Henry's PoV

You wake up early in the morning for your travel back to the old studio, but you wondered why Joey asked you to come back and what he wanted you to see. You ignored that thought in your head and decided to get ready.

Before you walk out the door you steal a glance at your bedroom, It was a mix of gray, red and yellow and navy. A good combination of your personality, as you gathered your things you glanced at your kitchen. You didn't feel like eating any breakfast and so you got into your car and drove off into the distance.

About 30 minutes later you arrive at the very old studio.

"Man, this thing's still standing?" You sigh, then open the door with a creak, "Alright Joey, let's see why you asked me here."

As you walked in you realized nothing had changed, or at least nothing you noticed. You look around amazed at how everything was reserved. Soon, your ears caught some kind of noise and you follow it. A projector was playing beside a bendy cut-out, this creeped you out entirely. But when you turned around the same cut-out was there. You decided to turn off the projector though, before you could, the bendy cut-out disappeared around the corner.

You dashed after it only to be met by a large room with a giant machine in the middle. " I wonder if I can turn this machine on somehow?" you asked yourself.

You looked around for a bit until you found a room with six pedestals, each with some kind of picture above it. There were three on one side and three on the other and in the middle...

"Well, there's the power switch Henry." you tried to turn it on using the lever beside the pump but nothing happened when you pulled it.

You turned to the pedestals with a sigh and figured you needed the same items that were pictured on the frames. The first three things you needed were a bendy plush, a record, and an ink jar. The next three things were a book, a wrench, and a gear.

The easiest to find was the bendy plush, for you saw it earlier. After that everything was placed in random areas of the studio. Once you finally found everything, you were to place the items on the pedestals.

"Let's see if this baby will run," You turned on the switch and heard some kind of pumping noise. As you head back to the big machine, you hear someone calling your name, or even warning you.

"Henry! Don't go back, RUN!!!"

The voice was faint, like a whisper but you decided not to listen to it. You arrive back at the machine room and find that it's been boarded up by someone- or something of that matter. The lights flickered and doors slammed as you walk in the eerie hallway. At first, everything wasn't too bad but getting closer to the entrance made ink rise from the floor, flooding a little of the hallway, and you walk up to the boarded entrance.

Immediately when you do, some kind of monster springs out and tries to grab you. You jump out of  the way, turn around, and run as fast as you can to the exit whilst the monster called your name. When you reach the exit, the floor breaks below you and down you go into the studios underground.

Bendy's PoV

Dammit Henry, wake up already

He finally woke up and rubbed the back of his head before looking at you with a surprised expression," B-Bendy!?"

You surprised him but didn't blame him, for you were leaning over his body with a half worried half angry look on your face.

"Glad you're alive, Henry," you say sarcastically, " I told you not to go back to the machine, didn't I?"

"Well, I'm not used to voices in my head, am I?" He retorted

You stared at him with a loathing look for a bit, then sighed "Come on I need to get you away from here." You held your hand out to him and you grabbed his.

As you pulled him up, you forgot about your own weight and nearly got knocked over by him. Before you fell, he manages to catch you by grabbing you by the waist

"S-sorry." He apologized as you blushed slightly, turning your face away from him, "C-come on, let's get you out of here."

As you walk with him through the lower levels of the studio you allowed him to ask a couple of questions.

"Hey, Bendy?"

"Hmm? What is it?" You looked at him with inquiring eyes.

" H-How are you, like, alive?" He asked

"It was the ink machine, it makes copies of the characters based on your true personality and hopes." You sighed," I guess Joey had it rough," you muttered

"Joey!? I- Is he ok? and who was that monster, from earlier?"

You looked at Henry and bit your lip as part of your response," Henry... Joey- hasn't been here for a while I guess. I'm not sure if he's ok though,"

Henry looked down at the floor, and you could tell that he was very upset and decided not to talk to him for a while.

You had given Henry an ax earlier to break through wooden barriers and other obstacles, after about half-an-hour, you both arrived at a door that revealed coffins and a pentagram. You turned to Henry who looked somewhat uneasy.

"Henry?" At that same moment, Henry passed out on the pentagram. You felt a sharp pain in your side, along with a large hand with a sharp piece of wood.

"Gah!"

Crap, a gash?

You quickly stumble away from the pentagram and collapse to the far side of the room. Looking up, you see an inky, monster-like figure.

"You..."

Your eyes began to blur and you were losing consciousness as you simultaneously bleed out.

"Why...Joey..."
