Happy late Valentines Day! Hope you had a good one! About 2-3 more chapters to go!

Chapter 12 -

As quickly as they could, the two rushed to the Ink Machine.

Dani took the book and placed it on the desk inside the room. Fortunately there was already a pentagram and bowl there on the floor. Now all she had to-

"D-Dani!" Wally stuttered.

She looked up from the ax she was looking at to see ink webs along the walls. Why now?

"Wally, you got to keep him distracted!" Dani replied. "I have to be the one to do this."

"But-" Wally backed away as Ink!Bendy walked into the room.

They gave a glance to each other before Wally sighed.

"Okay. Please hurry." Wally said.

"I'll try." Dani replied as she double checked the page and held her arm over the bowl.

For a moment, she cringed before making a cut and holding her arm over the bowl, watching her blood fall into it.

Dani glanced back when she heard a growl to see Wally holding a pipe and doing his best to keep his attention off of her.

Once enough blood was in the bowl, she grabbed a old washcloth nearby and wrapped it around her arm before starting to say the spell.

"NoO!" A growl came again.

"Huh?" Dani glanced behind her again to see Bendy running towards her.

She yelped as she hit the deck to keep him from pounding her in the face.

"YoU aRen'T SaaViNG tHem!" Bendy spoke in a demonic tone.

"I am though." It was Dani's turn to growl. "They've been trapped here long enough…Joey."

Bendy's grin widened larger, if it was even possible.

"And who is going to stop me? Not a certain janitor over there." Bendy said in Joey's voice and motioned with his head towards Wally who was standing with the pipe and shaking.

"Why are you doing this, Joey?" Dani asked.

"A few reasons… immorality, bringing my toons to life, and regaining the ability to walk." Joey replied.

"What? How'd you lose your ability to walk?" She asked.

"Got sick." Joey said. "Was bound to a wheelchair for the most part. Though I was able to use a cane sometimes."

"Ah."

"Now… what to do with you?" Joey chuckled, kneeling down. "I could turn you into a toon too! Wouldn't that be fun?"

"No." Dani said, still on the ground and looking up at him. "Not at all."

"Not like you have much of a choice." Joey shrugged and pointed to her arm. "You either become a toon or bleed out. I don't care which one you decide to go with."

"N-No." Wally said from the other side of the room, making them turn towards him.

"What was that, Franks? Or should I say Boris?" Joey asked.

"I said NO! I'm not gonna let you end her life too!" Wally said taking a few steps forward.

"Oh really? What are the two of you going to do?" Joey questioned, walking up to him as Dani sat on her knees, keeping pressure on her arm.

"We're going to free everyone!" Wally said as he and Dani noticed something that Joey didn't. "Meanwhile… they're going to take care of you for us." He pointed to the floor.

"Huh?" Joey looked down as a few searchers popped up and grabbed at his legs. "GeT oFF!"

"Dani, Now!" Wally said. "We'll keep him from you!"

Dani nodded and got back up, double checking to make sure they had everything. Bowl…pentagram…blood…room where at least some of the murders took place… that was everything! Now…

"Dani wait." Joey said suddenly as the searchers kept their tight grip.

She turned back to him to see him struggling to get up.

"I…I'm sorry. Please don't do this. I-I don't want to go to Hell or anything!"

She glanced at Wally as Joey made a sniffling noise before shaking her head at Joey.

"Yet you were fine with murdering like 200 people for selfish reasons and trapping THEM in this Hell for oh so long." Dani said.

"You got to understand…my illness… it was KILLING me!" Joey said.

"People die. That's no excuse for what you did to everyone else." Dani said.

"But… I could make you immortal too!" Joey grinned but frowned right after as she gave a small laugh.

"Please… like I wanna be trapped here…" Dani rolled her eyes.

"There has to be something!" Joey said, still struggling to get up.

"All I want is for everyone here to be set free. With that said…" She turned back to the book and began reading.

"NOoOoo." Joey's demonic voice came back.

"It's over, Joey!" Wally said, watching him try to get up but the Searchers kept stopping him.

"ThIIIs is…n't ThE END!" Joey snarled.

Dani ignored him as she kept reading. As she got closer to the end, she began hearing the searchers and what sounded like Wally and Joey screaming in pain.

Not wanting to look, she covered her ears and continued on.

Then she got to the part about the eight that get to live. And she had to make a quick decision. Save a few or let them all rest in peace? She wasn't sure if she could survive and get out on her own.

Dani needed someone to guide her back out. She also couldn't say goodbye to those she had started to grow attach to. Not like this. Not when they had a second chance at life and could learn more about the 21st century outside with her. Hell, maybe she could befriend a few others…

They'll have a lot of medical and mental problems but… her mind was already made up.

"Revive Wally Franks, Thomas Conner, Grant Cohen, Shawn Flynn, Norman Polk, Toon!Bendy, Susie Campbell and… Sammy Lawrence!"

With the last of the eight names said, a dark smoke came out from the bowl and started flying around the Searchers, Wally, and Joey.

