Chapter 10: The Final Confrontation Between Aperture and a Timelord
Author's Note: This will be my final chapter. I will try to do more fanfictions in the future over my winter break, but no promises. If I do, it will not be this type of crossover, or even a crossover at all. Well, let's continue testing.
The Doctor stepped into GLaDOS' chamber, once again marveling its openness. The TARDIS sat in the back of the chamber, with two strange robots guarding it with portal guns. One was blue and rather short, while the other was orange and tall.
"GLaDOS?" called the Doctor, trying the peaceful approach first. "Would you please allow me to leave in my TARDIS over there?"
"Why would I do that, Doctor?" replied GLaDOS cooly.
"You have your other test subjects, don't you? You don't need me. My attention needs to be elsewhere, not in your death traps!"
"I will let you leave, if you give me your little toy," offered the machine.
"My TARDIS? No," declined the Timelord.
"Not the blue box, your magic wand in your pocket."
"Ohh, you want my sonic screwdriver,' the Doctor replied.
"Yes, that toy that will revolutionize testing!"
"You can't have it, GLaDOS. I need it!" shouted the Doctor.
"Fine, then. I have no choice. In precisely six minutes, I will fill the chamber with deadly neurotoxin," said GLaDOS evilly. "I am impervious to the substance, but because you are living, well, I think you understand."
"Then I have no choice but to escape!"
"Except that your box requires a key, a key that you don't have." Atlas stepped forward, holding a Yale key in his hand.
The Doctor thought quickly in his head, and then a plan formed. He took it into action. He shot a blue portal on the ground directly to his right. He then shot the orange one right underneath Atlas. Atlas fell through and the Doctor snatched the key. He sprinted to the TARDIS, but P-Body shot a yellow underneath himself and the red by the Doctor. She snatched the key back and stood once again by the TARDIS. The Doctor used the portals to his advantage and took the key back from P-Body, right in front of the TARDIS. He shoved the key in, turned it, and was just about to open the door when a metallic hand hit him on the head. Atlas grabbed the key after hitting the Doctor.
The Doctor stood up, slapped Atlas, recoiled in pain, took the key, shoved the key in his pocket, ran inside the TARDIS, and dematerialized.
Epilogue…
GLaDOS hung in the chamber, loathing the Doctor, his TARDIS, his screwdriver, and his stolen Portal Device. She would get her revenge. She swore it on the grave of her daughter…
The Doctor stood in the TARDIS alone. He was in his normal attire, including a fez. He left GLaDOS alive, hoping she would change. He knew she wouldn't. GLaDOS thought she was perfect. Realizing his duty, he grabbed the Portal Device, folded the jumpsuit, and took the boots. He placed them into a large bag and set coordinates for GLaDOS' chamber. The TARDIS made its usual wooshing sound and the Doctor stepped outside.
GLaDOS faced him angrily. Before she said a word, the Doctor placed the bag on the floor and stepped back inside the TARDIS. The blue box dematerialized. Atlas grabbed the bag and took out its contents: the jumpsuit, the boots, and the stolen Portal Gun. At the bottom of the bag was a small rod, a sonic screwdriver. "I am sorry, Doctor," said GLaDOS quietly.
The Doctor paced in his TARDIS, tossing his original screwdriver up in the air and catching it. He had simply given GLaDOS a functioning copy, courtesy of the TARDIS console. He ran to the console and entered a new set of coordinates. "Time for a new adventure!"
