Chapters "Hey! Leave that pony alone!", I shouted. "What do you have against her?"
The cloaked pony who was torturing a pink Earth pony turned to me. "Stay out of this. I don't want to have to hurt you."
While the cloaked pony was distracted, the pink pony tackled her attacker. "Stay down!", the pink pony shouted.
"All right, let's see who you are", I said. I removed the cloak, but the pony underneath was somepony I could never imagine.
"Rarity?", I said. "Of course. Who else would it be?" Rarity teleported away. "Ma'am, are you okay?"
"I am now. Who are you?", the pink pony asked.
"My name is Alan Kubicz."
"I'm Suri Polomare."
"You're... who?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I understand if you hate me for what I did. You can leave if you want."
"Why do you think I helped you? Sure, you may be a vile villain, but that doesn't change what I think about you. Suri, I forgive you", I said.
"Wait... what?"
"Please, let me help you get your career back on track."
"Where are you from, Alan?"
"A world that is somewhat similar to this one. I came here because my world got destroyed by something."
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that", Suri said. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me. I started blushing for some strange reason.
"Thanks. I needed that", I said. I returned the embrace.
"What will other ponies think of us?", Suri asked.
"Suri, I don't care what other ponies think. I... I... love you. Ever since you first appeared, I've been in love with you", I replied.
Suri was shocked to hear that I loved her. "Oh, Alan. This is all so sudden. I'VE been in love with you ever since you moved here. I was just too nervous to express my feelings to you."
"It's okay", I said. We separated.
"How can you be in love with me after what I did to Rarity?", Suri asked.
"I know that, behind your evil skin, is a heart of gold. Buttonbelle, will you be my... marefriend?", I asked.
She smiled. "Of course, Alan."
"Now, let's get your career back on track!"
Suri and I walked out of the alley and headed to the Plaza. Rarity was there with a look of deep anger on her face. "You two are not going anywhere! Your little love story ends here! When I'm done with the two of you, they'll be wiping your guts off the floor!", Rarity said.
"You and what army? You're outnumbered, Rarity. Now, leave us alone, 'kay?", Suri said.
"Horseapples!", Rarity said. "I don't care if I go to jail for this! DIE!"
However, Rarity was then pulled back by Twilight Sparkle. "Sorry, Alan. Her hatred for Suri is... enormous."
"You're tellin' me! Hey, Twi, can you help us? I'm trying to get Suri's career back on track."
"Of course!", Twilight said. She teleported Rarity away.
"All right, let's get to work", I said.
It didn't take long for Suri, Twilight, and I to get Suri's career back on track. That night, Suri was the gem of Manehatten. Rarity tried to interfere, so Twilight returned home to confront her. I couldn't be happier. I was with the love of my life.
"Alan, thank you for your help. I guess you really are a force to be reckoned with", Suri said.
"Heh, yeah. If Rarity comes back, I'll kick her flank into next year."
"Come on. Let's go home", Suri said.
At my house...
"It's not much, but it's home."
"Why is this place so... inky?"
"Well, this place has been around for 90 years. Now, since everyone is gone, I made this place my home. This section used to be a safehouse." I smiled at my marefriend, who smiled back. "We should probably get some sleep."
In the bedroom, Suri and I climbed into the bed. Suri and I kissed passionately, revealing that our love was like an eternal eclipse. Our tounges clashed in our mouths. I've never loved anyone as much as I love Suri. A vile villain who was a ghost in the code, and Rarity's enemy. But, that doesn't matter. What matters now is that Suri and I are together. And together we'll stay. As our lips parted, I kissed Suri on the lips again. Her eyes widened, but then closed. We were a true couple. Our lives were complete. We had finally found the love of our lives: each other. Our lips parted. "Oh, Suri. I love you so much", I said.
"I love you too, Alan. But, there's got to be another reason as to why you're in love with- mmm!", Suri said. She was interrupted by another kiss from me.
"There's no other reason, Suri. I love you so much." She blushed. We kissed one more time, and fell asleep.
I had found my true love. Sure, she may be evil, traitorous, and villainous, but she's my marefriend. I wouldn't have her any other way. We were the king and queen of Manehatten. We... were... paralyzed in love. No matter what, we were a force to be reckoned with! The ultimate couple! No matter what evil comes, we will prevail!
The next morning, I was cooking Bacon Soup. Suri woke up to the smell. "Sorry, it's all I have", I said.
