Midnight, 9:00 p.m, 2018..

Joey Drew Studios...

(Henry's POV)

The Studio stood there at the end of the street like an building that time forgot, I stood there in front of the run down place just remembering the old times that I had here.

It filled me with dread and fear for I haven't been nor see my best friend Joey Drew for 30 years not to mention my old co-workers. I looked at the letter that Joey sent me in the mail.

He said he wants to show me something but what? I'd figure that's not the case now, for I am now entering a world of no return ever. As I was going to open the door, I thought "I'm going to have an migrine after this, even if it kills me."

And just i opened the door, I said "Yup, I'm so going to have nightmares after this"

The place looks like the house from that horror film i'd watch before i got here two months ago.

The inside of the building was all I believe it will be after 30 years, The hallway was all decay and kinda old and filled with the posters of cartoons i work on about a character named Bendy and patches of ink which is very odd to me because I'd never seen something like this at my new work except for here.

"Ok Joey, I'm here, Now Let's see what you want me to see"

So I went inside, and I see that this place has just got completely worse since I'd left here.

The room that i'm in was an complete mess, there were papers scattered in some places, ink in places like the walls, and an projecter was playing with no footage nor the music was not good then i saw an cutboard of an cartoon black and white demon with an white bowtie on its neck, white gloves, and it had an very creepy smile on its face. I was getting creeped out but still, It's just my mind playing me.

As i kept exploring the old workshop, I came across my old workplace "Well I'll be, I used to work here, I so wasted so much of my time on that chair"

the table was an mess, papers were on the floor, the only paper on that table was an small picture of a cartoon I'd know for an long time having an small mouth opened and an sticky note saying NO on it.

I'd remember drawing that picture for an expression sheet for the demon but my boss Joey doesn't want Bendy not having an really cute face, just an normal look with a smile but he really want him to have facial movements. After that, i went exploring to other rooms then i came across an recorder and i was curious about it. I press play on it and an voice of someone i once knew starts talking and then i realized that i know that voice!

It was the janitor who used to worked here, Wally Franks!

The voice log then said :

"At this point, i don't get what Joey's plan is for this company. The animations were not getting finished on time anymore. And i certainly don't see why we need this machine!?

It's noisy! It's messy! And who needs that much ink anyway?! Also, get this! Joey then had us donate something from our work station! We put them on these little pedestals in the break room. "To appease the gods" Joey says. Keeps things going, he says.

Well, let me tell you this, i think he's lost his mind…..but hey! At least, he does the checks! BUT I'd tell you what! If one more of these pipes burst again, I'm outta here!"

Then the recording ended and i said to myself " Wow, I know Wally is known for complaining to himself but seriously!" But hey, at least he's been good to you...i then sighed and then suddenly, i found myself in an room with an huge machine with a huge bottle of ink in the middle!

"So..this is the ink machine, wonder how to turn it on?" I said to myself.

The truth is, I've been wondering about this thing since Joey first introduce it to us on the grand opening long ago.

But thanks to Wally's advice, I actually kinda knew what to do but i just need to know where to find them..

(Sonic's POV)

I was only two blocks when i was following the directions on the letter in my hand
