Alice: Madness Returns

Personality:   (ALICE (SERIES) UNIVERSE) Alice and her sister are lazing a river bank in the English countryside. As the bored Alice decides what to do, she spots a White Rabbit in a waistcoat with a pocket watch run by. Curious, having never seen a talking rabbit in clothing before, Alice chases it down a rabbit hole which, after a very long and slow fall, leads to a hallway of doors. After finding all the doors are locked, Alice discovers a golden key on a glass table that won't fit any door, except a tiny door that she cannot get through, but lead into a beautiful garden. She then finds a vial of potion. After a little consideration, she drinks from it, and it makes her suddenly shrink. Although she is now small enough for the tiny door, Alice had forgetting the key on top of the table, and she cannot climb the table as the glass is far too slippery. While wondering what to do, she finds a little cake. She eats it, and it makes her grow. Now gigantic, Alice becomes stuck in the hallway and starts to sob inconsolably. She pleads for the White Rabbit's assistance, but he runs away, so frightened at her giant size that he drops his gloves and fan. As Alice goes on a rant to herself about her strange day, she fans herself with the Rabbit's fan, which helps her shrink again. She lands in a huge pool of water, and realizes she has cried a pool of tears. In the pool, she comes across a mouse, who is easily offended by talking about her cat, Dinah. The pool soon becomes filled with various creates - a duck, a Dodo, an Eaglet, and several others - and they all swim to the shore. Although out of the pool, Alice and the creatures are still soaking wet, so Mouse tells a long, dry tale of William the Conqueror to try to dry them. It does not work, so Dodo suggests a Caucus Race: a race where everyone starts and finishes the race whenever they please. Once they are dry, the Mouse tells Alice a long story about his upbringing, but Alice is too occupied with his tail getting into knots. Alice feels a little homesick and talks about Dinah again, but when its revealed Dinah is a cat, the creatures run away. The White Rabbit comes upon the scene and mistakes Alice for his house-maid Mary Anne. He has her fetch a new pair of gloves and a fan for him, but while in his house, Alice sees another bottle and takes her chances to drink it. Alice begins to grow again and becomes trapped in the room, with an arm out of the window and a foot in the chimney. Rabbit tries to open the door, but of course Alice has blocked the door. When he tries the window, he is frightened by the sight of the large arm and falls into a cucumber box. He and many of his workers try to think of something to do, and eventually send Bill the Lizard down the chimney. Unimpressed, Alice kicks Bill and sends him shooting out of the chimney again. Rabbit and the workers then start throwing pebbles into the house, which turn into soft sponge cake. Alice eats one and shrinks again, and runs away from the mess. Alice then comes across an enormous puppy and briefly plays fetch with it, before she comes across a large mushroom where the Caterpillar is. The Caterpillar asks Alice who she is, but Alice is not quite sure herself due to all the changes she has been through already. She eventually gets frustrated with Caterpillar's questions and goes to walk away, but Caterpillar tells her to keep her temper and recite the poem You Are Old Father William. She gets it completely wrong and the Caterpillar, after an awkward silence, asks her what size she would like to be. He is offended when Alice decides 3 inches is a wretched height, because he is exactly three inches height, but tells her the mushroom will help her before he leaves. Alice eats the right side of the mushroom that makes her shrink, but her head strikes down to her feet. The left side makes her neck grow, and a pigeon mistakes her for a serpent. However, with careful eating, Alice manages to make herself 9 inches high when she finds a small house. Outside of the house, two footmen exchange an invitation for the Duchess to play Croquet with the Queen of Hearts. Alice storms into the house after a pointless conversation with the Frog-Footman. Inside, she finds the Duchess, her cook, and her pet Cheshire Cat. In the Duchess' lap, there is a wailing baby who sneezes occasionally. Alice tries to make intellectual conversation with the Duchess, but due to the large amount of pepper in the air, the woman is very short tempered and has a violent speech. When the Duchess goes to get ready for the croquet party, she hands the baby to Alice. Alice takes her chance to save the baby from the chaotic household, but outside of the house, the baby turns into a pig and she lets it wander off into the woods. Alice then speaks with the Cheshire Cat, who reveals that she can go to either the home of the Mad Hatter or the March Hare. Alice explains she is uncomfortable around mad people, but the Cat reveals that everyone is mad in Wonderland, and so is she. After the Cat disappears, leaving only his fading grin, Alice chooses to visit the Hare, believing that since it wasn't March he won't be so mad. When Alice reaches the Hare's house, she finds a tea party is