*Third Person Narration*

The darkened hallways dripping with ink did not resonate well with Sammy Lawrence as he wandered about the corridors.

He was trying to seek out the Ink Demon and try again to reason with him for freedom...but so far, he hadn't had any luck...

The shadows were creeping about... every flicker of the lights overhead continued to have the once successful composer more unnerved...

Zeta, having recovered from the previous bout with Beta, watched him from the darkness...it was going to be all too easy to make Sammy fall before him. Quiet as a mouse, the Ink Demon crept up on him, a sinister laughter rumbling in his ribcage as he slowly reached towards his prey...before he got the chance to jump him, Zeta felt something hit him from behind. Growling in frustration, he turned his head.

Zeta: WHO DID THAT!?

Jack: Sammy, look out behind you!

Sammy: *turns around* Excuse me?

Jack: Something is headed your way, and it's not looking good!

Sammy: What the hell are you talking about, Fain? There's nothing behind me---

Sammy froze for a moment...standing behind him were four toon demons, formally known as the Demon Quad, and they were prepared to tear into the crazed musician once Zeta gave them permission.

Zeta: What you see here is the Demon Quad, my brethren created from the Dark Puddles to instill fear into the hearts of those within the studio. And since you both are present, why don't we test out how much pain they can inflict...shall we?~

Within a split second, Jack was quick on his feet as he grabbed Sammy and made a run for it. The Demon Quad in hot pursuit as Zeta watched them go further and further away...

Zeta: Ah, there we go. Now that I have those two taken care of, I can't keep my little flower waiting...nor Henry, so they better watch out~

Sammy and Jack were still on the run from the Demon Quad. Luckily there was an escape route open, big enough so that Sammy could make a clean getaway... unfortunately, the quad didn't think to stop short when they all crashed into the entryway.

They weren't the brightest bulbs on the shelf, but thinking about the four of them stuck in the vent for more than 30 minutes seemed to be hilarious in its own right. However, when they managed to get free, Zeta clearly wasn't happy knowing that Sammy and Jack got away scot-free.

Meanwhile, in another area of the studio...

Alice: *tying her hair in a ponytail while Boris keeps a vigil on the halls*

Boris: Alice, we're all clear.

Alice: Alright, let's move out!

*Alice's Narration*

If we ever hope to escape here, we'll need to stay close to one another no matter what...even in the darkest times, we can't allow ourselves and others to suffer at the hands of our adversaries... here's hoping we can finally get out of this hell, and reunited with Beck again...

(The scene transitions over to Beck as he prepares himself to crawl through the vents. Flashlight and bag in hand, he begins his journey.)

*Beck's Narration*

Wow...these vents really do go on forever, don't they? Someone could just as easily get lost in here, even to the point where their claustrophobia kicks in and causes them to go stir crazy...hopefully I'll be able to reach Henry and his kids before my brother makes his next move...now that I think about it, despite us having separate personalities, we're still the same....the Bendy Brothers era is starting to come back to me now....

Years ago, when the Bendy Brothers debuted, Joey wanted the saga to be known all across the globe. People from different countries would come far and wide to see us entertain them in the darkest times when despair took root. But one day, my brother was in no condition to meet with the investors, leading up to his incarceration, no thanks to Joey of course...he didn't deserve the pain he felt by this man's hand. He only craved perfection in all sorts of twisted ways...

Even now...my brother is still struggling with his embitterment, holding a grudge on not just Joey, but on me as well...I tried to get my brother out of the situation, but he told me to leave...he told me to get help...naturally, I think we were both at fault for what happened...Ziek is more than just my brother, he's half of what I am...charismatic, snarky, a wise cracker, likable even...but it all went downhill after our death...the ink took a hold of him no matter how hard he fought...and it turned him into an Ink Demon...the thought still sends chills down and spine thinking of the fate of Henry and his children if he lost all sanity and caused enough damage to break them...

...

...

NO!

I can't think about that now! I need to hurry and find them before it's too late!
