Alice, Kirito, and Eugeo were venturing through the end mountains. They had found ice, thanks to Kirito's idea, and were trying to find the way back to their village. However, they had taken a wrong turn. They had stumbled upon the Dark Territory and witnessed a battle between an Integrity Knight and a Dark Knight. When the Dark Knight fell and reached out for help, Kirito and Alice went into a trance. Eugeo had cought Alice, stopping her but Kirito kept going. Soon, he tripped and fell, the tips of his fingers touching the ground of the Dark Territory. Alice quickly helped him up but then a face appeared. "A Singular Unit has been Detected. Coordinates fixed." Before fading away, Kirito hadn't noticed as he was in his trance. Eugeo and Alice quickly took their friend out of the cave. Kirito had snapped out of it and was his normal self. All was going to be well. Or so the trio thought. 

That night, neither Alice or Eugeo could sleep. Nightmares haunted their sleep and after her first nightmare. Alice began to cry. "What'll happen to Kirito...." she whimpered as she made a fist. "I... he... what if a Knight comes tomorrow? I can't let that happen..." she held her hand over her right eye. She then spoke with an unwavering resolve, something that was uncommon for a small girl. Especially at age 11. "If a Knight comes......" she spoke as she stood up. "If it wants Kirito, then he'll have to fight.." Alice then looked out her window and closed her eyes. "I promised to protect you boys, Kirito, Eugeo." She then smiled and went back to sleep. She awoke just the same as usual. Nothing was out of the ordinary, but at lunchtime, that all changed. An Integrity Knight flew overhead and landed in the Square. Kirito and Eugeo had arrived. Alice stood back, and when the Knight asked for Kirito, saying he'd be executed for crossing into the dark territory. She found herself hesitating for a moment before she ran up to the Knight. "Sir Knight!" She shouted and he looked to her. "Speak." He told her. "It's not Kirito's fault!" Alice cried out, "He never set foot in the Dark Territory, it was an accident!" Alice told him. "He tripped over a rock and the tips of his fingers touched the ground in the Dark Territory!" Upon hearing this, the Knight went stiff and his eyes seemed to soften for a moment. For an incredibly brief moment, Alice thought that their might be a chance. But then his eyes went hard. "That is enough to charge him with the crime." He told her. Alice stiffened and her hair covered her eyes. Kirito, however, charged at the Integrity Knight with an axe. The knight sent a shockwave at him but Kirito, in his frenzy, had narrowly avoided it before attempting to bring the axe down upon the Knight. Quickly drawing his sword, the Knight blocked the strike with little effort,  the knight then disarmed Kirito. Alice began to feel an emotion that was foreign to her. Hatred. The Knight tied Kirito to its dragon and moved to leave. Eugeo, bound by the seal in his right eye, was forced to stand and watch. But Alice then collapsed while whispering "Burst element...." the knight was hit by the attack but was practically immune to it, then it looked at Eugeo before leaving.
