We ended up in another area in the Queen's Garden. "We managed to infiltrate this place, right?" I asked. "No guard alerted so far. I think we're doing pretty good." Said the March Hare. "Despite the Bunny Girl's reassuring words, I must tell you something else, Patrick-sama. There's something truly terrifying in this Garden." All of a sudden, Rita appeared out of nowhere. "Rita?! When did you get here?" I asked. "I just got here. You didn't notice me?" Answered Rita. "I didn't. But back on topic. Something truly terrifying?" "Subject Patrick, we should question this woman who appeared, from nowhere." Said Bronya. "Indeed. So why are you here... Rita? Ooops, want a minute, that's a dumb question. What did your RPG card say?" I asked.

"Card? I have no idea what you're talking about, Patrick-sama." Answered Rita. "Hnngh... is she like Patrick?" Asked Bronya. "It doesn't matter. We need more party members. So what's that scary thing you're talking about, Rita?" I asked. "You should be aware that the Red Queen has 4 powerful retainers known as the Four Spades." Said Rita. "......" I said nothing. "I hage heard of the Four Spades. They are vicious and evil." Said the March Hare. "Oh. Let me guess, one of them carries a bounty of 1,057,000,000 Berries." I said. "How did you know that, Patrick?" Asked the March Hare. "C***. Did the script writer copy this from One Piece?" "Ahem. Perhaps the Four Spades are hidden within the depth of this Garden." Said Bronya. "That's right. If we meet them, we should remember these 3 words: Run for it." Said the March Hare.

"But the signs in the garden will teach you how to defeat them." Said Rita. "The Bronya... is excited. She must defeat the entities capable of striking terror into the Bunny Girl's heart." Said Bronya. "Hey. Speaking of which, what do they look like?" I asked. "They have a red cape, a red hat, and a spade lance." Answered Rita. "This one right here matches the descriptions." Said Bronya pointing at a card guard matching the description. "That's right!" Said the March Hare. "......" "......" "......" We said nothing in return. "What should we do now, Patrick?" Asked the March Hare. "What Joseph Joestar would do." I answered. "And what's that?" "... NIGERUNDAYO! Run as fast as I can! Make way! Move! Out of the way!"

After we avoided the Spade, we came up to a sign. "There's a traitor Clubs Bushi! It stole something that threatens Palace Security! Arrest the traitor! OFF WITH HER HEAD!" "Clubs Bushi! Perhaps we should take a look at what she stole." I said. We came to another sign. "The Spades are coming to inspect us. Make sure the thing is sealed. The Queen will go "OFF WITH ITS HEAD" if we hurt her pets." "Hmm... "the thing" can hurt spades... we should check it out." I said.

We then came to giant vines that blocked our way. "Giant vines again? Abracadabra, pin pon pan, nopon kiki, bibude babude bu." I chanted out but nothing happened to the vines. "Patrick-sama, these are not vines. They're sculptures that look like vines. But these statues do look like special devices. I believe we need to unlock something to trigger an event." Explained Rita. "You seem pretty good at this. Do you play games too?" I asked. "Ah, I must be well-versed in everything. A maid must always please her master, Patrick." "Let's look around."

We hid behind a corner and saw a card guard. "Careful. It's one of the Four Spades!" Shouted the March Hare. "Hmm... I can't feel any powerful aura emanating from this thing." Said Bronya. "Neither can I. Can it be a special enemy that's not the Spades or the Diamonds?" I asked. "Curiosity killed the cat. It may kill an adventurer next, Patrick-sama." Said Rita. "Since you've put it this way... this guard does seem rather different. Let's keep watching and see what it does." Then it disappeared.

We continued on and found a chest. "The Clubs guard suddenly disappeared here." Said Bronya. "Suddenly disappeared here? This chest looks aweful my suspicious. We should open it." I said. "Received: [Forbidden Tech] x1." Said the System. "The Bronya already opened it, subject Patrick." Said Bronya. "Hey! Aren't give some deep philosophical insights and waste the players time before opening that thing? As for the thumb drive... I remembered reading about an escaped Clubs Bushi from a road sign. The escapee stole something important... something related to Palace security." I said. "Perhaps the thumb drive will allow us to disable all electronic security measures in the Gardens." "That doesn't sound right. This is Alice in Wonderland, not Cowboy Bebop or Cyberpunk 2077." "SF elements help games sell better, subject Patrick." "Really? You serious?"

