Description
(Rubbing her eyes, Sophie quickly got to her feet, looking behind her to see the completely destroyed elevator.)

Sophie: Well...so much for having a one-way-trip out of this hellhole. -.-'

(she faced forward and saw she was on Level S.)

Sophie: Level S, Huh? God only knows what horrors lie this deep in the studio. Regardless, I have to press on and rescue Boris. I'm not about to leave him with that monster of an angel any longer. I hope the Tommy Gun is still functional though... (pulls out the gun)

(with the Tommy Gun in hands, Sophie made the journey down the corridor, coming across a sign that labeled all of the rooms nearby. You went to the "Archives", only to see that the turnwheel was missing from the metal door. she turned the opposite way and headed back, entering the door on her right to check.

Immediately she froze up upon seeing all of the numbers and words like "TAXES" and "TIME IS MONEY" scrawled in ink on the walls, practically covering every inch of them. There was no doubt in Sophie's mind that this was Grant Cohens's office. Of course he was always annoyed with how Joey constantly threw ideas left and right that cost the studio a fortune, so she didn't think for a second this was all his doing.

she sees another audio log on the desk, and played it, although she nearly dropped it as she heard nothing but painful, hoarse screams, gagging sounds, and even glass shattering. Then it ended with some garbled, growling noises, and that gave her a good idea as to what happened to the accountant. the mere thought about it sent shivers down her spine.

At this point, though, Sophie hardly had any words left.

But on the bright side, she found the turnwheel and grabbed it, returning to the metal door, sticking it on and opening it. Upon entering, though, she was greeted by a rather...disturbing sight.)

Sophie: what the bloody hell...? O.O

(Thin, lanky ink people frozen like statues, seemingly worshiping a statue of Bendy with the banner "HE WILL SET US FREE" hanging above them.)

Sophie: I hope they aren't disciples of Sammy that were going to hunt me down to avenge their leader or something.

(Fortunately, they didn't move, so she continued on anyway, walking around the Archives, she sees another audio log on the table, and plays it, listening to the voice of Susie Campbell.)

"They told me I was perfect for the role. Absolutely perfect.
Now Joey's going around saying things behind closed doors.
I can always tell.

Now he wants to meet again tomorrow, says he has an "opportunity" for me.
I'll hear him out. But if that smooth talker thinks he can double cross an angel and get away with it, well, oh he's got another thing coming.

Alice, ooh she doesn't like liars."

(after the recording finished, she starts to push in the books that jutted out from the bookcases so she'll be allowed entry into the Privates room. But when she pushed in the one in the center of the library, her vision blurred and Sophie began to hallucinate, seeing the light above swinging and hearing indescribable whispers fill her eardrums. Seconds later, it stopped, and she shook your head.)

Sophie: What the hell was that? maybe I'm finally going crazy from this whole ordeal?

(She went in search for the remaining books and finally got the door open. but before she went in, she heard sound of a cardboard box moving. she went back to the area with the frozen inky people around the Bendy statue.)

Sophie: Hello? Is somebody here? (looks around) I won’t hurt you. I’m… a friend. So Please come out. Ó.Ò

(there was small angel toon, with a white halo. looking at Sophie from his hiding place, unsure if she was friend or foe.  the cartoon angel was hiding behind a box in hopes she never notices him.)

Sophie: I'm lost here, and looking for my buddy. He was kidnapped by Alice and… I don’t know what to do. If I’m being honest, Everything in this studio wants me dead. Especially Bendy. U~U (sighs, sits down) I should never have come here. But I was looking for some kind of adventure… but it’s just the trouble with me. Ú.Ù what the hell did Joey do to you guys? why is Bendy constantly trying to kill me?

(The toon listened to her, while still being nervous of her presence. he peeked a bit to have a clear look at her. he watched as she hugs her knees, not noticing him. he carefully tiptoes out of his hiding spot.)

Sophie: Ah! And… sorry if I frightened you, whoever you are, with my presence. but I promise not to hurt you. Ó.Ò

(the small angel toon still didn’t trust her and tiptoed as quietly as possible away from her.)

Sophie: (sighs) well, I guess I should continue my way. (Gets up, begins to walk) hopefully Bendy isn’t out there. Hm? O.O (finally notices the small cartoon angel)

Angel Toon: OMO !!!! (freezes like deer in the headlights)

Sophie: You're...Bailey...! OoO

(The toon named Bailey's eyes widen in fear.)

Bailey: EEP! OAO *flies off*

Sophie: Ah! where are you going? wait-!

Bailey: >M< *been in too much of the studio to even trust a friendly face, his wings flapping fast to get away from Sophie*

Sophie: (spreads her own wings and goes after Bailey) please, come back! I mean no harm! ÓoÒ

(Bailey flies off without looking back, with Sophie following him into some bizarre ravine, which made her stop and gawk for a moment, watching as Bailey flew forward into the darkness, far from her sight.

Sure this place was huge, but you didn't think it would be....anything like this.)

(Sophie had to fix the bridge somehow, so she wandered for a bit until she came across some kind of giant hydraulic compressor. After raising the lever, it was raised up, and when she turned the wheel on the pipe, a swollen ink creature popped up, groaning deeply in pain. On its back was some kind of ink blob that stuck out. there was an ink maker created by the Gent company, and any ink blob put into it would come out as an item, depending on which one the dial was turned to. So Sophie took a deep breath and grabbed the blob from the creature just as it disappeared back into the pool of ink.

she returned to the maker and created a gear, placing it on the machine that controlled the bridge, before finally getting on it and gliding across the bottomless ravine. Once she got off of it, Sophie entered a long corridor, when suddenly, she froze in her place as her vision brightened and saw thin, inky arms reaching out to her from the walls. )

Sophie: Stop it! make it stop! (rubs her eyes in annoyance, looking up to see the hallway now empty. then starts to think) am I  really this exhausted to the point of hallucinating? Or maybe the ink is finally getting to my head...?

(Either way, she just had to brush it off and keep going. As she was travelling up the stairs, Sophie heard a voice that she dreaded hearing especially at a time like this.)

Twisted Alice: I see you there, my little errand girl. Your angel is always watching. What is it that keeps you going? Is it the thrill of the hunt? The thirst for your freedom? Or perhaps...you're just looking for a little, friendly, wolf.

Sophie: I swear if you touch him, "Alice", It will be your last mistake!

(Twisted Alice merely chuckled at her words)

Twisted Alice: Better hurry, errand girl. Boris is having trouble staying in one piece.

Sophie: NO!

(she sprouts her angel wings and takes flight, fury was boiling in her veins as she became determined to save her toon friend and give that fake angel a piece of her mind.

But when she reached a small lounge area with a few sofas, a gramophone, and a balcony, she slowed down, confused when a beautiful, yet soft and sad melody, began playing. Then, she heard a few sniffles, whimpers, and hiccups. Looking up, Sophie saw one of those ink people walking across the balcony, his glowing, yellow-orange eyes showing nothing but despair.)

"He's going to find me! He always finds me! Oh no! I just want to go home! When do we go home? WHEN DO WE GO HOME?!"

(Sophie's heart suddenly ached for that poor man, and her previous anger from before was replaced with...sadness.
Surely he wasn't related to those mindless, eyeless Searchers she has encountered before...right?

