...Chapter 10…
~Drew Studios - 30 years ago~
Alice Angel finds famed Cartoonist Joey Drew with his throat already slit. Enraged by somebody denying what is in her opinion rightfully hers, she begins ripping the room apart. She starts by up ending his desk, paperwork flying everywhere. Then she takes the axe to the cabinets and wooden floor. After accidentally breaking open a safe, finding a strange old book. Curious Alice tries to pick it up to read it, only for her hand to bubble and melt away from touching it. Alice drops to her knees with a wave of pain washing over her. "DAMN IT WHAT KIND OF BOOK IS THAT?!" The cover of the book has a Raven with purple eyes that start glowing.
Years later, Vivienne Corbeau steps into Joey's office, finding his dusty old skeleton. "Alas poor Joey parting is such sweet sorrow." She rips the skull off it's shoulders, quotes Shakespeare as she tosses the skull against the wall. "Now then, where did you hide it?"
~Medical department - Now~
Henry wakes up in a hospital bed with his arm in a cast, his head still spinning from the blow to the head. The last thing he remembers is fighting an Amusement park ride and a soft pair of lips kissing him just before passing out. He looks around the room to find what looks like a old hospital from the thirties. "~We couldn't say them, so now we just pray them, Words that we couldn't say…~" He sees the reborn Susie at his bedside playing an acoustic guitar, doing what she loved the most. A wave of memories flood Henry's mind of Susie performing. Then a wave of terror washes over him when he remembers she tried to decapitate him with a chainsaw.
"~Funny, aint it? Games people play
Scratch it, paint it, one in the same
We couldn't find them, so we tried to hide them
Words that we couldn't say...
It hurts don't it? Fool's on parade
Taint it, own it, chase it away
We couldn't make them, so we had to break them
Words that we couldn't say…~"
She suddenly plays her guitar in a Spanish style, looking at her reflection from the broken mirror shards on the floor. Instead of her new self, she sees the deformed twisted monstrosity she used to be. A inky black tear escapes the side of her face, repulsed by what she became. Then memories of her former humanity bombard her. The only thing she wants to do right now is to perform a song now that the voices in her head are gone.
"~Sometimes, baby we make mistakes
Dark and hazy, prices we pay
I sit here on my shelf, just talkin' to myself
Words that we couldn't say...
Someday maybe we'll make it right
Until that day, long endless nights
We couldn't save 'em, so now we just pray them
Words that we couldn't say…~"
She finished her song with a sad expression on her face, then she hears the sound of hands clapping. "Henry!" He hears Susie's voice is back to normal, no more demonic echo of two voices at once. before she threw herself into his arms. "I'm sorry, I wasn't myself when I hurt you!" She hugs him with black tears flowing down her face, just happy to see him safe with her new found sanity. "What kind of monster did I become!"
Henry lets the embrace continue on the grounds that he is still confused by Susie's sudden change of heart. Then he snaps back to whatever reality he has left and remembers she almost murdered him just hours ago. "So you're not trying to kill me anymore?" A sceptical Henry asks while trying to push her away, only to feel something soft and squishy in his hands. He glances down to find that he is squeezing her breasts. "Thirty years later and they still feel like I remember." He commented with a grin just before letting them go, his expression changed to one of regret. "I'm sorry I lied to you about my age back then. And I'm even more sorry I never saw you again!"
Susie winced from her chest being grabbed before smiling warmly. Then the whole studio rocks like a earthquake hit the place. Henry's bed is tipped over by the force of whatever that was. He lands on top of Susie, accidentally kissing her. "Oh shit sorry!" Susie can only smile with a gray blush on her face. "Alice is going to kill me!"
The roof above them becomes unstable, collapsing atop them. Wood and stone come rapidly towards them. "Henry lookout!" Susie flips the two of them over, the flesh on her arms melt back into ink. As the rubble hits them it gets cut in half in the flash of light, saving them both from being crushed. Susie stands with both her arms covered in writhing tentacles, her skeletal hands of her original humanity poke out from underneath. "Bendy and Alice must have started a fight!" She opens a ink portal on the wall, after her arms return to normal. "I need to get you out of here before those two destroy the whole studio."
~Elsewhere!~
Bendy pulls himself together after being punched through several walls, solidifying back into his bulky beast form. "You hit like my grandma!" With his massive arms he lifts himself off the ground, his fanged maw twisted into a twisted smile. He looks around the room to find Alice is nowhere to be seen. "Hiding again Alice? Smart idea, we don't want this fight to go off the rails!" *CHOO! CHOO!* A large shadow is suddenly cast above as the cartoon sound of a falling object is heard.
He looks up to see a train from the Bendy World storage level about to fall on top of him. Alice pokes her head out from the conductor's room wearing a conductor's hat, with a psychotic smirk. "ALL ABOARD hahahaha!!" Train tracks from out of the Ink as it moves toward the ink demon. As the tracks opens a ink-portal under his feet as he blocks the incoming train with his arms. *BOOM!* The Ink Demon gets slammed with the force of a speeding locomotive into the portal.
After exiting the portal falling down a massive pit with no bottom in sight Bendy finds himself being dragged under the train. Before a geyser of Ink shoots upwards, derailing the train from the wall. "I am going to RIP YOU IN HALF!!" *BOOM!* Alice pounded the train on him with her bare hands. A giant hand grabbed Alice by the leg as Bendy slams into the destroyed train as they continue to fall further down into the abyss punching each other.
~Elsewhere~
Susie and Henry step out of her Ink portal, to Henry's shock at the sight of the Exit door. "Quickly, we have to leave while she is distracted!" Henry looks around the first floor of the studio, especially the door he entered this studio from. Then it dawns on him that Alice could create ink portals this whole time, just like Susie and Bendy.
"Alice could have done that this whole time?!" The poster Alice signed falls out of his pocket, unwinding open. "To the love of my life and biggest fan -Alice"
