there was no splat.
"What in the? Go look." Starilixa orders.
Wendigomon peeks down over the edge and seconds later Turuiemon leaped up and delivered a powerful uppercut knocking him back and creating a cloud of dust.
When it cleared the two nobodies saw Turuiemon, Digmon, and Sealsdramon who were holding Alice protectively.
"Wait if you two are here…" Nuxnby realized.
Turning around they saw Alistair with Fairy Champion in his hands, Bunny with her hoop, and Chase with his sword and shield.
"I wondered how long it would be until I finally met," Starilixa said glaring at Alistair.
"How could you do such a thing? If you are me then you know how important Wonderland is." Alistair said.
"I do, and it's pathetic," Starilixa said confusing them. "Why would I want to preserve a place that a weakling like you wasted years trying to save? Wonderland is worthless and we're gonna burn this whole world to the ground to prove it."
"You two aren't mad, you're insane," Chase said horrified.
"Just scratching the surface," Nuxnby said as metal platings appeared around her feet and Starilixa summons the Rejection of Fate keyblade. It had a short green handle with a black pommel, the guard was black and curved along the handle, and the blade was a jagged sword with two triangular blades that overlapped each other.
Leaping in, Starilixa slams his keyblade down but Chase blocks it with his shield allowing Alistair to rush in and ram into him knocking him.
"Sealdramon! Protect Alice!" Chase orders.
"Sir yes sir!" Sealdramon said leading Alice away from the battle.
Jumping Bunny threw her hoop at her nobody but Nuxnby deflected it with a kick.
Racing in, Chase caught it and threw it back to Bunny who caught it.
Swinging his sword, Chase forces Nuxnby on the defense, as she delivers a kick Chase ducks and swings upwards forcing her to fall back allowing Bunny to nail her with her hoop.
As Alistair and Starilixa clashed blades the Digimon saw he needed help but they still had to deal with Wendigmon.
"You go help Alistair. Big ugly is mine." Turuiemon said as Digmon joined the fight leaving the two rabbit Digimon to face off.
Growling Wendigimon glared Turuiemon down.
"You're going down." Turuiemon growls.
Charging in both rabbit Digimon threw back their arms and punched each other.
While the fight on the upper levels was going on, we saw Roxas, Gargomon, and Lizzie enter the throne room to see Zilxize sitting on her throne.
"Ooh, what do we have here?" Zilxize smirks looking at them.
"Off my throne clown. That seat is for a queen." Lizzie orders.
"Please. I'm more queen than you'll ever be. Although I could use a king. What do you say, Roxas? Interested?" Zilxize winks.
"Hard pass. Anyone who goes to these lengths is clearly not my type." Roxas said getting Lizzie's attention.
"You have a type?" Lizzie glances at him.
"Listen you can either get off it or we can knock you off it," Gargomon said aiming an arm at her however Zilxize was unfazed.
Upon firing something swooped in and slashed the bullets in half.
"Did you really think I would be all by myself? I have a new ally and one who shares my interest in decapitation." Zilxize smirks standing up.
As she walks down the steps, we see a reaper-like Digimon appear alongside her. It had a red cloak on its head and shadowy body, a golden scythe in one arm and a ball and chain in the other.
"What is that?" Lizzie gasps.
"It's Phantomon!" Gargomon gasps.
"Let's finish this once and for all Lizzie," Zilxize said taking out her own deck of cards. "But don't worry Roxas maybe I'll keep you alive a little longer."
"Not a chance!" Summoning Snow Shock and No Rest for the Wicked he charged in as Phantomon flew in.
Swinging its scythe, Phantomon met Roxas' attack head-on.
"Shadow Scythe!" With darkness surrounding the scythe, Phantomon swings it but Roxas blocks it with one and slashes it with the other knocking it back.
Firing a barrage of bullets at Zilxize she raised a giant card to deflect it.
"Right back at you!" She yells making a second card and the bullets fly at Gargomon and Lizzie.
"Lizzie!" Grabbing her, Gargomon pushes forward protecting Lizzie like a human shield.
"Gargomon." Lizzie gasped as Gargomon cringed in pain.
"I'm fine really." Gargomon cringed.
"You are so pathetic. Your own Digimon has to protect you. And it's no wonder you're scared to tell him." Zilxize mocks.
"Shut up. I'm not scared." Lizzie snaps.
"Yes, you are. You act all mean and scary but the truth is the daughter of the Queen of Hearts is just a scared little girl who just wants to be accepted." Zilxize mocks before spitting to the ground. "It's pathetic."
