Part two is out with that and a new character will be added in the next chapter.
Who or what that is I do not spoiler. One thing is for sure. It's not Blood and it's not Varian.
Also, it will not be a character from Cuphead.
You can wait and be patient who it could be because I will not reveal anything.
If you have Questions about it I gladly anwser them in the next Chapter
Until then
Annoyed and furious, the Devil sat on his throne. Yes, that he had not managed to collect the souls of the two cups annoyed him very much. But that was not the worst. He had not managed to win Alicia over and get her to sign the marriage contract that was still in his possession. Her signature was still missing and that frustrates him a lot. That's exactly why he got even angrier.
His snort could not be ignored. You could hear it. The flames that were around the throne room rose and fell, matching his puffs. Behind one of the many columns, Henchman and Amnon peered out. The former had a newspaper under his arm while the latter had a plate with a leftover cake from yesterday's celebration. The Husky Demon swallowed nervously. He was extremely reluctant to go to the boss when he was as angry as he was now. Well, angry was the wrong term. He was furious. Henchman disagreed and flew ahead while the Husky Demon followed him. Or rather, both flew towards the devil who sighed and groans.
"Uh, hey, boss..." the husky demon approached him trembling when he saw the eyes that looked threatening to him. One wrong word and he could explode. Amnon didn't want to risk that, so he swallowed nervously before continuing. "...want some leftover congratulations cake?" but the devil paid no attention to him but continued to moan with rage while his claws dug into the armrest.
Amnon saw it and whimpered softly while hiding behind Henchman who did not see it. He saw only the face of the devil. "Uh, you look mad for somebody who just got those cup's souls" his gaze wandered to him. One wrong word and... "And you managed to get Alicia to sign the marriage contract, so why are you angry?" Amnon twitched and quivered more than before while shaking his head as if to tell Henchman not to push it too far. "Congratulations, by the way".
Yep it was too late. The devil had enough and roared angrily at both demons. Amnon trembled even more than before and dropped the plate with the cake in horror. Henchman, however, crouched down and kept his mouth shut while his tail folded up. Amnon's was pinched between his legs.
When the devil is as angry as he is now, you should not anger him even more. After all, his trident was not far away from him. This leaned against his throne and was easily accessible to him. Until the devil calmed down again, of course. "I didn't actually get the souls of the two cups yet okay?" Henchman and Amnon were puzzled by his statement. "And yes, I have not yet been able to get Alicia to sign the marriage contract either!" he sighs and pouted with folded arms.
"I just said that to buy myself some time before Stickler finds out" he leaned against his throne and pouted even more. "I hate that guy" he was not the only one. No one really liked the auditor. Amnon and Henchman calmed down again. Thoughtfully, the latter looked at the newspaper he was holding under his arm and looked at the front page. This gave him an idea.
"Oh! I know what'd make you feel better, boss" both the devil and Amnon looked at him in confusion. "The Obliterator!" I'm sorry, what? Henchman lifted the newspaper with the front page and proudly presented it to the devil who didn't seem to be very excited about it like the two demons. As if the newest ride on Inkwell Pier would cheer him up.
Annoyed, he wanted to look away, but Amnon insisted that he at least take a look. So he gave in, rolled with his eyes and looked at Henchman who was still holding the newspaper in his hand. "They say it goes so fast, it'll tear the clothes right off of you" "The only thing that'll make me feel better is getting the souls of those cups and that my dearest Alicia..." his pupils took on heart shapes as he moaned with joy "signs the marriage contract and is finally mine!".
"They gotta take those sweaters off sometime and my beloved must eventually give in and sign the marriage contract!" the devil was extremely motivated and stood up from his throne while taking his trident. With it, he teleported away while leaving both Demons alone in the throne room, anticipating that it would not end well.
In Alicia's apartment, Mugman was still staring at the TV with a full bowl of popcorn while watching the episode and swallowing nervously "Oh man Alicia I feel sorry for you" he wanted to jump into the TV himself but unfortunately it didn't work. His hand did not go through the screen as it did with Alicia and Cuppy. Just as he was about to try it again, the Cuphead book lying on the table opened and a claw extended from the page that Mugman recognized immediately. It was Lucifer. The devil from the book, the husband of Alicia and king of Inkwell Hell. Mugman showed no sign of fear or anxiety.
