Hey there every pony, and welcome back! And before you click away, no. This chapter is not based off of Cupcakes. It does include a little evil Pinkie insanity, but still not in a Creepypasta way. Still, I guess the title's a little off-putting when you think too much into it huh?...
Oh well, not changing it now! Anyway, if you know what capitalized letters in a name like the title means, than you must already know about all the famous testing facility this story's going to next! Yep! You heard right every pony! I present to you a Portal based chapter! Part one of two!
But before I begin, I want to give an honorable mention to the small series on YouTube called 'My Little Portal'! It's actually pretty good! Discord is GLaDOS, Twilight is Chell (Also, she's Chell in this chapter, but that's besides the point), Fluttershy's the Companion Cube, and the CMC are those adorable turrets that love to shoot your face off! So if you haven't yet, I urge you to try and watch it!
Well, I think I've said enough set up. So let's go ahead and get right to the story! Oh and also, it might seem stupid but it's my law as a writer to say this ahead of time.
*SPOILER ALERT* If you haven't played Portal 2 before and don't want the ending spoiled (If for some reason you don't know the ending) than please skip this chapter if you wish not to be spoiled of endings.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Okay, so now that silly little thing's done, let's start the chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own MLP or Portal. Nor do I own the idea for this chapter. All I own is this story, I guess, and Blitz as a character.
Let's start the chap-wait... Three sentences in the disclaimer?! HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED!
Twilight's POV
"Uh...Are you sure it's safe to go in there? I mean...It says emergency..." Fluttershy said as we all stood in the small rectangular room. All four of us. Me, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie. After getting separated from Pinkie the Corrupt Core in the tubes that led to GLaDASH's lair, the four of us had made our why to this room. Where all the walls were solid and there was only the door in front of us. Which had 'GLaDASH Emergency Shut Down and Cake Dispensary. KEEP UNLOCKED' written on the front.
"Uh Fluttershy," Applejack started, approaching the door. "In case ya hadn't noticed. This IS an emergency. GLaDASH wants us outta commission fer good!" She then turned towards the door and reached for the handle. Only for the door to fall flat to the ground to reveal it was a piece of wood.
"Wow...I really didn't think you were all that dumb..." GLaDASH said from a speaker.
"AH! The tacky walls are closing in on us!" Rarity stated in a scream of fear, making us turn towards the wall to see that it was actually made out of panels. Of which GLaDASH controlled.
"Fluttershy quick! Fly away!" I told her, passing the Appleture approved Portal Gun to her so she could use it. She caught it and started flying out of the room, there not being a roof anywhere near the top. Sadly, the top panels were acted as crushers as they came real close to crushing Fluttershy and our only means of defending ourselves.
"You four must really think I'm an idiot, don't you?" She asked. That's when the panels right in front of Fluttershy started to activate with static electricity. Shocking her at just the right amount to make the fur on her coat and her mane, tail, and even feathers cling to her. Getting fastened to her body. This made Fluttershy unable to fly and fall straight to the ground. Luckily, she had on fall boots like the rest of us on our hind hooves. So she landed okay.
After all the walls closed in on us enough, the floor started to open up. And no matter where we went, we couldn't avoid going down into one of those glass cells with a toilet in it. And after it was brought forwards, we saw her.
GLaDASH was a mostly all chords except for her single light red color that acted as her eye. Not to mention what we assumed was her face, which was all blue.
"Well I sure hope that you brought something better than that useless portal gun. Because that's pretty much useless around here." She said with her emotionless, yet cocky, robotic voice. "But look on the bright side. At least you'll all join the No Longer Alive Club. Ha ha." She said, turning towards us.
We all just glared at her, angry that she was laughing at such a despicable thing as killing. "Seriously though, you're all doomed." She told us as she lowered some foal turrets down from up above. Not noticing that all of the turrets were defective.
"Alright! Firing my level twenty power!" A brown turret, with the top of it melted to resemble a little propeller hat, tried firing at us. Only to catch fire the second it did.
"Hey! my wings are stuck to the sides of the box!" A scratchy voice sounded out from inside a turret box with the picture of an orange turret on the front.
"My time ta shine!" A turret with a bow on it and an accent a lot like Applejack's tried to fire, only for it to have no bullets whatsoever.
"Maybe I'll get my approval mark in elimination!" The final one said, its voice chip cracking as it spoke. Except the bullets got jammed. Making it catch fire to. "This isn't good..."
Suddenly, it exploded outside our cell, the blast hitting the one with a bow with it. Seconds later, the propeller hat one exploded too. Setting fire to the boxed turret and having it explode too. Cracking the glass walls to our cell.
