Rex ran down the hallway holding his portal gun evenly over his arms. He skidded as a smasher went over his head. Over the time they had been here he became much better. He didn't use his powers and he was still alive. He and Van Kleiss got along much better now, it was mostly because Chell had had enough of their fighting that she didn't allow it. The worst part of all this was now Rex couldn't talk much. He mostly just didn't talk unless he had too.

He jumped through the two smashers and stood up in front of Van Kleiss and Chell. Different scanned what was next. Rex and Van Kleiss shared a look and nodded. Van Kleiss took off running, ran up the wall, grabbed the ledge and nodded. Chell nodded back, ran over, ran up the wall, and grabbed his hand. She nodded to Rex.

Rex grabbed Different, ran over and grabbed Chell's hand. Rex looked up at Van Kleiss. He nodded. He pulled himself up, then Chell, and then Chell pulled Rex and Different up.

Rex stood up and looked around him. His eyes grew wide. He walked forward and entered the room. Wheatley turned around to face him and the AI glared. Chell turned around and opened her mouth to say his name, but as always nothing came out.

Rex fell through the ground.

"REX!" Van Kleiss yelled running over and grabbed his wrist. Rex latched around his and looked down. Van Kleiss pulled him up. The door between them and Wheatley shut. "You ok?" Rex nodded and stood. Van Kleiss stood up as well.

"That was interesting," GlaDOS said optimisticly.

"Rex's near death experience? You're insane!" Van Kleiss said harshly.

"I think I'm the soundest mind here," she snapped back.

"Yeah right," Van Kleiss snapped back.

"When I get back in my body you are going to die!"

"Whatever," Van Kleiss muttered walking away. Rex and Chell shared a look. Rex shrugged and followed Van Kleiss, Chell followed suit. As they continued to wall Rex stopped and looked to his left. He thought he heard something, or someone. He walked over, not bothering to tell the others about it. He pushed as hard as he could on the door in his way to let himself through. He squeezed though and gasped. The Creature! Be back up but then cocked his head, puzzled. It was trapped.

It looked up at Rex and whined. Rex sighed and walked over. He lifted up the piece of metal over the Creature. The Creature barked and wagged its tail. Rex now saw that it was a white dog-like creature with huge teeth and long claws. Rex stood up and walked away. The thing followed him.

"There you are!" Van Kleiss said. "Dont do that!" Rex shrugged. He felt something rub up against his legs. He looked down to see the Creature. Van Kleiss raised an eyebrow. Rex shook his head irritatedly and followed Chell. The Creature barked and follwed Rex. Van Kleiss chuckled lightly

Rex stood a few feet behind the others and blocked Van Kleiss and Glados's argument as much as he could but he could still hear their harsh voices and every time Van Kleiss said something against AIs Glados would scream something about AIs vs. a freak of nature like him. Rex yawned and sat down. The creature walked over and tilted its head.

"Hello," different said. The creature barked. Rex groaned and walked off. The creature watched him for a long time before getting up and following him. Rex stopped and tilted his head. Was that someone walking over there? They stopped and looked over at Rex. Rex didn't move. The Creature tilted its head.

The person slowly walked over but Rex still didn't move. He blinked once slightly as they continued. They stopped a few feet away from them. They looked at Rex's portal gun. The creature whined and ran away but Rex held his ground. The person started walking again and Rex still held still. They were only about two feet away and Rex could tell it was a girl about his age or so. She tilted her head.

"Who are you?" she asked. Rex pointed to his throat and shrugged. She nodded. "Got it." Rex turned around and walked away. The girl followed right behind him. "My name's Nafalis by the way." Rex nodded and walked over to the others.

"That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard!" Van Kleiss shouted.

"How is that dumb?" Van Kleiss smacked himself."Dont even get me started!" Glados growled. Rex snapped his fingers and they looked over at him. He pointed to Nafalis.

"Hi," she said. Chell blinked.

"Oh great, you. Like Chell wasn't bad enough." Chell glared. "What? I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Sheesh." There was a loud noise and everything shook. Rex looked around in confusion.

"Uh-oh," Nafalis muttered. Rex looked around franticly as things fell down, walls cracked, railings broke in half, screens shattered, and there was a loud noise. Van Kleiss looked up.A peice of the ceiling cracked.

"Move!" he yelled as they all moved out of the way. Van Kleiss looked over his shoulder as Rex fell to the ground. He stopped and turned around. He reached out his hand. This time Rex took it and they ran after the others. Chell turned around as the ceiling fell, but she could not find Rex and Van Kleiss...

