Spells and Louds
Chapter 76: Beatin' and Boomin'
(Spellman Estate)
Gyro flies into the houses window and into the living room, where he morphs out of his raven form.
Then a black vehicle arrives with Martin and Victor coming out. They both enter the house and see the guardian.
"You were called here too?" asked Martin. "Well, seems like you guys were also called here" replied Gyro.
"Excuse me sirs, but the Spellman's are in the basement awaiting you all" said Harv. All three of them followed his instructions and head into the basement and into the underground music studio of Neil.
"Wonder what the big surprise is" said Victor. "Maybe they need us for a music thing" said Martin. "I highly doubt it" said Gyro.
When they enter through the studio rooms doors, they spot Hollow was there as well. "What the heck are you doing here Cabal?" asked Gyro. Then they spot Steven Universe.
"And you're here as well kid" said Victor. "We're here because of this" said Steven. They looked at what he was pointing at.
They see in the music recording room, Lincoln on the piano, along with Leon, Sergei, Linka, Sunset and Luna with some instruments as well.
And looking at the lyrics sheet is Spinel and Neil. The two of them spot the Guardian and the two FutureTech guys. Neil waves at them.
On the recording machine is Sam Sharp. "Hey guys, you're all just in time" said Sam.
"Neil said they needed to see if Spinel is as talented in music next to being scary and cool" said Hollow. "Lincoln's words not mine".
"So, we're here to see them sing. With Spinel" said Gyro. "Pretty much" said Neil over the microphone.
"Okay, we are ready. You guys ready?" Neil said to the others in the room with him.
"Let's rock it dude!" said Luna. "Yeah!" said Sunset. "Ya voll, Komandante!" said Leon. "Da Comarade" said Sergei. "You know it dad" said Lincoln. "Definitely ready" said Linka.
Then they look to Spinel, she looks at them with both nervousness and confusion. "Well, I guess" said Spinel.
Neil knows she's still uncomfortable after the events of what transpired in beach city.
"You're gonna love this, once the beat starts it's gonna make you happy" said Neil with a smile. "Okay, I guess. Let's do it then" replied Spinel with a smile as well.
"Okay, let's hit it!" said Sam.
Lincoln starts with a cool vintage like beat on the piano, with the others following up with a violin, some drums, bass, trumpets.
Neil: Fala-lala-Falalala-Fala-lala-lalala, Fala-lala-Falalala-Fala-lala-lalala
Spinel feels weird, like the beat was making her smile.
And all of a sudden she starts to glow and change into Cute, Baby Spinel. (When she was young-ish)
Spinel: Skibadapop-bidalibow!
Badaladadap-Bidalibow!
Yapbapadap-Padap-Padaladawap!
Skibapadalap-Bidalibam!
Yapbapbadam-Bidalidang!
Yupbapada-Yapbadidaladi-Yap! Pow!
Neil: Take a sip of this, I'm an itty bitty Cuphead.
Spinel: One Sentence in, I've already made a pun, Yep!
Neil and Spinel: Picking up steam wonder why they call me hothead
Struck a deal with the Devil, now I'm rackin' up debt.
Neil: Yes I made a dumb bet, no need to get upset.
Spinel: I'm a cup of trouble, have you seen my mugshot yet?
Neil: Step in front of my finger gun, and you drop dead.
Spinel: Wallop all your bosses, leave em all jobless.
Neil: They'll never stop me from runnin' like a faucet.
Spinel: I'm a full cup, don't you ever try to top it.
Neil: You can never touch this
Spinel: But you can kick the bucket.
Neil: I'm meant to be drunk from
Spinel: But not to be trusted!
Neil: Head up, Hit the deck, mugman!
You don't really wanna get your head busted.
Spinel: I'm a dirty dish, who needs a rough scrubbin'
After doin' these devilish deeds!
Neil: God Damn! I'll stop this train even if it's haunted!
Spinel: Where's my ship?
Neil: Sorry just sunk it.
