Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass

---

IMPORTANT NOTE!! Characters originated grom Underland have no clue about the Real World (England) or Alice's life in it

PLOT The story begins in London in 1858 with Charles Kingsleigh trying to convince some men, including Lord Ascot, to approve his idea of venturing farther to Rangoon, Bangkok, and Jakarta, where he can set up trading posts. His talk is interrupted by his 6-year-old daughter Alice, who is frightened by an occurring nightmare. Once her father brings her back to bed, she tells him she saw many strange creatures including a dodo bird, a white rabbit wearing a waistcoat, a smiling cat, and a blue caterpillar. Alice wonders if she has gone mad, which Charles responds that she is. He tells her as a secret that all the best people are mad. Thirteen years later in 1871, after her father's death, Alice attends a (engagement) party with her now-widowed mother Helen at the Ascot Estate. Alice learns that it's an engagement party for herself and Lord Ascot's son Hamish, a snobby man Alice dislikes. She begins to see a white rabbit in a waistcoat and during Hamish's proposal, Alice follows the White Rabbit. She falls down a rabbit hole, full of objects floating in the air, into a room full of many doors. She tries to open them, only to see that they are all locked. After finding a key on a table and trying it on each door, she finds only the smallest door can be opened with the key. Alice notices the table now has a "Drink Me" bottle on top of it. Believing everything that is happening to be a dream, she drinks some of the bottle's liquid and then she starts to shrink while her dress kept its size. Alice shrinks until she is 2 feet tall and starts trying to get out of her dress, then she manages to get out and finds herself in another dress her size and tries to open the door. But the door is locked again after it closed itself and she finds the key she left on the table. Alice attempts to retrieve it while unknown hidden voices comment nearby if she's the wrong or right Alice. Alice finds an "Eat Me" cake on the table. She takes a bite and grows to 20 feet. She picks up the key, then she drinks the whole "Pishsalver" bottle to shrink back again. She unlocks the door and enters it into a strange place. Alice finds herself in a vast garden residing in Underland. Exploring it, she runs into Nivins McTwisp the White Rabbit, Mallymkun the Dormouse, Tweedledum, Tweedledee, and Uilleam the Dodo. The group takes Alice to Absolem the Caterpillar, who tells them to consult a calendar-like scroll detailing every day in Underland known as the Oraculum. Eventually, on Frabjous day, Alice has to slay the Jabberwocky, but Alice--not wanting to slay the dragon--attempts to assure everyone that she's not the one. Absolem comments that Alice is "not hardly Alice." Before they can return Alice to her home, the group is ambushed by the Bandersnatch and the Armored Cards. The White Rabbit and the Dodo get captured along with several flamingos. Alice, who's being pursued by the Bandersnatch, stands her ground. Mally saves Alice by stabbing out one of the Bandersnatch's eyes, but it manages to injure Alice's arm in the process. Alice and the Tweedle Boys carry on until the Jub Jub Bird captures the Tweedle Boys. Meanwhile, the Red Queen screams out in anger that someone stole three of her tarts. After finding out it was one of her Frog Servants, she orders him to be executed. The Red Queen informs a fish servant to collect the frog's children so she can eat them on toast with caviar. She is informed by Ilosovic Stayne, the Knave of Hearts, that Alice will slay the Jabberwocky on Frabjous Day, as shown on the Oraculum he found, unless they stop her. With the Red Queen's order to find Alice, the Knave assigns Bayard the Bloodhound to pursue her scent for freeing his imprisoned wife and pups, and his own freedom, which his family's freedom is actually a lie the Knave made. The wandering Alice encounters Chessur the Cheshire Cat, who bandages her arm and escorts her to a tea party. Alice arrives with Chessur and meets Tarrant Hightopp the Mad Hatter, along with Thackery Earwicket the March Hare, and sees Mally again. The Hatter becomes angry at the Cheshire Cat, blaming him for deserting everyone in Underland on the day it was seized control by the Red Queen until Mally shouts the Hatter's name to calm him down. The Knave of Hearts arrives at the tea party with a troop of Armored Cards and Bayard to look for Alice. The Hatter quickly shrinks Alice to 6-inches tall with Pishsalver and hides her in a teapot. He manages to persuade Bayard to not reveal Alice's location. Bayard leads the Knave and his troop away. The Hatter makes Alice a dress that fits her smaller size with a piece of her other dress. The March Hare suggests that Alice should be safe with the White Queen in Marmoreal. Tarrant begins his journey to there with Alice on his hat. At a burned abandoned town, Tarrant tells her his sad story of how he lost his clan in the town and the beginning of the Red Queen's reign on Horunvendush Day with the loss of the Vorpal Sword that is used for slaying the Jabberwocky and nothing else. With Bayard finding Alice's scent at where they are, the Armored Cards begin to track Tarrant and Alice down to a river. As a last resort, Tarrant throws his hat with Alice on it across the river and lets himself be captured without resistance. Alice sleeps under the hat for the night. The next morning, Alice is found by Bayard. In repayment for the events that led to the capture of the Hatter, she tells Bayard to take her to the Red Queen's castle in Salazen Grum with the Hatter's hat and crosses a moat full of severed heads. Bayard throws Tarrant's hat over the wall to the courtyard. While the Red Queen is playing croquet there, Alice frees a tied porcupine that was used as a ball for the game and is found by the White Rabbit, who is held captive as the Red Queen's page. He gives Alice some more Upelkuchen cake to make her grow big again. But Alice eats too much of it and grows to 8.5 feet, her dress getting ripped apart in the process. The Red Queen and her court arrive to see Alice behind the bushes. To avoid suspicion, Alice lies to her by saying she is Um from Umbridge and the people in Umbridge make fun of her for her recently grown large height. The Red Queen buys Alice's story, welcomes her to her court and orders someone to find some clothes for Alice. After receiving a red and black dress to wear, Alice finds herself at the Red Queen's side, the captured Tweedle Boys, who are being used to entertain the Red Queen as her "Fat Boys", and the imprisoned Mad Hatter's appearance. Eventually, the