Warning: Uh...a little bit of sexy demon? not any explicit but just to warn you, Ink Demon be sultry. fans face with her hand.
Izuku takes another breath to calm her head before she shakes her head. She can't just stay out in the open, she just couldn't stay here. "Right now, I need to find those five pictures," Goal in mind she looks around, spotting one picture on an animation desk. Ignoring the Lost One hanging, with its head stuck in a bag she went and grabbed it, carefully placing it into her bag.
"My ink swells and boils," Izuku freezes in place, hearing the Ink Demon once more, "It consumes. I am the Ink Demon," hunching her shoulders she went around the room, searching for each picture.
"This realm is mine," Izuku bites at her lip grabbing another picture but stills when darkness begins to creep up on her. Looking down at her hooves she sees that it wasn't coming from her. Panicking, she looks around before diving down and crawling into a vent just in time as the sound of a deep rumble and the clacking of hooves against wood echoes in her ears.
"You were reborn from it. You belong to it," Izuku turns around, crouching down on her knees, tail curling around her as she gets her first look at the Ink Demon.
He was tall, covered in black ink that dripped down his form, his horns were more animal like than his cartoon self. His torso was bulky with spikes emerging from his back and parts of his shoulders. His teeth, which opened slightly, as if he was tasting the air, were almost like a human's. They even had gums.. His hands were almost like hers. With his left hand being almost practically gloved but both were large claws. Swishing behind him was a devil's tail that you see in classic cartoons, with the arrowhead-like tip.
He looks around, Izuku wondering how with the ink dripping down his face, covering his eyes. He then chuckles, "Now, why don't you come out of hiding? There is no need to fear me, for you are my gift from the Dark Puddles. You, who the Machine has given my form, have no need to be afraid. You belong to me,"
He stays there, waiting before he growls, his tail whipping in anger as he walks off. Izuku stayed in the vent, until the shadows finally disappeared. Crawling out, her body trembling, she quickly scampers out of the room.
Looking around the room, crawling through vents, with her heart beating in her chest madly she grumbles when she only finds two more pictures. She did find one picture of Bendy but she knew it wasn't the one she needed. And the way Bendy kept changing poses on the little piece of paper made her quickly run away.
"How is this place so big?" Izuku mutters as she looks at the sign that said she was now in the Music Department. Her eyes narrow, "Its really dark in here," she presses her hand against the wall but jumps when a voice starts speaking. Pulling her hand back Izuku sees that she had accidentally pressed on an audio log.
"So first, Joey installs this Ink Machine over our heads. Then it begins to leak. Three times last month, we couldn't even get out of our department because the ink had flooded. That sure made the tourists happy.
Joey's solution? An ink pump to drain it periodically. Now I have this ugly pump switch right in my office. People in and out all day.
Thanks, Joey. Just what I needed. More distractions. These stupid cartoon songs don't write themselves, you know,"
"An office," Izuku mutters to herself before she heads down the hall. To her delight, the picture was in the office, she was able to see it through the glass window. The only problem was, "The massive leak in front of the door," she groans, tail lashing out as she stares at the pipe that was spilling so much Ink. ". I just need to stop the ink from flowing I could open the door,"
Looking around for any clues she sees an Audio Log hanging on the shelf. Grabbing it she hits play, listening to its contents.
"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.
All I can think of is that they must have fallen into one of the garbage cans as I was making my rounds last night. I just hope nobody tells Sammy. Because he finds out that I lost my keys again, especially to the closet that had the pass code to the room where one of the values to stop the ink was in, I'm outta here.
Izuku looks behind her, seeing the closet. Going to it she curses under her breath when the door wouldn't budge. Sighing, she headed around the department, digging through trash cans to look for the keys when dark shadows emerged again. Eyes widening she looks around, her heart beating when she sees no vent to hide away in but a barrel with a massive hold in the side. Grimacing, knowing it wasn't the best place to hide, she crouches down, squeezing into it.