No he was good friends with Lucifer thanks to Alicia. Well, you could say that they did not attack each other. But seeing him here was a bit confusing for him. "Um..." Lucifer turned to him. "Where is she?" he asked Mugman as his yellow eyes stared at him. "Where is my Alicia. My Queen?". Mugman pointed to the screen of the TV where the next episode started.
He looked at the TV and felt her closeness. She was trapped in the world and could only come back with difficulty. But Lucifer did not want to give up. He wanted to go to her and hold her in his arms again, embrace her and feel her closeness while his tail knotted with hers. This was a feeling he desperately wanted to have. "Don't worry my love I will come to you soon".
It was the next day after the four had visited Quadratus to knit two special sweaters for both Cupheads to protect their souls from the devil. It was late afternoon when the four decided to take a little walk in the forest to forget about the devil. But for the two Cupheads it was a bit hard to get used to wearing the sweater forever. As Mugman explained it to them over and over again. Alicia agreed with him, because at least they would be safe. But unfortunately she was not really safe from the devil either.
Cuppy could get used to it. Only Cuphead could not. As soon as they were on the forest path, he wanted to take off the sweater. "Cuphead keep the sweater on!" said Alicia when she saw that he was out of the sweater with both arms. Or did it just look like that?
Anyway, he seemed to put his arms back into his sweater while grinning nervously at Alicia. Mugman, however, was not very enthusiastic. "You're wearing that sweater forever!" he literally got in his face with his nose. "But-", "No buts!", Mugman interrupted him. "That sweater's the only way the Devil can't get your soul. You can never take it off! Ever!"he explained. Cuppy agreed, "At least I'm glad I know my soul is safe," with these words he continued down the forest path and followed Alicia.
Only Cuphead disagreed "Eh. I ain't too worried about it" I knew he would say that Cuphead was about to follow the other two when the devil appeared out of a cloud of smoke behind Alicia and Cuppy. Of course, the two brothers were startled when the devil appeared in front of them, ready to grab Cuphead's soul with an outstretched hand.
"Your soul is mine!" the devil was ready to grab Cuphead's soul when he suddenly received an electric shock from the sweater. Alicia was startled when she heard his screams of pain. Unintentionally, she transformed into her Wyvern form and hurled the devil into the nearest tree with her tail end. The latter was stuck in the tree with his horns, twitching, when Alicia and the others looked at him. Dude, don't scare me like that ever again! she growled.
But Alicia was not the only one who was angry and annoyed. No the three cups were angry too. "He and Cuppy are never taking their sweaters off!" Mugman said as the devil looked at him still slightly woozy from the electric shock. "Yeah and Alicia will never be yours. Give it up!" said Cuppy. But the devil was not going to give up so easily.
He went down from the tree and growled at the three cups "Never!" he raised his trident and disappeared. When he was gone Cuphead had to laugh for whatever turned back into a human again when he was gone and exhaled in relief. "Oh man, he scared me," she said annoyed as they continued walking.
But just as she was about to set foot, the devil appeared before her again in a cloud of smoke while the three cups cried out in fear."Alicia, my dearest, do you want to-" before he could continue, she and Cuppy walked past him. "Sorry but she already has a lover" Cuppy said as he turned to face him. The devil growled and was about to grab his soul when he got another electric shock. Cuphead laughed at him again which made the devil even angrier. But he disappeared before demonstrating his anger. This calmed Alicia down a lot.
A few days passed after the unwanted encounter with the devil. Alicia, the three cups and Elder Kettle went to the beach to relax a bit. It was also a nice weather so why not? And Alicia wanted to go swimming. "I'll get us something to eat," but since Elder Kettle was leaving, she could not leave the three cups alone. Or rather, because she was the second oldest, she should take care of them.
