4014 Batworld
Chapter 24 Bendy, and the Ink Machine
Previous ChapterNext ChapterHalloween had passed a few days after, and all three Agent's were given more time off than expected. Essy Ferguson herself was resting on a chair, as she slept peacefully. Alice Roa herself was busy painting, doing her best to keep the idea of what she had caught her brother about to do with Essy, and also what she secretly did that day to herself. Thankfully helping her paint a picture was nice, and it helped her revel in her artistic side. Alice Roa was almost done with her painting when she came to a realization.
Agent 4014 was doing a very tough challenge, trying his best to carefully stack a bunch of poker card's in a very big triangle shape. He was almost done, and was carefully trying to add the top layer, and finish it, doing his best not to get nervous. Sadly with a simple touch of the final card's the entire deck he had stacked fell apart, as the other card's clattered to the ground, while he still held the final two in his hand's. "AAAAAAHHHHHH" He screamed in a horrible vomiting like sound, as he began running around crashing into thing's waking Essy Ferguson up from her nap. She noticed that Alice Roa had a very sad look on her face, as she went over to her friend.
"Alice....are you ok what's wrong?" Essy asked, as Alice Roa looked at her, holding the paint wheel she had, and her paint brush.
"No black paaaaiiinnnttt" Alice Roa whined, as Essy Ferguson looked at the paint wheel with suprise.
"Where is the paint shop?" Essy asked.
"šµRIIIIIGGGHHHHTTT IN THE CIIIITTTTTYYYYY!!!!!!šµ" Maris Roa sang, as she popped up out of nowhere next to Essy Ferguson.
"AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Essy cried, as she jumped back before letting out a huge sigh. She began taking a small breather, as Maris Roa gave her an innocent smile.
"Follow me, I know where the Paint shop is" Essy told her, as the two nodded, leaving Agent 4014's house, and went to the paint shop in Sin City. They both got there, as Essy Ferguson started banging on the door, not getting an answer, until a sign swayed down, revealing the paint shop to be closed. Essy Ferguson really didn't want to disappoint Alice, and she knew that the mare herself had been acting weird to her for the past few day's, but dared not to bring it up. "Well that's that....I really don't want to go back to her empty handed" Essy Ferguson explained, as Maris Roa let out a long defeated sigh.
Essy Ferguson stopped, as she noticed a strange wooden shop she had not seen before. The place had a bunch of strange cardboard cutout's as the sign on it read. "Bendy, and The Ink Machine.....we sell black paint, and black ink for free.....open 24/7" Maris Roa had also noticed the shop, as both her, and Essy Ferguson gave each other an odd look before they both headed to the shop. Seeing that the sign had black paint, and was open, brought a smile to Essy Ferguson's face. She gave Maris Roa a friendly punch on the shoulder, and laughed.
"Come on Maris....this store has what were looking for......let's go in" Essy Ferguson mentioned, as she started walking into the shop, as Maris Roa hesitated, finding one of the cardboard cuttout's to be a bit ominous, and creepy. Both of them entered the place, as Essy's smile faded, the two realizing that the place seemed very, very old school, and looked like it was worn down. They both moved throughout the creaky wooden door's, watching the huge movie poster's that aligned the wall's. "Bendy in: The Butcher Gang, Bendy in: The Dancing Demon, Bendy in: Sheep Song's with Boris Wolf" and so on.
The two came across, an empty film projector that seemed like it was missing part's. Essy Ferguson let out a whistle, as she pointed to another post that interested them. Maris Roa got the feeling that she was being watched, as she looked behind both of them....only to find nothing. When she turned back, a Bendy Cutout was looking at her from around the corner, as that feeling never went away. Maris Roa got a bit frustrated, until she saw the Bendy Cutout, and began running after it, getting Essy Ferguson's attention. Maris Roa came to a stop, as she was now looking at the head of a Bendy cardboard cutout mounted on the wall.
Maris Roa had her guard up until the Bendy cutout's hand raised up from an ink puddle behind her, and spanked her ass, and vanished into the ink.....causing her eyes to almost pop out of her socket's. The Bendy head laughed, as it turned into a puddle of ink, joining with the other puddle, and moved toward Essy who had turned back to view the poster's, and stood next to her. Bendy began straightening his tie, as Essy Ferguson noticed him, as she karate kicked him into the project screen, starting the projector video, as Maris Roa came running in, watching the video with Essy.
