The Descension Of Alice Angel!

By: RisingGear

[1938 - Drew studios - New York City]

Henry was a young artist working on Bendy The Dancing Demon. A popular cartoon made by his hero the great Joey Drew. One day Henry was finishing up work on a new character commissioned by Joey himself, Alice Angel. She is made as a counterpoint to Bendy and his love interest. Henry made her to be as cute as possible but he might have overdid it on her legs. She also has long wavy black hair, full lips with black lipstick. It took 6 weeks to get her right at last.

:Henry: "Done at last and Miss Angel I must say you are looking divine if I say so myself!"

[Joey Drew approaches his desk] "Aw Mr. Drew perfect timing! I just finished the designs for Alice."

:Joey: "Fantastic work my boy! She is absolutely radiant and her flirty expression was a nice touch."

:Henry: Yeah I'm proud of my ... Wait what? Henry looks down at the drawing of Alice to see it changed to her blowing a kiss at him and winking. Henry is understandably surprised but brushes it off as nothing. "Act calm! Can't have people thinking you're crazy now right!" Joey places a hand on his shoulder with a sullen face.

:Joey: "Henry my boy can we talk in private?"

:Henry: "Sure thing Mr. Drew!" Henry follows his boss into the next room. Something about Mr. Drew's body language doesn't seem right. :Henry: "Is something wrong sir?"

:Joey: "This ... is not going to be easy but I have to let you go son!"

:Henry: "Sir?!"

:Joey: "I got a tip that you're not as old as you said, you're 17!"Henry looks completely god smacked by this. He tries to say something in his defence but he can't think of anything that does not sound like an excuse. :Joey: "Look I like you kid, so if you just leave now I won't get the law involved! Also nobody has to know a thing."

:Henry: "I just wanted to be like you! You're my hero sir!"

:Joey: "Like I've said this is hard on me too my boy! But if you work hard like you do now, you'll be a great Cartoonist like me one day! You're already a very talented young man so I have the utmost confidence in your success."

:Henry: "Well it has been an honor sir!"

:Joey: "Likewise sport!" The two shake hands, Henry returns to his desk to pack up his things. The kid is holding back tears. As he is about to take Alice with him but Joey puts his hand on the paper. :Joey: "I'm afraid that is Drew studios property."

:Henry: "I understand, take good care of her!"

:Joey: "I promise I will."

:Henry: "Well Miss Angel looks like this is goodbye! You are my favorite creation! I just know everyone will just love you!" As Henry leaves the building, The Alice drawing changes again. She is on her knees reaching out to him with her hand over her mouth. A speech bubble appears; don't leave ...Please! I Love you!

[1968 - Henry's estate manor]

30 years have passed since that day. Henry is now a respected Animator with a studio of his own in California. His mascot is Maxis Mongoose and even has a theme park. Despite being 47 he barely aged at all in 30 years. He did however gain muscle and isn't the same lanky teenager. However he never stopped looking back at his days at Drew studios and still watches old Bendy cartoons on a projector screen. His butler Codsworth gives him the mail. A letter from his old hero Joey Drew. Nobody has heard from him in years. Happy to hear from his idle after all this time he grabs it.

:Henry: "Thank you Codsworth that will be all."

:Codsworth: "Very good sir."

:Henry: "I wonder what he wants? He has got to be in his 80's by now!" [opens and reads the letter]

Dear Henry it seems like a lifetime since we worked on cartoons together. 30 years really slips away. Doesn't it? If you're back in town, Come visit the old workshop. There's something I need to show you.

Your Best Pal,

Joey Drew.

:Henry: "Odd he never addressed me as his Best Pal before. Is he going senile in his old age? Why would I go to the old studio anyway, It's been closed for years? Perhaps I should call to see if he's ok!"

He walks over to his phone to do just that. He hasn't said a word to his mentor since he got fired.

