Going against the official rules of Mario Kart and not caring, Kirby and Captain Falcon each drove a kart down Mount Wario. "Yeah! Ride 'em, cowboy!" Kirby shouted.
As they reached the bottom of the mountain, Captain Falcon kept laughing and laughing which made Kirby glare at him in annoyance. "That was fun," Captain Falcon said after he stopped laughing. He then frowned, showing that he felt sorry for being obnoxious.
Karting down the mountain had brought them to Cuphead's house. Kirby decided to head in to ask if the Gunner would like to join them. "Hey, Cuphead, you wanna go Mario Karting?" Kirby quickly noticed that Cuphead was motionlessly sitting on the floor, which he thought was a little odd. "Cuphead?"
"Hello, acquaintances. Enjoying the outside world?" Cuphead asked in a monotone voice.
"Why are you sitting in the middle of the floor like that?" asked Kirby.
"I simply decided that I'm never leaving my house again for absolutely no reason!"
"That's crazy talk!" Kirby suddenly lashed out.
"That's not crazy talk," corrected Captain Falcon. "THIS is crazy talk. 'The rest of Fighters Pass 2 should be characters from Fortnite, Digimon, Yo-Kai Watch, Five Nights at Freddy's, and Fallout 76,'" he added.
Kirby and Cuphead both gasped. "Don't even joke about stuff like that, Captain Falcon," they said together.
"Sorry. So, what's this about you not leaving your house?"
"I was wrong to go against nature. I'm a cup. What was I thinking? Walking… My people are sedentary."
"You're not a cup. You just have a cup for a head," Kirby interjected.
"Oh, close enough."
"Also, you just contradicted yourself," added Captain Falcon. "You said you were staying inside for absolutely no reason, but you just gave a reason."
Cuphead wasn't sure what to say now. Nervous, he decided to change the subject. "Hey, guys. Look at these new friends I made," he said while gesturing towards three amiibo on the floor in front of him. They were a Mii Swordfighter, a Mega Man, and a Falco. "This is Penny, and Chip, and say "Hello" to UsedNapkin."
Kirby and Captain Falcon were both starting to get baffled. "And why do you need to make friends with some amiibo?" asked Kirby.
"Because otherwise I'd get too lonesome. Don't you guys understand that I'm serious about staying inside forever?"
"What?!" shouted Captain Falcon. "You are?"
"Yes! I'm never leaving my house again." After picking up the Mega Man amiibo, Cuphead said "Chip, would you mind showing these two to the door?" before throwing it at the door, which made it open.
Able to tell that Cuphead didn't want them around, Kirby and Captain Falcon headed out the door. "Thank you, Chip," Captain Falcon said before shutting it. "Well, that was super weird. Wanna go down the mountain again? I want you to watch me do the Grouchy Spring Man."
Spring Man happened to walk by and heard Captain Falcon say this. He responded with "Stop naming moves after me."
Captain Falcon then said "Everybody would be a bad choice for the upcoming Arms rep except for me!" in an imitation of Spring Man's voice.
"Well, it's true," retorted Spring Man.
"We can't leave yet, Captain Falcon," Kirby said, getting things back on topic. "I don't know what's come over Cuphead, but we gotta get him to come outside."
"And that's when I Falcon Punch him, right?"
The two Smashers carried a gigantic cake up to Cuphead's house while singing to him. "Three cheers on your birthday, Cuphead! Three cheers for you!"
"You know, the real birthday song finally became public domain recently, so you don't have to sing lame birthday song wannabes anymore," Cuphead said, which bummed Kirby out.
"Just get out here and make a wish on the candle," replied Captain Falcon.
"Yeah, it's ancient birthday law," Kirby added.
"I don't need the wish, Penny...and the other amiibo. Everything I could ever want is right here. In fact, let's sing someone else's song about the joy of staying indoors. I know of a place where you never get harmed. A magical place with magical charms. Indoors! Indoors! Indoors! Take it away, Penny!"
To bring her to life, Cuphead placed the Mii Swordfighter amiibo on a right Joy-Con. However, the Mii still didn't sing. "In the original episode, the rest of the lyrics to the song were never revealed."
Without hesitation, Kirby and Captain Falcon got right back to trying to find something that would get Cuphead to leave his house. They tried setting up a trampoline, getting ice cream, surfing, getting two ice creams, going on a merry-go-round, getting two ice creams that had melted because Captain Falcon had been holding them for too long, Clamperl wrestling, and more. Nothing worked. Not even washing an old person could get Cuphead to come outside.
They only had one idea left that might work. This was their last chance.
"Very well, Cuphead. You win. Stay inside forever. Yours is truly the iron will," Kirby said while slowly backing away from Cuphead's front door. "Now, Cap!" he whispered away from Cuphead while covering the side of his mouth. Wearing a gorilla costume, Captain Falcon jumped out from a bush and pretended to attack Kirby. "Eek! A gorilla! Save me, Cuphead!"
Cuphead wasn't buying it in the slightest. "Okay, guys. This is your saddest attempt yet. Even Chip knows Kirby could easily defend himself against a gorilla and wouldn't need me to save him."
"'Even Chip?' What's the supposed to mean?" Kirby said to himself in confusion before realizing it wasn't important. "No, really! You better come save me!"
Suddenly, a second Captain Falcon, in his popular white and pink palette swap, walked up to the Captain Falcon who was wearing the gorilla outfit. "Hey, Kirby. Who's your friend?" he asked. This surprised everyone and they couldn't think of an explanation for how this could be possible.
"But- but you're supposed to be in the gorilla suit," a confused Kirby commented.
"I am in the gorilla suit," the default Captain Falcon responded before unzipping the suit's hood. "I thought I was doing a pretty good job," he continued.
"If you're Captain Falcon, then who's that?" Kirby asked.
Everyone's nerves were on end. This second Captain Falcon must've been some impostor. They just weren't sure who it could really be or what this impostor could be planning. They dreaded him revealing his true identity until he calmed them all by saying "I am also Captain Falcon. Everybody knows there can be more than one of the same character in a single place as long as one of them is using an alt."
"Wait a second. That's it!" exclaimed Kirby. "Why have we been ignoring the gameplay mechanics of Smash all day? All we gotta do to get Cuphead outside is keep grabbing and throwing him until he's out of the house."
"That's a great idea!" the two Captain Falcons said in unison before all three of them ran inside.
"No! Don't! You don't understand!" Cuphead screamed. Kirby grabbed him from behind and used his forward throw. Then one of the Captain Falcons grabbed him and used a back throw. Before he knew it, Cuphead was finally outside. "Nooooooooooo!" he exasperated. It seemed to everyone that Cuphead would start freaking out, but against their expectations, he started coughing instead. Once his throat was clear, he said "Oh, finally! That mind control is gone."
"Mind control?!" Kirby exclaimed in shock.
"Yeah, Ashley was jelly that her Mii costume isn't as good as mine, so she put a spell on me that made me think I want to stay inside," explained Cuphead.
Captain Falcon was a little suspicious. "Is that something she would do? Does she care about having representation in Smash?"
"Apparently, she does," the other Captain Falcon added.
"Do you think we should investigate this crime?" Kirby asked.
Knuckles overheard this as he walked by and chose to answer even though he wasn't the one who was asked. "Well, I've got nothing better to do."
To Be Continued
Maybe
Is anybody interested in this new plot point I put in at the end? Please let me know if you would like to see a continuation of this. Otherwise, I most likely won't make one. It's nice to get to use different characters than I usually do (A person can only take so much The Loud House before he snaps!), but I would still like to know your thoughts first.
