Ink Illness

Notes:

Inspired by the comic 'Bendy and Boris: Quest for the ink machine' by TheGreatRouge. An amazing artist and I so love her concepts, stories, comics and various AUs. Be sure to pop her a visit if you haven't!

Anyways, read at your own risk. This is depressing and details death and a very pain one. Reader discretion is advised.

Still here? Cool! Read ahead!

Ink skidded backwards to a stop. He glared at his enemy, his brush raised with paint gathering at the tip, waiting for their next move.

Error smirked slightly. He'd knocked him back a bit. Good. He summoned three gasterblasters and shot them at Ink in quick succession. He needed to end this soon. The AU would collapse soon.

Ink painted the ground and a wall of purple paint blocked the blasts from the blasters.

He scowled and swung his brush, throwing a large splatter of paint towards Error.

Error used his strings to block the attack, wincing slightly as they were quickly eaten up by the acid. He summoned new ones, trying to tie up Ink with them.

Ink growled when he saw the attack, he readied his own attack to counter Error's strings.

Before he could shoot, he gasped when he felt something clench his hard. He stumbled forward, his brush dropping as he covered his mouth and grabs his chest. He stared wide eyed at the ground, his eye lights small and shaky. His insides were burning as he coughed harshly.

Not again. Not now!

Error let his strings vanish and looked at Ink doubtfully. Was he faking an injury? He had barely hit him.

That coughing definitely didn't sound good. He watched, his weapons there but not attacking as his enemy gasped for air.

With a harsh cough, he spat out both black ink and red blood onto his hand. He pulls his hand back to look at the liquid staining his glove, more ink and blood dripped down his chin from his mouth.

Another sharp clench of his Soul had him gasping in pain and drop to his knees, hunched over to try and contain a scream. Stars it hurts so much. The hand on his chest glitched a few time before he coughed out more blood and ink, tears dripping down his face and combining with the ink and blood.

Error frowned. Had Ink just glitched? Surely that was only his imagination... He winced when he saw the blood and ink on Ink's hand.

What was wrong with the creator...?

"cREatOR. why aRE yOu cOughing up blOOd?" Error asked, trying to keep his voice neutral.

"I-" Ink tried to reply but all he ended up doing was choking and coughing. He gasped wetly, trying to suck in more air that refused to come in. His Soul clenched feeling constricted. The rapid breathing he's doing is making him light headed alongside the pain making him dizzy. His vision begins to blackened as he coughed and gasped and choked.

Error frowned. He looked around, seeing the AU start to crumble. He opened a portal underneath Ink and sent him to the doodle sphere. He hoped Ink wouldn't die. It would offset the balance. He was pretty sure Ink was immortal though.

Ink could barely feel himself fall through a portal underneath him. Nor the fall onto an island in the Doodle Sphere. All he felt was pain and dizziness accompanied by light headedness. Eventually, he couldn't take the pain and passed out on the island. His body glitched once, twice, before he laid silent and still. A pool of ink and blood starting to pool under his face dripping from his mouth.