BOOOOM~ Weird noises coming from a distance. Let's head back to see what happened. The statues that looked like vines all disappeared. Then we came up to another sign. "Area is off limits. Contact the Spades in case of emergency. They have the passwords." "I guess we need to talk with the Spades." I said. Now we came up to a door. "This door can only be opened electromagnetically, Patrick-sama." Said Rita. "Guess this is where we use the Forbidden Tech." I said then I used the Forbidden Tech. "GM command accepted. User authorized." Said the System. "......" "......" Rita and Bronya said nothing. "This Forbidden Tech looks pretty uber." I said. "The Bronya is frowning. This does not look right." Said Bronya.

Now we went up to another door. "A secret chamber within a secret chamber? The designer must have placed super artifacts within." Said Bronya. "This door is furnished with an ancient numeric lock. We must provide the correct combination." Said Rita. "A numeric lock? A numerical combination?" I asked. "Strange inscriptions found on the door, subject Patrick." Said Bronya. "L, E, W, I, S... Lewis? Sounds like someone important... someone who wrote this..." Said Rita. "Hmm. Perhaps each letter is matched to something." I said. "It seems Patrick has a solution in mind." Said the March Hare. "Yeah, but something is missing. We need to find the thing matched to the letters. What could that be?" "Interact with everything interactive element on the map to find the clues. Thus spake the Bronya." Said Bronya.

We went back and went the right way and came up to another statue. "This statue appears to be an electronic gate. We'll need a password to get through, Patrick-sama." Said Rita. "Time to apply the Forbidden Tech." Said Bronya. "Sure thing. Let's do that." I said. "GM command accepted. User authorized." Said the System. "......" "......" Once again, Rita and Bronya said nothing. "GM command? Really? Am I hearing things? Is this the truth behind the Forbidden Tech?" I asked. "The Bronya is frowning. This does not look right." Said Bronya. "Let's just skip this and continue our covert infiltration. We don't have time to talk about this." Said Rita.

We turned back to see what was on the left of the entrance of the floor. We found another statue door. "This statue appears to be an electronic gate. We'll need a password to get through, Patrick-sama." Said Rita. "Once again, we use the Forbidden Tech." I said. "GM command accepted. User authorized." Said the System. Inside was a portal that we took and ended up in another part of the floor. There we found a chest. "Received: [A5 Kobe Beef] x1" The System spoke.

After that, we encountered a person by the name of Planewalker Octavia. "You may not believe it, but I came from another world." Said Octavia. "You may not believe it, but I also came from another world." I said. "I once lived on a blue planet known as Earth." Said Octavia. "The Bronya also lived on a blue planet known as Earth." Said Bronya. "I am sworn to serve a powerful global organization known as Schicksal." Said Octavia. "Ah, Schicksal pays us, too." Said Rita. "I serve Otto Apocalypse, the Holy Overseer OC Schicksal, the Terminator of Honkai, and Eternal Light of Humanity." Said Octavia. "Ah, our boss happens to be Otto Apocalypse as well... but he's definitely not holy in any sense." I said. "I also know we're in a game world." Said Octavia. "You know too much." Said Bronya.

"Let's chat some more." I said. "I brought something known as Forbidden Tech." Said Octavia. "Ah, so you were the one who brought the Forbidden tech here." "The Red Queen robbed me of my Forbidden Tech and imprisoned me." "Perhaps because you unbalanced the game and broke it." Said Rita. "A Clubs Bushi helped me escape, but she then sent four underlings to trap me here." Said Octavia. "That must be the Four Spades. The Bronya believes we ran into a potential solution." Said Bronya. "She never thought I'd find the way to defeat these four underlings." Said Octavia. "I'm listening." I said. "There is a legendary hidden artifact hidden in a secret room. Use the artifact to unleash super powers capable of sealing away undefeatable evil!" Said Octavia. "Da. The Bronya suppose that this artifact is well-defended as well." Said Bronya.

