Chapter 1:

As he opened his eyes, Asriel was blinded by a bright light. Thatcs when he noticed something off. Wait, I... Am I alive? He gripped at the grass underneath him with one paw. I... I have fingers! I'm not a flower anymore! He opened his eyes again and found himself looking at a huge, bright ball in the sky. Sky? Am I on the surface?

He remembered that when he had first ventured to the surface with Chara, they had called it the 'sun'. He slowly rose and looked at his hands, relieved to see the familiar sleeves of his shirt. But how had this happened?

"You okay?"

Asriel turned around and saw two... cups? On bodies? One wore red overalls, had a red bended straw in his head, and a small red nose. The other had a slightly taller head, with blue overalls, a straight straw, and a big blue nose. They seemed worried.

"Uh, yeah..." Asriel said, "I think I'm fine..." "When we found you on the ground, we started to get worried," The blue cup said, "What happened?" Asriel shrugged, "I'm not sure... uh... where am I?"

"Inkwell Isle," The red cup said, "You not from around here or something?" Asriel shook his head. "Well, I guess we should introduce ourselves," he said, "I'm Cuphead, and this is my brother Mugman." They seemed nice. "Those are nice names. My name is Asriel."

"It's nice to meet you, Asriel." Cuphead said. "Oh! We should head home!" Mugman said, "Elder Kettle will be worried, and we should tell him what happened." Cuphead nodded. "Alright. You wanna come, Asriel?"

Asriel nodded, smiling. As they began to walk, Mugman decided to strike up a conversation. "Hey, Asriel, wanna hear about the time Cups bet our souls to the devil?" Asriel tilted his head. "The devil?"

Cuphead nodded. "Yeah. You know, he's got big ears, big horns, fur, and claws?" Asriel stopped. He remembered what he had done to everyone in the underground before. Mugman noticed him looking down at the ground. "O-Oh! Cuphead didn't mean that you were the devil! His fur is black and he works at a casino."

This reassured Asriel. "Oh... tthank you, Mugman." He smiled. "C'mon, slowpokes! We're almost home!" Cuphead called. I like this place.
