"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. 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.
