Unleashed
Henry immediately crumpled to his side, knocked out cold from Tom's robotic fist. Seeing his Creator slumped on the ground, blood running down the side of his face, caused something inside Bendy to snap. All his negative emotions, his rage, his hatred, and his bloodlust, that he'd been struggling to keep contained, burst forth like a waterfall, filling his entire being. His body transformed immediately, becoming tall and lanky. Ink dripped down his face, covering both his eyes and leaving only his wide grin full of sharp teeth visible. His fingers grew into deadly claws, his tail melted away completely. His wings became even more insubstantial and looked far more ragged, barely distinct from the ink shadows that flooded the room.
He wasn't Bendy anymore or even the Ink Devil… he was the Ink Demon. And how dare that wolf attack what was his! How dare he! Well… the Ink Demon would just have to remind that stupid dog why you never messed with what was his!
The Ink Demon growled and lunged at the partial wolf who was quickly backing away from him. Something slammed into the Ink Demon from behind, knocking him over in his currently unbalanced state. The Ink Demon quickly rolled onto all fours into a crouched stance to recover and glanced up in time to see Allison slash at him with her sword. He wasn't able to move out of the way quickly enough, getting a deep cut in his side. The Ink Demon hissed in pain and swiped at Allison, but she was already jumping back out of his reach, causing his claws to only slash air.
So the angel wanted to protect her dog? No matter… the Ink Demon had no problem reminding her why it was foolish to stand against him. Why he was the most feared being in the Studio.
Rising to his full height, the Ink Demon growled and lunged for the angel. Allison brought her sword up to defend herself, but the Ink Demon was prepared for that and grabbed the sword. Using one hand to yank the sword from her grip and tossing it aside, Allison was left monetarily vulnerable which the Ink Demon took advantage of by striking out with his other hand. The angel screamed in pain as the Ink Demon's claws cut into her chest, but the Ink Demon didn't even flinch at the sound. He grabbed onto her throat, lifting her into the air before throwing her across the room, her body knocking over several pieces of furniture before slamming into the wall.
With that distraction out of his way, the Ink Demon turned his attention back to the object of his rage. The wolf was apparently eager to die as he was charging at the Ink Demon, most likely trying to avenge the injured angel. The Ink Demon didn't react as the wolf's ax buried itself in his shoulder, grabbing Tom's robotic arm in a vice grip while plunging his other hand into the wolf's chest. The Ink Demon reached beyond the physical and latched onto the soul within.
The Ink Demon planned to rip out the wolf's soul and devour it whole. That would teach the stupid dog the cost of attacking what was his… of harming his Creator…
His Creator…
Henry…
Dad…
The rage and bloodlust drained out of Bendy as he realized what he was doing. He was about to kill Tom, someone he usually considered family. And even though everything inside of him screamed and howled that he should finish off the partial wolf for what he had done to what was precious to the Ink Demon, Bendy knew his Creator would not want him to do this. Henry would not want him to cross that line, to become a true monster, for his sake.
Letting out a panicked whine, Bendy released Tom's soul and removed his hand from the wolf's chest. Bendy stumbled back, desperately forcing himself back into his half toon state. He needed to make sure he didn't fall under the Liar's control and being as toon as possible helped him with that. But while he was stronger at resisting the Liar's influence in a mostly toon form, he was vulnerable to the now much taller partial wolf.
Tom recovered far quicker than should be possible for someone who nearly had his soul ripped out, so Bendy was unprepared for his wing to be grabbed by Tom's robotic fist. Now Bendy had never really pondered over the anatomy of his wings, as they were made of ink and magic like the rest of him. He wasn't even sure his body had bones most of the time let alone his wings which seemed more like solid shadows than anything else. But something in them defiantly snapped and shattered as Tom crushed it in his strong robotic grasp.
Bendy screeched in pain, tears streaming down his face as he weakly tried to reach behind for the metallic limb in an attempt to pry his wing free. Bendy screeched again as Tom lifted him up by the crushed wing still clenched in his grasp and tossed him aside. Bendy crashed into the wall, hard enough to damage his good wing and sending waves of agony through the crushed one. Bendy slumped to the ground in a pained dazed, every twitch of his wings sending renewed pain rocking through his body.
The sounds of footsteps made Bendy push past the pain to lift his head to see what was going on. Both Tom and Allison were up and moving, but they weren't coming towards the fallen demon. Instead, Bendy realized with horror, they were approaching the still unconscious Henry.
No! Bendy could not let the Liar get his hands on the Creator! He had to do something!
With a surge of desperation and power, Bendy stretched out with his hand. His inky shadows shot forward from underneath him directly towards Henry. Allison and Tom stepped back in surprise at seeing the Creator suddenly covered and were shocked to see his body start to sink into the shadows. They tried to lunge forward and grab him, but it was too late.
Henry was gone.
