Song for this particular chapter: It Ends Tonight by The All-American Rejects
Ana was having a nightmare the next night. So was Luna. Luna screams, waking up in a cold sweat.
"Luna?" Leni asked, concerned.
"It was awful…they just kept kicking him…they were hurting him and I couldn't save him…" Luna cried. Leni holds her.
"It's going to be okay, Luna." Leni says, rubbing her back. "Nobody is hurting Luke."
Luna sniffed and leaned against her.
Ana was crying as Kat held her.
"I'll make them pay." Kat says, growling. But she couldn't hurt the siblings.
"Really want to hurt them…" Kat says.
"We will use our words. Not violence." Charity says.
Kat put her sword away as Ana was still looking down. Charity took Ana to sleep with her and Forest as Kat went back to bed.
Breakfast was a tense moment as Kat glared at Lola.
Leni noticed Luna looking upset, who was struggling to eat.
"Who wants to go first?" Charity asked. Forest took Ana out for breakfast with him and Garrett, so she wasn't here. Luna was visibly shaking.
"Me!" Shelby says. Sharon allows Shelby to speak.
"What would you like to say?" Charity asked.
"I think we should throw Luke and Shane a welcome back party." Shelby says. Sharon smiled.
"You and I can talk about that." Sharon smiled and held Shelby. "They come back from camp next Saturday."
At camp, Luke, Oliver, and Shane ate with Mugman. Cuphead ate breakfast with the other squad members.
"So, you're not attending your own birthday party?" Oliver asked Mugman.
He nodded and explained as Emma was with Pam.
"Did your brother spend his life stuck in his mother's stomach, kicking you to assert his dormancy?" Emma asked
"Emma, you don't know what it's like." Remy says.
"Actually, she does." Pam says as she, Griffin, and Stevie glare at Remy a bit.
"We all do. Listen, Mugman, if you have twins, triplets, or quadruplets, there will always be that one person who wants control. You really should come to our house if you have sibling issues like this. Brandy has the same issues. We have issues like that. Lana also has issues. Point is, we're here for you and we understand you." Emma says.
"Thank you. It's nice to know some people understand my pain." Mugman says as he sips his vanilla milk-infused tea.
"We also know he calls you curse words and probably has kicked you out of the house 3 times." Luke says.
"Huh?" Mugman asked.
"Oh, Randy kicks Brandy out of the house a lot and Lola did it to Lana once." Luke says.
"Yeah. I'm sorry this happened. Um, does anyone else want to confess anything?" Remy says.
"Rachel is a control freak. We didn't celebrate our half-birthday because she chose to go on a date and Dad said we couldn't celebrate without her." Stevie says as Luke considered giving them a make-up party after he planned a party for Mugman.
"Oh, my brothers fight a lot and Randy is always insulting Brandy." Emma confessed
Mugman then takes out his phone and shows them what Cuphead did to him at the cabin last night.
Video footage:
Mugman was thrown from the room.
"You are a *bleep*! A *bleep*!" Cuphead screamed obscenities at Mugman for more than 45 minutes before making him sleep in the cabin's main area, on the dog bed.
"Why do we have a dog bed?" Remy asked.
"Initiation purposes." Luke says.
"Some people need service dogs." Remy says.
"So, that's what Lola does to Lana?" Shane asked.
"Do you want to know what else he did?" Mugman asked. "Because there's more."
Everyone shook their heads no.
"No, twin stories are too sad now." Luke says, not wanting to go home anymore, now realizing Lola and Lana's fights will probably get worse.
"Think of me and what I have to deal with." Oliver says.
Meanwhile, Angry Luigi was laying in a dump.
"Yep, rock bottom. You're all probably wondering what happened. Well, not everyone is perfect and the cosmic buddies are nowhere close to Luke, and that's what nearly got us killed. I was skinned alive and beaten like an orange, then died in 3 gruesome ways, like being shredded alive so yeah, I don't think we can do the fight scene. Oh, we have the budget, but it's worse than the M rating. It's rated ED for everyone who can handle death. Oh, did I mention my brother tossed me in and wanted our birthday to be another charity birthday bash? Well, allow me to sleep as this trash can takes me to something cool." Angry Luigi says.
A few hours later, Angry Luigi hopped out and saw the cheer camp.
"Hey, Emma, I brought your plush and also Oliver's other clothes that he forgot because no one understands my security language." Angry Luigi says.
"What happened?" Mugman asked.
"Mission went south, then my bro had a hissy fit, beat me up, and tossed me to the dump. Let me guess, your twin is a jerk? Don't tell me he tossed you out the window and cursed at you. Was it the n one?"
Mugman shook his head. "The M-F one. Twice." he says.
"That's it? Oh, wow, you got off easy next time it's going to be the R one. Trust me, you gotta start avoiding him." Angry Luigi says.
"What do I do?" Mugman asked.
"Easy, we'll get Luke to buy tickets." Angry Luigi says
"Hey, I am not an ATM machine!" Luke says.
"Your mom supports over 15 kids and has a couple of limos. She can do anything. Besides, we could use tickets to heaven." Angry Luigi says.
"Yeah, we could." Mugman says.
