Phantom Fan 21: Okay, this is a first for me. I'm going to tired to write a survival horror crossover with Bendy and the Ink Machine. Please note I never play the game. I usually stay away from Horror stuff. I have read other peoples story about it and got somewhat of an idea. I watch one of the walkthroughs of the fours chapters and going to try my luck. Crossover with Danny Phantom with a few twist.
Danny didn't understand, his parents got a letter from some place call Joey Drew Studios. Sadly his parents was out of town and he couldn't send the letter back because there was no return address which made him more confuse. Normally he was asked Tucker and Sam to join him, but they left town for some reason and didn't even tell him. The only person he could asked was his sister Jazz, who was tasked of watching over him.
Jazz was just confuse as Danny. She look up the name and learn it was a real studio that use to run a show call Bendy the Dancing Demon. From what she learn, the cartoon was about a mischievous but playful demon name Bendy, a friendly Wolf name Boris and a fallen singing and dancing angel name Alice Angel. Then it shut down years ago and no one knew why. Now the studio was inviting fans of the show to come see the grand reopening of the studio.
Both Danny and Jazz had reach the Studio and notices there was no one there and the place look boarded up. They enter the studio and notices it was a mess, with little power on, some posters on the walls showing Bendy and some of his adventures. The two look around before seeing a project running.
"This place seen better days." Jazz said looking at some of the cobwebs.
"Yeah, if they are hold the reopening they should get this place fix up." Danny agree.
As Danny and Jazz look around, they didn't notice that two other brings was in the room with them. One of the was getting excited, but the other stop it from getting too excited, remind it that they can't see them. They walk down one of the halls and found a lonely desk that had a cutout in the shape of Bendy. They look at the desk to see another picture of Bendy only with his head and a different mouth with the world no next to it.
"Wow, someone didn't like this idea." Danny said.
Jazz shrug and turn around to find another room with more desks in it. They explore it for a bit before leaving the room. They went back through the main room and into a another hallway until they saw some writing on the wall.
"Dreams Come True..."
"Well, that is a bit true." Danny said.
"Come on Danny. Nothing we can do about this." Jazz said and walk away.
"You know, should there be someone here? I mean, we should have met somebody by now." Danny brought up as they walk through the hall.
"You're right Danny. This place is quite empty and it looks like this place hasn't been kept clean in years." Jazz agree.
"If they let this place get so bad, why have a reopening...Whoa!" Danny was cut off when they enter another and notice a huge room with a balcony and a large pit that was cover in darkness.
"What's down there?" Danny asked leaning over the balcony a little.
"Not sure, but I think I found the controls." Jazz said trying to work them.
Jazz could felt someone tap her shoulder and turn to look finding no one there. She did notices that the controls were missing it batteries. She found some batteries on a nearby self and installed them. After that Jazz started up the controls and pull the level down. The chains started to move and made a huge machine appear. Both Danny and Jazz stare at it with awe.
"What is that?" Danny asked.
"I have no idea..." Jazz started to say before hearing the name of the machine.
"Ink Machine?" She asked turn to find out who was talking to her only to once again find no one there.
"Okay who doing that?!" Jazz asked out loud.
"Doing what?" Danny asked confuse.
"I could have sworn..."Jazz said before sighing.
"No never mind." She quickly said dismissing the thought.
"Okay? So how do we start this thing?" Danny asked.
"What?" Jazz asked.
"Come on Jazz, we might as well see what it does. We gotten this far." Danny said with smile.
"Fine, I don't see a way to started up from here, might as well look around some more." Jazz said sighing again.
They both left the room and notices one of the hallways they pass. They enter and saw more of the posters of Bendy and his adventures.
"Man, Dad would love this place. After all he use to watch it when he was kid. He still has the old records of the show." Danny said.
Jazz was about to stay something when a sudden thump make them jump a little. They both turn and saw a board on the ground a few feet in front of them. They both sigh in relief, before Danny smirk.
"What the matter Jazz? You scare?" Danny tease.
"As if! Still we better be careful. With how old this place is I'm sure more stuff is falling about." Jazz said.
Danny nodded and the two follow the hallway towards the right and found a room with a large switch and six pedestals on the side walls. Behind each pedestal was a famed picture with different pictures of items on them. Danny notices the switch on the wall in between the pedestals and turn it on, but nothing happen.
"Odd? I thought it would do something?" Danny asked confuse.
Jazz was studying the pedestals and notices the cables moving into the walls. She stood up and look at the pictures.