Once she entered the door just below the walkway, however, she froze when she saw a whole group of ink people, either standing in place, sitting on the floor, or huddle together. Just like that man she saw before, they all looked so lost and...hopeless.

But as she closed the door behind her, some of them looked at Sophie, but didn't do anything even as she walked past them.)

((CUE OST: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckBjji… ))

Sophie: My God...what happened to all of you?

(and then, a few of the Lost Ones started to sing...)

'' we cannot see, in the dark we all wait.
until the day, he will set us all free

Imperfections made us into this ink
and still even, we hold unto this dream.

that somehow he will set us FREE.''

Sophie: Ó.Ò

Lost Ones: (singing one by one)

''When do we go home?
when do we go home?
when do we go home? (when do we go home?)
when do we go home? (when do we go home?)
WHEN DO WE GO HOME? (when do we go home?)
WHEN DO WE GO HOME? (when do we go home?)
when do we go home...? (when do we go home?)
when do we go home...? (when do we go home?)

please let me go home...
please let me go home...
please let me go home... ''

(as their song of despair ended, Sophie received nothing but blank stares. still her heart ached for them, for she felt their pain as if they were her own.

Then she noticed a lone ink person crying in the corner. Feeling like she needed a rest, and because he looked like he needed someone to talk to. Sophie went over and sat down against the wall, moving the candle over a bit. With a soft sigh she glanced at him, gently tapping his shoulder.)

Sophie: Hey...

(His sobs ceased and he looked at Sophie, his eyes holding that same sorrow.)

Lost One: I-I'm so cold...and tired... I-I just wanna be with my family again. I didn't...w-we never asked for this!

(she frowned slightly, bringing him into a hug without any hesitation. At this point she didn't care how much ink stained her clothes. Sophie was surprised they didn't turn completely black by now.

He seemed confused by her gesture, but when she tightened the embrace, he whimpered softly and wrapped his lanky arms around the young woman, hiccuping.)

Lost One: Th-Thank you...a-at least..one person f-from the outside cares.

Sophie: There's always someone who's going to care. even in the most darkest of places. ÓwÒ

Lost One: W-Will you set us free...?

(For a moment she hesitated, unsure of how to answer him, before she sighed.)

Sophie: I'll... do my best. I have an ink demon and...( gaze shifted to the wall that was painted with the words. "NO ANGELS") ...and an angel to catch so we'll see.

(Then she slowly released the ink man, looking to see his eyes a bit wider and...happier.)

Lost One: Then w-we won't keep you waiting... p-please, g-go through the vent.

(He pointed to the vent entrance. Sophie glanced over and saw another ink person walk towards her, handing her a flashlight. Then another one came over to help her to her feet.

With a smile, she headed there, but before she entered, she glanced at the creatures one final time. They were all watching her, hope glimmering in their eyes as if they hadn't experienced such a feeling in years. she gave them a simple nod and a look of promise in her eyes, before she finally proceeded through the vent, crawling her way through.

Eventually, Sophie came across a grate, although she was aiming to go left. But she screamed, and hit her head on the upper part of the vent, as none other than Bendy suddenly popped up, bracing his hands on the grate. Sophie rubbed her head in pain as she stares at Bendy. Strangely enough, though, he didn't try to tear it off, but that didn't mean she wasn't angry at him, especially considering what he did to all those poor people she just met.

He tilted his head to the side and dragged his finger across the slat, before he made a "follow" gesture to Sophie, as if he was teasing her. Then he slinked out of view.)

Sophie: So that's the game you want to play, huh? Well so be it.

(and she carried on.)

....
(Eventually, Sophie reached an open vent which will drop him in front of the door to Storage 9.
Sophie climbs up the stairs, which a sign pointing up with the phrase "COME UP AND SEE ME" is painted and an "ALMOST THERE" painted on another part of the stairway. At the top within Bendy's mouth, there are concept sketches all over the walls, and on the table is an audio log and Sophie decides to play it.)

"For forty years, I've built attractions that stagger the imagination! Colossal wonders such as the world has never seen! I have earned my legacy with sweat.

But right in front of everyone... high level investors, Wall Street tycoons, the ever-tactless Joey Drew introduces me, the great Bertrum Piedmont, as Bertie! Like I was his child.

You may be paying me, Mister Drew! But you don't own me! I'll build you a park bigger than anything YOU could ever possibly conceive! But before you go taking any bows, Mister Drew, know that this grand achievement will belong to me... and to me alone."

(Then she heard the door to Storage 9 open downstairs, and she headed there to see what else she could find. The moment Sophie entered, light filled the room and she was greeted by a large sign that said "BENDY LAND", although someone had painted the word "HELL" over the second word. This area is a large, spacey warehouse containing lots of shelves, crates, pallets and cement bags. The location contains three amusement park games, being a strength tester, "Bottle Wallop!" and "Bull's Eye Bonanza". There are also four doors leading into other subsidiaries of the warehouse.

she wandered around a bit, looking at the carousel horses and the giant Alice heads, before she stumbled across a series of levers connected to the Haunted House attraction. It didn't take a genius to know that she had to power them up somehow to get through.)

Sophie: Hang in there, Buddy. I'm coming...

(first, Sophie  had to play Bottle Wallop and Bull's Eye Bonanza so she could get the first metal door open. then, she accessed one of the five levers.

The next location took Sophie to the Research and Design Department, where Butcher Gang clones were gathered around a fire, completely oblivious to her presence. To distract them, she had to toss some Bacon Soup cans around, before shooting them down one by one with the Tommy Gun. Once she did that, she entered a room with the lever and a Bendy animatronic laying on a table, with one of its arms missing. she sees another audio log and decides to play it...)

"The only thing that works around here is my ulcer. Half these people don't know a wrench from a dang steamroller. Buncha morons is what they are. Spend their day in the warehouse arguin' over who's supposed to be doin' what or playing them silly games. Still, I'm not complainin'. I get most of my time to myself. Suits me just fine. Only thing that bothers me is that mechanical demon in the corner. Bertrum's been working on it for a month now. Says it will walk someday and maybe dance. All it does now is give me the creeps. I swear, when my back's turned, that thing's movin'."

(as soon as she finished listening, she flipped the second main lever which powered the door to the Haunted House, and progressed to the third area. along the way, she saw Bailey again, who caught sight of her and flew away from her out of fear and distrust, despite seeing her comforting one of the Lost Ones earlier back in that room. which made his fear of her lessen...only for a little bit, but kept watching her from a distance where she couldn't see him.)

(And sure enough, in the Attraction Storage room, was Bertrum's infamous octopus-like ride. It still seemed to be in pretty good shape despite being stuck underground after all this time. Then you saw another tape recorder on the nearby table and walked over to it, pressing the play button, hearing the amusement park creator's voice once more.)

"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!''

(Sophie's  eyes widened as she saw the bulbs around the rim of the ride light up, before she heard the sounds of machines cranking and whirring, growing louder by the second. almost as if...)

Sophie: (looks at the ride in the center starting to move) Uh oh... O.O'

"This is my park! My glory! You may think I'm gone, but I'M STILL HEEEEEERE!!"

