A young, yet mature, voice says, with hints of a Southern accent mixed with an Australian accent... ... It was 2010, 30 years after Joey Drew of Sillyvision Studios shut down the studio. Sillyvision Studios has been abandoned by Joey Drew and the animation crew... ... except for the main stars themselves. Currently, Bendy, the star of Sillyvision Studios himself, otherwise known as the Dancing Demon or the "Little Devil Darlin'", was attempting to bring his friends back to life using his own ink and the Ink Machine. The Ink Machine, made by Joey Drew himself, helped to create Bendy and his friends using ink. No-one but Joey himself knows how it was made, however. All that's known about it is that it can create living creatures of ink... ... and that was why Bendy was using it to bring his friends, Boris the Wolf and Alice Angel, from the dead. Boris the Wolf was a cartoon wolf made of ink, being twice as tall as Bendy, who was only 2 1/2 feet tall. Unfortunately, Joey had conducted experiments on him and Bendy, with Boris dying at the hands of Joey in one of his mad experiments. Bendy, angry and blinded with rage, attempted to get revenge on Joey, after finding out about Boris's death... and he succeeded. Alice Angel, was forgotten by Joey (but not Bendy), but Bendy knew she wasn't gone, as he, after killing Joey, found a puddle of ink with a golden halo resting in it, deep in the bowels of the studio, with the puddle being in the center of a large pentagram, with an axe nearby, the blade covered in dried ink. After collecting their ink and their bodies, Bendy began the slow process of bringing them back to life. Bendy then went and flipped the switch for the pump controls, sending ink into the Ink Machine, before the quickly ran back to the room where the Ink Machine was located. Boris was on the ground, with the puddle that was Alice Angel sitting next to him, as both had ink pumped into them, before Bendy got a knife out and cut his left hand off, howling in pain, as ink sprayed from his arm and onto Boris and Alice. Hours passed, and just as Bendy thought he did it all for nothing, Boris's chest slowly began to heal, patching back up, his organs slowly reappearing. The puddle that was Alice Angel slowly began to ripple, before it began to move, shaping and forming into Alice's body. Bendy smiled wide, as he thought 'It... It's working... IT'S WORKING!" Bendy then yelled at the top of his inky lungs, happily, "I DID IT!!!!!" Suddenly, Boris's eyes snapped open, as he screamed in pain, with a Southern drawl, "MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS HOLY-!", sitting up in pain as he clutched his chest. Bendy rushed over to Boris, keeping his left arm over Alice, as he said "Boris! Breathe!" Boris coughed violently, as Bendy pounded against Boris's back, helping Boris breathe... Boris slowly began to breathe, as Bendy said "Boris, are you alright?" "I... What... What happened, Bendy?" Boris said, clutching his chest, still in pain, but not as much pain, now. "Boris, what was the last thing you remember before waking up?" Bendy asking, putting his right hand on Boris's shoulder. "I... I remember... Joey. He said he had a favor to ask, as we were playing and goofing around. He said he needed my help with something in the back, and when I followed him, I felt a sharp pain in my head and... that's all." He said, before he turned his head to Bendy, only for his eyes to bulge out of his head cartoonishly at the sight of Bendy's missing hand, his arm bleeding. "BENDY, WHAT IN THE SAM HELL DID YOU DO TO YOURSELF!?", grabbing Bendy's arm in shock, making Bendy yelp and fall. "Boris, let go!" Bendy yelled, making Boris let go, as Bendy kept his arm near Alice, who Boris quickly noticed. "Bendy... what... what happened?" Boris said, scared and confused. Bendy sighed, frowning, a first, since Bendy always had an ever present grin on his face, before he said "Boris... I'll explain once Alice is back." Not a minute later, Alice woke up, sweating ink and breathing heavily, in pain, as Boris held her, with Bendy calming her down. When she regained her focus, she noticed Bendy's arm and gasped, before Bendy said "It's alright, it's alright.", before Bendy wrapped his arm up in some old bandages, as Bendy said "See?" They then noticed Bendy's cut off left hand, before Bendy quickly threw it up and threw it out of sight, smiling sheepishly. Alice then groaned, as she said, with a posh, English-American accent, "Bendy... what happened here? Why did you cut off your hand?", as she slowly became fearful. Bendy sighed and frowned again, before he said "Joey... killed you both." This made their eyes widen in shock, before Boris said "Joey... k-killed us!?" "But, we're right here! How could we have died when we're alive right now!?" Alice said, as Boris helped her stand up. "I had to revive you guys using the Ink Machine and my ink. Boris, you died because Joey experimented on us both, before he cut you open and took your organs out.", making Boris hold his hand to his mouth, trying to keep the inky puke down, before Bendy added "And Alice, I don't know how you died, specifically, but I do know you died to someone holding an axe, as I found your halo in an inky puddle that was originally YOU.", making Alice hold her hand over her mouth, before she ran over to a nearby trash can and vomited... ... Bendy sighed and said "Joey... is dead, though. I... killed him.", making Boris vomit. "You WHAT!?" Alice yelled, walking away from the trash can, stomping up to Bendy... ... Bendy sighed and said "Go ahead, punch me. I don't care. All I cared about was bringing my friends back from the dead.", as he held his hand and arm up and walked out of the room. Alice huffed, as Boris panted and said "Alice... do you think..." She sighed and said, her angry expression turning to a meaningful frown, "I think so... for now... lets get this place cleaned up. It's the best we can do for him bringing us back.", as Boris nodded and began cleaning up, turning the machine off...
