(White Rabbit's Domain)

*January 16th, 1907*

*Rabbit Domain*

Betsy and Flynn walked across the labyrinth hallway as they observed many doors, hoping that one of them would lead to Keiko.

"So, do you know the way out of here? If it's like that story you've read, then surely you must know a way out." Flynn asked Betsy in a curious voice as he walked across the hallway alongside her.

Unfortunately, Betsy shook her head with uncertainty as she leaned against one of the doors.

"I'm not sure and don't quote me, but, I believe we must drink something that could make us small, it's like in the story but I'm unsure if it's going to be effective.." Betsy responded while Flynn nodded understandably, observing his surroundings.

"I see. Let's try to find a way out of here.." Flynn responded as he and Betsy continued to walk across the hallway.

The sounds of their footsteps filled the hallway as Flynn and Betsy continued to walk the hallway before stumbling upon two small bottles with a note attached, catching their attention.

"These must be the bottles. It says drink me but I wouldn't listen to it. It might be poison." Flynn spoke to Betsy while gently looking at the bottle, observing the pink liquid.

"You're right but we need to save Keiko, and besides, my gut is telling me to drink it and I always tend to listen to my instincts.." Betsy responded with determination in her voice while Flynn stared at her before looking back at the bottle.

A few things came into Flynn's mind such as them turning small like Betsy described, next, he thought about Keiko's current state which made him motivated to drink the potion.

"If it's like what you've described then I guess we'll play along with his little game.." Flynn spoke to Betsy once more as he took the bottle to drink it.

Immediately, Flynn grew much smaller in size as this surprised him greatly while looking up at the larger Betsy.

Everything was now bigger in the eyes of Flynn as his expression was a surprising one.

"I-I'm small b-but I can see a small keyhole so this means the exit should be here, now it's up to you Betsy." Flynn uttered to Betsy in surprise before taking a moment to observe his surroundings while he waited for Betsy.

Soon after, Betsy nodded as she picked up the second bottle and drank the potion thus turning her small like Flynn.

Almost immediately, Betsy felt herself shrinking until she was the same size as Flynn.

"W-Whoa. I feel lightheaded. This stuff packs a punch." Betsy uttered while rubbing her head as she took a moment to look at the larger hallway.

"Yeah, I'm never drinking that stuff again, but let's get moving on. We only have one hour to save Keiko so we need to move quickly." Flynn responded before walking toward the small keyhole while Betsy followed him.

The pair began to walk across the keyhole in hopes of finding White Rabbit and along the way, they stumbled upon a large stream of water.

The new area was a stream of water along with plenty of small boxes floating across the stream and due to Flynn and Betsy's new size, the small boxes appeared large.

"Alright, I'm assuming we should jump on one of these boxes and let the water carry us to our next destination." Flynn spoke to Betsy while he was met with her nodding understandably.

"You're right. grab my hand, and let's jump on the next box that comes our way." Betsy responded in a calm voice before gently grabbing Flynn's hand, waiting for the next box.

A few seconds passed as Flynn and Betsy waited for the next box to arrive and finally, their moment of opportunity arrived.

"Now!" Betsy cried out to Flynn, ready to jump on the box.

She and Flynn jumped from where they were standing and they landed on the box successfully, the current pushing them forward.

"We made it. This should take us to our destination." Flynn spoke to Betsy while he rested against the interiors of the box.

Betsy did the same thing as she rested against the walls of the box as well.

"Betsy, if my assumptions are correct, then I believe this could be White Rabbit's domain.." Flynn spoke to Betsy while he looked at her.

Of course, Betsy was intrigued by what she heard as she sat up to face Flynn, eager to know more.

"Domain? Care to explain. I don't know much about them." Betsy asked Flynn with curiosity in her voice as she awaited her answer.

"In short, a domain is a small pocket dimension where a sword user can enter and to create one, you must have a strong connection to a certain place that you enjoy." Flynn explained to Betsy as he continued to explain everything.

"Since White Rabbit is a creation of Alice, you could say that he can summon one without a sword; however, we still need to be on guard since he's at his strongest during his domain. In short, he controls everything.." Flynn finished explaining to Betsy while the girl nodded, slowly piecing together what she heard.

"I see. It seems we're dealing with a tough opponent indeed.." Betsy responded while she carefully stood up to check where they were currently at.