"The only pathetic thing about me is you!" Taking out two cards Lizzie hurls fire and wind magic at her blasting Zilxize in the chest.
Skidding back, Zilxize was about to counter when a keyblade flew in and nailed her.
As she falls back, Lizzie looks over to Roxas who caught his keyblade.
"Don't let her get in your head, Lizzie," Roxas said as she nodded in understanding.
Finally, we see Maddie, Courtly, Blondie, Kitty, and Meicoomon leading everyone out through the Croquet yard.
"Okay we make it through here and you're all home free," Blondie said when suddenly Golemon burst out of the ground in front of them but he wasn't alone.
Laughing manically they see Dexidma holding her sides.
"You should see the look on your faces. You really thought we'd let you leave?" Dexdima mocks.
"How do you know?" Maddie asks when Xittyk reappears behind them.
"This cat was watching you for quite some time." She smirks making Kitty hiss.
"You wanna pick a catfight with us?" Meicoomon growls.
"Why not? After all, I got a cat too." Xittyk said as from behind her Gatomon emerged but unlike Namine's Gatomon this one's fur was black.
"BlackGatomon." Meicoomon gasps.
"Now it's a real catfight," Xittyk said summoning her hook swords to make a grin.
"You call that a grin?" Kitty said showing her tonfas to make a grin.
As the 2 cat girls and Digimon attacked they clashed weapons.
Spinning around Kitty swings low knocking Xittyk off her feet.
Dropping to the ground Xittyk looks up to see Kitty swing her arm but rolls out of the way dodging the attacking. Spinning on her hands Xittyk kicks Kitty in the face knocking her back.
"X Scratch!"
"Lighting Paw!" Swinging her arm BlackGatomon punches Meicoomon in the face knocking her into Kitty and making them fall back.
As both cats were about to attack lasers fired hitting them both.
"Mind if cut in?" Blondie smirks joining up with them.
"Hey, butt out. This is our fight." Xittyk glares.
"Correction was your fight. Meicoomon wanted the cat fight not Kitty." Blondie counters using her reporter smart talk making Kitty grin.
"I love the way you think Blondie," Kitty said as Blondie's camera droids flew in above them.
Across from them, the citizens of Wonderland run into the hedges for cover while Golemon swings it giant arms to crush Maddie but she cartwheels out of the way.
Reaching into her hat, Maddie takes out bouncing shoes and slips them on.
Bouncing up and down Maddie started to gain speed to the point she activated Flowmotion.
"Whoo! Incoming!" Bouncing around with amazing speed, Maddie rams into Dexdima knocking her to the ground.
As she crashes, Dexdima sees Maddie land in front of her.
"You should see the look on your face." Maddie counters when Dexidma sees Golemon about to attack Maddie from behind.
Raising its arm it was about to crush her when suddenly two glowing spheres crashed into it.
"Hey, I'm the only party crasher big guy," Courtly smirked as Golemon turned its sights on her.
Spinning her staff, Courtly summons all 12 glowing balls. "If this blows up in my face I am gonna give that Moogle a piece of my mind."
"Sulfer Plume!" Golemon releases its breath attack and using 4 spheres, Courtly uses them like a shield to deflect it.
"Wanna play a little croquet?" Swinging her mallet she whacks the balls sending them flying across the field and hitting Golemon multiple times before sending it crashing to the ground.
Before it could react the remaining 8 piled on top of it crushing the Digimon under them.
"That oughta take care of him," Courtly smirks when a small toy car races towards him. "Huh?"
Looking down at it, the toy car exploded sending her tumbling backwards
"Courtly?!" Maddie gasps while Dexdima laughs. "That's not funny."
"Yes, it. It's always funny when it's at someone's expense." Dexdima said as Maddie helped Courtly up. "Since when does the Mad Hatter apologize for messing with someone?"
"Listen, I may mess around with people but I never will knowingly do a joke that hurts or scares people. I make people smile, but you don't. And that's why you have to be stopped." Maddie said before glancing at Courtly. "Wanna be my plus one to this party?"
"Gladly." Courtly growls.
Reaching into her hat, Dexdima pulls out a big scary club and lets out a mad battlecry before charging in.
Dodging and bouncing out of the way, Maddie and Courtly narrowly avoid all the attacks.
Whacking her spheres, they flew to Dexdima but she whacked the spheres like they were baseballs sending them flying back.
"Constellation Drive: Tucana!" Maddie calls out as her outfit glows just as the spheres collide with them creating an explosion.
