"Holy Celestia." Falcon stated as he walked into the inky room. That same whiff from before just hit him again. He came across a short path leading to another open passage across the room. "Boris stay here I need to figure out what's going on."
Falcon walked on the short catwalk passing more Borises and butcher gang cadavers. All was quiet and eerie. Until she started talking again.
It took so many of them to make me beautiful. So much work just for this. But I had to do it. She made me.
"What?" Falcon asked himself. He came across another recording on a small island. "Why would everyone need to record something?"
Voice of Susie Campbell:
Who would have thought? Me having lunch with Joey Drew! Apparently times are tougher than I thought.
For a moment there, I thought I’d be stuck with the check.
But I gotta say, he wasn’t at all what I expected.
Quite the charmer.
He even called me Alice.
I liked it.
"Jeez Joey, your wife must not be happy with you." Falcon stated. When he reached the edge he came into a room with the sound of garbled agony. There was Angel with Charlie on a board being electrocuted.
"Now it comes to this question. Do I kill you? Do I rip you apart to my hearts delight? Take this... abomination for example. He walked into my domain without MY permission. One touch could've sent me back!"
"Um... back where Angel?"
"Wha- th- you IDIOT! The INK PUDDLES YOU MORON! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE! IT'S NOTHING BUT A SCREAMING WELL OF VOICES! YOUR MIND SWIMMING LIKE... LIKE FISH IN A BOWL! The first time I emerged from its womb, I was a pussing, shapeless slug!"
"So you were-"
"DON'T FINISH THAT SENTENCE IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!" Angel yelled. "MAYBE I SHOULD KILL YOU!"
"NO! Please! I-I just want to go home with my friends!"
"Oh? Well, I could let you ascend, buuuuuuuut...."
"Please Angel! I'll do anything!" Falcon exclaimed.
"Very well. But one quick question...." Alice said.
"And that is?" Falcon questioned.
"May I call you, my errand boy?"
Alright I know that people don't want the whole going around doing chores part so i'll skip to the projectionist."
"Fal, I still can't believe she gave you a tommy gun!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Take it easy! I won't shoot any of you! Besides, it shoots ink, it's utterly useless." Fall replied.
As the group of eight traveled down Rarity started up another conversation. "What do you think she meant by "Old friend?"" Rarity asked doing quotations with her hooves.
"All I know Rarity, is that it can't mean anything good." As the lift stopped, Alice spoke once more.
"Shhhhhh. There he is. The projectionist. Stay out of his light guys. You won't want to know what happens if yo do. she giggled seductively. "Your job is easy. Collect five ink hearts." Fluttershy cowered along with Pinkie and Boris.
"Uh, you guys stay here. I'm gonna get a closer look. Girls stay behind me." Falcon said as he, Twilight, Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow started forward.
"Who is that guy with the weird head?" AJ asked. her question was soon answered with the click of a recorder.
Voice of Norman Polk:
Now I’m not looking for trouble. It’s just the nature of us projectionists to seek out dark places.
You see, I’ve learned the ins and outs of this here studio. I know how to avoid being bothered by the likes of this… company.
The projectionist, they always say, creeping around, he’s just lookin for trouble. Well trouble or not, I sees everything. They don’t even know when I’m watchin’.
Even when I’m right behind’em.
"That thing is Norman." Falcon said. The girls all gasped staring at the abomination walking down the corridors. They grew even more surprised when they saw Falcon walking right towards it.
"Woah woah woah!" Rainbow exclaimed. "Look Fal, you got guts and we respect you for that, but we don't really expect to see those guts strung against a wall!"
"Relax Rainbow! It's Norman! He and I go way back." Falcon replied.
"So did you and Sammy!" Twilight added. "And you saw him upstairs!"
"Actually, I only met him once." Falcon lied. He swore he felt AJ's glare burning a hole into the back of his head.
"Ya know what Fal, I've had enough of these lies!" She yelled.
"AJ! Quiet down!" Fal exclaimed.
"No! You've been lyin to us ever since we got here! I want the truth now!" she yelled back.
"Um, AJ..." Rainbow Started.
"Not now Rainbow!" she yelled back.
"Darling! Don't. Move." Rarity exclaimed.
"Wh-" She started before she was hit in the back of the head. She fell into the ink face first creating bubbles as she slowly drowned.
"FLIP HER OVER FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE!" Falcon yelled, dodging Norman's swings as he said so. "Norman stop! This isn't you!" Fal said holding up the gun. "I mean it!" Then Norman stopped and tilted his head. Er, Camera. (Looks at script.)
"[b][i][u]Fal. Con?[/u][/i][/b]" Norman asked.
"Norman!" Falcon yelled as he embraced his old friend. It was a happy moment. Until Rainbow smashed a pipe into his head. with a shriek, he was gone.
"What did you do that for?! I was getting through to him!"
"He knocked out AJ! He doesn't have a speck of good in him!" She yelled back.
"Guys forget it!" Boris yelled as he came running in. "C'mon let's get those hearts." After finding the hearts in the hands of fallen enemies (Jesus that sounded harsh.) the went back to the lift and back to level nine.
"Let's finish this." Fal said. "I promise that after all of this is over, I will give you all a proper explanation." After placing the hearts in the bin and walking back to the lift, Falcon felt off. He realized this feeling was familiar. It was the same feeling he felt when Bendy was near. He looked up and saw the demon pounce!
"AAAAUGH!" Falcon yelled.
"Falcon!" The girls all yelled. They ran and tried to pull Bendy off of him.
"[b]I TOLD YOU I'D GET YOU YOU TRAITOR![/b]" Bendy yelled. But before Bendy grabbed at his heart, Fal pulled up a loose board and whacked Bendy in the head. At that moment, he knew for sure he saw a human head.
"Twi! Boris! Put him onto the lift! We'll drop him off at level K! You all stay here!" Falcon yelled as they pulled the ink demon onto the lift. The doors closed automatically however. And without any warning, it dropped. Before they left the floor, they heard the screams of the girls.
"Did you really think I would let you go?! After what you did?! NO WAY! I know who you are CREATOR! Now bring me back MY BORIS! Or even better, I'll TAKE him! Once, you're DEAD!" Bendy quickly teleported away as the lift crashed.
Falcon awoke. If not only for a moment. He felt Twilight's soft coat next to him on the pile of debris. He was being shaken by a friend in wolf's clothing. A figure quietly came up behind that friend. Dragging him away into the darkness.
