(Y/N) Pov's:
"Partner, wake up" I felt myself shaking and I opened my eyes,
"toadstoll? everything ok?",
"yes but we're here, you have to wake up" I rubbed my eyes:
"since when is the elevator so soft?" I asked, stretching and putting my hands behind my head,
"you're sleeping leaning on Stringer Flynn" I jumped up and looked behind me; Stringer was slumped between the elevator and the floor.
"Should we leave him here?" I asked,
"for now yes, he stays here, as for us, we are in big trouble" he crossed his arms:
"I haven't been to this floor since they abandoned me, the queen, bittergiggle and other people found me, I didn't think I should never have come back down here, but here we are" he looked at the door next to us with a melancholy look, "on this floor there is the queen's scepter, it's our only way to stop all this, it's guarded by the surgeon, but the naughty ones won't stop easily, they will hunt us" while toadstool spoke, I went to open the door;
"Keep talking, but in the meantime let's get out of here" I said.
"What just the naughty ones?" I asked as I walked next to him,
"they look like snails, they are aggressive towards us but they only move in the dark, so if we stay near lights we are safe-" as Toadstool said this, the lights around us went out, leaving the two of us in the dark.
"SHIT, WE'RE GOING TOWARDS THE LIGHT, RUN" Toadstool took off at full speed, running and leaving me behind,
"YOU BAD TOAD DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE HERE AND WAIT FOR ME" I started running after him while I heard many little voices talking behind and around me, I continued to running until I reached a toadstool near a switch:
"we should be ok" he said turning to look at me, I could tell from my face that I was angry with him,
"what's wrong?" he asked confused,
"I'm tired, let me come back to the surface",
"you know you can't-"
"I WAS IRONIC, BUT STOP RUNNING, YOU'RE THE THIRD CREATURE THAT DEMANDS ME TO RUN AT THE SAME SPEED AS YOU, BUT I DON'T HAVE A STRANGE GREEN SUBSTANCE IN MY VEINS THAT GIVES ME SPECIAL POWERS" I screamed, Toadstool remained silent; "a year has passed but you still remain the same, I missed you in the laboratory doctor" I looked at him tiredly and sighed, "it's okay".
We entered a kind of room with a road, some trees and a wooden house, at the end of the road there was a big door with four buttons,
"this is where you were all that time?" I asked,
"I would like to tell you no but unfortunately yes, I have taken refuge here all the time I have been alone, and that is the door that will lead us to the scepter: it needs to be opened with four switches that are scattered around the plan" he said,
"let me guess, I have to find them right?" I rolled my eyes,
"that's right partner" I snorted,
"come on you've faced worse things, like nabnaleena",
"please don't remind me, and then, how do you know?",
"rumours travel fast here.. .and also the gossip" he whispered the last part;
"what do you mean?",
"me? nothing important partner"
