Welcome everyone. To the Cuphead the Musical Fanfic. This is an entire script that I...kinda hope someone would see and make this into a full musical. This is Act 1 that will extend from the Beginning of the game, to the end of Inkwell Isle 2, where as Act 2 will extend from Inkwell Isle 3 to the End of the game. Now then...here are things that will help you should you get lost amongst the lyrics.

The dialogue (Dialogue) is to read until you reach the next verse of the song, it is not dialogue apart of the song.

When You meet with this Cuphead, & (Mugman)The singer in parentheses will sing a part that differs what the unparenthesized singers sing.

When you meet with this Cuphead(Overlapping) The singer's verse will be overlapping with the verse another singer is singing...think of it as the Confrontation song between Valjean and Javert from Les Miserables.

There will be choirs of all kind, an ensemble of singers that sings with the main protagonist, antagonist, debtor, or simply singular.

That being said, I thank you. And enjoy...Cuphead the Musical.


Act 1
Don't Deal With the Devil/Overture
Lyrics by Kristopher Maddigan
Feat. Barbershop Quartet

(Arriving from the right end of the stage comes three living barbershop poles, as they were behind the closed curtain. Soon, a fourth one trails behind.)

BARBERSHOP POLE #1: (Harmonica blow) (Sings in Base) Well...

BARBERSHOP POLE #2: (Sings in Baritone) Well...

BARBERSHOP POLE #3: (Sings the Tenor) Well...

BARBERSHOP POLE #4: (Sings in countertenor) Well...

(The lead stopped them, giving the boys a thumbs up...and soon...they sang.)

Barbershop Quartet
Well Cuphead and his pal Mugman,
They like to roll the dice...

Tenor
By

Barbershop Quartet
Chance they came upon Devil's game and
Gosh, they paid the price.

Paid the price...

And now they're fighting for their lives
On a mission fraught with dread,

Baritone
And if

Barbershop Quartet
They proceed but don't succeed...

Base
Well...

Barbershop Quartet
The Devil will take their heads!

(As clapping was heard from the audience, the Barbershop Quartet takes their leave as a piano was now heard. Soon, the light flashes to Elder Kettle: the one who is playing the piano.)

ELDER KETTLE: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. The story I am about to tell you, is one I never thought would see the light of day. It's a tale of gambling, and debtors, and especially...the Devil. Before, the tale can be told, please, if you have any electrical doo-dads and gadgets, please take this time to turn them off. Any calls you wish to make, please exit a door in each end of the theatre. We of Inkwell Isle humbly thank you for coming this night, and welcome you back...to the olden times. Thank you...and welcome home.

Cuphead
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Elder Kettle, Cuphead, Mugman, King Dice, Devil, & Chorus

(Soon, the piano concludes, and everyone claps once more. Soon, the curtain arises, and on cue the drums begin to beat down.)

ELDER KETTLE: This whole ordeal, once upon a time...started my child, Cuphead.

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Elder Kettle
The one who made the bet and lost it all

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Elder Kettle
He heard Devil's call

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Elder Kettle
The game has started with the roll of a dice

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Chorus & Elder Kettle
Now the boys must pay the price

ELDER KETTLE: We all live in a magical place known as Inkwell Isle. I was blessed to watch two ecstatic, and cheerful young lads: Cuphead and Mugman. However, despite my many warnings, the two boys has stumbled across...the Devil's Casino.

Chorus
In the darkest pits
His malicious wits
The Devil sits
Drinking his wine

In the darkest pits
His malicious wits
The Devil sits
Now, all is on the line

ELDER KETTLE: Inside, Cuphead and Mugman found themselves on the winning streak at the Crap's table(pardon my language). Uh...King Dice, the sleazy casino manager looked in awe at Cuphead and Mugman's performance.

KING DICE (Smiling): Hot dawg, these boys can't lose!

ELDER KETTLE: Then...he came.

Chorus
Born from the deepest darkness, King of Inkwell Hell
Soon, The Devil himself appears, just having a time so swell

DEVIL (Laughing): Nice one boys, hehehe. Now how about we raise the stakes? Win one more roll and all the loot in my casino is yours, but if you lose...I'll have your SOULS! deal?

ELDER KETTLE: And then...it happened.

MUGMAN: CUPHEAD, NO!

Elder Kettle
So, the dice was rolled
The die is cast, the Devil laughs
And Cuphead...lost.

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Elder Kettle
He rolled the dice and now he lost it all

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Elder Kettle
He heard Devil's call

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Elder Kettle
The game has ended with the roll of a dice

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Chorus & Elder Kettle
Now it's time they paid the price!

(The Devil slams the table, towering the two.)

DEVIL (cackling): HAHAHA! SNAKE EYES! Sorry boys, but you've LOST! hehehehehe! Now...about them souls.

ELDER KETTLE: The boys pleaded for their very lives.

Cuphead
PLEASE SIR! We didn't mean to bet and lose and all!

Mugman
PLESE SIR! We really don't wanna fall!

Cuphead
PLEASE SIR! There has to be another choice to pay!

Cuphead & Mugman
PLEASE SIR! ISN'T THERE ANOTHER WAY?!

DEVIL (Pulling out a parchment):Another way, huh? Now that you mention it, perhaps there is. I have a list here, of runaway debtors. Collect their souls for me, and I might just pardon yours.

Chorus & Elder Kettle
They made the deal
They made the seal
It's all too real
They are now his tools

They made the deal
They made the seal
It's all too real
That the boy's been played for fools

ELDER KETTLE: The Devil rudely kicked out the boys from his casino, as he roared.

DEVIL: NOW GET GOING! You have till midnight, tomorrow night to get those contracts, and every one of them! King Dice will make sure you get the job done, before you go through the rest of the isle. Fail this task, boys, I'll be the one collectin' YOUR souls instead!

Chorus & Elder Kettle
Now the boys have tomorrow at midnight to nab the contracts all
If they leave, but don't succeed, then they'll be the ones to fall

ELDER KETTLE: Cuphead and Mugman, ever so frightened, ran as fast as they could back to Inkwell Glade, to seek my advice.

CUPHEAD: C'MON MUGS! We have to go to Elder Kettle! He'll know what to do!

(Soon, Cuphead, and Mugman ran out the stage.)

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Elder Kettle
The one who made the bet and lost it all

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Elder Kettle
He heard Devil's call

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Elder Kettle
The game has started with the roll of a dice

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

Chorus & Elder Kettle
Now the boys must pay the price

ELDER KETTLE: And there you have it. That is our story, This...is why you don't deal with the Devil.

Chorus
CUPHEAD!

(And Scene.)

(It's now over yet...however. The stage goes dark. Soon the lights flashed down on a shifty group in a circle. It was ALL the debtors of Inkwell Isle, on stage. Soon, the lights also flashed down on a small hopping blob making its way towards the crowd: it was Goope LeGrande.)

GOOPE LE GRANDE: I came as soon as I got Hilda's message, long time no see, everybody!

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Goope, honey, fantastic that you've made it.

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Sooooo...what's all of this about?

(Rumor soon turns to Hilda Berg.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: You didn't tell him, I presume?

HILDA BERG: (Shrugging) I thought I'd let you tell him, give him the surprise.

(Soon, a sinister tune began playing as Rumor begins to explain the situation.)

Kill off Cuphead
Lyrics by Random Encounter
Feat. King Dice, Devil, & Debtors of Inkwell Isle

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Hmm. Very well. News to be amuse everyone. For I'm sure the rest of you has heard the rumors?

CAGNEY CARNATION: IT'S THAT PLUCKY LITTLE BRAT, CUPHEAD, HE SCREWED US UP!

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Oh?

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Aye, as we speak the landlubber is comin' to collect all our deals with the Devil.

DR. KAHL: VE MUST STOP HIM!

(It was clear that the debtors had a plan stirring. Soon, they all broke into song, starting with Hilda Berg: blissfully resting on a floating cloud as stars shined around her, and Djimmi the Great, resting on a flying cuphead armed with pink and blue sabers floating around him.)

Hilda Berg
Hey, he's coming this way so, beware

Djimmi the Great
Say, let's shoot the kid outta the air, HAHA!

(Next comes Baroness Von Bon-Bon. Surrounding her is an entire army of candy flavored soldiers, while a yellow glow was seen from the back of the darken stage. Next to her are 3 veggies known as the Root Pack, Moe-Tato, Weepy, and their leader Psycarrot.)

Baroness Von Bon-Bon
I could put him on icing, myself!

The Root Pack
And we three veggies won't be so good for his health

(Next comes Captain Brineybeard who was sat down with a frog and a toad, and a beautiful mermaid with shining opal eyes towering the two, as a toony variety of fish swam around her.)

Captain Brineybeard
Let's just smash him!

Cala Maria
Or whack him with a trout, HA!

Ribby & Croaks
We could thrash him,

Goope Le Grande
Can't we just give him a knockout?

Debtors of Inkwell Isle
NO!

We're gonna kill off Cuphead, we're gonna make him die!
We're gonna kill off Cuphead, with a big goodbye!

We're gonna kill off Cuphead, we're gonna make him pay,
His debt with the Devil... is coming due today!

WALLY WARBLES: OOOOOOH! I can't WAIT to get my wings on that porcelain punk!

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: I'll learn to check his china.

(Soon taking the stage, comes the Blind Specter the blind ghost with eyes for hands as he and the bee queen herself, Rumor Honeybottoms takes the second verse,)

Blind Specter
I'll see that his life is cut SHORT!

Rumor Honeybottoms & (Bobee Cop)
While, I call on the cops to come bee of support(OI, OI, OI!)

(Soon, a clown on a bumper cart zooms on to the stage. Alongside the insane clown was a little innocent flower planted on a flower pot...to which vines sharper than ever twirled around the innocent...yet insane looking plant.)

Beppi the Clown
Why, not GIVE HIM THE RIDE OF HIS LIFE?! HAHAHAHA!

Cagney Carnation
Then
shank that schnook with a briar SHARP AS A KNIFE?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(Next taking the verse comes Dr. Kahl, and Werner Werman. Khaul behind him had a little something shadowed by the darkness of the stage as it glowed piercing yellow eyes. Werman himself was on what appears to be a soup-canned shaped tank as he smoked his cigar.)

Dr. Kahl
Let's use science...

Werner Werman
Und arm ourselves FOR VAR!

(Next comes Wally Warbles as he flying high up the stage, with his egg-headed son perched atop the warble's cuckoo clock house.)

Wally Warbles
Sky-high violence...

Wally Jr.
IS WHAT CUPHEAD HAS IN STORED!

Debtors of Inkwell Isle
We're gonna kill off Cuphead, we're gonna make him die!

Cala Maria
We're gonna make him fish food...

Werner Werman
Und zen ve'll make him FRY!

Debtors of Inkwell Isle
We're gonna kill off Cuphead, we're gonna make him pay,
His debt with the Devil... is coming due today!

Hilda Berg
One...shift of the stars, and the tide is sure to turn...

Ribby & Croaks
Too...bad Cuphead's about to lose, big!

(Newly joining in on the song, towering everyone and at the Mermaid's length, is a large shy looking green dragon. He seems to be holding 2 other puppet bags as he maneuvered them in a dangerous tone. Aside the dragon was female human girl twirling her parasol around.)

Grim Matchstick
Three...heads will hunt until Cuphead feels the burn...WINK!

Sally Stageplay
For the rest of his headlining gig!

(Soon, skidding to the center of the stage, the spotlight soon flashes down on Cuphead as he was faced to faced with certain Dice-headed character. All the debtors only frowned and mused in misery at King Dice.)

King Dice
They call me King Dice, cause that's who I am
A royal pain whose diabolical plan,

To close some contracts need a sucker or two
So C'mon Cuphead, Kid, I'm talkin' to you!

Come shake my hand
We've got a deal?
Good, cause now it gets real!

(As King Dice grabbed Cuphead's gloved hand and forcefully shook it, he let it go with force making Cuphead spin to the next spotlight. Dizzily, Cuphead felt someone behind him...behind Cuphead...was the Devil himself.)

The Devil
You...agreed to my game, and you LOST!
You...accepted the odds, now you'll cough up the cost!

Don't...screw with me kid, or I swear...
I'll take my teeth from your skull like CHEAP CHINAWEAR!

(Soon, surrounding Cuphead was an entire staff of casino varying characters. On top of that, already the debtors began to surround him, all except Goope of course, who only smirked and rolled his eyes. It seems like he doesn't really care.)

Phaer Lap
SPOOK HIM!

Mr. Wheezy
SCORCH HIM!

Tipsy Troop
Liquefy his brains!

Dr. Kahl
TAZE HIM!

Grim Matchstick
TORCH HIM!

Phantom Express
AND THEN BURY HIS REMAINS!

Debtors of Inkwell Isle
We're gonna kill off Cuphead, we're gonna make him die!

Sally Stageplay
It's his final curtain...

Blind Specter
AND THE END IS NIGH-IIIIGH!

Debtors of Inkwell Isle
We're gonna kill off Cuphead, we're gonna make him pay,
His debt with the Devil...

King Dice
IS COMIN' DUE TODAY!

Debtors of Inkwell Glade
IS COMIN' DUE TODAY!

Debtors of Inkwell Park
IS COMIN' DUE TODAY!

Debtors of Inkwell City
IS COMIN' DUE TODAY!

The Devil
Is comin' due today...HAHAHAHAHAHA!


(The curtain closes, and everyone cheers. Soon, curtain opens up again, with Elder Kettle not on the piano, but on his rocking chair. The background seems to be his house. Soon, Cuphead and Mugman approaches Elder Kettle, in fright.)

CUPHEAD: ELDER KETTLE, WAKE UP! We have a big problem! -A-A-A-A BIG, BIG PROBLEM!

(Elder Kettle still snoring.)

MUGMAN: Elder...PLEASE wake up!

(The rambunctious noises from the cups was enough to make the old kettle open his eyes groggily, noticing the two frighten boys in front of him.)

ELDER KETTLE: Oh, Cuphead, Mugman. Oh, what seems to be the trouble, boys? You look down.

CUPHEAD: Elder Kettle, you have to help us! W-(Cuphead stops himself after he looked at the innocent blue cup next to him.) I...may have made a deal with the Devil, and well...me and Mugs are his errand boys now.

ELDER KETTLE (Surprised): You did WHAT?!

CUPHEAD: It was an accident, I swear! We just stumbled across the Casino, played a few games, and well...I got carried away. (Cuphead lowers his head sadly.)

My Little Teacups
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Elder Kettle, Cuphead, Mugman, & Orchestra

(Music picks up, a flute accompanied by an orchestra perks up, the moment Elder Kettle gives a sigh.)

ELDER KETTLE: Oh, bother. It looks like you boys are in quite the trouble now, huh?

MUGMAN: What should we do, Elder Kettle?

(Elder Kettle begins to sing.)

Elder Kettle
I hope you know, I care for both of you,
My little teacups...

My boys, I fear your task is all but doom,
Don't fret, my teacups...

I will guide you if I can,
But you both must understand

That danger is near, you cannot fear, my teacups.

(Elder Kettle soon holds Cuphead and Mugman's hand, as they all entered the Magical Inkpad. Soon, as everything was all but white, Cuphead, Mugman, and Elder Kettle traversed through the inkpad.)

Dangers come forth, as each path begins anew
It's time, my teacups...

Monsters will grow, and tear you both in two,
Stay strong, my teacups...

You must attack, you must fight back,
You must defend, fight till the end,
Be set for quite the brawl, my little teacups

(Elder Kettle then takes out some strange bubbling blue liquid. He soon pours it in the cups of Cuphead and Mugman as they only looked at the Elder Kettle in confusion.)

(Instrumental interlude)

ELDER KETTLE: Go on my boys, point those gloved fingers of your to that there target.

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman both snapped their fingers. Suddenly, to their surprise, a bright blue projectile blasted out of their gloved fingers, blasting down the target. Cuphead, however missed completely and made a hole in one of the towering blocks)

CUPHEAD: Oops, heh, sorry.

(Interlude ends)

Elder Kettle
I hope you know, I care,
My little teacups...

My boys, I fear your task is all but scares,
Don't fret, my teacups...

Elder Kettle, (Cuphead & Mugman)
I will guide you if I can... (Elder, guide us if you can...)
Both of you must understand... (We will understand...)

Elder Kettle
That danger is near, you mustn't fear, my teacups

Things will not be easy...
Things will not facile...

Debtors they're strong, debtors, they're tough, debtors make your time quite rough
They will show all their might,
Anything to win their fight.

Debtors they're mean, debtors they're brash, debtors will want try to make you crack and crash
Will you let them?
You can't let them.

I know, you fear,
I know, you doubt,
There is nothing you can fear, you can stop those vicious louts

I'm here, don't fear
I'm here, don't doubt
I will guide you through this route.

Cuphead
Debtors they're strong, debtors, they're tough, debtors make our time quite rough
They will show us all their might,
Anything to win their fight.

Mugman
Debtors they're mean, debtors they're brash, debtors will want to shove us in the trash
Such dismay
Comes our way

Cuphead & Mugman
We fear, what's next
We fear, what comes
,
Elder with your wisdom, we will pass the debtors, we will see this game done.

Though we fear, you're here
Though we doubt, you're here
With your guidance, we can't run.

Elder Kettle
I hope you know, I care for both of you,
My little teacups...

Cuphead
I feel it's my task alone to fight those debtors up

Elder Kettle
My boys, I fear your task is all but doom,
Don't fret, my teacups...

Mugman
Why fret, we're both a team?

Elder Kettle & (Cuphead)
I will guide you if I can... (Elder, guide me if you can...)

Elder Kettle & (Mugman)
But you both must understand... (
Cuphead you must understand..)

Elder Kettle & (Cuphead)
There are dangers to atone... (Dangers that I must atone...)

Elder Kettle & (Mugman)
And you can't go out alone... (You can't do it all alone...)

Elder Kettle & (Mugman)
I will guide you, if I can... (
I will guide you if I can...)

Elder Kettle & (Cuphead)
Both of you must understand... (Mugman understand,)

Mugman, Cuphead, Elder Kettle, & Chorus
That danger is near, you cannot fear, my teacups.

(Applause has been made, as Cuphead, Mugman, and Elder Kettle exits the Magical Inkwell as it suddenly closes.)

ELDER KETTLE: I beg of you both...be careful out there.

MUGMAN: Cup, what was all that about?

CUPHEAD (Frowning): It made me realize...that I'm the one that caused this problem...shouldn't I be the one to beat those debtors? It's...it's just not fair for you to come with me, Mugman. Especially considering I dragged you into this mess. I should be the one fighting those guys.

(Elder Kettle intervenes.)

ELDER KETTLE: Cuphead...I understand that you believe you're at fault in this, but that doesn't mean you must do this alone.

MUGMAN: RIGHT! I'll be with you, one step of the way, bro! Together we'll stop those debtors flat!

CUPHEAD: Mugs c'mon...I'm the one that got you in this mess...a-and I can't bare putting you at risk...

ELDER KETTLE: You mustn't go alone for Mugman's sake. I understand that you care for him...of course I do, but Cuphead...you can't do this alone...

(Cuphead only looks in concern. He turns to Mugman who only smiles.)

MUGMAN: I'm here for ya buddy, every step of the way!

(Cuphead smiles warmly at the blue big-nosed mug.)

CUPHEAD: Thanks, Mugs. That really made me feel better, coming from you.

MUGMAN: Of course, Cup!

(Soon Elder Kettle approached the two.)

ELDER KETTLE: I'll think of a way for you to get out of that no good Devil's deal. For now, you'll have to play along with his little games. There are debtors here, all around Inkwell Glade, if you go through the Inkwell Forest, you'll be able to find a fellow that'll be sure to part with his contract, easy.

CUPHEAD: Really?!

ELDER KETTLE: Indeed. Goope LeGrande is the kindest blob in Inkwell Glade. Though he's a bit...snobbish, he'll part with his contract, kindly.

CUPHEAD: Golly, that's perfect! Thanks, Elder Kettle!

ELDER KETTLE: Of course, boys. Anything to make this brawl...a bit more easier. However, in order to get to Goope's clearing, you will need to traverse throughout the forest to find him. I fear the forest will be the hard part of this.

CUPHEAD: Understandable. We'll be careful out there, Elder Kettle!

(Elder Kettle gives a warm smile to the two boys. Soon, the boys made their way out the door.)

ELDER KETTLE: BE SAFE, BOYS!

MUGMAN: WE WILL! Thank you for everything, Elder Kettle!

(Cuphead and Mugman ran out of the stage, leaving Elder Kettle as he turned to the audience. The curtain closes behind Elder Kettle.)

ELDER KETTLE: Cuphead and Mugman, they're always such good souls. Sure they're easily tempted, but I'm always here to steer them on the right path. Unfortunately this time, I don't quite know if my guidance will assist them this time, and so...there they go, on an adventure...for their soul.


(Music starts to pick up, as the curtain rises again showing Cuphead and Mugman walking around Inkwell Glade. It was quite lively around the Glade as Cuphead and Mugman, simply traversed through the glade. Most recognized Cuphead and Mugman being the new errand boys on the block, while many are simply playing attention...to this beautiful shining day.)

Afternoon Glade
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. The Cast of Inkwell Glade

Chorus
The die has been cast, the story begins
Now it's a matter of who will win

Cuphead
Huh?

Elder Kettle
Cuphead and Mugman's venture embarked

Chorus
Just hear the birds all a singin' and the flowers bloomin'

Elder Kettle
Bloom my young little teacups, and fight off the dark

Chorus
Just see the Inkwell seas a shinin' and the Inkwell breeze a breezin'

Elder Kettle
I know they'll win the Devil's lil' game

Chorus
It's such a perfect, sunny, toony day throughout the Inkwell Glades
It's a toonerific gay ol' day through the afternoon glades

(As Cuphead and Mugman traversed through the singing ensamble of toons, Cuphead only turned to Mugman, who was looking at the sight without a care in the world. Cuphead only looked at him in concern.)

Cuphead
I hope he knows I care for him

Mugman
Just hear the birds all a singin' and the flowers bloomin'

Cuphead
Doom will shadow out quest, and I fear for him

Mugman
Just see the Inkwell seas a shinin' and the Inkwell breeze a breezin'

Cuphead
I will win the Devil's game, and protect him

Mugman
It's such a perfect, sunny, toony day throughout the Inkwell Glades

It's a toonerific gay ol' day through the afternoon glades

(As the two Cups and Mugs peruse through the glade village, they take notice of the Angel Fish...fishing at the docks as she sings her song.)

Angel
So come and jump in, all the fish are singin'

Quint
They'll never get gold, all the gold I'm bringin'

Angel & Quint
So much to do, so much wonders to see
The sun is shinin' and brimmin' as we dance with glee

Canteen Pot
Ya need a toonup, I will fix ya easy

Chip
Ya want some lumber, I can chop it peasy

Cantee Pot & Chip
So much to do, many things old and new, that happen in the gay ol' glade!

Chorus
So come and jump in, all the fish are singin'
So come and dig in, all the coins a bringin'

So much to do, so much wonders to see
The sun is shinin' and brimmin' as we dance with glee

Come get a toonup, we can fix ya easy
Come get a chop up, we can chop lumber peasy

So much to do, many things old and new, that will happen in the gay ol' glade!

(As the people of Inkwell Glade were singing, far in the forests stands a building...a completely red building in the shape of a dice. Watching in the window of the building is a familiar dice man in purple...watching, smirking.)

King Dice
The gamble's been made, let's see who wins...

Chorus
Just hear the birds all a singin' and the flowers bloomin'

King Dice
Bloomin' bright young boys, let's see if they'll win...

Chorus
Just see the Inkwell seas a shinin' and the Inkwell breeze a breezin'

King Dice
Let's see if they win the game so grim...

Chorus
It's such a perfect, sunny, toony day throughout the Inkwell Glades

King Dice
Let's see if they can win the game...

Chorus & King Dice
Through the afternoon glades

King Dice
I'll play by the rules, if Cupface plays fair
Or else it's either me or the Devil's snare

(Instrumental Interlude)

(Soon coming up to the two is Mac, a walking talking apple who comes to Cuphead and Mugman with three gold coins in his hands.)

CUPHEAD: Mac.

MAC: Mugman, Cuphead, You're really in for it now, huh? Well don't sweat it, I used to be the same way, always gettin' into trouble. Heck, I'm sure half the folks here got in trouble with the Devil too.

MUGMAN: The debtors, too?

MAC: Especially the debtors. Means you're really in for a bruising.' but hey, don't sweat.

(Soon, Mac pulls something out of his pocket.)

MAC: I know things are gonna be rough, but I want you to take these gold coins, for a lil' shopping at Porkrind's Emporium. I'm sure Porkrind will have somethin' that'll REALLY give those debtors what for.

MUGMAN: Gee, thanks, Mac!

MAC: Anything for you, boys.

(Interlude Ends)

(Soon, Cuphead, ignoring the crowd of citizens pointed to the map given by Elder Kettle. It's a map leading to the Inkwell Forest, just in front of him. Soon, he and Mugman narrowed their eyes.)

Cuphead
Looks like it's time the journey set sails
As the sun is shinin' bright and all the flowers bloomin'

Mugman
Bloom and blossom, we will! We'll together prevail
We'll fight an' fight through the daylight, and as the toons and birdies sing

Cuphead, Mugman, & Chorus
The die has been cast, the story begins
It all begins right here in this toonerific inky glade

Elder Kettle
Press on my teacups, pray that you'll come back soon

King Dice
Press on ya Cupheads, or you will meet with doom

Chorus
Cuphead and Mugman, everyone's waiting

Everyone in Inkwell Glade
Lovely Inkwell afternoons

CUPHEAD: That's where we've gotta go, huh?

MUGMAN: Inkwell Forest, indeed.

(They looked at each other and shook their heads in determination)

CUPHEAD: Let's do it.

(They soon raced inside the forest. The curtain closes.)


(After the applause, the curtain rises up, once again. Revealing the setting to be in some sort of forest. Cuphead and Mugman ran in stage.)

MUGMAN: Alright...just like Elder Kettle says, Goope LeGrande is just across this forest, in a clearing.

CUPHEAD: A brawl is surely brewing, Mugs, you ready?

MUGMAN(Narrowing his eyes, he smiles):You bet I am!

(Suddenly, a small blue ball with legs runs on stage, approaching the two. Soon, the two finally braved from within the Inkwell Forest as the forest creatures, not only attacked, but sang.)

Forest Follies
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Chorus

Chorus
This is how the story begins
The shine of the light, will bright the blight of their boon

This is how the ship has departed in
The darkest of trees, won't oversee the duo of toons

Not yet, will the story go fin
The journey departs, the journey starts with

These Brothers in arms
And with their charms
They must prevail,
For if they fail,

A battle will brew, horror ensue, the Devil himself will even kill them too

Bothersome Blueberry
Bum, bum, bum, bum!

Chorus
This is how the story begins
As the sun shines bright, here comes the blights towards the toons

This is how the ship departs
They've gotta dart, in the dark as the flowers bloom

Not yet will the story go fin,
The journey begins, come take a swing, it's time these

Brothers in arm
Show their charm
Fight and prevail
Or, if all else fail

A battle will brew, horror ensue, the Devil himself will come, too

Bothersome Blueberry
Bum, bum, bum...

Male Chorus
So much to do, so much to see, so much danger through the woodland trees

Female Chorus
Floral bouquet, they're at the fray, soon, those cups will have a time so gay

Cuphead
HEY!

Chorus
Will the porcelain protagonists prevail
Or will the porcelain protagonists fail
We all know the story, we all know the narrative
The mission we all know, is all too imperative

Female Chorus
Still, there's so much to do, so much to see, so much dangers through the woodland trees

Male Chorus
And there's so much to do, so much to shoot, from flowers, daisies, globs of goop

Chorus
Ever so wonderful, ever so mystical
Such an adventure, ever so whimsical
We know the story, and we know the narrative

Bothersome Blueberry
What about the end...

Chorus
What will happen to our friends?

This how the story begins
The shine of the light, will bright the blight of our boon

This is how the ship has departed in
The darkest of trees, won't oversee the duo of toons

Not yet, will the story go fin
The journey departs, the journey will start cause

They're Brothers in arms
And with their charms
They must prevail,
For if we they fail,

King Dice and Devil too
Will surely be our doom

Female Chorus & (Male Chorus)
There's a cornucopia of wonders here
With onions with tears (
Potatos with ears)

Female Chorus & (Male Chorus)
There's a cornucopia of things to shoot
There's glops of gloppy goop (
And dragons to boot)

Female Chorus & (Male Chorus)
There's a cornucopia of forest fiends
There's pickin' daisies (
And bothersome bees)

And walkin' sunnies (And bratty berries)

Chorus
Tons of forest follies

Male Chorus & (Female Chorus)
There's a cornucopia of plants galore
There's spiky sun spores (
And mushrooms and more)

Male Chorus & (Female Chorus)
There's a cornucopia of things to scorn
Like rotten acorns (
And flowers with thorns)

Male Chorus & (Female Chorus)
There's a cornucopia of forest fun
Projectiles vs guns (
The flowers on run)

And acorns that stun (It's only begun)

Chorus
It's a folly of fun

Cuphead
FUN!?

(Soon, the piano goes ominous as the two stood before a giant Acorn Maker, manned by another flower blocking their path. Just like before, they used all their knowledge from Elder Kettle, and quickly shot at the Acorn Maker, as the flower turns and turns to the crank, making more Aggravating Acorns fly at the two cups.)

DEADLY DAISY: heheh.

Deadly Daisy
I will put you cups and mugs back to your cupboard on the run!

Chorus
This is how the story begins
The shine of the light, will bright the blight of their boon

This is how the ship has departed in
The darkest of trees, won't oversee the duo of toons

Not yet, will the story go fin
The journey departs, the journey will start cause

They're Brothers in arms
And with their charms
They must prevail,
For if they fail,

A battle will brew, horror ensue, the Devil himself will even kill them too

(After the chorus line, the Acorn Maker gets destroyed making absolutely no more acorns fly out, and the Deadly Dasiy slumps down after the battle ends, who looks at Cuphead and Mugman dizzily.)

DEADLY DAISY: Whew...

(The chorus continues again, as Cuphead and Mugman kept on running, for they can see the light at the end of the platform. The end of this ferocious forest is just within their grasp.)

This is how the story begins
As the sun shines bright, here comes the blights towards the toons

This is how the ship departs
They've gotta dart, in the dark as the flowers bloom

Not yet will the story go fin,
The journey begins, take a swing, it's time these

Brothers in arm
Show their charm
Fight and prevail
Or, if all else fail

A battle will brew, horror ensue, the Devil himself will come, too

(They reached the end of the forest. Cuphead and Mugman smiled and jumped up high as they noticed they reached the end of the forest...now that that obstacles out of the way...they only have one more objection: get their first contract.)

Female Chorus
What will happen now?

Male Chorus
What will happen now?

Female Chorus
Will they follow Devil's call?

Male Chorus
Will they finally free us all?

Chorus
Will they save or will they stall?
What comes...next?

(The curtain closes as Cuphead and Mugman ran off the stage to the next location, out of the forest. Applause.)


(Soon, the arises once more, and the scene changes to a small wooden clearing. Resting at the center of the clearing is a small blue glop, yet it's larger than the Bothersome Blueberries. Cuphead and Mugman soon raced to the clearing. It's no doubt their first contract: Goope Le Grande.)

CUPHEAD: *pant* *pant* WE MADE IT! WE FINALLY MADE IT!

GOOPE LE GRANDE: And about time too. (Takes out a pocket watch.) I admit, you were almost a bit early.

MUGMAN: You were expecting us?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Yep, and I know about your game, boys. You're here for my soul contract aren't you, curtesy of the Devil himself, right?

MUGMAN: You already know?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Already? Boys, it's the talk of the town, of course I do.

CUPHEAD: (Takes out the Devil's Parchment.) Goope Le Grande, by order of the Devil, we come to your for your soul contract. It says here you made a deal with the Devil to make yourself bigger and smaller at will, and left him immediately when the day came to pay your debt.

GOOPE LE GRANDE: (Rolling his eyes, whist maintaining his smile) You boys really scraped the bottom of the barrel, didn't ya? But, I digress. (He reaches his pocket and hands the two his soul contract) whatever makes Fire-Pants happy, and whatever gets you boys outta his debt, quicker.

MUGMAN: You'll give us the contract, like that? Wow...you really are nice, just like Elder Kettle said.

