- >You had no idea how long you were floating in that black void.
- >As black as it was though, you could see your whole body.
- >You just shifted through this blackened space for what seemed for eternity.
- >FUCK YEAH
- >You were alive! You survived that fucking gas.
- >Alpha-male.
- >Yet...you didn't know where you were. Alive but for what reason?
- >You held your gun up.
- >Not any gun. An Aperture Black Hol- Portal Gun.
- >The fun you had with this thing...at least for the first two tests.
- >Then you uhh...
- >Shot that gas pipe...
- >Deadly gas...
- >Yeah.
- >All that counts is that you were alive and intact.
- >But the question that holds...how will you escape?
- >You answer that question with the best answer possible.
- >A long drawn out sigh.
- >You didn't even know how you got here, besides the that odd portal.
- "FUCK."
- >It echoed the vast emptiness of the room.
- >This was worse than death in some ways.
- >Would you rather a quick death, or a slow one.
- >You remember why you ended up here, why you tested that gun.
- >You had nothing to lose. Why did you not want the money?
- >Because you were tired of life. You could have at least enjoyed poverty with a motherfucking Portal Gun.
- >But now you ruined the facility. The Portal Guns would never be found again.
- >That means...
- >Last portal gun here motherfucker!
- >Aw shit, and you were going to die with it.
- >Now you HAD to find a way out.
- >You took a second to think about it.
- >You know without the portal gun you wouldn't have been here.
- >Oh gee thanks brain. I did not know that.
- >Now how to fix the portal gun.
- >You fixed things back home occasionally. Mostly the tv but still.
- >And how did you fix the tv? With a very hard smack on the top.
- >You glance at your portal gun.
- "Sorry buddy."
- >You lower your left hand and smack the surface of the gun.
- >It takes a second, but the gun comes right back to life.
- >Except you can't move the switch for color.
- >Well again, you were going to die if you didn't try.
- >You fire at the empty void ahead.
- >A large white portal appeared.
- >FREEDOM?
- >FREEDOM.
- >You try and rush towards it, but it's kind of hard to floating and all.
- >You slowly approached the white portal, unable to see through the other side.
- >You shouldn't go in.
- >But this was your only shot.
- >But it looks dangerous.
- >Fuck you brain, I do what I want.
- >You break on through to the other side.
- (Feel free to play The Doors right now.)
- >Instantly, you feel the restoration of gravity.
- >Should that be a bad or good thing, you know not.
- >You look down.
- >It was a bad thing.
- >You are in the air, soaring like you just don't care.
- >Minus the soaring because you were fucking falling.
- >And to top that off, the gun shut off once more.
- >fuckmylife.avi
- >Told you it was a bad idea.
- >Fuck you Brain.
- >Fuck you too man.
- >CAUSE I'M FREEEEEEEE
- >FREE FALLING
- >You accepted death at this point.
- >Something in the distance begins to take shape...
- >Wings...yellow?
- >Can't tell what it is from this far away. All you can tell is that it's coming towards you.
- >Quickly.
- >Well fuck you might as well get saved.
- >The yellow blur of speed was barreling towards you.
- >You glance down.
- >It was getting pretty close, you might not mak-
- >WAIT A FUCKING SECOND
- >You look down again.
- >Your shoes. Boots, rather.
- >And you almost forgot that you were invincible to fall damage.
- >The yellow...thing is rapidly approaching.
- >You have an idea, but it's kind of cruel if it works.
- >The blur is just about to catch you, when you scream for no reason.
- "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH"
- >The blur stops, dazed and confused.
- >You're falling too fast to figure out what the damned thing was.
- >Whatever, planned success.
- >HERE COMES THE GROUND,
- >LET ME HEAR THE SOUND.
- >MY BOOTS OF INVINCIBILITY,
- >WILL BE MY LIABILITY.
- >Canthandletheserhymes.jpg
- >And with that you land unscathed.
- >You finally get a moment to gather your thoughts and surroundings.
- >Looks...quaint.
- >On the boundaries of some sort of forest, no civilization in view. You expect something though.
- >As long as there was something coming to catch you (at least you thought) there was some form of life.
- >Suddenly, not too far away, you hear crying.
- >Well I guess there is life.
- >You head in the direction of the sound.
- >You creep around a couple trees to see some sort of...
- >Horse! With...wings?