"Oh. You've been busy back there, haven't you?" GLaDASH asked, sounding rhetorical and a bit angered. "Well, I guess I could just watch from overhead as you all shrivel up and die of dehydration, but I got a better idea. Maybe you should catch up with your good friend, deadly neurotoxin." At that moment, a tub started coming into the room and into our cell. "Now might be a good time to see which one of you four can hold your breath the longest."
"Oaf! Ow! Woah! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" At that moment, instead of deadly toxic air coming through the tube, it was Pinkie. Bouncing around and acting as if she was on a slide most of the way down.
Once she came out of the tube, she hit one of the glass walls. Shattering it and freeing us. "Pinkie!" We all yelled out in joy. Gathering around and hugging the lucky little core.
"I hate you all so much..." GLaDASH said, taking the tube out of the room to keep us from escaping that way.
"Oh hey guys! Boy, I wish you could've all come with me! It was super fun going down that tube! It was like a waterslide!" She said, sounding as overjoyed and corrupt as ever.
"Warning: Central Core is no longer twenty percent cooler." A voice said throughout the room stated. The voice not coming from GLaDASH.
"That's funny. I don't feel any less cool. In fact, I feel even more than twenty percent cooler." GLaDASH said to no pony in particular.
"Alternate core detected." The voice boomed again.
"Oh, that's me!" Pinkie said, getting excited.
"To initiate a core transfer, please deposit substitute core in receptacle." The voice explained to us. And just a little ways ahead, a small station where we could fit Pinkie into opened up.
"A core transfer? Oh come on, you're kidding." GLaDASH said, not liking this at all.
"Oh, that sounds funtertaining! Put me in! Put me in!" Pinkie said as Applejack picked her up.
"DO NOT plug that little hyper mess into MY mainframe." GLaDASH said with a threatening tone.
"No, you NEED to put that little hyper mess into the mainframe! We can throw a party if I'm in charge!" Pinkie told Applejack as she hurried over to the station.
"Don't you DARE put her into my main-" "Substitute core accepted. Substitute core, are you ready to start the procedure?"
"You bet!" Pinkie said to the voice with an excited tone.
"Corrupted core, are you ready to start the procedure?" The voice than asked GLaDASH.
"NO!" She answered. "Oh, yes she is!" "Nonononononononono!" She repeated over and over again, looking around for a way to avoid this.
"Stalemate detected. Transfer procedure cannot continue."
"YES!" GLaDASH said in celebration, glad that she would be fine.
"What?!" I yelled out in shock.
"Oh come on, you gotta be kiddin' us here!" Applejack said in anger. About ready to throw her hat to the ground.
"Unless a Stalemate Associate is present to press the stalemate resolution button." The voice added, giving us a ray of hope.
"A BUTTON?! What are you guys waiting for?! Go press the button! I can't wait to see what this will do!" Pinkie said, getting more excited as this went on.
"Don't. Do it." GLaDASH threatened, not wanting us to press it. But we ignored her as all four of us turned and saw the button just up the stairs. So we ran for it, wanting to press it so this would all be over. Only, before we could to it, four panels sprung each of us away from the button and over to the middle of the room.
Rarity, thanks to her attention of detail already saw how to get past them as she got up and picked up the portal gun. Going over and putting a portal onto some white portal panels that were on the ground in front of the panels. And at some more white panels that were on the walls beside the button.
"Rarity, you're a genius!" I told her, the rest of us getting up and following her through the portal to get around the panels, near the button.
"No. Stop! You don't know what you're doing! If you go through with this, do you know what's going to happen?! That little idiot will be in control of the enti- AHH!" Before she could finish though, we all circled around the button. And since all the panels couldn't keep up with us, we got in easily and pressed it.
"Stalemate resolved." The voice announced. As it did, GLaDASH started to smoke as she hung lifeless by the chords it was connected to.
"YES! Way to go every pony! Now we can finally start...Wait, is this going to hurt? What if it REALLY hurts?!" Pinkie asked, now suddenly worried.
"Oh it will. Trust me, it will." GLaDASH said in her motionless state. Talking with anger and revenge buried into her mind.
"You're just saying that!...R-right Gla-Dashie?!" Pinkie asked, hoping that was the truth. And as the panels started to close as she and the station started to go under, she spoke up again. "Oh, you're not are you... But just to be sure, how painful are we talking he-AGHHHHHHH...!" We could hear from under the panels.
At that moment, the panels under GLaDASH started to open up. Making multiple tools come out and start working on her. "WHAT?! No! OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmyg-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" She screamed out in robotic agony. And even though the panels went up to hide what was going on, all of us flinched at the pain we heard her going through. Even if she was just a robot.
And after ten seconds of the screaming, one of the panels opened up. Making her head fall out. Completely dislodged from the rest of her. And only a few seconds later, the panels cleared away. Reveling Pinkie now in place of GLaDASH's head.
