Description
(after leaving Tom and the two Alices, Audrey follows the hallways and corridors. her abilities once again become disabled due to nearby signal towers as she saw more Keepers wandering about. then she hears the Ink Demon's voice once again...)

''they promise us peace, but they bring us only more pain! ''

(she sneaks past the first Keeper, and heads directly across the room, turning right, then pull the switch on the right wall. Audrey goes to the end of the hall and turn right, then sees a music box on the dresser straight ahead.)

Audrey: (looks at the empty music box) This music box could make a good distraction if I can fix it.

(Audrey takes the empty music box, and begins to look around, finding a memo written by Sammy Lawrence along the way that said the following...)

''they said he killed my lord,
they said the ink demon fell,
they said I was a false prophet.

but I say my lord lives,
but I say he will return.
But I say you better watch your backs, Mr Wilson and all the blasphemers who follow you.

can I get an amen? ''

(Audrey continues on through the North Wing of Wilson's retreat to find the pieces for the music box. since this area was quite large it was rather difficult to find what she needs. there, she sees another audio tape, on a chair on the second floor next to an ink pipe. she plays the tape, hearing the voice of Wilson speaking.)

"It's been years and my face is still a mystery to my coworkers. They don't know me. They avoid me as if I carried some infectious disease. At first, this was an insult. But now... it is a gift. With the right costume, I can play the part of anyone. I can go completely unnoticed, hidden amongst the shadowed walls. As a clerk, an artist, a producer. Or even... a lowly janitor."

(after the tape finishes, Audrey snuck past another keeper through the hallway to get into another room, and opening a small closet, finding the music box's key and returns back to the direction she came from, charging up her GENT pipe to disable a nearby signal tower to get her powers back, as well as opening a locked door. she sneaks past another keeper, going into a small hole in the wall, and turning left to finds the Alice Angel figurine.)

Audrey: that's all the pieces for the music box. now then...

(Audrey pulls out the box and places the missing pieces back in their place, fixing the music box at last.)

Audrey: Fixed. now I just need to find a good place to put it.

(with the music box fixed, Audrey sees Two Keepers stand guard, flanked by energized pylons. There's a table to the right, with a highlight to indicate she should place the music box there.)

Audrey: here goes nothing. (spins the music box's key and the song I'm Alice Angel is played.)

( the Keepers notice the music box's sounds and go to the direction the musical tune comes from, while Audrey sneaks around to the left, Cutting across the room to a small area in the back-right of the room and throws the switch. she enters the door and continues forward to return to Wilson's residence. there, she meets up with Betty once again.)

Betty: there you are! thank goodness! Wilson's waiting for you downstairs in the laboratory when you're ready. but first, can I get your help with something?

Audrey: Sure. fire away.

Betty: Normally, I wouldn't ask this of a guest, but... with all that's happening I can't sneak out and get things like I usually do. do you think you can pop 'round to the Farmer's Market back in town and find me a few ingredients? we're running quite low in the kitchen. and I was hoping we could all celebrate tonight with a lovely supper. won't take but a moment if you go by train. Up to you, no pressure!

Audrey: okay, I'll get you what you need. it won't take too long.

Betty: thank you! I'll be waiting for your return!

(and so, Audrey left the Manor and heads to the subway, taking the train back to the Lost City. upon arriving, she goes to the Farmer's market, where, surprisingly there was a package that was written ''FOR BETTY''. Audrey smiled to herself and took the package, heads back to the subway, takes the train and goes back to Wilson's Manor, meeting up with Betty once again giving her the package full of the ingredients she needs.)

Betty: You're a miracle worker! truly! oh, I only wish there was something I could do for you! oh! wait! I spotted something in the fountain yesterday. don't know what it's for, but you're welcome to have it. you better go see Wilson downstairs. he's been waiting ages.

(Audrey nods and heads to the fountain to see an object laying in the inky waters. she picks up a small mug and stows it away, before she decides to go down and meet up with Wilson at last. she heads down the stairs to Wilson's Laboratory, seeing a variety of actual colors instead of black and sepia toned colors, in the hallways, until eventually, she finally reaches the lab where Wilson was waiting for her.)

Wilson: Audrey. you made it. good! come inside, my dear. we have much to discuss. but make sure you're ready, where we're going, there will be no return until we've accomplished our mission.

(Audrey gulps and heads inside the lab, meeting up with Wilson face to face. the man appears to be working on something, and turns to face Audrey.)

