Portal is freaking awesome. Just wanted to get that out there. I've loved the franchise for years and now i finally feel confident enough to write this story as I think I know the characters well enough. Keep in mind they may be OOC sometimes because they're VERY complex so,I'll try my hardest.
Anyway,I've had this idea for almost half a year now and I hope ya'll like it as much as i do! My other stories are in the works by the way. Don't worry. :3

""Speaking"
"Thoughts"
A slight rustle. That's all she could comprehend at that very moment. Everything else was just lost to her. Glados could tell she was unconscious and that her slight twitch a moment ago caused something to emit a sound,but something just felt...wrong to her. She knew what she was supposed to feel like. She was supposed to feel her robotic body hanging or dangling maybe from the ceiling of her "Lair" as she called it in her facility,but to her it now felt like she was laying on the ground with several more limbs than she was used to. She made an attempt to lift her head and open her optic,but both ended in failure.
"Okay...I can't move...again...God,i swear if I'm a potato again...wait...no i can't be. I can feel... limbs?"
She twitched again,this time flexing what seemed to be toes.
"Okay,i appear to have sprouted legs...somehow. So,not a potato,but dare I even ask what I've been shoved into this time?"
Suddenly,she felt a largely uncomfortable pressure in her chest area and let out a torrent of coughs,then taking a breath. Realizing what she had just done,her sight returned to her and she shot up and fell onto her back.
"What the hell!? Did i just cough!? And breathe!? Oh,god I've been turned into a disgusting human like that monster haven't I?"
She struggled to get off her back while on the inside she was continuously slapping herself for the fact that she looked completely undignified at the moment,but to add to her list of discoveries,not only did she realize she now had double the vision she'd had before,but she also made note of two more limbs she saw while flailing. She stopped and looked at them,narrowing her gaze.
"Wait...these aren't arms...at least,i don't think they are. That lunatic's arms looked nothing like this. Actually,they almost...look...like..."
It was at that moment that Glados wished a human was what she had been turned into,because she had been turned into something she feared and loathed even more than that dreadful primate species. She had been turned into a bird. With all she had realized,she could no longer hold in her hatred and anger at her situation. She quickly stood,raised her head,and screamed as loud as she could in frustration. A few other creatures scurried from the trees around her at the dreadful noise,unknown to her a pair of black furry ears perked up at her cry,and the owner of them wasn't even fazed.
Glados now sat in front of a small lake,not far from where she had woken up and screamed. For what felt like forever,she glared at the monstrosity that was her reflection. She no longer resembled the Queen of Science that she was,but now she was a lowly,oddly looking bird.
Strangely,it was no species of bird she'd ever had knowledge of. That was for sure.
She was still made out of silver metal,which she felt she could semi-appreciate at least,nothing else remained the same. Her head was oval-shaped with a sharp beak and what resembled a sharpened shark's fin on top. Around her neck were three dark grey pieces and the same color covered her new legs,which had two sharp claws in the front and one in the back each. She had a razor-sharp tail with a C-shape cut into it,but the one thing she kept glaring at the most were her wings. They were as sharp as her claws and were split into four large feathers,the first one on each being silver,like the rest of her,the other three were instead red. Her eyes now even had a black pupil with the familiar color of her optic,yellow,covering the outer areas.
To anyone looking at her from a distance,she was a vicious metal bird,but while she agreed to herself that she could look worse,she still hated with all she had that she was now a vision of the biggest bane of her eternal existence. She grit her blade-like fangs and slashed at the water with her hated feathered appendages.
"I'm a god damn bird! Of all the things!" she shouted,aloud. She didn't care if anyone heard. At this point she'd just flat out murder anything she came across,so when she heard what she registered as the snap of a twig,she nearly grinned maliciously.
The grin faded however when what made the sound came out of hiding,well more like was thrown out of hiding. Glados nearly fell back when a human came flying from a nearby bush and hit the ground with a harsh thud onto the grass. Had she not jumped away,she might've ended up underneath her.
