#manipulation sphere

In celebration of valentines day my amazing friend @lazy-charlie helped me.

Create a bunch of valentines day cards featuring 4 of my many chararters from across my journey as an au creator! Please check her out and support her if you can.

Todays Card Is Manipulation Sphere (Nicknamed Manny) From my Alternate story portal au.

The true master of gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss.

it’s been forever since i’ve done anything at all with the maniplation sphere au so heres some facts about him cause why not!

1: despite being quite diffrent from his corrupted conterpart he’s alot like him full of energy sometimes hums to himself and loves to rant on and on about space he just dosen’t show it much 

2: as wheatley potOS and ch3ll fell down the elevator maniplation sphere gently hummed to himself

3: he’s a great singer and evil songs are the things he’s best at 

4: hates ocean core with a burning passion yet she’s in love with him 

5: While attached to glados he did manage to convince her to make some lady into a core and then kill her human conterpart he also managed to convince her to get rid of him before that lady arived in her test chamber 

6: who was the lady in question? chell she wasn’t always a core acutally portal 1 goes by the same mostly wheatley knew chell was smart enough to beat glados so he made her think of a back up plan just incase she was unable to stop chell she had a robot drag the girl back into apature transfer her mind into a core and kill her human body then had her become a human manger 

7: this ch3ll core dosen’t remember what happened but dose hate glados when she finds wheatley alive she hopes they can take her down together so they both can live on the surface 

8: the first core wheatley found was mani who decided to trick the moran into thinking he was just a normal corrupted core this was his ultimate plan 

9: despite wanting to kill wheatley... he was the first one mani acutally liked he never acutally planned to kill him he just acted like it to act tough he was gonna turn him into an andriod and keep him around as a friend 

context: wheatley is a human and both chell and space are his compainions he puts space into the mainframe since at least he can speak english this verion of space core is a minuplation sphere disguised as a corrupted core sure he still loves space like alot but he isn’t corrupted 

space core looked around him he was now in control of everything oh this is what he wanted

“...space... the final destination... why do we have to go above ground exactly? whats so great about earth? what has earth ever done for us?”

wheatley held onto ch3ll and backed up into the lift confused as it was in the air

wheatley: “what are you going on about mate? we can leave we can live a peaceful life together me you and ch3ll we don’t have to be in apature anymore!”

space core laughs softly to himself his eye changing to red as he growled much like the anger core 

“oh... yes but now that i am in control i can see your the last human around... alive that is... oh i’ve got plans for you my (friend) we are taking apature to SPACE!!! AND THERES NOTHING YOU GLADOS OR THAT STUPID CORRUPTED GPS CORE CAN DO TO STOP ME!!”

glados groaned softly

“...you... you were the reason i changed so much the reason i was able to trick thoes sciantists i know what you are...”

space core closed his eye in a way to show he’s confused 

“excuse me?”

glados spoke clearly

“your not corrupted you make others corrupted! you corrupted me used me! your the real reason everyone is dead at some point even when you were gone... i just went along with it but now i see it’s all been you sure i hated what they did to me but i didn’t hold it against all of them i remember now... you are the real monster”

his eye glowed insanely bright as he turned glados into a potato battery then began to slam her against the lift again and again 

“SHUT UP YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING YOUR THE TRUE MONSTER HERE S-SPACE! IS WHERE WE NEED TO GO THATS RIGHT I AM TAKING THIS WHOLE PLACE TO SPACE!!! I JUST NEED TO GET IT READY”

glados eye flickered 

“...he’s never been the brightest infact i thought he was a monster but nooo... you are”

“I AM NOT A MONSTER!!!”

soon they were sent flying down the lift

“w-wait n-no come back!!”

space core sighed sure he was just using the two but... he had grown to like wheatley sure his ideas were annoying but thats what made him charming he sighed

“OH WELL! I AM SURE I’LL SEE THEM AGAIN SOON! HE’S AN IDIOT BUT... HE CAN BE CLEVER SOME TIMES”

he then went on to convert the whole building into one giant space station and went on ranting about space

“s-space space! we are going space oh my god oh my god i can’t wait eeeee this will be so fun! s-space tests all sorts of space tests oooooh yeees!!!”

