Abbie would push the door open, walking into the open area with Miss Circle, Edward and Bubble. The four had their weapons ready, in case there was a suprise attack. After walking for a few minutes, Engel would pop out from behind one of the pillars, rushing at the Four. "Engel..?!" Abbie said, confused at why Engel of all people would appear.

Engel would swing at Abbie, only for Abbie to duck. Engel seemed determined, but the Swing made an Opening for Abbie to tackle him to the floor. "Engel, i need you to listen to me.." Abbie said, wanting to see if this was possible. Engel would resist as Abbie had him pinned. "Engel! Come on!" Abbie said, this would continue for a minute or two, Engel seemingly starting to cry, with it coming out as a black liquid from the eye he still had. "Engel, please. We are so close to defeating that tyrant, you need to help us.." Abbie said, trying to say it in a calmer tone. Eventually Engel would stop resisting, looking at Abbie. "I.. i don't know.. what if you're wrong.." Engel said. He was conflicted. "Even if we are, would you rather die standing, or live kneeling?" Abbie said. Engel had pretty much stopped Resisting, so Abbie would get off of him. Engel would lay on the ground, before getting up, extending his hand to Abbie. "I.. i'm with you." Engel said. Abbie would smile, shaking Engel's hand. "Good to see you back.." Abbie said. A growl would ring through the room, before a voice would speak. "Pathetic, Engel.. I expected better.. no matter, you aren't key to my plans.. I'll kill you ALL the same.." the Voice was Alice's, she seemed displeased with Engel rebelling.

After Alice spoke, Edward would walk up to Engel, handing him the Hatchet he had. "You need a weapon, dont you..?" Edward said. "Yeah," Engel replied. He seemed much more sure he made the right choice.

Soon, Alice would enter the large room, the noise of her footsteps bouncing off the walls and filling the room. Everyone would turn to the source, getting ready for a fight. "Hm, you all really think you can stop me..? You're all pathetic, really.." Alice said, "well, let us get this over with.." a Scythe would materialize in Alice's hands. It looked hellish, a dark blade accented with Red, and many other features, even an eye marked into the blade. Alice planned to seperate them and kill them one by one.

The group would get ready as Alice began to walk over, holding their weapons defensively. Meanwhile, Alice calmly approached, after reaching halfway, she would summon spikes. Abbie would notice, pushing Bubble out of the way "look out!" Abbie said, even though they were headed for him.  Edward would back away from the spikes as they approached, being safe. But now they were seperated with Engel and Edward on one side, and Miss Circle, Bubble and Abbie on the other. "Shit.." Abbie said, getting up. Alice would laugh mockingly. Suddenly, the ground would begin to shake as the ground diverged to create a ravine between the trio and duo. Alice decided to focus on splitting Edward and Engel first, so she could get to the fun part. She would teleport onto the Duo's platform, and Engel would attempt to swing, only to miss as Alice dodged. "Pathetic." She would raise a big chunk of the floor up, before doing a manuever, kicking Engel onto it with a strong kick, breaking one of his ribs. "Agh!" Engel let out a noise of Pain as he got kicked, and when he collided with the mass.

Alice would chuckle, before looking to Edward, pointing her sycthe at him. She didnt move closer at all. Edward would hold his Wrench nervously, before noticing one of Bubble's shortswords, that she dropped when Abbie pushed her out of the way. Edward would reach for it. Alice would allow him to.

Meanwhile...

"We have got to help them somehow!" Abbie said, looking to Miss Circle. "I have an idea," Miss Circle said, grabbing her pistol and aiming at Alice, and firing. Alice would hear the gun fire, and she would move out of the way of it, genuinely angered "That the best you got?" She shouted over, before looking at Edward. "You, i have more important matters to attend to.. so, have fun with her." Alice said, dissapearing in smoke as more platforms appeared. In her place, was a now Puppeted Zip, making Edward Jump. "Z-zip?!" He said, holding the shortsword in front of him. Zip wouldnt respond. She had her head still split open from the Axe, and she held her fencing sword. Without warning, she would suddenly lunge at Edward.

With Engel...

Engel would finally get up, holding his lower chest as he had gotten a rib broken. "Ugh.." he would look around, only to see.. Claire? But, no... that isnt claire. It looked like Claire, but her body was mutilated and morphed into some kind of creature. "C-claire, are you in there..?" Engel asked. There was no response. Claire's eye sockets were empty, no emotion. She was an experiment by Alice to create a stronger and more loyal Soldier. Engel had no choice but to fight.

With the Trio..

Miss Circle would decide to reload the bullet she shot, now nervous as Alice had Dissapeared. "Keep an eye out.." Miss Circle said. Suddenly, Alice would appear, dropkicking Miss Circle onto a nearby platformn, and laughing maniacally. She would then look to Abbie. "Oh, well look who it is.. the man who killed my boyfriend himself.." She said, smiling manically. "You terror ends here, Alice.." Abbie said, his voice faltering slightly. "Oh, i believe it has just begun.. Come on, hit me." Alice said, taunting him. Bubble was near, wondering if she should attack or not. Abbie would decide to try and strike her neck, only to be blocked by Alice's scythe. His blade would slide against Alice's. Once Abbie was turning due to the overshoot, Alice would manuever her Scythe to cut Abbie in the side, causing a deep gash, before kicking Abbie away, onto a seperate Platform. That was when Bubble would strike, slicing Alice across the back. It did cause pain, and some damage. "Agh! You.. say Goodbye.." Alice said, genuinely angered. She would spin her scythe as she turned and started walking towards Bubble, with Bubble starting to back away.
