Chapters My Little Portal 2 - Celestial Science
20 years after the incident...
"Hello test subject! You have been in suspension for 9.9999999999 years." A voice said. What? Where am I? Scootaloo asked herself. Then it all came back to her. The mane six went missing, and only Fluttershy returned, telling everyone that the other girls were dead. Rainbow Dash was dead. Her idle. After that, Scootaloo decided to test at the new place called Celestial Science. The other cutie mark crusaders went with her. More memories came back. They tested, and it was deadly. The AI called herself GLaDOS, and threatened them with turrets and Neurotoxin if they did not test. Please, no more testing! The door opened, and there stood Applebloom and Sweetiebelle.
"Oh Scoots, thank goodness you're alright!" Applebloom said, and hugged her friend.
"Same to you girls." Scootaloo replied. Just then, a wite pony with a blue and white mane walked in. He wore somehing around his chest that resembled a core.
"AHHHH A ROBOT!" Sweetie shrieked.
"SHHHHH! She doesn't know i'm here yet. I'm going to help you escape." He said with an odd accent.
"Who are you?" Applebloom asked.
"My name is Wheatly. Trust me, I can help. Follow me." He told them. Why does that name sound familiar?
"Alright. I spose anything is better than testing." Applebloom said, and followed him, and so did the other girls.
"Um, alright i'm gonna hack the door..." He said. "I can't do it when you're looking." The girls loooked the other way as Wheatly 'hacked' the door. "There. Hacked."
"Wait a minute, doesn't that door lead to the test chambers?" Scootaloo asked.
"No, that's the door across the hall." he said pointing a hoof at the open door. "This leads to the old Neurotoxin generator. They had an exit put in there for if it got a leak." Wheatly said, leading them through the door.
"Why did they shut it down?" Sweetie asked.
"It broke. Whole place filled with Neurotoxin and they had to abandon it." Wheatly replied.
"Then aren't we in danger?!" Scootaloo exclaimed.
"Nah. That happened a few years ago. They only built a new one because this one was not very nice." He told her. "By the way, I was just wondering why you all have the same mark on your flanks."
"Our cutie marks? I don't know. Everypony who comes here gets the same one. An orange portal on one side, blue on the other. Don't you know that?" he shook his head.
"I don't usually talk with the test subjects, but I recognize you three. The cutie mark crusaders test subjects. How's that working out for you?"
"Terrible." They all said. He chuckled.
"At least you're all still alive. I remember a few tests in, and Twilight was already dead." He told them.
"You knew Twilight? Was applejack there too?" Applebloom asked.
"And Rainbow Dash?" Scoots added.
"Yes. Let's see if I remember all of their names... Rarity, extremely whiny and annoying. Applejack, got stuck in the vents and fell to her death. *chuckle* Rainbow Dash, one of the last to die. She destroyed GLaDOS with a sonic rainboom, and snapped her neck in the process. Pinkie Pie was lost to a turret, as was Rarity. and Chell died in the fire." All three mares looked at him in horror.
"And you're the one who Fluttershy saved." Scootaloo finished. Wheatly nodded.
"Yes, the one pony who did not drive me crazy. She also convinced the others not to leave me behind."
"Oh poor Fluttershy... She had to see all of them die?" Sweetiebelle asked.
"Yea. She kept having nightmares after that. Sometimes she would forget what happened and go to see one of her friends. It was so sad when she got sick." Wheatly said.
"But I thought you were a core. Why are you a pony now?" Scootaloo asked.
"After Fluttershy died, I wanted revenge on GLaDOS. I had the nanobots build me a body, and here I am. And here is the exit. I would run pretty fast, because the alarm sounds when you open the door."
"But we can't leave now. We gotta destroy GLaDOS!" Scootaloo told him.
"You're joking. You've gotta be. I can't believe my ears."
"We have too! She killed mah sister!" Applebloom insisted.
"And Mine!"
"And Rainbow Dash!"