“stars stars can’t wait to see it all when i am in space when we are all in space so many space tests planned yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwww!!!!”

disclaimer: my grammer and puncation aren’t the best i do know this i hope this is ok! i am also not the best at writing either wheatley or glados so i did try my best

PotatOS: hmm... corrupted cores we are in luck wait... there only seems to be 2 of them hmm Ch3ll wouldn’t work she was acutally designed to be a joke core so she’s not corrupted if we had one more corrupted core we might be able to corrupt him enough to get another core transfer

wheatley ponders for a moment and rubs his chin 

wheatley: didn’t we pass by that one test chamber flooded with water? i think i saw some sort of core floating inside there it was yelling slurs at us i think

potatOS jolts she then remembered about ocean core

potatOS: for someone with such a low IQ i think your onto something that would be the ocean core and i think i have enough power to be able to drain her chamber luckily i’ll still have enough to take us up to his room and be able to send you corrupt cores 

wheatley groaned gently and sighed softly 

wheatley: thanks...

he then went with potatOS back to the test chamber and plugs her into the wall plug soon enough he saw the test chamber’s water drain from it and soon they heard a large clank in the room they were just in 

sure enough ocean core landed inside the tank with the other 2 corrupted cores and both wheatley and potatOS can faintly hear the song “ocean man” 

potatOS: oh that is right she hates the green one hmm thoes glass pannels are meant to be sound proof but i guess she’s singing so loud we can slightly hear what she’s singing anyway... lets go we’ve got a facilty to take back over 

wheatley then smirked and started to head towards the room they needed to go soon enough he’d be face to face with someone he once called a friend 

wheatley: sounds good love i am sure we can do it!

soon enough they came to the lift to the chamber where “space core” Or rather the maniplation sphere was

potatOS: plug me in i’ll take you up 

soon enough wheatley plugged her into the slot some sparks happened and she started to spin soon enough they started going up 

potatOS: ...look knowing you? you probably still think we are enemies we are at the very least enemies with a common goal REVANGE he tricked us both multiable times maybe even worse then i’ve tricked you before you want it i want it so lets go get some 

soon enough they were almost all the way up wheatley looked at her she was right he did want revanage he didn’t like to be used like that and he was played like a fiddle 

wheatley: ...your right he betrayed me so it’s time he got what he deserved i just can’t wait till this is all over you get your faclity back and i get to leave with Ch3ll 

he gently hugged ch3ll and attached her to his portal gun into a slot she could help him aim better he had a feeling he’d need that soon enough 

potatOS: glad to hear 

and soon enough they reached maniplations chamber things were about to get intense wheatley soon looked up at his old compainion 

intercom: manual core replacement required 

maniplation groaned in pain and soon enough woke up as he sparked he soon heard that message and his eye went back to orange and he turned his head 

maniplation: oh i see...

he chuckled a bit 

intercom: substitute core are you ready to start? 

potatOS: yes come on!

 intercom: corrupted core are you ready to start?

maniplation: oh no i am not... i am not finshed my work 

intercom: stalemate detected...launch into space stopped will return shortly if the corrupted core is not replaced in time due to stalemate 

maniplation: YES! i am so close space! spaceeeeeeee! yeeeeeeeeee hawwwwwww oh come on! 

intercom: stalemate resolution associate please press the stalemate resolution button

potatOS: go press the button go press it!

maniplation: DO NOT PRESS THAT BUTTON! p-please space buddy its me? c-come on?

potatOS: he’s just using you come on press the button 

maniplation: c-come on space buddy i’ll let you live i’ll let you leave look! 

he pulls up the elevator

maniplation: the eleveator to leave you can leave and i can go into space heck you can even take glados! you can take the portal gun c-come on space buddy! 

potatOS: do press the button he’s just using you! 

wheatley didn’t know what todo but... he had to make a choice and he decided to go for glados side sure he had been tricked by her but... not as bad as maniplation tricked him the guy even had the word maniplation as his name 

wheatley: i am sorry buddy but... this is the way it needs to be who knows what you were planning todo might have just killed more people then she ever has 

wheatley sighed gently and shot a portal below maniplation then shot one inside the stalemate room he gulped gently even beganing to cry 

he then pressed the button but soon enough a large explosion happened causing him to be launched into the room near by to maniplation

maniplation: HA I BOOBY TRAPPED THE STALEMATE BUTTON! YOUR STILL ALIVE?! your joking you have to be joking... that should have worked! well i am still i control and i will launch this place into space! 

