Description (Sophie opens her eyes, her vision was blurry and her ears ring. )

Sophie: Ughh...oh...my head. what the hell just happened? >~O

(Sophie gets back up on the wooden floor, and takes the axe in her hands, knowing she has to find a way out of this  stupid dilapidated studio.)

(swinging the axe, the boards blocking the door split, allowing Sophie to open it and descend down the stairs leading to the Utility Shaft 9. looking around to see splatters of ink everywhere, pentagrams painted on the walls, more Bendy cutouts, cans of Bacon Soup, small candles, and another message in ink reading...)

 "HE WILL SET US FREE"

Sophie: And now I'm even more disturbed. O.O

(she explores the room a bit, and finds another audio log and decides to play it.)


''He appears from the shadows to rain his sweet blessings upon me.
The figure of ink that shines in the darkness. I see you, my savior. I pray that you hear me. Those old songs.. yes I still sing them...for I know you are coming to save me. And I will be swept into your final, loving embrace. But love requires sacrifice...can I get an amen? ''

Sophie: (raises an eyebrow) that guy is  speaking as though he worshiped Bendy as some sort of...god.

(Suddenly she hears...)

"I said...can I get an amen?"

Sophie: (gasps, turns around only to find no one behind her) the hell was that? (sighs, baffled, shakes her head) I don't have time to dwell on this. Getting out of here's my  top priority.


(Continuing on, she came across a corridor flooded with ink. Seeing that she had nowhere else to go, Sophie reluctantly stepped in and began to wade your way through it. Thankfully it wasn't too thick. But as you neared the end, she stopped when she saw some strange figure walking by and carrying a Bendy cutout. and just when Sophie reaches him to ask him for help, he´s gone, leaving the cardboard behind. Sighing, the Lythian turned right, coming to a gate with a lever.)


Sophie: I gotta get this open somehow. wait... the buttons I saw in the other room earlier. maybe I  should turn those on.

(then, she goes to find 3 switches around the place. The first one is next to the "Train Troubles" poster, the second is to the right of the second pentagram, and the last one is hidden behind several Bacon Soup cans on the shelf. These cans are located in the left corner of the room, at the base of a destroyed shelf next to the Bendy cardboard. After they are all found, she returns to the gate and opening it, she entered the next room, which was the Music Department. Looking around, Sophie smiled lightly as she saw more posters of the cartoon characters, as well as one named "Alice the Angel" who was voiced by Susie Campbell. she then sees another audio log and starts to play it, once again, hearing the voice of that...Bendy worshipping man.)

''So first, Joey installs this Ink Machine over our heads. Then it begins to leak. Three times last month, we couldn't even get out of our department because the ink had flooded the stairwell.

Joey's solution? An ink pump to drain it periodically.
Now I have this ugly pump switch right in my office.
People in and out all day.

Thanks, Joey. Just what I needed. More distractions.
These stupid cartoon songs don't write themselves, you know.''

Sophie: well, he isn't kidding...

(she said as she  glances over and seeing that, sure enough, the stairwell leading further down the workshop was flooded. After flipping the "Power" lever and waiting a few moments, she realized that you actually had to start the pump machine itself. she mentally facepalmed herself at this, but hey, at least the lights are back on.  As she passed by the puddles of ink, Sophie suddenly felt something grab her leg, causing her to trip, hitting the ground and dropping her axe.)

Sophie: Agh! what the-?!

(Hearing some gurgling noises, her  eyes widened and she slowly looked over to see that some sort of inky monster grabbed her by the ankle. Although she can barely make out its melting face, she could see an expression on it reflecting pure agony. It almost looked....human.)

Sophie: Hey! let go of me!!!

(Sophie kicks the searcher in the face, she jumped to her feet and grabbed the axe, turning around and swinging it down as the ink monster lunged, somehow splitting it in half and causing it to dissolve. her  eyes widened as several more ink monsters rose up from the other ink puddles, crawling towards her.)