"Izuku~," her eyes widened, stomach churning at the Ink Demon knowing her name. "Come out, come out wherever you are~." His every step made the floorboards creaked and her body stills when he stopped right in the front of the barrel she was in.
"There you are~" that sentence was her only warning before his tail wrapped around her ankle, pulling her out from the barrel. She grunts as she is pinned to a wall, her eyes closing because of the force.
Her trembles stop when she felt hot breath on her neck before something wet was sliding up her neck to her cheek. Opening her eyes, Izuku saw that it was the Ink Demon's tongue, black and slimy just like the ink that covered him.
"Beautiful," Izuku's eyes widened, her face burning as she shivered when he traced a finger down her side, the other hand easily holding her up against the wall by wrapping around her stomach. He purrs, the loud sound echoing and thrumming in her ears, "and I bet even more when the Dark Puddles truly take hold. I'm truly being rewarded, aren't I? After all my years of following the script? With such a precious gift such as yourself?" With a rumble he leans down and nuzzles the crook of her neck, Izuku gulping feeling like something was lodged in her throat.
He then stills, the purrs stooping. Silence rang through her ears before a loud growl erupts from the Ink Demon. "Who hurt you?" His guttural growl makes Izuku look over her shoulder. Her eyes widened seeing that her shirt (luckily not one of her funny shirts that have pants written on it) had fallen off her shoulder a bit, revealing a burnt handprint on her skin.
Izuku knew it was only six months, but to her it had felt like only yesterday she was in school and Bakugou threatened her to give up on her dream of going to the U.A Guild. The Ink Demon rumbles, "Its seems my Little Gift that the world has hurt you as well, treated you like some sort of freak…a mistake," Izuku takes a deep breath as the Ink Demon pulls back, "Well no more…you are safe now my Little Gift, my Darling. Now, I shall take you to my lair, keep you safe until the Dark Puddles finish your transformation…and then we will deal with that Wilson,"
Izuku's heart stops. She knew that if he took her to his lair she would never escape. Eyes frantically moving around she did the only thing she could think of.
The Ink Demon roars out in pain as Izuku bit down on his gloved hand, forcing him to drops her. As soon as her hooves touched the ground she was running. The Ink Demon roars and Izuku can hear him running after her. Running up the stairs she swirls around to slam the door shut, arms trembling as the Ink Demon growls, his shadows slowly disappearing.
Izuku takes a wobbly step backwards, panting, hand going to her neck, and she falls forward. His words echoed in her head and she felt her face grow hot. Tears streamed down her face, not that she was disgusted or scared by his words…no it was the fact that he cared. He cared that she was hurt. He was mad that someone hurt her. She stifled a sob as she sat on the floor, her back against the wall and her tail curling against her legs.
No one has cared since she was declared Coreless. A human who has no core meant that they couldn't do magic. Let alone have their own Signature meant that Izuku wasn't normal, it meant she was useless, that she would never be a real person in other people's eyes. A week after her diagnosis her father stopped coming home. She remembers her mother's frantic calls to his cell, but each time it never rang, stating that the number never existed. She remembers as her mother slowly withered away, from Ultras most powerful witch to someone who keeps herself to her room, or looked at the door waiting for her husband to one day come home.
When people find out, they blamed her. How could a daughter of a dragon and a witch be Coreless? How dare she do this to her family, bringing shame to them, to her mother and father. That she was the reason why her father left…that she was a mistake.
The fact that a Magic-Born Demon (what else could he be as Izuku never heard of a breed of demons that were made of ink or took a form of a cartoon character) which were known to have a hard time feeling other emotions other than rage and anger, especially to those who brought them into the world said those things to her, showed anger that she was hurt?
Izuku shakes her head not wanting to think about it. She had to keep focus… she had to find a way. Her head turns at the sound of jingling keys. When she stood up her tail had knocked over a trash can which had the keys she was looking for.