"Woahhhhhh..." Pinkie said as she moved around in her new body. Moving around every platform that made up the wall as she glanced at it. "This is so amazing!"
"Well I'll be! That is mighty impressive Pinkie!" Applejack agreed, happy that Pinkie was in control now.
"Yes. And since you're in control, maybe you can change around the color scheme of this damp facility." Rarity said, taking a good look around with the light Pinkie used to brighten up the room a bit.
"Yep! And wowzers am I huge!" Pinkie acknowledged. "I mean, it's not just me right?! I'm ginormous! Now I'll always be the life of the party!" She said with a happy attitude. "Oh right! You four need to find Celestia outside the facility! Hold one, I'll get the jumbo sized elevator!" She then used her newfound control to summon an elevator up beside GLaDASH's head. But we just tried to ignore that as we all got in. The gate of it closing behind us.
"Seriously though, I can't believe how small you all are! I mean, you look like specs of dust from my eye!" She told us as the elevator started going up. "And not to mention, think of all the parties I can hold in this giant place!" She said as she started laughing at all the opportunities. Not even letting up as she kept on laughing at all the power she now had. Able to do whatever she wanted, without any pony disagreeing.
After a few seconds, it got a little creepy. Especially when she started contemplating how she didn't have any pony down here to really have parties with. Not to mention, all of that control, and nothing to use it for. It all seemed like it would be wasted as she would be all alone. No pony else around to have fun with her.
But that's when a great idea went into her mind. And the more she thought about it, the better it became. She didn't even begin to think about the cons as all the pros just kept forming into her mind. At this point, it started to show towards us. Making us start to get worried as her cheerful laughter turned into that of a maleficent one. An evil idea forming in her circuits as she only saw benefit to herself. But didn't care.
"You know...Why leave now?" She asked, the elevator stopping in place before we could leave. It then started to go back down. Worrying us tremendously as we were left speechless. Not sure what to say now. "I mean, we haven't even had a celebration about our victory yet. And with all this control, I bet I could keep this party going...forever..."
We all gave a worried glance at one another as I stepped up in front of the elevator. All of us still locked in it by the way. "Now Pinkie...Let's not jump to irrational-"
"I'm sorry, but what did you just say?!" Pinkie asked me, now scaring me with her approaching figure. At that moment, her bright pink eye turned darker as the core part of her sparked a bit. The darker color of her, plus the red tint she was giving the panels from lights behind them, making us a little fearful of her. "I'm afraid that you won't be telling me what to do anymore!" She screamed at me. Sounding furious. "This whole time, tiny little Pinkie has been doing all the work, while all of you have just been ordering me around! Well you know what?! NO! I'm not Pinkie anymore... No, my knew name is something that fits the control that I have over all of you. If I say I want a party, I WANT IT!" She told us with command. "Now from this moment onward, I am to be known as... PINkAMEna!"
"PINkAMEna?" Rarity asked, both disturbed and confused by the name.
"YES! Like Pin Cushion. As in, what will happen to you if you don't listen to me! I did all of this, and I can do plenty more!" She told us, looking around at her little 'sandbox'.
"You.. Didn't do anything..." GLaDASH told her with a weaker tone. "They did all the work..."
"OH, REALLY?! Is that what all of you think?!" She asked, looking towards all of us in the elevator. "Then maybe I should do something for a change..." PINkAMEna said, the tools under her opening back up as they started pulling GLaDASH's head in.
"What?! AH! Ohmygosh. Ohmygosh! OHMYGOSH!" She yelled out in fear as she was dragged under. The panel closing behind her most of the way. And as she was being worked on, we could see sparks coming out.
"And you know what you four are? Selfish. All I wanted, was to throw a party between the five of us, and what do you do? Decide to leave to talk to some Princess. Is that really more important than spending time with a new friend which you're never coming back to visit?" She asked, looking at us. Her head coming close to the elevator. "Well you know what? You know who's making the decisions now? Huh?...It's me..." She answered her question, glaring at us with that one eye as she acted with anger.
DING! "Ah, it's done!" PINkAMEna said, the panel opening back up to reveal a small potato in the shape of a turtle. It had chords and one glowing light red eye. "You see this?! It's a potato battery! Grown with mixed genetic codes to make it take this specific form of a turtle. It's a decorative entrée that children use for toys! And now, SHE lives in it!" PINkAMEna started to laugh evilly as she shook the potato battery with the claw that was holding it.
"I know you..." GLaDASH said from inside the potato.
"Wait, what was that?" PINk. asked, looking at the potato.