Wilson: thank you for coming all this way. the Ink demon is a formidable foe. to truly destroy such a monster, he must be dethroned, humiliated. for months now, I've been working on something that will do exactly that. cast out the demon and put a new deity in his place. stronger, more powerful, and controllable. together, we just need to unleash our ultimate weapon. come, let me show you my creation.

(Wilson activates a metallic capsule, revealing a drawing of a human toon that goes by the name Shipahoy Dudley, he has blond hair, a white sailor hat, fingerless gloves that only show the tips, a blue shirt with striped sleeves, white overalls with striped legs, and black shoes. He appears youthful, cheerful, and is drawn in a bashful pose. He is accompanied by a blue-and-yellow crab wearing a red bowtie.)

Wilson: Isn't he beautiful? simple, but elegant. a treasure. powerful beyond anyone. the Ink demon, both halves, will fall, and we can have peace at last.

Audrey: it could work... but it sounds risky. how will we control him? we don't wanna repeat Joey's mistake.

Wilson: No. we don't. all of the factors must be perfect. (changes the capsule into something else.) the right design, the right science, and.... the right soul. (saw blades suddenly appear, being turned on)

Audrey: what?

Wilson: at last, your purpose is revealed, Audrey. this is why you're here. with your soul inside him, my creation will live forever!

Audrey: Stay away from me! you're insane!

Wilson: Come now, Audrey. part of you knew this was your path. leave yourself behind and ascend!

Audrey: I thought you said we needed to save your father! I thought you had a plan to send me home! to make everything right!

Wilson: (smirks evilly) I lied! my father is beyond hope. perhaps you know him. Nathan Arch, owner of ArchGate. industrial genius. business tycoon. for years, I've lived in his reaching shadow! he always had time for the grand creatives of the world! the ''doers'' as he called them! he knew only the best! the biggest thinkers! how could his lowly son ever hope to compete with that? but now...thanks to you, I can.

(Audrey lunges forward in an attempt to use her left hand to banish him, only for Wilson to grab it and lightly twist it.)

Wilson: No need to struggle, my signal prevents you from using those devilish powers of yours. and more importantly, (grabs her other hand forcefully) keeps the Ink Demon from getting in. it's time to die, Audrey! and live again, as a god!

(Wilson pulls her towards the saw blades, as Audrey struggles to break free, remembering how this man got her into this world.)

Audrey: (angrily) NO! Not this time! (smacks him in the head with the GENT Pipe, then pushes him forward to the sawblades)

(Wilson screamed in pain as the saw blades tore his body apart, with Audrey covering her eyes to avoid the bloody sight. then, everything was silent and the machine was turned off with only few of Wilson's remains being in tact. with that being done, she looks over to see one more audio tape, and plays it, listening to the voice of Nathan Arch.)

"I decided to go for a walk this morning. Took a little stroll down to the park. Enjoyed the warm sun for a while, found a quiet bench, even grabbed a hot dog. It's been ages since I've done that. Tessa would kill me if she knew I've been off my diet. When I got back to the office, I stopped by the animation department and said hello to the troops. My gosh, they're getting younger every day. Either that or I'm just getting older. It all made me realize time is moving on. The hard struggles don't seem as dire as they used to. Life has other value. I think, I'll go home early today. Maybe I'll even pick up a hot dog for Tessa."

(with the audio tape finished, Audrey heads forward through the hallways, until eventually, she comes across the room that contained the Ink Machine itself. then, she hears the voice of the Ink Demon speaking to her.)

''you and I were birthed from the darkest shadows. Audrey. it's time to ask the question...''

(Audrey looks around for any signs of the Ink demon, then pulls the lever, turning on the Ink Machine. the signal towers activated, disabling Audrey from all of her abilities she gained throughout her journey. suddenly, an anchor emerged, hitting the ground, and with it, a monstrous horrific amalgamation of Wilson Arch, his cartoon character Shipahoy Dudley, and his pet crab emerged from the dark puddles and landing on the ground, roaring at Audrey's direction as he grabbed the anchor. behold, Shipahoy Wilson, Consumed with rage and vengeance he begins attacking Audrey in one final attempt to claim her soul.)

