Okay, this should be the rest of Chapter 2. I'm thinking on Chapter 3 and what I do have a plan for it is, the Ink Alice isn't going to show herself on the floor but she will mess with the Trio by forcing them to stop at different floors, still working on the why though. The Butcher Gang will also show up, but I'm thinking on something else for them other than showing up as enemies. I save that for when I start Chapter 3 Rise and Fall. Also, no Boris at the end, since they already a Boris with them. Remember, AU! Let get this chapter done then! I got other plans that I'll share at the end.
After walking a bit longer, Bendy and Alice enter a room that two machines and spotted the Searcher holding the valve. Knowing that either of them could rush over and attack it, they both try to sneak up on it. Just as Alice was close enough to draw her dragger to take it out, it sink into the ink almost making her fall into the ink herself. Bendy quickly threw his arm forwards, making the ink spread away from Alice making her hit the wooden floor inside. Once Alice got up, Bendy put his arm back to make the ring around them bigger and spoke.
"Sorry Alice. Didn't have time to think. Are you okay?" He said then asked.
"I'm fine and don't worry, I wasn't expecting the Searcher to sink into the ink." Alice said.
"There got to be a way to catch it." Bendy thought and look around.
He spotted a switch on one of the machines and both he and Alice walk over to it. Knowing that Bendy hat to keep his arms up, Alice pull the switch and watch as heavy crate was lifted. She quickly figure out what they had to do.
"Bendy, we need to draw the Searcher until that crate and drop it on it." Alice told him.
"Okay, that sounds good. But we both can't do that. I'm not as fast as you and you can't touch the ink without me being around. So you better climb on the machine, because I need my arms for this." Bendy said.
"Are you sure?" Alice asked worry.
"Yeah, it better if I do this alone." Bendy nodded.
Alice sign and knew that Bendy had a point, she climb on the machine and spotted the Searcher not too far where they were.
"Bendy, I can see the Searcher from here. I can point out where it goes and let you know if it under the crate." She told him.
"Thanks Alice. I get to work on it." Bendy said lowering his arms.
So the two work together, Alice spotted the Searcher every time Bendy got close and it sink into the ink and reappear somewhere else. It took a while, but the finally appear under the crate. Bendy rush back over to the switch and pull it, make the crate smash the Searcher.
"Sorry, we had to that. Nice hat though!" Bendy said picking up the valve.
He walk back over and raise his arms so the ink spread out as Alice climb down. The two walk all the way back towards the infirmary and spotted Boris lending at the top of the stairs.
"Well it about time. What took you so long?" He asked.
"Sorry Boris, the Searcher was different than the rest. Had to find a new way to defeat it." Alice explain.
Bendy walk over to the pipe that the valve went to and place it back on. With a twist, they could hear the ink turn off. The three then walk back towards Sammy Office and saw the spray did indeed stop. They were able to step over the ink and enter inside the office. Boris spotted the switch that should drain the ink from the exit and pull it. They were about to move on when the spotted Bendy looking at something at a desk.
"Bendy?" Alice asked.
"Is this the Ink Machine?" Bendy asked out loud.
Alice and Boris walk up next to Bendy and notices the black-prints of the Ink Machine itself. Alice gasp as Boris grab the prints and started to look it over. He spotted the letters T.C. and couldn't help but to think that the print look very familiar to him.
"I say this, this is a nice find Bendy. Once we are out of here, I'll look it over so we can plan to shut it down later." Boris said.
"Agree, now let's get out of here before Sammy or the Ink Demon finds us," Alice said getting the two to nod.
Boris folded up the prints and put them in his pocket and they three left the office. The walk back over to the exit and it look like they could finally escape. just as they enter the room, Alice suddenly fell to the ground knocked out.
"ALICE!" Boris and Bendy shouted before Boris fell to the ground also knock out.
"BORIS!" Bendy shouted before felling something hit the back of his head.
Bendy fell to the ground and look up to see a blurry vision of someone standing over them, wearing overalls and had a cutout Bendy had on it face. In its hand was a dustpan that it just uses to knock all three of them out.
"Rest your head, its time for bed." It said.
