After Spike and his new team left Travers Town, they spent a good bit of time traveling through what looked to be space, it was one of the most amazing things Spike's ever seen, traveling through this Gummi Ship, to other worlds where they each could be unique and different. It was an exciting adventure from just the sound of it, it was something Spike's never experienced before, and now he's going through it without Twilight or anyone else.

While Spike is still worried on how he's gonna find his way back home to Equestria, if there's a threat out there that could threaten his own home, he had to make sure these Heartless are stopped for good. Donald and Goofy were pretty fun people to hang around with already, they seemed goofy yet strong at the same time, and Sora felt like a good friend who will always look out for him, and Spike felt like they could make a strong team the more they travel together.

But eventually, after a while of traveling through space in the Gummi Ship, avoiding enemy ships and obstacles, they found themselves nearing what looked like a new world, it looked like it would be full of twists and turns around each corner, and Spike wonders what this world will have.
"Man, that world looks like it's gonna be strange, you guys ready to go?" Spike asked as they all could see it from the ship.

"I'm more then ready, what about you guys?" Sora asked looking at Donald and Goofy who looked confident with this.

"Let's see what's there!" Goofy said with a funny laugh again.

"Let's all go!" Donald announced as he waved his staff around and they all vanished from the Gummi Ship, and all traveled directly into this new world..

The first thing Spike felt was his body suddenly feeling weightless, he tried focusing his vision and seeing where they were, they looked to be falling down a strange rabbit hole of sorts, there were stuff floating around in the air, and this place felt so wacky and unreal just from the first few seconds of waking up.

"Whoa.. what world is this?" Spike asked with surprise as they all floated down to the bottom pit, Spike, Sora and Donald landed on they're feet, while Goofy landed on his face after trying to relax in a funny way, Spike helped him up and they looked around for what to do now.

"So.. what do we do right now guys?" Sora asked as they tried looking for a way out of here.

But as they kept thinking over what to do, they suddenly heard footsteps running by and saw a strange looking rabbit with a clock running directly past them.
"Oh my fur and whiskers! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" The rabbit said with fear which confused them all.

"Late for what?" Spike asked confused looking at Sora who didn't know what to say either as the rabbit kept on running.

"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! I should be there! I'm late, I'm late! Oh the queen, she'll have my head for sure!" The rabbit said with fear as he ran down an odd looking path, and that just left them curious on what just happened.

"Um.. Donald.. do you know where we just landed anyway? Or what just happened there?" Spike asked hoping Donald knew something right now.

"I checked the details on this place, it's said to be called.. Wonderland, I can already see why it's called that." Donald answered while they looked over all of the furniture that was flat as pancakes in the ground.

"Well.. that rabbit looked like he needed help, let's see if we can find him." Sora suggested which the others agreed too.

All of them started making they're way down the odd looking pathway just ahead of them, this world already felt so strange and odd, Pinkie Pie honestly would already be having a blast here if she came here, but Spike's the one here, and for him, he feels like it's gonna be a fun time. They all made they're way to a large looking door just ahead, and Spike quickly came up to it and opened it, but that had opened up 3 more doors in front of it which was just strange.
"Whoa.. this is so cool.." Spike said while he chuckled a bit.

"So strange too.." Sora said with a smile as they all crouched down and crawled into the doors to keep going.

Everyone crawled through the tunnel until they ended up in a bizarre looking room, there was furniture upside down, some was on the walls, and it looked like there were many pathways that could lead into this place. But everyone looked directly in front of them and saw the rabbit going through a really small door which was interesting.
"How did he get so small?" Sora asked curious as they all looked at the door.

"I don't know, maybe that's just how this world works maybe?" Spike suggested which the others shrugged at, but once they looked back at the door, they saw the knob was somehow alive which surprised them all.

"No, you are all simply too big." The doorknob replied which made Donald scream in shock.

"It talks?!" Donald shouted with surprise which made the doorknob yawn loudly as a result.

"Must you be so loud duck? You woke me up.." The doorknob said tiredly.

"Uh.. sorry about that then.." Spike apologized with a nervous look.

"Don't be.. I just need a bit more sleep.." It said tiredly as it tried closing it's eyes again.

"Wait! What do we have to do to grow small?" Sora asked hoping he had something for them.

"Why don't you try the bottle? Over there.." The doorknob said as the table behind them suddenly grew up to their size magically with two bottles in the center. Spike looked around for any odd sightings in this room, and after looking around, he saw there was a small doorway near the bed which looked like a way out of here.