(She took a step back as the arms of the ride came to life, lifting off the ground on their own. But in the center of it, a window opened up as she saw none other than Bertrum's giant, disembodied head inside of it, still alive and breathing.)

Sophie: Holy Shit! that's Bertrum?! OmO

(Then the ride began spinning around, only stopping to smash the table in front of her with its arm. In doing so, however, it revealed an axe, which she quickly grabbed off the floor. Looking across the room, Sophie saw that the metal doors leading to the lever and back to the rest of Storage 9 were both closed, meaning she had no choice but to fight Bertrum.)

Sophie: Bertrum! stop! I'm not Joey!

(Sophie hoped that she could somehow reason with him and get him to stop. At first he did freeze and look at her, and she got a chill from the way his wide, lidless eyes stared into her very soul. she lowers the axe a bit, walking over to him slowly.)

Sophie: What happened to you? Did Joey turn you in this?

(For a few moments he was silent, before his expression shifted into one of pure rage.)

Bertrum: Of course...of course, of course!! Everything's Mr. Drew's fault! IT'S ALL HIS FAULT!!! HE MADE ME DO THIS!!! BUT NOW HE WILL TRULY FACE THE WRATH AND MIGHT OF THE GREAT BERTRUM PIEDMONT!!!

(Sophie got hit by one of Piedmont's four  carts, sending her flying backwards and hit the ground. she stares up a bit, grasping her axe as she sprouts her angel wings to take flight to avoid being hit again.)

Sophie: (thinking) It's clear that he had gone completely insane, his mind is tainted by the cursed ink that plagued every other person and creature I've come across until this point. I have to put him out of his misery once and for all.

(Then she saw the arm that attacked her slam into the ground several times, somehow not breaking the floor, before it twitched and collapsed, needing time to recharge. Then, Sophie saw the loose bolts and got an idea: if she destroyed those, you'll deactivate the arms. It was risky considering there were four arms and four bolts on each one, but it was worth a shot.

When the arm rose back up and the ride started to rotate again, she gripped her weapon tightly, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Sophie: Sorry, Bertie. ..but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to close you down permanently.

(Sure enough, Sophie destroyed all of the arms that made up the ride Bertrum possessed. After the steam blew out of it, everything fell silent as he gazed at her one last time, his expression filled with nothing but sadness and distraught, as the windows closed and he was no longer visible to you.)

Sophie: Sorry it had to end like this. But there was no other way.

(she wiped the sweat and ink off her forehead, looking around to see the damage he had done to the room.)

Sophie: Now...to get that lever.

(Unfortunately, the axe was in pieces by the time the battle was over, at least she still had the Tommy Gun. As soon as she located the lever, Sophi pulled it and returned to the panel, activating that lever which would power the main gateway into the Haunted House. Now all she had was one to go, but she had a bad feeling it was going to be the most challenging to find.)

(Sophie followed the final power cable to the maintenance section. Humorously enough, on the walls there were the words "CHOO CHOO" written in ink this time, as opposed to some creepy, cryptic message. One of them was scrawled in front of a toy wooden train and next to a poster of Bendy in a train. Somehow this silly little thing managed to make her chuckle.

Continuing further, Sophie saw a sign for the "Buddy Boris Railway", a sort of train ride experience that would've taken guests through Bendy Land, although, like many of the attractions underground here, that never saw the light of day. she then turned left and descended down some stairs, coming across an inky pool where she could see the flickering light of a familiar monster, making her eyes widen in fear.)

Sophie: Shit! how is the Projectionist still alive?! I thought I did him in back in the Inky Abyss!

(her heart rate accelerated as she froze in place, hoping the Projectionist didn't hear her footsteps and voice. Thankfully, he did not as he waded away. Then with a deep breath, she continued down the stairs, being as quiet as a mouse even though she still made a lot of noise once you entered the pool.

As she searched all around, Sophie marveled at the train engines that were stored down here. Although she didn't stare for too long as she located a lever that said "Lift Control". It would most likely give her access to the top floor, so she quickly pulled it down. But right as she did, the angel's expression morphed into one of panic when she heard the Projectionist roar.)

Sophie: OH SHIT!

( she quickly ran up to the next floor, dashing across the balcony. she tried to shoot him down with the Tommy Gun, but due to the panic, her aim was off, but she found the last lever and yanked it down.  And then...all of the lights in the room turned off, before they came back on. When you turned around the Projectionist was nowhere to be found.)

Sophie: Huh? where did he go? O.O

(She shrugged and headed back down the stairs. To her surprise he had disappeared entirely, although knowing him, she knew he'd probably come back sometime soon.

As she waded back to the stairs she first went down, Sophie comes across another tape Joey made and starts to play it.)

"I believe there's something special in all of us. With true inner strength, you can conquer even your biggest challenges. You just have to believe in yourself and remain honest, motivated, and above all, who you really are.

Ok, let's stop it right there. I can only do so many takes of this trash a day. And tell the guys in writing I want more use of the word dreaming in every message. Keep railing on that, get it? Dreaming! Dreaming! Dreaming! People just eat up that kind of slop. Hmm, what? It's still on? Well, turn it off, damn it!"

(after listening to it, Sophie finally discovered Joey's true nature...  his cheerful, motivational talks were but a mere facade to cover his greedy and selfish nature. His obsession with making "dreams come true" often clouded his judgement.)

Sophie: now I understand why everyone here...especially Bendy...hate this man so much to the point of wanting him dead.

(With a quiet sigh, she set down the tape, before she made her way up the stairs, not knowing that Bailey was flying above her, quietly watching her... despite him being nervous of her at first, he wanted to at least make sure she was indeed a friendly face.)

''U-Umm... hello...?''

(Sophie looks behind her and saw Bailey flying towards her slowly.)

Sophie: Bailey? O.O What are you doing here?

Bailey: I...I've seen you give hope to those Lost Ones back there. and I watched as you fought the monster Bertrum had become, and... well...

Sophie: were you...following me? O.O

Bailey: I still don't know if I can fully trust you, but I'm sorry I ran away from you earlier. after everything that happened because of Joey, its hard to to tell between friends and foes.

Sophie: I get what you mean...I was tricked to do Alice's bidding...and look what happened because of that. I thought she was a friend, but turns out she was an enemy. it's okay if you're still afraid to trust me. I mean, I got myself into this mess in search for some kind of adventure, and...well...look at me. -.-

Bailey: (looks around) this area is too dark to converse. we should find some other place so you can understand exactly what's going on.

Sophie: Okay...

(with Bailey joining her, both he and Sophie reached the stairs, however, they only got up two steps before they heard a deep bellow and saw those flickering lights again. Sophie immediately grabs Bailey and rushed towards the Miracle Station that was directly in front of her, slamming the door shut and turning around, her face paling as she realized he was standing right there, and Bailey held onto her tightly, very afraid of this creature.)

Sophie: no, no, no, no, go away, go away, go away, go away! OmO

Bailey: >m<

( the Projectionist gazed at Sophie's cowering figure, crouching slightly as he cocked his head to the side. he reached towards them, only to stop as a bright flash lit up the area and inky webs splattered the walls. Turning away, he roared in fury at an unknown figure...which turned out to be none other than Bendy as he lunged at him. Sophie covered her mouth with one hand, as the other held Bailey, both of them watching in shock and utter horror as the two threw punches at each other like savage animals. Although the Projectionist put up quite a fight, he was easily overpowered as Bendy grabbed him and tore his head clean off.