Grinning Dexdima thought it was too late for them but as the smoke cleared she saw something had deflected the attack.
They were two large feathery wings.
As the wings pulled back we saw Maddie in a black outfit with red, blue, and orange highlights. Her hat had grown to the size of the Mad Hatter's hat with big feather wings that shielded them from the attack, and in her arms, Maddie had a mini cannon with toucan beak missiles loaded into it.
"What did you think of my Wing Barrier?" Maddie said tipping her hat.
"Feathers from your hat that can deflect my spheres. Now that's madness." Courtly smiles amused.
"Oh please it's not that mad." Dexdima scoffs.
"No but the look on your face is priceless," Maddie said aiming her TouCannon at her. "Ready Courtly?"
As all 12 spheres began spinning rapidly Courtly nodded.
"Piercing Madness!" Both yelled as they hurled their attacks.
Reaching her hat, Dexdima dug around for something, anything that could deflect all this. But when she pulled something out all she saw was a white flag.
"Guess I'm out of material." Dexdima chuckles amused as the attacks hit her dead center.
As she fell to the ground, Maddie approached her Nobody.
"Guess you got the last laugh this time." Dexdima chokes.
"All you thought about was hurting people and driving them mad that type of humor goes away fast. But if you try to make people laugh and smile that humor never will go away." Maddie smirks as Dexdima turns into golden sphere and enters Maddie.
"Well played Hatter. Well played." Dexdima said before disappearing.
Across from them, separated from a large hedge, we see BlackGatomon and Meicoomon running atop the hedges attacking each other with their claws.
"Lightning Kick!" Delivering a powerful kick BlackGatomon nails Meicoomon in the sides making the cat cringe in pain before hitting her again knocking her off the hedge.
But just as BlackGatomon was about to pursue several drones came in and fired lasers making her fall off the opposite side.
In an opening, we see Blondie forced to find cover while Kitty looks around for any sign of Xittyk.
"What's the matter? Can't find me again?" Xittyk mocks.
"Why don't you stop hiding and come out so we can settle this?" Kitty calls out when she hears a noise.
Turning around a hook sword flew at her forcing Kitty to block it.
However, that left her open to Xittyk's sneak attack who slashed her from the side.
"Aww didn't see me coming?" Xittyk smirks.
As Kitty slashes at her, Xittyk jumps back dodging.
'I need to slow her down, but Blondie's too busy helping Meicoomon. I'd need a miracle to catch this cat.' Kitty thought before getting an idea.
Reaching into her pocket, Kitty pulls out a charm with a cat paw logo on it and clenches her fist activating it.
"Too slow." Racing in, Xittyk was about to deliver another attack when suddenly a tube shot out and wrapped around her trapping her.
"Aw didn't see that coming?" Kitty counters.
"What is this? You can't do a move like this." Xittyk asks struggling to break free.
"You're right. I can't but I had a friend who can." Kitty said looking atop the hedge to see Milliana using her Cat Tube magic to tie her up.
"Looks like we got ourselves a little cat fight huh?" Milliana grins.
Swinging her arm, Xittyk is hurled towards Kitty who delivers a powerful kick to the gut sending her flying back crashing through a few hedges before landing in a clearing.
Slow to get up, Xittyk saw both Kitty and Milliana land across from her.
"So what's the deal with the evil twin?" Milliana asks.
"Long story short, not a twin, very bad, and if we don't beat her lots of people are in danger." Kitty summarizes.
"Good enough for me," Milliana said as both took fighting stances.
Attaching one hook sword to the end of another, Xittyk swings them both together doubling her range.
"We're not scared of that," Kitty said.
"No? Then how about a blade you can't see?" Xittyk grinned as her swords turned invisible just like she could.
"What?!" Milliana gasped as Xittyk went on the attack.
Swinging her invisible weapons, Xittyk knocks both cat girls back delivering powerful slashes.
Running out of the hedges, Blondie saw the fights going on. Looking to the Digimon and then to them, Blondie held up her Mirrorpad to show Xittyk was moving her weapon too fast for her droids to keep up.
"Face it Kitty you lose. You'd need a miracle to pull off a win and unfortunately for you, the Cheshire Cat doesn't make Miracles happen. They can't even give a straight answer." Xittyk mocks. "You ruin miracles. Just like when your mom messed with the Storybook Legends. You did nothing but sit there and let her take what people thought was a miracle and crush it for all of them to see.
Hearing this Kitty couldn't help but take that one personally.
