It's been so long since I've been in an opera house.
It's so hard to walk. Why do I have to be dressed like this?
It's what they call "Formal Dress"; so keep yourself together, Stupid-Rabbit.
What?!
I think it suits you, Alice.
Oh... I see...
I have been awaiting your arrival, Master Oz Bezarius.
Liam!
Now I will lead you all to meet my master, Rufus Barma.
It's astonishing that Duke Barma was so willing to meet with us.
Yeah, I was surprised too.
I've heard that he's an incredible man, so I figured he wouldn't want to see us.
Oz, just what kind of person is he?
Ahh...
Duke Rufus Barma is the one of the four Dukes.
In fact, he's the eldest.
So?
I figured he might know some missing pieces of history.
Oz, what are you trying to find out?
The truth of the Tragedy of Sabrie from 100 years ago.
Since then, I've called out by Jack several times, but he never appears.
But I want to know the truth,
about the Baskervilles who caused the Tragedy of Sabrie.
And about Jack Bezarius, who stopped them in their tracks.
The people that were there...
The people that were killed...
Everyone that was involved in the Tragedy of Sabrie.
Even now,
The Baskervilles are moving to bring about that same tragedy again.
By seizing the four Dukes' doors to the Abyss.
While they search for their master, Glen.
Pandora, which is comprised of the four Duke Houses,
is also looking for the Baskervilles' Final Door,
In order to prevent them from creating another tragedy.
But in the end, they're both after the same thing--
The Will of the Abyss?
Your enthusiasm is admirable,
But please take better care of Alice, alright?
The memory of Alice that you saw at the Cheshire Cat's place...
Is it really alright to keep it from her?
Yeah, you're right.
Ever since we came back from Cheshire's world,
Alice hasn't ever mentioned her search for her memories.
Does Alice...
Does she still want to get her memories back?
Excuse me, Duke Rufus.
I have brought you Oz Bezarius and the other's--
What's this? There's no one here.
O-Oz...
W-what...
What kind of creature is that?!
Pardon me, good Sir, but would you happen to be Duke Barma?
Indeed I am!
I have something to as--
Boring!
You are so boring!
Normal people would be scared or shocked when they see me, yet you conceal even the very hint of surprise!
I apologize for that Sir, I-
I know, I know...
You have a tendency of accepting everything as it is, so you accept me just by thinking "It is, how it is".
Yeah, you know a lot.
I know everything!
You have tried to quit smoking 8 times already, but have failed miserably, haven't you?!
How did you know--?!
There is nothing that I do not know!
Information is power!
Information is the greatest treasure of all!
Oz, is he an idiot?
Well... uh...
Just ridiculous.
I refuse!
My knowledge is not cheap, and I cannot just give it to you, who blindly accept everything.
If you want some information, then you are going to have to trade for it.
Did you say "trade"?
Yes, you must provide me some form of information that I do not already know.
But, I don't really...
How about you tell me what is the reason the you seek your Truth?
Oh, I know, I know,
You want to know what the sin was that the Baskervilles claim you committed.
And after learning that, what will you do?
All along I was...
Afraid of hurting others.
That's why, I hoped that I wouldn't learn the Truth.
But now...
I want to re-examine myself, and decide what I truly am.
I want to know what I'm capable of, so that I'll be able to protect those dear to me.
Oz...
That's wrong!
It's wrong!
To think that there exists something that I do not know?!... Everyone will laugh at me!
Things have changed without me knowing.
My information is inaccurate!{
What? Was it something I said?
I will never acknowledge it!
Oh no! Duke Barma!
No way!
No way! No way!
No way!
What... are these people?
Oz!
The unknown will always conjure up fear, but the reverse is also true.
That which you know, will also bring fear. I know, I know.
You have lost your memories, right?
But is that all right? All right?
Are you sure that you even want to remember those things?
Why did you forget those things in the first place?
Was it because you needed to forget?
You may endure even more suffering, should your memory be restored.
And you might even desire death, because of it.
You are afraid to move forward, but you are also afraid to give up.
You are so pitiful, so pitiful!
You're excruciatingly noisy.
I've known, ever since I met the Cheshire Cat.
But I will seek for it; it's what I was born to do.
In order to stay as I am now,
If fear clings to me, I'll just leave it there where I found it!
You disgusting-looking meatball.
Carve this up into your so called "knowledge".
I will take whatever I want, and I will destroy any who gets in my way!
For I am, "The B-Rabbit, Alice".
That was awesome.
As expected, you're really amazing, Alice.
What are you talking about?
Aren't you the same?
You've kept moving forward because you hate giving up, right?
Yeah.
You and I, we're comrades in search of ourselves.
Comrades?
It means "friends".
Hmm, that doesn't sound bad.
That sounds really good, actually.
Are you worried?
Afraid that Oz is changing?
