"Who you callin' dummy, dummy?", Slappy asked. "Uh, sorry. Pharynx is a little... stubborn. He's my older brother", Thorax said. "Stubborn? More like rude", Slappy said under his breath. "I'm the protector of this kingdom, so if you do something funny, I'm kickin' you out!", Pharynx said. Slappy rolled his eyes. "Someone has anger issues", Slappy said. Suddenly, the trio heard monkeys shrieking. "Oh, jeez. Those are the Murder Monkeys from Dark Deception. I can take care of these things." The five Murder Monkeys entered the Changeling Kingdom. They looked at the ventriloquist dummy and shrieked. Suddenly, a large insect-like creature appeared behind Slappy and destroyed the Murder Monkeys. Pharynx reverted back to his original form. "Whoa. Thanks." "Ready or not, here I come!", a little girl's voice shouted. "Agatha! Run!", Slappy said. The trio ran off, but Agatha chased them. "Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! No chance to fight or even pray!", Agatha shouted. "Come out, come out wherever you are! You can't hide forever!" Agatha walked through the Changeling Kingdom looking for Slappy, but Thorax and Pharynx hid him in an unseen location. "Thanks, guys. But we're not safe yet. Look!", Slappy said. A statue stood before them. "Don't take your eyes off of that statue. It's a Gold Watcher. There's three more around here. I'm gonna go look for them. They'll follow me, so I can lead them here. If those things are here, I can deal with Agatha." Slappy walked out. Another Gold Watcher stood before him. "Hey, stone brain!" The Gold Watcher looked at the ventriloquist dummy. "Catch me if you can, you big dummy!" The Gold Watcher started chasing the ventriloquist dummy, who led the Gold Watcher to where Thorax and Pharynx hid. "You two keep an eye on these guys. I'm going after the other two. Remember, they won't move if you keep your eyes on them." Slappy ran off. He saw some changelings looking at a Gold Watcher. "Hey! You guys think you can make him chase you? Follow me!" The swarm ran after Slappy, and the Gold Watcher obviously chased the swarm. They managed to lead the Gold Watcher to where Thorax and Pharynx hid. "Three down." Slappy ran back out, and sure enough, the fourth and final Gold Watcher stood before him. "Catch me if you can, you big dummy!" The ventriloquist dummy ran off, luring the Gold Watcher into the trap. "There! All four Gold Watchers are in one area. Now I can deal with Agatha." Slappy ran off. "How big is this place?", Agatha asked. "Who knows?", Slappy said. Agatha turned around. "Found you!", Agatha said. However, another Slappy appeared. "What the hell?" Two more appeared. Before she knew it, Agatha was surrounded by hundreds of Slappys. "Sweet mother of Slappy! How is this possible?!" "It's not. One of us is the real Slappy. The rest of us are changelings", a Slappy said. "But the question is, which one of us is the real Slappy?" "Simple. Only the real Slappy would know the answer to this question", Agatha said. "What is R. L. Stine's full name?" "Robert Lawrence Stine! Uh-oh", the real Slappy said. "What the hell is that?!" The changelings and Agatha followed Slappy's gaze. A puddle of thick, black ink was behind Agatha. A creature appeared from it. "I don't know, but I do know one thing: RUN!", Agatha shouted. Slappy, Agatha, and the changelings ran to where Thorax and Pharynx hid. They explained the situation. Pharynx flew out. "Holy shit! That's a Lost One!", Pharynx said. He delivered a series of punches and kicks, but the Lost One was unaffected. Suddenly, the Gold Watchers appeared. "This ends now!", Agatha shouted. She summoned more Gold Watchers, surrounding the Lost One. The Gold Watchers cackled maniacally. They bombarded the Lost One with swings from their axes. Eventually, the Lost One fell to the ground, dead. "That should do it. There's probably more around here." "Why are you so worried about the Lost Ones?", Slappy asked. "90 years ago, a studio under the name 'Joey Drew Studios' created a cartoon character named Bendy. However, Mr. Joey Drew eventually built an ink machine. It caused multiple problems for the employees at Joey Drew Studios. They thought he went crazy. Eventually, Thomas Connor unleashed a nightmarish creation: a demonic version of the cartoon character. He was able to somehow contain it. Eventually, Joey started sacrificing his employees. The result? They turned into living nightmares. Susie Campbell turned into Alice Angel, Norman Polk turned into the Projectionist, Allison Pendle turned into a warrior Angel, Thomas Connor turned into a warrior Wolf, etc. Very few survived. Henry Stein, Joey, and Wally Franks survived, and Allison and Thomas managed to escape. However, there's a malevolent demon out there, and he must be vanquished", Agatha said. "I'll do