I couldn't believe my eyes. I was staring at someone from my childhood. Someone I hadn't seen in years.....my first guy friend.

Me: RAPHAEL?!
Raphael: Hey.... 

He was still the way I remembered him. He was still a mutant turtle with a red ninja mask, arm and knee pads, and a belt tied around his waist.

Me: What are you doing here?
Raphael: *sigh* Being forced to hide this piece of the Ink Machine.
Me: While being put in this monster.
Raphael: More like......I AM the monster.
Me: Huh?
Raphael: When the devil gave me the piece, I was transformed into the monster and was trapped inside.
Me: Have you tried escaping?
Raphael: I would but.......I'm kinda stuck.

I moved closer to see that he was indeed stuck. Large chains were clasped around his wrists and they connected to the wall.

Me: Maybe I can break em.
Raphael: I don't......think you can.
Me: RRRRRRRR! *Pulls chains trying to break them but failing miserably**stops*
Raphael: Told ya.
Me: I......thought that was.....gonna be.....easier.
Raphael: Forget about me. Just get outta here Glassy.
Me: No....
Raphael: Glassy, you're free! You can go wherever you feel like.
Me:....Not really.....
Raphael: Huh?
Me: New and my brothers......have been running from the devil for 11 years now.
Raphael: 11?
Me: Yes, 11. Never going to the same place twice.
Raphael: That's......not what I imagined you were doing.
Me: What did you think I was doing?
Raphael: Living off somewhere happy with your brothers. In one place.
Me: Hehe, we may not live in one place, but we're all happy together....well, except right now, I don't know where they are right now.
Raphael: Huh? How?
Me: A portal separated us.
Raphael: Ohhhhh.
Me: Anyways, where's this piece to the Ink Machine?
Raphael: Why?
Me: Cause if I can find it and get it out of here, we're both safe and free.
Raphael: I don't know if you can...it's as stuck as me.
Me: Come on! Try to be positive!
Raphael: I don't know.......it's never ended good for me.
Me: Then do it for me!
Raphael: *smiles* Ok. The piece is-

But before he could finish, the piece began to glow, right behind him.

Raphael: -right there.
Me: *approaches the peice**grabs it and starts pulling* NNNNGHHH!
Raphael: *watching hopefully*

Both of us were so distracted though, we didn't realize that the walls and floors were cracking. And when it gave away.

Me: *stops and looks down* H-HUH?!
Raphael:!!!!
*floor gives away*
Both of us: AHHHHH!
Me: *grabs onto Raphael*
Raphael: *gets held up by chains*
Me: Oh right.

We thought we were good, but one of the chains gave out. Raphael grabbed me and held me tightly as we dangled by the one chain.

Raphael: Are you?
Me: I'm fine.
*chain starts breaking more*
Me: Oh no.....
Raphael: I'm glad I got to see you one last time Glassy.
Me: Me too. *holds on tightly*
*chain gives out*
Both of us: *falls* AHHHHH!
Me: *starts floating* WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT AM I DOING?!
Raphael: WHO CARES?! GET US TO THAT LEDGE!

I carried us both over to the edge of the hole and landed us safely on the floor. We both sat silently, catching our breath, for about a minute.

Raphael: Are......you........ok?
Me: Y-yeah. *hugs Raphael*
Raphael: Glassy?
Me: I've just missed you so much.
Raphael: *returns hug* Me too.

We continued to hug for a while until I remembered the piece.

Me: *standing up* Well, I'd better get that piece.
Raphael: I'm helping.
Me: Huh?
Raphael: I'm not chained to the wall anymore, I can help!
Me: Ok!

We both made our way back to the piece. We looked at each other and nodded before grabbing the piece. We pulled on the piece as hard as we could.

Raphael: So......hows life?
Me: It's pretty good.......I have some friends outside who probably think I'm dead.
Raphael: Well........it's good that you made new friends.
Me: Yeah......I uh.....
Raphael: What?
Me: I MAY have.......fallen in love.....
Raphael: Wait.......SERIOUSLY?
Me: Yeah..
Raphael: What's the guy's name?
Me: Bendy.
Raphael: I'm impressed, you never seemed like you would fall for anyone.
Me: Ha! Shut up!
Raphael: It's true though! You were always so tough and scared everyone.
Me: Yeah, even you.
Raphael: Hey! *laughs*
Me: *laughs*

We kept on pulling the piece harder and harder until......

*piece pops off the wall*
Me: Whoa! *falls over*
Raphael: Ahh! *falls on top of me*
Me: Raph......get of me......please.
Raphael: Sorry! *gets off me and helps me up* Are you ok?
Me: I am now that you're off me!
Both of us: *laughs*

We laughed for a moment but got cut off by the room cracking and crumbling.

Me: WHAT'S GOING ON?!
Raphael: IT'S THE MONSTER! NOW THAT WE'VE REMOVED THE PIECE, IT HAS NOTHING TO STABILIZE IT!

We watched in horror as everything started to fall around us. We were struck terrified, though, when we felt the ground move and we looked down to see a giant crack in the floor. And then, it broke open beneath our feet, and we fell.

Both of us: AHHHHHHHH!

And it all went dark again.
