"Well, well, well, Welcome, TO MY LAIR!" Boomed Wheatley.
Chell looked up. He looked even bigger than when she had first plugged him into her body.
"…I'm pretty sure, it's a problem with the light I think the lights on the blink, but just in case it isn't, I am actually gonna have to kill you. As, discussed earlier." Wheatley continued
This brought tears to Chell's eyes. She didn't want to have to hurt him, and she knew that deep down Wheatley didn't want to hurt her.
"…Leading directly onto number four, bombs, throwing at you. You know this plan is so good I'm gonna give you a sporting chance, and turn off the neurotoxin." She raised her eyebrow at him. "I'm joking of course, goodbye."
Cell looked around desperately, she spotted a pipe of conversion gel at the side of the room. She managed to make it behind the pipe, and just as she predicted Wheatley threw the bombs directly at the pipe. Causing the gel to coat the entire room.
"No! Don't! No! AHHHHHHHHHHH!" He yelled before quickly realizing what he had just done. "That…sounded real, no. That was actually an impression of you.."
Chell quickly placed a portal behind him and next to her. As the bombs flew towards her she quickly jumped out the way causing the bomb to fly directly into him. He let out a yell of pain as the bomb collided with him and went limp with his optic closed. Chell was having trouble holding back the tears, that yell of pain made her feel sorry for hurting the core. Chell quickly portal'd up to the catwalk and grabbed a sphere, which babbled non-stop about space.
10 minutes later Chell has placed the space sphere and the adventure sphere onto Wheatley
Chell was gasping for breath and covered in cuts and bruises, while Wheatley kept talking to her"
"All I wanted to do, was make everything better for me. All you had to do, was solve a couple of hundred simple tests…for a few years. And you couldn't even let me have that, could you?!" he screamed
"Gotta go to space, yeah. Gotta go to space." Interrupted the space core.
"Nobody's going to space mate!" Wheatley screamed at him, he sounded like he was about to cry, just like Chell.
Quickly she placed down a portal as a bomb flew into it and again, collided with Wheatley causing him to go limp for the final time. Chell looked around for the third core, and finally spotted it. After placing this core onto the body she would have her best friend back. Placing two portals and using the propulsion gel, she launched herself into the air to grab the third and final core.
"To make a photocopier, simply photocopy a mirror." It stated in a rather bored voice.
Chell chose to simply ignore the useless and rather stupid information being told to her by the core. She used the remaining repulsion gel to place the third and final core onto the body. Wheatley jolted upwards, twitching slightly.
"Warning, core corruption at 100%" Came the announcer's cheery voice.
"AhhhhhEHHH." Wheatley let out a pained moan.
"Manual core replacement required" said the announcer
"Oh, I see." Wheatley let out a small chuckle
"Substitute core, are you ready to start…?"
"Yes come on!" Came the potatoes impatient voice. Chell smiled a little thinking that this was once the queen of aperture.
"Corrupted core, are you ready to start?" Continued the announcer.
"What'd you think?" said Wheatley in a sarcastic voice, rolling his optic.
"Interpreting vague answer as yes…"
"No! No! NONONO!" Wheatley said in a panicked voice.
One minute later
Chell jumped through the portal, she was so close to having her friend back.
"PART FIVE! BOOBY TRAP THE STALEMATE BUTTON!" Yelled Wheatley.
Several panels lowered to reveal…nothing. Chell turned to him, a confused look in her eye.
"Oh I forgot to put the bombs down didn't I?" Wheatley said in an ashamed voice.
"Moron." Muttered the potato.
"I AM NOT A…"
Chell slammed her fist down onto the button. She heard the pained cry of Wheatley behind her as the chassis went limp, his core body facing the floor.
"Stalemate resolved." Came the announcer's cheery voice.
To be continued, or not, depends on what you think
