And that concludes the Halloween Special. Tomorrow I will continue with the other story.
Since most have really convinced me with TVTropes I have to say yes I'll do it! But I looked again and so many fanfics to Cuphead there are unfortunately not. Only suggestions. Unless I'm too stupid for it.
Yes, the TCS devil will try to deal with it loosely at first but will then become desperate. For some episodes I have already come up with alternative names. But more I do not want to reveal.
I also decided to post the adaptation in this category.
Until then!
When she fell out of the portal, Gemma landed back in her world of Mystic Willows. The crystal statues in front of them were broken and all the adults had been freed. "Urgh my head hurts" said one of the freed wizards, "What happened?" asked a witch. They were all confused about the whole thing. They didn't know that they had been locked in crystal all this time and that a young Opalite had freed them. But their mother Selena knew and was more than proud of her daughter. Gemma looked around for her mother until she saw her crystal statue from which she slowly extricated herself. "Mom!" cried Gemma as she ran to her and hugged her tightly. The children who were at school meanwhile ran outside to their parents and hugged them as well.
"Oh, Gemma, I'm so glad you're okay!" she said, hugging her daughter tightly. "I'm glad you're back to normal" Gemma said as tears ran down her cheeks which her mother immediately wiped away as she looked her daughter in the eye and kissed her forehead. "I always knew you would make it". Gemma smiled as her mother said this.
But not everyone was satisfied that Gemma is celebrated as a hero. A anthropomorphic Siamese cat with icy blue eyes, a small lilac nose and pink inner ears. She wears a black dress, a pink belt and a black witch's hat with a pink brim. It was Myrtle Thornsdale. "Oh please Gemma is supposed to have defeated the three Batderson sisters? Don't make me laugh!" she said in a cheeky voice when she suddenly sensed someone behind her. Or two, rather. She looked up and saw her parents Preston and Georgia Thornsdale.
Both are anthropomorphic Siamese cats. Preston has green eyes and a notch in his left ear, he wears a dark ash grey robe with a gold tassel belt and a black cape with a grey underside. Georgia is lithe and curvaceous build and has icy blue eyes like her daughter. She wears a black backless dress with a slight in the left side of the skirt, long black ball gown gloves, a pearl bracelet on her left wrist and a diamond necklace. She also wears a scarlet pink cloak and a black witch's hat with a scarlet pink band around the brim.
Myrtle was sweating nervously when she saw both her parents and was about to say something when she was interrupted by her father. "We heard everything you said about Gemma", "and also the tall tale you told her classmates". She knew she couldn't talk her way out of it. She couldn't talk them out of the five weeks of house arrest either. But apologizing in front of the whole village was a challenge for her. But Gemma took it in stride and hugged her. Myrtle was confused but when Gemma whispered something in her ear she hugged her too. Both were now friends despite the bullying.
The residents of Mystic Willows were more than pleased with the deeds Gemma did to save them. The portal to Inkwell Isle was closed. But still Gemma wondered what happened to the others and where was Eddie now? Probably he is in a grave in the cemetery. She didn't think about it and looked forward to being home again.
"We should probably have fireworks Mayor" said an anthropomorphic raven. The mayor nodded and was about to draw his wand when a small colorful ball shot up into the sky from the crowd and exploded into several fireworks that lit up the sky. Everyone was confused as to who had fired the spell until they saw it was Gemma. Happily, the others also shot a colorful ball into the sky. Several patterns and motifs could be seen showing Gemma and the defeated Batderson sisters.
Selena took her daughter in her arms and watched the fireworks together with her. An anthropomorphic albino bat boy happily jumps in as exclaims, "They should be build a statue of her!". A raven boy steps in next to him, making the bat visibly flinch as though the raven was going to hit him, only for the older boy to wholeheartedly agree, "You said it.". Surprised, the bat boy asks, "I did?".The raven sincerely smiles in reply as did the barn owl girl and black kitten boy.