"Hey Sora, help me out with this please?" Spike asked as he went over to it, Sora saw what he was doing and went over to help him, they both simply pushed the bed forward into the wall which opened up the pathway below.

"Good work buddy, we're already getting good with this stuff." Sora complimented while they high fived eachother.

"Hey, team effort right?" Spike asked with a chuckle as they went over to the two bottles, the blue one looked like it would shrink them down, so they both took the risk and braced themselves. Sora took a large gulp of the thing, and that sent a large mist around them all which shrunk them all down drastically.

Everything was now extremely large and huge to them all, this world already has so much wonder to it, Spike just hopes that whatever they see next won't be too bad.
"Alright, we're small enough now, let's see what's ahead of that door." Spike declared while they all turned to it, and without much thought, they all headed into the doorway that they opened up, wondering what's just ahead of them.

It didn't take long for them to come into what looked like.. a strange garden area, they could see a large castle up ahead, and there were strange card soldiers all standing guard.
"Guys.. look.." Spike pointed out as they could see some girl in front of a mean looking woman.

They saw the rabbit from before quickly run up to a side platform, he took some heavy breaths before he blew a loud horn to announce something important.
"Court is now in session!" The rabbit announced which shocked the girl who heard that.

"I'm on trial? But why? I haven't done anything wrong!" The girl asked as everyone turned to the queen in front of them all.

"Her majesty, the Queen of Hearts preceding!" The rabbit announced as the Queen glared at the girl with a look of anger.

"This girl is the culprit, there's no doubt about it, why? Because I say so, that's why!" The queen declared which already showed Spike this woman was a jerk.

"That is so unfair! " The girl argued back which made the queen scoff.

"Do you have anything to say in defense Alice?" She asked with a disgusted look.

"Yes, I have done nothing wrong! You may be Queen, but that doesn't give you the right to be so.. so mean!" Alice argued back which infuriated her.

"Silence! You dare defy me?!" She asked with anger while she slammed her fist down on the desk.

Spike and the others were watching this from the distance, and they were worried about what's happening with her right now.
"Guys.. maybe we should help her out? This clearly isn't her fault." Sora suggested which Donald and Goofy were reluctant to do.

"We're outsiders, remember Sora? Wouldn't that be muddling?" Goofy aske which Donald quickly corrected.

"Meddling!" Donald shouted again while pointing at him.

"Right, and that's against the rules." Goofy finished which made Spike cross his arms as a result.

"The Heartless have already meddled in this worlds affairs, if anything we're trying to fix things here, I say we help her out. " Spike declared which Sora agreed too.

But as they kept talking, the Queen had come to a conclusion that makes this situation worse.
"The court finds the defendant.. guilty as charged! As crimes of assault, and attempted theft of my heart... Off with here head!!" She ordered all her guards who began turning to her.

"No! Please don't!" Alice begged which finally made Spike and the group march in to stop this.

"Hold up one moment!" Spike announced while they all pushed through the guards which made the queen upset seeing them here.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere with my court?!" She asked with an angry look at all of them.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we know who the real culprit is, and it is not Alice." Sora said as he remembered her name.

"That's nonsense, do you have any proof for that statement?" She asked with a mocking look, Sora tried to think of something to help, but Sora didn't have anything that could prove this woman wrong.

Since they couldn't find anything to prove her innocent for now, Alice was locked in a cage so she doesn't escape, and the queen made an order for them which they can't refuse.
"If you wish to prove me wrong, bring me evidence of her innocence! Fail, and it's off with all of your heads!" She threatened which made Spike growl as a result.

Spike looked at the others and they quickly made they're way into another open pathway that led to a dark forest, Spike could already see that queen was not fit to be in charge here, coming to conclusions like that without evidence she even did that made Spike more determined to save Alice.
"You guys really think we shouldn't just fight through them all to save Alice? We all have magic and stuff, so we could take them all right?" Spike suggested which they didn't really like.

"There's far too many of them right now Spike, we should focus on finding evidence to save Alice, but if we have no choice, we'll fight them back if they refuse to let her go." Sora replied which sounded good to him.

"Alright then, let's see if there's anything we can do to save her." Spike replied as they made they're way into a dark looking forest.

This forest was pretty strange to say the least, a lot of the stuff here looked flattened down, and the forest itself was large with many twists and turns around it, it was a bit like the Everfree forest in a way, it only made Spike wonder what there is to find in here.