To Betsy's relief, she could find the next destination; however, this would turn into a surprise as the scenery would slowly change.

The once quiet hallway became a misty forest filled with swamps and critters and this made Betsy and Flynn on guard.

"The area has changed. Now it's a misty swamp, it's best to stay on guard.." Flynn advised Betsy while he gently got off the box to proceed in walking toward the swamp.

This was followed by Betsy nodding as Flynn helped her get off the box and onto the land.

"Right, thanks." Betsy responded as she and Flynn proceeded to walk across the misty swamp.

The pair continued to walk across the swamp while also being on their guard for whatever was coming their way.

"I feel a presence!" Flynn thought to himself with a serious expression as he quickly pulled out his sword to swing it in the direction of the noise.

Once Flynn swung his sword in the direction of the noise, five animals appeared from the shadows as they fell to the ground and their presence surprised Betsy.

The five animals were a Mouse, a Dodo, a Lory, an Eaglet, and a Duck, all belonging to the Pool of Tears Party from the classic tale.

"Tell us where the rabbit's house is?! Answer me!" Flynn ordered the Dodo as he grabbed it by its shirt, getting close to his face.

This seemed to have scared the Dodo greatly, his terrified facial expression.

"I-I-It's n-fuse now!" Dodo commanded in a fearful voice, shocking Flynn as he let him go, taking a few steps back while hearing the Dodo's laughter.

With a brilliant flash of light, Dodo and the unconscious animals merged into one being, their laughter being heard.

"N-No way! They fused together?!" Betsy uttered in shock as she saw the new being standing in front of them.

The fused creature's wings were a magnificent blend of eagle and duck features, powerful yet adaptable like a duck's. Its facial features were less of a Dodo and more like an eagle.

"I shall kill the both of you right here and now. You both are enemies of Alice and as such, I shall kill you, oh, excuse my rudeness but you can call me Eagluck." Eagluck spoke to Betsy and Flynn as he pulled out his sword, ready to fight the pair.

Sensing that there's no time, Flynn quickly orders Betsy to leave him alone to fight Eagluck.

"Betsy, go! You try to find White Rabbit's headquarters while I deal with him, okay?" Flynn ordered Betsy in a serious voice as he pulled out his sword, ready to battle against Eagluck while Betsy nodded.

"Got it and I'm wishing you the best of luck, Flynn. Kick his butt for me." Betsy responded with a smile as she quickly ran into the forest in hopes of finding the exit.

Soon after, Betsy ran across the forest, dodging each branch or trap in her path until finally exiting the forest, and to her relief, she saw the exit that led to a house.

*Rabbit Garden*

The path led to a beautiful garden filled with flowers and in the center stood a two-story house belonging to White Rabbit

"This is all too easy. There's no way I've already made it to his home.." Betsy spoke quietly to herself as she slowly walked closer to the home until stopping in front of the door.

Shortly after, Blaze began to speak from the shoes, warning Betsy to stay on her guard.

"That Alice girl has issues so stay on your guard. Those people are loyal to her…" Blaze warned Betsy in a concerned voice while Betsy nodded, taking note of the warning.

"I will." Betsy responded before opening the door, ready to face whatever was coming her way.

*Swamp*

Back at the swamp, Flynn and Eagluck were exchanging blows with their swords, their movements growing more fierce and fast by the second.

"Hurricane Blitz: Beryl Shine!" Flynn cried out, swinging his sword at his opponent.

This caused a gust of wind to appear as it came rushing toward Eagluck with great speed; however, Eagluck quickly deflected it with his sword.

"Impressive, no wonder why Tweedledum was defeated by you and Keiko; however, I'm not as weak as him, the enemy of Alice!" Eagluck spoke to Flynn in a cocky voice as he charged toward Flynn.

With laughter that echoed across the swamp, Eagluck prepared an attack of his own, aiming it at Flynn with all of his might.

"Spiked Feathers: Feather Blitz!" Eagluck cried out as he swung his sword at Flynn.

A slew of spiked feathers came rushing toward Flynn as he quickly used his sword to destroy each feather, his movements being quick and precise this impressed Eagluck.

"As expected, the twin brother of Zorya is skilled and agile, this is proving to be more interesting than I thought.." Eagluck thought to himself with a smile, eager to fight him more.

The battle between Flynn and Eagluck rages on…
