### Bendy vs. Sans

The Ink Demon is first seen sitting on his throne. When he notices Sans, he snaps to attention and chases down Sans.

The Ink Demon attempts to punch Sans, although Sans uses his control of the Ink Demon's soul to slam him into a wall, and then down the Ink Machine corridor. A Gaster Blaster appears in front of the Ink Demon, in which the Ink Demon ducks in a response. Avoiding bones, the Ink Demon runs toward Sans, prepares to punch, only to be flipped over Sans onto the floor. The Ink Demon is then surrounded by Gaster Blasters and presumably shot. However, the Ink Demon teleports behind Sans, jumps down, making Sans fly into the air. However, Sans summons multiple bones that the Ink Demon barely jumps to avoid. A Gaster Blaster appears behind the Ink Demon, in which the latter runs away, however slams into a wall while he's not looking, and then moves through the wall. The Ink Demon appears through another wall, takes a swing on Sans, misses, and rushes into another wall. He comes out of another wall, only to be met with a Gaster Blaster, which shoots him. The Ink Demon is then seen stumbling over to Sans, but is caught and held in place by multiple bones.

However, the Ink Demon breaks through, followed by himself and Sans being teleported to another world. Sans's home game, *Undertale*. The Ink Demon looks behind him to see a Gaster Blaster. It blasts him away, and then is grabbed by Sans and slammed up and down.

This is followed by both characters being teleported to a Batman-comic-esque style world. The Ink Demon has a staredown with Sans, followed by the Ink Demon dodging a chain from Sans, and throwing an explosive in return.

The explosive explodes, sending the Ink Demon to the world of *Minecraft*. The Ink Demon falls out of the sky and lands in the enterance to a cave system, gets up, and then either strives to take down Sans or stares at his hand. He then sees a Creeper in front of him. The Ink Demon and the Creeper have a staredown. The Creeper tries to explode, although the Ink Demon kicks the Creeper into a wall, and then the Creeper explodes. After that event, the Ink Demon sees Sans next to him, and stares.

Sans and the Ink Demon are then teleported to the margins of a *Bendy* cartoon. Upon realizing he's in no position to fight Sans, the Ink Demon, now Bendy, runs away. Sans looks up to see Bendy dropping an anvil off a cliff. Sans dodges it, and then the entire cartoon became corrupted by ink. The trees were broken, and ink was everywhere. Sans did not realize that the Ink Demon was behind him, and the camera moves up to reveal the Ink Demon's face. The ink then flows over the Ink Demon's eyes.

Sans and the Ink Demon are then teleported to what appears to be a stormy mountain range. The Ink Demon and Sans stare at each other. Sans then calls in a Gaster Blaster in front of the Ink Demon, which the Ink Demon responds by slamming the Gaster Blaster into the ground, dodging three more, and starts running at Sans, dodging a lot more Gaster Blasters in the process. He is then caught by Sans and slammed into the ground himself. He is then sprawled onto the ground by Sans, and looks up to see a giant tree being sent to him at rapid speeds. It spears the Ink Demon, although he is unscathed. The Ink Demon is then grabbed by Sans and sent flying into a rock. The Ink Demon blocks a lot of bones, with one rebounding and hitting him. The Ink Demon is then grabbed by Sans and dragged upward, in which he is shot by multiple Gaster Blasters. However, he simply falls and continues to run toward Sans. The Ink Demon is then teleported backwards multiple times, once into multiple Gaster Blasters which all shoot him. The Ink Demon, unscathed, walks out of the smoke. Sans sends a giant bunch of bones and Gaster Blasters, which the Ink Demon entirely runs through. Once the Ink Demon gets to a very tired Sans, the Ink Demon starts elbowing Sans and then starts wildly punching him. The Ink Demon ends off this battle by punching right through Sans's chest.

### Nightmare Sans vs. Beast Bendy

The Ink Demon is seen breathing with his arm through Sans's chest. The Ink Demon drops Sans to the ground, walks up to him, and prepares for the final blow. However, his attack is blocked by Sans, now in his Nightmare form, grabbed the Ink Demon's fist.

The surge of energy knocks the Ink Demon back, and straight through a rock. The Ink Demon gets up and faces Sans, preparing for battle. Sans then shoots out a laser, which hits the Ink Demon in the arm, slightly stunning him. Sans proceeds to blast off all of the Ink Demon's limbs, including his bowtie, and delivers a blow that blasts the Ink Demon's head clean off.

The Ink Demon then reforms and then starts running toward Sans, appearing from a puddle in front of Sans, although is grabbed by Sans, and smashed into the ground, making the Ink Demon combust. He attempts to swing on Sans, only for his arm to be torn off. The Ink Demon attempts to sneak attack Sans, only to combust again. The Ink Demon then attempts to drop a boulder on Sans, although the boulder changes course, and hits the Ink Demon instead. He runs back up the cliff, and is hit again by the same boulder. After Sans deals with a Giant Hand, the Ink Demon swings on Sans from behind, although nothing happens. The Ink Demon realizes that he screwed up and slowly backs away from Sans. However, Sans takes no mercy, and not only explodes the Ink Demon again, but also blasts off a chunk of his head.

The Ink Demon becomes agitated, and reforms, this time in his Beast form. He screams, and punches the area where Sans was standing, although the Ink Demon is falling off the cliff he barely noticed was there before. He takes a couple swings, but then calms down. That is, until Sans appears in front of his face, leading the Ink Demon to go insane and try to get Sans off his head, although they both fall. The Ink Demon is significantly harmed, although Sans appears unscathed. As Sans mocks the Ink Demon, the latter gets angry and tries to crush Sans with his fist, although Sans effortlessly steps out of his hand.

