"Stay still would you!" I shouted as the ink blob went under the wood again. I took a deep breath waiting for it to reappear and as soon at it did I swung the ax at the slime creatures head the slime splashing everywhere before being absorbed into the wood bubbling as it did so. Returning to the ink. I sighed using my ax to lean on for a moment panting as I tried to catch my breath. "Damn it, where is all this stuff coming from?"I grumbled wiping the ink off of my face and onto my sleeve. "I'm too old for this."
Suddenly I heard the clanging of cans and quickly stood up again. Gripping onto the ax tightly ready to swing it. "Come on I just got done with the last batch," I grumbled. Walking to the messed up junk piling the walls. I then heard it behind me and flung the ax towards the noise hoping to hit the creature or at least startle it.
"EEK!" The ink creature shouted and my eyes widened in surprise for a second my heart skipped a beat. It was... Bendy. The ax placed right between his horns and his legs shaking uncontrollably as if made out of rubber. This one... it didn't look at all like that abomination that's been chasing me. He looks more like the original drawings although some things seemed corrupted. His one horn looked like it was snapped and his one eye was covered with a makeshift eye patch. "Please don't kill me!" The Bendy clone cried putting his arms in front of him in a praying motion. Funny considering what he is.
"I won't kill you as long as you don't attack me." I said grabbing my ax and pulling it out of the door. The Bendy clone collapsed on the ground gripping his chest tightly. He looked up at me his big dark eyes staring, frightened. "Are there more of you?" I asked rolling my ax in my hand in a minorly threating motion. The clone's eyes followed its movements uncertainly.
"G-golly gee, I-I don't think so." The clone spoke without seemingly opening its mouth and it spoke like the cartoon too. Nearly perfect. "Say, pal... D-d-did you cut up all those Borises... Borisi?" He spoke in a shaky voice whilst trying to show bravery.
"No of course not. Who are you?" maybe since this one can talk I can get some sort of answer.
"Thank Alice above." The Bendy sighed leaning against the door before looking at me confused. "Who am I? Who am I!" He jumped up looking up at me. "What are you on Hooch? I'm Bendy The Dancing Demon!"
"You really think you're Bendy huh?" I questioned pointing the ax at him making his eyes go white so just the black outline of them remained.
"Would ya stop swingin' that thing around! and of course, I'm Bendy who else would I be!" He grumbled tapping his feet. "I don't got the snout to be Boris, nor the looks to be the lovely Alice."
Suppose that's pretty average I don't think my Boris clone remembers who he is either. I shrugged and began walking off before feeling a tug at my pant sleeve. "Hey, where ya going, pal? You ain't gonna leave me with those monsters are ya!"
"Yeah, it would be better for us both if you didn't come with me." I simply stated beginning to walk down the stairs.
"But uh I can be useful I can go through walls and unlock doors and I can uh uh take off my head." He listed ways he could help and I felt my heart waver slightly. He sounds like a kid. I looked back at him to see him holding his head in his hands. Ok, maybe he's not like a kid.
"Put your head back on," I stated plainly and he did so twisting around as if it was screwed in place about to say something before I interrupted. "You have to stay away from me. You see down here there are two groups of people. Those who follow the angel or the devil and I would rather not associate myself with either."
"Ooooohhh," Bendy said nodding his head. "It's one of those episodes."
"Episode?" I said in confusion blinking a few times. "You think you're in an episode?"
"Ya? A halloeve special maybe. You know the kind where everyone is goin' on about how angels are good and demons are bad and the end of the whole fi-fi?" He snapped his fingers a few times trying to think of the word.
"Fiasco?"
"Ya, and at the end of the whole fiasco, everyone learns the lesson about not judging others about how they look." He blinked at me a few times before narrowing his eye. "Even if they are carrying around an ax and almost impale you, but that's all right pal I forgive ya!" He gave the gesture of wanting a hug and when I didn't respond he slowly put down his hands.
"So where's ol Alice Angel the siren canary herself!" He smiled wider pulling on his bowtie as if to fix it.
"Hmm." I thought for a second. If I give this one to Alice maybe she'll forgo all these errands. He does look like a nearly perfect Bendy. "Fine, you can come with me."
"Yippie! Golly gee I'm sure this is the beginnin' of a beauutiful friendship. What's your name pal?" He held out his white-gloved hand for me to shake.
Reluctantly I shook the clones hand. "I'm Henry, Henry Stein."
"Pleasure to meet cha Mr. Stein can I call ya Henry?"
"Sure, and the pleasure is all mine." Acting like this he should be pretty easy to manipulate. Just need to get to the elevator and take him down to that messed up Alice. I'm sure he'll probably run straight into her hands. Then he'll be out of my hair and I can go home.
