Cuphead the Musical

by mingler45567

In combinations of lyrics old and revised, and new lyrics in the midst of a few lyrics I...borrowed from others...I have drawn together a script of Cuphead the Musical. Join this musical performance as Cuphead and Mugman made a deal with the Devil, as the two cups journey through all Inkwell Isle to fight the debtors that await them, setting things right for EVERYONE.

2. Act 2

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 2

(Soon, the lights begin the flicker down once again. The intermission is over, and soon everyone gives an applause as the curtains roll up. Unlike before...it does not start with the Barbershop Quartet...no...the beginning scene of Act 2 starts...in the Devil's Office, with all the debtors of Inkwell Glade in shackles, and the Devil looking proudly at his work.)

DEVIL: Goope LeGrande, Weepy, Moe-Tato, & Psycarrot, Ribby & Croaks, Cagney Carnation...and Miss. Hilda Berg. Humor me and explain what gave you the idea that you debtors would just simply...waltz out and go about your merry lives?

CAGNEY CARNATION: (Shivering in his roots.) I..uhhh...said please?

DEVIL: And you're a kind flower in doing so, but despite this... you're are MINE!

(Soon flames flared up between the Devil, the moment he says Mine. Most of the debtors looked in fear and concern...Hilda however, only kept a straight face.)

DEVIL: When ya'll made a deal with me, WHEN YA'LL SOLD YOUR SOUL TO ME, WHEN YA'LL SIGN MY CONTRACT...Well...I think it's self explanatory. Make a pack with me, and all of you are MY property.

RIBBY: (Chuckles nervously) Heh...I guess we didn't get the memo.

DEVIL: Damn right you didn't. (The Devil soon lit his finger on fire to fuel the cigar in his mouth.) Now...take a look at the fire of this cigar.

(Everyone minus Goope and Hilda took a look at the cigar's fire.)

DEVIL: That's you. ALL of you debtors. You thought you foolish debtors would squirm away from me, but now that I have YOUR contracts, heh...it'll make my job easier. So once I get all of you back in MY office...we'll all have some quality time getting to know each other...in HELL!

(The cigar began to flare up a mighty flame, making the Root Pack, Cagney, and the Frog Bros look in terror. However, Goope and Hilda only rolled their eyes. The Devil wasn't pleased. He approached the two.)

DEVIL: Peculiar. You two don't seem the slightest intimidated. Care to share WHY? Goope, Hilda?

HILDA BERG: You know you didn't get the contracts by yourself.

(Soon, everyone including the Devil turned to Hilda and Goope.)

GOOPE LE GRANDE: The only reason you've gotten our soul contracts is because you forcefully made poor Cuphead and Mugman your little pawns!

DEVIL: PUH-LEASE. Think of it as a little compromise. Those little glassheads wanted their lives to be spared, and...well we've made a deal. Heheh, the wonders of the impact my casino has on this putrid isle.

GOOPE LE GRANDE: If you mean the impact of temptation, then you're not wrong.

DEVIL: Yep, temptation, whatever. Bottom line, those boys are spineless if I put enough fear in 'em. Why...Dice and I made a bit of a bet that they would actually pull it off. Heheheheh...looks like I'm winning.

HILDA BERG: How could you bet on two LITTLE BOYS!?

DEVIL: BECAUSE IT'S HILARIOUS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

(The Devil bellowed as the throne room roared in flames.)

DEVIL: See, it's like this: kids are EASY to influence. They'll do WHATEVER I say if ya put enough fear in them, just as I said. Those two idiots know DAMN well what would happen if they squeal away from MY offer...Besides...I also see some potential on those two 'little boys' heh, if I had my way, I would make those cups apart of my team.

CAGNEY CARNATION: W-Why?

DEVIL: Because, those boys are knockin' EVERYTHING to the ball park. Puttin you debtors on ice, one. by. one. If I get those boys onto my team, hehe, then we'll damn well show Inkwell Isle just who's the real boss.

HILDA BERG: How might cocky of you, Devil, but I have faith that those boys'll do the right thing. Those two are gonna break you, Devil. They'll break you good.

GOOPE LE GRANDE: They ain't the little twigs you broke before, Devil. We're sure of it!

CAGNEY CARNATION: Uh...I-I'm not with them! This isn't coming from me!

RIBBY & CROAKS: THOSE TWO ARE INSANE!

WEEPY: (crying) I DON'T WANNA BURN IN HELL, WAAAAAAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!

(The Devil however...did not say a single word. He soon turned to the glass overseeing Inkwell City AND Inkwell Hell. He sucked in his cigar, and blew out some smoke...as he showed his smile...teeth as sharp as a shark.)

DEVIL: You're right, Miss. Hilda. I didn't nab those contracts with my own two claws, to which...I gotta give those boys credit. They're strong...stronger than I would expect. I myself believe they'll shake this world...for better...or for worse...it's all on them.

They've Come So Far
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. The Devil, Hilda Berg & Goope Le Grande

(Soon, symbols began to silently clash down...and soon, the Devil started to sing.)

The Devil
They've come so far, they're quite the staaa-ars, heh
They've come so far, they've made their marks, hell yeah they've made their marks

They've come so far, alone with their chaaaa-arms, heh
It's time to see what comes next for these brothers in aaaaarms...

Hilda Berg
They've come so far, they won't back doooo-own, now.
They've fight so hard, from Glade to Town, they've fought the fight and made it to town

They've come so far, alone with their chaaaa-arms, their charms
I know that they will prevail, these brothers in aaaaaaarms...

Goope Le Grande
The fact that they're alive is a MIRACLE!

Look at where they are, and where they started, Devil,
And I know they'll stay alive

They've fought through your hell and back, they fought to get their souls back,
They have done the unimaginable

Can't you see, we all have the hopes to be free
And we know Cup and Mugman will be the key

We have nothing to fear, we still have our hopes we hold dear
YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOM, WE KNOW THEY CAN BEAT YA!

CAUSE!

The Devil, Hilda Berg, & Goope LeGrande, & (The Root Pack)
They've come so far, they're quite the staaa-ars, (It's clear that they are the stars)
They've come so far, they've made their marks, (It is crystal clear, they've made their mark)

They've come so far, alone with their chaaaa-arms, (Such witty charms)
It's time to see what comes next for these brothers in aaaaarms...

Cagney Carnation
I REMIND YOU WHAT THEY SAY DON'T INVOLVE ME!

Hilda Berg & Goope LeGrande & (The Root Pack)
They've come so far, they won't back doooo-own, now. (We know those cups won't back down)
They've fight so hard, from Glade to Town, (Through our gardens, the skyway, the treetops, and now to town)

They've come so far, alone with their chaaaa-arms, their charms (Their charms)

Hilda Berg
I know that they will prevail, these brothers in aaaaaaarms...

Goope LeGrande
I know that they will prevail, these brothers in aaaaaarms...

Goope LeGrande & Hilda Berg
It's time to see what comes next...

The Devil
For these brothers in aaaaarms~ hehehehehhhh!

(The curtain closes with the Devil's laugh. Everyone applause and soon the Curtain rises up with Cuphead, Mugman, and their bodiless companion, Baroness Von Bon-Bon, entering what appears to be some sort of skyscraper filled with honey and bees. It's their first location: the Hive Resort, the building that resides their first debtor...in Inkwell City.)

CUPHEAD: Uh...

MUGMAN: Can I have everyone's attention, please?

(Soon all the workers turned to the three...everyone went in silence and stopped everything they were doing. This makes our trio look in concern)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: We won't be long, so we'll make this short and sweet: we're here for Rumor Honeybottoms.

(Drums begin to strum the moment they mention the Bee Queen's name.)

Honeycomb Herald
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Rumor Honeybottoms, Bobee Cop & Chorus

?: I've made myself quite the corporation, have I not?

(Shadowing behind the three, stands their target: the large Queen Rumor Honeybottoms: the bee queen of the Honeycomb Herald...their very first debtor of Inkwell City. She looks at the group with utencils in her gloved hands, and a bib. She only frowned at the three.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Cuphead, Mugman, here so quickly...and just beefore lunchtime...

(Duke Ellington played a single ominous note, and she began to sing)

Rumor Honeybottoms
What...
Oh what's to be the buzz, the hubbub, the news...news to be amused...

You've come to take our honey
Well I've some news, my honey
You'll never take it all away~

(A whistle began to blow)

This day...is the day...
The day you Cupheads pay!

Bobbee
A heist...a honey heist
So tally ho, you Cuphead foes are under arrest

There is no escape
You have done well, but in this hotel, you shall soon rest

Rumor Honeybottoms
Such delight, such pleasantries golden and sweet
Tasty treats, watch it gleam
Golden sweets...A MEAL FIT FOR A QUEEN!

Bobee
SO, give up this act!
Bees all around, we will surround, if you attack

Time, to end this thing
This is the Hive, none have survive, Queen Rumor's sting!

Chorus
It is clear that...

Bobee, & Chorus
You cannot fight off our Queen!
You will not fight through the big city

Fear Rumor's sting
She controls everything
None who entered here ever survive...
THE HIVE!

(Soon whilst Cuphead and Mugman rapidly fired, as the Bobee cop threw his bombs around, they finally set him down and defeated him, as he buzzed off.)

Bobee
OW!

Male Chorus & (Female Chorus)
Stop, this honey heist...
You've no more pleas, both come with me, calms as can bee (Calm as can be!)

There's is no escape
Nowhere to go, you are our foes, you can both see

(Instrumental Interlude: Piano solo)

(As the Duke Ellington Bee went ham on the piano, Immediately the paramedics picked up the Bobee through the stretcher, and hoisted him out of the battle circle, as Rumor Honeybottom herself flew down to the cups with her staff at hand)

(Interlude end)

Rumor Honeybottoms
Such a juicy story, I shall soon have glory,
It's the tale of Cuphead, his brother and his traitor dead

Rumor Honeybottoms & Chorus
It's right on the money, you won't take our honey
Soon the hive will flourish, It's money I will nourish!

Rumor Honeybottoms
Soon, with my sorcery, it is dishes vs cutlery
So sing and dance, and prance your prance, at your peril it will end with me

I'm the Queen, the honey Queen, the Hive shall very soon rein surpreme
It'll GLEAM! Gleam, as our honeybees flock and teem

It's your final end it seems, you cups are breaking at the seam
The Hive shall stop the Devil's scheme, by throwing you through our stream,

You try to hope, try to redeem, to win with praises and esteem
You Cupheads dream a deluded dream, I'll wake you up, FOR I'M THE QUEEN!

Chorus
And, you cannot fight off our Queen!
You can not fight through the big city

Fear Rumor's sting
She controls everything
None who entered here ever survives...

Rumor Honeybottoms
You won't get our honey, it's all right on the money,
Well, I will tell you honey, You cups shall never survive

Rumor Honeybottoms & Chorus
THE HIVE!

(Soon Cuphead and Mugman looked at the Queen Bee glaring daggers at them. Soon Honeybottoms turns to her book and skimmed through the pages as they climbed the platforms for her.)

Base Chorus
Here at the Hive Resort, we know the means to end your thwart
Here at the Hive Resort, you cups will never have support

You may have won the hearts, and mend the hearts of all the debtors
But you shall never win the hearts, and mend the hearts of our sort

Male Chorus
You may have won the hearts, and mend the hearts of all the debtors

Chorus
But you shall never win the hearts, and mend the hearts of our bee kind!

(Suddenly she pointed on a part of the book. She found a spell. Knowing the book's job was done, Honeybottoms threw the book away and soon began transformed into...)

Cuphead
Holy buzz, she turned into a plane...

(Soon on Honeybottom's cue, The Duke Ellington Bee got prepared and slammed down on the piano for Honeybottom's moment of truth. She sings)

Rumor Honeybottoms & (Female Chorus)
Buzz...oh what a buzz...the Hive...stirs...
Oh~ a beautiful buzz...the honey...blurs

Buzz...a BEAUTIFUL buzz...the bees...can confer (Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh~)
Oh~ a submissive buzz...it is the END...good sirs! (Ahhhh-ahhhhh-ahhhh-ahhhh~)

Rumor Honeybottoms, Bobee, & (Chorus)
Hark the herald sings, we feast likes kings...you see (Ahhhh-ahhhhh-ahhhh-ahhhh~)
We dominate...we bombinate...that's how...we bee (Ahhhh-ahhhhh-ahhhh-ahhhh~)

Chorus
For can't you see that...

Rumor Honeybottoms, Bobee, & (Chorus)
You will not fight off our Queen/win against me! (You cannot fight off our Queen~)
You will not fight through the big city (You cannot fight because...)

Rumor Honeybottoms, Bobee, & Chorus
Fear Rumor's sting
She(I) controls everything
None who entered here ever survive...

(Soon the drums began to go ham and soon...slammed down)

THE HIVE~

(As the song concluded, the Cups and Mugs soon began notice that they have been jumping platforms to the top of the Hive Tower. They're running out of platforms...it won't bode well.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Honeybottoms, ruler to ruler, I know you can stand down, can't you?

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: I fear...dearest Baroness, that you may find us...rather difficult to convert, in comparison to those in Inkwell Park.

CUPHEAD: Why did SHE sell her soul?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Sigh) Rumor...well I feel her deal came from greed, and...maintaining her hive. She doesn't have any...tragic background to her soul selling, she...pretty much only wanted more and more honey for her Hive to flourish.

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: And the Hive SHALL flourish! You shall NEVER take our honey!

CUPHEAD: WE DON'T WANT YOUR HONEY, WE JUST WANT YOUR CONTRACT!

MUGMAN: Ain't there SOME sort of compromise so we can get your contract, peacefully?

(Soon, the B-Plane smirks.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Perhaps...

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Really?! What's that?

(Unbeknownst to the two Cups, Rumor was leaning to the direction of the two cups.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: You could perhaps...PERISH AS FATE DIRECTED YOU TO!

(Taking the cups by surprise, a razor blade extended from the plane wing towards Cuphead and Mugman...it was too large to dodge. The boys only looked meekly at the blade coming for them.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (screaming) CUPHEAD! MUGMAN!

(The two cups braced for action knowing that there's nothing they can do about this. Their ends maybe near...)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: HAA-HAHA-AHAHAH-What's this?

(Both rulers looked in confusion...and surprise. They soon came to notice that Cuphead and Mugman were dawning a strange yellow glow around themselves.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Huh?

(On top of that, it doesn't seem like Cuphead nor Mugman were the slightest injured by the Honey Queen's blade...as if...they were)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Invincible?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Well I'll be...

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: NO! I-IT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE!

CUPHEAD: It must be a newfound power, huh? Pretty neat!

MUGMAN: (Narrowing his eyes) Heh, Cuphead, I'm not sure what good we can do for her, but we've gotta stop her before she chops us up into little cupflakes. One last round of Chaser, on the house!

CUPHEAD: You've got it, buddy!

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: INCONCEIVABLE!

(Soon, the two Cupheads, with their newfound powers began shooting their Chaser shot like crazy as they also felt their new power quickly draining out. They shoot, and shoot until...)

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: (Wailing in pain) HMMMMM-BLALALALALALALALALLALALALALALALALALALALALALAL!

(The attack helicopter soon malfunctions, and Honeybottom's head began spinning and spinning like crazy, as she releases hot air through the Airplane nose that is her head. Her blade wings flapped and flapped until they soon fell off, and the Cupheads soon see the Honey Queen, finally returning back to her bee form with a...)

BOOM!

(That boom was almost loud enough to send the whole roof flying. Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness soon approached the white flag flapping bee Queen, as she pulls out her contract in surrender.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Rumor...

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: (She shushes her enemies) Shhhhhhhhhhh...not another word. I'm not going to break, I'm not going to falter, I'm not going to cry or let out things that are best left unsaid. Just...take the contract and go.

(It was clear that the Baroness was more angry than disappointed.)

CUPHEAD: C'mon, Rumor...let us h-

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: (She shushes them once again) SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Before I change my mind, get out. So long as I still have my people, and my hotel...I couldn't care less what happens.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Rumor...

(Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness looked at the Bee Queen in concern.)

MUGMAN: A-Are you sure...? We only wanna help...

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Yes, I'm sure. I'll be fine, alright? Just...take your contract and meet with Brineybeard at Inkwell Pier Marina. He's not far from here.

(The three looked at the Bee Queen in concern. Mugman lifted a finger up...but he decided to leave it all alone. Without saying a word, the three left the stage leaving the Baroness and the Bobbe by themselves.)

BOBEE: I say...my Queen...you wouldn't dare let them take your contract would you?

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: No. They can take my contract, but soon Officer, we will get our consolation prize.

BOBEE: Is that right, My Queen?

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Indeed. Those foolish cups will get theirs, but rest assured you, Bobee...Baroness Von Bon-Bon has no right to sell us out. She has the gall to believe those foolish Cupheads will 'save us' it's pathetic.

BOBEE: It does indeed seem ludicrous that the Baroness believes the Devil's little errand boys will be the ones to 'set us free'

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Yes...Precisely why...Baroness Von Bon-Bon...will pay. Everyone in Inkwell City is at an agreement with this. Once we retrieve her...she will see just how rough the city life is.

(Giving one last chuckle, the curtain soon closes as everyone applause at the said cliffhanger.)

---

(The curtain rises up, once more. Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness tread throughout Inkwell Shore in search of their next debtor in Inkwell City: Captain Brineybeard. Though, they all had faces lowered and slumped.)

MUGMAN: Golly, I uh...sure wish we could've done something more for Miss. Honeybottoms.

CUPHEAD: I'm bummed on that too. We...were doing SOOO good on Inkwell Park, and the one chance we get to help everyone out and she just...dismisses me like that. It bums me out.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: It seems the debtors of Inkwell City...maybe a bit tougher to crack their shells, because the city life...is hard. However, that isn't a reason to give up, boys...we'll get through to them, I'm sure.

CUPHEAD: Yeah...I'm sure we can get through to the rest. Speaking of which, Rumor mentions someone named Brineybeard, is he on the list?

(Mugman soon takes out the Devil's parchment to see the list of debtors of Inkwell City. He soon checks off Rumor Honeybottoms, for it's clear that the boys have gained her soul contract.

MUGMAN: Yep, he's the second one on the list: Captain Brineybeard. What can ya tell about him, Bon-Bon?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Hmm...Captain Brineybeard, I can't say isn't too big of a softy. The Devil helped in become Inkwell City's greatest swashbuckin' Pirate, the finest that ever sailed the Inkwell Seas. Plundering, pillaging, attacking like a true pirate would, all at the cost of his soul.

CUPHEAD: A pirate huh? How are we gonna handle him?

MUGMAN: Well, one thing's for sure, it won't be an easy trip. Pirate's are the scariest ones.

?: Aww, ye makin' me blush, kid...but alas...

(Not noticing that the cups made their way to the pier, they soon walked to the marina to see their next target proudly standing on the bow of a shining red galleon pirate ship with a face. Alongside Captain Brineybeard is a little green haired girl all dressed in red with a shining blade in her hand. A Jolly Roger of the man's face is painted in the black sails.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: BRINEYBEARD!

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: The pleasure's all mine, TRAITOR! LIL RED, MAN THE CANNONS!

LIL' RED: AYE-AYE, CAPTAIN!

(The ship soon nodded its head, as the little girl Pirate soon took some cannonballs and placed them in the cannons. Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness soon noticed Brineybeard's Ship chewing something.)

MUGMAN: Golly, what's he chewing?

CAPTAN BRINEYBEARD: Heh...FIRE!

(Soon the boat blasted a cannon from his mouth, making Cuphead and Mugman look in surprise.)

CUPHEAD: MUGS WATCH OUT!

MUGMAN: YIKES!

(Soon both Cuphead and Mugman jumped out of the way as numerous cannonballs were hurled towards them. Soon, they rose up from the ground to see Brineybeard, Lil' Red, and EVEN the Ship itself glaring and smirking boastfully at the trio.)

Shootin N' Lootin
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Captain Brineybeard, Lil' Red, & Brineybeard's Ship

(Soon the Jazz band began to pick up as Brineybeard's Crew looked triumphantly at Cuphead, Mugman, and the Baroness. A brawl...is surely brewin')

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: That be just a sneak preview of what's to come, boys!

LIL' RED: If ye want our Captain's contract...

BRINEYBEARD'S SHIP: Then you'll have to get past us, first!

(They then starts to sing)

Lil' Red & Brineybeard's Ship
Who's the greatest of them all?
Who's the Pirate that makes em' crawl?
Captain' Brieny's is standing tall
And he'll give you cups such a brawl!

Captain Brineybeard
So, Cuphead gambled with the Devil, thought he'd win a hefty purse~
Mugman came along to help him, but then things, they just got WORSE!

Lil' Red & Brineybeard's Ship
Captain Briney's number one
He's the Pirate that get things done
He will pillage and kill for fun
And he'll put you cups on the run!

Captain Brineybeard
Ol' Captain Brineybeard's gonna fight ya Cups on broadside

Lil' Red & Brineybeard's Ship
Can't ya Cups see that you, STAND NO CHANCE! against a cow hide

Captain Brineybeard, (Lil' Red & Brineybeard's Ship)
INSIDE! it's our ship, it is time to play (YES SIR!)
I'm the one, with the dangerous play, (YES SIR!)

I ain't a Pirate to be trifled with, (YES SIR!)
YER FEATS AND LEGENDS THEY BE ALL BUT MYTHS! (YES SIR!)

(Instrumental Interlude: Base String Solo)

(Soon Cuphead and Mugman was blasting Brineybeard, with all their might with their magical projectiles, as Brineybeard only laughed it off. Giving out a big whistle, he a squid soon came out from the ocean deep with a small jar of ink as he shakes it crazily. Cuphead and Mugman dodged all they can as the ink flew across the docks. The Brineybeard Pirates only continued to sing.)

Captain Brineybeard
OH~OH!

(Interlude End)

Lil' Red & Brineybeard's Ship
Captain Briney, a Pirate oh so slimey
Wanted every corner~

He's the slickest, and he's the quickest
We'll tell ya Misters, trouble will blister

Captain Brineybeard (Overlapping)
Yer skill's a myth,
Yer death be swift
Ye know your, gonna get blasted, to sea you'll be casted

Lil' Red & Brineybeard's Ship
He's the bravest, truly the greatest
Nary a Pirate to top him~

A swashbuckler, the greatest adventurer...

Captain Brineybeard (Overlapping)
I'm the kingpin
This battle I'll win
I know that

Captain Brineybeard, Lil' Red, & Brineybeard's Ship
HE IS (I AM) TRULEY THE GRIMMEST OF THE GRIM!

Lil' Red & Brineybeard's Ship
Who's the greatest of them all?
Who's the Pirate that makes em' crawl
Captain' Brieny's standing tall
And he'll give you cups a brawl!

Captain Brineybeard
C'mon Cupheads, be the deadheads, fight the bravest of the seas

Captain Brineybeard, Lil' Red, & Brineybeard's
Comes and be tested, it's time to be rested, you're facing the bested of the seas!

Captain Brineybeard
Can't you see, I've hunted, and pillaged, the offerings of the world
I've seen sights, I've seen dangers no other Pirate would ever dare

I've truly seen everything, most EVERYTHING the world had hurled
The challenges, the trophy wins, if it's all for treasure, why should I care?

Brineybeard's Ship & (Lil' Red)
Captain Briney's got the mightiest crew, (We fight and strive~!)
The most loyal, the most WONDERFUL crew! (Fight for our lives~!)

Captain Brineybeard
With help from the Devil, I soon EXCELLED! With fishmen, folkmen under my spell!
We'll STRIVE to be the Pirate Kings, and fight and travel through BACK AND HELL!

Lil' Red & Brineybeard's Ship
Captain Briney's number one
He's the Pirate that get things done
He will pillage and kill for fun
And he'll put you cups on the run!

Captain Brineybeard &(Brineybeard's Ship)
SO RUN! (If ya can)
YOU'RE DONE! (Where ya stand)

Captain Brineybeard, Lil Red' & (Brineybeard's Ship)
YOU'RE DEAD! (Should've ran)
INSTEAD! (Poor Mugman)

Lil Red
We'll send ya flying out to sea

Lil' Red & Brineybeard's Ship
With cannons and guns we'll blast out thee

Captain Brineybeard
Ya see, between the cannons, and the galleon, and the water
Can't ya see, ya foolish cabin boys be gonna soon be slaughtered

Yer clashin' with swords at the likes of which
Ya never seen before that'll go off a hitch!

There ain't Pirate as fearful as me!
Soon, killin' ya off will give us some glee

For I'm the one and only Pirate King
Make it easy for ya Cupheads WE'LL BLAST YA BIG!

Cause, Cup and Mug, on the run, with our guns, on the sun, ye be done!

Captain Brineybeard, Lil' Red, & Brineybeard's Ship
Cup and Mug, on the run, with our guns, on the sun, ye be done!

(As the fighting Pirate vs Cupheads went on, The Baroness soon began to notice that Brineybeard's ship, not only stopped singing, but it began to shake and shiver. She also took notice of the creaking of large wood echoing throughout the field as Brineybeard and Lil' Red continued to sing.)

Captain Brineybeard & Lil' Red
You Cabin boys runnin' a foolish errand
You Cabin boys have been played for fools!

Captain Brineybeard
You Cups will flail, you will fail, no avail

Captain Brineybeard & Lil' Red
What you must, make a fuss, no avail, YOU WILL FAIL, AGAIN-

Brineybeard's Ship
ROOOOOOOOOAR!

(Suddenly, taking the Cupheads AND Baroness Von Bon-Bon by surprise, Brineybeard's gave out a bellowous roar, as he rose a bit higher transforming into an angry narwhal galleon. The sudden shake of the boat was enough for Lil' Red to hold on for dear life, yet...Brineybeard however was flung to the sea. Brineybeard's Ship soon sang in anger.)

Brineybeard's Ship
Come on now, CUPHEAD~ It's time we end this battle!
We'll wipe the floors with you, swab the deck with you, send you to the cattle!

You'll never win, and take the Captain's seal away
If we go down, then I'm goin' down fightin' TILL THE END OF DAYS!

Lil' Red
We ain't gonna settle down, we're gonna fight ya all
The Brineybeard Crew will NEVER be enthralled!

For Captain Briney, will draw our swords
We'll man the cannons, there's MUCH in stored!

Brineybeard's Ship
So come on down, ya landlubber Cups, we'll put this at an end, it'll be abrupt
The Brineybeard Galleon has now erupt, LET'S GO ALL OUT, WE'LL END YA PUPS!

(Soon coming up to surface with a splash, Captain Brineybeard soon watches the battle with his loyal crew taking a stand against Cuphead and Mugman. More commands from him shall now come forth as the drenched Pirate shall join in one last time.)

Captain Brineybeard, (Lil' Red & Brineybeard's Ship)
COME ON EVERYBODY, LET'S MAKE THEM PAY! HIS DEBT WITH THE DEVIL IS DUE (AYE-AYE!) TODAY!

Brineybeard's Ship (Overlapping)

Captain Brineybeard & (Lil' Red)
We'll show who's got the stuff, (FIGHT!)
NO WEAKNESS OR BLUFF!, (FIGHT~!)

Brineybeard's Ship (Overlapping)
Captain' Brieny's standing tall
And he'll give you cups ONE HELL OF A BRAWL!

Captain Brineybeard & (Brineybeard's Ship)
Cuphead gambled with the Devil, (GAMBLED WITH THE DEVIL~)

Lil' Red (Overlapping)
Captain Briney, a Pirate oh so slimey
He's the slickest, and he's the quickest

Brineybeard's Ship & Captain Brineybeard
Thought he'd win a hefty purse~

Lil' Red (Overlapping)
He's the bravest, truly the greatest
We'll tell ya Misters, trouble will blister

Brineybeard's Ship & (Captain Brineybeard)
Mugman came along to help him, (Kind ol' Muggy came an' helped him)

Lil' Red (Overlapping)

He's the bravest, truly the greatest

Brineybeard's Ship
BUT YOUR DAY'S JUST GETTIN' WORSE~

Captain Brineybeard
THAT'S BECAUSE...

Lil' Red (Overlapping)
HE'S THE GRIMMEST OF THE GRIM AND...

Captain Brineybeard, Lil' Red, & Brineybeard's Ship
WE'LL KILL YA FIRST!

BRINEYBEARD'S SHIP: BOOM!

(A cannon, soon blasted towards Cuphead and Mugman, finally tipping them down, but not before Cuphead shot out one last hit towards the Galleon's ubula. Soon...the Galleon has had enough.)

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

LIL' RED: NO!

(The Galleon soon rocked, and rocked in dizziness as it soon begins to sink down a bit into the shallow water. Soon, the galleon gave out one last cough. Brineybeard's ship coughed out a piece of paper as it flew aimlessly in the wind. Cuphead catches it.)

CUPHEAD: Your parchment sir!

MUGMAN: Way to go, Cuphead!

CUPHEAD: Still, I'd like to give credits to Brineybeard. He really gave us one heck of a brawl. Good show, buddy.

(Cuphead gives the Pirate a thumbs up as the Pirate only looked in confusion, until he soon blushed.)

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: (Smiling bashfully) D'ohhhhhh, it ain't nothin' boys!

MUGMAN: Golly so can you actually summon all sorts of sea creatures?

LIL' RED: Captain...? What are you...

(Brineybeard soon only winked at the green-haired Pirate. Cuphead and Mugman heeded no attention to it, whilst the Baroness only looked at the Pirates in concern. Something...doesn't feel right about this...)

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Well, one thing's for sure boys, I be impressed by yer fightin' skills, and yar, I can summon any sea animal and any sea life birds. If only I be so fortunate to have the lovely Cala Maria under my spell.

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Cala Maria?

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Aye, now that be a beast of a beauty. She be the most beautiful creature that swims the Inkwell seas...she be the apple in this Pirate's eyes...oh~ she be...perfect!

(Despite the fact that he was sinking, Brineybeard's Ship bubbled and groaned.)

BRINEYBEARD'S SHIP: Oh Brother...

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: It be her that inspired me to deal with the Devil so I can communicate with the sea life.

MUGMAN: So she can summon any sea life, just like you?

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Aye, lad. We both, now, can do THIS!

(Captain Brineybeard gave a great big puff and blows out a loud whistle, summoning another sea life. Suddenly, a seagull comes in to the sky and...)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: WHAAAAA!

(Cuphead soon notices from the dotted outlines, that the Baroness was suddenly out of his gloved hands. He soon looked up in fear to notice that the Seagull was carrying the Baroness sky-high by her hair.)

CUPHEAD: BON-BON!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: CUPHEAD, HELP!

(The two brothers looked in surprise at their dearest friend suddenly taken away by Brineybeard's pets. They soon glared at the Pirate as he looked in sadness.)

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Oops, my apologies boys, it seems that seagull had a knack for candy. It seems Bon-Bon was the first thing that caught its eyes.

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: CALL HIM OFF!

BRINEYBEARD'S SHIP: Captain Brineybeard's powers don't work like that.

CAPAIN BRINEYBEARD: Me whistle works when they be close! THAT seagull was mighty close to the Marina, boys! I can't call off somethin' that's so far away!

MUGMAN: W-WE'VE GOTTA CATCH IT, THEN!

CUPHEAD: Where's it going, Brineybeard?

(Brineybeard soon took out his scope to find the seagull carrying Baroness Von Bon-Bon. He soon notices that the seagull is flying through the Inkwell Pier.)

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: It be headin' for Inkwell Pier, boys! Ye can still catch up to it before it can get to its nest! On top of that, Cala Maria's just by there, at the distance in Inkwell Ocean, or the Pirate Graveyard ta be precise.

CUPHEAD: Got it!

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Thanks Captain Brineybeard!

(Quickly the Cup and Mug ran off Brineybeard's dock as they quickly ran through to their next lap of the journey, Inkwell Pier, on search for the seagull that has claimed Baroness Von Bon-Bon as its treat. Brineybeard soon took one last look at the Cup and Mug...before he smiled...mischievously.)