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Kettle sent ya, huh? He's quite the wisdom pot, I'll tell ya that much. (He gives Cuphead his contract)

CUPHEAD: Our first contract...and we didn't have to fight! I never thought our first contract would be that easy...maybe...just maybe if we tell those debtors our deal, they may go easy on us, too?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: (Snickers)

CUPHEAD: What's so funny, Goope?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Pffff...it's just that, c'mon, Cuphead you're better than that. You REALLY think those debtors will give ya the brush, like I did?

CUPHEAD: Well...that would be a bit a lot of me to think that to be honest...

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Trust me when I say this: I know half of those debtors to tell you they won't bargain as easy as me, and not even as close as generous. If you try to bargain, or ask nicely, they'll really turn ya into nothin' but cup shards.

MUGMAN: Aw.

CUPHEAD: (Ponders) Goope...you know more about those debtors than we ever would, and Elder Kettle's advise wasn't as...insightful to say the least. Do YOU have anything to say that'll help us?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: (Muses) Kettle's wise, no doubt the Wisest in Inkwell Glade, but I'll have to agree that you'll need a bit more knowledge from a debtor. Sooo...who am I to be the showboat? (Goope turns into a small tugboat, then back to normal.)

MUGMAN: Wow, thanks Goope, that's mighty sweet of ya!

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Anytime, ya get a contract for free, and some battle lessons...for free. A swell deal if I'd say so myself.

CUPHEAD: Better deal than what the Devil was dishing out...

GOOPE LE GRANDE: (Smiling whilst narrowing his eyes.) Ya boys ready?

(Cuphead and Mugman narrowed their eyes and prepared for action.)

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Good. LET'S GET READY TO WHALOP!

A Ruse of an Ooze
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Goope Le Grande & Chorus

(Music Starts)

ANNOUNCER: A brawl is surely brewing...NOW GO!

Goope Le Grande
Goope, Goope, Goope, Goope, Goope, Goope, Goope, GOOPE!

Welcome all you boys and girls, to the goopiest of the goop
I ain't one to mess around, They'll send ya to the coup

Word's already spreadin' round it's contracts that you want,
Well, you better get ready boys, cause I ain't one to flaunt

I'm the goopiest of them all, and I know I'll surely have a ball
It's time you Cupheads learned what comes this way, or else you're gonna fall!

You only gotta prove your might
And put one good, goopy fight
I know you boys can be our light
But ya need some training, before ya set things right

Inkewell Isle's full of all things, short things, tall things, topsy turvey!
Strange potatoes, talking blimps, obstacles so crazy, curvey!

You gotta be prepared, you see,
So c'mon boys fight with me!

If you want those soul contract,
You gotta prove you're both so GOOPY!

Goopy glime,
A face like mine
There's no crime
All the time!

Be the winner
No beginner
Things'll get grimmer
SO BE THE WINNER!

It takes more than mere projections, comes down to your true objection
Learn your power moves, I'll tell ya kids, the have their use

Your health's important, more than you both know
Get steady boys it's one hell of a show

Keep that knowledge, keep it twice, or else you'll really pay the price
I have hope, and I have faith, that you'll be the ones to end this game

CUHPEAD: Are we done?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: We're not finished yet.

(Soon Goope Le Grande takes out a small pill. To Cuphead and Mugman's surprise, the small blob grew in size)

If you're gonna set things right, know that the debtors will really give you a FIGHT!

Don't think, you cups and mugs will pull this at a hitch, I'll tell ya!
Things will sure get really bad, all favored by that nasty lich!

Power-hungry debtors transform at any hour,
I'll tell you this, they'll pummel you good, with all their nasty, toony, power!

Goope Le Grande & Chorus
I/he will help you boys, for I will teach you that this day!
A lesson must be learned, boys before you go a stray,

We debtors are all one in the same, thinkin' we'd escape
The Devil will only follow us, so long as he has his name

But, I/he's the goopiest of them all, retire of my powers all,
But before my power's taken away, you gotta learn else you'll both fall!

Goope Le Grande
Later things will soon get rough, boys
Out from here, things will be tough boys

Things will always be the same, we're all just trapped inside the Devil's GAME!
We're always only losin' hope, thinkin' we won't ever escape his grasp
But hope has brightly shined upon us, and hopefully we'll leave his clasp

Ya need to learn a thing or two,
Or else you'll both be sent to your doom
So c'mon boys, prove to me
That you can set all Inkwell free!

Goope Le Grande & Chorus
You only gotta prove your might
And put one good, goopy fight
I know you boys can be our light
But ya need some training, before ya set things right

Inkewell Isle's full of all things, short things, tall things, topsy turvey!
Strange potatoes, talking blimps, obstacles so crazy, curvy!

You gotta be prepared, you see,
So c'mon boys fight with me!

If you want my soul contract,
You gotta prove you're both so GOOPY!

(Soon Cuphead and Mugman were starting to get their grasp at their 'training' as Goopy was starting to get dizzy)

Chorus
Ya gotta be a winner
No room for beginners
Gotta swing you sinners
Or they'll eat you for dinner!

MUGMAN: Goope are you alright?

Goope Le Grande
I admit, that I'm quite shocked, there's dedication in your eyes
You're really tough, if you just try, you might just take him by surprise

Yes, I admit, if time goes by, you might have a chance to beat this guy
The Devil himself could be surprise, you might just beat him and his lies!

It's not enough, if you succeed if you only fight gainst me.
For there's a coornicopia of monsters, beasties, powerful beings!

Hey listen, cups maybe if we just take a break...
I need some energy and sleep I need to take...

HA!

I might've gotten you, the Goope never rests
I won't just give up, you still have to fight the best

There's only a chance, at a single glance that you'll...
Be duped if you're caught off guard, and are made the Devil's fool!

My friends...I feel the battle's drawn, the end so near.
My friends...I think the show will end, no need to fear

Goope Le Grande, is great at setting goopy scenes
And yet here you are, my second stage, alive and well, for can't you see?

It might not be enough...
But you gotta stay tough...
And fight for you and me!

Chorus
Goopy glime,
A face like mine
There's no crime
All the time!

Be the winner
No beginner
Things'll get grimmer
SO BE THE WINNER!

(Cuphead and Mugman kept firing.)

Goope Le Grande
(Talking)Ok...Okk ma-

(Suddenly a tombstone flew down on Goope Le Grand, making Cuphead and Mugman look and mourned. The Tombstone began dashing forth towards the two, taking them by surprise as they ran and fire for their lives.)

Chorus
Goopy glime,
F
ace like mine
There's no crime
All the time!

Beat this slime
Be devine
Be sublime!

Goope Le Grande's Tombstone
ADRENALINE!

Don't think that I'll be bested, Don't stop, ya pests!
I'm pretty angry now and, I will not be best!
These monsters will have third forms, so comes the REAL test!
Don't think that I will stop now! The undead CAN'T REST!

I'm the goopiest of them all
Even in my death, I'LL NEVER FALL!

So COME on Cuphead, BEAT THIS SLIME!
I'LL BE BOUNCY ALL THE TIME!
AND DON'T FORGET YOUR LIFE'S ON THE LINE!

(They fired, and fired, with all their might until soon...)

Chorus
Goopy glime,
F
ace like mine
There's no crime
All the time!

Female Chorus & (Male Chorus)
Beat this slime (Beat this slime)
Be divine (Be divine)
Time to shine (Time to shine)
CAUSE ALL'S ON THE (All on)

Chorus
LINE~!

ANNOUNCEMENT: KNOCKOUT!

(Grande's tombstone was now split into two, and x's where his eyes used to be. They defeated the goop monster. Cuphead and Mugman walks to the split tombstone as they looked in concern.)

CUPHEAD: G-Goopy?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: (Strained)D-Don't worry f-fellas, I ain't one to flaunt so easily...I am the one and only Goope Le Grand, aren't I?

MUGMAN: Y-you're a tombstome...

GOOPE LE GRANDE: I'm slime, my friends...you can't kill slime.

CUPHEAD: Uh...thanks...I guess. Did we do good...?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Sure! You guys did a good job on me. I think you're ready to handle the rest of Inkwell Glade.

MUGMAN: Thanks, for the approval, Goope! Even though...we kinda messed you up.

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Forgettaboutit. I haven't had that much fun in ages. Anyway on to business: that no good Devil's lackey, King Dice will be the one collecting the soul contracts on his behalf. You'll need to get your gloves on all of them, if you want to pass to the next island.

CUPHEAD: Right. Understandable, Any idea where to find the next contract?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: The glade should open up a garden just pass the clearing outta this forest. Your next contract is The Root Pack, fightin' veggie fellows that won't part with their contract easily.

CUPHEAD: Right, we'll keep an eye out on those veggies, thanks Cuphead.

MUGMAN: (Looks in concern) A-Are you sure you're alright? Should we help him, Cup?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Don't worry, the music really got me going, so I had what was coming for me, anyway. Just go boys, the rest of Inkwell Isle is waiting for you.

(Reluctant, Mugman went along with Cuphead out of the clearing, leaving the tombstone split, Goope Le Grand.)

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Hehe. Y'know, those boys ain't half bad. It sucks for them to be on the Devil's side...but still, I have some faith that they'll do the right thing...sooner or later.


(After Goope gives out a smile, the curtain closes, once more. Applause. Soon, the scene opens up with garden background, and on the stage are 3 veggies having their conversation: one tomato, one carrot, and one onion.)

WEEPY: OH! Gg-g-g-g-guy! I-It's Cuphead and Mugman!

MOETATO: Oh? Wonder what those little cups are doin' out and about?

PSYCARROT: Oh, what does it matter? I'm sure those two are just playin' around with us, or somethin' they're fine.

(Soon, running towards the veggies come Cuphead and Mugman, themselves.)

PSYCARROT: See? I told ya they're alright.

WEEPY: Oh-oh w-well I don't know, they were sure runnin' fast tho...

MOETATO: Would you relax already?

PSYCARROT (Giving out a chuckled): Heh. Anyway, how can I help you boys this fine day?

(Cuphead and Mugman looked in distraught. Cuphead gives out a sigh and takes out the Devil's parchment.)

CUPHEAD (Sighs) Sorry boys, but you've got a debt to pay.

THE ROOT PACK: (Surprised.) WHAT?!

MUGMAN: Oh...I'm sorry fellas, it's j-

PSYCARROT: (Narrowing his eyes) Let me guess...you boys meddled with the Devil, didn't you?

MUGMAN: Well...

MOETATO: (Narrowing his eyes) And I suppose that ol' slime bucket Goope LeGrande handed his contract over, oh so easily, huh?

WEEPY: (Shivering, yet still narrowing his eyes in determination) W-Well sorry boys, b-b-but if you're not getting our contracts without a f-f-fight!

PSYCARROT: That's right. WEEPY! Turn up the music box! Play me...Botanic Panic.

WEEPY: ooooh! That's my favorite!

(Soon, Weepy takes out a large olden music radio. As the Root Pack leaped down a hole in the carrot patch, Weepy plays the record in the radio as music begins to play. Chaotic music was being heard, when Moetato popped up in front of Cuphead and Mugman, from the ground.)

(Music Plays)

Botanic Panic
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. The Root Pack

MOETATO: Heheh, A brawl is truly brewin' boys...LET'S GO!

Moe-Tato
Welcome to the show
It's the Root Pack

In the soil, we grow,
We veggies fight back

You Cupheads want to brawl
For our contract?

Well, come give it your all,
Cause you will get sacked

None can ever fight against us
None can ever win against us

It's a veggie show,
WE'RE THE ROOT PACK!

The Root Pack
Welcome to the show
And we're the Root Pack

From the soil, we grow,
We veggies fight back

You Cupheads want to brawl
For our contract

Well, come give it your all
Cause you will get sacked

None can ever fight against us
None can ever win against us

It's a veggie show,
AND WE'RE THE ROOT PACK!

Moe-Tato
From the dirt, and from the worms, I'm the toughest and the most firm
None can beat this sturdy potato, Moe-tato

Good day for a swell battle, boys will get rushed to the cattle
You will feel the underground, Cause Moe-Tato's back in the saddle

You'll get buttered, you'll get mashed
You'll get bruised, and battered, and smashed
None can ever get past me, and win against our GREAT ROOT BASH!

Weepy, Psycarrot
Welcome to the show

Moe-Tato
I ain't so sweet!

Weepy & Psycarrot
In the soil we grow

Moe-Tato
Ain't got no half-baked feats

Weepy & Psycarrot
You Cupheads wanna brawl?

Moe-Tato
I will make ya Cupheads chip

Weepy & Psycarrot
Well, come give it your all!

Moe-Tato
So I can serve ya with some dip!

Weepy & Psycarrot
None can ever fight against us

Moe-Tato
None can EVER win gainst me!

Weepy & Psycarrot
It's a Veggie Show

Moe-Tato
CAUSE WE'RE THE ROOT PACK!

The Root Pack
Here amongst the gardens
Gardens botanic

You can't stop the Root Pack
Time ya both panic

You can't stop the Root Pack
Toughest of the greens

You can't stop the Root Pack
Meanest of the mean!

None can ever win against us
You won't EVER win against us

You can't beat the Root Pack
In this Veggie Show!

Psycarrot
SWITCH!

(Instrumental Interlude)

(Soon Moe-Tato got the signal, and just as Cuphead and Mugman tried to make one last blast at Moe-Tato, he quickly escaped underground. Soon, popping up in the middle of the two comes Weepy, who only looked at them in anxiety)

Weepy
Uh...Uh...HEY! I-I-I'M GONNA GET YOU!

(Interlude Ends)

I-I'M NOT NICE!
I-I'M NOT KIND!

I'll teach you both some manners, soon
And take you to that s-scary buffoon!

W-We'll get ya it's hopeless with the three of us
You Cupheads d-don't stand a chance we'll take ya straight to the dust!

The Root Pack
Here amongst the gardens
Gardens botanic

You can't stop the Root Pack
Time ya both panic

You can't stop the Root Pack
Toughest of the greens

You can't stop the Root Pack
Meanest of the mean!

None can ever win against us
You won't EVER win against us

You can't beat the Root Pack
In this Veggie Show!

(Soon Weepy began swelling up in tears, and the tears were falling down towards Cuphead and Mugman, damaging them a bit, as Moe-Tato and Psycarrot continued to sing for the crying onion)

Weepy, (Moe-Tato, & Psycarrot)
A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (He's meaner than shallots)
A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (He ain't a sweet onion)
A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (He's meaner than scallions)
A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (He ain't a pearl onion)

A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (He ain't one to leek)
A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (You Cups are too meek)
A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (And Weepy ain't Yellow)
A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (The handsomest fellow)

A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (You Cupheads are fried)
A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (For something you've stride)
A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (We've got Weepy's back)
A-WAAAAAAAAAH! (CAUSE NO ONE MESSES WITH THE ROOT PACK!)

Psycarrot
SWITCH!

(Instrumental Interlude)

(As his cue to leave, before Cuphead and Mugman could finish poor Weepy, he jumped down the hole, as Cuphead and Mugman sighed in relief. However, something popped up from the ground, even more vicious that Weepy or Moe-Tato, they now take on their leader: Psycarrot.)

Psycarrot
I'm lean.

I'm mean.
AND I'M THE ONE FULL OF BETA-CAROTENE!

(Interlude Ends)

THE SHOW IS JUST BEGINNIN!'

Moe-Tato & Weepy
Gardens botanic

Psycarrot
There's no chance for ya winnin!'

Moe-Tato & Weepy
Time ya both panic

Psycarrot
You Cups are ALL TOO SLOW!

Moe-Tato & Weepy
And weak against the toughest of the greens

Psycarrot
We will always grow!

Moe-Tato & Weepy
Meanest of the mean!

Psycarrot
YOU'LL NEVER WIN!

Moe-Tato & Weepy
Chances of winning, ARE SO GRIM!

The Root Pack
You can't beat the Root Pack
BRINGIN' ONE HELL OF A SHOW!

Psycarrot
You boys are all but chums, you boys are all but dumb
You're boys are really askin' for one hell of a veggie brawlin'

You never should've meddled, with King Dice OR the Devil
Or let alone, pull us all, one by one makin' us fall

My blood's really boilin' for all that you're soilin'
You've made a deal, you've made a truce, and now ALL Inkwell Hell breaks lose

Run back to Elder Kettle, end this stupid quest
It's merely hopeless to even try, it'll be a blood fest

You'll never get a single chance, to fight the debtors all
A fool's errand it is at best, you boys will only fall

We won't be fear by Dice & Devil, you Cupheads soon are gonna get leveled
You've made a deal, you've set the trap, and now you've both ensured your DIRT NAPS!

Weepy
The soil we grow

Moe-Tato
We'll give you a show!

Psycarrot
The toughest of greens
WE'LL SHOW WHO'S MEAN!

The Root Pack
We're...
The Root...
Pack~

(The song soon ended with...)

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

CUPHEAD: We did it!

(Psycarrot was dizzily defeated, as he began spinning down, and down until he met with underground, as if he himself was a drill.)

WEEPY: Nooooo, Psycarrot!

(Moe-Tato climbed back up the surface, and glared at Cuphead and Mugma.)

MOE-TATO: Grrrr...LEMME AT EM! I WANNA GO AGAIN! They got those magic guns from hat stinkin' Devil, I SWEAR! They won't be last without em, THEY'RE CHEATIN!

PSYCARROT: Let them go, boys.

(Everyone was silenced as Weepy and Psycarrot popped back up to ground.)

PSYCARROT: Those projections of them...they aren't from the Devil.

MOE-TATO: Wha?

PSYCARROT: Seems they got it from Elder Kettle himself. Heh, that oldie's as kind as I thought...

(The carrot soon turns to the two porceline boys.)

PSYCARROT: You boys are stronger than I imagine. I can see why Kettle and Goope vouches for ya. Hmm...maybe you can be stronger.

MOE-TATO: Y-YOU'RE JUST GONNA LET THEM WIN, PSY?!

PSYCARROT: Yep. Seems their beating, gave me a realization point. Perhaps...we've gotten too cozy with our powers. We've meddled with the Devil long ago, did we not?

WEEPY: B-B-B-BUT WEEPY! T-t-t-t-they're gonna give our contracts to the Devil!

CUPHEAD: Guys...please. We really don't want to do this, either. But, I promise you, w-we won't give your contracts to the Devil. We probably have to save our skins, but, I'll think of something. I promise.

MUGMAN: Together we will, buddy!

(Mugman places his gloved hand on Cuphead's back.)

PSYCARROT: Whatever it is you'll think of, Cuphead, I'm sure it'll be for the greater good.

(Psycarrot reached from his carrot pocket, and soon takes out a contract signed by all 3 of the Root Pack. He gives the contract to Cuphead.)

MOE-TATO: Are ya sure you don't wanna give them just ONE more beating?

PSYCARROT: I know when I'm beat, boys...and I've been beet.

WEEPY: Was that a beet pun?

PSYCARROT: What I do, of course. Now then, If you tumbled with us, then it's clear you can proceed on. Go fourth to the Nightfly Night Club, you're lucky that it came today. Speak to the bartender, Porkrind, and I assure you he'll make sure to give your projector beams a little umph.

MUGMAN: Golly, thanks Psycarrot!

WEEPY & MOE-TATO: Psy!

PSYCARROT: Enough, I don't wanna hear it, boys. Cup and Mugman, they have some moxie in 'em. I'll assure you that. If they defeated us and Goope...

CUPHEAD: And went through Inkwell Forest to get to him,

PSYCARROT: AND get through Inkwell Forest to get to him, then I think I see a bright future ahead of them. (he says smirking warmly at the cups) Now get outta here, I have faith in you.

WEEPY: (Smiles nervously) I-If Psycarrot has faith in you, t-t-then so do I. Good luck Cuphead, and Mugman!

MOE-TATO: (Reluctant) Hmph. Don't screw this up for us or I'll REALLY mash ya down into cup cracks, if the Devil hasn't made silverware outta you, yet.

CUPHEAD: N-noted, hehe.

(And thus, their business is done here in the ACME Gardens, as Cuphead and Mugman have been given their second contract from the Root Pack. The curtain closes as the two cups make their way to the Nightfly Night Club, for their next contracts. What dangers come ahead? Who knows...)


(The curtain rises, as Cuphead and Mugman were now inside the Night Club. No doubt seeing all the flies men, and women, smokin' dancin' having a gay old time. Soon, they looked ahead and noticed the bartender an eyepatch and clothing, sporting pig...the only pig in the club.)

MUGMAN: You think that's him?

CUPHEAD: Mugs, c'mon. He's the only pig in the night club.

(Cuphead and Mugman approaches the bartender as a fly droopily walks off the chair.)

MUGMAN: Excuse me, but are you Mr. Porkrind?

PORKRIND: (snorts) We I ain't no flyhind, kid, considering I'm the only PORK in the club.

CUPHEAD: (sighs) told ya.

(Mugman looks at him dismissively.)

MUGMAN: In any case, can you help us out? We were sent here b-

PORKRIND: (snorts) Ya seem pretty young to be in here, kids. No offense, but this is a clip-joint, not some playground or lunchroom. I don't serve itty, bitty teacups, like you. (He smirks as he switches his eyepatch to his other eye.) Then again...

CUPHEAD: (Looking in nervous.) Then again...what?

PORKRIND: I wouldn't really call you teacups, since you boys are always lookin' for trouble. After all, you ARE the Devil's little errand boys, ain't ya? heheh (snorts)

(Cuphead and Mugman gulps in concern as immediately the music stops, and everyone turned to the two.)

MUGMAN: Uh-oh...

MALE FLY: Wait...you're the ones? The cups that are snatching contracts by the Devil's order?

CUPHEAD: (Whispers...) Mugs...don't say anyt-

MUGMAN: Yes.

CUPHEAD: OH SWEET TEACUPS WHY'D YOU DO THAT?!

(Silence emanates the room...)

FEMALE FLY: THEY'VE COME AT LAST!

(Suddenly from silence, the night club was now bursting with cheers of almost every fly in here, aside from Porkrind who was only chuckling.)

PORKRIND: Seems you were expected boys, heh.

MUGMAN: Uh...we were?

PORKRIND: Of course. Everyone here's actually been expectin' the Devil's little playset to make their way in here. But...before I prattle on, you boys look thirsty, huh?

CUPHEAD: I don't know about thirsty, Porkrind, but listen, we're on a tight s-

PORKRIND: Aw c'mon...

(Soon symbols tapped, and then Porkrind begins to sing.)

Have a Drink, Ya Bums
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Porkrind

Porkrind
So what's the hurry, no need to worry ya bums
Before ya scurry, come have yourself a drink

Ya little teacups, no need to step up, ya bums
No need to be abrupt you all among friends

Come have some glasses, Some pints amasses, for ya bums
No need to pass up, no need to be abrupt

No need to think, ya little bums
Come have a drink, ya little bums
I'm sure ya have some coins to spend

Before ya walk out, and before ya belt out, ya bums
I'll tell ya no doubt, I have much for you

Ya bums can use a quart, don't think to retort
I won't stop until you're both satisfied

So take a seat, bums, some drinks you've gotta meet
I have some coffee, sugar, hold off the rum

I'll satisfy ya, little bums
There's no denyin' little bums
I wonder what you would prefer

Have a spread shot, no need to dread shot
Perhaps some roundabout, beyond a shadow of a doubt

Feelin' lazy, have some chaser go plain crazy
And have a pint of lobber, really give ya boys a clobber

Or have a health up, healthy for ya mugs and cups
Maybe a dash of charge, goin' big or goin' LARGE!

I'll tell ya cups I got the stuff
Exceedingly no such thing as enough, ya bums

Cuphead
Mugs, let's just go...

Porkrind
No need to hurry, no need to worry ya bums
Before ya scurry, come stay and have a drink

Ya little teacups, no need to step up, ya bums
No need to be abrupt you all among friends

Come have some glasses, Some pints amasses, for ya bums
No need to pass up, no need to be abrupt

No need to think, ya little bums
Come have a drink ya little bums
I'm sure ya have some, coins to spend

Before ya walk out, before ya belt out, ya bums
I'll tell ya no doubt, I have much for you

Ya bums can use a quart, don't think to retort
I ain't stoppin' until you're satisfied

So take a seat, bums, it's all on the house, ya bums
I have some coffee, sugar, hold off the rum

I'll satisfy ya little bums
There's no denyin' little bums
You'll be satisfied.

(Cuphead reluctantly sighed as he placed a total of 8 coins for him and Mugs. He pointed to the green and red bottles.)

CUPHEAD: (sighs) Fine. I got some of these from Mac, and there were a few lying around Inkwell Forest. If I buy the Spread drink, and Chaser drink for me and Mugs, will ya butt out and let us leave?

PORKRIND: (snorts) A wise decision, Cuphead.

(Cuphead gave Porkrind the needed payment. The hog snatches the coins, and pours the chaser and spread drinks on Cuphead and Mugman's cups amidst their milk. The two began to shiver and shake.)

MUGMAN: Golly, Cup...I feel kinda funny...

CUPHEAD: (Looking in annoyance at Porkrind.) Porkrind, what's the big idea.

PORKRIND: (smirks & snorts) Relax will ya? It's all on the house, kid, like I said. Ya wanna see just what I put in em? (snorts)

CUPHEAD: BAH! This is just a waste of time. C'mon, Mugman, we've got some contracts to get until midnight, remember?

MUGMAN: Right-o. Thanks for the drinks though, Porkrind.

(Cuphead began storming to the front door in frustrastion as Mugman followed. Porkrind only smirked as he set his next words in the script:)

PORKRIND: Aww, ya really need to go so soon, boys? You're gonna miss out on all the night club fun. Somethin' let's just say, one of your debtors would favor?

(Cuphead stopped mid-way as Mugman bumped into him.)

MUGMAN: The Devil's debtors?

PORKRIND: That's right.

(Cuphead and Mugman return to the bartender's table in intrigue.)

CUPHEAD: (Looking in suspicion) And just what do you know about one of the debtors, Porky? Unless you're one of them?

PORKRIND: (snorts) Not me, kid. The manager of this night club used to be a fly himself, soon some two toads showed 'em who's boss, and kicked him out. Now they're the very managers of the nightclub.

CUPHEAD: Who's they?

(SLAM! The front door was slammed open, silencing the night club music. The flies groveled in fear as two figures blacken by the sunset stood in the front door. One taller than the other.)

MUGMAN: uh-oh...

PORKRIND: (snorts & smirks) Them's they.

Clip-Joint Calamity
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Cuphead, Mugman, Ribby, Croaks, & Fly Chorus

(Cuphead and Mugman looked to see they were two gigantic frogs...well a frog and a toad. As the toads noticed Cuphead and Mugman at the bartender's table, they walked up to them as new and more sinister music played. The flies in the night club began to sing.)

Fly Chorus
A brawl is brewin' tension ensuin'
It's the Frog Bros, it's Ribby and it's Croaks

Brawl is brewin' tension ensuin'
It's the Frog Bros, it's Ribby and it's Croaks

PORKRIND: Look at that, looks like it's break time. (snorts) good luck, heh.

(The large brown toad wearing red tights smirked as the frog wearing white tights followed suit, as the two frogs simply sneered at the two cups. Cuphead narrows his eyes as the two were now faced to face with the two.)

Ribby
Well, well, well, look what we have here,
Somethin' I sneer, it's the Devil's little errand boys.

Croaks
Right o' Ribby it's these two, such queers

The Devil's little errand boys are takin' their fight in here.

Fly Chorus
A brawl is brewin' tension ensuin'
It's the Frog Bros, it's Ribby and it's Croaks

Brawl is brewin' tension ensuin'
It's the Frog Bros, it's Ribby and it's Croaks

Croaks
They're here for our contracts

Ribby
Seems it's fair that it's time to attack

Ribby & Croaks
C'mon Cups give it all ya got
You want our contracts, then get ready to drop

Ribby, Croaks, & Fly Chorus
(They)We ain't one to trifle with,
Y'know our(their) feats are all but myth

Croaks
So, C'mon Cup, let's see if you're tough
If you've got the stuff, then come along and fight with me

Ribby
C'mon Mug, see if you've got the stuff

Get ready for a world of hurt, get ready for DEFEAT!

Ribby & Croaks, & (Fly Chorus)
We're the toughest of the tough! We can't be beat, prepare for defeat! (FIGHT, CUPHEAD!)
We're the toughest of the tough! We can't be beat, prepare for defeat! (GET 'EM, MUGS!)

Cuphead
C'mon, Mugs, we'll stop these thugs!
We're the roughest, toughest of Ink Isle!

They'll face defeat, we won't be beat!
We'll prove to them we're the roughest, toughest cups

MUGMAN: (Smiling with glee) RIGHT-O! I'll fight with ya, Cup! I'm ready for the challenge!

CROAKS: Confident are we, ya stupid cups? Well, let's see where that bravado gets ya, this time around.

RIBBY: Fight with me, Muggy, see if you can hold water to that, huh?!

(Ribby rolls across the battlefield as Cuphead and Mugman jumped away from the frog. Soon Ribby was now in the opposite direction of Croaks.)

Fly Chorus
C'mon Cup, C'mon Mugs,
You can stop those thieves and thugs

C'mon Cup, C'mon Mugs,
You can stop those thieves and thugs

(Cuphead and Mugman soon projected some...strangely new projectiles towards Croaks as he was spinning, as if he was a windmill, as Ribby projected out some energy balls as Croaks was pushing the two cups in. The flies began to clap their hands at the music.)

Ribby & Croaks
You better press your luck!

Cuphead, Mugman & (Fly Chorus)
You better try your luck! (STOP THEM!)

Ribby, Croaks, & (Fly Chorus)
You boys are outta luck!
(WIN THIS!)

Cuphead & Mugman
WE'LL DANCE WITH LADY LUCK!

Ribby
Do you really think you boys can handle the two?
Ya really think we won't squish the both of you?

Croaks
Do you really think you boys can win this fight?
Well lemme tell ya Cups, your 'customers' won't have our froggy might

Cuphead
We'll win this tussle for your souls
It's a tussle that we will win!

Mugman
We'll trounce we'll triumph
Against the likes of you, we'll take your contract and win!

Fly Chorus
Those two, they're crude and bad!

Ribby & Croaks
Calamity is comin' for ya

Fly Chorus
Battle born, from the same Lilly Pad

Ribby & Croaks
You'll never hide your doubt, you know you'll both get snap!

Fly Chorus
Those two, they're crude and bad!

Cuphead & Mugman
Cups/Mugs and I will show you the toughest of the tough

Fly Chorus
Battle born, from the same Lilly Pad

Cuphead & Mugman
And then we'll set them free, cause Ribby and Croaks will get snapped!

Fly Chorus(Overlapping)
C'mon Cup, C'mon Mugs,
You can stop those thieves and thugs

Croaks & Cuphead
C'mon Cup/Croaks, let's see if(we'll prove that) you're tough
If you've(That we've) got the stuff, then/so come along and fight with me

Fly Chorus(Overlapping)
C'mon Cup, C'mon Mugs,
You can stop those thieves and thugs

Ribby & Mugman
C'mon Mug/Ribby, let me see if you're(I will show that I'm) tough,
Get ready for a world of hurt(brawlin'), get ready for DEFEAT!

(Brass Interlude)

(As the instrumental brass were going ham Cuphead and Mugman, and Ribby & Croaks were fighting with all their might. Fists vs magical projectors. They've also been going ham)

(Interlude Ends)

Croaks
I admit that you Cupheads are tough
But you'll NEVER be tough enough!
C'mon Ribby, time to Slotter!

Ribby
Yeah-heh, the Slotter.

Male Fly
THEY'RE GOING FOR THE SLOTTER!

Cuphead
What's the Slotter?

Ribby & Croaks
You'll see.

(As the crowd mumbled in fear Ribby opened his mouth, and Croaks wheel barrowed to his brother's mouth.)

Flies
The Slotter comes, the Slotter comes
The Slotter comes, the Slotter comes,
THE SLOTTER COMES, THE SLOTTER COMES!

(Suddenly to Cuphead and Mugman's surprise, the two combined and turned into a slot machine as it looked menacingly as Ribby and Croaks taunted them in unison.)

Ribby & Croaks
It's a pity you Cupheads went for broke,
But NOW IT'S TIME YOU CUPHEADS GET CROAKED!

Fly Chorus
FIGHT EM CUPS!

Ribby & Croaks
C'mon Cup/Mugs, let's see if you're tough
If you've got the stuff, then come along and fight with US!

C'mon Mugman/Cuphead, let me see if you're tough,
Get ready for a world of hurt, GET READY TO BITE THE DUST!