(Shipahoy Wilson throws his anchor at one of the activated pylons, indicating what Audrey needs to do defeat him. She stands next to the pylons while Shipahoy Wilson throws his anchor, so he'll hit the pylons. Then she uses exposed wires in the front of the room to charge the Gent pipe and shut down the pylons. After each pylon is deactivated, Lost Ones will spawn and attack, but are easily defeated by Audrey's GENT pipe and her powers that returned to her. Wilson then throws gears and anchor. Once all the pylons are deactivated, Shipahoy Wilson tries to dash into Audrey. She Dodges behind him with her Flow Ability and hit him repeatedly with the Gent Pipe. When he swings his anchor, she uses Flow to dodge the anchor and hit his exposed belly. After enough hits, Audrey seizes her chance and Banish Wilson's head into the dark puddles.

seeing that Wilson is no more, the monster he created suddenly went out of control, and he rips off Audrey's leg in the most brutal way possible, then throws her body against the floor. Audrey's eyes widen in horror as she sees the horrific toon monster about to finish her off, only to be tackled by the Ink Demon, who came just in time to kill this abomination and send him to the dark puddles. Audrey fell on her back, slowly losing consciousness then, upon opening her eyes again she looks at her down at her legs that were bleeding ink instead of red crimson blood. she starts to hyperventilate the anxiety rising up in her chest when she sees the Ink Demon looking at her, then walking towards her.)

Ink Demon: It's time, Audrey. your road is broken. Join the Dark Puddles and give in to your suffering. you have nothing. you are without purpose. your very existence was a terrible lie. you're a mistake, a monster...like me. but I will make you strong. I will make you meaningful. it's time... (reaches out his clawed hand to her)

(Audrey, shakily and tearfully, reaches her hand to the Ink Demon, her eyes close as she gives in to her fate and begins to be consumed by the second Ink Demon's shadows. his voice was heard saying...)

''we are one...the daughter of drew. the power of the Demon.''

(When Audrey opens her eyes, she looks at her large clawed hands and once again becomes shaken in horror and confusion.)

Audrey: what's happening to me?

(for a moment there was silence, then, they turn to see Joey Drew standing before her, knowing that his daughter is trapped within the Ink Demon's body. however, there was a trail of blood coming out of his back due to taking the hit for Sophie and save her from dying.)

Joey: there's always a choice.

Ink Demon: (growls at the sight of Joey)

Joey: I know you're in there. deep behind that evil face, inside somewhere is my little girl. my Audrey. my greatest creation.

(the Ink Demon looks at his hands, growling, since Audrey's body and soul were now inside of him.)

Audrey: (speaking from inside the Ink Demon's body) I...I'm scared...! I don't know what's happening!

Joey: the past doesn't define you. nor the present. in the end, all those years ago, Joey Drew finally succeeded! he created life! but Audrey, you're so much more than that. you were his family. his daughter. MY Daughter... (tears welled up in his eyes) and I love you so very much.

Audrey: Joey...father...

Ink Demon: (Approaches Joey furiously) be quiet! the little wretch is mine!

Joey: Remember who you are, Audrey! remember!

Ink Demon: Your words are wasted! (grabs Joey in a crushing grip) the failure of Joey Drew... (memories of himself being abused by him flash in his and in Audrey's mind, before being locked away, captured and split in half by Wilson's experiments) DIES HERE! (crushes him more that his bones are heard being broken)

Audrey: No! Stop!

Joey: I know you're in there... Audrey...Bendy...you don't have to be this anymore. (breathes in and out) it's never too late. (shakily takes out the reel dubbed ''THE END'') Just a pencil and a dream, isn't enough! you have to have... heart.

(having heard enough, the Ink Demon crushes Joey's body, killing him in front of Audrey.)

Audrey: NOOOOO!

(the Ink Demon then throws Joey into the dark puddles.)

Ink Demon: the future is sealed.

( Audrey starts to be consumed by fear, that turned to anger as she stares at the reel that was dropped on the ground.)

Ink Demon: What do you think you're doing?

Audrey: I'm... (takes the reel in the demon's hand.)

(we see Audrey trapped inside the darkness of the Ink Demon's body, the golden pattern she had to banish the Lost Ones to the Dark Puddles, changes into a glowing golden circular arrow.)

Audrey: I'm starting over.

Ink Demon: what?! (sees that on his right arm, he has the same mark Audrey has but inverted, and also starts to glow in bright gold)

Audrey: This...is the end.

(Audrey grunts as her mark glows gold and begins to control the Ink Demon's movements, breaking down through the door and walls, smashing through nearby lost ones. the second Ink Demon was now in his Beast form, and he had Audrey control him with her powers against his will as she smashed through the door.)

Ink Demon: You're just a PAWN! What makes you think you can defy me?! Arise, my domain! destroy this traitor!

