Author's Note: Here's the next chapter in Yzma's Story! Unfortunately, guys, this story is still on hold. This is merely a chapter that I had typed up months ago. Enjoy!
Chapter 3
Yzma had run without stopping for twenty full minutes. As a cat, she was able to go ten times as fast as she could back in her, ahem, "younger" years when she was a high school track and field champion. Finally, she was inside the palace standing at her now dusty statue of a strange animal that looked like a cross between a warthog and an elephant. Yzma jumped as high as she could and just missed the right lever. Giving herself a ten feet head start this time, Yzma ran to the statue and leaped onto the right lever. Unfortunately, she was not heavy enough to push the lever down. She then climbed on top of the head of the animal and leaped onto the edge of the lever which finally gave way and caused the wall to spin.
"Please remain seated and keep your paws and whiskers in at all times," a voice said as Yzma found herself strapped into a roller coaster car. The car zoomed down a steep hill and rushed through arches that looked like cats with open mouths! Gaining speed, the roller coaster shot into three sharp turns. Yzma did nothing but hold onto the safety bar and frown, refusing to even watch the track. At last the ride came to an end and the sudden stop released the safety bar and shot Yzma into a lab suit which did not fit her. Yzma scurried out of it and ran over to her potion table.
The potion table was a little on the empty side. Actually, it was flat out vacant! There was nothing on it but one cob web.
"Crazy emperors!" Yzma yelled in disgust. "That jerk-face peasant Pacha tipped over my entire chemistry set! It cost me an entire year's earnings of emperor advisor salaries too! I'll have to be sure and return him the favor later on! If I only had one potion I could rearrange the DNA extract inside and make it into the potion that will transform me back into my beautiful self." Yzma banged the stone floor in a fury for five minutes.
When she finished her fit, Yzma looked around her. Water was dripping from a pin hole that she had told Kronk to patch months ago. He had forgotten of course. She could see the roller coaster car being lifted by a claw that would return it to its secret cubby hole behind the secret lab entrance for the next journey down. She looked at her empty vials and test tubes that scattered the floor around the barren table. Some were cracked, others completely shattered, but the more expensive ones were still in one piece. But over in the corner was one bottle that was still corked and full. Even better: it was labeled! How many times she and Kronk had discussed labeling the potions Yzma could not remember. By some chance, however, this potion was labeled. It didn't really matter how it was labeled, although it was most likely one of the first ones she had started to label. She always gave up after potion number fifteen. Yzma crawled over to the corner and rolled it into the dim lighting using her paw. On it was a picture of a flea.
"I'll turn him into a flea," Yzma had begun on her first ever plot to destroy Kuzco, "a harmless little flea. And then, I'll put that flea in a box, and then put that box inside of another box and then I'll mail that box to myself. And when it arrives, AHAHAHAHA! I'LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!"
Yzma couldn't help but smile whenever she thought of this ridiculous and roundabout plan. It really was pointless and costly! How on earth would she be able to afford the postage if she was jobless? It didn't matter now. What did matter was that she was going to rearrange the genetic code in this potion. And then after that, she would connive yet another evil plan to destroy Kuzco. More than likely, she would have to find help. This time, however, she would call on professional help: someone who knew how to be evil.
Rushing around the room and gathering all the tools necessary for a genetic recombination, Yzma began to get really excited. She could not wait until she was human again! But then something occurred to her. She suddenly realized that no one had ever succeeded at a genetic potion recombination. She waved the thought off and started working.
Thirty minutes had passed by and Yzma believed she had succeeded! After all, she had just done everything she could to the flea potion. With thoughts about what would happen if she hadn't succeeded (explosions, time paradoxes, teleportation without a destination or disintegration), Yzma drank the potion. There was no poof. Nor was there a load of pink sparkles. Nothing happened. Well nothing aside from the fact that Yzma was now her human self again.
Yzma looked down at herself. She was a human, wearing the exact same outfit that she had worn when she was first turned into a cat. Quickly, she pulled her lab suit over what she was wearing and laughed in triumph using her old human voice. "AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I win! YZMA IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCKKK!"
