I'm Still Here

Chapter Three: Bendy Hell

Previous Chapter

It took us a while, but we made it to Bendy Land, an amusement park deep within the studio. The sign that said "Bendy Land" had the word "hell" written over "land" "Holy cow", I said. We walked down to the floor. "Okay, Bertrum is in the Attraction Storage Room. We need to pull two switches in order to get to him. We can pull the first lever if we win those carnival games. Allison, Tom, you guys play the games. You understand how they work." The couple played- and won- the carnival games. I ran into the now open costume room and pulled switch inside, which allowed me to pull the first switch outside. Daylight played the strength test game, allowing access to the Research & Design Room. We ran inside, only to be confronted by the Butcher Gang. "Not these guys again."

"We can take care of these things", Allison said. I nodded affirmatively. Suri, Daylight, and I ran for it, and the Butcher Gang chased us. We were able to pull the lever, but the Butcher Gang cornered us. We jumped over them and made it into the second room. This one had the Bendy Animatronic. I pulled the switch, and Daylight teleported us to where the four switches were. I pulled the second switch. The Attraction Storage Room opened. Allison and Tom ran out of the Research & Design Room.

"Let's go", I said. We walked inside. Surely enough, an amusement park ride stood in the center of the room. I held up the Seeing Tool, and a hidden message became visible: "Time wounds all heals." "Well, that's useless", I said. Suddenly, we heard something. Unfortunately, it was the audio log.

"The biggest park ever built, a centerfold of attractions. Each one, more grand than the one before it. It makes my eyes come to tears at the thought. But then... oh Mister Drew. For all your talk of dreams, you are the true architect behind so many nightmares. I built this park. It was to be a masterpiece! My masterpiece! And now you think you can just throw me out? Trample me to the dust and forget me? No! This is my park! My glory! You may think I've gone... But I'm still here!"

The monstrous Bertrum Piedmont roared to life and started spinning erratically. "What the fuck?!", I screamed. "Daylight!"

"Oops. Sorry, Dad", Daylight said.

"How do we defeat that thing?!", Suri asked.

"We need to turn him off!", I replied. I leaped into the amusement park ride and repeatedly punched Bertrum's giant head. I eventually ripped it out of the amusement ride and backflipped out of the ride with the decapitated head under my right arm. Sure enough, the amusement park ride stopped spinning. I tossed the giant head aside. It was as big as me. "I think I know why he went insane. Joey Drew kept on taking all the credit for Bertrum's creations. Bertrum is also one of the victims of the Ink Machine. The audio log that triggered Bertrum pretty much solved the mystery. Anyways, we need to get out of here. We have to find the Demon's Throne. Come on." After pulling the switch, we walked out. I pulled the third switch, allowing access to Maintenance. We were confronted by the Projectionist, but we were able to locate the final switch on the above floor. I pulled it, causing the room to go dark for some strange reason. Daylight used her magic to light the way. After we made it to the bottom, the Projectionist started chasing us again. We were able to run out, causing the Projectionist to give up. I pulled the fourth and final switch. We walked into the Ballroom. The hulking Brute Boris was waiting for us. "Oh, crap." Allison stabbed the monster in the heart, killing it. "Oh, okay." We walked into the base, but Beast Bendy was there. He unleashed a mighty roar. "Everyone, step back. I can take care of him." The others stepped back. I delivered a series of punches and kicks, ending with a tackle. Allison tossed me her sword, and I jammed it into Bendy's heart. The Demon exploded in a blinding flash of light.

When I came to, I was back home. My radio was playing Sky High by DAGames. Daylight was cuddled up next to me. I then realized it was all a dream... or was it? Suri was asleep next to me. I pulled her in. My wife woke up. We kissed passionately.

Sky High
This is my call for arms, I brought you down, sound the alarm.
We've got the biggest to survive.
If not for all to stray the little man.
Well, now I ignite.
Those puny mortal lives will die.
So, let me explain that today is the day!
I've been around the world of cooling seas.
Another brigade losing lives, losing time.
But if you won't let me explain just to rain.
Baby, call off your lights!
Nevermore, lost through the fights!
This isn't just a game, it's time to ignite the world!
This is my time to shine!
We are taking flight!
I will have the rays and the guns, and the guns are the rays!
There's no way we're taking the light!
As we go sky high, sky, sky high!
Just a little more!
Before I fall to your guns!
We march sky high, sky, sky high!
Sky high, sky, sky high!
With all your talk of games, nothing ever changes!
And the light is never worth a try.
Why wait till they proclaim a victory in the night if we're here till the end of time?
Maybe I could explain to you all the same!
I may be an innocent ninja warrior to you all, that won't ignite.
But when you shout out on display, I became your enemy in the fire lost to the time!
I'll be your guardian, it's time to ignite the world!
This is my time to shine!
We are taking flight!
I will have the rays and the guns, and the guns are the rays!
There's no way we're taking the light!
As we go sky high, sky, sky high!
Just a little more!
Before I fall to your guns!
We march sky high, sky, sky high!
Sky high, sky, sky high!
I will go to you if I couldn't find you before!
I'll be there taking them one by one!
One by one, they will fall!
This is my time to shine.
We are taking flight.
I will have the rays and the guns, and the guns are the rays.
This is my time to shine!
We are taking flight!
I will have the rays and the guns, and the guns are the rays!
There's no way we're taking the light!
As we go sky high, sky, sky high!
Just a little more!
Before I fall to your guns!
We march sky high, sky, sky high!
Sky high, sky, sky high!
Sky high, sky, sky high!
Sky high, sky, sky high!
Sky high, sky, sky high!
Sky high, sky, sky high!


Author's Note

The lyrics for Sky High are off, but it's what I heard. It's completed, but it's still yet to be released. You can hear the full song on Mario? Holio!, a Twitch stream on DAGamesOffical.
