"What! How the Hell did you survive you moron!" GLaDOS yelled in confusion. "I AM NOT A MORON!" Wheatley shouted at the top of his metaphorical lungs, "And as to answer that question, next time you try to incinerate me, make sure the furnace is working," Wheatley explained victoriously. "Now come on we need to get out of here!" he shouted urgently.
"On it!" Zim replied as his spider legs sprang from his PAK and he destroyed the glass wall of the case and jumped into the blue funnel with Wheatley. Thankfully the funnel held the two up as they quickly hovered through a hole in the wall before GLaDOS could deactivate it or atleast close the hole.
"Damn! Well then, looks like I'll have to terminate those idiots. Too bad as well, I was looking forward to trying out my new trial on a human and alien body! Oh, and now that the moron is gone I knew that he survived and sabotaged my methods of killing you two. Why do you think I was going to kill you before I even got to try out my new trial on you? And as for the trial I think you'll find it quite interesting, he he he," GLaDOS chuckled darkly.
Zim and Wheatley rushed through the halls of Aperture as Wheatley pleaded for Zim to go back for Dib, "Come on Zim! We can't just leave him to die at the hands of that, she-devil!" he urged as Zim turned a corner into an office and went through another door on the other side of the room. "Wheatley, there is no way in HELL that I'm going back to rescue the Dib human! Besides, if we go back now GLaDOS is no doubt going to kill the both of us and then Dib will have to save himself or die trying! Do you want that on your conscious of course you don't!" Zim added before Weatley could answer his question. Wheatley sighed and said that he couldn't really argue with that as the two continued running about the halls of the facility.
Suddenly large wall panels ahead of Zim and Wheatley began falling away to reveal spiked panels that began coming down hard on the catwalk in their direction! "OH S**T!" Zim screamed with Wheatley giving him a dirty look for swearing that badly. Zim didn't notice, though, as he was too busy running in the opposite direction desperately trying to avoid getting crushed as more panels around them began falling to reveal more spikes that came down and left the catwalk in ruins.
The spikes were beginning to catch up to them and Zim couldn't go any faster, even with his spider legs carrying them at maximum speed and him shooting portals to get ahead of them, "We're going to die!" Wheatley screamed as he clenched his eye shut, preparing for the worst.
Just then Zim looked past one of the spike panels and his eyes suddenly widened as he noticed a portal surface! "Wheatley! No we're not!" he shouted at him as he shot a portal at the surface behind the panel and one next to him right as the spiked panels caught up to them and then he jumped!
"A-are we dead yet?" Wheatley asked in a quivering voice. "No we're not my friend! No we're not." Zim assured, relieved as he rested on the floor in some sort of hall outside of the actual areas people were supposed to be in. It was eerily dilapidated and appeared to be in a horrible state of disrepair. "Ugh! Where are we? This place is so, awful!" Zim complained as he began walking around the hallway slowly so he could survey his surroundings.
"I... I honestly have no idea where we are. This area is so foreign to me. It's like that area in video games beyond the coding," he said, the mention of video games much to Zim's confusion.
Author's Note: Alright! That hopefully made up for the past two chapters being made up of a filler chapter and a really short chapter! And like I said, there's gonna be much more interesting stuff from here! So let's keep reading and eventually finish this bastard!
