And the rest of chapter 2. You know, I'm started to think I'm more known for my crossover stories then my single stories, but I'm not letting me stop writing this story. Anyways, here I relieve Hendy new power as Bendy. Some of you might have noticed I've been keeping some things from the Cannon the same and been remove some things from it. Since I want this to be AU, I wanted to make things different, at the same time keep them the same if that makes sense. Well here we go!
The trio walk down the hallway and soon came to a office that had Sammy name on it. Bendy could feel that he been there before, however they couldn't enter it before there was ink spaying on the door.
"We got to find away to turn this ink off." Alice said.
"Yeah but where?" Boris said.
Bendy started to think as well before something appear in his mind. He could see himself in the studio, and a man right next to him. He can even heard them talking.
"So Bendy, I heard you and Joey started this studio together." The man said.
"That right Sammy. I heard lot about your music. I never thought that Joey would hire you." Bendy told him.
"Why thank you. I never made music for cartoons before, but I should be able to make some that no one could forget about Joey's characters!" Sammy said.
"Wait what? Joey characters? Sammy, I made Bendy! Me and Joey started this business together, but he would never claim to make Bendy." Bendy said shock.
"Really? Huh I guess Joey is not the only with a secret." Sammy said.
"Secret?" Bendy asked.
"Well I guess I might as well. I never told anyone, but I made a sanctuary in the music room. It my place to get some quiet. All you have to do is play some music and it will open." Sammy said.
"Why are you telling me this Sammy?" Bendy asked.
"Let's just say, I feel it something that might help you one day." Sammy smirk.
"Bendy? Bendy!"
Bendy snap out of his thoughts to see Alice looking at him worry and Boris raise an eyebrow.
"Are you okay?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Bendy answer and thought over what he recall.
'The Music Room? Sanctuary? Play Music? What does it mean?' He thought.
"We need to find a to turn this off." Boris said.
"But how?" Alice said, knowing none of them can touch the ink.
"The Music Room." Bendy muttered.
"What?" Alice asked.
"I think I remember something. I might have meet Sammy before. He told me something about a sanctuary in the music room. Not sure what it means through." Bendy said.
Alice gasp and Boris look surprise.
"Wait a sanctuary? You mean Sammy has a place that he can hide in?" Boris asked.
"I guess so." Bendy said unsure.
"Then let's head there, maybe we can find something and hopefully not Sammy." Alice said.
Boris sigh as Bendy nodded. The three head towards the music room, while Boris look at Bendy. He still didn't trust Bendy, but he remember something that help them. He look over at Alice who was lost in her own thoughts as they walk. Boris wasn't sure, but when they met this Bendy, the group just felt whole. As if they gain a missing member to their team. He and Alice has been doing fine this whole time, but he doesn't get why Bendy made him feel like they were unstoppable now.
Alice was thinking as she walk next to Bendy. She had the strange feeling she met this Bendy before. Maybe in her past life? She wasn't sure. She look over and know the differences between this Bendy and the Ink Demon. The only things they have in common was that they were both human size and use the same name. Unlike the Ink Demon, that was cover in ink and had some covering it eyes with a wide grin, this Bendy look more closer to the posters she been seeing. He didn't have the grin, no ink covering his pie cut eyes, and she couldn't help but to admit he was cute. She shook her head, she can't let herself become Alice Angel. She knew there was a life before her, before all this. She just couldn't remember. And like Boris, she had a feeling that the group was whole now.
They reach the music room and started to look over the place, but couldn't find anything that look like a sanctuary in the room.
"Are you sure there a sanctuary here?" Boris said.
"From what I remember, yes, but I don't think I ever seen it." Bendy said confuse.
"Was there anything else you remember?" Alice asked.
Bendy started the think and walk around the room. Then he notices some instruments laying around. Wait, instruments, music room, play, that it!
"Now I remember! Sammy told me we have play some music to open the sanctuary!" Bendy call out.
"Play the instruments? But there are only three of us. And doubt any of us knows how to play." Boris said.