(Audrey, controlling Beast Bendy 2 simply rushes forward, hacking and slashing at attacking ink creatures and punching through doors. eventually, they reach a dead end, as iridescent Lost ones surrounded them, weakening Audrey's ability to control the ink demon.)

Ink Demon: the road is shut. you are surrounded. there can be no victory. now, you will DIE!

(Suddenly, Allison and Twisted Alice come in from the door, with Alice shooting at them with Tommy Gun and Allison slashing at them with her sword.)

Audrey: Allison! Alice!

Allison: Audrey? is that you in there?

Twisted Alice: how dare that Ink Demon consume such a sweet and innocent soul?! (starts to shoot at more Lost Ones)

Allison: (to Audrey) come on! keep moving! we'll get you through! Tom! make us some trouble!

(from the other door, Tom appears, riding on the back of Big Steve who roared furiously and begins attacking the Lost Ones)

Allison: Audrey! run!

Twisted Alice: Keep going, honey!

(Audrey keeps moving forward, breaking down the walls, and hearing the giggle of Porter who teleported in all directions to help Audrey.)

Allison: We got this! just keep fighting!

Sammy: (raises his hands upon seeing Beast Bendy 2 hacking and slashing at the lost ones) the Ink Demon Rises! surrender yourselves to the lord of the Dark Puddles! it's time to believe!

(Audrey, in control of Beast Bendy 2 keeps breaking down the walls and doors, killing nearby lost ones, among the lost ones who got killed, the iconic wilhelm scream was heard. that's when Sophie, Bendy 1 and Bailey come in charging at the Lost Ones with their weapons)

Audrey: Sophie!

Sophie: Hey guys! sorry we're late for the party! (turns to face Beast Bendy 2) Holy shit what is that?!

(Bendy looks at his arm that emitted a faint golden glow, having the same pattern as Audrey and Bendy 2, since he was the second ink demon's other half. the realization hit him that not only he and the other Bendy are two halves of the same being...but they also have a relation to Audrey. that pattern they have, is their shared birthmark.)

Bendy: that's Bendy 2! my other half! and...Audrey...! no way... she's my...my sister...?! O.O

(Bendy 1 hears the voice of Bendy 2 speaking to him in his mind...)

''She is our sister. and we have to help her.''

Bendy 1: Bendy 2... O.O

(Beast Bendy 2 creates a golden projection of his toon self via Audrey's soul, floating over to Bendy 1)

Bendy 2: Bendy...you and I are two halves of the same being. we both have suffered tremendously under Joey Drew's torture and abuse, making our experiences the same before Wilson split us in two. as for Audrey, she is Joey's daughter, therefore, making all three of us siblings.

Bendy 1: But I don't understand. Henry is the one who created us! so why...?

Bendy 2: there's no denying that Henry is our creator. but it was Joey himself who brought us here through the Ink Machine. do you understand what I'm saying?

Bendy 1: I kind of get it. but why is Audrey inside your body?

Bendy 2: we were both treated like monsters, and therefore we became monsters. there was no one we could turn to for help after we suffered so much... until Sophie came along and saved you. now, its my turn to be saved. this monster that you see is the manifestation of all the anger and hate that I had for those that had wronged and tortured me.

Bendy 1: just like me...

Bendy 2: that's right. Ghg! now, help me and Audrey break out of this hell! set us free! Break the Cycle!

Beast Bendy 2: ENOUGH!

(The projection of Bendy 2 screamed in pain as he vanished back into the shadows of the monster he inhabited.)

Allison: we can do this! just keep fighting!

(Sophie transforms into her Black Seraph form, holding out her scythe, Bendy 1 and Bailey pull out their own weapons and accompany Audrey who was trapped in Beast Bendy 2's body, slashing and hacking at several Lost Ones until they reach a dead end.)

Audrey: Dead end! now what?

'' Need some help? ''

(they look up to see Henry Stein.)

Bendy: HENRY! OWO

Audrey: Henry, you came!

Henry: Some battles are worth fighting for...even a million times. come on! I found a projector up ahead! run for it!

Ink Demon: this realm is mine! and the cycle will continue on forever!

Audrey: No! IT WON'T! we'll be better! we all will!

(Henry opens the door, leading the group to the projector. Audrey interacts with the Projector, pulling out THE END Reel, and turns on the Projectionist's head. then, aims the projector at herself and at the Ink Demon, as its light shined down on them, slowly undoing the fusion and breaking them out of the Cycle, and everything turns white.

now, Audrey and the second ink demon are stuck between the Cycle and the outside world.)