That's why she sat under a Parasol and helped Cuppy build his sand castle while Cuphead buried his brother under sand except for his head. She didn't understand exactly why he wanted to bury him in the sand."So why do you want to bury him again?" she asked him. But Cuphead looks at her confused.
"Good question," he said, scratching his chin and grabbing the next load of sand on his brother. Or that's what he wanted if it weren't for the devil who suddenly appeared. Seriously not even here we have peace from you? Alicia was visibly annoyed. And this was not only because he suddenly appeared here but because she was almost naked. She had her body covered by the towel but you could still see her legs.
The same goes for Cuppy whom the devil tried to grab for his soul. "Give it to me!" he said, but before he could reach for the soul he got another electric shock. Cuphead grinned mischievously at him as the devil disappeared again empty-handed.
Alicia was at least glad that he didn't flirt with her again. He had a British accent, but she still didn't like it. Lucifer was far better. His fur didn't scratch when she buried herself in it while cuddling with him or lying in bed with him. She also liked it when he purred and his tail wagged. Yes, he was something special, even if he was sometimes too caring. When he noticed that she had a scratch or a splinter in her finger he immediately wanted to know who did that to her. I still feel sorry for the tree he torched. But she also had to smile. Elder Kettle returned with a tray of ice which he handed to the four.
Two days later after the beach visit, Cuppy, Cuphead and Mugman were playing in the backyard while the latter chased them with a garden hose. Alicia, meanwhile, decided to read a book that Elder Kettle had lent her. Immersed in the book, she did not notice that someone was suddenly standing behind her. She noticed it only when she turned to the next page and saw the shadow. A very familiar looking shadow to be exact. It was no mystery to find out that it was the devil. Like Lucifer, he sometimes appeared behind her to caress her or to hug her.
"Your serious?" she rolled her eyes as she closed the book and was about to stand up. "I mean it, my dearest" the devil answered behind her and wrapped his arms around her torso while his head lay on hers and purred. This was seen by Mugman who held the hose in the direction of the devil and waited for the right moment.
Annoyed, Alicia she tried to free herself, but the devil didn't give in and kept purring while his tail slowly wrapped around her waist. "Stay here my love" he held her chin and turned her head in his direction, ready to kiss her. But instead of her lips he got a full water load from Mugman in his face and was wet from Head to toe.
Both Cupheads laughed at him which made the devil even angrier. He leaned his trident against the wall of the house before trying to grab the souls of the two Cupheads with both hands. "Give me-" but since he was completely wet he became even more electrified than before, causing his fur to lightly catch on fire. Annoyed he went to his trident and disappeared.
Later that evening, Alicia and the others were in their beds, trying to fall asleep. Unfortunately, there was a problem. The devil appeared right next to Cuppy's bed and tried to steal his soul again. "...your-" the electric shock was heard and woke Alicia up while Cuppy continued to sleep peacefully. "You're serious?! I'd like to sleep!" she turned around annoyed and showed the slightly burnt devil her back before he disappeared. Fortunately, Cuphead had his rest this night and was not awakened by the devil.
But for this he was not spared in the shopping center. All four wanted to buy new clothes as the devil just burst in when Mugman showed him two Hawaiian shirts he could try on. One was green with blue floral pattern and the other blue with orange star pattern. "...soul!" and he was again electrocuted.
Realizing that it was useless to take Cuphead's and Cuppy's soul and that Alicia will not voluntarily sign the marriage contract. he gave himself a face palm and disappeared. "Did I miss something?" Alicia came out of the locker room wearing her hoodie. All three shook their heads while rolled with her eyes. She went back into the locker room and took out the rest of the clothes and brought them back. Unfortunately, she didn't like any of the clothes.
"Will the fireproof pants of Dirk Dangerous be enough to save a flaming bank vault full of orphans?" said the radio announcer. The four of them were in the living room enjoying the devil free time. Alicia continued to read her book, Mugman and Cuppy read the newspaper while Cuphead, who was extremely sweaty, listened to the radio show. "Tune in tomorrow for the stunning conclusion of Dirk Dangerous vs. Pyromaniac Pete!".
