Grayson lands in the Incinerator Room. "Here we are. The Incinerator Room. Be careful not to trip over any parts of me that didn't get completely burned when you threw them down here."Glados said,putting a sting that lasted in the back of his head, as he walked along,flipping over tiles or throwing debris into the furnace. "The dual portal device should be around here somewhere. Once you find it, we can start testing. Just like old times." Glados said,finding a camera to look into the furnace. The Portal Gun was seen under a lot of debris. "There it is." Glados said in a very pleasent purr. The panels laid over it weakly lifted th rubble off the gun. Grayson approached carefully,and grabs the Portal gun. "Good. You have a dual portal device. There should be a way back to the testing area up ahead." Glados said in a semi-casual tone. As Grayson made his way through the ruined test chamber 19,Glados spoke up,"Once testing starts, I'm required by protocol to keep interaction with you to a minimum. Luckily, we haven't started testing yet. This will be our only chance to talk." She said. Grayson portals over a wall up upripped debris. Grayson found no way to get over the next wall. "Here, let me get that for you." She said,lowering a panel,with a portal conductive surface.
Grayson portals to the other side,and back up into the main testing area. "Do you know the biggest lesson I learned from what you did? I discovered I have a sort of black-box quick-save feature. In the event of a catastrophic failure, the last two minutes of my life are preserved for analysis. I was able - well, forced really - to relive you killing me. Again and again. Forever."
Those last few words had a sort of sting that again,lasted. Grayson managed to made it to an elevator and down to the testing course. 'Back to it again eh?' Grayson thought as darkness consumed him.
*skip Unknown amount of time*
Grayson got to an opening in a wall. Off in the distance he saw a portal surface. He placed a portal on that far panel,and one on the wall behind him. He walks through and falls into a room,where the portal was out of reach. He saw a door marked "Emergency GLaDOS Shutdown and Cake dispensary". Dear lord this reeked of a trap. Warily,Grayson started toward the door,and reaches out to open it,when the knob went slack,and the door fell,to reveal a wall. "I honestly, TRULY didn't think you'd fall for that." Glados said,"In fact, I devised a much more elaborate trap further ahead, for when you got through this easy one."
A soft chuckle emits.
"If I'd known you'd let yourself get captured this easily, I would have just dangled a turkey leg on a rope from the ceiling,Well it was nice catching up. Let's get to business."
The Conveyor opens into GLaDOS's main chamber
"I hope you brought something stronger than a portal gun this time,Otherwise, I'm afraid you're about to become the immediate past president of the Being Alive club. Ha ha." She said. Her face was emotionless,but she had small hints of emotion,given that her black lips had a light bend upward.
Crap Turrets were placed all around the chamber,two on each side. "Seriously, though. Goodbye."
Grayson gave a smirk. All the Crap Turrets tried firing,but to no avail.
They all explode,cracking the glass. Glados gave a priceless scowl. "Oh. You were busy back there."
Grayson remains still,staring at her. "Well. I suppose we could just sit in this room and glare at each other until somebody drops dead, but I have a better idea." Glados said,A tube came down and broke an upper pane of the small chamber. "It's your old friend, deadly neurotoxin. If I were you, I'd take a last deep breath. And hold it." She said Something clunky and loud thundered through the pipe. Glados gave a look of severe confusion,until Wheatley rolled out,"I hate you so much." Glados spat. Grayson ran out of Glados's reach.
Grayson started the core transfer
The stalemate was quickly resolved,"Wait, what if this hurts? What if it REALLY hurts? Ohhh, I didn't think of that." Wheatley said. "Oh, it will. Believe me, it will." Glados comments sisnisterly. Mechanical arms grab GLaDOS,"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME! NO! STOP! No!" Glados snarls. Walls rose,blocking off whatever process was going on,followed by "No! NO! NO! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" From Glados,the sound of her scream sent chills down his spine. The lights shut down,suspending Grayson in darkness. The sounds of metal folding and wires tearing fill the room. Glados then flew out from behind the wall,her body landing with a dull thud. The walls then lower to reveal Wheatley on a black metal body,the frame quite large and intimidating. Wheatley was playing with his newfound power,"Wowwwww! Check me out partner!" He exclaims. Grayson chuckles softly,but looks at Glados with a feeling of dread...no! She tried to kill him! He cant go soft now.
