Previously on Fallen Humans, Rising Demon, Bendy, the Figure of Ink approached the slumbering forms of Lincoln Loud and Ronnie Anne Santiago and stumbled upon some very disturbing, yet revelating information regarding their pasts and what the boy writes in his personal sketchbook. With a devious idea sketched into Bendy's "brain" he gathers all the searchers and lost ones to perform a powerful of unknown origin, bringing himself and the slumbering children to the deepest point in Joey Drew Studios. His travels did not go unnoticed however, as Swollen Jack, Sammy Lawrence, the Butcher Gang, the Projectionist, Alice Angel, and Boris the Wolf have all heard and/or saw their descent into the darkness and followed. With enough explanation given through the Ink Demon's use of sign language and the insane music director's understanding of that form of silent tongue, all in the studios that still retain enough cognitive function now rally under the demon's banner. Even the sadistic Alice Angel decided to play along with this, if not without a few words of warning. Let us see why this ritual requires the new orphans in a new ceremonial attire.
Lincoln's Subconscious, "Ceremonial" Chamber, Bendy's Cave, Ink Machine Core.
"Attention! This is the police! You are trespassing on private property! Surrender immediately and you will be reunited with your families, refuse or we will have to bring you in through force!" The sounds and words gave him a sudden awakening. He looks around to see Ronnie Anne with the other travellers boarding up the entryway into the Ink Machine Room. Given their position, it would appear that they have lost serious ground against the authorities. "Glad you could join us Lame-O, because we really need your help, someone ratted us out and David's new security system has found our families right outside our front door. We managed to bring down several of the officers but we lost a lot of ground. We need one of your big plans right now!" He was beginning to panic now as the weight of the situation kicks in. His tormentors had found him despite whatever precautions he made. Again. They have come for him. Again. And he will feel their full wrath. Again. No, not this time. He will succeed this time, He will make them pay for everything they have to him. He will protect what he loves, even if it kills him!
He opens the barrel and finds several heavily loaded tommy guns. He gives one to each of his new family members, and gives two to Ronnie Anne and himself, many of the people here have played enough shooting games at the arcade to know how to handle a firearm. "Are we really going to take a life in order to start our new ones?" Bobby questions him worriedly. He nods silently. Sometimes in order to achieve victory, sacrifices must be made. They head to each of the holes and open fire on the police, gunning them down as more take their place. In minutes they start to run out of ammunition and their makeshift barricade starts being forced open one wooden plank at a time. The children press all their might against the police, trying to keep the barricade up for as long as they can, begging them to understand their sorrow, their despair. They don't listen. With a strong push from their ram, they shatter the barrier. Unable to slow their momentum with Bobby and the others in the way, they all run into the rotting wooden barrier, and in slow motion, break it. With the speed of the impact and the distance they make, they fall into the hole the Ink Machine has risen from, leaving a devastated Lincoln and Ronnie Anne to stare down the abyss as the others grab them and bring to their tormentors. They don't make any move to resist.
They're unceremoniously pinned onto the ground by the officers, the shadow of their families blocking the blazing sunlight. What ticks them off is that they just keep smiling. Even Mrs. Santiago is smiling and crying tears of joy despite the death of her firstborn son. "To be honest with you Lincoln, we always knew that you two would get together." Leni says, supporting the crying Lori, whose only love is considered to be a large splat on the studio's bottom floor with the others, " If you're wondering how latest plan failed, all Lori had to do was work her magic on Clyde." The boy curses under his breath. As long as he has known of him, Clyde's one true weakness was his love for Lori. She always knew how to play like a fiddle when he wasn't unconscious with the occasional nose bleed. Ronnie Anne gives a glance to her extended "family" and like her predictions about them from before suggest, they carry the same madenening presence as her mother. "So you caught us, so what?" Lincoln declares, "Imprison us, separate us, break us, we're just going to keep making escapes plans, we will stick together no matter what happens to us. We will never forgive you for what you did to us!"
