Coraline x Alice in Wonderland

Saving Hatter

As soon as the sunrise set on top of the mountains near the Golden Kingdom, the castle walls had already set their grand window's open and guards prepared outside of the royal court

But it wasn't a preparation for another usual royalty business

But a rescue mission

From the study hall, Alice, the Queen and tbe amogst others had already assembled for their plan

The Engineer, threw a few sets of old scrolls filled with illustrations and written notes on the dried paper

"I remembered all the Red Kingdom's secret floors and doors underground, this shpuld be easy for us to sneak around unless there were guards scouting nearby..."

"How are you sure about this, Eggs?" Neil asked in wonder

The Engineer smug "Because I was the one thay built the castle..."

"including the once I haven't told anymore, however right now...this is the right moment to use..."

They all nodded and proceeded to go through their strategy

"The secret passagemway has two doors one leads to the Queen's chambers and the other was on the prison cell...specifically where Hatter was...but there is one little problem..."

"And that is?" Misty, resting on Coraline's shoulder scrunched up her nose

"We need a code to open the prison cell...it was some sort of spell actually..and only I, a forefather could open it..."

Coraline suddenly shuddered in realization on the hem of her skirt

She quickly roamed her pockets to grab something

"Eggs, before Hatter was captured....he told me to give you this?" Reaching the piece of pamphlet towards the Engineer, he slowly anaylzed the written ink inside the old paper

He gasped in astonishment as soon as he realized the familiar scribbled ink

"By gears and wires...this is..." he whispered "this must be the secret code of the prison door.."

"How in the world he knew?..." The Queen asked in bewilderment

"All I could say that he's one hell of genius Hatter..." Eggs smiled and hid the pamphlet on his armor

"That's it, we're all set! We could save Hatter right here, right now, let's go!"

Eggs quickly stood up and grabbed his enchanted gauntlets on the table when to his surprise the Queen gribbed his arm to stop him

"I'll deliver my soldiers to assist you, Engineer..." her voice tensed in worry

Alice stood up from her seat "We can't let your men risk with this mission your Highness..."

"Alice is right, My Queen, we can't let your men risk their lives...not this time..." he smiled as he implied Hatter's sacrifice, he could feel her hand tightened even stronger, still not letting him go

"But I can't risk you as well, Eggs....we need you..." her voice stayed low as she said those words

"I need you..." she whispered softly

He couldn't help but to place his hand on her as well

"And you won't, Your highness..." he whispered and the Queen finally let go of her hand, still resisting in doubt if that was the decision

"Though we need to get to the garden fast..." Misty muttered as soon as she had noticed a large wall from the map "the wall is humongous, how can we even-"