After finding them, Izuku found two audio logs, one from the projectionist, Norman Polk and from Sammy. Both told her how to open Sammy's secret hideout where the value was. Running back into the projector room and turning the projector on she ran back down, playing piano, piano, bass, drum and turning to the Grate that slowly opened Unfortunately it did not in fact stop the leaking pipe but unclog the passageway to the infirmary.
Walking down the stairs, wincing at every creak, Izuku couldn't help but groan when she saw that the valve was missing. Looking around the room she found a passageway. Her nose scrunched up in disgust at the smell, plugging her nose with her non clawed hand before she went down it. Finding another audio log from someone named Jack Fain revealed that she was walking in part of the studio's sewers. She looks down at the ink that she was standing in.
"This have better just be ink,"
Sludging deeper in, she found a Searcher holding the valve, but this one had a hat on them. Tilting her head, Izuku walked over to him, "Excuse me?" the searcher turns over, a low moan escaping from him, "I'm sorry to bother you but may I have that turnwheel?," the Searcher gazes at her before he holds out the wheel to her. Smiling, she takes it, "Thank you! And I like your hat by the way!"
After placing the wheel back on and turning it, Izuku runs back to Sammy's room and smiles when she sees that the leak has finally stopped. Smiling she opens the door and grabs the last picture, "There…maybe now that Lost One will let me through,"
Crawling through a vent, she stills when the Ink Demon's voice rumbles, "You cannot hide forever~ I will find you," Izuku slowly stands up looking around. Shaking her head she begins to place the pictures into the frames, one by one. With the fifth one place the door opens and the Lost One emerges. Izuku tenses up a bit, thinking he would attack her but thankfully he only cared about his pictures, allowing Izuku to sneak through the door.
Looking up at the two signs that declared one room the screening room and the other the storyboard room, Izuku heads down the screen room. She looks at the three projectors before turning to the screen. Three pictures of Bendy were on the wall. One with Bendy holding a flower with a bee above him, one with him just holding the flower and the last picking the flower. Each one had a little number on the corner of the screen.
Turning, she spots another audio log on the table and picks it up, looking around as she listens.
"When I entered this world, it was an untamed wilderness. A wretched, crawling slum, ruled by that grinning demon. From chaos, I brought order. From order, I brought peace. Once you cut the head from the snake, the snake bleeds out quietly onto the ground. Now the only question that remains is, 'What if the head grows back?"
Izuku frowns at Wilson's words, "I do not believe you brought peace into this world," she mutters as she crawls into a vent. She idly switches the scenes, biting at her lip, "Maybe there's a clue in the other room,"
Heading in the storyboard room, she turns on the projector, little drawn scenes of Bendy appearing. Memorizing them, she headed back, switching the scene but stopping when she heard footsteps and a growl. Looking around, she hurls herself into the vent. Waiting patiently at each step the Ink Demon took, before the shadows faded away and he lets out an angry growl. Sighing she crawled out, typing in the code and walked out of the screening room.
She blinks down at the sign, telling her to come say hello. Peaking through the door, Izuku grimaced at the dead Lost One before looking at the wall that said "She was the Fourth"
"Who was the Fourth?,"
A scream echoes in the hall a bit later, Izuku dropping onto her butt, heart beating madly as the body that she found in the crate suddenly appeared before disappearing. "Fuck….this….studio!" Izuku growls fur bristling as she stands up. Looking around warily she picks up another audio log listening to Wilson Arch as she calms herself down.
"The papers are signed! The animation staff is hired and one in particular I have high hopes for. Arch Gate Pictures is open for business! As of nine o'clock this morning, Bendy and his little cartoon friends now belong to me. I'll admit, its strange owning a dear friend's legacy. But I think Joey would be content knowing its safely in my hands. "You just gotta believe," he used to say. He was such a showman. Well, I believe Joey. I wholeheartedly believe!"