(takes flight with her angel wing, and attempts to use her fire element to summon a flaming bow and arrow, but the flames disappear the moment she does the archer gesture.)

Sophie: H-Huh? what gives?

(Attempts to strike at the ink monsters with her thunderbolt attack, but nothing appeared out of her hands.)

Sophie: (thinking) w-what...?! I can't use my powers! why can't I use my elemental magic?! what's going on here?!

(Sophie looks at the searchers, grasping the axe.)

Sophie: Hey! I still pack a punch, you freaks! (charges at them with a loud war cry) 

(Sophie swung the axe at them and not stopping until she was certain that they were all dead.
By now her tank top and pants were completely splattered in ink, but she was just glad to be alive. Hearing another gate open, she immediately headed through it, eventually coming to Sammy's office, but it was so flooded that she couldn't even get to the door.  activate a gate at the right side of the room, and a ''Recording " letter lights up. Entering through this gate leads Sophie to Sammy's Office, which entrance is also flooded by ink, with a locked closet at the right side of the room.  much to her frustration.)

Sophie: Aaaaargh!!! why is that anywhere I need to go it's always flooded with ink?! I swear to God, if I could use my powers right now, this whole studio would be burned to the ground inside out! ÒAÓ

(The blue angel  sighed and heads towards the closet, only for it to be locked. There is also tape recorder in front of the office. Sophie turned it on and listened to the voice of Wally Franks...)

"So I go to get my dust pan from the hall closet the other day and guess what? I can't find my stupid keys. It's like they disappeared into thin air or something.

All I can think of is that they must have fallen into one of the garbage cans as I was making my rounds last week.

I just hope nobody tells Sammy. Because if he finds out I lost my keys again, I'm outta here."

(After some time, Sophie found a set of keys in one of the trash bins, Going back to the closet, she unlocked it and found another tape on the shelf and played it.)

''Every artistic person needs a sanctuary. Joey Drew has his and I have mine. To enter, you need only know my favorite song:

the violin shudders with a piercing voice. the piano delicately calls. the banjo playfully plucks. the drum thunders in triumph.

sing my song, and my sanctuary will open to you.'' 

Sophie: What's with all these riddles and scavenger hunts? oh well, If it's  the only way to get out of this creepy place then so be it.

(Heading to the theater room, she was seeing several musical instruments, and encountered several more of those inky spawns of Satan, though they didn't give her too much trouble. After stepping inside, she saw another audio log and starts to play it before proceeding further. this time, it was the voice of Norman Polk saying the following...)

"Every day the same strange thing happens, I'll be up here in my booth, the band will be swinging, and suddenly Sammy Lawrence just comes marching in and shuts the whole thing down. Tells us all to wait in the hall.

Then I hear him. He starts up my projector, and he dashes from the projector booth and down to the recording studio like the little devil himself was chasing behind.

Few seconds later, the projector turns off. But Sammy, oh no, he doesn't come out for a long time. This man is weird. Crazy weird!

I got half a mind to talk to Mr. Drew about all this, I really do. But then again, I have to admit. Mr. Drew's got his own peculiarities."



(as she finished listening to the man in the recording tape, she started up the projector before heading downstairs and played the instruments in the order in which she heard Sammy say in the tape. the violin, the piano, the banjo and the drum. Hearing a 'click' noise, Sophie grinned as she solved the puzzle and looked to see another tape recorder, next to the piano. she clicks on it, and listens to the voice of a woman named Susie Campbell saying the following words...)

''It may only be my second month working for Joey Drew, but I can already tell I'm going to love it here!

People really seem to enjoy my Alice Angel voice. Sammy says she may be as popular as Bendy some day.

These past few weeks I have voiced everything from talking chairs and dancing chickens. But this is the first character I have really felt a connection with. Like she's a part of me.