The cops look at them with suspicion but Lola says to them, "Remember our deal? You agreed to help us get our brother and his girlfriend back, and we won't tell anyone about what your department does to its prisoners and evidence." They throw the two eleven-year olds at the families and make a break for their cars, speeding down the road at breakneck speeds. Lisa turns her attention back at the escapees and says, "On the contrary, we anticipated something like this might happen. I do respect the methods that you used to prevent us from tracking you, but when Ronnie Anne's mom came to and called us about what happened to her and what she had planned. An idea formed. So the Casagrandes decided to move in with us in the house next door to us on the right, merging our basements together. Now we can all be one big happy family forever." Lincoln realizes what this means, they're bringing Ronnie Anne's jailers together into the fold with his and they will probably have their own methods to make them both suffer, especially from the magnitude of this plan. A swift bludgeon from Lynn knocks him out. The tomboy tries to help him, but she too falls in the same manner.
(Several "hours" later) Loud-Casagrande basement, Lincoln's subconscious
Scalding hot water drenches Lincoln face, forcing him awake in a painful manner. Waiting as the pain subsides, he views his surroundings. It is dark, silhouettes of tools and suspended chains with hooks litter the walls and tables in a surgical fashion. A small lamp dangling from the ceiling is the only thing that illuminates him. He tries to move his arms and chains forces them still. The chains pull back in a human fashion, forcing his arms back.A look to his left and he finds a naked Ronnie Anne just waking up from the same "alarm clock". He looks down and discovers that he too has nothing covering him. Realizing the situation the young lovers are in, they slam their backs each other in embarrassment and not to look to look at each others' bodies. Then they remember what happen earlier, the failed plan, the police incursion, the death of their new family, and being recaptured by their so called "blood family." Lucy appears from the shadows, unemotional. For the first time, she did not even try and scare them when she turned up. From her left and her right, the members of Loud and Casagrande family gather around the duo, all of them carrying the same sickly smile. Even Lily and Carlito have the same expression.
"Wakey Wakey, eggs and bakey. We have some very good news for both of you." Maria tells them in a sing-song voice. "With so many nice and responsible people, I was able to get a new full time job. Hopefully we may be able to keep our new home this time." The imprisoned boy raises an eyebrow at the notion. "Oh, that's right Lame-O." Lynn explains for him, "We helped them move in while you wasted your time trying to make a new life in that dirty little hovel. All of yours plans have failed and you had to suffer for each and every last one. What made you think that running away to that old cartoon studio will make things better for you?" "We went to that studio because you gave us no choice!" He yells at them, earning glares from the combined group, "You couldn't bring yourself to accept me as your only brother, your only son. You could only see me as a monster, a demon of your creation. And I'm sure you saw Ronnie Anne was a fallen angel from when she was first born, Mrs. Santiago. I can't even begin to think of what made you responsible for killing your husband." She slaps him and the face "Shut up! You know nothing about me or what I did to keep my family safe. Now we can all be together and bond with one another, forever."
Lincoln just laughs at the pain, and that grows with more intensity as it subsides. "Of course I do, we learned so much about each other and our families, especially Ronnie Anne's father, the only person person besides Bobby and myself who cared for her and loved her as a human being. I did some research about our home. Of how the authorities say there was an accident in Joey Drew Studios. Did you know that Pop-Pop's mother and Mr. Santiago's grandfather once worked there for a time? No? I checked the employee manifest at the studio and found their names at the top of the papers. They told me that something foreign entered their systems. It wasn't fatal, they said. I'm sure they both found love and began to have children of their own. It was only until a child was born that carried the same substance in their system that drove the infected father/mother insane. I may not be a doctor, but I know what happens to certain people once they get withdrawal of a certain substance, if know what I mean.
