> Wheatley's Mishaps > by Tardis of Dr Whooves > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Cast out > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note that this first chapter is with Wheatley still being in the facility as he's bombing chell. Although slightly changed up. For instance, Chell speaking and Wheatley's cause of insanity being corruption of power from the control thingy. Just to make that clear. Anyways! On with the story! "Just stand still will you!?" yelled Wheatley as he kept his lock on Chell, firing wave after wave of bombs at her. "Just keep still, we can end this all much more quickly!" Chell looked at Wheatley with sadness evident in her eyes. "Wheatley! Please! Just stop! I don't want to fight you!" she screeched at him, voice full of betrayal. All this had no impact on Wheatley, he merely glared at her with hate filled eyes before yelling out, "Am I being too vague? I despise you. I loathe you. You arrogant, smugly quiet, awful jumpsuited monster of a woman. You and your little potato friend. This place would have been a triumph if it wasn't for you!" He pointed a finger at her, constantly shouting taunts with blind rage before he accidently destroyed one of the pipes filled with portal surface gel. "No! Nononono AAAAARGH!" Chell caught on quick and with one last look of pity she couldn't face it any longer. She fired a portal through the hole in the roof and up to the moon and stared back at Wheatley. Wheatley stopped for a second and noticed her shot, he cautiously looked to her. "What are you doing?" he asked before seeing her aim the portal gun below him. "No! No! Do NOT do it! I forbid you to do it!" In the distance he could hear the yell of former facility owner GLaDOS yelling out, "Yes c'mon! Do it! Hurry!" "Don't you dare!" "We're so close! Fire that portal!" And with a look of regret, Chell closed her eyes and fired the portal, just as Wheatley attempted to run off away from her aim. As the portal struck the floor, Chell grabbed hold of the railings so she wouldn't be sucked in. But she noticed the portal acting up as it fizzled and warped and pulsed slightly. A light shone from the moon as the portal on the floor ripped open in a colour of purple and began sucking in the closest living thing nearby. Namely Wheatley! Wheatley looked at it and quickly disconnected himself from the control, his suit slowly fading from grey to white and he shook his head and looked around dazed. "What...what happened? Why is there a portal on the floo-OH GOD IT'S PULLING ME IN!" he quickly scrambled about on the floor, the corruption of power, cleared from his mind as if it was never there. Chell looked on with tears in her eyes, watching as Wheatley's foot slid into the haywire portal. "Oh no! It's got me! Grab me! ARGH! GRAB ME! GRAB ME! GRAB ME! GRAB MEEEEEEEE!" The portal fizzled as Wheatley was sucked in and closed up. Leaving Chell to black out from her injuries and GLaDOS to sort out the facility. What happened to Wheatley you ask? Well....let’s find out! > Wheatley vs Twilight: Research Edition > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Falling....that's all he could remember before hitting the ground. Falling and yelling. Wheatley began to regain consciousness as he looked around whilst rubbing his head. "Agh...the portal...THE PORTAL! Oh my word!" He leapt up from the dirt monster called the ground and took in his surroundings. "Huh. Looks like something one of those kids would draw from bring your daughter to work day.....that did NOT end well." He soon found his vision lined with the nearby town of Ponyville. "Ooooh, heh heh heh. Ok then!" As he began his approach he soon found himself face to face with a certain pink pony we all know too well. Pinkie Pie! "Hi!" "Gah! Talking equines!" "Talking what now? No! I'm Pinkie Pie! We're all ponies! Except you! You're not a pony! What are you? I've never seen anything like you before! Are you new here?" Pinkie stopped and gasped suddenly. "Oh my goodness! I have to introduce you to all my friends! There's Fluttershy, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Da-hey! Where are you going?" During Pinkie's rant Wheatley had taken off past her into the town with alot of thoughts running through his mind. "That portal must've got some gel in its workings. Opened up a dimensional portal sending me here! HAH! I'm in a land of talking ponies!" he quickly paused his thoughts as he ran straight into the side of the library. "Ow that smarts. Yeesh. Been ages since I've ever been outside...hm." he picked himself up just as the purple unicorn herself walked out and stared at him with a curious gaze. Wheatley just looked down to her without emitting a word. They both stared at each other for a while before Twilight, with a ever so excited tone spoke first, breaking the awkward silence. "OH MY GOSH! WHAT ARE YOU?! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE YOU BEFORE! CAN YOU TALK? YOU'RE WEARING CLOTHES! WHAT'S UP WITH YOUR HOOVES? OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOOOOOSH!" Wheatley merely looked back blankly before uttering, "Hello!" Twilight took in a deep breath to break the dam of another flood of questions, that is until Wheatley pressed a finger against her muzzle. "Hold on with the questions! It's cold and I'm not used to be outside. No questions, is that a library? Hm." He began to walk up, leaving Twilight left in place with a very dumbfounded look on her face. "Hah! It is! The books tell all!" He turned back to Twilight who was clearing her mind a the time. She gave off one of those squeaks and announced herself. "Ahem, my name is Twilight Sparkle! Personal student to Princess Celes-" "WOA WOA WOA! Back up against the chamber lock!" "Chamber wha-?" "Princess? Gah! They- urgh. They never tell me anything these days! Nooo, why should I be kept informed about what’s going on! What with having to look after all the bloody test subjects. Yet this is another dimension....hmmm." Twilight decided now would be a good time to pick him up using her magic and carry him back into the library. She turned to him, with him hanging there in mid-air. She calmly let out a breath and started to question Wheatley about his species, where he's from and everything else. *** "So you're saying you were sucked into a faulty portal, and you only use science, and magic doesn't even EXIST!? That's impossible!" Twilight said whilst she paced in the library, Wheatley was sat on a sofa watching her. "Nope! It's all about science. Or testing. Depends if you're like the ones above. It's strange." "GAH! First the freeing of Luna from Nightmare Moon, signs of Discord's return and now this!" Twilight mumbled to herself. "I'm still here y'know!" Twilight jumped and broke out of her thinking trace. "Oh! I'm so sorry! My assistant, Spike, is away at Canterlot and has been for a while now. I got used to thinking with nobody around!" she quickly said with a nervous chuckle. "Oh! I need to introduce you to all my best friends! There's Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pi-" "Oh I know her. She popped up right as I was walking! Y'know, they said that if I ever used a portal, I would DIE! Honestly, they told me that about everything! I mean I don't know why they'd bother giving me all this stuff if I couldn’t even use it I mean it's pointless! Mad!" Twilight eventually pulled him up with magic and opened the door. She looked back to him with a smile and said, "Well there's no time to lose! You've met the craziest one so far so you'll fit in perfectly! Let's go!" "Craziest? Fit in perfectly? ARE YOU CALLING ME A MORO-gah!" Wheatley's sentence was cut off as he was dragged outside, about to be fully introduced to the outside world. Where all the ponies are calm, collected and very polite for privacy..... > A very calm world... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "FOR THE RECORD! I BLAME YOU FOR THIS!" yelled Wheatley as he and Twilight ran past more buildings intent on getting back to the library. The little introduction didn't go quite as planned. Both Wheatley and Twilight had first stopped by Rariy's, followed by Applejack's farm. Both of whom were quite skeptical at first, but eventually warmed up to Wheatley. Despite his strange appearence. Pinkie Pie was busy pranking with Rainbow Dash when Twilight brought Wheatley over. And by brought over, meaing dragged over with magic. Rainbow Dash was highly skeptical of him. She flew around him a bit and nudged him lightly with a hoof causing him to lean back, then rock forwards slowly again. After a few more pokes and stares she eventually turned to Twilight, giving a nod and a small smile. "Eh, he could be about 20% cooler. But he's ok." Pinkie, being the mad one she is, had began bouncing around Wheatley whilst speaking so quickly that Wheatley couldn't even keep up! "So then I saw you walking around with Twilight only to be dragged over here before you wondered off she does like to do that Twilight is very strict to her timing when she's already planned things so I wouldn't bother trying to change THAT!" She eventually stopped bouncing and looked up to him with a large grin that shouldn't even be possible! Now, Twilight's intention was to quickly being Wheatley around and show him to her friends. She wouldn't mind him walking in public, but with Pinkie's continued rattling on, a crowd had quickly formed. After Wheatley had gotten his head around the string of words Pinie had blurted out, he was about to say something to Twilight before he saw the crowd. Twilight had also noticed and motioned for Wheatley to follow her. And by follow her she meant to run as fast as he could before he could get bundled by a bunch of curious ponies who clearly knew about privacy of a new equestrian species. Now we return to the duo who have fled into the library, followed by Twilight slamming the dor and casting a quick spell onto it. Wheatley had been placed on the sofa by her magic and he merely sat there. He evntually spoke up after a few minutes though. "What happened to a nice 'calm' walk about town?!" he cried out. Twilight shook her head with a sigh. "How was I supposed to know? You're a completly different species! I should've expect a stronger reaction." "And I was told that I come up with bad ideas!" "Who told you tha-" "A matter for another time! For now, we have a bigger matter at hand and it involves an entire town....village....whatever you're going to call this area!" Twilight looked back outside the window to find the Library to be surrounded with various ponies. All of which were trying to look in to get a better view of Wheatley, of whom was seen as a new and mysterious creature