LIL' RED: Y-Yer gonna just let them salvage you soul contract, Captain?

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Aye.

(His ship...already knows what goes on.)

BRINEYBEARD'S SHIP: According to plan, Captain?

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Aye.

(Lil' Red looks at the Ship and the Captain of said ship in confusion...Brineybeard soon winked at the little girl dawning in red as she soon suddenly realizes...that Brineybeard already has a plan in mind.)

LIL' RED: Wait...what?

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Aye. Lil' Red, If'n you may, bring this letter to Rumor Honeybottoms back at the Hive Resort? Now, don't open it...JUST yet. It be a surprise for Rumor's eyes, and Rumor's eyes only.

(Soon, Brineybeard then gives the little pirate a small note. She grabbed it with her gloved hands, and she looked at it in confusion. She soon puts the envelope in her pocket.)

LIL' RED: Uh...Aye-Aye, Captain!

(Soon, Little Red hopped off the sunken boat and soon ran off to the opposite direction to where Cuphead and Mugman are heading, as she runs off of stage...leaving both Brineybeard and Brineybeard's Ship.)

BRINEYBEARD'S SHIP: Sooooo...the bird call was intentional, Captain?

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: HAH! OF COURSE! Everyone in the city knows that I have the control over ALL sea animals, no matter how far the distance! Those porcelain cabin boys fell for it, and are now headin' off to Inkwell Pier in search for their precious Baroness, until they get to the coast and fly to Inkwell Sea...where... (Sighing in swoon) the beloved beast...will FINISH THEM OFF, HAR-HAR!

BRINEYBEARD'S SHIP: I see...well...what do we do until then?

Perilous Piers
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Flotsam The Octopus, Kaptain Krustacean, & Chorus

(Brineybeard gives out a simple chuckle as...a piano begins to play.)

Captain Brineybeard
Plan B

Brineybeard's Ship
Plan B?

Captain Brineybeard
Plan B, SOME FRIENDS FROM SEA!

(Meanwhile, Cuphead and Mugman are soon journeying through Inkwell Pier...also known as the Perilous Piers, as the creatures around them begins to attack, and sing as they only shot their way whilst looking up high in the sky for the seagull carrying the Baroness.)

Chorus
Beyond the seas and beyond the waves the seafolk comes this way
Barnacles and blistering urchins, swarming around the bay

It's a sea of danger all around
It a tide of trouble all around
Through the treacherous, dangerous, perilous piers

Female Chorus
Throughout the Perilous Piers

Male Chorus
It's a sea life of the Crabby Clawsters
It's a sea life full of wonders

The Marine life filled with dangers
These piers ain't a place for strangers

Chorus
It's a sea of danger all around
It a tide of trouble all around
Through the treacherous, dangerous, perilous piers

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman made their way past the Crabby Clawsters, and through the docks where many ships are docked. Soon, swimming by them came a large lobster who only glared at the two cups.)

Kaptain Krustacean
Throughout the Perilous Piers

The Fishman Federation and Crustacean Nation will show ya damnation
The Fishman Federation and Crustacean Nation will show ya domination through the piers

The Fishman Federation and Crustacean Nation will show ya damnation
We'll show ya damnation through the Perilous Piers

Kaptain Krustacean & Chorus
Throughout the Perilous Piers

The Fishman Federation and Crustacean Nation will show ya damnation
The Fishman Federation and Crustacean Nation will show domination through the piers

The Fishman Federation and Crustacean Nation will show ya damnation
We'll show ya damnation through the Perilous Piers

Male Chorus
Throughout the Perilous Piers!

Female Chorus
It's a sea life of the Fishy Flyers
It's a sea life that'll take ya higher

The Marine life filled with dangers
These piers ain't a place for strangers

Chorus
It's a sea of danger all around
It a tide of trouble all around
Through the treacherous, dangerous, perilous piers!

Chorus
Throughout the Perilous Piers!

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman made their way past Kaptain Krustacean, and...suddenly noticed flotsam boards held by octopus tentacles. Unbeknownst as to what to expect next, Cuphead and Mugman hopped on each plank until they met with a smiling, friendly octopus known as Flotsam The Octopus.)

Flotsam The Octopus
Hop on my top, no need to flop, you're gonna see these docks through
Don't be afraid, a chance I gave, I'm a friendly octopus I could truly help you

Fishfolk, at bay, I'll swim away, worry not the coast is not far
I will help ya friends, help ya to the end, parry my jewel!

Shy Shrimps & Perilous Pearl Shooters
THERE THEY ARE!

(Immediately Cuphead parried the strange jewel atop the anchor atop the octopus. Flotsam shot out a cannonball, blasting away the stone in their path. Cuphead and Mugman soon got shooting as the Perilous Pearl Shooters, and Sky Shrimps soon got flying, and attacked the cups.)

Chorus
You can't escape, don't do go agape, we will sink ya to the sea so deep
Stay where you are, you won't go far, we will catch ya with a clean felt sweep

No need to fight, we've got more might we will put you Cupheads right out sight
You'll never get away, you'll never reach the bay

You will not escape from us be

Kaptain Krustacean & Chorus
Cause the Fishman Federation and Crustacean Nation will show ya damnation
The Fishman Federation and Crustacean Nation will show domination through the piers

The Fishman Federation and Crustacean Nation will show ya damnation
We'll show ya damnation for you spread frustration through Inkwell Isle

Kaptain Krustacean
AND ALSO THROUGH THE PIERS!

Kaptain Krustacean & Chorus
Cause the Fishman Federation and...

Flotsam The Octopus
Hop on my top, no need to flop, we're almost there!

Kaptain Krustacean & Chorus
The Fishman Federation and Crustacean Nation will show domination through the piers
The Fishman Federation and...

Flotsam The Octopus & (Chorus)
Fishfolk, at bay, I'll swim away, worry not
I will help ya friends, help ya to the end, CLOSER! (Fight for our friends, until the end, stop them!)

Chorus
Devil's little errand boys, Cala soon will break his toys!

(Finally, Flotsam reached the port the next part of the docks, Shipwreck Cove, where many destroyed ships and boats approach. The army of shrimps and Pearl Shooters ceased their fires as Cuphead and Mugman finally reached Shipwreck Cove.)

Flotsam The Octopus
We have made it friends, made it to the ends, I have sailed the way!

Flotsam The Octopus & Chorus
Through the treacherous, dangerous, risky, Perilous Piers!

CUPHEAD: Thank you...SOOOO MUCH, Mr...uhhhhh...

FLOTSAM THE OCTOPUS: Flotsam, and I'm pleased to help ya.

(Mugman soon looked up to find the seagull STILL flying with the Baroness' head. This time, to a greater body of ocean. Flotsam looked in fear at the ocean just across Shipwreck Cove.)

FLOTSAM THE OCTOPUS: This is as far as I can go, boys. I would like to help ya but...well...across there is Cala Maria's turf, a-and no sailor or fishfolk ever survive there.

MUGMAN: We've gotta get to Bon-Bon, somehow, Cup!

CUPHEAD: We'll have to get through by plane. Thanks again, Flotsam, but...we'll take it from here.

FLOTSAM THE OCTOPUS: No problem, Cuphead! I hope you'll be Ok. Stay safe!

(Flotsam soon sunk down to the bottom of the ocean leaving the two to progress what comes next.)

MUGMAN: Cala Maria, huh? Ain't that the mermaid that Brineybeard got his powers from?

CUPHEAD: He asked to command the fishfolk around here, because Cala Maria had those same powers. Right now, there's no other choice but to find and put a stop to Cala Maria, and find that seagull that took Bon-Bon, before something happens to her.

MUGMAN: Oh...the Baroness is made out of candy, ain't she?

CUPHEAD: (He soon grimaced at the remembrance of that.) WE'VE GOTTA GO NOW!

(Frantically, Cuphead took out his shrunken red plane, and waited for Mugman as the mug followed suit. The planes grew back to regular size. Cuphead and Mugman soon blasted off to the distance to their destination of Inkwell Ocean, as the sailed for the high seas as the curtain closes for the scene transition.)

---

(The curtain arises...not to the setting of the High Seas, but back in Inkwell City, specifically at the Hive Resort, to which is most likely Rumor's office. As Honeybottoms continued to do some paperwork, the Bobee Cop and Lil' Red entered the scene, gaining the Bee Queen's full attention.)

BOBEE: Your majesty, I found this miscreant roaming around the towers. I sent her to you, to ask what we shall do with her?

(Lil' Red showed no signs of nervous as Rumor only looked and smiled at the little pirate girl.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Stand down, officer. It's a charming little girl, a Pirate to be precise. I assume Captain Brineybeard sent you, little miss?

LIL' RED: Uhh...YEAH! I mean...AYE, Your Majesty. The Captain has been beaten by Cuphead and Mugman, but it seems to be apart of his plan...or something. Anyway, he sends me to give this letter to you.

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: I see...those miscreants know how to make a party, don't they? In any case, hand me the letter.

(Lil' Red comes forward with the letter. The Bee Queen took out her small glasses, as she reads out the letter.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: 'We have clashed swords with the nefarious Cuphead and Mugman, arr. That being said, the plan is now coming to play. The Baroness has been taken by my little seagull friend. He shall swirl around Inkwell Pier, and to Inkwell Ocean, where the Fishmen Federation and the Crustacean Nation will distract them, buying us time. If all else fails, the beloved Cala Maria will sink the guppies, while during the 'battle' the seagull will fly back to Inkwell City, to the rendezvous point...where we will give the TRAITOR her just desserts, while the Phantom Express' Pumpkimps and Spooks fan out to find the other debtors, so they can get theirs, too. We'll show those spineless guppies how to do things the Inkwell City way. Sincerely yours, Captain Brineybeard.'

BOBEE: Quite a complex plan, but what assuming those foolish cups survive the mermaid's wrath?

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Impossible. With men, Cala Maria will have her way. No doubt the boys will be mesmerized by her charms, to which they will be HOPELESS to even touch her, let alone stop her.

LIL' RED: Wowee...

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Dearest constable, make sure to find those little trinkets of the Phantom Express, so we can bring the other debtors as well.

BOBEE: At o...nce...?

(Soon, the Bobee cop, Lil' Red, and Rumor looked to see a ghost and a small pumpkin with wings flying up to the office, approaching the trio.)

BOBEE: OI! Who are you to come in here without permission?

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Settle down, constable, it's only the Phantom Express' lackeys. Tell me, where are those blasted debtors so we can begin the process of elimination?

PUMPKIMP: Well uh...we searched around Inkwell Glade and Inkwell Park...and well...

SPOOK: There are no signs of any of the debtors in Inkwell Glaaaaaaaaade...

(Everyone looked at the two frightful beings in confusion.)

BOBEE: No signs of ANY debtor in Inkwell Glade?

(The two beings only shook their heads no. Honeybottoms only scoffed.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Bah, perhaps you haven't even looked hard enough. Search again, and search the Park, I'm sure the spineless genie, dragon, bird, and clown are somewhere within the funfair.

SPOOK & PUMPKIMP: Yes, your majesty!

(The two spooky creatures then left the group.)

BOBEE: Well then, so much for the capturing of the debtors of Inkwells Glade and Park. What shall we do then, My Queen?

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: We simply get ready, Bobbe. (Turns to Lil' Red.) I recommend telling Brineybeard to meet with us in Jelly's Private Airship, where Dr. Kahl waits for us. We shall soon make that foolish Baroness pay for aiding the Devil's little brats.

LIL' RED: Aye-aye!

(Lil' Red soon runs off the stage leaving the Bobee Cop and Honeybottoms.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Constable, while the little pirate consults with Brineybeard, fly throughout Inkwell City and report to Werman, Stageplay, and the Phantom Express. Tell them we shall soon consult with...out candy-coated 'friend.'

BOBEE: At once.

(The Bobee cop bowed as he soon left the scene as well, leaving Rumor Honeybottoms alone.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Well, Cuphead and his pal Mugman, they like to roll the dice. By chance they came upon Devil's game, and my, they pay the price. Lucky for them...they aren't the only ones that will pay the prince, soon. Oh, foolish Baroness, for allying herself with the unsavory bunch...matters not. She shall soon atone for her alliance...with the Devil.

(Honeybottoms smirks as the curtain soon closes with her smirk, once again.)

---

(The curtain rises again, with Cuphead and Mugman riding their planes through the High Seas in search for not only the whereabouts of the seagull that has taken Baroness Von Bon-Bon, but their next debtor in the process, their third debtor to fight in their unpleasant time in Inkwell City: Cala Maria.)

High Sea Hi-Jinx
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Cuphead, Mugman, Cala Maria, & Chorus

(Soon, as they flew through the high seas, their eyes left the seagull as they soon noticed a bubbling coming up from the deep. Cuphead, and Mugman narrowed their eyes, as drums begin to beat. A challenge is coming up. They immediately know what must be done.)

CUPHEAD: Ready, Mugman?

MUGMAN: Ready as I'll ever be, bro!

(The two cups began to sing as they narrowed their eyes. Ambition is set high tonight.)

Cuphead
Nothing will stand in our way

Mugman
We will win this day

Cuphead & (Mugman)
Yeah we're gonna save her (We're gonna save her!)

Chorus, (Cuphead, & Mugman)
In the waves, (Let's watch and see...)
In the ocean, (Let's wait and see!)

(Soon arising from the sea itself came something huge. The boys got ready. Soon arising is...)

?: Yoo-hoo~

(A beautiful, purple-skinned, squid haired mermaid with beautiful shining opal pac-man eyes. Cuphead only looked in surprise...but Mugman...as if he saw a wonder. In fact...he looked...almost completely droned into looking at her. He was suddenly swirly-eyed, along did Cuphead in the process. Needless to say they were in awe.)

MUGMAN: S-she's...

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Beautiful~

Soprano & (Soprano & Alto Chorus)
She's Cala Maria (She's Cala Maria)

Tenor & (Tenor & Base Chorus)
She's Cala Maria (She's...)

Male Chorus, Cuphead, & Mugman
Cala Maria~

Mugman
Such a pretty angel, such opal gleaming eyes
She's a dream, a goddess, Cups sent high above the sky

Cuphead
Above the sky, She's a blissful diamond Mugs, she's a treasure from the deep
Why, if this is all a dream, I'll never, ever, sleep

Cala Maria
Oh golly, how sweet!

Mugman & (Male Chorus)
I'm telling ya she's such a beaut
None there ever was (There's none that ever was)

Cuphead & (Female Chorus)
A siren who coiled me to her cause (A vixen that coiled them to her cause)

Mugman & (Male Chorus)
She's a beaut, she's a precious thing
This ain't just a fantasy (Ain't a fantasy)

Mugman & Cuphead
I'm in love with Cala Marie!

Cala Maria
How sweet~

Cuphead & Mugman
WHAT?!

Cala Maria & (Cuphead)
Dearest Mugman, such a charmer, such shining pac-man eyes (HE'S GOT GOOFY EYES!)
You're the brightest of the bright, like a gleaming star that shines up high (BUT ME?!)

Cala Maria, Chorus, & (Mugman)
Dearest Cuphead, bold and loyal, a knight in glistening gold, (WHAT?!)
Bravest of the bravest cup, you really swoon this Mermaid's soul!

Cuphead
CALA STAY WITH ME!

Mugman
NO ME!
I assure you, I'll make ya happy

Cuphead
MUGS! back off This Mermaid's mine and you know it!

Mugman
You'll only sell her soul and you know it!

Cuphead
Harsh...

Cala Maria
That sounds bad!

Mugman
Indeed, Stick with me, and I won't make ya sad

Cuphead
I'm kinder, braver, I know I can show it, while Mugman has no balls to grow it.

Mugman
RUDE!

Cala Maria
It's been long, I've been so lonely, I'm been searching for my one and only
The kindest, sweetest, bravest, cup would be really give my heart a fill

Fish are oh so stingy, such a bore, pirates ghosts, they make me snore
My pair is somewhere out there, someone that can make me live at will

You Cupheads are handsome, oh so sweet, the kindest, and bravest to ever meet
Driving through the perilous Inkwell streets, so please oh please, let me offer a seat

Just one Cuphead, is all I need, the kindest, sweetest, firmest seed,
So Cuphead Mugman, please oh please, just one of you set my soul at ease, oh please~

Chorus
Cup and Mugman in her charms, a siren down in the high seas
Will the suitor be Cuphead?
Will the suitor be Mugman?

Mugman & Cuphead
It's me~

Chorus
Who's the Cuphead knight of the story, who is to win Marie's heart?
Who will win Marie's heart?

Cuphead, Mugman, & Chorus
(Who's) I will win Marie's heart!

Cuphead
CALA MARIE!
Your knight will guide you through the light~
Parry back, I'll attack with all my might!

Cala Maria & Chorus
The bravest of them all~

Mugman
NO, CALA MARIE!
With me, we'll never be apart~
I will care, this I swear, in my heart!

Chorus
The kindest of them all~

(At this point, Cuphead and Mugman were almost completely under the mermaid's hypnotizing swoon. Unbeknowst the two, Cala Maria only showed a smirk of mischief. They heeded their minds as Cuphead and Mugman were soon glaring daggers at each other.)

Cuphead
You won't stand in my way

Mugman
I will win her sway

Cuphead & (Mugman)
Yeah I'm gonna be with her (I'm gonna be with her!)

Chorus, (Cuphead, & Mugman)
In the waves, (She belongs with me...)
In the ocean, (For she loves me!)

Oh, the Cups are done for
Oh, the Cups are done for
For the Cups ARE HYPNOTIZED!

(Soon, the two began bursting into two parts as they began to fight each other. Cala Maria only looked in satisfactory as a few eels swam to her, giving her a wink. She herself also gave a wink, as Cuphead and Mugman only continued to argue with each other.)

Cuphead
Mugs, please you've got no chance, you've got no brains to dance this dance
I'm the bravest, coolest, kindest, Cuphead, Cala Maria will ever meet, she'll ever meet

Mugman (Overlapping)
Her hand, Cup, understand, Cup, she'll be mine!
Her hand, understand I'll take it, far from all your lying lies!

Chorus (Overlapping)
They're in her sway, catch of the day
They're in her sway, catch of the day

Cuphead
She adores me~ and me alone, my bro
And I have the power to make it so

Mugman (Overlapping)
Her eyes gazed at me first, just thinkin' about it makes me burst!
To think you have a chance is absurd, she's mine and mine alone my bro!

Cuphead
So buzz off Mugman, the young know their place, the older gets their way
The winner takes all in these great high seas, and Cala Marie is mine today!

Mugman (Overlapping)
This time I won't be shadowed off, by my arrogant brother who groans and scoffs
You think you're rough, and you've got the stuff, but Cala has no need for the tough!

Cuphead
So step off, and buzz off, cause she's a Princess, she's a goddess
I'm her knight, and I'm her servant, and you're nothin' but a broken cup thrown away!

Mugman (Overlapping)
You've gotta be gentle, gotta be patient, you however are greedy and impatient
And Cala she deserves nothing less, not a jockey, arrogant broken mess thrown away!

Chorus
Cup and Mugman in her charms, a siren swimming in the high seas
Will the suitor be Cuphead?
Will the suitor be Mugman?

Mugman & Cuphead
It's me~

Chorus
Who's the Cuphead knight of the story, who is to win Marie's heart?
Who will win Marie's heart?

Cuphead, Mugman, & Chorus
(Who's) I WILL WIN MARIE'S HEART!

(Unbeknownst to Cuphead and Mugman, as the Chorus continued to sing, Cala Maria quietly turned into...well no longer a beautiful mermaid, that's for sure. She's soon turned into a beautiful...yet ugly creature of the deep. She has turned into...Medusa, thanks to the help of her eel friends. Cuphead and Mugman are all too star struck to realize it.)

Cala Marie
Who will win a date with me?

Cuphead & Mugman
ME!

Cala Maria
Who will steal a kiss from me~

Cuphead & Mugman
ME! (ME~)

Cala Maria
Stay forever in the Inkwell Seas?

Cuphead & Mugman
ME!

Cala Maria
Will you say you'll even die for...

Cuphead, Mugman, & Cala Maria
ME!

Soprano & (Soprano & Alto Chorus)
She's Cala Maria (She's Cala Maria)

Tenor & (Tenor & Base Chorus)
She's Cala Maria (She's...)

Chorus
Cala Maria!

Cuphead & Mugman
ME!

BLAST!

(At that moment, Cala Maria fired a large green energy blast. Before Cuphead and Mugman could even react, the very blast suddenly turned the two cups into stone. Cuphead and Mugman were defeated by the so called Cala Maria...or at least turned into stone.)

CALA MARIA: AHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH!

EEL CHORUS: SSS-SSSS-SSSS-SSS-SSSSSSS!

(Before the boys could drop to the ocean, Cala Maria grabbed them both within her giant hands, as she grinned a sharp-teethed grin.)

CALA MARIA: Holy Mackerel...is this REALLY their effort? PATHETIC! Just like all men, those foolish glass furniture never stood a chance! HAHAHAHA! PATHETIC! Did you boys really think I would EVER love someone as impudent, weak, spineless, and arrogant, ignorant, and dunderheaded Cups like the two of you!? HA! Get real! No one has ever shown me REAL kindness, so why should I start? Nothing more than pettiness from all men, but it matters not hehe.

(Cala Maria soon laid the stoned Cupheads to a deserted island. To even taunt them even more, she laid down her very own soul contract in front of them.)

CALA MARIA: It's this you wanted, was it not boys? Ohhhh boo-hooo, why not take it? I'll even leave it here for you, boys? HAHAHA! You've cheated Death long enough. Now, let's see how you'll get outta this one! None of your 'friends' will be there to save you all the way out here, not like you have any left. After all...

(Cala Maria soon notices Brineybeard's seagull making its way back into town.)

CALA MARIA: You're only friend...will soon be standing trial for being an acolyte to the Devil's little servants. I think...I've got me an Airship to catch, boys. Have fun with my contract...too bad you can't lay eyes on it while you're in stone. Toodles~

(The mermaid soon sinks back into the deep...leaving the stone covered Cuphead and Mugman...they...have been defeated. The question is...does that mean Inkwell Isle...is lost? No applause...as the curtain closes...with Cuphead and Mugman...covered in stone.)

---

(The curtain soon rises back up. We soon cut back to Captain Brineybeard...watching the battle of Inkwell Shipwreck ending with Cala Maria turning Cuphead and Mugman into stone. He did his scope and placed it back in his pocket.)

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: YAHAR, SHE'S DONE IT! WE'VE WON THE BATTLE! That Devil NEVER stood a chance, HAR-HAR!

LIL' RED: She won?

BRINEYBEARD'S SHIP: That briny smellin' sea witch actually took those Cups down a peg?

(Brineybeard soon slapped his ship with the scope, as the Pirate only frowned at the galleon's statement, making the ship wince in pain.)

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Ye ain't got the right to call her that, MATEY! She's the true pearl of the Inkwell Seas, and she ain't anythin' less. Don't let me catch ya call her that again, or else ya meet with a broken figurehead, GOT IT?!

BRINEYBEARD'S SHIP: Yes, Captain...

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Good, now weigh anchor, TO THE AIRSHIP!

LIL' RED: (Straining) HUP!

(Lil' Red soon with all her strength weighed the ship's anchor, as the wind took Brineybeard's Ship through the seas nearing Inkwell City, as Brineybeard gave out a boisterous hardy chuckle as the curtain closes once again for the next scene transition.)

---

(The next scene transition took place...from Inkwell City...back to Inkwell Glade...more specifically, our old friend Elder Kettle's house. As the clock ticks, silence echoes the wooden household. As the old kettle rocks his rocking chair as it gives out a creek noise every move as he also began knitting through wool and thread. The old kettle looks back at the grandfather clock: 5:30 it reads. He also soon looks at the sky...it shows nothing more than yellow, and gold.)

ELDER KETTLE: Sunset...

(Elder Kettle could only grimace. The day is almost over...and even he feels that the battle is beginning...or if anything it could've ended. Elder Kettle can only hope that his dearest boys are safe, despite the sudden uneasy feeling.)

ELDER KETTLE: Cuphead...Mugman...please be ok...

(The kettle soon jumped when a sudden knock on the door was heard.)

ELDER KETTLE: Uh, come in!

(The door slowly opened. A figure entered the household of Elder Kettle...it was a female, golden...completely shivering in gold. Elder Kettle grimaced...and looked in surprise. He knew exactly who she is.)

ELDER KETTLE: YOU!

---

(The scene once again transitions BACK to Inkwell City, in a sky high view. The seagull is flying throughout Inkwell City carrying the Baroness' head. The Baroness could only grimace in fear as she looked back at the shorelines. No sign of Cuphead and Mugman...not at all.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Cuphead...Mugman...

SEAGULL: WAK!

(Surprising the Baroness, the Seagull soon flies down to the roof of the Hive Resort. The Baroness soon looked in confusion to see that there's something docked on the very top of the resort. It was a steampunk styled ship with a large hot air balloon as its sails...an airship.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: An...Airship?

(The seagull soon flew to a window of the Airship...and not the very deck. The window suddenly opened by itself, making the seagull hurl the Baroness inside.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: WOAH!

(Fortunately, Bon-Bon landed on a bed...Unfortunately...the seagull threw her in...what appears to be the Airship brig, judging by the bars in the center of the room. Bon-Bon hopped to the cell doors. She looked at the entire row of cells beside her...unfortunately no one is down here.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Hello? HELOOOOOOOO?

(No answers.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Not as...pleasant looking than the candied dungeons at home...

?: Howdy, ya came just in time!

(Soon approaching the Baroness in the dungeon cells was a yellow octopus like creature with periwinkle striped tentacles and with a strange antenna on its head. The yellow octopus was only smiling happily.)

?: I was just about to motion the Doctor to get ya, it's almost time for the trial!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: A...trial? Who are you, and what is trial you m-no no, better question is this: WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?

JELLY THE OCTOPUS: Oh, I'm Jelly the Octopus, ma'am! And uh...well, I've been told that there's gonna be a juicy trial goin' on...and...well I think you're the one in it. Somethin' about...turnin' traitor or somethin?'

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Traitor? They can't be serious! Can't they at least TRY to give the boys a chance?

JELLY THE OCTOPUS: (Shrugs casually) Beats me, Mr. Brineybeard wanted me to pose as your lawyer for the trial.

(The Baroness only looked at they yellow octopus skeptically.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Jelly...uhhhh...do you know how...to be a lawyer?

JELLY THE OCTOPUS: (Clueless) Nope! But I like helpin' out, so if you're not a bad person, then I'll be happy to prove my Captain wrong! You can count on me, Miss. Bon-Bon!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Chuckles nervously) Of...course I will, Jelly, hehe!

(Suddenly a dinging noise was heard, catching the Baroness and Jelly off guard. Jelly soon looked up his antenna, and it suddenly glowed a bright shining pink. The Baroness looked in confusion as the octopus began to shiver and shake.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: What's going on?

(Jelly soon opened his mouth, and extended his tongue revealing a clock simply resting on it. Jelly soon grabs it.)

JELLY THE OCTOPUS: Tick-Tock, I guess everyone's ready up there, Miss. Bon-Bon. Are YOU ready?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Sighs in defeat) Not like...I have any other choice.

JELLY THE OCTOPUS: Alrighty!

(Jelly soon took out from his pockets the jail keys. With a click, he unlocked the Baroness' cell, and grabbed her head and placed it on his top. The yellow octopus got moving...the time for retribution is at hand. The Baroness looked back at the jail cell with nothing more than worry in her eyes.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Fearfully whispers) Cuphead, Mugman, PLEASE...help me...

(With a slam of the main door, Jelly and the Baroness were out of the brig. Terrors will come for the Baroness...the curtain...soon lowers again. How will Bon-Bon...fare in this situation?)

Trial on the Airship
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Baroness Von Bon-Bon, Jelly the Octopus,
Bobee, Lil' Red & Brineybeard's Ship, Ghost Chorus, Dr. Kahl's Robot, Sheldon Showboat,
& The Debtors of Inkwell City

(Soon, the curtain rises up, back into the Airship. The Baroness was soon brought to, by Jelly as she soon notices the spotlights flashing on all the debtors as the music swelled up. First the spotlight shined on the Baroness and Jelly, the second spotlight shined down the jury consisting of the Spokes, Pumpkikps, Lil' Red, Brienybeard's Ship, Sheldon Showboat, and Dr. Kahl's Robot as the jury, the third spotlight shines down on Rumor Honeybottoms, Cala Maria, Werner Werman, Captain Brineybeard, Dr. Kahl, Sally Stageplay, and the Phantom Express. The last spotlight...shines down...on the Bobee Cop.)

BOBEE: Court is now in session! We now turn to article 1930 of the Trial of Inkwell Airship: The issue of the subject, Miss. Baroness Von Bon-Bon, Ex leader of Sugarland

BARONESS VON BON-BON: I still have intentions of coming back to my land!

BOBEE: ANYWAY! Baroness Von Bon-Bon stands here today for the crime of allying herself with Cuphead and Mugman: the Devil's little errand boys. Miss. Stageplay, your opening response.

(Sally Stageplay comes forward in front of everyone, and in front of Bon-Bon. She smirks...and then she sings.)

Sally Stageplay
Remember when all of us had the plan of killing off Cuphead where he stands?
Before his greedy little hands, sending our contracts to that vile man
Kill him where he stand, that was our great plan, but instead you ran~

DR. KAHL: ZE GIRL SHE IS RIGHT!

Dr. Kahl
For we had a plan to make him die, make zem fish food, torch zem, make zem fry
To kill zat foolish Cup in most painful excruciating, reasons why
For ze end was nigh, he was gonna fry, he was gonna die, tis ze reason why, he was GONNA DIE!

Phantom Express
He was gonna take us all away
Back to the Devil was where we'd stay
Don't forget why we strayed away
SO WE CAN LIVE ANOTHER DAY!

(Soon, the Baroness made her plea, before letting Jelly make it for her.)

Baroness Von Bon-Bon
That was at a kinder time, when I thought I was out of line
But PLEASE understand they mean no harm, they have such wits, they have such charms
They can beat the Devil, and free us all, we can soon live free than be enthralled

I know you hate me, hate my guts, but leave them out for they'll save our butts
They've showed me the light, they've showed me the sight, they've showed me they truly have the might
Believe in them, like the rest of us, they'll save Inkwell Isle, ALL FOR US!

Phantom Express
He was gonna take us all away
Back to the Devil was where we'd stay
Don't forget why we strayed away
SO WE CAN LIVE ANOTHER DAY!

(Soon, the Honey Queen took the stand and decided to silence the candy covered Baroness head. She also sang.)

Rumor Honeybottoms
Answer me one question free, just what will happen when they pay the fee?
Do you honestly think they have the choice, to set us debtors flyin' free?
You need eyes to see, that the contracts must go via Devil he.

Why~ do you have such faith in them?
They're the errand boys, and soon enough you know they'll be our ends
Such trivialities, biased statements, if that's your case then it's the prison we'll send.

The Debtors of Inkwell City & (Baroness Von Bon-Bon)
They are Devil boys, they're all but tricksters, (THEY'RE NOT!)
In the midst of trouble, it'll be thicker (IT WON'T!)

Trouble's brewing, and water's heatin' (I KNOW!)
And the only way to cool it's a beatin' (BUT WAIT!)

That's the way in Inkwell City
IT AIN'T A PLACE FOR THE WEAK AND THE PITY!

Werner Werman
Zis is var Mädchen stand up and fight it! Zese Cups must crack, even you can't deny it!
Vy so ready to easily trust, ze very Feinde, whose goal is to KILL us!
Ve of Inkvell City, shall fight zis fight, vithout your pity!