Afraid that you'll be left behind?
Ahh! Once again, something unexpected!
I cannot admit it! I can not admit it!!
Now, isn't this lovely?
Duke Barma.
You have rejected all of my requests to meet with you up till now,
Yet, suddenly you decide to extend an invitation to me.
You're not after Oz, but me, aren't you?
Like you said, "If you want information, then you're going to have to trade for it."
Of the information that I have, there's only one thing that will interest you.
You've looked into my past. Haven't you, Duke Barma?
Yes, you are finally here.
The "Red-Eyed Ghost", Kevin Regnard!
Break!
I say it's time that you show your true self, Rufus Barma!
They are...
My, my...
The illusions I put my heart and soul into creating are so pitiful.
You wield such a distasteful power,
Mad Hatter.
Mother, and Father...
Everyone... is dead...
Please, don't leave me, Kevin!
I don't want to be alone!
Break!
You certainly are annoying.
You know that this happens because you decide to use your power recklessly.
I don't need to be lectured by someone who uses his power...
to create childish illusions, Duke Barma.
So he's the real Duke Barma?
Like you said, I want the information that you hold,
But why not allow me to first confirm...
That you are indeed Kevin Regnard.
Please stop!
Master Rufus, right now, his body is--
Weakened by the strain of his Contract?
Do you honestly believe that?
Then you are mistaken.
His weak condition is due to the fact that this is his second contract.
The Illegal Contractor's seal?!
Oh?
So that is what it looks like, once it has completed its cycle.
Ugly, and twisted; it really does suit such a sinful man.
You don't need...
...to tell me.
Kevin Regnard.
It was nearly 50 years ago.
There was an Illegal Contractor who walked the night.
He offered human sacrifices to his chain.
Everyone feared the demonic red eyes that always pierced through the darkness, wherever he went.
And so they called him..
"The Red-Eyed Ghost".
Red-Eyed...
116 people.
And despite sacrificing so many people, that monster still was dragged into the Abyss.
He was dragged into the Abyss?
What are you talking about?
Is he talking about the clown?
So...
Is your plan to capture Break as a common criminal, Duke Barma?
Although that might be interesting, all I am after is some information.
I want to know what happened while he was in the Abyss, and how he came back.
This is what I believe happened:
He entered into the very core of the Abyss,
and that he might have met her,
The Will of the Abyss.
Where... am I?
The dial on my seal has completed its cycle.
And I was dragged here by the chains.
A human?
It's a human!
So jealous, jealous!
Cheshire's jealous of humans!
Quiet please, everyone.
He'll be frightened.
Say, what is your name?
My name is Alice.
Alice?
Albus?
I have always wished to meet you, Will of the Abyss.
"The Will of the Abyss?!"
This little girl?
Well, Albus. You've brought him to me, haven't you?
Thank you.
I see. So his name is Kevin.
A loyal knight who served in a huge mansion.
But everyone's dead, right?
They were killed while you were away.
You weren't able to protect them.
They were the most important people to you, and you couldn't even save them.
Shut up!!
Alice!
That's why you came here, isn't it?
In order to save them.
All those who come to the Abyss are the same,
They tried their best to get something back,
But they all lose their way in the midst of it,
Maybe because they're with their chain for a long time.
But you're different.
You didn't lose your mind until the very end.
And yet you killed sooo many people...
Just like a fool.
I won't forgive anyone who harms the Will of the Abyss.
Why...?
I was talking to him...
Why did you interrupt?!
Alice is angry! Alice is angry!
Naughty puppet, that doesn't listen, gets destroyed by Alice!
Beautiful...
So beautiful.
Cheshire, let's dance?
What kind of demon is she?
I came here to revive my master...
I came to the Abyss to turn back time!
Is it suffering?
Are you suffering?
This is the core of the Abyss, where its power is greatest.
It will penetrate your very being.
And soon you'll become a chain, just like us!
Impossible!
A human turning into a chain?
You didn't know?
The power of the Abyss can transform a human into a chain,
It can give free will to the un-living,
And...
It can even control the flow of time itself.
That's what Glen said.
Glen?
I hate Glen.
Because he took that person away from me,
And Gilbert.. And Vincent...
I hate everyone who gets close to him.
Oh, that's right! I almost forgot.
Before you become a puppet...
So beautiful.
What will you do? What will you do with that red eye?
I'm giving it to Cheshire.
That's why I brought him here.
I've always thought that red eyes would suit Cheshire best.
I'm going to die... right here...
Without saving anyone!
Please, Kevin...
I don't... want to be alone!
No! I can still...
Alice?!
W-why...
Why is there so many... flowing into the Abyss...
It's Sabrie.
I did just as I was told.
I opened the door to the Abyss all by myself.
But then... I dragged everyone into the Abyss!
Good afternoon, Alice.