"Yeah, I did let my mom ruin that Miracle. But when I saw what it was doing to everyone I chose to take a stand. And you know? That's the thing about being on this team. We do things that many people could only call Miracles because they never try hard enough. And yeah I like taking the easy way out of things or even just letting others do the heavy lifting. But sometimes, even cats can pull off Miracles on their own!" Kitty declares as she begins to glow.
As a bright light engulfs Meicoomon we see the crest of Miracles appear.
"Meicoomon digivolve to…Meicrackmon!" Eyes widening everyone saw a large cat Digimon with a female human appearance, a long-braided tail with a dark stinger at the end, red claws that retracted into its gauntlets, black armor on its shoulder, chest, arms, thighs, and feet, and two long scarf-like appendages.
"Meow." BlackGatomon whimpers seeing how it was outsized and outmatched.
Wrapping it up in its appendages, Meicrackmon yanks BlackGatomon in and with one punch sends BlackGatomon back into its digivice.
"No!" Xittyk gasped seeing she had no backup.
"Kitten Blast!" Milliana yells releasing several restraining tubes that blasted Xittyk forcing her back.
Aiming her drones, Blondie opened fires hitting her a few more times.
"Enough!" Swinging her hooks, Xittyk knocks the drones away but when she does she notices Kitty is gone. "Wait where did she—" Before she could finish Kitty reappeared behind her with her signature Cheshire grin. "How did you?"
"What? Didn't see me coming? I guess you're no longer the sneaky cat anymore." Kitty declares before delivering a powerful slash across the chest causing Xittyk to drop to her knees.
"How…how did you sneak past me?" Xittyk groans weakly.
"Because I learned my mistakes. Something I never bothered to think about before. Guess cats really can learn new tricks if they want it badly enough." Kitty said looking up at Meicrackmon. "We're proof of that."
"Hmph. Fooled me with a trick no one ever saw coming. Well played." Xittyk said disappearing into golden spheres and entering Kitty.
"Phew, that finisher was just right," Blondie said walking over.
"Yeah way to go, Kitty." Milliana smiles.
"Thanks guys," Kitty said before glancing at Milliana. "So any chance I can count on you later?"
"Absolutely. We gotta stick together." Milliana smiled before the summon wore off and she was sent back to Fiore.
Back with Roxas and Lizzie, the two of them were surrounded as Zilxize summoned dozens of cards, and all of them were aimed at them.
Firing multiple dark blasts, Lizzie raised her cards to make a barrier around them to deflect the attacks but the overwhelming force was too much resulting in a giant explosion.
Tumbling across the throne room, Roxas was slow to get up.
"Curaga!" Roxas said casing the spell to heal his injuries but Lizzie wasn't so fortunate.
As most of her deck lay scattered around the floor, Lizzie saw she only had 1 card in her hand.
Reaching out she tried to grab one when Phantomon appeared in front of her with his scythe right near her head.
Freezing, Lizzie was terrified of what was about to happen.
"Lizzie!" Roxas and Gargomon gasp.
They were about to move in when Zilxize intervened.
"Hold it!" She ordered. "One false move and you know what will happen."
Growling both were unsure how to get her out of this.
"Look at you. So worthless. You have no cards, no chance, no help. Face it, Lizzie, it's your destiny to be hated, to be alone. The truth is when Phantomon chops your head off no one will even care because no one likes the Queen of Hearts." Zilxize declares.
"Don't listen to her, Lizzie! You're not like that! You've changed!" Roxas calls out.
Looking at her, Gargomon knew unless he could get a good shot it would be off with Lizzie's head.
Tightening her hold on her last cards, Lizzie turned her gaze to Zilxize.
"Let me tell you something about Destiny. Destiny isn't the path you're stuck on. It's a path you make yourself. Do you think if you destroy your link to Wonderland you're removing yourself from destiny? Hardly. You're not Mad. You're not even a Queen. You're just pathetic. If I like don't like my destiny I'll change it! Right here right now! By taking you down!" Lizzie roared as she began to glow and the crest of Destiny appeared a bright light engulfed Gargomon and a green light raced toward Phantomon.
"Gargomon digivolve to…Rapidmon!" In front of Phantomon, we see a green cyborg-like Digimon with green armor over its white skin, a horned helmet on its head, a launcher on its back, and large ears that resemble wings.
"I'd like to see you chop her head off now," Rapidmon said aiming its arm at him. "Rapid Fire!"
Firing homing missiles, Phantomon was blasted away from Lizzie allowing her to escape from the line of fire.
