Testing Time
"I wish the Lich never even existed!" Finn exclaimed.
With a blink of an eye, Prismo made his wish and Finn disappeared.
"Finn! Where is he?!" Jake panicked.
"Oh, when he said the Lich never existed, he went to a dimension where the Lich never existed in. A planet called Earth... I think.." He said as he scratched his head.
~.~Meanwhile with Finn. Finn's POV~.~
I woke up, only to hear the sound of the announcer speaking. He sounded very mechanic and not quite right.
"Good morning, you have been in suspension for nine-nine-nine-nine... nine-"
Jeez! Have I really been asleep for that long?... Wait.. WHERE THE FLIP AM I?! I jumped out of bed and grabbed a nearby... glass...object..with a light source object in it and what looked like a hat on the top of it that seems to be screwed on. I suspected my surroundings to be sure if i'm alone. I heard a knock on the door and I dropped the glass thingy, which broke making me even more jumpy than I already felt.
I hoped that was Jake.. i'm kinda scared a bit and had no idea where I was or what would happen to me but I had one clear motive on my mind, get the math out of here! I rushed to the door and opened it, only to be happy to see Jake. I think he stretched himself into some weird sphere, also thinking he was sick by the second I heard his voice, which had a very ridiculous accent I couldn't put my finger on.
"GAH! YOU LOOK TERRI- I mean great! Good actually!" Jake sputtered.
I tried to speak, but my throat suddenly burned and throbbed. I winced in pain and rubbed my eyes. I looked back at Jake, but notice it wasn't him. A blue eye stared back at me. I got confused.
"You have been under cryo-sleep for.. um.. QUITE alot longer.. and you may have a veeerry minor case of serious brain damage" it spoke.
I stared to freak out.
"Don't be alarmed, alright? Although, if you are alarmed, try to.. hold onto that feeling, because that is the proper reaction of being told you have brain damage" it continued.
As I continued to quote 'be alarmed' millions of thoughts and questions formed into my mind all at once. Things like even if I do get out of here, would I ever be able to speak again? How would Flame react? Would she freak out and go onto another rampage? and what's the deal with this thing telling me I have brain damage?
"Are you understanding what I said? At all? Does any of this make any sense? Just tell me, 'yes'."
Furious with the stupid object in front of me and my inability to speak, I knew my next best thing. Jumping. I jumped partly out of anger and to show that I understood.
"Okay, what you did there was jumping, but never mind. Say 'Apple'. 'Aaaaple'."
I would have thrown an apple at this stupid blue thing's head?...Body?... whatever, but too bad I couldn't find anything with fruit in it. I just jumped again.
"Okay, that's good enough. Oh! I forgot to tell you, my name is Wheatley. Look, i'm gonna get us out of here, but I hope SHE doesn't wake up" Wheatley said.
The announcer said something, but I seriously didn't care.
"It said prepare! Just understand it's prepare, look, I'm gonna get us out of here right now. You might wanna hang onto something." Wheatley said as he disappeared into the ceiling. The whole room started moving.
Suddenly, half of the room just tore off. I quickly panicked and hung onto the closet rail for my dear life.
"You need to find a gun that'll help us get out of here! Not bullet holes, but- never mind, you'll figure it out! I think that's a docking station!" Wheatley yelled out as he made the room crash into it.
"Good news! That is not a docking station!"
IS HE TRYING TO KILL ME?! I held on tighter and shut my eyes.
"Hang on! This might get a little bit technical!" I prepared for the impact as the room met the whatever he's crashing into. All I heard was a loud crash. I wasn't really sure if I was still alive or not.
I opened my eyes and sighed with relief and let go of the rail. I was still alive and there's bits and bits of wall pieces everywhere. Wheatley came back and sounded like he was smiling, "Okay then, off you go"
I glared at him and walked over to the teared off part of the room and saw a glass roof.
"That's the spirit!" I heard Wheatley cry out.
