Hume - or whoever she was - was changing! Her hair, once a beautiful pale blonde, was now a darker pink color. Her kind blue eyes, red and gold. Even her clothes changed, her fairy like outfit changed into something new with black, roses, and even wings! Home's kind image was gone and replaced with something, or someone, else.
"Oh, you know," said her, a voice that was different from her original one "It is so easy to trick the minds of these simple people. All I had to do was pretend to be their hero, someone that they could look up to, respect, maybe even worship. And the only thing I had to do was say I could 'help' them with 'The Evil Queen: Elza Forte!'" She laughed, and her laugh made their knees shake as the darkness of it all seemed to sink to the pit of their stomachs.
"So you separated everyone?" Yume said, against her better judgment. But ... maybe she didn't hear her, she was so quite and -
"Oh I didn't stop at separation," Elza said with a wicked smile "I had to make sure that no one got in my way, you Wonderlanders are so hard to brain wash without any brains you know? Luckily the old Queen of Hearts did my job for me. She is so quick to kill, it was almost too easy,"
Yume felt a pang of anger suddenly. But why was she angry? It was because Elza was allowing innocent people to die! She could have been killed, but others weren't as lucky like ... she knew someone who was killed, she did, she just had to remember. It was ... and then she remembered. Subaru's father was killed, and over roses. And his mother was killed by Elza! This is why she was so angry! Yume squeezed her hand into a fist. Then she remembered something else, something she was holding, a rubber chicken. And Elza was monologuing.
"And so now your story, it seems," Elza went on "Has come to an -"
Smack!
Yume hurled the plastic toy at Elza, grabbed the Hatter's hand, and they ran away.
"See? I told you it was funny," said Subaru as they ran through the woods. "I mean, you through a chicken at her face!" It looked like Subaru wanted to laugh but seemed to be incapable of doing so for the reasons he was running and being chased by an evil queen who wanted them dead.
"Yeah, I guess so," Yume huffed "Did you know she was Elza since she got here?"
"Well I just thought if she had power she would have used it by now,"
"So you put the pieces together!"
"I guess so,"
"You're brilliant!"
"Thank you,"
Suddenly, a ball of power zipped by them and toppled a tree to the ground, blocking their path. They looked behind them, Elza was getting closer.
"Come on!" Said Subaru as he took Yume by the arm and dragged her down a different direction.
Then another ball of magic power shot at them, this time, it hit Subaru's hat and sent it flying away. "My hat!" He cried
"I'll get it," said Yume, sprinting forward to retrieve her friends beloved piece of headgear.
"Oh you poor hatter," said Elza's taunting voice "What are you without your stupid hat,"
In that pure moment of rage, Subaru's had changed to a fist and he fired it at Elza. But she stopped him with a simple flick of her wrist, sending him crashing into the bark of a tree.
"You foolish Hatter's, why do try to fight me?"
"Because you're evil!" He yelled "You've tricked us! Gotten so many killed. You killed my mother!"
Elza grinned a wicked grin "No Subaru, I am your mother,"
"Oh. Well, that's not very sur - WHHHAAAAAT?!!!"
~~~~~
Yume finally got hold of the hat, at last. But Elza wasn't chasing her, she must be fighting Subaru. She had to help, there had to be something in the hat that could help them.
Yume shook that hat violently. "Come on, hat, give me something we can use!" She tried shaking it upside down, like something might come out. But nothing did. Then she reached her hand in, expecting that at any moment she'd hit the top or the bottom or the hat parts. But she didn't. She reached in deeper and deeper until her whole arm was in, all the way up to her shoulder! Yume reached in, then finally her fingers brushed up against something. She grabbed it and pulled it out, maybe it was a sword or weapon or -
It was a microphone. A microphone. How would that help them stop -
"AH!" Subaru cried in pain as he was suddenly flung over, hitting the ground with a loud thump.
"Subaru!" Yume cried
"Ill be taking this," said Elza, grabbing the hat.
"No!" Yume resisted, holding onto the hat as hard as she could.
"No, no, no," said Elza "You wouldn't want it to break, would you?" Yume saw that the hat was being torn apart, she suddenly let go. Elza kicked her and she tumbled onto Subaru.
"Ouch," he said
"This is such a special hat, isn't it?" Elza said, inspecting it closely "Well ... it was nice while it lasted," Then she tore it apart, right down the middle. The two off them, stunned, couldn't seem to find words or movements, or anything. They just stood there, watching the two halves of the hat fall to the ground. "Now," said Elza "It's your turn,"
Elza's fist glowed a dark red color, almost black. They turned into balls of fire, growing larger and larger until -
"HEY!" Called a voice. Elza turned her head just in time to see round rainbow balls being thrown at her like bullets.
Elza actually had to let her feet touch the ground, her wings no longer letting her hover in the air. A figure, swinging from a vine, central over and then actually kicked Elza Forte in her weakness.
It was a girl, her platinum blonde hair was pulled into a bun and her face was hidden by some kind of rabbit like mask. She wore something like armor but more ... stylish. She seemed so fast and agile and quick! Just as she was about to hit Elza with a punch, she vanished (Elza not the girl).
"Wh ... where did she go?" Yume asked, finding the words she could muster after such shock.
"Probably to the Emerald City, getting ready for her taking over the world concert," the girl replied "You're lucky I found you too, and so am I. I'm going to need your help,"
"Help? What help can we do?" Said Subaru
"A lot actually," The girl removed her mask, revealing a very pretty girl from underneath. "I need your help, Subaru," she said
Yume, surprised, turned to her friend. He looked nearly dumbstruck "Alice?"
