//------------------------------// // 6 : The Final Tests // Story: Pinkie Portal // by RainbowDaschund //------------------------------// The elevator pod reached the top of the shaft. Pinkie Pie walked out and headed up the stairs in front of her. The top of the stairs led her along metal grated paths like before. She heard Wheatley's voice overhead talking to an invention he tried making; turrets inside a cube. Although Wheatley was to focused with the turrets to notice Pinkie. "We've been here twelve hours! You've got an hour to solve it! I'll be back." Wheatley said to the turrets. The path had only led inside the test chamber the turret cubes were in. Pinkie figured she might be able to get past him. The door to continue was sealed, so she took one of the turret cubes and placed it on the button connecting to the door. "Hey! It's so good to see you guys again! This works out perfect considering I'm running short on test subjects!" Wheatley exclaimed with a menacing tone. Wheatley opened the door blocking the entrance to the next room. Pinkie walked in the next area built by Wheatley. To be honest, the room was quite pitiful. She hit a button and a cube dropped onto the button, opening up the door next to her. One of the easiest tests she ever did. She walked down a flight of stairs into the next elevator pod. "Oh, you're done already? Okay um... there's got to be some more tests around here somewhere. Ah, here we are!" Wheatley exclaimed. "Well it shouldn't be hard staying alive long enough to find him, he knows about test building as much as he knows about logical contradictions" stated Glados. "It's okay, I built some more tests" said Wheatley as they reached the top of the elevator. "This is one of MY tests!" exclaimed Glados. She moved through the tests that were rather more difficult than usual. Pinkie finished placing the cube down and walking through the door as Glados said "Well the bad news is the tests are my tests now, so they CAN kill us." She made her way through the next and as she finished it, Glados started talking again. "Well the good news is he'll run out of tests soon because I never stockpiled them. Pinkie worked her way through each test although they didn't seem to get much harder. "Uh oh it can't be...oh...well it's probably nothing, just keep testing while I think of way out" Glados said concernedly. Pinkie Pie then made her way through another test before hearing Glados again. "He's leading us right to him! But he's getting desperate with you completing them relatively fast. This could be good, or really bad." said Glados. The next test had a new device that had multiple lasers activated by a switch in which she worked her way back and forth across it, turning it on and off. Wheatley's voice came on again as Pinkie Pie entered the next elevator room. "Well I couldn't find any more tests for you to do... So I think I'll find one if you want to go on ahead. OH! That just reminds me, I have a BIG surprise for you two coming up soon. You might even say you'll love it to DEATH!" Wheatley said unsubtle. Pinkie walked into the pod elevator. The elevator soon reached the top as Wheatley's voice said overhead "Well I bet you're both DYING to know what your big surprise is, well only TWO more chambers!" Pinkie walked forward into the room and jumped onto the aerial face plate. To her and Glados amazement, the plate shot left as wall panels opened up, sailing Pinkie and Glados through the air several times. "SURPRISE! We're doing it now!" Wheatley exclaimed. The Aerial face plates led Pinkie to Wheatley. "Hello! This is the part where I kill you. Wheatley babbled on about how he set up spiked walls all around you, ready to close in and kill you. Pinkie noticed The white gel she'd seen earlier leaking from above. She used it to portal herself just beyond where she was before as Wheatley made an attempt to close the walls in on her. She was galloping on metal grates for paths again, and felt the same way it did when Pinkie was taking Wheatley up to Glados. Wheatley made several attempts to crush walls and giant objects down onto them as they navigated their way through the multiple rooms. Pinkie used multiple portals, red gel, blue gel, white gel, and turrets to get past Wheatley's obstacles, which were surprisingly harder than Glados's attempts. Pinkie then walked into a small circular room with a circuit board. "Good the cores are corrupted. If you can stun him, I'll send you a core and you can plug it into him. If we do it a few times, it may put his corruption level high enough for another core transfer. Okay plug me into the circuit there" said Glados. Pinkie Pie placed her in as Glados started again. "Even if you think we're still enemies, we're enemies with a common goal; revenge." Glados finished as the moving platform they were on neared the room where Wheatley is...
