It had been a few days since you'd managed to purge the evil of Susie Campbell from Alice and you, Bendy, who'd healed at that point, and the no longer twisted Alice had been put in a sort of cell by another Alice Angel and a Boris with a mechanical arm. You stood against the wall of the cell the three of you were in as the Alice on the other side began humming a familiar tune before asking, "Who are you?... Why are you here?"

You walked up to the wooden boards holding you Bendy and Alice in and said, "My grandfather's friend invited him here, I came in his stead. And now I'm trapped down here." She lightly turned to you and said, "That still doesn't tell me who you are..." You were getting a little annoyed at her as you fired back, "My name is (Y/N). You haven't even told me your name."

"Well. People down here call me Alison, but I'm no angel." She said as she turned and appeared to Leer at Alice who looked away in shame. "Hey! I know she's done bad but she's not that person anymore." You said as the Mechanical Boris walked in with the butcher gang members. "Aw come on Alice!" Charley said as he walked up to the cell, "This kid has done nothing but help us the entire time they've been down here, I even saw with my own two eyes how they cured Alice over there. The reaction afterwards was nothing the twisted version could make up." You looked in between the two before all of a sudden a rumble filled the area along with a distant growl.

"Oh no... the Ink Demon found us! Tom hurry! We have to get them out of here!" Alison said as she began tugging on the boards but the Mechanical Boris stopped her and shook his head, "*Gasp* I'm sorry..." She and Boris ran out the main door. "ALISON! WAIT!" Charley shouted before cursing to himself and turning to Harley, "Take Edgar and follow them, I'll be right behind you. I can't just leave them, stay safe friend."

Harley nodded and lead Edgar out before Charley grabbed a nearby crowbar and began prying away at the boards. "We have to get out of here! I've never sensed this level of anger from the other me before!" Bendy said as he began tearing away boards from your side with your and Alice's help. Soon the four of you had managed to pry open the door and made a run for it, with you quickly spotting some sort of magnifying glass on the table, grabbing it just in case, and sprinting as fast as you could.

Despite some small complications, the group of you made it to this large bay sort of thing seeing Boris, Alison, Harley and Edgar gliding away into a tunnel on a raft. "Quick! On the other boat!" You said as you ran over to a lever and put the raft into the murky ink. You hopped aboard as Charley pulled down on a lever that started the engine and soon enough the four of you were slowly cruising down the tunnel. Taking the moment to calm down and rest after that stressful situation, you noticed that Alice had been silent nearly the entire time.

"You okay Alice?" You said as you sat down next to her. She looked at her hands before stating, "Was it the best idea to keep me alive? After meeting that other Alice, Alison, I feel like I'm some sort of horrific monster because of what I did..." You sat for a moment before taking her hand and saying, "You have to remember that that wasn't your fault. I've seen the evidence and Susie became deranged and obsessed with becoming you after she was replaced by another voice actress. Really it was her fault for not letting it go like she should've. And I have a feeling that Mr. Drew had something to do with it. So know that you don't have to let her actions keep you down. And hey, after you were freed your face has begun to heal."

She clutched the side of her face that had previously been mangled and now was healing. While still a little bumpy, she looked more like herself then before. Then all of a sudden the raft was jerked forward as something got caught in the turbine. "What the heck?" Bendy said as you and him looked to the turbine to see a bunch of ink blobs clogging the turbine and preventing it from moving. As you were about to remove them, another large splash sound from ahead of the group caught your attention, you looked to see a giant hand coming up from the river as it grabbed another raft ahead of you and dragged it into the river below.