Red Queen is persuaded by Tarrant to become her hatter. In Marmoreal, Bayard manages to arrive at the White Queen's castle where he is greeted by the White Queen herself. He delivers the news that Alice is currently residing in the Red Queen's castle with guilt for letting her go there. The White Queen assures him that the castle is exactly where Alice will find the Vorpal Sword and tells him to rest. Alice is able to retrieve Tarrant's hat with the porcupine's help and returns it to him in the Red Queen's dressing room. When he becomes furious at how he has to make hats for her, Alice calms him down the same way Mally did at the tea party. He asks her if he has gone mad. She repeats her late father's secret from her childhood to Tarrant and puts his hat back on his head. During a conversation between the Red Queen and Knave in her bed chamber on how everyone loves her sister instead of her, Nivens retrieves the Oraculum without being spotted by them while the Monkey Servants in the chamber stay quiet, not letting his actions be known. With his help, Alice locates the Vorpal Sword in the pen of the Bandersnatch where it is chained inside. After retrieving its stolen eye from Mally, Alice makes her way to the Bandersnatch's pen when the Knave corners her. He confesses that he likes her for her height, but she rejects him and manages to get away. One of the Red Queen's courtiers sees everything that happened to the two while passing by. Alice returns the Bandersnatch its eye, preventing it from harming her when her return wakes it up, and finds the locked chest to the Vorpal Sword. Her wound begins to burn up and she falls unconscious. While Tarrant is hatting the Red Queen, she hears the news about the Knave's advancement towards Alice from the courtier who saw them, the Red Queen's face turning red with fury towards the Knave. Alice wakes up the next morning to find the Bandersnatch watching her. She notices a key to the chest around its neck and retrieves the key. The Bandersnatch repays Alice by licking her wound to disinfect it as a sign of friendship. It lets her salvage the Vorpal Sword without stopping her from leaving. The Knave attempts to lie on how it is Um (Alice) that's obsessed with him, which the Queen believes and orders the execution of Um. Alice returns to Tarrant and Mally, only to be charged right away by the Knave for unlawful seduction when he and the Armored Cards arrive to arrest her. The Knave notices the Vorpal sword and tries to snatch it. The Hatter holds the Knave and the Armored Cards off, but Mally blurts out, "Run, Alice!" The Knave, now knowing Alice's true identity, orders the Armored Cards to get her. Alice runs out to where the Bandersnatch's pen is located, but then gets ambushed by the Armored Cards and the Knave until the Bandersnatch breaks free from its chain out of its pen and escapes with Alice in tow. Bayard leads them back to Marmoreal. Alice arrives at the White Queen's castle, presenting the Vorpal Sword to her. The White Queen places it with an armor to complete it and shrinks Alice back down to her original size with Pishsalver. Alice once again meets with Absolem, who replies about his earlier comment that she was not Alice back then, but is more like Alice now. Back in Salazen Grum, Tarrant and Mally are held in a cell, the latter being locked up in a cage hanging near the front of it, near Bayard's wife and pups. Chessur morphs into the cell of Tarrant and wonders if he can have Tarrant's hat after the execution. On the morning of Tarrant and Mally's execution, the Red Queen's executioner severs Tarrant's head, but his body disappears with only the hat floating in the air. Tarrant is substituted by Chessur and the real Hatter is up with the Red Queen. He reveals that all the Red Queen's courtiers are phonies and makes a speech for all those willing to rebel against the "Bloody Big Head" to rise and escape to the White Queen's side. In retaliation, the Red Queen orders the release of the Jub Jub Bird, which terrorizes the people. She tells the Knave to prepare the Jabberwocky for battle as it is time to visit her sister. The Hatter manages to escape to Marmoreal with Mally, the Tweedle Boys, Nivens, and Bayard's wife Bielle and their pups. Bayard reunites with his family and Chessur returns Tarrant's hat to him. To find a champion to battle against the Jabberwocky, many propose, but the Oraculum held by Nivins still shows Alice as the slayer. Alice, not wanting to fight, runs off into the castle where she once again encounters Absolem, the latter preparing to go into his pupa stage. He chats with her, and Alice finds out that "Underland" is what she mistakenly heard as "Wonderland" during her first visit. She realizes that her dream of Underland was really a memory of her first visit to there and Underland does exist along with everything in it. Before he becomes a pupa with the possibility of seeing her again in another life, Absolem tells her to hold on to the Vorpal Sword and bids her farewell. Frabjous day has finally arrived with both Red and White armies prepared for an epic battle. Alice dons the armor and Vorpal sword as the White Queen's champion. Both armies arrive at a chessboard-like battlefield for the battle between Alice and the Jabberwocky. He finally reveals himself to Alice, who strikes first by slicing off his tongue. Before doing so, she tries to reassure herself by remembering six impossible things her late father told her to believe in before breakfast, which gives her the growing intention to proceed fighting. As the battle between Alice and the Jabberwocky carries on, he gains the upper hand. Tarrant assaults the Jabberwocky, leading both armies to fight. Alice climbs some ruins of a castle and continues to fight the Jabberwocky. Tarrant faces off against the Knave, easily dominating him. Mally and Bayard are assaulted by the Jub Jub Bird, only for it to be crushed by a catapulted boulder that is accidentally fired by one of the Red Queen's Armored Cards. Alice manages to get on the back of the Jabberwocky, where she is launched into the air with his tail, and then cuts his head off while shouting "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" Everyone witnesses the defeat of the Jabberwocky. The Red Queen orders her troops to kill Alice, but they no longer follow her since the Jabberwocky has been slain. The Armored Cards and the Armored Chess Pieces drop their weapons. Chessur takes the crown from the Red Queen and puts it on the White Queen's head, crowning her as the queen of Underland once again. She banishes her sister to the Outlands along with the Knave. Unable to live with the Red Queen in exile, the Knave attempts to kill her, but