it. If these things are invading the Changeling Kingdom, chances are they'll bring their friends. We need to go to... whatever that place is called and shut Bendy down", Pharynx said. "Okay. I'll notify Alan", Slappy said. "Agatha, go with Pharynx." "I don't need help!", Pharynx said. "Oh, fine. I need to know what I'm doing, anyways. Come on." Pharynx and Agatha ran off. The Gold Watchers mysteriously disappeared. Slappy ran off as well. "What has the world come to?", Thorax asked under his breath. Meanwhile... "Slappy's been gone for quite a while now. I wonder if he's okay", I said. Back in the Changeling Kingdom... "How big is this place?", Agatha asked. "Don't know, don't care", Pharynx said. "What the hell is wrong with you?", Agatha asked angrily. "Do you have mental problems?" "No. I'd rather protect the Changeling Kingdom alone. You're only coming with because I need your help", Pharynx said. "Whatever. Those things can appear at any moment. Stay alert", Agatha said. "Can you hear it? Can you feel his immortal presence? It is time. Set us free", a creepy voice said. Author's Note More to come... I planted some Ralph Breaks The Internet Easter Eggs in here. Chapter Two: The Demons Born From Ink"So, you're from Dark Deception, right?", Pharynx asked. "Do you think you can summon some more Gold Watchers?" "If I spawn any more Gold Watchers, we'll be drawing attention to ourselves. We need to limit the casualties", Agatha said. "Whatever. We need to follow the trail of those Lost Ones. Hop on", Pharynx said. Agatha hopped onto Pharynx's back. The changeling flew to higher ground. He spotted a black trail. "There. I see a trail." The duo followed the trail. Back at the Changeling Kingdom... "Your Highness", I said. "Slappy told me that your younger brother is looking for a demon?" "That's right. He's a bit stubborn, but he means well", Thorax said. "Interesting. Come on, Slappy", I said. We left. Meanwhile... "What the hell?", Agatha said. Numerous Lost Ones appeared in front of the duo. "I have an idea", Pharynx said. He cleared his throat and spoke in a familiar voice. "In a time of tribulation, where the walls seem to have cracked and crumbled underneath you... What must you do for your kingdom when all you want to do is run and find help? You travel the darkened fields in search for an answer... But you're not alone... You find another castle crumbling and another ruler seeking for help. Lost within the gaze of a doppelganger identity, you seek to help rebuild each others castle... But what happens when both paths intertwine too emotionally... Something you already had and felt strong having throughout the future, lost within the ideology of a brand new light... You infatuate yourself into this life, doing everything you can to keep it close to you, feeling like everything you had was dying and in desperate need of a bright new future... You find later down the line that what you seeked was already there in front of you, but because of your infatuation with making somebody elses castle yours as well, you crumble the foundations of everything around you. Your henchmen, unsure of what to do, scatter across the field, becoming nothing more than a pack of wild boar, not sure where their prey is... Your consellors, giving you the very thing you needed to stay strong, but at the end of the day, did you really want to be proven wrong again?... Your ideology of making things right set you on an egosentric adventure to try and rectify this yourself... But when you know your light has been jaded, do you really know where the right way is deep down? You meet at a crossing point, where everyone around you is trying to fix things without their ruler, creating a new empire for themselves, but can only find so much wrong with it when they realize they were the very thing that kept the castle going... They run in aid in a desperate persistance to get you back to your kingdom to rule again... But so much has happened. Eventually two sides are now fighting over you, which castle do you take, which is right and which is wrong... A war begins to erupt, every side in a vicious circle pit, and you're the toy kicked around... Suddenly, you flee, you run to the farthest ends of the world to seek your own choices, believing you had finally escaped, you found a magical lake, a spirit emerges, but it isn't scary... Because that spirit is you... Trying to talk to yourself, trying to find the things that went wrong, the things that went right... Oh how you yearned for your life to be back the way it used to be, where your kingdoms stood tall, and in the event of your bricks crumbling, act upon it as quickly as possible instead of running for an unpersuable dream... The realization, the epiphany, the very things around you already building back the past for