Chapter 7: Captured Toads
Looks like I came back for more! Toadette's about to save our main Toad. Let's go!
Toadette came out of the painting with the star.
"Boy, am I one star closer to saving everyone. Where to next?" Toadette said to herself.
Toadette walked around the castle to look for more Power Stars when she spotted a door with a number 1 upstairs.
"Hmm..." Toadette looked at it.
Toadette decided to walk upstairs to investigate when suddenly, the star in her pocket starts reacting.
"Huh?" Toadette said as the star started spinning like crazy and magically opened the door.
"Oh, I get it, I'll need a certain amount of stars to get through a door! Got it!" Toadette said.
Toadette walked through the door and she saw four doors. One regular door, one red door, one blue door, and one yellow door with Toad emblems respectively. Toadette heard muffled screaming behind each door.
"Someone help! Princess! Save us!" Toad called for help on the other side of the door.
"Aaaaah! We're gonna be stuck inside forever!" Yellow Toad shrieked on the other side of the door.
"Aw man, I didn't join you guys to get locked up! You owe me big time, Toads!" Blue Toad was growling on the other side of the door.
"Toad?" Toadette called.
"Huh, Toadette, is that you?" said Toad on the other side of the door.
"Yep, it's me! I have come to rescue you!" Toadette said.
"Yay! Hope has arrived! Hey, girl, remember me?" Yellow Toad said on the other side of the door.
"Hi, Yellow!" Toadette said to Yellow Toad on the other side of the door.
"Hey, what's going on out here?" Blue Toad said on the other side of the door.
"Who's behind the blue door?" Toadette asked the two Toads behind two doors.
"Oh, that's our friend or our cousin, Blue Toad, he's rather bad. He basically forced us to take him with us. Anyways, am I glad to see you, Toadette! Well, I can't actually see because I'm on the other side of the door but you know what I mean." Toad said.
"How did you guys get locked up in here?" Toadette asked the three locked up Toads.
Toad told Toadette his story. "Well, it all started when we walked into the castle. The Mario brothers told us all about getting locked up in the walls and we agreed to go on our seperate ways to get back the stars. But then I was captured by that big bad Goomba with a crown, and next thing I should know, I'm locked up in here and there is no way out. I'm sure something that captured me has the key to my door."
"As for me, that scary Boo ambushed me and locked me up. I wish I could've just scared it away using Luigi's vacuum, but no way. Not unless Professor E. Gadd has Luigi's permission to let me use his vacuum." Yellow Toad said.
"I was captured by some chilly Chief, but not Green Toad after I made him do the chores around my house." Blue Toad said.
"Gee, that sounds like a lot of hard work that Green Toad could do, Blue." Toadette said.
"Anyways if you can find these keys, we can stop Bowser together as a team!" Toad said.
"Great! Do you guys have any idea where the baddies live?" Toadette asked the three locked up Toads.
"Well, all I can find in this room was a hint. It says here, "You enjoy games? Look behind this room" and I think they were talking about the Rec Room. That isn't very far from here. It should be simple." Toad said.
"Mine says "Yellow was here" but I can't figure out what that means? What about you, Blue?" Yellow Toad said.
"Uh, it just says "I'm blue, but if I looked in the mirror, I would die" and yeah, mine doesn't sound good." Blue Toad said.
"You think you got that, Toadette?" Toad said.
"Uh-huh! See you later!" Toadette said.
"Bye bye!" Toad said.
Toadette went through the regular door to find a room with lots of toys, games, and much more.
"Hey there! Welcome to the Rec Room! Our beloved princess used to play games as a child. If you'd like to play a game or two, feel free to do so." Luigi said.
"The Rec Room? Sorry, Weeg, but I'm on a rescue mission. Have you seen anything unusual going on behind this room?" Toadette asked Luigi.
"Well, there is a Toad painting in the back, but I wouldn't go back there if I were you. It's dangerous." Luigi said.
"If it's to save my friends, it's worth it." Toadette said.
"Careful, Toad and the others have not returned." Luigi warned Toadette.
Toadette heads through the door and like Luigi said, there was a painting with Toad's face on it.
"Perfect! Don't worry, Toad, Toadette will be right back!" Toadette said as she jumped through the painting in hopes of finding Toad's key.