Ribby & Croaks
C'mon Cup/Mugs, let's see if you're tough
If you've got the stuff, then come along and fight with US!

Mugman & Cuphead(Overlapping)
C'mon, Mugs/Cup, we'll stop these thugs(trounce the, up)!
We're the roughest, toughest of Ink Isle!

All Flies
C'MON FIGHT~!

Ribby & Croaks
C'mon Mugman/Cuphead, let me see if you're tough,
Get ready for a world of hurt, GET READY TO BITE THE DUST!

Cuphead & Mugman(Overlapping)
They'll face defeat, we won't be beat!
We'll prove to them we're the roughest, toughest cups!

(Instrumental Interlude)

(It was a merciless two vs t-or...one? battle between the Froggy brothers, and Cuphead and Mugman as platforms of tigers, bulls, and snakes flew throughout the tavern and Cuphead and Mugman were firing mercilessly It was only a matter of time until a knockout was seen. Soon the two noticed they were able to overpower Ribby & Croaks, as the flies cheered when the two cups made one last special attack, to finish this battle off.

(Interlude Ends)

Cuphead, Mugman, & Fly Chorus
I think we all know who's the tough of the tough!

Announcer
KNOCKOUT!

(With X's on the eyes of the slot machine, it begins to shake and shake with gears flying out until finally...

BOOM!

On the ground are the pain-stricken Ribby and Croaks. Soon the night club began booming with cheers. The managers they were forced upon have FINALLY been defeated by Cuphead and Mugman.

FEMALE FLY: LET THE FIRWORKS FLY, THEY SQUISHED THEM!

MALE FLY: They maybe the Devil's puppets, but they're no doubt the kindest cups in the shelf!

OTHER MALE FLY: GIVE THREE CHEERS FOR CUPHEAD AND MUGMAN! HIP-HIP...

FLIES: HOORAY!

(Soon Cuphead and Mugman stepped in front of the injured frog and extended his hand. There's only one thing the two want from the toads. Croaks growled.)

CROAKS: FINE! Take your stupid contract, we know when we're beaten!

(Cuphead takes the contract out of Croak's gloved hand. It was their third contract, signed by the Devil, on behalf of both Ribby and Croaks.)

CUPHEAD: That's all I need. A pleasure fighting the...'toughest of the tough'

RIBBY & CROAKS: (Growling and mumbling in frustration.)

(As the flies were cheering, Cuphead and Mugman then soon turned to Porkrind who only snorted, and smirked at the two cups.)

PORKRIND: (snorts) congrats boys. You sure gave those toads a beat down, huh?

CUPHEAD: (looking in confusion) Porkrind...what was in those drinks? Our projectiles...actually got a bit stronger than what Elder Kettle gave us!

PORKRIND: Heh, well who am I do deny my hoof in helpin' my customers? It's a little something I especially gotta ship just for you. You can thank those veggies.

MUGMAN: The Root Pack...I never thought they would help us...after we gave them a beat down like that...

PORKRIND: (snort) So, now that you've gotten yourself some new projectiles, where ya boys headin' to this time?

(Cuphead soon took out the Devil's scroll)

CUPHEAD: Well...we can take out Ribby and Croaks off the list.

MUGMAN: Oooooh! We have only two more people left in Inkwell Glade! Uh...let's see...we need to collect soul contracts from...Hilda Berg, aaaaand...Cagney Carnation.

PORKRIND: (snorts) heh, I'd start with Cagney first, and worry about Hilda later, trust me. Just go out the other door, and you'll find him in a flower patch at Inkwell Creek. Hope ya ain't allergic to pollen.

CUPHEAD: What?

PORKRIND: You'll see soon enough. Now get goin' will ya?

CUPHEAD: Right...thanks, Porkrind. You've been greater help than what I gave you credit for, before.

PORKRIND: Don't mention it! Come by next time when you're done with all this, I'll give you boys some regular drinks on the house!

MALE FLY: BE SAFE CUPHEAD & MUGMAN!

FELAME FLY: YOU'RE OUR HERO!

(Soon the boys left the night club as they all the flies in there were cheering and saying goodbye to their heroes, as Ribby's head tiredly met with the ground, and Croaks only growled.)


(As the appalaus in the audience dimmed, the curtain rose up and Cuphead and Mugman made their way in a flower patch just at Inkwell Creek. In the distance, they see the Nightfly Night Club sailing away in the distance.)

MUGMAN: So much for going back, I guess...

CUPHEAD: Great...now how are we supposed to go back to Porkrind, then? We were supposed to go to him about the OTHER soul contract. On top of that, I don't even see this...Cagney Carnation fellah.

?: Howdy!

(Soon sprouting in front of them, is a small happy flower with an adorable little face.)

FLOWER: Hola!

(Cuphead and Mugman only looked in confusion.)

CUPHEAD: I've seen so many things before the play to know where this is going... lemme guess, you're Cagney Carnation aren't you?

CAGNEY CARNATION: Naturalmente I'm Cagney, Cagney Carnation! (Cagney pauses and looks at the two cups) You chicos look lost and oh so confused...of course someone's gotta teach you how things work around here, right?

MUGMAN: What do you mean?

CAGNEY CARNATION: I mean word is going out that you both have some new weapons in your arsenal, right? What does that good for nothing pig know?

CUPHEAD: Well, he gave us the d-

CAGNEY CARNATION: I guess it falls to lil' old me to teach you how to use those a proper way! You guys ready?

CUPHEAD: Just a moment while I uh...consult with my brother, of course!

(Cuphead soon turns around and lowered his head, along with Mugman as they were whispering as the sweet little flower was simply smiling as if there was not a care in the world)

MUGMAN: (Whispers) Golly Cup, uh...what does 'consult' mean, and why are we whisperin'?

CUPHEAD: (Whispers) It means don't trust this flower's game, Mugs. Just...play along, for now, and spring into action if that lil' flower does something funny. I mean...he's indebted to the Devil for SOMETHING.

MUGMAN: (Whispers) Maybe he's nice, like Goope?

CUPHEAD: (Whispers) The Elder Kettle would've MENTIONED something about that...creepy flower, wouldn't he?

MUGMAN: (Whispers) I suppose...

CUPHEAD: (Whispers) Just...act natural, Mugs, trust me.

(Their conversation has ended and Cuphead and Mugman turned back to the tiny smiling flower, once again.)

CUPHEAD: Alright Cagney, we're ready! What do you got in stored for us?

CAGNEY CARNATION: Well...a little pajarito told me that you've gotten yourself the Chaser and Spread shot, right?

CUPHEAD: What about them?

CAGNEY CARNATION: Well...they do much more than you, cups know! I wanna give you a demonstration, but I want you two to do one thing for me: I want you two to be my bestest, bestest, BESTEST amigos in ALL OF Inkwell Isle!

CUPHEAD: That all?

(Cagney sweetly nods his plant head yes)

MUGMAN: (Whispers) Awwwww...C'mon Cuphead, can we be his friends...or amigos? He's just too precious to say no to!

CUPHEAD: He is...cute, I'll give him that.

(Cagney only looks at the two cups with nothing but sweetness in his eyes. Cuphead sighs.)

CUPHEAD: (Reluctantly sighs...) Ugh...alright. I suppose it won't hurt to be...amigos.

CAGNEY CARNATION: HURRAH! OOOOH You Cupheads won't regret it! Ok...ok...ok, now for the next part, my favorite part!

(Soon Cagney coughed out shining, blissful dandelions from his tiny child mouth.)

CAGNEY CARNATION: As tradition of being my bestest, bestest, BESTEST amigos, it is a tradition to all to simply touch the fuzzy dandelions of friendliness, as a sign that our friendship is neverending.

CUPHEAD: (Smiling warmly) hey, that's actually not that bad...

CAGNEY CARNATION: I KNOW, IT'S FANTASTICO! Now quick, before they hit the ground, catch as many dandelions as you can!

(Cuphead and Mugman looked at the cheering flower as they were both about to catch some dandelions. Mugman was about to catch one, but Cuphead beat him to their very first one.)

CUPHEAD: HAHA! Sorry Mugs, but I'm...a..fraid our f-friendship is n-n...

(Soon to Mugman's surprise Cuphead fell to the ground with swirls in his eyes. He looked at his brother in complete dizziness...he didn't feel good, which made Mugman look at his brother in concern.)

MUGMAN: Cup? CUP! S-STAY WITH ME CUP, WHAT HAPPENED?!

CUPHEAD: Oh...geez...is it me or am I seeing double of you? I'll be fine...just a bit dizzy.

(Mugman soon looked in concern...and upset. He decided to turn to his new 'amigo')

MUGMAN: Cagney, what was in those d-

(Mugs looked in concern as a twisted large smiled formed in Cagney's face. The innocent little flower they've just met...vanished. There's something off between the mischievous little flower. Soon more flower bloomed, familiar and angry ones back in Inkwell Forest.)

CAGNEY CARNATION: Hehehhehehehehehehehe...

ANNOUNCER: A GREAT SLAM AND THEN SOME!

Floral Fury
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Cagney Carnation & Flower Chorus

Cagney Carnation
The skies are ocean blue,
The roses bright red too!
Amigos one and two, dear Mugman and Cuphead!

I already know your scheme
You've come here in the floral greens
To try to capture me, and claim me for my debt

(Music Break: Cuica Solo)

If that's the case...

RAAAAAAAAAAAALALALALALALALALALGH!

(Soon, to Mugman's surprise Cagney Carnation forms the scariest face he can, and move his arms frequently as flowers started to bloom around him...angry flowers. Mugman also took notice of the sound of roots growing...Cagney...he was growing in size. Soon, a vine latched on to Cuphead, flinging him up high)

Cuphead
GAH! I'M NOT BUILT FOR FLYING!

Mugman
CUP!

Announcer
NOW GO!

(Music Break Ends)

Cagney Carnation
Floral fury, so better hurry, foolish Cuphead runts, so come on!
Better steady, better get ready, for the wild hunt!

Female Chorus
The vi
olets darkest blue
And roses crimson, too!
Amigos one and two, it's time you meet your ends!

You want your brother back?
You want his soul contract?
The come and make the attack, see if you break or bend!

Cagney Carnation & Floral Chorus
April, and May, shining through the glade, golden afternoons, so COME ON!
Boys get ready, and get steady, for your floral tomb!

Cagney Carnation
So say your prayers, cups it's TIME to meet the vines
Let's see who life is truly on the line

The flora, and fauna,
will give ya such sauna
You never should've waged a war, causing DRAMA!

It's Inkwell war you declared
Just so you both could be spared
Selfish cup brothers in arms
You and your meek little charms

You won't stand a single chance
You won't stand a single glance
You won't survive a single chance
Gainst the Devil's dance!

You'll die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, if not you'll be fried

You will never win the day
You will never save the day
You'll dance with the meanest of the mean
You'll be humbled by the green!

Floral Chorus
It's Floral fury, so better hurry, foolish Cuphead runts, so come on!
Better steady, better get ready, for the wild hunt!

Cagney Carnation & Floral Chorus
It's only kill or be killed, we will make our fill, through the afternoons! So you two
Better get ready, better get steady, for your floral tomb!

(Cagney Carnation) & Chorus
(The green...) The green will truly lawn-mow you

(The green...) The green will truly weed-whack you

(The green...) The green you'll soon be humbled

(The green...) You Cupheads soon will crumble

(The plants...) The daisies are gonna pick ya

(The plants...) Snapdragons are gonna snap ya!

(The plants...) Bee balms are gonna get ya!

We'll get ya!

Cagney Carnation & Flower Chorus
Floral fury, so better hurry, foolish Cuphead runts, so come on!
Better steady, better get ready, for the wild hunt!

Cagney Carnation
YAAAAAA-HA! I FEEL ALIVE! Flowers will thrive,
we will survive, energized day through nights
Us flowers have the power, through the sun and rain!
We have naught to see the pain!

It's kill or be killed, a pledge we shall fulfill
No more will we get picked, we will afflict, we'll make them RUN to the hills!

'She loves me' 'she loves me not'
Woe to the flowers picked and pulled, and left to rot

I'm TIRED of it all! I made the deal with the Devil, to make those HUMANS FALL!
And you WON'T intervene, and ruin me! In fact,
It's time I show you Cupheads JUST HOW POWERFUL A FLOWER CAN BE!

Floral Chorus
The skies are ocean blue,
The roses bright red too!
Amigos one and two, dear Mugman and Cuphead!

Cagney Carnation
YOU'LL NEVER WIN!

Floral Chorus & Cagney Carnation
We already know your scheme
You've come here in the floral greens
To try to capture me(him), and claim me(him) for my(his) debt

(Music Break: Cuica Solo)

CAGNEY CARNATION: I admit...without your brother, you're not as bad a fighter, but you both are NOTHING MORE THAN IDIOTS, ASIDE! I won't let you take away what I've been scheming for SOOO LONG! YOU, THE DEVIL, THE HUMANS, THEY ALL WILL PAY!

(Soon Cagney began to transmogrify into size into a larger and more vicious flower as the Flower Chorus cheered and smiled, and as the tangled up Cuphead and Mugman simply looked in horror. Cagney's thorny vine latched on to Mugman, but that doesn't stop him from keeping fire at the flower.)

(Music Break Ends)

(Floral Chorus) & Cageny Carnation
(The green...) I know that I will lawn-mow you

(The green...) I'm gonna REALLY weed-whack you

(The green...) You Cupheads will be humbled

(The green...) Because you're GONNA CRUMBLE!

(The plants...) I know that I'm gonna pick ya

(The plants...) I know that I'm gonna snap ya!

(The plants...) I know that I will get ya!

We'll get ya!

Floral Chorus
Floral fury, so better hurry, foolish Cuphead runts, so come on!
Better steady, better get ready, for the wild hunt!

Floral Chorus & Cagney Carnation
It's only kill or be killed, it will be fulfilled, through the afternoons! So you two
Better get ready, better get steady,

CAUSE IT'S YOUR FINAL TOMB! YEAH!

(As the flowers and the enlarged beast form of Cagney laughed and cackled, Mugman was shooting as much as he could. It doesn't seem like it's getting him anywhere.)

CAGNEY CARNATION: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH! You're STILL shooting? You cups really ARE foolish! Keep goin' I DARE you!

(Mugman began to take notice of the vine covering his foot tighten, along with the vines grasping Cuphead.)

MUGMAN: NO!

CAGNEY CARNATION: I mean...you COULD keep going. That is if you want me to finally deal with the arrogance incarnate that is YOUR BROTHER!

MUGMAN: CAGNEY, THIS IS GOING TOO FAR!

CAGNEY CARNATION: Hey, maybe if that stupid brother of yours didn't DEAL WITH THE DEVIL, Maybe then you wouldn't be in this situation in the first place!

(Cuphead only looked down in disappointment.)

CAGNEY CARNATION: EVEN HE KNOWS IT HAHAHHAA!

MUGMAN: He may of dealt with the Devil, but together we'll set things right!

CAGNEY CARNATION: (Soon looks at the Cups sweetly) Aww, that's a bold response, Mugman. Very, very cute...buuuut, you're forgetting one thing:

MUGMAN: Yeah, and what's that?

CAGNEY CARNATION: What's the point on setting things right, together...(reverting back to his horrid 3rd form face) IF THE BOTH OF YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE THIS VERY SECOND, TOGETHER?!

(Soon, Cagney, and every flower cackled, and laughed as Cagney hoisted Mugman up next to Cuphead...and the vines around them began to tighten, and tighten. Things were going so well...but now it looks like they're about to meet their e-)

(Something was heard in the distance.)

?: Goope...Goope...Goope...Goope...

(Cagney and the other flowers heard it as well, and stopped. Mugman and Cuphead, though basically choking, they stopped as well and listened to someone frantically saying 'Goope')

CUPHEAD: Wait...Is that...

?: Goope...Goope...GOOPE...GOOPE...GOOPE...GOOPE...GOOPE...GOOPE!

(A familiar blue blob stormed in and...)

?: GOOPE LePUNCH!

(Goope suddenly comes on the stage and delivers Cagney a mighty slam on the face with his red boxing glove.)

CAGNEY CARNATION: GAH!

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

(The sudden punch was in contact with Cagney's roots. The flower's eyes bulged out until they comically popped out of his sockets. The vines untangled Cuphead and Mugman, making them slam to the ground. They soon looked up at their savior.)

MUGMAN: Goope LeGrande?

(In his blobby form, instead of his tombstone form. One of Cagney's eyes, black and hollow, sprouted out Cagney's original and tiny form, who looked at Goope in confusion.)

CAGNEY CARNATION: Goope...why?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: (Smiling confidently)I like setting Goopy scenes.

CAGNEY CARNATION: I mean why would you help them, you idiot?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Well...I was thinkin' these cups and mugs are really going head-on to a world of hurt. I know they were able to beat Ribby and Croaks, and the Root Pack, but...you and Hilda are on another level. The boys could use all the help they could get.

(Cagney only looked in baffle.)

CAGNEY CARNATION: Ya'll have THAT much hope for the two?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: I know you're skeptical, Cagney, but they got allot on their plate. Forget this human biz, it's either humans...or the Devil himself. Who do you wanna get away from first?

(Cagney pondered. Unfortunately...Goope is right.)

CAGNEY CARNATION: So...that's my choice huh?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: I don't see any true alternatives. Killing them is out of the question, and high tailin' it won't cut it either, y'know.

CAGNEY CARNATION: (sighs) I...HATE humans constantly picking our petals...but I'm sure the Devil can do even worse things to us. Fine, you win Goope, but I'm doing this for you cause you're my favorite, I'm not doing it for those idiots.

CUPHEAD: Harsh.

(Cagney sighs one more time, and then he shakes and shakes until soon, a vine popped up from the ground. A piece of paper was stuck to the vine, Cuphead picks it up: it's Cagney's soul contract.)

CAGNEY CARNATION: And that's one soul contract down. One more to go. (Cuphead puts the contract in his pocket)

MUGMAN: You won't regret it, Cagney! (Mugman smiles)

CAGNEY CARNATION: (Looking at Mugman in boredom) Geez, even after I almost killed you, you're just chalk-full of enthusiasm, huh Muggy?

(Cuphead took to the scroll)

CUPHEAD: That's my Muggy for ya, 1: he really put up a good fight...

MUGMAN: Golly thanks, Cup!

CUPHEAD: Secondly, let's see...only one soul contract, and we can move on to the next isle: Hilda Berg.

(A snicker was heard from Cagney, and a silent 'oh boy' from Goope.)

MUGMAN: (Confusion) What is it?

CAGNEY CARNATION: Well...one thing's for sure boys, you better have wings in those milk brains of yours. Toodles~

(Cagney sinks down to the ground, know that his work is all done. Goope only looked bashfully as Cuphead and Mugman turned to HIM in confusion.)

CUPHEAD: Alright, Goope. Is there anything we're missing on this Hilda Berg? Seems to be the ONLY one that everyone leaves out. WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL!

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Well...let's just say, she's a different boss debtor of her own, compared to us. Like Cagney says, you're gonna need wings or something to catch up to her. She's someone that won't leave the skies for ANYTHING.

MUGMAN: She's up in the sky?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Night sky, to be exact. She usually hangs out at the Inkwell Observatory up above the night sky. She's a beaut she is, some would go far to call her the Queen of the Night.

CUPHEAD: Queen of the Night, really?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Yeppers. I wish I could help you boys with that one, but that's way outta my league. I'm sure Mr. Porkrind'll help you out.

CUPHEAD: Porkrind? I don't understand. He's bartender of the Nightfly Night Club, and that ship set sail...LITERALLY. (Pointing at the party boat far away from the shore)

GOOPE LE GRANDE: He quit his job.

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Really?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Yeah, he quit his job as a bartender and took his 'special drinks' with him. He set up a mobile shop Inkwell Glade not far from here, and he called it 'Porkrind's Emporium'

(Cuphead and Mugman was surprised at this news. Their 'friend' is still in town!)

MUGMAN: Golly, I didn't know he was in town! I know he'll definitely help us out!

CUPHEAD: Thank you, so much Goope. First training us on how to use these, then saving Mugs and I, you've really done more than you needed. I'm glad at least one of these debtors are on our side. You've been a great help.

GOOPE LE GRANDE: Hey, I'm sure the rest'll join in the wagon too, anything to finally get them out of the Devil's debt, and really give him a piece of their mind for once. Hilda's a girl with zeal, I guarantee you she'll definitely join your fight against the Devil... with a bit of persuasion of course...and beatings.

CUPHEAD: I'll keep that in mind. Thanks again, Goope.

(And thus they wave back to their good friend as they leave Inkwell Creek. The curtains close again, as applause were given.)


(Curtain rises up with Cuphead and Mugman back at the village, in search for Porkrind's Emporium.)

MUGMAN: THERE, CUP! THAT MUST BE IT!

(Mugman points to a wagon set by the marketplace. A familiar pig with an eyepatch selling drinks to kids and adults.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: (In unison) PORKRIND!

(Porkrind turns and gives his smile at the two boys approaching him.)

PORKRIND: (Snorts) Well, well, you boys lookin' hearty, eh?

CUPHEAD: We thought you left with the party boat.

PORKRIND: Eh, I told the manager, y'know the one BEFORE Ribby and Croaks kicked out, that I made my due. I've decided on movin' around Inkwell Isle. More chances of people means more money, heh! (snorts)

CUPHEAD: Good business I guess...

PORKRIND: (Snorts) Y'know it, heh. But enough about me, you got Cagney's contract yet?

(Mugman pulls it in front of Porkrind's face)

MUGMAN: Victory!

PORKRIND: (Snorts) Good job, you boys are stronger than I give you cups credit. Now then onto Hilda's contract. Ol' Hilda Berg: the Queen of the Night. If you want her soul contract, you'll not only need to spot her at nighttime, but you'll need to fly up high, boys. Lucky for you, I've got a buddy that can help you. His name is Canteen Bottle, tell him I sent ya, and he'll hook ya bums up.

CUPHEAD: How?

PORKRIND: He's an plane engineer bums, he can make ya planes in ten seconds flat.

CUPHEAD: Toons: they get the job done, and they get it done quick. We'll give him a lookup, Porkrind, thanks so much.

PORKRIND: Forgettabout it.

(They leave Porkrind's emporium, and passed by a lone person struggling, and carrying a large tower of wooden planks. Mugman stopped to see the character struggling.)

MUGMAN: Excuse me, sir, but do you need help?

?: (straining) T-that would be nice, bud. If you really want to, then it would be a blessing to lighten the load.

(Cuphead sighed.)

CUPHEAD: Dude, we've got a job to do, let's just go.

MUGMAN: CUP, Elder Kettle raised you better than that! I know we've gotta get the job done, but there's no shame in helpin' someone in need, now is there?

CUPHEAD: (sighed) I guess you're right...wasn't really thinking straight. I'm just antsy, dude, I...just want this done so we won't have to deal with the Devil again.

(Mugman smiles as he places his gloved hand on Cup's shoulder.)

MUGMAN: I understand, buddy. Still, helpin' him out is good to let out a guilty conscious after we...well y'know.

CUPHEAD: I And I supposed you're right. Alright, I'll grab 4 planks, and you grab 4 planks.

MUGMAN: RIGHT-O!

?: Oh, thank you boys, I'm mighty grateful that you're helping me out! I'll lead the way.

(Cuphead carries 4 planks, Mugman carries 4 planks, and their new friend is now currently carrying 4 planks. Soon the canteen bottled toon took lead and all 3 of them were striding off the stage with the planks in their cartoon gloves.)


(The curtain opened up showing what appears to be a garage. Soon came Cuphead, Mugman, and the Canteen Bottle.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: This should be the spot! Just drop them, boys.

(In unison the 2 brothers and Canteen dropped the wooden planks to the ground. It was clear that they were in a engineer's garage, judging by all the...contraptions.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Thank you boys, so much for the help. Ehh...unfortunately I don't have anything to repay you with yet...

(Cuphead soon looked around at all the contraptions, and the looking toon. He really looks like some sort of...engineer of some sort.)

CUPHEAD: (In realization) Say...are you friends with Porkrind?

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Darn tutin' he's my friend. Why'd you ask?

(Cuphead and Mugman looked at each other in excitement.)

CUPHEAD: Listen, can you help us? You see, we're on a hunt for Hilda Berg, a-

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Say no more, I'd figure we'd meet at some point, Devil's little errand boys, hunting contracts all over Inkwell Isle. It's the talk of the town. That being said, I assume Porkrind sent you to me to devise a way to track down Hilda Berg up high and dry, right?

CUPHEAD: Yes, he did.

MUGMAN: Can you help us?

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Why, you're looking at Inkwell's finest engineer/pilot. I can better yet make you two a plane, therefore you can chase down not only Hilda, but other debtors that aren't seen on land.

MUGMAN: Wowee! That's swell of you, Mr. Canteen!

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Swell indeed, However...

CUPHEAD: Oh boy, I've seen this before.

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Of course Porkrind didn't tell you about payment, huh? You can't get nothing for nothing, boys.

MUGMAN: Aww...we used the coins we got for Porkrind' special drinks.

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Knowing Porkrind, I'd figure that...there IS another way, though.

CUPHEAD: Name it.

CANTEEN BOTTLE: I can make your plane in a jiffy, but what I want in return is a something I can't do without. As you can see, I'm a canteen bottle. Since I'm an engineer I require oil to refresh myself. Unfortunately a certain Annoying Dragonfly stole my compartment of it to use to fuel his flames, making him much more deadly.

MUGMAN: So we gotta rough him up to get the oil back for you?

CANTEEN BOTTLE: You'd be lifesavers doing so. The Dragonfly and his wasp army resides high up the top of Woodpecker's Willow.

MUGMAN: Golly, that's the tallest tree in Inkwell Glade.

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Indeed, but so far you've dealt with worse, now haven't you?

CUPHEAD: (sigh) You're not wrong...anyway, what you're saying is that if we get you your oil drinks, you can give us our planes and help us track down Hilda?

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Scout's honor, boys. And I'm a scout indeed!

MUGMAN: Oil for planes, a pretty good deal don't ya think? Well, no dilly-dallying this time, Cup, let's get to it!

(Mugman soon ran out of the garage as Cuphead only looked in concern.)

CUPHEAD: (sigh)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: He's gonna be fine, Cup.

CUPHEAD: (sigh) It's my fault that he's in this mess in the first place. I was ready to take full responsibility for my action...I-you understand right, Canteen? (Voice weakening) I-If anything happens to Mugs I-I-I don-

(Canteen puts his gloved hand on Cuphead's shoulder)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Like I said, he's gonna be fine. Mug is stronger than you think, Cuphead. You're not giving him the chance to view it. As innocent as he is, he IS your brother ain't he?

(Cuphead smiles warmly)

CUPHEAD: Yeah...I was really blessed with an awesome brother.

(Cuphead reminisces...the day his brother came to his life.)


(Flashback to a cold winter night, in Inkwell Glade in Elder Kettle's house. Young Cuphead, sleeping blissfully.)

ELDER KETTLE: Cuphead...Cuphead...

(Cuphead slowly opens his eyes from his slumber. Elder Kettle was smiling sweetly at the little cup.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Elder Kettle?

ELDER KETTLE: Do you know what today is?

(Cuphead ponders about it. He ponders hard actually, until the answer came to him. He smiled excitedly knowing the answer.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: IT'S CHRISTMAS!

(Elder Kettle shakes his head yes.)

ELDER KETTLE: And you know what that means?

(Cuphead's eyes bulged wide knowing the answer to this, indefinitely.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: SANTA! SANTASANTASANTASANTASANTASAAAAAANTA!

(Excitedly Cuphead raced out of his bed and down the stairs to the living room. He only looked in disappointment to see that no presents were under the Christmas tree. Tears began flowing down.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: H-he didn't come...(*sniff sniff*) I-I thought I was a good boy this year...

(Elder Kettle slowly makes his way to the living room, with a basket in his hand.)

ELDER KETTLE: Now, now, I wouldn't be TOO sure about that, Cuphead. You HAVE been a good boy. In fact, Santa went all out, and found you the greatest present you could ever have.

YOUNG CUPHEAD: REALLY?! What is it? Is it a racecar bed? TELL ME IT'S A RACECAR BED, OH PLEASEPLEASEPLEEEEEEASE, ELDER KETTLE!

ELDER KETTLE: (Chuckles) I'm afraid it's no racecar bed, Cuphead, but it's something much greater. Close your eyes first...

YOUNG CUPHEAD: (Closes his eyes in excitement) awww, I still wanted it to be a racecar bed. Still if it's better it's GOTTA be good!

(Elder Kettle places the basket on the ground with the blanket uncovered.)

ELDER KETTLE: Open your eyes.

(Cuphead excitedly takes his gloved hands off of his eyes. His smile of excitement lowered. His excitement only turned into surprise...and shock, as he looked down on the basket...to see not a racecar bed...but a living baby cup even younger than him.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: E-Elder Kettle...wow...is he...

ELDER KETTLE: Before you ask, it wasn't Santa who delivered this to you, Cuphead...it was the Stork. This, Cuphead...is your baby brother.

YOUNG CUPHEAD: He's...MY baby brother? Elder Kettle...

(Tears once again were racing down Cuphead's cup. He frantically ran to Elder Kettle to hug him tightly. Those weren't tears of sadness, no tears of joy...overjoy.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: (Crying) T-THIS IS THE BESTEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER

(Small tears were even forming in Kettle's eyes as well.)

ELDER KETTLE: I'm glad you like him. Because as of today Cuphead, you...are going to be his brother. And being his brother means chipping in with taking care of him, and being responsible of him. Is that clear?

YOUNG CUPHEAD: (Smiling as tears were still forming) C-Crystal, Elder Kettle.

(Elder Kettle only smiles.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD:OH! Elder, what's his name?

ELDER KETTLE: Funny you should ask, I was going to ask you the same thing. I'm giving you the honors, Cuphead, to name him. Any name you wish, just so long as it isn't anything ridiculous.

YOUNG CUPHEAD: I can name him? hmm...

(Cuphead ponders and ponders...soon a lightbulb appeared on top of his head. He knew what to name him.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Elder Kettle?

ELDER KETTLE: Hmm?

YOUNG CUPHEAD: I thought up a name...

ELDER KETTLE: Yes?

YOUNG CUPHEAD: I-I wanna name him...Mugman.

ELDER KETTLE: Oh bother Cuphead, enough of these r-(Elder Kettle stops for a second) wait...Mugman...?

YOUNG CUPHEAD:(Shakes his head innocently) mhm!

ELDER KETTLE: Mugman...hmm...I actually like it.

(Soon a small baby's squeal was heard from inside the basket. Mugman's pacman eyes opened up and the baby mug smiles and squeals innocently.)

ELDER KETTLE: I think he likes it too. Cuphead...I approve of this name.

YOUNG CUPHEAD: YAY!

(As Cuphead was overly ecstatic, Elder Kettle only smiles sweetly at the two young cups before him.)

ELDER KETTLE: Those two will make wonderful brothers...hmm. Cuphead...and his pal...Mugman.

(Older Cuphead begins to sing as he's reminiscing all the times spent with his brother.)

Sweet Memories
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Cuphead

Cuphead
Mugman, Mugman, sweet as can be
Fills me with glee,
He completes this family

Mugman, Mugman, boy I was blessed
Sweet memories, sweet memories, he truly is the best

Mugman, Mugman, kindest of kind
Purest of mind
If only I wasn't so blind

Mugman, Mugman, truly you're blessed
Even though I've made a mess
Even though I've been a pest
Sweet memories, sweet memories, you truly are the best

(Piano Interlude)

(Cutting to a few years later, Cuphead was in his room with Mugman, now around the age of 5, and Cuphead was 7. The two were trying to find a game to play.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Ok, soo...you wanna play Uno?

YOUNG MUGMAN: Sure, if you wanna play it, I can play it too!

(Cuphead only looked at his brother and shook his head.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Nice try, Muggy. This time we're playing the games YOU want to play. Elder Kettle says I should let you decided the games, from now on. Soo...let's see.

(Cuphead takes out a whole assortment of games to play.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: You wanna play battleship?

YOUNG MUGMAN: If you wanna play it.

(Cuphead only looks in annoyance.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Do you want to play clue?

YOUNG MUGMAN: If you wanna play it, I don't mind.

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Dominos?

YOUNG MUGMAN: If you wanna play it.

YOUNG CUPHEAD: CONNECT FOUR?

YOUNG MUGMAN: If you wanna play it.

YOUNG CUPHEAD: I DON'T EVEN WANT TO PLAY IT! C'MON MUGMAN HELP ME OUT! PICK A GAME YOU WANT TO PLAY!