Izuku smiles a bit, wishing that belief made everything possible. But she knew it wasn't. She shakes her head, not wanting to think about it before she stops inside what looked like a warehouse that was missing the floor. Looking across she sees a Lost One who waves his hand at her before suddenly disappearing. Sighing, Izuku looks down before looking at, finding a control panel to the side. Pulling the lever, a large pipe came down, acting like a bridge. Walking across, she took one step off and almost fell over as a large bong sounded. Spinning around, Izuku stares as the chains slowly break off the pipe one by one, dropping it into the dark abyss. "Well…not going back that way,"
Heading forward, Izuku stares in disbelief as she finds the lost one stuck in a pipe. He looks up, his goggles sliding off his head a bit, "Oh hello there! Are you looking for a way out?"
"A way out would be nice," she slowly steps forward, "Are you… stuck in there?"
The Lost one chuckles, "Well… yes. And I'm afraid that means, well, you're stuck too,"
You can't move at all?" Izuku asked, kneeling down, looking at the large mass of ink that was clogging the pipe.
The Lost One shakes his head, "Not an inch. Perhaps you could get me unstuck?"
Izuku bites at her lips, "I have something… but I was told it upsets Lost Ones. I'll do it, just don't attack me," the Lost One nods his head in agreement and Izuku smiles. Taking a deep breath she allows the shadows to emerge from her feet. She could see the Lost One staring at her with wide eyes, but soon he was sliding the pipe, the tendrils of Izuku's shadow having absorbed the extra ink. Pulling her shadows in, she follows, smiling in glee as she slides down the pipe.
She then grunts when she lands in front of another massive gap. Blinking and wondering how that would have happened, Izuku turned her gaze to the Lost One, "Thank you very much for your help. The names Porter by the way. And who might you be?"
"Izuku. My name's is Izuku,"
Porter hums, sounding out the name before he shakes his head, "Nope! Don't like it. Doesn't suit you I'll call you, Bobby," Izuku snorts a bit, but blinks when he steps forward, "And to say thanks for your feat of rescue. Here's a little gift. Something I learned from the Dark Puddles," Before Izuku could do anything he gently grabbed her clawed hand, her vision glowing gold as a deep rumble started vibrating in her chest. Porter pulls back, Izuku blinking the golden lights away, "There we are, its past on, return to its rightful owner," Izuku tilts her head but Porter then laughs, "Now you can move like me,"
She jumps when he suddenly appears on the other side of the hole, waving goodbye to her, "Goodbye Bobby! Try to not die,"
"I'll…try?" Izuku mutters but had a smile on her face, she holds out her hand. She yelps when she finds herself on the other side, quickly getting away from the edge before she could fall. Shaking her head, he soon finds herself back to where the five pictures were. Retracing her steps she heads back to the large hole that was blocking the way to the elevators. But before she could use her new ability, she watches as a Lost One opens the way to the bathrooms. Not wanting to know when the last time she will be able to find a bathroom, Izuku decided to freshen up a bit.
Breaking the lock on the door, she jumps when the Ink Demon voice speaks once again, "The deep abyss has seen your memories, Izuku. You are now a child of the darkness," Izuku gulps, looking around for someplace to hide but it becomes silent once more. Sighing she headed into the locker rooms, heading to the male side since the female side was locked.
20 minutes later Izuku was running out of the room, hitting any Searcher on the head as they tried to drag her into the puddles, with her new upgraded Gent Pipe, "Back! I said ba-AHHHHHHHHHHH" she screams as Carly appears in front of her once more, and tries to slash at her. Panting and growling in annoyance she recharges her pipe before flowing to the other side.
"Dreams come true they say.." Izuku mutters her tail lashing out, "It seems that nightmares come true too!" She charges the security box, unlocking the door, staring in confusion at the message written on the wall, "What are keepers?"