Alicia saw Cuphead straining and sweating, clutching to the table the radio was on as he turned it off. "So sweat-inducing!" he said and falls down on the floor while the others looked at him in confusion. Alicia skillfully ignored the puddle under him. She knew it was cartoon logic and didn't want to get into it. "You wanna see something even more sweat-inducing?".
Mugman asked him as he pointed to the newspaper in front of him. Alicia closed her book and put it next to her on the sofa while she went to the two and wanted to read the article, but Mugman already tore out the page. Really great. "Says here it'll go so fast, it'll... something. I dunno. But it's new, Cuphead, new!". He was more than impressed. "Oh! If we go now, we can get there before Elder Kettle wakes up from his nap" beaming with joy, the three were already walking to the front door.
Alicia, however, suddenly felt her wolf ears twitch. They only did this when she felt that something bad was coming or when someone was near her that she couldn't stand at all. She knew who was behind the front door. "Wait a minute I sense someone is behind the front door" the three cups stopped abruptly when they heard these words from Alicia who looked very worried. "Do you think that..." he didn't want to say it out loud but what Cuppy meant they all knew. Alicia nodded and thought about how they could best avoid him.
"Oh I doubt very much that the devil is right behind that door" Cuphead don't! But before she could stop him Cuphead already ripped open the door and in front of the front door stood the devil who did not look very happy but rather annoyed and a little bit angry. Well, his mouth didn't smile but sank down disappointedly. As if he had always been disappointed for whatever reason
Alicia rolled her eyes in annoyance when she saw him Can't I have a day of peace from you? and was about to close the front door, but the devil got in front of her. "Hand them over" he stretched out both hands while leaning his trident next to the door, ready to snatch the souls of Cuphead and Cuppy. But the latter rolled his eyes in annoyance and clapped his hands away. "Oh!" the devil uttered and withdrew both his hands while his left one reached for the trident before his eyes turned to the three cups.
"Would you get outta here? Elder Kettle can't see you" the statement confused the devil a bit "Who is Elder Ket-" but Alicia interrupted him as she pulled the three cups into the cottage and slammed the front door in his face. The growl and subsequent roar was hard to miss, as was the slight explosion. Or rather flame burst.
The four of them now knew that they couldn't just walk out of the house and Alicia was very reluctant to see the devil again. "Oh great now don't even come to the pier!" mewed Cuphead annoyed. Alicia felt for him and had a solution ready how they could avoid the devil. The latter, however, heard it when he calmed down again and listened through the door with his left ear. He growled when he heard that. Alicia was about to open the back door that was in the kitchen when she and the three mugs heard a familiar voice approaching. "Now don't tell me he overheard us!".
"Stupid cups making me go around the back. I'm the Devil! Nobody tells me what to-" furiously, he walked around the house until he stood in front of the four. So much for getting out of his way. Annoyed, she rolled her eyes as the three cups stared at him in annoyance. "Do you have any idea how much trouble we'll be in if Elder Kettle sees you here?" Cuphead said annoyed. Trouble is rather overrated. He would rather have a heart attack if he saw the devil.
But of course this interested the devil quite little "You two are already in trouble! You owe me your souls!" the devil told him. His eyes wandered from the three cups to Alicia, to whom he was about to say something, but then the three suddenly heard the voice of Elder Kettle "Hey!" Everyone was shocked and looked around in confusion while Alicia pushed the devil into a nearby bush. "Oh!" was his reaction followed by a flushed face.
A partially tired and annoyed Elder Kettle looked out the window. "What's with all the noise?" he asked annoyed as his gaze wandered to Alicia and the three cups. He suspected that the three cups were responsible for the noise. "Uh, nothing," Cuphead said nervously as Mugman grinned at him. "That was just a large cat..." said Cuppy as he couldn't think of what else to say until Alicia helped him out "Man". Still annoyed, Elder Kettle looked at the four as his eyes fell on something else "Well, tell him I'm taking a nap! And another thing" he pointed to the fence which was not only on fire but also lost its color due to the devil's outburst of rage. "Paint that fence! It looks terrible!".