The Debtors of Inkwell Isle & (Baroness Von Bon-Bon)
It's clear those Cups are evil, it's you just lack a spine (No~ The boys, they're all but...)
Toys played by Dice and Devil, while our life is on the line (Toys~ they're kind, and sweet, and...)
Precious, fragile, meek and mine to crack and (Precious~ fun, and truly friends of mine~)

The Debtors of Inkwell City & Jury
That's the way of Inkwell City, the strongest will survive
The weak gets slaughtered, amidst the water, none will come alive
The holocaust is comin' soon, and you join the mutts that ensured our doom!

(Instrumental Interlude: Base Solo)

BOBEE: Hmm...Settle down, order, ORDER! It is clear that the prosecution has made their claim, quite firm. Now, Mr. Jelly the Octopus...you have the floor sir, defend her...if you can.

(Jelly soon slithered to the field as the Jury begins to spout names at the Baroness for her treasonous actions.)

Lil' Red
SPY!

Sheldon Showboat
MOLE!

Brineybeard's Ship
WENCH!

Pumpkimp & Spook
GHOST!

Bobee
The Devil's little helper.

(Bon-Bon, only shivered as a tentacle patted the poor girl. Jelly looked at the girl in care, as he...himself started to sing.)

(Interlude End)

Jelly The Octopus
Members, debtors, people of the jury
The cup and mug have tried their best to set things right you see,
Why not give them a chance, let's give them a shot, in the Devil's dance, they're our only shot!

(Immediately the antagonists lashed out at the octopus, but Jelly kept fighting for the Baroness.)

The Debtors of Inkwell City, Jury, & (Jelly the Octopus)
That's the way of Inkwell City, the strongest will survive
The weak gets slaughtered, amidst the water, none will come alive (They're tryin' to set us free~)
The holocaust is comin' soon, and you join the mutts that ensured our doom! (For you...and me~)

Phantom Express
There are no friends
In the city, wounds never mend
In the city you'll never fend
IT'LL BREAK YOU, YOU'LL NEVER BEND!

(Soon, the debtors and Jelly began clashing with each other.)

Debtors of Inkwell City
For we of Inkwell came with a plan of killing off Cuphead where he stands
Before his greedy little hands, reach our contracts, sending it to that man
That was our great plan, but instead you ran~

Jelly the Octopus (Overlapping)
Kind people of the court, no need to shout, need for retort
Everybody here, has friendships, partnerships ear to ear
They've been kind to her, and kind to us, so why oh why, why should we fear?

Rumor Honeybottoms
It's a foolish plea, we can all agree
She will not admit, she's align with it

While the Devil sits, with his vicious wits
In this deadly game, and the girl's been played

By the Mug and Cup, they will set her up
They will be our doom, they will be our tomb!

Baroness Von Bon-Bon, Jelly The Octopus, & (The Debtors of Inkwell City)
THEY'RE FRIENDS OF YOU AND ME, YA SEE (It's only you who can't see)
THEY CAN FREE (You're even deaf a pity) YOU AND ME! (It's a bothersome bee)
Just give them a chance, a choice?

Rumor Honeybottoms
No need. And as for you we've...

(As Cala Maria...silent this whole time, looking in boredom, not wanting to spoil the surprise for her, just yet the Debtors once again rebuttal and Bon-Bon and Jelly try their hardest to change their firm minds.)

Rumor Honeybottoms, (Baroness Von Bon-Bon, & Jelly The Octopus)
HAD ENOUGH, of this predictable, redundant, senseless game (IT'S NOT A GAME!)
LIFE IS ROUGH, and you've made it harder by joining this game (IT'S NOT A GAME!)
You aid the Devil, selling us, out to appease your childish, stupid... (IT'S NOT A...)

Baroness Von Bon-Bon & Rumor Honeybottoms
GAME~!

The Debtors of Inkwell City
It's a foolish plea, we can all agree
She will not admit, she's align with it

While the Devil sits, with his vicious wits
In this deadly game, and the girl's been played

By the Mug and Cup, they will set her up
They will be our doom, they will be our tomb!

Phantom Express
He was gonna take us all away
Back to the Devil was where we'd stay
Don't forget why we strayed away
SO WE CAN LIVE ANOTHER DAY!

Captain Brineybeard
King Dice and Devil will put us debtors on display,
Soon the weak will be culled, the strongest be pulled in the whirlwind of dismay
We've had our chance, there comes no savior, you, Cup, and Mug, be all but traitors!

T-Bone
The track's been set, the coal's been mined, and now our souls are on the line,
It's all because of Cuphead we're all here, and it's all because of you, cause ya show some FEAR
I dunno how life works in that castle, but here you've put us in a hassle!

Jelly the Octopus, (Jury, & The Debtors of Inkwell City)
If I may object...(YOU'VE DONE YOUR PART!)

Baroness Von Bon-Bon, (Jury, & The Debtors of Inkwell City)
PLEASE LISTEN TO ME! (YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!)

Jelly the Octopus, (Jury, & The Debtors of Inkwell City)
Uhh...if I may...(RIGHT FROM THE START!)

Baroness Von Bon-Bon, (Jury & The Debtors of Inkwell City)
GUY JUST LISTEN! (YOU MUST ATTONE!)

Bobee, (Jury & The Debtors of Inkwell City)
I find the defendant (YOU SHALL NOW BE...)

Bobee, Jury, & The Debtors of Inkwell City
GUILTY FOR SENDING US TO HELL~!

---

(The curtain rises back up. Darkness...in the stage. But soon...a single light flashed down on two individuals. Those individuals are...Cuphead...and Mugman, and the two boys alone. Cuphead only had his head lowered and his back turned as Mugman only looked at his brother in worry.)

MUGMAN: Wowee...we really got ourselves in a doosy this time. Complete stone, never thought something so beautiful would be so mean. Oh well, I'm sure we'll think up of some way to get out of here, right Cup?

(Cuphead only sighs...without looking back at his brother.)

CUPHEAD: So...this is it, huh? This whole mess started with me...and now, we're both going to die...because of me.

MUGMAN: Cup? It's only stone...I'm sure we c-

CUPHEAD: HOW, Mugs? We're far away from civilization...no one will come for us.

MUGMAN: Aww, Cup, you can't give up just because we're trapped in stone. We can get through this...I'm sure of it.

CUPHEAD: It's not only the stone, it's...EVERYTHING. I don't get you, Mugs...I don't understand WHY you're still following me, after all I've said to you in Cala Maria's fight, after all I've done to you when we were young, after coiling YOU...in this chaos that I started. Mugs...why don't you hate me?

(Mugman only looked in surprise at all Cuphead is saying to him.)

MUGMAN: Cuphead...c'mon, what are you saying?

CUPHEAD: Just leave me alone, Mugs...it's because of me we're in this mess, because of me we'll turn into stone, because of me we'll NEVER save Bon-Bon, BECAUSE OF ME THAT...we'll never free Inkwell Isle...from the Devil's clutches. We'll never get out of here, Mugs. It's over.

MUGMAN: Cup...

(Cuphead didn't respond back. He didn't even turn back. Mugman only smiled at the sadden Cup. He soon approached him, to comfort him. Mugman soon knew just what to do. He was now faced to face with the sadden cup, as Cuphead only looked in confusion.)

CUPHEAD: Mugs, what are you doing?

MUGMAN: Ima sing for you!

(Cuphead...soon looks at his brother in confusion.)

CUPHEAD: Sing?

MUGMAN: When I need cheerin' up, I'd always sing a song, to help me out. Maybe you know this one, buddy?

(Cuphead only looked in confusion at his brother, as he began to sing. A familiar song...he sang, that Cuphead definitely knew. The younger cup soon sings...reminiscing all the times he had with his big brother.)

Sweet Memories (Reprise)
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Mugman

Mugman
Cuphead, Cuphead, sweet as can be
Fills me with glee,
You truly complete this family

Cuphead, Cuphead, boy I was blessed
Sweet memories, sweet memories, you truly is the best

Cuphead, Cuphead, bravest of brave
Debtors you've saved
Such friendships, Cuphead you truly gave

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

(Piano Interlude)

CUPHEAD: Stealing my song? Thanks, Mugs...but...I don't think it'll help.

MUGMAN: Aww, c'mon, Cuppy, when in doubt, smile!

(Mugman soon turns Cuphead's frown...upside down, to which Cups reverted it back to a frown. The Cup only sighed.)

CUPHEAD: Mugman...why are you doing this? Even after all I've put you through, you still don't want to back down, or even yell at me?

MUGMAN: You asked why I don't hate you, before, Cups, and here's my response: I don't hate you...because no matter what happens, someone's gotta be there with you...to make you happy.

(Cuphead looked up in surprise. Tears...suddenly flew down his face, he was taken aback by what Mugman had just said. He said it again...Mugman actually said it again, after all these years.)

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

(Those very words echoes the tear flowing cup.)

CUPHEAD: A-After all these years...you...still do this to make me happy, Mugs? B-But what about YOU? Even you deserve happiness...after what I've put you through, in this duration of the journey. I...I even fought with you, when we were SUPPOSED to fight Cala Maria. All of that, and...you still want to make me happy?

MUGMAN: Of course! Like I said, Cup, I don't want anything in particular, and I'll never be mad at you. I could NEVER be. All I want, Cup...is for you to be happy. You, Elder Kettle, Bon-Bon, EVERYONE around me, deserves one big ol' smile.

CUPHEAD: (Tears began swelling up.) M-Mugman...I-I'm...I'M SO SORRY!

(Cuphead couldn't bare it. Mugman soon pulled the cup in for a great big hug in the darkness. Mugman only continued to sing to the Cup.)

(Interlude Ends)

Mugman
Cuphead, Cuphead, bravest of brave
Debtors you've saved
Such friendships, Cuphead you truly gave

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

(Mugman's song concludes...to which Cuphead was still letting out his tears...but most are quieter than before. Mugman only patted his poor ol' brother on the back.)

MUGMAN: There, there, Cup. I'm here, and we'll get outta here, soon. I swear.

CUPHEAD: *Sniff* *Sniff* I...don't quite know how we'll get past this one, Mugs, but...I'll believe you on this. I'm sure we'll get outta here.

MUGMAN: AND, we'll save the Baroness.

CUPHEAD: And, we'll save the Baroness.

MUGMAN: AND we'll show the Devil and King Dice what's what.

(Cuphead soon only smiled at his optimistic brother.)

CUPHEAD: Yeah...we will. (Cuphead soon only gave a frown. He only has one concern left.) I...only hope that the Baroness is ok, wherever the seagull took her.

CRACK!

(Cuphead and Mugman soon sprang into attention. Something happened, something...cracked.)

CRACK!

(Another crack was heard. Cuphead and Mugman only looked in surprise, something...no someone is trying to break through to the stone. The stone already seems like it's already close to cracking...one last crack, and it'll no doubt break all together.)

CRACK!

(Soon the lights suddenly flashed back, to the Inkwell High Seas scene. Cuphead and Mugman...they were free! However, someone had to be the cause...but who...could it be that saved their lives?)

?: GOLLY, YOU'RE OK!

(Cuphead and Mugman soon turned in happiness to see a familiar face smiling back at them.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: FLOTSAM!

FLOTSAM THE OCTOPUS: Oh good, golly, I was soooo scared! I'm so glad to see you boys alive and well!

MUGMAN: Boy, are we glad to see ya too, Flotsam!

CUPHEAD: Yeah, buddy, what made ya change your mind, to come here?

FLOTSAM THE OCTOPUS: Well...I was...a bit scared that you boys would make it to your doom, but what sort of friend to the end would I be, if I didn't come in for moral support? When I saw you turned to stone, and Cala Maria stopped, I had to do something, so I fired my cannonballs at ya to see if you'd be already. Boy, golly I'm so glad you are, and it looks like you boys defeated Cala too!

(Cuphead and Mugman only looked at the octopus in confusion.)

MUGMAN: Uh...we didn't beat her, Flotsam?

FLOTSAM THE OCTOPUS: Really? Because I thought you boys stopped her and grabbed her contract before turning into stone.

(Flotsam soon held in one of his tentacles what appears to be Cala Maria's soul contract.)

CUPHEAD: Her soul contract! She just...left it here...in front of us?

MUGMAN: Golly, maybe because she thought we couldn't beat her, and she just placed it there. Maybe it was a way to taunt us.

(Cuphead only scoffed.)

CUPHEAD: Pfffft, Cala was really so full of herself, huh?

MUGMAN: Speakin' of...if Cala isn't here...then where is she?

FLOTSAM THE OCTOPUS: Not quite sure, but I think her disappearance may have somethin' to do with that Airship docked at the top of the Hive Resort.

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Airship?

FLOTSAM THE OCTOPUS: Yeah, word came out throughout all of Inkwell City that there's some trial going on, hosted by Rumor Honeybottoms and all the baddies in Inkwell City. I've heard that it's just about to begin.

MUGMAN: Rumor Honeybottoms?

CUPHEAD: A trial...and all of the debtors in Inkwell City'll be there? (Cuphead soon gasped in realization.) Oh nooooo...that means they're gonna persecute the Baroness, doesn't it? Honeybottoms kept calling her traitor...so that means...

MUGMAN: THE BARONESS?! But what did SHE do wrong?!

CUPHEAD: I'm not sure, but if they're gonna persecute the Baroness, then we don't have a moment to lose. We've gotta get to the city, NOW!

(As the sun was beginning to set, and the light was shining down on Cuphead, the two brothers took their planes, and hovered up.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Flotsam, LEAD THE WAY!

FLOTSAM THE OCTOPUS: AYE-AYE!

(Soon as the curtain lowers down, once more, Cuphead, Mugman, and Flotsam got going through the high seas, and set off back into the City.)

---

(Meanwhile, the curtain rises back up with all the debtors on the Airship, clamoring at once, as Jelly only watched in worry, and Cala Maria only smiled. Soon, Cala Maria decided to stand from her place and made her way to the Baroness with a smug grin.)

CALA MARIA: Hahahaha...oh, you're so deluded, Baroness.

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Cala?

DR. KAHL: YOU DECIDE TO SPEAK NOW?!

CALA MARIA: Of course, I'm just taking in, how...funny this all is. It's truly funny how you're so engaged in an argument that truly has no need.

(Everyone except Brineybeard and his crew only looked at the mermaid in confusion.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: What are you talking about?

CALA MARIA: Oh, doll, don't you understand? Cuphead, Mugman, they're both DEAD.

(Everyone...of course, except Brineybeard, and his crew only looked at the mermaid in confuse, and bewilderment. The Baroness however, looked...in fear.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: W-What? But...it can't be true!

CALA MARIA: Bonny, sweatie, wake up and smell the freshwater, HAHAHAHAA! I've coiled them within my hypnotizing charms, and while those foolish boys were ogling, fighting over...lil' ol' me...I ZAPPED them! And turned them into stone, HAHAHHAHAHAHA!

(The Baroness was so well aware of Cala's power to do so. Despite that it's so...believable, she would deny it. Most of the debtors completely unaware of this, looked at Cala in intrigue. Dr. Khaul even claps.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: N-No...i-it can't be true...

CALA MARIA: The truth hurts doesn't it, sweetie?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: No, no, no, NO! I WON'T believe you! You're just trying to say that so I would give up hope! There's NO way Cuphead and Mugman would lose so easily to you! I WANT PROOF!

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Then how about an eyewitness?

(Everyone soon gave the floor to Captain Brineybeard. He and his crew were smirking mischievously at the group.)

SALLY STAGEPLAY: You SAW them turn to stone, too?

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Aye. With me scope, I was able to see the whole battle from the Marina! The beautiful~ mermaid's one this battle, Baroness! The sea dogs have been put down!

CALA MARIA: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(The Baroness was now at devastation of her eyewitness' testimony. She knows the feat of Cala Maria's power, could it be...that she truly won this battle? Did Cuphead and Mugman...actually meet their end?)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: I can't say I never doubted you, Cala, but it seems you've truly given those Cupheads their just DESSERT

(The Baroness was to devastated to do anything about Honeybottom's quip. Soon, all the debtors shadowed the poor bodiless Baroness, with grins amongst their faces.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: So...Bon-Bon, it seems you have no one left to defend for you. Any last words...before we skip right straight to the...execution?

(She soon says it as she motioned Werner Werman with blades whirring from his little soup can, tank.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Cuphead...Mugman...

?: HEY HONEYBOTTOMS!

(A familiar voice called out loud and clear. Soon, everyone looked up to see...a shocking surprise, especially to both the Baroness and Cala Maria. Familiar drums begins to strum. It was Cuphead and Mugman, flying...determinedly towards the Airship.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: BOYS!

CALA MARIA: (Hissing) WHAAAAAT!?

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: WHAT?!

CUPHEAD: HOW ABOUT WE SKIP THE FORMALITIES, AND THIS 'EXECUTION' BECAUSE WE'RE FREEIN' THE BARONESS FROM THIS TRIAL!

MUGMAN: YEAH!

(Many of the debtors INCLUDING Cala Maria were just...flabbergasted at the sight. Cuphead and Mugman, alive and well! Cala was the only one that took it hard, considering she was the one that turned them into stone. Seeing them out of their prison, is a surprise to only her. Bon-Bon only looked in bewilderment.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: T-they're ok...I can't believe it!

(Werner Werman soon turned to Cala Maria in agitation.)

WERNER WERMAN: VAT IS ZE MEANING OF ZIZ, CALA!

CALA MARIA: (Stammering) I-Uh...I..I just thought I-

CUPHEAD: Let's just say help comes in unexpected places, and we'll leave it at that. NOW THEM!

(Soon, Cuphead soon flashed, and suddenly emanated a golden glow, as he did during the fight with Rumor Honeybottoms, and he soon hopped off his plane and took to the Airship, where he quickly raced to catch the Baroness.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: DON'T JUST STAND THERE, STOP HIM! TURN HIM TO STONE AGAIN!

CUPHEAD: (Smirking widely) You won't catch me by surprise again, Cala.

(Quickly, Cuphead ran as fast as he could to the seat binding the Baroness. Cala only tried to blast Cuphead with her ray, turning him into stone...but to her surprise, it's not happening. Everyone was baffled at the fact that Cuphead's not turning into stone this time. Why, everyone on the Airship except for Jelly only tried to use all assortment of weapons and objects to catch Cuphead, but he's not getting hit at all. Why, it's almost as if...)

DR. KAHL: HE'S INVINCIBLE?!

CUPHEAD: A close snag, just like our battle, eh, Honeybottoms?

(Mugman soon hoisted Cuphead up with a rope, as they soon took to their escape. Rumor Honeybottoms...spoke not a word, no, she was only glaring at the two cups as her plan for vengeance has failed. Soon, Cuphead and Mugman were blasting off as fast as they could.)

MUGMAN: WHO-HOO, WE'VE GOT HER!

CUPHEAD: The pleasure's all mine, Honeybottoms, heh! CYA!

(All the debtors looked in surprise as Cuphead and Mugman escaped the Airship with the Baroness...without a hitch. Soon, most regained their composure.)

DR. KAHL: BAH! What are ve standing around for?! Cala, you and I can stop zem off zeir tracks so EASILY! VE CANNOT LET ZEM ESCAPE!

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: That's enough.

(Soon, the debtors looked towards the Bee Queen...the only one who's keeping her cool.)

SALLY STAGEPLAY: Enough? ENOUGH!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN ENOUGH!?

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Aye! Like the mad fool says, we CAN'T let those two brats get away! ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAD THE BARONESS IN OUR MIDST!

BOBEE: Enough, so says the Bee Queen.

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Hmm. Our plans for a trial has failed, Cuphead and Mugman has interfered. A pity indeed, but we cannot greave on this. We shall have to return to our regular scheduled program, post haste.

(Everyone only looked at Honeybottoms in confusion.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Brineybeard, Cala Maria, and I shall withdraw, since this trial has failed. I'm sure...the rest of you has some surprises to keep the foolish cups busy, right?

(All the debtors grumbled in both agreement and reluctant.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: So it seems that Cala Maria has failed.

CALA MARIA: YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SO HARSH ABOUT IT!

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: (Ignoring Cala Maria's remark) That's fine. It just means that we've a job to finish off. We've been so sidetracked upon getting our gloves on Baroness Von Bon-Bon, even I have TRULY gone off the deep edge. My grudge against traitors...well is a grudge you should not meet...However, despite the Baroness being our target, we've two toons that are our TOP priority.

DR. KAHL: Right...Mugman...

(Soon, all the debtors began to smile, finally realizing that they've got it all wrong.)

SALLY STAGEPLAY: And Cuphead!

(Soon, a familiar tune begins to play as the debtors finally realize their true intentions.)

Kill Off Cuphead (Reprise)
Lyrics by Random Encounter
Feat. The Debtors of Inkwell City

BLAZE BROTHER # 1: Yes...we've got it all wrong...

BLAZE BROTHER # 2: Our very contracts are at stake here!

WERNER WERMAN: Ja! It's not ze Baroness ve are killing off here...

THE DEBTORS OF INKWELL CITY: IT'S CUPHEAD!

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Excellent, now you're getting it. I'd love to give the Baroness a good STING, but forget her, for now. We'll never give her, her just desserts with Cuphead around. There's only one thing left for us to do.

THE DEBTORS OF INKWELL CITY: PUT A STOP TO CUPHEAD!

(Soon all the debtors final know what must be done...they soon begin to sing.)

Debtors of Inkwell City
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...

Captain Brineybeard & Cala Maria
Is coming due today!

Werner Werman & Dr. Kahl
Is coming due today!

Sally Stageplay & The Phantom Express
Is coming due today!

Everyone (Minus Rumor Honeybottoms)
IS COMING DUE TODAY!

Rumor Honeybottoms
Is coming due today...HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA!

(Soon, the curtain closes off with Honeybottoms giving a familiar malicious smile. It seems her plans have failed to catch Bon-Bon, but it matters not...not when Cuphead's around.)

---

(Meanwhile soaring throughout all of Inkwell City, Cuphead and Mugman were blissfully flying through the skies with Baroness Von Bon-Bon back in their side, once again. It was clear that they were quite overjoyed to see her, safe...well besides her body away from her head.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Cuphead...Mugman...thank you, for the save.

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Don't mention it!

(Still, something is bothering the Baroness. She soon speaks up.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: B-What happened? I thought Cala Maria turned you into stone? Did you escape or was it all just a lie?

CUPHEAD: Well...we DID turn into stone, that's for sure, but we've made a friend along the way to get you, and he was the one that saved our porcelain hindquarters.

MUGMAN: We've heard from ol' Flotsam about that 'trial' Honeybottoms was trying to hold, and we saw that Airship. Put two and two together, and here we are!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Heh, for that, I thank you both. (Frowns) I've...never had anyone to protect me to such an extent...not even my subjects would go the distance like this. Like all of us...they're...pretty native with the people of Inkwell City.

MUGMAN: The Inkwell City folk are pretty nasty.

CUPHEAD: And we've gotta face the nastiest, if we're gonna get our souls back, Mugs.

MUGMAN: RIGHT!

BARONESS VON BON-BON: You see what you're up against, now, right?

CUPHEAD: Yeah. We've seen the rest of the debtors, how they'll be in battle is a completely different beast. On top of that, it's clear that they don't want any help...which...kinda makes me feel bad, but that's...the way of Inkwell City...I guess.

(Cuphead frowns)

MUGMAN: Don't worry, Cup! Once we get this mess with the Devil straighten out, we'll have all the time in the world to help them, and the guys from Inkwell Glade!

CUPHEAD: Right...and we still need to find Hilda. We haven't passed her anywhere, so far.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: She'll turn up, soon I'm sure. Let's get down there, and...I'll see what I can do with the other debtors.

MUGMAN: But won't they just be mad at you, Bon-Bon?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Let them be mad at me. The basic fact here is that this CAN'T keep going on, anymore. Not like this, and not when he has them clutched in their pockets...I've gotta do SOMETHING for them. I'm not giving up on them, I WON'T give up on them.

(Cuphead and Mugman were amazed at the Bodiless Baroness' declaration. Whatever happened in the Airship really must've gotten her thinking that.)

CUPHEAD: That's...amazing Bon-Bon...

MUGMAN: Yeah..you've really been thinkin' about them, haven't you?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: They may see me as a traitor, but I still see them as friends. We're all captives of the Devil and all, but someone has to stand up for them. I guess it's gotta be me.

CUPHEAD: Don't forget us, Bon-Bon.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Smiling) Yeah...I won't forget, Cuphead...

(Cuphead gave Bon-Bon a thumbs up, and a great big smile. He and Mugman soon took the plane down to the streets. Suddenly to the Baroness' confusion, sparkles began to shower around her. She knows not of what they are, but she's starting to feel funny, unbeknowst to Cuphead and Mugman, who are just about to land down by the Hive Resort.)

CUPHEAD: Right then, let's make this right. It's time we take our stand towards the Devil and finish this f-

MUGMAN: CUPHEAD!

(Cuphead looks in confusion as he soon approaches his blue brother.)

CUPHEAD: What is it, Mugs?

MUGMAN: IT'S BON-BON! SHE'S GONE!

CUPHEAD: What?

(Cuphead and Mugman looked together on both planes, red and blue. To their surprise, and dismay, the Baroness wasn't on either of them. They looked around to see that Bon-Bon was...COMPLETELY gone from the scene. She's nowhere to be found!)

CUPHEAD: W-N-This can't be happening! This doesn't even make any sense! She was JUST here a second ago! Did she hobble off or something?

MUGMAN: I-I DON'T KNOW, BRO! I-I JUST SAW HER DISAPPEAR LIKE MAGIC!

CUPHEAD: Not good, I'm not sure if Honeybottoms has a glove in this...BUT WE'VE GOTTA FIND OUT!

(Soon Cuphead quickly rushed to the yellow doors. To his surprise, the door wasn't budging, much less opening. He tried to open the door frantically, and pulled the doorknob as hard as he could. It only stretched, and stretched, but it wasn't budging a bit. Soon, Cuphead released his grip, and was sent flying in front of Mugman.)

CUPHEAD: Locked...she must've locked us out so we wouldn't come in, again. The windows are too tall to even climb, so climbing through the windows is a big no-no.

MUGMAN: We've gotta try somewhere else then!

CUPHEAD: Alright, then we'll split up. Try that pink house, over there, odds are she might've went in there. I'll see if she's made her way to the other block. Ok?

MUGMAN: OK!

CUPHEAD: Ready?

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: BREAK!

(And so, the boys went off. Mugman went to the right side of the block, and Cuphead, the other side of the block. The curtains close once more, as the search for Baroness Von Bon-Bon begins...again...)

---

(As the applause cleared again, the curtain opens back with the Baroness...though she's in a completely different area. She sees nothing more than flames and red. She only looked in confusion, as she soon noticed that she was chained to the hair.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: W-HUH?! WHERE AM I!?

(She swung, and swung as hard as she could, and struggled to get out of her new prison, but it seems she's only hurting herself in the process. A pity...it seems that she's stuck in chains.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Sighs) I was just freed from ONE PLACE, now I'm a prisoner in...ANOTHER place! Where even am I...?

(She soon, finally realized that she's not alone. All her friends are with her...in chains. All the people from Inkwells Glade and Park are all here. Baroness only looked in surprise at the misery in everyone's faces.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Hilda? A-And...Djimmi, Beppi, Grim, and Wally?

DJIMMI, BEPPI, WALLY, & GRIM: Hi...

CAGNEY CARNATION: Wow, Ok, TOTALLY disregard us, why don't ya? Like...¿Estás jodidamente serio?

GOOPE LE GRANDE: You know I understood that, right?

DJIMMI THE GREAT: Yeahhhh...tone it down a bit?

CAGNEY CARNATION: PLEASE!

(The Baroness also realizes a few things that has happened to her friends. It seems Wally is still lacking feathers, and Grim...well...he's not a giant dragon anymore, it seems he's turned into a tiny little green dragon.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Grim...what happened to you?

GRIM MATCHSTICK: He reverted me back into my old form...before I made a deal with the Devil...

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Wait...you mean...? Ohhhhhh nooo...

(Bon-Bon soon grimaced as she soon realized just where it is she landed in...she was teleported...to Inkwell Hell. Soon, on cue, the Baroness glared in disgust as two familiar faces arrived on the scene.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Hissed) YOU!

KING DICE: Baroness Von Bon-Bon, our next debtor captured, hehe, I trust you're still a bit sower towards me, ain't ya?

BARONESS VON BON-BON: YOU LIED TO ME! I actually thought that you were someone special, you actually showed me happiness, something that I never found firsthand, BUT YOU USED ME AS ANOTHER PATRON FOR THE DEVIL!

KING DICE: Me? Now, now, now, I think you've got your words twisted here, Baroness. I'm under the impression that you made YOURSELF a patron for the Devil.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: How dare you...

KING DICE: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Did ya REEEEEEEALLY think that's how the world goes, Lil' Lady? I don't think so.

(Soon King Dice strayed away from the Baroness as he soon faced not only her, but ALL the chained debtors.)

KING DICE: Obviously ya'll are too childish to stick with the program. See, havin' your wishes come true, AIN'T a real thing. There's really no such thing as 'belivin' or 'wishin on a star' or stupid shit like that. In the real world, you get what you want, by workin' hard for it. Now...the Devil...however,

(Soon the Devil stepped up.)

DEVIL: Was soooooo kind and caring enough to give you BRATS...a much more easier way to get what you want. (Looks at Grim) make you stronger so you won't deal with those big bullies again because you can't do it yourself, (Looks at Cagney) make you stronger to eliminate the human race, somethin' that AIN'T possible, or even... (Looks at the Root Pack & Goope LeGrande) make you stronger for the heck of it!

PSYCARROT: Now, we didn't sell our souls for ourselves!

MOE-TATO: Yeah, we did it so we can protect Weepy,

WEEPY: A-a-and I signed so I can protect t-t-t-t-them...

DEVIL: What? Too chicken to do that yourselves, so you rely on ME?

MOE-TATO: (Agitated) WHY I OUGHTA!

DEVIL: BOTTOM LINE!

(The Devil's roar, was so horridly loud, it was enough to not only keep the debtors quiet, but to inflict fear into them...just the way he likes it.)

DEVIL: Man I love my job...ANYWAY Bottom line, it doesn't matter what stupid thing you did to make a deal with me, you've made a deal with me. Once you've signed your soul away, I expect you to hand them over. That's how it works, but it's clear that none of you gotten the memo.

KING DICE: So don't get sour with me just because I was doin' my job, Miss. Bon-Bon. YOU were the one that signed your soul, YOU were the one that decided to take the easy way out, I was just doin' my job.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: I don't have to believe the likes of you. You should've TOLD me that you're the Devil's little boot-licker before squealing off!

KING DICE: Straight up tellin' you that I'm the Devil's right hand man? Now that just wouldn't be practical, now would it? After all...you've gotten what you want, right? All of ya'll got what you've always wanted.

WALLY WARBLES: WITH THE PRICE OF OUR SOULS, WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT!

DEVIL: Yes...with the price of your souls. Something you should've paid me with, in the first place...but alas, you didn't. So now...I've got me a whole list of torture...for spoiled-rotten debtors, that try to squirm away...with me...hehehehehe...

(Many of the debtors gulped in fear.)

GRIM MATCHSTICK: W-W-W-w-wh-what...are you gonna do with us?

(King Dice and the Devil looked at each other with malicious grins, as they soon turned back to the debtors)

DEVIL: Well... We're gonna wait, until those two Cupfaces bring back the rest of the contracts. I can't say it's not so fun without a full house. Once everyone's back here...hahahahahhaha...OH we're gonna have one HELL of a time, HERE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

(Soon, as King Dice only smirked as the Devil cackled as his silhouette shadowed them, many of the shackled debtors shivered in fear...all...except of course, Goope, the Baroness, and Hilda as the curtain closes.)