is quickly stopped by Tarrant. As the Red Queen and The Knave are carried off, Tarrant does his famous Futterwacken dance. The White Queen collects the blood of the Jabberwocky in a vial, which will send Alice back to the human world. Promising the Hatter that she will return and before receiving her final farewell from him, Alice drinks the blood. Upon returning to the human world, Alice finds herself climbing out of the rabbit hole in the same dress she was wearing for the engagement party, only to look a bit dirty on her appearance from when she fell down the hole. Alice returns to the party where everyone is waiting for her return without revealing what really happened to her since she followed McTwisp. Having found confidence in herself following her adventure in Underland, she declines Hamish's proposal while adding that his digestion is troubled. She tells a few others some things that are secretly reminiscent to those from her adventure and accepts Lord Ascot's offer to become his apprentice, but not before shocking or amusing everyone with a brief version of the Hatter's Futterwacken. Alice begins her voyage to China with her mother, her older sister Margaret and Lord Ascot seeing her off. A blue butterfly lands on Alice's shoulder, which she smiles and replies, "Hello, Absolem." Absolem then flies of. Three years later, in 1874. Alice Kingsleigh is in the second year of her travel through the Orient. She is now the captain of Wonder, the ship which once belonged to her father. As Alice and her crew are leaving the Strait of Malacca, their ship is attacked by Malay pirates. The extreme circumstances that surround the Strait of Malacca, with its dangerous rock formations, and the high number of pirate ships surrounding the Wonder, mades the crew say to Alice that there is no hope and that they should surrender. Alice, however, shuts off this possibility and quickly mentally draws a plan to take them from there without being caught by the pirates nor sinking the Wonder. Although extremely dangerous, the plan eventually works, making the Malay pirates' ships to sink and the Wonder to safely sail out of there in direction of England. One year later, the Wonder arrives in London. Alice disembarks to reencounter her mother, Helen, waiting for her, and ends up meeting James Harcourt, a man who works in the trading company which owns her ship. He informs her that, during her trip, Lord Ascot died, thus passing the ownership of the company to his son, Hamish, who is now Alice's new boss. During a conversation in their house, in which Alice tells her mother about her adventures in the Orient, Helen informs her daughter that Hamish is giving a party in his property that night; Alice immediately volunteers to go, despite not being invited, due to the need of discussing the plans for the future travels of the Wonder to the Orient. That night, Alice and Helen attend Hamish's party. Alice causes an immediate bad impression for wearing a colorful costume which she brought from China; the partygoers, all Victorian people, and thus very ethnocentric, are shocked and offended by how Alice is dressed, with one even accusing her costume of belonging in a circus. Alice, however, is unaffected by their criticisms, and eventually re-encounters Hamish, who is now married to a woman called Alexandra. When she finally tries to discuss her new ideas for trading in the Orient, she discovers that Hamish has very different plans for her and the Wonder. For her great shock, he informs her that she isn't the captain of the ship anymore; indeed, Hamish downgraded her to work as a simple secretary in the company. She also discovers that, while traveling the Orient, Hamish forced Alice's mother to sign a contract which determines that the only way for Alice to maintain the Wonder is by exchanging their house for the ship. Alice realizes that, despite three years having passed since she rejected his marriage offer, and the fact that is he now married to Alexandra, Hamish is still seeking revenge for Alice's attitude to him in the past when she refuses his proposal. When she confronts Hamish about that, he accuses her of not being the right person for commanding the ship, despite her achievements, because she is a woman. Distraught by the situation, Alice argues with her mother, who tries to convince her daughter to conform to the society expectations about women and give the ship to Hamish by saying that every women at one point will have to face sacrifices in life. When Alice refuse to, she secludes herself in a garden in the property. When a blue butterfly lands in a flower, Alice's immediately recognizes it as Absolem, and follows him to a magical mirror in Lord Ascot's old office. Before she is able to pass through the mirror, however, her presence in the office is caught by some partygoers, who call Hamish and tries to invade the office and discover the intruder. Before they are able to open the door, however, Alice goes through the mirror and ends up in a mirrored office in Underland. She re encounters Absolem, who urges her to quickly go to her friends, because "he will be gone before long." After falling through a door in the sky to the White Queen's Castle, she is greeted back by Mirana the White Queen, Nivins the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Mallymkun the Dormouse, Thackery the March Hare, Bayard the Bloodhound, Chessur the Cheshire Cat, and the Bandersnatch. They inform her that Tarrant Hightopp is acting madder than usual in wake that he believes that his family is still alive. They suggest that Alice visits him and tries to comfort Tarrant, which she does by going to his hat house. Tarrant is extremely happy to see her, explaining to Alice that he found a small blue hat in the woods while playing with Bayard. The hat was crafted by him when he was only a child, and supposed thrown away by his father, Zanik, who Tarrant had a fight which he never settled, for his great resentment. He believes that the existence of the hat is the proof that his family is still alive, despite all of the Witzend town perishing in the Horunvendush Day (the day the Red Queen took control of Underland using the Jabberwocky), and he wishes to find them, in order to correct the relationship with his father. Alice points out the improbability of Tarrant's beliefs, remembering how he himself told her during her last trip to Underland how his family was murdered. She tries to comfort him by telling about that she lost her own father too and how she learned to overcome the sadness which his death brought to her, but as Tarrant perceives that she isn't believing him, exactly as the others did, he expels her from his house and locks himself