With these words he closed the window behind him and you could hear him sleeping quietly. But the four were not very happy about the extra work. Not even when they saw the guilty one coming out of the bush. "Thanks to your little tantrum, the fence is all burnt up!" said Cuphead annoyed. "Yeah! What do you intend to do about that, huh?" asked Mugman, also annoyed. But the devil didn't seem to care. "Nothing! I'm the Devil!". "Nice excuse" said Cuppy annoyed as the devil looked at him and growled. Arguing doesn't help the matter though. Alicia knew more than enough that it would be useless to argue with him any further.
"Where was I?" Alicia already suspected what was coming next when she realized that the devil was now standing next to her. "Oh, yes, about you marrying me, my dearest Alicia, and becoming my wife and queen!" Alicia was strictly against it because she wanted to have nothing to do with the devil here.
Cuphead that it was unpleasant for her and had a solution ready "Hmm... Tell you what. You paint the fence,we take off the sweater and Alicia will be your Wife" Wait...What! Neither Alicia nor the other two mugs agreed. That's why the latter two pulled Cuphead to them and asked the others to follow him while the devil looked after them and was confused.
"Cuphead are you crazy?" Mugman asked him "Hold on. Let's see where I go with this" Cuphead said and whispered his plan to the others. Alicia wasn't very happy about it, but there was nothing else they could do at the moment and the three of them really wanted to ride the new ride. "Um I'm still here waiting for an answer" said the devil as he peeked around the corner. "Yeah we'll be right there" said Alicia rolling her eyes as the four decided on a plan and returned to him. "Well, what do you say?" asked Cuphead as he held out his hand to the devil.
"Let's see. I paint the fence. You two take off the sweater. I take your souls and Alicia will be mine" the devil thought and chimed in and agreed. Cuphead and Mugman gave him the buckets full of paint and brushes as he stood in front of the fence and was confused at first until he started tapping with a brush on several spots in the fence. "Painting the fence" he said and was thrilled with the way he did it. "Oh yes." But the others just looked at him confused. "Have you ever actually painted a fence or anything?" Alicia asked him, confused, because she had never seen anyone paint a fence like that before.
The same goes for the three cups that were also confused. "Looks like you have no idea what you're doing" said Mugman as they continued to watch him. Annoyed, the devil turned to the three cups while Alicia leaned against the fence. "Is that so?" his gaze wandered away from them as he looked to the buckets of white paint, "Watch this.". He put the brush on the ground next to the others and prepared a force that Alicia could as well. The color in the buckets changed and started bubbling as if they were boiling.
Um what? For whatever reason, she heard the music of In the Hall of the Mountain King softly in the background as the brushes were in the air and the devil chugged them one by one into different buckets before painting the fence in rainbow colors. He was completely distracted from his work. This was the chance to slowly sneak away. After all, Alicia was reluctant to stay here and become his wife. "And on the one, and on the two, here we go" he said while the brushes moved as if by magic over the fence and painted the bare spots. Out of the gate, Alicia changed into her wolf form to get to town faster with the others so they could make it in time to ride the new ride.
Even though Alicia was not a fan of roller coasters she rather wanted to enjoy the ocean view with Cuppy. Both of them didn't want to ride a ride that was so high and fast and because the long queue in front of them already spoiled the mood. "This line!" Cuphead said annoyed before the other two wanted to go. Only Mugman didn't seem to mind. "Hmm, say, Mugsy and Cuppy, hold our spot. While me and Alicia go and grab us some funnel cake" he explained.
"But you don't like funnel cake?" said Mugman confused. "And you don't like knitting soul-saving invisible sweaters, but you made me and Cuppy one" That was true he was not very happy about knitting the two sweaters especially since the wool itself was invisible and he pricked his finger several times. "The least I can do is buy you some funnel cake" that pleased Mugman very much. "Can I borrow five bucks?" asked Cuphead as he felt someone tap his shoulder. It was Alicia who had some money left. "I think I should pay" she said as Cuphead grinned nervously at her and Mugman while the latter just shook his head.
