The Searcher Raid

"Sammy!?" You panicked, gripping the axe tightly as you raised it up in fear. "What are those!?"

"No time to explain! Hurry, kill them!" Sammy's alert voice immediately hollered in response.

"I can't!" You replied. "I can't do this!"

"You have to! Come on, (Y/N)! I believe in you!"

The creepy, crawling ink monsters got closer one by one. When they got close enough, the lunged for you and tried to grab you. You shrieked each time and relentlessly swung the axe in defensive panic, eventually hitting the monsters as they disappeared in a massive burst of ink splatters.

Yet with each one you killed, more would come. The Lost Ones came out of hiding when they heard you were in danger and went on to fight off the oncoming horde of monsters. They outnumbered the monsters are the start, but you could see they were slowly becoming evenly matched in number.

"Sammy, what's going on!?" You panicked, whipping around to tightly grip a plank of wood the boarded the doorway.

"Listen to me carefully, (Y/N)!" Sammy's words were rushed and filled with panic. "Those are Searchers! Bendy makes them himself, they're meant to search for you! And now that they've found you, he's going to come down here!"

"Bendy's coming?" You asked with a small smile and hope.

"No, listen to me! Remember what I said? Bendy's changed, he might not remember you! But I know what you can do to reach him. Follow the pathway over to the right, it should lead you close to his place of living. And no matter what, don't turn back ever!"

"Sammy, no!" You sobbed. "I can't leave you here! If Bendy finds you, he'll kill you for sure! If you stay, them I'm staying too!"

"Will you shut up for a damn second!?" Sammy hollered. "There's no time to discuss this, do stop trying to be a hero! You're not! You don't know anything, not as much about this as I do! Will you please just listen for once!?"

You continued to cry as Sammy removed his mask and reached his hands through the gap, cradling your face gently in his hands. "(Y/N), you and Bendy both gave me a request, and I promised to keep it as best as I could. Now it's time for me to make my own request!"

Staring into his blank, inky face that held nothing but shallow eye sockets, you  continued to cry. You were so stuck and lost, you had no idea what to do as your thoughts frantically wandered and raced. Frightened, you absentmindedly took a small step back.

Suddenly, something grabbed your ankle. You looked down in horror to see a Searcher latched into your leg. It pulled you to the ground, causing Sammy to yell, "(Y/N), no! Don't let it win!"

The rest of the Searchers in the area were alerted by the music director's loud call, and they all forced themselves away from the Lost Ones to help their other that was trying to pull you into its ink puddle that had formed on the floor.

"Hurry the hell up and help her!" Sammy demanded with a loud, enraged roar at the Lost Ones. He was frantically clawing at the floorboards in anxious helplessness.

"Sammy!" You shrieked as the Searchers quickly overpowered you, trying to force you into the ink. The Lost Ones started to fight off the monsters, but you were quickly being devoted by the ink. You gradually sank into it, the sticky substance soon rising to your neck.

The Lost Ones came in clutch at the very last second as they managed to fight off enough Searchers to be able to close enough to you. Just as the ink was about to reach your chin, they grabbed your face and tried to pull you free while the others fought of the remaining Searchers.

Soon your shoulders emerged, then your arms. The Lost Ones released your face and grabbed your arms, which allowed them to be able to pull harder without hurting you as much. They ripped you free from the ink and set you back down in front of the boarded doorway as they returned to fight off the onslaught of Searchers.

"(Y/N), go now!" Sammy demanded. "Before it's too late!"

"I can't leave the Lost Ones! I made a promise. I need to protect them Sammy!" You cried, reaching through the gap to hold his face in your hands. "And I need to keep you safe!"

He ripped your hands off his face and grabbed yours, pulling your head towards the gab in the wooden boards. He managed to press a small, comforting kiss of reassurance to your forehead. "(Y/N), I love you everything about you and all that you've done, but listen to my request! Follow the path to the right, it will lead you straight to Bendy's hideout. Do me a favor and try to help that old son of a bitch! You'll have a better chance in there, I can just feel it."

"I will, Sammy." You nodded.

"Promise me!"

"I promise!"

"Then go already!" Sammy cried desperately. His fingers began to twitch with psychotic intent as his voice slowly started to become insane. "Go save him! Go save yourself! Save us all! This might be our last and only chance!"

"I'm so sorry, Sammy! I promise I'll come back for you when this is over!" You sobbed as he reluctantly released your face. To try and make it up to him, you passed your axe through the biggest gap so you knew Sammy would at least have somewhat of a better chance. You made a beeline to your left, before your friend could say or do anything about the axe, and climbed over the wooden gate, not a single a Searcher nor Lost One seeing you as they were preoccupied with the ensuing battle. And with that, you disappeared from the Lost Harbor, leaving everything behind as you entered the familiar hallway layout of the studio.

~~~~~~~~

Bendy was roaming the halls, trying to find where Henry had gone. After dealing with the Projectionist's corpse, he completely lost track of the old man. He had left Bendy Land through the open cart ride, which the Ink Demon followed into a mansion-like room. Continuing on through the other open gate of the ride, Bendy had had no clue where to go next afterward.

So now, he just quickly roamed the halls as he desperately looked for Henry. He had to find him, and quickly. For if he didn't, he would lose the prime opportunity to find is darling. And Bendy refused to lose his chance, especially after all this time chasing and fighting his way around.

The Ink Demon came to a halt as he heard a familiar moan. Turning around, he saw one of his Searchers behind him. The ink creature made no hesitation in telling the Ink Demon what had been discovered at the Lost Harbor. The news shocked Bendy, but his crazed smile slightly grew nonetheless.

They found his darling! After all this time, she had truly been alive! And now that he knew exactly where she was.... He would find her. He would take her back into his arms. And they would live together in peace once more! A perfect end to a series of tragic, stressful events.

Bendy booked down the hall towards its far end wall. An ink portal formed as Bendy drew closer. "I'm coming, (Y/N)!" He thought as he roared. And with that, he disappeared into the ink portal that closed behind him.
