~With Harry~

Getting back to Malice's dressing room was thankfully easy and once he had handed over the poster and the syringe Malice then had Harry rest for a bit as after two run ins with the Ink demon would drain anyone. That and harry had wanted to see if he still had access to his magic taking a moment to dig through his bag Harry pulled out his wand and found that it didn't feel right in his hand any more.

'I had hope that I would still be able to use my wand.' Harry thought and sighed putting his wand away.

"Harry what were you doing?" Malice asked having walked in as he was putting his wand away.

"Oh well you see before you turned me into a toon, I was a wizard and I was seeing if I could still use my magic but it looks like I can't use my wand as it doesn't feel right in my hand anymore." Harry explained Malice raised an eye brow and thought back to the short conversation she had with Alison as she had come across her floating a box of supplies to her,

~flashback~

"What was that, Alison?" Malice asked watching wide eyed as a box of supplies floated down to Alison's hands.

"Oh, its magic." Alison said

"Magic? Did the ink machine give you that?" Malice asked

"No, I was born with it." Alison stated

"Normally I would use a wand but after well 'joey's offer' I found I couldn't use my wand any more but I have found that my halo can acted like a wand, I just don't need to use the wand movements, I just need the intent and the words." Alison explained

~flashback ends~

"You won't need your wand anymore Harry" Malice said harry just looked at her like she was mad… well madder than she is now.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked

"Alison and a few of the lost ones can use magic but they don't need to use a wand they merely need the intent and the words. Allison had explained that to me also your halo will be acting as your wand now but you don't need the wand movement." Malice said watching as Harry's eyes widen and after a minute or so, Harry in wonderment cast the light charm and his halo glowed like a spot light as a ring of pure white light surrounded him. After starring in amazement for a bit Harry cancelled the charm.

"This is amazing." Harry said in wonderment

"That it is but now we do need to finish getting the supplies as I would like to be rid of the madness that clouds my mind when Henry gets to my level." Malice said.

~with bendy and co.~

Fallowing Sammy the group of three spoke very little as they were all worried about making too much noise as the ink demon was known for hearing everything going on in the studio. Getting to the ritual room was easy it was getting to the place where Boris was became harder as the ink demon found them.

"Well, well, it looks like you are still changing the scripted Stine." The ink demon said lunging at the group causing them to scattered.

"Shit!" Henry shouted and the ink demons claws racked a crossed his back.

"Henry!" Bendy called as the ink demon grabbed a hold of him and threw him a crossed the room.

"No more Ink Demon. NO MORE!" Sammy said having picked up a broken piece of wood and swung it at the ink demon. The ink Demon screamed and the wood sunk into its flesh. Taking the opportunity Henry rushed to Bendy's side Picking him up and booking it to the exit calling to Sammy to fallow who swung once more and struck the Ink Demon once more, Causing the ink demon to slump over holding his stomach. Once the three of them were got through the boards that blocked the way with The Ink Demon right on there tail. Running through the hall's Henry holding Bendy and keeping Sammy somewhat in front of him. Managing to get to the room Sammy and Henry fell over and deeply breathing there was a sound of a can being kicked and Henry smiled.

"Boris." Henry said just as the room went dark.

"Henry!" Bendy cried just as he came too, Sammy helping Boris carry Henry to Boris's safe house.

~Back with Harry and Malice~

"All right my little earned boy I need you to head down to level 14 and collect Five ink Hearts, Now Norman sadly can't be saved I'll be going with you and helping you as Norman is much too strong." Malice said. Grabbing a tommy gun Malice led Harry to the elevator.

"You'll be shooting Norman?" Harry asked

"Yes unfortunately." Malice said with a sigh as the elevator headed down to the level. While they headed down Harry started to practice with his magic which came easer to him now that he was a toon-human hybrid. Malice watched Harry practice with him magic and thought back to while she was fixing/turning him into a toon.

~Flashback~

Malice was worried as the boy's vitelli's kept dropping, and the whispering of the ink was becoming louder again staggering backwards from the operating table Malice fought back agents the whispering of the Ink Demon that were telling her to kill the boy and use him to make herself beautiful again.

"NO! I WONT! THEIR A CHILD! ALICE WOULD NEVER! I WOULD NEVER HARM A CHILD! RAGH!" Malice shouted and screamed loud and long. And then the whispers went silent and instead there was something gentler, calming.

~I'll hold the demon's voice back please save my son.~ The voice said Malice took a few deep breaths, and continued working on the boy, closing up wounds, cleaning the cuts, and then she moved the operating table under one of the streams of ink along with the Nephilim template after a few minutes the ink finally covered the boy completely and then there was a scream a chocking scream but it wasn't emanating from the boy instead it was coming from the scar that was now pure white and closed up thanks to the ink. There was a black shapeless slug coming out of the scar; Malice acted quickly and grabbed the slug, placed it into a bottle of acetone and watched it wriggle and squirm, with one finally ear-piercing scream the slug was no more.

~Thank you ! $*% Thank you for saving my little boy.~ The voice said Malice was glad she was able to save the boy pushing the table out of the operating room Malice place the boy into her dressing room and waited for the ink and the template to work their magic.

~Flashback ends~

Malice cam back to the present just as the elevator stopped at Level 14.

"Ready to go?" Malic asked Harry nodded and the two left the elevator and entered the projectionist lair. The floor was covered in a foot of ink the walls had the old Bendy cartoon playing from other projectors haphazardly put up on to the rafters.

"NORMAN! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Malice called out shooing harry to hide her plane was simple keep Norman's "eye" on her and away from harry while he collected the hearts. With a gurgling roar the projectionist lumbered after malice as she shot him and ran, once they were out of sight Harry bolted into the ink looking as quickly as he could for the hearts, after dodging and ducking around corners when he hear Malice and Norman get closer to hem, he was able to find all five hearts and bolted back to elevator calling to malice that he had the hearts. Constant Gun fire and then a roar of defeat Malice came running back to elevator, practically diving into it just as the tommy gun faded back into ink.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked as the elevator began to ascend Malice nodded breathing heavily.

"I have everything I need to fix myself and the Burcher gang." Malice said.

"This proses will take a few hours to do Harry Do you think you can-!?" Malice started only to be interrupter by the screech of an owl.

"Hedwig?! How?! Oh never mind that it's good to see you girl." Harry said smiling just as a snow white owl flew into the elevator.

"How did an owl get in here?" Malice asked Harry just shrugged unsure himself. Looking Hedwig over Harry found a letter attached to her leg addressed to him form much to his surprise Bill Weasley

*Harry this is Bill Weasley writing, I'm one of Ron's older brothers. Myself several other curse breakers and Auroras are trying to free you, Henry Stine, and any other former Joey Drew Studio employs but we've run into a snag Joseph Drew a muggle somehow got ahold of Black magic and placed a time loop curse on the studio. But the key items he used are so well hidden or there in the studio that we can't get into the studio to remove them as the whole upper and front half of the studio has collapsed in on to itself. Ron sent Hedwig to me as a way to get you something to communicate with us with this letter there is a mirror all you have to do is say my name Bill Weasley while holding the mirror and I'll answer.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Bill Weasley*

"Well, that good as I'm fixing myself the Burcher gang you tell this Bill what has been going on." Malice said as the elevator stopped on to level nine and the two headed back to the dressing room where malice grabbed the hearts and the Burcher gang fallower her to another room. Once alone Harry looked at the mirror and called "Bill Weasley"
