Description
Continued-Cuphead opened his eyes and looked around. He saw that the walls were white, and saw an IV drip, obviously, he was dehydrated. He looked around and saw Elder Kettle sitting on a chair. Elder Kettle noticed that the cup was awake and walked over to the bed, the wooden cane thumping on the floor.
“Cuphead? You alright, boy?”
“I- I don’t know…”
Suddenly, Cuphead felt a hug from the other side. It was a mug, crying in relief that his big brother was okay. Cuphead smiled at his little brother and wiped away Mugman’s tears, and he hugged back. Elder Kettle cooed at the sight of the brothers, and both Cuphead and Mugman smiled and looked at each other, then Mugman grabbed the kettle’s hand and pulled him into the hug as well.
“Aww, you boys…”
Sonic peeked through the door and smiled at the little tableware family. He turned around to see his own little brother, and he rubbed Tails’ forehead locks, making the kit giggle a little bit. He held the fox in his arms and lifted him onto his shoulders.
“Want to go home, lil’ buddy?”
“Okay!”
Sonic felt the fox hold on tight, cueing him to start running. Wind… all he felt was wind, blowing between his quills. He looked up to see his little brother smiling, letting the wind blow in his fur, a chill breeze calmed them both, it felt so zen. Tails knew why Sonic liked to run so fast. The feeling of being unleashed, free, calm washed over him as they ran along with the fields all the way home.
Hell-
The Devil sat on his chair, angrily inhaling the hellish air. He ignored the dice who was trying to explain what went wrong with the plan. Suddenly the Devil sensed something, he was determined to discover what it was. The Devil then teleported where he sensed the mysterious energy… it wasn’t Cuphead. The Devil recognized the hedgehog and fox in the distance.
“Oooooo, look what we have here…”
The Devil sensed two energies… he was able to take both Sonic and Tails’ souls now…
Hilda’s Starhouse-
Hilda was in her house, looking at the stars. She loved the stars… and ever since she was a little girl, she wished to go on her own expedition to space, to explore, to discover. She hoped that if she gambled and won big, she could have enough money to make her dream come true. Alas, the Devil isn’t fair, and she still hasn’t accomplished her dream.
She turned to hear knocking on her door.
“Hello? Who is it?”
“Hilda?”
Hilda opened the door for her Carnation friend.
“Cagney… how’s your stem?”
“Eh, it’s doin’ better, it's gonna take a little while though.”
“I bet. So… is there a reason you came, Cagney?”
“Oh, yeah… I found this…”
Hilda’s eyes went bright… it was a ticket to have a space station tour. Hilda couldn’t even speak, she had never gotten such an amazing gift. She looked at the flower, who was blushing slightly, and he smiled at his friend.
“Just in case we do survive this… Devil fiasco… you probably would love to go there after all this is over.”
“This is very thoughtful of you, Cagney… thank you.”
“Aww… you’re gonna make me embarrassed, Hilda…”
Hilda and Cagney laughed, and Cagney had to leave. The two friends waved goodbye, and the flower left. Hilda closed the door, and slid down it, she sat against the door, staring in excitement at the ticket. She held it and stared at the sky…
“I’m coming, very soon.”
Sonic’s House-
Sonic and Tails sat at the kitchen table, eating chilidogs for lunch. They heard a knocking on the door, but the knocking was very loud, making Sonic and Tails tense up. Sonic walked over to the door and peeked through the peephole in the door, and Sonic sighed and opened the door.
It was Knuckles the Echidna.
“Knux? What brings you all the way over here?”
“The Master Emerald… isn’t glowing…”
Both Sonic and Tails exchanged looks.
“What do you mean it stopped glowing?”
“For some reason, the Master Emerald is-”
“Holding back it’s Chaos Energy, it’s power.”
Sonic and Knuckles looked at Tails.
“Precisely, Tails.”
Knuckles went back outside and shortly returned with the Master Emerald. He set it down so that Tails could examine the gray-green rock. Tails got his technology and got to work immediately, mainly because Knuckles offered mint candies if he could find out what was blocking the Chaos Energy power.
After about 3 hours, Tails returned from the workshop.
“Well? What is blocking the power?”
Tails sighed and took off his goggles, and looked into Knuckles' eyes.
“It’s not a WHAT… it’s a WHO…”
“Then… who is it?”
“It’s… the Devil…”
Knuckles looked at Tails in disbelief. Then he looked at Sonic, then at Tails. He saw Tails’ eyes, his facial expression. He was telling the truth.
“You’re joking? Right?”
Sonic and Tails stared at him.
“You are not joking… of course, you aren’t.”
“The Devil had come by this house twice, and he already took Cuphead’s soul, and then he came back for Mugman’s, and he put me in a coma… and he-”
“WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! Slow down, fox. You were in a coma? When?”
“Just yesterday…”
Knuckles started to pace, and he had a concerned and worried look on his face.