As the now deceased ink monster's body slumped to the ground, Bendy stared at the head for a moment, before he chucked it at the door, making her and Bailey jump in surprise. Then he stared at them with a malicious grin, although instead of attacking them, he simply took the Projectionist's body and dragged him out of view.

Once the inky webbing vanished, she waited a few moments before emerging from the station. Looking down, the toon angel and the blue angel saw the head of the Projectionist, the only part of him that remained. she picked it up and frowned, then she glanced over to see that the metal door was open, and the wall adjacent to it had a big ink splatter.

Sophie: where did he take the body? Why was he messing with me like this? just... is his end goal, besides trying to kill me and anyone who crosses his path?

Bailey: (frowns a bit, with a sad look.)  the only way your questions will be answered is by continuing forth.

(Once they have entered the Haunted House, Sophie and Bailey approached one of the carts, hearing a monster's voice chuckling in the background, serving as ambiance. On the wall they could see the words "TURN BACK". they were confused as to who could have written that, but regardless, it seemed they had no way of turning back the moment you walked into the studio.)

(So they sat in the cart, pulling down the lap bar, before they heard "Alice" speak, holding tightly onto the frightened little angel.)

Twisted Alice: And now, the ride truly begins, Sophie. Come in, and pretend it's all just a bad dream.

Sophie: I wish it was. -.-

(The gates in front of them opened, and the cart started to move along the track. On the bright side, she was glad she wasn't going alone through the horrors of a studio, since she found Bailey, who still can't fully trust her. and it was okay.

looking around at the fake tombstones and monstrous eyes in the brick walls. As they rounded the corner, a cardboard ghost popped out from one of the tombstones, but she wasn't fazed by that as she kept looking all around the decrepit attraction. Sophie did have to lean to the other side of the cart to avoid an inky waterfall, though.)

Twisted Alice: It's a funny thing... How so much can fall apart so fast, We never really had control at the studio. Either you're in someone's pocket, or you were putting someone into yours. I just wanted what was promised to me. I just wanted to be beautiful! Surely you can understand that.

Sophie: Woman, I think you have a very skewered definition of "beautiful".

(Twisted Alice huffed in irritation at her remark.)

Twisted Alice: Sophie...why are you here? We're all dying to find out. Do you just enjoy the terror of the drop into Hell? Because if that's the case...hang on tight. I've got a surprise~

(Another gateway opened, and after they passed through the final one, Sophie and Bailey were taking into an area that had the two angels' jaw dropping in awe: they found themselves in some sort of. ..massive ballroom, with a beautiful and bright chandelier, intricate wallpaper, barrels and furniture scattered throughout, and creepy paintings. It was definitely unlike anything you've ever seen before.)

Sophie: Man..this place makes "Heavenly Toys" look tiny.

(As they were taking all of this in, they didn't even acknowledge the dark room they were approaching until they heard the creak of yet another gate and looked forward, realizing they were heading into nothing but total darkness.

Then as the cart came to a stop, the angels both yelped when they saw two massive, gloved hands grab onto the railing, before a familiar face with Xs for eyes lurched forward, broken bones and pipes sticking out of his now bulky body, and a broken dog cone resembling a halo surrounding his head.)

Sophie: B-Boris?! (covers her mouth in horror, seeing the one who she called friend groan and convulse a little, as though he felt like vomiting) No, no, no...wha..what did she do to you?!

(But instead of answering her question, he grabbed the whole cart and pushed her and Bailey back out into the ballroom, before tossing it towards the center, all while "Alice" laughed maniacally. Fortunately the lap bar was raised, so the two angels were able to get out with only a few scrapes. Once they recovered Sophie stood up and saw Boris stomping towards her, swinging his arms, with Bailey taking flight behind the brunette young woman.)

Sophie: I can't believe it... That bitch....turned the only friend I had in this studio into yet another abomination!

Twisted Alice: Meet the new and improved Boris!! I took what I wanted, and in return, I gave him so much more! And this time, there's no Ink Demon, no escape...BORIS! TEAR THEM APART! LEAVE NOTHING!

(With tears blurring Sophie's vision, she started to shoot at him with the Tommy Gun, but none of the shots affect Brute Boris, knowing she had no choice but to kill him and put him out of his misery. Bailey sees one of the Gent machines. They required blobs of ink in order to produce a weapon that could land some damage.

Hearing a crash, Bailey looked over his shoulder to see Boris ram into a wall, with Sophie barely able to dodge. But he took a few steps back and held his torn chest, as though he was in pain. Sophie saw ink gushing out, before spotting a big blob of it land a few feet away from her. she hears Bailey call her quickly over to the Gent machine. and Without any hesitation she dashed over to grab it and throw it into the machine, swapping it for a pipe.

After grabbing it, Sophie turned and saw the monster sprint towards her, although she was quick to dodge as he crashed into some carts and furniture. she seized the opportunity to strike him several times. Unfortunately, the pipe wasn't too durable, as it eventually broke and she had to keep going back and forth to the machine, all while dodging Brute Boris' attacks.

With a shout of frustration, she threw the weapon at him and he stopped moving, collapsing to his knees as he convulsed and gripped his chest tightly, before he fell onto his back.)

Sophie, Bailey: Boris!

(they ran over to him and knelt by his side, ignoring "Alice"'s screams of anger as she placed her hand on his head.)

Twisted Alice: NO! NO, NO, NO! WHY CAN'T YOU EVER JUST DIE?!

Sophie: I-I'm..I'm so sorry I had to do this to you... T~T

Bailey: QmQ TmT

(Brute Boris let out a few groans and whines as he tried to reach his hand out to Sophie, only for her to grab it and holding it tight. )

Sophie: it's gonna be okay now... You're still a good boy. Q~Q

(Her words seemed to comfort Buddy Boris, as he saw an image of his mother flash in his mind, along with seeing his former human life flash before him in the eye of his mind. he gave Sophie what appeared to be a smile, before thick ink coated his entire body and, within mere seconds, he dissolved and vanished before Sophie and Bailey's eyes. at least he won't be suffering anymore... his soul is free now and he can rest in peace.)

(Bailey was about to reach his hand towards Sophie's hand, but then,  With a gasp they both turned to see Twisted Alice charging at them, screaming in fury as she clawed at the air, intending to kill the angels with her own two hands. In that moment, though, they were frozen on the spot. Bailey hid behind Sophie, as she aimed the Tommy Gun at her, prepared to shoot her dead.

But then, out of nowhere, a blade pierced her chest, going right through her inky heart. When it retracted she looked down at the wound, and then up to Sophie as she let out a wheezing groan, before she collapsed onto her side and fell to the ground, dead and gone at last.

When Sophie and Bailey look to see who their savior was, their eyes widened as they were greeted by a more perfect version of Alice with a sword coated in ink and a restored version of Boris, although this one sported a mechanical arm and a pipe for a weapon.)