Both went to the stand where funnel cake is sold. "That'll be ten bucks" said the vendor an anthropomorphic hippo who handed the two of them two bowls with six pieces of funnel cake. Alicia paid him while Cuphead sprinkled over the two bowls with the powdered sugar shaker that was also at the stand. Only for him it means so much that he sprinkled the complete load on it whereby he and Alicia were in a cloud of powdered sugar smoke. Without thinking about it, the two walked past the line to Cuppy and Mugman while still inside the cloud that was made of powdered sugar. "Excuse me" said Alicia to the others in line "Are you kidding me?" asked a tiger with a blue bow tie that they passed.
The two arrived at Cuppy and Mugman's who were surprised by the cloud of powdered sugar. "There was a little powdered-sugar mishap," he said, but Alicia just rolled her eyes. She knew he was shaking too hard. "No problem!" said Mugman who didn't mind and took a piece of Funnel Cake from Cuphead. "I never say no to extra sugar" he poked Cuphead with the piece he had in his hand. Both enjoyed their portion as did Alicia and Cuppy.
Their portion was not sprinkled with powdered sugar as much as Cuphead and Mugman's. But it tasted just as good. Only now did Alicia notice that they had made more progress in the queue than before. Actually, she and Cuppy didn't want to go with the business, but since Cuphead dragged her along, she had to wait in line, too. "Hey, Cuppy, want to go to the dock?" she asked him as Mugman suddenly panicked. "You what?!" confused Alicia and Cuppy turn to Mugman and Cuphead.
"I took off the sweater" he said without thinking about it. You did what?! "Well, where is it?!" asked Mugman while shaking him and removing the powdered sugar from his body. Cuphead thought "Looks like I don't remember". This didn't make the situation any better as Alicia sensed that the devil was no longer near the cottage. "What happened to never take it off?!" Cuppy asked him. He was still wearing his, but Cuphead just took it off like that, which is typical for him.
"Big deal. It's not like the Devil's around or anything," he said, but he was wrong when Alicia sensed that he was very close and appeared behind Cuphead in a cloud of smoke, looking even angrier than before. Oh boy startled he jumped into the arms of Cuppy "The Devil! "Stay calm, Cuphead. He doesn't know you took the sweater off" Mugman whispered softly in his non-existent ear. To calm him down a bit.
"Oh, yeah!" he looked to the devil while Alicia tried not to be in his field of vision. Why does no one here react in panic? This confused her very much. At the carnival, all but the zombie visitors had run away. But here they pay no attention to him. "I painted your little fence. Now, off with the sweaters and Alicia my darling you come with me. Let's go" Oh no forget about it Romeo! "How do we know you painted the fence?" but Cuppy wanted to know if the devil could tell them the truth. That annoyed the devil again very much "I don't know. Go look!" Yes for sure. Alicia just rolled her eyes when he said that.
She didn't know if it was a trick or not. "It's actually quite good" and she rolled her eyes again in annoyance. But the four of them were not convinced. Once because they had been standing in line for a while and because no one felt like going back with him. At least not Alicia. She was reluctant to be alone with him and reluctant to leave one of the cups alone with him."Fat chance, buddy. We've been waiting in line all day ro ride the Obliterator".
This confused the devil a bit. "The what now?" he asked the pouting Cuphead until he looked up at the ride. Um no thanks. Alicia wasn't thrilled about it. She didn't want to lose her clothes like the group that was now on the ride. Cuppy swallowed nervously. He knew if he rode the Obliterator he would lose his invisible sweater. A sock fell on the devil's face as he thought of what Henchman and Amnon had shown him before he left.
"Hey, boss. It's the Obliterator, remember? It'll tear the clothes right off of you" when he remembered it, he had to laugh mischievously. Alicia, who was standing in front of him, heard it and had a bad feeling. "On second thought, I think I'll join you, boys and Alicia" Okay I'm off. "This ride looks like fun". Cuphead was very pleased "That's the spirit!". "Well then have fun with it because I-" said Alicia and was about to walk past the devil when he wrapped his tail around her waist. Sometimes I hate your tail "But dearest stay here" he said and pushed her in front of him at the place in the queue where she was standing before.
