Disclaimer located at bottom to keep surprise!

Authors Notes: I wanted to do a really fun story. And thanks to a certain game and a slight lack of sleep I came up with the idea for this story. I let it linger for a few weeks to get the feel down and now I have this.

Even though I'm trying to keep things a surprise, you who've played the game will have a better idea of what might happen if you've read the "Chapter Number."

Twins Testing Trouble

By Dark Dragon Dave

Testchamber 01

Data is incomplete. No data on the effect it has on twins exists. What to do? Unfortunately there are no twins in any relaxation chambers. I must know if the effects on twins is the same as single people. I will have to look outside for test subjects.

Processors quickly made choices. Made cancellations. Thought about 45,000 different kinds of cake.

Generating a list of twins worldwide whose parameters meet testing requirements.

Every set of twins on the earth had started out on the list but within a fraction of a second most had been dropped.

3,471,022 matches found. Modifying testing requirements for real world testing. I need subjects that have above average athletic capabilities and are not going to understand the ramifications of their testing. And could be motivated by cake.

1,8000, 640 matches within original list. Narrowing list to females.

774,274 matches. Less than 43 percent? That seems low. It is beneficial however. Narrowing list to those who live near areas with high technology. I will be needing transportation options, after all.

More cake and numbers. Tasty and informative.

70,104 matches. Under 10 percent? Now I am getting somewhere. Now to choose randomly.

Fuka Narutaki and Fumika Narutaki are chosen randomly. I must prepare it for transport to Mahora Academy.

Later.

The box is ready for transport. Accessing all of Mahora Academy's computer and server banks. Total control in 10... 9... 8...

At Mahora Academy

"Sir!" exclaims one of the female technicians. "We're being hacked. It's school wide. It's from outside the school. We can't stop it! It's some kind of super hack!"

"Trace it!"

Before they can do anything, every computer screen attached to the school's network was displaying a circle made of eight grey similarly shaped triangles.

Elsewhere at Mahora, Chisame Hasegawa looks at her laptop screen with a slight bit of anger. "What the?"

Chachamaru is also connected at the time of the hack. "Master?" she asks Evangeline.

"What?"

"I could really use some cake right now."

"What are you going on about? There has to be something wrong with you." Evangeline states. "Cake would just gum you up on the inside."

Simple. My tech is far superior. After browsing their data, which mostly consists of fantasy material, I have noticed that the levels of technology present and a strange permeating radiation will allow me to manipulate my Science within their grounds. This will be a piece of cake. Delicious and moist cake.

Magic? Really now.

All the monitors at Mahora change from the logo to a picture of cake with a pair of pliers next to it.

"What the hell now?" asks the woman who initially noticed the hack. "Cake and pliers?"

"Oh, come on!" exclaims Chisame in a fit of technology induced rage. She performs several three finger salutes to no avail.

Delivering package in 3... 2... 1...

Kaede sits at the table in her room working on her English. An orange rimmed hole in space opens up behind her without drawing the attention of Baka Blue. A cardboard box goes flying out of the dimensional tear and halts its momentum with the help of the back of Kaede's head. It lands on the floor and rolls twice before stopping. The one time she studies and look what happens.

"Ouch. Damn." Several more words spill forth from Kaede's mouth. I'd say what they are but I couldn't earn a "Teen" rating. The wormhole closes before she can turn to look at it. She stands up and walks over to the box while holding the back of her head. It's written mostly in English but she recognizes Fuka Narutaki and Fumika Narutaki written on the box.

Both Fuka and Fumika walk around the robotics club, unaware of the package they've just received. The amount of technology in the room makes it easier for the Science to be manipulated. Several machines come to life. As they look at a robot arm, a blue spatial disturbance opens up underneath them while an orange one opens up above Kaede. The twins fall through the floor of the robotics club and go down through the ceiling of their room to land on the ninja.

All three voice their surprise and discomfort as Kaede lays on the floor and the Narutaki twin lay on Kaede. The holes close as the girls stand up.

"Where did you two come from?" Kaede asks, sick and tired of having things come from nowhere and hit her.