"You are an expert. No matter, there's a piece of A5 Kobe Beef in the fridge." Said Octavia. "You mean this meat I just took?" I asked showing the Beef. "Ah, that's right. Use the A5 Kobe Beef to bribe the artifact guardians. They will let you go." Said Octavia. "Should I ask why we would have a fridge in the Garden? It makes no sense." I said. "Do not do anything stupid, subject Patrick. The Bronya must find the legendary artifact." Said Bronya. "I would never do anything stupid. I'm not a Baka like the Captain of the Hyperion." I said with a tick mark on my head.

After playing the rhyming game: "Bond established. Take me with you." Said Octavia. "Yeah sure. We will. Welcome to the party." I said. "Miss Octavia, if memory serves, you said your goal is to escape the Palace, right?" Asked Rita. "That's right." Said Octavia. "But we're heading to the Palace. Are you alright with that?" "WHAT?!" "[Planewalker Octavia] (also an Otto fangirl) has joined the party." The System spoke.

We headed on to where Jabberwocky the Guardian was. "RARGH! I will kill any human who tries to pass this door. RARRGH!" "Hi there. Want some steak?" I offered up the A5 Kobe Beef. "Patrick wore a pair of sunglasses and suavely sprinkled salt on the SS-grade food: [A5 Kobe Beef] x1." Said the System. "How does it taste?" I asked. "Nyam nyam nyam nyam nyam!" Jabberwocky got out of the way and we went on through. Inside we found the legendary artifact. "Hmm... is this the legendary artifact guarded by the beast? I'm getting excited. I wonder what it does." I said. "Patrick-sama, this artifact may be cursed. Try to avoid direct contact." Said Rita.

"Yeah... that makes a lot of sense. Thanks, Rita. Step back a little, Bronya, March Hare. I'll try opening it." I said. "Received: [Cask of the Sealed] x1." The System spoke. "This Cask seems pretty familiar. Many people visit my home at Yae Village to gather "trash matz" and trade them for this cask." Said the March Hare. "User instruction is missing. The Bronya has no idea how to use this Cask." Said Bronya. "You should go over the dialog more carefully, Bronya. Octavia said that this artifact can unleash super powers capable of sealing away undefeatable evil. There is only one spell capable of doing that. It's called..." I stood in a stance then I pushed my arms out. "MAFUBA: EVIL CONTAINMENT!" A green energy storm came from me. "The Evil Containment Wave from Dragon Ball Z!" Then I stopped.

"I totally feel like Master Roshi, Goku, Piccolo, and Future Trunks now since they used this move." I said.

We went back to the beginning to trap the first Spade. "WHOAH. The aura given off by this monster far exceeds that of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast." I said. "Da. But it has not found us yet, subject Patrick." Said Bronya. "But now we have to use the Evil Containment Wave. So now we trap it." I said. "I can't wait, Patrick-sama." Said the March Hare. "Subject Patrick is planning to use something terrible." Said Bronya. "Come on Bronya! This move from one of my favorite Anime isn't terrible. It's awesome! And I'll show you and prove it to you." I said going up to the Spade.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

My footsteps got the Spade's attention. "I know what you're thinking punk. You're thinking that I'm an intruder intruding on the Red Queen's property... Now to tell you the truth I'm actually here to see your mistress with my party... I can sense that you're strong like your fellow Spades... You could ask yourself a question... Do I feel lucky?... Well do ya, punk?" Before the Spade Marshal could attack me, I attacked first.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"EVIL CONTAINMENT!" I pushed my arms out and opened my hands and the green energy storm appeared from me. "URRAAAGGHHHH!" Then the Spade got trapped in the wave. "WHAT IS THIS TECHNIQUE?!" "A TECHNIQUE FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANIME!" "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! HOW CAN WORTHLESS HUMANS DEFEAT ONE OF THE 4 SPADES?! WE ARE INVINCIBLE!" "HOW CAN WE BE WORTHLESS IF WE'VE GOT YOU TRAPPED?! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH!" The March Hare walked up to me holding the Cask. "THAT'S RIGHT! YOU UNDER ESTIMATE HUMANS! YOU PAY THE PRICE!" I said.