She tried to get rid of the tail that was wrapped around her waist, but unfortunately the devil held her tightly. In addition, he used the chance to cuddle with her. Oh great. Yes, Alicia was annoyed to feel his scratchy fur again.
Cuppy knew he couldn't do anything about it, or could he? His eyes wandered to Mugman who was trying to remind Cuphead to get his sweater, which was probably still in the cottage. "But it's almost time for the ride," he replied, which annoyed Mugman. "I'll go" he said annoyed and walked past the others. "Always doing everything around here because he took off the sweater" he whispered annoyed. However, Cuppy followed him "Wait, I'll go with you" he said.
This pleased Mugman very much. But Alicia wasn't, who was now alone with the devil and Cuphead. Don't you dare try to kiss me. Alicia still tried to free herself but unfortunately the tail was still wrapped very strongly around her waist. Of course, she already knew or suspected that he could exploit this to force her to sign the marriage contract. But she was wrong. He leaned with her against the wall next to his trident and began to stroke her cheek.
"Hey, Devil. Wanna hear a joke?" but before he could caress her cheek further he was interrupted by Cuphead, which relieved Alicia but annoyed the devil even more. "I hear nothing" he replied annoyed as he tried to ignore Cuphead and continue to stroke Alicia. But it didn't work. "What's worse than finding a worm in your apple?" he asked him. But he got no answer. "Finding half a worm in your apple." Alicia shook her head when she heard that.
But Cuphead tried to explain it to him, which made the devil even angrier. "Yes, I get it! Thank you and now leave me alone with Alicia!" he yelled at him before showing Cuphead his back again and looking at Alicia who tried to free herself. The devil grinned though "Maybe Alicia can tell me a better joke" Um what? She looked at him with her arms crossed and gave him a "you're serious" look while he nodded.
She rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Which is faster, heat or cold?" she asked them both. Both shrugged their shoulders. "Heat, because you can catch a cold" the devil had to grin and stifle his laughter. But you could hear it. "I saw a smile" said Cuphead. "You most certainly did not" he said, trying to deny it until he had to laugh himself. It didn't take long for the three of them to get to first place and just wait a bit. To pass the time, they took turns telling jokes.
Some were good while others were rather lame. Of course, the two do not know Kermit the Frog. Alicia gave herself a face palm as she told the joke and had to explain. "And then the banana says, Thursday!" Cuphead said as he and the devil laughed. Only Alicia remained neutral and didn't feel comfortable riding the ride. I would hate to lose my clothes. Her devil's mark turned from white to yellow.
"How delightyfully unexpected!" the devil said and wiped away his tear before taking a breath. "You know, Cuphead, you're not so bad after all," he said, patting him on the back. Oh damn. "Thanks," Alicia guessed that eventually the devil would notice that Cuphead wasn't wearing his sweater. Alicia he held tightly in his grip which led to the fact that she landed unintentionally with the face in his fur which pleased him again. The devil touched Cuphead's shoulder several times before turning him around and touching his belly to be sure.
He did not get electrocuted. "You're not wearing the sweater!" he pointed at Cuphead, who now also realized that he was in trouble. "Um...Am too!" He tried to talk his way out of it, but this time it didn't work because the devil approached him with a grin while still holding Alicia. She was now halfway with her face in his fur and tried to free herself even more but it was useless. The devil was too strong for her and Alicia had to watch with horror how the devil tore Cuphead's soul out of his body. "Are not!".
It all happened like slow motion for Alicia. Cuphead's soul was hanging out of his body just a little bit and was slowly going to the devil while the colors were fading out of Cuphead's body. The devil's pupils showed the soul of Cuphead. After this he had to wait so long. But finally he had one of the two souls and of course Alicia in his grip. But the joy was short-lived "You're right. He's not wearing the sweater" confused to hear that voice the Devil turned around and saw Cuppy and Mugman running towards him.
