Chapter six

"WHAT!?" Cuphead yelled out in a panic as he quickly held out his left arm, stopping whatever that was attacking him and moved his right arm to the side, frantically reaching for the axe that was knocked out of his grip when the monster attacked him.

"Ack!" He quickly move his head to the side when the monster chomped down, barely feeling it graze his cheek, feeling the monster slowly overpowering him. 'Come on come on!' he mentally yelled out as he quickly became more panicked every time his fingers barely touched the handle of the axe, trying to grab it.

As he felt a slight sting on his cheek, something instantly clicked in his mind before forming his right hand in a shape of a gun. Soon he quickly pointed the index finger on the monster's chest and pulled the 'trigger', shooting a light blue beam through the monster's chest, causing it to dissolve into ink.

Cuphead quickly crawled backwards a bit before moving to his feet while spatting out the ink that managed to get in his mouth and grabbed the axe off of the ground. But before he could relax, he saw more of the ink monsters making their way towards him. "Damn it!" he cursed out before suddenly swinging his axe when one of the monster charged at him, destroying it and soon enough he started to use both his axe and his make-shifted gun to take them down with the adrenaline pumping through his veins.

"AHH!" Cuphead let out a war cry as he swung the axe down on the last monster. As soon as the last monster dissolved, he heard a faint clicking sound before some kind of music started to play along with someone opening which he quickly saw that it was a metal gate, that he didn't see, opening up.

Heavily breathing, Cuphead soon leaned against the wall before sliding down and sitting on the ground as he started to feel the soreness and a slight pain throughout his body. "How did that..." he trailed off as he used the end of the sleeve to wipe away a bit of ink off of his cheek as he was regaining his breathing.

A few minutes had passed and Cuphead finally regained his breathing before moving to his feet while picking the axe up. He then decided to go to the right side of the room before instantly seeing a door as he was making his way to the staircase. Curious, Cuphead walked to the door and swung it open.

"Huh?" he blinks a few times when he saw a pool table in the middle of the room and it was already set up to play. "Must be a break room" Cuphead said before shaking his head and closed the door before making his way to the staircase. It soon led him to a small room with a open window which had a small projector, a side table and a wooden chair. "Wow" he breathed out as he looked out the window, seeing a bigger room below him. He could see multiple wooden chairs alone with different instruments and two microphones hanging above the chairs.

"This is where they make music" he said with a slight smile before looking away, but decided to turn on the projector and when he did, it turned on to reveal a small animation which was in repeat. He slightly laughed at the animation, "Cute" he said before turning the protector off before looking away when he instantly saw a recorder. Soon he reached towards it and pushed play.

It was silence for a few seconds before playing, revealing to be another unknown male voice.

'Every day the same strange thing happens. I'll be up here in my booth, then band will be swinging, and suddenly Sammy Lawrence just comes marching in and shuts the whole thing down. Tells us all to wait in the hall'

'Sammy Lawrence' Cuphead thought, slightly wondering who it was, 'Maybe it was the one that makes the music'

'Then I hear him. He starts up my projector, and he dashes from the projector booth and down to the recording studio like the little devil himself was chasing behind'

Cuphead slightly laughed at the saying.

'Few seconds later, the projector turns off. But Sammy, he doesn't comes out for a long time. This man is weird. Crazy weird'

'Was he crazy before all of this?' Cuphead asked himself.

'I have half a mind to talk to Mr. Drew about all this. But then again, I have to admit. Mr Drew has his own peculiarities'

"There's that name again" he talked to himself, frowning a bit before shaking his head, deciding to store the information to the back of his mind before walking out of the small room to make his way to the left side of the room.

Once there, Cuphead opened the door and entered the recording studio, looking around. "The room looks bigger now that I'm here" he commented while stepping inside and looked at each instrument, sometimes playing it and listening to each sound. Cuphead was having a bit of fun with playing each instrument, but when he made it to the piano, he suddenly saw another recorder leaning against the wall.

"Looks like it was placed there instead" Cuphead couldn't help by say as he crouch down and pushed play.

It was silence for a few seconds before playing, catching Cuphead by surprise when it was a female voice instead of a male voice.

'It may only be my second month working for Joey Drew, but I can already tell I'm going to love it here. People really seem to enjoy my Alice Angel voice. Sammy says she may be as popular as Bendy some day'

"Wait...so there was someone else beside Bendy?" Cuphead asked himself, frowning a bit since he couldn't remember ever seeing anyone else beside Bendy when he was younger then again, he didn't think that he saw Boris before as well.

'These past few weeks I have voiced everything from talking chairs to dancing chickens. But this is the first character I have really felt a connection with. Like she's as a part of me. Alice and I, we are going places'

'Okay...really weird' he thought before shaking his head and standing up. Deciding that he checked everywhere, Cuphead soon walked out of the room and soon made his way to the other door that was blocked by a metal gate.

"Hopefully there's some clues to keep going" he said to himself as he started walking through the hallway before stopping at the first turn. Seeing the light flickering at the end of the hallway, his curiosity got the better of him and soon walked through the small hallway before turning to the right but quickly stopped when he saw the beginning of a staircase and a flood of ink.

"There must be something important down there" Cuphead mutters out as he quickly looked up at the sigh above the staircase, reading it.

'Infirmary'

'What?' he thought, slightly surprised that there was an infirmary in an animation studio. 'Why would there be one here?' he asked himself before shaking his head and started to walk away. 'I shouldn't think about that, I just need to find a way to drain the ink'

Seeing a closed door, he walked towards it and swung it open to reveal an old organ piano at the end of the small room. "Mm...okay now that just weird to have here" Cuphead mentioned before closing the door and kept walking.

Soon he saw a window which revealed to be someone's office and when he got close, he saw that one of the pipes that was peaking out of the wall was cracked, spilling the ink against the door. "Damn it" he mutter out before looking through the window, simply seeing a desk and some shelves. "There is it!" Cuphead said with a sigh of relief, seeing a pump switch inside. "Mm!? Then this must be Sammy's office" he quickly noticed it as he pulled away from the window and stared at the door.

"That spill jet looks a bit too strong" he groan a bit before sighing, "Now where is the switch to drain it"

Then he saw another recorder resting on the shelve which he made his way there, being careful of the ink spill and pushed play. He slightly smiles when he recognized the funny voice.

'So I go to get my dust pan from the hall closet the other day and guess what? I can't find my stupid keys. It's like they disappeared into thin air or something'

Cuphead perked up a bit, 'Keys'

'All I can think of is that they must have fallen into one of the garbage cans as I was making my rounds last week.'

"There's a lot of garbage cans here" he groan out, knowing that it will take a while to search through every one of them.

'I just hope nobody tells Sammy. Because if he finds out I lost my keys again. I'm out of here'

Rubbing his head a bit and when he turned around, Cuphead instantly saw another door with a sign that says 'Closet'. "Mm? Okay I found the closet, now I just need to find those keys" he sigh out as he looked away.

"Now where to look first?"

Also I'm trying to make them long so yeah