up. Worried by Tarrant's evident deteriorating health, Alice returns to her friends and tells them about what happened. Believing that finding the Hatter's family is the only way to stop him of dying, the White Queen decides that Alice needs to go back in time and save by herself his family from being murdered. She orders Alice to consult Time and ask for the Chronosphere, a device which will allow her to travel back in time. Mirana and Bayard also explains to Alice that she is the only one who can do it because if an Underland resident travels back in time and see their past/future self, time will become irrelevant and destroy itself; because Alice is not from Underland and therefore has no past self in there to accidentally meet, she can safely travel back in time. In the White Queen's Castle, Alice uses an old clock to travel to Time's Castle. Whilst in there, Alice discovers that Time is the one who decides the life and death of everyone of Underland; she witnesses him closing the clock of an old man, thus causing him to die, and then storing the clock in an chamber dedicated to all the dead of Underland. After meeting Time, he shows her the castle, including his minions, little mechanical beings which he calls Seconds. He explains to her the function of the Grand Clock, which maintains all time working, and the fact that it is the Chronosphere what powers it; he also reveals to her that altering the past cannot be done. Alice is disappointed with Time's refusal to lend the Chronosphere to her, but as she is ready to left the castle, she witnesses Iracebeth the Red Queen arriving, thus realizing that she and Time are together. Alice hides and goes to the Grand Clock in the intent of stealing the Chronosphere; while she does it, Iracebeth and Time have a conversation. He gives her a gift, but she doesn't get excited about it; eventually, she cries and says that no one loves her. When Time says that he does love her, she says that if he really did, he would give her the Chronosphere, which Time once again refuses. Their talk is interrupted when Alice removes the Chronosphere from the Grand Clock, causing it and Time himself to start to malfunction. Time order the Seconds to stop Alice of running away with the Chronosphere, which they try to do by linking themselves one to another to form big beings called Minutes. They chase Alice through the Grand Clock, but she is able to activate the Chronosphere and drive it to the Ocean of Time. Time immediately follows behind her in his flying pole which has the same time-traveling ability of the Chronosphere, but not before saying to the Seconds to maintain the Grand Clock working or all time will stop. They do it by joining together to form Minutes, and then Minutes join together to form a gigantic being called Hour. This way, they force the Grand Clock to continue to work and time to do not stop. Meanwhile, Time and Alice race through the Ocean of Time, he trying to stop she from evading while she is still discovering how to drive the Chronosphere. She realizes that the Chronosphere's controls are very close to the ones of a ship, thus allowing her to evade Time. As she attempts to crash the Chronosphere in the wave which shows the Horunvendush Day, she is caught up to by Time and accidentally flies to a day when Witzend still existed. She walks through the town until recognizing a young Tarrant, who is extremely confused by Alice, due to the fact that at this point in time they still had not met. She follows him to discover that she accidentally travelled back in time to the day of the Red Queen's coronation. As Alice hides, she witnesses the failed attempt of coronating Iracebeth, beginning with Tarrant mocking the Red Queen in the front of everyone when the royal crown doesn't fit on her abnormal head. This causes Iracebeth to melt down and to treat everyone who laughed at her. King Oleron, her father, deems her inappropriate to rule, and passes the title of queen to her younger sister, Mirana. Iracebeth is distraught, swearing revenge to the Hightopps due to Tarrant's act. Zanik reprimands his son for making mockery of the queen, but the Hatter doesn't understand the severity of his actions. As the fight escalates up, Tarrant announces that he is leaving the family to live away, to the despair of his mother, Tyva. Before following him, Alice witnesses the Red Queen blaming the White Queen for everything that happened due to a certain situation from when they were children. Alice follows Tarrant and tries to convince him to go back and forgive his father, saying that, in the future, he will regret not doing so, but he refuses to, rather preferring to go live with Mallymkun and Thackery. He invites Alice to come with him to the tea party, but she returns to the town to warn the Hightopps about Iracebeth's revenge, the Horunvendush Day, which will cause their death. As she tries to do so, however, she hears Mirana talking to the Hightopps about the Fell Day, the day which a traumatic event caused Iracebeth to go crazy. Alice realizes that, if she returns to the Fell Day and avoids that event from happening, Iracebeth would not be mocked in her coronation day, thus avoiding the Horunvendush Day of happening too and saving the Hatter's family. As she leaves, Time's falls right in Tarrant, Mallymkun, and Thackery's tea party. He asks for where Alice is, but Tarrant notices that there is something wrong about how Time is desperately asking for her, and tries to avoid him of finding Alice by saying that he invited she to the tea party. Time decides to wait, and Mallymkun and Thackery, despite not knowing Alice at this point, join the Hatter's game in making Time lose time. They make many bad puns about him, which first leaves him unimpressed (as he has heard all of them before), but as Chessur joins the game and Time loses more and more time, he starts to get angry. He starts to malfunction again, due to Seconds as a Hour having a hard time in maintaining the Grand Clock working due to the lack of the Chronosphere. He then loses his patience and asks when Alice is coming; Tarrant says that he never said that Alice was coming, but rather that he invited her. Time is so angry that he puts a curse on the Hatter, Mallymkun, and Thackery so they will always be stuck one minute before tea time until Alice attends the tea party, therefore locking up the three on the table until the day child Alice appears during her first trip to Underland. Time leaves in his flying pole to search for her in another moment in time. Meanwhile, Alice uses the Chronosphere to return to the snowy Fell Day. As she arrives, she encounters a child Tarrant, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, as well