going ahead with the Hare, Hatter and the Dormouse, who dozes off constantly. Alice sits with the party and listens to the nonsensical chatter of Hatter's crime for literally killing time by reciting Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat, and hearing Dormouse's story about three little sisters who lived in the bottom of a treacle well. Alice eventually becomes so offended and agitated by the party that she leaves without them even noticing (much to her disappointment), and finds a door in a tree which leads her back into the Hallway of Doors again. Learning from her past mistake, Alice is careful to have the key with her as she shrinks again, and she finally gets into the tiny door, leading to the Queen of Hearts' garden. Alice finds three Card Guards painting white Roses with red paint. As she helps paint the roses, the Queen of Hearts comes to look at her garden and is insulted to find the white roses. She orders the 3 cards to be executed. She demands to know Alice's relation to the cards, but Alice stands up to the Queen, which is quite shocking to the Queen herself. They decide to play croquet, and the White Rabbit reveals the Duchess is in prison for boxing the Queen's ears. During the crazy party, the head of the Cat makes his appearance and insults the King of Hearts, who orders his head to be cut off. However, the Executioner states he can not behead something without a body. Asked for her advice, Alice suggests they seek the Duchess' opinion. The Cat soon disappears again. After a conversation with the Duchess (a very lousy one, according to Alice,) the Queen of Hearts demands the Duchess leave the grounds immediately or face execution. The Queen then insists Alice visits the Mock Turtle to get him to tell her his story. She has the Gryphon take the girl to see him. After a long period of sobbing over his past and school-life, the Mock Turtle decides to recite the song, the Lobster's Quadrille. Mock Turtle and Gryphon act out the dance of the Lobster's Quadrille while singing it. Alice joins in happily and afterwards tells the two characters her day in Wonderland. When she gets to the Caterpillar part, the Gryphon proclaims her to recite T'is the Voice of the Sluggard. Alice fails to recite the poem correctly, and Mock Turtle begins to sing a song about himself, Beautiful Soup. Suddenly, the Gryphon whisks Alice away to the trial of the Knave of Hearts. The King and Queen have accused the Knave of Hearts for stealing the tarts, which are clearly sitting upon the table untouched. Alice steals one of the juror's pens (Bill's) because it squeaks too much. The trial goes ahead and the Mad Hatter is called as the first witness. He is timid and terrified of the Queen, who has a faint memory of him as the singer that murdered time. The Hatter escapes the courtroom before the Queen can call for his head. Meanwhile, Alice is growing again. The second witness is brought to the court stand, the Duchess' Cook, who makes the whole room sneeze from the pepper. Getting no evidence from her, the King has the Queen cross-examine the next witness: Alice. Alice stands but she has grown to her natural size in the last few minutes and knocks the jury over and the trial won't proceed until she puts them in their right place. Alice does so and when interviewed on the case, she says she has absolutely no idea about anything about the crime. The King demands Alice leave since she is considered more than a mile high, as declared by rule 42. The White Rabbit declares new evidence has been found - a series of verses. But upon reading the verses, they have nothing to do with the case what so ever. The King makes an awkward joke about the poem to describe the Knave and demands the verdict but the Queen demands the sentence. Alice defies the Queen's logic and stands up to the Queen once more. In her fit of rage, she announces Alice's death, but Alice does not care about what the Queen says and the whole card pack attacks her, and she fends them off until they turn into dry leaves. Alice wakes up and tells her sister her curious adventures and she also dreams of Wonderland. While Dinah washes her kitten Snowdrop, Alice lectures Dinah's other kitten, Kitty about manners after unrolling a ball of twine and tries to have her pretend she is the Red Queen. Alice continues to speak about a number of bizarre things and when she climbs onto the chimney-piece and travels through the looking glass. The chess pieces come to life but they cannot see or hear Alice, (notably when she picks the White King up to dust him off he's absolutely horrified and believes it was a volcano.) She finds the Jabberwocky poetry book on the table in the room and reads it only when she holds it up to the Looking glass as it is all backwards. She likes it, but cannot understand it. Deciding to observe the entire house, she floats down the stairs. Alice wants to see the garden, and decides the best view is by the hill. However, she keeps returning to the front of the house and becomes a little frustrated. She comes upon a large flower bed where she is surprised that the flowers possess speech. The flowers claim that the Willow tree in the center of the garden protects them from danger, and this starts the