"Hello Friend's....I want to play a game....the door is now locked....." Said the message that flashed onto the projector, as the Door to the entrance clicked behind them....locking both mare's in. "....Find 6 items in my house..." The video said, revealing the item's to be a gear, a music disk, a wrench, a bottle of ink, a Bendy plushie, and a book. The projector stopped filming after that, as Essy, and Maris Roa had a look of horror plastered on their faces. The two heard something, as they turned around watching a tall inky figure run past them, as they looked at each other with a scared expression on their faces.
The figure secretly placed the item's in the area before vanishing. Both Maris Roa, and Essy Ferguson went to the other area to investigate, as they came across the music disk which was one of the first item's. Maris Roa walked over, and grabbed it, as she smiled. "I got it Essy....I've got it" She smiled cheerfully, until the inky figure from before, popped out of an ink puddle behind Maris Roa, as Essy noticed it immedietly.
"MARIS LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!" Essy shouted, as the inky figure grabbed Maris Roa preventing her from being able to move.
"I-I can't move.....AAAAHHHH!!!!!" Maris Roa squealed, as the inky figure had dragged itself, and the bottom half of her body into the puddle.
"Essy....Help!" Maris grunted, as Essy dove in to bring her out, but was too late, as Maris Roa vanished through the ink puddle. Essy looked at the ink puddle with newfound horror, as she slowly began to study it. She saw the Bendy cutout from before spying on her around the corner, as it let out a happy laugh before rushing off. Shock turned into immense rage, as Essy Ferguson pursued after the cardboard cutout with a killer look in her eyes. She ran past an ink message on the wall that read "Dream's come true" as she sought to kill the cutout.
*****
Maris Roa lit her magic horn, as she was in a very dark ocean with black stuff around her. Being an aquatic Changeling, she was immune to drowning, but she could survive in the ink, if she swam in it's untouched oceanic spot's. She heard laughing, as she noticed another one of the Bendy Cardboard cutout's....holding the ink bottle item, while laughing. Maris Roa noticed this, as she brought her Changeling oceanic teeth that made her look more predatory, as the cutout's eyes popped out of it's socket's.
Maris Roa brought out her Changeling predator side, as she charged at the cutout roaring, as the Bendy cutout screamed like a 9 year old girl.
*****
Essy Ferguson had lost the cardboard cutout, as it had ran into an ink puddle that she passed. As Essy was calmly walking around the building, a part of her still hoped that Maris Roa had somehow survived, and would meet back up with her soon. She stopped when she saw another Inky figure with a bane like mask in front of her, as she took a step back. The inky figure pulled out two kitana's, as it let out a psychotic laugh before getting crushed by Maris Roa, who had just come out of an ink puddle from the roof with the ink bottle in her mouth.
"MARIS!!!!!!" Essy smiled, as Maris Roa winked back at her, as she stood up, and pulled the ink bottle out of her mouth. Essy Ferguson gave Maris Roa a big hug, as she smiled. "Your ok" she smiled, as Maris Roa herself sighed.
"Of course I'm ok....I'm from the ocean.....I took care of myself a lot, also check it......" Maris Roa mentioned it, as she seperated from the hug with Essy Ferguson. "....the music disk is intact, and I've got the bottle of ink" Maris Roa smiled, as Essy gave her a warm smile. The body of the ink figure that Maris Roa had crushed earlier exploded, revealing the third item from before. The Bendy cutout had snuck behind the two, as he grabbed Essy Ferguson by the waist, and dragged her through his ink puddle, as he moved to another area, laughing his head off.
Maris Roa was not having it, as she had grabbed the wrench quickly, stuffing the other two item's in her pocket, and pursued after her enemy. She found Essy who was strapped to a wooden version of the dissection table with a different Bendy cardboard cutout that had a psychotic grin on it's face as it laughed, and pulled a lever. A huge buzzsaw came down, turning on, as it began to inch closer to Essy Ferguson, ready to split her face open. The Bendy cutout laughed, as it vanished through, and ink puddle. "MARIS DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!" Essy Ferguson shouted, as the buzzsaw was getting dangerously close to her face.
Maris Roa ran over, and flipped the lever again, causing the buzzsaw to stop spinning...inches from Essy Ferguson's face. Both of them heard the cardboard cutout at the end of the hall, laughing, as it took off. Maris Roa helped untie Essy Ferguson, as they continued throughout the area, coming across the main power to the ink machine itself. It also happened to be the place where the 6 item's needed be placed. Maris Roa, brought out the wrench, the music disk, and the ink bottle, and put them in their right places.
Essy Ferguson noticed that they still hadn't found the gear, the Bendy plushie, or the book yet. "Hmmm we still need those three item's" Essy Ferguson thought, until Maris Roa remembered spotting the gear on her way to save Essy.