Sophie: Who...are you two? O.O

Description
(Rubbing her eyes, Sophie quickly got to her feet, looking behind her to see the completely destroyed elevator.)

Sophie: Well...so much for having a one-way-trip out of this hellhole. -.-'

(she faced forward and saw she was on Level S.)

Sophie: Level S, Huh? God only knows what horrors lie this deep in the studio. Regardless, I have to press on and rescue Boris. I'm not about to leave him with that monster of an angel any longer. I hope the Tommy Gun is still functional though... (pulls out the gun)

(with the Tommy Gun in hands, Sophie made the journey down the corridor, coming across a sign that labeled all of the rooms nearby. You went to the "Archives", only to see that the turnwheel was missing from the metal door. she turned the opposite way and headed back, entering the door on her right to check.

Immediately she froze up upon seeing all of the numbers and words like "TAXES" and "TIME IS MONEY" scrawled in ink on the walls, practically covering every inch of them. There was no doubt in Sophie's mind that this was Grant Cohens's office. Of course he was always annoyed with how Joey constantly threw ideas left and right that cost the studio a fortune, so she didn't think for a second this was all his doing.

she sees another audio log on the desk, and played it, although she nearly dropped it as she heard nothing but painful, hoarse screams, gagging sounds, and even glass shattering. Then it ended with some garbled, growling noises, and that gave her a good idea as to what happened to the accountant. the mere thought about it sent shivers down her spine.

At this point, though, Sophie hardly had any words left.

But on the bright side, she found the turnwheel and grabbed it, returning to the metal door, sticking it on and opening it. Upon entering, though, she was greeted by a rather...disturbing sight.)

Sophie: what the bloody hell...? O.O

(Thin, lanky ink people frozen like statues, seemingly worshiping a statue of Bendy with the banner "HE WILL SET US FREE" hanging above them.)

Sophie: I hope they aren't disciples of Sammy that were going to hunt me down to avenge their leader or something.

(Fortunately, they didn't move, so she continued on anyway, walking around the Archives, she sees another audio log on the table, and plays it, listening to the voice of Susie Campbell.)

"They told me I was perfect for the role. Absolutely perfect.
Now Joey's going around saying things behind closed doors.
I can always tell.

Now he wants to meet again tomorrow, says he has an "opportunity" for me.
I'll hear him out. But if that smooth talker thinks he can double cross an angel and get away with it, well, oh he's got another thing coming.

Alice, ooh she doesn't like liars."

(after the recording finished, she starts to push in the books that jutted out from the bookcases so she'll be allowed entry into the Privates room. But when she pushed in the one in the center of the library, her vision blurred and Sophie began to hallucinate, seeing the light above swinging and hearing indescribable whispers fill her eardrums. Seconds later, it stopped, and she shook your head.)

Sophie: What the hell was that? maybe I'm finally going crazy from this whole ordeal?

(She went in search for the remaining books and finally got the door open. but before she went in, she heard sound of a cardboard box moving. she went back to the area with the frozen inky people around the Bendy statue.)

Sophie: Hello? Is somebody here? (looks around) I won’t hurt you. I’m… a friend. So Please come out. Ó.Ò

(there was small angel toon, with a white halo. looking at Sophie from his hiding place, unsure if she was friend or foe.  the cartoon angel was hiding behind a box in hopes she never notices him.)

Sophie: I'm lost here, and looking for my buddy. He was kidnapped by Alice and… I don’t know what to do. If I’m being honest, Everything in this studio wants me dead. Especially Bendy. U~U (sighs, sits down) I should never have come here. But I was looking for some kind of adventure… but it’s just the trouble with me. Ú.Ù what the hell did Joey do to you guys? why is Bendy constantly trying to kill me?

(The toon listened to her, while still being nervous of her presence. he peeked a bit to have a clear look at her. he watched as she hugs her knees, not noticing him. he carefully tiptoes out of his hiding spot.)

Sophie: Ah! And… sorry if I frightened you, whoever you are, with my presence. but I promise not to hurt you. Ó.Ò

(the small angel toon still didn’t trust her and tiptoed as quietly as possible away from her.)

Sophie: (sighs) well, I guess I should continue my way. (Gets up, begins to walk) hopefully Bendy isn’t out there. Hm? O.O (finally notices the small cartoon angel)

Angel Toon: OMO !!!! (freezes like deer in the headlights)

Sophie: You're...Bailey...! OoO

(The toon named Bailey's eyes widen in fear.)

Bailey: EEP! OAO *flies off*

Sophie: Ah! where are you going? wait-!

Bailey: >M< *been in too much of the studio to even trust a friendly face, his wings flapping fast to get away from Sophie*

Sophie: (spreads her own wings and goes after Bailey) please, come back! I mean no harm! ÓoÒ

(Bailey flies off without looking back, with Sophie following him into some bizarre ravine, which made her stop and gawk for a moment, watching as Bailey flew forward into the darkness, far from her sight.

Sure this place was huge, but you didn't think it would be....anything like this.)

(Sophie had to fix the bridge somehow, so she wandered for a bit until she came across some kind of giant hydraulic compressor. After raising the lever, it was raised up, and when she turned the wheel on the pipe, a swollen ink creature popped up, groaning deeply in pain. On its back was some kind of ink blob that stuck out. there was an ink maker created by the Gent company, and any ink blob put into it would come out as an item, depending on which one the dial was turned to. So Sophie took a deep breath and grabbed the blob from the creature just as it disappeared back into the pool of ink.

she returned to the maker and created a gear, placing it on the machine that controlled the bridge, before finally getting on it and gliding across the bottomless ravine. Once she got off of it, Sophie entered a long corridor, when suddenly, she froze in her place as her vision brightened and saw thin, inky arms reaching out to her from the walls. )

Sophie: Stop it! make it stop! (rubs her eyes in annoyance, looking up to see the hallway now empty. then starts to think) am I  really this exhausted to the point of hallucinating? Or maybe the ink is finally getting to my head...?

(Either way, she just had to brush it off and keep going. As she was travelling up the stairs, Sophie heard a voice that she dreaded hearing especially at a time like this.)

Twisted Alice: I see you there, my little errand girl. Your angel is always watching. What is it that keeps you going? Is it the thrill of the hunt? The thirst for your freedom? Or perhaps...you're just looking for a little, friendly, wolf.

Sophie: I swear if you touch him, "Alice", It will be your last mistake!

(Twisted Alice merely chuckled at her words)

Twisted Alice: Better hurry, errand girl. Boris is having trouble staying in one piece.

Sophie: NO!

(she sprouts her angel wings and takes flight, fury was boiling in her veins as she became determined to save her toon friend and give that fake angel a piece of her mind.

But when she reached a small lounge area with a few sofas, a gramophone, and a balcony, she slowed down, confused when a beautiful, yet soft and sad melody, began playing. Then, she heard a few sniffles, whimpers, and hiccups. Looking up, Sophie saw one of those ink people walking across the balcony, his glowing, yellow-orange eyes showing nothing but despair.)

"He's going to find me! He always finds me! Oh no! I just want to go home! When do we go home? WHEN DO WE GO HOME?!"

(Sophie's heart suddenly ached for that poor man, and her previous anger from before was replaced with...sadness.
Surely he wasn't related to those mindless, eyeless Searchers she has encountered before...right?

