Chapter 6: Demi or Demon?

Cuphead and Mugman begin to regain consciousness to find themselves bound to the mouth and their arms to the back with rope. Both of them are confused and terrified to find themselves in a two luxurious-bed trailer as they are both on the bed in the dark. While they struggle to get free, the trailer door is seen opened by Thea and Caffina. Both actresses have mischievous smiles, and their eyes somehow glow purple and dark blue.

They were shocked to see them here as Thea said, "Oh, goodie. You're awake. Now we can have some fun before we turn in your Souls."

The two actresses came over to the bed to take off their dresses in front of the Cup Brothers. Startling them to close their eyes to reveal Thea and Caffina in pink and purple lingeries. The Cup Brothers begin to sweat in a panic on seeing this happen.

"It's a shame we have to give your Souls to the Devil, but it's part of our deal with him," said Caffina.

Shocked, even more, the Cup Brothers tried to shake their heads. This caused the gags to slip off of their mouths.

"You made a Deal with the Devil?! For what purpose?!" Cuphead yelled.

"We work for him," Thea continued while she and her cousin sat on the bed near them, seductive-like. "It's easy to Soul Collect when you are us. Young lads easy to lure into our trap."

"Wait? The missing boys from the newspapers…It was all your doing?!" Mugman pointed his foot at the actresses.

"Not only we'll get to give Souls to the Devil for money, but we can also add them to our Pleasure Play Collection. And you two will be the crown jewels of it since you are the purest of innocent cleanliness that our eyes ever detected," said Caffina.

"And when we're done…," said Thea so she could get on top of Cuphead.

Caffina gets on top of Mugman and continues, "Your Chalice friend's Soul is next."

Soon, Thea's and Caffina's tongues begin to extend long and wriggle like snakes.

Then they said, "This is the only way we can get your Souls out by giving you…."

Grabbing the Cup Brothers' mouths and keeping them wide, they continued drooling all over, "AN EXTREME…FRENCH KISS!"

Scared, Cuphead asks, "What's a… French Kiss?... Some… chocolate?"

"Cuphead, you milk for brains… We're about have our Souls…sucked up… by kissing… My first kiss…Like this?" said Mugman as he sweated.

The Cup Brothers looked behind the actresses to find Chalice and Cora spearing Thea and Caffina. But then a spear gets pierced on the right rib of Thea, and a sword is impaled on the left rib of Caffina, causing the two cousins to scream demonically. But Chalice and Cora showed the purest rage to defend the Cup Brothers.

"Chalice and Cora…," Cuphead relieved.

"Thank you…," Mugman cried.

"We knew it! We knew you were up to no good when you laid eye on the Cup Brothers! YOU WILL NEVER HAVE THEM!" Chalice yelled.

"Ay! They had to get married first if they wanted to get Tier 15! And we'll see it through!" Cora shouted.

But then Chalice and Cora begin to glow in purple and dark blue for them to float and get thrown out violently out of the trailer. Angel, Ginger, and Shelly saw them collide into the set.

"Chalice and Cora?!" Angel said as she, Ginger, and Shelly came over.

"What happened?!" said Ginger.

"It's those two cousin actresses…," said Chalice.

"Thea and Caffina?!" Shelly shocked.

"They're no normal people…," Cora said as she and Chalice got back on their feet.

Thea and Caffina then appeared before everyone while holding onto the wounds as they glowed purple and dark blue. By releasing their grip, their wounds healed up.

"You two are the most pain in our big fat chair cushions…," said Thea as she and her cousin began to grow demonic barbed tails.

"It's time to show you what true Devils in Disguises are…," said Caffina while she and her cousin grew long sharp claws.

C.H.A.R.M. became mortified when the two actresses began to show their enlarged bat wings, curled horns, and eyes glowing purple and dark blue like Demonic Cuphead and Mugman.

"Now fall for us…into the deepest depths of Hell…So, we'll steal your life force!" said Thea and Caffina as they struck, Sitting with Knee Bent and Bending the Back poses.

"Wait? …Those horns…," said Angel.

"Those wings…," said Cora.

"Those tails…," said Ginger.

"That overpower feeling…," said Shelly.

"You're Demons?!" Chalice said.

"Honestly, we're not sure if we are demifolk or demons since we're succubi," said Thea.

"Thea! You milk for brains! Thanks for blowing our cover!" Caffina annoyed.

"You're succubi?!" C.H.A.R.M. is more in shock.