But before any of them could figure out where to go, they all suddenly saw a weird looking cat head appear in front of them all before vanishing again.
"What's that?!" Spike asked as he quickly summoned his two Keyblades, the cat creature kept appearing and vanishing over the forest, until it finally appeared near an odd looking log that looked out of place.

"Who are you?!" Donald asked with an upset tone, the cat only chuckled hearing that and moved around in a strange way.

"Who indeed? Poor Alice.. she's soon to lose her head.. and she isn't guilty of a single thing!" The cat said with a chuckle which made them suspicious of it.

"Do you know who the culprit is? Tell us please!" Sora requested which the cat didn't fully answer.

"The Cheshire Cat has all the answers.. but.. he doesn't always tell, the answer, the culprit, the cat.. it all lies in the darkness.. " The cat said as it suddenly began to vanish in front of them again.

"Wait! Can you at least give us a hint or something?" Spike asked hoping there was something they could get from him.

"They've already left the forest, but I won't tell which exit, wherever they went, is up for you to decide!" The cat said from the shadows which just worried them all.

Spike and the others looked at eachother with confusion and wondered what the heck that cat meant there.
"Is he trying to say that there's at least a few clues we can find in this place to prove Alice is innocent?" Spike asked the group who looked around the forest for anything.

"Could be, let's start searching for anything that could help." Sora replied which the group agreed too, and they all started making they're way through the place to find anyway to help Alice.

As Spike and the group walked around the forest to try and find something to help, Spike looked around the forest and noticed how off it looked, a lot of this area looked pretty flat from most places, the water looked flat. and even the walls and ceiling did, was this a result of the Heartless? Or is this just how this world works normally, Spike's only been in this world for like 10 minutes by now, and they've already seen a lot of weird stuff.
"Man, Pinkie would be having a wild time if she were here.." Spike told himself as they all looked around for something to help.

"So Spike, I gotta ask, what's this Equestria like? I don't think me and Donald have been there before?" Goofy asked while starting up a conversation, that got Spike's attention and he remembered something similar Sora asked him in Traverse Town.

"It's.. quite the place honestly, it honestly reminds me of this world to be honest, Equestria has so many different sights and unique looking places I've ever seen, Equestria's a really beautiful place, full of Pony's, dragons, griffons, and other creatures like Changelings, while the dragons in Equestria.. aren't the brightest guys around, I find it really neat that there's so much stuff to see, and there's always something new to find wherever you go there." Spike explained which interested them all.

"Sounds like a world we'd like to visit sometime, hard to think we haven't even heard of that place at all, it must be far off from most worlds we're gonna go to." Donald suggested which could be true.

"Yeah.. that may be true, and the fact that I just.. left my friends like that without a single trace.. I can't imagine how worried they must be right now, and to know that I'm gonna be fighting off monsters like the Heartless with you guys, it makes me just.. think about what's been on my mind even more.." Spike said with regret for just leaving his home like that, even if he had the choice, he still wished he was there right now.

"Sorry to hear that Spike, but you should at least look on the bright side, we'll be going to tons of different worlds and be seeing many amazing things. No matter what struggles we go through, once we find a way home, I'm sure they'll be in for quite the story." Sora replied while keeping his usual smile.

Spike smiled back hearing that and knew it was a true fact.
"Yeah, I just hope it doesn't become.. overly complex or anything you know? Like it would be so hard to explain you'd need to hear it over 10 times? Just hope it's not like that in the future." Spike prayed as they all noticed a small pink box near the center of an open area just ahead of them.

"Let's just try and keep things as understandable as we can. You guys see that box over there?" Sora asked as they all came up to it.

Spike and the others examined the box closely, trying to see if there's anything that was off about this thing like everything else here.
"Think it could have something that can help us?" Goofy asked with a curious look.

"Only one way to find out.." Spike replied before he summoned his weapons again and lightly tapped the box and it unlocked instantly like Yuffie said, they opened the box and they could see some strange footprints coming from it, like it was something left over from the Heartless?

"Even though this may help, it's best we search around for more clue's to help." Spike suggested as they put the box away for now, Donald looked around the forest for any exits they could head too, and he soon saw one of them just above them in an odd looking tree.

"Up there!" Donald pointed out which made all of them look at it, they saw there was a few platforms ahead for them to climb to get to it, and there didn't look like anything too out of place here.

"Let's see where it leads then." Spike declared before he and the group quickly jumped up the platforms and headed to the tree quickly, Spike had a lot to think about still with what's happening, and hoped this adventure will help him understand his place and what role he'll really play.

