The trio leaped down and all wielded their weapons. The Projectionist assumed a battle-ready stance. Daniel whacked the villain with the Gent Pipe, which did little damage. The annoyed Projectionist attempted to punch the corrupted teenager, but Sammy whacked the villain with his axe, which did much more damage. Fluttershy fired a round of bullets, which did half the damage the axe did. "Huh. I thought that would do more damage", Fluttershy said. The Projectionist performed an uppercut on Fluttershy, sending her flying. "Why, you little..." She fired another round of bullets. The Projectionist closed in on Fluttershy.
"Hey!", Daniel shouted. He whacked the Projectionist with the Gent Pipe again. The villain turned to face his former ally. Daniel continued to whack the Projectionist with his Gent Pipe. After eight hits, Daniel was disarmed, but he quickly recovered his weapon. Fluttershy ran and hid in the Little Miracle Station. The Projectionist landed a punch on Daniel. Daniel ran as well. If you get hit by the Projectionist twice, you die. Sammy whacked the villain with his axe. The villain returned the attack with a kick. However, Sammy wouldn't hold back as he whacked the villain three more times. Daniel returned and whacked the villain eight more times with his Gent Pipe, seemingly killing him.
"Well... that escalated quickly", Sammy said. Suddenly, the Projectionist stood up and shrieked. With no other choice, Daniel and Sammy ran.
"MAKE WAY!!!", the duo shouted as they hid in the Little Miracle Station with Fluttershy. The Projectionist was about to open the door, when suddenly, he was interrupted by a bright flash of light, heralding the arrival of...
"MORTAL KOMBAT!!!", Bendy bellowed as he punched the Projectionist. The Projectionist returned with his own punch. Bendy shrugged it off and landed a counterpunch. The Projectionist punched Bendy again before the Ink Demon lifted the Projectionist off his feet and tears off the Projectionist's head, killing him for real. Bendy threw the Projectionist's severed head at the Little Miracle Station. After acknowledging the trio's presence but not having time to eliminate them, Bendy dragged the Projectionist's now headless body away and disappeared with it. The trio wore shocked expressions as Daniel opened the door.
"What... was... that?", Daniel asked.
"I... I think Bendy just... saved us?", Fluttershy quizzically answered.
"Did... did he just shout 'MORTAL KOMBAT!!!'?", Sammy asked.
Back at the Safehouse...
"This doesn't make any sense. Bendy wouldn't do anything like that", Sammy said.
"Well, I guess it makes sense", Daniel replied. "I think he's finally come to his senses. Maybe the personality of Bendy took over."
"No", Fluttershy said. "He wants me. He knew the Projectionist would kill me. Bendy needs my body to escape the studio."
"Then we'll have to fight him", Sammy replied.
"Yeah, but where is he?", Daniel asked.
"He's... above us", Sammy answered. They walked up the stairs heading to the Music Department entrance. "Ah. I've missed this place." They made their way towards the basement. "The foyer is above us, but I don't know how we're gonna get up there."
"Don't you have the ability to pass through inky walls?", Daniel asked.
"Yeah, but you guys don't. We gotta stick together", Sammy answered. Suddenly, the Ink, an unnatural living organism, bonded with Fluttershy. It slithered into Fluttershy's mouth and into the inside of her body. The Ink was now one with her body. She choked on the writhing black liquid.
"I saw that thing with my grandfather", Daniel said. Fluttershy started to... change. Her clothes were ragged. Her fingers turned into claws. Her pony wings became more... bat-like. Her ears became bat ears. Her teeth turned into fangs. Her hair became ruffled. Her skin started to lose its yellowness. Her eyes turned blood red. Once the transformation/hybridization was complete, she didn't resemble any kind of ink creature or anything from the Bendy cartoons. Fluttershy... had turned into... Flutterbat, a vampire bat/human hybrid.
"Huh. I thought the Ink would do something much more dangerous, like turn you into a merciless monster", Sammy said.
"Wow! Look at me! I'm a vampire!", Flutterbat beamed as she flew around the basement. She noticed the Tommy Gun was out of ammunition. "Sammy. Daniel. You two shut down the Ink Machine. I'll fight Bendy."
"Wait. You can fly. Sammy has the ability to pass through inky walls. How will I get out of the basement?", Daniel asked. Flutterbat attempted to lift Daniel, but he was too heavy despite the fact she has increased strength and speed and the ability to use echolocation. "And there's no way in Hell I'll become an ink monster just to get out of here." Flutterbat found an audio log and played it.
It's dark and it's cold and it's stuck in behind every single wall now. In some places, I swear this godforsaken ink is clear up to my knees! Who ever thought that these crummy pipes could hold up under this kind of strain either knows something about pressure I don't, or he's some kind of idiot. But the real worst part about all this... are them noises the system makes. Like a dying dog on its last legs. Make no mistake, this place... this... machine... heck, this whole darn thing... it just isn't natural. You can bet, I won't be doing any more repair jobs for Mister Joey Drew.
Flutterbat tried to lift Daniel again, and this time, she was able to. She broke through the ceiling, which was also the floor for the foyer. Sammy followed using his ability. They made their way to the Ink Machine loading dock. "Alright. The break room is down that hallway. I'll distract Bendy while you two shut down the Ink Machine", Flutterbat said. She flew over to the Ink Machine. Suddenly, the machine started throbbing like a heart. An enormous hand suddenly appeared from the depths below the Ink Machine. Another hand followed. Bendy, now an gargantuan monster standing at a whopping 100 feet tall, looked down at the puny hybrid. He unleashed a mighty roar.