the count down glitched out and he groaned 

wheatley groaned picking up the portal gun ch3ll was designed for portal guns she had never done this before but she knew... it was the only way she chriped loudly and soon wheatleys portal gun glowed blue 

soon enough out from out of the orange portal came alot of water wheatley began to hold his breath as it filled the chamber soon enough he and maniplation were being pulled in by a maelstrom a form of whirlpool that is very powerful 

he held tightly onto maniplation 

maniplation: LET GO I CAN FIX THIS I CAN DRAIN THE WATER! 

soon enough ocean core was sucked thru giggling loudly 

ocean core: OI THE OCEAN OCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN!!!!!!

gLaDos: i already fixed it and you are not coming back! 

a metal clamp soon grabbed onto wheatley and he was forced to drop maniplation as he was sucked out by the maelstorm 

maniplation: GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB MEEEEEEEEEEEE!

soon enough glados pulled him back in and all the water was drained from the room some fish flopping around and wheatley blacked out after seeing glados head being dragged off and her looking at him 

about an hour later wheatley groaned and slowly got up he saw two robots and they backed up 

glados: oh thank god your alright... you know seeing maniplation taught me a valuable lesson i need to learn to be nicer prehaps so i will try... and i will make sure no human dies at the hands of my tests again 

but being caroline taught me an even greater lesson i thought you were my greatest enemey but all along you were my best friend 

the surge of emotion that shot threw me when i saved your life felt... good something i haven’t felt in a long time but in order for me to move on? she must be gone 

intercom: caroline deleted 

glados: goodbye caroline... 

killing you is hard thats one of the things i’ve learned getting to know you

you know what my days use to be like? i just tested no one tried to murder me or shove me into a potato or fed me to birds i had a pretty good life and then you showed up you dangerous chatterbox lunitx so you know what? just go...don’t come back oh and before i forget 

atlas walked over to the lift and gave wheatley ch3ll along with a repair kit just incase anything happened 

wheatly: oh thank god she’s alright well... um... it’s been fun getting to know you i suppose mate? 

soon enough wheatley began to slowly go into the air thanks to the lift traveling slowly soon enough he stopped in a room and turrets appeared 

wheatley: W-WHAT?! N-NO NO!

the turrets began to sing a little tune instead of shoothing him 

wheatley: well thats something i never thought i’d see... 

the lift went up even more and more soon he was in a massive room and the turrets sang him an amazing song he even seen some turrets he hadn’t seen before a big fat one and a massive turret colored like a large cat but he even noticed a few of maniplations turrets in the place not very many but a few of them 

he heard the song still as the lift kept going soon he saw the lab one last time as he traveled ch3ll made happy bird noises 

as he finally stopped completely at a metal door and the song soon stopped as well 

he breathed in heavily and walked outside now this was the start to a new life 

wheatley: t-this place is amazing! i can’t beleive i am finally on the surface 

he soon heard the door slam shut and turned around to see it but soon it opened again and a frankin cube a little cube wheatley made on his travels shot out looked up at him making weird but happy noises he carefully put ch3ll onto it’s head 

wheatley: well... we’ve got our whole life ahead of us mates lets get started! 

wheatley had been hit with 2 bombs by then he winced in pain causing Ch3ll to make paniced bird noises but he knew he had to stop space... he had to... 

wheatley: i am sorry mate i truely am for not catching you... for not telling you about how well i was the one who beat glados before and well i am just genuinely sorry sincerely

maniplation suddenly stopped moving but still throwing bombs as his eye turned back orange instead of anger mad even the backround growling noises had stopped 

maniplation: s-space? space SPACE! NO... yo... i know you don’t mean that i... you could never mean that... your just gonna end up like all the others... heh...

while he was stracted wheatley shot some portals in the right areas and soon a bomb hit maniplation the core froze up again his eye turning somewhat blue when that happened but he was out for the count for at least a little while 

potatOS: ok great! here comes another core 

rick the adventure core comes into the room thru the rail and looks down at wheatley 

rick: quick whats the situation? oh hey hiya buddy names rick i am an adventure sphere so your out here trying to have a little adventure huh? you fighting that guy?

rick manages to stop himself enough to look at maniplation sphere 

rick: ...i-i... i was once friends with that guy sure i got a little mad about his ranting about space but we were good friends kinda saw him as a little brother never thought he’s acutally do it try and put apature in space but well i know we need to stop him so uh do what you need todo buddy 

soon enough wheatley made his way up to rick and picked him up he then bonced back down and back up and attached him to maniplation 

note from monnie: 2 of these will be uplouded perday here is part 2 please enjoy!