Alice and I, we are going places. ''

(wasting no time after the recording finished, Sophie headed to Sammy's so-called "sanctuary" which contained the flow machine. Once she activated the valve, she turned around and yelped when a Bendy cutout popped out at the end of the corridor.)

Sophie: Ughh! seriously?! ÒmÓ;

(walking out and stopping short when you saw the ink monsters popping up everywhere. Running into the room, she hacked and slashed at them furiously, before she noticed a strange figure up in the balcony. It seemed humanoid and wore some sort of Bendy mask and white overalls. In fact it looked like the same person she saw earlier.)

Sophie: 'Sup? (gestures  at him before running out of the room, with the masked person watching her leave.)


( Sophie then goes to the infirmary that was blocked by ink before and find the second valve. But when Sophie got to the pipe where the valve should be, Sophie notices that the valve was gone. Then she  pulls down the "utility access" lever and go down the flooded sewers. where she sees another message on the wall that said...)

'' DOWN HERE, WE'RE ALL SINNERS''

(Then Sophie wades through the ink coming from an open pipe, and sees another message on the wall saying...)

''THE SHEEP WILL COME TO SLAUGHTER''

(suddenly, she encounters a swollen ink monster, whose holding the second valve. once  Sophie approaches him, it ducks back down into the ink. After walking through the ink further and listening to the recording by Jack Fain.)

"I love the quiet, and that's hard to come by these busy times.

And yeah sure it may stink to high heaven down here. But it's just perfect for an old lyricist like me. Sammy's songs always got some bounce, but if I didn't get away once in a while, they'd never have any words to go with them.

So I'll keep my mind a-singin' and my nose closed."

(Sophie enters a room where the ink monster, that is, Swollen Jack is currently there, a small lift with a crate on it, and two cylinder shaped machines with levers attached to them. Sophie got an idea and started to push the "up" lever on the left machine, which raises the lift, then Sophie must walk towards Swollen Jack until he appears under the lift. Then Sophie   pushes the "down" lever on the right machine, which drops the lift on top of Swollen Jack, killing him. Then Sophie   pick ups the valve.)

Sophie: sorry about that, but I need this.

(Sophie takes the valve back, and puts it in its place, then turns it. After activating the second valve, Sophie goes back to Sammy's Office and opens the door that was blocked with ink and one leak of ink coming from a pipe. Then after opening the door of the office, Sophie activates the pump control. inside where she saw another message that read...)


 IT'S TIME TO BELIEVE

Sophie: I wonder if that masked guy I saw is the one writing those weird messages on the walls. 

(Sophie then headed towards the stairs  to exit the place. But just before she could make it, the blue angel grunted in pain as she  felt something hard hit the back of her head... then a sharp, dull pain before everything turned black, though not before she heard an eerily familiar voice tell her...)

''Rest your head...it's time for bed~''

......

(Groaning, Sophie slowly opened her eyes. Once she came back to her senses, it didn't take  long for her to realize that she was  tied up to a wooden beam. Now confusion began to settle in as you saw the person from before in front of her, holding her axe in his hands.

Sammy: There we go now. Nice and tight. We wouldn't want our sheep roaming away now, would we? no, we wouldn't.

Sophie: You're...you're that Sammy Lawrence guy, right?


Sammy: yes. (chuckles) that is my name, little sheep. I see you followed all my tapes. I must admit I am...honored you came all the way down here to visit me.

Sophie: visit you? I-I...I didn't even know you were-

Sammy: It almost makes what I'm about to do seem....cruel. (walks to place the axe far from Sophie's reach) But the believers must honor their savior. I must have him notice me.

Sophie: Believers? Savior? what the hell are you talking about? (grunts, tugging at the rope tying your hands together in a desperate attempt to free herself.)

Sammy: it doesn't look like we've met before, have we? you are after all, a stranger, an intruder as my lord describes all who enter this damned studio.

Sophie: intruder? me?

