Henry and Bertrum arrived to see everyone was back to a human. And that those he chose to give a second chance at life to were all here. Well, almost everyone. They would have to find Susie and Norman too. But the toons were still real though.
Boris turned and saw Henry, quickly getting up and trying to hug him. Only he went through him instead.
"Sorry buddy." Henry chuckled. "You guys can't touch me."
"Shame. I really wanted to hug you for what you did!" Boris replied.
"Yeah! Who would've thought our true creator was here all along!" Bendy replied, happily. "Now they're okay too!"
"T-The toons are real?!" Bertrum said, surprised. "And YOU'RE their true creator?!"
"Yep!" Henry nodded.
"Thank you, Henry!" Sammy said, standing up. "If it weren't for you, we'll probably still be stuck here. But… why are we alive?"
"Well, she's the reason I was able to do all of this." Henry said. "And I decided to let you guys and two others get a second chance at life."
"You mean…" Wally's eyes lit up.
"You get to enjoy this time period for the rest of your lives." Henry finished for him, making him bounce up in joy.
"Neat! Ah…" Wally kneeled back down. "I don't feel good…"
"Unfortunately I wasn't able to save you from being malnourished or sick. Just a few things like Thomas' hand." Henry said, sadly.
Thomas glanced down at his hand, not even realizing it was back to normal and that the robot arm was beside him.
"But don't worry." Henry continued. "We'll guide you out of the studio so you can quickly get to a hospital."
"Okay." Lacie nodded. "I think we're gonna need some help getting out."
"I also couldn't do anything about the nightmares you'll likely gain either. But you should be alright. The doctors nowadays should be able to help each of you." Henry replied.
As most sat and stayed where they were, happy to finally be human again, the toons talked to Henry, happy to see their true creator. Even though they couldn't touch him.
Jack, Wally, and Sammy stayed by Dani. Jack ended up leaning against the wall and pulled her into his lap and arms. Allowing her to lean her head against his chest. They were worried that she still wasn't waking up like Henry said she would.
"Henry? I thought you said… that Dani would be okay?" Wally turned to Henry when Dani made no signs of waking up.
"Oh right." Henry said before snapping his fingers.
The trio looked back at Dani to see the ink webs and ink in her eye start to fade. The ink dripping out of her mouth also faded away too. Now that her mouth was clean and her ankle was healed, Henry was able to bring her back properly.
The three couldn't help but jump when she suddenly started to move in Jack's arms. They could hear her start to whimper and tremble as her right foot started to kick. It was clear she was trying to wake up.
"Dani?" A voice called to her. "It's okay. Everything… is okay!"
"I know… but I'm tired." She muttered to herself.
If only Henry had warned her about the path she had to take to come back to life. It was exhausting! And she was already tired as it is. But she was close now. The voices were new and recognizable.
"I'm coming." Dani muttered again as she kept walking.
"Sorry kiddo. You have to do this on your own." Henry voice suddenly rang out in the air.
"That's fine. I'm close. I can feel the warmth of something now." Dani said.
Which is odd because the studio was freezing cold. But she couldn't tell if it was her body's warmth…or someone else's?
She could now feel someone holding her. So it was someone else's warmth she was feeling. A hand came up and wiped her tears as another familiar voice spoke.
"It's alright." The familiar voice with an accent said. "Open your eyes."
Her body relaxed as she weakly raised her hands and started to rub her eyes, the tears stopping. Finally, she did as she was told and opened her eyes to see three guys sitting by her, one of which was holding her.
She looked at them as her eyes focused and everything came back to her.
Dani instantly realized that she wasn't in pain any longer and that the cold sensation from the ink in her system was gone now.
"There. You're back now too! Don't worry about that ink." Sammy said, noticing how she was feeling her face. "It's all gone now."
Knowing this made her feel happy. If she didn't have to worry about the ink, then she might as well focus on something else. She looked around the room to see the toons, several other humans, and two ghosts with her too.
Deciding to focus on a few at a time, she looked back at the three that were sitting with her.
The one she knew immediately was Wally, due to his accent, had short, brown curly hair and green eyes. He was wearing overalls and was covered in ink but… he clearly had human skin again.
Another that she recognized as Sammy was half naked, spare his pants and suspenders. And she assumed that thanks to Henry, he and the others had their hair again. Sammy had blue eyes and dirty blond hair tied back in a low pony tail.
Jack, she knew from his hat, also had blue eyes with black hair. And was wearing a dress shirt and vest over it.
Dani couldn't tell from the others, but could from Sammy that he was malnourished and looked sick or something. Yet he was still quite buff.
"W-Wally?" She asked, hopeful, as she turned back to him.
"I don't know about you, but I'm ready to get out of here! Let's go!" Wally grinned with perfect human teeth.
Dani chuckled and rubbed her eyes again.
"Yeah… let's go…" Dani replied.
Jack set her down so they could give her a proper hug. Then he helped her to her feet so the others could hug her too.
Boris quickly ran over and nearly knocked her back down since he knew he could hug her if he couldn't hug Henry. Bendy, now much happier, came over and bounced into her arms. But she was still feeling tired so after a quick hug, she set him back down.
"Henry, what about all of those bodies?" Bertrum decided to ask.
Dani recognized his voice from earlier.
"They'll have to send the police back later. They won't believe you guys about being from the 40s but perhaps Joey had a photo album in his office?" Henry suggested.
"Maybe." Grant replied. "There has to be something in here that we can use as proof. Maybe there are some pictures in archives?"
"Could be." Henry said. "We'll have to look once we get you out."
"I could start looking now. To save time and all." Bertrum suggested.
"Okay. That works too. Come on, we better hurry and find Susie and Norman." Henry replied.
"They're back too!?" Sammy said, surprised.
"Yep. They deserved another chance too. Even after what they tried to do." Henry responded. "They should be around here somewhere."
"Can they see you too?" Lacie asked and Henry nodded. "Then can you find them and lead them to us? We can start heading upstairs ourselves."
"I suppose that is fine." Henry nodded.
"What about us, Henry?" Bendy asked, stopping him from disappearing.
"You can go home with them too." Henry replied.
"Are you serious?" Bertrum asked, perplexed.
"Yes. You'll have to figure out what to tell the police. But they can't stay here." Henry said. "Are you alright with that, Dani?"
"I honestly don't care as long as I can go home." Dani replied.
"Then head on up. I'll look for Susie and Norman. And Bertrum can start looking for some pictures." Henry said as he and Bertrum disappeared.
"This is going to take a while." Wally said, suddenly, after a few moments of silence between them.
"You can say that again." Dani said, internally groaning at that.
Might be the last chapter of the night. Everyone gets a happy ending :D
Susie won't be doing so well though.