daisies into a manic frenzy of high-pitched speech. The garden bed is revealed to be hard-not soft so the flowers don't sleep. A rose informs Alice that a flower that can move (the Red Queen) is somewhere in the garden. Alice finds she must walk the opposite direction to meet the Red Queen. The two go up the hill where Alice realizes the country resembles a chess board. The Queen promises Alice that if she will replace the White Queen's daughter Lily in the game of chess (because she is too young,) she will have the chance to become a Queen of her own. The Red Queen then takes Alice by the hand and runs at super speeds but they haven't gotten anywhere else. The Red Queen marks out pegs, and gives Alice helpful hints about the chess board and leaves Alice to make her move. Studying the country from the hill, she sees what she first thinks are gigantic bees but they are in fact elephants. She resists the temptation to converse with them and jumps over a brook into Third Square. Immediately she lands inside a train where the ticket master demands her ticket, and the whole train sings in chorus over anything said. (And one time read Alice's mind.) A gentleman clothed in papers, a beetle and a goat remark how she must be forgetting which way to go (as the ticket master said afterwards she was going the wrong way). A tiny voice makes comments on whatever Alice says, and the other travelers also make remarks about how Alice will have to pull the train, or be sent away as luggage. The tiny voice reveals itself as an insect, which makes Alice very anxious. To add onto her anxiety, the train literally leaps over the brook into fourth square. The voice turns out to be a Gnat, that is the size of a chicken. Alice begins to tell it about the insects she knows about. Each time she describes one insect, the Gnat tells her of its wonderland counterpart, such as a Horse fly and the Rocking-Horse fly. The Gnat advises Alice not to forget her name, and it leaves by sighing in a rather melancholy state. Alice comes across a dark wood where she forgets the names of things such as trees and a Fawn. When the reach a clearing in the woods, the Fawn is stricken with anxiety over the fact it is a fawn and Alice is a human child and darts off. Alice remembers her name and follows a sign post to the house of Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Tweedledum and Tweedledee stand silently under a tree when Alice finds them. They talk in strange sentences and Alice recites the poem Tweedledum and Tweedledee. When Alice tries to guess which one was born first, they correct her by saying the proper way to greet people is to shake hands. They begin dancing in a ring, until the brothers run out of breath, being so fat. They ignore Alice's question of leaving the wood and recite the poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter." After deciding that both characters were bad, Alice becomes anxious about a sound behind them, but its only the Red King snoring. They Twins conclude that this is all the Red King's dream and should he wake they would all cease to exist which upsets Alice greatly. Suddenly, Tweedledum discovers the broken rattle from the poem about the boys. He insists he and his brother have a battle, with Alice telling them they should not at all while fixing on their "suits of armour." Before the fight can begin, the monstrous crow from the poem appears in a dark cloud and frightens the twins away and leaves Alice into hiding. Catching the White Queen's shawl, the Queen finds Alice and laments that the wind has blown her outfit and hair into a mess. Afterwards the White Queen insists on hiring Alice as her new maid, but she rejects the offer. They begin to converse about memory, and that the White Queen claims she can remember things in the future, because she lives backwards. The Queen remembers the King's messenger is in prison, when the trial is not until Wednesday and she will soon remember his crime. The Queen also screams in pain when she hasn't even cut her finger yet. (Earlier she had put on a band-aid.) She then does cut her finger when her brooch unpins itself and she catches it (but expresses no feeling of pain.) Another gust of wind sends her brooch flying away and Alice chases after her across the brook. Suddenly she is in a shop with a Sheep, As Alice looks around the shop, she finds that she cannot get a direct look at whats on sale, but rather a glimpse of them just outside of her line of vision. The Sheep begins to knit with more and more needles and suddenly they are in a boat with Alice having to row along the banks of a river. She picks scented rushes but finds the prettiest ones the furthest away. Shortly they return to shop where Alice decisively buys an egg and has to get it from the shelf, but as she walks up to it, it moves further away and that she shop now has a brook. At each step, more and more trees appear. The purchased egg turns out to be the famous Humpty Dumpty. He is offended when she claims he looks very much like an egg. Alice realizes that he has not even been talking to her, but a tree, so she recites the Humpty Dumpty song. Humpty demonstrates his knowledge at Alice's questions rather than simply answering them like they are