Murine Corps
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Mugman, Werner Werman, Cuphead, & Chorus

(The curtain soon rises with Mugman, soon...strangely finding himself, in...what appears to be a mouse hole. The door closes behind him...as only one person was looking at the Mug, while cigarette smoke blew in front of his face.)

MUGMAN: (Coughing)

(Soon, as his eyes cleared up, he soon notices Werner Werman: no doubt a debtor that he and Cuphead did NOT catch yet. Werman appears to be in a tank made out of a soup can. Werner dived down in his tank, as Mugman approached him. A gloved hand soon stopped the Mug, as Werman immediately began to sing.)

Werner Werman
Not, so, fast, foolish Mugman
It is time ze soldier takes ze stand

Eins, zwei, drei, Foolish Mugman
I shall take ze stand for ze land

Mugman
Let me help, Werner Werman
I am here to help you this day

You have a debt, Werner Werman
And I'm here to collect it, to this day!

(Meanwhile as the battle between Werner Werman and Mugman ensued, Cuphead searched high and low throughout Inkwell City...all for one objective of his own. as he and the chorus sung.)

Cuphead & (Chorus)
Find the Baroness, (The Baroness)
The Baroness (The Baroness)
Find the Baroness (Find the Baroness)
Can't settle for anything less

Werner Werman & (Mugman)
Unless you'll fight zis var (Fight this war)

Or set all of Tintenfass free (WE WILL!)
Can't you see ve vill face ze fee unless...

Werner Werman, Mugman, & Chorus
I vill (Cuphead'll) set us free, you see

(Meanwhile as Mugman and Werner Werman, continued their battle, Cuphead searched every knick and every cranny as to any leads of where the Baroness could possibly be. To no avail, she's just...no where to be found, thus far.)

(Mugman, Chorus) & Cuphead
(Believe in Cuphead) WHERE COULD SHE BE?!
She's not in the trash bins, not in the taverns

(Mugman, Chorus) & Werner Werman
(Believe in Cuphead) HE'S JUST A SHEEP!
How could you trust him, he's our downfall~

(Mugman, Chorus) & Mugman
(Believe in Cuphead) HE'S IS THE KEY!
He's has a kind heart, he has the wisdom

Mugman & Chorus
HE COULD FREE US ALL!

Werner Werman & (Mugman)
He'll doom us all! (He'll save us all!)
He'll make us fall! (He'll save us all!)
He vill only stall! (He will save us all!)
And it's hopeless that you're enthralled

Mugman & (Chorus)
Enthralled cause he'll fight this war (Fight this war)
He's a coward no more (Coward no more)
He will fight this war (He will fight this war)
And I know what he's fighting for, he fights for you!

Mugman
Light will come this day! Dice and Devil we'll go away
No longer will we go astray, This we swear!

Werner Werman
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

Mugman & (Werner Werman)
Yeah, Light will come this day! (Uh-huh.)
Dice and Devil we'll go away (Oh please...)
No longer will we go astray (Blah, blah...)

Mugman
WE'VE JUST GOTTA BELIEVE~

(Chorus) & Cuphead
(Believe in Cuphead) WHERE COULD SHE BE?!
She's not in the trash bins, not in the taverns

(Mugman, Chorus,) & Werner Werman
(Believe in Cuphead) HE'S JUST A SHEEP!

(Mugman, Chorus,) & Mugman
(Believe in Cuphead) HE'S IS THE KEY!
He's has a kind heart, he has the wisdom

Mugman & Chorus

Werner Werman
Delusion, you foolish Mugman
You've no clue what comes in zis city

Mugman

It's a quest for mercy, not for pity

Let us protect you, Werner Werman
With your tank, we can stop the Devil he

Cuphead & (Chorus)
Find the Baroness (The Baroness)
Find the Baroness (The Baroness)
Find the Baroness (The Baroness)
Find the Baroness (The Baroness)

Find the Baroness (The Baroness)

Chorus & (Cuphead)
Find the Baroness (WHERE COULD SHE BE?!)

Mugman
Light will come this day! Dice and Devil we'll go away
No longer will we go astray, This we swear!

Werner Werman
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

(Despite the fact that Mugman isn't reaching Werner, he soon notices that Werner was preparing something, as a large firework was rising up from the tank. Though...it seems the hand holding it, is struggling.)

Mugman & (Werner Werman)
Yeah, Light will come this day! (Uh-huh.)
Dice and Devil we'll go away (Oh please...)
No longer will we go astray (Blah, blah...)
TRUST IN THIS PAIR! (THEN COME SAY YOUR P-ACK!)

BOOM!

(Soon, Werman's tank exploded, making the explosion destroy half the room, as razor sharp bottle caps were shown to come towards, Mugman. With Werman however, covered in soot, he continued his attack as what's left of his tank had some flaming cannons down below. Mugman notices the fire starting to rise from it.)

Werner Werman
Pathetic, deluded, Mugman, your brother's a danger, UNDERSTAND!
Get it in your zink glass, zat your brother's nothing but chaos and trouble

It's because of him, our time is grim, as ze hounds are chasing after us
In Invell City, you shall get no pity, WE WON'T BOW AND GROVEL!

Nein, not a chance, take a stance, ve shall never sit like dogs
Nein, no WAY, not zis day, hear ze groaning of ze cogs

Nein, can't you see, not for me, vill I bow to Cuphead
NEIN, NOT ZIS TIME, ALL ON LINE, YOU AND YOUR BROTHER SHALL BE DEAD!

Mugman

(Chorus) & Cuphead
(Believe in Cuphead) WHERE COULD SHE BE?!
She's not in the trash bins, not in the taverns

(Mugman, Chorus,) & Werner Werman
(Believe in Cuphead) HE'S JUST A SHEEP!
How could you trust him, he's our downfall~

(Mugman, Chorus,) & Mugman
(Believe in Cuphead) HE'S IS THE KEY!
He's has a kind heart, he has the wisdom

Mugman & Chorus

Cuphead & (Chorus)

Werner Werman & (Mugman)

Werner Werman

Your magic and bullets can't hurt me!
Your death is for certain you can see!
Obtaining your head shall give us some GLEE!

Mugman
BUT HE CAN SET US FREE~

(Chorus) & Cuphead
(Believe in Cuphead) WHERE COULD SHE BE?!
SHE'S NOT IN THE BUILDINGS, NOT IN THE MARINA!

(Mugman, Chorus,) & Werner Werman
(Believe in Cuphead) HE'S JUST A SHEEP!

(Mugman, Chorus,) & Mugman
(Believe in Cuphead) HE'S IS THE KEY!
He's has a kind heart, he has the wisdom

Mugman & Chorus
HE COULD FREE US ALL!

(Suddenly, taking the Cup by surprise, the cat that was watching the battle, began to jump, and swallowed Werman whole, breaking the remaining walls of the mouse hole, completely destroying it. Mugman, was surprise, as Cuphead was frantically singing to find the Baroness.)

Cuphead, (Tom Cat, & Chorus)
Find the Baroness (Meow...) (The Baroness)
Find the Baroness (Meow...) (The Baroness)
Find the Baroness (Meow...) (The Baroness)
Find the Baroness (Meow...) (The Baroness)

Find the Baroness (Meow...) (The Baroness)
Find the Baroness (Meow...) (The Baroness)
Find the Baroness (Meow...) (The Baroness)

Find the Baroness (Mew, mew, mew,) (The Baroness)
(mew, mew, mew, mew, MEOW!) FIND THE BARONESS! (THE BARONESS!)

(Mugman, regaining his composure, he now began to fight the cat...perhaps he can save Werner by freeing him from the cat's mouth. He began his fight as everyone began to sing, fighting for Werner Werman, and searching for the Baroness.)

Mugman & Chorus
I will help, Werner Werman
I am here to help him this day

Though he has a debt, Werner Werman
I am gonna save him, this day!

Cuphead (Overlapping)
Find the Baroness, where she be?
Find the Baroness, where could she be?
Find the Baroness, where could she be?
Find the Baroness, where could she be?

Tom Cat (Overlapping)
MEW-MEW-MEW-MEW-MEW-MEW-MEWWWWWWWWWWW
MEW-MEW-MEW MEW MEW MEW-MEW-MEW-MEW-MEWWWWWWWWWWWW-MEW!

Mugman & Chorus
I can help, Werner Werman
Hold the weight myself, if I must

Cuphead (Overlapping)
Not in the trash bins, not in the taverns
Not in the buildings, not in the Marina!

Tom Cat (Overlapping)
MEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-WWWWWWWWWWWWWW

(Cuphead), Mugman, & Chorus
(SHE COULD BE ANYWHERE IN...) FIGHT FOR HIM AND FOR

Cuphead, Mugman, & Chorus
ALL OF INKWELL!

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

MUGMAN: YES!

(Finally the battle was over, and Mugman was able to subdue the cat that ate Werner Werman. Soon Mugman's celebration was put short when suddenly, the cat's face unattached itself, and fell flat on the floor, in front of Mugman, making the young cup yelp in surprise.)

MUGMAN: GAH! Oh nononononono...no...no...nooo...?

(Mugman soon looked up to the cat's face in confusion. Seeing Werner Werman in some sort of cockpit inside the cat. Mugman soon approached the Tom Cat and banged his gloved hand on its leg. It was as solid as iron.)

MUGMAN: A...robot?

WERNER WERMAN: Mien greatest prize. If it meant confiscating mien soul for it, zen it vas vorth it.

MUGMAN: You bet your soul to the Devil...for this?

(Werner soon took out a cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke as he began to tell his story.)

WERNER WERMAN: Ze life of a rat...isn't a pretty one, Kaffee Becher. You may not know it, but zis house...vas once a mighty varzone. For centuries ve vermin have been fighting for domination of ze house...against ze high and mighty mice. Ve ver losing...greatly.

MUGMAN: What part did you play during the war?

(Werman soon got off his cat machine and soon looked to his war plaque.)

WERNER WERMAN: I vas ze chief strategist and technician. Mien creations, ze soup tanks, ze bubble gum sand traps, ze bottle cap blades, zey vere all mien creations...but sadly...zey veren't enough to topple ze tide of var.

MUGMAN: So that was when you met with King Dice...or the Devil.

WERNER WERMAN: King Dice. Holding out a cancer to our cause, a cat, he made a deal vith me. A veapon zat can ultimately place ze var in our favor, und evidently vin ze var. Zat...of course...costed me mien soul, but even so...it vas vorth it.

MUGMAN: You won?

WERNER WERMAN: Yes. Ze Tom Cat vas ze tide zat turned in our favor. Vith myself in ze control, Eins by Eins, ze mice were clawed, gouged, crushed...killed. Heh, sometimes you might vonder just who's in control? I was able to even chase off King Dice vith it, so I can keep zis trophy.

(Werner soon took a look at his broken machine.)

WERNER WERMAN: Mien tank, mien Tom Cat...they're all destroyed.

(Mugman soon lowered his head in guilt.)

MUGMAN: I'm sorry, Werner...

(Werner soon blew out another cloud from his cigarette.)

WERNER WERMAN: Maybe...it vas for ze best. All I've been doing...vat WE'VE been doing is zinking about ourselves. Reason vy we could kill off you, Cuphead, und ze Baroness. I know not of ze other debtors, but a var soldier fights for zeir country, not for zemselves. Und...Inkvell is my country.

MUGMAN: You might think me and Cuphead are fighting for ourselves, but believe me...we're fighting this war for you, for Bon-Bon, for everyone. We need your soul contract, Werner, it's the only way we could ever get close to the Devil.

(Werner soon looks at Mugman skeptically.)

WERNER WERMAN: Und vat...vill you do zen?

MUGMAN: See this war through and fight for our country. Isn't that what all soldiers do? (wink)

(Werner simply chuckled)

WERNER WERMAN: Nozing to lose...I suppose. If you truly do vish to fight zis var, zen by all means...surprise me.

(Werner soon took out his soul contract from his pocket and soon handed it to Mugman.)

WERNER WERMAN: Remember vat you're fighting for. Pass zat on to Cuphead.

MUGMAN: I will, Werner. And we won't forget. Thanks, Werner.

WERNER WERMAN: Jederzeit. I know zat ze Honey Queen won't be pleased vith me, once she learns about my...change of heart. Be on your guard, she und ze other debtors von't be as...easy to influence.

MUGMAN: Don't worry, we will.

(Mugman soon exits the door in the mouse hole...the entrance he came through as Werner only watched him as the door closes. The curtain soon closes as well, opening to the next scene transition.)

(The scene transitions this time to Cuphead's point of view. Traveling through Inkwell City on the search for the Baroness, he stumbled upon a path with tons of statues of silverware and dishes just like him and Mugman. Cuphead looks around this pathway in surprise.)

CUPHEAD: I know this place...isn't this...

---

(Flashback to a warm summer afternoon as young Cuphead and Mugman looks at all the silverware in the cabinet as Elder Kettle was preparing food. Elder Kettle soon looked at the two young cups in confusion as they only look in awe at the dishes.)

ELDER KETTLE: You boys seem quite fixated on the silverware throughout the room. Is there something you boys would like to talk about?

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Well...me and Mugman were thinking...

YOUNG MUGMAN: Yeah! I-I'm a mug, and Cuphead's a cup...a-and you're a kettle pot, right?

ELDER KETTLE: Yes?

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Well...we were wondering...are does that mean other dishes and cups talk like us? Is there a-a uhhhhh Dishhead?

YOUNG MUGMAN: Yeah, yeah, or..or...or a Potman?

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Or...or...maybe a uhhhhhh plateman?

YOUNG MUGMAN: Or Platewoman?

(Elder Kettle only chuckles as he shook his head.)

ELDER KETTLE: Boys...BOYS...come now, dishes, and plates don't talk like us. That would just be silly.

YOUNG MUGMAN: I guess he's right...

ELDER KETTLE: Well...I would be...IF I WAS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH!

(Cuphead and Mugman only looked at the old cup in confusion.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Huh?

ELDER KETTLE: I've...never told you this story boys, because I thought you'd be too young to understand, but...now I feel you boys are at the right age...for me to tell you the story...of the Kitchen Empire.

YOUNG CUPHEAD: The Kitchen Empire?

ELDER KETTLE: You see boys, we are the last...of what would appear to be a most thriving race of toons...the OLDEST race of toons in all Inkwell Isle. The Kitchen Empire house many of the famous silverware soldiers and dishware majestic. We...all were descendants of most legendary people in all Inkwell City.

YOUNG MUGMAN: Woah really?

(Cuphead started to look at Elder Kettle skeptically.)

YOUNG CUPHEAD: We're descendants of...legendary people? Are you sure you're not making all this up, Elder Kettle?

ELDER KETTLE: Ohhhhh far from it, Cuphead. There's more to it than you know, why your mother Cuphead...

YOUNG CUPHEAD: MOM!?

ELDER KETTLE: Of course. Why she was the bravest warrior in all the land. A legend to be reckoned with, boy.

YOUNG MUGMAN: Does this mean I have a mom?

ELDER KETTLE: But of course, Cuphead!

YOUNG CUPHEAD: Elder Kettle...do you know...what her name was? A-and where she was?

(Elder Kettle only sighs in sadness, realizing that he had to answer this question sooner or later.)

ELDER KETTLE: I'm afraid...I don't know much about her. She only entrusted me to you...before...

YOUNG CUPHEAD: B-Before what...?

ELDER KETTLE: Before the Mythos had their way.

YOUNG MUGMAN: The Mythos?

ELDER KETTLE: Mythical creatures that long invaded the Kitchen Empire. They've been a pest to the point where we needed the mightiest of warriors to dance the dance of death on the battlefield...I...was one of them.

YOUNG CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: YOU, Elder Kettle?

ELDER KETTLE: That's right. I was there when the Cup civilization formed. The King of the land Teapotimus, tasked me, his youngest guardsman to fight against the infernal Mythos. I was there...clashing with the music bringing satyrs, the flame bearing Wyrmlings, the sludge monsters, the Pyroheads...all of them. But...that was only the smallest part of the war. What happened next...was the very thing that made our civilization...a mystery to others.

YOUNG CUPHEAD: W-What happened?

ELDER KETTLE: One...fateful day...the Mythos towed to our land...the Cyclops. A hideous, ferocious beast with one eye that ravenged the land like no tomorrow. Thousands of the Kitchen Empire...died...that fateful day. Teapotimus...the soldiers...and...even...your mother Cuphead...

YOUNG CUPHEAD: N-No...

ELDER KETTLE: She entrusted the both of you in capable hands. Cuphead was given to me, and Mugman was given to a friend she most trusted, another brave soldier that goes by the name...Miss. Chalice.

YOUNG MUGMAN:What happened to Miss. Chalice?

ELDER KETTLE: (Lowered her head.) She didn't make it past the assault. She sent a friend dear to her to swoop in and take you, Mugman, while she, just like everyone else...had to suffer the fate of the Cyclops. She joined everyone...in death.

YOUNG CUPHEAD: W-what happened to the Kitchen Empire...after?

ELDER KETTLE: It's still an approachable place...but it is no longer called the Kitchen Empire. No, the Mythos changed that. It was now turned into a ruined civilization of a forgotten clan...better known as...

---

(Flashback end as Cuphead looks in awe.)

CUPHEAD: Inkwell Keep...so this is the place...where my mom died in...huh?

(Cuphead looks up as the sun was shining a bright orange on all the olden statues. A generation of cups...and they've all been destroyed. On top of that, there's no telling if the Mythos still roam around. There's only one way to find out...for despite all this insight...he still has one objective.)

CUPHEAD: I'll give those Mythos a piece of my mind as I go through here. For now...I've gotta find the Baroness.

(Cuphead soon progresses out of the entrance and to a mountain ridge...where goats appear to be waiting for him...or perhaps they're searching for something.)

CUPHEAD: HEY! What are you guys doing?

MOUNTAIN GOAT: EH?! A CUP!? I THOUGHT YA'LL DIED OFF ALREADY!

CUPHEAD: Uhhhh...

MOUNTAIN GOAT: Well...me and the boys know about this so called 'Kitchen Empire' and we're here to see if IT'S GOT SOME GOOD LOOT! HEHEHEHEHEHEH! Those Mythos don't scare us one bit! Now run along, kid, this place ain't safe for the likes of ya!

CUPHEAD: Sorry but uhh...I've gotta go this way. I'm looking for someone.

MOUNTAIN GOAT: WHAT Ya want passage? Alright, fine, kid. It's your funeral, heheeeee...

CUPHEAD: I can hold my weight just fine, guys don't worry. I'll let you go back to...whatever it is you're doing.

(Cuphead simply walked through the mountain goats as they only continued to mine for gold. Suddenly one of the goats realized something.)

MOUNTAIN GOAT 1: Wait a sec...wasn't that that Cuphead kid? That kid goin' around nabbin' people's soul contracts for the Devil?

MOUNTAIN GOAT 2: Yeah why?

MOUNTAIN GOAT 1: HOLY CRAP WHY'D YA LET HIM PASS?!

MOUNTAIN GOAT 2: CAUSE HE WAS GETTIN' IN OUR WAY IN DIGGIN' WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YA!

MOUNTAIN GOAT 1: DON'T YA GET IT?! The Mythos are there, if that Cuphead kid gets killed by the Mythos or the Cyclops, THEN THE DEVIL'LL BLAME US AND HE'LL COME HERE AND LYNCH US TA DEATH!

MOUNTAIN GOAT 2: OH CRAP YOU'RE RIGHT!

(In a panic the Mountain Goat called out his brothers to attack Cuphead.)

MOUNTAIN GOAT 1: GRAB THAT KID, ALIVE! DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY! IF HE GETS THROUGH US AND DIES, THE DEVIL WILL GRIND A NEW ASS FOR US!

MOUNTAIN GOATS: RIGHT!

Rugged Ridge
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Cuphead, Cyclops, Mythos, & Chorus

(Soon, the Mountain Goats were at motion as they went further into the mountain ridge in search to catch Cuphead, getting their fear for the Devil to get the better of them. Soon, the chorus chimes up.)

Chorus
You're almost there
You're almost there
You're almost there
You're almost...

At the finish line, race against the time
Just one final leap, through the Inkwell Keep

(Cuphead was now approaching a few mountain goats. Sighing he used his chaser shot deal with the goats quickly as he jumped through the balance scales of the mountain keep.)

Here in Inkwell Keep, the Mythos come and play
Here in Inkwell Keep, the Mythos come to cause some disarray

Here in Inkwell Keep, the Mythos come and play
It's a hell of a fight, the spots oh so tight in the pathways

Cuphead
There's no turning back!

Chorus
Here in Inkwell Keep, the Mythos come and dance
Here in Inkwell Keep, the garden lands the Mythos ever prance

Here in Inkwell Keep, the Mythos come and play
And it's a hell of a fight, and the spots are so tight
It's a hell of a prance, it's a hell of a dance to dance!

Soprano Chorus & (Mezzo Soprano Chorus)
To find the Baroness (you better move fast, prepare for times so grim)
To win the Devil's game (You better move fast, the race is still within)

Brother in arm, sound the alarm
Race to prevail, or all else fail

The race is on, the game is in, right now the only goal's to win

(Soon after going through the army of Mountain Goats, Cuphead finally made in to what appears to be a platform at the end of the mountain. Soon...the platform begins to shake, and finally slide down to the Garden of Heroes...statues memorializing the Kitchen Empire. However...as the platform goes down...the Mythos makes an appearance. Cuphead battles them.)

Cuphead
Gotta find the Baroness!

Soprano Chorus & (Mesa Soprano Chorus)
To find the Baroness (you better move fast, prepare for times so grim)
To win the Devil's game (You better move fast, the race is still within)

Chorus
Brother in arm, sound the alarm
Race to prevail, or all else fail

The race is on, the game is in, right now the only goal's to win

Cuphead
TOO much to think about here!

Chorus
Here in Inkwell Keep, you've gotta go big or go home
Here in Inkwell Keep, be a legend here, or fall to Mythos

Here in Inkwell Keep, you've gotta go big or go home
It's one hell of a fight, and someone's crashin' tonight here in the pathway

Cuphead
How WIIIIDE is the sky?

(Soon, finally evading all the Lil' Matchstick fireballs, Cuphead finally reached the bottom and to the Garden of Heroes, where MORE of the Mythos roam throughout the land.)

Mythos Chorus
You are in our keep, just give up now, you'll never be a hero
You are in our keep, just turn back now or face us Mythos

You are in our keep, you'll never best a bluff or curb a cliff, no way!
You are in our keep, we preserve the peaks, and all who come this way!

Male Chorus & (Female Chorus)
Through the cobblestones, up yonder the cathedral (The cathedral)
Through the cobblestones, he sees it all (He sees it all~)

Through the cobblestones, now comes the tabletops
It's time for the test, no time to rest, the Trial of Chalice, Cuphead can you best?

Cuphead
Yes?

(Cuphead finally races out of the garden, taking one last look at the statue of a chalice woman standing up high with a spear in her gloved hand. Cuphead does not know why...but there's something about her. Perhaps it's that Miss. Chalice, Elder Kettle talked about. Either way, he presses on into what appears to be a ruined castle. Aside from the many loose platforms, he could see the exit just on the other side.)

Mythos Chorus
Go~
Against the mythos~ if ya dare

Chorus
The Challenge of Courage

Mythos Chorus
We're quite a scare

Chorus
The Chalice of Courage

Mythos Chorus
So go forth.

Chorus & (Mythos Chorus)
Here in Inkwell Keep, there's trouble a brewin' (Trouble ensuin')
Here in Inkwell Keep, Brave if you dare (You'd best beware)

Here in Inkwell Keep, there's trouble a brewin' (Trouble ensuin')
Cuphead you must, prove that you're just, the path's not done, cause here he comes!

Cyclops
FEE-FI-FO-FUM!

(Finally Cuphead feared to look behind him, considering that the beast echoed it throughout the cathedral. Cuphead turned around, and in surprise comes a giant one-eyed beast towering him in the size of a sky scraper.)

Cuphead
Uh-oh...

Chorus
Gotta run!

(Cuphead started running, jumping small brick by small brick, realizing that hulking giant was behind him, destroying all the columns in his path, proving to Cuphead that there's truly no turning back now.)

Mythos Chrous
So make haste! Time you waste!
You don't stand a chance, the Cyclops will crush, and mash, and pound into paste!

So why run? So why try?
You don't stand a chance, it's clear the final descendant of the cups shall truly die!

Cyclops
Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum, I smell the blood of a Kitchen Cup
The Empire belongs to ME, no cup alive shall EVER ESCAPE THE KEEP!

Chorus & (Cuphead)
Here in Inkwell Keep, gotta race to the end of days~ (TILL THE END OF DAYS!)

Chorus & (Cyclops)
Here in Inkwell Keep, (THE LEGACY SHALL FINALLY BREAK!)

Chorus & (Cuphead)
Here in Inkwell Keep, gotta race to the end of days~ (TILL THE END!)

Cuphead & Chorus
It's a hell of a fight, and the spots are so tight
It's a hell of a prance, it's a hell of a dance to dance!

Soprano Chorus, (Alto Chorus, & Mezzo Soprano Chorus)
To find the Baroness (YOU'VE GOTTA RUN LIKE HELL, BEFORE THE CHIMING BELLS!)

Soprano Chorus, (Tenor Chorus & Base Chorus)
To win the Devil's game (Make haste to the other side!)

Chorus, (Mythos Chorus, & Cyclops)
To save all Inkwell Isle (SURVIVE IF YOU CAN~)

Chorus, & Mythos Chorus
Brother in arm, sound the alarm
Race to prevail, or all else fail

The race is on, the game is in, right now the only goal's to win

Cuphead
I know I've gotta win!

Chorus & Mythos Chorus
The race is on, the game is in, right now the only goal's to win

Cuphead
I know I've gotta win!

Chorus, Mythos Chorus, (& Cuphead)
The race (To run)
The game (To find)
The goal (To save)
To win (To win)

Mythos Chorus
Through the terrible, horrible, troublesome, bothersome,
Ruined and damaged construction of Inkwell Keep

Cyclops (Overlapping)
WACK-WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

(Soon, Cuphead, finally making it to the other side of the cathedral finally noticed the Cyclops tripping and falling...falling down into what appears to be a chasm nesting within the final steps.)

Chorus
O' Chalice of Courage!

CUPHEAD: I'll be back...when all of this is over...mom.

(Cuphead soon walks off stage proceeding to the next section, to where that strange place has taken him as the curtain closes and everyone applause.)

---

(Cuphead soon makes an appearance into what appears to be...a land mind of garbage...a junkyard, of sorts. He even sees a menacing laboratory in the background. It's clear that in this maze of garbage, it'll take ages to find the Baroness within all of it.)

CUPHEAD: Yeah...no. There's no way I'll be able to find her in all this junk. I'll need to go topside of this and find her by plane. Strange doing these plane runs without Mugman...or the Baroness...

(Cuphead soon took out his shining red plane and flew up throughout the pile...mountains of garbage and scrap metal.)

CUPHEAD: Hmm...

(Placing his goggles on, he couldn't find any traces of pink. Just...brown and grey...and...even the sky was clouded in a ominous crimson red cloud. This can't be a coincidence...something big is at work.)

CUPHEAD: Huh...what's with the sky?

?: It's my new cloud former, it sets ze stage of ze battle. Like it yes?

CUPHEAD: What bat-

?: ZIS BATTLE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(Turning around, Cuphead was ambushed by no doubt a familiar face. It was Dr. Kahl and his Robot...it's clear who's territory the cup fell into this time...a debtor's. Cuphead narrowed his eyes and readied his guns.)

Junkyard Jive
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Dr. Kahl, Dr. Kahl's Robot, & Chorus

DR. KAHL: I know vat you're looking for, Cuphead, und alas you von't find ze Baroness here.

(The music begins to pick up and Kahl's robot blinked his eyes in defensive mode.)

DR. KAHL: Ze only zing you found however...IS YOUR END!

(As Dr. Kahl entered the robot's head, and the robot sealed the lid shut, Kahl begins to sing.)

Dr. Kahl
Flying at ze fray, you'll meet disarray
Notzing more zan screams, vonce you soon face me

You vill not survive in zis Junkyard Jive
Prepare to be maimed, by ze Doctor's

Dr. Kahl & Chorus
Brawn and Brain!

Dr. Kahl's Robot

My beams and lasers will bring more~
It's amusing that you try, still you'll die

Dr. Kahl's Robot & (Chorus)
Strife~ (You will feel strife)
Extermination for your life~ (All for your life)
Such is the fate what you contrived~ (What you contrived)
Though Cuphead, I feel pity for you, you must face your doom

Dr. Kahl

You shall feel ze pain (Of his brawn and brains!)
You shall feel ze pain (Of his brawn and brains!)

You shall feel ze pain, YES! (Of his brawn and brains!)
You shall feel ze pain, (Right now it's time feel dismay!)

(Making the robot angry, Cuphead has destroyed the robot's vent, antenna, and chest compartment, making the robot blast out gears and cogs as if he was a cannon. Luckily for Cuphead, it came also the time Kahl's robot reveals his heart, no doubt his weakness.)

Dr. Kahl's Robot & (Dr. Kahl)
Anger seeping through my own gears, (CRUSH HIM! DESTROY HIM!)

(The robot fires the Kahl bombs)

Dr. Kahl's Robot & (Dr. Kahl)
Magnet program, he shall soon fear (TROUNCE HIM! PUMMEL HIM!)

Dr. Kahl's Robot
I shall turn this match around, Doctor, I will shoot him down

Dr. Kahl
Soon, dear Cuphead, you'll finally be CupDEAD!

(The Robot's heart finally springs out)

Dr. Kahl's Robot
Malfunction, Malfunction, MALFUNCTION! Weakness has been found!

Dr. Kahl
Face it boy, it's only DOOM you've been LE-EA-AD!

(The Robot slumps down, and its head finally flies out with Kahl's and the chorus singing as Kahl's robot's head flies around the Junkyard as Cuphead tried to fight him off as much as he could.)

Dr. Kahl's Robot (Overlapping)
OWWWOWOWOWOW~

Dr. Kahl & Chorus
Flying at (the) ze fray, you'll meet disarray

Dr. Kahl

For I am Dr. Kahl, ze greatest mind, in ze land, undoubtedly my creations REIN SUPREME~

Can't you see it's a tragic, zat science ALWAYS shine for me

Und I've ze equation, to hinder your evasion

Dr. Kahl's Robot & Chorus
Flying at the fray, you'll meet disarray
Nothing more than grim, once you soon face him

You will not survive, in this Junkyard Jive
Prepare to be maimed, by the doctor's...

(Breaks were heard hitting. Cuphead soon notices the robot head stops spinning and is now Kahl reveals himself taking the control as if the robot head was now a small little pod.)

Chorus
Brawn and brain, meet dismay
No need for cause

Chorus & Dr. Kahl
ALL BECAUSE...

(Immediately Dr. Kahl activates the Robot's mouth revealing a shining blue crystal. The crystal is starting to project out radioactive particles, flying around the Junkyard as Dr. Kahl continues to sing.)

Dr. Kahl
In zis game! Und at ze fray!
You'll meet pain! Und Disarray!

You've made ze deal! It's all too late!
You can't repeal, SO ACCEPT YOUR FATE!

Chorus & Dr. Kahl
But wait there's more~ (Soar~)

Dr. Kahl

Nothing more than grim, once you soon face him (Oh, I'll bring pain~)

You will not survive, in this Junkyard Jive (I'LL HAVE FAME!)

Dr. Kahl's Robot & (Chorus)
Prepare to be maimed, (By the greatest mind and his...) by the doctor's...

Dr. Kahl's Robot, Dr. Kahl, & Chorus
BRAWN AND BRAIN!

(Instrumental Interlude: Xylophone & Saxophone solo)

Dr. Kahl
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

(The battle throughout the Junkyard is going at high chase as radioactive projectiles, red and blue, and electricity walls float and fly throughout the landscape as Cuphead flew for dear life, while Dr. Kahl's cackles echoes the junkyard.)