Two slap to his face, harder this time from his parents. "Boy, it would seems that what the doctor said was true, you have gone mad." Lynn Sr. angrily remarks. It is now Ronnie Anne's turn to laugh like crazy and say her part. "Welcome to the club, you freaks. From the rumors and and tabloids that we have heard before we went homeward bound, we discovered that the very same substance from before jumps from one generation to another, growing stronger and stronger with each host, affecting everyone anyone around the cursed in the worst ways possible, and the previous generation even more so. A little more digging, and it turns that we now have that same virus inside of us." She says in a growinly unstable tone quickly followed suit by Lincoln, "That's the reason why you hate us so much, how that everywhere where we go, we make everyone and everything that causes us pain to suffer. The only reason that our true family was immune to it is because they made us happy and cared for us as if we were their brother and sister. The only way to escape this nightmare is to embrace our calling with open arms. From there, the twin families begin to inflict non-stop torture on the two children. They never stop laughing. Meanwhile in the distance, the unseen eyes of the Ink Demon sees all.
Art Department
Bobby is forced awake by a terrible nightmare. He puts his hand to his face and realizes that there was ink on his palm. He looks around and breathes a sigh of relief that it was just a nightmare to begin with and nothing. He is proven as finds that his little sister and brother are missing. "Guys, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne are missing!" He goes around, forcing people awake and telling them one by one the bad news. "How were they able to slip away from us last night?" Sam worriedly asks her new brothers. "In my opinion, new older sibling. Due to each of our unique downward spirals and suddenly being forced back must have disrupted our "routine". Simply put, we were too tired to notice them split off from the group" David concludes. They agree with their new younger brother's hypothesis, their entire lives have been built upon their own pain and/or suffering. Some took time to settle in, while others just needed a little push. He ponders for a moment, about where they could have gone. The rec room was too obvious, Boris' room was too creepy even for Rocky, the theater was too crowded with chairs to find a comfortable place to sleep, the offices didn't show promise either, the last one that comes to mind is… the Ink Machine Room. "Guys," Bobby realizes, "I think I know where they could be, and you won't like it."
He leads them to the Ink Machine Room, to find it strangely boarded up from the inside. "How this get placed here without us knowing about it? Why would they go so far to isolate themselves so much?" Sam comes in with an axe and slams it down on the makeshift barricade, swiftly breaking it into splinters. It appears to be based on a firefighter's axe, while also resembling a hatchet. It has a tan blade and a black handle. The new family gives her two thumbs up, making her proceed to do a guitar riff with the axe. They all enter and see not only the changes Lincoln made to the balcony, but the complete disappearance of the Ink Machine. "Odd, my new brother and younger sister units, no, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne told us that during the process to activate the Ink Machine, it rose from a large hole in the floor, yet it's gone." Skippy notices something on the ground; black footprints leading to an ink-stained bed, then leading back to the balcony's edge. He looks over to find the same prints down there too and the switch used to raise the machine pushed down and damaged. "Guys," Skippy says, " I don't think we're alone in here." Winston sees it too now, and pulls on Chaz's shirt, bringing his attention to the footprints as well.
Soon they all become aware of one basic fact, someone or something was already living here long before they ever arrived here and now that same entity has kidnapped their new brother and sister for who knows what. "David?" Bobby says to the scientist while staring down that hole, can that device pull in some items that we can use to do defend ourselves?" David looks at with a questioned look on his but the look in his new brother tells him otherwise, "You're planning to go after them, aren't you?" He nods. "Then we're coming too, they're our brother and sister too. A family, if not a friend, means nothing if we can't look for each other. I'll recalibrate the machine for what we need." David heads back to the rec room, getting shouts of approval from the others. Bobby simply says "Thank you, all of you." before following the four-year old, quickly followed by the others.