“Don’t worry Knuckles, I’m okay now… I think…”
“You better be, Tails.”
Then Team Sonic heard the door, and it was banging… someone was breaking in.
Hospital-
Cuphead was eating pudding that the nurse brought in, and the cup’s cracks had healed completely. Elder Kettle and Mugman were relieved that Cuphead was okay again and was finally able to get the cup out of the hospital.
“Elder Kettle?”
“Yes, Mugman?
“Before we go back to Inkwell, can we say goodbye to Sonic and Tails?”
Cuphead completely forgot about them.
“OH!!! YEAH! PLEASEEEEE!!”
“Alright, come along, boys. You have some farewelling to do.”
“YEAH!!!” Yelled both the cups.
On the way-
“Hey, Cuphead?”
“Yeah, Mugsy?”
“I was… so scared when I saw you like that…”
Cuphead changed his expression, smiling, then frowning.
“I’m sorry, Mugsy… I know it was scary, but, I’m okay now. See? I’m alrig-”
Mugman and Elder Kettle stared behind Cuphead. Cuphead turned to see that Sonic’s house was on fire.
“OH NO!! NO, NO, NOOO!!!”
“CUPHEAD!!! WE HAVE TO FIND THEM!!!”
The cups ran over to the house and started looking for the hedgehog and fox. Cuphead was trying his best to dig around, and he saw the hand of the speedy blue rodent. Cuphead immediately dug the area like a crazy person.
“ELDER KETTLE!!!! MUGMAN!!! OVER HERE!!!”
The dishware ran over and helped Cuphead dig out the hedgehog. Cuphead and Mugman covered their mouths in shock. Sonic had lost his color, he was a dark gray hedgehog. This only meant one thing, the Devil had taken Sonic’s soul.
Mugman looked to his right and saw a gray fox under some broken pieces of the walls and ceiling. They dug him out as well and laid both Sonic and Tails on the soft grass, and they saw someone walking out of the house, the echidna limped out of the burning house, a piece of wood stabbed into his leg, and he fell to the ground.
Knuckles got back up and walked towards the kettle and cups.
“You must be *GAH*... Cuphead and Mugman… Sonic and Tails told me all about the Devil *AGH*... and everything… then he came and took their souls… and he burnt the house down.”
The echidna fell to his knees, as he was carrying the heavy emerald.
The Master Emerald rolled to the shoes of Cuphead, as he picked up the gem and walked towards the injured echidna. Knuckles looked into the eyes of the cup child and saw innocence. He struggled to stand, and Cuphead helped him up, feeling the heavyweight as he helped the guardian walk.
Cuphead didn’t feel brave… he was scared. He felt as though fear itself had clung to the cup. He hadn’t felt this way since… his parents died.
“Who are you?”
“I’m… Knuckles the Echidna…”
Cuphead's heart was bounding, his vision blurred, and the sounds and voices around him faded. He stared at his new friends, they had become gray and cold… empty. Cuphead felt his face go hot, his eyes became wet, as he fell to the ground on his knees, crying louder than Mugman had ever seen.
Mugman ran towards his big brother, and hugged him, asking the balling cup what was wrong. Cuphead looked at his little brother and answered.
“This is all my fault!! I was the one dumb enough to go into that stupid Casino in the first place, I never listened to you when you warned me, you said that it was a bad idea, and now I-”
“Cuphead… I know you’re scared…”
Cuphead knew he was not just scared. He was terrified.
“I put everyone in danger. If something happened to you, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. Look at ‘em, Mugsy. They look cold, empty, dark… I don’t want to see you like that… I don’t want anyone else to get hurt…”
Cuphead stood up, was Mugman thinking about what Cuphead was saying… and he finally understood.
“No. NO!! Cuphead! You can’t fight the Devil by yourself!!!”
The little mug was too late for as soon as he said that, Cuphead had left out of his sight.
“Oh my…”
Elder Kettle was shocked at what the cup was going to do. But the kettle heard noises behind him, and he, Knuckles, and Mugman turned around to see a demonic Sonic and Tails, grinning at the injured echidna and the dishware.
They smiled, their sharp teeth were exposed, and they pounced at the defenseless three.
Hilda’s Starhouse-
Hilda was gazing at the star, lying on a hill. She heard someone was coming, and she went inside her house to get her star bow. She ran out and aimed it at someone, but then she saw… Cuphead, and he was balling.
“Oh my… Cuphead?! What’s wrong?”
The poor cup didn’t answer, he was crying too much.
Hilda walked over to the cup and went down on one knee, having her eye level the same as Cuphead’s.
“What’s wrong, Cups?”
“H-h-he took S-Sonic and T-Tails’ souls…”
“What!? HOW!? They didn’t even go to the Casino!!!”
“I guess Devil found a way to take any soul he wants.”
“But… then that means…”
“I know, and we have to stop him…”
Cuphead looked away from Hilda, tears streaming down his fragile face.
“Before he takes all the souls of everyone in the world…”