"And she'll kill you too if you don't leave. There is no cake, or prize at the end. Only an incinerator!" Wheatly snapped. "You're still not leaving are you?" They shook their heads. He sighed. "Listen, I was about to replace the turrets with defective ones. If you help me do that without getting noticed, I'll help you defeat HER."
"Okay!" The three mares cheered.
"SHHHH! Since you've been asleep for... Quite a long time, I'll tell you about what you missed. As usual, GLaDOS killed the scientists. I'm not sure, but I think she has one of the princesses testing as well. Even though GLaDOS was just built around twenty years ago, she still remembers everything from before then. She has thousands of ponies captured for testing. I only hope we can save them all." He said, and began leading them to the newer part of Celestial Science.
"It's actually quite interesting how they built this place. The whole facility is inside of the mountain. GLaDOS changed it so it's just like the original Aperture Science." Wheatly told them.
"Aperture Science?" Sweetiebelle asked.
"It's like Celestial Science, but it's on a planet called earth. That is where me and GLaDOS come from. Oh, how my life would be so much easier if I had fingers... Anyways, first thing we need to do is get some portal guns."
"Why don't you have one already?" Scootaloo asked.
"You think I would go there? The place where the portal guns are stored is the most guarded place in the entire facility! But you mares, on the other hoof, are the perfect ponies to go and sneak into it." The three mares gulped.

"Do you even know where you're going?" Sweetiebelle asked the core.
"Course I do. I know this place like the back of my... Hoof... No I have no idea." Everypony sighed.
"You truly are a moron. You can't even find the turret factory." A voice said.
"I am NOT a moron! Oh, that's not good..."
"It's HER!" Scootaloo shrieked.
"You think I did not notice you were missing from the test chambers? And I have cameras everywhere. I thought you would have figured that out by now." GLaDOS told them.
"I liked you better when you were dead." Wheatly growled.
"And I liked you better when you were lost in space." She replied. "Now why don't you three fillies run along back to the test chambers. There is a nice, chocolaty cake waiting for you there."
"We can see through yer lies, GLaDOS." Applebloom hissed.
"Oh, really? It looks like we have some smart ponies for once." GLaDOS said.
"Haha, smarter than you." Wheatly told her.
"Says the moron who almost blew up Aperture Science."
"SHUT UP!"
"I bet your so called 'friends' are thinking of how much of a moron you are right now."
"SILENCE!"
"Oh, it is so easy to get on your bad side. Perhaps I should post this video of you losing it on Youtube. Yes, that's what I'll do."
"You leave Wheatly alone!" Scootaloo yelled.
"Says the one with no family."
"You need to stop! Yer just being mean!" Applebloom snapped.
"Says the blank flank. You only have your Cutie Mark because everyone here gets the same one." GLaDOS said to her. "Come now Sweetiebelle, you're a big mare now. Are you going to tell me how mean i'm being? Or how I should stop?"
"No. I'm going to tell it how it is. You're a nobody. A psychopath who kills because it's fun. You call yourself a scientist, I call you a b****. You want us o keep testing? Kiss. My. Flank."
"Just like her sister." Wheatly said, smiling.
"You foal! You dare insult me? I could flood the entire facility with Neurotoxin faster than you can scream for help. I am a scientist. Think of all the things I've learned from testing. You're an insignificant little troll." GLaDOS fought back.
"You call me a troll? I think not. If anyone is a troll, it is you, since you 'trolled' everypony with the Neurotoxin. Things you've learned from testing? Maybe how many different languages a pony can scream in before dying. Still think you're a scientist? Don't make me laugh. You got put into a potato by the one you call a moron, and almost got eaten by a bird."
"Keyword 'almost'. I have learned plenty of things from testing, like where all of the pressure points are. Truthfully, I don't know why I have not flooded the place with Neurotoxin yet."
"GLaDOS, have you run out of comebacks so soon? Didn't you once claim to know everything?"
"By the way, when was the last time you used the Neurotoxin. I remember blowing up the new generator." Wheatly said.
"I do know everything! And I think I would have noticed if the Neurotoxin generator got blown up. Here, i'll use it right now." GLaDOS said.