(Interlude End)

Dr. Kahl's Robot, Male Chorus & (Female Chorus)
Flying at the fray, you'll meet disarray (IN THIS GAME!)
Nothing more than grim, once you soon face him (He'll bring the pain~)

You will not survive, in this Junkyard Jive (HE'LL HAVE FAME!)

Dr. Kahl's Robot
Malfunction, malfunction, malfunction, MALFUNCTION!

Chorus
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~!

Announcer (Overlapping)
KNOCKOUT!

(With a big bang, the explosion made by Kahl's robot was enough to make the old man surrender, considering the fact that the explosion blew his clothing off, as the robot was blissfully floating down, and down, to ground level. Cuphead zoomed down to ground level to collect Kahl's contract. Soon flying down along with the explosion was a paper, blissfully floating. Cuphead grabs it...no doubt was Kahl's contract...)

CUPHEAD: Wait...what?

(Only to find that it the robot's contract...but not Dr. Kahl's contract himself. Cuphead looks at the naked doctor in confusion.)

CUPHEAD: Uhh...where's y-

DR. KAHL: I don't have one, you twit. Is vas mien robot zat made ze deal vith ze Devil. I vas short on plutonium to power him, mien creation SOMEHOW wandered to ze Devil's casino, UND HE BET HIS SOUL FOR TOONTONIUM!

CUPHEAD: Wait...sooo...the robot sold his soul...just to help you power him?

DR. KAHL: Seems like a crime, does it not?

CUPHEAD: Actually, that seems more like generosity than a crime...But...why did you drive the Devil away? On that topic, why did you drive ME away?

DR. KAHL: YOU CRAZY?! YOU ZINK I WOULD JUST GIVE AWAY FREE TOONTONIUM TO ZAT ROTTEN GOAT!?

(Cuphead soon looks down to Kahl's destroyed robot.)

CUPHEAD: Is...there a way to revive him, Doctor?

DR. KAHL: Beats me. I can remake him easily, just look here, zis Junkyard has all the necessities needed to rebuild mien robot. However, our battle was enough to drain mien creation of Toontonium, reason vy you had such an easy vin. If not...I COULD'VE BLASTED YOU INTO SMITHEREENS HAHAHAHAHAHA!

CUPHEAD: (Dotted eyes) ...Oh.

DR. KAHL: Now zen, ze matter of reviving mien robot. I can rebuild him easily, ze problem is zat ze power source is drained, and Toontonium is so rare in Inkvell Isle. Only ze Devil himself has but a few more enough to power mien robot. But zere's no vay in Inkvell HELL shall I face him just for Toontonium, HE'LL RIP ME APART!

CUPHEAD: I'm confused...Doctor...I just realized something.

DR. KAHL: Vat is it zat you're minuscule milk curd brain POSSIBLY can't comprehend?

CUPHEAD: I mean...if you wanted a power source, Doctor, why couldn't you ask the other debtors around the city? I mean...surely Rumor Honeybottoms could secure something for you with her m-

DR. KAHL: DON'T SAY IT! I vould not DARE resort to ze usage of MAGIC! I am a Scientist! I am ABOVE ze cowardice of magic users such as Honeybottoms. I absolutely DESPISE her out of all of zem. Ze only reason I ever decided to agree vith her is one zing: zat you und ze Baroness needs to be taken down a peg. But, now zat ze Baroness disappeared into thin air, und I've been shamed by my defeat from you, my obligations vith zat HORRID Bee Queen und her Bee Kingdom shall now end. Vithout further ado, you may exit to the stage to your left, und leave me in peace.

(Cuphead soon lowered his head, and soon looked back at Dr. Kahl with a smirk.)

CUPHEAD: Hey Kahl...

DR. KAHL: VAT DO YOU VANT NOW?!

CUPHEAD: You want some Toontonium? I'll get you some Toontonium.

DR. KAHL: (Rolling his eyes) Right, right, and I'll bet you ze next thing you'll say is you'll defeat ze Devil, too?

CUPHEAD: Yep!

DR. KAHL: I VAS BEING SARCASTIC, YOU TWIT!

CUPHEAD: Sarcasm or not, you're free to disagree with me on my claim, or not, but rest assure, I'll find away to get me, Mugman, and EVERYONE out of this...somehow.

DR. KAHL: YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW YOU'RE GONNA SAVE EVERYONE?!

CUPHEAD: Nope! But now...I have the confidence. Mugs and I will find a way, don't you worry.

(Cuphead soon gives the mad scientist a thumbs up as Kahl only rolled his eyes.)

DR. KAHL: Fine, fine, I've nothing better to do, so I'll be zhe one to 'play along' like the rest of ze ozer debtors in Inkvell Isle. But if you die, don't zink your ghosts can come to me, begging for restoration. I'm no Frankenstien.

CUPHEAD: Duly noted.

DR. KAHL: Now out vith you und leave me in peace, already! I've vork to do.

CUPHEAD: Right, at least, Kahl...you're the only debtor in Inkwell City...that actually gave me a chance.

(Kahl only rolled his eyes as Cuphead took off to the other side of the junkyard, seeing an exit back into Inkwell City. Despite all that, Cuphead seems to have something buzzing in his mind.)

CUPHEAD: The Baroness...disappearing into thin air? Even he knows about it...ohhhh...I hope wherever she is, she'll be safe.

(Cuphead soon, pondering much, exited the scene as the curtain closes as the scene transitions as the audience claps.)

---

(Transitioning back to Inkwell City, we return to Mugman's point of view. No sign of the Baroness on his end, unfortunately, he soon took the path up out of Werman's house and approached Inkwell Theater. He knows his business here as he took out the Devil's scroll. He nodded his head...and immediately went in the theater seeing what appears to be a wedding going on.)

POPE: And do you, Sheldon Showboat take Miss Sally Stageplay...or should I say, Mrs. Sally Stageplay to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, till death do us part?

SHELDON SHOWBOAT: I do.

POPE: And do you Sally Stageplay, take Mr. Sheldon Showboat to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health to...yada yada yada...I'm not paid overtime to do the entire thing, just say I do.

SALLY STAGEPLAY: I do!

POPE: Then, I hereby now pronounce you husband and wife. May you beloveds live another hundred years...in Inkwell Isle. If there are any objections, speak now and forever hold your peace.

(Just when Sally and Sheldon was about to hitch it off, Sally soon spotted something in the corner of her eye. Mugman seated by the top row. She glared at him like daggers, and soon pushed Sheldon out of the way.

SALLY STAGEPLAY: CUT! Cut, cut, CUT!

(Sally's outburst suddenly gained everyone's attention, as both the Pope and Sheldon looked at her in confusion.)

SHELDON SHOWBOAT: Aheh...uhhh...Sally...dearest...(whispered) now's probably not the time to stop the play...

SALLY STAGEPLAY: Ah but now's a perfect time to do it. For you see...WE'VE AN UNINVITED GUEST HERE, MUGMAN!

(The spotlight soon flashed down on Mugman, as everyone suddenly darted away from him in surprise.)

WOMAN #1: GOLLY! I-It's Mugman! T-T-THE ERRAND BOY'S HELPER!

MAN # 1: The Errand boy?! Y-YOU DON'T MEAN CUPHEAD DO YOU?!

WOMAN # 2: That's them alright. The Devil's little errand boy!

POPE: Th-the errand boys! Here?! ALREADY?!

MAN # 2: Th-they only come for those who made a deal with the Devil! B-but that's impossible! W-who made a deal with him, here of all places?

POPE: I'm not sure. What do you think, Sally? Sally?

(Sheldon soon turned to Sally who only frowned at Mugman)

SHELDON SHOWBOAT: (Whispered) What are you going to do? They're too out of your league, Sally, there's no way to outmatch them!

SALLY STAGEPLAY: It's only Mugman, Shelly, where's your sense of courage? Besides...the show MUST go on, am I right, Mugman? Everyone?

(She tore off her wedding dress, revealing a turquoise dress with boots the same color, and pristine white rubber gloves. She soon took out a shining red parasol as Mugman went on his guard.)

MUGMAN: Sally...I don't want to fight you.

SALLY STAGEPLAY: Ohhhh boo-hoo, well it's clear your brother started this fight, so why should YOU stay behind the curtains? Clearly you're here to take my contract, fight the Devil, and you and your brother turn into the stars of the show aren't you?

MUGMAN: I only wanna make a compromise, Sally! We all want to compromise. We've learned our lesson with meddling with the affairs of the Devil. We're gonna set things right, not only for the both of us, but for everyone.

SHELDON SHOWBOAT: Come now, you really expect us to believe you, Mugs? I admit you're the kindest and all, but please we know acting when we see it.

SALLY STAGEPLAY: If you REALLY think you can 'set things right' then how about you prove it?

MUGMAN: Heh?

SALLY STAGEPLAY: UGHHHHHH! Do I have to spell it out for you, Mugs? The only way we'll see your intentions...is through an ol' fashion bout.

SALLY STAGEPLAY & SHELDON SHOWBOAT: HERE ON STAGE!

(The crowd grumbled both in concern and amusement as it's clear that Sally and Sheldon challenged Mugman to a battle. Nervously, Mugman walked down the isle to the stage as everyone took watch of him. The curtain soon rises up to the chapel scene.)

Dramatic Fanatic
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Sally Stageplay, Sheldon Showboat, Mugman, & Chorus

SALLY STAGEPLAY: HEHE! That's more like it. Now then...let's see if you really are the angel everyone believes you are, Muggy boy.

SHELDON SHOWBOAT: There's only room for one angel in this theater and that's her!

(Sally placed her parasol down as if it was a cane as everything went dark and the spotlight shined down on her. She snapped her fingers and...)

SALLY STAGEPLAY: 1, 2, 3, 4!

(Immediately the music begins to play, and Sally Stageplay's parasol was given to Sheldon as it was replaced with a cane as she begins to both tapdance and sing.)

Sally Stageplay
Sally Stageplay, Sally Stageplay
Sally Stageplay, I'm SALLY STAGEPLAY!

The spotlight now shines, and now you stand forth towards

Sheldon Showboat
Sally Stageplay!

Sally Stageplay
The curtain's arises, now you it's just you and ME!

Pope
Sally Stageplay!

Mugman
Sally Stageplay~

Sally Stageplay
So break a leg or limb or two or more!

Mugman
The Tremendous Stageplay~

Sally Stageplay
Dear Mugman, a star will has LOTS in stored!

It's time to sing!
It's time to dance!
It's time to act!
It's time to...

Sally Stageplay & Sheldon Showboat
SHOW THIS FOOLISH MUGMAN THE FACT!

Sally Stageplay & (Mugman)
Why have a say, the Devil's game you played and...you are now the PAWNS~
Nevertheless, who would've guest, you Cups played on (But we've seen the error of our ways!)

Our life's at risk, because you Cups insisted, to fight us all through DAWN~
We'll attack, strike you back, the game goes on (YES I understand, but...)

(The spotlight shines down on Mugman)

Mugman
Naive and young we were, but we're naive and young no more
We've journeyed through hell and back, noticing through attacks, you debtors have stories hidden behind doors

Sally Stageplay
Why do you care, oh why would you da-are, go behind those DOORS~
That's your ploy, little toy, to settle the score!

Mugman
NO!

(The curtain close and Sally and Sheldon escape in a wedding car. With applause heard, the newlyweds returned as the curtain opens back up with the scene appearing to be...a house. Sally soon smirked to see a certain thing that could be in her favor. She soon notices Cuphead, himself, silently entering the Inkwell Theater, unbeknownst to Mugman. She and Sheldon soon takes the Spotlight, and the girl begins to sing.)

Sally Stageplay
How many splashes of cartoon blood are on your gloves?
Oh, how many selfish acts AND terrible attacks have you inflicted upon the ones you love?

Sheldon Showboat
How many innocent denizens hide from prying eyes
From the wrath of your dearest brother, he'll cause such chaos and terror tonight

(As Sally and Sheldon take the spotlight, The crowd mumbled in fear as the two motion specifically Mugman, as the mug was only looking at the two in confusion. Soon Sheldon passed Sally back her parasol, as she opened it...as if it was some kind of shield as Sheldon gently grabs both of the babies on the stage.)

Sally Stageplay
Why have the audacity to help that lout of a brother, dear Mugman,
In no way would I call this such...

Sally Stageplay & Sheldon Showboat
Brotherly love~

Babies
BA BA BA BA!

Sally Stageplay
Instead, just join us, throw him to the dust, make that Cuphead pay and pay~
Think of the children, think of the youth, who will save them all from the Devil's day?

(Soon everyone nodded in agreement., and began to clap for Sally and Sheldon, Soon Mugman took the spotlight, as Sally only smug confidentially at the Mug, wondering just what will HE say to that? Cuphead only lowered his head, knowing that all Sally is saying is true.)

Mugman
Though I must admit...we had this comin' when the die was rolled...
I knew that trouble would come a brewin' I knew at risk would be our souls

I must admit that I agree, that dear Cuphead was the one at fault
He bet his soul, he bet my soul, I didn't want to be apart of this assault

(Cuphead lowered his head, seeing that all these things were coming from Mugman...it made the cup only guiltier and guiltier, as Sally only smirked, noticing Cuphead's sadness. However, Mugman continued his soliloquy.)

But it~ does matter, because no matter what comes this way worldwide,
There's nothing in the world that'll stop me, from being by my brother's side

Cuphead, oh Cuphead, even though he's made a HELL of a mess,
He's truly my brother, and I'll love you forever, may he walk the path of righteousness!

(Cuphead...had nothing to say. He was simply surprised of how much Mugman thinks of him...all positives no less. This however, made Sally infuriated at the blue nosed Mug as she soon began singing.)

Sally Stageplay & (Sheldon Showboat)
I know acting, I KNOW LIES! And that's the biggest of lies there ever was
Cup's a pest, and his quest will end in FLAMES! (It will REALLY end in flames!)

Sally Stageplay
FOOLISH MUG! FOOLISH CUPHEAD! You really think that Cup will ever go far?
Not in this act, when I attack, HE WILL LEARN PAIN-AHHH!

Sheldon Showboat
NO!

(Soon, Mugman defeated Sally as Sheldon quickly hid behind the curtains, knowing what comes next. The curtain opens again setting in a clouded moonlit night, and Sally soon returns...or what looks to be Sally, in a bright red gown, with pitch black angel wings, and a moon shape crown atop her head. It is clear she's transcended into a higher level. Props begin flying throughout the stage as Mugman dodged and fired as she continued to sing.)

Sally Stageplay
En garde, Cup, your time is up!
We'll see your intentions in this battle, so come square up!

It's the end of the act, last moment on stage
As you face the very hellish might of scarlet rage!

Mugman
With all my might, I don't want to fight!
Though I'm here for your contract, I'm claiming it without a fight!

To save this day, comes another way!
So come on Sally, Sheldon, THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY!

Sally Stageplay & (Mugman)
I AM BUT A GOD, YOU CAN'T BEAT ME! (I'm holding all the ground I can, I won't fight Sally!)

Sally Stageplay & (The Pope)
I'M THE STAR, AND YOU ARE MERELY TRASH! (Does this mean the play is over?)

Sally Stageplay & (Audience)
ALL of Inkwell shall see my beauty! (WE LOVE YOU DEAREST SALLY!)

Sally Stageplay
Even though you tried, you'll still die, by my CLASH-AHH!

(The crowd was going crazy at Sally's soliloquy, Mugman defeated her once again. She was truly loved, it seems. The audience kept saying tons and tons of positive things as the lights began to glitter back up. Is the play over?)

Sheldon Showboat
She's the GREATEST of the great she's!

Sheldon Showboat, Pope, & Audience
Beautiful, beloved, blessed, benevolent
Musical, magical, mystical, magnificent

Creative, confident, capable, caring
Dream, dazzling, delightful, daring

Perfect, punctual, profound, passionate
Respectful, resourceful, resilient, and radiant

Astonishing, amazing, astounding, alluring
Incredible, intelligent, illustrious, inspiring

(Mugman, and Cuphead can soon hear Sally's voice coming from up high, as she sings with such radiance.)

Sally Stageplay & (Everyone except Cuphead & Mugman)
Every way they all describe of me~ (Beautiful, beloved, blessed, benevolent)
A shooting star as perfect as can be~ (Musical, magical, mystical, magnificent)

(Mugman soon looks up to see Sally dangling up high dressed as an angel, as the curtain rises up to the same scene as before, this time...many of the props are scattered on the floor.)

Sally Stageplay
That being said, we're all agreed, that everyone in Inkwell simply adores me
While you foolish Cups really aren't worth a cent, I'm musical, magical, mystical, MAGNIFICENT!

(Soon, Sally's parasol twirled around as Mugman fired the Chaser at her as everyone, including her begins to sing. At this point, it seems Mugman has no choice...but to fight, in order for Sally to see through to him.)

Sally Stageplay, (The Pope, & Sheldon Showboat)
It is the day, you will be slayed, by the lovely (Sally Stageplay!)

Sheldon Showboat, The Pope, & Audience
Sally Stageplay!

Sally Stageplay, (The Pope, & Sheldon Showboat)
It is the hour, they both see the power of ME! (Sally Stageplay!)

Sheldon Showboat, The Pope, & Audience
Sally Stageplay!
Sally Stageplay~

Sally Stageplay
So, break a leg or limb or two or more!

Sheldon Showboat, The Pope, & Audience
The tremendous Stageplay~

Sally Stageplay
Dear Mugman, a star will has LOTS in stored! I'M...

Sheldon Showboat, The Pope, & Audience
SALLY STAGEPLAY~

Sally Stageplay
For mine's the light that ALL of Inkwell can see!

Sheldon Showboat, The Pope, & Audience
THE TREMENDOUS STAGEPLAY~

Sally Stageplay
It's CURTAINS for you, and a standing ovation for me!

Sheldon Showboat & (Sally Stageplay)
She's the idle that everyone craves! (YEAH!)
Rising to the highest ladder up top,

She'll RISE to the top, for it's Inkwell she'll save (THAT'S RIGHT!)
She's the beacon of hope, and she'll send the Devil to the grave!

Sally Stageplay
So sing and dance, and prance my prance, you've had your chance, now it's my stance, MUGS!
Can't you see how far we've come, it ain't wide enough for the both of us, WHY?

Audience & (Sally Stageplay)
She's the hero that Inkwell needs (YEAH!)

Sheldon Showboat
We've practice, we've auditioned, AND NOW IT'S TIME TO SHINE!

Audience & (Sally Stageplay)
She's the hero that Inkwell needs (YEAH!)

Mugman
THIS IS NOT A SHOW, OUR LIFE IS TRULY ON THE LINE!

Sally Stageplay & (Mugman)
Then, STEP ASIDE, you CAN'T showboat me! (Please Sally, we've dragged this LONG enough!)
I'M THE STAR, AND YOU ARE MERELY TRASH! (More to do, before we call it quits~)

ALL of Inkwell shall see my beauty! (I UNDERSTAND IF YOU'VE HAD IT ROUGH!)
Even though you tried, you'll still die, by my CLASH! (Please listen, WE WILL HELP YOU)

Sally Stageplay
I'm

Sally Stageplay & Mugman
Sally Stageplay~

Audience
She's

Everyone (Excluding Cuphead)
SALLY STAGEPLAY!

(Mugman soon tripped on the parasol slipping one last projectile shot, which sliced down the rope that held Sally. Cuphead, Mugman, Sheldon and the audience looked in surprise at that fact...but Sally, unbeknownst to her continued singing, until she slowly bounced and bounced mid-air...realizing the rope supporting her is cut off.)

Sally Stageplay
SALLY STAGEPLAY, Sally Stageplay,
Sally...Stageplay, Sally...Stageplay...
Ooooooh...boy...that ain't good...

SALLY STAGEPLAY: WOOOOOOAH! OOF!

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

(With a thud, Sally, messed up hair, in too much pain to even lift her head, decided to give Mugman a thumbs up. As bones crumbled, she held up high her soul contract...special for Mugman.)

MUGMAN: S-Sally?

SHELDON SHOWBOAT: DARLING!

(As bones cracked, Sally lifted her head up, with her face completely red, and her eyes swelled in purple, and a few teeth knocked out, in a cartoon manor. Cuphead, Mugman, and Sheldon only looked in concern.)

SALLY STAGEPLAY: A toon...isn't quite elusive to pain...so...this isn't a new for me. Though I wish...I had my stunt double...or something.

(Sally soon got off the floor, dusting off the dust on her dress as if nothing happened.)

MUGMAN: Sally...I'm so, SO, Sorry...I swear, I..I didn't mean to do this!

SALLY STAGEPLAY: Take it. Before I change my mind.

(Hesitantly, Mugman soon took Sally's soul contract. He soon looks up to her in confusion.)

SALLY STAGEPLAY: So tell me, Muggy. Now that you've passed our little Mock Battle...what will you do now? I mean...obviously you're journey is quite close to ending, so...what will you do now?

MUGMAN: Help Cuphead...we're both gonna get our souls back from the Devil.

SALLY STAGEPLAY: Not as lengthy, the audience needs more than that. Tell me, how precisely do you plan to get your souls back, along with OUR souls?

MUGMAN: Well...I can't say we've thought that through yet, but I'm sure we'll find a way. We came this far, we're not gonna chicken out now.

SALLY STAGEPLAY: You suuuuuuuuuure? I know many performers who call a quits RIGHT before the curtains open. So the audience is DYING to know, Mugman...you say you've came this far and you won't chicken out, but how do you know your BROTHER won't?

(Cuphead looked in concern regarding Mugman's next answer. What's he going to say?)

SHELDON SHOWBOAT: Out of all the actors, Cuphead really is the finest one, I'll tell you that. The question is...how do YOU know that Cuphead isn't acting? You put too much trust on him, and yet...do you even know the answer?

(Most of the crowd mumbled in intrigue, considering that these two are giving valid points. Even Cuphead himself...is unsure if he's acting or not. Mugman narrowed his eyes and gave out a big sigh.)

MUGMAN: I don't!

(Everyone looked at Mugman in surprise. Out of all the answers they were expecting...full on confessing...ISN'T one of them.)

SALLY STAGEPLAY: You...DON'T know if Cuphead is acting or not?

MUGMAN: Of course not! Sheesh, you guys are acting like I SHOULD know Cuphead, that's the thing...I don't!

(At this point...it actually seemed like Mugman...was genuinely mad. Cuphead looked at his brother in surprise.)

CUPHEAD: (Heartbroken) Mugs...

MUGMAN: Look, I can't say that I don't know Cuphead. It's not possible to. He's not really an open book you know. However, there's only one thing I know about him, with that reason, what other reason could I need for thinking Cuphead isn't acting?

SALLY STAGEPLAY: (Intrigued) Which is...?

MUGMAN: Well...let me ask you something before I do, Sally: how do you know that Mr. Showboat isn't acting, in front of you? Aren't you a newlywed? Or are you two just acting?

SHELDON SHOWBOAT: Well...we're a married couple in the acting business, of course, heh!

MUGMAN: Right. So, answer my question Sally, does Sheldon ever act? Do you KNOW him long enough to say he would lie to you? If so, then props to him, because he'd be quite a professional actor for keeping that shtick up for years. Riiiight?

(Silence emanated the room. Everyone looked at the mug in surprise. Sally...flustered...answered his question.)

SALLY STAGEPLAY: H-H-He wouldn't lie to me about anything! Husband and wife don't keep secrets...do they?

(Sheldon soon takes Sally's gloved hands as he looked at her warmly.)

SHELDON SHOWBOAT: Of course not, honey. I would never keep such a ridiculous act up. Sold your soul or not, I'll always love you, Stagey-wagey

(Sally...overwhelmed...with tears soon smiled at her beloved.)

SALLY STAGEPLAY: (Crying tears of joy) A-And I love you too, Boaty-woaty...

(Soon, the two actors dived in for a kiss, as Mugman smiled and nodded his head, with the answer needed.)

AUDIENCE: Aww~

MUGMAN: So, everyone. That should answer my question. If Sally and Sheldon aren't acting, then how do you know me and Cuphead are? How do you know that he's not doing this for the generosity in his heart, or for the sake of setting things right for everyone? Am I right, Cuphead?

(Everyone soon looked down to the isle to see a wobbling, teary-eyed Cuphead, looking at his brother as sweet as can be. Mugman opens up his arms.)

MUGMAN: I know you want it, bud.

CUPHEAD: The only thing I've been missin' out on...

(Cuphead soon runs down the isle and to the stage to accept his brother's hug as Sally and Sheldon continue their kiss.)

AUDIENCE: AWWWWWW~

CUPHEAD: (crying) I...I just want this nightmare to end already...I just wanna go back to Elder Kettle...already...

MUGMAN: I know, I know. Believe me, nothing says sweet relief that FINALLY gettin' these contracts to the Devil, and helpin' the folks out. But, on the bright side, Cup...we're almost there. In fact...

(Mugman soon took out the Devil's scroll on who else is needed.)

MUGMAN: Let's see...we've got Brineybeard's contract, Honeybottom's contract, Cala Maria's contract, I got Werman's and Sally's contract...

CUPHEAD: A-a-and uh...I got the contract of Kahl's robot...

(Mugman was checking off all the contracts they've collected thus far.

MUGMAN: Kahl's Robot...alright, that's 6...which means...by golly Cuphead...do you know what this mean?

(Cuphead soon wiped his tiny little nose, and the tears upon his eyes and turned to his lil' brother.)

CUPHEAD: (Sniffles) What?

(Cuphead soon turned down to the contract. The audience grumbles and muses in intrigue as Cuphead regained his composure...realizing that they truly ARE almost done with their journey.)

CUPHEAD: I can't believe it...we're...actually almost done...in all of Inkwell Glade, Inkwell Park...and Inkwell City...

(Cuphead and Mugman looked in surprise that there's only one check box left.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: We have...one more debt to collect...

(Cuphead soon lowered his head and narrowed his eyes as the audience grumbled and talked among themselves in surprise. This news was also enough to stop Sally and Sheldon from their kissing.)

CUPHEAD: One more debtor left...before finally returning to King Dice and the Devil.

MUGMAN: One more debtor left until we finally come face to face with those crooks. We're almost there, Cuphead.

SALLY STAGEPLAY: Ehhh...what the heck. If ol' Bee Queen is gonna bee mad at me, it'll be on her. The show's gotta go on someday. That being said, The Phantom Express is what you boys are after, next.

(Cuphead and Mugman soon turned to Sally as she uttered those two words, making everyone grumbled and mumbled this time in fear.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: The Phantom Express?

SALLY STAGEPLAY: That's right. The Blind Specter, T-Bone, the Blaze Brothers, and the Head of the Train. All of them sighed the Devil's contract so their train can ride throughout all of Inkwell Isle...forever, even through Death. They strayed away because taking their souls would mean taking the very train itself. So they fended him off, and they forever road the rails until death. The Phantom Express is the last contract you boys are after.

(Cuphead soon looks out the window. The sun is starting to finally lower.)

CUPHEAD: Mugs, it doesn't look like we have much time. The day's dying. Do you know where we can find them, Sally?

SALLY STAGEPLAY: The Old Abandoned Railroad Station, just past the graveyards of Inkwell Bog. If you're going there, you might want to get going now, boys. You REALLY don't want to go through Inkwell Bog at night.

CUPHEAD: Understood. We're at the home stretch now, Mugs...let's got.

MUGMAN: Thanks for the contract, Sally!

SALLY STAGEPLAY: Honestly, you boys kinda opened my eyes, so I should thank you on that. You ain't half bad for a cup of dishware. Good luck, boys! We're counting on you!

(Soon everyone in Inkwell Theater claps and cheers for Cuphead and Mugman as the reunited duo walked down the isle exiting the theater. We're finally at the home-stretch folks, the endgame...is at hand. The curtains soon close.)

---

(The curtain opens up...not in either Cuphead or Mugman's point of view...but the view...of the shady kind. We soon reunite with King Dice and the Devil back in Inkwell Hell, looking back at their captives of Inkwell's Glade and Park. Silence emanated the room. King Dice and the Devil only looked out the window. A smirk...however was seen made by King Dice.)

KING DICE: You a bettin' man, bossman?

(The Devil sneered at that remark.)

DEVIL: Dice, you should know me by now. Of course I am...what did you have in mind?

KING DICE: Heh. It's almost nighttime in Inkwell Isle. And it's those Cupface's second day. You DID say that the second day they've gotta get those contracts, right?

DEVIL: Yep. ALL of them.

KING DICE: And if the boys don't make it, their souls are yours, right?

DEVIL: That's right.

(King Dice smirks.)

KING DICE: Do ya think they'll make it?

DEVIL: They've got moxie, Dice, and I like it. I'll give you that much. I for one think they'll pull this off without a hitch. I mean...assumin' they value their souls that is. Why, do you?

KING DICE: You want the truth, boss? Those boys are but twigs that'll break. I bet that ol' Cupface practically broke already, him and that spineless brother of his. I mean...without a spine how could that one even break? I'm sayin' Boss, I'm feelin' you're bettin' on the wrong horse.

(The Devil started to smirk.)

DEVIL: You can skip the formalities, Dice. I know what you're plannin' here. A wager on if those boys'll crack before the night's over?

KING DICE: You know it. If those boys break like the glass they are, and I'm right, I call boss for a day.

DEVIL: And if I win? Not like you got anythin' to be with, Dice.

KING DICE: A demotion.

DEVIL: I see...so if you win a promotion, and if I win...a DEmotion. Hheehehehhe...ohhhhh Dice, when it comes to bettin' you'd just about put anythin' on the line, now would you?

KING DICE: It's ALL about winnin' Boss.

HILDA BERG: (Cough) Kissup.

(King Dice soon narrowed his eyes as he snapped his attention to Hilda, to which she only whistled, pretending she didn't do anything wrong. Looking back at the chained up debtors in suspicion, King Dice turned back to his boss with a smile.)

KING DICE: So boss, we've got a deal?

DEVIL: Hahaha, willingly deal with the Devil, why don't ya, Dice? That's why I like ya. Alright...IT'S A DEAL!

(The Devil and King Dice shook hands on it.)

KING DICE: Hehehe, game on, Bossman.

DEVIL: May the best sleaze win.

KING DICE: Heh, I plan to. Now that I've got THAT off my plate, I've got me some customers to attend to. After all...it's about that time for me to go up, ain't it?

(King Dice soon leaves the stage to tend to the very people down in the Casino. The Devil soon looked down the window to see the Diceman doing his job, tending to all the customers in the casino. He chuckled as he blew out a smoke from his cigar.)

DEVIL: Heh-heh, the casino seems pretty dim, as of now, but once those boys make their way here...it'll be one hell of a party. You Cupfaces seem to really bring the party the last time you were here...heh, I remembered it all as if it was yesterday...

BEPPI THE CLOWN: Because it WAS yesterday...

(The Devil didn't heed anything that Beppi just uttered as he was flashing back. Flashing back to the day...two certain Cups were apart of those seats.)

---

(Flashback to that faithful day. King Dice's show was about to start, as all the customers were simply drinking, gambling, having fun without a simple care in the world. One of those people...were Cuphead and Mugman as the two were simply seated, as they heard the sleazy manager, King Dice talking with many of the gamblers. Soon...the lights begin to dim.)

KING DICE: Hmm? Oh, looks like it's my time to go up now, ain't it? Hopus, Wheezy you know what to do.

(The boys soon noticed a top hat and a man in a suit with a cigar for a head making its way up the stage, as the spotlight flashed up on the two. Coming out from the top hat appears to be...a pristine white rabbit...with a maddening look in his eye.)

