"Ugh... Cuphead, I swear if that's you shining your flashlight in my face again, I'm gonna-" Bendy pauses. He shifts his hand up to his forehead to shield his eyes from the light that is pouring out from what appears to be a giant hole above.
"What the- Ugh my head..." Bendy squints as he looks around to find he has landed in a small cavern of some sort. The place looked abandoned, crumbled pillars stood or have fallen over time, covered by dusty vines. A line of columns lead to a faded, purple path. Underneath him lies a circular blanket of soft, golden flowers. Each one beautiful, soft yellow petals. In a way, they reminded Bendy of his little brother, always happy, kind and gentle. Never doubting or giving up... unlike him.
Bendy does a sit up but collapses back down on his back from dizziness.
"Okay... guess I'll just lay here for a while then..." Bendy closes his eyes from exhaustion and a partial concussion and drifts into an uneasy sleep.
"Hey, Bendy! Bendy!" Boris cries out as he charges at Bendy (who is sitting with his favorite adventurer and writer, Felix the cat) half tripping, half running. His ears flapping, eyes bright and sparkling with excitement; it makes Bendy smile. "It... and then there was a... and a light and... it's so great!" Boris pants, gasping for air.
"Woah, slow down Boris! Now, what is it?" Bendy replies.
"Ok, ok, ok. Well... actually I came over here so you could see it for yourself!" Boris explains quickly as he grabs Bendy's arm without a second thought and races off with him; Felix right on their heels. Bendy strains to keep his balance while being helplessly dragged by his brother towards what looks like another cave system.
Mugman was also a part of the discovery/surprise thing as he was also dragging his brother with him. "Ok, can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" Cuphead growls.
"To be honest I don't know..." Bendy responds as he rubs the back of his head sheepishly.
"Well, I think this is a great mystery! I can't wait to see what awaits us!" Felix chirps, arm around Bendy. "Wouldn't you agree?"
"I- uh, TOTALLY! I mean mysteries are great!"
"That's the spirit Bendy!" Felix rubs the top of Bendy's head playfully, which turns into playful shoving and chasing.
"Okay, are we gonna go see what it is or are we going to sit here and play tag?" Cuphead grunts.
"Sheesh, okay." Bendy says as they all walk into the entrance of the giant opening.
Boris and Mugman take the lead as the rest of the group take in the new surroundings. Broken railroad tracks and minecarts are tossed all over the ground. Pickaxes and coal chunks are in piles here and there. A giant hole surrounded by vines has been dug into the center of the room. The place they are in is an abandoned mine. It was also very dark.
"Uh, is this what the f*cking surprise was? Cuz if it is, you really wasted my time-"
"No!" Mugman and Boris say simultaneously.
"Look, through here!" Boris says as his arm grabs the wall and pulls it towards him as he enters through.
I turns out the wall was actually a wall of vines. Draping the vines to the side, Felix, Cuphead and Bendy step forward and gasp at the amazing view.
Crystals and diamonds littered the high ceiling as they shone brightly. It was almost as great as looking at stars but only they were rocks.
"What a beautiful sight this is! This was indeed worth the surprise I must say!" Felix cheers as he tips his fedora up to get a better view.
"I agree! Great job, Boris! And you too, Mugman!" Bendy agrees.
After a couple minutes Cuphead strolls out into the abandoned mine. Bendy notices and rushes out too. Everyone then follows one by one and meets in the middle of the cave.
"I really did wish I had a camera on me, or I would have taken a picture to remember our adventures..." Boris says sadly after a while of silence.
"Actually," Felix says while digging through his magic bag, "I do! Go ahead and take the picture!"
Bendy smiles as his brother as he rushes back into the secret room. But that smile quickly faded as he felt something dripping on his face. His hand slowly met with the drip and he stepped back startled.
"Oh no... No, no, no, no, no, NO!" Bendy says quietly which turns into a yell. Felix, Cuphead and Mugman turn around to see Bendy shaking in fear and pain. The pain was terrible.
"It... it hurts... so bad... help... GUH!"
Bendy spits up some ink the dribbles down his chin onto the cave floor.
"Oh goodness, Bendy!" Felix exclaims as he rushes towards Bendy, who just pushes him away.
"No... can't hurt you... I can't... UGH!" He lurches backward, holding his stomach crawling nearer and nearer to the hole until he was on the edge.
"Bendy, no! Stop, you're going to-" Felix shouts.
"Hey guys, I got the pictu- Bendy?! Wait! Bendy NO!" Boris screams as he races to his brother.
Bendy hesitates and takes a small step back again to be in contact with a vine. The last thing he saw as he tumbled into the darkness was his Brother's face, sad and horrified, tears running down his continuously vanishing face.
Bendy says one thing before he blacks out.
"I'm sorry."
