A Quest of the Heart

Chapter 17

Cuphead's Pov:

"Heh, sure is nice to see you and your dad get along." Cuphead told Bendy. Bendy only shrugged. Why is he so unresponsive? Cuphead decided to try to get his attention. "You know... I've been cheating on you." Again, only a shrug. Cuphead walked around in front of Bendy. He had a far-away look in his eyes. " Bends, what is up with you? Bends? BENDY?!" Still, he looked straight ahead. Cuphead grabbed his shoulders and shook him. Still, nothing. Just then, Boris, Joseph, and the others walked into the living room. "What's with all the yelling?" Boris asked. Cuphead turned to him, tears in his eyes."C-Cup? W-what's wrong?" He could hear the panic in Boris's voice. "S-something's wrong with Bendy. He won't talk or look at me." Everyone gathered around Bendy, now concerned. 

No One's Pov:

"Well, you didn't think I was gone did you?" The familiar voice turned everyone around to face him. The devil stood in the center of the living room. "Are you doing this to Bendy?!" Cuphead demanded. The devil merely nodded. "Who do you think you are, hurting my son?" Joseph asked. "Well, I hurt your wife; so why not your son?" Joseph's eyes widened. "After all, she was my sister. And I gave her the Ink Illness." Joseph collapsed in a fit of tears. "Y-you, what?" It was Bendy. He was blinking his eyes and looking at the devil. "Yes. I killed your mother. Happy now?" "Y-you k-killed M-Mom?" Bendy looked completely devastated. Suddenly, a flash of fur hit the devil.

Boris's Pov:

Boris bounced back off the devil. He let a low growl erupt from his throat. He looked at the others. They look scared. I know it's 'cause of me. "B-Boris? Is this you c-curse that y-you talked about?" He nodded. Boris's tail had grown along with his body. His fingers had grown claws and his fangs nearly outgrew his mouth. He knew it looked scary and that's why he hated using it. But, this time, he had no choice. Boris swiped and dug his claws into the devil, bouncing away when the devil attacked back. Suddenly, two blue lasers hit the devil, barely missing Boris. "Hey, bastards! watch where you aim!" Mugman winced."S-sorry, Boris. I didn't-" "We're sick of you messing with our family! It's payback time!" Cuphead and Mugman powered up both of their lasers on both hands. The devil prepared to strike back. The Cup brothers fired.