"I think we missing something." Danny spoke breaking her from her thoughts.
"Well, better look around some more." Danny smile and started to walk away.
"Danny..." Jazz sigh.
Sometimes Danny act younger then his age.
"AHHHHHH!"
"DANNY!" Jazz shouted hearing his scream.
Jazz ran out the room and notices Danny was trying to catch his breath. She run up to him and place her hand on his shoulder.
"You ok?" She asked.
"Yeah, I was startled." Danny said nodding to what was in front of him.
Jazz look and was shock to see a Bendy cut out standing in the middle of the hallway.
"That wasn't here before." Jazz said.
"Yeah, I give the guy who did this little prank some points. I really didn't see this coming." Danny said smiling.
"You only would think this is a prank little brother." Jazz smirk and walk pass the cut out.
Danny just huff and follow after her. They started head back to the main room when Danny spotted a old tape recorder.
"Hey Jazz, look at this." He call his sister over.
Jazz walk up and notices the recorder.
"Nice find Danny, maybe we can get some ideas here." Jazz said and press play.
"At this point, I don't get what Joey's plan is for this company. The animations sure aren't being finished on time anymore, and I certainly don't see why we need this machine. It's noisy, it's messy, and who needs that much ink anyway? Also, get this, Joey had each one of us donate something from our workstations. We put them on these little pedestals in the break room. To help appease the gods, Joey says. Keep things going. I think he's lost his mind, but, hey, he writes the checks. But I tell you what, if one more of these pipes burst, I'm outta here."
"Okay?" Danny said confuse.
"Well at least we have a idea for what to do with the six pedestals." Jazz said.
Danny place the tape recorder down and thought about it.
"I thought I saw a ink bottle back in the animations room." He said.
Jazz nodding and they went back to the said room. Jazz found the ink bottle and Danny was looking at the draw of Bendy.
"Was this picture like that? I could have sworn he was in a different position the first time we were here." He said.
"Come on Danny, I got the bottle." Jazz said not listening to his rant.
Danny sigh and follow after Jazz. It wasn't long before the found more of the items. They found a Bendy plushy in the theater room, which Danny comment that their dad would love as his use to have a whole bunch of Bendy Plushies, they found he book in the break room, where Danny challenge Jazz to a quick game of darts which ended in a tie, they found the gear in the ink machine room, and they wasn't sure but it was sounding like something was moving inside the machine, they move on. They then found the record in one of the office which Danny decide to act like a DJ with the record on his finger. Until Jazz took it away from him.
"Okay, we got the Bottle, the plushy, the book, the gear, and the record. What are we missing?" Jazz said going through the list.
"The wrench. Let's hope we don't get a monkey thrown into our plans." Danny smile.
Jazz facepalm herself. She couldn't understand why Danny was joking about this. That didn't mean she didn't find this little quest fun in her own way. They walk back to where the found the Bedny cut out, but was shock it was gone.
"What in the...?" Jazz asked shock.
"Where did it go?" Danny said seeing no trace of it being move.
"We'll worry about the silly cut out later. Let's find that wrench and start up the machine." Jazz said.
Danny remain where he was as Jazz walk ahead. Danny couldn't figure out how it just disappear with no trace.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
"JAZZ!" Danny shouted and ran toward where he heard his sister.
Once he got there he was shock on what made Jazz scream. There, in front of them, what appear to be a corpse of a cartoon wolf. It head was leaning to the side with eyes 'X' out like you see in cartoons where the character was dead. But what really got them was it chest was cut open and it ribs were also open and was bleeding black like blood. Jazz and Danny just stare at it until Danny turn to her.
"Wow, Jazz you got scare by some halloween prank." Danny tease again.
"Shut up! What make you think this is a halloween prank? It not even close to being real." Jazz said, her face turning red in embarrassment.
Danny just smirk and notices the wrench inside it chest. Danny reach over and pull it out hearing a squishy sound as he did.
"What that everything. Let's go scaredy cat." Danny said and walk pass her.
Jazz just look back at the corpse before what Danny said click in her mind.
"I am not a scaredy cat!" She shouted and ran after him.
As Jazz ran out, the two beings what were following them floated near the corpse and bow their head in respect.
Jazz catch up with Danny seeing that he had started placing the item on the pedestals. Jazz just sigh and place the items she had on the pedestals as well. Each one made click sound but that was it.