Ink Demon: where are we? are we...dead?

Audrey: No...but we are in between the outside world and the ink realm. a limbo you might say.

Ink Demon: what? what is the meaning of this?! your soul was supposed to have ceased to exist!

Audrey: so was your entire being.

Ink Demon: DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!

Audrey: Okay, enough with the moodiness. I have something for you.

Ink Demon: Oh really? and what would that be?

Audrey: I thought you might like it. (pulls out the wooden train toy)

Ink Demon: Is....is that...? (takes the Train Toy, remembering how he used to play with it in his toon form) you kept it...but why?

Audrey: I thought you may miss it. so I decided to keep it for you until the right moment.

Ink Demon: Why go to such lengths for me?

Audrey: (places her hands on both sides of his face) because everyone deserves to have a chance to be happy. even you.

Ink Demon: but...I've been cruel to you. I used you...tried to kill you...I even killed your father. our father. so...why?

Audrey: because you've been treated like a monster, and that's why you acted like one. so I'm gonna treat you with kindness, and love that you deserve. (hugs him)

Ink Demon: ...?! (looks at Audrey, his sister, momentarily, as he lets go of his vengeful hate and anger thanks to Audrey, and so, he couldn't help but hug her back) Thank you... Audrey.

(the two ink siblings hugged each other, before the Ink Demon's form melted away, shrinking back into his toon form, tears were streaming down his face as he held onto the train toy. he looks up at Audrey, who smiled at him with compassion.)

Audrey: its time to go home, Bendy 2...to a place where no one will ever harm you again.

(Bendy 2 smiled at that and drifted off into sleep, smiling a sad yet relieved smile as Audrey held him protectively and carried him into the light that leads to the outside world.)

((see image here: 64.media.tumblr.com/809d9cb2e0… ))

(and so once again everything flashed white as Audrey and Bendy 2 made it to the light...leading them back to the outside world. once the light died down, we find ourselves in Audrey's house and we hear her narrate.)

Audrey: (narrating) My father once told me that just because we're born out of darkness, doesn't mean we belong to it...we're always free to choose. and here at the very beginning, there's a choice to make. as the heiress to the Cycle, I paved the way for Sophie and the others to break my father's curse for good. and so, I made the Cycle more bearable for my friends inside and want to find a way out as well. but as for me, I'm the first of my kind... born of ink, but living in flesh. Joey's curse is going to be unleashed into our world at any moment...so, I'm putting my trust in Sophie and in Henry to make things right.

(Audrey looks over at the sepia toned Bendy 2, holding his hand in hers as their birthmarks on their palms shimmered lightly. the scene shifts back to the cycle, as we see Bendy 1 and Bailey having an emotional reunion with Henry Stein and Sammy Lawrence, with Allison, Twisted Alice, and Tom, watching with smiles on their faces, going as far as to be introduced to Betty, who managed to escape Wilson's Manor when it collapsed.

then, we see Sophie, who's eyes glow in bright gold color, looking around the studio and then towards the Ink Machine.)

Sophie: the effects of the Cycle weakened severely and I owe it all to Audrey. But I gotta admit, there's something about this power of mine that still have negative effects on me. (crimson blood began to trickle down her eyes, and she had to stop the golden vision immediately)

(Sophie wipes her eyes from the blood, opening them again as they return to their original emerald green color.)

Sophie: there's something about that Machine that still gives off that dark presence that affected everyone in the Cycle, myself included. Audrey has played her part... (pulls out her scythe, glaring at the machine that was the catalyst of the Cycle, having a determined look on her face) and now It's time I'll play my part...to Break the Cycle!

END OF CHAPTER 5.4

BATIM/BATDR Stuff belongs to TheMeatly
Bailey belongs to MagicalCelestialGem
Sophie belongs to Me!

Either that or I'm just getting older. It all made me realize time is moving on. The hard struggles don't seem as dire as they used to. Life has other value. I think, I'll go home early today. Maybe I'll even pick up a hot dog for Tessa."

(with the audio tape finished, Audrey heads forward through the hallways, until eventually, she comes across the room that contained the Ink Machine itself. then, she hears the voice of the Ink Demon speaking to her.)

''you and I were birthed from the darkest shadows. Audrey. it's time to ask the question...''