Once she entered the door just below the walkway, however, she froze when she saw a whole group of ink people, either standing in place, sitting on the floor, or huddle together. Just like that man she saw before, they all looked so lost and...hopeless.

But as she closed the door behind her, some of them looked at Sophie, but didn't do anything even as she walked past them.)

((CUE OST: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckBjji… ))

Sophie: My God...what happened to all of you?

(and then, a few of the Lost Ones started to sing...)

'' we cannot see, in the dark we all wait.
until the day, he will set us all free

Imperfections made us into this ink
and still even, we hold unto this dream.

that somehow he will set us FREE.''

Sophie: Ó.Ò

Lost Ones: (singing one by one)

''When do we go home?
when do we go home?
when do we go home? (when do we go home?)
when do we go home? (when do we go home?)
WHEN DO WE GO HOME? (when do we go home?)
WHEN DO WE GO HOME? (when do we go home?)
when do we go home...? (when do we go home?)
when do we go home...? (when do we go home?)

please let me go home...
please let me go home...
please let me go home... ''

(as their song of despair ended, Sophie received nothing but blank stares. still her heart ached for them, for she felt their pain as if they were her own.

Then she noticed a lone ink person crying in the corner. Feeling like she needed a rest, and because he looked like he needed someone to talk to. Sophie went over and sat down against the wall, moving the candle over a bit. With a soft sigh she glanced at him, gently tapping his shoulder.)

Sophie: Hey...

(His sobs ceased and he looked at Sophie, his eyes holding that same sorrow.)

Lost One: I-I'm so cold...and tired... I-I just wanna be with my family again. I didn't...w-we never asked for this!

(she frowned slightly, bringing him into a hug without any hesitation. At this point she didn't care how much ink stained her clothes. Sophie was surprised they didn't turn completely black by now.

He seemed confused by her gesture, but when she tightened the embrace, he whimpered softly and wrapped his lanky arms around the young woman, hiccuping.)

Lost One: Th-Thank you...a-at least..one person f-from the outside cares.

Sophie: There's always someone who's going to care. even in the most darkest of places. ÓwÒ

Lost One: W-Will you set us free...?

(For a moment she hesitated, unsure of how to answer him, before she sighed.)

Sophie: I'll... do my best. I have an ink demon and...( gaze shifted to the wall that was painted with the words. "NO ANGELS") ...and an angel to catch so we'll see.

(Then she slowly released the ink man, looking to see his eyes a bit wider and...happier.)

Lost One: Then w-we won't keep you waiting... p-please, g-go through the vent.

(He pointed to the vent entrance. Sophie glanced over and saw another ink person walk towards her, handing her a flashlight. Then another one came over to help her to her feet.

With a smile, she headed there, but before she entered, she glanced at the creatures one final time. They were all watching her, hope glimmering in their eyes as if they hadn't experienced such a feeling in years. she gave them a simple nod and a look of promise in her eyes, before she finally proceeded through the vent, crawling her way through.

Eventually, Sophie came across a grate, although she was aiming to go left. But she screamed, and hit her head on the upper part of the vent, as none other than Bendy suddenly popped up, bracing his hands on the grate. Sophie rubbed her head in pain as she stares at Bendy. Strangely enough, though, he didn't try to tear it off, but that didn't mean she wasn't angry at him, especially considering what he did to all those poor people she just met.

He tilted his head to the side and dragged his finger across the slat, before he made a "follow" gesture to Sophie, as if he was teasing her. Then he slinked out of view.)

Sophie: So that's the game you want to play, huh? Well so be it.

(and she carried on.)

....
(Eventually, Sophie reached an open vent which will drop him in front of the door to Storage 9.
Sophie climbs up the stairs, which a sign pointing up with the phrase "COME UP AND SEE ME" is painted and an "ALMOST THERE" painted on another part of the stairway. At the top within Bendy's mouth, there are concept sketches all over the walls, and on the table is an audio log and Sophie decides to play it.)

"For forty years, I've built attractions that stagger the imagination! Colossal wonders such as the world has never seen! I have earned my legacy with sweat.

But right in front of everyone... high level investors, Wall Street tycoons, the ever-tactless Joey Drew introduces me, the great Bertrum Piedmont, as Bertie! Like I was his child.

You may be paying me, Mister Drew! But you don't own me! I'll build you a park bigger than anything YOU could ever possibly conceive! But before you go taking any bows, Mister Drew, know that this grand achievement will belong to me... and to me alone."

(Then she heard the door to Storage 9 open downstairs, and she headed there to see what else she could find. The moment Sophie entered, light filled the room and she was greeted by a large sign that said "BENDY LAND", although someone had painted the word "HELL" over the second word. This area is a large, spacey warehouse containing lots of shelves, crates, pallets and cement bags. The location contains three amusement park games, being a strength tester, "Bottle Wallop!" and "Bull's Eye Bonanza". There are also four doors leading into other subsidiaries of the warehouse.

she wandered around a bit, looking at the carousel horses and the giant Alice heads, before she stumbled across a series of levers connected to the Haunted House attraction. It didn't take a genius to know that she had to power them up somehow to get through.)

Sophie: Hang in there, Buddy. I'm coming...

(first, Sophie  had to play Bottle Wallop and Bull's Eye Bonanza so she could get the first metal door open. then, she accessed one of the five levers.

The next location took Sophie to the Research and Design Department, where Butcher Gang clones were gathered around a fire, completely oblivious to her presence. To distract them, she had to toss some Bacon Soup cans around, before shooting them down one by one with the Tommy Gun. Once she did that, she entered a room with the lever and a Bendy animatronic laying on a table, with one of its arms missing. she sees another audio log and decides to play it...)

"The only thing that works around here is my ulcer. Half these people don't know a wrench from a dang steamroller. Buncha morons is what they are. Spend their day in the warehouse arguin' over who's supposed to be doin' what or playing them silly games. Still, I'm not complainin'. I get most of my time to myself. Suits me just fine. Only thing that bothers me is that mechanical demon in the corner. Bertrum's been working on it for a month now. Says it will walk someday and maybe dance. All it does now is give me the creeps. I swear, when my back's turned, that thing's movin'."

(as soon as she finished listening, she flipped the second main lever which powered the door to the Haunted House, and progressed to the third area. along the way, she saw Bailey again, who caught sight of her and flew away from her out of fear and distrust, despite seeing her comforting one of the Lost Ones earlier back in that room. which made his fear of her lessen...only for a little bit, but kept watching her from a distance where she couldn't see him.)

(And sure enough, in the Attraction Storage room, was Bertrum's infamous octopus-like ride. It still seemed to be in pretty good shape despite being stuck underground after all this time. Then you saw another tape recorder on the nearby table and walked over to it, pressing the play button, hearing the amusement park creator's voice once more.)

"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!''

(Sophie's  eyes widened as she saw the bulbs around the rim of the ride light up, before she heard the sounds of machines cranking and whirring, growing louder by the second. almost as if...)

Sophie: (looks at the ride in the center starting to move) Uh oh... O.O'

"This is my park! My glory! You may think I'm gone, but I'M STILL HEEEEEERE!!"