"We're missing something again." Danny said after trying the switch again
"Maybe we need to get the ink flowing. I thought I saw a switch back in the theater room." Jazz said.
"Okay." Danny said and they started to walk back there.
The stop near the hallway that lead to the corpse before moving on. It didn't take them long to reach the hallway that lead to the theater room, but was surprise when a Bendy cut out peek from behind the corner and pull back.
"Alright that it!" Jazz shouted getting annoy by whoever was trying to scare them.
By the time she reach where the cut out was, it was leaning against the wall and there was a puddle ink next to it. Danny caught up to her just as a project turn on by itself and show Bendy dancing and a whistle was heard.
"Okay, this is started to get freaky." Danny said.
"For once I agree." Jazz said.
Still the siblings found the switch and turn it on. Then one of the pipes bust and the whole floor was cover in ink.
"Well, I know why that guy was complaining about bust pipes." Danny said.
"Yuck! It going to take forever to clean my shoes." Jazz added.
"Well, let started up the machine and then get outta here." Danny said, he had seen enough of this place and was ready to go home.
Jazz nodded and they travel back to the pedestal room and threw the switch. They heard some machines start up and some lights turn on but was that it.
"I was hoping for something more." Danny said.
"Well, let's go check out the Ink Machine and get outta here." Jazz said, she too was getting tired of this place and wanted to go home.
They both walk back to the Ink Machine room and the two beings following them was started to become uneasy.
"What the?" Jazz asked shock.
"When did this happen?" Danny added.
The way to the Ink Machine was boarded up, like it was trying to keep someone out, or something in.
"How can anymore get this boarded up without making any noise?" Jazz asked.
"And are those footprints?" Danny added seeing the footprints lead away from the room.
They both decide to to get closer to check if anyone was inside. Just as they got close, something reach out to try and grab them. Both Danny and Jazz scream and fell back. The creature they saw look like Bendy, but was too tall and it grin didn't have a playfulness they the mostly see. The creature appear to sink away, but it was enough for Danny and Jazz to started running. As they ran, the building started to shake and gallons of ink started to fool the area. As Danny and Jazz contine run, they felt the aura of the creature coming after them. They ran and ran until the saw the exit.
"There it is!" Jazz shouted and they bolted towards it.
Just when it look like they were homefree, the floor under their feet collapsed and they fell screaming. They fell for what felt like hours before landing in a room full of ink. They submerge under it and the two being floated close and got really worry.
"This is bad! We have to do something!" One of the beings said.
"If they don't drown, the ink will corrupt them." The other said.
"If only we could warn them about that machine..." The first spoke before second got a thought.
"Bendy, I have a idea how we can help." It said.
"Really? How Alice?" The being name Bendy asked.
"We have to combine with them." The being name Alice answer.
"What?! Alice don't know what happens if we do that!" Bendy asked shock.
"We have no time for another idea. If we don't help them, then they become monsters like everyone else here!" Alice told him.
Bendy didn't like the idea, sure he was all for pranks and some good fun, but could they really combine with people not from their world. Still those two give him some hope. After all, he could tell the two were close.
"Okay, I got the boy." Bendy said.
"I got the girl." Alice agree and they both drive into the ink.
For few seconds nothing appear to happen before two hand bust out of the ink and Danny and Jazz had pull themself out and started to stand.
"Danny are you okay?" Jazz asked.
"Yeah, but what happen? One minute I was all cold then the next I felt something protect me some from something try to get in my mind." Danny said.
"Really? I felt the same thing." Jazz said.
The two look around and notices the ink was just up to Danny's neck. Jazz spotted a pipe with a wheel that she move over to and drain it. Once the ink was gone, Danny and Jazz notices their clothes were different. Danny's shirt had turn fully turn black, with the white bow tie, pants and shoes were also black. Jazz's shirt had change to a flapper dress with a short skirt and a white bow tie around her bust line. Her pants are replace with a pair of socklings and her shoes had turn black.
"What happen to us?" Danny asked.
"And why am I wearing socklings?!" Jazz shouted outrage.
Danny try to answer, but notices another tape recorder ona near by self. He walk over and press play.
"It's dark and it's cold and it's stuck in behind every single wall now. In some places, I swear this godforsaken ink is clear up to my knees! Who ever thought that these crummy pipes could hold up under this kind of strain either knows something about pressure I don't, or he's some kind of idiot. But the real worst part about all this.. are them noises the system makes. Like a dying dog on its last legs. Make no mistake, this place... this... machine... heck, this whole darn thing... it just isn't natural. You can bet, I won't be doing any more repair jobs for Mister Joey Drew."
