The group walks along the path, sleep deprived, but still ready to do whatever they need to do. Itward's aura gun has turned back into the cartridge, now staying on his pack in a side pocket that's easy to reach.
Midnight: "Man… I'm SO tired right now…"
Fran: "Same here… We should be far enough from Springtrap now, under this big tree over here should be a good place to rest."
Itward: "I still have a bit more energy, I will keep guard while the two of you get some rest."
Fran: "Thanks Itward."
Itward: "No problem."
Fran and Midnight collapse under the tree and immediately fall asleep. When Fran wakes up, Midnight is leaning against their shoulder, and Itward is carefully takes Midnight off of their shoulder and lays him against a rock. Fran climbs the tree to get a good vantage point to see where Itward is. They spot him in the distance staring at something beyond their vision. Fran walks over to Itward, seeing that Itward is in awe.
Fran: "What's up?"
Itward: "I can't believe it."
Fran: "What now?"
Itward: "We did it."
Fran: "What'd we do?"
Itward: "We found our way out of here!"
Fran: "We did?!"
Itward: "Yes! Look!"
Itward points to a tall tower, in the sky above the tower is a portal looking down at the tower, which has claw like figures holding the portal. A mysterious, deadly looking aura surrounds the whole tower, visually showing itself through black and red particles floating about.
Fran: "Holy crap! We did! We HAVE to tell Mr. Midnight about this!"
Itward and Fran rush over to Midnight, who is still peacefully sleeping. Fran slides over to him and shakes him wildly.
Fran: "MIDNIGHT YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP!"
Midnight instantly snaps awake.
Midnight: "WHAT?! Is that robot back?!"
Fran: "No, we're not in danger! We found the portal out of here!"
Midnight: "Really?!"
Fran: "Yep!"
Midnight: "Like, you're serious?!"
Fran: "Yep!"
Midnight: "This isn't some kind of prank just to wake me up?!"
Fran: "This is no trick! After all these years of searching, we know where it is now!"
Midnight: "Oh my god! We did it!"
Fran: "Exactly!"
The group runs as fast as they can towards the tower with a sudden burst of energy, their whole lives in hell have been waiting for this moment. They're not about to let it go to waste. They get to the base of the tower, it's the size of five skyscrapers.
Itward: "Finally. We're here. This looks like it's going to be a hard and long final push. You ready?"
Fran: "You know it!"
Midnight: "Why wouldn't we?"
Itward: "Alright then, let us go."
Itward shoves the double doors open, revealing long and twisted pathways made of different colored tiles, at the end is an elevator. The group gets pulled in by an invisible force, shutting and locking the doors behind them. Itward pulls out his weapon cartridge and crushes it, the aura assault rifle appearing in his hands.
Fran: "These tiles look like they are supposed to have a function that's color coded. What do you think those could be?"
Itward: "Well the tiles are pink, red, orange, purple, yellow, blue, and green. If these were basic tiles I'd think blue is water, red is fire, yellow is electricity, and green is grass."
Midnight: "Maybe they all summon a monster that corresponds to the color tile?"
Fran: "Well only one way to find out!"
Fran jumps onto the tile in front of them, a pink one… Nothing happens…
Fran: "Or maybe they're just for decoration…"
Fran takes another step forward onto a yellow tile, it instantly electrocutes them.
Fran: "Owowowowowowow! Okay, Itward was right, they're elemental!"
Itward: "If my predictions were correct, then you should be able to step on the green one with only having to deal with grass beneath your feet."
Fran: "That sounds good."
Fran steps on the green tile next to them, an alarm goes off and a gooey demon shaped monster falls out of the ceiling.
Fran: "Gah!"
Itward: "Get down!"
Itward shreds the monster to bits with aura bullets, pieces scattering everywhere. The ones that land on the red tiles spontaneously combust on impact, and the ones that land on the orange and purple tiles get sprayed with some kind of scented spray, but the ones on the purple slide to the next tile. About five of the pieces land on green tiles, summoning more monsters.
Fran: "Well, at least we know what the tiles do now."
Itward: "Only problem is there are a bunch of monsters, and killing one with the only ranged weapon we have summons more."
Fran: "We'll figure out the solution to that when we need to, it seems like they know that they are too big, and that if they took one step they would die in some horrible way."
Midnight: "You're the genius, Itward! You lead us through the maze, and Fran and I can take care of the monsters with our weapons."
Fran: "You mean I kill them with my sword and you stay back saying you'll do something when you need to and end up never doing anything?"
Midnight: "Well… Ya… But I want to at least sound useful…"
Fran: "That's okay, I'm sure you'll come in handy in one the other floors of this place. Now then, Itward. Lead the way!"
The group wanders around the place, using problem solving techniques to get across gaps with green and red tiles, nearly falling into yellow ones. One time, after stepping in an orange tile, Midnight smells like oranges. He steps in a blue tile, which feels wet under his feet. Piranhas attack him right then, and trying to get him out of there, Fran slips on a purple tile into the blue tile with Midnight. The piranhas flee away from them.
Midnight: "Fran, you smell like lemons."
Fran: "Huh, must've been the purple tile. Apparently piranhas don't like lemons?"
Midnight: "Seems like it."
The group finishes the puzzle, and stumbles into the elevator.
Fran: "Alright, next floor!"
Itward: "Actually, we can go straight to the top."
Fran: "Oh… Well let's do that then!"
Itward presses the button to go to the top floor, the group ready to finally get out of here.
