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

Ch.16 Crushed

Alice stared face to face with Dr. Bumby, her old enemy.

"It's been a while Alice" Bumby gave a small grin.

"It has been a while" she frowned.

"So your son tells me that you've been living in Wonderland" Bumby said "Is that true?"

"Why of course".

"You haven't changed. Still believing in this Wonderland. You know, your son is a lot like you, same hair, same eyes, same personality, same madness".

"Look Angus" Alice said with a stern look "I know want revenge on me, but you're not going to get it on my son, if you want your revenge, you're gonna have to go through me".

"What?" Alistair said.

"I knew that if I had your son, you'd be coming here to get him. And now that you're here, I can finally do what I should of done a long time ago".

"Mom" Alistair said "I don't know if you should go against him".

"Alistair" Alice said "He wanted me, and I'm not going to let him hurt you guys".

She then took off her purse and gave it to Alistair.

"Hold this for me" she said "I recommend you guys get out of here".

"What?" everyone gasped.

"This is between me and Bumby, now if you go to the back, you'll see a red door, that's another way out".

"But what are you gonna use against him?" Maddie asked.

"Well, I hope you don't mind if I use your weapon Maddie" Alice reached into her knee high boots and pulled out the Vorpal blade "Cause this was my main weapon when I was saving Wonderland".

"Go ahead" Maddie said.

"You guys should go now" Alice said.

"Unless you want to see her get killed" Bumby said.

"You stay out of this" Alice scowled at him, she then turned to the gang "Go".

The gang had no other choice, so they left. Alice then turned to Bumby with the Vorpal sword in her hand.

"You think you can kill me with that?" Bumby asked with a small grin "You little prissy girl".

Alice didn't stop to think, she made a fist and punched Bumby across the face.

"I'm not so prissy any more" she scowled as she used her knee to jab him in the ribs "I've always wanted to do that".

Bumby gave her a mad look, and then he grabbed Alice's throat and began to squeeze it.

"The fun is just beginning" he scowled as Alice stepped on his toes and broke free.

"You've used and abused me" she said "But you will not destroy me".

Meanwhile, the Wonderlandians went to the back of the asylum to search for the red door.

"You think your mother can handle Bumby?" Tony asked Alistair.

"She's battled many monsters before" Alistair said "So I'm sure she can battle him".

"There's the door" Lizzie pointed to the red door.

But before they could get to the door, the Orderlies stepped in and blocked it.

"Well well well" the smaller one grinned "Look who we have here".

"We weren't done with you Wonderboy" the bigger one said.

"Actually" Alistair said as he reached into Alice's purse and pulled out the pepper spray "I think you are".

He then pepper sprayed them in their eyes.

"Not again!" the men cried as the gang shoved them out of the way and went out the door.

"Your mom carries pepper spray with her?" Maddie asked as they ran from the asylum.

"She carries a lot of useful things in her purse" Alistair said as they ran next to a construction area where a building was being built.

Just then, the smaller one jumped in front of them. They turned around and saw the bigger one.

"We've got yah this time" the bigger one growled.

Alistair then pulled out the pepper spray.

"I will use this" he warned the Orderlies.

But the men got closer to them.

"We're not afraid" the smaller one said as they got closer.

Alistair then tried to spray them, but nothing came out.

"And it's empty" he said with disappointment "Great".

"Let's get them" the smaller one said with a stern look as they went towards them.

"I don't think so" Maddie said as she reached into her hat and pulled out a bottle of sand.

"What's that's gonna do?" the smaller one chuckled.

"This" she said as she poured the sand on them and they poofed.

Now in front of the gang were 2 ducks.

"Was that duck sand?" Alistair asked.

"Yep" Maddie said "And now these guys can't get us".

"Yeah" Kitty agreed, she then went up to the ducks and hissed at them.

The ducks quacked as they flew away. But the ducks flew to the top of the unmade building and landed near a loose pipe, the ducks gave each other sneaky looks as they moved a piece of wood that was holding onto the thick heavy pipe, and the pipe fell off the building. Maddie noticed the pipe falling off the building, and she saw that it was about to fall on Alistair!

"Alistair look out!" she yelled as she ran to him and shoved him out of the way.

Alistair got up and looked up, and to his horror, the pipe had landed on Maddie.

"Maddie!" he screamed as everyone ran to Maddie who had the heavy pipe crushing her.

"Get this off her" Alistair said as they all used their strength to get the pipe off of Maddie.

"Maddie!" everyone gasped.

"Ok" Maddie said and she put her hand on her rib cage where the pipe had fallen on her "This hurts more than the electric chair".

Maddie then gave a small yelp as she felt a strong pain.

"Oh my gosh" Lizzie gasped.

"Maddie" Alistair said "You saved me".

"People do crazy things to protect the ones they love" Maddie smiled in pain.

She gave another cry as she felt the bones of her rib cage poking her lungs.

"I think my rib cage is broken" she said.

"Oh no" Bunny gasped.

"We need to get her to a hospital" Cari said.

"But I don't know where the hospital is" Alistair said "And there's no one around to help us".

"Alice can" Lizzie said "She's been to the hospital here before to treat her burns, she must know where it is. Alistair, go get Alice".

"But she's with Bumby" he said.

"I know, but if we don't get Maddie fixed, she could die".

Alistair looked at Maddie with a sad look.

"Alistair" Maddie clenched in pain "Go get Alice, she could also use some help".

"But-" was all Alistair could say.

"We'll take care of her" Cari said "But you need to get Alice".

Alistair knew what he had to do.

"All right" he said, he then turned to Maddie "You're gonna be fine".

He then ran to the asylum, caused he had 2 lives to save, Maddie and his mother.