:Henry: [apprehension in his voice] "Good thing I still remember the old number![Calls but nothing] Damn it all!" [enters different number]

:Woman: [board tone] "Yes Henry?"

:Henry: "Vivienne what's my schedule look like?"

:Vivienne: "Ask your secretary! But please go ahead and reunite with your best Pal JoJo."

:Henry: "How do you do that?"

:Vivienne: "Do what?"

:Henry: "Know what I'm saying before I say it?"

:Vivienne: "Call it a woman's intuition. At any rate go. I'll hold the fort but do me a favor and ... stay safe!" [she hangs up on him]

:Henry: "Typical Vivienne! Why did I hire a woman obsessed with Ravens to be my partner again?"

He looks at a framed newspaper article titled Raven-Gate studios Taking over Hollywood. :Henry: "Oh That's why. [chuckle] That and the divorce."

[Drew Studio - A week later]

After a long flight back to New York, Henry can only look at it with shame. The dilapidated front of his old workplace makes him feel sorry for his old hero. He see's the Condemned sign in the window. He knocks on the dusty old door to find it's not even locked. As he opens the door a huge wave of dust hits him in the face. He actually went to Joey's house first but a family of four was living in it.

:Henry: [cough] "Mr. Drew what the actual hell!? I'm really grateful in hindsight you fired me! Now time to see what you gotta show me." The inside is even more rundown and dirty then the outside. Old posters from the many Cartoons the company made over the years are scattered around the walls. Some of them he helped make when he worked here. :Henry: "Maybe I'll take one of these after I leave. [slides a finger on a dusty table] What happened to you Mr. Drew?"

[Drew Studio - ?]

In what appears to be a dressing room; but why a animation studio would have a dressing room is anyone's guess. Not much light in the room but a female figure is brushing her hair. She is sitting at the make up table facing the mirror. An insane smile appears on her face and black tears running down her face.:woman: "oh joy he's here! "She starts laughing in a sweet yet soft voice before slowly turning into a deeper demonic roar. Her hands turn into razor sharp claws. She claws a Bendy poster to shreds seemingly out of spite. :Woman: "Now to take what is rightfully [demonic voice] MINE!"

[Main room]

Henry looks around the old place with nostalgia, but also disgust. The studio has deteriorated this badly. He comes across the Ink machine, likely the nerve center of the whole ink Pipeline that seems to have been added after he left. Being the owner of a successful animation studio he knows this thing ... Is just plain awful. :Henry: "Sure having a lot of ink is neat and all but this thing is just asking for trouble! Mr. Drew just what the devil were you doing with this impractical monstrosity!?" [hears a loud roar making him jump] "The fuck was that?!" He walks out of the room and into another to find a grizzly yet unexpected sight. Bendy's co-star Boris The Wolf strapped to a table dead ... somehow! His ribcage torn apart with his guts just gone. The Who's Laughing NOW?! Written on the wall next to the body still dripping as if it was fresh! This is Henry's first time seeing a dead body, cartoon or otherwise. He nearly throws up a little in his mouth.

:Henry: [Utterly horrified] "Oh my god ... Boris!? How!? Why!? I'll let myself out!" Henry, terrified by the gruesome sight slowly backs away from the room before turning around and knocking over a cardboard stand of Bendy that wasn't there before. Henry makes it back to the front door only to see it barricaded by barrels, chairs and tables. A Bendy stand is in front of it. He turns around to find You're not going anywhere! written on the wall in fresh ink. :Henry: "WHO'S IN HERE WITH ME?! SHOW YOURSELF!"

He doesn't get a response out of who or what is stalking him. Henry is now on high alert just waiting for something to jump out at him. He walks into a room with nine pedestals and framed pictures behind them of random objects he has seen all over.

:Henry: "Shot in the dark this turns on the ink thing. Fuck that shit with an iron pole! I'm out of here! Maybe a fire exit is unlocked? Knock on wood!" After he finds the back door he finds it locked by some kind of ink powered mechanism. Frustrated Henry tries to kick the door down but no luck.