Spinel: Aww!
Neil: Hopping like a frog, duck and dodge your punches.
Won't shed a single tear when I'm choppin' onions!
Spinel: Waaa!
Neil: Spent all your breath huffin' and puffun'
Just to get dumped on by a cup for nothin'
Spinel: Whoa!
Neil: Unless you all wanna end up dead
Bo not mess with a Cuphead!
Neil and Spinel: Nuff said!
Do not mess with a Cuphead, Nuff said!
Do not mess with a Cuphead, Nuff said!
Do not mess with a Cuphead, Nuff said!
Spinel: Do not mess with a Cuphead, Nuff said! Nyaaa!
Neil and Spinel: You'll never catch me cryin' over milk I spilled!
My head ain't empty, but who knows with what it's filled?
I took that devilish gamble
Nothing that a Cuphead couldn't handle
And now it's time to foot the, Bibbadibity-bill!
Neil: Any line that you happen to draw
Is a line I'll be stepping across.
Spinel: Trapped in a world lacking any natural laws
Have you had you coffee yet? Cuz, I'm off of the walls!
Neil: My demons need some exorcise
Spinel: A little Caffeine, oughtta get 'em energized.
Neil: Will we ever get to heaven when we die?
Spinel: Can't get any worse, we already bet our lives!
Neil: Forget fairy tales, they're frizzin' out
I'd like to pick a fight with that prick, Mickey mouse!
I'll kick his ass then I'll knock Walt Disney out!
I'll leave 'em with a taste of Toxic in their mouth!
Spinel: Oh no!
Neil: My hands been dealt
Spinel: it's a bad draw though
Neil: I'll go all in
Spinel: When the rest all fold!
Neil: Looks like I'm on the last straw so
Spinel: Better tell the Devil Th-that Th-that's all folks!
(Spotlight on Spinel new form with a top hat)
Spinel: Come see what we've been brewin'
Something to keep ya movin'
Must be the beat I'm boomin'
Hit me with that funky music!
How do we keep on groovin'?
One could say we been juicin'
Beepin' Boopin', Looney toonin'
Time for you to, FACE THE MUSIC!
Neil and Spinel: You'll never catch me cryin' over milk I spilled!
My head ain't empty, but who knows with what it's filled?
I took that devilish gamble
Nothing that a Cuphead couldn't handle
And now it's time to foot the, Bibbadibity-bill!
Spinel: I feel like the Holy Grail
Just hope I don't go to hell
If so that won't go so well
I've been bad but no one tell
I'm much more than just a cup
Raise a toast and pick me up
Pour one more and drink it up
But don't choke!
Neil: Cuz I'm not the kinda cup you should be chugging from
I'll get the drop on ya when I run and gun!
Working for Lucifer is a ton of fun!
Spinel: You two do my bidding!
Neil: Done and done!
I'm a jazzy chap who'll leave you razzle-dazzled!
After I whoop and wallop your ass in battle!
When I'm stuck up shits creek without a paddle!
Just imagine!
Neil and Spinel: The glass is half full!
Neil and Spinel: You'll never catch me cryin' over milk I spilled!
My head ain't empty, but who knows with what it's filled?
I took that devilish gamble
Nothing that a Cuphead couldn't handle
And now it's time to foot the, Bibbadibity-bill!
The Spotlight fades and they all catch they're breathes.
Everyone who was watching from the other side of the glass all clap at they're musical performance.
Neil and the crew all take a bow. "Thank you, thank you!" said Neil. "Gee, your all too kind!" said Spinel.
They all head out of the recording room. "That was awesome!" said Victor.
"There were a couple of foul words in there. But it's what made it sound intense!" said Gyro.
"The idea came to us after we saw the whole event with Spinel in beach city, courtesy of Hollow" said Sunset.
"And from a video game that is way too hard to play" said Lincoln.
"So, we conjured up a little something to brighten both things. Plus Spinel's got some rockin' beats when she sings it" said Luna.