"Oh! The escape lift!" Wheatley said sheepishly. The lift announced it's arrival with a soft chime,"There we go! lift called!"He said
"Look how small you are down there! I can barely see you! Very tiny and insignificant." Wheatley said.
Grayson walks into the elevator,with a gentle smile.
"Wait. Just thought of something? How am I going to get in? You know, being bloody massive and everything." Wheatley ponders,puting his new hand under his core body,like a human would put their hand under their chin,"Wait! I know! You get into the lift, okay? Then I'll eject myself out of my new body into the lift just as you pass by me! Brilliant." He said,sounding slightly sure. "It's perfect. Except for all the glass hitting us when I smash through the lift, that's a bit of a problem." He said,dropping his shoulders and earning a look of mild concern. "Also, once I eject myself out of the core the lift might stop. Then we'd be trapped in a lift full of broken glass suspended fifty feet off the ground." Wheatley said,as he still pondered how to do this.
"You know what? We'll iron out the details as we go." He said as he paced some.
"This body is amazing, seriously!" He said,turning to Grayson. Grayson chuckles silently and points up.
"Oh! Sorry. The lift. Sorry. I keep forgetting." Wheatley chuckles sheepishly,as the lift ascends.
"This body is amazing, seriously! I can't get over how small you are! But I'm huge!" Wheatley exclaims,puffing up like a gorilla.
His laugh suddenly changed,turning from very light,to dark,and menacing. Grayson started jamming the up button,hoping it would go faster.
When Wheatley's laughter died down,he stops the lift. "Actually, why do we have to leave right now?" He pondered evilly. Grayson looked Wheatley in the eye,and saw that his friendly demeanor had all but disappeared,and only malice remained. "Do you have any idea how good this feels? I did this! Tiny little Wheatley did this!" Wheatley said as the lift stopped at the floor again. A cough emits from Glados as she weakly leans up,"You didn't do anything." She said softly. "He did all the work." She said,as she gestured to Grayson. "Oh really. That's what the two of you think, is it?" Wheatley questions as he scowls at Grayson,whom shook his his head in disagreement,in worry of getting harmed by the massive machine.
"I know you."
"Sorry, what?" Wheatley questioned as he made his way over to the downed AI. "The engineers tried everything to make me... behave. To slow me down." She continues,"Once, they even attached an Intelligence Dampening Sphere on me. It clung to my brain like a tumor, generating an endless stream of terrible ideas." She spat. "No! I'm not listening! I'm not listening!" Wheatley retaliated. Glados smiles in a weakly mischievous way. "No! No! You're LYING! You're LYING!" Wheatley said as he picks her up by the AI's hair,she could only smile more as she ignored the pain. "It was YOUR voice. Yes. You're the tumor." She said in a tone similar to realization,but it was dripping with sarcasm that would even offend the most sarcastic person on earth,"You're not just a regular moron. You were DESIGNED to be a moron."
At that moment Grayson heard the snap that Wheatley displayed,"I AM NOT A MORON!" He snarls,throwing Glados into the elevator with Grayson. "YES YOU ARE! THEY BUILT YOU TO MAKE ME AN IDIOT!" Glados retaliates,pointing a finger at him. "COULD A MORN PUNCH. YOU. INTO. THIS. PIT! HUH?! Could a Moron do that?!" Wheatley snarls.
The elevator gave a whining creak,and plummeted into darkness.
"Oh,you have no idea what youve done." Glados said.
"Since it doesn't look like we're going anywhere... Well, we are going somewhere. Alarmingly fast, actually. But since we're not busy other than that, here's a couple of facts."
"You see,he's not a normal moron,he was created by the world's most intelligent minds in the worl worling to create the world's dubest moron who ever lived. And you just put him in charge of the faucility." She said,also giving him a slow applause
"Hey, just in case this pit isn't actually bottomless, do you think maybe you could get under me and cushion my fall?"
Grayson started looking around for an emergency brake.