"It our only clue, Bendy did you remember how to open the sanctuary with the instruments?" Alice said then asked.
"I don't recall that." Bendy answer sighing.
Boris groan, and Alice look sad. Bendy walk up to the piano and hit a key. He try to think on what else he knew, but his mind keep coming up blank. There has to be something that he remembers that open the sanctuary. Alice felt bad for Bendy, knowing that he doesn't have much of his memories. He was like newborn ink creature. She has seen them being confused and lost for their first week, before becoming the monsters that they are seen as. She and Boris didn't become monsters, instead they long to see what lies outside the studio.
Bendy try to remember anything else and soon something appear in his mind.
"You know Bendy, a little music does help the mind. A piano plays the calm melody. The Drum makes the loudest crash. And the banjo plucks the air with it string."
Bendy look down and notices the piano. He hits a key then ran over to the drum, hitting it. Finally rushing over to the banjo and pull one of the strings.
"Bendy?" Alice asked confuse.
"I just remember something. I think Sammy told me the way of entering his sanctuary. The Piano, The Drum and the Banjo! We need to play them in that order!" Bendy said.
Are you sure?" Boris asked.
"Yes, I just try it but I think it better that we play them one at a time. But we need to be quick!" Bendy answer.
"Might as well. Bendy you get the drum, Boris you have the banjo, I take the piano. We'll each play one note and once you hear the note, play yours." Alice said.
Bendy nodding, and Boirs shrug before they walk over to their instruments. As soon as Alice hit a key, Bendy bang the drum, which Boris pull the string on the banjo. They soon hear a door open and notices it was near other end of the room. The three regroup and slowly enter the room incase Sammy was there. Once inside, they didn't see Sammy, but spotted a valve on the wall.
"That must be the valve to turn off the leak blocking Sammy office." Boris said.
"I think your right. Boris watch the entrance, Bendy stay with him." Alice said and walk over to the valve.
Alice walk into the room and notices some writing on the wall and for some reason, a toilet. She raised an eyebrow at that before turning the valve. She heard the sound of something turning off then Boris and Bendy fighting something. Wasting no time, she ran towards them and notices them fighting Searchers. Drawing her dragger, she join in the fight, taking one out that was about to hit Bendy from behind. Luckily there weren't too many and they were able to beat them back.
"Thanks Alice. They just appear out of nowhere." Bendy said.
"No problem. Are you hurt?" Alice said then asked.
"No, I'm fine." Bendy said looking over himself.
"Okay you two. Let's get going!" Boris spoke up shaking his head.
The three left the Music Room, not noticing someone watching them from the balcony, wearing a Bendy cutout head.
Ink Alice watch the trio travel around Sammy's floor and spotted Sammy from the camera. She smirk and turn to Joey who was walking up to her.
"I see your are smiling. Find something?" Joey asked.
"I did. The fakes and your friend are traveling in Sammy Area and they got him to come out of hiding! This will be a good time to deal with him." Ink Alice said.
"Well done Susie! I'll make sure to deal with him myself." Joey smile.
"Of course and please don't call me that. I'm Alice Angel now." Ink Alice said.
"Sorry about that my dear. Slip of the tongue. Where are Henry and the Rebels heading now?" Joey asked.
"Back towards Sammy old office, the plan on using the exited they found to escape." Ink Alice said.
"I see, well then, I'll head off there and make sure Sammy doesn't try anything. I do hate how he tries to summon me to break him from the ink, he doesn't understand." Joey said before turning away.
"Oh and Alice? I found another clone. It yours for finding Sammy." He said.
"Thank you my love." Ink Alice grin evilly.
The three headed for Sammy office, but when they pass another hallway, Bendy could swore he hear someone call for him. He turn back and notice a sign that was pointing towards a infirmary.
"Bendy?" Alice call out heading back over to him.
"Yeah?" Bendy asked turning to her.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing, I just notices that sign and for some reason, I don't recall seeing that." Bendy explain.
Alice and Boris look at the sign and they didn't even recalling seeing a infirmary anywhere in the studio. Then again, they mostly avoid Sammy's floor.