"What the-" Her thoughts were interrupted when another human came barging through,crushing the small bush. She had a WTF look on her face as this human,male obviously,was making bizarre signs with his hands and arms,never mind the weird outfit he was wearing.
He walked over to the grounded human,who upon inspection was female,seemingly an older teen,and continued making the hand signs.
"Yo,girly! What do yo think yo doing messin' with our schemes!?" he asked. Glados took a small step back to analyze the scene before her.
The girl glared at him. "Oh,gee. I don't know,maybe because you were imprisoning Pokemon for your own dumb ass gain!?"
"Pokemon?" Glados was troubled by the term as she had no knowledge of such a word and if there was one thing she hated most besides Birds and Humans,it was realizing there was something she didn't know.
The male teen let out a laugh,stopping the hand signs momentarily. "Well,yeah that's our job! Minus the dumb ass part."
The girl scoffed. "More like,minus the job part."
The boy suddenly growled and grabbed her by the neck,lifting her up slightly as she struggled. "You'd be wise to shut it! No one messes with Team Skull and walks away with a bone intact!"
Glados' eyes widened. "What the hell am I even looking at right now?" She felt slightly disturbed,but rolled her eyes at it and turned to leave. "Let the humans kill each other. No steel off my back."
She took a few shaky steps,and was about to vanish into the treeline when something large and bulky slammed into her back,sending an agonizing pain throughout her new body. She screeched at the unexpected assault and fell back onto the ground,once again on her face.
"Hello ground. Nice to see you again." she thought sarcastically as she fought to stand and face her attacker. It was a large black rat with large cheeks. If she wasn't in agony,she would've thought about how fat and ugly it looked,but for once the thought didn't even cross her mind.
Behind it was the boy with the stupid outfit and the girl from before,now on the ground,un-moving. "Wicked job Raticate!" he said. "I almost thought it would get away! Thank Arceus for your amazing speed!"
Glados blinked as she tried to stop wobbling. "Okay,what did he just say? Did he just call that thing a...Raticate? What planet am I even on right now,cause it sure as hell isn't planet Earth."
She didn't hear when the boy shouted an order at the Rat,but she saw it charging toward her again. This time she wasn't gonna let it get anywhere close. She herself charged forward with a scream of fury and rammed the sharp blade on her head into the Raticate's chest,causing it to scream out and hit the ground.
"Ha! That's what you get you fat ugly thing!" she taunted,now realizing she could make jabs at it's chubby appearance.
"Raticate,return!" the boy shouted suddenly. Glados watched as the rat was turned into a stream of red light and pulled into a small red and white ball that he held.
He quickly put it away and pulled out another,glaring with intense hatred at Glados. She merely gave him a disinterested look as she had gotten more than enough glares like that from her test subject. What he said next caused small amounts of concern to leak out into her face however.
"You're gonna get it now,you Arceus-dammned Skarmory!" He then threw the small capsule at her. Despite having zero clue what he was doing,she had more than enough insight to know that whatever that ball was,it was something she needed to avoid at all costs. She dodged it by ducking her head,but barely had enough time to dodge the second one that had been thrown her way. The jumped to avoid the third and threw herself back onto the grass to avoid the fourth. He then raised his hand to throw the fifth while she was down,but just before the ball left this hand,it became his turn to be rammed by something.
Glados watched with wide-eyes as another creature knocked the boy over,also knocking the capsule to the ground. The creature actually seemed recognizable to her as it resembled a personality core. It was a floating metal ball with two screws on the front of it below it's eye which was in the middle,a large screw on top of it's head,and two magnets on both sides of it's body.
It had also hit the ground with a thump and was now rolling slightly as it seemed to moan to pain.
"Ugh,that could've gone better. At least I'm away from those smelly humans..."
Glados' wings flew open in shock. That voice was a sound she'd never wanted to hear again,especially now with all the crap she'd been trying to wrap her head around. She almost wondered if she was hearing things,but the accent was unmistakable.
"It's...YOU!"