themselves... You are given the most powerful sword you've ever seen, a magical weapon that when pushed into the ground and into the belly of the beast, turns everything back to the way it was... Your kingdoms are stronger again, but everything that you ever learned about the future... Stays with you... What does this mean to you fellow traveller? It means don't take anything that fills you with peace for granted. If a dark shadow is emerging over this once peaceful land, cast it away with everything you've got, try to fix it instead of destroy it... Don't let yourself get caught up in somebody elses life when you have your very own to live... When greeted to a new life when your own was very fine, learn to negate it and stay true and loyal to your journey No matter what shadow comes over you, and no matter what peace you find, never go through life regretting a single thing. Your book is your own, and if written the right way, can be the very thing that makes you interesting to read. Every warrior has their scars... But it takes actions with those scars to rectify their entire existance... What can you do with your scars?... Rebuild this Castle... That never dies..." "What are you, fucking gay?", the Lost Ones said in unison. "Uh...", Pharynx said. "Die!" He and Agatha battled the Lost Ones, but they were quickly overwhelmed. "Okay, then. Fus-ro-dah!", Agatha shouted. She conjured an energy ball and threw it at a Lost One. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GET IT OFF!", the Lost One shouted. The energy ball sucked the other Lost Ones towards it. Soon enough, the ball exploded. The duo kept on following the trail of ink. "Thank you", Pharynx said. "You saved my life." "No problem. Come on. I think we're getting close", Agatha said. A seemingly old changeling was in the distance. "Wow", the old changeling said. "Hey, Agatha? I think... I think I... I think I like you", Pharynx said. "Yeah, I know", Agatha said. "Come on, Pharynx. We're almost there. If we get out of this alive, I might consider being your... wife." The demonic girl winked. Pharynx tackled her and they kissed passionately. Author's Note More to come... Only a true Marvel Comics fan will recognize this "changeling". Chapter Three: Eveline"Hello", a voice said. Agatha and Pharynx separated and turned around. "Who's there?", Agatha said. A figure, not much bigger than Agatha, was in the distance. "Uh-oh." "Who's that?", Pharynx asked. "Eveline from Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, a popular video game", Agatha answered. "She's an evil little bitch. She wishes for a family so she can be loved, but at the same time, wishes for immortality so she can dominate the world." Agatha took on a fighting stance. Eveline did the same. The two girls locked eyes. "This is gonna be easy. You're a zombie. I'm a genetically enhanced bioweapon. I can control the minds of the ones you love", Eveline said. Agatha tackled Eveline, and the two girls fought. "You forgot one thing. You're actually an old lady", Agatha retorted. She tossed Eveline aside. "Not anymore!!!", Eveline bellowed. Her eyes glowed red, increasing her strength. She whacked Agatha, but Pharynx delivered a hard kick. He took Eveline into the air and dropped her. The monstrous young girl's arm and legs flailed wildly as she neared the ground. However, at the last second, she caught herself, and flew up into the air. Pharynx transformed into his beast-like form, dubbed "The Incredible Changeling", and battled Eveline, now known as "E-001". The Changeling's stinger plunged into E-001's heart, causing the villain to scream. However, the bioweapon quickly overpowered the Changeling. Agatha looked around desperately. She looked up at the battle. Her eyes glowed red, and she leaped up into the air, grabbing E-001. She took a knife out of her skirt pocket and stabbed it through the bioweapon's head. E-001 let go of the Changeling, and the two girls plummeted towards the ground, still fighting. Agatha jumped upward, and landed in the arms of her lover. E-001 was unable to slow her descent. However, she began to change form. Soon enough, E-001 was covered in mold, and she achieved her final form. "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" Agatha stood on the Changeling, facing the genetically enhanced bioweapon that stood in front of them, now looming at a mighty fifty feet high. Agatha leaped at the bioweapon and stabbed it in the heart, to no avail. She scaled the enormous body until she reached the head. She took a gun out of her skirt pocket and fired at the head. The bioweapon roared painfully. "No! What are you doing? That stuff can kill me! You'll kill us both!" Agatha, not responding, fired three more times. The bioweapon let out an inhuman roar. A look of realization touched Agatha's face. She looked at the magazine. Five bullets left. The gun she wielded was an Albert-01. She fired five more times. The bioweapon's body started to crumble. No... no... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not again! NOOOOOOOOoooooooo..." The bioweapon's massive body calcified and broke into dozens of pieces. Agatha emerged from the rubble with eyes in her eye sockets. She looked... alive. She crawled away from the rubble. The Changeling reverted back to his original form. Suddenly, a hand shot out from the rubble! Eveline crawled on all fours towards the duo with a feral look in her eyes. Suddenly, a Murder Monkey smashed Eveline's face in between its cymbals, killing her. Blood and bits of her brain squirted out from between the cymbals. The duo cringed. The Murder Monkey walked off, still banging its cymbals together. The duo walked off in the opposite direction. Fears All the things I've done I carry with regret Intentions laid to waste Is there any way to forget? In this realm of mystery I'll dance with my own destiny I sense a neverending evil Lurking in the fray Have I lost my way? Memories They cut me deep inside Control me No, I don't feel alright So many fears Now I must find new light Hidden in the dark Deception in her heart Can't go back Only my death awaits Can't lose track It's time to change my fate So many tears I cannot shed tonight Running from the dark I will not fall apart Elevator goes up But I don't really know what's up Human spirits scattered through these halls I will see this through 'Cause there's nothing else that I can do Memories They cut me deep inside Control me No, I don't feel alright So many fears Now I must find new light Hidden in the dark Deception in her heart Got to hurry There's monkey business all around me I can't be doomed to die So many tears I cannot shed tonight Running from the dark I will not fall apart Pick up the pieces, solve the riddle of heaven Unleash the power and the armageddon I'm not ready for another nightmare I'm not ready for another nightmare I'm not ready for another NIGHTMARE!!!!! In this realm of mystery I'll dance with my own destiny I sense a neverending evil Lurking in the fray I have lost my way Memories They cut me deep inside Control me No, I don't feel alright So many fears Now I must find new light Hidden in the dark Deception in her heart Can't go back Only my death awaits Can't lose track It's time to change my fate So many tears I cannot shed tonight Running from the dark I will not fall apart A Piper clone appeared in front of the duo. It limped towards them. Luckily, Agatha was able to finish it off easily. "We're getting close", Agatha said. "There's probably more of those things around here. Be careful." As if on cue, a Fisher clone appeared and started swinging its head around. Agatha revealed a set of claws on each hand. She quickly killed the clone. A Striker clone appeared. Pharynx quickly finished it off. "These things have seen better days." The duo continued on. Unbeknownst to them, the three inky corpses came back to life. They headed off in the opposite direction, towards the Changeling Kingdom. Unfortunately, Pharynx and Agatha didn't notice. The three malformed monstrosities limped towards the Changeling Kingdom. Author's Note More to come... Chapter Four: Samara MorganAs the duo approached the giant building, they took in the breathtaking sight. The 90-year old animation studio, now Bendy's lair, still stood tall. Unfortunately, the door was locked. "Uh, Agatha? What's that?!", Pharynx asked. A ghostly pre-teen was standing in the distance. "Dammit", Agatha said. "Seven days ago, I watched a greyscale recording that looked like something that came out of a horror movie. I guess this is the reason for its existence. Samara Morgan. She wants the same thing Eveline wanted. However, this... thing is stronger than you think. One little thing, though. You can't kill what's already dead." "Then I'll take him instead", Samara said in a distorted voice. "Get ready for some paranormal activity", Agatha said. She lunged at the ghost, fangs exposed. She bit down on the ghost's neck, hard. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!", Samara shouted. She flung Agatha off her neck, sending her flying. Agatha leaped off a wall and tackled Samara. She unleashed all of her fury on Samara. For some strange reason, Agatha was just overpowering Samara. "Calm down! I understand you're pregnant, but holy shit!" Pharynx's eyes widened. During their make-out session, Pharynx and Agatha had sex. "Impossible! A human can't crossbreed with a changeling!", Pharynx said. "Time to end this", Agatha said. She absorbed Samara into a projector and burned it, ending the ghost and her reign of terror. "Pharynx... we need to go." Pharynx nodded affirmatively. He picked up his girlfriend and flew off with a look of determination. During Agatha's nine months of pregnancy, she married Pharynx. Thorax was overjoyed to hear that he would be an uncle. Soon enough, Agatha gave birth to a healthy baby changeling girl, who they named Serena. They left their daughter in the care of Thorax and ran back to the studio to the end the demon. Suddenly, Samara tackled Pharynx, fully resurrected and ready to fight. She then grabbed Agatha and pulled her into Samara's monochromatic world. In the well, the two girls continued fighting. "If you're taking me to the grave, you're coming WITH ME!", Samara roared. "I don't think so!", Agatha retorted. She knocked Samara out and scaled the well. Samara regained consciousness, grabbed Agatha's leg and fused with her. "No!" She was almost to the top of the well. "You'll kill us both!" Agatha let go of the well and fell... until Pharynx grabbed her arm. "Let go! She's inside of me!" Pharynx closed his eyes, releasing a wave of energy. Samara's ghost was forced out of Agatha's body, causing Agatha to reveal her true form: a beautiful changeling princess. She was the same size as Pharynx, but resembled a "reformed" Queen Chrysalis. Her chitin was bright blue, and her eyes were like a normal pony's eyes. Together, Pharynx and Agatha closed the well, trapping the now-resurrected Samara inside. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", Samara shouted as the lid, oddly smaller than the opening, crushed her. The duo were transported back to the real world. "I'm gonna find a way inside", Agatha said. Suddenly, Thorax appeared. "Pharynx! Agatha! Ink monsters back at the Changeling Kingdom!", Thorax said. The trio flew off. Trinity Lost in the fear. Fear we'll never meet again. See, my heart will breathe forever. For a moment, I held you through this dark abysmal flame. 'Cause all it takes is a bit of belief. You can take it all. So take the breath before you skip the beat. Be released. Free your heart. Find the disconnect in our world. We do the things we thought impossible! (Impossible!) Tear through the darkness from up above! (Up above!) This is the dawn of the unstoppable! Don't think I forgot about you. Your life is the next in line. Don't think I've broken off from everything that's yours and mine! Maybe we fell short of the light, but the heart is the one that fights! As long as it beats for you, I'll find you all on the other side! So take the breath before you skip the beat. Fly! This is not goodbye! Even lost in the darkness with loss and deprival! I will see you at the end of the line! Open the door! Wave your hand through the water! Find the light! Deep in the anarchy is my trinity! As long as time exceeds us, we prevail! (We prevail!) Hearts intertwined as we set the sail! (Set the sail!) For every world has a different tale! Testify! It's live or die! Through the disconnect in our world! Don't think I could leave without you. You're the reason my heart is fine. As long as it beats for you, I'll find you all on the other side! So take the breath before you skip the beat. Fly! This is not goodbye! Even lost in the darkness with loss and deprival! I will see you at the end of the line! Open the door! Wave your hand through the water! Find the light! Deep in the anarchy is my trinity! I'm knocking on your door, yet no one's listening to me. I'm barging through the glass, yet no one sees my reflection. Contest them all! Even if you're hard of hearing, I'll just keep trying! As long as you breathe! No matter if you're blinded! Our heart stays binded! Keep reaching out! Put all your care in one melody, and I'll be there! Unlock the door, throw away the key. Tear the drapes, reveal the cold deceit. FLY! THIS IS NOT GOODBYE! EVEN LOST IN THE DARKNESS WITH LOSS AND DEPRIVAL! I WILL SEE YOU AT THE END OF THE LINE! OPEN THE DOOR! WAVE YOUR HAND THROUGH THE WATER! FIND THE LIGHT! DEEP IN THE ANARCHY IS MY TRINITY!!! UNLOCK THE DOOR, THROW AWAY THE KEY! TEAR THE DRAPES, REVEAL THE COLD DECEIT! AND I'LL BE THERE!!! "What the hell?!", Pharynx and Agatha said in unison. The Butcher Gang clones they thought they killed earlier were standing in front of them. The trio leaped at the Butcher Gang, and a battle ensued. Author's Note End of Act 1.

Chapter One: A New Threat"Why does Alan need me?", Pharynx asked. "And why did he send a dummy to get me?" "Who you callin' dummy, dummy?", Slappy asked. "Uh, sorry. Pharynx is a little... stubborn.

Slappy, Agatha, and the changelings ran to where Thorax and Pharynx hid. They explained the situation. Pharynx flew out. "Holy shit! That's a Lost One!", Pharynx said. He delivered a series of punches and kicks, but the Lost One was unaffected. Suddenly, the Gold Watchers appeared. "This ends now!", Agatha shouted.