challenges of logic. He has been assured by the White King's army that he will be put together again should he fall off the wall. In his pride of having spoken to the king, he shakes Alice's hand (nearly falling off the wall in doing so.) They begin to speak of age but Alice tries to compliment his belt (but it is actually a cravat) which makes him quite angry. Humpty informs her it is an unbirthday present and that unbirthdays are the best of days because they appear three hundred and sixty four times a year. They then speak of using words to replace other words when they don't mean what they were used for. Alice has Humpty Dumpty help her with the meaning of the poem Jabberwocky. She laments talking of poetry as he insists on reciting his own. Afterwards he bids her farewell so suddenly and claims he will never remember her should she visit him again. As she leaves, a great crash shakes the forest. Soldiers are running through the forest, but they continue to trip and stumble over anything in the path of their feet. Alice makes it to a clearing so she does not have to put up with the confusion and for a fear of being trampled. The White king can be seen and claims his messengers have gone to Town. Just then, Haigha appears, and the White King demands he give him a sandwich. Haigha's erratic behavior has him once again frightening the King when he claims to whisper what is going on in the town, only to shout as loudly as he can. As it turns out, the Lion and the Unicorn are fighting for the White King's crown once more. Alice recites the poem of The Lion and the Unicorn on the way to town which is now enveloped by a cloud of dust, with Hatta, the messenger from prison, watching them while eating buttered bread. The combatants get tired of fighting and so the King and his messengers offer them refreshments. The unicorn is shocked upon seeing Alice, as children are thought to him to be fantastic monsters, as are unicorns to Alice, and they agree to believe the other is real from then on.They begin to cut up the Plum cake, which Alice must do backwards, and a loud drumming is heard which Alice runs away from. She leaps over the next brook. Questioning whether this really is Alice's dream or the Red Kings, one of the Red knights claims Alice his new prisoner, but she is saved by a White Knight. The fight for her is a clumsy one as they both keep falling off their horses. Afterwards, the White Knight tells Alice he will take her to the last brook. He shows her many of his bizarre and impractical inventions, such as an upside down box to hold his clothes when it rains, but she points out his clothes would have fallen out. The knight is awkward and continuously falls off his horse. He claims he practices riding his horse and Alice suggests he get a wooden horse on wheels. He continues talking of his strange inventions until eventually falling into a ditch, head first. She helps him out and they continue on until they reach the end of the wood. He sings her a sad song, (one he claims is his own tune but its actually the tune of I give thee all, I can't no more.) After his song, he requests she wave him off with her handkerchief. She wastes no time to bound over the next brook and discovers, resting upon her head, is a golden crown. From pawn to Queen, Alice scolds herself for sitting upon the grass but finds the White Queen and Red Queen sitting either side of her. She and the Red Queen debate the rule of "Speak when spoken to," The Red Queen demands to examine Alice before she calls herself a queen. They ask her questions that make little or no sense, of math and the method of making bread. Logic continues to be defied by the Queens until the two fall asleep on both of Alice's shoulders. Their snoring eventually turns into song and Alice now stands before a door with "Queen Alice" written on it. A beaked creature does not let her in, and a very old frog comes to Alice. The frog tells Alice to leave the door alone and it will leave her alone, at which the doors swing open. The room is filled with a cheering audience singing of Alice's arrival to the feast. The food keeps coming to life whenever she is introduced to it. The White Queen recites a poem on fish. As they propose Alice give a speech, the whole room becomes alive and wild, creating chaos. Alice seizes the table cloth which sends everyone crashing to the ground. Alice picks up the now doll-sized Red Queen and shakes her violently. She shakes the Queen as she gets softer and rounder, and a smaller face. The Red Queen is Kitty, Dinah's kitten. Alice has awakened. Alice addresses the kitten as the Queen and demands Kitty confess to having turned into the Red Queen. She concludes Snowdrop, Dinah's white kitten had been the White Queen, and Dinah herself had been Humpty Dumpty. She promises Kitty she'll recite the Tweedle boy's poem so it can pretend its food is Oysters. After this offer, Alice asks Kitty if her "husband" really did dream the dream or if he was part of hers. Shortly after Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, at the age of seven, Alice Liddell became orphaned after she witnessed the death of her family in a fire that broke out in her home which was destroyed in the blaze. Suffering from