~ 1st Person POV ~

     We finally make it to the palace and more importantly, the entrance of Yzma's 'secret' lab.

     "Okay, why does she even have that lever?" Kuzco walks in after we pulled one of the levers, all wet and with a crocodile still on him. I laugh at him as he makes his way over to us and we pull the right lever. This lever drops us into what looks like a roller-coaster. I immediately stop laughing and start blushing when Kuzco falls onto my lap since the seats were only made for two people. A voice talks from nowhere, telling us to remain seated and keep ourselves in at all times. The bar in front of us lowers and I have to wrap my arms around Kuzco before the ride blasts forward, sending us down loop-de-loops.

     Once we reach the bottom, we are launched out of the ride and into Yzma's lab. Dad and Kuzco quickly strip out of the lab coats they somehow got into and we scramble around the lab.

     "What does it look like?" I ask.

     "I don't know, just keep looking." Kuzco replies as he examines different liquids.

     Dad calls us over to a cabinet and we start searching it until...

     "Oh, my. Looking for this?" Yzma steps out of the shadows with the potion that will turn Kuzco human again.

     "No, it can't be. How did you get here before us?" Kuzco questioned.

     Yzma goes to answer before pausing and turning to Kronk. "How did we, Kronk?"

     "Well you got me. By all accounts, it doesn't make sense." Kronk pulls out a map from nowhere with a red dashed line and a purple arrowed line.

     "Oh well, back to business."

     Kuzco speaks up. "Ok, maybe I wasn't as nice as I should have been, but Yzma, do you really want to kill me?"

     Yzma starts to menacingly approach us. "Just think of it as you're being let go, that your life is going in a different direction, that your body is part of the outplacement.

     "Hey, that's kind of like what he said to you when you got fired." Kronk interrupted.

     "I know. It's called cruel irony, like my dependence on you."

     Rude, lady.

     "I can't believe this is happening!" Kuzco freaked out.

     "Then I bet you weren't expecting this."

     Yzma started to lift up her dress, causing Dad, Kuzco, and I to close our eyes and face away. Luckily, she just had a knife strapped to her thigh. Then she threw the knife to Kronk with the order to finish us off. Kronk looked confused on what to do before... talking to himself? We all looked at each other confused before Yzma decided to interrupt his conversation with himself.

     "Kronk! Why did I think you could do this? This one simple thing. It's like I'm talking to a monkey. A really really big strip monkey named Kronk! And you want to know something else? I've never liked your spinach puffs."

     Oh she went there! That's low, that's real low, Yzma.

     Suddenly Kronk used the knife to cut the rope that was holding up the chandelier. The chandelier fell with a thud, but revealed a really mad Yzma standing in the middle of it, completely unharmed.

     "Strange. That usually works." Kronk commented.

     "And so does this!" Yzma ran off to the side and pulled a lever that looked like a vial, opening the floor beneath Kronk and causing him to fall.

     Dad tried to grab the potion for Yzma's hand, causing them to get into a fight. Kuzco head-butted Yzma off of Dad into the vial cabinet, and as we chased after the vial, Yzma knocked the cabinet over.

     Yzma taunted us we searched through the scattered potions on the floor. "Which one, which one? Better hurry, I'm expecting company."

     The walls opened up to reveal dozens of guards. Yzma yelled that we killed the emperor, sending the guards towards us. I started gathering as many vials as I could, telling Dad and Kuzco to do the same. Dad bumped a table of liquids onto a hoard of uncoming guards, transforming them into a wide array a animals.

     As we ran down a flight of stairs, Dad gives Kuzco a potion to try to change him back. With a poof, Kuzco turned into... a turtle. Quickly I picked him up and held him to my chest. To escape another set of guards, we slid down the side of another staircase. At the bottom was more guards, so I pulled out a vial.

     "Please be something with wings," I pleaded.

     Giving it to Kuzco, we were sent into the air.

     "Oh yeah! We're flying!" Kuzco cheered, until he realized he was a small red bird.

     We fell to the ground and had to run away, again, from the guards.

     "We're not getting anywhere, I'm picking the next vial."

     Kuzco picked one from Dad, drank it, and... turned into a whale. Kuzco's sudden weight caused the bridge we were standing on to break, sending us down into the water below. Dad threw a potion into Kuzco's mouth as Yzma ordered for the canal to drained, and Kuzco turned back into a llama.

     "Yay! I'm a llama again! Wait..."

     Suddenly the canal was drain, sucking us into a whirlpool. Our journey ended with us hanging out of the nostril of some statue before we started climbing up the face. Once we made it to the top, we pulled out the vials we had left.

     "Okay, we have two vials left. It's gotta be one of these." Dad said.

     Yzma came out of no where and knocked Dad and Kuzco over, sending the vials flying. Kuzco and I rushed to the vials with Yzma following soon after. A big puff of smoke covers everything after one of the vials was crushed. Once it clears, it is revealed that Yzma... turned into a cat.

     "I'll take that," Kuzco says as he snatches the last vial.

     "Alright, Kuzco. This is it, this is the one." I said excitedly.

~ 3rd person POV ~

     As Kuzco got ready to drink it, Yzma jumped up and attacked his face. Pacha and (Y/N) reached forward to help him, but Pacha was pushed back off the ledge. Falling, he was able to grab the edge of an eye, although his grip wasn't very good.

     "Dad!" (Y/N) called out.

     "Get Kuzco to drink the potion!" he called back.

     Kuzco got Yzma off of him by hitting her into wall and was ready to drink the potion... until he found out he didn't have it.

     Yzma triumphantly held up the vial, "Looking for this?" Wait a minute... "Is that my voice? Is that MY voice? Oh well."

     She held the potion over the edge as Kuzco begged her not to drop it. She did the whole 'reveal her master plan' and then tried to open the vial, failing horribly. In a fit of anger, Yzma threw it against the wall. It bounced off and ended up on a ledge further down. (Y/N) chased after the vial and struggled to reach for it. Pacha started calling out as he was about to fall and just as he was about let go, Kuzco grabbed him and saved him.

     "Oh no!" The vial falls as (Y/N) tries to grab it, but it ends up literally falling in Yzma's paws. However, it flings away from her and onto another ledge as she hits her head on the structure.

     Together, Kuzco and Pacha climb up to reach the potion. Before they can grab it, however, Yzma snatches it, evilly laughs, and claims she won. With a smash, Kronk hits Yzma with a trapdoor and the potion goes flying once again
(Y/N) catches the potion before helping Pacha and Kuzco up to safety. They all start laughing and hugging each other in relief. Awkwardly, they stop and (Y/N) opens up the vial for Kuzco, handing it to him with a soft smile.

     "Well, see you on the other side."