"Well, you know me. The wise crack of the lyrics" said Spinel. Some of them chuckle at her joke
"You actually sound more funny that Luan" said Martin.
"Even I have to admit, that was kinda cool. Love that vintage style" said Hollow.
"Wow Spinel, can't wait for the others to hear this tune" said Steven. "Though, Pearl might not like some of the words in the song".
"Also, I did not know you could change between the Spinel we know and the Spinel from the past" said Gyro.
"Well, they are the only two forms I can make. My current form and my cute, innocent and stupid self" said Spinel.
"Well, I think both forms are cool" said Linka.
"Very impressive" said Lincoln.
"True that man" said Luna.
"Maybe we can come up with another song that could include you Spinel" said Sunset.
"That's gonna be a long while" said Leon.
"We're gonna need some vintage inspiration" said Sergei.
"Is it okay if the diamonds hear this? I wanna know how they like it" said Spinel.
"Sure thing" said Sam. "We just need to finalize any audio problems, then we can start uploading them into whatever storage device we have".
"Thanks, this actually makes me feel happy. Kinda like the old me" said Spinel.
"You don't need to worry about the past Spinel. You have friends here who care about you" said Linka. Then they all look at Hollow. "Well, sort of".
"How about, we all have some celebratory Pizza! Courage is upstairs making it" said Neil.
They all cheered and went upstairs. "I've eaten donuts, but not Pizza" said Spinel.
"Well, you're gonna love it. Come on" said Steven.
When they all make it to the kitchen they see that Courage was already slicing the pizza.
They look in awe at the size of it. "This looks so delicious Courage" said Linka.
"You truly are gifted in cooking" said Lincoln. "They should make a cooking show for talented animals" said Leon.
Courage blushed and took a bow. They all sat down and enjoyed they're lunch, Spinel loved it of course.
"So this is how amethyst feels when she eats!" said Spinel as she takes another bits. Though Steven was a bit worried about her.
Three days ago, she was leaving with the Diamonds. Three days later, she shows up, looking nervous and says she wants to hang out with her friends.
Steven knew something was wrong, but he decided to deal with it later.
Meanwhile Hollow notices Courage tugging at his jacket. Hollow knows what he means, so he follows Courage to have a private conversation outside.
"Alright dog, what do you want?" asked Hollow with his arms crossed. Courage starts speaking in gibberish again and changing his shape to something from his past.
Hollow understood what he meant. "So, you want me to see through your memories, so we can find out if your parents are still alive?" said Hollow.
Courage nodded with excitement.
Hollow reveals his unamused face underneath his mask. Which Courage was a bit nervous.
Hollow just walked back inside. Courage sighed, he knew that meant no.
Then Courage remembered what Linka's aid days ago. "Hollow is not the kind of person to make friends with, he rarely cares about anyone. The only thing that's on his top priority is his rank, his empire, the multiverse and the force, also balance". Those words made sense to Courage.
But he was still hoping that maybe one day, he will help him. Courage has to be patient.
(The World of Remnant)
After lunch a raven flies through a portal in the sky.
All of Atlas's military forces have left the world.
Gyro looks down and sees Glynda Goodwitch battling off some Grimm.
It was shocking to see how devoted she was to restoring the former school.
Gyro swoops down and transforms. He slams his staff to the ground and incinerates all Grimm around them.
Glynda opens her eyes and is shocked at the stranger. She enters combat stance as he turns around to face her.
"Who are you?! What are you doing here?!" said Glynda.
A portal opens behind Gyro and a large military FutureTech army comes out. "We need to talk" said Gyro.
To be continued …
All credit to the song goes to JT Musics "CupHead Rap", go check it out on YouTube. I've never played the game, but I heard it's very difficult. The whole idea came to me after listening to Spinel's song Other Friends. She was truly talented with her singing.
It's a shame that Courage couldn't get what he needed from Hollow, but we know how less friendly he can be. And what is Gyro planning in the world of remnant. Please leave a review and tell me what you all think.