:Henry: "I just had to open my fucking mouth! Now I got a god damn scavenger hunt to perform for a possibly unholy machine! I mean ... yeah that or I'm going crazy! but Boris He looked so real!"

After finding all the items and putting them in the proper place and about to pull the lever. Henry really has a hard time convincing himself that this is a smart decision. :Henry: "This is going to suck isn't it!?" [pulls lever]

The hum of the machinery makes it clear the ink is flowing again and the back door unlocked. The lights get brighter as well, though, how an abandoned studio still has working electricity is anyone's guess.

:Henry: "Au revoir Drew Studios! I would say this blast from the past was pleasant but no not really! I still don't know what happened to Mr. Drew but I'm not foolish enough to stay in this place any longer then I have to!" Henry walks past the Ink machine which is now boarded up. Henry takes a closer look against his better judgment. A monster Bendy suddenly appears behind the boards. It seems like it is in a constant state of melting and solidification. Its body looks more like a realistic humanoid compared to the cartoon Bendy. It reaches out to grab Henry but as soon as he sees this monster he runs. The walls and floor slowly become coated in ink as he is running away! Henry can hear Bendy's unholy roar getting closer and closer. :Henry:"FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK! [Falls into trap-door] SON OF A BITCH!"

[?]

Henry falls down a half a story drop but a web made of ink breaks the fall. Good thing to because a fall like that could have seriously hurt him. :Henry: "Please tell me I'm not about to be eaten by a cartoon spider!"

:Woman:"Oh my stars you're ok! I've waited all these years! Henry is that really you?!"

:Henry: "Susie?"

:Woman: "No honey but it has been a long time. You look Divine by the way!"

:Henry: "Divine? [Light Bulb] A ... Alice?!" A woman steps out into the light and it is indeed his old creation Alice Angel. The ink web that saved him from possible injury releases him. Alice is overjoyed by the return of her beloved creator as she jumps into his arms weeping tears of joy.

:Henry: "Ok at least some good came out of this trip." [hugs her back]

:Alice: "You're not even surprised I am off the page?"

:Henry: "Between Bendy and the dead body of Boris up topside the surprise is kind of spoiled."

:Alice: "BORIS IS DEAD!? Then He must have done it, that monster! [sobbing] I've wanted you back so badly but now that you're here I've got to get you out!"

:Henry: "What the hell is going on here Alice?"

:Alice: "I'm just as clueless as you. One minute I'm a drawing on a sheet of paper the next I'm alive for real!"

:Henry: "You know, now I'm starting to see I wasn't crazy when you moved around on the paper when I wasn't looking! How is all of this even happening? The Ink machine?"

:Alice: "Yes but we don't have much time! Bendy will find us if we don't move now!"

:Henry: "Right sorry!"

:Alice: "First a reunion present!" [She grabs him by his suit] Alice pulls him close and kisses him with a passionate embrace that takes him by surprise. The horned angle even moans as her tongue explores his mouth. Henry is understandably shocked and confused this is even happening, but kind of wishes her mouth did not taste like ink. The two separate with his drool mixed with her black ink. Henry's lips are slightly stained black by Alice's. :Alice: "I've REALLY wanted to do that for years! but seriously if Bendy finds us he will kill us both!" [Grabs a fire ax off the wall and gives it to Henry] Henry knocks the boards off the only door in the entire room. Henry and Alice walk into another room with coffins and a satanic pentagram. Candles forming around the circle are the only source of light in the entire room. Alice actually seems afraid of it so she starts holding onto Henry's hand tightly.

:Henry: "Joey what the fuck are you even doing in here?!"

:Alice: "Stay behind me! It's only going to get worse up ahead!"

:Henry: "Great ... no really just outstanding!"

:Alice: "Don't be afraid this Angel of mercy will be protecting you!" [Cute giggle with fangs showing]