"You can't chop if you can't get close." Roxas smirks as Phantomon crashes near Zilxize.
"Tri-Beam!" Creating a golden triangle Rapidmon fires a powerful glowing beam that destroys Phantomon and the resulting shockwave knocks Zilxize back.
"Roxas!" Lizzie yells as he runs alongside her. "Give me an opening."
"You got it." Roxas nods.
As the smoke clears, Zilxze looks to see Roxas leap through the smoke.
"Oh no you don't!" Summoning a giant card, she used it as a shield to block his attack but it wasn't enough to stop Roxas as he slashed lashes through the shield making her gasp. "No way!"
"Way!" Roxas yells slashing both her arms knocking the cards out of her hands and leaving her wide open.
Using her last card, Lizzie attaches it to her arm blade causing it to burst into light.
"Zilxze, I've been wanting to say this since the moment I met you!" Lizzie yells sprinting in.
As she got closer and closer, Zilxze's eyes widened in horror at what she was about to do.
"Off with your head!" Lizzie yells swinging her blade and delivering a powerful light slash to Zilxze's neck area before they are engulfed in light.
When the light died down, Roxas looked to see the remains of Zilxize's body turning into balls of golden light that entered Lizzie's body.
Panting heavily, Lizzie turned to Roxas and Rappidmon who had relieved smiles on their faces.
"I don't want to be scared anymore." Lizzie declares before slowly walking towards Roxas only to lean against him exhausted.
"Lizzie." Roxas gasps.
"Just let me stay like this a little longer," Lizzie said resting against him.
As Rapidmon turns back into Terriermon, Roxas sighs knowing she is probably worn out.
"Okay but only for a few minutes," Roxas said as she sighed snuggling close.
Finally, up with Chase, Bunny, and Alistair, the final fights were getting intense.
"Gold Rush!" Digmon said firing a barrage of drills at Starilixa who swings his keyblade slashing all of them away with ease.
"Fire Raid!" As Alistair throws his keyblade, flames erupt around it before it smacks into Starilixa.
Cringing in pain, Starilixa smacks Alistair's keyblade away sending it back into his hands.
"You really thought a lame move like that could stop me? No wonder you're the Weakest Keyblade Wielder on your team." Starilixia said.
"Excuse me?" Alistair glares.
"Don't listen to him Alistair, you're twice the wielder he is." Digmon assures.
"Why not? I know this guy better than you and I for one and disgusted by that." Starilixa said coating his keyblade in darkness as he dashed forward Alistair guarded against it but was pushed back towards the edge.
"Alistair!" Bunny gasps seeing this.
"Hey! Focus on what's in front of you!" Nuxnby said using this chance to deliver a fierce kick to the stomach knocking the wind out of Bunny.
As she tumbles to the ground Nuxnby jumps in with a dive kick but at the last second Chase deflects it and slashes at her side making her cringe in pain.
"Take this!" Ramming into Chase knocks Nuxnby off the edge but as she plummets she does flowmotion off a flagpole and spins back up kicking Chase sending him flying back.
Just as she lands, Bunny throws her hoop which wraps around Nuxnby's arm allowing her to yank her in forcing the two into a lock.
"Why don't you do us a favor and just give up? It's not like you were doing anything with your life." Nuxnby said.
"Why would I take your word for it?" Bunny growls.
"Because unlike you I'm not afraid to show the man in my life how much he means to me," Nuxnby said hitting Bunny right in the feels.
And by using this opening she hit Bunny right in the stomach.
"You've spent years standing alongside that fool and you never once told him how you felt. Trying to solve the Wonderland Curse, that whole stupid FAF thing you do and nothing. Not even one kiss. I've been around for a fraction of your time and I've done more with it than you ever will. Wendigomon!" Nuxnby calls out.
"Koko Crusher!" Wendigomon yells.
Looking up Bunny saw the giant Digimon leap in about to crush her when Turuiemon races in.
"Ninja Fist!" Delivering a powerful and fast punch, Turuiemon knocks Wendigmon on the chin knocking it back and allowing her to help Bunny.
As Wendigomon got up it found itself staring down Chase.
"Come and get it you monster." Chase glares.
Roaring Wendigomon swings its arms at him, but Chase narrowly ducks under it before charging in.
Swinging his sword, Chase slashes it in the sides making Wendigmon cringe.
Dropping to a knee, Chase slashes the other side before delivering an epic strike knocking Wendigimon off the balcony but unlike its summoner, it didn't know Flowmotion.
