Raised by GLaDOS
Ok maybe leaping out of the window was not the most genius idea I'd ever had, add in a troll and huge club and I may say it was the worst. Making me admit that would be a lot harder, calculating I fired an orange portal onto the ground and another a few feet away, knowing what to expect I soared through it and flew back to my original height. At least the laws of physics were on my side, the odds of the situation weren't
"You might need this," Rick announced floating over and slipping a vial of repulsion gel into my pocket, GLaDOS obviously sent more just in case and I would thank her later, when I wasn't spiralling towards certain death. Ok for future reference the turret guns need to be ordered and quickly, trolls are among the many things they would stop, however there was only one thing I could say before descending back into the ground and out the other portal end.
"Thanks," I replied quickly moving the portal, the troll's movements were erratic; it was trying to get Katie who was running in all different directions trying to distract it, obviously it was working but she couldn't keep going forever. Quickly I fired a portal a few feet away from where she was about to be, she hadn't seen me just yet because I was currently a few metres higher than her, however she had to run the moment I was near.
"Come on," I grunted through gritted teeth, then I saw something, Katie would be in front of a building in a moment so if I sent a portal at the top and jumped down I could catch her and fire another portal far away. It would require perfect timing and perfect choice in building seeing as I was getting closer to Katie who was using her chaser skills to dodge each and every swing the troll made. She dodged well but it didn't help with phase one of the my master rescue plan, the troll was just swinging the club and failing; if it was smaller it would be a fat child with no aim, now add a few pounds to that and you got the troll. I really need to think of better analogies or ones that don't... now!
"Katie," I yelled and the girl turned her head upwards; quick as a flash towards me, she looked confused and was still confused as I soared down from the earth, the ground beneath her feet was a portal that she fell through and using my momentum I soared down grabbed her and took her up into the air. Phase one done,
"What the hell!" she screamed; confused and scared at the same time,
"Don't worry everything's fine," I assured her as we slowly began to descend, the wind was looking down and we would come out the other side somewhere safe.
"But isn't the troll on the other side?" she asked looking down and it turns out she was right, the troll was on the other side and me grabbing her meant the hand with my portal gun in it was around her waist and not very mobile. So Phase two; portal away was a failure.
"Ok everything might not be fine," I conceded as we were propelled into the Troll's face which had been looking down into the portal with confusion, it roared and swung wildly which in turn caused me to lose my grip inside the portal gun meaning when the troll hit it, it went a few hundred yards to the east.
"Ok let's go with your plan," I told Katie grabbing her wrist
"What's was that one?" she asked looking bewildered as the troll recovered from its stunned state
"Run the hell away," was my answer pulling her away from the troll's club which pummelled into the dirt a few inches away from where she had been standing,
"I'm good with that," she agreed.
Meanwhile- Curiosity Core
"What's going on?" I asked curiously, there was Harry who I knew now running away from that troll which was swinging a club for some reason,
"Oh nothing much, Just Harry being chased by a troll and trying to find a way to escape it," Rick the adventure sphere pointed out; what was an adventure? Was it fun? I wondered all of this as my optic narrowed in,
"What's that?" I asked sending him the coordinates, he wanted to set up a link he said because he wanted to be inside me which sounded nice, I think. What does inside mean?
"That's Harry Portal device," Rick nodded then his computer finally kicked into action, I knew what a computer was but I wonder what it looks like? Maybe I could find out but then again we needed to help Harry for some reason
"Ok we need to help him; he's without his portal gun which means eventually that troll which turn him into mush (What's mush?) so we need to get the portal gun and get the troll and the girl," Rick decided.
"How?" I asked
"No idea," he sighed; obviously he was not the intelligent core in the corrupt core database, ok so it was up to me, I needed to get a portal gun, find out how it works then use it to save Harry. Ok I can do this? Can I? I'm curious to find out so let's do it.
Harry
It took a few minutes before I had an idea, we were outside which meant there were brooms around but I didn't know the summoning charm
"Katie?" I called through the ferocious roar of the troll which was gaining pretty quickly, too quickly if you ask me.
"What?" she asked turning to me,
"Can you cast a summoning charm?" I asked and she gave a nod I assumed to be a yes, if it was a no then we were in serious trouble as it was time to initiate backup rescue plan.