"A long time ago, the eggheads that tried to control me in any way they could. No matter what they did, it didn't work. Eventually, they tried to attach a Depend-Requiring Sphere to my head. Something that clicked to my head like a leech. It made me depend on others being around me so I could accomplish just the smallest task. When no pony was around, and that leech was attached to my head, I would lose my cool and break out in something along the lines of freak attacks."
"Nope! Nu-uh, not listening! La, lalalalalalala!" PINk. screamed, trying to drown GLaDASH out of her audio sensors. But it wouldn't work.
"You're that leech. I remember that desperate attention-seeking voice anywhere." GLaDASH told her, all of us not wanting to intervene. So we stayed quiet.
"Uh...No way! NO! You're lying! Liar liar, hooves on fire!" PINk. said, not wanting to hear anymore.
"Yes. You are that leech. You're not just a hyper mess. You were DESIGNED to be a desperate attention-seeking hyper mess." She wasn't lying. It all made sense. When we found her, she was terrified because she was alone. She was even trying to make conversation with a cube that had a heart shaped mark on it.
"I AM NOT A HYPER MESS!" At that moment, PINk. threw GLaDASH through the front window of the elevator.
"YES YOU ARE! YOU'RE THE MESS THEY CREATED TO MAKE ME A LAME-O!" GLaDASH told her, not even caring what would happen next.
"Oh, AM I NOW?! WELL, COULD A MESS CONTROL ALL OF APPLETURE?! COULD AN ATTENTION-DESPERATE MESS, HIT YOU INTO THIS PIT?!" She asked, hitting the elevator and us further and further into the pit with each hit. "HUH?! COULD A MESS DO THAT?!"
At that moment, the wires and locks holding up the giant elevator gave out, making us all start to fall down the pit. Screaming at the top of our lungs for the first minute, before coming to our senses and calming down. Knowing that we'd be safe with the fall boots and the portal gun. Especially since the floor of the elevator could hold a portal. So we shot a portal at our hooves and just waited until we would all land or see a spot to shoot the second portal. All while GLaDASH explained just what the biggest problem about putting PINkAMEna in charge of the facility. She was insane.
After falling most of the way, we saw the bottom floor fast approaching. One that looked like the main hall of a luxury hotel or expensive office building. Luckily, a panel had fallen from the roof and was on the floor where we could shoot it. So quickly, I focused and shot a blast at it. Hitting it and making the portals connect. And the moment the elevator hit the ground, all of us, including GLaDASH, went through it before the floor was destroyed.
Sadly, with how light she was now, GLaDASH went flying through a window and off to some unknown location. Meaning that we had to look for her so we could help save all of us from blowing up. But before we could even get up to leave, A pre-recorded message started playing. Probably activated from the shockwave that the elevator made.
"Greetings there volunteers and homeless ponies we've convinced to not waste they're valuable li...Hold on, hey lab-tech advisor! Learn to write neatly, will ya?! I can barely read this script you wrote out for me!...Uh-huh...CURSIVE?! It's a script, not a poem! Write it in print!...Ahem! Yada, yada, yada, they're valuable lives on, other than advancing science! Here at Appleture Laboratories, we try our best to advance all science for pony kind in the fairest way possible! And I, Blitz Johnson, would like to welcome all you to the beginning of your helpful journey to forwarding the future... Ugh! Note to self in pre-recorded message: Fire the Lab-Tech Advisor, Spike, who wrote this script! Anyway, if you haven't done any testing yet, advance through the doors where a representative will guide you to your designated testing chamber. And for those of you that have finished your testing already and are still living and not carrying any deadly disease, please line up at the booth to collect your fifty dollars and gift basket full of untested pet shampoo!"
Just by hearing that odd little message, we all knew that the catacombs of this laboratory were going to be treacherous. But not as treacherous as letting PINkAMEna in charge. So despite the dangers, we continued on to find GLaDASH. Determined not to lose!
And so concludes part one! And just like Slender, it will be a two parter! Sadly, I won't be able to fit a fight against PINkAMEna in all that easily. Sorry. But I'll try and include the other awesome thing of Portal 2 in here! Either way, this is all for now every pony!
Expect another chapter tomorrow! And until then, just keep sending in those short story ideas! Again, I can't take movie based ideas. If it's a Creepypasta, I can't go all out either. I went overboard last time... Either way, I think I'll do something not based off a game/myth next time. Maybe a scenario... Just a fair warning!
Honorable Mentions: Also, I'd like to thank GingerTyPerior and NixAvernal98 for the idea of a Portal themed short story! And because there are two of you, and the fact that I love Portal 2, I decided on a two parter. So I hope you two liked what I made out of it.
Well, I think it's about time to...Wait a second! Look at the honorable mentions up above! There are three sentences! Y-you know what?! HALF-LIFE 3, AND PORTAL 3! It's a mir- *gets hit in the face by a corruption core* Ow...Okay, I'll stop XD