(Audrey looks around for any signs of the Ink demon, then pulls the lever, turning on the Ink Machine. the signal towers activated, disabling Audrey from all of her abilities she gained throughout her journey. suddenly, an anchor emerged, hitting the ground, and with it, a monstrous horrific amalgamation of Wilson Arch, his cartoon character Shipahoy Dudley, and his pet crab emerged from the dark puddles and landing on the ground, roaring at Audrey's direction as he grabbed the anchor. behold, Shipahoy Wilson, Consumed with rage and vengeance he begins attacking Audrey in one final attempt to claim her soul.)

(Shipahoy Wilson throws his anchor at one of the activated pylons, indicating what Audrey needs to do defeat him. She stands next to the pylons while Shipahoy Wilson throws his anchor, so he'll hit the pylons. Then she uses exposed wires in the front of the room to charge the Gent pipe and shut down the pylons. After each pylon is deactivated, Lost Ones will spawn and attack, but are easily defeated by Audrey's GENT pipe and her powers that returned to her. Wilson then throws gears and anchor. Once all the pylons are deactivated, Shipahoy Wilson tries to dash into Audrey. She Dodges behind him with her Flow Ability and hit him repeatedly with the Gent Pipe. When he swings his anchor, she uses Flow to dodge the anchor and hit his exposed belly. After enough hits, Audrey seizes her chance and Banish Wilson's head into the dark puddles.

seeing that Wilson is no more, the monster he created suddenly went out of control, and he rips off Audrey's leg in the most brutal way possible, then throws her body against the floor. Audrey's eyes widen in horror as she sees the horrific toon monster about to finish her off, only to be tackled by the Ink Demon, who came just in time to kill this abomination and send him to the dark puddles. Audrey fell on her back, slowly losing consciousness then, upon opening her eyes again she looks at her down at her legs that were bleeding ink instead of red crimson blood. she starts to hyperventilate the anxiety rising up in her chest when she sees the Ink Demon looking at her, then walking towards her.)

Ink Demon: It's time, Audrey. your road is broken. Join the Dark Puddles and give in to your suffering. you have nothing. you are without purpose. your very existence was a terrible lie. you're a mistake, a monster...like me. but I will make you strong. I will make you meaningful. it's time... (reaches out his clawed hand to her)

(Audrey, shakily and tearfully, reaches her hand to the Ink Demon, her eyes close as she gives in to her fate and begins to be consumed by the second Ink Demon's shadows. his voice was heard saying...)

''we are one...the daughter of drew. the power of the Demon.''

(When Audrey opens her eyes, she looks at her large clawed hands and once again becomes shaken in horror and confusion.)

Audrey: what's happening to me?

(for a moment there was silence, then, they turn to see Joey Drew standing before her, knowing that his daughter is trapped within the Ink Demon's body. however, there was a trail of blood coming out of his back due to taking the hit for Sophie and save her from dying.)

Joey: there's always a choice.

Ink Demon: (growls at the sight of Joey)

Joey: I know you're in there. deep behind that evil face, inside somewhere is my little girl. my Audrey. my greatest creation.

(the Ink Demon looks at his hands, growling, since Audrey's body and soul were now inside of him.)

Audrey: (speaking from inside the Ink Demon's body) I...I'm scared...! I don't know what's happening!

Joey: the past doesn't define you. nor the present. in the end, all those years ago, Joey Drew finally succeeded! he created life! but Audrey, you're so much more than that. you were his family. his daughter. MY Daughter... (tears welled up in his eyes) and I love you so very much.

Audrey: Joey...father...

Ink Demon: (Approaches Joey furiously) be quiet! the little wretch is mine!

Joey: Remember who you are, Audrey! remember!

Ink Demon: Your words are wasted! (grabs Joey in a crushing grip) the failure of Joey Drew... (memories of himself being abused by him flash in his and in Audrey's mind, before being locked away, captured and split in half by Wilson's experiments) DIES HERE! (crushes him more that his bones are heard being broken)

Audrey: No! Stop!

Joey: I know you're in there... Audrey...Bendy...you don't have to be this anymore. (breathes in and out) it's never too late. (shakily takes out the reel dubbed ''THE END'') Just a pencil and a dream, isn't enough! you have to have... heart.

(having heard enough, the Ink Demon crushes Joey's body, killing him in front of Audrey.)

Audrey: NOOOOO!

(the Ink Demon then throws Joey into the dark puddles.)

Ink Demon: the future is sealed.

( Audrey starts to be consumed by fear, that turned to anger as she stares at the reel that was dropped on the ground.)

Ink Demon: What do you think you're doing?