And so it happened. In the square there was a statue of a young Gemma with Alicia and the others who fought together against the Batderson. Also, Gemma changed during her life and was now as good as her mother and did honor to her family name. From one day to the next, she was top of the class and could master even the most difficult spells. She also gained other friends besides Myrtle.
But she will never miss her friends on Inkwell Isle's. No matter how far away they were. With the deaths of the three Batderson sisters, the house and the area around the Crystal Forest was fenced off. No one is allowed to enter this area. Because even when the three were dead, you could still hear their cackling laughter in the silence of the night. No one knew where it came from but they knew it meant nothing good.
That's why the Opalites set out to put a curse on the house again. Thanks to Gemma and Selena's help, they succeeded. But what nobody knew was that on the table in the main room of the Batderson house a gray candle appeared with a note. "Made from the fat of a hanged man. Legend says that on a full moon t'will raise the spirits of the dead when lit by a virgin on All Hallow's Eve".
Since then, the place is considered cursed and many legends rose around this place. Many said that if a virgin set fire to it, the sisters would come back and take revenge. To all those who have harmed them. But it has not yet come to that. The magic council has ensured that no one may enter the forest without permission from the council or the mayor.10 years have passed since this one. Some things have also changed since then. Gemma was now no longer small but almost grown up.
She now has a gown long hair with purple streak in her hair tuft. She wears a purple dress with bell-shaped sleeves revealing light blue handless gloves, a silver bracelet with an opal gem in it on her right wrist and a silver rim at the bottom of the skirt. The skirt is slightly shorter revealing her knees. She wears midnight blue leggings and purple medieval style toeless boots with blue soles. Around her waist, she has a blue belt with a little bag similar to her old purse bag and she now wears a gold necklace consist of a star and moon. Her cloak now has crescent moons next to the stars. On her hat she wears a silver tiara with opal gemstones.
Little Gemma now became as strong a witch as her mother. She was also respected like that. But just like every day after school, she went to the statue and looked at it until sunset. It was like a little ritual she used to do when she had nothing to do. She wondered what her friends on Inkwell Isle were doing. Unfortunately, she couldn't visit them because the portal was closed and only council members were allowed to open it.
But she wanted so much to see Alicia and the others again. But would they recognize her? She did not know. Sighing, she got up and was about to go home when she ran into something and almost flew down. "What was that?" she asked herself as she looked down behind her and was startled. Bellatrix's spell book was on the floor and she almost fell on the floor because of it. "What are you doing here?" she asked the book, which opened both its eyes and looked at her. She hesitated at first but picked up the book. The evil power disappeared and the book seemed to have chosen her. She was now its new master.
Unwillingly she opened it and saw that it had changed. Now there were no more evil spells in the book but only good ones. "Gemma are you coming?" asked a voice behind her. She turned around and ran to her friends who were waiting for her. But what no one knew was that the danger from the three Batderson sisters was not over yet. No it wasn't. When the house was visible in the forest, the laughter of the three sisters was heard again. But the laughter quickly changed to singing.
Hoo!
Now listen up
We were running wild
And so reviled
Raising cain until we got exiled
But times are changing
Now we're on the attack
Yeah, the spell is gonna hit ya
'Cause the witches are back
(Whoa-oa-oa)
Sisters!
Yeah, the witches, the witches
The witches are back
Stone cold sinners as a matter of fact
I'm a witch
I'm a witch
But I'm better than you
Watch the way that we fly
The way that you'll die
(Whoa-ho-ho)
Hoo!
Yeah, the witches, the witches
The witches are back
Stone cold meanies as a matter of fact
Yeah, the witches
The witches are coming for you
With the spells that we cast
My, this tempo is fast (whoa-oa-oa)
All together now, girls
Witch, witch
The witches are back
We're back (whoa-ho-ho-ho)
Witch, witch
Sing it to me
The witches are back, back
The witch, witch (witch, witch)
The witches are back
We're killing them
Witch, witch (ha-ha)
The witches are back, back
The witches are back
The chant disappeared as quickly as it came into the depths of the crystal forest where no one heard it again until a virgin would light the candle.
Song: The Witches are back by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