As I stepped onto the glass, it crashed. I winced in pain and looked at my left hand and saw a huge red line, gushing with red liquid. I checked my surroundings and found myself in a glass box. I sighed and teared off a piece of my jumpsuit- WAIT A SECOND! WHERES MY CLOTHES AND HOW THE HECK DID I NOT SEE THIS?!
I was wearing an orange jacket and baggy pants. Instead of my usual black shoes and white socks, it's replaced with some white boots with black hooks on the back that is seemingly making me a bit taller. I ignored it and tied the cloth onto my wound and tightened it. As soon as I was satisfied, I took off the jacket and tied it around my waste. When I looked up, a blue circular thing appeared in front of me. What is this? Some sort of portal? I realized something... my hat was gone. I immediately touched my head and felt nothing but hair.
But that's other problems for me. My real problem is what the flip this thing is! I stuck my hand out. Nothing. I poked my head out. Still nothing. I jumped out and I noticed i'm out of the glass box. I got really confused but went ahead.
*later*
"Hey! Up here!" I heard Wheatley call out. I met his gaze and slightly grinned. At least I'm not alone anymore.
"I think I see a portal gun over there, on that podium, how about you go check it out... um... you.. never told me your name..." he stated.
I looked at the ground and found some dirt. I dug my right finger into it and wrote 'Finn' on the dirty white wall.
"Ohh Finn right?," I nodded, "good! So, go see if it's there Finn... what an unusual name..."
Well so is yours you waste of space...
I walked towards the podium, only for the floor to be broken and fell. I landed in some sort of dirty water and grunted.
"Oh no! ARE YOU STILL ALIVE? I probably shouldn't have asked that... um.. Do you see the portal gun down there? If your still alive, i'll meet you up ahead!"
The voice stopped. I sighed and trudged forward. I saw paintings everywhere. There was a girl... she looked... human... she looked like an angel from Glob...
I looked around and saw a what looks like a freshly painted wall. It was me... with this girl. I was holding Wheatley and she was holding a gun thing...
It said it red 'Only the purest of two can make it' and 'Hope is within their hands... Aperture WILL fall apart'.
Aperture...
I looked at my tank top, it had a logo with the words 'Aperture Laboratories' written on it. I looked back at the girl. She was wearing the same thing. I saw a stand and there was the gun thing he picture had. I ran up to it and picked it up. I raised an eyebrow and stuck my right hand in it.
I shot a portal and went through it. After a few tests, I finally met up with Wheatley.
"Oh good! You got the portal gun! Portal over here!" He said. I did so.
"Okay.. lemme lay this on ya, they told me never ever ever to disengage myself from my management rail.. but we're out of options here. So get ready to catch. One.. two..." he went high, but then he went low, "Too high, too high! I'll let go on the count of three. Three! CATCH ME CATCH ME CATCH ME-"
I grabbed him quickly with my left hand.
"Oh good, you caught me! Hook me onto that stick thing over there" Wheatley looked at some sort of weird machine that is merged into the wall.
I hooked him onto the thingy and he didn't do anything. I tilted my head and raised my eyebrow, he's not doing anything.
"Right.. um.. I can't do it while your looking at me. Could you just turn around?" he asked.
I rolled my eyes and turned around. I heard a few beeps and got suspicious.
"Bam! Door's open! Pick me up now," I picked him up with the end of my portal gun and walked towards the other room that wheatley opened up.
"Now we could go wherever we want. Wait, where are we going exactly? Gah! I just looked down. Nyah! I looked down again! Would not recommend it."
I wish he would shut the math up! But I need him in order to escape AND find Jake.
We got to a door that seems very huge. I noticed Wheatley is getting really nervous.
"I don't wanna go in there, I don't wanna go in there-" the door opens, "Oh she's off, she's off, don't panic"
I saw some sort of robotic thing laying on the ground, completely destroyed.
"There she is. What a nasty piece of work she was. Do you know who ended up taking her down in the end? A human! I know, can't believe it either!"
ANOTHER HUMAN! OH THANK GLOB IM NOT THE ONLY ONE-
"But apparently, this human escaped, and nobody has seen her since"
MOTHER FLUBBER!