"Might as well check it out, the leak didn't get turn off." Boris said.
The three enter the infirmary and notices that there small puddles of ink on the floor, showing this room was once fill with ink. The three carefully walk around the puddles and look for the valve, but couldn't find any.
"Great! There are Ink puddles everywhere and there no valve! We just wasting time here!" Boris groan.
"Calm down Boris. It must be here somewhere." Alice said.
Bendy turn and notices another door that was boarded up and once again, he could hear something call out to him. He carefully walk around he puddles and peek in.
"Bendy?" Alice asked seeing him started to cut the boards off.
"What are you doing?" Boris asked.
"I heard something down there. Almost as if it was calling me." Bendy said as the two step up to him.
All three look down the stairs before deciding to head down the stairs into the area that they never been in. It wasn't long until Alice and and Boris could smell something making them cover their noses. Boris had to use both hands to cover his nose since he has a stronger sense of smell then Alice. Bendy wasn't bother by it because he didn't have a nose. The three walk unto the saw a river of ink running through the floor.
"Guess we can't go on." Boris said still covering his nose.
"I never thought Ink could smell this bad." Alice said still holding her nose.
Bendy sigh, knowing there was no point of moving on.
"Sorry guys, I didn't know there was going to be ink down here." He said.
"It not your fault Bendy. We didn't know either." Alice said placing a hand on his shoulder.
Bendy look up at Alice and smile. The three turn around and started to head back to the infirmary, when Bendy felt something grab him from behind. He turn around and saw a Searcher appear out of the ink and was trying to drag him into the ink.
"Alice! Boris!" He call out make the two turn back to him and saw the Searcher.
"Bendy!" Alice shouted and rush over to help him.
She wasn't quick enough and the Searcher had pull Bedny in the ink, but something else happen. Instead of being pull in the ink, the ink around Bendy started to spread out, making sure that Bendy touch the wooden floor and not the ink. It also push the Searcher off him, making Bendy fall on his butt and surprising Alice and Boris.
"Bendy?" Alice asked surprise.
Bendy look around and saw the ink was staying away from him as if it was afraid to touch him. He reach his hand out and watch as the ink move away from his hand.
"This is new." Boris said in shock.
"I never seen the ink behave like that." Alice added.
"The Liar thinks he the master of the ink, but he's not. Only the Creator can control it."
Bendy blink as he heard the same voice in his head again. Who was that, and who is the creator? And what did they mean by control the ink? Bendy stood up and try to spread his arms, seeing the ink make a bigger opening around him. He lower his arms and watch as the ink came back towards him but stay away from his feet.
"I can control the ink?" Bendy asked.
"What? But the Ink Demon uses the ink." Boris said shock.
"I been hearing this voice, I don't know who it is, but it keeps mentioning "The Lair" and "The Creator". It also said something about The Creator controlling the ink. I don't know what it means though." Bendy told them.
Boris raise an eyebrow. There was something about this Bendy that felt both right and uneasy to him. Uneasy because how much of the Ink Demon he look and right because he could swore he met him from somewhere.
Alice just look at Bendy in surprise. For the longest time, she and Boris avoided the ink and had to place wooden boards in the ink if they couldn't. But now this Bedny can control the ink and he mention something about The Lair and The Creator. She had no clue who they were, but maybe there a good reason this Bendy was on their side.
"You think you can keep that up?" Alice asked.
"Alice!" Boris yelled.
"Yeah, this could get some use too." Bendy said and started to walk around, watching the ink stay away from him.
"You think you can making it bigger?" Alice asked again.
Bendy spread his arms out and the ink move even farther from him.
"I need to keep my arms out to keep the ink away. I don't think I can make it any bigger." Bendy said.
Alice look down and saw that room the ink made was enough for two people. She turn to Boris who was still using both hands to keep his nose cover and knew he wouldn't be able to fight without his hands.
"Okay, Boris head back to the infirmary. Me and Bendy are going to continue on." She said.