(Tears began to form around Mugman's face.)

YOUNG MUGMAN:I-I'm sorry...I only wanna play the games you wanna play (*sniff sniff*) to make you happy.

(Cuphead's anger soften as he was taken aback by what his brother said.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Me? But what about you? What do YOU want, Mugman? You never seem to tell me or Elder Kettle what you really want...we're here to help you bro, and don't forget it.

YOUNG MUGMAN: Cuphead...I really don't want anything in particular...I just want you guys to be happy. You, Elder Kettle, and everyone around me. So long as I know you're all happy, what more could I want?

(Tears began to form in Cuphead's face as well.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Mugman...

(The young cup clings onto Mugman, and hugged him tightly. Mugman smiled and hugged him back.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Y'know Elder Kettle's gonna kill me though, right?

YOUNG MUGMAN: I'll tell him, don't worry.

(Piano Interlude Ends)

(Older Mugman continued to sing again.)

Cuphead
Mugman, Mugman, kindest of kind
Purest of mind
If only I wasn't so blind

Mugman, Mugman, truly you're blessed
Even though I've made a mess
Even though I've been a pest
Sweet memories, sweet memories, you truly are the best...


(Flashback end)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: You gonna be ok, Cup?

(Unbeknownst to the older Cuphead, tears were flowing down his face.)

CUPHEAD: Oh...heh, sorry Canteen, I'm just...reminiscing. I'm REALLY not a good brother if I put Mugman in this situation. Heck, I'm sure Elder Kettle can agree with me on that one. I'm...just as irresponsible as the next guy.

CANTEEN BOTTLE: You only did it because the Devil tempted you, Cuphead. It really isn't your fault. Most of the folks in Inkwell Isle has had shares of that dude's encounter.

CUPHEAD: But Mugman had NOTHING to do with this. He shouldn't join me when things are about to get tough...

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Maybe you should take into consideration of this: your younger brother's protecting you.

MUGMAN: YOU'RE DARN RIGHT I AM!

(Cuphead and Canteen Bottle turned to see Mugman at the entrance with narrowed eyes. He began walking up to the two.)

CUPHEAD: H-How long have you been listening in?

MUGMAN: Long enough, Cuphead, long enough.

CUPHEAD: Mugs...

MUGMAN: I was disappointed that you made a deal with the Devil, that's for sure, but why do you think I'm journeying with you, Cup? You many not like it, and it may not look like it, but I'll always be there to protect you, just you've been protecting me!

CUPHEAD: Mugs...

MUGMAN: We're brothers, Cup, we stick together! I don't know how many times I've been telling ya this, but you can keep sticking out for me all ya want, I'll ALWAYS be there to stick out for you!

(Tears were once again forming down on Cuphead's face.)

CUPHEAD: Mugs...I-I've never noticed...you...you...you must really see me as a (*sniff sniff*) terrible brother...

MUGMAN: Phooey, of course not. I never have, and I never will, Mugs, don't you worry. You'll always be the bestest brother in the whole world!

CUPHEAD: (Smiling) Thank you...Mugman.

(Mugman nodded happily.)

MUGMAN: That being said, if you're ready Cuphead, we've gotta get to Woodpecker's Willow, ASAP for Canteen's oil.

(Cuphead sighs as he smiles at his brother. The tears were drying.)

CUPHEAD: Yeah...I'm ready. Let's get to it.

(Cuphead and Mugman soon exits the garage as the curtain closes.)


(The curtains reopen to Cuphead and Mugman standing in front of Woopecker's Willow, the largest tree in Inkwell Glade. They can see some bees and bugs flying around the very top of it. Most likely the Antlion's nest)

Treetop Trouble
Lyrics by Mingler45567

(At this point on, Cuphead and Mugman were traversing out of the inside of Woodpecker's Willow, and began making their way outside as they were truly climbing high up the tree. Soon, wasp spawns began swarming around Cuphead and Mugman.)

Wasp Chorus
You won't meet our king

If you clash with our king

(At that point, Cuphead and Mugman has made it to the highest point of Woodpecker's Willow: the Dragonfly nest. You can hear the woodland critters, and wasps, and the chorus singing together.)

Soprano & Alto Chorus
High above the trees

Tenor & Base Chorus
Creatures are at bay

Soprano & Tenor Chorus
Creatures great and mean

All Chorus
Creatures that will slay
And it's coming this way!

Cuphead
What?

(Soon the song ends with a large buzzing noise behind Cuphead and Mugman. The two cups turned around and saw him...the Dragon Fly, overseer of Woodpecker's Willow.)

CUPHEAD: Oh boy...

MUGMAN: Cuphead look, the Dragonfly has Canteen's jar of oil in his hand!

(Cuphead soon sees the jar of oil indeed in the Dragonfly's hand. It consumed a bit of it, and suddenly blasted a breath of fire at the two cups. Quickly they got out of the way, only to see a cindered spot of the nest.)

CUPHEAD: Wow, pretty tough.

MUGMAN: What's the plan?

CUPHEAD: We've gotta get it out of its greedy mitts. I'll blast its hand and you go in and catch that jar, then we...MAKE A RUN FOR IT, NOW GO!

(Frantically Mugman went running as the Dragonfly roared. Cuphead blasted a magic shot at the Dragonfly making it roar in anger and pain, which also made it drop the oil. Mugman quickly slid in and caught the jar.)

CUPHEAD: Nice catch Mugs, now get outta there!

MUGMAN: Right-o!

(The Dragonfly roared as it stood towards Mugman. Cuphead gasped in shock, the Dragonfly was about to blow another ray of fire. Soon, the dragonfly breathed in and...coughed up a small flint of fire.)

MUGMAN: So the oil really WAS fueling its fire.

(The Dragonfly was steamed.)

CUPHEAD: Seems like it, now LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!

(Before the Dragonfly slashed Mugman, Cuphead quickly grabbed him, making the dragonfly miss. Soon Cuphead and Mugman together made a jump for it, jumping down the Woodpecker's Willow, making the Dragonfly bellow in anger.)

DRAGONFLY: ROOOOOOOOOOOAR!

(Soon a few wasps flew in.)

WASP #1: Pfff good riddance.

WASP #2: Relax, Boss. They just jumped off the tallest tree in Inkwell Glade. Those cups are as good as cracked, HA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

(Soon all the wasps and even the dragonfly laughed and laughed, realizing the death of Cuphead and Mugman...truly are eminent.)

(Meanwhile with the Cups...well they were falling to their dooms.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

MUGMAN: WHY DID YOU JUMP?!

CUPHEAD: ONLY OPTION I COULD THINK OF ON SHORT NOTICE!

MUGMAN: WE COULD'VE JUST WENT BACK DOWN THE WAY WE CAME UP HERE!

CUPHEAD: YOU'RE NOT WRONG! LIKE I SAID, THAT WAS THE ONLY THING I WAS THINKING AT THE TIME!

MUGMAN: WE'RE FALLING TO FAST, WE'RE GONNA CRACK!

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

ZOOM!

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

MUGMAN: Hmm?

(Amidst Cuphead's screaming, Mugman soon realized that they stopped falling...in fact they were...doing the exact opposite.)

MUGMAN: Uh...Cuphead?

CUPHEAD: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

MUGMAN: (Smiling) CUPHEAD! Open your eyes...

CUPHEAD: I'D RATHER NOT SEE MY DEATH, MUGMAN! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

MUGMAN: No, Cup! We're not falling anymore!

(Soon, Cuphead's screaming was now put to a stop.)

CUPHEAD: A-Are we dead yet?

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Very much alive, gentlemen!

(Cuphead opened his eyes and noticed something: he and Mugman were now...on a small bright red airplane! And Canteen Bottle is manning the wheel. He soon notices that Canteen was flying away from Woodpecker's Willow and back to Inkwell Glade Village, noticing that the sun is starting to go down.)

CUPHEAD: Wow...so...this is what it feels like to be so high up in the air...

MUGMAN: Golly, Canteen, ya really saved us!

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Well, I needed to give one of these babies a test run, and then I saw you idiots falling down the tallest tree in Inkwell Glade. Yeah...not hard to see, boys. WHICH REMINDS ME, do you boys have my oil? I'm getting a bit weak.

MUGMAN: Right here!

(Mugman soon gives Canteen Bottle the oil he so desires. Canteen soon pours it inside his bottle.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Ahh...that hits the spot. Now then... this is supposed to be Cuphead's plane. Mugman, yours is still on the garage, like I said, it needed a test run.

CUPHEAD: Thanks, SOOO much for doing this, Canteen.

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Sure thing boys, in fact I kinda wanna test out this baby's battle mechanics. Who's that last debtor of yours again, Cuphead, Mugman?

(Mugman soon takes out the Devil's list of debtors and shows the last debtor unchecked.)

MUGMAN: Hilda Berg, Canteen!

(Canteen Bottle narrowed his eyes and gave out a smirk.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Heh, perfect. I know the way, LET'S DO IT!

CUPHEAD: Wait...you're gonna fight her?

CANTEEN BOTTLE: You boys could use all the help you can get if your fighting those despots. Plus, I've always wanted to fly up to Hilda Berg to see her 'Moonlight Serenade' in person. Now's a perfect time more than ever. I get to see her singing, you get your contract. A win-win for both of us.

MUGMAN: Well...can't argue with that logic.

CANTEEN BOTTLE: THEN LET'S DO THIS, HAHA!

(And thus, Canteen Bottle flies off at the sunset in search for Hilda Berg, as the curtain closes. Applause)


(The curtain rises up, and it's nighttime in Inkwell Glade. This is the 1st night of two before the Devil decides to take Cuphead and Mugman's soul midnight in the next night. Canteen's airplane is flying throughout Inkwell Observatory in search for Hilda Berg, Cuphead and Mugman's final contract in Inkwell Glade.)

MUGMAN: zzzzzzz...

(Seems Mugman is plum-tuckered out after a day of soul collecting. Cuphead and Canteen Bottle are staying vigilant.)

CUPHEAD: Hmmm...any sign of her?

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Doesn't seem like it...wait...shh...

CUPHEAD: I didn't say an-

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Do you hear it?

(Canteen Bottle and Cuphead were both silent...soon Cuphead's nonexistent ears picked up something: humming. Humming is heard from somewhere up high in the sky, beautiful humming, that is.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: We're close.

?: Oh you're close alright~ HAHAHA!

(Taking Cuphead and Canteen Bottle by surprise a tornado was coming straight for them.)

CUPHEAD: PULL BACK!

CANTEEN BOTTLE: PULLING BACK!

(Canteen Bottle frantically turned the wheel and moved the airplane out of the way. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough. The wind was able to catch the plane, sucking the red plane with it.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Oh boy...

(The alarm went off, making Mugman wake up.)

MUGMAN: HUH W-WOOOOOOAH!

(Now taken in by the tornado, the plane is swirling, and swirling, and swirling around amidst the wind.)

CUPHEAD, MUGMAN, & CANTEEN BOTTLE: WOAH-WOAH-WOAH-WOAH-WOAHHHHHH!

CUPHEAD: PUNCH IT!

CANTEEN BOTTLE: PUNCHING IT!

(Canteen Bottle smashed the breaks into, and quickly the plane was able to zoom out of the tornado at great speed. Quickly Canteen Bottle slammed the breaks, again, making the plane stop abruptly.)

CUPHEAD, MUGMAN, & CANTEEN BOTTLE: (Dizzily) uhhh...

(Swirls were around Cuphead, Mugman, & Canteen Bottle's eyes, as a sign saying they were extremely dizzy.)

(Cuphead shook his head, regaining composure.)

CUPHEAD: Ugh, what the heck? Wh-Where did that tornado come from?

?: That...would be me.

(Soon Cuphead, Mugman, and Canteen Bottle looked upon a single skinny female sitting casually on a cloud. A lavender skinned girl with a brownish red hair. She was wearing a red dress, and red flats, and has a wind compass atop her head.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: That's her boys, that's Hilda Berg.

HILDA BERG: I see that my reputation precedes me, doesn't it? hehe. Of course I know that yours precedes you as well, don't it, errand boys?

(Cuphead and Mugman narrowed their eyes.)

HILDA BERG: I can understand that you boys are here for my soul contract? ehhhh...not sure why the stupid canteen bottle's here though.

CANTEEN BOTTLE: STUPID?!

HILDA BERG: But I really don't care. Sooooo...let's cut to the chase, I'm bored. If you want my soul contract, you of course gotta fight me. Simple right?

MUGMAN: Sure, simple enough.

HILDA BERG: Sure simple enough...assumin' you can CATCH ME HEHEHE!

(Soon Cuphead, Mugman, and Canteen Bottle looked in awe as Hilda suddenly blew some air...and soon forming from the clouds, she transformed into a blimp.)

Threatenin' Zeppelin
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Hilda Berg & Chorus

(Xylophones begin to play as Hilda begins to fly away.)

HILDA BERG: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!

CUPHEAD: AFTER HER!

(Canteen Bottle punched it into high gear...as Hilda Berg herself begins to sing.)

Hilda Berg & (Chorus)
Dodo, dododo, dododododo I'm the Princess of Night (Princess Of the Night!)

Chorus & (Hilda Berg)
Dodo, dododo, dododododo She's the Princess of Night (Princess of Night!)

Chorus

Hilda Berg & (Chorus)
Dodo, dododo, dododododo I'm the Princess of Night (Princess of Night!)

Hilda Berg

Chorus
Hilda Berg, the Herald of Blimps, is gonna squash and crush you wimps!

Hilda Berg & (Chorus)
Dodo, dododo, dododododo I'm the Princess of Night (Princess of Night!)

Hilda Berg
It's all foretold within the stars!

Try your might against Cancer, Taros, Libra, Aquarius, Pieces, Leo, and Sagittarius
All the stars in the sky align, you cups won't take that contract o' mine!

Don't dare flaunter, through the darkness, I'm outta this world, you can call me your highness!
Zooming through the sky of nightness I'll strike you down like with all my mightiness!

It's hopeless, you'll never win, times for you will all be oh so grim
You Cupheads will only drop I'll NEVER be...

STOP! WHAT! don't you Cupheads understand?
I'm Hilda Berg, all Inkwell will perk, once you Cups are dead in my hand!

Chorus
Dead in her hands!

Idiotic that you'll think you'll beat Devil, when I'M Here?
All hope will disappear, cause I'm the one you'll TRULY fear!
Cause I'm the one, who'll throw you Cupheads through the darken, damp, cold, atmosphere! HAHAHA!

(Hilda Berg) & Chorus
Can't stop the constellations
They will be your devastation (DEVASTATION!)

All the stars she calls they're beckoned
This will be the death we reckon (I'd reckon you'll fall!)

Hilda Berg, the Herald of Blimps, is gonna squash and crush you wimps!

Hilda Berg & (Chorus)
Dodo, dododo, dododododo I'm the Princess of Night (Princess of...)

(Suddenly as the chorus and Hilda Berg were singing, Cuphead, Mugman, and Canteen Bottle looked in confusion as they noticed Hilda Berg is transforming...)

(Hilda Berg) & Chorus
Twinkle, twinkle little star (Little star)
How I wonder what you are (What you are)

Up above the world so high (So High)
Like a diamond in the sky (Through the...)

(The transformation was complete...Cuphead, Mugman, and Canteen Bottle looked in surprise as Hilda Berg was no blimp anymore. No...she turned into a giant crimson red crescent moon, with glowing yellow eyes.)

Hilda Berg
SKY!
It's time you Cupheads soar up high~

This will be your darkest hour
I will show you real true power
Can't you see, it's YOU I tower
Even though you fought a flower
I'M THE QUEEN OF NIGHT, SO COWER!

I'm the Monarch of the skies!
You will be broken if you try!

Tonight's the night you Cupheads die!
As Cuphead shards rains down the sky!

It serves you right, you pay the price
For getting caught and rolling the dice!

Chorus(Overlapping)
She's the Queen of Night, gonna give a fright
She's the Queen of Night, gonna lose this fight

Hilda Berg
I will shine through the night and day~

Chorus(Overlapping)
She's the Queen of Night, gonna give a fright
She's the Queen of Night, gonna lose this fight

I'll forever, shine altogether through night and day!

Chorus(Overlapping)
She's the Queen of Night, gonna give a fright
She's the Queen of Night, gonna lose this fight

Through the night and day, from dusk till dawn, I WILL STOP YOU DEVIL PAWNS!

Hilda Berg & (Chorus)
You can't win (Can't!), against the Queen of Nights...my (You can't win!)

(Her might!) Might, my power (You can't win!) it'll serve you Cupheads right!
It's hopeless! You're in peril against the Ruler of all Night!

So STOP! (Time to stop!)
And DROP! (Time to drop)
And FLOP, and lop, and crop, I'll stomp!

You down! (Stomp you down!)
I'll pound (She will pound!),
Through mound, your sounds, inbound!

You're all in peril, all in danger, for I'm your menace THROUGH DAY AND NIGHT!

I'm the Queen (OF NIGHT!) Only Queen of Night
It's all too plain (TOO SEE!) can't you Cupheads see?
My radiance shines (ON ALL!) throughout all the night
And you Cupheads soon (WILL FALL!) by my moonlight might

Hilda Berg
Don't think about tapping out so soon

Chorus
CAUSE THIS IS ONLY HER ON HALF MOON!

Hilda Berg
Badapbabababapaaaaaa I'm the brightest and the radiance of the land
I admit you gave quite a fight, this is where I take the stand
Consider it an act of mercy, to wipe you cups right outta this land!

Through this land!
King Dice and Devil will put you Cupheads on display, it would give dismay
So I think it's clear what happens next, I'll stop you Cupheads, to this day!

Chorus
Dodo, dododo, dododododo

Hilda Berg
SO, LET'S SEE JUST WHO GOES FAR!

Hilda Berg & Chorus
YEAH!

(After the song was over, the plain was completely surrounded. Amidst the flying saucers, and stars, and toy airplanes flying throughout the night sky, the crimson crescent moon with a maniacal pink face was only laughing and scoffing at the small plane before her.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Now boys...I know this looks bad,

CUPHEAD: REALLY? It looks bad? Gee I never noticed. Between the flying saucers, the toy airplanes, and the GIANT BLOOD RED CRESCENT MOON JUST STANDING IN FRONT OF US...It's PRETTY HARD TO NOTICE HOW BAD THIS LOOKS!

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Cuphead, CUPHEAD! Relax! I know this looks bad, but I think I've been firing at Hilda Berg long enough...to finish her off.

MUGMAN: You can?

CUPHEAD: (Completely shocked) H-H-HOW?! HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY FINISH THAT OFF?!

(Cuphead says frantically pointing at Hilda Berg, the true Queen of the Night, in her most prudent form. Mugman notices Canteen Bottle narrowed his eyes, and smirked.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: With THIS!

(Canteen Bottle soon unleashed the container, and soon slammed down a bright shining red button on the controls. The plane begins to blare an alarm.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: You...might wanna hold onto something, kids.

(Suddenly, with a poof, the Airplane forms pacman eyes and turned into a brave smirking bright red torpedo. Hilda Berg only looked in confusion.)

HILDA BERG: It looks like one of my toy planes? You think your little copy cat tricks will turn this battle around?

TORPEDO: Nah, but this will, hehe. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock

(Whist repeating tick-tock over and over again, the torpedo begins to move closer and closer to Hilda Berg. She only looked in confusion, while most of the toy airplanes caught on, immediately.)

TOY AIRPLANE: It's not a plane, IT'S NOT A PLANE! FALL BACK!

(With screams and yells, at a cloud of smoke the toy airplanes fled immediately, leaving Hilda Berg to the ticking torpedo.)

HILDA BERG: Wait...if it's not a plane, then what is i-ohhhhhhh...oh no...torpedo?

TORPEDO: TICK-TOCK TORPEDO!

(Hilda had no room to flee in this form. She had no other choice but to revert back to her Princess form, but before she could even transform, and blow out all the clouds, the Torpedo was just at her nose. In contact...)

BOOM!

(With a cloud of smoke, the torpedo exploded, and reverted back to the airplane with Canteen, Cuphead, and Mugman still in tact.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: HAHAHA! TAKE THAT HILDA!

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

HILDA BERG: Huhhhhhh...

(With swirls in her eyes, Hilda, reformed to her Princess form slowly floating down in dizziness. She has been completely bruised and battered up. Before she could take to the ground, Hilda formed a cloud to break her fall. Cuphead and Mugman soon saw something flying throughout the sky, dropped by Hilda.)

CUPHEAD: Canteen, it's the contact! Pull in, and grab it!

CANTEEN BOTTLE: Pulling, and grabbing it!

(With a satisfied look on his face, Canteen flew the plane to the soul contract simply floating through the wind. Before it could escape, Cuphead grabbed it.)

CUPHEAD: Mugman...

MUGMAN: Yeah, Cup?

CUPHEAD: We just took Hilda's soul contract.

MUGMAN: Darn tutin'

CUPHEAD: Do you know what this means?

(Mugman soon thought about it, and soon came to one conclusion: Only. One. Conclusion.

Give a Cheer
Lyrics by Mingler 45567
Feat. Cuphead, Mugman, Canteen Bottle, Hilda Berg, & Chorus

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: WE HAVE ALL THE SOUL CONTRACTS IN INKWELL GLAAAAADE!

(Soon drumrolls begin to beat as Canteen Bottle smiles, and Hilda Berg only looks up at the happy boys in boredom, and immediately Cuphead, Mugman, and the chorus sings.)

Chorus, (Cuphead, & Mugman)
They've done it, let's give a cheer (YEAH!)
They survived, give one cheer more (YEAH!)
They've got the soul contracts in Inkwell Glade (WE'VE SHOWED THEM WHAT FOR!)

They've won let's give a cheer (YEAH!)
Let's give them one cheer more (WHOO!)
They've fought through thick and thin, gave Inkwell Glade just what's in stored

Cuphead
Even though we both won the battle, we haven't won the war

Mugman
Still it really makes me GIDDY knowing we gave those debtors WHAT'S IN STORED

Canteen Bottle & (Hilda Berg(Unenthusiastic)
Let's hear it for Cups and Mugs! (Yay...)
They bashed those debtor thugs! (Joy...)

Cuphead, Mugman, & (Chorus)
We have the Soul Contracts in the Glade... (In Inkwell Glade...)

Cuphead
We've done Mugs, we prevailed
We fought those debtors, haven't failed
I had my doubts, we'd make it through, but we both done it, me and you!

Mugman
Don't forget Cup
We had a team that lent us a hand
Porkrind, Canteen, Goope, Kettle, such big help for a lil band

Canteen Bottle
Though, you cups felt such pain, you cups pressed on and on
You Cupheads had my plane, and used your brains and brawns

Hilda Berg
Don't grow complacent, forgive me for gettin' pretty blatant,
You Cupheads, I'm quite proud of you, but that doesn't mean the fight is through

Cuphead
STILL!

Chorus, (Cuphead, & Mugman)
They've done it, let's give a cheer (YEAH!)
They survived, give one cheer more (YEAH!)
They've got the soul contracts in Inkwell Glade (WE'VE SHOWED THEM WHAT FOR!)

They've won let's give a cheer (YEAH!)
Let's give them one cheer more (WHOO!)
They've fought through thick and thin, gave Inkwell Glade just what's in stored

Chorus, Cuphead, Mugman, & Canteen Bottle
Even though we(they've) both won the battle, we(they) haven't won the war
Still it really makes us GIDDY knowing we(they) gave those debtors WHAT'S IN STORED

Hilda Berg
Sigh.

Hilda Berg, (Cuphead, Mugman, Canteen Bottle, & Chorus)
Let's hear it for Cups and Mugs... (YAY!)
They bashed those debtor thugs... (JOY!)

Cuphead, Mugman, & (Chorus)
We have the Soul Contracts in Inkwell Glade, let's all rejoice
We have the Soul Contracts in Inkwell Glade, let's all rejoice
We have the Soul Contracts...

Canteen
REJOICE~!

Chorus
Give a cheer to Cup and Mugman let's...

All(Minus Hilda Berg)
REJOICE~!

CUPHEAD: WHOOOOO! WHO-WHO-WHOOOOOOO!

MUGMAN: (Sighs) I can't believe after all that trouble, we got past the debtors in Inkwell Glade.

(Hilda Berg is growing impatient)

HILDA BERG: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got the contracts, WHO CARES?! You STILL have allot to do, y'know. Besides, your job here's not officially done yet.

(Cuphead, Mugman, and Canteen Bottle's celebration was abruptly put to a halt.)

MUGMAN: Golly, you're such a downer, Hilda.

CUPHEAD: What are you talking about?

HILDA BERG: Your job here's no done yet. You still need to head on over to the Die House just at the edge of the town. Once there, you need to fork over all the soul contracts you collected to the Devil's no good lackey: King Dice.

CANTEEN BOTTLE: I've heard of him. King Dice is a pretty shifty one, he is. He doesn't let ANYTHING pass by if it ain't done. You guys must've dealt with that, the hard way right?

(Hilda sighs.)

HILDA BERG: Let's just say...when it comes to King Dice, we debtors have something in common:

MUGMAN: What?

HILDA BERG: That heckler always leads us right to the Devil's mitts. Isn't that right, Cuphead?

(Cuphead lowers his head. It's sad, but it's the truth.)

CUPHEAD: Right...

MUGMAN: Golly, King Dice must really be a bad man, huh?

HILDA BERG: I'm just lookin' out for ya cups, believe it or not.

CUPHEAD: Attacking us is a pretty funny way of 'lookin' out for us' don't you think?

HILDA BERG: (sigh) you're not wrong.

BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP!

(Canteen Bottle looks down to the plane controls. Looks like the plane is beginning to run low on gas.)

CANTEEN BOTTLE: WELL, that being said...it's getting pretty late. I'm sure you boys had quite an exhilarating night with Miss. Berg, but I think I'm gonna take this plane down before it runs out of juice.

MUGMAN: Oh, ok! Bye Hilda, we've gotta go to sleep and wake up early for some more debt collecting!

CUPHEAD: Yeah, you gave a pretty good fight, thanks!

HILDA BERG: Alright, alright good fight...I guess, heh...

(The plane begins to lower and lower away from the night sky. Hilda Berg only looks up at the moonlit night...in sadness.)

HILDA BERG: I kinda wanted to be Princess of Night...


(The scene transitions back to Elder Kettle's house, where Mugman and Cuphead returned to rest for the night. They've truly had a long day, to their dismay an even longer day is ahead of them. They have until tomorrow night to take every contract in Inkwell Isle, or else the Devil will keep their souls forever. The scene transitions to Elder Kettle tucking the two boys in for the night.)

ELDER KETTLE: Now you two get a good night's rest. You've had a long day today, and an even longer day awaits tomorrow. I trust you understand why?

MUGMAN: RIGHT-O, ELDER KETTLE! We have the whole day tomorrow to get the rest of the soul contracts, before tomorrow night!

ELDER KETTLE: That's right, and I don't want you boys up during the night. Understand?

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Yes, Elder Kettle.

ELDER KETTLE: And don't forget to go back to the young Canteen Bottle for your airplanes. He assure me that he will be putting the finishing touches on both of them by tomorrow.

CUPHEAD: We will, Elder Kettle.

ELDER KETTLE: Excellent. Do you boys need anything? Any milk?

CUPHEAD: We're fine, thank you, Elder Kettle.

ELDER KETTLE: Of course. Like I said, I care for you boys.

MUGMAN: And we care for you, too! You don't need to worry about us, we'll be fine, out there!

(Elder Kettle shows a sadden frown, but immediately shrugs it off and smiles.)

ELDER KETTLE: Heh, right...fair enough, there's such a thing as overprotection, I'm afraid. You two have a goodnight, and sweet dreams to the both of you...

(The teacup soon slowly closes the door and turned off the lights.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Goodnight, Elder Kettle!

(Soon, the door closes. Behind the door, Elder Kettle only sighs, finally showing his concern for his two young boys.)

ELDER KETTLE: Bother...this whole mess...Cuphead, Mugman...

(Alone in his thoughts, Elder Kettle soon makes his way down the living room, and spots a lone column black piano resting. The old kettle pot soon rests himself...extort all his thoughts. He soon begins to play the piano, playing familiar notes.)

Kettle's Soliloquy
Lyrics by Mingler45567

Feat. Elder Kettle

(He plays his tune...the only tune he knows. Soon, taken by the song...he begins to sing.)

Elder Kettle
I hope you know, I care for both of you,
My little teacups...

My boys, I fear your task is all but doom,
Don't fret, my teacups...

I will guide you if I can,
But you both must understand

That danger is near, you cannot fear, my teacups.

Though the day has end, another begins anew
My little teacups...

Monsters will grow, and tear you both in two,
Stay strong, my teacups...

I feel so weak, I feel so meek,
Helpless to fight, it's such a sight
I wish to be there, my little teacups

How I remember the day you both came to my life~
I knew that Heaven has called me, to be the boy's light~

I knew my duty was clear, to fight all beasties tough~
But now, I dread, I wonder, I fret...that all I do, I do for them, is it enough?

I hope they know I care...
My little teacups...

My boys, I fear their task is all but scares
My little teacups...

Can I guide them if I try?
Be there when things go airy?
One older as me, can I be there for my teacups...

Things will not be easy...
Things will not be facile...

Debtors they're strong, debtors, they're tough, debtors make your time quite rough
They will show all their might,
Anything to win their fight.

Debtors they're mean, debtors they're brash, debtors will want try to make you crack and crash
Will they let them?
Can they let them.

I know, you fear,
I know, you doubt,
There is much to fear, when danger is near, can they stop these louts?

Out there, I fear
Out there, I doubt
Can I guide them through this route?

Debtors they're strong, debtors, they're tough, debtors make your time quite rough
They will show all their might,
Anything to win their fight.

Debtors they're mean, debtors they're brash, debtors will want try to make you crack and crash
Will they let them?
Can they let them.

What now? what's next?
What now? what comes?

Even with my wisdom, will they pass the debtors? So much must be done.

For them, I must fret
Things will soon get rough
Is my guidance quite enough?

I hope you know, I care for both of you,
My little teacups...

My boys, I fear your task is all but doom,
Don't fret, my teacups...

I feel that the time has come...
My guidance is all but gone...

There are dangers to atone...
And they must do it alone...

Though they have the upper hand...
Both of them must understand...
That danger is near, you cannot fear, my teacups.

ELDER KETTLE: I know...I can't help them during this ordeal...and I'm reluctant to believe they have a chance against the Devil...

(Elder Kettle soon realizes something.)

ELDER KETTLE: Still...perhaps...it's not TOO far off to believe they can face him. Perhaps...the answer lies within the soul contracts. If they can fight the Devil, ordinarily that would mean the Devil would have to surrender the soul contracts to the Cups, with enough damage taken...the rest...falls on the boy's decisions...

(The song soon ends with the pearl moon shining up high in the sky, the curtain closes. as everyone gives an applause as the scene ends.)


(The curtain rises up again. This time it is daytime in Inkwell Glade...or at least the outskirts. Cuphead, and Mugman has gotten their planes assembled from Canteen Bottle, now...the two cups are standing at the edge of Inkwell Glade, standing in front of a tall red cubed building.)

CUPHEAD: The Die House. Hard to tell...but this building definitely isn't for looks.

(He's not wrong, y'know. The building is legit a large red die.)

MUGMAN: You think he's in there?

?: Think? D'oh, I'm hurt, kiddie, you should KNOW I'm always in here, HIDEY-HO!

(A boisterous voice chimed in. Cuphead and Mugman aimed their fingers for the worst, but the moment they've done that, the door to the Die House opened up. A familiar face has greeted the two, a man in purple with a purple and white dice shaped head.)

KING DICE: Cuphead, Mugman, we meet at last. Well? COME IN, COME IN

(Cuphead and Mugman reluctantly went on ahead in. The inside of the Die House was quite fancy looking. King Dice looks at the two, smirking, as he was standing in front of the door at the other side of the room.)

KING DICE: Now, surely you boys didn't come all this way to visit, lil ol' me, now did you? You HAVE the contracts don't you?

(While Cuphead, and Mugman were talking, and unbeknownst to the three, Hilda Berg and Elder Kettle is viewing the whole scene from behind the window.)

MUGMAN: Yes, sir!

CUPHEAD: Yep, we've got them right here.

(Cuphead soon takes out from his pocket, the soul contracts of Goope LeGrande, The Root Pack, Ribby & Croaks, Cagney Carnation, and Hilda Berg. He then gives it to King Dice who views them in an orderly fashion. He soon smiles and places them in his pocket.)