Heading up the stairs, Izuku smiles at the sign that said she was heading towards the elevator. Alice's words of the upper levels being safer echo in her mind but soon they were pushed away when the Ink Demon once more spoke, "Your journey will end as you are consumed into my Dark Kingdom. The way you are going will only mean pain!" Izuku stops tilting her head. Was…the Ink Demon…trying to warn her? "Why suffer when you can be safe, happy? You can have whatever you want, your dreams become reality. Never be alone…become mine, darling, become my Queen and you will never want again!" his growls echo in her head as her face burns. He…he wanted her to become his wife?! His mate?!
To her mortification and embarrassment, she felt something inside of her purring at the thought. Something inside her like the thought… "And there is no time to be thinking of that!" she thought as she headed for the elevators.
Or she was before the gate slammed down, making Izuku yelp as she hit her nose against the wire. Stepping back she rubs her face and stares, "Fucking come on! Are you kidding me! Is this studio…just like giving me a hard time!"
Groaning, she turns around going the other way. She stared at the cutout of bendy sleeping in the bed on top of a fountain, "By the Gods I wish that was me," she rubs her face, "All I wanted was a coffee…was that too hard to ask?"
Before she could turn the corner she stopped hearing voices. Peaking around the corner she sees a whole bunch of Lost Ones milling around.
"I thought I heard something over here,"
"What's our purpose? Wilson said he knows it!"
"Who cares about our purpose! I saw the Ink Demon in Animation Alley! I thought Wilson said he was dead!"
"I'm so angry that the next person I see I'm going to rip their face off!"
"Ok…they are not nice Lost Ones," Izuku thought before her eyes focused on the large office building. She looked at the advertisement for blankets and coffee, "All of this shit is because I wanted coffee," she whines in mourning before she began to focus again.
Sneaking by the Lost Ones, Izuku looks over the desk. Her tail shooting up at the coffee machine. But then tears stream down when she sees no actual coffee. Cursing under her breath she pressed the audio log, listening to them as she collected the SLUGS and Gent parts covering the counter.
A shout was her only warning before she found a whole bunch of Lost Ones charging over. Izuku slams the door close, bracing her whole body against it even as the Lost Ones pound their hands and pipes against it.
Looking at the other door across from her Izuku wondered if she could reach it when a low growl was heard as shadows slowly emerged. The black lines dance across the ground and walls, ink dripping and staining at every corner it could reach. The Lost Ones screeched as a roar echo in Artist Rest. Izuku lunges for the door and opens it, her eyes locking onto a Miracle Station as she runs over it and slams the door shut.
The sounds of crunching and snapping bones made Izuku shiver, and she looked through the porthole to watch as the Ink Demon lifted up his hoof, dripping with ink and...whatever else made up of the lost one's head. Before he turns his gaze towards the other Lost Ones trying to escape. The demon crouches down and pounces on another, ripping their head off from their body. The massacre of the remaining Lost Ones made Izuku shiver…both in fear…and happiness? She knew that he was only doing this because they threatened her..she just didn't understand why?!
She stills when he turns his gaze to the Miracle Station and seems to puff up his chest in pride. Izuku stills when he walks over, his hooves clacking against the floor. Izuku crouched down, watching as the shadows linger a bit…before disappearing, a low growl signifying the Ink Demon was gone.
Slowly opening the door, Izuku blinks at the dead body of a Lost One that now was laying in front of the station, "Is...oh by the Gods," she pinched the bridge of her nose before shaking her head.
It took a while to figure out what her plan was to do next. Iku found a balcony which she hoped would lead her to the elevators, but she couldn't reach it even with flow. Looking around for a way to reach, Izuku found a crane that she could possibly move towards the balcony, but the keys were in lost and found. Unlocking that place from the office. While the thought of why the hallway was so long, she flowed through the gap of the metal shutter, grabbing the keys. She even found some blueprints to upgrade her pipe along with a station to do so. Smiling she flows out and starts heading back "Now hopefully nothing bad will-,"
The Ink Demon looks up, a body of a Lost One in his hands, his teeth latched into their inky flesh. He begins to rumble, his tail swishing back and forth as he begins to stalk towards her. Izuku stares for a bit before she spins around heading back to the lost and found. Holding up her hand she flows, grunting when she lands on her side when she feels something trying to grab her ankle. Looking up her golden and green eyes stares at the Ink Demon who growls a bit tilting his head.
