Return to 'London' (An E.A.H/Madness returns fanfic)

Ch.2 Hero Training

It was now Monday, and Alistair had to go to Hero Training with Dr. King Charming. Maddie, Lizzie, Kitty, and Bunny sat on the bleachers and watched as Alistair and the class stood in the football field.

"Future heroes" King Charming said "Today's lesson is about sword fighting".

"Yes!" Daring exclaimed.

"So everyone get a sword" King Charming said as the guys took swords out of a barrel. They then got in a line as a knight appeared.

"You guys will be fighting this knight" King Charming said "Don't worry he wont hurt you, but this is to prepare you for future battles".

"I can handle this" Alistair said to himself, remembering that he had battled many villains in Wonderland and had defeated them.

"Alistair" King Charming said "You handy with a sword?"

"Sure" Alistair shrugged.

"Would you like to go first?"

"Um, ok".

But just as he went up to the knight, Sparrow gave a sneaky smile as he slid a beetle into Alistair's shirt, Alistair had no idea what happened as he went up to the knight. But he then started to feel the beetle moving around him, he started to twitch. Everyone watched as he twitched some more, Sparrow gave a chuckle as he watch the Wonderboy try to get the beetle out.

The girls couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"That Sparrow!" Lizzie frowned "I saw him put that beetle in Alistair's shirt".

"I saw it too" Bunny said.

They then watched as Alistair tripped over a bench and fall onto the ground and the beetle crawled out of his shirt and into the grass.

"You ok?" Dexter asked.

"I-I guess" Alistair said as he got up.

"What happened?"

"I felt something crawl all over me".

"Well whatever it was it's gone now".

"So um, you still wanna fight?" the knight asked.

After that, Alistair met up with the girls on the bleachers.

"Well that was embarrassing" he said.

"Alistair" Lizzie said "We saw Sparrow put a beetle down your shirt, it was his fault".

"What? Why would he do that?"

"He's like that, no wonder he's in General Villainy".

"But, his dad wasn't evil".

"Well he was a thief".

"But he did it for good".

"Yeah it's kinda confusing".

"You know" Maddie said "I've always wondered who's the knight" she pointed to the knight who was cleaning up the football field.

"Should we ask him?" Maddie asked.

"I don't know" Bunny said "Maybe he wants to keep his identity a secret".

"I can try to find out" Kitty grinned.

"Kitty" Alistair sighed.

"I mean, I can just go invisible and sneak up on him and take his helmet off".

"That would work" Maddie said "But I think Bunny's right, maybe he wants to keep his identity a secret".

"So, um, you girls hungry for some pizza" Alistair asked.

The girls agreed as they all left the field. When they were gone, the knight went behind the bleachers and took off the helmet swaying her long pale blonde hair. Darling was glad they didn't suspect her as the knight.

As the Wonderlandians were having pizza in the Village of Book ends, Maddie noticed Alistair was thinking of something.

"Alistair" she said "What are you thinking of".

"Well, I just can't stop thinking about how the Dollmaker came back. And if Dr. Bumby really is back".

"I've been thinking the same thing too" Cari said "But I just can't seem to figure it out".

"My theory is that he wasn't really dead before" Tony said.

"That could be it" Alistair said "But it could be something else".

"Should we ask Alice?" Tammy asked.

"I might later" Alistair said "She's probably busy right now. I wonder what she does now a days".

In Wonderland, Alice was fleeing from a bandersnatch as she ran through the Tulgey woods (Pic of Tulgey woods with bandersnatch). She jumped over a tree stump, but the beast jumped over it and continued running after her. She looked around the woods for anything she could use to escape or defend the bandersnatch. She then spotted a magenta flower with purple berries hanging off it. She grabbed the berries as she ran pass them and one by one she threw them at the bandersnatch causing them to explode a green gas. The gas let out a gross stench which made the beast's eyes water. But when Alice looked up, she saw a tree trunk above her. So she grabbed it with both hands and swang herself up and stood on the tree. She looked down at the bandersnatch, the beast tried to get her, but it couldn't reach her. So it gave one last growl and ran away. Alice was used to these things happening, but she knew what to do. After all, she was the heroine of Wonderland.

Wow, Darling is the knight?!

Cool huh? Anyway, more coming soon
