"It's easier if I show you..." Eli whispered as he lead Alice and Jianyu down the winding halls of the Underworld. Placing his arrow between two larges, spiral painted doors, Liquid wedged them open.
Hundreds of small, metallic doors lined the walls of the chamber. Each one was well polished and tame in design compared to the rest of the Underworld. Each one was engraved with a single name and a number, and a small, blue glass viewing window.
Several names jumped out to Alice and Jianyu.
M.Renfred, S2477A
C.Hatori S2478B
E.Ainsworth S2479A
C.White S3188A
J.Thunderfoot S3190A
M.Bison S3200B
"Don't touch anything..." Eli snapped as he ran his finger from door to door. "I know she's here somewhere... Yes!"
Eli wrapped his fingers around the handle of draw S990, M.Marvel.
With a Click and a beep, the came sliding open. Like a tray at a morgue, the body of a young woman rolled out on long metal bed.
"I saw her talking to him when I first arrived..." His fingers traced a long, freshly stitched wound across her right arm. "He's been experimenting on her. Running tests. If anyone knows where Arcade's main computer is, its--"
The Girl sat up suddenly and screamed. She wrapped her fingers around the edge of her Metal bed. He strength was enough to crush the steel..
"Where... Where am I!" She cried, grappling ahold of Eli's collar for support. "No... No you!!" She screamed again. "You're with him!!!" She pushed him away. Not realising her own strength, she sent the young boy flying across the room. "Get away from me!!!"
[HONK-HONK]
A strange noise echoed down the hall.
"Oh no... Oh no no no no..." The Girl howled. "It's coming back!!!"

By the time Vanitas made arrived in the Underworld, Alice, Eli and Jianyu had already vanished down one of Circus's many winding corridors. Finding them would be a trial in itself, unless...
[HONK HONK]
A strange noise echoed from a nearby corridor. A strange shadow disappeared down the hall. Vanitas wasn't alone. Someone else- or something else- was loose in the circus. He could make out the sound of wheels turning. Of cogs churning. A mechanical creature was stalking the halls in search of the wandering Champions...
In the distance, he could make out the muffled screams of a young girl.

"?!" Alice gasped as she saw three familiar names, reaching out to one of them and placing her hand on the handle just as Eli snapped at them not to touch anything. Scowling she nearly gave herself whiplash as she turned to face Eli then.
"The fuck do you mean don't--" she started to snap back, only to stop when he let one of the people stuck here out and explained that experiments had been performed. Did....did that mean that even Chise and Renfred and...?
She was snapped out of her thoughts when Eli was thrown, moving quickly to catch him before he got hurt any worse, her gaze landing on the woman freaking out.
"Calm down, we're not here to hurt you." She glanced down at Eli for a moment and checked for any injuries.
"We're here to put an end to this whole fucked up mess and get everyone home, this brat included." She said matter-of-factly as she made sure Eli was on his feet again before the woman started freaking out again.
If whatever made that noise was a fucking clown she was going to make Arcade eat his own tie on top of beating the shit out of him.
"What is 'it', exactly?" She asked, calm in the stressful situation. Someone had to be, and she was going to be in guardian mode if she had to protect the others after all so she had to try and stay calm instead of getting irritated right off the bat.
