I survived all that time thanks to the help of my friends but him and Sammy hunting me down really made it difficult. Then... one day, they got me. Swallowed me up right in front of my friends. I remember bein' surrounded by ink, way too much ink, and there was nothin' but darkness. It felt like I was drowning and gettin' weaker and weaker, about to disappear and become part of him. But I didn't want to melt away into nothin', I wanted to see my friends again, Alice, Boris, Barry, and Henry. So I fought back as hard as I can, and I don't know how but I managed to win. Maybe I got some help from the other fallen Bendys or somethin'. I was swimmin' around in their ink, after all. Eventually I gained a bit of control and the only thing I thought of doin' is gettin' rid of all that ink, so I forced it out. Yeah, 66... he did not like that. Even in the darkness, I saw 66 approach me. With this dark void we were in, we were the only two Bendys left in the world. He grabbed me and I couldn't move. He said how he'd make sure I was melted into nothing as he forced me to become a part of him. He started melting and absorbing me into him again, so I tried fighting back. And, I don't know how it happened, but I turned the tables on him. In that moment of eat or be eaten, I instead managed to absorb 66 into me. I think I blacked out because I don't really remember what happened after that, but when I came to, I was surrounded by my friends, oh that was one of the best feelings in the world.
With that Ink Amalgamation not in control of the studio anymore, we found that we could escape, so we did. Man I won't ever forget the amazement and confusion we got steppin' into the city again after bein' gone for apparently over 40 years. A lot changed after all.