as a kitten Chessur and a puppy Bayard. Tarrant is impressed by Alice's head and invites her to his family hat shop, saying that her head will be great for a beautiful hat. Reluctantly, Alice follows him. As they enter the Hightopp's hat shop, Alice meets Zanik. Tarrant explains that he brought Alice there for a hat; he asks her if she wants a fun hat and shows to her some things he can use to create one, including a bird. Zanik reprimands Tarrant, saying that the job of a hatter is not to create "fun hats", but to create hats that will fit what the society dictates. Tarrant tries to defend his arguments by showing him a small blue hat he did, the first of his life. Zanik is unimpressed by it, at first not even recognizing it as a hat, then trying to "fix" it, causing the hat to rip; he then throws it in the trash can. Hurt by his father actions, Tarrant starts to cry and runs away to his bedroom, leaving Alice and Zanik in the hat room. As Zanik tries to show Alice a hat he thinks will sit well in her head, she remembers the reason why she travelled back to the Fell Day, then refuses it and runs aways from the hat shop, searching for Iracebeth in the town. In the castle in the center of Witzend, a child Iracebeth and her sister, Mirana are in the kitchen, enjoying the tarts their mother, Queen Elsemere, baked. Mirana complains that Iracebeth ate all the tarts but one; Iracebeth replies that Mirana can eat the crumbs, which angers her sister. The Queen orders the girls to leave the kitchen if they can't get along; they do it, but Mirana returns and takes the last tart without her mother noticing. She eats it in the bedroom she shares with Iracebeth, shoving the crumbs to under her sister's bed. As Iracebeth enters to feed her ant farm, Queen Elsemere notices that the last tart disappeared and confronts the sisters in their bedroom; she notes the crumbs under Iracebeth's bed and asks if she ate it. Iracebeth denies and says to Mirana confess what she did; Mirana, however, lies by denying that she ate the last tart. With the crumbs under Iracebeth's bed being the "proof" that she ate it, Queen Elsemere accuses Iracebeth of being a liar. Shocked by her sister's lie and the accusation of her mother, Iracebeth starts to cry and runs away from the castle. Alice, still searching for Iracebeth, finally sees her running in her direction. She notices two frogs bringing a heavy clock and then realizes that Iracebeth, whom is crying too much to notice them, is going to hit the frogs, causing the clock to fall on her. Alice runs desperately to try to avoid it from happening; she jumps on the frogs, causing the clock to fall and break on the ground, and avoiding Iracebeth, who then continues to run, from hitting it. At first, it seems that Iracebeth escaped, but as Alice stands up, she sees Iracebeth slip on the snowy ground, fall and then hit her head with force on the edge of a monument adorned with white roses. Her head immediately starts to deform due to the internal bleeding. As she is rescued by the people of Witzend and her family takes her back to the castle, she curses the white roses; it is clear that the accident not only damaged her appearance, but her personality too. Alice, shocked by what happened, remembers the words of Time about not changing the past. She also sees, from the window of the Hightopp's hat shop, Zanik recovering Tarrant's small blue hat from the trash can and guarding it with him in his pocket. She then remembers the first time she saw Time in his castle: after killing the old man by closing his clock, he took it to a chamber where the clocks of the other dead were kept, but there were no Hightopps clocks in there. As Alice prepares to use the Chronosphere to finally travel to the Horunvendush Day and discover what really happened to the Hatter's family in that day, she is confronted by a weakened Time, who was finally able to find her. He scolds her for stealing the Chronosphere and thus putting all time in danger. To prevent Time from taking the Chronosphere away, Alice runs into a nearby mirror and returns to London. She wakes up to discover herself locked up in a mental hospital, under the cares of Doctor Addison Bennett, who accuses Alice from suffering from "female hysteria." Her mother, who is extremely uncomfortable with Alice being in there, explains that, after storming Lord Ascot's old office, Hamish and the others found Alice on the ground, looking under the furniture, talking nonsenses about the "atmosphere", and then he ordered Alice to be locked up in there. Alice realizes that "atmosphere" was actually "Chronosphere", and as the Chronosphere is not with her in there, that it probably fell under the furniture as she returned back to London through the mirror while running away from Time. Doctor Bennett tries to shot a syringe in Alice, but Helen protests. Noticing that Alice's mother is not going to cooperate, Doctor Bennett brings down the syringe and tries to convince her that Alice will be fine while in there. As Helen continues to protest, a nurse pushes her away from Alice's bedroom. Taking advantage from the situation, Alice gets the syringe and shots Doctor Bennett, who passes out. Alice gets his keys and, with the encouragement of her mother, who orders Alice to run away, storms out from the bedroom. She is chased by the hospital staff, but is able to run to the roof of the building without being caught. There, using the skills she learned while in the sea, she jumps to ground, steals a carriage by claiming to the coachman that is insane, and drives back to the Ascot property. Without being seen, she invades Lord Ascot's old office again, finds the Chronosphere under the furniture, and then returns to Underland. This time, she uses the Chronosphere to go straight to the Horunvendush Day. She witnesses the Jabberwocky destroying Witzend, exactly as the Hatter once told her, but then she sees that the Hightopps never died, but were instead captured by the Armoured Cards and taken away, causing the blue hat, which was with Zanik, to fly away from his pocket and fall in the woods. The Red Queen claims revenge for what happened to her during the coronation day and then flies away on the Jabberwocky. Alice immediately returns to the present and goes straight to Tarrant's house, ready to tell him that he was indeed right and that his family were never murdered. However, as she arrives there, she discovers that she is too late, and that the Hatter is bedridden and lifeless, with almost all the color having disappeared from him. Each one of their friends says their final goodbye to Tarrant, leaving Alice alone with him. Alice tries to wake up the Hatter, but he continues to lose color and