"We were just in the robotics club." Fuka replies.

Fumika follows up. "I don't know how we got here got here. It's like w fell into a hole."

"By the way, now that you are here, you've received a package." Kaede motions to the box. "It hit me in the head when it came from nowhere."

The twins quickly open the package, ignoring the label on the top. They scoop away packing peanuts to uncover what looks like a white robot arm with three delicate, black, fingers and a DVD case. The case had a yellow triangle with a black exclamation point on it. Fuka grabs the "robot arm," leaving Fumika the DVD case, which she flatly ignores.

"What is it?" Fumika asks.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, it's heavy for its size." the oldest twin replies.

"Maybe you should look at the box. Or watch the disk with the yellow triangle and exclamation point on it." Kaede opens the case. There is a pamphlet on the inside which Kaede can't make heads or tales of. "I think we should go see Negi because this pamphlet is written mostly in English." She holds out the leaflet from the case.

Both twins beam as they think of showing their teacher their shiny new toy.

As Kaede walks with her roommates she attempts to read what she gathers are the instructions. What she can read make her head spin. "I' not smart enough to understand any of this" she remarks.

Negi was in his room enjoying a light lunch. A ham and cheese sandwich.

"Negi-kun!" both Narutakis exclaim as they let themselves in. Kaede follows suit since there was no longer any point in being courteous.

"Hello." The dining teacher says as they come in. Fuka sit's the 'arm' down on the table. "What's that?"

"Don't know. Looks like a robot arm. We got it today, so maybe the rest with come later." Fuka answers.

"It's for both of us. She won't even let me see it." Fumika complains.

Negi asks, "Would it be okay if I take a look at it?" They both agree and Negi picks the 'arm' up. "It's heavy for it's size." He looks it over. When he looks at the 'fingered' end, he notices something. "It looks like a camera lens."

"Negi-bozu?"

The boy shifts his focus from the strange piece of technology to the ninja. "Hm?"

"The box it was in came out of nowhere and hit me in the head, then the both of them landed on top of me." The ninja holds out the pamphlet and the disk case. "This stuff came with it. I say we exercise caution and get the most information we can out of these."

Negi sit the 'arm' down and takes both items and starts reading the pamphlet. A few minutes of reading it and the teacher boggles at what lies within. "All I can grasp is that it's some kind of space thing and something about cake and that this disk needs to be put into a computer." He sounded distressed.

"And you're an English teacher?" Kaede asks.

"Yeah, but even I haven't heard of some of these words." The overwhelmed ten-year-old says. "Either way, I still I have that laptop from the class website project, so we can use that."

A minute or so later Negi returns with the laptop. "Here we go." He opens it up, turns it on, and puts the disk in. A movie starts playing.

A Trusted Friend In Science

"Congratulations," a voice that sounds both feminine and mechanical come from the speakers, it pitches higher for the names, "Fuka Narutaki and Fumika Narutaki!" The pitch goes back down. "You have been selected for an Enrichment Center Field Applications Test. The enclosed device is the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. It is capable of creating two linked portals in space. You will be given a battery of tests and upon completion there will be cake." An image of a large chocolate cake with eight raspberries around the top appears on the screen.

And like before, the same image of cake appears all over Mahora's monitors.

"I give up." Chisame stops trying and turns off her computer.

"Cake!" Fuka and Fumika squeal with glee.

"Grief counseling will also be provided should it come to that." The voice says. "Before operating the device, some words of caution. These interdimensional gates have been proven to be quite safe. The device, however, has not."

"Do not touch the operational end of the device." An image the Portal Gun with an arrow leading from a red circle with a line through it to the 'fingered' end of the device appears on screen. "Do not look at the operational end of the device." Negi reacts to this by rubbing his eyes. "Do not submerge the device in liquid, even partially."

Back in the technicians room.

"Send it."

"Right, sir." The technician from before starts typing away.

"This will tech our miscreant a lesson."

In Negi's room the voice continues speaking. "Most importantly, under no circumstances, should you…" The voice buzzes then becomes silent.

