Our heroes fell out of the portal into a golden hallway. "OW! What the hell is that landing?!" Cuphead yowled. "Agh, trust me, I'm getting the hang of it too." RG replied.
Suddenly, a new voice caught their attention.
"heya. was wondering when you'd show up."
The two turned to see who was talking to them. Oddly enough, they couldn't see anyone until...
"right behind ya."
RG yelped and flinched. Cuphead, out of instinct, aimed his finger gun. Behind them was a familiar skeleton wearing a familiar sweater and familiar shorts with familiar slippers. Sans just stared at the finger in amusement. "yep, you found me, heheh. you can stop with the pointing now. i'm not going anywhere." Sans said. RG slapped Cuphead's aiming hand, causing him to flinch. "Ow! What was that for?!" Cuphead questioned. "So you don't shoot people like a crazy person." RG answered in a blunt tone. "... Fair enough." Cuphead replied.

"hey kid, this you?"
RG looked at Sans to see he had one of those green posters. She shuddered a bit, which Sans caught. "i guess so, huh. wonder what you did." Sans said with a shrug. "Well... uh... it's a long story." RG told him. But before anyone else could do anything, Cuphead aimed his finger gun again. "If you're gonna kill my pal, you gotta get through me first!" Cuphead spat. "Roses are red, cacti are prickly, holy shit this escalated quickly." RG quietly mumbled.
Sans simply moved Cuphead's finger gun to the side by moving his finger. "i wasn't actually planning on killing her, bud." Sans admitted. Cuphead perked up a bit. "Oh, good." Cuphead responded. He stopped aiming his finger gun. "well..." Cuphead slowly starting aiming again before RG grabbed his hand. "not unless she killed someone, and you know that murder is quite the crime." Sans concluded. Cuphead stopped aiming and just shrugged. "Fair enough, I would've done the same too." Cuphead replied. "Boy you tried to kill me just 10 minutes ago." RG stated. Cuphead had this look of realization before rubbing his head nervously. "Oh yeah! That was for the reward though." Cuphead added. "oh, i think i know what you're talking about." Sans said. RG nervously stepped back. "hey, don't worry kiddo, i'm not gonna kill ya unless you really did something bad." Sans assured. RG breathed a sigh of relief.
While the three were talking, another human walked in the corridor. They seemed to be a bit surprised that there was another human with Sans, along with a dude with a cup for a head.
"oddly enough, you two showed up at a real bad time. monsters are dying, so i'm here to stop the cause." Sans told them. RG felt her smile drop. "Can we help?" Cuphead asked. "uhhh..." Sans scanned the two for a good moment. "eh, sure. the kid should stay back though." Sans answered. "Which kid?" RG asked. "... the tall one." Sans answered. "Ha!" Cuphead laughed, then realized that Sans had basically called him short. "Hey wait a minute, I'm not THAT short!" Cuphead remarked. "sure you are. you're as short as the kid over there." Sans replied, pointing towards where Frisk was. RG flinched upon seeing them. "Jeez!" RG exclaimed. Cuphead's pupils shrunk. "Oh." Cuphead responded.

Suddenly, Frisk struck first, trying to slash Sans. Sans dodged with ease. Cuphead shot blue bullets at Frisk. Frisk stood still, thinking that the bullets wouldn't hurt them if they did, but to their surprise, the bullets did hurt them. Frisk attempted to slash Cuphead, but a bone shoved Cuphead out of the way. "Ack!" Cuphead yelped. This cycle continued, with Sans dodging every single one of Frisk's attacks and Cuphead being shoved by bones every time Frisk slashed at him.
Cuphead was getting annoyed, purely because there were no pink attacks for him to parry. RG noticed this, and quickly snagged one of Sans' bones while he was busy firing them at Frisk. She (somehow) painted the bone pink, causing it to turn into a pink attack. "Cuphead!" RG called out. Cuphead glanced at RG. "Aha!" Cuphead exclaimed. He proceeded to parry the pink bone a good amount of times before he was ready for his special attack. First, Cuphead fired a saw bullet at Frisk. Frisk dodged it, but then was hit by the boomerang-like bullet. "Everyone, stand back! This is gonna be one hell of a knockout!" Cuphead announced. Sans simply stood beside RG. Cuphead jumped up, the liquid in his head glowing. Frisk jumped up too, in an attempt to slash Cuphead. Cuphead's head blasted liquid at a fast rate, catching Frisk off guard. Cuphead landed on his feet, and he raised his finger gun to the air. "Knockout!" Cuphead proudly exclaimed.
Sans slowly clapped his hands(?). "great job kid." Sans said. Cuphead turned toward the two. "Heh, I know. I'm so great, aren't I?" Cuphead boastfully questioned. "Aaaaand you just inflated his ego." RG said. "eh, let him. kids are kids, and i'm sans the skeleton." Sans responded. RG glanced at Sans with an unamused look. She then smirked with a chuckle. "Heheheh, nice. I'm RG, and that cup kid is Cuphead." RG replied. "nice to meet ya." Sans said.