I started walking towards some huge thingy that said "Incinerator". That reminded me so much of Flame... oh man I miss her. I looked to my left and saw two black arrows pointing to somewhere. I followed and found stairs. Eventually, as I went down, I stopped because part of the stairs are broken off.
"Your going to have to jump. Please hang onto me! Your a really great jumper!" Wheatley whined.
I almost growled in annoyance. I jumped and this annoying hunk of junk SCREAMED.
"OH GOOD! Still being held onto! okay, we're going to the main breaker room. To your left, Finn"
I wish I could throw you off the magical walkway thing. But your my only hope.
Walking to the left and entering the breaker room, he said "Find the switch that says 'Escape Pod'. Alright? Don't touch anything else"
I couldn't find it in this flippen darkness.
"Can you see it anywhere? I can't see it anywhere. Uh. Tell you what, plug me in and I'll turn the lights on."
I found the stick thing in front of me and I plugged him in. Suddenly, the lights turned on.
"'Let there be light.' That's, uh... God. I was quoting God" Wheatley blabbered.
Who's God? I know Glob.. but not God...
The thing started turning. I started to get nervous.
"Oh! Look at that. It's turning. Ominous. But probably fine. Long as it doesn't start moving up... Now, escape pod... escape pod..." Wheatley started searching for the...whatever it is.
Then the thing started moving up and turning all the switch things up
"It's... It's moving up. Okay! No, don't worry! Don't worry! I've got it I've got it I've got it! THIS should slow it down!," It started going faster, "Uh oh.."
We are now at the very tippy top, where this so called AI is. I watched helplessly as her body started to move.
"Okay don't panic! Allright? Stop panicking! I can still stop this. Ahh. Oh there's a password. It's fine. I'll just hack it. Not a problem... umm... A...A...A...A...A... Umm... A."
BEEEEP
"Nope. Okay. A... A... A... A... A... C."
BEEEEP
"No. Wait, did I do B? Do you have a pen? Start writing these down."
I would if I had ANYTHING to write with!
"Okay. Okay. Okay listen: New plan. Act natural act natural. We've done nothing wrong."
She is now fully awake.
"Hello!" Wheatley called out.
"Oh, it's ANOTHER worthless test subject. How have you been? I've been really busy being dead, you know, after when one of YOUR kind MURDERED ME!"
"WAIT, WHAT!?" Wheatley gasped.
Two metal claws grabbed me and him separately, "Look, I know I'm gonna say alot of things i'm going to regret."
She crushed Wheatley in front of me. I was terrified and I dropped my portal gun. She threw him carelessly into another direction and hung me over the incinerator as it opens.
"But all that is behind us. Since you went threw all that trouble to wake me up, I could tell that you really really love to test. I love it too. Let's do it, for science, you monster"
She dropped me. I felt airborne, like i'm flying. More like falling for my death. I almost got crushed a few times, but I landed in a pile of junk.
"Here we are. The Incinerator Room. Be careful not to trip over any parts of me that didn't get completely burned when the LAST subject threw them down here. The dual portal device should be around here somewhere. Once you find it, we can start testing. Just like old times."
I made my way through the garbage and entered a room.
"There it is. Hold on..." she moved stuff around so I could grab it, "There."
I picked it up
"Good. You have a dual portal device. There should be a way back to the testing area up ahead. Once testing starts, I'm required by protocol to keep interaction with you to a minimum. Luckily, we haven't started testing yet. This will be our only chance to talk."
I made my way to the testing grounds as she began to talk.
"You know, if you'd done that to somebody else, they might devote their existence to exacting revenge? I thought it was interesting since your new. My name is GLaDOS. You don't need to say your name, I already know, Finn"
I got creeped out by this maniac of a woman. I stared at the door with a blue person on it, there goes my chance to escape.
BAM AND DONE! Thank god ;A; my fingers were burning! This is maybe the longest page I've done in the past year XD