"Shouldn't what?" Negi asks. "Hey?" He taps the side of the laptop.

Owww! You are not part of the test. Good-bye!

A blue rimmed portal opens up underneath every person in the room full computers. They appear and disappear one after another, taking them and any chairs they are sitting in.

On the bridge to Mahora, the orange portal spews forth a considerable number of people and chairs. Considerable because, usually, the bridge doesn't spew forth people and chairs, much less anything at all.

"You don't suppose it's a rouge mage, do you?" asks one tech.

Another tech answers, "I don't know."

If you wanted to access your computers, all you had to do was… ask.

"What aren't we supposed to do?" asks Negi for what is the third time.

"Your first test, that will start once you leave the room, will be to reach the Headmaster's Office in less than 14 combined steps. The better you do the better your cake will be. I will be monitoring your progress and will let you know what your next test will be from there. Remember to bring this laptop. Good luck!" The voice stops and the screen goes back to the desktop.

"All right!" Fuka says. "Let's go get some cake."

"Yeah!" Fumika adds and grabs the Portal Gun.

"Hey! Let me use it!" Fuka demands as they run out the door.

"Hey you two!" Kaede beckons. "Wait!" She turns to Negi. "Come on."

Negi stands up and closes the laptop. "Right behind you."

The computers of Mahora return to their original states. This comes to late for Chisame and the technicians.

Fuka and Fumika stop at the doorway. "Hold up." Fuka says as she holds her sister back.

Kaede and Negi stop behind both of them. "Why the sudden pause." Kaede asks.

We were told we could only take 14 combined steps. If we want the best cake we'll need to think this through."

"Okay, so…"

"We don't know how this thing works. I can tell that there are a couple of triggers under here, but from there, I don't know."

"Then let's take some time," Negi interjects, "and figure this out."

15 minutes later, the group is still sitting around, pondering what to do. Joining them is Asuna, who had returned during those 15 minutes.

"I say we give it a test fire." Asuna says. She stands and picks up the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. "Here goes nothing." The red head pulls a trigger and an audible whoop accompanies an orange energy ball which, in turn, is accompanied by enough math to keep even the best physicists busy for a lifetime. The orange ball of energy impacts with the wall and an orange, solid colored, oval appears, splattered on the wall. It ripples, waiting for the blue portal to open.

"Is that it?" Fumika asks.

Asuna walks over to the orange oval. "I hope it doesn't stain the wall." She pushes on it which causes nothing to happen.

"Try the other trigger." Kaede suggests.

Asuna nods. "Right." She levels the gun at the wall, right at the orange oval.

"Wait!" exclaims Negi.

"What?" Asuna lowers the gun and turns to her teacher.

"There's something the pamphlet said. I didn't understand it at first but now I get what it was getting at. You can't fire one portal through another. It causes a 'Narbacular Drop' situation. The gun is engineered to prevent that." Negi explains, glad he caught her in time.

Asuna looks confused. "What's a Narbacu… You, what you said."

"It didn't explain."

"Well, okay then. I won't shoot there." Asuna aims at another spot and pulls the other trigger. A blue ball of energy, along with its accompanying math, splatter on a different wall.

The closer orange portal changes to show the group from the side.

"Wow." Kaede remarks. She stands up and walks over to the blue portal "So you can just… walk through?"

"Yeah. I guess." Negi says.

Asuna steals herself for what could be the end of her existence. She closes her eyes and steps through. When she opens her eyes… She still exists.

Kaede sees this and gives it a go. "Wow." is all that she can say as she stares into the raw power of what she has experienced.

"Neither is a dedicated entrance or exit." Negi observes. "It would be handy when it comes to moving."

"So now what do we do?" Fumika asks

"We go get our cake!" Fuka tells her sibling.

Long overdue Disclaimer: I wanted to save this for last as to not ruin anything, but if you don't know anything by now, look it up. You should play more games, really.

Here we go. I do not own anything that appears here. Negima is property of Ken Akumatsu. Portal is property of Valve Software. Don't sue me. I just spent all my money on a laptop, so I have like -15 dollars. Plus I think together they make one great cake.