with unknown capabilites! .....let's hope they weren't expecting much of him! ...right!? > The mist of a dawn since passed > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Come on! Just a bit further!" cried a man as he held on tight to a young girl. They were both running down hallways as they were set alight with gunshots firing all around behinde them. Sweat was pouring off the man's face onto the white lab coat which was now stained with dirt and blood. The girl had dark brown hair and stood up to just below the man's shoulders. She wore a black shirt and blue trousers along with having a few cuts along her arms and face. Her eyes were brown but the man's eyes were a brilliant shade of blue. They both ran round a corner and just missed a pipe crashing through the roof and taking out part of the floor. What was chasing them wasn't what would be expected. It was a floating turret of sorts of which was a curved and thick disc shape with guns stick out from the sides along with blades hidden away inside that can be revealed from a hatch opening on the underside. The man's once dark blonde hair was now also tainted with brown dirt and derbies as his glasses had a few cracks in them. The girl suddenly screamed to him with fear evident in her voice. "A DOOR! IT'S THERE!!!" The man took note and nodded whilst running and had to jump over a few obsticals that were now sticking up out of the floor, walls and ceiling. The girls was smaller and able to do this with more ease but the mans stumbled a bit and got hit by a bullet in his shoulder. He let out a groan of pain as the girl shrieked "DADDY!" The man managed to get up however and reach back to the girl, but another turret had shown up in front of the door and fired it's rounds. The man quickly picked up a pipe piece and smashed it across the turret, sending it flying back through the hole in the wall. He and the girl quickly reached the door. This wasn;t a ordinary wooden door though, noor was the hallway. All metal plating and the door had a hydraulic bolt lock system. The man quickly punched in the code for the door and hauled it open, but turned in time to see a turret fire it's last few rounds at him and the girl. *** (Play this in the background for this part: Fitting Music ) "I'm sorry daddy..." "It's not your fault. I didn't pay enough attention to you, it's my fault...." The man sat aside the wall, safe from harm at last, he had the girl resting her had on his lap, with a large wound in her chest and shoulder, blood leaking out all over the man's clothes. "I'm going to die aren't I?" the girl shakily looked up to her father with tears in her eyes. The man had a small smile and wiped her tears away as tears formed in his own eyes. "No. No you're not. We're both going to get out of this place. We can go back to that feild area again if you want! Maybe get an Ice-cream?" The girls chuckled weakly and coughed a bit, "Dad, you know I don't go down the beach just for Ice-cream!" "I know...I know..." he smiled and held her closer. "Dad...my head feels funny, I feel all tired and...I don't know." The tears had started to fall from the man's face as he held her, knowing what was happening. "D..don't worry. We will get out of this! I swear! Please..." he looked down to see that her eyes were closed but not a breath to be seen or heard. The man had tears rolling down his cheeks and he held her even closer, eventually screaming out to the world. A few minutes had passed and he eventually looked up to see a woman standing there with white hair and unnatural yellow like eyes. She stared down at him with a small frown. "I'm so sorry..." she said. The man's eyes went wide, the areas around them red and stained with tears. "C...caroline...?" She nodded with a frown. "Yes. They're about to begin...I...don't know if I'll be the same though! It...scares me. They said they need you though." "Me?! Why? I have nothing! I've...." he looked down at the girl again with more tears then looked back up again. "I've lost my world already...first her mother, I had to raise her myself! What can I possibly do now?!" The woman had a single tear run down her eye. "I really am sorry...but you need to..." The man waited a few minutes before eventually sighing and placing the girl down against the wall. "I take it all the turrets have been disabled then..." Caroline merely nodded. "Yes...don't worry though....I may loose my memory but I doubt I'll remember your name..." "Names...right." He said glumly as he began walking next to her down the hall. He paused and looked back to see two security guards lift the girl up and take her away. He wanted to run up to them, knock them out and hold his daughter to himself again, he didn't want to let her go...but he knew he had no chocie in the matter. Caroline nudged him gently. "Come on...I'm not sure what they're going to do to you...but trust e when I say I doubt I'll ever forget your name...we've been working alongside eachother for all the time we worked here. I don't think bring your daughter to work day was the best idea however..." "Yeah...I know." "Don't worry Wheatley...let's get this over with and I'm sure things will get better." Caroline said with a small smile as she put an arm around Wheatley's blood and dirt stained back as they both walked down the large walkway towards their destination.