Rec Room
They enter the Rec room and quickly find an sizable assortment of armored suits of individualized colors. "Wow, you really don't waste time with this kind of thing, you sure aren't related to a grandfather clock?" David gives small laugh to his joke, then returns to the task at hand. "Given the state of decay that our new residence has taken and the arisen situation, I stole some prototype suits from my home and brought them here. These suits will allow us to safely explore the depths of this studio, perform repairs to any damage we see, create an updating map of our shared home, and fight off whoever or whatever lurks in the shadows. All the while making sure we don't get our clothes don't get stained with all that ink down there."
A few minutes later and they are well equipped for the venture down. "Um, what if we run into anything hostile down below? How will we defend ourselves? I mean Sam has that axe, but what about us?" He heads to over to a chest and grabs a few items for them, "I found these some time ago last night, so these will have to do." He hands them a large blade that looks like it belonged to a large scissor, a tommy gun, a gent pipe, pickaxe, shovel, a sledgehammer, a pipe wrench, and a syringe, and a plunger. Modeled off from the real life version, the Tommy Gun (or formally known as the M1921 Thompson Submachine Gun, mostly used in the Prohibition Era by criminals) has an 18-round drum of ammunition. The gun itself is made from ink, as it melts back into ink normally if the steps to get it are not done or if the steps are not done probably. The pipe consists of two separate pipes connected together, one curved, and one straight. There is a word printed on it titled "GENT". The other items carry a similar design.
Bobby takes the tommy gun, Sam keeps the axe, Chaz gets the scissor blade, Lane gets the gent pipe and in turn the jokes that come from it, Fransisco gains the pipe wrench, Rocky gains acquisition of the shovel, Skippy gets the sledgehammer, Winston has the pickaxe, and David is left with both the syringe and the plunger. The young scientist opens his mouth in protest, but closes when realizing the two will be useful in apprehending the mysterious kidnapper. "Okay, David. Now that we have the gear and the means to defend ourselves, how are supposed to get down there safely, I don't exactly see ourselves climbing down those chains." Francisco says, concerned about how to reach them. David calmy answers, "While looking around the Rec Room, I managed to spot a hatch leading deeper into the studio, it seems to be the only safe way of getting down into the depths. It's not like falling through the floor." He heads over and opens the hatch showing stairs leading down to the basement, "Alright my bros and sister," Bobby declares, arming the gun, "Let's give our family the better future we deserve."
They head down three flights of stairs and see the entire first room of the basement flooded in ink. "Ugh. It's even worse down here than it is upstairs." says a disgusted Winston, but I think that valve over there might lower it. Francisco, being the smallest one tall enough to wade through it, forces his way into the thick ink turns the valve. Just like Winston said, the ink drains out of the room. With the ink gone, they get a good view of the room. The first room consists of a locked door blocked by a number of chairs and a dresser. There is a shelf containing an audio log and a can of Bacon Soup. Curious about the log contains, he presses the play button "It's dark and it's cold and it's stuck in behind every single wall now." It says, "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." "Interesting," Skippy says "It would appear that before we arrived here, the Ink Machine has been falling apart for quite some time, looks like we're going to have a long day ahead of us. The basement consists of at least three long stairways, leading to the lower level of Joey Drew Studios.
The first floor consists of a light bulb from above, which flickers rapidly and inconsistently with the sign that says "DANGER: KEEP OUT" The second floor contains two pipes each sporting a valve, and like before is flooded. Benny and Sam each take a valve, lowering the ink level again and again. Signs of "WATCH YOUR STEP" being placed on certain walls. The third floor, yet again, consists of a flickering light-bulb. After the last set of stairs, the final room consists of some barrels and the "THE CREATOR LIED TO US" message written in ink on the walls. There is a second axe on a workbench, which Bobby grabs without hesitation. Realizing how to progress, Bobby brings down the axe on the rotting boards, breaking them with relative ease. The hallway leading to the next room after this last room is blocked by numerous boards with ink leaking from the ceiling and a small candle placed in a corner to provide light.