"Bunny come on. Get up. You gotta fight back." Turuiemon said helping her up.
"But the things she said. Am I really that—" Bunny starts.
"Don't you dare finish that sentence!" Turuiemon interrupts. "So what if you never asked Alistair out? You like him don't you?"
"Well yes." Bunny admits.
"Then focus on your feelings for him later. That's enough for right now. Romance isn't a race. Everyone has a different way of doing this. This girl just wants to grab a boy's face and kiss him. You're better than that." Turuiemon said.
Hearing this Bunny chuckles softly having snapped out of it.
"Now show this fake who the real Best Rabbit is," Turuiemon said as Bunny nodded.
"Hey Nuxnby!" Bunny calls out getting her attention. "When you and Starilixa were making out. You reeked of desperation."
"What?!" She growls as Bunny readied her hoop.
Charging in, Nuxnby swings her legs at Bunny who after stopping in her tracks takes the hit causing her to cringe in pain.
Grinning Nuxnby swings her other foot up but just as she is about to bring it down, Bunny throws her hoop in causing it to wrap around Nuxnby's leg.
With her trapped, Bunny pulls with all her might slamming Nuxnby to the ground.
"That's it, Bunny!" Chase grins running over.
Using Flowmotion for momentum, Bunny spins Nuxnby around and around before throwing her towards Chase who slashes at her sending her flying towards Tururiemon.
Gasping, Nuxnby finds herself impaled by the blades on Turuiemon's arms.
"You think you're so great, but Bunny is better than you'll ever be." Turuiemon declares.
Walking up to them, Bunny saw her begin to turn into balls of light.
"You're right. I am scared of rejection. Because Alistair and I have been such a great team I was worried that if I told him it would ruin what we have. But I'm not going to use that as an excuse anymore." Bunny declares.
"Well if he's anything like my man. You will not regret it." Nuxnby smirks before disappearing.
Near the ledge of the balcony on the opposite end, swinging his keyblade Starilixa released the two jagged triangles that flew out slashing Alistair and Digmon multiple times before reattaching to his keyblade.
Thrusting forward energy surrounded Starilixa as he rammed into Digmon knocking him to the opposite end before making his way towards Alistair.
Raising his keyblade, Alistair tried to block it but Starilixa was ruthless keeping up his fury attacks before nailing a powerful strike knocking him to the point he was inches from stepping over.
Cringing, Alistair briefly looks down before turning back to face his Nobody.
"Look at yourself. You got your butt kicked by two Dragon Slayers, your friends helped reverse the Wonderland Curse and get the REAL storybook of legends back, you have the least amount of keyblades of all your teammates, and you can't even tell the girl you're head over heels for how you feel. You can't do anything. The Keyblade is wasted on you." Starilixa said.
As Starilixa approached him, Alistair noticed the darkness reflecting off Rejection of Fate resemble the scales of the Jabberwocky.
It was then that Alistair remembered. He unlocked his keyblade because he wanted to stop the Jabberwocky, he unlocked his dual wield the only other person besides Roxas to do so when he wanted his team to win, and it was thanks to his help that Roxas and Raven undid the Wonderland Curse.
"But don't worry, I'll take good care of Bunny," Starilixa said making something snap in him.
"You're not laying a finger on her!" Alistair snaps swinging his keyblade upwards just as a bright light starts to surround him, sending Starilixa back towards the edge.
"Sure I may be weak and may not be the best Keyblade wielder but believe me when I say that's not going to stop me from fighting with everything I have! I helped save my Wonderland and I'll save this one! Save my friends but more than anything I'm gonna take you down!" Alistair roars as the light engulfs him.
When the light dies down they all looked in awe to see Alistair wearing a dark blue and yellow keyblade armor with black clubs and spades and red diamonds and hearts on the plates. On his head a helmet that had two prongs sticking out almost like horns.
"Oh he is going down now." Brooke grins.
"I don't believe this. You can't have that, you're a weakling." Starilixa said in disbelief.
"Not anymore." Alistair declares summoning Fairy Champion in his other hand. "Digimon do it!"
"Rock Cracking!" Stabbing his drills into the ground Digimon shatters the ledge they were on causing the two of them to plummet.
Clashing weapons the two keyblade wielders struggled to overpower the other.
As Starilixa thrusts forward, Alistair spins out of the way and moves in.
Swinging his keyblades he knocks it out of Starilixa's hands and slashes him with a fatal blow just before the balcony crashes to the ground.
