Chapter five

The first few things that he noticed as he was slowly waking up was the hot-red painful headache and the soreness throughout his body along with the slight ringing noise in his ears.

"Ugh..." he softly groan out as he clench his eyes tightly before opening them, blinking a few times to get rid of the blurriness to find himself laying on his stomach. Smacking his lips a bit, Cuphead slowly pushed himself up to his hands and knees before slowly moving his hand to his head, feeling around a bit before his fingers brushed against a slight crack. When he pulled his hand away, he saw that his fingers was covered in red, realizing that he was bleeding a bit. "At least it's not too bad" he mutters out before using the edge of his jacket to wipe the blood, cleaning the wound a bit before shakily got to his feet.

Soon he saw that he had passed out in the middle of the summoning circle but luckily the axe was beside him which he leaned down and picked it up.

'Can't stop now' Cuphead thought as he made his way to the door while ignoring the rest of the room, broke down the board that was blocking the door and stepped out of it.

Once out, Cuphead made his way to the staircase and started walking down, being careful and soon made it to the bottom. He noticed that his surrounding was a bit darker than before. 'Maybe the lights doesn't work as well' Cuphead thought with a frown before shaking his head and kept walking until he stopped, seeing that there was some kind of a shire with some small candles lit, bowls with something, he couldn't identify, and a small cut out of Bendy on the shelf. 'I don't know if it's creepy or not' he thought with a slight shiver before looking away and looked around the room.

He saw more coffins in the room which he quickly ignored it along with some wooden chairs and the room was filled with more candles. "Where is all these candles coming from?" Cuphead slightly asked before noticing a recorder and walked towards it. 'Might be more answer?' he thought before pushing the play button.

There was silence for a few seconds before another male voice was heard which for some reason, gave Cuphead chills.

'It 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.'

"In the darkness?" Cuphead slightly asked as he slightly eyed a small puddle of ink in the corner of the room.

'Those old songs. 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?'

"Okay...that's too creepy" Cuphead said with a shudder, "And he sounds really crazy" frowning a bit, guessing that the guy belongs to come sort of cult. "And Bendy is some sort of 'lord' to him" he slightly guessed.

"I said, can I get an amen"

Cuphead quickly turned around when he heard the voice, axe ready only to find no one. 'Who said that!?' he thought as he frantically looked around, realizing that it sounded like the guy in the recorder. 'How did he manage to sneak up on me and get away!' he quickly tighten his grip on the axe, feeling somewhere uneasy before shaking his head. "Can't think of that now..." he mutter out before making his way to the hallway, now alert.

As he walked passed another cut out of Bendy, Cuphead walked to the open doorway before stopping, seeing another hallway but was filled with stray wooden boards and ink that seem to reach up to his calves. Slightly clenching his jaws a bit, Cuphead took a deep breath before slowly stepping forwards and into the ink, slightly shivering a bit from the coldness and started to slowly walk forwards.

'Just nice and ste-' Cuphead reassured himself before quickly stopping and nearly jumped in surprise when he saw a person walk passed the doorway ahead of him. "W-Wait!" Cuphead called out before he could stop himself and walked a bit faster, finally making it to the other side and turn the corner to follow the person when he stopped.

'What the...' Cuphead was in shock as he was facing the dead end with the cut out and shelves that was filled with bacon soups. "How did he..." he started to ask before stopping himself, not wanting to give himself a headache. Shaking his head, Cuphead turned around and walked to the other side of the hallway before stopping once again by a metal gate.

"Mm..." Cuphead started to think before looking at the small box with a lever next to it and saw three lights flickering. "Maybe...there's a button to activate this to open the gate" he slightly guessed before sighing. "Great...another search party" he groan out before turning away. "Where the hell am I going to find them" he groan out before sighing, "I'll slowly make my way back to the recorder" Cuphead planned as he first made his way back to the shelves.

'Maybe there's one hidden' he thought as he started shuffling through the cans, placing some of them in his backpack. After he checked the first two shelves, Cuphead slightly crouch down to check the third and final shelf and moved some of the cans around before finding one of the buttons and pushed it. 'One down' he thought as he stood up before making his way to the ink-filled hallway and walked through it, making it to the other side.

Once back in the room, Cuphead started to look at every crook and cranny for the two buttons. Though it took him nearly ten minutes before he found them hidden in the volts boxes, slightly hitting himself on the forehead for not looking at them first before pushing them and soon made his way back to the metal gate.

Seeing the button not flickering, Cuphead soon pulled the lever down which caused the sound of groaning before seeing the gate slowly it was fulling open, Cuphead walked to the boarded-up doorway, cutting them down and stepped into the room.

"It's really dark in here" he slightly commented as he tried to look around the room, barely making it out but was able to see another recorder.

Blinking a bit, Cuphead walked up to it and pressed play which it was silence for a few seconds before playing and Cuphead realized that it was the same guy from before but more...sane.

'So first, Joey installs this ink machine over out heads. Then it begins to times last month, we couldn't even get out of our department because the ink had flooded the stairwell'

'Huh...so that machine caused those floods' Cuphead thought, recalling those staircases from before. 'I wonder what had happened to cause this guy to lose his mind?'

'Joey's solution? An ink pump to drain it periodically. ow I have this ugly pump switch right in my office. People in and out all day'

Cuphead slightly scrunches his nose at that, 'Man if I had something like that in my room, I would probably get so annoyed by everyone coming in and out of the room just to use the switch'

'Thanks Joey. Just what I needed. More distractions. These stupid cartoons songs don't write themselves, you know'

Cuphead can't help, but feel slightly bad for the guy and quickly guessed from all the recordings so far, the Joey guy seems to caused some major problems here.

Soon sighing out and his eyes managed to get used to the darkness of the room, Cuphead walked to what it appeared to be an exit though when he looked inside, he saw that the bottom of the staircase was flooded with ink, making him grimace a bit. "Just like that guy says" Cuphead commented as he turned away from the staircase, "And the switch to drain it is somewhere around here" and soon he saw a lever.

Thinking that it might open something, Cuphead gripped it and pulled it down before hearing something open at a distance, but when he looked out, he saw that the room was lit up. "Well that's one problem solved" he said to himself before stepping back into the room and saw that there was something written on the wall next to the recorder.

'Music Department'

'Mm? I guess that makes sense now' he thought, recalling the guy saying about making songs.

But as he stepped into the middle of the room, Cuphead suddenly let out a gasp when something burst in front of him and before he could react, he was harshly tackled down to the ground.

"WHAT!?"

And here is the cliffhanger xD

Though, I'm sure that some of you will realize what happens next

Comment down of what you think so far and yeah
