Dear Sasuke,

Seems like a lifetime since we work on that show together. 15 years really slips away,doesn't it?

If you're in town,come visit the old studio. There's something I need to show you.

Your friend,Orochimaru

.

Sasuke scoffed at the friend part as he placed the letter back in his pocket. He pushed his black out of his eye as he looked up at the old studio. It looked the same as he remembered,except the decay from age and the H from the Orochimaru Stuidos had fallen off. Sasuke chuckled a bit as he remembered when Orochimaru had the Joey Drew Studios taken apart and flown to Japan to be completely rebuilt.

As he was walking here from the airport and asked about it,people would tell him stories.

"Haven't you heard? That place is haunted. No one goes near there."

"My friend snuck in there once. People said they could hear his screams of terror and pain and he was never seen from again."

"Rumor has it that the studio workers just all vanished one day. Their family members went in to see what happened,but none of them ever came back out."

Sasuke shook his head and sighed. "I hate stupid ghost stories. Just cause a place is old,doesn't mean it's haunted."

He opened the door,letting out a cough from the dust,and looked around at the old posters for the show. It was a reboot for an old American cartoon named Bendy. They made sure to keep the designs the same as the were for the American version,more polished to look nicer,and none of the names were changed. Bendy stayed Bendy,but was given a tail,the wolf was named Boris,and the angel was still named Alice.

Sasuke turned the corner and was surprised to see an old timey projector running. Even more so when tried flipping a light switch and nothing happened. "Is it powered by batteries or something?"He sighed and turned around the corner.

He noticed the place had been through remodels. So many,in fact,that he didn't recognize the place or remember his way around. He cursed as his slumped over. "How am I suppose to find him?" He pushed back his bangs as he straightened back up and started looking for wherever Orochimaru might be.

.

After an hour,Sasuke let out a sigh as he rubbed his forehead. "I...I've been walking in circles."

"Whatcha looking for?"

Sasuke grabbed his heart as it started racing from the scare before turning around and raising his eyebrow. Standing behind him was a blonde,he couldn't be older then 19,who was dressed completely in black,white gloves,and a stupid,rather large bow tie. He also had black horns on the top of his head,but what was really odd to Sasuke was that the blonde's eyes. The pupils of his sky blue eyes were shaped like a little Pac-Men.

The blonde tilted his head and asked,"Who are you? Whatcha looking for?" with a smile. Sasuke watched what looked like a tail move behind the man before shaking his head and saying,"I'm Sasuke. I'm looking for someone."

The stranger smiled and said,"I can help you find them! Maybe you can meet my friends too!"

Sasuke stared confused for a second before shaking his head. "No. Just finding who i'm looking for is enough." The stranger pouted and looked up as Sasuke started walking off.

His eyes quickly flashed red before he walked up and got in front of Sasuke, "Maybe if you start the Ink Machine,your friend will show up." Sasuke raised his eyebrow slightly at the word "Ink Machine" before he asked,"Where is it?" The stranger smiled then started walking around the corner. "Follow me!"

Sasuke watched as his tail disappeared behind the wall and started heading the other way. He may have wanted to find Orochimaru,but not enough to walk deeper into the studio with a creepy cosplayer.

He sighed and moved the old desks around before he flinched as he heard,"It's rude to ignore people who are trying to help you."

He steadied his heart rate and turned around to see the stranger again,though his voice sounded different. It was a bit deeper and more silky,compared to how childish it sounded before. Sasuke raised an eyebrow when he saw the stranger's appearance had changed a bit too. The bowtie drooped,the sleeves looked like the started melting onto the gloves,his shoes were now bare black feet,his hair was longer and turned black,his facial marks were darker,and his eyes were now blood red.

"How did he change so fast?"

The stranger gave a sly smile as he pushed himself off the wall he was leaning on and walked over to Sasuke. He yanked the tie he was wearing and said,"I offered help and you ran away? That's not nice." He let out a small chuckle. "But,i'll speed up the process for you. The Ink Machine is in the back,got a nice big room all to its self. To make it work,you gotta collect the items depicted in the room with alters,hit the pressure switch in the music room,and then flip the switch back in the alter room."

He let go of Sasuke's tie and turned around. "Once you do that,the Ink Machine will turn on and you'll be able to find your friend." He gave a smirk. "And a little fun."

Sasuke clinched his tie as the stranger walked off,letting out a gasp when he saw small spikes sticking out his back,and gulped. What was with that guy? Was he gonna kill him if he didn't do what he said or something? And what did he mean by fun?

Sasuke let out a tsk and walked to the back of the studio. He turned the corner and found a larger room with an odd machine dangling from the roof. "Guess that's it." He sighed and plugged in the power it needed.

.

Sasuke had set the last item on its alter and was walking in the room the stranger had talked about. There was an old clip from the show playing and creepy whistling filled the room. He pressed the pressure button and made the walk back to the alter room,where he flipped the switch then sighing when he realized he had to walk to the other side of the studio again.

Halfway to the room,he noticed inky footprints on the floor and started following them. Once he reached the door the lead to,he jiggled the doorknob to find the door was locked and sighed. "Well,that was pointless..." He ran his hand through his hair and continued to the Ink Machine.

He saw the doorway was boarded up and took smaller steps closer. He reached out to start pulling the boards off as a black figure screeched and popped up from behind,reaching out for him,making Sasuke flinched and fall over when that happened.

Sasuke had no idea what just happened and he didn't wanna stay to find out. He jumped up and made a break for the door,seeing the studio going into a weird lockdown mode as ink flooded everywhere. He reached out for the front door when the floor gave out and he crashed into the ground.

He groaned and rubbed his neck as he sat up,wondering how he survived. He looked around the room,picked up the axe on the desk,and cut down the boards in the way. After walk through a pool of ink,he found a room filled with candles,coffins,and had a pentagram on the floor.

Sasuke felt a thud to the back of his head and fell to the floor. Trying to keep conscious,he saw black feet walk by him and heard a voice saying,"Sheep,sheep,sheep. It's time for sleep." before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he passed out.