"I thought succubus was a myth…Charm dream demons that have a thirst for the purity of men…I don't even have to guess all of the missing boys were your doing. But why?" Chalice said, taking out her spear.

"For our Pleasure Play Collection…Cuphead and Mugman will be our crown jewel and ultimate playthings," Thea and Caffina respond.

"Cuphead and Mugman…Aren't playthings!" Cora said, taking out her sword.

"For Cuphead and Mugman's sake, we will smite you!" said Chalice and Cora as soon as Cuphead and Mugman walked out of the trailer while still tied to the arms.

The Cup Brothers were touched to see Chalice and Cora willing to fight for them.

"Boys…" a voice heard in their minds.

They can see the memory of their mother, Mocha Latte Cappuccino Cup, while sitting on a couch with their father, Herb Alan Cup, saying, "There will come a day that certain people will come into your lives to risk theirs to protect you. If you see them, promise me you will protect and cherish them as much they do for you."

"Like how your mother and I did for each other in our journeys. Stay strong and brave to the end. Because your heart and soul are the main power," said Herb.

When the memory ends, Cuphead says, "Mugsy, we have to help them."

Mugman then responds in concern, "But Cuphead, those crazed actresses are succubi. I can't even tell if they are demons or demifolk."

"I don't even know or care what's a succubus. We should still help out. And remember what Elder Kettle said after giving us the potion?"

"Oh! Your defense is just a finger snap away."

"Then let's give it a shot."

When Cuphead snaps his right finger, a bullet comes out to hit his and Mugman's ropes for them to burn and fall apart.

"Huh," Mugman said, impressed. "Didn't you mention something shooting bullets out fingertips in one episode in the real show?"

"Who cares?! Let's make our ancestors and parents proud!" said Cuphead, preparing his fingertips.

"Right!"

The two actresses claw the weapons away as C.H.A.R.M. tries to hold down Thea and Caffina with Chalice and Cora's spear and sword.

"Not so high and mighty without your weapons, eh?" Thea said while she and her cousin spread out their wings.

But their wings soon get blasted by the magic bullets rustling holes to form on them and screaming demonically loud. Upon them and C.H.A.R.M. to where they were coming from, Cuphead and Mugman are seen firing their magic bullets.

"Woah, didn't see that coming," said Caffina.

But the bullets hitting Thea and Caffina made them in great pain as they get covered with bruises and scars. They fall onto their backs while they groan in agony.

When the Cup Brothers came over, Cuphead said, "Girls, are you alright?"

"Yes, but what you two did was amazing! Where can I get those abilities? I want to try," said Chalice.

"Aye. I'm proud of you for standing up to them," said Cora.

"How could you…?" Thea continued while holding Caffina close her said. "You would dare hit women, even if they are beautiful creatures like us?"

But the Cup Brothers point their fingertips to the cousin actresses for Cuphead to say, "We wouldn't hit a girl, but we can shoot one. No offense, girls."

"None taken," said C.H.A.R.M.

"Plus, beautiful creatures? Only a fool can see a demon beautiful, plus it to be someone who lost their will to live and seek entertainment wherever they go. I mean, what kind of a person exists?"

In Inkwell Hell, King Dice is having tea while reading the newspaper. He was startled a bit after the Devil walked past him.

"What was that for, Dice?" the Devil questioned.

"For some reason, I feel offended for myself and for anyone who appreciates cartoon demons," King Dice responds.

"What?"

"Yeah, I'm at a loss for words too."

Back at the scene, Mugman said, "I don't care if you are famous or not. You would hand our Souls to Devil, and we say no to it, hardcore."

"Now leave!" the Cup Brothers said.

"We'll come back for you," Thea and Caffina said before disappearing in a blaze.

"CUT!" a voice shouted from a distance.

The Cup Brothers and C.H.A.R.M. looked around to see the movie set's people were clapping and cheering.

The directors came over to say, "Now that was the masterpiece of the movie. The senior spies turned out to be the demon villains while trying to frame innocent demons to carry out their scheme. Too bad, we need a kissing scene to end it."

"We got it covered," said Chalice and Cora.

They soon pounced on Cuphead, and Mugman covered them with kisses. The camera crew takes film of it while Angel, Ginger, and Shelly get behind the scenes.

"Haha. They wanted to do this," said Angel.

"Do you think they'll have a double wedding?" Ginger said.

"If they do, I'm calling the position of the party planner," Shelly said.