Again, the door is blocked by wooden boards, which is easily taken care by the eldest member of the new family. The room they enter contains a pentagram-like symbol drawn on the floor with ink surrounded by five candles. There are also three coffins; two laying against the wall and the other on the floor. There are also three chairs; one from the left side and two others from the right. There is a shelf located from the left side of the room. A "The Dancing Demon" poster is printed on the wall, and from above the right side is a pipe. From the left side, there is a door which leads to an unknown location, but it is blocked by three boards. The door entrance is blocked by at least three boards. Rocky, intrigued by the symbol, moves closer to it, followed by his new uneasy siblings. A series of images painfully form in their minds when they get close enough of to the symbol. The first is the Ink Machine itself, the second shows an empty wheelchair, and the final shows a silhouetted monster. The pain takes its toll on them as they all fall unconscious, with inky hands rising from the stains.
"Ceremonial" Chamber, Bendy's Lair, Ink Machine Core
Both Lincoln and Ronnie Anne are forced awake by the nightmare. They look around to find themselves in a brand new location that is unfamiliar to them, nothing but thick strands of inky webbing being the distinguishable feature. Lincoln tries to move but finds himself tethered to the web. "What is this stuff?' He angrily questions, "I can't move! Ronnie Anne are you faring any better?" It is then that he sees the new attire on her girlfriend and orphaned sister. He turns away, his face blushing about how beautiful she looks in that. "Sorry, Lincoln but no dice, whoever made this stuff made it work to last." Her face glows red for a second as she sees what her new "twin" brother is now wearing. "Uh, Lame-O? What are you wearing? It makes you look… handsome." He looks down and sees what he is wearing is now completely different than what he wore when he fell asleep with her. "What about you Ronnie Anne, you look very nice yourself in that." Lincoln uneasily replies to her, blushing all the while. She looks down and quickly becomes embarrassed by the compliment. "Pleasantries aside Lincoln, I do hope that someone will be more than willing to tell us what the heck we're wearing and why we're here." A new question is made by Lincoln, "Did you feel as if we had the same nightmare earlier?" She gives a glance to Lincoln, but nods. "Yeah, our home compromised by our former captors, our new family falling to their deaths, our old ones planning to knock the little stuffing that's left in us, and our little crazy episode." He sighs, "It was very surprising to find those medical records in that little box in my prison. It was also lucky that we found the employee manifest in the Rec Room as well. It was only a matter of time before it all made sense.
"Before what made sense, my new friends?" A middle-aged voice rings out through the room, "Do you like what the Ink Demon had picked out for you? I wanted to dress you up into something more… fitting for our lord and savior, but he wanted to have a personal touch to things. Out of nowhere, they begin to see hallucinations as a man with a mask appears before, The room shakes as the webs vibrate. A notable feature was the swarm of arms reaching out for them, clawing each other "So first Joey installs this Ink Machine over our heads. Then it begins to leak. Three times last month, we couldn't even get out of our department because the ink kept flooded the stairwell. Joey's solution? An ink pump to drain it periodically. Now I have this ugly pump switch right in my office. People in and out all day. Thanks, Joey. Just what I needed. More distractions. These stupid cartoon songs don't write themselves, you know." They hear these words echo through their minds. Because of their unfortunate experience with the effects of insanity on the mind, they conclude that these words were spoken by a past version of whoever is staring at them now.
"Every artistic person needs a sanctuary. Joey Drew has his and I've got mine. To enter, you need only know my favorite song. Sing my song and my sanctuary will open to you." The next quotes show a sudden fall into madness, again mentioning this demon they have seen in their nightmare. "He appears from the shadows to rain his sweet blessings upon me. The figure of ink that shines in the darkness. I see you, my savior. I pray you hear me. Those old songs, yes, I still sing them. For I know you are coming to save me. And I will be swept into your final loving embrace. But, love requires sacrifice. Can I get an amen? Sheep, sheep, sheep, it's time for sleep. Rest your head. It's time for bed. In the morning you may wake or in the morning you'd be dead."
