BATIM AU chapter 8 - Tasks (HAHAHAHHA WIDE ALICE)

Instructions

Buddy's POV. When we got to the Angel's domain, she opened a door to reveal a room full of dead Boris' and Butcher Gangs. It was like staring at a car crash. So terrible you want to look away, but the burning curiosity of it all makes you go crazy. "It took so many of them to make me so beautiful... I had to do it. She made me..." It hurt. All those other wolves were once people, just like me. Just like Lucky. I knew who she was. She was Dot. I knew her before, but the ink tainted her mind, made her mentally unstable. She was so different, but I could tell it was her. I knew. I never told her because I was worried it would change her perception of the world. Throw her into a crisis... It was best that she didn't know. Aubrey was afraid, Sammy was apathetic, and Lucky knew I was hurting. She slid over to comfort me. "It's alright, Bud... I know it's painful. But we'll get through this, okay? We'll get out of here. Me, you, Aubrey, and Sammy. Alright?" I felt like I was about to cry. But instead I just nodded. "Okay." She smiled and hugged me. "There we go. That's the Buddy I know." I laughed sadly and hugged back. "You have no idea." Aubrey's POV. Lucky was literally a miracle worker. She took a depressing situation and made Buddy feel better about it. But it didn't help my fear. If this is what Alice is capable of, I didn't want anything to do with her. We continued on and came face to face with the angel, if you could even call her that. Half of her face was... Monster-like? But the other half was actually quite pretty. She was almost like one of those two-sided drama masks. Sammy laughed as soon as he saw her. "Wow, you've seen better days, haven't you Susie?" "Shut up. You're not really a sight for sore eyes either." "At least I've accepted that, unlike you." "...Touché. Anywho, we have other matters to discuss don't we? Regarding your work..." She explained it well. Me and Lucky were to go back to level K and destroy all the Bendy cutouts and collect gears. Sammy and Buddy were to get power cores and get the "extra thick ink" from "searchers", whatever those are. Then, after we complete our work, we return to her for a final task. She gave us the tools and sent us on our way. "Do your jobs and do them well, and you'll be rewarded with safety until you must continue. Farewell for now, and good luck... You'll need it." uwu time skip "Ugh... Don't you think she could do her own chores? I mean, come on, she had all this stuff to begin with," I said, gesturing at the axes she lent us. I swung it and it landed directly on a cutout's face. "Well... I'm sure she could have done them, but where's the fun in that? Hehe, I don't blame her really." "Seriously? Do you want to be here, destroying cutouts for no real reason, while we risk being face to face with the real Bendy?" "It's like an adventure! Besides, he has a weakness..." She nodded towards what looked like a dressing room for a clothing store that had the words "Little Miracle Station" written on the top. "That? That's his weakness?" "He can't get inside them. They're all over the place around here." "Why can't he?" "Cleansed. Alice did that for whenever she needs to come down here, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind us using one if we needed to. Hell, Bendy couldn't touch one of those things with a ten-foot pole!" "Good to know." "Mhm!" She cheerfully threw her axe at the last cutout and brushed her hands together. "Done and done! Let's get back to Alice!" Suddenly, the walls turned dark and there was the sound of angered footsteps. Lucky jumped, startled. She grabbed my arm and ran to a Miracle Station, shoving me inside and running in after me. Bendy stomped his way over to the cutout Lucky's axe was still wedged into. "WHO THE HELL IS DESTROYING MY CUTOUTS?! ALICE! GET YOUR DUMB ANGELIC A(skiddly doo) OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" Alice laughed over the intercom. "Sorry, not sorry. And I'm not coming over there. Not if you have that attitude, at least." "FINE. PLEASE?" "Aha... That's funny. Hearing the 'Overlord' of the Studio say please." "DIE--" "No, thanks. I'd rather be a cute little angel, sitting here in Heaven as I watch demon scum get angry over nothing." Bendy made inaudible, yet obviously mad noises as he walked into a wall on accident and drew a pentagram to walk through. "Come on out. Oh, also, before you come back, could you clean up that mess he made on the wall? Thanks, dears!" And with that, we got rid of the pentagram and left. (continued below)