(She took a step back as the arms of the ride came to life, lifting off the ground on their own. But in the center of it, a window opened up as she saw none other than Bertrum's giant, disembodied head inside of it, still alive and breathing.)

Sophie: Holy Shit! that's Bertrum?! OmO

(Then the ride began spinning around, only stopping to smash the table in front of her with its arm. In doing so, however, it revealed an axe, which she quickly grabbed off the floor. Looking across the room, Sophie saw that the metal doors leading to the lever and back to the rest of Storage 9 were both closed, meaning she had no choice but to fight Bertrum.)

Sophie: Bertrum! stop! I'm not Joey!

(Sophie hoped that she could somehow reason with him and get him to stop. At first he did freeze and look at her, and she got a chill from the way his wide, lidless eyes stared into her very soul. she lowers the axe a bit, walking over to him slowly.)

Sophie: What happened to you? Did Joey turn you in this?

(For a few moments he was silent, before his expression shifted into one of pure rage.)

Bertrum: Of course...of course, of course!! Everything's Mr. Drew's fault! IT'S ALL HIS FAULT!!! HE MADE ME DO THIS!!! BUT NOW HE WILL TRULY FACE THE WRATH AND MIGHT OF THE GREAT BERTRUM PIEDMONT!!!

(Sophie got hit by one of Piedmont's four  carts, sending her flying backwards and hit the ground. she stares up a bit, grasping her axe as she sprouts her angel wings to take flight to avoid being hit again.)

Sophie: (thinking) It's clear that he had gone completely insane, his mind is tainted by the cursed ink that plagued every other person and creature I've come across until this point. I have to put him out of his misery once and for all.

(Then she saw the arm that attacked her slam into the ground several times, somehow not breaking the floor, before it twitched and collapsed, needing time to recharge. Then, Sophie saw the loose bolts and got an idea: if she destroyed those, you'll deactivate the arms. It was risky considering there were four arms and four bolts on each one, but it was worth a shot.

When the arm rose back up and the ride started to rotate again, she gripped her weapon tightly, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Sophie: Sorry, Bertie. ..but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to close you down permanently.

(Sure enough, Sophie destroyed all of the arms that made up the ride Bertrum possessed. After the steam blew out of it, everything fell silent as he gazed at her one last time, his expression filled with nothing but sadness and distraught, as the windows closed and he was no longer visible to you.)

Sophie: Sorry it had to end like this. But there was no other way.

(she wiped the sweat and ink off her forehead, looking around to see the damage he had done to the room.)

Sophie: Now...to get that lever.

(Unfortunately, the axe was in pieces by the time the battle was over, at least she still had the Tommy Gun. As soon as she located the lever, Sophi pulled it and returned to the panel, activating that lever which would power the main gateway into the Haunted House. Now all she had was one to go, but she had a bad feeling it was going to be the most challenging to find.)

(Sophie followed the final power cable to the maintenance section. Humorously enough, on the walls there were the words "CHOO CHOO" written in ink this time, as opposed to some creepy, cryptic message. One of them was scrawled in front of a toy wooden train and next to a poster of Bendy in a train. Somehow this silly little thing managed to make her chuckle.

Continuing further, Sophie saw a sign for the "Buddy Boris Railway", a sort of train ride experience that would've taken guests through Bendy Land, although, like many of the attractions underground here, that never saw the light of day. she then turned left and descended down some stairs, coming across an inky pool where she could see the flickering light of a familiar monster, making her eyes widen in fear.)

Sophie: Shit! how is the Projectionist still alive?! I thought I did him in back in the Inky Abyss!

(her heart rate accelerated as she froze in place, hoping the Projectionist didn't hear her footsteps and voice. Thankfully, he did not as he waded away. Then with a deep breath, she continued down the stairs, being as quiet as a mouse even though she still made a lot of noise once you entered the pool.

As she searched all around, Sophie marveled at the train engines that were stored down here. Although she didn't stare for too long as she located a lever that said "Lift Control". It would most likely give her access to the top floor, so she quickly pulled it down. But right as she did, the angel's expression morphed into one of panic when she heard the Projectionist roar.)

Sophie: OH SHIT!

( she quickly ran up to the next floor, dashing across the balcony. she tried to shoot him down with the Tommy Gun, but due to the panic, her aim was off, but she found the last lever and yanked it down.  And then...all of the lights in the room turned off, before they came back on. When you turned around the Projectionist was nowhere to be found.)

Sophie: Huh? where did he go? O.O

(She shrugged and headed back down the stairs. To her surprise he had disappeared entirely, although knowing him, she knew he'd probably come back sometime soon.

As she waded back to the stairs she first went down, Sophie comes across another tape Joey made and starts to play it.)

"I believe there's something special in all of us. With true inner strength, you can conquer even your biggest challenges. You just have to believe in yourself and remain honest, motivated, and above all, who you really are.

Ok, let's stop it right there. I can only do so many takes of this trash a day. And tell the guys in writing I want more use of the word dreaming in every message. Keep railing on that, get it? Dreaming! Dreaming! Dreaming! People just eat up that kind of slop. Hmm, what? It's still on? Well, turn it off, damn it!"

(after listening to it, Sophie finally discovered Joey's true nature...  his cheerful, motivational talks were but a mere facade to cover his greedy and selfish nature. His obsession with making "dreams come true" often clouded his judgement.)

Sophie: now I understand why everyone here...especially Bendy...hate this man so much to the point of wanting him dead.

(With a quiet sigh, she set down the tape, before she made her way up the stairs, not knowing that Bailey was flying above her, quietly watching her... despite him being nervous of her at first, he wanted to at least make sure she was indeed a friendly face.)

''U-Umm... hello...?''

(Sophie looks behind her and saw Bailey flying towards her slowly.)

Sophie: Bailey? O.O What are you doing here?

Bailey: I...I've seen you give hope to those Lost Ones back there. and I watched as you fought the monster Bertrum had become, and... well...

Sophie: were you...following me? O.O

Bailey: I still don't know if I can fully trust you, but I'm sorry I ran away from you earlier. after everything that happened because of Joey, its hard to to tell between friends and foes.

Sophie: I get what you mean...I was tricked to do Alice's bidding...and look what happened because of that. I thought she was a friend, but turns out she was an enemy. it's okay if you're still afraid to trust me. I mean, I got myself into this mess in search for some kind of adventure, and...well...look at me. -.-

Bailey: (looks around) this area is too dark to converse. we should find some other place so you can understand exactly what's going on.

Sophie: Okay...

(with Bailey joining her, both he and Sophie reached the stairs, however, they only got up two steps before they heard a deep bellow and saw those flickering lights again. Sophie immediately grabs Bailey and rushed towards the Miracle Station that was directly in front of her, slamming the door shut and turning around, her face paling as she realized he was standing right there, and Bailey held onto her tightly, very afraid of this creature.)

Sophie: no, no, no, no, go away, go away, go away, go away! OmO

Bailey: >m<

( the Projectionist gazed at Sophie's cowering figure, crouching slightly as he cocked his head to the side. he reached towards them, only to stop as a bright flash lit up the area and inky webs splattered the walls. Turning away, he roared in fury at an unknown figure...which turned out to be none other than Bendy as he lunged at him. Sophie covered her mouth with one hand, as the other held Bailey, both of them watching in shock and utter horror as the two threw punches at each other like savage animals. Although the Projectionist put up quite a fight, he was easily overpowered as Bendy grabbed him and tore his head clean off.