*maniplation sphere soon looked down at wheatley as he came up from the lift*

maniplation: Well Well Well welcome to the revealing of my plans! and my lair to an extent NOW THAT YOUR HERE I CAN FINALLY BEGAN! you see i stopped apature from exploding and such Ba ba ba baa ba ba ba space! ahem sorry about that anyway what are my plans exactly? 

well you see that control panel lit up there? well acording to my calculations we that count down is how long till we began blasting out from under the ground and then get this INTO SPACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! hehehehe i love space whats your faverite thing about space? mine is space! oh i can’t wait! 

but sadly... you won’t be joining us wheatley once your dead glados or potatOS now ha ha ha see what i did there? will be placed into a trophie case and then once we are leaving earth you’ll be ejected out of the building well your corpse will be gotta say... i’ll miss you but hey you’ll finally be free in a way! 

also i took the liberty of watching the tapes of you killing her and well i am not gonna make the same mistakes 

*he chuckled gently to himself and giggled about space but then got back into his serious mode*

my four part plan is this! one no portal surfaces two start the neurotoxin immeditately bomb proof sheilds for me and that leads to part four bombs for throwing at you 

you know what i’ll give you a good chance since we were once friends i’ll turn of the neurotoxin but in return my new planet grenade turret will also be summoned to help me blow up you but unlike that rocket turret these won’t just explode on impact 

and i am sorry to say this old friend but... goodbye wheatley it was nice knowing you 

*soon the new planet grenade turret comes out of a pannel on the ground and starts shooting grenades at wheatley along with bombs from above*

intercom voice: PREPARING FOR LAUNCH TIME TILL LUNCH 7 MINUTES 

*wheatley begans to run away soon thanks to Ch3ll notices a tube with  Conversion Gel inside he then runs behind it*

maniplation: where are you going? don’t run it makes this harder for us both! come on i promice let yourself be exploded it will be quick not painless but quick! 

*soon enough one of the bombs blows up the gel container getting it all over the room meaning portal surfaces* 

wheatley: H-HAVE A TASTE OF THAT WHITE STICKY GEL MATE.... oh that sounded so much better in my head ech... now i feel nasty for just saying that bloody hell 

maniplation: no! ahhh no! don’t!... oh jesus hell... oh maybe your not a mouron after all but not like you could hit me! 

*soon enough wheatley shoots a blue portal at the ground one above maniplation and made him shoot a bomb right at himself damaging him enough to make him black out*

potatOS: good work i delivered the first core over on the cat walk grab it and attach it to him! 

*wheatly shot a portal up to the cat walk and soon grabed the first core that core being ocean core* 

ocean core: OI YOU BLOODY HOE GET THOES FUKEN HANDS AWAY FROM ME MATE I SWEAR ON ME MOM I WILL REK YU LETS GO TO THE OCEAN LAND LOVER GOD I LOVE ME THE OCEAN THE OCEAN IS GREAT AINT IT? MUST ADMIT BLUE EYES ARE ME FAVRITE CAUSE THEY REMIND ME OF THE WATER! AND THE WATER REMINDS ME OF THE SEA! 

HEHEHEHEH OCEAN OCEAN OCEAN SEA CREATURES CRAKEN AND ALL THAT JAZZ!

*she soon started to sing ocean man out of anger of being touched by a human*

*Wheatley sighed heavily but jumped down as the cat walk suddenly broke apart some Repulsion Gel fell out of another tube and he bonced up and placed her onto maniplation*

*ocean core soon stopped complaining her eye changing from aqua to pink*

ocean core: oooh now this is what i am talking about why hello their big fella 

*wheatly soon jumped down and groaned seeing her suddenly become lovey dovey for the maniplation sphere he then looked up soon enough he came back online*

Intercom voice: warning core corruption at 50% vent system compromized oxgyen will be offline in four minutes launch into space will began in 4 minutes 30 seconds 

*soon enough they even heard the sounds of several rockets beganing to come to life and the building shaking showing it was being taken out of the ground*

*after that happened maniplation came back online and his planet grenade turret went into the ground the corrupted core made one of it’s grenades blow itself up*

maniplation: w-wah.... what happened? hehehe are we in space yet? oh god i hope so! wait... oh no but soon we will be! w-what have you put onto me? what is that? hold on oh come on my turret is destoryed! that was the prototype too! ech... oh no my bombs are stuck on as well! this isn’t going space tastic so far