KING DICE: Well, well, ain't that a pip! Looks like you boys put the kibosh on them debtors, heh. The Devil will REALLY be overjoyed to see these babies again, HIDEY-HO!

CUPHEAD: (bitterly) I'm sure he'll be enthusiastic to see them, now can you just let us pass?

MUGMAN: (Whispers) Cuphead...

CUPHEAD: What? I get that he's the boss of us and all, but we're on a time limit here!

KING DICE: Oh...?

(King Dice soon walks up to the two, shadowing them. Cuphead now has a tad bit of regret for snapping back at him.)

KING DICE: So...what are ya sayin' Cupface? you're sayin' that your 'time limit' is your excuse for backtalkin' me?

CUPHEAD: No. That's not what I'm s-

KING DICE: Are you sayin' Cupface, that I ain't the boss is an excuse to walk on me like these here carpets?

(King Dice mentions as he points to the carpets as he gets closer and closer to Cuphead's face.)

CUPHEAD: N-no! That's not what I'm say-

KING DICE: Do you know who I am?

CUPHEAD: W-well...ehhh...

(King Dice soon smirks.)

KING DICE: No? Then how about I explain it in a language that even YOU kiddies can understand?

(King Dice soon snaps his fingers, and soon everything goes black.)

MUGMAN: Golly! Who turned off the lights!

(Soon, a single spotlight was placed down on King Dice. A drum begins to softly play)

KING DICE: A 1, and a 2 and a...

Don't Mess With King Dice
Lyrics by Kristopher Maddigan

Feat. King Dice & Chorus

(Jazz begins to play in the background. Cuphead and Mugman looks in confusion, and Hilda Berg and Elder Kettle only looked in concern. Soon...he begins to sing.)

King Dice
I'm Mr. King Dice, I'm the gamest in the land
I never play nice, I'm the Devil's right hand man

I can't let you pass, if ya ain't done everything
Bring me those contracts, c'mon, bring 'em to the King

If ya haven't finished your task, haven't worked assiduously
No, I cannot let you pass, don't you MESS with me!

King Dice & (Chorus)
Don't mess with King Dice... (Don't mess with King Dice!)
Don't mess with me... (Don't mess with him!)
Don't mess with King Dice... (Don't mess with King Dice!)
DON'T MESS WITH ME!

(Instrumental Interlude)

King Dice
I'm Mr. King Dice, heed just what I say
The Devil has his price, and I'll make sure you pay

I don't have time to mess around and I hope you will agree
Bring me those contracts, PRONTO! Don't you MESS with me!

King Dice & (Chorus)
DON'T MESS WITH KING DICE... (Don't mess with King Dice!)
DON'T MESS WITH ME...(Don't mess with him!)
DON'T MESS WITH KING DICE... (Don't mess with King Dice!)
DON'T MESS WITH ME-EEEHAHA!

KING DICE: Got THAT in your milk-for-brains, Cupface?

CUPHEAD: You're King Dice, you're the gamest in the land, you never play nice, you're the D-

KING DICE: Alright, alright! You get the picture.

(Lights flicker back on, as the music continues to play.)

KING DICE: And that's a lesson to you, DON'T mess with me. Those debtors did that once, but heh they ain't gonna do it again. Now then, as I was sayin' before I was RUDELY interrupted, you boys are all set here. You can head on over to the next isle, from the forests of Inkwell Glade, to the fun filled plaza of Inkwell Park.

MUGMAN: Inkwell Park? The amusement park, right?

KING DICE: Yes siree, them clownies are comin' to town. Plenty of fun goin' on over there, and plenty more marks for you to lean on, am I right?

CUPHEAD: I guess so.

KING DICE: Now...before you go, think fast!

(Catching Cuphead off guard, King Dice soon threw something at him. Cuphead soon regains his composure and looked at the lamp that was now resting on his gloves.)

CUPHEAD: An old lamp?! What's the big idea?! That's hurts pretty hard y'know!

KING DICE: Keep that milk warm, Cupface. That ain't any old lamp.

MUGMAN: What's so great about it?

KING DICE: You'll see soon enough. It's gonna be mighty handy for one of them debtors. Let's just say, we held on to it for him all this time, heh. I'm he'll want it back. Don't lose it, now.

CUPHEAD: Understood, I guess.

KING DICE: Good heh. Have fun, you two.

(Suddenly, King Dice slips down a appearing small hole in his spot. The moment King Dice slips down the hole, it disappears, leaving Cuphead and Mugman alone.)

CUPHEAD: (sighs) Another day of soul collecting. I'm starting to feel bad for these debtors.

(Cuphead and Mugman began walking, they soon take notice of the amusement park just at the distance.)

MUGMAN: Cheer up, Cuphead. I'm sure there'll be a way we can save them all. We just gotta do this for now.

?: RIGHT ON THE MONEY, MUGMAN!

(Coming from behind them, Cuphead and Mugman soon turned around and notices Hilda Berg and Elder Kettle panting, and running towards the two, through the Die House exit.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Elder Kettle?

HILDA BERG: Hi to you two, boys...

ELDER KETTLE: (Out of breath) (*huff* *huff*) Oh, thank the stars we caught you at the nick of time, (*huff* *huff*) I'm...not as young as I once was.

CUPHEAD: What are you two doing here?

HILDA BERG: Kettle filled me in. He says he found a way out of the mess you're in.

(The news itself was enough to brighten Cuphead and Mugman's mood again.)

CUPHEAD: Really?!

MUGMAN: Hot dawg, you have?!

(Elder Kettle finally regains his breath.)

ELDER KETTLE: Ahem, indeed, boys. I felt that your strength has been growing, when you both came back home. Before I went to bed, it came to me, Freedom.

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Freedom?

ELDER KETTLE: Ideally, you boys may just have the strength to be a match against King Dice and maybe even Devil himself!

MUGMAN: You really think so?

ELDER KETTLE: I do, but you'll never get close to even try, unless you already have those soul contracts in your hands.

HILDA BERG: Already this plan sounds like it's failing, considering Cup and Mugs already gave our contracts to King Dice.

ELDER KETTLE: Even so, knowing the Devil, he won't destroy them...but you can! Should the Devil get all the contracts, you must confront them, fight him, and then turn the tables on him by getting the contracts back. When the time comes, do the right thing.

MUGMAN: How will we know what's the right thing?

ELDER KETTLE: You will know. So long as you keep my guidance in mind, you will know what to do in time.

HILDA BERG: Seems like a crazy plan, but don't worry, I'll see what I can do to help.

CUPHEAD: You're gonna fight with us?

HILDA BERG: HECK NO! Doing so will attract their attention. I can't fight with you, but I'll help in anyway possible.

CUPHEAD: Can you help us out with what the heck this lamp's supposed to be?

(Hilda and Elder Kettle looks and takes notice of the shining tan colored lamp. Elder Kettle looks stumped, but Hilda knows exactly what it means.)

HILDA BERG: Djimmi's lamp! If King Dice gave you that, then that means he wants you to catch him.

MUGMAN: Who's Djimmi?

HILDA BERG: Djimmi the Great, a genie who made a deal with the Devil. Djimmi sold his soul to him and in return the Devil would free him from his lamp, and eternal genie servitude. The Devil freed him, and Djimmi just bolted out. Soulless just like all of us.

ELDER KETTLE: A genie's life is never an easy one.

CUPHEAD: So catching him means...imprisoning him again, and that means...

HILDA BERG: Djimmi will be your master if you touch him with the lamp, that being said King Dice wants you to make him wish out his soul contract. He'll have no choice but to do it. For a stupid gambler, Dice is pretty clever.

MUGMAN: Golly Hilda, you sure know allot about those debtors huh?

HILDA BERG: We all have something in common. We sold our soul to him, remember? And now we're just saving our skins.

ELDER KETTLE: Hilda, perhaps that alone could prove useful to their venture.

HILDA BERG: Huh?

ELDER KETTLE: If you wish to help them, you should perhaps give them the information needed for these debtors. You don't have to fight with them, you'd only need to carefully follow them and tell them what you know about their debtors.

CUPHEAD: Do you think you can do all that?

HILDA BERG: A tall order, but anything to wipe the smirks off the Devil and Dice's faces.

MUGMAN: HOT DAWG!

CUPHEAD: That's good!

ELDER KETTLE: Glad that you all have a plan set up now. I think, now I must return back home, if it's all the same to you boy-

(Cuphead, catching Elder Kettle off guard, immediately went and hugged the warm teapot.)

CUPHEAD: Thank you...for having faith in us...

ELDER KETTLE: (chuckles) I would never look down at my little teacups when they're in need.

(Soon, tearing up, Mugman soon joins in on the family hug.)

MUGMAN: You're the best, Elder Kettle...

(Tears begin to form down on the elder teapot. Soon a piano begins to start up.)

ELDER KETTLE: I know...

My Little Teacups(Reprise 2)
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Elder Kettle

(Compelled with emotions...Elder Kettle begins to sing once more to his little teacups.)

Elder Kettle
I hope you know I care for both of you
My little teacups...

My boys, I fear your task is all but doom
My little teacups...

I will guide you if I can,
But you both must understand

That danger is near, you cannot fear, my teacups.

Through Inkwell Park, your quest begins anew
It's time, my teacups...

Monsters will grow, and tear you both in two,
Stay strong, my teacups...

You must attack, you must fight back,
I know you'll win, and overwhelm him
Fight and prevail, my little teacups

(Instrumental Interlude)

CUPHEAD: Elder Kettle...no doubt you have truly helped us throughout this quest.

MUGMAN: I don't think we could've ever done this without all your advice and guidance and wisdom and stuff!

ELDER KETTLE: Thank you...it means, much to me. Coming from the both of you. Stay safe...all of you.

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: WE WILL, THANK YOU ELDER KETTLE!

HILDA BERG: I'll keep out for them, Elder! Stay safe!

ELDER KETTLE: Of course, and thank you Miss. Berg for coming to their aid!

(Cuphead, Mugman, and Hilda Berg got going. Inkwell Park awaits them as Elder Kettle waved goodbye, knowing that they won't be coming back in a while. Tears were flowing down the teacup's face.)

ELDER KETTLE: Stay safe.

Elder Kettle
I hope you know, I care for both of you,
My little teacups...

My boys, I fear your task is all but doom,
Don't fret, my teacups...

I feel that the time has come...
My guidance is all but gone...

There are dangers to atone...
And they must do it alone...

Though they have the upper hand...
Both of them must understand...
That danger is near, you cannot fear, my teacups.

(The curtain closes as Elder Kettle gives one last smile, for we won't see him for a while.)


(After the applause, Cuphead, Mugman, and Hilda Berg traveled through the dazzling funfair that is Inkwell Park. Truly everyone from Inkwell Isle has come through this place, and many performers performing for everyone nonetheless. The lively circus performers soon sang out to everyone.)

MUGMAN: Wowee...

CUPHEAD: Yep you know it's a fair.

HILDA BERG: I wouldn't say we have time to go sight-seeing. Pass through the parade. I know where to find a debtor that's pretty close to the main streets. Hmm...this is...kinda a bit difficult...

MUGMAN: Maybe we should ask for directions?

(Hilda only shrugged.)

HILDA BERG: Eh, sure I'm game.

CUPHEAD: Let's ask him.

(Soon Cuphead, Mugman, and Hilda soon approaches a juggling performer, juggling away while balancing on a bouncy ball.)

CUPHEAD: Excuse me?

JUGGLER: Not now, sunny! I'm making a world record thing, for ALL Inkwell to see. I'll finally be noticed by the circus heh!

HILDA BERG: That's fine then, We're only here for a moment of your time. We're only here to ask if you know where Baroness Von Bon-Bon is

JUGGLER: Von Bon-Bon, sheesh now that's a name for any other freakshow, eh? Sorry, but I don't know where The Baroness lives. Why do you mucks wanna meet with someone as important as the Candy Baroness of Inkwell Park?

MUGMAN: Oh, because she's needed by the Devil!

CUPHEAD & HILDA BERG: MUGMAN!

JUGGLER: The Devil, alrighty then I'm sure there's someone in the Park who may k-WOWOWOWOW THE DEVIL!?

(Suddenly that caught everyone's attention. Soon everyone began singing only one word As music began to play.)

One Hell of a Guy
Lyrics by SailorCheryl
Feat. Juggler, King Dice, & Chorus

Chorus
The Devil? THE DEVIL?!
THE DEVIL, THE DEVIL, THE DEVIL?!

Juggler
The cunning, grinning evil, they say he is a HELL of a guy
He's sure to be a hell of a guy,
He loves the hell like no other guy

Don't deal with the Devil, for if you dare to try...
YOU'RE GONNA CRY
YOU'RE GONNA CRY
Here's the reason why!

Juggler & Chorus
A smart cookie with handle, gotta nab the souls of the land
Fights his foes with all other friends
To clear a debt, the time is at hand

Male Chorus
PIRATES!

Female Chorus
GHOSTS!

Juggler
And mermaids are standing in their way...

Juggler, Female Chorus, & (Male Chorus)
You're gonna die (You're gonna die)
Several times (Several times, while he survives)
At least he will survive

Chorus & (Juggler)
Lots of beings die and it's quite sad (Sooo sad!)

Chorus & (Hilda Berg)
Once goodminded, suddenly turn mad (It's true...)

(The lone juggler soon points to Cuphead and Mugman specifically.)

Juggler & (Chorus)
But, will these Cupheads share the same fate? (Same fate...)
Behaving like a slave, when it's too late (When it's too late, when it's too late)

It would be an everlasting shame (For shame)
For if they play the Devil's evil game (The Devil's game)

But if they both triumph and beat this guy (Beat this guy...)

Juggler, Chorus, & (Base Chorus)
All the souls will come on back to life! (Come back to life)

(Hilda Berg only sighs as she knows that Cuphead and Mugman are truly playing the Devil's game. Her main concern is if they win...or if the Devil wins.)

Juggler & Chorus
The cunning, grinning evil, they say he is a HELL of a guy
He's sure to be a hell of a guy,
He loves the hell like no other guy

Don't deal with the Devil, for if you dare to try...

Juggler, Female Chorus, & (Male Chorus)
YOU'RE GONNA CRY (You're gonna cry)
YOU'RE GONNA CRY (You're gonna cry and here's why!)
Here's the reason why!

(Meanwhile at the Die House window, just at the other side of the park, King Dice only listens in, and sings his own share of the lyrics to truly emphasize the threat that The Devil holds.)

King Dice
Here's why,
What more reason to say why?
For the Devil has powers to make ya Cupheads fry, O FRY!

(Meanwhile back at the park, everyone was simply dancing around, as all the performers were playing, and dancing around Cuphead, Mugman, and Hilda Berg.)

Chorus
Can't you see it's a dangerous game, and the Devil's infame
Try your might, he's hellish guy, one wrong move and you're gonna fry

It's a dangerous roll, it's a roll for souls
Where's the fun when game is rigged?

Juggler
There is no fun cause it's...

Chorus & Juggler
A dangerous game, and the Devil's infame
Try your might, he'll always win, one wrong move and it'll be grim

It's a deadly roll, and he's in control
Go on and try, you're gonna die, in the hole all Inkwell Digged

Juggler & Chorus
The cunning, grinning evil, they say he is a HELL of a guy
He's sure to be a hell of a guy,
He loves the hell like no other guy

So, Don't deal with the Devil, for if you dare to try...

Juggler, Female Chorus, & (Male Chorus)
YOU'RE GONNA CRY (You're gonna cry)
YOU'RE GONNA CRY (You're gonna cry and that's why!)
Those are
the reason why!

Juggler
Why?

Male Chorus, & (Female Chorus)
YOU'RE GONNA CRY (You're gonna cry)
YOU'RE GONNA CRY (You're gonna cry and that's why!)
Those are
the reason why!

Juggler
WHY!?

Juggler, Female Chorus, & (Male Chorus)
YOU'RE GONNA CRY (You're gonna cry)
YOU'RE GONNA CRY (You're gonna cry and that's why!)
Those are
the reason why!

Juggler
That's WHY~!

(Everyone simply laughed and cheered as the performance was finished. Uneasiness filled in the minds of Cuphead and Mugman, but Hilda has seen it all to know that every word they're saying is true.)

MUGMAN: Golly, a bit morbid don't you think?

HILDA BERG: Even so, what's done is done, boys. So...let's just see if we can find Baroness Von Bon-Booooooooon...?

(Hilda Berg's attention was soon towards a little gingerbread child who was using her coins to buy herself a balloon. Hilda Berg soon grabbed the two cups.)

MUGMAN: HEY!

CUPHEAD: What's the big idea?!

HILDA BERG: shhhhhh...howdy do there, little girl! How are things?

GINGERBREAD GIRL: Oh, Hiya Miss. Hilda Berg? Mommy says you wouldn't leave the skies.

HILDA BERG: Well...uhhh, I'm helping these two out. Come to think of it, I'm trying to find your mommy sooo...can you take us to her? I mean...if it's all the same to you.

GINGERBREAD GIRL: Sure! Mommy always welcomes guests especially if they're friends with you, Miss Hilda! Follow me!

(Soon, the gingerbread girl runs off amidst the walking circus as Cuphead, Mugman, and Hilda Berg follows her quickly.)

CUPHEAD: Soo...I assume her mom is Baroness Von Bon-Bon?

HILDA BERG: Correctimundo.

MUGMAN: Golly, is the Baroness married?

HILDA BERG: Nah, she runs an ENTIRE kingdom of candy. She basically calls all the candy people her children, even though she's not. This Gingerbread Girl is no doubt one of Baroness' creations.

CUPHEAD: Creations?

HILDA BERG: The Baroness use to be nothing more than a peasant girl, and her dream was to be apart of this event that's always in Inkwell Park known as the Cookie Carnival. (narrowing her eyes) Well...a certain DICE character helped her alright.

MUGMAN: King Dice? Golly, that seems pretty nice.

HILDA BERG: Yeah pretty nice of him, but of course King Dice is a man of business. He presented the Devil's contract to the Baroness, Somethin' most likely on the line of 'Sign this contract, and I do declare that you'll not only be in that parade, but you'll be a QUEEN!' You boys can guess what happens next.

CUPHEAD: She sold her soul to the Devil.

HILDA BERG: That's right.

MUGMAN: But then...she became the Queen of the Cookie Carnival, right?

HILDA BERG: Oh most definitely, and overfilled with joy, she announced that King Dice would be...well King.

CUPHEAD: What happened next?

HILDA BERG: Well...things don't quite last, especially for a Devil's lackey like King D-

GINGERBREAD GIRL: WE'RE HERE!

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman looked to see that they were in front of the entrance to the Lollipop Forest.)

HILDA BERG: Beyond this forest leads to the Baroness's Candy Castle. I'll just...enjoy the fair, while you two fight off against her. She's not as happy as she once was before, believe me.

MUGMAN: You're not coming with us?

HILDA BERG: Like I said, I'm helping you give some info on the debtors, and well...WHY they made a deal with the Devil. I'm not helping you fight them, you guys just go on ahead, and I'll meet you by the Dessert Mirror.

CUPHEAD: Thanks Hilda, you've really been a great help to us so far.

GINGERBREAD GIRL: C'MON! Mama will wanna meet you guys!

(Cuphead and Mugman ran as the Gingerbread Girl got a head start as the three journey into the Lollipop Forest as the curtain closes.)


(As the audience gives an applause, the curtain rises up and the Gingerbread Girl, Cuphead, and Mugman are now at the Candied Capital. In front of them is a large pink candied castle with eyes. Cuphead and Mugman notices that the entire area they were in is completely candied coated or covered or just candy in general.

(The Gingerbread Girl knocks on the door.)

GINGERBREAD GIRL: MAMA VON-VON? I'M BACK!

(A voice chimed from inside.)

?: In just a minuuuuuute~

(The castle begins to open up its mouth as Baroness Von Bon-Bon comes out majestically. A pink human with bright yellow eyes, skinny, completely wearing an pink candied dress.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Ahhhh, my dear sweet Gingerbread Girl, I do hope you had a fun time watching the fair?

GINGERBREAD GIRL: I sure did, Mommy! I made some new friends too!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (sighed) Bah, fiddlesticks, I wish I could've been there. The duty of a ruler of a candied kingdom has no end, unfortunately. But enough of that, who are your new friends?

(Gingerbread Girl turns around to introduce Cuphead and Mugman.)

GINGERBREAD GIRL: These are my new friends, Cuphead and Mugman! It's a shame that Miss H-

(The Gingerbread Girl was completely taken aback when suddenly growling was heard from the Baroness. Needless to say, the candied ruler was not pleased to see the two cups. Quickly she grabbed Gingerbread Girl by the head.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Stifling) Come with me PLEASE, Gingy...

GINGERBREAD GIRL: Uh-ohh...am I in trouble?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Of course not, you're not in trouble at all...

(Baroness Von Bon-Bon soon goes back into the castle with Gingerbread Girl in her hand. She soon comes out without her.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Oh-hooooo she's not in trouble, but YOU ARE, Devil's little errand boys. YOU'RE NOT TAKING MY SOUL CONTRACT, WITHOUT A FIGHT! A fight that all of Sugarland WON'T LOSE!

(She says as she made a slitting motion to her neck, which suddenly flipped up and then down, motioning that Cuphead and Mugman are going down. Her cane soon pulls her back into the castle.)

Sugarland Shimmy
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Baroness Von Bon-Bon, & the Citizens of Sugarland

BARONESS VON BON-BON: THIS CASTLE IS ON HIGH ALERT, I REPEAT HIGH ALERT! The Devil's little errand boys have left from Inkwell Glade, and are now coming to nab MY soul contract! And you know how important my contract is, DO YOU NOT?!

CITIZENS OF SUGARLAND: YES, YOUR MAJESTY!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: And will we allow the Devil to GET HIS WAY, AGAIN?!

CITIZENS OF SUGARLAND: NO, YOUR MAJESTY!

(Drums begin to strum as the music begins.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Then my people...it is time we embark...TO WAR!

CITIZENS OF SUGARLAND: TO WAR!

GINGERBREAD GIRL: To war?

(The entirety of the Sugarland capital up roared as Cuphead and Mugman looked in concern. Coming out from the castle is a monstrous Candy Corn, Kernel Von Pop, an obstacle needed to get past Baroness Von Bon-Bon, they fired away as the people of Sugarland begins to sing.)

Male Chorus & (Female Chorus)
It's time to fight in the name of Sugarland, (For Sugarland!)
We won't allow them harm the Baroness, the Baroness

Female Chorus & (Male Chorus)
We fight for what's right in the name of Sugarland, (For Sugarland!)
We won't allow them to harm Baroness Von Bon-Bon!

(As on cue, Cuphead and Mugman finished off the Kernel Von Pop. Baroness Von Bon-Bon peers out from the castle gate as she begins to sing.)

Baroness Von Bon-Bon & (Gingerbread Girl)
It's time you've met your match (Huh?)
Get ready for a second batch (Why?)
It's time you've met your match (Mama?)

Baroness Von Bon-Bon & (Chorus)
It's time you Cupheads get (DISPATCHED!)

(A brawl is TRULY brewing in this battle as another guard comes after the two Cups. They begin firing at a tapdancing Gumball Machine. It is Sargent Gumbo Gumbull coming this way.)

Baroness Von Bon-Bon, Chorus, & (Sargent Gumbo Gumbull)
It's time you've met your match! (YAP!)
Get ready for a second batch! (THAT'S RIGHT!)
It's time you've met your match,

Baroness Von Bon-Bon, & Sargent Gumbo Gumbull
It's time you Cupheads FINALLY GET DISPATCHED!

Chorus, (Baroness Von Bon-Bon, & Sargent Gumbo Gumbull)
It's time to fight in the name of Sugarland! (FOR SUGARLAND!)
We won't allow them to the Baroness, (LET'S TAPPITY-TAP, WHOO!)

Fight for what's right in the name of Sugarland, (Fight for what you believe!)
We won't allow them to see Baroness Von Bon-Bon!

Sargent Gumbo Gumbull
It's the Shimmy for Sugarland
It's the Shimmy that'll never stop

It's the Shimmy for Sugarland
We'll Shimmy until ya drop!

Chorus, Sargent Gumbo Gumbull & (Jelly Bully Squad)
It's a Shimmy (Won't stop!) for Sugarland (Till ya drop!)

It's the Shimmy (Won't stop!) that'll never stop! (Till ya drop!)

It's the Shimmy (Won't stop!) for Sugarland, (Till ya drop!)
We'll Shimmy (Won't stop!) until ya drop! (Till ya drop!)

(Sargent Gumbo Gumbull gets destroyed, and Baroness Von Bon-Bon brings out her next champion: A flying waffle. He is known as Sir Waffington III)

Baroness Von Bon-Bon
So get steady, it's time to get ready, it's a battle brawl so sweet!

It's a cavity greet (WOW!) and the end you will meet
Merely hopeless, can't you see, our Sugar Kingdom, it'll never be beat!

Chorus
RIGHT-O!

Baroness Von Bon-Bon & Chorus
So get steady, it's time to get ready, it's a battle brawl so sweet!

It's a cavity greet, and the end you will meet
Merely hopeless, can't you see, our Sugar Kingdom, it'll never be beat!

Chorus
RIGHT-O!

Baroness Von Bon-Bon & (Chorus)
It'll never be beat. (NEVER!)

With our great candy fleet (THEY'RE SO GREAT!)
No need to holler or bleat (NO NEED TO YELL!)
Cause you're in for a treat!

Baroness Von Bon-Bon & (Sir Waffington III)
So get steady, (Get steady) it's time to get ready (Get ready), it's a battle brawl so sweet! (It's a battle brawl so sweet!)

It's a cavity greet (It's a cavity greet!), and the end you will meet (It's your death you'll meet!)
Merely hopeless, can't you see, our Sugar Kingdom, it'll never be beat!

Sir Waffington III
ACK!

(On cue, Sir Waffington falls once more, it's clear that Sugarland is amidst chaos. Soon, a cupcake comes leaping out of the castle door.)

Chorus
We have the mightiest champions here

It says enough for you Cupheads to fear
We have the mightiest champions here
It says enough for you Cupheads to fear

(Muffsky Chernikov), Chorus, & (Jelly Bully Squad)
(SPLAT!) We'll fight and fight! (We'll protect the Baroness)
(SPLAT!) Fight for what's right! (We'll defend the Baroness)
(SPLAT!) We'll fight and fight! (To protect the Baroness)
(SPLAT!) We'll fight for all that's right!

(Muffsky Chernikov) & Gingerbread Girl
(SPLAT!) But why do we fight? Why show our might? why do we sing this song?
(SPLAT!) Just why are they fiends? And why use your team? They don't seem so mean, oh what did they do so wrong?

(Muffsky Chernikov), Chorus, & (Jelly Bully Squad)
(SPLAT!) We'll fight and fight! (We'll protect the Baroness)
(SPLAT!) Fight for what's right! (We'll defend the Baroness)
(SPLAT!) We'll fight and fight!

Chorus & Jelly Bully Squad
You'll never get the Baroness!

(And soon, another champion falls as Muffsky Chernikov's cheery explodes with him as well. The Baroness brings out another champion, a chomping jawbreaker who calls himself Lord Gob Packer.)

Lord Gob Packer(Overlapping)
Waka, waka, waka, waka
Waka, waka, waka, waka,

Baroness Von Bon-Bon & (Jelly Bully Squad)
So get steady, (Won't stop!) it's time to get ready, (Till ya drop!) it's a battle (Won't stop!) brawl so sweet! (Till ya drop!)

Lord Gob Packer(Overlapping)
Waka, waka, waka, waka
Waka, waka, waka, waka,

(Won't stop!) It's a cavity greet (Till ya drop!), (Won't stop!) and the end you will meet (Till ya drop!)

Lord Gob Packer(Overlapping)
Waka, waka, waka, waka
Waka, waka, waka, waka,

Merely (Won't stop!) hopeless, can't you see (Till ya drop!), our Sugar Kingdom, it'll never (Won't stop!) be beat! (Till ya drop!)

Chorus
YEAH!

(Thus Lord Gob Packer has been eliminated. All of the Baroness's champions have been defeated by Cuphead and Mugman...but it doesn't stop there. Baroness climbs up the top of the castle, and maliciously gives a wide smile at the cups, as she glared daggers at them. She soon pull the castle columns waking the castle up. It begins to form yellow monstrous eyes, as in began to grow arms and started moving.)

Baroness Von Bon-Bon
GET THEM!

Whippet Creampup(Overlapping)
RAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Chorus
Sugary sweets, can never be beat
Enjoy our treat, it's the LAST you'll ever meet!

Baroness Von Bon-Bon(Overlapping)
Sugary sweets, can never be beat
Enjoy our treat, it's the LAST, YOU'LL EVER MEET!

Male Chorus, (Female Chorus & Jelly Bully Squad)
We'll defend the Baroness (We'll defend the Baroness),
You'll never get the Baroness (You'll never get the baroness)

We'll protect the Baroness! (WE'LL PROTECT THE BARONESS!)
You'll never get the Baroness (YOU'LL NEVER GET THE BARONESS!)

Baroness Von Bon-Bon, Chorus (Gingerbread Girl)
It's time you've met your match! (WAIT!)
It's time for our second batch! (MAMA!)
It's time you've met your match, it's time you Cupheads finally get dispatched!

It's time you've met your end! (NO!)
It's time you Cupheads break and bend! (BUT WHY!)
It's time you've met your end (STOP!),

Chorus
We'll send you right back TO YOUR DEVIL FRIEND!

Baroness Von Bon-Bon
Why sugarcoat it? You boys never stood a chance
You boys evoke, you boys went broke, so you dance the Devil's dance
And now you've coiled all of Inkwell Isle to the Tango of Enchance

Such disappointment, to the one who lost it all!
You've sold your soul, you've paid the toll, and now you're forced to crawl
We will attack, we will fight back, IT IS TIME YOU CUPHEADS FALL!

Everyone(Minus Cuphead, Mugman, & Gingerbread Girl)
So Cupheads time to get ready, for a brawl so sweet
It's a cavity greet, and the end you will meet
Merely hopeless, can't you see, the Sugar Kingdom, it'll never be beat!

YEAH!

So Cupheads time to get ready, for a brawl so sweet!
It's a cavity greet, and the end you will meet!
Merely hopeless, can't you see, the Sugar Kingdom, it'll never be beat!

YEAH!

MERELY HOPELESS, CAN'T YOU SEE, THE SUGAR KINGDOM, IT'LL NEVER BE BEAT!

YEAH!

Baroness Von Bon-Bon
Merely hopeless, can't you see, the Sugar Kingdom, it'll never be beat!

Everyone(Minus Cuphead, Mugman, & Gingerbread Girl)
OH YEAH!

(As the castle begins to move, the Gingerbread Girl climbs the top of the castle to confront the maddened Baroness.)

GINGERBREAD GIRL: I don't understand, mama! Why would ya harm them? They didn't do anything wrong!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: They've done PLENTY, Gingy, they're out to get me! And if you value the life of your Baroness, you fight for us, or you fight against us. Those Cupheads will PAY THE PRICE!

GINGERBREAD GIRL: But why? Aren't ya being too rough on them?!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: NO!

GINGERBREAD GIRL: You're being unreasonable!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: I don't DARE want to be reasonable with another one of the Devil's puppets!

GINGERBREAD GIRL: B-but wasn't that nice King Dice person the D-

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Red with COMPLETE anger) DON'T YOU DARE UTTER THAT NAME IN MY PRESENCE!

(Gingerbread Girl flinched in sheer terror at her ruler. Baroness' rage softens as she looks in surprise, making one of her subjects cower in fear.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: I really have gone soulless...

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

WHIPPET CREAMPUP: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

(The castle begins to shake and shimmer, as Baroness begins to fall off to the ground, with her own head snapping off.)

GINGERBREAD GIRL: MAMA!

(Her eyes then opened up.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: I'm fine! I'm fine...you weren't watching the battle, it comes off every time.

GINGERBREAD GIRL: That sounds...scary...

MUGMAN: YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE BATTLE, IT'S WORSE WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE FIGHTING!

(Cuphead and Mugman pointed their fingers at the head of the Baroness as she only rolled her eyes. She looked back seeing her army fallen and injured, and the castle completely bruised and battered.)

CUPHEAD: Make this easy on us? I don't think your Kingdom should handle more.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Looking skeptically) And what do you know about running a Kingdom?

