Panel A
Alice rushes into the demons' midst, blocking attacks with the doctor's bag, slashing a path with the bone saw.
ALICE: "Stay back the night; a deeper dark has come."
Panel B
Alice is a whirlwind of flesh and blade, slicing and chopping any demon in reach. She gathers blood, limbs, and gore; makes a tempest of their flesh.
ALICE: "Daughter of the Red Queen."
Panel C
The demons fall back, trying to defend against the fury of one little girl. Alice is relentless. She leaps, flips, rolls amongst the retreating gang of demons. They fall like weeds, pierced by scalpels, saws, and needles.
ALICE: "Daughter of the White Queen."
Panel D
Baba Yaga, chittering with laughter, scuttles off down the hall, away from the carnage. Alice doesn't seem to notice -- she is too intent on the massacre.
ALICE: "Kin of the deep woods, kin of the alleys,"
Panel E
Alice comes to a sudden stillness, master of a gruesome scene. She stands poised for violence amongst the ruined bodies of her attackers. The walls drip with blood and gore, as does she.
ALICE: "They know my name is Alice."
