"If you want my advice, you should just lie down in front of a rocket. Trust me; it'll be a lot less painful than the neurotoxin," GLaDOS said as she continued to swing back and fourth. She somewhat resembled a person, hung upside down from their ankles with their hands tied behind their legs, swaying in a daze like someone who belonged in an asylum. It sent a shiver down Edd's spine as he thought about it, before another explosion snapped him back to reality.

"Double-D!" Eddy shouted from atop Ed. They were wrestling on the ground, rolling around both to try and get on top of another and to dodge the rockets slowly being fired at them. "Do something!"

"I...Uh..." Edd frantically looked around the room for something--anything that could help them. Aside from the incinerator, there was nothing Edd could make use of. He looked at the Rocket Turret, which was too focused on trying to obliterate Ed and Eddy to notice him. A visible laser beam marked where it was aiming, and Edd noticed that the rockets traveled along the line precisely. That gave him an idea.

"Eddy!" Edd shouted, "Heads up!" Without hesitation, Edd fired an orange portal high up on the concrete wall of the room and a blue portal underneath Ed and Eddy. The two fell down and separated in order to land feet-first, their heelsprings protecting them.

Ed landed right next to a rocket, fractions of a second before it exploded. It knocked the boy across the room, whizzing past GLaDOS and earning a "watch where you're going," from her. He skidded across the floor a bit before getting up as if it didn't phase him.

Eddy bounced on his heelsprings over to Edd, and said, "Can you give me more time to, oh, I dunno... REACT before you portal me thirty feet up?"

"Sorry Eddy," Edd said, "But I had to separate you and Ed. I have a plan." Edd whispered something into Eddy's ear, and the boy raised his eyebrows.

"Gotcha, Double D!" Eddy said. He turned towards Ed, who was running toward him, and said, "Okay, Ed! It's go time!"

Edd knew he couldn't waste any time. The clock was at four minutes and fifty seven seconds, and he could see a thin green mist spewing from the vents around the room. He fired a blue portal on the floor, right underneath GLaDOS.

Eddy quickly jumped over Ed as the boy charged at him, but Ed grabbed Eddy's leg and threw him across the room. "Lumpy finally grows a brain, and he's evil," Eddy remarked to himself as he got up. He ran toward the rocket turret, getting its attention and causing it to slowly turn until its laser was aiming at Eddy. Eddy stepped aside as it beeped, but it remained still and the rocket flew past the boy into the wall beyond.

Ed charged at Eddy again, who quickly jumped to the side. Eddy backed up against the wall, saying "Hey stupid, I'm over here!" Ed charged at Eddy, who shouted "NOW!"

Edd fired an orange portal directly behind Eddy, who backed into it quickly and climbed out the floor under GLaDOS. Ed raced towards the portal, but slammed into the concrete wall as Edd closed it. Before Ed could turn around, a rocket fired at him. Edd quickly fired an orange portal in front of Ed as the rocket slammed into the back of his head.

The boy flew through the portal and slammed right into GLaDOS, causing something to fall from her. Ed fell on the floor, and with the sound of crunching metal, the probe attached to his head was destroyed.

"Ed, are you alright?" Edd shouted as he ran over to his friend. He stopped momentarily as he remembered the rocket turret, but when he turned around he saw that it was disabled.

"Oh, my aching head," Ed said, his voice back to normal. "Where am I? Where did the cake go?"

"Ed! Thank goodness you're alright!" Edd said, helping the boy on his feet.

"Yo Sockhead!" Eddy called, holding something. It looked like GLaDOS' morality core, except the eye was orange. "What should I do with this?"

"Who are you?" the core said in a high-pitched voice, not too different than the turrets'. Its eye whirled around, as if it was trying to see everything around it. "What is that? Oh, what is that? OOOOH, that thing has numbers on it!"

"That is Eddy," Ed told the core, "He is short and gets angry a lot."

"Yeah, like RIGHT NOW!" Eddy said, shoving the core into Ed's stomach.

"Oh, you're the children from the test!" the core said, "Hi!"

"What is it?" Eddy asked.

"It looks like another one of GLaDOS' cores," Edd said.

"Aw, isn't it cute?" Ed cooed as the core continued to ask.

"It almost pains me to say this, but I think we must incinerate it," Edd said. He looked at GLaDOS, and noticed two more similar cores attached to her. "It's a longshot, but I hypothesize that if we can destroy all four of her cores, it'll shut her down. Or at least stop the neurotoxin."

"Oh boy!" Ed shouted, "this'll be just like Narbacular Drop!"

"It's good to have ya back, Lumpy," Eddy said. He handed the core to Edd, who ran toward the incinerator. Ed turned toward GLaDOS, and said, "Wow, you're big, Glady!"

"That's GLaDOS," the machine replied.

"Where's my cake?"

"You still want cake? After those subjects brainwashed you?"

"What?"

"Don't listen to her, Ed!" Eddy said. "She's just messing with you."

"Listen to them. Trying to seduce you. Are you really that stupid?"

"But they're my friends!"

"They were your friends."

"They were?"

Just then, there was a small explosion followed by a blood-curdling scream.

"One down, two to go!" Edd shouted.