Audrey: I'm... (takes the reel in the demon's hand.)

(we see Audrey trapped inside the darkness of the Ink Demon's body, the golden pattern she had to banish the Lost Ones to the Dark Puddles, changes into a glowing golden circular arrow.)

Audrey: I'm starting over.

Ink Demon: what?! (sees that on his right arm, he has the same mark Audrey has but inverted, and also starts to glow in bright gold)

Audrey: This...is the end.

(Audrey grunts as her mark glows gold and begins to control the Ink Demon's movements, breaking down through the door and walls, smashing through nearby lost ones. the second Ink Demon was now in his Beast form, and he had Audrey control him with her powers against his will as she smashed through the door.)

Ink Demon: You're just a PAWN! What makes you think you can defy me?! Arise, my domain! destroy this traitor!

(Audrey, controlling Beast Bendy 2 simply rushes forward, hacking and slashing at attacking ink creatures and punching through doors. eventually, they reach a dead end, as iridescent Lost ones surrounded them, weakening Audrey's ability to control the ink demon.)

Ink Demon: the road is shut. you are surrounded. there can be no victory. now, you will DIE!

(Suddenly, Allison and Twisted Alice come in from the door, with Alice shooting at them with Tommy Gun and Allison slashing at them with her sword.)

Audrey: Allison! Alice!

Allison: Audrey? is that you in there?

Twisted Alice: how dare that Ink Demon consume such a sweet and innocent soul?! (starts to shoot at more Lost Ones)

Allison: (to Audrey) come on! keep moving! we'll get you through! Tom! make us some trouble!

(from the other door, Tom appears, riding on the back of Big Steve who roared furiously and begins attacking the Lost Ones)

Allison: Audrey! run!

Twisted Alice: Keep going, honey!

(Audrey keeps moving forward, breaking down the walls, and hearing the giggle of Porter who teleported in all directions to help Audrey.)

Allison: We got this! just keep fighting!

Sammy: (raises his hands upon seeing Beast Bendy 2 hacking and slashing at the lost ones) the Ink Demon Rises! surrender yourselves to the lord of the Dark Puddles! it's time to believe!

(Audrey, in control of Beast Bendy 2 keeps breaking down the walls and doors, killing nearby lost ones, among the lost ones who got killed, the iconic wilhelm scream was heard. that's when Sophie, Bendy 1 and Bailey come in charging at the Lost Ones with their weapons)

Audrey: Sophie!

Sophie: Hey guys! sorry we're late for the party! (turns to face Beast Bendy 2) Holy shit what is that?!

(Bendy looks at his arm that emitted a faint golden glow, having the same pattern as Audrey and Bendy 2, since he was the second ink demon's other half. the realization hit him that not only he and the other Bendy are two halves of the same being...but they also have a relation to Audrey. that pattern they have, is their shared birthmark.)

Bendy: that's Bendy 2! my other half! and...Audrey...! no way... she's my...my sister...?! O.O

(Bendy 1 hears the voice of Bendy 2 speaking to him in his mind...)

''She is our sister. and we have to help her.''

Bendy 1: Bendy 2... O.O

(Beast Bendy 2 creates a golden projection of his toon self via Audrey's soul, floating over to Bendy 1)

Bendy 2: Bendy...you and I are two halves of the same being. we both have suffered tremendously under Joey Drew's torture and abuse, making our experiences the same before Wilson split us in two. as for Audrey, she is Joey's daughter, therefore, making all three of us siblings.

Bendy 1: But I don't understand. Henry is the one who created us! so why...?

Bendy 2: there's no denying that Henry is our creator. but it was Joey himself who brought us here through the Ink Machine. do you understand what I'm saying?

Bendy 1: I kind of get it. but why is Audrey inside your body?

Bendy 2: we were both treated like monsters, and therefore we became monsters. there was no one we could turn to for help after we suffered so much... until Sophie came along and saved you. now, its my turn to be saved. this monster that you see is the manifestation of all the anger and hate that I had for those that had wronged and tortured me.

Bendy 1: just like me...

Bendy 2: that's right. Ghg! now, help me and Audrey break out of this hell! set us free! Break the Cycle!

Beast Bendy 2: ENOUGH!

(The projection of Bendy 2 screamed in pain as he vanished back into the shadows of the monster he inhabited.)

Allison: we can do this! just keep fighting!

(Sophie transforms into her Black Seraph form, holding out her scythe, Bendy 1 and Bailey pull out their own weapons and accompany Audrey who was trapped in Beast Bendy 2's body, slashing and hacking at several Lost Ones until they reach a dead end.)