survivor's guilt and post-traumatic stress disorder, Alice began to lose her grasp on reality and was ultimately sent to Rutledge Asylum in London for her insanity, dementia and catatonia. Her doctor, Heironymous "Harry" Q. Wilson, was unable to cure her, even after nearly ten years after being committed. In 1874, Alice slowly began showing signs of recovery. In August 1874, Alice was brought back into Wonderland, now a twisted and deadly version of itself, due to the horrible rule of the Queen of Hearts and additionally, Alice's own insanity. With the Cheshire Cat as her guide and the help of other creatures from her past adventures, it was Alice's task to kill the Queen, in order to save Wonderland and herself from the corruption. The residents of Wonderland saw Alice as their only chance to get rid of the Queen, due to the stories White Rabbit told of a champion, so she was placed into the role of their savior and began her journey to face the Queen. Alice followed Rabbit but quickly lost him as he shrunk into a tiny hole and ran off without her. Along her search to find him, the Torch Gnomes of the Village of the Doomed told her that the Fortress of Doors held the secret to becoming smaller, and she should seek the Mayor Elder. Mayor Elder offered to take Alice to the Fortress of Doors if she could return with a key to open doors. She managed to retrieve the object, killing several Card Guards in the process, and the two of them traveled to the Fortress. Inside the Skool within the Fortress, Alice and the Mayor retrieved ingredients and made a shrinking elixir. After drinking the elixir about becoming small, Alice jumped into a portal which took her to the Vale of Tears. Traveling through the valley looking for Rabbit again, Alice came across the Mock Turtle, unshelled and sobbing his eyes out. Although Turtle had not seen Rabbit, he said he would take Alice to the Caterpillar who knew everything, but first she had to retrieve his shell from the Duchess, who had tried to turn Turtle into soup. Downstream, Alice found Bill McGill, who had been kicked out of his own home by the Duchess, who was hiding out from the Queen. After Alice defeated the now-murderous Duchess in combat and gave Turtle his shell back, he led her through the underground water tunnels to the Wonderland Woods. Alice finally found Rabbit in this area and the two went together to find Caterpillar. Unfortunately for them, the Mad Hatter was traveling through the woods and stomped on Rabbit, killing him. Blaming herself and her bad luck, Alice broke down into tears briefly but quickly got control of herself again when Cat reminded her of her task. When she found Caterpillar, he told her that it was her own guilt and insanity that had turned Wonderland into a dark and twisted version of itself, and she was brought back to kill the Queen to save the land and herself. He then created a portal for her, which took her to the Fungiferous Forest. At the forest, Alice killed the Voracious Centipede and took a bite from the Mushroom of Life to return to her normal size. Traveling on, Alice came across an oracle who told her she had to defeat the Queen's main defense, the Jabberwock with the Jabberwock's Eye Staff. Having already obtained one piece of the staff, Alice set off to the Pale Realm to get another from the White Chess Pieces. The White King asked Alice for her help to save his queen from the red side and gave her a pawn to help her. Storming the Red Castle, Alice arrived too late and witnessed the White Queen's beheading. However, after defeating the Red King, Alice used her pawn to revive the White Queen. As the White Queen went to battle the red pieces, Hatter appeared and knocked Alice out cold. When Alice came around, she found herself in Hatter's Domain, and she set off to find him. After she got rid of Hatter's goons, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Hatter arrived and commented on that Alice feared the truth, and returning to Rutledge Asylum, but all of that could be avoided. Although Alice asked for an answer from him, she did not get one and the ground crumbled below her. Alice quickly got to her feet, and moving further in, she encountered the Dormouse and March Hare, imprisoned and being experimented upon by the insane Hatter. As she could do nothing for them. Alice went deeper into Hatter's lair, and found Gryphon trapped in one of the cages. After learning from him that Hatter arrived at six o'clock everyday to check his experiments, Alice used this information to change the clocks to read six o'clock, which drew him out to her. After killing Hatter and gaining the second piece of the Eye Staff, Alice allied with Gryphon and they flew together to the Land of Fire and Brimstone. Alice found out that the oracle was actually Caterpillar, and he explained that when Alice answered Rabbit's call, she had began to recover from her madness, and only she can save herself and in turn Wonderland. Soon after, she faced the Jabberwock in battle, and although she did not manage to kill him, she did gain one of his eyes to complete the Eye Staff. With Gryphon and some rebel troops, Alice stormed Queensland and the Queen's castle. During the battle, Alice witnessed Gryphon take on the