life. After Alice tearfully says that she believes him, Tarrant awakens and reforms back to his normal self, all the color returning to his hair, eyes and face. The Hatter, Alice, and the rest of their friends decide all go to the Outlands, where the Red Queen is living in an organic castle since her banishment, and where they believe the Hightopps are being held hostages in, to save Tarrant's family. While they travel to there, Iracebeth decides to play with her ant farm, the same she had since her childhood. After tormenting the ants with an "earthquake", she receives the visit of Time, who is very weak. He explains to her that he was unable to catch Alice and that she disappeared with the Chronosphere. Angered with Time's incompetence, she orders her vegetable guards to lock him up and says that from that moment on she's on charge of retrieving the Chronosphere. She is convinced that, one time or another, Alice and her friends will appear in her castle. A moment later, that's exactly what happens, as Alice, Tarrant, Mirana, Nivins, Mallymkun, Thackery, Bayard, and the Bandersnatch all arrive ready to find the Hatter's family. They decide to split out to find Tarrant's family faster. None of them succeed, each one encountering different obstacles along the castle; eventually, Alice and Tarrant are able to make to the last room, in the very top of the castle. Tarrant is confident that he will find his family in there, but after he and Alice search the place, the Hightopps aren't there either. Tarrant falls down, defeated. But as he looks closer, he sees that the ants in the ant farm are trying to pass a message to them: they are drawing a hat! As Tarrant goes inspect it closer, he finally see his long lost family, shrunken and trapped in the ant farm. As they prepare to leave, the Red Queen traps them. She takes them all to where she is keeping Time hostage, takes the Chronosphere from Alice and forces the White Queen to go with her in a time-travel. Time tries to alert Iracebeth about the fact that she cannot time-travel, but she ignores him and does it anyway. After they fly in the Chronosphere, Alice and the others are freed by the vegetable guards, who resent Iracebeth for eating pieces of them. Time, who is now extremely weak, urges Alice to stop Iracebeth from changing the past and thus destroying Underland. Alice regrets stealing the Chronosphere, now seeing with her eyes the state Time is in and the danger to all Underland. She orders that the others take Time to his castle while she and Tarrant use Time's flying pole to go after Iracebeth and Mirana. Using the Chronosphere, Iracebeth takes Mirana straight to the Fell Day. She forces her sister to witness the moment she lied about the tart; when adult Mirana is still incapable of entering the bedroom and telling the truth, an enraged Iracebeth storms in and calls child Mirana a liar. Child Iracebeth screams as she seems her adult self appear; as Iracebeth and her past self see each other, time becomes irrelevant, and both of them rust immediately. Alice and Tarrant are able to find Iracebeth and Mirana, but by the time they get there, the rust is starting to spread. They are able to get adult Iracebeth, now a rust statue, back in the Chronosphere and the four of them travel back to the present, while all of Underland, even the Ocean of Time and all the past, starts to rust. They arrive at Time's Castle, but as Mirana tries to carry Iracebeth, she is herself engulfed by the rust and turns into a rust statue too. Alice and Tarrant, still holding his parents in the ant farm, rushes through the castle in direction of the Grand Clock, where the Chronosphere needs to be put back. But Tarrant is also engulfed by the rust, as are the others who brought Time back to his castle, as they try to help Alice, each on their own way, to get to the Grand Clock. Eventually, Time is able to use his last forces to slow down the rust a little bit so Alice can get a vantage and put the Chronosphere back where it belongs. She gets very close, but before she can do it, she is caught by the rust and turns into a rust statue herself. The rust engulfs all of Underland, leaving everything rusted in time, even the magical mirror in Lord Ascot's old office. When everything seems lost forever, the Chronosphere, which was almost put back in his place by Alice before she turned rust, makes a electrical connection with the Grand Clock engine, and thus starts to work again. As the Grand Clock starts to run, all the rust disappears from Underland, including the Ocean of Time and the past, and everything is back to normal. Iracebeth is shocked and saddened to discover that she couldn't change the past; Mirana, however, finally confesses the truth to Iracebeth and asks for her forgiveness, and Iracebeth, saying that was the only thing she wanted to hear from her sister, forgives Mirana and the two sisters reconcile. Alice also asks for Time's forgiveness for ignoring his warnings, which he gives; to show how sorry and grateful to Time she is, she gives him an old clock which she kept always with herself because it belonged to her father. Tarrant frees his family from the ant farm and uses Upelkuchen to make them grow back to their normal size; he and Zanik finally makes amends. Alice bids her friends farewell, but before returning to London, she confesses to the Hatter that she feels this is the last time they will see each other. Tarrant agree, but says that she doesn't need to feel sad about it, because he will always exist in her imagination and dreams. When Alice points out that a dream is not reality, he remembers her that no one has the right to dictate which is which. As they hold hands, Alice returns to London. It is the day of Helen signing the contract she made with Hamish; Alice arrives, surprising Hamish, and says to her mother to sign it, saying that the Wonder is just a ship, and that others will one day come to her. Upon hearing this, Hamish starts to hysterically laugh as he calls Alice headstrong and dubs her as "everybody's clock", which disgusts Helen. She refuses to sign the contract, ripping it in front of Hamish and saying that she is glad that Alice never married him because he is a horrible person. Although it makes Alice and Helen lose their house, they now have the Wonder just for themselves, making Hamish gets their house for nothing in a completed hollow victory. They create a new trading company called Kingsleigh & Kingsleigh and vows to remove Hamish and his company from the market in just one year. James Harcourt, who also worked for Hamish's company, leaves it and starts to work for Alice and her mother. As the Wonder leaves London, it does with Alice and Helen, together.

