Female!Reader X Bendy ( Beautiful Black )

The Garden of Fallen Dreams

A thin layer of sweat covered her nape as she calms the darting Bendy who was in a haste. They passed by the throne room, which was to be expected, empty. However, the trails of ink were visible, Kerrin pointed out and Bendy marched again after the marks.

The trail leads them to a second layer within the ink machine. Bendy doesn't recognize the path so he slowed down. The hidden passage within the ink machine was right above the pipes and the mechanic gears, the further they go, the distinct grinding sound of the machine was fainting.

"Henry!"

They saw the man, stiff and blue inside one of the inky pipes. The sight of the lifeless body floating in the barrier of ink, jolted Kerrin with a panic gasp.

"Hmm? What is this? You came by yourselves," Joey perceived the situation before he grins it off, "Look at you Bendy, you don't look like a Toon anymore!"

Bendy gurgles as he displays his fangs in response. As much as they wanted to Help Henry, in stunned horror, they questioned the creator.

Joey's veins were throbbing visually, the eyes are madly bugged out and there were the horns and a sudden change of what used to be a grayish hair. He was like a monster in a figure of a human.

"A...Are you really my father?"

He was taken back by his daughter's frown of painful indecision. He ignored the question and looked at Bendy who charged to help Henry, then immediately appeared right before him He carried Bendy's gigantic hand and threw him the other side. Kerrin flinched back to how powerful her father suddenly become, to be able to do that. And he looked unpleased by something.

"Odd, really odd. Why are you defying the creator's will?"

Joey raises his hand as he tries his little trick back then. Bendy shakes his head and faces forward before he declares his war cry.

Kerrin took the opportunity to sneak and help Henry. She knocked the glass pipe a few times, Joey caught her red-handed, "What do you think you are doing?" he stops her. Her mouth dried, yet she noticed something which changed her whole view about her father.

Bendy slapped him away from her until he hit off the wall. Joey stood up as if it was nothing and brushed the dust away from his shoulders. The beast looked at Kerrin, gave her a nod then went after the creator, occupying him.

Their quick movements were intense, their clashing was ferocious, the place was in a wreck, if they keep it up, they would fail into demise.

We need to get Henry out quick and fast, but how?! The girl observed the room away from the demons, there was a wall with handles and valves, she turns them all off, but nothing happened.

"It's no use, Henry is far gone now! Now the process of ink-molding shall start soon," Joey persuades his little girl to give it up, but she didn't and Bendy did not stop as he knuckles the creator down to the ground, raining him punches one after the other. Joey feds up, holds his punch back and throws him away.

"I also figured out why you are able to defy me, you have a heart, haven't you? bestowed by someone else," he eyeballs Kerrin as the only suspect behind it.

"And I completely know by now you are not my father. You... you are just taking his shape. You are the entity behind this all. My father, Joey, had a birthmark on the left side of his neck, I know this very well. You... whatever you are, you are connected to the machine... because the truth is.... My father was long dead, wasn't he?"

Kerrin had this assumption for a very long time, and seeing how things right now, seeing how madly he has gone, the birthmark, the things he was doing, the way he reacted, that robotic voice of his and how he can't leave the ink machine even though he was aware that Henry and herself stepped inside the workshop. The least he could do is get them as soon as possible instead of waiting for them to come to him.

The dark eyes radiated a fierce, uncompromising intelligence. But the truth hurts, as the tears took the better of her. Because the truth, she was preparing herself for this moment for what felt like decades. What was the odds that her father would be the only one safe and sound behind all the incidents and the accidents? The figure of Joey blackened, he deformed after she drop the bombshell. 

"N...no. I am Joey Drew! W-what are you talking about?! IT IS ME! YOUR FATHER!"

Agitated, he ripped up one of the empty pipes from the ground and slanders it at the girl's direction. Bendy fitches it mid-air and throws it back at him.

"Bendy! can you crash Henry's pipe??" she wipes away her tears and shaking her head, Henry's can't struggle any longer without air.

Bendy nods before backing away to charge at the pipe. Joey stops him as he jumps on his head and opens his upper jaw hard enough to tear it.

"Bendy!! no!!"

He was spinning along, being tamed by the corrupted man. The vipers of ink oozed from Joey as he controls it around Bendy's body, an arrow shape formed onto his chest to where the heart was throbbing. The devil, feeling endangered, sprinted at Henry's pipe, and flung his back at the pipe, leaving the hard impact for Joey to take.

The pipe shattered, the body swam out of it, still motionless. Kerrin rushed and shook his body and smacked Henry's face repeatedly.

"Henry?! Uncle Henry??? Wake up! Please," she puts her ears on his chest, his heartbeat was weak but there was a little hope. She turns his head to the side, allowing any ink to drain from his nose, then turned the head back to the center and stomped his stomach and chest.

"Ahhhh I dunno, am I doing this right?!" confused, she remembered the steps of reviving a drowned person from the movies.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" corrupted Joey yelled, "No more playing around!"

The ink machine stopped functioning after his last cry, "All of you, back to me!"

The ink from living entities within the ink machine swiped, carrying Alice and Boris on the way and everyone on the way to the creator. A massive storm of ink blasted at Joey, who swallowed it all into his mouth.

"You get yourself a heart, cheat your size and power and you think you can defy me?! I'll show you real power! YOU WILL FEAR ME!"

The ink machine hummed back, Joey's appearance was growing like a phantom. Kerrin and Bendy froze looking at the giant black creature with the appearance of a wolf and the face of a man, the jaws of a demon that can tear flesh from the bones.

Just then, Henry coughed the ink from his mouth, gasping for air before he witnesses the terrific sight.

Bendy roars at the face of his creator, defending his precious friend and Henry. The beast takes one last look at Kerrin before he determines something.

-Bendy.... what are you up to? Kerrin, can't shake the feeling of insecurity, she holds Henry by the hand for comfort.

He remembers Kerrin's words, before dashing with all his might and headbutting the core of the machine, the pipes and everything available. He aims to destroy the machine.

"I-Is he alright?" Henry fathomed somehow that he was Bendy, concerned it was as if he is running blind. However, Kerrin knew what her devil was up to.

"Bendy! No! cut it out!!"

"What do you think you are doing?! You little brat!"

Joey jams his way through, odd noises came out from his mouth his abnormal size with all the ink he sucked nearly swallowed everyone in the room and crashed more things on his way. Kerrin and Henry run for it while Bendy covered their back snarling at Joey. Unaware of the mounting frustration that caused him, he darts his hand on Bendy's chest, grabbing the heart and clutches it until it was nothing but ink and dead skin.

"GHAAAAAAAH!"

The rising growl of anguish after his heart been snatched away, Bendy fell on the ground in awe. The chest sears with electrical jolts of pain he has never come across to. It left him crying, gasping for air, unable to breathe and completely stiff and twitching.

"Oh no.... no no no no!!!" Kerrin, shell-shocked. Dropped down onto her knees, coupled with dread. There was nowhere to run or hide.

Bendy has lost.