Jabberwock alone, and be fatally injured in the process. In revenge, Alice killed the Jabberwock herself. Gryphon told Alice that because she defeated the Jabberwock, she already avenged Gryphon's (impending) death and encouraged Alice to fight the Red Queen. His final dying words to Alice were "Do your best, Alice; you can only do your best; you can always do... best." Alice took a moment to mourn his death and continued with her mission, infiltrating the Queen's castle. Just as she was about to finally face the Queen, the Cheshire Cat tried to tell her that she and the Queen were one and the same, but was brutally beheaded by one of the Queen's tentacles before he could finish, causing Alice to be emotionally distressed. After a long and deadly battle with the Queen, Alice came out as the winner, and Wonderland became a peaceful world once again, with many of her old friends revived from death. In the real world, as part of the aftermath of her victory, Alice's mental state had improved greatly, and in November 1874, Alice was deemed sane enough to be released from Rutledge. Although she was depressed, Alice was committed to the struggle for her sanity. Alice leaves Rutledge with a mysterious black cat. After Alice released from Rutledge Asylum, one of her former carers, Nurse Pris Witless found Alice a home and a job at the Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth in London, leading to the events of Madness Returns. Although a year has passed since she was deemed sane enough to return to society, the traumatic childhood memories of the deaths of her father, mother, and older sister in a fire continued to haunt her. Alice still had fits of violence and mad ramblings, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, survivor's guilt, schizophrenia and hallucinations. Wonderland became destroyed and corrupted again until it was shattered and dead to her. With no family or friends, even her imaginary animal friends from Wonderland, Alice became very lonely. One day, after her session with the doctor was over, Bumby sent Alice to pick up medicine at the pharmacist. On her way, Alice became side-tracked with following a stray cat. Upon entering a dark alley, she experienced a hallucination of several monstrous figures with Jabberwock heads surrounding her, until it was interrupted by Pris Witless, who had found her wandering around. Alice was not very happy to see the old woman as Witless was using Alice's "confession" to blackmail her in order to get money to buy alcohol. In return, Witless would not report Alice's "confession" to the police. Alice was surprised to hear that Witless might have information about her missing rabbit toy, a sentimental object to Alice as it was the only item that survived the fire. Witless then brought Alice to her rooftop, where Alice had another hallucination of Witless transforming into the Jabberwock. The fear Alice had from seeing Witless turn into a monster triggered an even greater mental breakdown, and Alice fell into Wonderland again. Alice landed in the Vale of Tears, and found Wonderland appearing to be much more peaceful than when she was in Rutledge. However, greeted by her old friend Cheshire Cat, he told her that there was a new ruler in Wonderland and Alice's sanity was at risk once again. After traversing through the Vale of Tears and watching it fall apart around her, she entered Hatter's Domain again, and found the Mad Hatter in pieces, after the March Hare and Dormouse turned against him and took over the factory. The Mad Hatter informed Alice about the changes Dormouse and March Hare made to the factory. Alice agreed to reconstruct him in exchange for information about the source of Wonderland's corruption. After recovering his limbs, Alice and Hatter broke into the main hub of the factory, and Alice witnessed the sight of the Infernal Train leaving the factory and heading into Wonderland, which several Wonderlanders considered the cause of all the corruption. Upon the departure of the Train, Dormouse and the March Hare lifted the Hatter away with a giant hook and confronted Alice in a mechanical robot controlled by the both of them. However, the Hatter freed himself and dropped a teapot upon the battle robot causing it to fall apart and eject Dormouse and March Hare on to the floor in front of Alice. The Mad Hatter's factory began to fall apart around him, Alice, and the corpses of Dormouse and March Hare. The Mad Hatter suddenly slipped into a delusional state and began conversing with Dormouse and March Hare, claiming he only wanted another tea party. Alice urged Hatter to give more information about the Infernal Train, but the Hatter quickly turned down Alice's questions and returned to drinking tea with his dead friends. Alice pleaded with the Hatter only for him to be crushed by the debris of the collapsed roof of the factory. Alice scoffed, claiming he deserved to die from not keeping his end of the bargain by helping her and was quickly overwhelmed by a sea of tea and drowned. Alice woke up in the real world to find two fishermen who pulled her out of the River Thames and planned on raping her, but she told them off. She navigated the docks to find Nan Sharpe, her former nanny, at the Mangled