CUPHEAD: Enough to see that you're really pushing everyone to the limit. I know that they want to protect you and all...but c'mon, they shouldn't have to suffer. No one should... (lowering his head) as you can probably tell...I'm kinda getting tired of making people suffer...

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Seems that I'm not really in the spot for debate...I...I think my people has had enough. But that doesn't change anything, you Cuphead are minions to those SCUM, and I won't stand for it! I WANT JUDGEMENT FOR BEING SO WRONGED! (tears begin to flow) I JUST wanted to join the Cookie Carnival...like...IS THAT TOO HARD?! To the extent of having to SELL MY SOUL to join it?!

MUGMAN: Hilda told us about it, but she...she never told us the bad blood you had with King Dice.

(Tears flowed down the Baroness's face, as she only looked in anger.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: King Dice...is a no good liar and a hoodlum. Hilda probably told you all that's happen so I'll just skip to the details. When I deemed King Dice as my Cookie King, we both could've been King Dice and Queen Bon-Bon, and he helped me make my kingdom: Sugarland.

CUPHEAD: What happened?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: That trickster...I found out his true colors. When he was outside in the forest, and I had to find him to get him to dinner...I saw him talking...and giving something to...Him. The Devil himself. It was...my own soul. It hurts for me to realize that...the contract I signed for the cookie carnival...was a deal with the Devil...I...sold my soul to Satan...(Voice wavering) that trickster didn't even MENTION anything to me...I feel so...USED...and so EMPTY at the same time!

MUGMAN: Golly...that's actually pretty dark.

CUPHEAD: Baroness...

GINGERBREAD GIRL: Mama...

(All the injured citizens of Sugarland only looked in sadness and concern at their defeated Ruler as she was only crying. She soon sniffles and held back the tears.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: That's right, Cuphead...when he found out I knew, he tried to take my contract. My children only drove him out. Queen Bon-Bon left with King Dice...now...it's just...

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Baroness Von Bon-Bon...

CUPHEAD: Baroness...I'm...I'm sorry that happened to you...

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Coming from you...it doesn't make me feel any better.

CUPHEAD: (smiling and narrowing his eyes.) How...about this? When the time comes, Baroness, I can give that no good King Dice a beat down...just for you. I never liked him anyway.

(Baroness soon showed...a meek smile.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: That...actually makes me a tiny bit better. Words coming from the Devil's own puppets.

CUPHEAD: Meh, I'm no puppet. I prefer to be the puppeteer for once. I promise you, Baroness...that I'll give King Dice AND The Devil a piece of my mind. Though you'll probably lack your Queenship, your soul is just as rewarding enough, isn't it?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (wavering, and more tears flows down the head of the ruler) I can't believe you're saying all of this...after all that I've done to you and your brother...(she soon turns to her subjects.) On top of that...how do you all see me as a ruler? Even after the misery I've put you through? Making you fight MY battles?

(Soon, a small pink Jelly Bully comes forth.)

JELLY BULLY: Your majesty, you are the wisest, and most majestic ruler of Sugarland! Though many have suffered because of this, their suffering hasn't been in vain. In the end of the day:

CITIZENS OF SUGARLAND: You'll still be our Queen

GINGERBREAD GIRL: And the children will always be your children, like me!

(The Gingerbread Girl soon hugs the Baroness's decapitated body...reluctantly. The Baroness smiles warmly, looking at all the smiles on everyone's face.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Thank you...all of you...for still having faith for me. I promise you...I will be a better B-no. A better Queen for your sakes. I shall start...by fighting my own fights, my first fight...WILL BE TOWARDS THE DEVIL!

CITIZENS OF SUGARLAND: YAY!

(Cuphead and Mugman smiles as all of Sugarland cheers. Soon, her head leaps up to Cuphead's gloves.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Cuphead...I want to help you. You mentioned you're with Hilda Berg, right? Well...I wanna be by her side to help you two...in anyway I can. Though...I probably don't think I will be as...Handy as before.

CUPHEAD: Any help is necessary, so don't worry about it, Bon-Bon.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Good. Now...before I forget...JELLY BULLIES! Mission has aborted, bring forth the contract!

JELLY BULLY SQUAD: YES YOUR MAJESTY! HERE IT IS, RIGHT HERE!

(The Jelly Bully Squad comes forth marching with a large paper covering them. Cuphead picks it up the moment they stopped, it was the Baroness' soul contract.)

MUGMAN: Golly!

CUPHEAD: Your soul contract. Are you ready to depart with it, My Queen?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: I don't have much of a care anymore. All I want...is to get back at that no good trickster.

JELLY BELLY: B-But your Majesty...who's gonna rule Sugarland until you get bac-

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Gingy.

(All of Sugarland looked in surprise at the Baroness' quick and abrupt answer. Gingerbread Girl especially looks in surprise.)

GINGERBREAD GIRL: M-Me?!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: 1: I would put my champions in charge, but seeing as they've fallen and recovering, it's just too much, and 2: I get that you're just a child, but you're the first in Sugarland that saw that violence isn't the answer. It's crazy that you didn't want to fight them, out of everyone here. It makes me believe that...you'll probably be a better ruler than I.

GINGERBREAD GIRL: B-BUT MAMA! I'm not even royalty!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: So? If you watched the movies, you can see that Princesses isn't just based around who has royalty in them.

GINGERBREAD GIRL: But-

BARONESS VON BON-BON: You'll be fine, Gingy, I have faith in you.

GINGERBREAD GIRL: Wow...

JELLY BELLY SQUAD: HERES, TO PRINCESS GINGY!

CITIZENS OF SUGARLAND: HERE-HERE!

MUGMAN: Are you sure you're comfortable in letting a kid ruling an entire Kingdom?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Nah, but she has more ruling capabilities than even me. I think she'll make a great ruler, heh. Now...as they're cheering, we should uh...slip away.

CUPHEAD: You don't have to tell me twice.

(The curtain closes with the scene ending in the Citizens of Sugarland cheering for the hastily recruited Princess Gingy, as Cuphead, Mugman, and the head of Baroness Von Bon-Bon takes their lead.)


(After the applause from the audience, the curtain rises and the next scene opens up with Cuphead, Mugman and the head of the Baroness meeting with Hilda Berg who was just sitting by a pyramid shaped ride. When she notices the Baroness' head she looked in shock.)

HILDA BERG: (Loss for words, gasping in shock) Y-YOU DECAPITATED HER?!

MUGMAN: NONO! Before you have a heart attack, she's fine! Right, Baroness?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Hilda, it's been so long, heh.

(Hilda was only looking in shock. The decapitated head...was talking.)

HILDA BERG: H-Hi?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Now, Now, Hilda, you don't really need to get a-HEAD of yourself, dearie! HAHAHAHAHA!

CUPHEAD: Heh...

HILDA BERG: U-Uh...I...think I'm just gonna disregard the decapitated head for a second...and I'm gonna turn you boys to this...

(Hilda soon points to the large pyramid just behind her, with a projector screen just in front of it.)

MUGMAN: OOOOH, A PROJECTOR SCREEN! I always wanted to go in there!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Yeah...Inkwell Desert is pretty far away from here, and the people of Inkwell Park wanted it as an attraction, so they made this projector screen to get in there. Jump in and you should be taken straight to the movie.

(Cuphead soon looks at the projector information, showing a picture of a smug faced genie.)

CUPHEAD: Djimmi the Great in: Pyramid Peril. Looks like that's our man.

HILDA BERG: Y-you guys go on a head...I need some time to regain my composure. A TALKING UNATTACHED HEAD DOES THAT TO YOU!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Oh, brother Hilda, you're as dramatic as usual. But on topic, I hope you have flying carpets in those milk-for-brains, boys, because...it'll be a bit difficult to go through the desert on foot.

MUGMAN: That's OK, we've got these.

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman took out from their pockets miniature red and blue airplanes. The Baroness looks in confusion, but soon the moment they dropped the planes to the ground, the planes grew into a manageable size.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Woah...how did you?

CUPHEAD: It's one of Canteen's creations. We got it before we left the Glade this morning. It's a pocket protector. We press the shrink button on the commands, and the planes shrink down into pocket-size. We just drop them on the ground when we need to use them, again.

MUGMAN: Neat invention, right?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Well...something that Sugarland doesn't have, that's for sure.

(Cuphead and Mugman hopped on their planes. Cuphead places the Bodiless Baroness on the seat beside him, and he helped equipped her with a helmet and goggles.)

CUPHEAD: Safety first.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Kind of you, Cuphead. If I had a body, I probably would've gotten something else.

CUPHEAD: Don't worry about it, Your Majesty. Now then, Mugman are you ready?

(Both planes soon took flight)

MUGMAN: READY, CUPHEAD!

CUPHEAD: Good bro, BEACAUSE WE'RE OFF!

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman took flight and entered the projector screen, as the curtain closes as they're heading for their next soul contract: Djimmi the Great.)


(The curtain rises as Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness are now flying through the barren wasteland that is Inkwell Desert. The three soon notices a pyramid ruin just down below.)

CUPHEAD: He SHOULD Be somewhere here. I don't think a genie isn't so hard to miss in a barren place like this.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Genies are tricky, Cuphead, how do you plan to get Djimmi's contract?

(Cuphead soon takes out from his pocket, the lamp.)

CUPHEAD: King Dice gave me this lamp - sorry for mentioning him - anyway he gave me the lamp to catch Djimmi. His plan is to catch Djimmi. Hilda gave me some intel that once a genie is touched by someone in possession of their lamp, they're bounded once more to give them 3 wishes.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: So that no good King Dice wants you to imprison him again, so he can wish for you his soul contract. That's both clever AND cruel, a freed genie shouldn't be forced back into their lamp all because they made a deal with the Devil to release him,

?: PREACH, GIRLFRIEND!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Of all the people, a genie's life is the WORST! They're forced to deal with greedy, nasty, and smelly-

?: Don't forget badly hygienic.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Right, and badly hygienic thieves and brigands who only think for themselves!

?: TESTIFY!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: And now Djimmi's only chance of freedom and he had to sell his soul for it. I swear, people are low! The Devil is low! King Dice is low! THERE'S JUST TOO MANY LOW PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD!

?: CAN I GET AN AMEN ON THIS GIRL! HALLELUJAH!

MUGMAN: HALLELUJAH!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: HALLELUJAH!

CUPHEAD: HALLELUJAH!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: FINALLY! SOMEONE SENSIBLE TALKING TO ME, HAHAH!

CUPHEAD: OH YEAH, SOMEONE'S DEFINITELY TALKIN' SENSE AROUND HERE! NOW I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION IN MIND, BARONESS!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: ANYTHING CUPHEAD, JUST NAME IT! I'M IN A REALLY GOOD MOOD TODAY!

CUPHEAD: YEAH, I'M SURE YOU ARE, HAHAAAAA! Now uh...who's talking to us?

(Soon everything went silent. Throughout the Baroness's preaching...someone has been encouraging her, yet it was neither Cuphead nor Mugman. Soon, everyone turned around to see a bright red figure wearing a turban, a vest, pants, and lamps for shoes looking right at them.)

?: Oh, hi Mark.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: DJIMMI!

(Suddenly Djimmi changed into wardrobe and transformed into a man in a tux.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (Talking in a James Bond accent) That's my name, malady, shaken...not stirred.

(Djimmi suddenly changed again and is now dawning a red hat, and a completely red and white suit, topping the attire off with a large fluffy white beard.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (Talking in a Santa Clause accent) HOHOHO! You've all came so far to finding me, now what would you like for Christmas this year?

MUGMAN: SANTA CLAUSE! I-IT'S REALLY YOU?! OKOK! Uh...I want a-

CUPHEAD: Before you spray out your entire Christmas wish, we're not here for wishes or presents, Djimbo. We're here for your soul contract.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: It seems pretty easy to just give it up, Djimmi. We don't want to fight you.

(Djimmi reverts back to his regular clothing and smiled at the three, either way.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: BOYS! I don't quite think you realize what you've got here! Why don't I ruminate, whilst I illuminate the possibi-

CUPHEAD HOLD IT! I know where this is going, Djimbo. Trust me, the audience is STILL in mourning in regards to Robin William's death.

(Mugman began comically tearing up)

MUGMAN: I-I miss him, Cuphead...

CUPHEAD: I do too, Mugs. (He soon glares at the red genie) Mugman practically idolizes the guy. So uh...why don't you try something...I don't know...original? For Mugman's sake, PLEASE.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: For his sake.

(The genie soon narrowed his pac-man shaped eyes on Cuphead, Mugman, & Baroness Von Bon-Bon)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: Hmmm...I guess I stalled enough anyway. Very well then. You boys want original? HAHAHA! Your WISH is my command.

Pyramid Peril
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Djimmi the Great (& Djimmi variations)

(Djimmi soon blows his pipe as the pipe forms a skull and crossbone symbol. Music soon plays.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: LET'S GET ORIGINAL!

Announcer
Good day for a SWELL battle

(Soon, Djimmi hops on his carpet, and begins to sing.)

HERE IT GOES!

Djimmi the Great
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na,
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na,
N
a na na na na na na na na na na na na

(Soon Djimmi snaps his fingers, soon everything went black. Cuphead and Mugman soon looked in confusion Soon a simple spotlight flashed down, it was Djimmi in a white suit with a microphone in his hand whilst still on his carpet, and the desert around the 3. He began to sing.)

We are the master, I'm the Djinn of total chaos
We are the masters of chaotic disasters

We are the harbingers of magic and of mayhem
All those casters, we do it faster

For Alibaba is a guy hides behind some brigands
Shahrazad is just a meek book writer

Then came Aladdin and his magic little trinkets
They're all specs, they're all mere blighters, PSHAW!

(Soon, after taking out his golden chest, glowing blue scimitars began flying out from the chests. Soon, baring fangs, they were dangerously chasing after Cuphead and Mugman, whilst also going for the Baroness on Djimmi's order. He only continued to sing.)

Such treasures
Such wonders,
Poor humans
Such blunders,

So much nabbings
So much plunders
We Genies have POWERS ASUNDER!

We are the masters of the daring and adventurous
We are descendants of the legends and powers

We are the true heroes throughout every story book
Greedy humans, watch them cower!

We are the true mages, no human can ever top us
We are the sages of magic and mystery

If you Cupheads haven't taken notes of me yet,
LET ME SHOW YOU THROUGH HISTORY!

(Soon, Djimmi teleports out, and the Cupheads are transported into a maze of pillars and columns. Djimmi's laugh echoes throughout the maze. Cuphead soon sees that most of the columns have faces.)

So Mugs and Cup
Let's see if you Cupheads really stack up
For I think everyone here can agree
That you've never had a foe like me!

We are the true mages, no human can top us
We are the sages of magic and of mystery

If you Cupheads haven't taken notes of me yet,
LET ME SHOW YOU THROUGH HISTORY!

One jump ahead of luck
You boys are sitting ducks
Beyond these palace walls
I rule them all

Send all your armies tough
Just know they're not enough
For the Diamond in the Rough
Both of you will fall!

(Soon Djimmi disappeared once more, and Cuphead and Mugman are out of the column of mazes. Soon, a sarcophagus drops down in the desert sand. The sarcophagus is solid gold, looking completely like Djimmi. It opens up revealing...)

Dimensional Djimmi
YAAAA-AAAAH!

PHENOMINAL COSMIC POWERS! YET ITTY-BITTY LIVING SPACE, it's genie hell, I tell ya it ain't a life so swell
It's always this, it's always that, it's always 'GIVE ME A BIG-FAT KITTY CAT!'
There's no hell greater than that, and I will NEVER RETURN TO THAT

But while up high, there's a great big universe
You'd know my pain, if you were cursed

I mean REALLY! I'd be lucky if I'd seen the light of day, for one eternity
POOF! What do you need? and POOF! What do you need?
And POOF, POOF, POOF, POOF, POOF, POOF, POOF, POOF!

I can't stand it all, I wanted to fall, to maybe end it all, but THEN!
JUST THEN, I've met him...

So then I made a wish, and then he granted it
He asked for payment, and I left him!

So now you Cupheads come to me
You Cupheads want to vanquish me
Well here's a lil' thing about me
YOU'VE NEVER HAD A FOE LIKE ME!

Dimensional Djimmi & Djimmi the Great
One jump ahead of luck
You boys are sitting ducks
Beyond these palace walls
I rule them all

Send all your armies tough
Just know they're not enough
For the Diamond in the Rough

Djimmi the Great
I'VE AN IDEA!

(Both the sarcophagus and Djimmi disappeared. His hand, however was visible along with some puppet strings. Cuphead narrowed his yes as he, Mugman, and the Baroness was shown and taunted by a puppet version of Cuphead)

Puphead
Sabers spinning, sandstorms booming all through the endless sandy seas
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...I sold my soul to the Devil he

Without a wish, without a care, I gambled my soul away, all that I've dared
Well JOKES ON YOU, cause I'm not you! I'm my own person, free unlike you,

Cause I've got no strings, to hold me down
To make me fret, to make me frown!

I'm not weak-willed, not anymore! I'm a better Cuphead than that hideous boar
And I hope Mugman will think of me, as a better brother than he!

Cuphead
AHHHHHHHH-SHADDDAP!

(Instrumental Interlude)

(Soon everything began to rapidly go faster and faster. Cuphead and Mugman looked at the Djimmi, dizzily, seeing that he has enlarged in size. His eyes glowing yellow and triangles swirling around them.)

Djimmi the Great
Well...that's not nice. Someone should show you some manners, Cuphead. Allow ME!

(Interlude End)

BOOM, MY FRIEND!

BANG, MY FRIEND!

BLAST, MY FRIEND!

THIS IS WHERE YOU MEET YOUR END!

There's no escape, meet your fate, it's your destiny
You cannot win, things are grim, against ME!

There's no escape, meet your fate, it's your destiny
You cannot win, things are grim, against ME!

We are the masters of the daring and adventurous
We are descendants of the legends and powers

We are the true heroes throughout every story book
Greedy Cups, I'll watch you cower!

We are the true mages, no human can top us
We are the sages of magic and mystery

If you Cupheads haven't taken notes of me yet,
LET ME SHOW YOU THROUGH HISTORY!

In the sands soon, in the sand dunes
It is your doom, it is fate, it's too late

Send your squadron, send your guardsmen
THIS IS YOUR COFFIN, NO ESCAPE, IT'S YOUR FATE!

We are all, but a million miles away
It is crystal clear, I see your fear, it's time you Cupheads die today

Hope you won't collapse in fear, or else I'll need a volunteer
Then again, we all would cheer, that you would die this faithful day

I'm the star, I'm the legend, I'm the mage of history
Soon enough, you'll disappear, without a trace, A MYSTERY!

I'm the one in true control, who needs a heart, who needs a soul?
The day you Cupheads paid the toll, IS THE DAY YOU CUPS AWOKE THE TROLL!

Arabian nights...
You'll feel MY MIGHT~

Dimensional Djimmi & Puphead
You've never had a chance with ME!
You'll never dance the dance with ME!
You can't go toe to toe with ME!
YOU'VE NEVER HAD A FOE LIKE ME!

Djimmi the Great
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Dimensional Djimmi & Puphead(Overlapping)
Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Djimmi the Great
A whole new world
A whole new ME!
A high adventure for all to see!

Dimensional Djimmi & Puphead(Overlapping)
Na na na na na na na na na na na na!

A jump ahead
One hump away
TODAY YOU CUPHEADS FINALLY PAY!

Dimensional Djimmi & Puphead(Overlapping)
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

Djimmi the Great
You've NEVER
HAD A
FOE
LIKE

Djimmi the Great, (Dimensional Djimmi & Puphead)
ME~ (DJIMMI THE GREAT!)

(It's clear that mayhem is spreading throughout the desert, but such is the debtors resistance. Cuphead needs to find a way to outwit he who only boasts about himself and his kin.)

CUPHEAD: I really hate this guy's smug shtick. It's time we just about, end this.

(Cuphead soon pressed the button, the same as Canteen has done. Soon, with a poof of smoke, Cuphead's airplane turned into a bright red torpedo, just like before. He zooms in for the final hit...until suddenly...he stopped. Djimmi grabbed the Torpedo by the tail.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (smugly) I'm sorry, end WHAT exactly?

TORPEDO: Uh...hehe you have a lovely uh...um...

(Djimmi's laugh basically bellowed out and formed into a sandstorm. Time was running short...soon the Torpedo ended with a concealed...)

BOOM!

(It didn't seem to damage Djimmi at all, but Cuphead and the Bodiless Baroness were completely covered in soot. Djimmi only laughed.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Look Cuphead, Mugman, you've tried sooo hard, but let's face it! THIS is where you meet your best. You're battling...one of the most powerful beings in INKWELL ISLE!

MUGMAN: BUT YOU'RE ONLY AS POWERFUL AS THE ONE WHO GAVE YOU THE FREEDOM TO WIELD THEM!

(Mugman soon came zooming with the lamp. He soon flung it.)

MUGMAN: Soooooo...think fast!

DJIMMI THE GREAT: HA!

(Djimmi missed.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: What, so YOU'RE joining in on this parlor game, Muggy? You honestly thing my arrogance is large enough to be SOOO unaware of catching my own lamp? PLEASE! You Cupheads are SOOOO PRED-

(A clank was heard. Cuphead had the lamp in his hand. He touched Djimmi's arm with it.)

MUGMAN: I didn't say I was throwing it to you, now did I? Seems your arrogance is as large as ever, Djimmi.

(Djimmi looked in surprise. So surprised he was in shock...he only has one thing in mind.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (Talking in a Rodney Dangerfield Accent) I can't believe it, I lost to a Cup.

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

DJIMMI THE GREAT: WAAAAAAPBLABLBLLALBLALALALALAAAAAAAA!

(Suddenly the magic is compelling our genie friend like...magic. The lamp is resonating with its past prisoner, suddenly sucking Djimmi as if it was a vacuum cleaner. In a large cloud of red smoke, Djimmi disappears, and the last bit of smoke is sucked into the lamp.)

CUPHEAD: We've caught ourselves a genie, boys!

MUGMAN: YAY!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Open it up, and...well you know what to do.

(Indeed they know what to do. Cuphead, soon rubs the lamp a bit, and it begins to shake and shimmer. Soon it shot out a cloud of red smoke, and out came Djimmi once more, in a bored expression.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: I'd like to point out, that using my lamp to catch me is VERY under-handed.

MUGMAN: Sorry Djimmi, we kind of needed to do that.

DJIMMI THE GREAT: Yeah, yeah, I know. ANYWAY (sigh) let's get this over with. (Introduces himself in a very bored expression) The name's Djimmi the Great, yada, yada, yada, and you've rubbed my lamp, which means...by reluctance, I am to grant you Cups 3 wishes, yada, yada, yada.

CUPHEAD: It seems like you've done this routine allot huh?

DJIMMI THE GREAT: You have no idea. Now, what do you want?

MUGMAN: 3 wishes, Cuphead. (whispers) We can wish for 2 other things, alongside his contract, Cup! Do you have anything in specific that you want?

CUPHEAD: (whispers) Heh, a few.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Whispers) Cuphead, Djimmi's endured enough, don't you think you should j-

CUPHEAD: (speaks up) ALRIGHT DJIMMI! I'VE MADE UP MY 3 WISHES!

DJIMMI THE GREAT: ...joy.

CUPHEAD: My first wish...is a feast! For my brother, and the lovely Baroness!

(He suddenly dawns a waiter's outfit, and soon deliver's Cuphead's food under a silver platter. He soon opens the container up revealing...French food.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (Talking in a French accent) Bon appétit,

(Though Mugman and the Baroness are looking at Cuphead in confusion and concern...they can't deny a free meal. All of them began digging in as Djimmi only rolled his eyes, looking in boredom at the group.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (To himself) I was so looking forward to slinging you Cups down from the sky...

CUPHEAD: (Snapping his fingers) Now then...my second wish,

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (Smirking) I hope you put in some very DESCRIPTIVE detail about this next wish, Master. hehe, Oh WHATEVER will your second wish be? hehehe...

CUPHEAD: (Smirking & challenging the genie) Descriptive, eh? Well then...my second wish would be YOU, bringing me the soul contract of D-J-I-M-M-I the G-R-E-A-T property of the Devil's Office...aaaaand, here's a picture for good measures.

(Cuphead soon takes out a picture of Djimmi, who baffled while he looked at the Cuphead in surprise at the mugshot. Then...he came with the conclusion.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: How did...

CUPHEAD: I have my ways. Soooo...my second wish?

(Soon Djimmi formed grey hair and a grey moustache and beard.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (Talking in a Morgan Freeman accent) I suppose you can't get anymore specific than that, now can you?

(Djimmi soon snapped his fingers and floating blissfully at the soul contract. It was the official contract of Djimmi the Great, from the Devil's Office. Cuphead soon grabbed it and placed it in his pocket)

CUPHEAD: (smugly) Thank you my good, sir.

MUGMAN: (Looking in concern) Cuphead, Djimmi looks miserable...I know you wanna get the job done b-

CUPHEAD: Heh, don't worry, Mugman, I've got the best wish left, HAHAAAAA!

(Mugman and the Baroness only looked in concern, the Baroness...in disappointment. Djimmi only looked in defeat.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (Sigh) and what...master, would your FINAL wish, be?

CUPHEAD: (Smiling wickedly) Djimmi...I wish...FOR YOUR FREEDOM!

MUGMAN & BARONESS VON BON-BON: What?!

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (Sighs) Alright, alright, whatever. Here's your w-

(Djimmi soon stopped in realization of what Cuphead just says. He looked back at the cup in confusion, as Cuphead's wicked smile softened...into a warm and sincere smile. Djimmi was...shocked to say the least)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: W...what?

CUPHEAD: Djimmi...you're free...

(Cuphead soon relinquished the lamp from his hand. Soon the lamp begins to shake and shimmer, and soon with a cloud of smoke, Djimmi was...out of his lamp, and the energy of the lamp died once again. Djimmi picked up his lamp, once more...nothing...nothing came out...no energy left.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: I'm...I'm free...I mean...granted that this is the second time of freedom, but...but you Cuphead...after all I did you ya, I was so close to thinking you would wish for something, and to trap me for vengeance...but...you freed me, out of...sincerity...

CUPHEAD: OF COURSE! (Cuphead offers Djimmi a drumstick) Hungry after our battle?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Cuphead...I was so concerned that you would do the wrong thing...what made you free him?

CUPHEAD: C'mon guys, you REALLY thought I would do that to him, just because of our mission? I wanted to free him...because it would ease me a bit.

MUGMAN: Ease you?

CUPHEAD: Ease me. I've made so many mistakes and dealing with the Devil is high at the top of the list...to make matters worse, I've made all you debtors mad, because I'm forced to do all that, and even bringing you into this Mugman, it ached me so much. I was thinking...after what Elder Kettle said...I was thinking...since Hilda was there telling us just what it is that made you sell your souls, that...I could at least help you along the way through the mission.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (In tears) So you really weren't bluffing about giving King Dice a beating...t-that's so sweet of you Cuphead...

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (In tears as well) It is...BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

(Djimmi soon comes in and give Cuphead a great big hug)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: (In tears) T-T-THANK YOU, CUPHEAD! Y'know, I-I was so looking forward in crushing your glass head, b-b-GAAAAHUHUHUHUHHHHHHHH! I-I JUST CAN'T DO IT! I (sniffles) I really had you all wrong, little, buddy! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!

CUPHEAD: (Straining) T-Thank you...Djimmi...b-but uhh...can I PLEASE have my oxygen back?

DJIMMI THE GREAT: OH! hehe...

(Djimmi bashfully lets go of Cuphead)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: Thank you...Cuphead, I really appreciate it.

CUPHEAD: Of course, Djimmi. So uh...what are you gonna do now?

DJIMMI THE GREAT: Well for starters...

(Soon, Djimmi suddenly turns into a bright-red turban wearing puppy.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: ARF-ARF!

(Djimmi soon snatched the lamp out of Cuphead's gloves, and soon went down to the dessert. Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness looked in confusion, seeing Djimmi digging a hole in the dessert ground. Digging the hole big enough, he planted the lamp in, and kicked the sand back into the mound, burying it. He soon turns back to normal.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: There. I've made one mistake, letting King Dice and Devil keep their mitts on my lamp. This time, it won't happen again. Now then, now that I'm free as a bird, this time COMPLETELY, I think...I wanna explore all there is to Inkwell Isle.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: I hear Inkwell City's lovely this time of year, Djimmi, so consider that!

(Djimmi soon wearing a vacation button up shirt, and a suitcase in hand begins floating up high in the air.)

DJIMMI THE GREAT: DEFINITELY gonna see the plays, Miss. Baroness, IT'S NICE TO MEET YA, MUGMAN, And YOU. Thank YOU for giving me this opportunity, Cuphead!

CUPHEAD: Any time, Djimmi!

MUGMAN: G'BYE DJIMMI!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: I WISH YOU LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY, DJIMMI!

DJIMMI THE GREAT: INDEED! I'M OUTIE! I'M HISTORY, I'M MYTHOLOGY, BWAHAHH! WHAT DOES IT MATTER?! I DON'T CARE WHAT I AM, I'M FREE PERMANENTLY!

(Soon, flying up high in the sky, Djimmi soon disappeared with a cloud of smoke, leaving Cuphead, Mugman, and the Baroness.)

CUPHEAD: And to which...another contract bites the dust, and another person I made happy.

(Cuphead turned smiling at the Baroness who smiled back at the cup.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Cuphead...I wasn't kidding, what I said. That was the sweetest thing you've done for him.

MUGMAN: Yeah, buddy! Elder Kettle would be proud of you.

CUPHEAD: Well...I guess I needed an understanding on what to do. Like I said, I never knew their current situation...which makes me sad that I didn't get to know about Goope, the Root Pack, and the others at Inkwell Glade.

MUGMAN: Don't worry, Cuphead. I'm sure they'll appreciate what you're doing. Hilda does, doesn't she?

CUPHEAD: I guess you're right. Let's get back to her, Mugs.

MUGMAN: Right!

(And with that, their work is done here in Inkwell Dessert as Cuphead, and Mugman fly off into the dessert sunset back to Inkwell Park, as the curtain closes. Everyone applause once more.)


(After the applause, the curtain rises up again as Cuphead (holding Bon-Bon's head,) and Mugman went through Inkwell Park in search for Hilda Berg...to their confusion...she's nowhere to be found.)

CUPHEAD: Where is she?

MUGMAN: Strange, she should've been by the food stand like before, but she's not there...strange...

BARONESS VON BON-BON (Sigh) I assume she might've went home. It's...unfortunate. I guess she was too surprised by my uh...current...ehhh...state. Nonetheless, I think I can help you boys learn more about the debtors.

MUGMAN: Oh, right, uhh...who's next, Cuphead?

(Cuphead soon takes out the Devil's scroll, and turns the page to the Inkwell Park debtors, checking out the ones he's already done.)

CUPHEAD: Let's see...we've gotten your contract, Baroness, and we've gotten Djimmi's contract. According to the scroll, the next on the list is...Beppi the Clown.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Sighs in annoyance) Oh boy...Beppi. He's an odd one, that one. To be frank...I don't quite know his reason behind selling his soul to the Devil. I think his story could involve...being funny?

MUGMAN: He's a clown, so I assume.

CUPHEAD: Where should we start looking, for him?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Beppi should be the head entertainer at the Funfair Grounds. I've heard there's a performance in about 10 minutes, so it should give us good timing to find him.

MUGMAN: RIGHT-O! Let's get to it!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Just remember that all clowns come with insanity...ESPECIALLY Beppi. However, Beppi is clever as he is insane, wallk carefully or else he'll know we're on to him.

CUPHEAD: Walking carefully, right.


(Soon, the scene changes to Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness walking to the entrance to the Funfair Grounds. They've also come to notice many of the Inkwell Park ensemble are laughing and having a blast at the Funfair...but where's the main event? Cuphead, Mugman, and the Baroness soon noticed everyone coming to a stage just at the center of the Fairgrounds. Unbeknownst to the three, a figure watches them intently from behind the stage.)

?: They even handled a genie at ease...heheh...well they should have no problems with a clown huh?

ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of ALL ages, take a seat while the show is JUST about to start, and reminder that the snack bar is still open, and will be open ALL DAY LONG!

(As cheers bellowed from the audience set, Cuphead, and Mugman continued walking, but suddenly a magician appears in front of the three, the moment they came to the entrance.)

MAGICIAN: HELOOOOOO, Welcome to the Funfair Grounds, you three! The show of Beppi the Clown will begin soon, but, how would you like to see a magic trick while you wait? It will only take but a minute of your time.

