Succumb to the Dark Lord (Dark Revival/Sonic Fan story)

Chapter 2: Search for the Demon

A/N: Happy New Year,everyone! :D

Rosy's POV

I ran towards Allison and jumped in her arms for a hug. She hugged me back and eventually let go. I looked at her.

"My goodness,Rosy. You've grown up so much. I like your outfit."

"Thanks,Allison." I giggled. "That's what six years does to ya. You get bored of your old skirt and replace it with a prettier dress. But I do gotta ask you now,what happened here? Why is everything so slightly different?"

Allison and Tom looked at each other. For all I knew,Tom couldn't speak so he let his trusty partner do all the speaking.

"Someone reset the Cycle while you were away. It felt like everything was altered in a way or two,yet some people kept their memories the same."

"The Cycle? Is that what that reel was about...?"

I remembered. The moment when Henry and I confronted Bendy when he transformed into a giant gorilla-like monster. There was a reel on the huge throne. I thought we did it when I talked Bendy out of his insanity.

"So does that mean Bendy reverted to his old ways again?!" I asked worryingly.

"I'm not entirely sure,Rosy. Tom and I are defenseless without our tools and his prosthetic was lost during a hoarde attack." She explained,looking at her friend.

"My home is being attacked by a fusion of three metalic monstrosities. I need to find Bendy and ask for his help. I know if we combine our powers we can prevent the destruction of our home! Please,Allison,let me go find him."

She was reluctant. I could see it in her face. It was either because of the dangers I was yet to face,I was on my own,I was still pretty young or maybe all three of them.

"Do you think you'd handle the Studio in its new form?"

"I'm 17,Allison. And I spent six years in becoming stronger AND faster. I don't know how helpful any of those skills would be here,but I know I can do it. Even if I went on my own."

Tom walked up to me and gave me a piece of paper. I assumed it was his own way of communicating with people except for Allison. I read the paper:

'Whatever choice you make while going through this horrible place,be extremely careful,kid. And good luck.'

I looked at him. He gave me an assuring nod. I smiled.

"I will,Tom. I promise."

"I know you can do it,Rosy. I believe in you."

After I heard those words,I left the two alone and entered the darkness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I slowly walked across the long,long halls of the reset Studio. Who could've possibly made everything we did undone? This was ridiculous. As soon as I find them,I'll make them regret it.

Just then,my flannel pocket glowed. I pulled off the glow and I realised,I still had a Chaos Emerald in hand. I could use it as a flashlight in the darker parts of the place,but then again I didn't know what lurked around. Who knew what could snatch it from me and use it for the worse. So,I put it back in my jacket and let it shine my way.

Ink was dripping from the walls and the ceiling,I could hear my own footsteps on the floor. I bet others could too.

There was grumbling sounds. I quickly turned around and only saw a bunch of boxes falling from impact. That was...concerning in a way. It's like I'm being told I was heading towards danger.

Then there was a huge shadow in the distance. I couldn't tell what or who it was. When I tried to approach it,it got away.

Odd. I thought for sure that was someone I knew.

I needed answers. So I continued onwards.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eventually,I reached a lit up room. Its entrance sign said 'Animation Alley'. There was flowers around the sign,a couch next to the door,I assumed here was where those old cartoons were being made and filmed.

You'd think I was safe with just a Chaos Emerald in hand and more experience,right? Well,unfortunately,no.

As soon as the door opened,it didn't only show cutouts of my dearest friends,but those Lost creatures I encountered once upon a time.

Somehow they saw me and with even a plank wood in hand or something else,they charged and tried to attack me.

I remembered Mom's hammerspace skills and used them to my gain to summon my hammer out of nowhere and fight back.

I was able to squish these guys like no tomorrow,but before I knew it,a pipe was thrown at me. I quickly ducked and watched the weapon hit a wall,it made me drop my hammer.

"Hey,what the heck are you doing?!"

The stranger was at least sensible to show themselves. It was a woman,covered in loads of ink. Her eyes were glowing and the ink on her face looked an awful lot like tears streaming down. She wasn't a Lost One,but she looked like on the brink of becoming one.

"What,you're not gonna attack me?" She asked.

"Uh,no? I was defending myself from those guys. But why'd you have to throw your weapon at me?"

"I thought you were one of them. But since you are not...who-...what even are you? How did you get here?"

Before I answered,I gave her back the pipe. It was like the Gent pipe Henry used one time.

"I'm a hedgehog. I got here through powers from my world. And I came here to find my friend and ask him for his help. And...maybe tell him how I feel."

Oh,right. My feelings for Bendy grew and grew,I was in love with him,but I never got to tell him how I felt. I wondered if he felt the same way. But was that even possible? His love interest in the show was Alice,yet they never truly felt in love outside it... I blushed a little bit.

The woman looked at me and her face was surprisingly sympathetic.

"A journey for love,huh?"

I nodded.

"Well,maybe I could help you with that. Maybe we could also get out of here together..."

"We can? I mean,I can help you with that. As long as we find him."

She chuckled slightly. "Okay,we'll do that. Just tell me,what's your name?"

"I'm Rosy. Rosy the Rascal."

"I'm Audrey."

"Audrey...That's a nice name."

"Thank you. Now come on,let's move onwards."

I picked up my hammer again and followed Audrey inside the Animation Alley. It was nice to have some company again.

Was it possible for us to survive together and reach our goals after all?

To be continued...