Chell froze in place as the dust cloud that surrounded them slowly disappeared into the air. But even when it was almost fully gone she could see nothing. She ran out and looked all around. But much to her dismay, she could not find them. She sat down and set her portal gun on the ground with a sigh. The creature sat next to her and whine. She patted his head.

"I say good riddance!" Glados shouted. Chell glared and hit her potato. "Ow," she muttered. Chell sighed and sat there, She didn't know what to do. She was only trying to get out for them, now what? She didn't know how to find them and she wasn't even sure they were alive! She sighed and stood up. She picked up her portal gun and walked over the fallen ceiling. The only thing she could do was try to get out and hope. That was all.

Rex groaned a little. He lay on his stomach. He moaned. His legs stung, his back hurt, he could barely breath with all the dust, and he swore he fell on something. He shifted a little, trying to move. He slowly opened his eyes and they widened. Flames lay right before him, so close he swore they were burning his noise. He tried to get away but found that he was being crushed by something. He tried to push himself up but was unsuccessful. He continued to push but it didn't help as the flames came closer to him with every passing second.

Van Kleiss ran over and quickly helped Rex lift the thing off of him. Rex quickly slid himself out from under it and moved away from the flame.

"Thanks," Rex said. Van Kleiss nodded. Van Kleiss ran off and Rex followed quickly at his heels. "What happened back there?"

"First off, glad to see your throats feeling better," Van Kleiss joked. "Second, I'm not sure." Rex sighed. That figured. Things just kept getting worse, and worse, and worse! And there was nothing he could do! He groaned. There was a creaking noise and both stopped. There was dead silence.

Something detached from the wall and fell off heading right for Van Kleiss. Rex grabbed him and pulled him out of he way. They fell to the ground and looked at the huge piece of metal that almost crushed Van Kleiss. They stood up and continued on their way, careful not to get themselves killed.

"Do you think we're ever gonna get out of here?" Rex asked. Van Kleiss shrugged. Rex sighed again. Van Kleiss stopped and turned to him. Van Kleiss wanted to get out of there as well, but he knew they weren't going anywhere unless they went together.

"We're going to find Chell," he said. Rex raised an eyebrow. Van Kleiss sounded determined.

"Is that so?" Rex said. Van Kleiss nodded with a grin.

"All for one and one for all," he said. Rex's expression fell. Van Kleiss raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"That's only for the three muskateers."

"so?"

"The three muskateers were friends," he said with a sigh. Van Kleiss found it in him to smile at the boy. He clasped his hand on Rex's shoulder.

"We're enemies up there," he said nodding upward. "Not here, not now. Here and now we're friends. Got it?" Rex looked at him. Did Van Kleiss just call him his friend? Rex smiled back."So we are, now, let's go get our friend," Rex said. Van Kleiss nodded.

"Now that's the spirit," he said and they jogged off to go found Chell.

Chell ran down the hall with Nafalis right at her heels. At first Chell wasn't to sure about letting her tag along because she didn't seem like she'd be very helpful. But he had allowed it and the girl proved to be most useful. The thing that got on Chell's nerves the most was her British accent, everytime she opened her mouth Chell wanted to slap her across the face, but she resisted the urge because slapping her wouldn't help her cause. But of course Glados had no problem in telling her that it annoyed her greatly. But Nafalis would just chuckle kindly and continue with what she was saying.

Nafalis put a hand on Chell's shoulder. Chell looked back at her. Nafalis made her way silently in front of Chell and looked around the corner. She quickly pulled it back and looked over at her teammate.

"There's a camera," she told her. Chell nodded. Nafalis took something out of her pocket. It was long with a green thing at the top, the handle was gold and silver, and she twirled it in her hand. Nafalis put it around the corner and pressed a button. The thing made an odd noise and then there was a small explosion. Nafalis looked around the corner with a grin as she saw the camera in pieces. "And that's how we get it done where I come from." She laughed a little and around the corner. Chell followed her and tapped her shoulder. Nafalis turned around.

"How did you do that?" Glados shouted. Nafalis laughed and twirled the thing in her hand.

"It's called a sonic screwdriver," she said. She glared at Glados a little. "And no I will not tell you how it works." Glados grumbled as Nafalis continued on her way. Chell smiled a little and followed her. Nafalis put the screwdriver in her pocket and jogged towards another hallway, Chell quickly matched her pace.

"Tell me again why we're following the crazy one?" Glados asked.

"We're both crazy," Nafalis said with a grin. "The only difference is I can talk so you can tell better." Glados growled and Nafalis laughed as she went just a little bit faster