After everyone had made they're way through that odd looking doorway, they were immediately flung back down into that Bizarre room from before, only now they ended up on a platform near a chimney just below them, Spike and the others quickly recovered and tried looking around for what just happened.
"Man, what kind of world is this anyway? Everywhere we go to leads to some weirder part of a place we've already been too." Sora asked confused with all they're seeing now.

"Don't know, but I guess it's why this is called Wonderland." Spike replied while shrugging his shoulders. They looked around the platform they were on and soon saw another hidden box just next to them, and like before, Sora went over and opened it next, and they now found a weird stench that felt left over from those monsters too.

"I guess that's 2 boxes now, let's head back to that forest, I noticed something off about that place that could help us." Spike suggested as he hopped off the platform and started running across the room again, and the others followed behind quickly.

They made they're way through that garden again and avoided interacting with the guards, they simply went back to the pathway that led them to the dark forest from before, Spike and the others looked around for anything off, and the others were a bit confused with what Spike was meaning.
"So.. what did you see that felt off Spike?" Donald asked looking at him, Spike looked around a bit, and soon noticed a strange yellow flower that hasn't bloomed yet, and that's what was odd right here.

"That thing Donald, you think you can make it bloom? It could help us?" Spike suggested while Donald crossed his arms, unsure if this would help.

"Let me see if a Potion will work.." Donald replied before he reached for something in his pocket, and took out one of those Potion's like he suggested, Donald raised the potion up and had the healing magic cover the flower which actually worked, it bloomed fully because of it.
"Thanks!" A strange voice suddenly said before a strange gas engulfed Spike and Sora, Spike yelps as they find themselves suddenly growing larger then most of the trees here. Everything looked so small from they're perspective now, and it felt so weird.

"Whoa.. be careful Spike!" Sora warned as they tried keeping they're own balance, Spike quickly regained his focus and looked down to make sure they didn't crush Donald or Goofy, and thankfully, they were fine.

"Okay.. this is just weird by now.." Spike said with a nervous look as he was being super careful not to crush anything. But that's when Spike remembered something he saw just a bit ago, and he looked at the strange log that looked out of place like before, and there was a strange leaf that looked like a platform just next to it.

"Hold on a minute.." Spike told the others as he went over to the large stump, Spike made a high jump in the air and slammed his feet into the stump to see if anything would happen, and thankfully, this caused that platform to finally spring back to it's proper place, which lead into another room once again.

Spike smiled proudly and looked at Sora who gave him a thumbs up in response,.
"Great work Spike, now all we need to do is get back to normal." Sora said as they looked around for anything to shrink them again, Sora looked around a bit and soon saw a strange looking fruit on one of the trees, Spike noticed this too, and they both got the same idea.

Sora went over to the thing and knocked it down so they could hopefully shrink back down, Sora and Spike picked it up at once and nodded before they took a bite out of it, and they both shrunk back down to normal size magically.

Spike felt his head spinning a bit after the sudden change, this felt so strange to him in so many ways. But at least they have another way forward again.

"You okay Spike?" Sora asked while Spike blinked a few times to regain his focus.

"Yeah, I'm fine, there's another pathway just up there, come on, let's see where it leads." Spike said hopefully as they all made they're way up the platforms again, but took a different direction to it, this forest had a ton of twists all over it, and they had to be on their toes the entire time they were here.

It didn't take that long for them all to make it to the pathway that led to another place, but it once again led them to the large room from before, only this time they landed on a faucet that could bring out some water, but they could barely balance out themselves with being on a small platform.
"Whoa.. easy does it guys.." Sora said nervously as the faucet moved around a bit, everyone tried keeping balance, and soon was able to steady themselves, they all sighed in relief and tried looking around at where they are now in this room.

"Alright.. what do we do now?" Goofy asked as they looked around the place, but from looking to their right again, they saw another box on a platform just ahead of them, and they all got the same idea once again from seeing it.

"Hopefully this will be what we need.." Spike prayed as he and Sora jumped over to the box, they used they're Keyblades to unlock it once again, and it opened up like before, but now, they saw what looked like claw markings inside it, which was really strong evidence they could use.

Just before they decided to head back, they all saw the Cheshire Cat from before, who was watching they're progress.
"Well well, look what you all found. Nice going!" He complimented which made them curious on what he has to say now.

"So.. this will help us prove Alice is innocent right?" Spike asked hopefully while he put the box away for now.