"SO SAY GOODBYE!" The March Hare and I shouted at the same time. Then I aimed the trapped spade at the cask. "HERE HE COMES! NOW!" I ordered. "RIGHT!" Shouted the March Hare as she opens the cask up and then the trapped Spade was sucked into the cask then the March Hare closed the cask up. I stopped and the energy disappeared. I breathed from exhaustion. "Whew. That took a lot out of me. I pulled of a move that Future Trunks and Future Mai used on Future Zamasu." I said. "That was amazing! You really pulled it off Patrick-sama!" The March Hare then wrapped her arms around me that got me blushing instantly.

"*giggle* seems like Patrick-sama's Evil Containment Wave might have got the Bunny Girl interested and raised her affection level very high." Said Rita. However, Bronya had a tick mark on her head and an angry face. "Hey! Don't put the blame on me! Put the blame on the March Hare! And could you at least help me get her off of me! Or else I'll use the Evil Containment Wave on you!" I begged. "Project Bunny, Fire!" Bronya made Project Bunny appear and prepared to fire but luckily the March Hare got off of me. "Wait! Stop! I'm done!" Begged the March Hare. Bronya stopped and made Project Bunny disappear. "That was very indecent Bunny Girl." Said Bronya. "Received: [Cryptic Card A] x1." The System spoke. ""t=7, e=9" What is that supposed to mean?" I asked.

We went to the next Spade and I did the same thing again. "MAFUBA: Evil Containment!" "URRAAAGGHHHH!" "Received: [Cryptic Card B] x1." The System spoke. "g=5, w=80"? This looks like a secret combination code." Said Bronya. "I guess each of the Four Spades will be carrying similar cards." I said. "We should defeat the remaining Spades while alerting as few guards as we can." Said Rita. "Easier said than done. Do we have any special item to counter them?" I asked.

I did the same thing with the third Spade. "MAFUBA: Demon Sealer!" "URRAAAGGHHHH!" "Received: [Cryptic Card D] x1." The System spoke. "The card wrote: "x=0, i=11"." Said Rita. "I wonder where we could use this." I said. Then we sealed the last of the 4 Spades. "Evil Containment Wave!" "URRAAAGGHHHH!" "The card wrote: "l=18, s=4"." Said the March Hare. "I wonder where we could use this." I said. "Received: [Cryptic Card C] x1." The System spoke.

Then we went to the sealed chamber doors and realized something. "Each letter should corresponding to a number." I said. "Subject Patrick seems to have found something." Said Bronya. "Of course. It's very logical. "t=7, e=9"... that's the secret message we collected from the Spade Marshals." ""g=5, w=80" Said the March Hare. ""l=18, s=4"" Said Bronya.  "x=0, i=11"" Said Rita. "And that would be "Lewis". We'll just match each letter to the correct number. 18980114." I said. When the knob was turned to the final number, the lock responded with a resounding clack and opened. We went inside and found a chest. "Hmm, I think this is a piece of Heaven's Patch. Why would they hide the Heaven's Patch in such a deep place? Is it really that valuable?" I asked. "Diviner Fuxi will be the person to ask, subject Patrick." Said Bronya. "Received item: [Spirit of Earth] x1." The System spoke.

"Ah, there's a blueprint at the bottom of the chest." I said. "Item is an advanced state of decay but appears to be design plans for the Gardens. It is party illegible." Said Bronya. "No matter, Bronya. We'll just need to find where the secret rooms and doors are. I'll take it along. Might be of use later on." "Received item: [Old Design Prints] x1." The System spoke.

Now we headed to the exit to go to the next floor. "Portal to another area? There seems to be no end to this garden." I said. "We'll be heading to the antechambers after this, Patrick-sama." Said the March Hare. "The guarde will be stronger there, da?" Asked Bronya. "Well there's no turning back now." I said. "No matter, Patrick-sama. It's too late to turn back now." Said Rita. What? The alarms suddenly went off before I could ask her what she meant. "What?" I asked. "Intruder! Quick! Find them!" A Diamond Guard shouted. "C***. How did they find us?" I asked. "Think about that later, subject Patrick. We need to press forward." Said Bronya.
