The room was dark and cold from being flooded with ink. It was high enough to be just under Dani's knees. But there were candles lit around a… cage… that's sitting on a table in the middle of the room.

Dani shuddered from the cold, which made her body feel even colder due to the ink in her, as she hobbled her way to the table.

Something was forcing her to go to the table. Almost like she was in a trance. Lacie, Grant, and Shawn, stayed close to her in case she would fall.

She let out a shaky breath as she continued limping up to the table, unsure of what was inside of it. It was black and small. A tiny Searcher, perhaps? But… Joey couldn't of been crazy enough to sacrifice kids…

At least, she hoped he wasn't crazy enough to do that. All she knew was that the figure was what she heard and was still hearing cry.

The dark figure didn't move as she approached him. He kept his back to her and sat with his knees against his chest.

Now that she was closer, Dani saw his black…horns…? Could this be… but how? Joey acted like he didn't exist…

"B-Bendy?" Dani stuttered, kneeling down and keeping her arms on the table, watching him carefully.

"W-What do you want-" Bendy stopped when he realized that wasn't the Alice that was keeping him there.

The angel had been torturing him for who knows how long. Keeping him locked up like an animal. All to get revenge on the guy that claimed to be his creator when he reality…he wasn't.

Now Joey thinks he didn't succeed in bringing him to life when he actually did. But he didn't stick around to wait for him to wasn't an employee-turned-toon. Nor was the perfect versions of Boris or Alice. They have parts of an employee in them but the actual employee became a monster.

Alice has Susie in her. After Susie appeared the way that she did, Alice came out of the ink while Joey was dragging her to another room to lock her up in. Like how he did with the other employees. She ran and hid from him, not wanting to know what he would do if he saw her.

Then Boris came after Thomas was dragged away. If Joey bothered sticking around, he would see the toons come up too. Like Alice, he also ran and hid from him.

Finally, Bendy came while Joey was hiding Wally. He ran and hid for a while before Susie found him and in a fit of anger, locked him away and had been torturing him ever since as a monster version of Alice Angel.

Each one has a trait or two inside of them like the employee that was used to create them. Alice has Susie's voice, her original one, and her smart mind. Boris is especially handy now thanks to Thomas. While Bendy has Wally's charm and loyalty. Luckily he didn't gain Wally's forgetfulness.

Fearfully, Bendy turned to see Dani looking at him with the others behind her. He turned around fully, staring at her.

"You're not that angel!" Bendy said, surprised.

"I'm not. Was that demented Alice the one that was keeping you here?" She asked and Bendy nodded.

"Please get me out before she comes back!" Bendy pleaded, grabbing onto the bars separating them.

"She's not coming back any time soon." Dani replied, raising her hand to open the cage.

"She's not? Is she gone then?" Bendy asked.

"As far as I know, yes." Dani said, opening the cage.

She then fell back onto her ass when Bendy jumped out and knocked her down, hugging her.

"Oh thank goodness!" Bendy let out a happy noise.

"Well, I guess you can come with us too." Lacie smiled down at the little devil. "Can't exactly leave you here."

"Please don't! I-I don't want to be alone!" Bendy whined.

"Then let's get out of here." Grant said, helping Dani back up after she set Bendy down.

"Who are you fellas?" Bendy asks. "I take it you used to work here? Well, except you, doll." He looked up at Dani.

"I'm Lacie, that's Grant and Shawn, and this is Dani. We're trying to find some other employees then we're going to get her out of here." Lacie said as they walked out into the hallway.

"Ah I see. I take it that's short for 'Danielle?" Bendy asks and she nodded.

"Uh huh." She grabbed onto Lacie again to help her walk.

"So uh… where's my fake creator at?" Bendy decided to ask as they started walking down the hall.

"Looking for some book." Dani replied as he walked beside her and Lacie.

"Oh. Is that why your neck is…yah know…?" Bendy asked.

"Is it getting worse?" Dani asked.

"No. Looks about the same. He never said a spell or anything right?" Lacie questioned.

"No. He needed that book. He just put ink in me." She replied.

"Good. That Satanic ink should only do this to you." Lacie said.

"So…I don't have to worry about turning into a monster? I just have to deal with ink webs going up my neck and the right side of my face?" Dani asks.

"Right." Lacie nodded. "As long as he never says a spell around you, you should be okay."

"That's a relief." She replied. "I just wish I had the energy to have an actual reaction…"

"Where are we going?" Bendy asks.

"Trying to find our safe house. And her friends too." Grant replied. "Once there she can get some rest."

"Ah." Bendy nodded. "Hopefully that angel is gone for good."

"She should be." Dani replied. "Haven't seen her for a long while. What all did she do to you? And how come Joey acted like you didn't exist?"

"Because she's been torturing me since the beginning out of revenge for what he did." Bendy said. "He never saw me once. And I haven't see much outside of that room."

"Sorry to hear that, honey. But you should be safe now. Once we get her out, you can stay with us and our perfect Alice. Maybe her perfect Boris can stay too." Lacie replied.

"I-I'll like that." Bendy smiled. "I'll like to see them again."

"You will soon." Lacie said.

"Now works too." Thomas said, as they came through a door with a stairwell. "We finally found you!"

"Thank god." Dani gave a small smile before frowning. "Have you seen Sammy or Jack?"

"We're right here." Sammy said, surprised that she was worried about him as they came through the door behind the others.

"Found them while looking for you. Apparently they hid inside of a wall and lost Bendy that way!" Wally added.

"Here." Thomas handed her the cane.

"Thanks." She said, taking it and letting go of Lacie.

"We also kept these safe for yah!" Boris said, handing her, her phone and mp3, which she promptly put inside her pocket.

"Thank you. Can we find a place to rest?" Dani asks. "Then we can start our way upstairs. Before Joey comes looking for me again."

"You ran into Joey!?" Thomas asks, surprised.

"And you found the perfect Bendy!?" Allison said, kneeling down.

Bendy yelped and hid behind Grant's inky legs. Boris tilted his head, confused and worried about the little demon. This whole time he thought he was the only perfect toon.

"Don't worry. Allison won't hurt you." Dani said.

"A-Are you sure?" Bendy asks, inky tears forming in his pie eyes.

"Yep." She said as Lacie and Grant introduced themselves as well as Shawn too since he couldn't talk.

"And we found this little guy in a cage. Apparently that demented Alice has been torturing him this whole time." Lacie said.

"Oh how awful!" Allison frowned, understanding why Bendy was so afraid of her. "Don't worry, Bendy, I won't hurt you."

"I-If you say so." Bendy says, still hiding behind Grant.

"Come on, let's head to our safe house. The perfect Alice is waiting there." Grant said, leading the way.
