Reanimate The Future

Chapter 2: The Studio Has Awoken

"So you've brought me to a run down studio?" Questioned Bridgette as she gave Henry an unimpressed glance, crossing her arms over her chest as she looked blankly at the studio.

"Well... Yeah... like I said I was invited back by some old friends" Answered Henry as he looked up his car and started walking up to the Studio, letting the memories come flooding back to him.

Bridgette took a look up at the sign still hanging on the studio wall. Making her question something which she'd heard a long time ago.

"Wasn't this the studio where that girl died ten years ago" Questioned Bridgette as the strolled along side Henry, turning her head to look up at Henry.

Henry stopped dead in his tracks. Looking down at the ground infront of him. Now starting to put one and two together... and it wasn't adding up anymore.

"Yeah... it was" Trailed off Henry as he let out a tiny sigh and slowed down his pace, now walking like he was part of unliving.

Both of them stopping in front of the door. Henry taking a light sigh as he pushed open the door. A creak echoing in the studio as new sun rays poured into the forgotten place. Walls once made with wood now stained with patches of ink now lining them. This once lively studio now... coated with the eternal darkness.

Cautiously Henry and Bridgette strolled into the studio. Every creak and noise making them jump and shiver. Neither of them having a clue what had happened to this place.

"Joey... are you here?" Shouted Henry in the desolate corridors, hearing his voice howling in the corridors of the Studio.

"Clearly no one is here Henry... so why don't we just leave" Stated Bridgette in a slightly sarcastic tome as she turned around and headed back for the door, grabbing the handle and turning it to find out it was locked.

"What kind of sick joke is this Henry!" Shrieked Bridgette as she turned around to death glare Henry, feeling the fear now starting to consume her inside.

"Look this isn't a joke Bridgette... something isn't right here..." Snapped Henry as he trailed off at the end, hearing a slight clang of metal with the studio.

Making both of them look at the origin of the sound. Bridgette jumped back slightly and gripped Henry's shoulder, looking over it with a slight shiver.

"Come on... stay behind me" Said Henry as he started to edge his way into the studio, with Bridgette right behind him not leaving his side.

As they walked through the halls they could see all words scrawled on the walls.

"Dreams Do Come True"

"They Will Set Us Free"

"The Girl Walks With The Demon"

"The Girl Walks With The Demon... who the hell are they talking about?" Muttered Henry as he and Bridgette walked passed the walls, still hearing the clanking of metal getting louder.

"How the hell did you used to work in here" Questioned Bridgette as she kept looking from side to side like a scared cat, not wanting to be in the place another second.

"It wasn't like this when I used to be here" Replied Henry as he peaked around a corner, seeing a large empty room just ahead of them.

"Stay here for a moment... I just wanna check something out" Said Henry as curiosity got the better of him, feeling a urge to take a look at the so empty room.

Slowly he walked down the hall, strolling like it was just an ordinary day back at the studio. Hearing the clanking of metal getting louder and louder. The footsteps now faded in the desolate studio.

"What the Hell have you been doing Joey Drew" Mumbled Henry as he stepped into the large room, looking how grand and how empty it was didn't make sense.

Seeing that he was standing on a Balcony over looking a dark inky pit just ahead of him. With six pedestals on the balcony with him. Three on either side with pictures attached to each one. Turning his gaze to the other side he noticed a power pack which was turned off. Noticing a book wide open on top of it, with pieces of paper thrown about the floor.

Kneeling down on the floor he picked up the pieces of paper. Grabbing the book and placing them inside. Taking a gander through the pages of the book. Seeing notes and detailed drawings of procedures and different mechanical engineering notes. Flicking through Henry found a section marked "Ink Machine". Then seeing what it was supposed to do and how it was to be built and activated.

Standing up he looked around at the pedestals, noticing each one had their respective objects on the floor by it. Then looking back down at the notebook to see what the pedestals were meant to do.

"Who the hell would even create something so complicated... and yet is so brilliantly crafted at the same time" Muttered Henry as he bent down and picked up a stuffed Bendy, giving it a slight squeak as he placed it on the pedistal.

Suddenly a light lit up above the pedestal, displaying the new object positioned on it.

"Henry! What the Hell is taking you so long" Shouted Bridgette as she stormed down the hallways, standing just in the doorway to the room looking like she was about to explode.

"Nothing... I was just... looking at this" Stuttered Henry as he turned the book for Bridgette to look at, he could already tell that she wasn't that happy being here.

"Ink Machine... What am I looking at?" Questioned Bridgette as she looked at Henry, noticing that Henry had moved away and was putting the things on the pedistal.

"I don't know... but that book has something to do with this room..." Said Henry as he put the record on the pedistal, walking over to the lever by the door and noticed a flashing sign.

"Low Ink Pressure"

"Pass the book here for a second" Asked Henry as he took the book and flicked through the pages, finding out how to increase the pressure of the ink.

"Come on... I'm getting this thing fired up" Stated Henry as he closed the book and out it in his bag, walking off into the studio with Bridgette just behind him.

After a while of walking around they found the room with the Ink Pressure Valves. Turning them and seeing a button start to flash on the wall. Hitting the button they could hear the ink flowing through the pipes. Some of them leaking and others sturdy like rocks.

"Let's see if this Ink Machine will fire up now" Said Henry as they strolled out of the room, and headed back towards the Ink Machine Room.

At the end of the corridor they could see the room now bored up. Both of them looking at each other confised then getting suspicious.

"Stay here... I'll check it out" Said Henry as he walked up to the boards, seeing chains decending into the ink square.

Lost in such a daze looking about. Suddenly an arm reached out and grabbed Henry's shoulder. Making him look up in horror at another face. Horns pointed, face covered in ink, smile still demonic. It was Bendy...

Making Henry and Bridgette scream as Bendy threw Henry back slightly. Hearing screams as more and more pipes started to burst. Quickly Henry got up and ran towards Bridgette. Grabbing her hand as they made a mad dash to the exit. Ink pouring through the walls and starting to fill up the halls.

Seeing the exit door just in sight they picked up the pace. Only to fall through the floor into the depths of darkness...
