Slendy got back to the hotel lobby room and watched as the wandering CreepyPastas came to a stop to look at him. Ben Drowned, Masky, Hoodie, Seedeater, Skintaker, they all stopped and stared at him.

"Slendy? What's going on?" The psychotic pink pony asked.

Slendy looked down and communicated that everything was fine. As Slendy doesn't appear to talk, everyone has learned to read his body movements, and despite the lack of a face, his "facial" expressions as well. The tall man wandered up the stairs, and all the other Pastas went back to their regular schedule. Pinkimena however, was not satisfied with the answer. She knew something was going on. When she was killing things back in the day, she could tell when people lie. It was her Pinkie Sense but twisted. She wanted to find out what was going on and quietly followed Slendy. She had to be careful, no one could ever try to follow Slendy, it was impossible, or so we thought. The only exception is when he is distracted, so Pinkimena was able to follow him with relative ease.

Eventually, Slendy made it to the infirmary and saw Max resting in his own bed again. He was aware Slendy was nearby when his TV started to glitch and show static. The boy sat up and looked, as the door opened by itself before the tall dark-suited figure teleported in.

"Hey, Slendy. Still doing those dramatic entrances?" Max playfully asked.

Slendy shrugged and simply stared at Max.

"You trapped that white monster in the caves? How long do you think it'll stay in there?" Max asked, seemingly concerned.

Another moment of silence passed as Slendy stood there.

"I don't know where it came from. All I know is that I went looking for Suzy and I was attacked. I did my best to try to fight it off, but it was really strong. I've never seen anything like it." The boy explained, scratching his head.

Slendy paced around the room, pondering in his mind what this Blank Beast could be. It definitely wasn't a new kind of CreepyPasta. And it didn't look like any kind of animal. He looked back at Max and stared.

"It said something like, it wants our DNA? I guess it means the blood kind since it tried to kill me and Suzy, even if she's just a doll. But even then, why would it want that?" He asked.

Slendy thought about it more, from the way Max was describing its speech, it sounded robotic. It could possibly be some sort of advanced robot. Slendy has been around the block for a while, and has seen humans build all kinds of things, but this would be the next level.

"Maybe it could be an alien? Aliens exist so they could be invading us." Max threw the suggestion out there, to which Slendy shot that idea down.

Sure aliens exist, but they would be smart enough to not attack strong supernatural creatures, or at least that is what he would have believed. Whatever this creature is, they must find a way to kill it fast. Otherwise, they all could be in grave danger. Max asked if he could ask Slendy something. Of course he "said" yes.

"What if it somehow got my scent or something? And what if it's going to get to the Hotel?" Max asked, fear filling his head as the possible reality settled in.

The thought of him endangering people he cared about shook him to his core. Sure, they weren't the nicest people with all their teasing and resentment towards him, but they were still a family to him. Slendy reassured him that there was no way that could happen. If that was the case, the beast would have been at the Hotel already, not at Zalgo's peaks. Unfortunately for the duo, Pinkimena was lurking outside the room, eavesdropping on the situation. To her twisted mind, it sounded like Max was responsible for this creature. Because of HIM, everyone, their entire lives, their way of living was in danger. 

This made the pony furious, something inside her changed. All of this, this cowering away, hiding from things, this was not their way, it was NONE of their ways! In a moment of anger and frustration, she ran off. Her hooves clicked against the tile flooring, which alerted Slendy. But to him, he was to busy to look and see as he was tending to the boy lying in his hospital bed. Slendy realized Max's thoughts would not change, but he still assured Max that the Blank Beast could not find its way to the Hotel, and even if it did, all of the citizens attacking it at once would be WAY to much for it. As Max's mind dwelled on this, he started to feel a but better at the bottom of his heart. The tall man ruffled his black locks in a fatherly manner, signifying to the tween that everything would be ok. He will find a way to kill this beast before it can cause anymore damage. Slendy always had his way of getting rid of obstacles in his way.

As static filled the room, he vanished, leaving Max alone once more. Appearing in his dark room, which consisted of nothing but a single desk and a lamp which illuminated that spot in the void, the faceless anomaly sat at his mahogany desk, planting himself in his cushioned wooden chair. He lifted one of his long, slender limbs, and a book flew in from the dark void and into his hand, like a bat out of hell. The book was very large and looked quite old. A black tattered leather cover, with red symbols on it, which are illegible, at least, to a normal human. This was the writing of Zalgo, their lord and ruler. As Slendy opened the paged, he looked through the old semi stained papers. These were documents of every CreepyPasta known to man. Ranging all the way from Zero and Homicidal Liu, to Symmetry and Candy Cane.

Hours went by, the gently ticking was audible in Slendy's room, despite the lack of any visible clock. Just like Slendy, his room was also a mystery. He spent all this time looking through all the pages, just to double-check if the beast actually wasn't a CreepyPasta, and sure enough, it did not appear in the book. Now I know what you are thinking reader, how can he be so sure this isn't a NEW CreepyPasta? Well, the book itself is designed to automatically add a new page about a CreepyPasta once it is born or created. And considering no new page was added, that theory is indeed busted. As he flipped through the paged more, he proceeded to the spell section of the book, to see if anything could kill it properly, but before he could continue, a knock was heard at his door.

He stood up and walked towards the door, once he opened it, he was greeted by an angry horde of shouting and ranting Pastas, all angry about the situation that was unfolding. And who was in front of the crowd? None other than Pinkimena herself. This could be a problem.