Audrey: Dead end! now what?

'' Need some help? ''

(they look up to see Henry Stein.)

Bendy: HENRY! OWO

Audrey: Henry, you came!

Henry: Some battles are worth fighting for...even a million times. come on! I found a projector up ahead! run for it!

Ink Demon: this realm is mine! and the cycle will continue on forever!

Audrey: No! IT WON'T! we'll be better! we all will!

(Henry opens the door, leading the group to the projector. Audrey interacts with the Projector, pulling out THE END Reel, and turns on the Projectionist's head. then, aims the projector at herself and at the Ink Demon, as its light shined down on them, slowly undoing the fusion and breaking them out of the Cycle, and everything turns white.

now, Audrey and the second ink demon are stuck between the Cycle and the outside world.)

Ink Demon: where are we? are we...dead?

Audrey: No...but we are in between the outside world and the ink realm. a limbo you might say.

Ink Demon: what? what is the meaning of this?! your soul was supposed to have ceased to exist!

Audrey: so was your entire being.

Ink Demon: DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!

Audrey: Okay, enough with the moodiness. I have something for you.

Ink Demon: Oh really? and what would that be?

Audrey: I thought you might like it. (pulls out the wooden train toy)

Ink Demon: Is....is that...? (takes the Train Toy, remembering how he used to play with it in his toon form) you kept it...but why?

Audrey: I thought you may miss it. so I decided to keep it for you until the right moment.

Ink Demon: Why go to such lengths for me?

Audrey: (places her hands on both sides of his face) because everyone deserves to have a chance to be happy. even you.

Ink Demon: but...I've been cruel to you. I used you...tried to kill you...I even killed your father. our father. so...why?

Audrey: because you've been treated like a monster, and that's why you acted like one. so I'm gonna treat you with kindness, and love that you deserve. (hugs him)

Ink Demon: ...?! (looks at Audrey, his sister, momentarily, as he lets go of his vengeful hate and anger thanks to Audrey, and so, he couldn't help but hug her back) Thank you... Audrey.

(the two ink siblings hugged each other, before the Ink Demon's form melted away, shrinking back into his toon form, tears were streaming down his face as he held onto the train toy. he looks up at Audrey, who smiled at him with compassion.)

Audrey: its time to go home, Bendy 2...to a place where no one will ever harm you again.

(Bendy 2 smiled at that and drifted off into sleep, smiling a sad yet relieved smile as Audrey held him protectively and carried him into the light that leads to the outside world.)

((see image here: 64.media.tumblr.com/809d9cb2e0… ))

(and so once again everything flashed white as Audrey and Bendy 2 made it to the light...leading them back to the outside world. once the light died down, we find ourselves in Audrey's house and we hear her narrate.)

Audrey: (narrating) My father once told me that just because we're born out of darkness, doesn't mean we belong to it...we're always free to choose. and here at the very beginning, there's a choice to make. as the heiress to the Cycle, I paved the way for Sophie and the others to break my father's curse for good. and so, I made the Cycle more bearable for my friends inside and want to find a way out as well. but as for me, I'm the first of my kind... born of ink, but living in flesh. Joey's curse is going to be unleashed into our world at any moment...so, I'm putting my trust in Sophie and in Henry to make things right.

(Audrey looks over at the sepia toned Bendy 2, holding his hand in hers as their birthmarks on their palms shimmered lightly. the scene shifts back to the cycle, as we see Bendy 1 and Bailey having an emotional reunion with Henry Stein and Sammy Lawrence, with Allison, Twisted Alice, and Tom, watching with smiles on their faces, going as far as to be introduced to Betty, who managed to escape Wilson's Manor when it collapsed.

then, we see Sophie, who's eyes glow in bright gold color, looking around the studio and then towards the Ink Machine.)

Sophie: the effects of the Cycle weakened severely and I owe it all to Audrey. But I gotta admit, there's something about this power of mine that still have negative effects on me. (crimson blood began to trickle down her eyes, and she had to stop the golden vision immediately)

(Sophie wipes her eyes from the blood, opening them again as they return to their original emerald green color.)

Sophie: there's something about that Machine that still gives off that dark presence that affected everyone in the Cycle, myself included. Audrey has played her part... (pulls out her scythe, glaring at the machine that was the catalyst of the Cycle, having a determined look on her face) and now It's time I'll play my part...to Break the Cycle!