HOPUS POCUS: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, BOYS AND BOYS, CHILDREN OF ALL AGES-

MR. WHEEZY: Ok, no. Shut the hell up, this ain't someone's birthday party. I'll handle this. (Ahem) Ladies and gentlemen...aw, who am I kiddin'? GENTLEMEN! I hope ya'll are havin' a hell of a time at the Casino, because the party's JUST startin' tonight we've got you a special entertainment...presentin' the one...

HOPUS POCUS: The only...

MR. WHEEZY & HOPUS POCUS: KING DICE!

(Soon, a bombardment of boos came fourth, the moment King Dice entered the stage. The customers, besides Cuphead and Mugman booed at the Dice man.)

KING DICE: That's me!

(Even more boos erupted when he mentions himself.)

MAN: (Slurred) BRING OUT THE DAMES!

(King Dice and the two on stage only chuckled at that remark. A mischievous chuckle.)

KING DICE: Dames ya want, huh? Well...there'll be plenty of them your futures, fellas.

MAN: YEAH RIGHT!

KING DICE: Just hear me out, boys...this ain't somethin' you wanna miss out on.

On a Roll
Lyrics by RecD
Feat. King Dice, Staff, & The Devil

(Cuphead and Mugman only looked in confusion at the man in purple. King Dice decided to bob with the rhythm as the piano began to play a few notes. Soon, an entire band swelled up into a more...slow jazz tone...King Dice...soon began to sing, with a WINK.)

King Dice
Listen to me sinners, one and all,
Lady Luck's about to pay a call to you...ya boys it's true~

Just one perfect play, one perfect game
And you'll find your way to fortune and fame, with ease...it's the bee's knees~

King Dice, (Hopus Pocus, & Mr. Wheezy)
It's time to be a winner, it's time to bet it all (Ahhh-ahh~ Ahhh-ahhh~)

King Dice, Hopus Pocus, & Mr. Wheezy
There ain't no stoppin' now,
You're on a roll~

(Later after the show's performance, the customers, and party makers were continuing gambling, drinking, and smoking their hearts out. One of those customers...now included Cuphead and Mugman, who were standing on the winning side of the crap's table. King Dice looked in awe at the boy's performance on the table.)

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

(Unbenknost to the others, King Dice soon motioned one of his staff, a domino with four eyes, with a blue top hat and gloves on top as if he was wearing a suit, and a skirt and bright red heels on the bottom as if she was wearing a dress. With the clicking of heels, the domino went off.)

PIP & DOT: BOSS, BOSS! YOU'VE GOTTA HEAR ABOUT THIS!

(Screaming and barreling in, Pip & Dot made their way into...the Devil's office. Where the devil...they don't even look at them. All the two could see is smoke coming out from behind the back of the chair.)

PIP: Why it's the Cup fellas at Table 30! They're knockin' it at the park, boss!

DOT: All too well, if ya ask me...it's another Jackpot they JUST won!

(Soon, chuckling was heard, making Dot specifically shake her legs in fear. The Devil soon turned his chair around with a sleazy look on his face.)

DEVIL: Is that right? Hehehe...well then...it's about time you learn how the Devil turns high rollers...into low swingers. Follow my lead, kids.

(The Devil rose up from his chair.)

(Meanwhile, as Cuphead and Mugman continued their rolling...he came...as King Dice bowed.)

DEVIL: Heheh, well, well, well...what have we here? Doin' pretty well, ain't ya, fellas?

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: We sure are!

DEVIL: That's nice to here...heheh. So...how about we raise the stakes a bit?

MUGMAN: Raise the stakes? Golly, Cuphead...I kinda think we've rolled enough...

CUPHEAD: Yeah...I'm kinda good with stopping here.

DEVIL: Hehehehehehehheheheheheheeeeeee...think you're good stoppin' there? Well...allow me to convince you otherwise.

(With a WINK from King Dice, the Devil began to sing.)

The Devil
Just one lucky roll, one...lucky play
And you'll take the whole damn place away~ What do you say?

(Greed forming into Cuphead's eyes...something Mugman's never seen before.)

CUPHEAD: The WHOLE place...?

(While singing his parts, King Dice reminisce a few business patrons that he's dealt with, using these terms, with two specific debtors: Captain Brineybeard, and Baroness Von Bon-Bon.)

King Dice
You could live a life of luxury,
Or sail the Inkwell Seas, gay and free of strife...now THAT'S the life

MUGMAN: But we've already kinda got that, don't we Cup?

CUPHEAD: Go on...

The Devil, King Dice, & (Staff)
It's time to be a winner, it's time to bet it all, (Ahhh-ahh~ Ahhh-ahhh~)

The Devil, King Dice, & Staff
Be smart and risk your future...
On a roll~

DEVIL: So the deal's set. If you win all the loot in the casino's yours...however, if ya lose...well...since ya bet it all, you're REALLY gonna bet it all, of course. Includin' your SOULS.

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: O-Our souls?'

DEVIL: That's right...but why should that trouble you? When you're so close to winnin?' Better hope Lady Luck's on your favor, boys...right, Dice?

(Soon, King Dice and his staff began to sing, tempting Cuphead...and Cuphead SPECIFICALLY even further.)

King Dice & (Phear Lap)
HOOOOOOOO, HIDEY-HIDEY-HO! (You ought roll them bones, if you're feelin' lucky!)

King Dice & (Chips Bettigan)
NOOOOOOOO, SCOO-BA-DE-DA-DA-DA-DA-DO! (And if you're feelin' lucky, GO ALL IN!)

King Dice & (Mr. Wheezy)
GOOOOOOOO, N'GO, N'GO, N'GO! (So don'tcha get cold feet on us, Mr. Cuppy!)

King Dice & (The Devil)
NOOOOOOOO, Y'KNOW, Y'KNOW, Y'KNOW! (You've gotta play to win~)

(Cuphead...with money in his eyes...blinding his better judgement with greed...he rolled the die.)

CUPHEAD: The big bucks...all...in...IT'S ALL OR NOTHIN' LET'S DO IT!

MUGMAN: CUPHEAD NO!

(But it was too late. Cuphead rolled the dice...and he landed on snake-eyes. It seems Lady Luck...wasn't so fortunate with the two. The Devil slammed the table, towering the two Cups.)

DEVIL: HAHAHAHA SNAKE EYES! Sorry boys, but you've LOST! Now...about them souls...

(Cuphead and Mugman, shaken in fear, pleaded for their very lives.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: (Shivering) P-P-P-PLEASE MR. DEVIL, THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY!

DEVIL: (Chuckling) heheheh...another way ya say? It just so happens...I've got one more deal for you...if'n you want to keep your souls. (He pulls out a parchment) I have a list, here, of runaway debtors. Collect their souls for me, and I might just pardon yours.

(The Devil kicked the boys out of his casino, rudely.)

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!

---

(Flashback End as the Devil blew out smoke from his cigar. He soon chuckled.)

DEVIL: Heheheheheheh...just like old times...huh, boys? Now then...the time's almost up...what...will you boys do?

(He looked out the window, overseeing all of Inkwell Isle. The sun's finally starting to go down. He blew another cloud of smoke and the spotlight shines down on him. He soon...concluded the song)

The Devil
It's time to be a winner...it's time to take it all...
There ain't no stoppin' me...
I'm on a roll~

---

(The scene transitions with the spotlight going out, and the curtain closing, as well. The audience claps as the scene transitions back to Cuphead and Mugman...the two are now traversing through the darkness of nightfall...and...of Inkwell Bog. The cups have made their way into the spooky, scary graveyard. To their dismay, the moonlight shines down upon the two cups, as they can hear the howling of wolves, and the fluttering of bats throughout the haunted scenery.)

CUPHEAD: Looks like we've made it to the graveyard, Mugs.

MUGMAN: (Shivering) Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Yeah...i-it's the place alright. T-t-the old abandon Railroad Station should be just past the swampy marsh...t-t-t-t-truth be told, Cup...after all we've seen in our journey, I-I-I can't say a spooky place like this sits well with me...

CUPHEAD: (Sigh) Yeah...I can finally see why Sally warned us not to go through here at nightfall. There has to be another way...a SAFER way to the railroad station. Are you with me, Mugs? I'll understand if you're not.

(Mugman only smiled amidst his shaking.)

MUGMAN: N-N-N-N-No problem, Cuphead! I don't wanna let you go alone.

CUPHEAD: (Sighs) Mugs...you don't have to do this. We can turn back, and I send you to Sally, and I go through the Bog by myself, and get you when I'm done. I don't wanna force you into this, if you're scared, Mugs.

MUGMAN: Heheh, scared? Me? C'mon, Cup, don't be silly! I-I-I'll be fine, don't worry! Besides, why turn back now? It's our last contract, Cuphead! I can do it, bro. S-s-s-so lead on!

(Cuphead looks back at his brother in concern, but giving out a reluctant sigh, he pressed on further throughout the graveyard.)

CUPHEAD: Alright, Mugs...but...stay close to me. Is that alright?

MUGMAN: A-OK!

(Delightfully, Mugman soon retreated close to Cuphead, as the older red cup continued to walk forward. The eerie silence of this graveyard was beginning to make Cuphead concerned as well. As they traversed through the graveyard...)

(Twig breaks)

MUGMAN: GH-Did you hear that?

CUPHEAD: A twig broke, Mugs, it's probably just a small animal passing by.

(An owl hoots)

MUGMAN: (In fear pointed his finger in defense.) WHAWASTHAT?!

CUPHEAD: An owl, Mugs.

(...crying?)

MUGMAN: CUP?!

CUPHEAD: Just Forkington complaining about...well everyone. See?

(The camera soon turns to Forkington, bowing before a tree, with tears streaming through his monocle.)

FORKINGTON: (Wailing) WHYYYYYYYYY MUST I BE NEAR SO MANY COMMONERS!? (Cries) I DIDN'T ASK TO BE NEAR THEM, WHY...COULDN'T THEY JUST BE GRADE A LIKE ME?! WAAAAAAAAA! (Wailing)

CUPHEAD: Geez, what a drama queen.

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman approached a gravestone with a stone urn resting on top of the tomb. The moment they walked passed it however, they heard it shake. They immediately stopped.)

MUGMAN: C-Cuphead...? D-did that urn just...

CUPHEAD: Yeah...

?: Ya heard me? Good, makes it easier to ask for some HELP!

MUGMAN: AHHHH!

(Mugman soon hid behind Cuphead in fear, at the suddenly talking Urn.)

MUGMAN: T-T-T-THE URN JUST TALKED! IT'S HAUNTED, CUP!

?: The urn's not haunted you idiot, I'm inside the urn...NOW GET ME OUTTA HERE! I've been sealed in and I can't get out!

CUPHEAD: Sealed in, huh? Seems like an easy thing to d-

(An organ began to tune up, when suddenly a number of pink ghosts began appearing, floating, and rising up from their tombs, as they looked towards the trio.)

GHOSTS: LIVE TOONS~

ELDER GHOST: In my Graveyard? I DON'T THINK SO!

CUPHEAD: MORE GHOSTS?!

?: Oh boy...it must be them again! They've been after the urn for too long! Don't let them get the urn! Ya gotta parry!

CUPHEAD: Parry?

MUGMAN: BUT WHO ARE THEY?!

?: The gang that rules these Cemetery, and do harm to those alive...the Specter Syndicate!

Phantasmal Parade
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. The Specter Syndicate

(They immediately began to sing. Cuphead and Mugman soon began parrying as the urn told them, as the ghosts came closer.)

Big Ghost & Medium Ghost

Male Ghosts

The Specter Syndicate
FOR YOU WILL BE JOINING THE GHOSTS TONIGHT!

(Despite the fact that Cuphead and Mugman, parried a great majority of ghosts, more still approaches along the way. The Elder Ghost cackles as the ghosts soon surround Cuphead and Mugman, as the two looks nervously.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: (Gulp)

ELDER GHOST: I know, our feats are quite breath taking. You'll see soon enough, ONCE WE TAKE YOURS!

CUPHEAD: Any other ideas, Miss. Urn?

?: Kinda, but it'll NEVER work with mortals like yourselves!

(The two boys looked at the urn in confusion, yet still frantic as the ghosts came closer and closer.)

CUPHEAD: What do you mean?

MUGMAN: WEEEE DON'T HAVE TIME, WHAT IS IT!?

?: Forget it, bubs, there's no way you can unlock it. It's something that even I have trouble doin' and that's saying allot comin' from a ghost! Aww, shoot, I was hopin' to be free this time, but looks like you'll up and die on me...a shame...

MUGMAN: Gulp...

CUPHEAD: Concentrate...Mugs...maybe we can prove her wrong. We'll get through this.

(Looking at his big nose brother in confidence, Cuphead gave Mugman a big gloved thumbs up. Trusting him, Mugman nodded his head...ready for anything.)

(As the ghosts soon came barreling by, as the circle was closing in, and closing in...Cuphead and Mugman concentrated...concentrating with all their might...and soon...something strange happened.)

BANG!

(Immediately, the boys flung many of the ghosts away. It seems they themselves were ghosts...but...they were MUCH muscular than the other ghosts. The ghosts hesitated, but the Elder Ghost stood his ground.)

ELDER GHOSTS: WELL!? THAT AIN'T GONNA STOP US! GET THEM SPIRITS!

(The pink ghosts continued to float to them. But it seems, Cuphead and Mugman extended their gloved fists...and circled around, spinning, and spinning, knocking around the ghosts at a numerous pace.)

MEDIUM GHOSTS: TH-THEY'RE SO STRONG!

FEMALE GHOSTS: WE CAN'T EVEN GET THROUGH THEM WHEN THEY'RE MORTAL! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

BIG GHOST: RETREAT!

(With the screaming and panicking of the ghosts, the Specter Syndicate, other than the Elder Ghost, flea and pleaded for their undead lives, as they trample and pass by the Elder Ghost. Soon...they return to their tombstones...leaving the Elder Ghost alone with the duo and the urn.)

(Soon, the muscular spirits disappeared, leaving behind two gleaming pink hearts. Blissfully, those hearts sunk back inside Cuphead and Mugman's mortal chests. Soon, with a clinking of glass, Cuphead and Mugman soon arose from their...well...deaths...and rose from the ground to stand behind the urn, blocking the Elder Ghost from getting it.)

ELDER GHOST: Grrrr...you rotten kids and your no good tricks. My men might be scared of you, but I AIN'T! The time will come when we get whatever the heck's inside that urn! So challenge us back in Inkwell Bog again, I DARE YA! (grumbling) Nothin' but trouble youth...blast it...

(In defeat, the Elder Ghost returned to his grave, as Cuphead and Mugman cheered.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: WE DID IT!

?: Are you guys dead yet?

CUPHEAD: Far from it! We were able to give those ghosts a wallop!

MUGMAN: Yeah! We turned into muscular ghosts a-and stuff! And we were all like, oooooooh, oh-oh, a-a-and maybe boooo, spooky~ It was AMAZING!

?: WHAT?! YOU MASTERED THE FINAL KITCHEN EMPIRE ART?! GET OUT, I WISH I HAD A CAMERA FOR THAT!

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Kitchen Empire Art?

?: OOOOOOOOOOOOH, You've just GOTTA tell me! Did ya blast them baddies off with an energy blast?

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Yeah?

?: A-a-a-and did you go invincible, glowing in a golden light around you?

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Yeah?

?: OOOOOOOOOOH~ A-A-A-AND JUST NOW YOU BOYS JUST TURNED INTO GHOSTS, RIGHT?!

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Yes!

?: YA-S-DSDS-SDKDSLDS-Th-t-t-t-then then you're the ones aren't you?! Y-y-y-y-you're Cuphead and Mugman, aren't you?! Open the urn, OPEN THE URN! I've gotta talk to you! nononono, I've gotta SEE you! I DON'T CARE WHAT I DO, JUST OPEN THE URN!

CUPHEAD: Alright, alright! Just calm down...I'll get you outta there in a jiffy.

(The red dressed cup hoisted himself up, and opened the lid on the urn. Soon, escaping from inside the urn came a small little ghost ball. As xylaphones played, at great speed, the ghost ball flew around the two cups...no doubt it looks happy. It soon formed into a ghost...a young female ghost with a chalice for a head.)

You've Come So Far
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Ms. Chalice

CUPHEAD: A chalice?

MUGMAN: A GHOST?!

MS. CHALICE: A GHOST NAMED MS. CHALICE!

(Soon, as a spotlight flashes down on her, the young Chalice begins to sing.)

Ms. Chalice
Here comes the stars~ look at where they are~
Cuphead and Mugman~ we meet again~

After all these years~ after all the tears~
Look how far ya grown~ look how much ya show~

You Brothers in arms
Really have charms

WHOO! Hot dang, I can't believe I finally see ya
If only your mama got to live to see ya

If only I could only live to see ya,
Here you are, Cuphead stars, your childhood friend from the kitchen!

You Brothers in arms
Really have charm

OH! Remember when~ we played through gardens~
Frisbee with the plates~ eating mutton till there's none left to take!

We've played some pranks~ and wine we drank~
Oh...the trouble ensued, with me and you~

Sweet memories, memories,
They fill me with glee~

Oh, you've come so far, after thousands of years,
And seeing you again, just really fills me with tears

If your mother and I would see you Cupheads age well
It'd be swell, I can tell, you've grown so well, and came so far, Oh Cupheads!

(As Ms. Chalice swirled around the two cups, Cuphead and Mugman could only look at this Ms. Chalice, in confusion. All this senseless babbling, and they have NO idea what she's talking about.)

CUPHEAD: Wait...wait a minute...childhood friend? It's been so long...a-are you sure?

MS. CHALICE: Well...you practically WERE in your diapers at the time, let's be real here. On top of that, I was in my big girl diapers. That was practically centuries ago, hehehe! But why is THAT important? WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT IS THAT I GET TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN, AFTER SO MANY Y-WOAH!

(Ms. Chalice tries to hug them, but ended up falling, phasing through them as Cuphead and Mugman shivered at the sudden chill received by the female cup...or Chalice.)

MS. CHALICE: Heheheh...uhhhh...sorry!

MUGMAN: No biggie. So...does that make you...our...sister?

MS. CHALICE: Pfffff no? That's up to your mom, if that was the case. Course, if it WAS the case, then technically I would be the bigger sister.

(Cuphead...soon lowered his head, and looked at his 'childhood friend' warmly.)

CUPHEAD: Ms. Chalice...question...how do you know our mom?

MS. CHALICE: How do I know her? EVERYONE in the Kitchen Empire knows her! She was the mightiest cup in all the empire. She was the bravest chalice that fought headfirst against those nasty Mythos. I was there when she fought like...DOZENS of them!

MUGMAN: Golly, dozens of Mythos?

MS. CHALICE: Yep! Well...I wouldn't say I was there, I was...well babysitting you two, with my ol' childhood friend. Which reminds me, how is he? I know he helped you escaped with Squire Kettle.

MUGMAN: Squire Kettle?

MS. CHALICE: Yeah! Your mom tasked Squire Kettle and I to get you two to safety and outta the Kitchen Empire, the day that nasty Cyclops invaded and wiped us out. Squire Kettle, and Lil' Grim was able to get out outta there with their skins in tact too, I...well (Ms. Chalice lowers her head in disappointment.) I wasn't too fortunate.

CUPHEAD: The Cyclops took you too, Chalice?

MS. CHALICE: Yeah...it was the end of this lil' chalice...and your mom...Cuphead. But still, toons can change shape, so I at least got to fight by her side, and got my place on the statue of heroes!

CUPHEAD: So...the statue in Inkwell Keep...WAS you?

MS. CHALICE: Of course!

MUGMAN: WAIT A MINUTE! I just realized something...you just mentioned Lil' Grim...is he...by any chance a dragon?

MS. CHALICE: Dragon, lil' dragon, there's a difference right? He's my lil' Grimmy friend. Why? Did you see him?

CUPHEAD: If he's a giant dragon named Grim Matchstick...then...well we fought with him. Course, that would explain why there's a ton of other little dragons swarming throughout the keep.

MS. CHALICE: Lil' Grim is the kindest Mythos in all the Kitchen Empire, and the ONLY Mythos that wouldn't result to violence, unlike his uncouth kin. I find it hard to believe that you fought him.

CUPHEAD: Well...you've gotta admit that things change after centuries long.

MS. CHALICE: True...I suppose. To thine own self, I suppose. BUT, I've dawdled on for too long. Surely it's not me you're here for, isn't it, boys? Especially in a spooky dark place like this. Anything in particular you need?

MUGMAN: Well...long story short, we...

CUPHEAD: I.

MUGMAN: (Sighs) Cuphead...made a deal with the Devil, and now we're beating up folks all over Inkwell Isle, so we can grab their contracts to give it to them in exchange for our souls. Cuphead and I are trying to find a way to set everyone at once free, but for now we've gotta play the Devil's game.

MS. CHALICE: Now THAT'S a man who's older than the Kitchen Empire.

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: The Devil?

MS. CHALICE: The Devil. He's an ancient, evil, he is. I wouldn't be surprised if all that's happened in the Kitchen Empire was his deal.

CUPHEAD: What makes you say that...

(Cuphead soon looked up in realization.)

CUPHEAD: You don't think...

MUGMAN: What is it, Cuphead?

CUPHEAD: Hmm...

MS. CHALICE: Cuphead?

(Whatever thoughts that Cuphead was thinking of, it was clear that he soon shook his head, dismissing them, and decided to go back on track.)

CUPHEAD: Nah...nah, it's too big of a speculation, it's nothing. But, to continue...our journey's almost over, Chalice. We're here to find the last contract on the list, the Phantom Express. The Abandoned Railroad Station should be out of these graveyards...but it's a long walk, there.

MS. CHALICE: Child's play! I know a shortcut! We don't have much time until it decides to depart. So follow me! Last one there's a rotten corpse!

(Ms. Chalice playfully floated off at great speed.)

CUPHEAD: Right, got it. Let's get going.

MUGMAN: WAIT FOR US, MS. CHALICE!

(And with that, quickly but carefully, with the guidance of their childhood friend, Cuphead and Mugman followed Ms. Chalice through another area of the woods, as the scene transitioned as the lights flashed out.)

---

(Soon with applause, the curtain rises up, and Cuphead, Mugman, and the Legendary Chalice found themselves in an old abandoned railroad station...the very place they want to be. Resting on said railroad station...was a lone train. The eerie silence returns as Cuphead and Mugman escaped the forest.)

CUPHEAD: Is that it?

MS. CHALICE: Yep. That's the Phantom Express. I ain't got no watch, but I'm not sure when the train'll dep-

?: CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

MS. CHALICE: Now. The train is departing now.

MUGMAN: Already?!

CUPHEAD: They must've known we were coming.

(Slowly, the they soon noticed the train moving, as the rusting of gears were heard. The train was immediately about to depart.)

?: CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

?: ALLLLLL ABOARD!

CUPHEAD: NO! Uh...uh...LOOK THERE!

(Cuphead soon spots a wooden railroad handcar just dismissively sat by the dead grass.)

CUPHEAD: C'MON MUGS!

MUGMAN: RIGHT!

(Cuphead and Mugman, slowly moved the handcar to the railroad, as the two pushed and pulled, pushed and pulled, pushed and pulled to catch up to the now moving train. Suddenly...the train roared again.)

ANNOUNCER: A GREAT SLAM AND THEM SOME!

?: CHOOOOO-CHOOOOOOO-CHOOO!

CONDUCTOR: ALLLLLLL AOBARD!

(Suddenly, taking Cuphead and Mugman by surprise, as the train begins to move at a rhythmical pace, a ghost suddenly pops up from the back cart in the window. A clear pristine blue ghost, with one eye socket, and eyes on his hands.)

Railroad Wrath
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Phantom Express

CONDUCTOR: Next stop...your funeral.

ANNOUNCER: NOW GO!

(Immediately as the Blind Specter blasted out eyes towards the Cup and Mug, as Cuphead and Mugman returned fire, the ghost...and the rest of the members of the train begins to sing.)

The Phantom Express
Specters, monsters, creeps galore, oh so oogie,
Spiders, howlers, rotters, and then some creeapies

In this night, here comes a fright, a railroad boogie
It's the PHANTOM EXPRESS! (CHOO-CHOO!) no time for sleepies

Blind Specter
As far as thee I can see, you're boys are comin' for we
The last of your errand fee, for the Devil he~

A pity I have to say, You won't get us today
Your future's lookin' grey

Phantom Express
CAUSE TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT YOU PAY!

Blind Specter
This train will never stop

Conductor T-Bone
The coal will NEVER drop!

Blind Specter
This train will never stop, and we'll ride the rails, till the end of days~

Conductor T-Bone
This train will never stop and we'll ride the rails, till the end of days~

The Blaze Brothers
This train will never stop, and we'll ride the rails, till the end of days~

The Phantom Express
This train will never stop, and we'll ride the rails, till the end of days~

Blind Specter
SO PRAY! ghosts are comin' soon your way
While you're rollin' at the fray

Conductor T-Bone
You won't get us through your sway
You will never get your pay~

Train (Overlapping)
CHOO-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~

Blaze Brothers
You will pay tonight's our day, for all of Inkwell you betrayed
That's why we all say

The Phantom Express
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT YOU PAY!

(Soon, after many hits, Cuphead and Mugman defeated the Blind Specter going through the way, as they quickly got pushing and pulling to the next box. The next box, came bursting out a gigantic skeleton the size of the very tracks. It was the conductor himself, Conductor T-Bone.)

Specters, monsters, creeps galore, oh so oogie,
Spiders, howlers, rotters, and then some creeapies

In this night, here comes a fright, a railroad boogie
It's the Phantom Express! no time for sleepies

Blind Specter
The coal's been run, the bone's will burn, it's somethin' you Cupheads can't discern
The coal's on the run, some bones will burn, some teacups will be breakin'

Conductor T-Bone
You'll be counting worms, after this, right under the station square
You'll never defeat the Devil, you won't even dare SO!

Train & (Conductor T-Bone)
CHOO-CHOO (Whatayatalk, whatayatalk)
CHOO-CHOO (Whatayatalk, whatayatalk)
CHOO-CHOO (Whatayatalk, whatayatalk)
CHOO-CHOO (IT'S BULL YOU'RE TALKIN')

CHOO-CHOO (Whatayatalk, whatayatalk)
CHOO-CHOO (Whatayatalk, whatayatalk)
CHOO-CHOO (Whatayatalk, whatayatalk)

Phantom Express & (Conductor T-Bone)
You talk a bull claim! (Talkin' a bull claim!)

Conductor T-Bone
Ghosts will soon come to your way
While you're rollin' at the fray

Blaze Brothers
You won't get us through your sway
You will never get your pay

You will pay tonight's our day, for all of Inkwell you've betrayed
That's why we all say

The Phantom Express
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT YOU PAY!

(Finally, defeating the conductor after his flurry of whatayatalk, whatayatalk, Cuphead and Mugman pushed and pulled to the next cart, in search for the contract. Bursting out of the next box, came the two fanged monsters known as the Blaze Brothers. With chaser and Spread, they're able to handle them at ease.)

Specters, monsters, creeps galore, oh so oogie,
Spiders, howlers, rotters, and then some creeapies

In this night, here comes a fright, a railroad boogie
It's the PHANTOM EXPRESS! no time for sleepies

Blaze Brother 1
What a fright, through the moonlit night

Blaze Brother 2
With a blazing light, we will win this fight

Blaze Brothers
So C'MON CUPHEADS, YOU SHALL JOIN US UNDEAD
C'MON NOW, AND TRY TO FINISH THIS OL GAME!

(Soon getting past the pack of undead, Cuphead and Mugman wheeled past the train to escape them. Meanwhile, as Cuphead and Mugman were fighting the Phantom Express, Ms. Chalice phased through the train to find the contract on her own. However, to her surprise, Blind Specter, T-Bone, and the Blaze Brothers approached her.)

Phantom Express
Frightening...
We are debtors oh so frightening...
Feats and powers oh so frightening...
They shall finally breathe their last

Ms. Chalice
Let me pass!

Phantom Express
We will blast!

?
NOT SO FAST!

The nightmare's just beginning. Meanwhile outside the train, Cuphead and Mugman pushed and pulled frantically, as the unimaginable happened...the Train...THE TRAIN ITSELF began to spring legs and move on its own. It sang in a most haunting voice.)

Head of the Train
YOOOU WILL NOT ESCAPE! YOUR CUPHEAD FATE! IT'S ALL TOO LATE!
WE'LL DEMONSTRATE! THE FRIGHTENING FREIGHT!

Phantom Express
RIGHT!

Head of the Train
YOOOU WILL NOT ESCAPE! YOUR CUPHEAD FATE! IT'S ALL TOO LATE!
WE'LL DEMONSTRATE! THE FRIGHTENING FREIGHT!

Conductor T-Bone (Overlapping)
Whatayatalk-whatayatalk, whatayatalk-whatayatalk
Whatayatalk-whatayatalk, whatayatalk-whatayatalk,
Whatayatalk-whatayatalk, Whatayatalk-whatayatalkin' bull!

Phantom Express (Overlapping)
Through the darkness of night, you will see something out of sight
The monsters gather round, from all across the underground
They're ready, they prepare, to CRUSH THIS CUPHEAD PAIR!

(Instrumental Interlude: Base string solo)

(As Chalice was dodging through all the arrays of attacks from the Phantom Express, Cuphead and Mugman soon found away to go through the steel of the train. Cuphead parried the blinking pink bulb of a tail, and noticed the heart...the very core of the train. Cuphead and Mugman reluctantly fired at the core part of the train. as the Train continued to sing.)

(Interlude End)

Head of the Train
You will not escape.
If it's contract that you want, come and face your destiny, you'll helplessly fight to you prevail
But to no avail, your fight with me will surely fail

I am the train's soul which came to life, for eternity, they turn to me, with helplessness and strife
They've made the deal, they've made the pact, and now I LIVE THROUGHOUT THE PATH~

The Phantom Express
You will not escape, your Cuphead fate, it's all too late
We'll demonstrate, the frightening freight, You Cupheads dare!

Head of the Train & (Blind Specter)
RIDING THE RAILS! Nothing but clothes on our backs, and our attacks, none come across this trail (Oooooo-ooooooo-ooooo-ooooo~)
The Undead will attack, the Undead train will soon prevail (Ooooo-oooh-oooh-oo-oo-oooooooo~)

THAT'S OUR DEAL! To ride these rails in harmony, and endlessly through the seas, conduct our ghost cacophony
You evoke our right, you evoke our peace, AND NOW IT'S TIME YOU FEEL MY WRATH~

Blind Specter & Blaze Brothers
You will not escape, your Cuphead fate, it's all too late
We'll demonstrate, the frightening freight!

Conductor T-Bone (Overlapping)
Whatayatalk-whatayatalk, whatayatalk-whatayatalk
Whatayatalk-whatayatalk, whatayatalk-whatayatalk,
Whatayatalk-whatayatalk, Whatayatalk-whatayatalkin' bull!

Head of the Train
FRIGHTENING FREIGHT!

Hunters of the dark, try to make your mark,
Mortals who would dare, shall soon meet our scare

Phantom Express & (Head of the Train)
Hunters of the dark, try to make your mark, (Hunters of the Dark, try to make your mark)
Mortals who would dare, shall soon meet our scare (Mortals who would dare...)

Head of the Train
OF THE PHANTOM EXPRESS!

Phantom Express & (Head of the Train)
ALL ABOARD~(CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!)

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

HEAD OF THE TRAIN: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(Soon, the Head of the Train began to shake, and shiver until it retreated back to the track, to the rest of the carts, as it shook, and shiver, and dizzily flop to the ground, coughing up what Cuphead and Mugman needed, as it flew blissfully up the sky. Mugman caught it...the Phantom Express' soul contract.)

MUGMAN: STOP THE CART!

(Mugman soon stopped the car as the two put the contract in their pocket, and retreated back to the dizzy Phantom Express.)

CUPHEAD: You ok, dude? Is everyone in the train OK?