"Well, that wasn't helpful." Danny said.
"Who was that?" Jazz asked.
"That was Thomas Connor, he was one of the worker here." They heard.
They both turn and saw Bendy and Alice looking like they did in some of the posters. Bendy turn and grin at them. Alice smack him upside the head.
"I thought we agree to take this slow." She said glaring at him.
"Hey, she asked and I answer. What's wrong with that?" Bendy asked.
"Hold on aren't you two cartoons characters?" Jazz asked.
"Yeah, we are. Before you asked, you have heard imagination comes life right?" Bendy answer.
"True, but how?" Jazz asked next.
"Truth be told, we have no idea how we came to the real world. We took notices of people outside of are world and found a way there. We wanted to talk to them spend some time with the people that work on the show for so long. Sadly we discover they couldn't see us. But we still visit and did what we could to help them." Alice explain.
"But there was one person we like the most out of everyone that work here. Our Creator, Henry. He always a swell guy. Sometimes we think he can hear us because we talk about some ideas for the show and then he works on them. Me, Alice and our friend Boris love what he did and we could tell we made him proud when we follow the show like plan." Bendy smile thinking about Henry.
"Sadly, it didn't last long. He and his former friend Joey Drew, the owner of the this place, had a fall out. Henry quit and left. We try to follow him, but we couldn't leave. We soon found out that Joey had stolen the rights about us, forcing us to follow his ideas instead. For the past 30 years we follow Joey ideas unable to leave or turn against him. We started to spend more time in our own world then in this one, because it wasn't the same without Henry here." Alice added sadly.
"Once the studio shut down. Some of the workers went missing. So for the first time in 30 years, we left our world to find out what happen. That went we notices you two enter the studio. I was really happy to heard that the studio was going to be reopening. But once you two started to explore and notices there were no people. I started to get worry." Bendy said.
"Bendy here thought it was a wise idea to help you rise up the Ink Machine. After told him that it was a bad idea!" Alice said.
"Come on Alice, I thought they were here to see it. I didn't think they were going to started it." Bendy protested.
"Wait what about that creature? The thing that looks like you?" Danny asked.
"Please that not me. I way more handsome than that." Bendy said.
"Yeah, much more playful too." Danny agree.
"And a Prankster." Bendy added with a smile.
"But most of all..." Danny said.
"Much friendlier than that ugly mug he calls a face!" Danny and Bendy laugh.
Jazz and Alice facepalm themselves. Great there two of them was the thought that was in their minds.
"Ok you two, how about we get outta here?" Jazz spoke up.
"Are you sure Jazz? I mean we are dress differently then when we enter." Danny asked.
Jazz was quite, she really didn't want to go out with socklings on, but maybe they can get out call the police and go home and change.
"Yes Danny, I'm sure. We have no idea what that thing is and we have no chance against it." Jazz said.
"But what about Bendy and Alice? We can't leave them here with that thing." Danny asked again.
"It alright, you guys need to get out of here. Then we'll fall back into our world." Alice said.
"Or, we could find the rights about you guys and give them back to Henry!" Danny pipe up.
"Danny!" Jazz yelled.
"Wait you'll do that for us?" Bendy asked.
"Yeah, you two have live here long enough. Plus I'm sure Henry would be happy make the shows the way you want it to be." Danny smile.
"But we don't know anything about this place! Look Danny I feel bad for them too, but with that thing up there, we don't have time." Jazz said.
"But Jazz..." Danny started to say.
"No buts! We're leaving and that's final!" Jazz yelled.
"It okay Danny. Your safety is more important then finding our rights." Alice said.
Danny sigh and nodded. He still felt that they should try. Still he and Jazz left the room and had to drain more ink a few times before reach a room that had some writing on the wall.
"The Creator lie to us."
"Okay, no way are they talking about Henry. I mean you made create you two but that doesn't mean he lie about things." Danny said a bit confuse.
"We don't even know who "The Creator" is. We thought it was about Henry, but he hasn't been back here in 30 years." Bendy said thinking about it.
"It doesn't matter. We don't let that stuff bother us." Alice added.
Jazz had look over to the desk close by and saw something they could use.
"These will come handy." She said picking up a ax and giving the other one to Danny.
"You sure Jazz?" Danny asked taken it.
"We don't know if that thing is come so we better be arm just in case." Jazz explain.