The Ink Demon simply watches as Sans pulls out a bone, and then throws it at the former. The Ink Demon is hit square in the forehead by the bone, sending him flying backwards. The bone charges up and then proceeds to completely annihilate the Ink Demon, reducing him to a giant ink splat.

### Bendy vs. Sans FINAL

The Ink Demon reforms from the ink puddle, and rushes toward Sans, although is quickly annihilated again.

The Ink Demon is hit by a blast of Nightmare energy, which transforms him into a Nightmare form. The Ink Demon immediately rushes toward Sans and attempts to punch him, although the Ink Demon's fist of blocked by Sans's own. This creates a giant energy beam, which, after a while, eventually causes Sans to be launched into the air. The Ink Demon manifests a portal, sticks his arm through, and punches Sans.

As he is watching where Sans went, Sans appears behind him. The Ink Demon turns around, only to be met with a Nightmare Gaster Blaster. He is unfazed by the blast, although Sans appears behind him and is hit multiple times. The Ink Demon sends a beam at Sans, which the latter dodges and kicks the former in the face, sending them both skyward. Multiple of Asriel's stars are traveling toward the Ink Demon, and he is held in place by Sans to be hit by the stars. The Ink Demon charges toward Sans, misses, and comes back in from the top of the screen. Sans and the Ink Demon chase each other for a bit, with it ending by Sans pausing and the Ink Demon kicking him to the ground. Sans turns around to see the Ink Demon on him. Sans holds the Ink Demon's hands away from his face, and sends a laser at the Ink Demon. The Ink Demon is unfazed, punches Sans multiple times, and teleports him to a void where multiple of the Ink Demon's hands appear, most dodged by Sans, although a swarm of hands appear and deliver a lot of blows to Sans. A giant fist attempts to strike Sans, although the latter easily goes through the hand, only to be punched downward by another hand. After Sans disposes of the Ink Demon's army, the Ink Demon himself jumps through a portal, rushes toward, and uppercuts Sans. The Ink Demon and Sans fly into the air, with the Ink Demon punching and kicking Sans. During this time, the Ink Demon and Sans smack into Cuphead, who leaves shortly thereafter.

The Ink Demon and Sans fly right through a planet, breaking it, all while the Ink Demon keeps punching Sans, although Sans bursts out in an orb of light, pushing the Ink Demon away. The Ink Demon is then super-punched by Sans into the sun. The Ink Demon sees Sans himself coming toward the sun, so he manifests a portal, puts his hand through it, attempts to punch Sans, but is shot by a Gaster Blaster before he can do anything. They then proceed to battle it out on the face of the sun, with a moment in which the Ink Demon punches Sans multiple times, once through a portal. Sans is sent flying into a distant planet, with the Ink Demon following suit. The Ink Demon attempts to punch Sans multiple times, which is blocked by the latter's laser eyes and shields. Eventually, Sans breaks free and hurls himself at the Ink Demon, with a Gaster Blaster shooting the Ink Demon, to which the latter roars at, only to be clocked by the former and be sent into orbit by a Gaster Blaster. The Ink Demon is faced with multiple Gaster Blasters, bones, and spears, but grins, manifests a portal, drags Sans through the portal, and goes through the portal himself, leaving Sans to be hit by all that.

Sans bursts out into an orb of energy, startling the Ink Demon. Sans sends multiple spears at the Ink Demon, which he dodges, and watches them explode. He is then punched by Sans and is hit by multiple Gaster Blasters, shortly before escaping from a lot of Gaster Blasters, only to be kicked back into the ring by Sans. The Ink Demon then punches Sans, and creates a portal to block an incoming shot from a Gaster Blaster, only to be hit with multiple spears and presumably launched into orbit. The Ink Demon is then hit by multiple bones spelling out "COOL DUDE" and a bone riding a skateboard as a homage to Papyrus. He then frowns, slightly agitated, and launches himself at Sans, with Sans doing the same. The two proceed to throw hands inside a giant power manifestation, with the Ink Demon prevailing by punching Sans, and then repeating the process multiple times, eventually causing Sans to temporarily be knocked out, and the Ink Demon goes beast mode, ready to strike the final blow, only to be knocked out by the Master Blaster.

The Ink Demon returns in the final scene, flying toward Sans at high speeds, ready to strike a fatal blow.

Before he can, however, he stops, seeing multiple cracks in his body. He stares at his hands, and then at Sans. The Ink Demon proceeds to overheat straight out of his Nightmare form, and falls into a nearby portal, barely moving.

### Indie Cross but Tankman A S C E N D S

While the Ink Demon, in his Nightmare form, battles Boyfriend, he suddenly frowns as he hears Tankman's voice. The Ink Demon looks up to see Tankman, and is later tossed offscreen by an unknown source.

## Scrapped

### Indie Cross V1

#### Week 3

##### Post-Nightmare Run

The older cutscenes for remained largely the same, except for the Ink Demon getting a Piper stuck on his face, which he proceeds to rip apart.

#### Nightmare Songs

There were many scrapped ideas for Despair. One idea would be for the Ink Demon to jump high into the air and land in a random location, and Boyfriend would have to run away from him. Failure to do so would cause instant death.

Another idea was that Boyfriend would get on a haunted house ride cart and use it to speed away from the Ink Demon, with the latter chasing the former.

Yet another idea was that the Ink Demon would transform into his Nightmare Beast form.
