The Cuphead Show: Fish out of Water

The Cupbrothers' Discovery!

Come with me to the Inkwell Isles

It's just off the coast, maybe twenty-nine miles

Where there's good and there's bad

And then there's in between

The citizens of Inkwell isles were now waking up from their peaceful slumber. The powerful storm that suddenly appeared out of nowhere was long gone, as if it never happened. Though the aftermath was a bit messy. Debris were everywhere, from broken branches to toppled trash cans covered the streets and roads of Inkwell Isles. Though, this was but a small inconvenience as the city workers began to clean up.  People went on their usual day: going to work, children going to school, sleeky figures ready to sell items on the black market and a very famous entertainer preparing for the day's radio show.  

With Cuphead and Mugman, you'll see what I mean

There was a forest not far from the city. It was a very beautiful forest, tall trees that provided the perfect shade from the hot sun and a variety of colorful dancing flowers.  Near the edge of the forest was a teapot shape house that was the home of Elder Kettle, his pet goat from the front yard and his two wards, Cuphead and Mugman. As the two brothers exited the house, Elder Kettle appeared from the bedroom window.

"Boys! Don't forget to buy nails and paint for the fence. The storm last night really did a number to our poor fence." 

He pointed at the now broken fence and a few planks still hanging. The color was faded on top of that. The cup boy with the red trousers and small red nose gave the kettle a thumbs up.

"Don't worry Elder Kettle! We won't."

His brother, a mug boy with blue trousers and a slightly larger blue nose nodded in agreement.

"You can count on us to get the job done."

The moment the kettle retreated back into the house, Cuphead and Mugman looked at each other with a sly look and chuckled together. They both begin to run towards the city instead. Cuphead and Mugman decided secretly to go to the beach and find any washed-up treasures the storm may have brought. 

Ice cream and rockets, trouble never ends!

Watch these ding-dongs as they make new friends 

They'll need some help just to stay on track

"Zig-zag, zig-zag!" The brothers sang and teased one another. 

As they ran through the streets, the brothers managed to see Porkrind carrying a crate of merchandise. He seemed to be nodding to a shady individual hiding in an alley, but the brothers didn't notice or care.  A Police officer was strolling along and paused next to a blind girl who held a miserable, rusty cup. Feeling empathy, the bee officer dropped a coin and went on his way. Unaware that the blind girl, disappears without a trace. The boys passed by three vegetables reading or rather spying over the newspaper at a potential sucker to scam over. If they paid any attention to the newspaper, they would've read the headlines that will very soon entice the residents of the island: Long Awaited CARNEVIL Now Open! 

Oh no, there's that guy! You better watch your back!

At long last, the brothers arrived at the beach. Still being the early hour, they had the beach all to themselves. Everywhere they saw were rocks, seaweed and broken seashells.

"Mugsy, did you remember to bring our shovels?" asked Cuphead

"Aye aye Captain!" saluted Mugman giving his brother his red shovel, while he held his blue shovel.

"Then let's search for hidden treasures matey! Arrrgh!"

The brothers began to search for any treasures. Throughout the morning, the brothers dig holes with no luck of finding a valuable treasure. That didn't mean that they weren't having any fun.

So, if you'rе lookin' for fun 

Yes, we're lookin' for fun! The brothers happily thought, as they continue to search. Just then, a howl was heard that made the brothers stopping from their digging. There was a brief silence before another howl echoed through the beach site.

" AAAA-OOOO!"

Cuphead and Mugman quickly dropped their shovels and held on to each other. They trembled non-stop, fearing something big was coming their way.

And a dash of heebiе-jeebies 

"We've got the heebie-jeebies!" they both said nervously, as they hear the howl again much closer. 

Then pack your bags and let's go!

Welcome to The Cuphead Show!

It happened so fast that they never saw it coming. Something jumped right behind and tackled Mugman to the ground. Cuphead jumped and turned to see a spotted dog licking Mugman.

"Huh? A dog?"

"Help Cuphead! Get this dog off of me!"

"Come here boy! Come here!" The spotted dog obliged and proceeded to lick Cuphead. "This little guy is cute and he seems to like you Mugsy," chuckled    Cuphead as he petted the dog. Mugman got up, a bit weary about the dalmatian but saw he meant no harm.

"I wonder who he belongs to?" wondered Mugman. As if on cue, the dog began to bark and pulling Cuphead towards a direction. The dog wanted them to follow him.

"The dog wants us to follow him, let's go!"

"Cuphead wait!" But it was too late and Cuphead ran after the dog. Mugman sighs and with no choice began follow his brother. He was sure something out of the ordinary was about to happen. Boy, he wasn't wrong. Not far from where they were, they found something or rather someone unconscious laying prostrate. The dalmatian wined and began to lick the person. 

The two boys approached the figure carefully. It was a human, very rare to see one here on Inkwell Island. They believe it was a boy, it had a shaved head, with light brown skin color and was wearing very strange clothing that they had never seen before. 

"Is he dead Mugsy?" asked Cuphead, poking the body with a stick.

"Hard to tell," replied Mugman as he began to check for a pulse, "help me turn him over Cuphead."

As they turned him over, they noticed that he was she by her obvious bosom. She had visibly dark shade of freckles on her nose and cheeks. Also, they noticed that her chest was heaving, she was breathing.

"Cuphead quick! Let's call for help!" commanded Mugman as he tried anything to help the poor girl. Cuphead saluted and quickly ran straight for help. The dalmatian dog ran after the cup, barking madly.