//LONDON LOCATIONS// Ascot Manor: the home of the Ascots. It is a British grand mansion where the engagement party of Alice and Hamish was held. The mansion has also a British large garden and a gazebo. The Ascots and several servants live here.

Alice's House: the home of the Kingsleigh family that is located by a river. It has a living room where the meeting was held and Alice's bed among kther rooms. It looks like a typical London house.

The Rabbit hole: the deep tunnel that Alice uses to get to Underland. It is locates close to the riverbank near Alice's House and another nearby Ascot Manor. In the tunnel there are many objects and things, and the walls are filled with books and jars. It resembles a tall and thin house. the objects in the tunnel appear to be floating, and in the bottom of the tunnel there is an armchair full of dry leaves. The tunnel itself leads to the Hall of Doors.

//UNDERLAND// Description: It is a nonsensical realm populated by humans, talking animals and plants, and other magical beings. Laws of physics don't always make sense in Underland. It is ruled through monarchies. Description: Underland is a far more nonsensical world than the one Alice remembered, and it has a solid geography, divided between many regions, including Marmoreal (southeast), Crims (center north), Witzend (west), Iplam (center west), Queast (east), Snud (south), and the Outlands (far west). The Crimson Sea is situated directly north of Underland.

//UNDERLAND REGIONS//

Marmoreal Region: Marmoreal is the kingdom of The White Queen. It has a beautiful pearl-white castle that is the home of Mirana, The White Queen. The palace is very attributed to it's inhabitants which are very white in color. Marmoreal's inhabitants are The White Queen, the Bandersnatch (after befriending Alice), Absolem, the Tweedles, The Dormouse, The March Hare, Bayard and his family and others. There were also The White Queen's knights that were designed like chess pieces. The White Queen's castle and Tarrant Hightopp's House os located in the Marmoreal region.

Crims Region: a centre north region of Underland and was ruled by the Red Queen with an iron fist. It is inhabited by Humans, Talking Animals and Talking Flowers. It consists of Room of Doors, Flower Garden, Tulgey Woods, scarlet Desert, Salazen Grum, Gummer Slough, House of the March Hare and Gummer Slough/The Chess Board.

Witzend Region: a western land where the Mad Hatter is from. The Outlands are located beyond it. The capital city, named after the kingdom, acts as the capital for Witzend. This town was ruled by King Oleron and Queen Elsemere. The region was populated mostly by humans, though some talking animals lived here as well. It was the original home of the Mad hatter, his family, and their hat shop. The entire town and surrounding forest was burned to the ground by the Jabberwocky during the Horunvendush Day (the day the Red Queen took control of Underland), and is currently abandoned. This castle was located in the Witzend Town and the home of King Oleron and Queen Elsemere and the childhood home of the princesses Iracebeth and Mirana.

Outlands: An untamed land to the very far west of Underland. After being banished from Underland, the Red Queen built an organic army and castle here. Vegetable people are originated from here. The outlands consist of Wasteland (The desert wasteland of the Outlands, free of rocks, brush, sticks, of anything that could be used to take one's life) and the Castle of the Red Queen (An organic castle made completely of plant material, shaped like a giant heart-shaped palace clad in crimson red color. It has a number of stairways, hallways and chambers.). Stayne and the former Red Queen were both banished to the Outlands after being defeated by Mirana, the White Queen. Because there was not anything to use to kill himself or her, Stayne begged the White Queen to take off his head, but she did not owe him a kindness. He was also not able to rid himself of Iracebeth, who was furious because of his attempt to murder her.

