°°Chapter 2: Back To Walking°°

"Back to walking."
Mugman sat at the edge of the lake, Cala looked at little sad,"Sorry we have to go.", "It's okay, you seem to be on an important mission and I'd hate to be the reason for delaying your quest.", Mugman smiled as he stood up,"I hope to see you again, Cala!", Mugman walked back, while waving goodbye to Cala,"Goodbye. . .!", Cuphead sighed, Mugman rejoined the group as they headed for the exit.
"Mr Felix, you've been quiet, is something wrong?"
The group turned to Felix, who had been silent since they woke up and were now curious about what was on his mind.
"I've just been thinking about the piece, it seemed to be the source to why Cala was ginormous as well as the boulder spiders, which makes me believe that possible the Ink Machine Pieces have more of an influence than I had previously would have thought."
Cuphead frowned,"So, you're saying that gear thing in your bag is the reason Bendy turned into that Demon thing.", Bendy sighed as he looked away,"I still have no idea what you guys are on about.", Boris shuddered,"Heh, it's a long story.", Felix nods,"Well, I believe so though I do not have proof of this, but it also seemed Bendy turned back to normal when we removed the piece from her head.", Mugman nods,"So, does that mean each time we find a piece, we'll have to fight someone guarding it that's been corrupted by the piece and Bendy will be a Demon again?", Bendy smirked to himself,"I hope so, because from what Cuphead and Boris said, I was badass!", "Amd a little scary. . .", Mugman laughed nervously, Boris checked the map,"So, we have a few miles to go but we can take a break after a few hours or so, maybe sooner since the sun is really coming down on us.", Cuphead nods, pulling the collar of his jumper,"Telling me.", "You're the one that decided to wear a jumper, jackass.", Cuphead flipped him off,"Oh, fuck off how I was supposed to know it was going to be boiling?!", Mugman chucked,"Calm down, Bro. We have plenty of water and you can take the coat off.", Boris turned to Felix,"Will you be okay, I mean you're wearing a coat too and. . .", "No, no. I'll be alright, after many adventures I've grown to have a bit of a heat resistance.", Cuphead sighed, taking a water bottle from Mugman as they continued to walk down the unmarked path.
. . .
"Should we worry about us being on an unmarked path?"
"Don't worry, we have a map and we can always find out way back, and we can see the town from this far up!"
"Looks lovely with the sun shining down."

"Still no sign of him?"
Donald shook his head,"Nope. Think Figaro just wandered off in the hills after a butterfly?", Dasiy shook her head,"No, Figaro doesn't go far even if he's chasing something.", Goofy came over with Pluto,"Let's try if good old Pluto can sniff him out.", Mickey smiled,"That sounds like a swell idea and worth a try!", Goofy nods, Minnie smiled with hope as Pluto began to sniff around.
Mickey looked over to his brother, he noticed his brother had this. . .thinking look on his face,"Ozzy, you okay?", Oswald tapped the side of his head,"I'm not sure, I just have a sinking feeling.", Mickey tried to give him a positive smile,"I'm sure everything is fine.", Mickey then goes over to comfort Minnie leaving Oswald to think, he couldn't shake something off and the feeling was somewhat familiar.
