Alice was pushed up against the wall, but she didn't feel afraid. Max had heard her... she was sure of it.

"Dont give up on us." He repeated softly. His expression changed. "...Alice.." he said. He had stopped looking through her.

Alice sobbed in response, so glad that he was in there.

" I ... I..." he started.

Then Kyo was there, slamming him with a fragment of the concrete wall. As Max was knocked unconscious, Alice slid to the floor, his power over her broken.

The soldiers rushed in, grabbing Max and dragging him out of the cell.

"No!" Alice yelled, scrabbling to her feet, trying to grab him, but he was already gone.

" Please dont fight them. They are not going to hurt him. They are going to take him to get checked out." Stacy said from outside the cell. Alice remembered that everyone had been watching. The fight left her, she felt shaky and weak. For a moment, she was sure, just a moment... Max had recognised her. He was still in there.

Alice slowly walked over to Kyo. "Are you alright?" she asked. Though she wished she had more time to speak to Max, she couldn't be mad at the girl. "Thank you for saving me," she said. "It was really brave of you to face him." A few tears escaped and rolled down Alice's cheeks. "He was a good person," she said sadly. "He would never mean to hurt you. I'm sorry for getting you into that mess."

Alice walked out of the cell and over to Stacy. "You got here just in time," she said, smiling. "I'm glad you're alright! I learned some things from Max," she said softly to the group. "But I still don't know what happened to us in the meantime. Do you know what's going on? Or where Meg is?" she asked Stacy.

Seeing Max again... and learning of Giratina, Alice was more determined than ever to help fight. She would find her Pokemon, if it was the last thing she did.