Sammy: Yes, our lord is calling to us, my little sheep. the time of sacrifice is at hand! We've been trapped here for so, so long, and no one has come to help us! But...you... you're here now. Thanks to you, I will finally be free from this...prison. This...inky, dark, abyss I call a body.

(It was then Sophie realized... all those ink monsters she slaughtered... they were once humans. At least they weren't suffering anymore, but still she never knew that they became trapped down here and became monsters.)

Sophie: but what do you expect this would accomplish?

Sammy: (places his finger on her lips) Shhh! Quiet! Listen! I can hear him...crawling above. Crawling!

(Sophie  looks up at the ceiling as both of you heard thumping noises.)

Sammy: since you are here, you must let me do this. Be a good little sheep and stay calm.

Sophie: Stay calm?! are you nuts?!

Sammy: This is the only way. The ritual must be completed! Soon he will hear me.....soon he will set us free.

(And with that, he began to walk away, leaving Sophie alone.)

Sophie: Sammy?! SAMMY! HEY! UNTIE ME RIGHT NOW, YOU DAMN LUNATIC!!! (tugs violently at the ropes to try and free herself. and stops when she hears Sammy's voice over the intercom. )

Sammy: Sheep, sheep, sheep. It's time for sleep. Rest your head. It's time for bed. In the morning, you may wake. Or in the morning, you'll be dead. Hear me, Bendy! Arise from the darkness! Arise and claim my offering! Free me, I beg you!


(Sophie gulped, feeling her heart beating fast, and her stomach tie into a knot as she  saw the gate across the room open slowly. As you struggled to break free, you can hear Sammy cry out.)

Sammy: I summon you, ink demon! Show your face and take this tender sheep!


(Sophie closes her eyes tight, expecting a swift death when she heard some banging noises and a growl over the intercom. then, Sammy's panicked voice rang out in the intercom.)

Sammy: No! My lord! Stay back! I am your prophet! I am your-AAAHHHH!!!!

(Sophie heard his loud, terrified screams were all you heard before he was silenced, possibly forever. she finally snapped the ropes,  grabbed the axe to kill the ink monsters that appeared. Then, she enters the hall in front of her and breaks the wood boards blocking the way. Breaking the last wood board will cause the axe to break.  she prayed it would get her as far away from Bendy as possible. But then suddenly the head on the axe fell off.)

Sophie: well, shit...now what do I do?

(As Sophie stepped into the ink, however, she screamed as she saw Bendy rise up from the pond. He was a lot taller and skinnier  bearing that same, haunting grin. His bowtie was visible, although it was melting just like the rest of his body was. his arms spread, and without warning, the creature let out an ear shattering shriek and lunged towards Sophie, teeth bared and ready to kill her.

Sophie ran as fast as she could to get away from this demon. she took the path to the right (the path Sophie came from is now blocked by debris) and go through, where the Corridor Maze is, keep on running away as quick as possible in a straight pass and head right, left, right, left, left and right, the door at the end of the hall and then enter the S3 Vault. Sophie immediately slams  the door shut before the Ink Demon could reach her. she heard him bang on the door, hearing his growls as well as...whimpers...? then she hears his footsteps fade as he walked away.)

Sophie: (leans back against the door, panting heavily as she gasps for air.) that...was a close call. OoO

(The room she was in is filled with Bendy dolls and a couple of machines attached to the wall. then, she looks down sadly. in that moment, everything hit her at once, swirling like a whirlwind in her mind. she had so many questions....and not enough answers. Just thinking about them, about that Ink Demon that tried to kill her just now made her sick to her stomach. she then snaps back to reality when she sees a Bacon Soup can  rolling on the wooden floor.)

Sophie: Hello? Wh-Who's there? come out and show yourself. I...I'm not afraid.

(Hearing footsteps, she patiently waited for the person to reveal themselves. But, of all people, she never expected them to be none other than...)

Sophie: (with a surprised look on her face) Boris? O.O