Nothing happens.
"You broke it!" She yelled. "You'll pay for this! Say hello to the turrets!"
"You didn't happen to blow up the turret factory in the process, did you?" Scootaloo asked. He shook his head. the room changed, and now there were four turrets in front of them.
"Crap."
My Little Portal 2 - Celestial Science
"Hello."
*Lot's of screaming.*
Once the firing stopped, the ponies slowly got back up.
"What? How are you still alive?" GLaDOS asked.
"I guess the turrets are already crap..." Wheatly told her.
"..."
"Haha, guess we wont be dying today." He told the mares.
"I wouldn't say that. I can just kill you myself. I doubt three fillies and a complete moron will be able to beat me." GLaDOS told them.
"I'm 28!" Scootaloo snapped.
"I really don't care. Now, i'm afraid you're all about to be past members of the being alive club. Ha. Ha." The floor began to fall away, and soon they were falling into a pit.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Wheatly screamed, before hitting the floor.
"Wheatly are you okay?" Sweetie asked.
"NO! MY PORTAL GUN IS BROKEN!" He snapped, causing Sweetie to face-hoof. "Oh, hey this is a first. She brings us right to her." He said.
"You moron, the portal gun was not about to break your fall, if that's what you thought when you fell on it." GLaDOS said. "Now, let's make this quick. Your precious princess Celestia will be testing soon and I don't want to miss it." Four long claws came down and picked up the four ponies. She brought them closer to her. "How should I kill you? I could crush your skulls, but that would be messy. Perhaps I will use the incinerator. Yes, I like that idea." The ponies were brought over to the incinerator. "Any last words?" She asked.
"Yes." Scootaloo said. "Do you know what happens when you shoot an orange portal and a blue portal at each other?" She asked.
"No." GLaDOS said.
"Then let's find out." She grabbed Applebloom's gun, and fired the portals at each other. There was a small explosion. Just a small one, but enough to break the claws that were holding them. The ponies dropped to the floor.
"Core corruption at 70%" A male voice said.
"How coincidental that should happen when you are all here." GLaDOS said.
"Alternate core detected."
"This again?" Wheatly asked.
"To initiate core transfer, please place substitute core in the receptical."
"Really? Another core transfer?" GLaDOS asked.
"Alright, how do I do this as a pony?" Wheatly asked.
"Stick your head in it." GLaDOS told him. He glared at her.
"Try standing on it." Applebloom suggested. Wheatly walked over to the receptical, placing all four hooves on it. It locked his hooves in place.
"Okay, I guess that worked." He told them.
"Substitute core, are you ready to start the procedure?"
"Yes!"
"Corrupted core, are you ready to start the procedure?"
"Bite me."
"Interpreting vague answer as yes."
"NO!" GLaDOS yelled.
"Yes she is! Wow, deja vu." Wheatly said.
"Stalemate detected. Transfer procedure can not continue."
"Yes!"
"Unless a stalemate associate is present to press the stalemate resolution button."
"Haha!" Wheatly cheered.
"I'm on it!" Scootaloo said and took to the air, dashing to the button. But she stopped.
"What are you waiting for? Press it!" Wheatly yelled.
"But, what if you turn insane again?" She asked.
"We don't have time for this!" He snapped. She hesitantly pressed the button. "Oh, wait. I forgot how much this hurts... I really did not think this through- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed, and a wall formed around GLaDOS, and she screamed louder. Her head was tossed aside, and the wall came down.
"Haha, I also forgot how great this feels." Wheatly said. He was a normal core again, attached to GLaDOS' old body. "Oh, right. You probably want the escape lift. I'll go ahead and call it." He said.
"Thanks wheatly." Scootaloo said and led her friends to the lift.
"Wait," Sweetie began. "Can you free all of the other ponies too?"
"Well, yea, what can't I do?" He asked.
"Walk." Applebloom pointed out.
"That's fixable. Anyways, let me just free all of the test subjects and... Done!" He said.
"Hooray!" Sweetiebelle cheered. "We did it!"
"Well, I did most of it, but you girls helped too." Wheatly said.