I'll notify Alan", Slappy said. "Agatha, go with Pharynx." "I don't need help!", Pharynx said. "Oh, fine. I need to know what I'm doing, anyways. Come on." Pharynx and Agatha ran off. The Gold Watchers mysteriously disappeared. Slappy ran off as well. "What has the world come to?", Thorax asked under his breath. Meanwhile... "Slappy's been gone for quite a while now. I wonder if he's okay", I said. Back in the Changeling Kingdom... "How big is this place?", Agatha asked. "Don't know, don't care", Pharynx said. "What the hell is wrong with you?", Agatha asked angrily. "Do you have mental problems?" "No. I'd rather protect the Changeling Kingdom alone. You're only coming with because I need your help", Pharynx said. "Whatever. Those things can appear at any moment. Stay alert", Agatha said. "Can you hear it? Can you feel his immortal presence? It is time. Set us free", a creepy voice said. Author's Note More to come... I planted some Ralph Breaks The Internet Easter Eggs in here.
Chapter Two: The Demons Born From Ink"So, you're from Dark Deception, right?", Pharynx asked. "Do you think you can summon some more Gold Watchers?" "If I spawn any more Gold Watchers, we'll be drawing attention to ourselves. We need to limit the casualties", Agatha said. "Whatever. We need to follow the trail of those Lost Ones. Hop on", Pharynx said. Agatha hopped onto Pharynx's back. The changeling flew to higher ground. He spotted a black trail. "There. I see a trail." The duo followed the trail. Back at the Changeling Kingdom... "Your Highness", I said. "Slappy told me that your younger brother is looking for a demon?" "That's right. He's a bit stubborn, but he means well", Thorax said. "Interesting. Come on, Slappy", I said. We left. Meanwhile... "What the hell?", Agatha said. Numerous Lost Ones appeared in front of the duo. "I have an idea", Pharynx said. He cleared his throat and spoke in a familiar voice. "In a time of tribulation, where the walls seem to have cracked and crumbled underneath you... What must you do for your kingdom when all you want to do is run and find help? You travel the darkened fields in search for an answer... But you're not alone... You find another castle crumbling and another ruler seeking for help. Lost within the gaze of a doppelganger identity, you seek to help rebuild each others castle... But what happens when both paths intertwine too emotionally... Something you already had and felt strong having throughout the future, lost within the ideology of a brand new light... You infatuate yourself into this life, doing everything you can to keep it close to you, feeling like everything you had was dying and in desperate need of a bright new future... You find later down the line that what you seeked was already there in front of you, but because of your infatuation with making somebody elses castle yours as well, you crumble the foundations of everything around you. Your henchmen, unsure of what to do, scatter across the field, becoming nothing more than a pack of wild boar, not sure where their prey is... Your consellors, giving you the very thing you needed to stay strong, but at the end of the day, did you really want to be proven wrong again?... Your ideology of making things right set you on an egosentric adventure to try and rectify this yourself... But when you know your light has been jaded, do you really know where the right way is deep down? You meet at a crossing point, where everyone around you is trying to fix things without their ruler, creating a new empire for themselves, but can only find so much wrong with it when they realize they were the very thing that kept the castle going... They run in aid in a desperate persistance to get you back to your kingdom to rule again... But so much has happened. Eventually two sides are now fighting over you, which castle do you take, which is right and which is wrong... A war begins to erupt, every side in a vicious circle pit, and you're the toy kicked around... Suddenly, you flee, you run to the farthest ends of the world to seek your own choices, believing you had finally escaped, you found a magical lake, a spirit emerges, but it isn't scary... Because that spirit is you... Trying to talk to yourself, trying to find the things that went wrong, the things that went right... Oh how you yearned for your life to be back the way it used to be, where your kingdoms stood tall, and in the event of your bricks crumbling, act upon it as quickly as possible instead of running for an unpersuable dream... The realization, the epiphany, the very things around you already building back the past for themselves... You are given the most powerful sword you've ever seen, a magical weapon that when pushed into the ground and into the belly of the beast, turns everything back to the way it was... Your kingdoms are stronger again, but everything that you ever learned about the future... Stays with you... What does this mean to you fellow traveller? It means don't take anything that fills you with peace for granted. If a dark shadow is emerging over this once peaceful land, cast it away with everything you've got, try to fix it instead of destroy it... Don't let yourself get caught up in somebody elses life when you have your very own to live... When greeted to a new life when your own was very fine, learn to negate it and stay true and loyal to your journey No matter what shadow comes over you, and no matter what peace you find, never go through life regretting a single thing. Your book is your own, and if written the right way, can be the very thing that makes you interesting to read. Every warrior has their scars... But it takes actions with those scars to rectify their entire existance... What can you do with your scars?... Rebuild this Castle... That never dies..." "What are you, fucking gay?", the Lost Ones said in unison. "Uh...", Pharynx said. "Die!" He and Agatha battled the Lost Ones, but they were quickly overwhelmed. "Okay, then. Fus-ro-dah!", Agatha shouted. She conjured an energy ball and threw it at a Lost One. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GET IT OFF!", the Lost One shouted. The energy ball sucked the other Lost Ones towards it. Soon enough, the ball exploded. The duo kept on following the trail of ink. "Thank you", Pharynx said. "You saved my life." "No problem. Come on. I think we're getting close", Agatha said. A seemingly old changeling was in the distance. "Wow", the old changeling said. "Hey, Agatha? I think... I think I... I think I like you", Pharynx said. "Yeah, I know", Agatha said. "Come on, Pharynx. We're almost there. If we get out of this alive, I might consider being your... wife." The demonic girl winked. Pharynx tackled her and they kissed passionately. Author's Note More to come... Only a true Marvel Comics fan will recognize this "changeling".
