°°Chapter 5: An Inkwell°°

Felix and Oswald followed the inkling that lead the way up the street, passing many houses and the visible ringline the houses had.
"I don't this line was caused by a flood of water, looks to dark and there's no mold.", Felix was mostly speaking to himself, trying to figure out what happened and why.
"Hm. I'm not sure myself, Felix.", Felix and Oswald continued to follow the creature, Oswald cleared his throat,"Uh, Felix, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise about how I reacted to the photo my kids gave you.", Felix was surprised,"Oh? That, it's alright Mr Oswald, I understand it was quite a sensitive topic to you.", Oswald sighed,"Still, I do believe I reacted a bit strong.", then the flap of Oswald's bag opened and his child was awake and up,"Hi, Mister Felix!", "Oh-Hello, I see you're awake.", the bunny child smiled,"Yeah but I'm still a little tired but I wanted to say hi to you.", so then they snuggled back in the bag and fell asleep, Oswald smiled,"Sorry that my child is here, honestly I had no idea she snuck in my bag.", Felix smiled,"It's quite alright, Oswald. Kids are unpredictable and you never know what they'll do next.", he nods in agreement, Oswald was glad that Felix was very understanding and kind towards the situation and while he still didn't like to talk about it, he feels like he's slowly getting better at talking more and about her again.

"Nobody again."
Mickey was growing concerned, Bendy shuddered,"You don't think. . .", Mugman shrugged, he then spoke up,"I dunno. . . But, the main door to this place had scratches on it, it was like someone was trying to get in.", Cuphead shuddered, not wanting to even find out what caused this all to happen.
. . .
"Mickey?. . ."
They heard a voice.
A wolf peeked out of the door, he looked so scared and traumatised,"! Mr Gordon, what's happened and where is everyone?", he looked around nervously,"Keep your voice down. . . The monster will return again. . .", "Monster?", he then held out a camera recorder, he was shaking and looking around like something was going to come out from around the corner.
"Mr Gordon, can you tell us anything. . .?"
"All you need know. . . Is you need to get out of here, I know you can help Mick but. . . This may be out of your hands. . ."
He then closed the door.
. . .
Mickey opened the camera recorder and everyone gathered around him as he clicked the most recent video that had been recorded.

Oswald and Felix came up to the town hall that was supposed to be at the very top at the hill and face the path that lead them up.
. . .
But.
The building was now completely split in half, and it seemed like between and below the cracked open ground and house was full of lake of ink.
"My goodness. . ."
"I've never seen this much ink before."
They looked ahead and noticed at the staircase of the now destroyed town hall was inklings and. . . An Inkwell?
Oswald turned to Felix,"An inkwell? Why are they guarding an inkwell??", Felix frowned to himself,"I don't know. . . But I'm going to find out.", Felix put his bag down, took his hat off and his coat,"What are you going to do??", "Get across.", Felix rolled up his sleeves and tucked his trousers in his boots,"Are you sure???", Felix smiled,"Of course, it's just a hop, skip and a jump.", Felix smiled to reassure him that he would be fine, so Oswald gave him a nod and Felix took a step back, noting the building had wires and pillars that had fallen or had been stretched across the cracked earth and building.
. . .
"Okay."
Felix took a few steps back, then took a running start towards it and made a jump, Oswald watched as Felix grabbed the wires and took a swing and grabbed a pillar!
He pushed himself up, turning back to Oswald who looked impressed by that, Felix stood up and planned his next move and then noticed another Pillar he could easily jump to and so he made a quick jump, kneeling down to catch his breath and plan his next move.
. . .
Okay, he had a plan.
Felix shifted back a bit, standing up and made a jump down to the staircase!
He looked at the inklings but all they did was fled, he shrugged it off and dusted himself off as he walked up to The Inkwell,"Wonder why an Inkwell is here.", "Mr Felix!", Felix heard Bendy, he turned around and saw the others running over with something.
"Bendy?"
Felix then sensed something close, he looked behind the pillar that had the Inkwell and there he froze.
. . .
"Shit."
Felix made a jump and swung back on the pillar, at first they were confused but the out emerged from the shadows was some. . . Inhuman ink monster.
. . .
It didn't look human, it didn't sound human and it certainly didn't act human.
"Perfection. . ., perfection. . . It must be perfect. . ."
It kept walking around the Inkwell, muttering and sometimes shouting the same word; 'Perfection'.
Mickey looked scared and turned to the others,"What do we do?!. . . Felix is stuck up there. . .!", Cuphead and Mugman charge up their finger guns,"I say we shoot it. It will give Felix time to grab what the piece.", Cuphead nods, so they aim their finger guns at the creature and fired!
The creature immediately turned their head to them, so the group ram to draw it away from Felix to give him time to get the piece!
Bendy however was once again affected and turned into a Demon!
Mickey felt like he should say something, but reminded himself of what he's seen so it wasn't the craziest but it was still scary as he watched with Boris and Oswald, Bendy and the cup bros battling the creature.

Felix jumped back down, with a slight stumble and blamed it on the scare he got from when the creature came out of nowhere.
Felix examined the floating Inkwell, testing to see if he could feel anything that kept it in the air, but nothing it was like some force.
Felix could hear a lot of destruction behind him, so he had to be quick but when he tired to it was like it was stuck in mind air or frozen.
So like the gear they found, this was going to require some force.

"Come ON!"
"EVEN THE MERMAID WAS EASY TO TAKE ON!!!"
Mickey looked at Boris and Oswald,"We gotta be able to do something fellas!", Oswald had an idea, he reached into the bag and was careful to not wake up his child and pulls out a paintbrush.
"What- Why do you gave a paintbrush Mr Oswald?"
Oswald handed his bag to Mickey, who was shocked he had that on him and before Boris could ask again Oswald aimed the paintbrush at the creature and fired blue paint at the creature and it immediately began to hiss and try to back away from the blue paint but Oswald kept his aim and approaching it to do more damage and Bendy could do more damage as it began to be weakened by whatever Oswald had.

"MR FELIX, HURRY!!"
Felix continued to pull the Inkwell, as he pulled harder, Bendy began to feel weak and Boris ran to catch him quickly as he does, Felix stumbles back as he freed the Inkwell!
"FELIX!"
Oswald acted quickly, he spun around and used the blue paint to recreate the floor as Felix fell back!
"Woah. . ."
. . .
"Mr Oswald that was. . ."
"YOU AND MR FELIX ARE AMAZING PAPA!!"
He noticed his child was awake and clapping, he smiled as he spun the paintbrush and Felix came over with the Inkwell,"I'm very impressed.", they rejoined the group as they attended to Bendy but Felix noticed something about the creature so he walked towards it.
. . .
"!"
Felix knelt down,"A human. . .?", Mickey turned and walked over,"What. . . Humans don't live around here, they live pretty far away.", Felix nods, as he went to check a pulse, the human grabbed his wirst making Felix gasp and Mickey step back in shock as the others looked over.
The human's eyes were wide open, he was shaking and was as white as a ghost but his grip was stronger than Felix expected.
"Find. . . Pieces. . . Kill. . . Drew. . ."
The human dropped his head back to the ground, closing his eyes and letting Felix go.