"What are you talking about? This is playing out just like last time. They did most of the work, you only got them lost." GLaDOS said.
"Is that really what you think? Well I think you just don't want to give me credit for what I did." Wheatly said.
"And what did you do?" GLaDOS asked.
"I led them to the exit, but they insisted on coming here. I helped them get portal guns, and I got rid of you!" He hissed.
"And you would not have 'gotten rid of me' if the orange one did not press the button." GLaDOS said.
"So that is what you all think? That I did nothing?" He asked.
"I didn't say that, she did!" Scootaloo said.
"You may as well have said it. You're just like Chell. That smugly quiet monster of a woman did the exact same thing!"
"haha, that sounded funny." Applebloom said quietly.
"Wheatly, listen to yourself. You sound insane !" Scootaloo told him.
"Now you think I sound insane? Could an insane person beat. The. Lift. Down. This. Pit? Oh, oops. Wow, dejavu or what?"
My Little Portal 2 - Celestial Science
GLaDOS lay on the floor of her chambers, listening to the screaming of the three mares that were currently falling into a pit.
"This reminds me of the good old days. It was just me, you, and Chell. No insane ponies or magic. That was fun, wasn't it?" And he rambled on for hours! It was driving GLaDOS insane. Not only that, but he's destroying the entire facility! Again! The place was going to explode any minute. She had to do something. Something she would later regret...
"You are going to get us all killed." She told him.
"Says the one who let herself get defeated so easily."
"Say what you like, just do NOT look at Project Equestria." She told him. Reverse psychology. It will wok so easily on this moron.
"Project Equestria eh? Sounds interesting..."
"Please, don't!" I'm going to regret this...
"What kind of trick is this? It's empty!" He hissed.
"I wouldn't say that." There was a bright flash, and they were all gone.

"Okay so I think we need to go through here, and then... The door is locked. Alright, I need to hack it so... Look away."
"Okay, there it is, the portal gun storage room." Wheatly told the three mares. They looked at him. "What?" He asked.
"You want us to go in there. With fifty turrets." Applebloom asked him.
"Well, they are quite expensive... But if you're scared you can still leave." Wheatly said.
"NO!" They said simultaneously.
"SHHHHHHHHH! The turrets can hear.... sort of...."
"Sort of?" Scootaloo asked.
"Yes."
"Care to elaborate?"
"Nope. Now, you can try to sneak behind them, but you will probably be noticed. Maybe use the unicorn as a weapon?"
"You could have just said my name."
"No, because you were rude, like your sister was, and didn't tell me what it is." I only remembered them as the cutie mark catastrophes.
"Oh. Well i'm Sweetiebelle, that's Applebloom, and that's Scootaloo."
"I was being sarcastic."
"Oh."
"So, maybe you can send Scooty in there, and if she flies, the turrets might not see her."
"Quit talking about us in third person!" Applebloom snapped.
"Quit telling me what to do!" Wheatly snapped back.
"Scooty?" Scootaloo asked, not liking the nickname.
"SHUT UP!" Sweetiebelle yelled. Everyone stared at her. "Now I agree that Scootaloo should go, because she doesn't have a family as far as we know."
"What the hay, Sweetie?" Scoots asked.
"Ah also agree." Applebloom said. Scoots glared at her.
"FINE!" She yelled and took to the air. She soared over the turrets, and grabbed a box of portal guns.
"Okay just... BE CAREFUL! You don't wanna know what happened to the last guy who used a broken portal gun" Wheatly told her. She growled, and set the box of portal guns down next to him. "Good! Oh, there's only three."
"What? Well i'm not going back in there." Scootaloo told him.
"Well then... I suppose we just have to do this... DIBS!" Wheatly yelled.
"DIBS!"
"DIBS!"
"Awww!" Sweetie complained.
"Don't worry, Twilight didn't get to use the portal gun either... and if you're anything like Rarity, you wouldn't be aloud to use it anyways." Wheatly told her.
"Now, let's go replace good turrets with crap turrets!" He cheered.
