Memory Synchronization

CHAPTER 5: Memory Synchronization (PART 1)

Charger: Alright, thank goodness there are still non-corrupted objects here on Inanimatica.

Confetti Ball [Bryce]: Why? What happened out there?

Charger: There's an ink zombie outbreak. How long have you guys been here?

Radioactive: Probably just a couple of hours.

Upper: Feels like a couple of days to me.

Lower: We'll never know! The sky is always red!

Charger: Yeah you have a point. Come on, follow me. I'll bring you guys to safety. Don't worry, I'll take care of the ink zombies.

Radioactive and the Power Outlets ran outside and followed Charger, but Bryce did not move. Charger then came back into the room and told him to follow him. Bryce sighed and also ran outside.

...

Screaming and crying can be heard from the roads of Bridgeport, also roaring. The Inkfection must've reached the USA, at least the USA of ONE. Confetti squinted his eyes, the ink flood was splashing around and the hands of the flood were grabbing the objects running and some other objects that are completely inanimate, and so Confetti also started running away.

...

Inkwell: Where... am I? Is this the Artist's Tower?

Inkwell walked around the mysterious place. It's full of animation tables and offices. There are logos printed on the walls which say 'Artist's Tower'. They were able to enter the studio. Inkwell enters a room with a large crack on the wall and the hole where the crack is coming from has the shape of the gem that they're holding. They put one of the gems in the hole and suddenly, a memory flashed before them.

...

...

Someone walked up to Torch, who was lying down on a metal platform.

Lighter: Wowowow! Come here Bow and Arrow! He's waking up!

Torch sat up and looked around. He appears to be in some sort of lab.

Torch: I- uh, where am I?

Bow (not the Bow from II) and Arrow entered the lab and were happy that Torch was alive.

Arrow: Oh! Hello there. My name is Arrow. The shortie (Lighter: Hey!) over there is Light and the quiet arch beside him is my sister Bow.

Bow: Hi.

Torch: But... What's my name?

Arrow: Your name is T-

Lighter: Torch! Your name is Torch!

Arrow looks at Lighter with a disappointed expression for cutting her off. Arrow then looked back to Torch with a warm smile.

Arrow: So as you can see, you're just an android that Bow, Lighter, and I made for a school project. Although, you're more than just a school project.

Torch: What do you mean?

Arrow: It means-

Lighter: That you'll have your own actual soul!

Arrow slaps Lighter to oblivion and causes Torch to jaw drop. Bow took out a colorful gem and gave it to Arrow and she walked towards Torch, showing the gem.

Arrow: This gem contains the soul of a certain someone that I have lost a couple of years ago. But I will revive him using you. You will be his new body. Also, we'll test your movements and your ability to feel emotions properly. It may sound hard, but it's for a school project.

Bow: So much for a school project. Classic Arrow.

Arrow: Now please lie down as I'll be inserting this gem inside you.

Torch lies down and Arrow opens his chest and puts the gem inside there. The power of the gem flows through Torch's body and suddenly, a bright light blasted coming from Torch. Bow and Arrow backed away, covering their eyes from the blinding light as Torch began to ascend and have his new soul.

...

The memory synchronization ends. Inkwell is able to get contact with the real world again while trying to process what they just saw.

Inkwell: Uhh... what? Torch is a-

A Hairclip found Inkwell and they stared at each other for a moment, unable to speak out of shock. Hairclip then decided to speak up to Inkwell, still in shock that someone is still alive in the studio.

Hairclip: Oh wow! I did not expect anyone else to be alive in this studio!

Inkwell: Are you...-

Hairclip: Hairclip? That's right! Mr. Exam Paper told me to go to the 'libraby' or something. I just can't figure what he's talking about!

Inkwell: Well it seems like what people say about you is true. How are you even alive? How did you even get into the studio?

Hairclip: You think I know? Well anyways, I should be going to the 'liraby' now!

Inkwell: Uhm, I think-

Before Inkwell could finish their sentence, Hairclip ran off. Inkwell sighed and went to go find more of the cracks to insert the gems in.

...

The outlet twins, Radioactive, and Bryce are riding a helicopter with Charger as the pilot, trying to evacuate from the chaos happening below. Suddenly, a giant inky hand tries to grab the helicopter but manages to dodge it as Charger goes a bit higher. More hands appear, trying to grab Charger's helicopter. He then spotted the building where Shoe and Syringe were waiting for them. He turned the helicopter and went towards the building.

Box is immune to the Inkfection... for some reason.