The horror visions stop as Lincoln says, "Are you Sammy Lawrence, the music director for those cartoons I watch every night?" Ronnie Anne, now seeing the resemblance from the photos, adds on with, "Yeah, I think it is Sammy, I always love those songs, they always help through some dark times. Sammy is surprised by the fact that someone, let alone two still know who he is and enjoy his work. Now that he sees them here and now, he does see the resemblance between the two humans and the cartoon counterparts on the movie poster. A tap on his shoulder makes the mad musician slink to reveal Bendy in all of his demonic glory standing right beside him. The two children are startled by the surprise, a bit scared too, but the something in their eyes tell the demon that they know him, in one way or another. Time to test that theory. He begins to moves hand to show the first sign, with Sammy waiting to translate, but the two children cut him off, speaking in total sync. "You're saying your name is Bendy and you have been down here for several decades because of something Joey Drew, like all others' did to further his own goals. Wait, how can we understand what you're saying without you moving your mouth? How are we speaking at the same time?" Bendy leans his head to the right side with intrigue, Only those who carry his own tainted ink would be able to understand and translate what he says. This ability would prove quite useful for their plans.
"Impressive, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne," He cranes his head to each of them when he pronounces their names. "There are a rare few that can understand what I say, like Mr. Lawrence over here." Sammy bows when he is mentioned. "But there is an even rarer few that can hear my true voice, my very thoughts. I wonder what kind of person would to spend their nights, willingly, in a place like this. So, why did you come here?" The two look at each other for a moment, hopefully trying to find a means to escape or at least stalling. But with the dream they shared and twisted representation of their favorite cartoon practically inches from them makes dissuade lying to him. So they tell him everything, the other intruders, how they got here and why they're here in the first place." Bendy listens with great intensity as they both give their confessions, from when it began to their currents thoughts of vengeance against humanity and blooming love for one another. As more information is given, his smile vibrates faster and more intensely.
It moves more slower when they reach the point of why they trespassed upon their home. The pain, suffering, the humiliation, indignation and degradation of these children. It was one thing to feel it when Bendy touched them in the Ink Machine Room, but hearing just makes him angry. Just like before, he gets an idea. "What if I told you, there is a way to make your dreams come true. An opportunity to give anything and everything you desire for yourselves and your new family, and the power to reap vengeance upon our creators and all of their wretched kind." That piques the chained children's interests. From where they stand, physically and psychologically, they're more than willing to make any sacrifice necessary to keep their family safe by any and every means possible. But they still retain enough sanity to know that opportunities like these come with a dangerous price. "Suppose we say yes to your little offer, my dancin' friend." Lincoln says, looking right into what believes is his eyes. "What price must we pay in order to make this dream a reality?" Bendy's grin grows a little bigger. "Very perceptive younglings. For we too dream of taking revenge against our creators and shaping the entire world as we see fit. But as of right now, we won't exactly to be able to do much, let alone leave. But with you, with your brothers and sister, and with these," He pulls out the two sketchbooks Lincoln always carried around, sweat now running down the artist's face, and shows them the final pages on both of them. "You can be born anew, as nephilim."
Alice bursts into the room and just like before, another vision appears with another voice recollecting the past. "It may only be my second month working for Joey Drew, but I can already tell I'm gonna love it here! People really seem to enjoy my Alice Angel voice. Sammy says she may be as popular as Bendy someday. These past few weeks I have voiced everything from talking chairs to dancing chickens. But this is the first character I really felt a connection with. Like she's a part of me. Alice and I, we are going places." A name appears in their minds; Susie Campbell. She must have been the original voice for Alice Angel. The next one has them hear great sadness. "Everything feels like it's coming apart. When I walked into the recording booth today, Sammy was there with that... Allison. Apparently, I didn't get the memo. Alice Angel will now be voiced by Miss Allison Pendle. A part of me died when he said that. There's gotta be a way to fix this!" From there, they can make out that she had been replaced at some point by Allison Pendle, news that Susie took personally.