- >Pegasus, that's it. Interesting.
- >Aperture tried doing something like this once.
- >I believe it became an enemy in a Final Fantasy game.
- >Oh well this isn't a game...at least you think.
- >Did this exist?
- >That's not too important at this very moment. You kneel beside the pegasus.
- >"I couldn't *sniff* save him....*sob*" shit she looks depressed.
- >Wait, couldn't save...me?
- >Wait a fucking minute it talks? That's something else.
- >Priority right now was to calm this yellow and pink pegasus.
- "Erm...it's okay?" smooth.
- >She jumps 5 feet into the the air, flew into a bush then looks back out.
- >Real good one.
- >Oh brain welcome back.
- >She slowly creeps out of the bush.
- >"You...you can walk?" she seems baffled.
- >A smile emerges on your face.
- "I can do a lot of things."
- >A smile comes to her face as well.
- >Success!
- >"Wow! How did you survive that fall? I have a friend who would love to know!" she seems excited.
- >You ponder telling her about the boots.
- "I guess I just landed correctly. I don't have invincible bones or anything."
- >She squees. D'AWWWW
- >"Do yo- do you mind coming back to my cottage for awhile? I'd love to learn all about you."
- >Seems harmless enough.
- "And what is your name?"
- >"My name is Fluttershy."
- "Aperture Anonymous at your service. Or at least, just Anon is fine."
- >"Alright Anon. Let's get walking shall we?"
- >Walking is for chumps without
- >THE PORTAL GUN
- >Oh shit did it-
- >You flick the machine on. It begins to run just like before.
- >Fuckyeah.png
- >You look around.
- "But Fluttershy..." you begin.
- >"Yes A-Anon?"
- "How far away is this cottage of yours?"
- >You glance up and see a gathering of clouds far off in the distance.
- >"Oh! Not too long of a walk. Maybe...30 minutes? I'm a little far from home. It's over...there!" she points towards where the clouds are.
- >30 minutes? That's far too long.
- >You glance around. You see a white wall of rocks to your left.
- >You line up a shot.
- >"A-Anon, what are y-you..." shes shuddering.
- "Don't worry Fluttershy, it's harmless."
- >You fire your blue portal at the wall of rocks.
- >You look back to the clouds in the distance.
- >If you could just...
- >You fire an orange portal.
- >...get the right...
- >You fire again.
- >...angle...
- >You fire with vigor.
- >You hear that sound, and you know you got it.
- "Hey Fluttershy? Can you come here for a second?
- >"S-sure." she walks over.
- "What would you say about getting to your home within about 10 seconds?"
- >"Th-that's impossible unless you were fast like Rainbow Dash..." she trails off.
- "I can do it. Just trust me this one time?"
- >She looks at you for a few moments.
- >"O-okay I guess. As long as it's safe."
- >You pick her up and cradle her like a baby.
- >She lets out a resounding 'eep'.
- >It was cute.
- >No time for cute.
- >What Brain?
- >NO TIME FOR CUTE
- >WHY?
- >IT'S TIME FOR SCIENCE!
- >You run at the portal, and jump through.
- >You were not as high as before, but falling like usual.
- >Fluttershy was scared.
- >Y'know, for someone that fast and high, you think she wouldn't be.
- >She's screaming, but it's not loud.
- >You occasionally glance down, seeing the distance.
- >When you got close, you braced Fluttershy in a hug like fashion.
- >Boom, with a 10/10 landing you hit the ground.
- >You let Fluttershy down gently.
- >"O-O-oh my. We made it..." shes still a bit shaken up.
- >Well yeah, that's what the power of Aper-
- >You are cut off by being tackled into the ground.
- >You shake your head and look at the attacker.
- >A rainbow-maned pony, with a blue body. Wings detected.
- >"HOW DID YOU DO THAT?" she asks with an air of excitement.
- >"Oh! Rainbow Dash! T-this is An-"
- >"It's okay Fluttershy, I was watching you two the whole time."
- >Wait...she didn't come through the portal.
- "You must be the fast one, correct?"
- >"B-but not as fast as you got here! It's like you said..."
- >You look confused.
- "Erm Rainbow was it?"
- >She looks at you.
- "What DID I say again?"
- >"Y-you said you'd get all the way here in-"
- >You remember.
- >You pop a shit-eating grin.
- "Ten Seconds Flat."