"To see you, a child new to this world, easily using abilities only I have been able to do. It interests me," Izuku shiver, scrambling backwards as she stood up. She hisses at him but he only chuckles, "Very well Izuku~ Darling, I will let you keep going on this journey… but I will soon prove myself worthy for you my dear Gift. That only I can keep you safe…and in the end…you shall become my mate…my Queen," he then turned, a deep rumble echoing as he walked away.
Izuku stayed there for a bit, calming her heart down. Jumping when Wilson's voice cracked onto the speaker. She snorted shaking her head when he said that the rumors of the Ink Demon roaming around her false and lies, "Tell that to my face when he wants me to become his wife,"
Flowing out of the Lost and Found she headed towards the crane and used the keys to move the platform. Then using flow to get onto the roof of the office, before she then flowed onto the platform and the balcony. Rubbing her shoulder a bit, she listens to Nathan Arch as he talks about how weird the Joey Drew exhibit felt since they brought his old stuff there.
Wilson's voice spoke from the speaker again but Izuku ignored it. Why should she listen to him anyway? It was because of him that she was in this mess. She stops and listens for a strange sound, like someone tearing into…she growls holding her pipe and ready to show that damn demon as moved forward. Going through the chain-link fence by pushing a cart out of the way that was blocking a hole Izuku crept down the stairs.
Izuku finally found the elevators, unfortunately there was to problems…one was broken..the other one was blocked by the Ink Demon who was once again eating a Lost One the source of the sound, "Hey! What did they do to deserve being treated like food?"
The Ink Demon chuckles before the door slam shut. Izuku braced herself to run, but the shadows slowly faded away. Warily she walked over and presses the button, and sighs in relief when it opens to reveal no Ink Demon, just the now discarded body, "Well he even wastes food huh?"
Shaking her head she presses the button to go up. Sliding down in exhaustion she hope to whatever Gods were out there that Alice was right that the upper levels were safer...she just really wanted to sleep right now.
The elevator halted to a stop with a screech, forcing Izuku to stand up, "Unauthorized surface elevator in use," Izuku looks around, panic in her eyes, "Manual life ejection activated,"
Izuku's eyes widened at what the disturbing voice said, and before she knew it, the elevator began to fall. Izuku crouches down, curling into a ball to hopefully protect herself. She looks up when it halts to a screech but before she could relax the floor opened up.
Izuku roars out, a screech escaping from her throat as falls. She tries to grab onto a ledge but her hands slipped from ink before she could get a firm hold onto it. Her head smacks against the ground, hard. Izuku groans trying to stand up, but blackness soon starts to cover her vision. She tried to fight it, tried to stand back up but soon succumbed to the darkness.
The last thing she heard was a screeching sound and a loud cracking sound, like something hatching from an egg.
Oh, as you can see I had fun writing this. Bendy that is not how you court a girl but hey at least he is trying. Don't worry once his dad comes in he'll try to reign him in.
And yes Bendy has a whole bunch of nicknames for Izuku, His Gift, Little Gift, His Queen, Darling..and is makin so much more
As you can see I added some things from the first game, hello Jack at least you didn't get smashed this time. I'm just changing the script here and you'll see more in the next chapter I hope!
Also note Izuku is 19 well 19 since its been six months being trapped in the dark puddles, so she is an adult..I probably won't be adding any sex scenes between Izuku and Bendy in this fic...mentions of it yes..but if you guys really want to I can make a side story of this for those scenes, but I make no promises they will be any good. Also I will only place them on my ao3 account so if any of my fanfiction readers want to read them..go to my a03 account
Anyway hope you all enjoy! Please give me reviews I love them!