Gasping Bunny, Chase, and the Digimon ran to the edge wondering what had happened when something shot up past them.
Flying up, we see Alistair riding a glider that resembled a scooter with wings that looked like two halves of a cup and a head in the front that looked like the Jabberwocky.
Laying in front of him, Alistair saw Starilixa was defeated.
"I better not be the last time you ever win," Starilixia said turning into golden spheres that entered Alistair.
"Not a chance. I'm gonna get strong enough to point I'm one of the best." Alistair vows.
"We'll see," Starilixa said before disappearing.
"Alistair." Bunny smiles as he lands in front of her and takes off his helmet.
Running to him, overjoyed Bunny gave him a big hug.
"Bunny we did it." Alistair smiles. "We saved Wonderland."
"Like there was ever any doubt." Bunny smiles.
"Listen, Bunny, I just want to say when our Nobodies…you know. I mean I-I really like you and I don't want you to think that I would just do what they did but—" Before Alistair could finish Bunny put a finger to his lip.
"I know you wouldn't and I've had those feelings for a while too," Bunny admits with a small blush.
"Well then…maybe when we get back to EAH would you like to join me for a game of chess?" Alistair asks.
"It's a date," Bunny said giving him a small peck on the lips.
Seeing this Chase smirks. "Feels like I've been waiting forever for that."
"You and me both Chase. You and me both." Brooke giggles.
With all the Nobodies beaten, the three groups reunited in the throne room to show they had all beaten the Nobodies.
And all the Wonderland citizens were thrilled to have their home safe and sound.
As Alistair's hand glowed a keyblade appeared. It was white with the blade being the Vorpal Blade like the one his mom had with a spade acting as the teeth, the guard was a deck of cards, the handle was Alice's colors, with gold lines around it, the chain was red crowns and the keychain was the symbol of Wonderland. (Google Superherotimefan Infinite Wonder)
"A new Wonderland Keyblade." Bunny said in awe.
"It suits you. Along with your new armor." Roxas said.
"What are you gonna call it?" Courtly asks as Alistair looks at it.
"Infinite Wonder." Alistair declares.
"I like it." Chase smiles.
"Me too," Kitty said.
"Oh thank you all so much. For everything." Alice said walking over to them.
"Happy to help Alice," Alistair said.
"I was worried I was going to get taken again but then they said it wasn't me this time," Alice said getting their attention.
"Well luckily we got you away before they could do anything else," Alistair said.
"Yeah you might want to be more careful," Kitty said.
"I will." Alice nods.
"Thank you all for saving us! As thanks I would like to invite you all to my Un-birthday party tomorrow." The Mad Hatter said.
"Ooh, it's my un-birthday tomorrow too." The White Rabbit smiles.
"Mine too." Alice giggles.
"What a world." The Mad Hatter laughs.
"We'd love to but we gotta go," Maddie said.
"Well in that case." Taking off his hat the Mad Hatter reaches inside and pulls out a teapot. "For the road."
"Ooh I like this one." Maddie smiles taking the teapot.
As the people of Wonderland were happy to have the castle back, Lizzie noticed the Queen of Hearts in the back.
"You know I thought out of everyone you would be the happiest to get your castle back," Lizzie said.
"I don't get it. I've ruled this way for so long and yet lately everyone has a problem with it or they don't care what I think anymore." Queen of Hearts said.
"Just because you're the Queen doesn't always mean the way you think is the best way. Trust me I know." Lizzie said.
"So what do I do?" Queen of Hearts asks when Lizzie recalls something Briar once told her.
"You know being a Royal doesn't always mean we have to do things exactly the same as they've always been. A friend once told me the details are up to us. But if you need help. I do have these." Reaching into the bag, Lizzie pulls out a large deck of cards. "A Daily Deck of Instructions. Maybe these can help you."
Taking the deck, the Queen of Hearts read one only to see new words were taped on and the old ones are rearranged. "Never yell at friends, they are not subjects." She read aloud before looking at the next one. "Rule the way that's best for everyone."
"Never hurts to try something new. Besides if you do maybe they'll invite you for tea." Lizzie suggests.
"I guess I can give it a try once." The Queen of Hearts shrugs.
As they made their way back to the Tempest they arrived back in the waiting room and when they changed back to normal size, Blondie noticed Alistair and Bunny holding hands and smiled deciding to take a small picture.
"I knew I'd figure out this whole Digimon thing sooner or later," Kitty said with her hands behind her head.
"I can't wait to make tea with this bad boy," Maddie said holding up her new teapot.