Chapter Three: Eveline"Hello", a voice said. Agatha and Pharynx separated and turned around. "Who's there?", Agatha said. A figure, not much bigger than Agatha, was in the distance. "Uh-oh." "Who's that?", Pharynx asked. "Eveline from Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, a popular video game", Agatha answered. "She's an evil little bitch. She wishes for a family so she can be loved, but at the same time, wishes for immortality so she can dominate the world." Agatha took on a fighting stance. Eveline did the same. The two girls locked eyes. "This is gonna be easy. You're a zombie. I'm a genetically enhanced bioweapon. I can control the minds of the ones you love", Eveline said. Agatha tackled Eveline, and the two girls fought. "You forgot one thing. You're actually an old lady", Agatha retorted. She tossed Eveline aside. "Not anymore!!!", Eveline bellowed. Her eyes glowed red, increasing her strength. She whacked Agatha, but Pharynx delivered a hard kick. He took Eveline into the air and dropped her. The monstrous young girl's arm and legs flailed wildly as she neared the ground. However, at the last second, she caught herself, and flew up into the air. Pharynx transformed into his beast-like form, dubbed "The Incredible Changeling", and battled Eveline, now known as "E-001". The Changeling's stinger plunged into E-001's heart, causing the villain to scream. However, the bioweapon quickly overpowered the Changeling. Agatha looked around desperately. She looked up at the battle. Her eyes glowed red, and she leaped up into the air, grabbing E-001. She took a knife out of her skirt pocket and stabbed it through the bioweapon's head. E-001 let go of the Changeling, and the two girls plummeted towards the ground, still fighting. Agatha jumped upward, and landed in the arms of her lover. E-001 was unable to slow her descent. However, she began to change form. Soon enough, E-001 was covered in mold, and she achieved her final form. "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" Agatha stood on the Changeling, facing the genetically enhanced bioweapon that stood in front of them, now looming at a mighty fifty feet high. Agatha leaped at the bioweapon and stabbed it in the heart, to no avail. She scaled the enormous body until she reached the head. She took a gun out of her skirt pocket and fired at the head. The bioweapon roared painfully. "No! What are you doing? That stuff can kill me! You'll kill us both!" Agatha, not responding, fired three more times. The bioweapon let out an inhuman roar. A look of realization touched Agatha's face. She looked at the magazine. Five bullets left. The gun she wielded was an Albert-01. She fired five more times. The bioweapon's body started to crumble. No... no... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not again! NOOOOOOOOoooooooo..." The bioweapon's massive body calcified and broke into dozens of pieces. Agatha emerged from the rubble with eyes in her eye sockets. She looked... alive. She crawled away from the rubble. The Changeling reverted back to his original form. Suddenly, a hand shot out from the rubble! Eveline crawled on all fours towards the duo with a feral look in her eyes. Suddenly, a Murder Monkey smashed Eveline's face in between its cymbals, killing her. Blood and bits of her brain squirted out from between the cymbals. The duo cringed. The Murder Monkey walked off, still banging its cymbals together. The duo walked off in the opposite direction. Fears All the things I've done I carry with regret Intentions laid to waste Is there any way to forget? In this realm of mystery I'll dance with my own destiny I sense a neverending evil Lurking in the fray Have I lost my way?