The latter jumped on him and held something in his hands. "You are!" it was the Sweater. With a jerk, the devil now wore the sweater and received one electric shock after another. Alicia didn't feel anything because the devil loosened his grip around her before Mugman put the sweater on him. She was on the one hand relieved to be free again, but on the other hand she saw Cuphead's soul slowly threatening to escape from his body.
So she took the chance and pushed the soul back into his body. Feels cold. His body was back to normal and the colors glowed again as Cuphead took a strong breath. Before he or the others could say anything, they heard the devil's screams of pain in addition to the electric shocks. Now they only had one sweater left but it didn't matter for now. Both brothers jumped into the now empty seat and enjoyed the ride on the new attraction while Alicia and Cuppy went to the dock and enjoyed the ocean view.
"Well the view is much nicer than the new ride" said Cuppy as he took a big tug and exhaled. "Yeah and I don't have to worry about my clothes" said Alicia as the two heard the voices of the two brothers behind them slowly getting closer and closer. "Wanna bet they're not wearing anything but underwear?" she held ten bucks in her hand. "You're on!" Cuppy, shakes her hand. They both turned around and started laughing when they saw Cuphead and Mugman.
Alicia had won and kept her money while Cuppy lay on the floor laughing. Both brothers were confused but thought nothing of it as they walked home with Alicia and Cuppy. "Wow! What a great day" said Cuphead. "Except I'm pretty sure the Devil's angrier than ever, and you no longer have the one thing that'll stop him getting your soul" Mugman explained to him. "Hey but Cuppy still has his sweater" said Alicia to lighten the mood.
Alicia still had to pull herself together since both brothers were still wearing their underwear and none of the visitors minded. "True and I got the best brothers and friend in the world looking out for me" said Cuphead as they continued walking. "Really make me feel so much less exposed". Now she really couldn't help but laugh when Cuphead said that and she looked at his underwear.
Fortunately, it was night when they arrived and went to sleep. They only had one sweater left, but Alicia tried to look on the bright side. Maybe we can find some kind of replacement for it. She hoped so, anyway. Because if she should sign this marriage contract, which the devil always has with him, she also belongs to him. I almost feel like an object. She didn't want to think about it. Lucifer was her husband and that was it. But as soon as she thought of the name, the tears ran from her eyes. Yes, she missed him.
Meanwhile, in the underworld.
"Well, that went just as I planned" the devil sat on his throne while his two assistants tended to his wounds. That the sweater was now off pleased him very much but unfortunately he lost fur on the belly, chest and arms. In these places, only the skin was still visible, which Henchman and Amnon took care of. Only that this treatment hurts the devil very much. "Yow!" he cried out while Amnon hid behind the throne in fear.
Henchman apologized to him "Uh, sorry, boss" he just sighed in response "And where is the sweater now?" he wanted to make sure that it was as far away from him as possible and difficult to reach. "It's hidden away..." Henchman started "...in an undisclosed location" Amnon finished the sentence in a whisper.
"Thank you, Henchman and Amnon" He pushed both of them away with his hands, because both of them got on his nerves more and more the closer they came to his face. "Perfect. Without the sweater, I can just go and take that one cup's soul any time I want!" the other cup was still wearing the sweater but somehow he could make him lose the sweater too. "And uh... what about the marriage contract that still hasn't been signed?" The devil heard Amnon's question and was about to say something but Henchman nursed his wounds again which made him squeals in pain.
In pain, the devil sat back down on his throne and let the two of them take care of him. "Uh, sorry, boss," the two said from time to time while the devil went through the agony and tried to think of Alicia. How she sits on his lap and lets him seduce her. Oh yes he wanted to do everything that she belonged to him. She should become his wife and queen come what may. And he didn't care who or what he should get out of the way so that he could finally have her with him.
"My dearest Alicia, soon you will be with me and together with me you will rule the underworld" he stood up from his throne and stretched out his left hand in the air before Amnon nursed the wound on the very arm where his skin was still visible and the devil sat down, whining in pain.