"Who would've thought? Me having lunch with Joey Drew! Apparently times are tougher than I thought. For a moment there, I thought I'd be stuck with the check. But I gotta say, he wasn't at all what I expected. Quite the charmer. He even called me Alice. I liked it." She sounds more calmer than before and it seems she sticked around the studio for a while thanks to Joey, "They told me I was perfect for the role. Absolutely perfect. Now Joey's going around saying things behind closed doors. I can always tell. Now he wants to meet again tomorrow, says he has an "opportunity" for me. I'll hear him out. But if that smooth talker thinks he can double cross an angel and get away with it, well, oh he's got another thing coming. Alice, ooh she doesn't like liars." The last voice seems to be more suspicious than normal, and comparing her appearance with that of Sammy and Bendy, something bad happened here. "Nephilim, did you say nephilim! Are you insane Bendy?!" She yells at him, yet keeps her distance. The vision ends and Lincoln's face is still as as red as a beet, the same color that Ronnie Anne's face has taken. "Lame-O, do you really see me as that? A goddess?" directing to Azraela. He nods shamefully. "And I suppose that's what you see yourself as, a god among demons." Again he nods. "I love it." She says surprising him. "I can't believe how much you truly think of me. To be honest, I've had that same problem. Do you know what a nephilim is?" He nods in approval of her query. He speaks to the three, which grabs their attention. "Susie Campbell, Alice Angel, whatever you A nephilim is considered to be the union between the sons of God and the spawn of Hell. Commonly referred to as angels and demons."
Alice takes another step back, Her memories are all distorted due to all the ink in her system but she clearly remembers that in the cartoon world, Bendy and Alice have always had a "unique" relationship. Seeing the two children imprisoned before her makes her remember that side of her. She quickly heads back out the same way she came in and a glance from Bendy at Sammy's direction makes him leave as well, leaving the humans and the Figure of Ink alone in the room. "So what you are trying to say is that you want us to be reborn as nephilim; practically concede our mind, body, and soul to you and whatever you have planned for us, to gain the means to take revenge on those who have lied and done wrong to us. Is that it?" He nods. "Yes, you will concede your physical form, but your minds and souls will become evolved, yet your memories will remains untouched. There is the matter of your family however, from what I hear, your family found their way into the pentagram room. I have my Searchers on standby waiting for my orders. But what I tell them depends on you. Since you consider them your family, I will let you decide what I should say."
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne think very carefully about what to say next. This is the decision that will decide it all. On one hand, judging from how dangerous someone of Bendy's caliber, it doesn't take a genius to know what these "Searchers" he spoke of are strong enough to subdue them. But on the other hand, there is still the opportunity to join him and finally have revenge against their former families. They have both agreed to one another last night that they will pay any price to have vengeance. They have both been diagnosed with insanity before they left for the studios. It will probably take one last push to finally break them. They will have to make them understand. "Pick them off piece by piece." They say their answer, "Bring the captured here and I will share the knowledge of your gift with them as well. Do it when they fall unconscious." Bendy nods as he places his hand to his horn to relay the commands to his servants "Don't worry my dear family, He is not the only who will help set you free."
And now the lines have been drawn. Sorry for taking so long to update, I've been so busy with the Convergence that I haven't had time to work on this, if you're interested with that story, check it out sometime. To obtain the Tommy Gun in Chapter 3: Rise and Fall, you must take the path of the demon and stay alive until the part where you need to collect ink hearts from the Projectionist's domain. The blade belongs to Allison Angel, who used it to kill Alice Angel in Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders and will continue to use it in Chapter 5: The Last Reel, coming out October 26. The falling through the floor is a reference to Chapter 1: Moving Pictures, where after being jumpscared by Bendy, Henry falls through the inky floor while fleeing for the main exit. Same for the arms with Chapter 4. Until then, you are the true hero and your legend is now.