Danny nods and the two started to cut away the boards blocking the doorway. They follow the hallway and come to a door that was boarded up, but cut the boards with their axes and open it. One the look inside, Danny and Jazz was shock. Inside the room was a pentagram on the floor and some coffins up against wall nearby.
"What the...?" Danny asked shock.
"That's odd. This wasn't down here before." Bendy said looking at it.
"This isn't real is it?" Alice asked.
"Let's not stick around to find out." Jazz said seeing another door on the other side.
They walk into the room and started to go around the pentagram when the room started to shake. Both Danny and Jazz try to kept their balance but they step in the pentagram. They were bomb with images of the Ink Machine, a wheelchair, and Inked Bendy. It was too much and they drop their axes and pass out. Bendy and Alice, who were floated the room shook, notices the two humans that they save fell to the ground.
"Danny! Jazz!" Alice call out in worry.
Bendy floated over to them and saw their were still breathing.
"They're asleep." Bendy said making Alice sigh in relief.
"Alice, we need to tell them." Bendy said his usually grin was now a frown.
"Bendy we are only going to get them out of here. There no need." Alice said.
"Yes there is! Danny might have cave in to Jazz but I won't! They need to know we turn them into Cartoon Humans hybrids!" Bendy told her.
"Only until we get them to safely. Once the leave, they'll turn back to normal." Alice said.
"We don't even know if that true! What if they become stuck here too! I might have use my ink to save Danny, but I can feel my ink bonding with him." Bendy told her.
"What?" Alice asked shock.
"I know you can felt it too! From what I can tell, some of that imposter ink got to them! They are slowly turn into ink people!" Bendy yelled.
"No, they can't be." Alice said now worry again.
"Look Alice, let's just focus on helping them right now. We need to make sure they stay away from that imposter at all cost." Bendy said.
Alice nodded before they felt some dangerous head to the room. In fact both Bendy and Alice could feel the ink inside the two humans acting up.
"Oh no. He's coming!" Bendy yelled now also worry.
"Bendy we need to hide them." Alice said, cleary scare for them.
"But how...Wait a minute!" Bendy started to asked before getting an idea.
"What?" Alice asked before Bendy floated over to hallway.
"Time for some pranking fun!" He said and pull out some of his home made bombs.
"Bendy! You know we can't use those here! This world is not like ours!" Alice said knowing what Bendy was planing.
"Would you rather let that imposter get them?" Bendy asked making Alice go silence.
"Yeah that what I thought." Bendy said and place his cartoon bombs all over the hallway. He just reach the door after planting the last bomb when he saw his imposter walk around the corner and notices Danny and Jazz laying on the ground.
"Sorry pal, you not getting them today. In fact you not getting them at all!" Bendy said and pull out his remote.
Inked Bendy started to run, hoping to reach the door, but Cartoon Bendy press the button and the bomb explode in a cartoon fashion, even having the words "BOOM!" show up. The walls had collapse, blocking Inked Bendy's path. It let out a growl before turning around, looking for another way. Cartoon Bendy smile and turn to Alice, who once again, smack him upside the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" Bendy asked
"You could have brought the whole place down on us!" Alice yell!
"But I didn't. Plus Danny and Jazz are still safe." Bendy pointed out.
Alice just sigh and floated over to Jazz and land next to her. Alice let herself grown to the size of an adult and move her out of the pentagram before placing her head in her lap. Bedny floated over and did the same with Danny, but lean him on the wall instead putting his head in his lap. Bendy heard Alice hum her theme song but it was slower and more angelic. Jazz appear to relax a it more and Bendy look over to Danny and saw he too was relaxing. He sat next to him and they waited for the two cartoon humans hybrids to wake up.
And that end Chapter 1 of Ink Machine Phantoms. Like I said for my idea, I'll cover the whole chapter from the game for one chapter in this story. I may end up splitting Chapter 3 into two parts because of how long it is. If I get to chapter 4 before Chapter 5 comes out, then you'll have wait until I see how the game end. This will also help decide on something else. For this story, Danny does not have his ghost powers, but I'm not sure of I should have this story take place before the Danny Phantom show or in another universe where Danny never got his ghost powers.
And from now on, if I don't get one review 24 hours after I post a new chapter for story, I will not continue that story. Right now this just goes for any new I work on. Also the Mario Brothers/Splatoon stories are still going to happen I just hit a brick wall for one of my ideas. Now please review so I can write some more of this story.
