Chapter 2: The Archives

When Webby attaches the valve, she turns it to open it. Henry, Scrooge, Donald, Della, Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby enters a dark room.

"This place gives me the goosebumps," said Dewey.

Then the lights come on, showing a stage with a Bendy statue, a record player, a crate, and the Lost Ones standing motionless. The record player plays a mysterious melody. The kids get so scared by the scene that Webby hides behind Della, Dewey hides behind Donald, Louie hides behind Scrooge, and Huey hides behind Henry.

"What just happened? And I'm too traumatized to figure it out," said Webby.

"Me either. And I'm the smart brother," said Huey.

"Kids, we understand that you're scared, but you're hugging us too tightly," said Donald, gets strangled by Dewey's fear hug.

"OK. I only got three plushies," said Louie, takes out Alice, Bendy, and Boris plushies from his hoodie pockets.

When he gives the Alice plushie to Webby, she said; suspiciously, "wait for a second!? Where did you get these toys?"

"I got them from the Heavenly Toys Factory. I thought if I get them, it'll calm us down from the fear."

"That's smart of you. I'll take the Bendy plushie," said Huey, takes the toy.

"No! I want it," said Dewey, grabs it.

"Let go!"

"No! You let go!"

"I had it; first!"

Then they stop when they notice Louie starts crying when he held the Boris plushie; in front of him.

When he hugs it with tears falling from his cheeks: Huey lets Dewey keep the Bendy plushie and said, "don't worry, Louie. We save him."

"We're not going to. I already know his fate. He's going to die," said Louie, wailing in sorrow.

"Louie Duck! Get hold of yourself," said Della, comforting him.

"We need to get to the library part of the Archives," said Scrooge.

"But what are the black things," said Dewey.

"They're made out of ink and…. bones! Gross," said Huey.

"Gasp! You don't think he or she did this," said Webby.

"Let's just go to the library part," said Donald.

While everyone except Louie watches them going to the library part, he notices the motionless Lost Ones are gone.

He screamed in fear and said, "wait for me!"

When he follows the others, the kids get so fascinated by the room design.

"Wow! Look at all of these books," said Della.

"There must be some clues around here, somewhere," said Donald.

"Like this audio log of Susie Campbell," said Webby, picking it up.

"Well done, Webbigal. Maybe it'll tell us more what happens to the studio," said Scrooge.

"Or tell us how she became "Alice," said Henry.

"Ok, Susie. Tell us something that we need to know," said Della.

When Webby plays it, it said in the vice Susie Campbell,
"They told me I was perfect for the role. Absolutely perfect. Now Joey's going around saying things behind closed doors. I can always tell. Now he wants to meet me again tomorrow, says he has an "opportunity" for me. I'll hear him out. But if that smooth talker thinks he can double-cross an angel and get away with it, well, oh, he's got another thing coming. Alice, ooh, she doesn't like liars."

"I think I know what it means," said Huey.

"What, Huey," said Louie.

"Susie has been the first victim of the Ink Machine. Maybe that opportunity meant Joey used her as a test subject for it."

"Why, Joey? Why did you do this," said Della, sadly.

"I remember seeing the blueprints of the Ink Machine before Boris got taken away. Joey, Wally, and Thomas were part of creating the Ink Machine," said Donald.

"But what's the purpose of creating the Ink Machine," said Scrooge.

"Yeah! Why was it created," said Henry.

"If only we have another clue," said Louie.

"Like this strange metal door," said Dewey, finds the door with the sign private on it.

When everyone got to the door, Della said, "well done, Dewford Duck. Always find things quickly. Just like your mother."

"Why is this book sticking out," said Huey, pushed the book back into the shelf.

When the book went back in, a light on the door came on.

"So that's how it works," said Henry.

"Of course! Place the book back in its place," said Huey.

"The light comes on," said Dewey.

"And when all fives come on," said Louie.

"The door will open," said The Duck Brothers.

"Alright, everyone! Let's find four more, and the door will open," said Scrooge.

"I found the second," said Webby, pushed it in.

When Louie finds the third one, he doesn't push it back in.

"Louie," Huey yells at him.

"Come on! Push it back in," said Dewey.

"Sorry, won't do it," said Louie.

"Why must I have to do everything for you?"

When Dewey pushes it in, everyone experiences a brief disruption in which a shriek disturbs their vision, and the room appears to be shaking. While this scene happens, Webby hugs the Duck Brothers for protection. The Duck Brothers ignore their fear, happily and blushing to enjoy the moment. When it stopped, Webby lets the Duck Brothers go.

"Aw, well," said Huey.

"It was nice," said Dewey.

"While it lasted," said Louie.

"What in the blazes was that," said Scrooge.

"No idea," said Della, pushing in the fourth book.

"This is our last one," said Donald, pushing in the last book.

When everyone got to the door, Henry pushes the door open.

"To save Boris, we must enter the darkness," said Dewey.

"What," said Huey, terrified.

"Sorry, I like to be dramatic."

"Stay focus, everyone. Hang on, Boris! We'll rescue you," said Scrooge, walks with the others following him.
