Requested by my beautiful friend: -Muffled_Explosions- I love her.
If you go past the Root Pack, pass Goopy Le Grande, through Ribby and Croaks, fly around Hilda Burg, chop through Cagney Carnation, enter Inkwell Isle Two, eat past Daroness Von Bon Bon, wish through Djimmi the Great, pop past Beppi the Clown, fly by Wally Warbles, flame against Grim Matchstick, break through Inkwell Isle Three, climb by Rumor Honeybottoms, sail past Captain Brineybeard, swim by Cala Maria, storm past Dr.Kahl's Robot, sneak by Werner Werman, act past Sally Stageplay, hide through Phantom Express, then jump through Inkwell Hell and you'll finally see the two men yourself, King Dice and The Devil himself. Two of the men in charge of hell.
King Dice remembers the day he lost a bet to The Devil himself. That day he had to sign the contract.
Being the no good trouble maker he is, King Dice was a man of danger. A gambling man that lost no bet what so ever, people tried to warn him not to play the devils game. Oh, but it was too late, he already made a bet with the devil. "If I win you need to hand over your soul! If you win, I will be your servant and you will rule he'll!" He said as he pulled a contract out of thin air. As King Dice being the foolish man; he took the bet.
King Dice plaid the devils game, he was laid back knowing that the man wasn't gonna win. He was gonna win an easy way. Till the Devil laughed to himself, Dice looked up at the devil lay his cards down showing what they were. Two aces...
How?
How was he so lucky?! He was just an old man in a cloak! Oh, Dice couldn't be more wrong. The man took off his disguise turning into the devil himself. He pulled out a contract and put it up to Dice on the table.
"You lost, now pay the price! You have lost King Dice!"
Dice had no choice. He took the feather felt pen and wrote his name in cursive, agreeing to sell his soul to the devil. He didn't have a choice, either die by the devil or work by the devil. He would work under the devils feet and be the one to serve him the rest of his life at the hells casino.
He was pouring a bottle of Champagne in a glass, he gets the cigar and a lighter and he makes his way to the devils office. He knocks on the door 3 times.
"Boss."
"Who is it?" He grumbles loudly.
"Boss, your drink and cigar are ready."
He hears the man sigh at the other end. "Come in."
Dice comes in with a plater of a Champagne glass, Champagne bottle and a cigar ready to light. Dice sets the glass down first then hands Devil the cigar which the devil puts it in his mouth in which Dice lights it.
"Is everything holding up boss?" Dice asked holding the now empty plate plater.
Devil reached behind him and grabbed Dice by the bow tie and makes him look at the paper of how many contracts he's loosing from Cuphead and Mugman. "These kids are ruining the fun! I rule hell and Inkwell Isles! These people's souls are mine! I had got them fare and square! Just like yours!"
Dice was scared to move, if Devil is like his it was best for him to leave him alone but he had him in his grasp. There was no way for Dice to get out of this mess.
"If yours is gone then who am I gonna have?" Devil looked at Dice with his cold, dead eyes.
"Uh, no one?"
"Yes! No one! I'll be alone and ruined!" Devil started tearing up with his pinkish tears.
Dice was shook, he gently pats his fluffy back wrapping one of his arms around him as he saw the demon boy have his pink tears fall from his fluffy face.
"It's ok boss, I'll go my best to protect my contract." He pats his back again. He grabs tissues that was on Devil's desk. He whipped away his tears and let him cry all he wants. The Devil got up and swiftly hugs his side man. King Dice jumps, he didn't aspect this reaction from a lord of hell. But he didn't ask anything he just hugged back and slightly smiled at the sentiment.
~Many Battles After~
King Dice stops the two cup and mug children. "Well looked here! You actually pulled it off!"he adjusts his bow tie. "But you've made me loose a bet!" He looms over them in a devilish way. "And for that, you ain't seein' the boss just yet! We're gonna play a little game first!" He grabs them by their collars and threw them on a table as they grew tiny. He flipped his head in the air making if hit back down to where his neck should be. He makes them role the dice, snake eyes, just like they rolled during their bet that they lost. He starts the game. Fighting Tipsy Troop, Chips Bettigan, Mr.Wheezy, Pip and Dot, Hopus Pocus, Phear Lap, Pirouletta, Mangosteen, Mr.Chimes and himself. He fought and fought and fought and was going down. He couldn't do anything else he was done for, his limits were pushed. He falls to the ground.
KNOCKOUT
His vision went black his ears ringing before it fading out. He heard big foot steps after what felt like hours of silence without being able to open his eyes. He finally could open them and saw a lure of black, grey and yellow. The person kneeled down to him and picked him up and took him away where he eventually fall unconscious again.
He woke up. He looked around and saw his contract with little peaces of burnt edges. He realized he was at the Devil's office on his fancy couch he had. He sat up and saw the Devil on his chair at his desk with a bruised eye, wrapped arm and chipped horn.
Dice got up and realized his own injuries. His leg was hurting, his dice head was chipped and cracked, a few of his teeth were out and his clothing was a bit torn. He went up to the Devil and sat on his desk. "Boss, are you ok?" He asked as soft as he could.
"I'm not your boss anymore. You no longer have a contract, you don't need to work here anymore." He said with a sigh.
Dice thought for a bit. He could leave after being in captivity and leave. But what about Devil? What's gonna happen to him when he has no one?
I need to stay, if I don't I won't get employed and I won't have... him. I'm not scared of unemployment... I'm scared that he's gonna be gone... what do I feel right now? What is this? I care more about him than myself? How? How am I caring to a man that kidnaped me when I was a foolish teen? Is it cause... I know he cares about me? I like him?
I like him?
Why isn't this fitting in? I...
I love him?
I love him.
It feels right. I love him, I need to be with him...
He puts his hand on Devil's, the fluffy demon looked at him.
"I don't need a contract to stay with you." Dice said.
Devil gets up quickly pulling him by his dice head and kissing him. Dice was love struck, he felt the devils hot lips on his cold ones. He kissed back holding onto devils shoulders. They slowly pull away and saw the love in their eyes. Finally after so
long, Dice was Devil's little demon.