"I call the first cup," Courtly said with Chase right behind her.
As Kitty made her way out, she saw the Cheshire Cat sitting a in tree not to far away.
Smiling Kitty waves goodbye and the cat smiles waving his tail before disappearing.
As Roxas and Lizzie are about to enter, he stops her for a second.
"Hey Lizzie, I just want to say thanks for all the support you gave me earlier," Roxas said.
"It was no trouble at all really," Lizzie said.
"Well, it means a lot to me. You know when I saw the Queen of Hearts down there, it's weird she kinda reminded me of you when we first met. So angry, never trusting anyone, quick to scare." Roxas lists making Lizzie uncomfortable.
"Yeah I get it, I was pretty awful," Lizzie said.
"But that's the thing though. You're not awful. At least not anymore. Now you're pretty amazing. You're strong, you care about others, and a decent dragon rider. I like the Lizzie I've got now." Roxas smiles.
Hearing this Lizzie's heart skipped a beat. She had to do this now.
"I'm like this because I had help. I had my friends and…I had you." Lizzie said taking his hand. "Roxas I-I—" Grabbing him Lizzie yanks him so his lips were pressed against hers surprising him.
After a few seconds, they separate making Roxas blush.
"L-Lizzie?" Roxas said speechless.
"Roxas…I-I love you," Lizzie confesses. "I think you're cool and sweet and more than that you help me become a better person. But I wasn't sure how to tell you because I thought you still thought of me as that mean girl who would threaten you all the time."
"I mean you do kinda say off with your head to me a lot," Roxas admits.
"I've never had a crush on anyone before. I didn't know how to react, but I want you to know how much you mean to me." Lizzie said.
"Lizzie," Roxas said approaching her.
"You won my heart, now I want the chance to win yours," Lizzie said taking his hands.
"I wouldn't say no to this relationship I mean. You and I do have some good times." Roxas said making her smile. "Although, I'm not sure how we break this situation to your mom."
"We can work that out later. She doesn't need to know right away. Besides, if you're open to it I wouldn't mind a date when we get home." Lizzie suggests.
"I guess that could work," Roxas said as Lizzie made her way in.
Watching her Roxas felt his heart racing as he put a hand over it.
'I can't believe it. Lizzie was the 13th piece.' Roxas smiles making his way onto the Tempest as it took off into space leaving Wonderland and all its madness behind them.
"And so, having saved another Wonderland, it seems Roxas's new hearts have come full circle." The Male Narrator said.
"And all is well, as it should be." The Female Narrator said. "Friends together, happily ever–"
"Wait, what's that?" Brooke interrupts.
Watching the Tempest travel, a darkness formed. It turned into a robot-like Heartless before suddenly transforming into a ship and flying after them with cannons aimed.
"Save some Sea Salt for me." Roxas said back on the Tempest.
"Incoming!" Brooke warned.
"What?" Roxas asked before the whole ship shook.
"What happened?!" Lea asked.
"What was that?!" Daring asks equally shaken
"We're under attack!" Dexter warned running from the cockpit.
"By who?" Apple asked before seeing the mechanical Heartless.
Everyone looked in horror to see a Heartless that had several cannons on it with a large cannon on the front. (Google 2007 Megatron Jet)
"On the guns, now!" Roxas ordered.
The Heartless engaged its thrusters and pulled back, now behind the Tempest. Rin ran to the guns and fired back, but it transformed into a robot and blasted the turrets before transforming back.
"I think I spoke too soon!" Brooke panicked.
"Shields up!" Raven ordered.
"Not responding!" Ginger yelled.
The Heartless transformed back and charged up its cannons. Everyone ran for protection before it fired at them, causing explosions across the whole ship.
"We're losing power!" Dexter yelled before getting thrown back.
A portal opened ahead, where the Tempest flew through. As Roxas tried to gain control, he could see what looked like Ever After High before getting thrown back as the Tempest crashed into the ground.
"Unidentified vessel, respond." A voice said from the communications terminal.
Roxas didn't have the strength to respond, feeling everything go dark as the others drifted into unconsciousness.
"Please respond. Do you require assistance?"
Soon, Roxas drifted off as calls for response continued to come through.
A while later, lights flashed through the Tempest as two people made their way in.
"Check for survivors." A voice said.
"Wait." A voice similar to Raven's said as she approached the unconscious Raven Queen. She turned her over, her right hand with a device on it, before gasping. Panning out we see the one to notice Raven Queen… was another Raven Queen.
"Who are these?"