HEAD OF THE TRAIN: OF COURSE WE'RE OK, YOU IDIOTS! WE'RE UNDEAD, WE CAN'T DIE, OR ANYTHING!

CUPHEAD: Riiiiiiiiiiiiight...I forgot.

(The Phantom Express only looked at them in pure hatred.)

HEAD OF THE TRAIN: So what comes next, boys? I assume you've taken everyone else' contract...and it's clear that you're well on your way back to the Casino. So tell me...what do you plan to do next? Sell our souls so the Devil can pardon yours, sell us out like everyone else thinks?

CUPHEAD: (Sighs.) I'm...at this point used to this...but I just want to know...WHY, Why is everyone so sure that we're gonna sell you out?

HEAD OF THE TRAIN: Hmmm...I wonder that myself...it does seem quite a m-BECAUSE YOU SOLD US OUT WHEN THIS WHOLE ORDEAL STARTED! And what makes us so sure that you won't do it again? You may have fooled Sally, and Dr. Khaul, but you can't move the Heartless. You'll screw up, and soon, we'll ALL be at risk. YOU CAN'T DERAIL FATE, SO SWEET TALK YOUR WAY OUT OF THAT ONE!

CUPHEAD: (Sighs) I...may as well just tell you what I told Dr. Kahl. You'll just have to wait and see. If there's no full way to convince you that we won't sell you out, then you're just gonna have to wait and see. After all...

MUGMAN: You'll get that opportunity soon enough. Now that we have all the contracts...

(Soon, phasing out was Chalice and the Blind Specter.)

BLIND SPECTER: I knew something was off...you decided to take them yourself, boss?

HEAD OF THE TRAIN: Was there any doubt?

MS. CHALICE: That's what you've been looking for? Seems like a crummy piece of paper.

MUGMAN: Yup, the Phantom Express' contract. May not look like it, but this crummy piece of paper is all that stands between us. We've got the last contract in Inkwell City.

CUPHEAD: Which means we've got all the contracts in Inkwell C-no...Inkwell Isle as a whole. This whole journey's almost over.

MS. CHALICE: So...you boys are dead set on facing the Devil, huh?

CUPHEAD: Yeah...now that our work in Inkwell City's done...we have to get these to him ASAP. That's...when we fight him. (Gulp) The thought of...fighting the Devil...fighting SATAN himself...kinda makes me nervous...

BLIND SPECTER: Ya'll wanna place a bet on if they'll win or lose, say I

PHANTOM EXPRESS: I

MUGMAN: Golly...

MS. CHALICE: Well those guys'll bet that you lose, I'll be the one routing for you through the afterlife, buddies! All of Inkwell Isle and the Kitchen Empire will be by you, guys! So good luck, and make that ancient evil PAY!

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: We will!

CUPHEAD: Mugs, what's the time?

(Mugman soon looked at the watch.)

MUGMAN: 11:48

CUPHEAD: Then we better get going. We don't have much time left...it's time, Mugs. Hilda, the Baroness...and ALL of Inkwell Isle...it all rests in our gloves now. It's gonna be one hell of a fight, Mugs...you with me?

MUGMAN: As always, Cup!

(Cuphead pulled his pants in determination, and Mugman drinks from his milk as a small drink...soon, the boys are ready.)

CUPHEAD: Then let's go. We've got a score to settle with the Devil and King Dice. To Inkwell Hell we go. I remember how we got there, in the beginning. Let's do it...for Inkwell Isle.

(Cuphead and Mugman began their walk out of Inkwell Bog, leaving the Phantom Express and the Ms. Chalice alone with themselves.)

BLIND SPECTER: Pfffft, it's ludicrous, bringing the fight to the Devil. They're gonna die.

T-BONE: Maybe if they do, they can join with us. We're always welcoming with the dead.

BLAZE BROTHER 1: Pfff, if our lives are determined by those porceline punks, then you can count me out of this charade.

BLAZE BROTHER 2: Agreed.

(With the mumbles and grumbles of the residents of the Phantom Express, the Head of the Train, with a sigh lowers his eyes and decides to sleep, knowing that that's most likely what he must do for the remaining of time...considering things will soon get crazy.)

MS. CHALICE: To think I've only known them for a short amount of time. Those guys really got that same spark their mom has. She, Grim, and Squire Kettle are lucky that they've got them in their lives...well afterlife for...her. Good luck out there...Cuphead...Mugman, I'm sure we'll meet again...someday.

(Soon, the curtains close with a big warm smile on Ms. Chalice's face. The scene transition ensues.

---

(The scene transition to...you've guessed it. Inkwell Hell. While the Devil looks at the window, overseeing all of Inkwell City, and the Casino. It was closing time, and the Casino was just about empty. King Dice, was cleaning up, as he looked at his watch in the Casino.)

KING DICE: It's 11:51...heheheh...let's hope that Cupface thought up a shortcut, because the clock is tickin' eheheh. Soon, that promotion is as good as mine! So don't screw it up, Cupface...D'AWW who am I kiddin' if anything, one of them debtors gave him a poundin' so good, HAHAHAHAHA!

(Soon, silence emanated the Casino, as the only sound heard...is the ticking of the casino clock in a rhythm that even King Dice wound dance to, as he sweeps the floor of the casino. The clock also ticks as nothing but silence emanates through the Devil's office as well. No sound in Inkwell Hell...except the very sound of a ticking clock.)

KING DICE: The clock's tickin' Cupface...so...what's gonna happen next? Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock

(Soon, as King Dice sings to his stopwatch...a simple...slow piano begins to play, in the same rhythm as the clocks ticking throughout Inkwell Hell.)

Inkwell Hell
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. King Dice, Devil, & The Captive Debtors

King Dice
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock

(Overseeing everything, watching everything...the Devil finally turns back to the captive debtors, and the clock, as he soon shows his shark-toothed smile...and he soon sings as the debtors look in worry.)

King Dice (Overlapping)
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock

The Devil
The clock's tickin' it's time to find some stars, find those stars~

King Dice (Overlapping)
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock

The Devil
The clock's tickin' it's time for those brothers in arms~

King Dice (Overlapping)
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock

The Devil
You debtors see...that soon those Cups belong to me~

King Dice (Overlapping)
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock

The Devil
You wanna be, you wanna be, you wanna be, free-ee-ee~
But you'll never be, you'll never be, you'll never be, free-ee-ee~

You've had your chance, you lost it all, and now it's time you debtors fall
You've prayed to God, he wasn't there, you debtors, forever are in my snare

So, any second...Inkwell Hell will greet the stars~ the casino stars~
So any second...we all will see those brothers in arms~

You soon will see, that Cuphead, all ya'll, you belong to me~

The Debtors of Inkwell Glade & Park
We wanna be, we wanna be, we wanna be, free-ee-ee~

The Debtors of Inkwell Glade & Park, & (The Devil)
We wanna be, we wanna be, we wanna be, (You'll never be, you'll never be, you'll never be...)

The Debtors of Inkwell Glade & Park, & The Devil
Free-ee-ee~

(Instrumental Interlude: Saxophone Solo)

King Dice (Overlapping)
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock

Tick-tock, Tick-tock, A ticketey-ticketey- tick-tock
A ticketey-tock, A ticketey-tock, A ticketey, ticketey, ticketey, ticketey...

(Soon the malicious song ended with a certain brown shoe stepping foot in Inkwell Hell, the very same time a piano ended on a malicious tone. King Dice looked in shock. It was them...Cuphead and Mugman...they pulled it off. They mashed those debtors good...and reached Inkwell Hell...a few minutes before their time was due. King Dice looked back at his stopwatch.)

KING DICE: 11:53...Well I'll be dammed...they really did pull it off. Which means...the bossman won the bet. Course...you probably already knew that, didn't ya...boss? Heh...as sleazy as always.

(With determined looks on their faces, Cuphead and Mugman soon approached the casino, narrowing their eyes, and their finger pistols locked and loaded. King Dice, however...only smiled.)

KING DICE: Heh. Well then...there's no shame in losin' and a demotion...but hey...before I get that demotion...well...y'know what they say: Go big...or go home.

(With a snickering smile on his face, King Dice got into position, and stood in front of the doors to the Devil's office. Soon, Cuphead and Mugman opened the door, looking back at the casino...the memories of them...of...Cuphead selling their soul, and making the deal. It brings back some...unpleasant memories.)

KING DICE: Well, well, well...look who finally decided to come back. Course you know this place DEFINITELY seems familiar, don't it?

CUPHEAD: Yep, and this time...we've come back, and we've finished our due.

KING DICE: I'll be the judge of THAT, Cupface. Let's see what we've got.

(Cuphead soon takes out the contracts of Rumor Honeybottoms, Captain Brineybeard, Cala Maria, Werner Werman, Dr. Kahl's Robot, Sally Stageplay, and the Phantom Express. A total of 7 contracts in their gloved hands. He soon gives them all to King Dice who looks intently. All of them...legit...and hell did it take allot of madness for it.)

KING DICE: Hehehe, congratulations boys, you've survived. You'll be sendin' them to the bossman yourselves.

MUGMAN: That's ALL the contracts, King Dice, does this mean we get to see the Devil, now, and get our souls back?

KING DICE: Of course! Ha-ha...IF that was the case, now, but uhhhhh...it's NOT the case.

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: WHAT?!

MUGMAN: BUT WE HAD A DEAL!

CUPHEAD: WHAT MAKES HIM THINK THAT HE CAN KEEP OUR SOULS, AFTER DOING ALL THIS!

KING DICE: Heheheheheheh...as much as I would LOVE that, the boss is a respectful man, and he'd love to make all deals with him pass through. However, I ain't the boss...now am I?

(Soon, an all too familiar set of drums begin to tap the base and a familiar base plays. The very same song played when they first met with King Dice.)

All Bets Are Off
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. King Dice & Chorus

CUPHEAD: Wait...YOU don't want us to see the Devil? Why?

(He soon...begins to sing.)

King Dice
I'm quite impressed, boys, why you fought those debtors good
Mighty impressed boys, I could've done it better if I could

However Cupface, you ain't seein' the bossman yet
You've pulled the deal off, but you've...made me lose a bet!

Cuphead & Mugman
WHAT!?

King Dice
What did I tell you, when ya found me?
I spoke these five words specifically

It's a golden rule, and ya broke it
'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: Jazz solo)

(Interlude End)

King Dice
I'm quite surprise boys, you've managed to piss me off
And when I'm pissed, I must insist, that all the bets are off

Just one more little gamble, just one more chance of fame,
You have no choice boys, C'MON! It's time to play a game!

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!

(Soon, the with a snap of a finger, King Dice flashed out the lights...evolving the stage in darkness. Everyone soon clapped at King Dice's performance...but the performance...oh, it's just begun.)

(Soon, the lights flashed on, bright and beautiful, blinding Cuphead and Mugman. Soon, they found themselves on a pool table, and King Dice, towering them. Dice appears to be holding a pair of shining purple die, as he throws them up and down. He soon hurls one of them on the game table.)

CUPHEAD: What's going on, Dice?

KING DICE: Why ain't it obvious, Cupface? We're gonna play a game, listen to some tunes, and have a damn good time. After all, I don't think I've quite introduced you to my staff yet...let's see, the dice rolled a one...soooo...TIPSY TROOP, GET DOWN HERE!

(Approaching Cuphead and Mugman were a group of 6. Three glass containers themselves, carrying alcoholic beverages. One was a male whisky bottle, another male was a rum bottle, and the a female was a slim martini glass, a stack of poker ships with eyes, dawning a cowboy hat, and the suit wearing Mr. Wheezy. They soon narrowed their eyes as Cuphead and Mugman narrowed their eyes. Soon...some familiar drums begin to slam at a fast pace.)

Cuphead (Reprise)
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. King Dice & Staff

KING DICE: Hehehe...I remember this song, alright. It's the song about you...Cuphead...

(Soon, King Dice's staff and himself began to sing. A brawl is surely brewin' and it's about to get ugly up in here. Cuphead and Mugman fired.)

King Dice's Staff
CUPHEAD!

King Dice
The one who made the bet and lost it all!

King Dice's Staff
CUPHEAD!

King Dice
He heard the Bossman's call!

King Dice's Staff
CUPHEAD!

King Dice
The game has started with a roll of a dice!

King Dice's Staff
CUPHEAD!

King Dice & Staff
Now it's time to pay the price!

King Dice
HIDEY-HO! the game has started,
All bets are off, I've gotta scoff, it's time to go all in!

There's no turning back, that ship has departed,
Now it's time to me show why the Bossman always sees ya win

King Dice's Staff
The bossman sits, his malicious wits, in the darkest pits
Drinkin' his wine

King Dice, Staff, (Mr. Wheezy, & Phear Lap)
The bossman sits, his malicious wits, in the darkest pits
NOW ALL ON THE LINE! (All is on the line!)

King Dice
Quite familiar, all familiar, member your first game?
You cups wouldn't lose, you were cruisin' through, your first ride to fame!

King Dice's Staff
You've gain the Boss's attention: King of Inkwell Hell
Soon the boss himself appeared, we had a time so swell!

King Dice
Hot DAMN, was he impressed!
Oh, we've never had a gambler pair to beat the best!

King Dice's Staff (Overlapping)
You played, the game, you went all in,
You rolled the dice, it was grim or win!

You went all in, you rolled the dice, and NOTHIN' made ya cups think twice,
It's ALL or nothin' a game worth play as you Cupheads bet your souls away!

King Dice
Oh, the dice was rolled
The die is cast, the Devil laughs
You Cupheads...LOST!

King Dice's Staff
CUPHEAD!

King Dice
He rolled the dice, alas he lost it all

King Dice's Staff
CUPHEAD!

King Dice
Ya heard Bossman's call

King Dice's Staff
CUPHEAD!

King Dice
The game has ended with the roll of a dice

King Dice's Staff
CUPHEAD!

King Dice & Staff
Now it's time they ya pay price!

(Shortly, the Cups defeated the Tipsy Troop, Chips Bettigan, and Mr. Wheezy as quick as day, in hope to get past King Dice's game. Cuphead soon rolled the die landing on a 3. King Dice soon brought out three more staff members. Pip N' Dot, Hopus Pocus, and Phear Lap, all too familiar faces. The fight continues.)

KING DICE: Havin' fun, boys?

MUGMAN: I just wanna get our souls back, Dice! Why do we gotta play these stupid games?!

KING DICE: Aww, complain, complain, complain all ya like, kids? In fact, complain and beggin' what made ya got into this predicament in the first place. Remember? Remind them for me, boys.

(After the drumroll ended, the three staff members continued the song through mimicking Cuphead and Mugman, as they only laugh at the two cups.)

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

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

Hopus Pocus
'PLEASE SIR! There has to be another choice to pay!'

Pip & Dot
'PLEASE SIR! ISN'T THERE ANOTHER WAY?!'

King Dice
HIDEY-HO! Now THAT was fun boys,
You made the seal, you sealed the deal, and now...here you are.

HIDEY-HO! Though you got it done boys,
You've made me mad, EXTREMELY mad, and now you boys ain't goin' far!

(Quickly Cuphead and Mugman were able to defeat the three staff members before them. King Dice picked them up and placed them in the audience. They were all too familiar staff members...yet...is this all King Dice could muster? The staff members on bench sung.)

Tipsy Trio, Chips Bettigan, Mr. Wheezy, Pip & Dot, Hopus Pocus, & Phear Lap
We've been beat, faced defeat, is this the end?

King Dice
Oh, not this time

Tipsy Trio, Chips Bettigan, Mr. Wheezy, Pip & Dot, Hopus Pocus, & Phear Lap
We've been beat, faced defeat, this game won't end...

King Dice & Staff
BECAUSE ALL IS ON THE LINE!

(Soon, King Dice brought out staff members that Cuphead and Mugman no doubt has seen all this time in their time at the Casino...excluding the Tipsy Trio of course. A golden humanoid ballerina whose tutu is the shape of a roulette wheel, an 8-ball with eyes and teeth, and a walking talking cymbal crashing toy monkey. They all began to sing their own verse, overlapping with each other.)

Saxophone Solo: Pirouletta
Fools~ you rush the roulette
Soon, zis game vill make you spin, and spin, and spin until you fall!

Odin, dva, tri, it is time you Cupheads dance with me
You've messed with King Dice, messed with Devil now you cups shall face ze level!

Bugle Solo: Mangosteen (Overlapping)
Awowowowoowowowowowowowo-WOAH!
WHOA, you will never go head to toe!

You try to hustle me, Cup? Tryin' to win this match up?
This ain't a winnin' match, gonna go big or go home!

Trumpet Solo: Mr. Chimes (Overlapping)
Monkey see and monkey do to you~ so poo to you!
You will never best this gamblin' crew!

Like a crane you souls are danglin' down, and you'll never take it back to town
It's a lose, lose, lose, lose, it's a losin' streak comin' to you!

King Dice & Staff
You cups won't make it to midnight, we'll play the game till dawn
It's a game of chess, you won't get the King, you cups are all but pawns

Saxophone Solo: Pirouletta
Fools~ I'm ze Rysar, Fools~ no chance
My moves~ I vill make, I will move, and move, and spin, and spin, so come und join my dance!

Bugle Solo: Mangosteen (Overlapping)
As a bishop I will impressed!
I've the magic, to truly beat even the best!

I'll go all in, in this game of pool, with magic I will beat you tools
It's ALL or nothing, in this game, you win or lose, IT'S ALL FOR FAME!

Trumpet Solo: Mr. Chimes (Overlapping)
Better fret right here, in this chessboard, I'm the gallant Rook
So listen to the music, I will make you shook!

The peacefulness of the symbol bliss, I'll never miss, the clash of this!
So time to pick a toy for home, in this craning challenge, down to bone!

(Finally...Cuphead and Mugman were able to defeat the singing trio, as they slumped down in dizziness. King Dice soon picked them up, and placed them back in the audience wing as the staff continues to sing once more.)

King Dice's Staff, (Chips Bettigan, Hopus Pocus, & Mangosteen)
CUP (Cuphead!) HEAD!

Tipsy Troop, Pip & Dot, Pirouletta, (Mr. Wheezy, Phear Lap, & Mr. Chimes)
The one who made the bet and lost it all! (The one who made the bet and lost it all!)

King Dice's Staff (Minus Mr. Wheezy, Phear Lap, & Mr. Chimes)
CUPHEAD!

Mr. Wheezy, Phear Lap, Tipsy Troop, (Chips Bettigan, Hopus Pocus, & Mr. Chimes)
He heard the Devil's call! (He heard his call!)

King Dice's Staff
CUPHEAD!
The game has started with a roll of a dice!

CUPHEAD!
Now it's time they pay the price!

(Instrumental Interlude: Drum Solo)

(Finally...it seems Cuphead has rolled to a 9. He's almost close to the end of this game...the Finish Line, if anything. However, Cuphead has found himself in a snag. One wrong roll, and he'll have to restart the game, if he lands on 'Start Over.' Cuphead needs to roll a 1 or a 3 to end this nightmare. Concentrating...Cuphead soon slowly parried the Dice. Both he and Mugman shivered in fear on where the dice will land...it lands on a 3! The chip lands on 'Fin' the moment the cymbals clashed.)

ANNOUNCER: Good day for a SWELL Battle!

(Something doesn't seem right. As King Dice smirked, Cuphead and Mugman prepared themselves for what's about to come.)

ANNOUNCER: YOU'RE UP!

(Taking Cuphead and Mugman by surprise, the immediate 'YOU'RE UP!' Came in...but with a THUMP slams down King Dice's hands. Cuphead and Mugman looked up to see King Dice smirking at the two Cups. They know what comes next...)

The King's Court
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. King Dice & Staff

King Dice
Come on now Cuphead, it's time to make your stand!
It's time you teacups tango with the-

(Snaps his finger)

King Dice's Staff
DEVIL'S RIGHT HAND MAN!

King Dice
I can't let you pass, cause you made me lose a bet!
So, now you see the gloves are OFF!

(Snaps his finger)

King Dice's Staff
THE KING IS NOW THE THREAT!

(Instrumental Interlude: Drum Solo)

(So, now the cups clash with King Dice himself. It seems there's no escape from him, as he sends his dancing cards towards the two cups. They've no choice but to parry through them as they keep firing both Chaser and Roundabout towards the crazy dice man, as the staff begins to chant during the drum solo.)

Don't mess with King Dice, hey! Don't mess with him!
Don't mess with King Dice, no! Don't mess with him!

Don't mess with King Dice, HEY! Don't mess with him!
Don't mess with King Dice NO! Don't mess with him!

C'MON!

(Interlude End)

King Dice & (Staff)
The sound of rollin' dice to me is music in the air (It's in the air!)
Cause I'm the gamest in the land and I don't play fair! (Don't play fair!)

Mr. Wheezy
So dapper, so clever, you know the dice is rollin!'

King Dice
HIDEY-HO!

Mr. Wheezy
You know this game is really unfoldin' now!

King Dice
Tick-tock, tick-tock, time is tickin' Cupheads one and two~
Better hope that Lady Luck is gonna give a call to you~

King Dice, Dot, Pirouletta, & Tipsy Troop
The boss is waitin' time is runnin' the game though' just begun~
Why can't ya see, you boys are stuck, your soulful life is done~

King Dice's Staff (Overlapping)
You played, the game, you had your fun,
You rolled the dice, BUT NOW YOUR LUCK IS DONE!

King Dice
DONE! So don't get cold feet, Mr. Cuppy, we won't be beat,
You will face defeat, and then you'll know

Who runs the show, and who's the bossman in control!
You've never had a chance, and never will, THE HOUSE IS ON A ROLL!

(Instrumental Interlude: Drum Solo)

(This fight seems endless, for it seems that Cuphead and Mugman are still getting a grasp at trying to hit King Dice. But soon...Mugman found a safer way to not only be away from harm, but to get a chance to hit him. Quietly as King Dice continued to draw his dancing cards, Mugman grabbed Cuphead's glove, and noticed that King Dice's other hand is blocking the cards from getting to them. An idea forms for the cups.)

King Dice's Staff
Don't mess with King Dice, hey! Don't mess with him!
Don't mess with King Dice, no! Don't mess with him!

Don't mess with King Dice, HEY! Don't mess with him!
Don't mess with King Dice NO! Don't mess with him!

(King Dice and his staff members, however was having too much of a blast to realize that Cuphead and Mugman found a safer way to deal with him.)

(Interlude End)

King Dice & (Staff)
I'M Mr. King Dice, heed just what I say
The Devil has a price, and I'll make sure you Cupheads pay! (You Cupheads pay)

I'VE no time to mess 'round, and I hope you will agree
Let this be your FINAL lesson: Don't you mess with me! (YEAH!)

(Instrumental Interlude: Drum Solo)

(It's not long now. They can feel that King Dice was close to defeat as he was only singing...having a hell of a time. Cuphead and Mugman are delivering to the so called 'King' his just desserts.)

King Dice's Staff
Don't mess with King Dice, hey! Don't mess with him!
Don't mess with King Dice, no! Don't mess with him!

Don't mess with King Dice, HEY! Don't mess with him!
Don't mess with King Dice...
DON'T DEAL WITH THE DEVIL!

King Dice
ACK!

Announcer
KNOCKOUT!

King Dice's Staff
CUPHEAD~!

(And SCENE!)

(As his head twirls and twirls in berserk, King Dice, to the staff's surprise fell and tripped back-first to the ground, making Cuphead and Mugman revert back to their normal size as they soon look down on Table 30...one last time. Narrowing their eyes, Cuphead and Mugman passed King Dice as he rose up from the ground.)

CUPHEAD: By the way...the Baroness sends her regards.

KING DICE: Heh...you play the game damn well, boys. I'll admire that. If only she played the game better.

CUPHEAD: I think we've done enough games for one lifetime. We're going to see the Devil...now.

KING DICE: Heh-heh...you wanna see the Bossman so badly? By all means. You boys took me out so easily. The boss...ain't gonna be so fortunate. So...let the games begin, Cupface.

(Mugman continued to walk to the hallways as Cuphead soon stood where is, without turning back to King Dice.)

KING DICE: So...Cupface...what's the plan? You're so antsy in seein' the boss. Makes me wonder...is there another angle to this...than fightin' him?

CUPHEAD: ...I'm gonna make one last deal with the Devil. A deal that'll do good for everyone.

(That was the last thing Cuphead says...before he exits to the hallways. King Dice only laughs and chuckles, unbeknownst to them, the Devil was watching the whole thing. King Dice only has one thing left to say...before all Inkwell Hell breaks loose.)

KING DICE: Now...THIS...is a game worth playing. Let's see who's gonna win...heheheh...

(The curtains soon close with King Dice's low chuckling...as one last scene transition is made. Everyone claps...the time is of the essence.)

---

(The curtain rises back to Cuphead and Mugman...facing two bright red double doors. The Devil's office...the two nodded in determination. They have the contracts to give to him, and they're ready...for one last battle.)

Bass Chorus
Ahhh~

Bass Chorus & Countertenor Chorus
Ahhhh~

Bass, Countertenor & Alto Chorus
Ahhhhh~

Bass, Countertenor, Alto, & Soprano Chorus
Ahhhhhhhh~

(As the chorus does their scale, Cuphead and Mugman only looks...nay...glare...at the man himself sitting on his bright red throne, in his empty office. His fur as black as ebony, his smile as wicked and wide as wicked and wide can be...and eyes, as blood yellow as the sun.)

Chorus
The DEVIL~

DEVIL: Well...well...well. Cuphead and Mugman, we meet at last. My...oh...my...look how far you boys have gotten. So...not only did you boys bust up my good for nothin' lackey, King Dice...but I see...you boys won back my soul contracts.

CUPHEAD: As agreed, Devil.

DEVIL: Yes...as agreed. Hand them over, and I'll be GLAD to hand over MY end of the bargain, and pardon your souls. Or...

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Or...?

DEVIL: Or...you hand over those soul contracts, forget your souls...and instead...join my team. You've got allot of power boys, power that I haven't seen in centuries. Join my team, and I help you unleash your full potential...

CUPHEAD: Not interested.

MUGMAN: Yeah!

DEVIL: BEFOREYOUOBJECT, You boys REALLY need to reconsider. Just think about it...workin' with me...why...you'll be given EVERYTHING you boys ever wanted...

(Their glare soon soften.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: Everything...?

DEVIL: Everything.

Feat. Chorus

(Soon drums begin to play...and the chorus sings as the Devil explains his proposition.)

DEVIL: Here in the Devil's casino...we get anything and everything we've ever wanted, and we also provide and give the less fortunate anything and everything we ever wanted. Just think about it boys...getting anything and everything you ever wanted...

Chorus & (Mezzo-Soprano Chorus)
Ahhhhhhhhhhh~ (Ahhhhhhh-ahhhhhh~)

Chorus
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~

DEVIL: What do ya say?

(Another deal with the Devil. Another possible lie. Cuphead and Mugman looked at each other...and soon narrowed their eyes at the Devil. No doubt they won't fall for it this time...not even Cuphead.)

CUPHEAD: Tempting...Devil, but no. No hesitations this time, it's a flat out no. Throughout my journey I kept wondering why everyone was...so mad at me, and...if I could even help them. But then, I realize why they're mad at me. It's because I dealt with a liar...someone who steered me the wrong way, and if you steered me the wrong way, then who's to say you won't do it to everyone else? Bottom line...after my journey, you can FORGET about being your pawn again.

MUGMAN: Yeah! We ain't gonna be your pawns, ANYMORE! It ends here, Devil!

DEVIL: ...Fine then. Course those last deals aren't so influential...I have one last deal...that you cups won't be denyin' anytime soon. But first...let me show you a little bit of magic...

(The Devil extended his clawed hand. Suddenly, as if wind caught up with the cups, all the contracts they collected blew out of their pockets.)

MUGMAN: NO!

CUPHEAD: YOU CHEAT!

DEVIL: Wait...wait...it gets even better.

(He levitated the contracts on chains. Soon...he worked his magic. To Cuphead and Mugman's surprise, with a combustion of flames, the debtors of Inkwell City appeared in his throne room in chains. That's not all...no, chains lowered, and to even more dismay to the two cups, the debtors of Inkwell's Glade AND Park were here too, shackled, circling around the room.)

DR. KAHL: I WAS BUSY TRYING TO REPAIR MIEN ROBOT, WHAT HAPPENED?!

SALLY STAGEPLAY: YOU GAVE HIM THE CONTRACT?!

CUPHEAD: No...he took them.

MUGMAN: CUPHEAD LOOK!

BARONESS VON BON-BON & HILDA BERG: CUPHEAD!

CUPHEAD: BARONESS, HILDA!

MUGMAN: So THAT'S where she disappeared to!

CUPHEAD: Everyone...all the debtors...they're all here...how did you do it?

DEVIL: Yeah...that's my magic, kiddos. Once you boys handed me the Inkwell Glade and Inkwell Park contracts, I was able to send these debtors right back here in my office. The contracts...heheh...are right here. With these babies, these debtors won't be leaving their place until...well...an eternity.

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: So...this is how things end. I always picture myself dead through hives...but shackled in the Devil's Office...how did I not see this coming?

WERNER WERMAN: I've always pictured mien death in ze hands of a cat.

CALA MARIA: (Crying) I'M TOO YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL TO BE TORTURED FOR ALL ETERNITY!

WEEPY: (Crying) S-S-SO AM I! B-B-B-BESIDES THE BEAUTIFUL PART!

MUGMAN: Golly...he's gotten everyone...Grim, Beppi, Ribby & Croaks, and even Djinni...how did you get caught, Djinni? We freed you from the Devil's clutch!

DJINNI THE GREAT: Hehe...it seems the Devil still found a way to find me, even without the lamp...which of course...is my contract.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Cuphead...you made your way out here...so did you...

(Cuphead nodded giving the Baroness a thumbs up. Bon-Bon sighed in relief.)

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Thank you...thank you Cuphead...

DEVIL: Ahem...if you're done with your little Twilight romance...I have one little thing left...that'll make you reconsider. Believe me when I say...he used to be MY property...can't believe it took him so long to finally show him self...ain't that right?

(Soon, one final chain lowered down another helpless debtor. Cuphead and Mugman looked in surprise at who appeared in shackles.)

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: ELDER KETTLE!?

(Elder Kettle...said nothing. He only lowered his head in disappointment.)

ELDER KETTLE: I used to be in the same dilemma as you...boys. Only this time...I was so foolish to deny his request...I didn't want to hurt anyone...and at the same time...I was too naive to let him take my soul...so I fled, with my soul contract at hand.

DEVIL: And here you are again, Kettleface. You should've done what your lil' boys did in the first place. You all forgot one important factor with me and your soul contracts...YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE DEVIL. You can run, and you can hide...but no matter what, you can never escape me. You can't escape fate, geniuses. It doesn't work like that.

CUPHEAD: Elder Kettle...you could've worked something out with us...why didn't you tell us?

ELDER KETTLE: I...didn't want you to think less of me...I was worried that yo-you would...harm me...if you knew about my dealings with the Devil.

MUGMAN: Golly, Elder Kettle...w-we would NEVER hurt you, deal or no deal.

CUPHEAD: Of course!

DEVIL: Yeah...you won't, but I will. Unless you want front row seats to their torture, you're gonna chose, Cuphead and Mugman. Join me...or watch as your loved ones...SUFFER.

(Everyone looked at Cuphead and Mugman in concern. This is it...this choice will determine what will happen next...for Inkwell Isle...for Cuphead and Mugman... Cuphead kept a straight face, and narrowed his eyes at the Devil.)

CUPHEAD: I admit, Devil...you're really driving a hard bargain aren't you? Putting our friends on the line of things?

DEVIL: You expected otherwise from me?

CUPHEAD: Yes. Because I know you, Devil. You're a being who can only inflict fear and torment on everyone around you for your game of chess. Well guess what.

