"Henry, go find gears that Alice is asking for, I need to talk to Chica." Roxy said.
"Yes, ma'am." Henry nodded and left the two of them alone.
"R-Roxy, what happened to you?" Chica asked.
"I was cured from Vanny's virus and trying to find a way out of this place." Roxy told her best friend. "Have you seen Gregory?"
Chica tried hard to remember. "Well, I did see him being grabbed by a lady in a black dress and horns."
"That was Alice Angel, she's a mean one." Roxy said.
"Well, who was that man you are here with?" Chica asked. "I don't recall him as a guest of the Mega Pizzaplex."
"That's because he isn't. He used to work here until he left. Apparently his boss, a crazy old man named Joey Drew, tricked him into coming here. William Afton, Vanny's boss, been here before as a small boy." Roxy explained.
"You mean the guy that is causing all the disappearances?" Chica asked.
"Yep, that's the one." Roxy said. "Are you hungry at all?"
Chica perked up and nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, got any pizza?"
"Uh, no, but I do have bacon stew in cans. Want to try?"
Chica nodded and accepted. Roxanne used her sharp claws to open up the can and fed it to her. Chica tasted some and smiled. "Delicious! This could make a good pizza topping! Let's save some and take them back with us."
Henry returned with some gears clutched in his hands. "Good, she's fully functional." Henry said.
Chica smiled, "Hello, sir, what's your name?"
"My name is Henry Stein. I'd shake hands with you, but they are full right now." Henry said. "We need to return this to Alice if we want to get out of here."
"Exactly what I was thinking." Roxanne said as she led the way.
They arrived back at the elevator where Boris was awaiting them. "Why, hello, I'm Chica." she greeted him. "Who are you?" The wolf written something down on a sheet of paper. Chica read, "Hello, my name is Buddy Boris." Chica asked, "Are you accompanying us?" He took the paper from Chica and wrote another message on it. She read, "Yes, but I'm not approaching Alice Angel. I'm staying here by the elevator."
"Buddy Boris is a friend of mine." Henry said. "He's not comfortable around Alice but I don't blame him." Roxy, Chica, and Henry made it back to the deranged angel.
"Ah, that should be plenty, bring them to me." Alice Angel's voice said. Roxanne rolled her eyes and beckoned the two to follow her. "And try not to die on the way back." Roxy, Chica, and Henry made it back and deposited the gears into a metal chute. "Have you seen them; the swollen ones? They are stuffed full of extra thick ink, it makes me sick!"
"I think they're kinda cute." Chica said.
"Shut up!" Alice shouted. Chica looked at Roxy with a horrified look. Roxy casually crossed her arms and nodded in agreement. Alice continued, "And yet, it's the perfect thing for keeping myself together. If you're going to catch them, you're going to have to learn to move quietly. Look on the shelf, I have something you'll need." Roxy found a large syringe and needle on the same shelf the wrench was on. They left and rode the elevator to another floor. They found the ink blobs scattered here and there throughout the hall. Roxy pricked one of the blobs and pulled the syringe to suck it up.
"But they're not hurting us! Why can't we leave them alone?" Chica asked.
Henry replied, "If we don't, Alice will probably destroy us all."
"I don't know who's worse, Vanny or that Alice!" Chica said angrily.
"I'd say if there were a contest to see who's worse, they'd tie." Roxy replied.
After they gathered enough ink blobs, they heard the angel's mean voice saying, "How sickening! Makes my skin crawl! But the task is done. Bring me back my equipment." Once again they returned to Alice's abode. A toilet plunger was now on the shelf. They placed the syringe back and Henry grabbed the plunger. "I'll make this simple." Alice said making the three of them sound like idiots who didn't understand what they were doing. "Look for valve panels. Turn the little wheels. Then bring me their power cores."
"How many tasks did she make you both do already?" Chica asked.
"Two already." Henry replied.
"Please, don't make me regret sparing you. I can always change my mind." Alice warned. As they walked away, Alice said, "You're quite efficient running errands, aren't you all?" Henry was starting to tire from the tasks so Chica offered to help.
"So have you found Monty yet?" Chica asked.
"He's still infected and now he teamed up with an axe-wielding crazy cultist named Sammy Lawrence. We nearly escaped Bendy, the ink demon. Roxy said.
"I don't remember seeing him." Chica commented. Eventually they managed to retrieve enough power cores to satisfy Alice. After they returned they found an axe on the shelf. Henry deposited the valves and Roxy took the axe. Chica gasped, "Oh, god! What does that maniac angel want us to do now?"
"Relax, Crispy." Alice Angel taunted. "I'm not asking any of you to kill anyone--yet!" Chica gulped. "You see those grinning demons? Let's remove them, shall we? The tool I provided will make this even more enjoyable!" Alice giggled. "Destroy those Bendy cutouts."
"What a nutcase! Roxy muttered. They ran through the halls. Roxy hacked away at any Bendy cutout she could spot. Once they were done (Chica was trembling at the whole ordeal) Alice said cheerfully, "Ah, now that was fun! But I forgot to mention..."
"Mention what?" Roxy growled.
"He hates it when I do that." Alice said. "I would hide if I were you."
The three heard Bendy coming. "Darn it Alice!" Henry yelled. The three of them hid away until the ink demon could no longer be heard.
The three came back and they heard Alice in a tantrum. "The disgusting wretches have wandered my halls, have gone unchecked! They're trying to drag me back to the darkness! Don't let them take your angel!"
"You're no angel of ours!" Chica muttered quietly enough so Alice wouldn't hear her.
"Purge them one by one! Smash them into puddles! Kill them!" Several lost ones erupted from the ink puddles. Henry smashed them with his gent pipe. Roxy pounced on them like a predatory wolf on the hunt for its prey. Chica stomped on them with a grieved look on her face. Once the task was done, Alice said, "So quiet. Like a welcoming grave. I like the silence, don't you?" Chica was about to answer until Roxy shook her head, warning her not to answer the depraved angel. "I hate leaving work unfinished. Fortunately, I have you to pick up the pieces. But you'll have to go even deeper. Down, down, down, into the abyss. Take the lift down. Say hello to an old friend." The three saw a tommy gun on the shelf. "Sending you a little present. A little firepower. Take good care of it. It belonged to someone very special."
"I don't like this." Henry said as he was about to take the gun. It melted right before their eyes.
"Oops." Alice laughed. "It's a little hard to get a hold of. Oh, well, better luck next time."
"Come on, let's go." Roxy said as the three headed towards the elevator for their next venture.
