It has now been 5 days since the initial takeover of Alice. Abbie and the group have used the past 3 to train themselves in using weapons they found in the museum.

Edward would be looking out one of the cracks in the barricade on the window. The street was empty, as always. Zip would walk up to him. "What'cha lookin for?" Zip asked, standing next to Edward. "Nothing.. just wondering if we will be able to make it out." Edward said, looking over at Zip. "Dont worry, im sure we will.. we are doing much better now that we are armed." Zip responded, placing her hand onto Edward's shoulder. "Yeah.." Edward would smile softly.

Somewhere else in the museum, Abbie was reading the text under the sword he had been using as his own. Apperently, it had been owned by a great general in conquest. "Interesting," he said to himself. Abbie would sit down on a bench, looking at the floor. He had plans of fighting Alice head-on, but he didnt know if anyone else would be on board.

Elsewhere, Miss Thavel and Miss Circle were talking.

"These weapons likley wont do a thing against those.. things." Miss Thavel said, looking at the Double-barrel pistol in her hand. "What makes you say that?" Miss Circle asked. "They can be knocked out, so i imagine they can be killed." She continued, looking at Miss Thavel. "Even then, we probably wont make a dent in their forces before getting killed ourselves." Miss Thavel said. "We are just six people, armed with napoleonic era weapons and medieval melee weapons. What makes you think we would have much of a chance against an army of puppets?"

A few hours later, Abbie would gather everyone into the main area of the museum, to speak.
"Hello, Everyone." Abbie said. "I have been thinking about this, and i have an idea." He said. "We need to start fighting Alice's army." "What? You can be serious.." Miss thavel said, frowning at Abbie. "Look, i'm just saying.. we cant let Alice execute whatever plans she has in mind." Abbie said, looking at Miss Thavel. "And you think Muskets and swords is gonna stop them?" Miss Thavel said, Chuckling. "You must be stupid, well, Even dumber than your grades say..."
"Well, I'd rather Die fighting than Die cowering to a Tyrant.." Abbie said. "I dont care if you guys dont support it, im going and im fighting for the people lost." He said, seeming a little angry.

Edward would decide to stand up, walking over to Abbie. Abbie would look at Edward, confused. Until Edward placed his hand onto Abbie's shoulder. "I'm with you." Edward said, a little hesitant. But he still said it. Zip would soon join Edward, then Bubble, then Even Miss Circle. Miss Thavel would look at them, hesitant. Until she would stand up. "If i Die, and i become a Puppet, im killing you first, Abbie." Miss Thavel said. Abbie would nod, understanding. "We will leave in the morning.." Abbie said. Even he was nervous.

The next morning, all of them were ready. Edward had a Hatchet, and a Wrench. Zip had a Fencing sword, and a Flintlock pistol. Abbie had a Sword, and a Blunderbus. Bubble had two shortswords.  Miss Circle also had a Sword, and a Double-barrel pistol, while Miss Thavel had Throwing Daggers and a flintlock.

"Okay.. are we ready?" Abbie said, in front of the main door. "Yeah.." Bubble said, clearly Nervous, but determined. "Okay.." Abbie said. He would push open the door, still struggling a bit, before walking outside. The street was empty. "So.. we should head to the school. Its near the center of town. But we should be sneaky.. got it?" Abbie said, looking at the group. They all would nod.

After about 4 hours of travel, Abbie and the group would end up in a house just across the street from the school. "Okay, almost there.. wait, is that.. marching?" Abbie said. "You guys, wait here.." "got it, i'll watch over these guys.." Miss Circle said. Abbie would head upstairs, which had the roof basically gone. He would then look out the window, into the street. "Oh my god.." Abbie saw possibly Hundreds of Puppets, marching in Formation. A few carried banners with the symbol Alice had. Abbie would decide to look over to the school, seeing both Alice and Oliver on the Crumbled second floor of the school, watching the march take place. "Shit.." he would duck out of the veiw of the window, in case they looked over.

Meanwhile,
"Hey Oliver. I saw someone looking out the window in that house.." Alice said, looking to Oliver. "Go over there, and Grab it."