CUPHEAD: While I appreciate some good ol' magic, I'm afraid we'll have to pass, agreed?

MAGICIAN: Ohhhh nononono, I insist.

ANNOUNCER: And now ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have been waiting for, PLEASE give it up for the funniest toon in all of Inkwell Park, accompanied by his mechanical entourage of toys just for your entertainment only: BEPPI THE CLOWN!

(Arising from the stage, and cheers begin erupting, a miniature clown car drives and drives throughout the stage. It abruptly stops, and soon, coming out of the car is a smiling red and white face painted clown, dawning red and blue wear. Accompanying him, are toy clowns, toy acrobats, and toy monkies by his side.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Cuphead, it's him! We've gotta get to him, now!

CUPHEAD: On i-listen sir, can you PLEASE move aside? We don't have time for any magic tricks! We've gotta see Beppi now!

MAGICIAN: Oh, and what's the hurry, Cuphead? The fun about the show is ALWAYS the magic, MWAHAHA!

(Soon, sparks began flying and magic projectiles came by Cuphead and Mugman, making the duck.)

MUGMAN: I wanna see a performance, but this is crazy! You could've killed us!

MAGICIAN: That's the plan, ain't it?

CUPHEAD: (Sigh) We don't have time dealing with killing magicians, unfortunately. Let's leave him and get going, quick!

(Meanwhile as the group of 3 ran through an Acrobat's tent, Beppi the Clown bowed as everyone watching his performance cheered for him.)

Funfair Fever
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Thank you, THANK you, everybody! I hope ya'll are ready, because Beppi and the Toys has a TOONERIFIC show to put on for you, this fine day!

(Soon music begins to play, and Beppi and his Entourage begins to sing.)

Beppi the Clown

And dancin' and prancin' through the fields
Lots o' fun awaitin' here for you!

(Meanwhile as Cuphead, Mugman, and the Baroness were racing and bouncing throughout the Circus tent, balloons have been flying, and attacking. Quite convenient, huh? Cannons were also blasting throughout the tent.)

Beppi the Clown
There's lot's to do, and lot's to see, you're in the Funfair, you're here with me,
I am the Clown King, Master of Glee, you'll be smilin' with King Beppi

We'll be sure to laugh and guffaw, show you tricks that'll leave you in awe

Toy Chorus
He's the Clown King, nothing more, we assure there's lots in stored

We're a wholesome Family of Fun...

Beppi the Clown
YEAH! WE'LL HAVE SOME FUN!

Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus
Things up and down, all around

Topsy turvey, upsy daisy fun!

Beppi the Clown

Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus
Awesome rides and awesome games

Beppi the Clown

Fruity, nutty, dotty, buddy, buggy, toony, oh so looney, funs and funs, games and games, SO COME ON OUT, THIS WAY!

Female Toy Chorus
Step right up, Boys and Girls

Clowns and toys, dancin' round

Beppi the Clown

Toy Chorus
Everything's in glee, such hilarity

Beppi the Clown
Let's give ya the ride of rides! As you laugh all side by side!
The Carnival never ends, it's a shuffle so bring your friends

Have fun on our funfair, a kerfuffle of fun of fairs
We ain't one to scare, SO COME ON DOWN! To the fairs

(Soon, Beppi sees Cuphead, Mugman, and the Baroness coming this way. He motioned the toys to get to the big finish, as the clown smirks.)

Toy Chorus
Step right up, don't be shy
The party's just startin' no need to cry
The Inkwell Funfair has much in stored for you, oh so true

Ridin' through the ferris wheels
And dancin' and prancin' through the fields
You'll have a blast no need to fear...

Beppi the Clown
Now watch this folks as I disappear...

Toy Chorus & Beppi the Clown
LOTS O' FUN AWATIN' HERE FOR YOU!

Beppi the Clown
TOODALOO!

(Throwing down a smoke bomb, everyone cheered as the Beppi and the toys disappeared at the cloud of smoke. Soon, Cuphead, Mugman, and the Baroness looked in dismay as they JUST made it to the stage...and Beppi was gone.)

CUPHEAD: Drat, we missed him!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Beppi's a pretty slick one.

CUPHEAD: Somehow I'm thinking this is all a setup...either way, we lost our next contract...

MUGMAN: What do we do now?

CUPHEAD: Hmmm...

(Soon a lightbulb flickered atop Baroness's head. It's clear she has an idea.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Y'know...when I'm always stuck...I usually turn to...Quadractus.

MUGMAN: Quadractus?

CUPHEAD: I keep hearing about him, all around Inkwell Glade. They say the dude's known as...the 'All Seeing Pond Spirit' a bunch of hooey, to me.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: In Inkwell Isle, Cuphead...anything hooey...is to be the truth. C'mon, he should be somewhere around the Fairgrounds.

CUPHEAD: Hmm...alright, Baroness. We can find him, and get him to help us find Beppi...I still think this is all just one big scam to get kids interested.

(Soon, Cuphead, Mugman, and the bodiless Baroness soon ran off the stage as the spotlights closed cuing the next scene transaction as everyone gave their applause.)


(The lights flickered back on in the direction of a pond just on the stage. The pond seems to have Stonehenge around it. On cue, Cuphead, and Mugman soon approached the pond. The Baroness looks pleased.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: That's him, Cuphead. Satisfied?

(Cuphead only looks in confusion. He only sees a pond just in front of him.)

CUPHEAD: I don't see anything.

MUGMAN: Golly, could he be sleeping?

(Cuphead only looks at the Baroness with a frown who only rolled her eyes at the Cup.)

CUPHEAD: OOOOOOOOOOOOR...Muggy, that stupid Quadractus thing...he ain't real.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Cuphead...you need to come closer. Quadractus will only appear once you're at a close enough range for him to see you. Trust me on this, I lived in Inkwell Park for quite a long time. (Winks)

CUPHEAD: (Bored reaction) Oh brother...alright.

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman approached the pond even further. To his prediction, nothing popped up.)

CUPHEAD: See? Nothing's here, now we're wasting t-

?: Oh...? Time...time, time, time. Time...is quite an precious thing...in this world of unlimited time...

CUPHEAD: Well, buddy, unlimited time is something we DON'T h-h-huuuuuuuuh?!

(In realization, Cuphead and Mugman looked around the fairground. No one's around. Until...)

?: Down here...my boys...

(With the Baroness smirking, Cuphead and Mugman soon looked back at the pond. A figure's face appeared in its reflection, a figure...of a wise old man's face, smiling at the boys.)

QUADRACTUS: Cuphead, Mugman, we meet at last.

MUGMAN: T-The pond is talkin' to us...Cup...

CUPHEAD: Yep...

BARONESS VON BON-BON: You boys believe me now?

CUPHEAD: Yep...

QUADRACTUS: Welcome, Cuphead and Mugman, it is a pleasure to see you boys...eye to eye. I am...Quadractus...the Fount of All-Knowing in Inkwell Isle. My knowledge to all...is infallible.

MUGMAN: Sooo...if you're never wrong Mr. Quadractus...

CUPHEAD: ...Then you know why we're here...right?

QUADRACTUS: Indeed. Cuphead...you gambled with the Devil...and for losing the gambit, yours and Mugman's soul now hangs in the balance...along with the many souls of the Debtors you have vanquished thus far.

(Cuphead lowers his head as his guilt catches up with him again., but even so the fountain spirit smiles warmly at Cuphead.)

QUADRACTUS: But I at least know one thing, Cuphead...though The Devil's blinds me thus far, I can predict this...all the souls will go free...one way...or another. It is you, Cuphead, Mugman who shall prevail against the Devil, and the cries of the souls...they shall sing in your behalf.

CUPHEAD: ...D-Do you know...HOW I can free them?

QUADRACTUS: (Frowns in sadness) There are many things...that the Devil has blinded even me from. How you shall secure the freedom of the souls...it is unknown to me, I'm afraid.

CUPHEAD: (Sighs) At least...I know I can free them...

QUADRACTUS: Yes...and you are doing well, thus far.

(Cuphead only looks in confusion.)

QUADRACTUS: What...you think I do not know? So far in Inkwell Park, you are mending...the broken, helping the souls that have been lost, shattered, by the Devil's hellish grasp.

MUGMAN: Golly, he's right, Cuphead! So far in Inkwell Park, you freed Djimmi, and help quench the Baroness' anger for King Dice. They're both...happier now, don't ya think?

CUPHEAD: (Smiles warmly as he looks at the Bodiless Baroness) Yeah, I guess you're right.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Smiling warmly) He IS right, Cuphead.

QUADRACTUS: Yes, the Baroness, and Djimmi's souls are now...quenched of vengeance, and hatred towards you...now, then...I hope you are ready to mend the soul of another, yes?

CUPHEAD: Another?

QUADRACTUS: Yes. The very person you seek...he has been wronged by many...he blinds his hatred towards the world...with his insanity.

CUPHEAD: B-You mean...Beppi?

QUADRACTUS: Many debtors had many wishes, The Baroness: to enter the Cookie Carnival...Djimmi's: freedom of his lamp. Beppi the Clown however, his only wish...is admiration. In such a place like Inkwell Isle, Beppi has tried and tried to become something of worth: a star. The clown has talents that many performers would pale in comparison to...and yet...no one. No one in the world...would admire him. No one would even look upon him, as many in Inkwell Isle gather around for performers and clowns...far better and funnier than him.

CUPHEAD: Wow... so Beppi's story is that he's a outcast...

MUGMAN: Golly, I feel really bad for him, now...these debtors...you guys must've had a hard life, didn't ya?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: I can't say I know much about everyone's personal life...but we have one thing in common: we don't wanna relive the past. Kinda why everyone is and will be territorial about their contract.

QUADRACTUS: Yes, Beppi's contract. The Devil himself came to him, after seeing poor Beppi the Clown down on his luck. I think...you are at an understanding as to what happens next.

MUGMAN: Beppi sold his soul to the Devil so everyone can notice him. I guess that explained those toys, right?

QUADRACTUS: Yes. The Devil created for him his own entourage of toys to perform with the clown. Soon, Beppi and his new crew, with his newfound powers became the finest entertainment of all Inkwell Park, and thus...Beppi the Clown King was formed.

CUPHEAD: Beppi the Clown King...what an ego.

MUGMAN: So, Mr. Quadractus? Thank you...for the information about Beppi and all...but we're here because-

QUADRACTUS: You come to me because you wish to know where to find him...yes? All knowing, my friend.

CUPHEAD: So do you know where to find him, or not?

QUADRACTUS: Well...I feel that in order to find Beppi...you must find the source of his toys. I hear...the Funhouse is quite the place to look...agreed?

MUGMAN: The Funhouse?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: OHHHH RIGHT! (The two cups looked at the candied head.) The Fool's Frivolous Funhouse! Toys come in and out, no doubt.

QUADRACTUS: The Fool's Frivolous Funhouse, indeed. If Beppi is hiding somewhere within the Funfair, the you must find him in the Funhouse...but beware, the Funhouse...it is as if it's its own world of its own.

CUPHEAD: What does he mean by that?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Insane, ludicrous, all funhouses are like that. They fit Beppi quite well, now let's chase after him before he has time to escape!

MUGMAN: RIGHT-O!

CUPHEAD: Thanks Quadractus, and uh...sorry for not believe you were real, heh.

QUADRACTUS: It was a pleasure, once again, meeting you Cuphead...Mugman, may you boys walk on the right path.

(Soon, Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness take their leave off the stage as the lights flashed down for the next scene transaction...but not before Quadractus...leaves with one last bit of wisdom.)

QUADRACTUS: Elder Kettle...it is clear that you have chosen to guide two lovely boys. Now...the question remains...King Dice has made his move to this game and collected the contracts of Inkwell Glade...I must wonder...even I can't predict your move in this game...Devil...so...just what ARE you going to do with the Soul Contracts?


(Soon after the applause, the spotlight shines back on as Cuphead, Mugman, and Baroness Von Bon-Bon are now entering...the whimsical interior that is...the Fool's Frivolous Funhouse. The spotlight soon shines down on a certain figure as well...Beppi was in front of the group.)

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Cuphead, Mugman, and Baroness Von Bon-Bon. WELCOME to the FOOL'S FRIVOLOUS FUNHOUSE! HAHAHAHAHA! Oh, and by the way, I do hope you enjoyed our little performance, today.

MUGMAN: Actually, we missed it. Your little mechanical buddies were blasting out on us.

BEPPI THE CLOWN: (Pretend shock) LE GASP! You didn't see the performance?! Oh goodness me! (Soon looking in boredom) Eh, oh well. I digress. Since ya'll are here, how about we put on a show JUST for you, right now? This time...we won't disappoint.

CUPHEAD: Beppi...this doesn't have to be this way. Just give us your soul contract...I'm sure we can get you other ways to be notice...buddy. We don't have to f-

BEPPI THE CLOWN: (Covering his ears.) LALALALALALAL I CAN'T HEAR YOU! LALALALALALLALALA! I can't hear him. The sound of the one who sold his soul to the Devil and is now trying to hunt me down is too unbearable to listen to.

CUPHEAD: Beppi, PLEASE! I know I messed up, but give me a chance, dude!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: He's right, Beppi! We don't have to figh-

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Madame Bon-Bon...did our meeting in the introduction not mean anything? We ALL had plans to (Beppi did a cutting motion with his finger to his neck) THE CUP!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: That was before we had a chance to realize...that Cuphead...would actually help us...

BEPPI THE CLOWN: (Blowing a raspberry) PFFFFFFFFFFT! WELL WHO NEEDS THE HELP OF THAT SCHNOOK! NOT ME, NOT THE DEBTORS OF INKWELL CITY, PFFFFF-PFFF-PFFFFFFFFFFT! I'm not taking any chances anymore. You and Djimmi may of bended like my balloon dogs, but not me. It's gonna take more than an empty promise, and lamp freedom to make this bark bite. SOOOOOOOOOO

Funhouse Frazzle
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus

BEPPIT THE CLOWN: BA-DA BA-DA BA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA!

(On cue a piano played a few notes as Beppi the Clown made those notes on cue. Suddenly Beppi started running.)

BEPPI THE CLOWN: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, SUCKERS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

(It's clear that at this time, we can't reason with the Clown. Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness started running as the Toys around them began to sing...for it's a journey throughout the Fool's Frivolous Funhouse. Throughout the first section of the hallways, toy cars and toy ducks come this way, in upside-down and...well all directions.)

Beppi the Clown & (Toy Chorus)
Now it's time, we put on a show, just a show for you to me (You and Beppi)
Step right up, for an endless opportunities of...(Absurdity, and impossibilities)

C'mon Cuphead deeper in the maze, for an endless turns of events (Turn of events that are)
Upsy daisy, topsy turvey, utter insanity! (Insanity!)

Watch your step, they'll never know what hit em, comes a kerfuffle loads of toys
Jack-O-Lanterns, walls o'wonder, silly, maniacal, BUNDLES OF JOY!

It's a shuffle, FUNHOUSE kerfuffle, my house of absurdity (A house of wonders so)

Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus
Upsy daisy, topsy turvey, kookey crazy, insanity!

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman faced off with a wall completely blocking their way. The wall attacks, the same as Cuphead and Mugman did. Quickly they defeated the wall and made their way to the next room, consisting of endless doorways, and star cannons all around. Quickly Cuphead and Mugman raced throughout each door in search for the one Beppi could be hiding, whilst dodging cannonballs.)

Female Toy Chorus
In the funhouse, surprises await
An endless maze, cars insane, such a daze

Frazzle of fun, and more to come
You'll be amazed by the endless dizzy daze

In the funhouse, a place for fools
Sky rocketing tools, jelly pools, oh so cool
Miniscule, ridicule, all so TOPSY TURVEY, UPSY DAISY!

Male Toy Chorus
In the funhouse there's lots in stored
It's nigh a bore, not a chore, crazy floors

Frazzle of fun, and more to come
Throughout the upside down doors, and talking floors

In the funhouse, a place for jests
A frazzle fest, messy mess, you can't guess,
South to west, give some zest, in the house of frazzling fun!

In the funhouse, surprises await
An endless maze, cars insane, such a daze

Frazzle of fun, and more to come
You'll be amazed by the endless dizzy daze

In the funhouse, a place for fools
Sky rocketing tools, jelly pools, oh so cool
Miniscule, ridicule, all so TOPSY TURVEY, UPSY DAISY!

Female Toy Chorus
In the funhouse there's lots in stored
It's nigh a bore, not a chore, crazy floors

Frazzle of fun, and more to come
Throughout the upside down doors, and talking floors

In the funhouse, a place for jests
A frazzle fest, messy mess, you can't guess,
South to west, give some zest,

Toy Chorus
In the house of frazzling fun!

Beppi the Clown & (Toy Chorus)
So step right up, just in time for the show , a show for you to me (You and Beppi)
Step right up, for an endless opportunities of...(Absurdity, and impossibilities)

C'mon Cuphead deeper in the maze, for an endless turns of events (Turn of events that are)
Upsy daisy, topsy turvey,

Toy Chorus
Utter insanity!

(Finally, Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness found the door. They opened one and saw Beppi the Clown still running, quickly they went and chased after him in the next room consisting of upside own and rightside up obstacles filled with tubas all around.)

Beppi the Clown
Ohhhh, such music is to my ears, you can hear the tubas play
Such finest work, when they go berserk, their music is heaven all day

You can never ever find such a frivolous place, a place for the greatest fools
We're utterly zany, utterly silly, UTTER INSANITY!

Toy Chorus
There's such wonders as the clockworks bounce, us toys are bouncin' with joy
Cars a flyin' and walls a cryin' it's an endless abundance of joy

You can never ever find such a frivolous place, a place for the greatest toys
Toys so utterly zany, utterly silly, UTTER INSANITY!

(Cuphead, and Mugman appear to be close to the exit of the funhouse. There seems to be another wall standing in their way however...this one...it looks tougher and sturdier. They fired rapidly as the wall itself attacked, once again.)

Beppi the Clown & (Toy Chorus)
OH such fun(such joy) it's a fest for fools(all for fools)
You Cupheads are the greatest tools(such tools)
You come to our paradise(you fools) just party poopers playin' the rules

I'll tell ya the fun won't stop(won't stop) until ya Cuphead drop of
(Topsy tazy, upsy curvey, insanely utterly!) INSANE!

It's a kerfuffle that never flops(HEY!)
It's a silly shuffle that never drops(HEY!)
It's a carnival shuffle kerfuffle that'll NEVER, EVER, EVER STOP!(Never ever stop!)

The fun here, it'll never end, but that's a different story for you friends...

Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus
You can see, there is no peek, of this never end absurdity!

(THEY DEFEATED THE WALL! Behind it they see Beppi waiting for them...right before her started running, once again. Whilst holding the Baroness in his hands, Cuphead, and Mugman chased after Beppi straight to the end of the funhouse.)

Beppi the Clown, Female Toy Chorus & (Male Toy Chorus)
So, now it's time, we put on a show, just a show for you to me (You and Beppi)

Step right up, for an endless opportunities of...(Absurdity, and impossibilities)

C'mon Cuphead deeper in the maze, for an endless turns of events (Turn of events that are)
Upsy daisy, topsy turvey, utter insanity! (Insanity!)

Beppi the Clown, Male Toy Chorus, & (Female Toy Chorus)
Watch your step, they'll never know what hit em, comes a kerfuffle loads of toys(Loads of to-oys)
Jack-O-Lanters, walls o'wonder, silly, maniacal, (BUNDLES OF JOY!)
It's a shuffle, a FUNHOUSE kerfuffle, our house of absurdity (A house of wonders so)

Toy Chorus
Upsy daisy, topsy turvey,

Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus
Kookey crazy, insanity...of absurdities

(Drum roll)

(And thus...Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness chased Beppi as they exited the Fool's Frivolous Funhouse...for...)

CAUSE IT'S A FUNHOUSE FRAZZLE!


(The scene transition hits once again as Cuphead, and Mugman were out of the funhouse and back to the Fairgrounds in search for Beppi. Between the many people throughout the Funfair, there's just no sign of him.)

CUPHEAD: (Heavily sighs) Don't tell me we lost him again...

(Baroness soon looked up high seeing Beppi riding up the rollercoaster.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: It's not over yet, boys! TO THE ROLLERCOASTER, NOW!

(The Baroness motioned her head to the rollercoaster nearby. Cuphead, and Mugman quickly road the next cart, knowing that time is at the essence...suddenly...the coaster stopped.)

MUGMAN: Huh? The rollercoaster stopped?

(Cuphead looked down to see the stop signs all over the rollercoaster were blinking red.)

CUPHEAD: Beppi must've stopped the tracks.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: We're so close, Cuphead! We can't let THAT stop us, not while Beppi's up there! We gotta climb, before he makes his escape, again!

(The Baroness was right. It was clear that it was Beppi's attempt to stop them dead on their tracks, but even so...it won't stop them this time. Cuphead and Mugman started climbing until they reached the very top of the rollercoaster track...awaiting them...was him. Beppi.)

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Well...it took ya long enough, huh?

(It's clear that Cuphead and Mugman were out of breath.)

MUGMAN: Mr. Beppi...(*pant* *pant*) this...HAS to stop! PLEASE, I know you don't wanna go back to being a nobody...but...PLEASE, let us help you! We won't let the Devil get his way...we'll fight him for you, and together we can help you become someone greater!

(Beppi only frowned at the Mug.)

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Mugman...I like ya, kid. More than I could ever like your brother, but...let's be real here: you can't help me. K? No one can or WILL help someone like me. As long as I still have THIS, I'm in the clear!

(Beppi says as he took out his soul contract.)

BEPPI THE CLOWN: It's adorable that you kiddos are trying to help, but I'm a lost cause at this point, HA! Sooooo...where's the fun in playing a little game for the Devil?

CUPHEAD: Beppi...the game escalated too fa-

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Y'know, the game wouldn't escalate if it wasn't for you, Cuphead, but hey, that's life, HAHAHAHAA!

CUPHEAD: Beppi...we'll do ANYTHING to help you out...we're trying to do the right thing for all the debtors...and we want to do the same thing for you.

BEPPI THE CLOWN: A bit too late to grow a conscious isn't it, Cuphead? So, you fought the Debtors off in Inkwell Glade, just how many of them did YOU actually help?

(Cuphead remained silent.)

BEPPI THE CLOWN: PFFFFFF! I'm the Clown King...and even YOU are the biggest jests in all of Inkwell Isle! But, the truth of it is this: you've showed your showmanship for TOO long, Cuppy! It's time the TRUE Clown King takes stage, and entertains like he always does.

CUPHEAD: Beppi...I don't want to fight you...heck I didn't want to fight any of the debtors...but if that's what you want...then so be it.

BEPPI THE CLOWN: OOOOOOOH! You're gonna put up a fight? More entertainment for everyone! I think it's clear just what we're dealing with, RIGHT TOYS?!

Carnival Kerfuffle
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus

(Though the toys weren't seen, it's clear Beppi and his entourage has one more song to sing for us...as the clouds of Inkwell Park begin to form into an ominous grey, covering the son, a bumper car slid by the track behind Beppi, as the clown jumped on the bumper car.)

BEPPI THE CLOWN: We have one more performance for you, Cuphead, Mugman and I hope you boys enjoy it...heheh...because it'll be the LAST performance you'll ever see! TAKE IT AWAY!

(The toys begin to sing)

Toy Chorus
It's a kerfuffle, a carnival shuffle
And Beppi the King Clown, will put you cups down!

Beppi the Clown
Hope you had some wholesome fun, cause the fun has JUST begun!
A show for all you girls and boys, And with the help of my great t
oys!

It's the show, OUR GREATEST CLASH! it's the time the cup gets mashed
It's the time the cup gets bashed
It's the time the cup gets smashed
It's the time the cup gets crashed
It's the time the cup get-

Cuphead, Mugman, & Baroness Von Bon-Bon
WE GET IT ALREADY!

Beppi the Clown
...Critics. The lot of you.

BUT ANYWAY!

Come on now, Cuphead it's time for the show!
We're gonna have a blast, from high to low!
It's so exciting, and truly gratifying, the fun will never end, boys!

Male Toy Chorus
It never ends boy!

Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus
Come on now, Cuphead it's time for the act!
C'mon and blast me with your great attack
!
There's no denying, a battle satisfying, the fun will never end, boys!

IT NEVER ENDS BOYS!

(Soon, Beppi the Clown was riding his bumper cart so much, to the point that he literally fell off the track.)

Cause it's a kerfuffle, a carnival shuffle
And, Beppi the King Clown, will make you cups frown!

It's a kerfuffle, a carnival shuffle
And, Beppi the King Clown, will put you cups down!

(Beppi soon arrives back up as Cuphead and Mugman notices him on some sort of...pumping device.)

Beppi the Clown
Ya boys are really full of jokes, but tonight you're gonna croak
You'll die slow, or you'll die fast, EITHER WAY WE'LL HAVE A BLAST!

(Soon, the inflated Beppi the Clown, now almost as if he was a balloon, summoned an army of balloon shaped dogs. On top of that, the tracks were now blinking green, as an indication that the roller coasters can now come through...the chaos is beginning.)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! I admit you're laughs in a pair
Thinking you can stop me just SAYS YOU'RE FULL OF HOT AIR!

I have my contract here, right here beside my balloony rear!
So C'mon! C'mon! C'MON, CUPHEADS come and get it CUPS, if you oh so dare!

You may have bested all those mighty fiends, back at Inkwell Glade,
But THIS is where I go on field, and like my balloons you'll soar and fade!

You will NEVER win! against the trickiest, trickster's tricky tricks!
I mean literally, you're just as laughable as a bundle of broken sticks

PLUS!

Toy Chorus & (Beppi the Clown)
It's a kerfuffle(FUFFLE!), a carnival shuffle(SHUFFLE!)
And Beppi the King Clown(KING CLOWN!), Is gonna make you frown! (YOU FROWN!)

Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus
It's a kerfuffle, a carnival shuffle
And Beppi the King Clown, will put you cups down!

Beppi the Clown
So why'd the clown drive over the Cup? Cause he wanted to crack him up!
And why do you think the doggies frowned? Why it's simple my friends, it was a gob-a-let down

Also what else do you call a Cuphead? Who fell off the swing? A TUMBLER!
Look at ALL OF THEM JOKES, Look at ol' Beppi the Clown bringing on the thunder!

I think it's plain to see, that both you cup and mug can't ever beat me
I'm Beppi the Clown, the life of the town! I'll ALWAYS give Inkwell some GLEE-HEEEEE

Givin' Inkwell Isle Glee
GLEEE-HEEEEE However, I assure this battle won't certainly be

CAUSE!

Toy Chorus
It's a kerfuffle, a carnival shuffle
And Beppi the King Clown, is gonna make you frown!

Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus
It's a kerfuffle, a carnival shuffle
And Beppi the King Clown, will put you cups down!

(Immediately, Cuphead and Mugman defeated Beppi the Clown's ballon form, as the machine tumbled down and his balloon head floated up high in the sky. Soon Beppi came back up, on a green pony ride shooting out horshoes whilest the roller coasters continue to ride on. Meanwhile Beppi was bouncing up and down the pony ride as if he was having a blast on it.)

Beppi the Clown
WHOO-WHOO-WHOO-WHOO-WHOO-WHOO-WHOO-AYYY!

Knock, knock, who's there? Charlie, Charlie who?
A Charlie horse is comin' and it's comin' for you!

Rockin' on a horsie, and ashes to ashes,
You'll both fall down, with bruses and rashes!

I'm the Clown King, you can hear them sing,
Such praises, graces, 'ALL HAIL THE CLOWN KING!'

I'll be free from the Devil's clutch,
After I get rid of you, I can be so much!

A pity my friends, things had to be rough.
But, you've dealt with the Devil, things'll get tough!

After I'm finally free, I can go for some lunch
I'm thinkin' a burger, OR MAYBE EVEN SOME BR-ACK!

(Immediately Beppi was defeated on his horsie, by Cuphead and Mugman as the pony ride was groggily rising back up, and the Toy Chorus sung, once more.)

Male Toy Chorus
Bravo Cuphead, oh what a performance
Bravo Cuphead, what a hell of a show
So entertaining, fun still sustaining, is it the end...?

Beppi the Clown
NOOOOOOOO!

Toy Chorus
Bravo Cuphead, oh what a performance
Bravo Cuphead, what a hell of a show

Beppi the Clown & (Toy Chorus)
YOU REALLY THINK THAT THIS'LL EVER END, LITTLE FOOLS HAAAAA! (We don't think so!)

(It's clear as a cackling was echoing the carnival...Beppi wasn't done, yet. Not at all. Soon Beppi rose up as some sort of large towering umbrella pole, as he cackled maniacally, towering the two cups and the head of the Baroness. Cuphead, and Mugman got to firing.)

Beppi the Clown
SO, come on now, Cuphead it's the end of the show!
I'm
gonna have a blast, from high to low!
It's so exciting, and truly gratifying, the fun will never end, boys!

Male Toy Chorus & (Female Toy Chorus)
IT NEVER ENDS BOYS!(BOYS!)

Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus
Come on now, Cuphead it's YOUR final act!
I'm(he's) gonna blast ya with my(his) great attack
!
There's no denying, a battle satisfying, the fun will never end, boys!

IT NEVER ENDS, BOYS!

Toy Chorus
There's no denying, a battle satisfying, the fun will never end, boys!

Beppi the Clown
IT NEVER ENDS, BOYS, C'MON!

Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus
THERE'S NO DENYING, A BATTLE SATISFYING, THE FUN WILL NEVER END BOYS!

Beppi the Clown
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

(Beppi the Clown) & Toy Chorus
It's a kerfuffle, a carnival shuffle(Beppi the Clown KIIIIIING!)
And Beppi the King Clown, is gonna make you frown!(You can hear them sing, THEY'RE SINGIN'!)

Beppi the Clown & Toy Chorus
IT'S A KERFUFFLE, A CARNIVAL SHUFFLE
AND BEPPI THE KING CLOWN, WILL PUT YOU CUPS DOWN!

Beppi the Clown
Upsy daisy...topsy turvey...

(Cuphead, and Mugman rapidly fired desperately towards the clown until...)

Announcer
KNOCKOUT!

(The battle has been decided...Beppi seemed quite vulnerable for a spread-shot battle. Soon, enough, Beppi the Clown pole has been defeated as his soul contract fell from one of the stands on the umbrella. Cuphead, quickly catches it.)

CUPHEAD: Got it...

(Cuphead soon turns to Beppi who immediately transformed back into a human...well almost human, as he was deflating and flying throughout the ramp. Beppi's face was at a mix of now anger and fear as he was floating blissfully in the sky, back down to the lamp...defeated.)

MUGMAN: (Looking in concern.) Beppi...?

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Give...back...my contract...you porcelain punks, and LET ME KILL YOU OFF, MYSELF!

(Cuphead had an idea...but that didn't up his mood.)

CUPHEAD: Beppi...I'll give you back your contract soon, but only if you let us help you.

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Oh so you cons are trying to make a deal with me? HELOOOOOOOOO, Do I look like the Devil?

MUGMAN: N-No! We're not trying to make a deal with you, we're just trying to help y-

BEPPI THE CLOWN: (Interrupting in a lowered, defeated voice.) You've helped enough, Cups. Now that my contract is in your hand, you may as well look at what's become of my toys.

(Cuphead and Mugman soon noticed something...silence. The Baroness looked in surprise seeing all of Beppi's toys are now...shut down, lifeless.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: We shut them off?

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Now that you cups have my contract, my toys and my...career of being an entertainer...dies down with it. The Devil's favorite pastime is ruining everyone's lives...well, mine's pretty much ruined. So what's the point of helping me?

CUPHEAD: (in tears) BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT YOU, BEPPI!

(Silence once again emanated the room as everyone's attention turned to the teary-eyed Cuphead...who really was on the verge of crying, this time.)

CUPHEAD: This may come to a surprise to you, Beppi...but we CARE about you. It might not look like it...BUT WE DO! I...have made...SOOOOOOO many mistakes...and I've been trying to right the wrongs. I'm not even confident anymore...that I'll right ANY wrong...

BEPPI THE CLOWN: ...S-So...you finally give up...just like that?

CUPHEAD: Knowing how much I've basically ruined everyone's life...and I didn't even TRY to help ANYONE in Inkwell Glade, because I had no idea how much everyone was hurting from their past life...before they dealt with the Devil...b-but then I've taken the time to at least...listen to Hilda and Bon-Bon...all of you hate me...I'm sure of it, now...but...now that I know why you all hate me...I've been trying to start off on probing how to help...