"What?! Alice!" Boris shouted almost ready to tell her why she should go with that Bendy but she cut him off.
"You have a stronger sense of smell since your a wolf. And you can't cover your nose and fight at the same time. Plus Bendy can't fight with his arms out, I might have to cover my nose, but I still have a free hand to fight off dangers." She explain.
Boris knew she had a point and it was hard to get her to change her mind if she does. He sigh and turn to Bendy, that lower his arms to give them a bit of rest.
"Fine. Bendy, you better make sure she stay safe! If she gets drags into the ink, then you better watch yourself!" He said before turning around and headed back towards the infirmary.
Bendy look confuse as Alice sigh.
"He always been like that. I know you wouldn't like me get drag in the ink." Alice said, though she was a bit unsure herself.
"Yeah I won't let that happen." Bendy said raising his arms once again.
Once the ink was bigger enough, Alice and Bendy continue down the hallway. It wasn't long before the spotted another Searcher that was much bigger than the others and look to be holding a valve in it hand. The two eyes widen at that that and carefully run up to it. They couldn't reach it because Bendy wasn't as fast as Alice and Alice couldn't run ahead because she needed Bendy close by to keep the ink away from her. The Searcher sink into the ink just as the two made it too late.
"Damn it!" Alice hissed.
"Sorry Alice. I didn't mean to slow you down." Bendy spoke up.
"No it okay. I wasn't expecting to see a another Searcher down here." Alice said, not blaming Bendy due to because he just found out about this ability.
"Alice we need to find some dry wood. I'm not use to this and my arms are getting tired." Bendy said.
Alice look and saw that his arms were shaking, as if they need to be let down for some time. With a nod the two continue down the area and soon found a small office in a wall. They step away of the ink and Bendy let his arms downs. Alice look down the hallways while making sure to stay out of the ink.
"Alice." Bendy spoke up making her turn to him.
"Been wondering something since we left the hideout. Why are you and Boris helping me? And why did you agree with me on traveling with you?" He asked.
"I can't really answer the first one because I'm not fully sure yet, but for the second. Well there something about you that I can't place. When I saw you, I was reminded of how I look when I woke up. I had no idea where or who I was. I spend most of the time walking around the studio trying to figure out anything about me and the place I was in. Then I ran into Boris, it wasn't a great first meeting. Boris been in the studio longer then me and had seen many dangers in the studio. He thought I was one them and attack me. He then notices how I look and decide to help me, saying I look familiar to him. Now that I think about it, it the same with you. Not only because you look lost and confuse, there something familiar about you." Alice explain.
"About Boris, I get this feeling he doesn't like me." Bendy said.
"It mostly because you look like the Ink Demon. But you don't appear to be the Ink Demon. Through I will say that you controlling the ink, made me a little unsure about you." Alice said.
Bendy look at his hands and thought it was strange he can control ink just like the Ink Demon, but something told him he'll never be the Ink Demon. He look up and smile at Alice
"Alice you don't have to worry about that! I may not remember who I was before, but maybe I can help you guys escape the Studio. If I can't find out who I was before, then maybe it out there out of the studio." He said.
"Really?" Alice asked suripse.
"Sure, My arms are rested enough. Let's got get that Valve. Boris isn't going to wait around forever." Bendy smile as he step up to the ink and made more back away with his arms.
"Yeah, your right." Alice smile stepping up to Bendy.
The two walk on looking forward to escape the studio, not noticing Sammy watching them humming to himself.
"The Sheep will come for the slaughter."
Okay I wanted to end where the Trio runs into Sammy, but I don't want to make this too long. I'm going to try and make the chapters between 3,000 to 4,000 words each. Also I am aware of another Bendy game call Boris and the Dark Survival that acts as a prequel to Bendy and the Ink Machine, I am also aware of two Bendy books, but I won't be able to read them because I waiting for it to warm up in my town so I can see if I can find them and read them myself. Another thing I'm listen to a Bendy fan song at the time I was writing this. It call I Am Me by DAGames. It a Boris and the Dark Survival song, it catchy! Please review!