"Don't be so sure, there's always tricks this place can pull on you, but if your sure enough, then go and prove the queen wrong. Here's a little reward for your hard work." The cat said before he waved his paw around suddenly, this caused all of them to be given another new power, Spike felt a cold breeze flow through him from gaining this power, and from what it looks like, it may be the power of ice.

"Wha.. how did you do that?" Sora asked surprised with what he was able to do, but when they turned back to the cat, he suddenly vanished before them yet again, leaving them alone.

"Well.. we have our evidence, you guys ready to save Alice now?" Sora sked the others who smiled confidently hearing it.

"Let's go guys." Donald declared before he jumped off the faucet and landed on the ground, everyone followed suit, and they all quickly headed back to the garden area to conclude this trial.

It didn't take that long for them to make it back there, the guards were starting to get impatient with all the waiting they had to do here, but soon enough, Spike and the others made it back with the evidence in tow, they had confidence they could prove Alice is innocent.
"You guys ready for this?" Spike asked as they came in front of the Queen of Hearts once again who was waiting for what they have to say.

"We've gotten the proof we need to show Alice is innocent, she's not the one who caused this." Sora claimed while he put all of the boxes they found before her, showing how much they worked to get them.

"Hmph, not bad for evidence, but I'm not impressed, Cards! Bring forth my evidence!" The queen claimed before two guards put another couple boxes near the ones they found, and to complicate things, they all got shuffled up to make things hard to pick the right one.

"It would take too long to choose them all, so we shall only pick one of them, I'll decide who's guilty based on that evidence." The queen claimed which made Donald mad from hearing it.

"What?! After all the work we did to get them?!" Donald asked with anger which made her more upset.

"Silence! Choose, one box!" The queen ordered which made Spike more angry with her harsh authority.

Spike and Sora both looked at eachother and nodded before they turned to the other boxes, this was gonna be what would conclude this trial, so they needed to be careful with this. After heavy thinking, Sora decided to go for the one that was in between the right and center ones, and they hoped this was the right one.
"This one." Sora claimed before he tapped on the box and the thing began to shake.

The box shook more and more, and everyone waited for what's to come out of it, and soon enough.. everyone saw one of those armored Heartless come out of it, proving that the queen was wrong which made Spike smirk a bit.

"What in the world was that?!" She asked with shock with seeing that monster.

"We showed you the evidence, Alice is innocent, and your ways of thinking is wrong, your majesty." Sora claimed while crossing his arms.

This made the queen growl in anger for being proven wrong, but despite them being right, she refused just to let them get away like this.
"Silence! I'm the law here, Article 29: Anyone who denies the queen is guilty!" The queen declared which finally made Spike snap from this claim.

"You know what? Screw this! We've been as fair as we can to you, but you clearly need to be taught a lesson, on what it means to rule with respect! I swear if Celestia was here, she'd put you in your place! But I'll have to do it for her." Spike shouted with anger which made her furious.

"Cards! Seize them!!" She shouted to the top of her lungs, the cards responded to this, and everything around them suddenly vanished to make things an open field, there was a new machine right behind them, and one of the guards turned one of the wheels to raise the cage Alice was in into the air.

Spike summoned both his weapons and Sora summoned his too while Donald and Goofy got ready to fight.
"That device must be keeping the cage up! We gotta destroy that thing!" Sora shouted as Spike charged at all of the guards and made a scream of anger, Spike raised his Keyblades in the air and shot multiple ice blasts at the cards to freeze them in place.
"I got these guys! You destroy the device, now!" Spike shouted as he deflected one of the cards weapons and parried it, Spike then countered this and delivered a string of combos to take them down.

Sora, Donald and Goofy all charged at the device and started smashing at it violently, they hit the wheels as many times as they could to lower the cage down, Spike took a deep breath and shot a blast of fire over all of the cards to make them back off, Spike then sensed more coming from behind him, and he quickly flipped over multiple axe swings that collided with eachother from missing. Spike flew over the area and landed on the ground and turned back to the guards, he twirled around his Keyblades and ran to them while dragging them across the floor.
"You all need better jobs!" Spike screamed before he unleashed a wave of light energy around all of them, this stunned them for a bit, which gave Spike the window to repeatedly slash against all of them without missing a single hit.
"If there's one thing I hate the most, it's people who abuse the power they have! And your " Queen" is one of the best examples of it!" Spike screamed with anger as he started getting faster and faster with each strike.