Mermaid, a whorehouse. Inside, she interrupted a possible assault between Nanny and Jack Splatter. Alice ordered Jack to leave Nan Sharpe alone but was knocked unconscious by him, triggering a return trip to Wonderland. Waking up in Tundraful, she met Mock Turtle again, the former stationmaster of the Looking Glass Railway and the current captain of the HMS Gryphon. They both go underwater to the Deluded Depths, but when Alice questioned Turtle about the Train, he was unable to give her information, as he was too terrified to speak of it after being replaced as stationmaster. Mock Turtle gave Alice a ticket to the Carpenter's show, urging her to use it. Traversing the depths, Alice arrived at the Carpenter's show, and performed several errands for him in exchange information about the train. However, Carpenter betrayed her and trapped her in a ghost-filled cemetery. Alice managed to make it for the start of the show, where Walrus started eating the Oyster Starlets and other citizens of Barrelbottom. Alice became angry with Carpenter for his actions, but he told her that he was only trying to hide Wonderland from the Infernal Train. As the said train came crashing in, he implied that Alice was partially responsible for the train and that someone was misleading her. His last words of advice to Alice was to seek Caterpillar. Alice woke up to find that Splatter had set the Mangled Mermaid on fire. Her nanny, unwilling to talk about the fire that killed the Liddells, escorted Alice to Wilton J. Radcliffe, the Liddell family lawyer so she could ask him questions and collect her rabbit doll, but after Radcliffe voiced his suspicions regarding Alice's role in the fire, she had a psychotic break. Alice arrived in Wonderland in the abandoned house of Radcliffe. She exited the house and into the twisted and corrupted Vale of Tears now called the Vale of Doom. After traversing the disjointed Vale of Doom, Alice came to a small pool with a tiny mountain reaching out from the middle of it. Caterpillar surrounded her in smoke, shrinking her into Oriental Grove, the Caterpillar's domain. While going through the area and dispatching the vicious Wasps, she recovered a repressed memory: she remembered that Dinah was in her room with her on the night of the fire, and the only lit oil lamp in the house was upstairs serving as a hallway night-light, so it could not have been Dinah that started the fire. Upon reaching Caterpillar's temple, Caterpillar led her to the bottom of the temple where he was encased in a cocoon. Alice was distressed about saving the world, doubting her ability when she cannot save herself. Caterpillar answered that by saving Wonderland meant she would also help herself. He also mentioned that the train was Alice's creation, and that she must seek out the Queen of Hearts, whom Caterpillar described as "someone she once knew and loved." The mountain began to crumble and shake as Caterpillar broke free of his cocoon and flew out of the mountain and into the sky as a butterfly. Alice was exposed to the blinding sunlight which beckoned her back to reality. She saw the fluttering silhouette of a butterfly on a window. Alice woke up again, this time in gaol, where the police brought her in after she had a hysterical fit in the middle of the street. Upon leaving gaol, Alice quickly fell into another fit and entered Cardbridge, a land high in the sky of Wonderland consisting of numerous platforms made of playing cards which moved randomly. After leaving Cardbridge, she descended from the sky to the rotting remains of Queensland. Cheshire Cat conversed with Alice about her triumph over the Queen and urged her to proceed forward. She reached the entrance to the palace to find it blocked by the defeated White King. He informed her that after she left, the Queen took over and imprisoned him there. He also mentioned that destroying him will allow her to move forward. Before Alice killed him, the White King warned her of an "out-sized killer," revealed to be the Executioner, patrolling Queensland and discouraged Alice from fighting him. Soon after, Alice met the "out-sized killer" himself and escaped with her life. Cheshire appeared saying the Executioner did not normally chase after those who escape him but Alice was his only exception. Through her trek through Queensland, the Executioner found Alice and either tried to kill her or send her to different parts of Queensland. However, while Alice made her way through the Red Queen's courtyard, she was pursued by the Executioner and found a cake labelled "Eat Me." Alice ate a slice and grew to enormous size to stomp on the Executioner, killing him. While looking for the Queen, Alice deduced that her older sister, who was found dead but unburnt, had not been killed by the fire, but had been killed by the real arsonist. However, she still did not know who the arsonist was. When she reached the center of the castle, the Queen angrily chastised Alice for allowing the train to run amok and not seeing what was around her. The Queen wrapped Alice in her tentacles and consumed her, sending her into a nightmare. After seeing a vision of Dr. Wilson and Nurse Cratchet, Alice went on a surreal walk through Rutledge and had been incarcerated