Falling to her knees, she could only watch and cover her ears as she heard them scream and cry out.

'Fuck! Fuck! This was a bad idea!' Her mind yelled as tears streamed down her cheeks.

She shouldn't of said any names and hoped she could make it out before bleeding to death…

Finally, she closed her eyes, unable to bear the sight that she couldn't see anyway. Dani began shaking with the room. It felt like a earthquake!

Then, like as quickly as it started, it stopped. But she didn't dare open her eyes. She didn't want to see what could be laying in front of her.

Even when the floor creaked as someone slowly made their way over to her and kneeled down, she kept her eyes shut.

"Dani?" A voice called. "It's okay. Everything… is okay!"

Two hands landed on hers that were still covering her ears as she trembled in front of whoever it was. She just hoped it wasn't Joey. Then her hands were taken away from her ears. Wait a minute… two hands?

"It's alright." The familiar voice with a accent said, gently wiping away her tears. "Open your eyes."

Dani did as she was told, staring at the young man in front of her. He had short brown curly hair and green eyes. He was still wearing overalls and was covered in ink but… he clearly had human skin again.

"W-Wally?" She asked, hopeful.

"I don't know about you, but I'm out of here! Let's go!" Wally grinned with perfect human teeth.

Dani chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'm so happy to see it worked! A-Are you… hurt?" She asked as he returned the hug.

"It hurt changing back but… I seem to be okay now!" Wally said.

Dani gasped as she looked from his back to what was behind him. Joey and a few other bodies, the searchers, were there. But they weren't moving and were clearly human again too.

"Hard to look at, huh?" Wally said as she sat back and nodded. "Well, they seem to finally be resting in peace… except Joey anyway."

"We need to get the police. That way their bodies will finally be put to rest too." Dani said. "I doubt they'll believe us about what actually happened… but we'll figure something out."

"Yeah…maybe we can send them back for a photo album? I think there was one in Joey's office. It can be proof." Wally said as they helped each other back up to their feet.

"That works." Dani nodded. "Come on, let's go."

She made sure the towel was wrapped tightly before they walked out of the room, looking back to make sure Joey was gone one last time, before heading down the hall.

"Let's try and find the safe house. The others might be there." Dani suggested and Wally gave her a puzzled look.

"Others?"

"You… the few that we were with at the safe house, toon!Bendy included, Susie, Norman, and… Sammy. You're the eight I decided to save."

"Why… thank you. But why us?" Wally asked.

"I don't know… it just would've been hard finding my way out without a few people to guide me." Dani replied.

"That makes sense." Wally nodded. "So the others should be around here somewhere."

"Wonder what they're up to?" Dani asked and Wally shrugged.

- Meanwhile -

"W-What was that?" Bendy asks once the screaming stopped and the strange smoke disappeared.

He looked around the room and saw… a lot of bodies. But… they were human again! Even his Butcher Gang were human again too! And Alice… he glanced over to where she was. And saw a young woman in her place. Bendy let out a happy noise.

"They did it!" Bendy jumped up.

"Did what?" Thomas asked as he sat up and rubbed his head.

He pulled his hand away and stared at it when he realized it wasn't a glove or anything.

"I-I…" Thomas trailed off.

"You're human again! We found a book with a reverse spell and other things so the other two must of succeeded with it!" Bendy said, running up to him.

"I can't believe it." Thomas said, still staring at his hands.

"Does anyone else have a headache?" A Irish voice asked.

"Me." Another voice answered.

"Grant? Shawn?" Thomas asked, looking at them.

"Thomas?" They asked in unison before their eyes widened as they looked him up and down and then themselves.

"She must of decided to pick you guys and Wally to be the ones to be revived! And… me too! I'm still here!" Bendy jumped up and down.

"We're human again!" Shawn grinned.

"Where are those two at?" Grant asked.

"We said to meet back at the safe house so… let's go there!" Bendy said as the guys nodded.

"I think we all need to give that lassie a hug for this!" Shawn said.

"Hm hmm." Bendy nodded. "Especially since she cut herself for this."

"What?" Grant asked. "What do you mean?"

"She needed to use her blood and pour it into a bowl to set us free so… she's probably going to have a cut." Bendy said.

"A large one most likely! Especially if she needed to put it in a bowl. Come on, we all should go to the hospital anyway. Quicker we find them the quicker we'll finally leave." Grant replied.

As the guys and toon headed out, they heard a voice call them back.

"Please… I'm sorry… take me with you…" A strained and tired voice begged. "…Won't hurt… want to see grass… the sky… sun… anything outside again."

They turned back and saw Susie get up.

"Susie, you're back too!" Thomas said as she stood on her feet.

"Please help…" She said, holding her arms. "Won't… I just wanna leave…"

"Then come on." Shawn said, taking a step towards her. "We need to go find Wally and Dani then we'll all finally leave."

"I'm sorry." She choked out a sob. "Couldn't control…myself… I-I would never… never…"

"We know." Grant said. "Everything is back to normal. Now come on."

All she could do was nod as she followed them out the door, feeling tired, ashamed, and disappointed in herself.