Spike made a loud battle cry and delivered a final slash against all of the cards at once, this finally knocked all of them down. Sora and his friends were smashing away at the device with all their might, they managed to break each of the wheels, but the cage was still in the air, and they were now trying to destroy what's left of it.
"Spike! It's almost down! Come on, let's finish this!" Sora shouted as he readied his weapon for a final strike, Spike quickly turned to them, he raised his weapons in the air and ran to them to finish it. Spike made a battle cry and jumped into the air and raised his weapons, Sora followed this up by backflipping into the air too, and once the two of them crossed eachother, they both aimed they're Keyblades at the device, and delivered one final smash against it, and that finally destroyed it for good.

The device finally shattered after taking so much damage, and that finally set the lock on the cage free which sent it back to the ground. Spike and Sora quickly pushed through the guards and tried to see if Alice is okay.
"Alice! Are you ok?" Spike asked as the cage turned around, but when it was revealed.. they all saw Alice was gone..

"She must've gotten kidnapped while we were fighting.." Donald suggested with a look of guilt while everyone was in shock of what just happened.

"How? We all were right next to the cage?" Spike asked the others who didn't know how to answer this.

"You fools! Find who is responsible for this! I don't care how they did it!" The queen ordered her guards one more time, and they all quickly rushed off to see how this happened.

Spike growled with seeing the queens attitude again, he was about to give her a well needed lesson, but Goofy stopped Spike before he could do anything rash.
"Spike, just let it go, come on, let's see if Alice is at least still here.." Goofy advised which made Spike sigh, despite how much he wanted to teach her this lesson, it wasn't worth it, and Spike only sighed sadly and admitted that it's for the best.

"Your right Goofy, let's just go, this was a waste of our time." Spike said with regret for Alice suddenly vanishing like this, and they all made they're way through the pathway to the forest again to see if there's anything to find to help.

Spike felt regret for not being able to save Alice there, whatever was able to drag her off suddenly without any of them noticing, it was a cause for concern. He wished Twilight was here to theorize on what could've happened, but he's alone here, and he has to figure this out with his friends.

Everyone made they're way to the forest area once again, but before any of them could keep going, a large boulder suddenly flew out of another flower which landed near the flat water. And they saw the same cat from before appear on top of it once again. They weren't even gonna question it at this point, they just hoped he knew something about what happened.
"Have you seen Alice?" Donald asked with a hopeful look.

"Alice, no. But Shadows, yes!" The Cheshire Cat replied with it's usual smile.

"Where are they? Is there anyway we can stop them?" Spike asked coming in front of the others again.

"Hmph, this way, that way, does it matter? Left, right, up, down, it's all mixed up thanks to the shadows! Step deeper into the forest, near the deserted garden near the end there, you might find the shadows in the upside down room!" He advised before he vanished before them once again.

"I think he's meaning of the pathway that was blocked off before, it's not too far ahead, let's see if it leads to anywhere new!" Spike declared before he quickly ran off ahead to find it, the others quickly followed behind and hoped there was something there.

It didn't take that long to make it through the forest, aside from taking down a few groups of Heartless here and there, nothing was too big to talk about, Spike had gotten used to this worlds weird ways of working by now, and if it's thanks to the Heartless, hopefully when this is over, the world will be at least understandable for anyone who comes here.

Spike and the others soon made it through a new path that had opened up because it wasn't being blocked anymore, and once they went through it, they soon came into another garden, there was a small house near a large table with tea cups that looked to be for a birthday party, but there wasn't anyone around here, so it just made Spike worry on where the owners are.
"You guys see anyone here?" Spike asked as they looked around the empty place.

"Gawrsh, I don't see anyone, you think it was the Heartless who caused this?" Goofy asked with a worried look.

Sora looked around the place too, and they couldn't see anyone here, and there was only an open door that went somewhere else.
"If it is, we have to find a way to stop them, come on, there's another path just ahead of us." Sora advised as he started going through it, the others looked at eachother and shrugged a bit before they headed on after him.

Everyone followed behind through that new door, and once they came through, they now found themselves upside down in that Bizarre room once again, everything looked really strange from upside down, but they had seen almost everything here, so this may not be the most crazy thing now.

Soon enough, they saw the Cheshire Cat appear next to them once again, and they all hoped he knew how to stop this.
"The shadows are hiding somewhere, in the momeraths outgrabe. Try turning on the light to find them." He instructed while pointing at two unlit lamps just next to them.

Spike and Sora quickly went over to them and used they're magic to light them up, this seemed to trigger a few flat objects in the room to come back to normal again, and the room did get brighter after they lit them up.
"Alright, that should do it right?" Spike asked as they turned back to the cat.