BEPPI THE CLOWN: ...Wait...you've been doing all that?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: That's what we've been trying to tell you, Beppi. Cuphead isn't the bad guy that we once believed...or...at least I don't think so, and I'm sure Djimmi doesn't either. I want to convince everyone that...Cuphead...he might make a greater difference then we thought.

(Beppi was in awe)

BEPPI THE CLOWN: You've been really putting your hope on the kid...haven't you, Bonny?

(Bon-Bon smirked the moment the clown said the name.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: It's been so long since I've been called that, heh...but yes. I...I think he maybe the one who can fight King Dice...and beat the Devil...we...just need to put a little faith in him, is all...

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Faith...(a low chuckle was heard.) I'm...not ready to cut the cup some slack...at least...not yet. If you really have that much faith in him, Baroness...then I wanna see it in action...ya hear that, Cuphead?

(Beppi's attention was now on Cuphead.)

BEPPI THE CLOWN: You're the star of the show now, kid...you're not gonna disappoint us...are you?

CUPHEAD: I'll do what I can...to save you all, Beppi. When we fight off the Devil, then...I'm sure we'll find a way to help you. A clown needs the admiration, doesn't it?

(As Cuphead smirks, Beppi gave out another smirk, as his deflated head meets the floor of the ramp.)

BEPPI THE CLOWN: ...Then...give us a good show, Cuphead.

MUGMAN: We'll you be alright?

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Yeah...I just need a rest...so...you got my contract, Cup...where do you think you're going from there?

(Cuphead once again takes out the Devil's scroll of debtors. He checked out Beppi...now his next contract is...)

CUPHEAD: Grim Matchstick.

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Grim...heh. I like the guy, he's a real sweet, that's for sure. Hope you boys are made out of fire-proof glass.

(Cuphead and Mugman looked in confusion.)

MUGMAN: Fire-proof glass?

BEPPI THE CLOWN: You'll see, soon enough...j-just don't hurt him...alright? Out of all the debtors here...Grim...Grim is extremely fragile than you think...just...don't hurt him. If you do, Cup...you know I ain't gonna forgive you.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: I'll...have to agree on Beppi. Please Cup, don't hurt him too much.

(Cuphead smirks warmly.)

CUPHEAD: Don't worry, I won't. For you guys, I'll go easy on him.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Good, boy. I know the way, boys, just follow me down the ramp, and I'll direct you to Grim's tower.

MUGMAN: Right-o, Baroness!

(Soon, Cuphead, and Mugman were now directed by the Baroness off the stage, leaving Beppi who only smiled warmly as the scene transition takes place, and the lights flashed down and the curtain closed. Applause were heard.)


(Soon the curtains rose up and the spotlights flashed back on Cuphead and Mugman, as the scene transitioned to Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness as they were high up in the skies, riding on clouds. They three soon noticed a pristine white tower just at the distance.)

CUPHEAD: So...the debtor's up here?

(Mugman looks at the list. Their job at Inkwell Park isn't finished yet, only two debtors on the list.)

MUGMAN: Golly, Baroness, are you sure this is the right place?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Indeed, Grim definitely lives up here.

CUPHEAD: So...where is he?

(As they were asking questions, a shadow began to hover over the three, towering them, blowing hot air...VERY hot air.)

MUGMAN: Maybe we should check the tower, over there?

CUPHEAD: And how do you think we can even get in there? No doors, and that window seems too small for both of us to get in.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: True, and after all Grim's a dragon, sooo...he shouldn't have any room to squeeze in.

CUPHEAD: See? and Grim's a dragon she said, so he should be out in the o-o...oooooo-OOOOOH-OHHHHHHHOHOHOOHOH! DID YOU SAY...A DRAGON?!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Yep.

CUPHEAD: A dragon.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Indeed.

CUPHEAD: Grim Matchstick...is...a dragon.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Indubitably.

MUGMAN: I guess the name fits.

CUPHEAD: WHY ARE YOU GUYS BEING SO NONCHALANT ABOUT THIS?! HE'S A DRAGON!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Dragon or not, you'd be surprise to know how sweet, poor Grim is. To which I'd advise you NOT to hit as hard, Cuphead, understand? He's a precious dragon.

CUPHEAD: Yeahhhh...I try...ASSUMING THE DUDE WON'T INCINERATE ME FIRST!

(Suddenly a snort was heard behind them, breathing warm air, making the two stop abruptly in worry. A studdering and shaky voice was heard behind them...despite being shaky...he was saying it dangerously.)

?: I...won't b-b-be making any promises, hehe...

CUPHEAD: He's behind us?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: He's behind us.

MUGMAN: HE'S BEHIND US?!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: HE'S BEHIND US!

Fiery Frolic
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Grim Matchstick & Chorus

(Quickly Cuphead and Mugman turned around, and to their surprise a FREAKING DRAGON was behind the two. As the dragon noticed them, he began making spooky motions with his wings. As he was scaring the two, the chorus began to sing.)

Chorus
Time to shine, cause you won't be taking him
Time to fly, cause this battle will be grim!

Grim Matchstick
Now I'm ready for ya, time to face the breath of of Matchstick!
Now I'm steady for ya, it's time to face your death by

Now Cuphead, a-and Mugman, You're in a hot seat
Y-you're fighting Grim Matchstick! Feel the jaws of defeat!

(Grim Matchstick backs down and took his retreat as Cuphead, the Baroness, and Mugman noticed him flying past the tower)

Grim Matchstick
I'll fly away! Revise my play
I'm still not p-playing any games...I'll show you the might of my FLAMES!

BLAHHHH!

(Soon Grim comes back the right of the group, as they hopped away. Grim soon opens his mouth and tongue out as a marching band of flames marched out of his mouth and on his tongue)

Grim Matchstick & (Flame Chorus)
N-now things are getting...(TOASTY!)
C-chance of winning is getting...(GHOSTLY!)
This battle will leave you...(SWELTERED)
You're in grimmer trouble than...(EVER!)

This match will get...(RED HOT!)

Our strength is gapped...(BY ALLOT!)
IT'S A FIERY FROLIC! (ON THE DOT!)

Grim Matchstick
You cups have come today, but this contract you won't take away
If you've seen territorial, then I'll show you territorial!

You cups aren't worth the hassle, your 'Princess' is in ANOTHER castle!
Go away, leave this day, or else you cups will get fillet

I-I'm not afraid of you, I made a deal with the Devil for this
Long ago I was beaten up, picked on, insulted, bullied to the brink

Now I'm the greatest threat
And...I will not EVER be best
You haven't even seen the pinnacle of my power yet!

Flame Chorus & (Grim Matchstick)
And his powers are grim! (YEAH!)
You'll never take it from him! (YEAH!)

Grim is here to stay (A DRAGON!)
And
You'll be scorched this day! (BY ME!)

Grim Matchstick & Flame Chorus
Cause I'm(he's) the Grimmest Matchstick, fear the jaws and the flames!
Don't let my(his) s-shiver deceive ya, I'm(he's) no fun and games!

Chorus
NO FUN AND GAMES!

Grim Matchstick
You Cupheads may have stormed through Inkwell Park
But this is...Where I take the stand, and go out large!

Why can't you Cupheads see, that evidentially
You'll meet the BURN of 101 degrees!

And when I'm done with you, I'll chase the Devil, swift and sure!
Vengeance for the game he's playing that's including all his torture!

I admit, I-I-I'm a little scared, but I know that I will prevail
I'll prove to him I'm not a coward, ONE HE SEES THE CUPHEADS FAIL!

(Chorus) & Grim Matchstick
(1, 2, 3,) to flee we'll hunt till the end of days (The end of days)
(In this game) Deadly game, I'll end it all, HE SOON WILL PAY!

(Do rae me) Me will succeed in bringing both your heads (Your Cupheads)
(In the sky) Sky high, in front of this tower, YOU'LL SOON SEE MY P-OWWW!

(Cuphead and Mugman stopped the flame chorus blasting out of Grim's moth...but soon, something surprising happened. Suddenly as a storm picked up, Grim suddenly rose up, and grew three heads)

(Male Chorus) & Chorus

YOU CUPS WILL DIE AS GOOD ENDURES!

Matchstick Heads & Chorus
TIME YOU FLY CAUSE THIS BATTLE IS GRIM!

Everyone(Except Cuphead, Mugman, & The Baroness)
YOU WON'T ESCAPE THIS FIREY FROLIC!

(As the three heads were shooting out fire like never before, The Baroness is looking in concern, as Cuphead and Mugman wasn't paying attention...rather they're objection is basically trying to survive.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Grim's out of control. Even he wouldn't let loose like that.

CUPHEAD: YOU JUST NOTICED THAT HE'S INSANE?!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: GRIM!

(The middle head of the green hydra looked at the Baroness as the other two began to fire.)

GRIM MATCHSTICK: S-S-STAND ASIDE, BARONESS! I'm not gonna let the Devil get his way!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: For starters: I can't really get in the way...considering I have no arms...or legs...OR A BODY. Aside the point, you have to step down, Grim, they're not the Devil! Just give them your soul contract! There doesn't have to be a frolic!

(Already Grim was a little hesitant to obey the Baroness.)

GRIM MATCHSTICK: N-NO! I won't do it! I-I-I've been beaten and bullied for the last time, Baroness! I-I-I can't get back to that!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: But Grim...Cuphead and Mugman wants to help you and you're fighting them like crazy...does that make you better than the bullies...if you're the one doing the bullying?

(The middle headed Grim...looked in surprise...and in realization.)

GRIM MATCHSTICK: W...What...?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: You heard me, Grim. You're bruising, and bullying people who are trying to help you...and perhaps help all of Inkwell Isle. Does that make you ANY better than the bullies who attacked you in the past?

(Grim...was perplexed...and confused.)

GRIM MATCHSTICK: Golly...I-I...I never knew...I've been bullied for so long...but after I sold my soul to the Devil...I became the bully, and...I didn't even notice it...

(Soon, the two heads were about to blow fire at the two Cups...but the middle headed, Grim stopped them.)

GRIM MATCHSTICK: STOP!

(At order the two other heads stopped what they were doing. Cuphead and Mugman, nervously kept their fingers in front of Grim.)

GRIM MATCHSTICK: I-I...I-I don't wanna fight anymore...

(Grim sighs in defeat as he coughed up from his mouth, his soul contract. In disgust...and reluctance...Cuphead picked it up anyway.)

CUPHEAD: Yick.

MUGMAN: What made you change your mind, so quickly?

GRIM MATCHSTICK: I've been fighting against the Devil with my newfound powers...but I've been only bullying people around, in the process...I don't really deserve my contract...I'm...I'm no better than the Devil himself.

CUPHEAD: I mean...I guess that makes the both of us. What do you think we've been doing this whole time?

GRIM MATCHSTICK: Cuphead...y-you're gonna do the right thing for all of us...right?

CUPHEAD: Of course, hehe! I'll help all you debtors! I haven't done so in Inkwell Glade, so I wanna start now!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: You've been doing quite a good job, as of now, Cuphead.

MUGMAN: I can vouch for ya!

MATCHSTICK HEAD 1: W-WAIT! So we're gonna let him go!? WE HAVEN'T EVEN GIVEN HIM A KNOCKOUT!

CUPHEAD: Grim...truth be told...I don't wanna give you a knockout.

GRIM MATCHSTICK & MATCHSTICK HEADS: Really?

GRIM MATCHSTICK: But...after all I've done to you, Cuphead, don't you think I deserve it?

CUPHEAD: Nah. I've been knocking everyone out two-and fro, but...I want to make an exception for you, Grim. You gave me what we came for, after all...so...I think knocking you out is just...overdoing it. Right, Baroness? She's the one that told me not to hurt you so much.

GRIM MATCHSTICK: B-Baroness...you would do that for me?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Of course, Grim. Let's just say, Cuphead opened my eyes...yeah that's it. I'm trying to help the two persuade everyone else in the Park that...maybe we don't HAVE to kill off Cuphead.

GRIM MATCHSTICK: Golly, Bon-Bon. You sure are one heck of a diplomat, huh?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Hey, peace has gotta start SOMEWHERE, right? Sooo...what's our next contract, Cuphead?

CUPHEAD: Let me see...

(Cuphead soon takes out the Devil's scroll as he crosses out Grim, as Grim 'Willingly' gave Cuphead the contract after a change of heart...one spot remains.)

CUPHEAD: It looks like next off we need to find, Wally Warbles.

MUGMAN: And Golly Cuphead, he's the last soul contract we gotta find in Inkwell Park!

CUPHEAD: On top of that, Mugs, we've still got some time before tonight! If we keep this up, we'll be able to wrap things up in no time!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: You boys really have been busy today, my how time flies.

GRIM MATCHSTICK: Speakin' of fly, I can fly you boys to Inkwell Canyon double quick. Wally's nest is perched just near there.

MUGMAN: You would help us, Grim?

MATCHSTICK HEAD 2: You would help them?

GRIM MATCHSTICK: I would help them. After all...it's never too late to help out, right, Cuphead?

(Grim winks and Cuphead and Mugman gives the dragon a warm smile.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Right!

GRIM MATCHSTICK: Then hop on guys, it'll be a wild ride to Inkwell Canyon!

(Cuphead and Mugman soon hopped on Grim's back. The two heads disappeared as Cuphead, Mugman, and the Baroness smiles. As the rain begins to dissipate, and the sun begins to shine once more, Grim Matchstick took flight off stage as the curtains closes for the next scene transition, as everyone gives an applause.)


(The curtain rises back up after the applause, seeing Grim Matchstick flying through the rocky Inkwell Canyon. Grim perched himself on rocky structure, noticing the next just towering the dragon.)

GRIM MATCHSTICK: This should be Wally's nest. He should be around here somewhere, so you guys better get ready for a fight.

CUPHEAD: Right...soooo...what's Wally's deal? Why did he sell his soul to the Devil?

BARONESS VON BON-BON & GRIM MATCHSTICK: Flight.

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Flight?

GRIM MATCHSTICK: Yeah, Wally before wasn't like other birds. He...well long story short he couldn't fly.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: He was always a cuckoo bird that's always stuck in a cuckoo clock house. Soooo...he couldn't fly and neither his son, Wally Jr. Great kid, REALLY smart, he's legit been called an egghead.

CUPHEAD: So Wally made a deal with the Devil so he and his son can fly with the other birds?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Not only did he want to fly, but he wanted to be the fastest bird in Inkwell Isle. So, yeah the Devil came to him and made him sigh his soul away, granting him and his son the power of flight. Soon, all the birds were ogling over him.

?: Cuckoo-Cuckoo-Cuckoo-Cuckoo...

(Suddenly, as cuckoo clock sound was heard. Grim grimaced.)

GRIM MATCHSTICK: HE'S COMING! I don't want him to see me, Wally has a REALLY short temple...good luck!

(Quickly Grim took flight away from Inkwell Canyon as the Cuckoo sound draws near.)

CUPHEAD: Well...we'll see what we can do, regarding flight. Mugman, get your plane out, we're taking our conversation with Wally, sky high.

MUGMAN: Right-o, Cuphead!

(Cuphead and Mugman soon took out their airplanes and took flight, as Cuphead buckled the Bodiless Baroness in. Soon, they drew closer to the source of the cuckoo-clock sound until finally...they've met with a giant cuckoo-clock standing in their way. Music begins to play in sync with the cuckoo-clock noises.)

Aviary Action
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Wally Warbles, Wally Jr. & Chorus

Cuckoo Clock
Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo,
Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo...

(Soon taking Cuphead and Mugman by surprise, bursting out from the flying Cuckoo clock's clock...was their next debtor: an enlarged cuckoo bird, who seems really steamed up, and mad. No doubt it was Wally Warbles.)

Wally Warbles
CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO
CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO-CUCKOO!

You two are just CUCKOO if you think to best me!
I'm the mighty ruler of the SKY!

Bird Chorus
He is the ruler of the SKY!

Wally Warbles & (Bird Chorus)
I'm the ruler of the sky (THE SKY!) You Cups can't win up high!

Wally Warbles & Bird Chorus
You Cups won't ever spread your wings and fly!

Bird Chorus & (Wally Warbles)
It's all too plain to see (B-GAWK!) You cups can't beat Wally (CUCKOO!)
It's all too plain to see (BIRD NOISES!) You cups can't beat Wally!

Wally Warbles & (Bird Chorus)
You're just CUCKOO if you think to best me!
I'm the mighty ruler of the SKY! (He's the ruler of the sky!)

I'm the ruler of the sky You cups can't win up high!
You Cups won't ever spread your wings and fly!

(Already Wally has been hit enough, the bird was so raging mad, that his head turned into a steam whistle and blew out steam in anger. His head turns back to normal, and he begins frantically waving and flailing around as feather flew all around the Canyon.)

Wally Warbles
It's the contract, you both want, huh? That just makes me mad!

By now you're all the Devil's pawns, and Baroness, YOU'VE BEEN HAD!

We've got some SKY-HIGH violence, that we have in stored
So c'mon Cup, give it your all, LET'S SEE WHO SLANTS AND SEE WHO SOARS!

Wally Warbles & (Bird Chorus)
You two are just CUCKOO if you think to best me!
I'm the mighty ruler of the SKY! (He's the ruler of the sky!)

I'm the ruler of the sky You cups can't win up high!
You Cups won't ever spread your wings and fly!

Wally Jr.
O Papa Wally, O Papa Wally, O Papa Wally, will smite down thee!

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman blasted the bird away with all his feathers off...soon Wally slipped down the bird house. As the destroyed birdhouse combusts, coming out of the bird-house is a miniature baby bird...with an egg-shaped head, on a miniature homing nest.)

Wally Warbles
ACK! Get them...son...

Wally Jr.
Father's brawn, and I'm the brain, together we bring so much pain
Your journey, Cuphead's at an end, I'll make sure you will NEVER mend

You can't outfly the very smarts of the sky,
But, I'd like some good amusement, so by all means, GO AND TRY!

I've the equation, to hinder your evasion
Father's brawn, and I'm the brain, together we're the true invasion

I admit you really had it rough, betting your soul hard and tough
Nevertheless, we birds won't bend, so it's the ground we both will send

To heck with you and the Devil's little game of chess
I'M THE BRAIN, I KNOW THE GAME, BUT FIRST THING'S FIRST WE'LL CLEAN YOUR MESS

RIGHT?!

Wally Warbles
I soar throughout all the air
I go where the eagles won't dare
Some come and attack me now, BEWARE!

I soar throughout all the air
I go where the eagles won't dare
Some come and attack me now, BEWARE!

I soar throughout all the air
I go where the eagles won't dare
Some come and attack me now, BEWARE!

Wally Warbles, Wally Jr. & (Bird Chorus)
You two just CUCKOO if you think to best me!
I'm the mighty ruler of the SKY! (He's the ruler of the sky!)

I'm the ruler of the sky You cups can't win up high!
You Cups won't ever spread your wings and fly!

(Soon, Wally Warbles teamed up with Wally Jr. Only difference is, despite him on a strainer, and the bird doctors are carrying him, Wally is still trying to fight the Cups off. Territorial indeed.)

Wally Warbles
I fly my way, and soar my way,
I know how to navigate throughout the stormy weather,

It's all sky-high violence for you Cupheads
I can handle some kitchen cups, despite my loss of feathers

See the fleet behind me? Wally Jr. And the birds?
We will all protect our flight, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

RIGHT?!

Wally Jr; Bird Chorus, & (Wally Warbles)
We soar throughout all the air
We go where the eagles won't dare
So come and attack us now, BEWARE! (Attack me if ya dare~)

We soar throughout all the air
We go where the eagles won't dare
So come and attack us now, BEWARE! (We Warbles are a scare~)

We win throughout all the air
We go where the eagles won't dare
So come and attack us now, BEWARE!

Wally Warbles & Wally Jr; & (Bird Chorus)
You're too cuckoo to try and fight against us (Fight against us)
You're too cuckoo to try to fight us back

Fight us back, amidst our
Great attack, you cups are kooky and crazy to
Try, you'll die, and fall down the sky you're

Wally Warbles, Wally Jr & (Bird Chorus)
Just too cuckoo to try and fight against us (Fight against us)

Wally Warbles, Wally Jr. & Bird Chorus
You're too cuckoo to try to fight us back

Fight us back, amidst our
Great attack, you cups are kooky and crazy to
Try...up...high!

Bird Chorus & (Wally Jr.)
You two are just CUCKOO if you think to best He

He's the mighty ruler of the SKY! (He's the ruler of the sky!)

He's the ruler of the sky You cups can't win up high!
You Cups won't ever spread your wings and fly!

Wally Warbles
KEY CHANGE!

Wally Warbles, Wally Jr. & (Bird Chorus)
You two are just CUCKOO if you think to best me(He!)!
I'm(He's) the mighty ruler of the SKY! (He's the ruler of the sky!)

I'm(He's) the ruler of the sky You cups can't win up high!
You Cups won't ever spread your wings and fly!

Wally Warbles
It's all just too adorable, but you're just too deplorable
You still think you'll ever win, against me, and try to best me?

I disagree with that, we birds will beat ya at the drop of a hat
Got cotton in your ears, cup? I think it's time we make it clear

You'll never soar

Wally Jr.
You'll never glide

Bird Chorus
You'll never hover in the sky

Wally Warbles, Wally Jr. & Bird Chorus
You cups won't EVER spread your wings and fly!

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

(Immediately following at the word 'Fly' Cuphead and Mugman, were able to defeat Wally Warbles, who was dizzily slumped as the bird doctors looked down on the bald cuckoo bird.)

BIRD DOCTOR #1: Tsk, tsk, tsk, you really gave him a wallop, didn't ya?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Not much on helping him out, huh...Cuphead?

CUPHEAD: Well, I'm sure there's something. I mean...there's GOTTA be something we can do for him, right?

BIRD DOCTOR #2: Wally simply fainted due to resisting so much. We'll handle thing here. And uh...we found this, when we caught Wally. I'd figure you boys want this...right?

(The Bird Doctor soon hands Cuphead and Mugman Wally's soul contract.)

MUGMAN: RIGHT-O! WE'VE GOT THE LAST CONTRACT IN INKWELL PARK, CUP!

CUPHEAD: Yeah...truth be told I don't have it in me to celebrate again, like we did in Inkwell Glade. (sighs) let's just get to the Die House, give these contracts to King Dice, and move on to the next place.

(Growling was heard from the Baroness at the mention of 'King Dice')

CUPHEAD: Ohhhh...right...uhhhhhhhh...how can this work?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Just put me in Mugman's bag, and I'll be fine. ANYTHING, I don't dare wanna look at that scum.

MUGMAN: Alrighty, I'll remember to put you in my pouch, before we reach the Die House. Let's get going, WHOO!

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman soon flew off away from Inkwell Canyon leaving the two bird doctors alone. However, as Mugman was trailing behind, he soon noticed the two Bird Doctors with bonnets, and chef hats, sprinkling salt and pepper on Wally.)

MUGMAN: (Gasp) NOOOOOOOOOOO! NONONONONONONONONONO!

(Frantically, Mugman turned his plane around and sped at the speed of light, smacking the salt and pepper to the ground, quickly.)

MUGMAN: BAD BIRDS! REALLY BAD BIRDS!

CUPHEAD: Mugman, what's going on?

(Cuphead was seen flying back.)

MUGMAN: The Bird Doctors were going to eat Wally!

CUPHEAD & BARONESS VON BON-BON: What?!

BIRD DOCTOR #1: Hey, if Wally was gonna die, he's gonna die. Might as well put him outta his misery.

CUPHEAD: YOU IDIOTS, CAN'T YOU HELP HIM?!

BIRD DOCTORS: Help him...?

CUPHEAD, MUGMAN, & BARONESS VON BON-BON: GET HIM TO A DOC!

BIRD DOCTORS #2: Alright, alright. Geez we'll get the bird to a doctor. I'm sure he'll be fine...but we're soooo hungry...

CUPHEAD: NOW!

(That being said, frantically the two bird doctors got flying and hoisted Wally to the doctor, to which he regains consciousness, and gave a thumbs up to Cuphead, Mugman, and the Baroness.)

WALLY WARBLES: (At a distance) I STILL HATE YA CUPS, BUT THANKS FOR THE SAVE!

CUPHEAD: NO PROBLEM!

MUGMAN: Golly, I hope Wally's gonna be alright.

CUPHEAD: My hope is that those birds to go out of their word, and eat him...I REALLY hope they don't.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: I don't think we're in the position to see as of now, unfortunately. In the meantime, Cuphead, we've gotta get to the Die House and deliver your contracts to...He who shall NOT be named...

CUPHEAD: Right-o

(Soon, to which once again, Cuphead and Mugman flew off the Inkwell Canyon scene as the lights closed, and the scene transition is made as the curtain closes. Everyone...applauses, once again.)


(After the applause, ceased, Cuphead and Mugman reached the Die House, just at the edge of Inkwell Park. Before entering, Mugman quickly stored Baroness Von Bon-Bon into his pouch. Soon...they entered. No doubt King Dice was eager to meet the cups.)

KING DICE: W-HELL, WELL, Welcome back boys! This place seems familiar, ain't it? Heh.

CUPHEAD: Yep...seems only this morning we came to the one in Inkwell Glade.

KING DICE: Yesiree, Cup. That bein' said, you know how it goes, don't ya? Just like in Inkwell Glade, ya fork over the contracts. Soooooo, cough 'em up.

CUPHEAD: Right, we didn't forget that part, King Dice. Here.

(Cuphead takes out all the contracts of Baroness Von Bon-Bon, Djimmi the Great, Beppi the Clown, Grim Matchstick, and Wally Warbles, all signed from the Devil's office. He gives the 5 contracts to King Dice, who intently looks at each one of them in case of any forgery...they're all legit. King Dice places them in his pocket and smiles at the cups.)

KING DICE: Well, well, Cupface, looks like I've underestimated ya. You gave those debtors quite the wallop, and ya walloped them good, I assume. You can head over to the next isle.

MUGMAN: So what's the next place, to go?

KING DICE: Next up for you teacups is Inkwell City. Heh, you're halfway there, Cup. You get your greedy gloves on all the contracts in the city, well you can just go to me at Inkwell Hell...heheheh...

MUGMAN: Inkwell Hell...where the Casino is.

KING DICE: That's right. Let's see cups, if you have what it takes to handle the big city, heheheh. You nab those contracts and bring them to me, then ya'll won yourself an audience with the big man himself.

MUGMAN: The Devil...

KING DICE: That's right. And he'll be sure as HELL excited to meet ya again. Have fun now, HEHEHEH!

(And with that, King Dice teleports out, leaving Cuphead and Mugman alone.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (muffling) Is that schnook gone?

MUGMAN: He's gone, Miss. Bon-Bon.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (muffling) Take me out! It smells like expired milk in here!

(Mugman unzips his pouch, and he took out the Baroness's head, as she was green with sickness.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Yeah...probably the LAST I as to go in Mugman's pouch.

CUPHEAD: Are you ok, Baroness?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Aside from the taste of expired milk making its way to my mouth, and the fact that I had to listen to the voice of THAT Cow...yeah. I'm fine. So, it's Inkwell City you boys are going to now?

CUPHEAD: Yeah...and after Inkwell City, King Dice told us to go straight to Inkwell Hell where the casino is.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Wowee...Cuphead, Mugman...you're really close to meeting with the Devil again.

CUPHEAD: Yeah...I'll be sure to get him to set things right with you guys...one way or another.

(Soon, Cuphead makes his way to the exit to the Die House as Mugman stopped him.)

MUGMAN: Cup?

CUPHEAD: Yeah Mugs?

MUGMAN: I know it's off to bring this up now...but...am I the only one worried about Hilda?

CUPHEAD: Hilda? Yeah...now that you mention it, we never saw her ONCE as we were going through the Park. Do you think she went back home, Mugs?

MUGMAN: I'm hoping she did, but even so...don't you think she could've told us, first?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: D'oh you boys are worrying too much. I'm sure Hilda's doing just fine. I'm sure like Cuphead said, she simply went back home. For now, I feel we should worry about getting the contracts in Inkwell City, right boys?

CUPHEAD: She's right, Mugs, we can look for Hilda after we get this done. We're so close to finished, Mugs.

MUGMAN: (Looking in concern) Yeah...I guess you're right. Alrighty, let's get this done, and then we can look for her, deal?

CUPHEAD & BARONESS VON BON-BON: Deal!

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman opened the Die House exit...as the city life awaits them, and the curtains closed.)


Don't Mess With Me(Reprise)
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. King Dice & Devil

(Soon after the applause, the curtain rises to...not Cuphead and Mugman's perspective...but the scene changes to what appears to be the Devil's office. King Dice gives the Devil the Inkwell Park contracts...as he began to sing...a familiar tune.)

King Dice
I gotta say boss, that those Cupheads have some fight
I gotta say boss, that they're givin' those debtors a fight

The Devil
What did I say Dice, that those Cupheads have the stuff
It's pretty clear Dice, C'MON, Those Cupheads are tough!

King Dice
Though I'm not at a disagreement, I still think there's somethin' fishy

The Devil
Cool your wig Dice, they've some gall, if they can mess with me!

The Devil & (King Dice)
Don't mess with Devil...(Don't mess with Devil...)
Don't mess with me...(Don't mess with him...)
Don't mess with Devil...(Don't mess with Devil...)
DON'T MESS WITH ME!

(Soon, the Devil worked his magic...using the contracts from Inkwell Glade, he used his magic to bring forth the debtors from their contracts. He used his magic to bring Cagney in how flower pot position using his soul contract. Cagney gulped as he turned to see Hilda Berg, Goope Le Grande, the Root Pack, and Ribby & Croaks in shackles.)

CAGNEY CARNATION: Oh...oh no...

King Dice
Usin' the contracts, to fetch the debtors of Inkwell Glade
Clever as always, looks like their debt is soon to be paid

The Devil
Foolish little debtors, ya really thought you could squeal away
You've messed with me kids, so, now it's time to pay!

The Devil & (King Dice)
DON'T MESS WITH DEVIL! (Don't mess with Devil!)
DON'T MESS WITH ME! (Don't mess with him!)
DON'T MESS WITH DEVIL! (Don't mess with Devil!)
DON'T MESS WITH MEEE-YEEAHHHHHAHAHAHHAAH!

(Soon, only the Devil and King Dice's shadow shadowed not only Cagney as he was completely fraught with fear, but the Debtors who most of them were either in fear or defeat. All except Hilda Berg...for she knows that Cuphead will beat him...soon...or at least she hopes.)


(Soon, everyone gives an applause once more. This time the curtain closes and the lights of the auditorium begins to gleam up a bit. Soon, coming to the stage whilst the curtains were still closed is the Barbershop Quartet from the beginning.)

A Quick Break
Lyrics by Kristopher Maddigan
Feat. Barbershop Quartet

(Arriving from the right end of the stage comes three living barbershop poles, as they were behind the closed curtain. Soon, a fourth one trails behind.)

BARBERSHOP POLE #1: (Harmonica blow) (Sings in Base) It's...

BARBERSHOP POLE #2: (Sings in Baritone) It's...

BARBERSHOP POLE #3: (Sings the Tenor) It's...

BARBERSHOP POLE #4: (Sings in countertenor) It's...

(The lead stopped them, giving the boys a thumbs up...and soon...they sang.)

Barbershop Quartet
It's nice to rest your eyes, or maybe go outside...
Grab a book and get some air...
So what...are you waiting for...?

Base
Bum-bum-bum-bum

Barbershop Quartet
Why not take a quick break?
Tune the radio-o-o?

Base
Bum-bum-bum-there's

Barbershop Quartet
Chores to do, there's leaves to rake
Strum the old banjo-o-o

Base
You...

Barbershop Quartet
You can practice your lindy hop

Base
Bum-bum-bum-bum

Barbershop Quartet
And maybe later sing with your barbershop?

Barbershop Quartet (Tenor)
Why not take a little quick break
And come back for more (More-ore-ore-ore) more-ore
Then come back to more (More-ore-ore-ore) more-ORE!

Barbershop Quartet
Please come back to more-ore-ore!

(And soon the Barbershop Quartet takes a bow as everyone gives a cheer. Soon, the lights of the auditorium were lit completely up. It is time for the intermission...of Cuphead the Musical. Stay tuned.)


I...to be frank...was actually excited upon making it to 50,000 words. This is the longest work that I have ever done, and I hope that everyone loves it. Most of the songs I've had...allot of fun writing...or rewriting. That being said, in hopes this somehow gets acknowledged on YouTube...or some stuff, I hope you all enjoyed Act 1...of Cuphead the Musical.