"No problem, Alan. You said this place has been around for 90 years, correct?", Suri replied.
"Yeah. This place was abandoned many years ago. I'm surprised it's still standing. In 1963, a man named Henry Stein vanquished an unnatural evil: his own creation, Bendy. Now, 56 years later, this place has become a home for me. It's probably not the home you want, but it's what we need. No one, not even Rarity, would be foolish enough to come back here and face off against the same horrors Henry once did", I explained.
"Well, as long as we're together, I don't want to be anywhere else", Suri replied.
We smiled at each other.

Chapter Two: Going Deeper
"Alan, look at this. Does that look familiar to you?", Suri asked. She was looking at a wall. There was some kind of message. Suddenly, a filly popped out of a barrel. "Gah! Alan?"
"That's... my daughter", I said. "It looks like... a story." My daughter, a white Alicorn filly named Daylight, climbed out of the barrel. "That octopus."
"I don't think that's an octopus, Dad", Daylight said. "That thing has four legs, not eight." I held up the Seeing Tool. Sure enough, a message written in invisible ink became visible. "I'M STILL HERE."
"Daylight, grab our stuff", I said. Daylight ran back into the room.
"You're... married to Princess Celestia?!", Suri asked.
"Yes. However, the fact that Daylight is the daughter of Princess Celestia puts her in grave danger. We were forced to break up. However, we still remain as good friends. Suri, listen. I want to protect her. She's... five years old. Maybe, just maybe, we can protect her. I need your help", I said.
"I understand", Suri said. "She's important to you."
Once we were ready, we walked out. "For five years, I've been trying to figure out why Bertrum Piedmont went completely insane. Now, we have a lead." As we continued, we heard something running. "The Ink Demon. Run!" We ran, but the Ink Demon was much more faster than us. We pressed ourselves against a wall. Beast Bendy ran into the wall. "Ha-ha-ha!" I continued to run, but I got stuck in a large Bacon Soup Can... on wheels.
"What are you doing?", Suri asked.
"Get me out... oh, no, no, no. Keep going, he's chasing us!", I replied. We continued to run through the foggy studio. I threw a Bacon Soup can, but Beast Bendy batted it away. Daylight used her magic to teleport us. The monster ran into a wall. When we were safe, Daylight and Suri got me out of the large Bacon Soup Can. "Alright, we need to get to the elevator. Bertrum is on Level S." Someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to find Allison Angel and Tom, A.K.A. Allison and Thomas Connor. "Oh. Hey, guys. You'll be happy to hear that the Ink Demon is far away from here, so we should be fine. We need to go down to Level S."
"Well, the elevator's broken. We're gonna have to find another way", Allison said. Tom stared at my daughter and marefriend. They backed away fearfully.
"Tom, that's my family. Leave them alone, please", I said. Tom looked away. I kneeled down to Suri and we kissed passionately.
"Who's that?", Allison asked.
"My future mom, I guess. Dad's in love with that pony", Daylight said. Allison smiled and chuckled a little bit. "I want my dad to be happy. I'll talk to Mom."
Suri and I separated. "Suri, listen. I'm married to Princess Celestia, so I'm sorry we can't get married."
"It's okay, Alan. I'll always love you", Suri said. She pulled me in for a hug. She held me close. We separated. An inky tear streamed down Allison's face. Suddenly, we heard something.
"Looks like we're in for a fight. Get ready", Allison said. Tom threw me an axe. While the three of us were fighting off the Lost Ones and the Searchers, Daylight hugged Suri.
"My dad. I can see he loves you. He's... lonely. Ever since I was born, he's been taking care of me. Now, you and him are in a romantic relationship. I want that to last. Ms. Polomare, you are truly amazing", Daylight said.
During the battle, a small box fell out of my pocket. "The ring!" Allison noticed, and grabbed the box. She tossed it to Suri, who opened it. She noticed a small note: "For Suri Polomare, my one and only." She smiled and watched as Allison, Tom, and I destroyed the monsters. When we were done, I looked at the ring box in Suri's hooves.
"Coco is somewhere in the studio. I need to find her", Suri said. "She would be a better marefriend for you, Alan."
"No. You are my one and only", I said. "I have a feeling that if we find Bertrum, we find Coco." We went into the elevator. Apparently, it wasn't broken.

Chapter Three: Bendy Hell
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.
