I Am Me

You can sing it right, but there's no more symphony!

Day 4

As the gang were getting ready to fight Bendy again, they heard something in another room. Boris walked over and found a key an audio log... with 5 messages. Throughout his journey, he has found 5 messages from a familiar-sounding person.

I don't know why I'm even recording this... but I don't know what else to do. Please... whoever you may be... I need your help. My name is Milla. Several days ago, I got lost on in this... terrible place. There are monsters here. Things I... can't even describe... they're all trying to kill me. I can hear them outside. Please look for my messages. Please... come find me...

My father was a butcher (rest his soul). My mother and I had only each other while I was growing up. She taught me how to be resilient. Strong. But now... I am afraid... afraid of that... demon outside of my door. I saw so many things dismembered in my father's butcher shop. I'm... having images of myself ending up as they did. Their bodies broken and pulled apart... please... please come find me...

I don't know how much longer I can stay alive. I like to pretend someone is coming for me. At any moment, someone will open this door and save me from this suffering. If a hero exists... no matter what size or shape they may take... now is the time. Please come find me...

I am not one to lie. I don't like when people lie to me. My mother always told me "Honesty, Milla. Always honesty. Be bright and... and smile wide! Good things will come...". But I can see the world is a cruel place. I want to shine, but... it's so dark. Hope is fading down here. The monsters are closing in. Please come find me...

There isn't much time... if you found my messages, here is my last one. So this is my final plea: "If there is anyone out there, if there's any good left in this world... look for my hidden key... and then find my door. Please come find me... before it's too late... sincerely, Milla Legna".

He unlocked the door... and Twisted Alice leaped out of her dungeon and tackled him. "GOTCHA!", she bellowed. Suddenly, Fluttershy opened fire on the villainess. "What the hell? Who the hell are you?!"

"Your end", Fluttershy answered. Sammy whacked Alice with his axe, sending the Fallen Angel flying. She retreated into her dungeon, but all four heroes followed her. Fortunately, there were items in the dungeon... and possibly a Safehouse Scrap. "Spread out! If you find Alice, unleash everything you've got!" The foursome ran off in different directions. Fluttershy found a radio and a book, the Patron found a bone and a wrench, and Sammy found a gear and a plunger. Boris, however, was busy fighting Alice, who wielded an axe. The two dueled with their weapons.

"You can't escape me! Your organs belong to me!", Alice shouted. She kicked the Gent Pipe out of Boris's grasp, but the Patron joined the fight with an ink sword. "I'm SERIOUSLY getting tired of you meddling heroes! Why can't you ever just die?!" She knocked the Patron out. She prepared to finish Boris off, but before she could strike the wolf, the ink sword is impaled through her chest. Fluttershy is holding the sword. "You think ink can kill me?!" She knocked Fluttershy out. Sammy ran into the room (with a Safehouse Scrap) and scooped Fluttershy into his arms. Boris scooped the Patron into his arms and grabbed the Gent Pipe and Tommy Gun.

"Sheep, sheep, sheep! It's time for sleep!", Boris howled as he and Sammy ran through the door and barricaded it. Alice banged on the door.

"Next time, you'll be mine!", Alice shouted. Sammy put the Safehouse Scrap up on the wall.

He played the song on the radio, waking Fluttershy and the Patron up.

"I don't think I've ever seen Bendy... frown in any of his posters... other than Demonic Tonic", Sammy said.

"Well, when I put the pieces together, I used three different posters: Sheep Songs!, The Dancing Demon, and Sent From Above", Boris explained. "Anyways, we've found four Safehouse Scraps. That leaves three more." Suddenly, three strange-looking ink creatures appeared from the other dungeon.

"Blah blah blah blah blah BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!", one said.

Another one swung his head around like a tetherball.

"Hit me, HIT ME!", the third one said.

"The Butcher Gang, Bendy's arch-nemeses. The one with the pipe wrench is Piper, a twisted version of Charley. The one with the wrench is Fisher, a twisted version of Barley with Edgar's head on a fishing pole instead of a neck. Hmm, go figure. The third one is Striker, a twisted version of Edgar with Barley's maimed head instead of his own", Sammy explained. "They speak in extreme gibberish, though they can speak English."

"How did the Butcher Gang get here in the first place?", Fluttershy asked. Striker had a piece of paper from the dungeon. He gave it to Fluttershy. It was a message from the Joey Drew Studios Inc. team. giving the world some hope and encouragement to remain safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

No matter how scary some things may get. All things can pass and hope always endures. With this update for Boris and the Dark Survival, all of us at the studio wish the world strength, courage, health, and full hearts. We can solve so much if we all work together.

"Uh... I might've accidentally found 5 padlock keys and unleashed them", Boris answered in nervousness. The Butcher Gang slinked away... into the elevator. The foursome heard the elevator leave.

"Dumbass! Now those things are out there, just waiting to put their hands on us!", Fluttershy angrily yelled at Boris. "And what the hell is this letter?!"

"Um... there's a virus in the world called the Coronavirus, and this pandemic is nicknamed COVID-19. Don't worry. You're safe in the studio", Sammy answered.
