Mikey and Leo ran up to the surface, where the apocalypse is happening.

Mikey: You know who took Mugman?

Leo: Yeah, and it's an enemy of Cuphead's and Mugman's. And Chalice's as well.....was there a horn in Cuphead's chest before he died?

Mikey: Yeah, and I pulled it out. I didn't take a good look at it, though. I still have it.

Mikey pulled out something from his jacket pocket to reveal and gold horn.

Leo: That's what stabbed him?

Mikey: Yeah.....and it was big enough to kill him.....

Leo: Oh, my god....Com'n. We need to go rescue Mugman. He needs us.

Meanwhile......

Mugman: Ugh....what happened?

Then, Mugman finds himself in chains.

Mugman: Huh?!

Mugman struggles to free himself but the chains only tighten.

Mugman: OW!

???: I warned ya.....the chains will only get tighter....the more you struggle, the tighter the chains become.

Mugman: W-who are you?

Then, he saw that the person carrying a pitchfork.

Mugman: ?! N-no.....it can't be....

???: Surprise, Mugman.

Mugman: You!

Devil: Miss me? Admit it, you missed me.

Mugman: Hardly. You almost killed my friend and my brother. And me.

Devil: Oh?

Mugman: Don't play dumb! I was there!

Devil: Well....I have something to confess. Remember that night in the alleyway?

Mugman: Hardly.

Devil: I was the one who attacked your beloved brother.

Mugman: !! N-no....it can't be.....you got to be joking!!

Devil: Oh-ho-ho....it's not a joke, boy. You see....when I attacked your brother, he knocked the pitchfork out of my hands....and I wasn't gonna let him get away.....so....I used one of my horns to stab him. And when I heard someone coming my way.....I left. You and your blue turtle friend didn't suspect a thing.

Mugman: Y-you.....

Mugman looks down, tears threatening to spill.

Mugman: You killed him.....

Devil: I finally got rid of that cup and that stupid chalice killed herself to save your blue turtle friend. You have no one else now.....you're all alone.

Mugman: You.....

Mugman raises his head and faces Devil angrily, tears streaming down his face.

Mugman: YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!! HOW COULD YOU?!!?! YO-

Then, the chains got even tighter around the little mug.

Mugman: AHHHH!!!

Meanwhile, with Leo and Mikey.....

Leo: This must be the place.

Mikey: Let's go rescue our friend.

Later, Leo and Mikey peered through the rooftop.

Mikey: (whispers) There he is.
