BABTQFTIM - The Quest for her Heart [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter Twelve - Catch

Heyo, peeps. Your lazy and shitty author is back. I'll update more now that I'm back from vacation. Sorry if this chapter's a little crappy. I wrote this on my iPad in the plane, cut me some slack.

Comment if you get some similar moments in my Cuphead x Reader book, Memories.

SPLASH!

Felix threw a inflatable boat under Bendy, catching his fall. Water splashed everywhere, and ink flooded the boat.

"Bendy!" Boris yelled, scrambling to his fallen brother.

Boris kneeled down and say Bendy laying in a pool of his own ink, his brother was back into his normal 'form'. He picked Bendy up and cradled him, wiping the ink off of his face. Bendy was unconscious. Felix ran up to the wolf and kneeled down beside him as he looked at Bendy's frail condition.

Boris was on the verge of tears as he watched Bendy's chest slowly rise and fall. No longer did he looked like a monstrous, inky mess. Just a frail and fragile figure.

...
...

Minutes had passed, and Cuphead stared at them with pity. As much as his attitude said otherwise, he was worried. Sure, Cuphead had tried killing the ink brothers multiple times, but it was because of him, the devil.

Cuphead and his dear brother Mugman were drawn to the riches and wealth the devil had presented them at the casino. They gambled their lives away, blinded by the possible wealth they would receive if they won.

Yet, they lost.

Mugman was against it at the first place, yet Cuphead's eyes were clouded with greed. Thanks to his actions, people suffered under the ink illness' curse.

(Y/N) and Bendy suffered under the ink illness' curse. Because of him.

Others had to suffer because of his greed.

"Cuppy, I don't think this is a good idea! What if we lose?" Mugman said, anxiously looking at his brother for his answer. 

Cuphead chuckled, "we'll win for sure! I mean, we won all our previous games, we're just really lucky! I mean, just look at that pile of gold and diamonds! Don't you want it?" He said, pupils clouded with the possible wealth. 

They were practically dollar signs. 

"I-I mean, I guess you're right. We could become really rich!" Mugman said with excitement, dreamily thinking of how rich they would become. 

Mugman watched his dear brother roll the dice with anticipation, until his smile dropped when the dice didn't land where they intended it to land. The devil grinned an evil smile.

It was rigged.

"Hah! You lost. Now, you owe me your souls, boys! You shouldn't have gambled with me, the devil!"

The brothers were dragged to the throne room, where the devil sat on his golden throne with pride. 

"Any last words?" The devil asked them with an evil grin smeared on his fuzzy face.

Cuphead and Mugman dropped to their knees, begging for an alternative.

"Please don't kill us! Please, we'll do anything!" Cuphead screamed, tears threatening to fall.

The devil put his hands to his chin, "hmm." He said. 

"Please!" Mugman begged.

"Fine. I'll give you boys two options, listen closely. Either you spread the deadly disease - the ink illness - across the world once again, or give me both of your souls." The devil said.

"Cuppy, what should we do?! I don't want to die!" Mugman said, looking at his brother with worry.

"I don't want to either, Mugs." Cuphead said.

"Spread the ink disease across the land again, and spare our lives."

Now, his brother and (Y/N) were swallowed alive by this monstrous mermaid.

It was about time he faced the consequences of his actions.

It was time he gets what he deserved.

It was time for him to fight.

Cuphead did what he had to do. Use his magical powers once again, for his brother and (Y/N).

...
...

...

As Cuphead fiercely fought the ferocious mermaid, coughs were heard and Cuphead whipped around to face where the sudden sounds had come from - his unconscious victim.

Bendy coughed loudly, before his eyes fluttered open, slowly. Boris' beady orbs widened at his brother's sudden awakening, before squeezing his brother in a loving embrace.

"Bendy!" Felix said, wearing a warm and thankful smile.

A bright red coloured his cheeks, it was his idol after all.

"Mr. Felix?" Bendy asked, staring with wide-eyes at the famous writer.

"You're awake!"

-

Maria watched in anticipation and admiration as Mugman and (Y/N) twisted the gear with all their might.

(Y/N) swore she could see little hearts in the reflections in Maria's eyes when she turned to face her.

Yet, this cute moment of Maria's 'love at first sight' situation was ruined of the sudden cracks that formed on the floor.

Maria screamed in fear as gravity began pulling her down to her possible death.

"Maria!" (Y/N) yelled, her (E/C) eyes widening in shock.

The floor her new friend was previously trapped in had started falling, causing Maria to fall with it.

Mugman and (Y/N) sprang into action, quickly rushing to the mermaid's aid.

Cuphead's brother grasped Maria's hand and held it tight in his (#MARIMUG), as his other gloved hand squeezed the glowing, turning gear.

It was a different story for (Y/N).

Both Mugman and (Y/N) aimed for Maria, but Mugman had caught her hand first. Mugman reeled Maria in into a hug as he fell on his rear. More cracks erupted from the floor.

The hole had expanded, causing the floor beneath (Y/N) to tremble and break.

Maria hugged onto Mugman for dear life, while (Y/N) was about to lose her life.

The rock floor shattered and fell into what seemed to be the pit of death.

The mermaid was pulled out of the whole while (Y/N) took her place to fall in.

(Y/N) shut her eyes as she prepared for her death, Mugman and Maria screamed.

"(Y/N)!"
