Portal Tales- Zero

Chapter Three: Trash

     The three took the rusted elevator up,up and up to a newer looking floor. The bots and Zero walked out of the elevator room and into the testing room, as they did a voice spoke out of the loudspeakers. A cold, monotone, voice. However, Zero recognized it...but where?
    "Ahh, Blue, Orange, I was beginning to question you two weather if you will make it our or not. . . Who, is that?" The chilling voice echoed off the plain white walls of the testing room. Zero shuddered a little and peered at the cameras, unsure which one to look at.
     "Well, that's what I was hoping for. I'm not sure who I am, but I decided to call myself Zero for now. I was asleep in this tube thingy and I don't know what's really going on. . ." Zero kind of backed up. "Hello?" Suddenly Zero was sucked backwards, and her new friends were sucked out in different directions. Zero was sent left, right, up, down, and all sorts of directions as she traveled through some sort of air tube. She started to smile and laugh a little, it was fun, for a little while until a large claw reached out and whisked her away right out of the tube. The claw had her around the waist and slid along a rail.
     "HEY! HEY!" She wriggled and squirmed in the claws grip, soon it slid her through a door and continued to grip her tightly. Then she arrived in a large circular room, with some sort of..... robot thing that stared at her with one yellow optic. She hummed and turned Zero over, upside down, by her arm, and by her leg. The robot sat her down.
   "Not fat like the other subject, weaker looking. Dull. Definitely way duller." The robot nodded.
     Zero looked puzzled, "what?"
     "Oh, you must be soooo confused. My name is GLaDOS. It is an acronym. Anyway, I am surprised. You can talk. The other test subject that I let to leave this place didn't, maybe she was too stupid. But you seem smarter,"GLaDOS said in her chilling, dull, but soft voice. Zero looked at GLaDOS a little confused.
     "But," she started. "I can do away with human trash." Zero's eyes widened.
      "W-wha-?" Zero started, then the floor under her gave away. The only thing she saw before the hatch closed, leaving her to fall in the inky black, was that darn robot's face. Then the hatch closed.
               ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     "Hmm, she's definitely gorgeous I must say." A deeper, more hummy voice echoed in Zero's ear.
     "Gee wiz she sure can take a fall!" A frill, quirky voice spoke up.
     "Sh- she's waking up!" A third spoke up.
     "I wonder if she is okay," a high pitched female voice said.
     "Fact: if the vegetation wasn't here, her spine would've been broken." Another chimed.
     Zero's eyes opened to see four, sphere bot things surrounding her. She was in a sunny room, full of vines , dripping water, and overran by vegetation. Looked like an office room, used to be. Zero blinked and rubbed her head gingerly, one core had a bright blue optic and was kinda twitchy, another had a dull orange optic, the one on her left had a rainbow optic and the one by him had a cracked orange optic and was also orange with a floral design on him, on her right was a sphere with a bright purple optic. The spheres were on some sort of rail thing on the ceiling around Zero. Zero felt something cold on her temple, she touched it, and looked at her hand and saw it was blood.
     "Mm, good morning gorgeous. How are you feeling?" The rainbow sphere said.
     "I think I'm injured, but I feel fine. For the meantime," Zero said.
     "My name is Rainbow, that's Curiosity over there, the cutie" Rainbow said and gestured to her. The female orange core giggled shyly.
     "Mm, that's Virgil the other orange core with the flower design." Rainbow said.
     "Hello," Virgil nodded to her. Zero waved slightly.
     "Fact: I am the Fact core, and I am very handsome." Fact said in a matter-of-fact way.
     "Gee wiz! It's nice ta meet ya, I'm Ray, he heh." Ray rocked on his rail a little and cackled a awkward laugh.
    "I'm Zero... nice to meet you all." She look at the four cores and staggered onto her feet and sighed. . . Trash, Zero thought. Human trash.
