Return to Hell (BaTDR Reader Insert)

Arch Gate Pictures

After meeting up with Sammy, and deciding to go to Arch Gate Pictures to retrieve your kidnapped friends, you were now in your car with Ben and on your way to the studio to see what you could do. "You doing okay (Y/N)? You seem tense..." Ben said as you kept your hands to the steering wheel. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just getting a sense of Deja Vu from this." You said as the Arch Gate Pictures building came into view. It was rather large and several stories tall, giving off a sense of dread and unease. You and Ben got out of the car and tried to open the front door, but it was locked. You growled as you tried to fiddle with the lock desperately.

"Allow me (Y/N)." Ben said as you backed up. He then stood infront of the door and enlarged his fist while his other hand shrunk before he wound up and with a massive bang along with the sound of wood splintering and glass shattering, the door was open. You blinked twice before you accepted the results and entered the studio with Ben who was shaking the splinters out of his hand. "You okay Ben?" You said as you looked back to him. He nodded and the two of you quickly made your way to the elevator, but the elevator must have been out of order as an alarm began sounding as you once again growled. The elevator had seemed to stop on a higher floor, you looked to the emergency stairwell as Ben suddenly reeled forward, clutching his head in pain.

"Ben!? Are you okay?" You said as you quickly held him up. He then wiped away the ink covering his pale yellow eyes as they showed a look of true terror. "It's the Ink Machine..." He said in fear, "It's here. In the building... and I think someone else is trying to activate it." Time seemed to completely stop as you remembered all that had happened the year prior, and if the Ink Machine really was involved, then it was likely that your friends were in grave danger. You and Ben made a b-line for the Stairwell and quickly headed up to the level the elevator had stopped, hoping to stop whoever was just about to make the biggest mistake of their life from completely activating it.

As you reached the floor where the elevator had stopped, it was covered in Joey Drew memorabilia and artifacts you recognized from the Inky hell the man had trapped you in before. You then looked around before looking down a hall and seeing what looked like a young female and some older guy standing right in front of the Ink Machine itself. "NO STOP! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE..." You said as you ran forward to try and stop them but just as the Female turned to you, she was dragged into the Ink by the old man. "Oh god... not again! NOT AGAIN! BEN!" You shouted as you were suddenly dragged under the Ink by some sort of force, Ben trying to grab your hand and keep you above the ink, but he was dragged in as well. The two of you dissapearing into the Ink...

It felt as if the Ink was suffocating you, crushing your lungs as you couldn't stop it from seeping into your body. You held Ben's hand as tight as you could, not willing to loose him as well. It felt like the Ink was constantly pulling at the both of you, trying to separate you from each other, but you wouldn't let that happen again. And just as you were about to slip into unconsciousness... you could breath once again.