As the now deceased ink monster's body slumped to the ground, Bendy stared at the head for a moment, before he chucked it at the door, making her and Bailey jump in surprise. Then he stared at them with a malicious grin, although instead of attacking them, he simply took the Projectionist's body and dragged him out of view.

Once the inky webbing vanished, she waited a few moments before emerging from the station. Looking down, the toon angel and the blue angel saw the head of the Projectionist, the only part of him that remained. she picked it up and frowned, then she glanced over to see that the metal door was open, and the wall adjacent to it had a big ink splatter.

Sophie: where did he take the body? Why was he messing with me like this? just... is his end goal, besides trying to kill me and anyone who crosses his path?

Bailey: (frowns a bit, with a sad look.)  the only way your questions will be answered is by continuing forth.

(Once they have entered the Haunted House, Sophie and Bailey approached one of the carts, hearing a monster's voice chuckling in the background, serving as ambiance. On the wall they could see the words "TURN BACK". they were confused as to who could have written that, but regardless, it seemed they had no way of turning back the moment you walked into the studio.)

(So they sat in the cart, pulling down the lap bar, before they heard "Alice" speak, holding tightly onto the frightened little angel.)

Twisted Alice: And now, the ride truly begins, Sophie. Come in, and pretend it's all just a bad dream.

Sophie: I wish it was. -.-

(The gates in front of them opened, and the cart started to move along the track. On the bright side, she was glad she wasn't going alone through the horrors of a studio, since she found Bailey, who still can't fully trust her. and it was okay.

looking around at the fake tombstones and monstrous eyes in the brick walls. As they rounded the corner, a cardboard ghost popped out from one of the tombstones, but she wasn't fazed by that as she kept looking all around the decrepit attraction. Sophie did have to lean to the other side of the cart to avoid an inky waterfall, though.)

Twisted Alice: It's a funny thing... How so much can fall apart so fast, We never really had control at the studio. Either you're in someone's pocket, or you were putting someone into yours. I just wanted what was promised to me. I just wanted to be beautiful! Surely you can understand that.

Sophie: Woman, I think you have a very skewered definition of "beautiful".

(Twisted Alice huffed in irritation at her remark.)

Twisted Alice: Sophie...why are you here? We're all dying to find out. Do you just enjoy the terror of the drop into Hell? Because if that's the case...hang on tight. I've got a surprise~

(Another gateway opened, and after they passed through the final one, Sophie and Bailey were taking into an area that had the two angels' jaw dropping in awe: they found themselves in some sort of. ..massive ballroom, with a beautiful and bright chandelier, intricate wallpaper, barrels and furniture scattered throughout, and creepy paintings. It was definitely unlike anything you've ever seen before.)

Sophie: Man..this place makes "Heavenly Toys" look tiny.

(As they were taking all of this in, they didn't even acknowledge the dark room they were approaching until they heard the creak of yet another gate and looked forward, realizing they were heading into nothing but total darkness.

Then as the cart came to a stop, the angels both yelped when they saw two massive, gloved hands grab onto the railing, before a familiar face with Xs for eyes lurched forward, broken bones and pipes sticking out of his now bulky body, and a broken dog cone resembling a halo surrounding his head.)

Sophie: B-Boris?! (covers her mouth in horror, seeing the one who she called friend groan and convulse a little, as though he felt like vomiting) No, no, no...wha..what did she do to you?!

(But instead of answering her question, he grabbed the whole cart and pushed her and Bailey back out into the ballroom, before tossing it towards the center, all while "Alice" laughed maniacally. Fortunately the lap bar was raised, so the two angels were able to get out with only a few scrapes. Once they recovered Sophie stood up and saw Boris stomping towards her, swinging his arms, with Bailey taking flight behind the brunette young woman.)

Sophie: I can't believe it... That bitch....turned the only friend I had in this studio into yet another abomination!

Twisted Alice: Meet the new and improved Boris!! I took what I wanted, and in return, I gave him so much more! And this time, there's no Ink Demon, no escape...BORIS! TEAR THEM APART! LEAVE NOTHING!

(With tears blurring Sophie's vision, she started to shoot at him with the Tommy Gun, but none of the shots affect Brute Boris, knowing she had no choice but to kill him and put him out of his misery. Bailey sees one of the Gent machines. They required blobs of ink in order to produce a weapon that could land some damage.

Hearing a crash, Bailey looked over his shoulder to see Boris ram into a wall, with Sophie barely able to dodge. But he took a few steps back and held his torn chest, as though he was in pain. Sophie saw ink gushing out, before spotting a big blob of it land a few feet away from her. she hears Bailey call her quickly over to the Gent machine. and Without any hesitation she dashed over to grab it and throw it into the machine, swapping it for a pipe.

After grabbing it, Sophie turned and saw the monster sprint towards her, although she was quick to dodge as he crashed into some carts and furniture. she seized the opportunity to strike him several times. Unfortunately, the pipe wasn't too durable, as it eventually broke and she had to keep going back and forth to the machine, all while dodging Brute Boris' attacks.

With a shout of frustration, she threw the weapon at him and he stopped moving, collapsing to his knees as he convulsed and gripped his chest tightly, before he fell onto his back.)

Sophie, Bailey: Boris!

(they ran over to him and knelt by his side, ignoring "Alice"'s screams of anger as she placed her hand on his head.)

Twisted Alice: NO! NO, NO, NO! WHY CAN'T YOU EVER JUST DIE?!

Sophie: I-I'm..I'm so sorry I had to do this to you... T~T

Bailey: QmQ TmT

(Brute Boris let out a few groans and whines as he tried to reach his hand out to Sophie, only for her to grab it and holding it tight. )

Sophie: it's gonna be okay now... You're still a good boy. Q~Q

(Her words seemed to comfort Buddy Boris, as he saw an image of his mother flash in his mind, along with seeing his former human life flash before him in the eye of his mind. he gave Sophie what appeared to be a smile, before thick ink coated his entire body and, within mere seconds, he dissolved and vanished before Sophie and Bailey's eyes. at least he won't be suffering anymore... his soul is free now and he can rest in peace.)

(Bailey was about to reach his hand towards Sophie's hand, but then,  With a gasp they both turned to see Twisted Alice charging at them, screaming in fury as she clawed at the air, intending to kill the angels with her own two hands. In that moment, though, they were frozen on the spot. Bailey hid behind Sophie, as she aimed the Tommy Gun at her, prepared to shoot her dead.

But then, out of nowhere, a blade pierced her chest, going right through her inky heart. When it retracted she looked down at the wound, and then up to Sophie as she let out a wheezing groan, before she collapsed onto her side and fell to the ground, dead and gone at last.

When Sophie and Bailey look to see who their savior was, their eyes widened as they were greeted by a more perfect version of Alice with a sword coated in ink and a restored version of Boris, although this one sported a mechanical arm and a pipe for a weapon.)

Sophie: Who...are you two? O.O