"They've hit rock bottom." Emma says, piting them.
"Mugman hasn't hit rock bottom. He's just learning to hate his brother more." Luke says.
"I know the look in his eyes." Emma says.
Later, Emma finally finds a note as Luke gasps.
"What?! Holy sweet mother of mayhem! Cuphead!" Angry Luigi says, hammer in hand.
"You can insult Mugman for all I care, but never put anyone in my position! You just brought your brother the white ticket of freedom Damn it, I was supposed to take that ticket, not him! Now I gotta get him back before Luke loses his friend." Angry Luigi says and tosses a crystal, cutting the noose.
Mugman fell and broke his arm.
"Sorry, at least you're alive. Listen, I know what you're feeling. You can't leave. Not yet. You still have a purpose. I know that this world sucks, but you just gotta keep suffering together and one thing. I don't normally suggest this but **** him up." Angry Luigi said and walked away.
"Mugsy, I'm so sorry…" Cuphead says as Mugman kicked him in the goodies.
"You. Hate. me…" Mugman hissed.
Cuphead growled and tackled him into a fight cloud as they fell over a cliff. Emma leaped after them, grabbed their handles, and smiled before the branch fell as there was a crack, different styles of them. The one where you hear a human get injured and the one where you fail to keep your hands safe after washing the dishes and I bet you can tell the rest.
Soon, Jitro came and cuffed Cuphead, restraining his powers. Mugman collapsed into sobs as Luke held him.
"Emma! Emma!" Pam says as Emma didn't move.
"If Emma didn't slow the fall for a bit, well, let's just say Mugman would be in heaven. He's injured. We're taking him to our ship." Jitro says.
"We need our glue." Blaze says.
"Just save him…" Chalice sniffed.
The ambulances and a bunch of trucks came.
"I leave for 5 minutes and holy…" Alem tuber says and gasped as the Cosmic Buddies, Louds, and a bunch of families see this.
"Cuphead, hey, look at me, you're taking that 6 foot under trip." Alem tuber says.
"Randy, stop." Skylia says as Gabriel tries to calm him down.
"THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR THREATS!" Charity says as Kettle was sobbing.
"Save my child…" he sobbed as Charity held him.
"Please, Randy is really upset." Skylia says and watches as Cuphead is taken away.
Jitro was working on Mugman.
"Yeah, Jitro said you all can't watch the progress. One mistake, he dies." Blaze says.
"Cuphead, I have nothing to say. Jitro, he's in your care now." Kettle says, then looks at Emma.
"You saved him from death. As for you Foxes, I owe you a lot." He says, thankful Gabriel and Skylia raised Emma right.
A few days later, Mugman was glued up as Jitro was just waiting for the glue to dry, but visitors were finally allowed.
"Mugsy!" Mona says.
"Mona…" Mugman says, smiling.
"I brought a mushroom, eat up!" Mona says. She used it to heal him.
Emma was still under a coma as Pam held her hand. "You did great." Pam says to Emma.
"Thank you." Mugman says.
"The camp directors said that Oakley Academy won the camp competition by default." Mona says. "They weren't going to let it go on, considering everything that happened."
"Yeah, there were a lot of injuries." Chrissy says as Sal was injured and she was injured, lying on a bed.
"Ha!" Stephen laughed.
"Not funny!" Savannah says
"How bad did you Cosmic Buddies screw up?" Remy asked
"Really bad. All we did was save kids and get beaten up while Begmax got to build his super weapon, leaving us unable to compete in the competition, so yeah,Remy had his charity turn. I think Emma and Mugman are possibly up. Congrats Emma you are a winner are you proud?" Chrissy asked, glaring at Emma.
"Huh?" Emma asked in bed. "What happened?" She asked as she saw a medal in her hand.
"For me?" Emma asked
"My hero..." Shiloh blushed.
"I'd hug you, but I'm injured. Thank you." Emma says.
"Tomorrow, the whole town is throwing a party for you that I planned." Luke says to Mugman, who smiled at this.
"I just wanted a small gathering, but…" Mugman says.
"You don't have to share with your brother for a change. You get to go big like me and Shane." Luke says.
"Okay, just this once." Mugman says.
"Not once, for life." Luke says.
"Crud, everytime Luke goes big, it doesn't end well for me. Looks like guests are probably going to be coming in. I just dealt with Ben Jr. and Dusk Knight. We Cosmic buddies are not attending your birthday." Angry Luigi says.
"Use mushrooms." Skylia says.
"We don't have any power ups. We got used as sex slaves, raped, skinned alive, and other worse things." Savannah says.
"Yeah, it sucks to be a girl. Boys are lucky!" Chrissy says.
That night, Mona feeds Mugman.
"Cuphead deserves to be in prison…" Mugman says.
She holds him and smiles as she holds out her gift to him.
"Do you want to open this, Mugsy?" Mona asked. He opens it to reveal the book he wanted as he smiles at Mona.
"Mona, thank you." Mugman says. "Will you read some of it to me? I really want to know how Mugbeard romanced that mermaid…"
Mona smiled.
Post credit scene
Cuphead woke up in a cell and screamed. A monster glared at him.
