Knave ran toward Hatter, sword drawn. The Hatter fought back and the well-ordered duel erupted into a full-scale battle with Helaena and the Jabberwocky in the eye of the storm. During the battle, Bayard and Mally took on the JubJub bird. Cheshire disappeared and reappeared to confuse the Red Knights while the rest of the White queens army dueled against the red queens army. The Bandersnatch battled four Red Knights. the Tweedles fought back-to-back with perfect precision and timing and not a single argument possibly for the first time in their lives.
March Hare however stared upward, paralyzed with fear until he got slammed by a Red Knight. Then he went crazy, throwing things like a wild man. But we are all a little bit mad in wonderland.
Helaena leapt onto the Jabberwocky, pulling herself up his scales. He twisted and snapped trying to shake her off. The Vorpal Sword practically pulled itself out of her hand in its relentless pursuit of the Jabberwockys head.
Helaena made her way to the Jabberwocky's vest where she clung trying to slash its neck with the sword. The vest buttons strain with Helaena's weight pulling it down. They snap...one... two... three... only one left holding the vest on by a thread. Helaena could barely hold onto the slashing Sword. Just as the last button gives way, she propelled herself into the air. Hatter looked to Helaena and thought she was about to splat on the ground but she flew up, a true warrior.
"OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" Helaena declared.
With one powerful thrust, she cut off the Jabberwocky's head. Both Helaena and the head fall at once, the Jabberwocky's jaws still snapping at her in its death throes. Helaena hit the ground hard. The Jabberwocky's head rolled a few feet away. She lay on the ground, breathing heavily. Hatter ran to her helping her up. She offered him a smile as she picked up the Jabberwocky's head, carried it to the Red Queen and dropped it at her feet.
The Queen pointed to Helaena incredulously and Hatter feared for her head but Helaena stood tall. She had been scared and silenced for too long.
"Kill her!" The red queen demanded and Hatter moved forward to fend them off but the nearest Red Knight threw down his weapon.
"We follow you no more... bloody big head." The red knight declared.
"How dare you!" The red queen demanded pointing a finger at him as she held her head high. "Off with his head!" The other Red Knights tossed their weapons down.
The crown lifted off the Red Queen's head. She snatched for it as it floated over to the White Queen where it gently lowered to her head. The Cheshire Cat materializes next to her. The white queen smiled pleasantly, the crown was where it belonged.
"Iracebeth of Crims, your crimes against Underland are worthy of death. But that is against my vows. Therefore, you are banished to the Outlands. No one is to show you any kindness or ever speak a word to you." The white queen informed her sister. "You will have not a friend in the world."
Knave bowed deeply to the White Queen as he stepped forward.
"Majesty I hope you bear me no ill will." Knave offered.
"Except this one. Ilosovic Knave you will join Iracebeth in banishment from this day until the end of Underland." The white queen remarked and he snapped up, his face pinched in anger, an eternity with that women? The White Knights grabbed Knave and chained him to Iracebeth.
"At least, we have each other." The red queen offered smiling happily back at him. In a last panic, Knave pulled a knife and tried to stab her. She screamed out an ear pinching scream. The Hatter knocked the knife away. Knave dropped to his knees before the White Queen.
"Kill me...please." Knave begged
"But I do not owe you a kindness." The white queen countered. Red and White Knights dragged them away.
"You tried to kill me! YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!" The red queen shouted in protest. The Hatter burst into an enthusiastic dance.
"Oh Frabjous Day!"
"Callou! Callay!" they declared as Hatter took a step back.
"What is he doing?" Helaena questioned watching the hatter move.
"Futterwacken." Cheshire remarked. The Hatter pulled Helaena into the dance. It was a wild, wacky joyous dance, legs and arms flying all over the place and when it was done...Hatter kissed her. Helaena melted into him happily.
Cheshire put a comforting arm around a disappointed Mally. The White Queen leaned down to the still bleeding Jabberwocky's neck to catch a drop of its blood into a vial.
"And blood of the Jabberwocky. You have our everlasting gratitude. And for your efforts on our behalf..." The white queen remarked and handed the vial to her.
"Will this take me home?"
"If that is what you choose." The white queen agreed. Helaena lifted the vial. The Hatter put his hand on hers.
"You could stay." hatter countered hopefully.
''What an idea... a crazy, mad wonderful idea.'' She looked at the strange and wonderful beings she's met in this strange and wonderful place.
"You won't forget me, will you Helaena?"
"I couldn't ever possibly forget you." Helaena assured kissing him again.