"I know where the gear is" She realized, and took off running.
"MARIS WAIT!!!!!!!" Essy Ferguson shouted, but it was too late, as Maris Roa was already gone. Essy was all alone in the room, as the Bendy cardboard cutout from earlier, appeared directly behind, as it spoke.
"Boo" It shouted in a distorted voice.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Essy Ferguson screamed, and took off running. The Bendy Cardboard began laughing....which immedietly faded, as Essy Ferguson came back at the room, charging at the cutout with one of the huge film projector's, and beat it to death. She threw the dead lifeless cutout into the wall, as she put down the projector, panting from her adrenaline rush. "Fuck.....you" She breathed, putting the broken projector down. Maris Roa had found the gear, as she grabbed it, and headed back to the power room.
"I've got the gear" Maris Roa smiled, as Essy Ferguson looked at her with a warm smile.
"Nice job" Essy Ferguson smiled, as Maris Roa saw the dead cardboard cutout which was bleeding ink, next to a smashed film projector.
"What.....happened with him?" Maris Roa asked, as Essy Ferguson gave her a normal look.
"Don't ask" Essy Ferguson replied, with an annoyed huff. They both placed the gear in it's place....leaving only two item's to go. Bendy himself peaked out of the corner, seeing that one of his cutout's had been murdered by his playmates. He let out an angry growl, as an inky black orb appeared in his gloved hand's. Maris Roa, and Essy Ferguson heard the sound of a board breaking, as it collapsed with the ceiling bleeding the ink on the board. The two of them continued looking for the item's, as they both noticed that the wall's had become more ink stained.
Both of them continued down the hallway, until they came across a fork. Two path's lead to two different areas, each containing the item they needed. "I hate to say, it Maris.....but were going to have to split up....you take the left path, and I'll take right." Essy Ferguson explained, as Maris Roa nodded, as they both separated to find the final two item's. Maris Roa came across a hallway with a door, while Essy Ferguson came across an inky, old, wooden classroom, as she also spotted the 5th item...the book. She ran toward it, until a Bendy cutout blocked her path.
It pulled out a baseball bat, while Essy Ferguson grabbed another one of the film projector's, and gave him a psychotic killer look that read "You wanna fuck with ME pal?" Knowing of how the last cardboard cutout met it's fate....this Bendy cutout, kindly dropped the bat, and slowly inched it's way out of there, while wearing a nervous smile. After it was gone, Essy Ferguson put down the film projector, and grabbed the book itself her expression turning back into an innocent smile. Maris Roa looked in a room which came up empty, and went into the hallway.....and froze.
Bendy was at the end of the hall in his cutout form, before turning into his powerful monster ink form, as he dropped the Bendy Plushie that he had which slid over to Maris Roa. She trembled in fear, as the huge ink puddle monster let out a demonic laughter.
Maris Roa screamed, as she ran off, and blocked where he was with board's, before running back to the power room. Essy Ferguson had just gotten back, and had placed the book in it's rightful place, as Maris Roa came in, and did the same with the Bendy Plushie. This made the power switch appear for the ink machine, as Maris Roa went over, and turned it on.
The entire building began sounded like it was breaking down, as all of the room's began flooding with ink. "Ah Great" Maris Roa whined, before Essy Ferguson spoke.
"Come on.....WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!" She shouted to Maris Roa. They both ran through the hallway's, as the place began falling apart. The sound of the board's breaking was heard behind them, of where Maris Roa had built them, as Bendy roared, making her collapse. Essy Ferguson dragged Maris Roa by the leg's, and began running out of there with full speed. They finally exited out of the building, and collapsed onto the friendly concrete of Sin City. Essy Fergusin looked behind her, seeing that the shop transformed into a big building, as the sign's were gone.
A small ink splatter pattern was also where the ink was, as Essy Ferguson let out a happy sigh. Maris Roa had something in her mouth, and vomited out some black ink, along with a small jar of black paint that read "Thank's for playing with me".
*****
Both Essy Ferguson, and Maris Roa had gotten back, both forgetting about the nightmare they went through, and gave Alice Roa her black paint. Alice Roa had began finished her painting, as it was a picture of her cousin, William Gregory. Agent 4014 had finally come back home with his crippled Aunt, as he had two hot pizza's for everyone. Essy Ferguson, Maris Roa, and Alice Roa smiled, as they enjoyed the pizza's with friend's, and family. Alice Roa was enjoying her pizza, but she still couldn't get the event's of Halloween out of her mind, as she looked at Essy, and William Gregory, having a rather troubled look on her face.