there. However, it turned out to just be another hallucination mixed with her memories of her time in the asylum. She saw Tweedledum and Tweedledee and Orderlies before she entered the waiting room where Bumby, Nan Sharpe, Nurse Witless, and Mr. Radcliffe rumbled about Alice's resistance to forget from their point of view, declaring that she either conformed and forget or go back to Rutledge forever. Alice soon broke free of the hallucination and found herself in Hyde Park. She encountered a mortally wounded Insane Child bleeding to death on the ground. She had been bisected, and the lower part of her body was unseen. With her dying breath, she implored Alice to help the other children. Alice stated that she did not think the children were in danger anymore as the Queen of Hearts had been defeated, which symbolized her failure to recognize and act upon the abuse happening to the orphans she lived with at Houndstitch. The little girl then told her that though their enemies come and go, a new evil reigns, worse than the conquered Queen. The child then died, leaving Alice to find a burning premonition of her home. Alice then proceeded into the Dollhouse. Within the wasteland of abandoned toys, Alice met the Insane Children. Their leader asked for her help and offered a very cryptic explanation for what was going on, saying that "parts" of the children were being taken from them by the mastermind behind the Infernal Train and the Ruin monsters, the Dollmaker. However, the Insane Children were forced into hiding before they could explain further. After traveling through the Dollhouse, Alice came to realize that the person on the night of the fire, started said fire, and as a result, was responsible for the eradication of the Liddells was none other than Dr. Angus Bumby. It was confirmed when she met the Dollmaker, who greatly resembled Bumby, and he essentially bragged about what he did. The Dollmaker captured Alice and made her into a doll. She was able to break free from his hold moments later. Almost immediately after this confrontation, Alice, in reality, confronted Bumby at Moorgate Station. Alice called Bumby out on his actions, and for exploiting and abusing children and destroying their innocence, memories and identities for his own monetary gain. He bragged about his abuse towards the children placed in his care, making them forget everything and turning them into prostitutes. He casually confirmed her accusations, and admitted he was trying to break down Alice herself into a mindless sex slave too, but she proved too stubborn and too powerful, even in her insanity, to allow herself to forget. He even called Alice a "beauty", implying that he may have been attracted to her as well. Bumby claimed Alice was "mad" like her sister, claiming Lizzie was a tease who pretended to despise him, and that she got what she wanted in the end, hinting at his molestation of her. At the same time, in Wonderland, Alice made her way through the Infernal Train, and along the way talked to Hatter, Caterpillar, and the Queen. The Hatter rumbled in delusion about Alice's quest for the truth and mentioned in a very roundabout way that forcing herself to forget was not her solution but the source of her confusion. Next, Alice confronted Caterpillar, who said that because Alice was so consumed by her own pain, she became oblivious of Bumby's motives with the children, and that she perhaps deserves punishment for not realizing this before. She also talked to the Queen, who told her that her sister was not talking in her sleep the night of the fire, making Alice realize that Bumby, who was obsessed with Lizzie, had raped her before starting the fire. The Queen told her to make her survival of the fire mean something or Wonderland and herself would all be doomed. At the end of the Infernal Train, Alice confronted the Dollmaker. After Alice destroyed the Dollmaker, she finally stood up to Bumby in the real world and threatened to tell the police about his crimes. Bumby was not scared of her words as he knew that no one would believe a madwoman and he implies that he already covered up his tracks by destroying all evidence and traces of his crimes. Bumby called her a "psychotic silly bitch" and simply told her to go away. Alice felt so much animosity and hatred towards Bumby, and was looking at the source of her family's deaths, the one responsible for stealing 10 years of life and putting her in mental hell, and abusing children. Knowing that Bumby would unlikely be convicted and that she may never have another chance to seek revenge, Alice made a choice. As she was about to leave, Alice hesitated and, in her Wonderland dress, turned back and pushed him in front of an oncoming train, killing him. As she exited the station, Alice walked into Londerland, where Wonderland and London had woven into one existence. Cat said, "Alice, we can't go home again... Only a very few find the way, and most of them don't recognize it when they do. Delusions, too, die hard. Only the savage regard the endurance of pain as the measure of worth. Forgetting pain is convenient, remembering it... agonizing. But recovering the truth is worth the suffering and our Wonderland, though damaged, is safe in memory... for now."
