Chapter 91: Tales of the Netherworld Volume 3 (2):
Bamun's POV:
My name is Bamun. In my Universe, there are people who can bend the elements. My home, Ba Sing Se, was taken from me by the Fire Nation. I wanted revenge on Princess Azula... but then I saw that if I did so, I'd be just like how she was. Now, I'm stranded in a dimension I know nothing about. All this because I made a deal with the Devil. And now, I have to escape from him.
I leaped from rock to rock and the Devil gave chase.
"You said you'd give me your soul," says the Devil.
"I did not mean it," I said.
"Excuse me, but you still said it and that means, unless you find a realm that the Devil cannot touch, your soul is his!"
"You are really annoying," I said.
I continued to leap, and the Devil continued to chase after me.
. . .
I then found myself on an island, surrounded by a boiling sea. I then hid. I saw the Devil arrive and all the creatures of this island panicked.
"My fans," says the Devil, "they still love me."
"The Devil," says the man who seems to run this island, "what brings you here?"
"Thee's a soul I'm trying to collect," says the Devil, "you ae the Empeor of the Boiling Isles, I want you to let me know if you see anything... he's an old human, from that dimension whee people can bend elements."
"Oh, the one with the Spirit World," says the Emperor.
"Yes," says the Devil, "that's the one!"
"Y'know, if he was in that spirit world, his soul would be safe from you," says the Emperor.
"Don't say that out loud," says the Devil, "he could be hee, hiding and could have heard that, you dumb cunt!"
"Sorry," says the Emperor.
"Just let me know if you see anything," says the Devil. He then uses his pitchfork to teleport away.
So, that's it, I must find a way to get to the Spirit World... but how? I then started sneaking...
"Well, you must be the human," says the Emperor.
I then ran.
. . .
The Emperor's Guards chased after me. I then pushed some barrels to the ground, and they all tripped over them. I then continued to run.
. . .
I then found a building... it seems to be a school that teaches witchcraft. Perhaps it holds the answers I seek. I then snuck in.
. . .
I searched through the books, and I found it! It turns out, this realm does have a portal to the spirit world. It's located in a place called... the elbow? I then studied about this island... it was once a creature called a titan! This entire island is a corpse! I then heard something. I had to leave fast.
. . .
I used a map to find the elbow. I then ran and the Emperor's Guards saw me, and they chased after me. I then grabbed a creature and threw it at them, and I continued to run.
. . .
I then found the elbow, but then the Devil came.
"Such a nice elbow, isn't it," asks the Devil.
I then ran and the Devil chased after me. I then found the portal and I jumped in...
. . .
I did it! I am now in the Spirit World. I saw all the spirits. I may be here for a while... but at least I am finally at peace!
"Welcome to the Spirit World, I am Iroh, shall I give you a tour?"
"I'd like that," I said.
The Devil's POV:
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!"
"Well, he's safe in there now," says Stickler, "wanna get some hex mix?"
"Sure, why not," I said.
Bamun's POV:
There is still one thing I must do... I use the spirits to place a spell of my own. One day, there will be a soul... and even if it's owed to the Devil, he will never get it!
Devil's POV - 7 Years Later:
I was quiTte in the Netherworld whee I was quiTte happily watching Souls of Inkwell Isle residents being sucked into my Soul Bank.
"Everyone loves a carnival," I said then I turn to my soul counter. "What a haul."
The Devil: Whoa
In case you ain't heard, I'm the Devil
I'm real low down, not on the level
They call me Old Scratch, Mr. S, the Big D
I'm the king of the underworld. Yeah, it's great to be me
Ho-di-llie doh-di-llie doh-di-llie doh
Imps: Ho-di-llie doh-di-llie doh-di-llie doh
The Devil: Hee-di-llie hee-di-llie hee-di-llie hee
Imps: Hee-di-llie hee-di-llie hee-di-llie hee
The Devil: I'm a real naughty boy, I'm sue you'll agree
I get my kicks playing tricks on the locals
They're easy marks, they're real dumb yokels
But now folks, listen closely
It's time I made a confession
Collecting people's souls is my greaTtest obsession!
"Uh, hey, boss. Boss! Hey, boss!" says Henchman even though he should know that I was quiTte singing!
"What?!" I angrily shouTted. "I was quiTte singing!"
"The... the soul counter stopped." says Henchman as he points to the soul counter which indeed did stop.
I bang on The Soul Counter, but it doesn't do anything. I then rush to my pipes, only to see no souls getting sucked into the pipes.
"What the..." I said as I use a telescope to see what is going on in the Carn-Evil, I then see that nobody first but then I turn it to Soul Ball and see that the Incidentals watching a cup get four wins!
"Cuphead! Cuphead! Cuphead!" says the Incidentals.
"Terrific. Looks like we have a real show-off." I said whayl being annoyed then I teleported away.
So, yeah, that soul Bamun is talking about is Cuphead's soul. The ending scene is from the First Episode of the Cuphead Show where the Devil is going to meet Cuphead. Anyway, in the next chapter, we take a look at Amaterasu's story.
