The Lost Elevator prologue (dandy’s world AU)

Instructions

Prologue (Arthur) Arthur ran down the locked rooms as fast as he could. He had to find the remaining toons. After what happened with Delilah and dandy he knew something sketchy was happening. ‘Why did she hide all this from me?’ He thought as he tried to break down the door the toons were supposedly in. After a few painful attempts he managed to break the door that revealed to hold all of toons, except the 12 missing and Dandy.. “what happened here?” He shouted in disbelief. The toons were in poor condition and looked starved.Filled with fear he added “you guys need to follow me now. I know how to get out” “but Delilah blocked the exit.! I saw it when we tried to leave..” Shouted sprout from a corner,not far from cosmo. “I know another one.” The toons had faces of disbelief as they raced back down the hall and to the elevator. “The elevator won’t work. Delilah will know if we use it.” Looey said somberly.”well, it’s our only way out. The stairs can’t reach Golden elevator” Arthur responded sternly as he called for the elevator.”the what??” The toons said collectively as the door opened. “I’ll explain in the elevator,for now everyone will have to squeeze inside, sorry” As they descended far beyond the known floors of gardenview Arthur explain how he had been working on a project that would allow anyone to travel into other gardenview worlds by entering a number in the Golden Elevator. “I had to put my bachelors degree in engineering on something, I tried to convince Delilah to-…never mind.we’re here.” It was a wide room, it looked to be a garage floor but without any trucks or parking spots, instead a giant gold elevator was there, surrounded by wires and buttons.”is this why you disappeared last year.?” Shelly whispered. “Yes. I didn’t realize what terrible things Delilah did to you toons while I was away..” Arthur said with remorse. As he went to power the elevator,the one they entered moments before left to pick another person. Panic swept through the room as they realized what doom awaited them in a few minutes. The golden elevator door opened and Arthur directed the toons inside the elevator. Once everyone was in he typed in a number “Arthur hurry!” Shelly squealed. But Arthur didn’t move. He looked up at the toons he loved so dearly with tears in his eyes.”I can’t come with you.” He said hoarsely “but-!” Shelly said desperately “someone has to destroy this elevator, my friend.” He said as the door shut,sending the toons to who knows where. Arthur began destroying the elevator as fast as he could, making sure Delilah couldn’t use it. As the room began to burn from overheating the normal elevator door opened and Delilah and Dandy walked walked out. “Well well, Aurthur. I see you put your bachelors degree to good use.” “It’s to late now, Delilah. Their gone.you can’t hurt them anymore.” “Oh I know. But that doesn’t mean I can’t hurt you.” “You wouldn’t-“ “oh I wouldn’t “” you. I still need you to build me something.” “Never!” Arther shouted as he threw the final paper into the fire. “Ah. Poor Arthur. You’ve just made this a lot harder than it was supposed to be. Dandy, be a dear and take care of Arthur?I must attend to this fire.” Delilah said bitterly. Dandy stepped forward, transforming into a monstrous form of himself “d-dandy-? Please I-I know your in there, you don’t have to listen to her..!” But Dandy said nothing and grinned. *slash* … …. . …. - - - -.- , .-. .. - - . …. - ?