MUGMAN: We aren't scared of you!

(Soon...the Devil only glared at them with shark teeth, and with cups in his eyes...waving a gavel crushing those cups.)

DEVIL: Three...times...three times you've spurned my offers...and now you have the gall to say you're not afraid of me? Heheheheh...let's just see about that...

CUPHEAD: Before we battle, Devil...if you're done trying to make YOUR propositions...I wanna make mine.

DEVIL: Oh?

(Mumbling is heard throughout the throne room, as everyone looked at Cuphead in confusion. Everyone including Mugman and Elder Kettle.)

MUGMAN: (Whispers) Cup...what are you doing?

(Cuphead spoke not a word...as the Devil smirked at the two cups in intrigue. Elder Kettle however...only looks in concern.)

DEVIL: Oh...now I'm interested. Go on...

CUPHEAD: Since we're about to battle, I want to...raise the stakes. Just like old times, Devil. If we win, then you give back everyone's soul, including mine and Mug's soul. Pardon EVERYONE, and let them go free.

DEVIL: And to what...Cuphead, will you be bettin?' you already gave me you and your brother's soul...does that mean...I'll be takin' both your freedom too? Just like these deadbeats? Hehehehehehehe...

CUPHEAD: Yes.

(Everyone grumbled in concern, shock, disappointment...and well...a certain someone.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: I knew it, I KNEW IT! You had the GALL to think that little cup is pure, Baroness? At the end of the day, he'll only stab us in the back... and his brother. Now he's doing it again, As. Expected.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: (Tears flowing down her eyes) Cuphead...w-what are you doing? I trusted you!

DEVIL: HEHEHEHEHEHE IT'S A D-

CUPHEAD: On one condition...however.

(Before the Devil shook Cuphead's hand...Cuphead continued his bargain.)

CUPHEAD: You let everyone including my brother free...and you won't put a single glove on them. In return, you take me. You keep my soul, AND my freedom. You can do whatever you want with me. ANYTHING.

(A shocking plot twist. Everyone in the throne room gasped in surprise. Cuphead is actually willing to give himself up...for everyone here, if he loses.)

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Oh...well then...that seems much better, now that I think about it.

ELDER KETTLE, BARONESS VON BON-BON, & MUGMAN: NO IT ISN'T!

MUGMAN: Cuphead...listen to reason here! I don't wanna lose you!

CUPHEAD: And I don't wanna lose you either, Mugs. That's why I'm making that deal. If I become the Devil's no good lackey, it'll be worthwhile, knowing that he won't be laying a hand on you or anyone else.

MUGMAN & ELDER KETTLE: Cuphead...

CUPHEAD: So...what do ya say, Devil?

(Cuphead extends his gloved hand in hoping that the Devil will grab it. Immediately, the Devil grabbed his hand, smirking...mischievously.)

DEVIL: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HELL YES! We've got ourselves a deal. So you'll be servin' my team like I always wanted. Such power...I won't be able to harm your good for nothin' friends,

CUPHEAD: Yep. You CAN'T hurt any of my friends, or loved ones.

DEVIL: I will, but uhhhh...let me tell ya, the wonders of plot holes in deals, huh? I won't be able to harm your friends, but HEY, with that hell of a power of yours, I'll be able to 'harm' ALL of Inkwell Isle! EVERYONE'LL soon know who's the true boss around here!

CUPHEAD: ...Oh right...I forgot.

THE DEBTORS OF INKWELL ISLE: YOU FORGOT?!

BEPPI THE CLOWN: YA DONE GOOFED AND IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY!

DEVIL: SILENCE! Now that we've got ourselves a deal...let's have some fun. HIT IT!

Admission to Perdition
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. The Devil, Elder Kettle, Chorus, & The Debtors of Inkwell Isle

(A piano riff suddenly plays, and soon...a chaotic tunes overwhelms the throne room. It looks like the Devil wants to fight...or at least...dance as it so seems he is doing as of now. Demons are preparing themselves, his trident in his hands, and all hell is about to break loose.)

DEVIL: HELL YEAH! NOW THIS IS MY JAM! A 5, 6, 7, 8!

(He begins to sing.)

The Devil & (Chorus)
We're gonna have fun...(IN HELL!)
WE'RE GONNA HAVE FUN! (IN HELL!)
No wait, I'll fun...(IN HELL!)
WHILE EVERYONE HERE BURNS! (IN HELL!)

The Devil
So~ welcome to my home~
It's time you all atone for the help you've spurned~

Hilda Berg
Dodo, dododo, dododododo, fight him for the team!

The Devil
See~ you belong to me~
I think it's agreed that the tide has turned~

Hilda Berg
Dodo, dododo, dododododo , end this hellish dre-e-eam~!

The Devil
Tick-tock, Tick-tock, you've had your chance, your time is up!
Three times you've turned me down, so now it's time I claim some cups

Some furniture, some silverware, or something I can kill or SMASH!
You've made the deal, you Welch on me, and you will get HELL OF A LASH!

So fear~ for the Devil's here~
Soon you'll disappear once I take your souls~ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

(With flames blasting, sending Cuphead and Mugman flying, it's clear they now see what they signed up for. However, unknown to them...they've got some support from all the debtors and Elder Kettle by their side. Cuphead and Mugman, amidst the flames can hear Elder Kettle singing.)

Elder Kettle
Come on, my teacups, you can bash him up,
Use your great attacks, there's no turning back,

Elder Kettle & Cala Maria
You tamed the calmest waves, and now it's time you save
Through the ocean blues, we believe you!

(Soon, Cuphead and Mugman, gaining support from all the debtors, narrowed their eyes, and fought back against the Devil, as every debtor in Inkwell Isle can only cheer for them while they're shackled in chains.)

Psycarrot, Moe-Tato, & (Weepy)
End this crummy show! (For the, Root Pack)

Wally Warbles
You two are too cuckoo if you think to best he, BUT WE'LL SEE~

Dr. Kahl
Flying at ze fray, show him disarray
Notzing more zan screams, end it for you und me!

Baroness Von Bon-Bon
So get steady, it's time to get ready, try to take those cups so sweet!
It's a cavity greet and it's liberation we'll sure to me meet

Dr. Kahl
Cuphead must survive, for Inkvell to thrive
Bring so much pain, BY YOUR BRAWN AND BRAINS!

Cagney Carnation
Those cups are gonna lawn-mow you
Those cups are gonna weed-whack you

Just know you're gonna get so humbled
And the casino's sure to crumble

Those Cupheads are gonna pick ya
Those Cupheads are gonna snap ya!

Rumor Honeybottoms
The hive stirs, the honey blurs, the Cups will get you my good sir!

Goope Le Grande
Be the slime
Be devine
Be sublime!
ALL ON LINE!

Grim Matchstick
I know that you're rough and tough, and it's true, you're scary too!
But I know that they're rough enough to beat you, and stop you!

Ribby & Croaks
They're the toughest of the tough! They can't be beat, you'll see defeat!
Oh, they're the toughest of the tough! They WON'T be beat, YOU'LL SEE DEFEAT!

Sally Stageplay
En garde, Devil, your time is up!
They've a declaration, so come square up!

It's the end of the act, last moment on stage
As you face the very might of red and blue rage!

With all their might, they're gonna fight!
So all or nothing, the climax comes TONIGHT!

The Devil
Are you done?

Sally Stageplay
Yes, I am.

Captain Brineybeard
Why those Cupheads, they be standing tall
And they'll give the Devil such a brawl!

The Devil & (Djinni the Great)
Can't you see~ (Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na,)
You belong to me~ (Na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
I think it's agreed, just who's in control~ (If ya haven't noticed, we've nothing...)

The Devil & Djinni the Great
Fear~

The Devil
For the Devil's here~
You'll soon disappear, once I claim your souls~

The Debtors of Inkwell Isle & (Beppi the Clown)
You may have control here, but we'll (Upsy, daisy, topsy, turvey) never be ensnared
They've the greater power we'd (Kooky crazy, utter absurdity) ever even dared

We won't swoon and we won't sway, (A kerfuffle, throne room shuffle!) we're sinners with a dream
We'll swing and sway our freedom days, THE SOUND OF CHEERS AND SCREAMS!

Conductor T-Bone
SO!

The Phantom Express & (Werner Werman)
What a fright, through the moonlit night (Your fire und magic can't hurt me, defeat is for certain you'll soon see)
With their light, they'll win this fight (Our freedom ensured will give us GLEE!)

What a fright, through the moonlit night (Your fire und magic can't hurt me, defeat is for certain you'll soon see)
With their light, THEY'LL SET THINGS RIGHT! (Our freedom ensured will give us GLEE!)

(Instrumental Interlude: Piano & Saxophone Solo)

(Finally with all the encouragement needed, Cuphead and Mugman were blissfully fighting the Devil and dodging all the attacks he's dishing out. Meanwhile the entire throne room is completely echoing arguments, protests, and bantering of the debtors of Inkwell Isle...so much that the Devil couldn't even hear his own malicious thoughts. Soon...he had enough, blasting fire throughout the throne room, sending Cuphead and Mugman flying back. He. Was. Angry.)

(Interlude End)

The Devil
THAT'S ENOUGH! You think you're tough?
You think you're rough? Think you've got the stuff?

You think you're swell? In case you can't tell...
YOU ALL FELL! YOU'RE IN MY HELL!

YOU'RE IN MY HELL! YOU'RE IN MY HELL!
YOU'RE IN MY HELL! YOU'RE IN MY HELL!

YOU'RE IN MY HELL! YOU'RE IN MY HELLLLLL-AHHHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

DEVIL: DAMN! That felt GOOD AS HELL! HOT DAMN! WHOOO!

(It doesn't even seem like Cuphead and Mugman even dented him much. The Devil soon smirked at Mugman in particular.)

DEVIL: So...Cuphead...let's even the playing' field a bit.

(Immediately, the Devil extends his arm and snatches up Mugman with his massive beast like arms, constricting him in his fists.)

CUPHEAD: MUGMAN!

DEVIL: HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA! Seems scared yet? Oh...you will be after I decided upon what to do with this little prig. I've ALLOT of ideas in my head...maybe...turn him into my own minion...to...I dunno...use him against you? Or maybe...I can pardon ya'll and keep HIM in hell where I can torture, and torture...and TORTURE him for all eternity!

CUPHEAD: NO!

ELDER KETTLE: LEAVE HIM OUT OF THIS!

DEVIL: Not a chance kettleface, your boys started this fight. And now...I'm ending it. If you PATHETIC cups really think you're hot shit, then come...come down here, and face me...man to man...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

(The Devil soon leaped out of his body as if it was some sort of coat, and jumped down a hole, with Mugman in his skeletal grip. Cuphead narrowed his eyes.)

CUPHEAD: Hell itself is down there...Mugman...

BARONESS VON BON-BON: CUPHEAD! Whatever happens down there, just know that WE'LL BE HERE FOR YOU TO THE VERY END!

RIBBY & CROAKS: YOU GOT THIS BOYS!

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: Just don't die...which I have quite the feeling that you will.

CUPHEAD: (Smirking) Don't worry...I won't. Now...it's time to end this game.

(Cuphead soon jumps through the hole as Elder Kettle only looked in worry.)

ELDER KETTLE: Cuphead...please be careful...

One Hell of a Time
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Cuphead, Mugman, The Devil, & Chorus

(Falling down below to the deepest underground, Cuphead soon notices that he was surrounded in darkness. No sign of Mugman OR the Devil...or at least...not yet. Soon, a flashlight fell down to Mugman, shackled in fear.)

MUGMAN: CUPHEAD!

CUPHEAD: MUGMAN! Are you OK?!

MUGMAN: I'm fine! You've gotta get ready. The Devil's about to-

DEVIL: Heheheheh...

MUGMAN: (meekly) Come...?

(Cuphead tucked his pants in in determination for what comes next. A jazzy tune played in the background...which means...a brawl...is surely brewing...one last time. Soon...bright yellow eyes popped out from the darkness...the Devil sings.)

The Devil
Get ready...
For dread...
Cause I WILL TAKE YOUR HEADS~!

(Barreling fourth is the Devil...this time, he was crimson red, and his teeth as sharp as a shark. It's clear that this time, he means business. It doesn't mean Cuphead is afraid...he attacks the Devil as Mugman and the chorus sings.)

Mugman
Come on, come on, you can do it! Go-go, go-go, you can win this!
Come on, come on, go-go, Cuphead, take a stand, for the land!

Mugman, Chorus, & (The Devil)
Come on, come on, you can do it! (IT'S TIME!) Go-go, go-go, you can win this! (IT'S TIME!)
Come on, come on, go-go, Cuphead, (THIS TIME)

The Devil
ALL IS REALLY ON THE LINE~!

(Powering himself, and through concentration despite everything that was going on, Cuphead soon...did the first move, summoning the 3rd of the Kitchen Empire Art, what he first used on the Specter Syndicate. He summoned his ghost while singing, giving the Devil a swirling bonk on the head, giving him a smile.)

Cuphead
I am not afraid of you, temptation won't avail
I will end this fraughtful quest, I'LL FIGHT AND I'LL PREVAIL!

The Devil
Don't you disrespect me, when you're wallowed up in here
We'll see who is the bigger man, and who will soon show fear

You broke my deal, now I'll break you, my cuppy little toys
FOR ALL WHO DARE OPPOSE TO ME, ARE BETTER OFF DESTROYED!

(Time was up. Cuphead's ghost disappeared, and his heart returned back into his chest. Immediately Cuphead, began firing once more to fill up his meter back to full. He continued firing with all he could muster, and hammed out on the Devil's face.)

Mugman & Chorus
Come on, come on, you can do it! Go-go, go-go, you can win this!
Come on, come on, come on Cuphead, take a stand, for the land!

Come on, come on, you can do it! Go-go, go-go, you can win this!
Come on, come on, Come on, Cuphead, for Inkwell, GIVE HIM HELL!

The Devil
SO STAND UP ya sinners, for I've got you cups at last~
You can't get away, you're gonna pay, you can't escape the past

Cuphead
I know I ran before, but this time I won't run away
This time I won't stray away

The Devil
THIS TIME YOU WILL MAKE THE PAY AND FAST!

(As Cuphead was firing at the Devil's head...he soon noticed, the Devil's smile was taken RIGHT off his face, and was replaced with a sharp toothed frown of agitation. He seems to be wearing him down...but it didn't stop the Devil from attacking.)

The Devil
Listen to me one and all, the Devil soon will pay a call
I won't be scolded while you call, BOILING in my boiling halls!

I am SATAN, Prince of Darkness, greater power I have harnessed
You will NEVER see the light, as I bust you Cupheads outta sight!

My rage, it be boilin' as you Cupheads walk and fight and soilin'
Evoking anger comes your tomb, and all Inkwell will soon see doom!

I ain't one to mess around, all HELL will flow throughout the town
As all your 'loved ones' cry and frown, ALL INKWELL WILL BE COMIN' DOWN TO HELL!

Cuphead
Light will come this way, together we will save this day,
All debtors finally get a say, they'll soon be free, and you will pay

I know I've sinned, I know I've gambled, I know I've started this fraughtful adventure
But I will see it to the end, save Inkwell Isle from your torture

Mugman, Bon-Bon, Elder Kettle, for them, this score I will settle
Journey ends, save my friends, FIGHT TILL THE EN-END~

Mugman, Chorus, & (The Devil)
Come on, come on, let's go! (YOU'LL CRACK!)
Come on, come on, go-go! (YOU'LL BREAK!)
Come on, come on, Cuphead! (YOU'LL BEND!)

The Devil
AND YOU WILL MEET YOUR END!

(With his meter filling up again, Cuphead soon went for the attack...using the very 1st Kitchen Empire Art. Just like he did with Ribby & Croaks, Cuphead fired a powerful stream of energy from his cup, at maximum power. He soon dropped to the ground, and continued firing to fill up the meter again.)

Cuphead & (Mugman)
I know I've sinned, I know I've gambled, I know this venture started with me! (CUPHEAD!)
But I will see it to the end, save Inkwell Isle from your torture (CUPHEAD!)

Mugman, Bon-Bon, Elder Kettle, and everyone else, I'll set them free! (CUPHEAD!)
Journey ends, save my friends, FIGHT TILL THE END, END THIS VENTURE!

Mugman, Chorus, & (The Devil)
Come on, come on, you can do it! Go-go, go-go, you can win this! (Come on CUPHEAD, You're gonna die!)
Come on, come on, come on Cuphead, take a stand, for the land! (Come CUPHEAD, it's time to say goodbye!)

Come on, come on, you can do it! Go-go, go-go, you can win this! (Come on CUPHEAD, it's time you pay!)
Come on, come on, Come on, Cuphead, for Inkwell, GIVE HIM HELL! (Cause your debt with me IS COMIN' DUE TODAY!)

(Finally, after one last hit, the Devil suddenly groaned in pain once again. Taking Cuphead and Mugman by surprise...the Devil suddenly began...crying? On top of this, Cuphead has one last platform as poker chips flew down...it's all or nothing as the chorus sings.)

Bass Chorus
Ahhhh~

Bass & Baritone Chorus
Ahhhhh~

Bass, Baritone, & Tenor Chorus
Ahhhh~

Male Chorus
Ahhhhh~

Male & Alto Chorus
Ahhhhh~

Male, Alto, & Mezzo-Soprano Chorus
Ahhhhh~

Mugman
COME ON CUPHEAD, END THIS NOW!

(Quickly, his meter filled back up, utlizing both parrying and shots. He used the Second Kitchen Empire Art, the very thing he first used towards Rumor Honeybottoms. To dodge all the poker chips flying out, Cuphead now glows in a shimmering bright light, invincible to everything around him.)

Cuphead
Light will come this day, you will pay this day!

Cuphead & Mugman
We shall sing with glee, we shall soon be free!

Cuphead, Mugman, & Chorus
I (He) had lost it all, but YOU AND THIS CASINO WILL
FALL~

(After utilizing everything that he has learned throughout his journey...he's finally done it.)

ANNOUNCER: KNOCKOUT!

DEVIL: (Groaning) GAH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AYE-YE-YE!

(Cuphead, smirked knowing that no doubt...he has defeated the Devil)

CUPHEAD: Checkmate. This time...WE win this game.

DEVIL: (Dizzily, as his eyes swirled and swirled.) Y-y-yep...I think you boys are tougher than I thought...

CUPHEAD: SO READY TO CALL A QUITS?!

(Cuphead soon aims his hand at the Devil, threateningly as the Devil shook his head frantically and frightfully.)

DEVIL: Y-YES! YES! I'LL DO WHAT YOU WANT, J-J-JUST DON'T HURT ME!

CUPHEAD: Good. In that case, we shall happily accept you surrender, Devil. Now...about our deal...

DEVIL: Fine...FINE! I-I-I'll let all the debtors go! I'll pardon EVERYONE'S SOUL! I-INCLUDIN' YOURS!

CUPHEAD: (Pondering.) Ah, AND...you need to close down the Casino.

DEVIL: CLOSE IT DOWN?! B-B-HOW WILL THE STAFF GET PAID!?

(Cuphead soon aims his finger at the Devil threateningly, once more. In fear, the Devil soon raised a white flag.)

DEVIL: ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! T-The casino will go outta business! Just for your sake! Now p-p-please...don't hurt me!

(The chains holding Mugman soon relinquished itself, freeing the Mug, as he regroups back to Cuphead's side. They soon smirked at the Devil...who is looking at Cuphead and Mugman in fear.)

CUPHEAD: Looks like the shoe's on the other foot now, huh, Mugs?

MUGMAN: All that talk about inflictin' fear on others, and here he is fearing us. The Devil's nothing more than a big bully. I'm proud of ya, Mugs. Though it was reckless to make a deal with the Devil again, You really blossomed into a new cup after this journey.

CUPHEAD: Well...once I got to know the debtors...I kinda feel like, they were in our boots...kinda. The Devil influenced them through either fear, or temptation. Now that I realized just what I was walkin' in to, somebody's gotta show them to stand up for the Devil.

MUGMAN: Agreed. So...what now?

CUPHEAD: We need to get up there and free everyone. Hmmmm...

(Cuphead soon looked down at the bubbling lava just below them. That...gave Cuphead an idea.)

CUPHEAD: Hot dog...and I mean...HOT dog, Mugs...I think I know how we can free everyone from the Devil's contract...for good.

MUGMAN: Hot dawg, you do?!

CUPHEAD: And how! You have enough for a blast, Mugs?

MUGMAN: I never used an Art since I got captured, of course I do!

(Mugman soon leaned down, as Cuphead took from his cup a rope. He soon tied himself and Mugman up, with Mugman facing the ground. They both nodded in determination. They're about to do something.)

CUPHEAD: THEN TAKE US UP!

MUGMAN: AYE-AYE, CAPTAIN!

(Immediately with a BOOM, Mugman blasted his energy stream, making the tied up duo zoom in the air, flying through the darkness of Hell...and soon, flied towards the hole, resting on the ground.)

(Back on the surface, silence emanated the room, as the debtors were still shackled to the ceiling.)

CALA MARIA: Bother...I don't hear anything!

PSYCARROT: What happened?

WEEPY: ARE THEY OK!?

MOE-TATO: We haven't heard anything...and the Devil's crying suddenly stopped!

ELDER KETTLE: Oh dear...what on earth is happening down there?

BLIND SPECTER: Are they dead? If so, then we better get some room in there, boys.

BLAZE BROTHER 1: They can sleep in our room.

BLAZE BROTHER 2: Of course, we uh...need to just tidy up, but I'm sure we can welcome some new arrivals.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Cuphead...Mugman...

(Suddenly to the debtors' surprise, the earth began to shake, the room began to quake, everyone looks frantically around, knowing that something is going on.)

CAGNEY CARNATION: WHOA-WHOA! WHAT IN THE NAME OF CAMPANAS DEL INFIERNO IS GOING ON?!

BEPPI THE CLOWN: EARTHQUAKE?!

ELDER KETTLE: THE CASINO'S GOING TO COLLAPSE!?

HILDA BERG: BUT WE'RE STILL SHACKLED UP HERE! HOW ARE WE GONNA GET OUT?!

GRIM MATCHSTICK: W-W-W-WE'RE GONNA DIE!

WALLY WARBLES: DAMMIT! I wasn't expecting to die in a place like this! Maybe death through dynamite down, down in the canyons, BUT DYING IN INKWELL HELL IS THE LAST PLACE FOR A HIGH FLYER LIKE ME TO DIE IN!

CUPHEAD & MUGMAN: IT'S NOT AN EARTHQUAKE!

(Suddenly, blasting up from the hole comes Cuphead and Mugman, taking all the debtors by surprise. Finally, as Mugman's super Art wears off, the two cups fell to the ground, and landed on their feet with such grace, untied, and hands up as if they gave everyone a performance...to which they did.)

ELDER KETTLE & BARONESS VON BON-BON: CUPHEAD! MUGMAN!

GOOPE LE GRANDE: HOLY GLOP, THEY'RE ALIVE!

RUMOR HONEYBOTTOMS: (Smiling in surprise)...Well I'll be damned...they actually pulled it off.

(Werner however skeptically looked around frantically.)

WERNER WERMAN: ...Zose two Cups are back...but vere is ze Devil?

DEVIL: (In pain.) Here...

(Suddenly, appearing in his throne, the Devil came in, bruised and battered and bandaged with an ice pack on his head, as he waves a white flag in pain.)

DEVIL: God, I need some fucking aspirin. Could ya be a pal and lend it to me?

(Pridefully, Cuphead and Mugman stood in front of the Devil in triumph.)

CUPHEAD: As you can see, we were able to defeated the Devil, fair and square.

MUGMAN: And in doing so, he needs to honor our end of the bargain. Devil, if you may...?

DEVIL: Yeah, yeah...whatever...ow!

(With a snap of a finger, and a wince of pain, the shackles of ALL the Debtors soon disappeared, and in place comes everyone's soul contract, flying throughout the room. Cuphead and Mugman soon collected them all.)

CUPHEAD: But we're not done here. C'mon, Mugs.

MUGMAN: Right-o!

(Just as fire roared throughout the room during the previous battle in the throne room, Cuphead and Mugman threw all the contracts in the hellfire. With a triumph look on their faces, the contracts of everyone's...Hilda Berg, Baroness Von Bon-Bon...Elder Kettle's...all their soul contracts, they've been soon reduced to ashes. Everyone soon looked in surprise as Cuphead and Mugman's action.)

DR. KAHL: Burning ze contracts in ze hellfire...WHY DIDN'T I ZINK OF ZAT?!

GRIM MATCHSTICK: I...I can feel...well I don't know what I feel...but I don't feel the Devil in me anymore!

PSYCARROT: Our eternal servitude for the Devil...i-it's finally over!

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: Like a weight...like an anchor's been lifted off of me! Why...I..I feel I can do just about anythin' now! Without fear of the Devil! W-why I can even do this!

(Taking everyone, SPECIFICALLY Cala Maria by surprise, Captain Brineybeard pulled the mermaid in with a kiss on the lips. He soon pulled her out. Needless to say that Cala was all but flabbergasted. Brineybeard looked at her nervously.)

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: (Chuckles nervously) Hehehe...uhhhhh...I can't say I know what came over me...heheh...

CALA MARIA: (Shocked) C-Captain!

(Brineybeard lowered his head, in disappointment.)

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: I...I be sorry...Cala...like I said...I don't know what came o-

(Immediately, Cala Maria retorted with a small kiss on Brineybeard's cheek, making the Pirate swell up as red as his bandanna.)

CALA MARIA: What mattered to me was...it was sincere. No toon has ever shown there sincerity with me...I like it...thank you.

CAPTAIN BRINEYBEARD: I-I-I...AYE-AYE!

(As Brineybeard was laughing nervously, and Cala Maria looking sweetly at the Captain, Dr. Kahl was soon met with Cuphead, carrying a certain something he wants.)

DR. KAHL: ...Vat is it?

CUPHEAD: Found it in his stash, Some grade A Toontonium. All yours.

(Dr. Kahl looks at Cuphead in confusion...and sincerity.)

DR. KAHL: You...actually remembered?

CUPHEAD: Of course! Should be enough to power your robot, right? How much will it last?

DR. KAHL: Considering zat I wasted all zat Toontonium power JUST to attack you...soooo...I'd say zis should last long enough. Zank you...Cuphead...it...vell is nice of you to remember your bargain.

CUPHEAD: Of course!

(Soon, as everyone talked amongst themselves, and as the Devil was sitting miserably in his throne, Cuphead regrouped with Elder Kettle, and Mugman who was once again holding the Bodiless Baroness once again.)

CUPHEAD: It's been so long since I've seen you being held by Mugs, Bon-Bon.

BARONESS VON BON-BON: Yeah...we've had quite the wacky adventure through Inkwell Isle, huh?

HILDA BERG: Hey, you got lucky. I wasn't even there to help you guys...

MUGMAN: It's OK, Hilda! You're still our friend, of course!

HILDA BERG: (Chuckles) I...suppose so.

ELDER KETTLE: So, my little teacups...is the adventure finally over?

MUGMAN: It seems like it!

CUPHEAD: Not...quite...

(Soon, giving out a sharp whistle, everyone suddenly stopped what they're doing, and turned to Cuphead.)

DEVIL: As if my eardrums weren't broken enough already with all this commotion.

CUPHEAD: Attention, everyone! Your eternal servitude for the Devil is FINALLY over! No longer will you all be his property! You're your own property! Your debt for the Devil has finally ended, and he won't be bothering us again!

MUGMAN: And y'know what that means? A CELEBRATION!

ELDER KETTLE: Sounds fair!

BEPPI THE CLOWN: WHOOO-HOOO, A PARTY! NOW THAT'S MY KINDA LIFE!

CAGNEY CARNATION: Oh yeah...tell in my ear some more, why don't ya?

(Suddenly out of nowhere, Djinni seats the Cups on his magic carpet, with a sweet smile on his face.)

DJINNI THE GREAT: I say we form a parade! For all Inkwell Isle to know that YOU boys...are the heroes here! Shine a bit of light in the cloud that we've been so used to seeing, he?

SALLY STAGEPLAY: A parade? That sounds like a great idea!

HEAD OF THE TRAIN: I suppose the train's gotta go first while the two Cups ride throughout the city on that carpet of theirs.

---

(Soon, the scene transitioned to everyone outside of the Casino. everyone got into position. With Cuphead, Mugman, and the Bodiless Baroness riding the carpet, everyone arranged themselves from the debtors from Inkwell City in the front, to the debtors of Inkwell Park in the middle, and the debtors of Inkwell Glade in the back. As King Dice and the Devil look out the window in defeat, everyone prepared to march.)

Winner Takes All
Lyrics by Mingler45567
Feat. Cuphead, Mugman, Elder Kettle, & The Debtors of Inkwell Isle

CUPHEAD: Is everyone ready?

THE DEBTORS OF INKWELL ISLE: YEAH!

CUPHEAD: OUT OF THE TUNNEL AND TO INKWELL CITY!

(Soon, everyone got marching. As they were marching through the dark tunnels, they noticed the light of the tunnel heading their way. It was the light of Inkwell City. Daytime has arisen at last, rather than the darkness of night. The Phantom Express sees the light. Drums beat on cue of the Train roaring.)

HEAD OF THE TRAIN: CHOO! CHOO! CHOOOOO-OOOO!

(At break neck speed, flying out of the tunnel came Cuphead and Mugman, taking a grand view of Inkwell City. They soon sing high and loud as the parade begins.)

(Mugman, Baroness Von Bon-Bon,) & Cuphead

The Debtors of Inkwell Isle

(Soon, everyone in Inkwell City gathered around out of their houses, hearing the good news that has ensued throughout the land. It seems it's time to rejoice. Everyone gathered around, from the Specter Syndicate, to the audience of Inkwell Theater. From the Mythos of Inkwell Keep, to Jelly the Octopus on the Airship, from the Inkwell shores with Brineybeard's Crew and the Krustacean Nation and the Fishman Federation, to the busy bees and customers of the Hive Resort.)

Cuphead

(Finally, as the citizens of Inkwell City follows the celebration, the parade is now taken to the already festive Inkwell Park. The Citizens soon look up to see such festivities. From the sweet subjects of Sugarland, ruled by Gingerbread Girl, to the singing birds of Inkwell Canyon, to the playful and festive toys of Beppi's funfair, to the clowns and performers of all Inkwell Park. Everyone was astonished to the point of...just cheering!)

(Finally, as everyone from Inkwell Park and City followed the flying carpet, our heroes along with the parade finally approached their home, in Inkwell Glade. Everyone was expecting them, for they all cheered immediately as the parade came forth. To their old friends Porkrind and Canteen Bottle, to the flies of Nightfly Night Club. To the singing flowers of Inkwell Creek, to the Woodland critters of Woodpecker's Willow. To the high flying toy airplanes of the Inkwell Observatory, to the blooming and dancing flowers of Inkwell Forest, everyone gathered around and gave it up for Inkwell Isle's heroes, as Elder Kettle only smiled as he backed away from the parade.)

(Instrumental Interlude: Saxophone Solo)

(As everyone celebrated throughout all of Inkwell Isle, Elder Kettle soon turned back to everyone on the stage, as he nodded his head.)

ELDER KETTLE: And there you have it...that...was the story of my dearest son, Cuphead. After all that has happened, you won't expect Cuphead and Mugman to get into anymore trouble again. They have truly bloomed into greater role-models to all. Though of course...I can't say it's the end of trouble, for Cuphead and Mugman do get into trouble time and time after these events...but that's another story for another time. For now...remember...our story. For this...is what happens...when you deal with the Devil.

Cuphead & (Cast)
So everybody let's give a cheer! (YEAH!)

Mugman & (Cast)
AND LET OUR STORY SPREAD! (HURRAH!)

Cuphead, Mugman & (Cast)
