//------------------------------// // Prologue: Joey's Insanity // Story: Bendy and the Ink Machine: Alternate Story // by FandomPlays1234 //------------------------------// It's a beautiful day in Equestria, everypony was enjoying their morning as usual. Even the princess had today off seeing how they didn't have any remaining paperwork that needed attention. Meanwhile in Joey Drew Studios the creator sat in the heart of the workshop furious as ever. Recently the local T.V. station had once again rejected his work for so called "plagiarism" "This is outrageous how is Bendy considered plagiarism!?" Joey screamed throwing his drawings off his desk. He put his hooves on his face as he slumped down in his chair. "Bendy I'm sorry if only they would understand," said Joey looking up. The small Bendy plush on his desk gave no response and just stared back, the wide grin on his face giving off a comforting yet sinister aura. Joey picked up the plush and stared at it for a moment, "Why can't they give you a chance?" he asked with a sad look. He sighed as he threw the plush in the waste can nearby,"If only there was a way we can prove you're not just some copy of old cartoons," Suddenly Joey froze, he slowly raised his head scratching his chin,"Maybe there IS a way," he quickly picked up the plush and nodded. "Don't worry Bendy I promise you that you'll be the star of this show," Joey jumped up and walked out the door. "You want us to what?" asked one of his employees the next day. "I need each and every one of you to donate something from your workstation," said Joey. "Why for what reason?" asked another employee. "To keep things going of course," answered Joey. "Mr. Drew we get Bendy is important to you and we admire that, but the fact that you have this giant machine just sitting in this studio was bad enough and now you want us to do whatever it is you want us to do," said the employee. "Listen I know the Ink Machine is loud and noisy, but trust me it'll all be worth it in the end," said Joey. The employers just shrugged and nodded,"Whatever you say Mr. Drew," said a third employee. The employees started to walk back to their offices as Joey made his way to the Ink Machine. "Don't worry Bendy those idiots will soon see that it was a mistake rejecting I promise," said Joey running his hand against the machine. Later that day each and every employee placed each of their items on the pedestals in the breaker room and went back to work. Several days has passed and Joey seemed to get crazier every day. Two days since everyone donated their items Joey could be seen in the hallway painting words on the walls with black paint. Things like "Dreams come true" and "Who's Laughing Now," would be seen dripping in black paint on the walls. "Hey Henry is it just me or have you noticed Mr. Drew's strange behavior lately?" asked one of the employees. "No Wally you're not crazy," answered Henry. "Yeah that's what I thought so it's just Mr. Drew that's going insane," said Wally. "I think so too I tried talking to him but he seemed so focused on his work he doesn't even come out of his office anymore," said Henry. Meanwhile, Joey sat in his office drawing character designs for Bendy. "So close yet so far," said Joey. Joey sat up as a knock on his door distracted him. "Come in," he said. The door opened just as middle aged man wearing a brown suit and pants, his black hair was covered with small drops of ink. "Sammy is something wrong?" asked Joey. "Joey listen many of us is worried about you," said Sammy. "I understand Sammy but I have to get this done," said Joey. "Joey you've been locked up in here and barely took a single step out of here anymore," said Sammy. "Listen Sammy if you're here to bother me then just leave," said Joey. "Joey listen to me everyone isn't planning to work for someone who doesn't even get out of his office, they're quitting and leaving the studio," said Sammy. "Then they're traitors," said Joey. "Joey ever since we donated our items you haven't been the same," said Sammy. "Sammy please understand, Bendy is like a son to me I can't just let him die," said Joey. "Um Sammy can I talk to Joey for a moment?" a voice asked. Sammy turned around to see Henry standing behind him,"Make it quick," said Sammy. "Joey," said Henry. "What is it Henry?" asked Joey. "Listen everyone is planning to leave the company and well I've been thinking on it lately and well I've decided that I might as well quit me job as well," said Henry. "What?" both Sammy and Joey asked in unison. "It's just well it's not like I hate this job I don't, it's just that I decided it might be time to move on," said Henry. "Henry not you too," said Joey. "I'm sorry Joey, but no T.V. station is going to accept Bendy you might as well just give up," said Henry. "Don't you say that!" screamed Joey. "Joey I'm sorry but I'm just warning you, if you keep going the way you are now, it's only going to get worse in the future," said Henry. "Forget it, I've worked all my life to bring him to life, I'm not going back now," said Joey turning his attention his Bendy drawings. "Joey your my friend and that's why I'm telling you this, I'm doing this for your own good," said Henry. Joey went silent for a moment before answering,"Just get out traitor," Henry looked down with a sad look in his eyes,"I'm sorry Henry but you know how Joey is, he's stubborn," said Sammy. "No it's fine I understand," said Henry. The two went silent for a moment before Henry spoke up,"Sammy, do me a favor and look after Joey for me," "I'll hope to see you again in the future," said Sammy shaking his hand. Joey could hear the two's footsteps walk away from his door. "That traitor thinks he's so smart just you wait Henry, once Bendy becomes reality I'll make sure you suffer," said Joey smirking. "Everyone thinks Bendy is just a copy, I'll show them," Joey laughed. "Bendy will become real," He sat up laughing a wide grin forming on his mouth, one similar to the one Bendy had. Bendy was gonna become reality.
