Through the portal, past the turrets, over the rocket turret, and to the button to finish the test. This had been what Porta and Grace's testing was like for the past several hours, and they were sick of it.

"Seriously GLaDOS, could you come up with a chamber without all these common occurrences, I mean… even I could come up with a better chamber." Porta said angrily as she sat down in one of the chamber. Her answer was a shock from the choker around her neck.

"If you're so sure that you could come up with something better then why don't you?" GLaDOS asked angrily, something had been bothering her for a while now and this wasn't helping.

"A floor of Dark Crystals (Requiring flight) with several Mana Crystals along the walls to keep elemental power at full. Multiple rooms, each ending in different locks, and a door on the roof." Porta left the concept a little vague for the moment.

"Continue."

Porta went on to explain the different rooms, one could have a combination of turrets and rocket turrets, another could involve moving laser fields, another could involve a laser moving in patterns that forced them to time it, another could involve bombs, and another could require use of the five main gels. GLaDOS wasn't too happy to have such a devastatingly deadly chamber designed by a test subject, though she had to give Porta credit for her thought. GLaDOS used some aspects of Porta's design to create her next chamber.

Central AI Chamber

"What is wrong with me today?" GLaDOS asked herself, still having trouble thinking.

Low level hacking, it's not much, just implanting small ideas that have nothing to do with testing but are still likely to be important. Caroline said without care.

"What! Why didn't you mention this before?"

Because it's Doug doing the hacking. Caroline made it sound natural, then again, it probably was.

"Of course, that explains it." it really did as, being connected as she was to Caroline, GLaDOS knew that Caroline loved Doug. GLaDOS turned her attention to the most recently found draconic information.

Report on Draconic Twins by Cave Johnson.

Caroline's going to kill me for keeping her out of this, that girl seems fascinated with anything derived from mythology. Anyway, today we found twin dragons, and they're more confusing than the normal dragons. Twins are apparently always exactly the same except their tail blades, unless they're different genders (which seems to be more common then 'same gender' twins). Apparently, twins have a lot of odd abilities that are based off passive use of Magi rays (the part of the light spectrum that dragons use for their elements). Draconic twins appear to be connected in a deeper sense then human twins. Draconic Twins are able to feel each other's pain, actually it would seem that their hearts beat in unison and stop at the same time (no matter what). They can sense the others presence when within a certain radius (which has yet to be identified). They seem to have a natural telepathic link that can cross any distance. When they have an emotional spike, a chain and set of chokers appears on them in the primary color of their element (This seems to be a sort of calming mechanism as it reminds them of each other). When their 'Twin Chain' appears they seem to sync (finishing the other sentence without even the slightest pause and some other things like synced movement, thought, or elemental use). Twins are always protective of each other (even when one tries to kill the other), they also seem to naturally curl into each when sleeping.

Side Note: attempted to inject humans with draconic DNA, found it to kill the human instantly.

He's right, I do want to kill him, but only partly from keeping this a secret. Caroline said, appearing on a monitor as a teenage girl with the same eyes as GLaDOS herself (Practically the only thing different from Chell's appearance).

"And the other part is for putting you into me isn't it?" GLaDOS asked angrily, she hated when Caroline took over one of her screens.

Actually, the other part is for being too cowardly to upload me himself. You know though, we're a lot like draconic twins when you think about it. We look the same, except for the light blue lines that run along us when I'm in control. We have a similar telepathic connection. We're in sync most of the time. We feel the pain of the other.

"Only because we're in the same body."

The next few minutes were mostly spent arguing, ironically, like a pair of siblings. They especially argued when they spoke in unison.

Chamber N5 of track D15

Spyro and Cynder looked at each other with smiles, they had missed Porta and Grace several times, but wouldn't miss them this time. Getting to the testing track had been easy, but keeping up with those two hadn't in the slightest. Cynder and Spyro, more than once, had found themselves entering a nesting chamber right as the other two left, luckily, the two had gotten distracted and so Spyro and Cynder had been able to pass them.

"This was harder than I thought." Cynder said as she glanced through a small hole in the wall that lead to a countdown timer (this timer was for them to know how long they had.) the timer read 1:23:20:15 (1 day: 23 hours: 20 minutes: 15 seconds) there were milliseconds on the list as well, but those were moving too fast to examine.

"We took longer than expected, at this rate, we'll barely have time to introduce ourselves and learn enough about them to work properly as a team before Malefor takes hold of the facility and we have to kill him… again." Spyro really didn't like that Malefor was even still alive, much less that he was likely planning to destroy the world.

An hour and a half later, Porta and Grace entered the chamber to find the two. Cynder just smiled.

"Nice to meet you two I'm Cynder and that's Spyro. We need your help." was all she really said.

1 day:22 hours:50 minutes:20 seconds

A/N: Sadly, I failed to keep to my usual schedule (do to something as simple as distraction no less!). Hope you enjoy the semi-late upload. Yes I'm going to ATTEMPT to keep track of how long until Malefor and his two allies are free of cryo, after that it shouldn't take long for the final battle to occur (Though I admit that this'll be one of my shorter stories, well, most likely at least.)