"You should be able to see them soon, they'll arise in this room, but somewhere else. They may try going after the Doorknob, you should head to it to be safe!" He advised one more time before he vanished yet again.

Spike and the others looked at eachother and knew what that meant.
"Come on guys, let's make sure that thing doesn't get hurt." Donald instructed as he ran off to a hatch near them, Spike opened it up, and they all jumped through it to hurry back to the Doorknob.

They had to backtrack they're way through the place a bit, going through the queen's garden again which was almost empty at this point, they didn't have much to do right now after getting all of this stuff done, Spike did feel stronger after they had fought more Heartless and made they're way through this world, and something tells him that they're gonna be in for one final challenge at the end of it all.

And soon enough, everyone finally made it back to the room they started in, and they saw the Doorknob was looking alright right now. They saw the Cheshire Cat appear at the top of the table to give them one final instruction.
"You all should have a better view up from here." He advised which made them all quickly climb up the large chair on the side, and they quickly climbed up to the top so they could see the room fully.

Spike walked up to the cat and wondered if he's trying to warn them of something.
"We should be expecting something soon right? We've done everything you've asked us to do." Spike asked while crossing his arms again.

"They should arrive soon, but are you all prepared for the worst? If not.. too bad!" He said as he pointed directly up above them all.

Everyone looked up above and they all saw a large Heartless had suddenly appeared from upside down, it was a huge Heartless that had extremely thin, paper like arms, an outfit that made it look like a jester of sorts, and it threw around large torches like they were juggling balls.
"This is it guys! Let's take it down!" Spike screamed as they all charged at the monster to fight together.

Donald made a loud scream of rage and shot multiple ice blasts directly at the monster's chest, Spike ran under it's legs and flipped behind it's back, he delivered a strong slice to it's back which managed to stun it for a bit, and it lowered down and tried to recover.
"It's open! Come on we gotta attack it now!" Sora shouted as he tried slashing against the thing repeatedly. Spike aimed his Keyblades at the monster and rapidly shot multiple fireblasts from them, they were different compared to his usual fire, but they were able to do a good job with damaging the things head.

The Heartless roared at them all and made a large leap into the air and it raised it's torches directly at them all.
"Look out!" Goofy screamed just before he came in front of all of them, and he used his shield to block the monster's attack before it could do any real damage. Spike used this moment to jump off of the chair that was still stable, and Spike aimed his Keyblades at the monster before he threw one of them directly at it's face, this slashed through the monster easily, and Spike's Keyblade came back to him like a boomerang once again, the monster soon recovered from the attack and raised it's long arms, it made a large sweep from across the floor which the others flipped across to avoid, Sora dodged a few more attacks from the thing and slid right under the thing to counter attack.

"Fire!" Sora screamed as he shot a fireblast directly under it, this managed to stun the large monster once again, and everyone took that moment to smash against it quickly. Spike jumped in the air and kept on slashing his Keyblades at the monster, he felt himself getting faster and faster each time he slashed at the thing, like something was boosting his speed.
"Leave.. this.. world.. alone!!" Spike screamed with rage as he felt a powerful light erupting for him, Spike's body started to glow brightly and his Keyblades began to form strong power around them which surprised everyone seeing it.

"Spike?" Donald asked with surprise as Spike's body glowed even brighter, Spike made a scream of anger which erupted the light from him, and Spike used the new strength he just got by running directly to the monster once again, Spike's weapons glowed brightly as he jumped in the air for one final slash, Spike put both his Keyblades together to form an X symbol, and Spike used a new powerful move which had Spike slash his Keyblades together which created a strong blast of Fire that looked like an X symbol, and it completely sliced through the monster in one fell slash.

Everyone had a look of shock as Spike pulled off that strong move, Spike himself didn't even realize it until he saw what he just did, the monster roared in pain as it's body shook weakly, the monster tried to push through that final strike, but it was far too much, and it finally fell flat on the ground, and it's heart flew out of it's body like before, and it disappeared, finally defeating it.
"Whoa.. Spike.. what was that? Are you alright?" Sora asked with concern while Spike breathed heavily.

He never felt a power like that before, while the Keyblades are strong, this one felt so strange, and yet.. familiar in a way.
"I.. don't know.. I just felt myself getting stronger the longer we fought.. and then.. I just.. unleashed the power built up in me, and I did.. that.." Spike explained while pointing at the area the monster was in.

"You may have more power then you thought Spike, if you could do that, maybe you have more inside that you need to unlock." Sora suggested which made Spike think over that even more.