It limped towards them. Luckily, Agatha was able to finish it off easily. "We're getting close", Agatha said. "There's probably more of those things around here. Be careful." As if on cue, a Fisher clone appeared and started swinging its head around. Agatha revealed a set of claws on each hand. She quickly killed the clone. A Striker clone appeared. Pharynx quickly finished it off. "These things have seen better days." The duo continued on. Unbeknownst to them, the three inky corpses came back to life. They headed off in the opposite direction, towards the Changeling Kingdom. Unfortunately, Pharynx and Agatha didn't notice. The three malformed monstrosities limped towards the Changeling Kingdom.

Chapter Four: Samara MorganAs the duo approached the giant building, they took in the breathtaking sight. The 90-year old animation studio, now Bendy's lair, still stood tall. Unfortunately, the door was locked. "Uh, Agatha? What's that?!", Pharynx asked. A ghostly pre-teen was standing in the distance. "Dammit", Agatha said. "Seven days ago, I watched a greyscale recording that looked like something that came out of a horror movie. I guess this is the reason for its existence. Samara Morgan. She wants the same thing Eveline wanted. However, this... thing is stronger than you think. One little thing, though. You can't kill what's already dead." "Then I'll take him instead", Samara said in a distorted voice. "Get ready for some paranormal activity", Agatha said. She lunged at the ghost, fangs exposed. She bit down on the ghost's neck, hard. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!", Samara shouted. She flung Agatha off her neck, sending her flying. Agatha leaped off a wall and tackled Samara. She unleashed all of her fury on Samara. For some strange reason, Agatha was just overpowering Samara. "Calm down! I understand you're pregnant, but holy shit!" Pharynx's eyes widened. During their make-out session, Pharynx and Agatha had sex. "Impossible! A human can't crossbreed with a changeling!", Pharynx said. "Time to end this", Agatha said. She absorbed Samara into a projector and burned it, ending the ghost and her reign of terror. "Pharynx... we need to go." Pharynx nodded affirmatively. He picked up his girlfriend and flew off with a look of determination. During Agatha's nine months of pregnancy, she married Pharynx. Thorax was overjoyed to hear that he would be an uncle. Soon enough, Agatha gave birth to a healthy baby changeling girl, who they named Serena. They left their daughter in the care of Thorax and ran back to the studio to the end the demon. Suddenly, Samara tackled Pharynx, fully resurrected and ready to fight. She then grabbed Agatha and pulled her into Samara's monochromatic world. In the well, the two girls continued fighting. "If you're taking me to the grave, you're coming WITH ME!", Samara roared. "I don't think so!", Agatha retorted. She knocked Samara out and scaled the well. Samara regained consciousness, grabbed Agatha's leg and fused with her. "No!" She was almost to the top of the well. "You'll kill us both!" Agatha let go of the well and fell... until Pharynx grabbed her arm. "Let go! She's inside of me!" Pharynx closed his eyes, releasing a wave of energy. Samara's ghost was forced out of Agatha's body, causing Agatha to reveal her true form: a beautiful changeling princess. She was the same size as Pharynx, but resembled a "reformed" Queen Chrysalis. Her chitin was bright blue, and her eyes were like a normal pony's eyes. Together, Pharynx and Agatha closed the well, trapping the now-resurrected Samara inside. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", Samara shouted as the lid, oddly smaller than the opening, crushed her. The duo were transported back to the real world. "I'm gonna find a way inside", Agatha said. Suddenly, Thorax appeared. "Pharynx! Agatha! Ink monsters back at the Changeling Kingdom!", Thorax said. The trio flew off. Trinity Lost in the fear. Fear we'll never meet again. See, my heart will breathe forever. For a moment, I held you through this dark abysmal flame. 'Cause all it takes is a bit of belief. You can take it all. So take the breath before you skip the beat.

UNLOCK THE DOOR, THROW AWAY THE KEY! TEAR THE DRAPES, REVEAL THE COLD DECEIT! AND I'LL BE THERE!!! "What the hell?!", Pharynx and Agatha said in unison. The Butcher Gang clones they thought they killed earlier were standing in front of them. The trio leaped at the Butcher Gang, and a battle ensued. Author's Note End of Act 1.