"Sammy..." Bendy said before his version fade to black.
Ink Alice was shock to see Sammy knock out the fakes and her love friend. She continue watching and notices Sammy pick Henry up and carry him away leaving the other two on the ground. She knew she had to report this to Joey and she knew he was going to be mad.
"Sammy got them didn't he?"
Ink Alice turns around and saw Joey standing in the doorway, his grin now a frown.
"Y-yes, Sammy knocks them out and he just took Henry. Knowing him, he going to use him as a sacrifice." Ink Alice answers and grew worried when the area was covered in ink clouds.
"Well then, if Sammy wants to be free, then let's set him free." Joey smile before leaving the room.
Once the ink clouds were gone, Ink Alice feel to the ground, fear all over her face. She knew how powerful Joey was and how dangerous it was to make him mad. She never looks forward to that. She stood up and look at the camera showing the fakes waking up and look for Henry. Alice turn the cameras off, not wanted to see what Joey would do to Sammy. And she prays that they were spared from Joey warth.
Bendy groan as the world started to fade back in. He looks up and saw Sammy stand up after appear to tie him up.
"There we go now. Nice and tight. We wouldn't want our sheep to roam away now do we?" He said.
"Sammy?" Bendy asked, confuse.
"No, we wouldn't. I must admit, I'm honored you came all the down here to visit me. But the believers must honor their savior. I must have him notice me." Sammy said, not noticing or caring for the question.
"Wait, that face, you look familiar," Sammy said getting a close look at Bendy's face.
Bendy remains still wondering if Sammy had also forgotten his past like everyone else.
"No, not now," Sammy said shaking his head.
"But our lord call for us, my sheep. The time of sacrifice is at hand. And then, I can finally be freed from this... prison. This inky... dark... abyss I call a body." He continues.
Before Bendy could say anything, a loud "THUMP" was heard above them.
"Quiet, listen! I can hear him. Crawling above. Crawling!" Sammy said, looking almost excited.
Something told Bendy that he knew who Sammy was talking about and it didn't please him one bit.
"Let's us begin. The ritual must be completed. Soon he will hear me... he will set us free." Sammy added and walk to another room.
The door close and Bendy try to break free. There was no way he was standing around to see the Ink Demon. Not after hearing the insane plan that Sammy had. He had a feeling Sammy wasn't always like this, but there was no time to figure that out.
"Sheep, Sheep, Sheep, its time to sleep. Rest your head, it time for bed. In the morning you may awake or in the morning you'll be dead." Sammy's voice said.
Bendy started to try harder but heard a door open and to his surprise, Alice and Boris was standing in front of the gate.
"Bend..." Alice almost cry out, but Boris cover her mouth, in case Sammy was close by.
The two quietly went over to Henry and help him get free.
"Hear me, Bendy! Arise from the darkness! Arise and claim my offering! Free me! I beg you!" Sammy's voice said.
"This is bad. We need to get out of here fast." Alice said as she tries to break the rope.
"Hold on, did he call the Ink Demon Bendy?" Bendy asked.
"That what some of them call him." Boris answer.
Even though Boris still didn't trust this Bendy, he didn't want to leave him to the Ink Demon.
"I summon you, ink demon! Show your face and take this tender sheep!" They heard.
Boris thought they were wasting time and knowing that Alice wouldn't what to leave Bendy behind, he pull out his ax and cut the rope off of Bendy.
Bendy stood up and notices his ax was gone. Before he could look for it, they heard Sammy's voice again, this time filled with fear and the sound of heavy breathing was heard.
"No! My lord! Stay back! I am your prophet! I'm your..." Sammy's voice was cut off by a scream and it was quiet.
"No time to stand around, we need to go!" Alice said making the other two nod.
They ran forward and was stop by some Searchers, Alice and Boris quickly dealt with them and ran down the hall. They stop when noticing the hallway was block off with boards. Boris waste no time in chopping them down and they spotted that next room was fill with ink.
"Looks like I going to have to try and make the ink move away from us so we all can cross," Bendy said, stepping up.
Before he could step foot in the ink, the Ink Demon himself appear out of it. The two Bendy's look at each other for a few seconds before the Ink Demon grin widens.
