Bryan stares in shock and confusion as he sees the queen's face for the first time. She's most definitely Baby: red hair, green eyes, and red funtime cheeks. How could Bryan not tell before? She's the same height as Baby.  The only differences are her hairstyle and the sinister look in her eyes. A look Baby had never given before.

"So...from what I heard...you're the one running around MY kingdom...along with all your little friends...plotting against me," The Queen says in an intimidating tone.

"N-no! I-we're not plotting against yo-you. I just..." Bryan stutters.

"Why so nervous? Are you that scared of admitting your treasonous acts?" The Queen asks.

"Ba-Uh...Y-Your highness? I...I don't want to hurt you in any way, I swear it," Bryan states. "B-but...why-,"

"Silence! I will not listen to your petty lies. You Alices are all the same. You come down here to bring misery and misfortune to whoever crosses your path. I even heard that Cook attacked three of my best guards with pepper!" The Queen says, glaring at Cook.

"Your highness, please don't punish me! I'm not with them, I promise!" Duchess pleads.

"Duchess...honestly, I don't give a damn about you. Why did you guards even bring her here?" The Queen asks, irritated.

"We thought she was with the Alice, my queen,"  The Head Guard explains.

"Ugh...whatever. Just get her out of my palace," The Queen demands.

"Oh thank you, my queen, thank you!" Duchess cries out of joy as the head guard takes the handcuffs off her. 

"Wait, Duchess! You can't just leave us here," Dee calls out in shock.

"Sure I can. I'm just gonna find my precious baby and go back home. And Cook, you're fired. You're clearly not getting out of here, so I won't be needing you anymore," Duchess informs as she walks out the throne room.

"Why did I work for her again?" Cook wonders to herself.

"Your highness, I-I want you to answer something," Bryan states.

"What?" The Queen says, permitting Bryan to ask his question.

"Why do you hate Alices? Whenever someone new comes to Wonderland, you execute them...or...at least that's what I heard," Bryan asks. The Queen doesn't respond for a while and looks back at the large stained-glass window. 

"That's...a very personal thing to talk about with the likes of you. You see...I used to know an Alice years ago...and I...ended up making a mistake that costed our friendship. They also took hold of an extremely powerful weapon that only they can control and placed a curse over Wonderland: Time stopped dead at 6 pm, everyone went insane, Alices are singled out by wearing light-blue, etc. This curse ruined me and the people I reign over. So I must prevent any other Alices from grasping such power as mine did and ruining the very land I try so hard to protect," The Queen explains. 

"I-I don't understand. How can I get that kind of power if I don't even know what weapon they used to begin with?" Bryan questions.

"Of course your feeble, naive mind wouldn't understand what it's like to be the ruler over an entire land.  As queen, I must take precautionary actions to keep the downfall of this world from happening," The Queen states, turning to Bryan once more.

"I swear Ba-Your Majesty, I have no intentions AT ALL of ruining Wonderland. I would never do that to you or your people. I only want to go back to my friends. If we have some sort of agreement, I'm sure that we'll-" Bryan tries to explain, but is cut off by the queen.

"SILENCE!!!" The Queen yells. "I will not negotiate with a sneaky little Alice like you! You wouldn't understand the pain I had to endure in those dark times,"

"Then help me understand. You keep saying I don't understand what the pain feels like, but you refuse to talk to me about it. I'm sure if you open up to me fully, you'll feel much better," Bryan states. "Can't there be a solution other than killing me?" 

The Queen stays silent as her angry expression changes to a frown.

"Please...your highness...let us go...and I promise we can work something out so nobody has to die ever again," Bryan promises.

The Queen keeps the same face but then speaks once again.

"...Off with his head!" She demands.

"Wait, what?!" Bryan cries out.

"I will not make the same mistake again. The last time I trusted an Alice, everything went to hell," The Queen states. "You really are naive, aren't you? Do you think you can just attempt to manipulate me, The Queen Of Hearts, and succeed?"

"N-No! I-" Bryan tries to explain.

"You're not special. You're just human. Humans die eventually. And your time is now," The Queen says. Something about what Baby said made Bryan feel an intense sadness...as if he had heard her say it before.

"Now...take him to the execution room and take the rest to the dungeon," The Queen orders.

The card guards grab them one by one and begin to take them out of the throne room.

"No, Your highness, please don't do this! I can't die here!" Bryan cries as he's being taken out. 

But before any of them can leave, the large throne room doors close, leaving everyone in confusion. One of the card-guards attempt to open the doors, but is unsuccessful.

"My queen, the doors won't open," The guard announces.

"What? Why did it just-" The Queen begins to speak, but is interrupted as the whole stained-glass window behind her shatters. 

The Queen quickly turns to it and covers her face with her arms to prevent any damage from the glass. When she looks up, she can see a figure within the rays of the sun.

"So...still haven't changed...eh Queenie?" The mysterious figure asks. The voice of the figure makes the Queen step back in shock and Bryan's blood run cold. The voice of the mystery person is too hard to forget. 

They step out of the sun's rays to make their introduction clearer. The mysterious figure is none other than...

 The mysterious figure is none other than