Time's Castle: Located in a void of infinitude, a pocket dimension within Underland, this is where Time lives. A gigantic, grim, dark, and uninviting castle which has a predominant black color. When seen from the sky, the building itself seems to act like a clock, with three gigantic hands (seconds, minutes and hours) protruding from it and pointing to giant roman numerals. There is an abyss separating the castle and the outside lands.

The Ocean of Time: the place where anyone who possesses the Chronosphere can travel back in time. Its waves reflect moments of the past, and crashing the Chronosphere in it will take the one who is controlling it to travel back to the determined moment.

//UNDERLAND LOCATIONS//

The White Queen's Castle: a gigantic building that stands in the Marmoreal region of Underland. Its architecture is inspired by the pieces and board of a chess game and it is built of white marble. In its interior, a throne room and a kitchen can be found, and in its exterior, a large garden with tall characteristic pink trees and a balcony with a view to tall waterfalls. Queen Mirana rules the castle and live there with her court and her army. Her light and airy castle contrasts the oppressive one her sister, Queen Iracebeth, owns and rules in the Crims. In fact, during the tyrannical reign of the Red Queen, the White Queen's castle served as a refugee site to those who had run away Iracebeth's bloody rule and for those who were fighting to remove her from the command of Underland. The throne room keeps The Champion's Armour.

Salazen Grum: the port city in which the Red Queen lives along with her subjects. It is beyond the Red Desert, which is home to all of the Underland monsters. The Red Queen's palace, Crims is found at Salazar Grum within the Red Desert and it is the most dangerous place in all of Underland. In order to get to Crims, one must first need to cross the Crimson Sea, which is home to many malicious sea dwellers. Many people have died trying to cross both the sea and the desert.

The Red Queen's Castle: made from stone with prominent red heart accents, the same color scheme as the Queen of Hearts card. It has many heart-shaped hedges and it also has gardens with many red roses and hedges cut into the shape of the Red Queen herself. There are many heart-shape designs outside and inside the castle. After the Red Queen's reign ended, she was banished to the Outlands, and the castle fell to ruin. This is where The Red Queen, Bandersnatch, Armoured Cards, Knave of Hearts, Mally, Frog Servants,Fish Servants and the Executioner live. Inside the castle is the Throne Room is where all of the Red Queen's subjects come to greet her. The throne room is a long corridor with large red pillars reaching up to the ceiling. The throne is a small, red heart shaped chair pushed back into a small indent with curtains on either side and a large stained glass window designed with hearts. There are stained windows on the sides of the room giving an illusion of a more spacious feel. The back wall of the entrance has a mural of the Red Queen on the Jabberwocky fighting off a gryphon. The middle section of the floor is checkerboard pattern covered by a red carpet leading up to the heart shaped stairs where the throne is placed. There are two doors on either side of the back wall. In the casfle there is also a courtyard (filled with red rose bushes and a crocket game already set up, the only place in the castle that shows liveliness and greenery), the Hatter's Room (a room is like any other room except it is filled with fashion materials and hat manikins), the Red Queen's Chamber (a room dimly lit with a huge balcony). The Red Queen's castle enslaves animals as furniture, such as flamingos and hedgehogs as croquet mallets or clock holders and balls respectively, monkeys to hold candlesticks, chandeliers, seats, and tabletops, long-beaked birds to hold up portraits and hold chandeliers aloft, pigs as footrests and to hold seats. Outside the castle walls is a moat of heads surrounding the castle with a draw bridge, and in another side it's just a rock and dirt path. Around the interior door of the castle's throne room is a giant mural depicting the Jabberwocky facing the Gryphon. In other rooms (such as the Hatter's workroom), there are framed portraits of the Mock Turtle

House of the March Hare: Located in the Tulgey Wood, the House of the March Hare is a windmill in ruins. This place was once surrounded by lush trees and beautiful flowers, but is now a gloomy wasteland. This is where the Mad Hatter, Thackery Earwicket, Mallymkun, and Chessur enjoy each others company by drinking tea and eating cakes. Alice Kingsleigh visited this place when she first came to Underland when she was a child, and again when she was a young adult.

Tarrant Hightopp's House: Located near the White Queen's castle, the house of Tarrant Hightopp rests atop a cliff surrounded by waterfalls and green mountains. The entire house is modeled to resemble a top hat.

Gummer Slough/The Chess Board: On the Frabjous Day, this large chess board served as the battle ground for the final clash between the armies of the White and Red Queens'. It was also here where Alice Kingsleigh slayed the Jabberwocky.

Witzend Town: this town was ruled by Iracebeth and Mirana's parents, King Oleron and Queen Elsemere. The region was populated mostly by humans, though some talking animals lived here as well. It was the original home of the Mad hatter himself, Tarrant Hightopp, his family, and their hat shop. The entire town and surrounding forest was burned to the ground by the Jabberwocky during the Horunvendush Day (the day the Red Queen took control of Underland), and is currently abandoned.

Tulgey Wood: a location in Underlans, mentioned in the poem Jabberwocky as a creepy forest with dead trees where the The Jabberwocky lives, as well as the Jubjub Bird and the Bandersnatch.