"Hello, Henry!" He said.
Bendy was confuse at that name, why did the Ink Demon call him that.
"Bendy, come on!" Alice yelled, snapping him out of his thoughts.
Bendy turn and saw Alice and Boris turn down another hallway and quickly follow after them. However, that also case the Ink Demon to chase after them.
"Henry, where are you going?" The Ink Demon asked.
The three ran down the hallway and turn down another. The turn slow them down a bit and Bendy could felt the Ink Demon hand touch him. Then something happens to the two, Bendy and the Ink Demon both had a face of pain as if something was shocking them.
"Bendy!" Alice shouted and pull Bendy out of the Ink Demon grasp.
Bendy snap out of what happen just happen to him and follow after Alice and Boris. They spotted a door up head and ran as fast they can to enter it. Bendy turn around and saw that the Ink Demon was still chasing them. Boris slam the down and Alice place a wooden board, hoping that the Ink Demon couldn't breakthrough. The door was bang on making all three of them push themselves against to hold it shut. They felt bang growing weaker until it stops. Bendy places his side of his face on the door to listen for the Ink Demon.
"We'll meet again soon, Henry!"
Soon the sound of footsteps was heard walking away until the fade. Bendy sighs in relief and back away from the door.
"He's gone." He said.
Alice and Boris let got of the door and back away slowly. There was nothing showing that the Ink Demon was trying to break in. Now that they got away, Alice turn to Bendy and started to look over him.
"Are you okay? I saw the Ink Demon grab you." She asked.
"I think so. I'm not sure but when it touch me, I felt something, something I can't explain fully." Bendy answer.
Before Alice could ask, Boris spoke up.
"Look let's get to a safe place for now. Then we can answer some questions." He said.
"Very well. There a place we know that acted like a safe house close by. We can rest and recover there." Alice agrees.
"Lead the way then," Bendy said.
As they walk, Bendy thought back to what the Ink Demon calls him.
'Henry? Why did he call me that? And for some reason when he touch me, I felt something. Something that told me that I knew him once. Someone that I knew for a long time.' Bendy thought.
Ink Alice exited the room and notices Brute Boris standing next to the door.
"Has he return?" She asked.
"Hmmm." Brute Boris answer.
"I see, I just hope he's in a good mood." Ink Alice said.
"Oh, I am."
Ink Alice and Brute Boris turn and saw Joey step up to them, no signs of the ink clouds around him. Ink Alice couldn't help but release her breath she didn't know she was holding.
"Sorry if I scare you, my dear. This ink is hard to control at times." Joey said placing his hand on her cheek.
"I knew why you were angry, but..." Ink Alice started to say, but Joey stops her.
"Don't worry about it my dear, did you see where the rebels and Henry went?" He said then asked.
"No, I turn the cameras off when you went after Sammy. I even gave them a small pray that you would spare them." Ink Alice said knowing she couldn't lie.
"I see, don't worry I left them alive. But it appear that Henry forgot everything. When I touch him, I saw our childhood. They were good times." Joey said.
"So, the ink got to him." Ink Alice said.
"Yes and no, Alice. You see, his body is cover in ink, but his soul remains untouched. He still the man he is, it just that the ink is surpassing memories. He remembers somethings, but it would be enough to bring out the man he once was." Joey explain.
"So, what is he going by now?" Ink Alice asked.
"Bendy." Joey smile.
And finally done with Chapter 2! Now Chapter 3 is up next and it going to be a bit of a time skip, so Bendy control over the ink will be better and he can use it as means to fight. But he not a master of the ink just yet.
Now for the plan, I have in mind. Since I'm in a "Bendy" mood, I thought I try another Bendy story, this time following the cartoons but with my own ideas. I writing a test chapter to see what people will think of it. It not yet finished at the time of chapter completion. Once it is, I'll post it and see what people think, if they like it, I'll put the full story up, if not, then you all know.
Anyways, please Review and I mean more than one person! I see that the faves and followers building up, but I rarely see my reviews go up. Soon what I said before is true, I more know for my crossovers then my singles stories.