"Summon those brooms?" I pointed to one of the cupboards I knew had brooms in them, hopefully they were the flying ones. Before she could react I grabbed my vial of repulsion gel and threw it on the floor, it clung to the floor leaving a large stain which I pulled Katie towards; the moment our feet touched it we shot up into the air.
"Accio!" she declared and for a moment it looked like we would hurtle into a building when suddenly a single broom came to her aid, she managed to mount it midair and grab my hand which meant I was being dragged through the air as the troll chased us. She was holding onto me for dear life and I was suddenly thankful for making friends with a Quidditch player, eventually I managed to climb onto the broom and I grabbed Katie tight. Partly because of the height, partly because I kind of wanted to
"Ok that's that done," I sighed hoping the plan had worked,
"Harry what does that gel do?" Katie asked turning around suddenly sounding worried
"It propels you into the air depending on your weight ," I answered explaining it simply and easily, then I clocked why she was worried, the Troll had used the gel and was now hurtling towards us at a hundred miles an hour. This is why I should have brought my long fall boots, at least then I would have lived when falling off this thing.
A few minutes before- Space
"Space?" The curious core asked, I was busy taping books together to make a cockpit to built my spaceship, the first one had only made a bang like a firework and sent that big space monster running from the dungeon.
"Hi Space friend?" I greeted nodding,
"Can you help me?" she asked and I thought about it, if it was Space related I could help her and everything was Space related,
"Ok," I answered following her outside to find out what he space problem was, huh that big guy was trying to fly to space, he was in the air but he would come down soon, then again if the gel made heavy things fly then he was going to Space because must have been at least 900...(error too many zeros) pounds.
"Can you use this?" Curiosity asked as the big space guy started his flight, he was chasing Harry it seemed who was flying on a space broom? Was he going to Space without me?
"The Portal gun?" I asked thinking, now it could make a portal on certain things but not in space, except the moon which wasn't out yet. Then again I didn't have fingers
"No," I answered, then I saw one of those nice twin Space people who had heard the big Space Guy
"They can," I realised, I know they have fingers.
Harry
You know when you see something impossible, like Fred and George trying to figure out a Portal Gun and the Space Core directing them, yes that kind of impossible. Speaking of impossible falling from this height, the Troll was heavy so it had been propelled into the air much faster and it was gaining. We were going to fall sooner or later,
"If you have any other plan now would be the time," I warned Katie, we had reached the point where if we tried to go down the Troll would grab us, and pulling up would slow us down so we would be dead long before we got away, so the only way to go was up which coincidently was the worst thing we could do.
Curiosity
When you put one hole on other hole does it go on forever? I hope so because I just threw Space into one of those
"These things are cool," the first twin marvelled inspecting the portal deceive with awe,
"Imagine what we could do with these," the other nodded, what could they do with them? They could cheat in the broom game, get to class quickly, make a new waste disposal, trap the guy with the turban in an endless loop and they could also save Harry from the troll.
"Over there!" I told them realising the troll was in terminal velocity range, wow what was that? It sounded cool, what was cool? Then with one click of a button Space was sent hurtling out of the other side of the portal towards the troll.
Katie
What the hell was this stuff? The Troll was still accelerating; shouldn't it have fallen by now or something, how much did it way if one puddle of that gel was enough to send it into the air. How were we going to get out of this one? I like to think of myself as open minded but I doubt someone is going to fly in an save us, also if I did get out of this one the school needs to get better brooms because this thing moves slow and the only way I can go is up, so the Troll's going to either fall or catch us; and we'd freeze so look how productive today was turning out. Maybe it's the pure adrenaline talking.
"SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!" came a cry and when I looked back the Troll was gone, something travelling even faster must have carried it away; Maybe I'm not open minded enough.
Trelawney's office- Trelawney
"Professor are you going to the feast," one of the students asked me, I had kept him and a couple of others behind to clear up the mess they had made when suddenly I got a strange premonition,
"In a moment, I have a strange feeling we are about to receive an unexpected guest," I muttered feeling something approach, I could hear something the spirit world wanted me to hear something.
"Space," I yelled to the room, why did the spirit world want me to say that. Then the window exploded open and the body of a huge mountain troll fell into the room with a small orange thing resting on its chest.
"Space," it confirmed as my classroom fell to bits.