"Maybe but.. how is that possible?" Spike asked himself while he looked at his Keyblades again.

But as they kept talking, they heard the Doorknob from before yawn loudly once again.
"What a racket.. how's a doorknob supposed to get any sleep?" He asked tiredly before he made one long yawn, but this made a strange looking Keyhole appear from it's mouth which seemed hidden from everything else.

"What.. is that?" Spike asked with interest seeing it, but this Keyhole suddenly made Spike and Sora's Keyblades aim at the thing, they charged up a beam of light from them, and they all shot directly into the Keyhole. A strange lock sound was heard from somewhere, and the Doorknob soon finally went back to sleep once again.

"What was that?" Donald asked confused on what they just saw.

"I think that was a.. Keyhole? I mean it makes sense since he is a doorknob right?" Spike asked pointing at the thing.

"I don't know, there was something different about this one, you all heard that strange lock sound right? Maybe that Keyhole meant something important." Sora suggested which made them all think over it.

But they soon saw a strange piece come from the doorknob, and it looked like a Gummi piece that was used for they're ship.
"This doesn't look like the other blocks we have, no sir." Goofy declared while they looked at it together.

"I'll hold onto it till we find out what it is." Donald suggested as he went and picked it up for now.

As they finished up with this task, they saw the Cheshire Cat appear on the table one final time.
"Splendid work you two! Your quite the heroes! But sadly, you won't find Alice here anytime soon. She's gone, vanished with into the darkness." He advised one last time before he vanished again.

Everyone was horrified to hear what happened to Alice, and this means something different is going on with all these Heartless
"No.." Sora said with fear for what's happened to her now.

"This means.. she's not in this world anymore.. she's gone.." Spike said with regret for not being able to save her.

"Don't worry guys, we'll find her, come on, let's get back to the Gummi Ship, we might find her in another world." Donald advised which made them sigh in response.

"I hope we find her soon, come on Spike, let's go." Sora encouraged as they all started to leave. But as Spike looked back at the Queen's garden, Spike got a little smug on his face and got an idea on how to get back at her.

"Hold on guys, I wanna do something important just before we go.." Spike said smugly which confused the group.

We cut back to the Queens garden once again, the Queen of Hearts was impatiently waiting for any reports on what happed with Alice so they could finish the job. One of the cards had come up to her and held up a box that looked for her.
"Report, did you find out what happened with that girl yet?" She asked impatiently which made the card nervous.

"Um.. no your highness, but this box was left for you, it was said to be a surprise for you." It reported while he handed her the box, she looked interested in the box and took it.

" What could this be?" She asked with interest while she opened it up, and..

We cut back to Spike and the others as they were flying away from Wonderland in the Gummi Ship again, Spike had a proud look on his face and was leaning back in his chair, the others were confused with what he did and what took him so long to get back.

"So what exactly did you give the Queen of Hearts Spike?" Sora asked looking at him who only raised up his fingers.

"And.. 3... 2... 1..." Spike counted down just before a loud bang was heard, everyone turned back to Wonderland and saw a large blast of cake frosting exploded over the queen's entire castle and garden, it was so large, it could be seen from off world.

"Whoa! How the heck did that happen?!" Donald asked with surprise while they all looked out the window and saw it splatter over the entire castle.

"How did you even get that much frosting?" Goofy asked with shock of what they just saw.

Spike only chuckled at that, and took a piece of cake that the ship had to eat, the thought of her falling for it only made him laugh harder the more he did.
"Why don't you ask the Queen of Hearts guys? Oh yeah.. a cake bomb exploded in her face. But don't worry, she'll be fine, but I can already see her angry face from here. If there's one thing I learned from Pinkie, it's out to do real surprises." Spike replied while he was laughing hard.

This actually made Sora laugh a bit since it was a good prank.
"I gotta admit, she kinda had it coming, at least it was cake frosting." Sora replied while he chuckled a bit too and went to his chair, Spike handed him another slice to eat so they could just wait out this journey, Donald and Goofy only shrugged it off and did find it funny for all the trouble she gave them, and they only went back to their seats and proceeded to fly away.

Spike only kicked back and relaxed as let Donald flew the ship to their next world.
"Ah.. sweet payback.." Spike said proudly as they all flew away from Wonderland while he listened to jazz music, while it was sad Alice got kidnapped from her own world, at least Spike and his friends are getting stronger, and Spike hopes this will help him grow more as they keep traveling across all the worlds there is to see..
