Ch. 20: How Sally Stageplay Really Died/Confronting Marcy

You ended up crashing out on the bed as you went back into yours and the Devil's room. You're laying there as you sleep. The radio is still playing and it's playing Dream On by Aerosmith. The doors open and in comes Henchman. He says, "Uh, (Y/N)." He sees you sleeping. He says, "Oh... She's sleeping." The Devil comes walking over and he looks in.

He smirks and says, "I'll wake her, Henchman." He walks in and he gets to the bed. He puts his hand on your shoulder and he shakes you a little saying, "Pss. (Y/N)... My dear." You sigh as you lay there. He shakes you again saying, "Oh, beautiful.~" 

He suddenly leans down and presses his lips against yours into a kiss. You sigh and you smile as you feel it and you return it. He pulls up. You groan a bit and you sit yourself up. You say, "What time is it?" 

Henchman says, "Approximately 7pm, boss's lady." You say, "H-hey, Henchman... Nobody tried to get to you, did they?" He shakes his head for no. You smile and you say, "Good." Devil says, "How were you while I was out?" 

You sigh and you say, "Oh man. Something I did NOT expect, at all." Devil and Henchman look at you. You look at the Devil and you say, "I've just learned not to fuck with the auditor." He says, "What? What do you mean?" 

You say, "He has a darker side than we thought. L-look. I know having a dark side is normal in the underworld, but I didn't expect Stickler of all people to suddenly snap. He's more ruthless than you think, babe." 

He says, "Snap how?" You look at him and you say, "Let's just say we've underestimated what he's capable of. He had two huge demons restrain me, so he could confront me. Tell me he's had enough. I just... I didn't expect that." 

The Devil says, "So, the gawky little auditor actually does have the qualities of something much more than just auditing, huh?" You nod and you say, "I'm not messing with HIM again. Because... fuck that. I'm not risking it. He even intentionally threw his book down to confront me." 

Devil says, "What? That Stickler has never done that. You must've really triggered the guy, huh?" You say, "Yeah. I guess so. Never underestimate someone who seems boring. He's actually kind of a brute. What actually quiet auditor gets two huge demons to rip a woman's shirt open before confronting her?" 

Henchman says, "Aw, gee. I wish I had stayed behind." You say, "Henchman. Hey. Don't worry about it, dude. It's not your fault... It's mine. I guess it's what I get for acting like an idiot. Being a queen does that to you, I guess." 

Devil says, "Hey. Don't worry about it, my dear. You still have control over the majority of them. Even Stickler himself. It just seems he finally showed a darker side than usual." You smile and you get up.

He says, "By the way. Have you been told who the sacrifice is?" You say, "Marcy Stageplay?" He says, "Yes." You say, "I guess Stickler wasn't lying about that." He says, "Well. He's right. Your FRIEND from the surface has turned on you. Nobody's turning on MY queen. If there's anything you need to say to her, you're more than welcome to." 

You look at him and you say, "Actually. Yes... I do have something to say." Henchman says, "Oh boy. I don't think I like where this is going." You say, "It'll be alright, Henchman. Just some things I need to let out to my... friend." Devil says, "Come with me. She's right down in the throne room." You follow him and Henchman out.

You get down in the throne room and all the imps are there. Nelly says, "Oh, chick. Do we have a surprise for you." You say, "It's no surprise, Nelly. I know. And I'm confronting her, myself." Nelly says, "Oh shit." Devil says, "Your granddad's down here, too." 

You say, "What? Granddad too? Why him? He never did anything to hurt me. He was there for me." He says, "He has something to tell you about what he knew the whole time but didn't have the heart to tell his own granddaughter... about Marcy." You say, "What?" 

You get to the others. You see King Dice, Stickler's there too. You see your grandpa Cuphead and Marcy herself. You approach Marcy and you say, "So... Marcy. I've heard quite a few things. Tell me, my friend... Is it true?" 

Marcy says, "Yes! That short teal blue dork with the glasses wasn't lying, (Y/N)! I didn't want to attend your wedding... You married the Devil for Christ sakes!" You say, "And?" Devil holds back a chuckle. Marcy says, "You used to be alright. You really did. Now look at you... A hell whore. A total whore. I heard you were sleeping with that King Dice guy, too. Ha! Slut." 

Cuphead looks at her angrily and says, "Marcy. Keep your mouth shut about my grandbaby." Marcy says, "Oh, blow it out your ass, you old bag of crap! She's just as bad as you were before and her jailbird mom!... You turned on me, yourself." Cuphead sighs and says, "She has to know what you did. Involving your great-grandma." You look at your grandpa. Marcy growls.

Cuphead says, "(Y/N)... Marcy let her grandma die." You say, "What? You serious?" He sighs and he says, "I'm afraid it's true, honey. You see?..." Marcy growls. Cuphead says, "Days before Ms. Sally Stageplay died, Marcy was the last to visit her. But with horrible results. She put poison in her food and put her on bedrest. Acting innocent and loving." 

You're shocked and you look at Marcy. She looks away and huffs. You look at your grandpa. He says, "She died three days later. Marcy revisited her and put more poison in her food and beverage." Your eyes widen in shock. 

Your mom says, "Holy shit. Yeah, I was a shitty mom. I admit. But Marcy did that to her own grandma? Goddamn. At least I felt remorse after leaving my own daughter in a hot car that one time. I was high off drugs." 

You say, "I see. Now I know how poor old Sally died. At the hands of her own granddaughter who she thought was a fucking saint..." You face Marcy and you say, "But is a major fucking hypocrite. Especially if you're calling ME a whore." Marcy looks at you.

You say, "Unlike you, Marcy... I haven't even been with a quarter of the guys you have before I got down here. What gives you the right to judge? You're hypocritical when you tell me that I'M the slut. You were sleeping with at least nine guys upon the surface." 

She says, "I did it because they were all trying to get to YOU!" You look at her. She says, "You were always the hot friend. The beauty. The princess. They all thought you were prettier than me... and I hated it. And the bond between you and your grandfather. Ugh. Really? At least I had MY actual parents around to care for me. Not some old fart. Your mom was in jail and your dad was dead." 

The others look at her. Devil puts his hand on your shoulder and says, "The choice is yours, dear... She lives or she dies. Up to you." You look at Marcy and you suddenly say this, "Let her live." The other demons look at you in shock. Even the Devil, Dice, Henchman, your mom and others.

You say, "She's not worth the sacrifice. If anything, I'd rather see her live the life of regret. Grow old and live alone for the rest of her days." Devil listens in, interested in what you have to say. You say, "Death is too good. Too peaceful. At least her grandmother's at peace. I want Marcy however to live as long as possible... so karma can get to her and slap her right in the fucking face, starting next week from now. She'll be old one day. And no family will visit her. She'll have to live with it. Tough shit." 

Marcy suddenly sees everything go red for a split second. She sees you just standing there, doing nothing. No reaction or anything. You say, "Take note, Marcy sweetie... Nobody messes with the queen of Hell. Especially when she's been a good friend to you all of these years. And you made a huge fucking mistake, turning on me like that. Now... You'll pay the price. Take her back up." 

You look at your grandpa and you approach him. You hug him and you say, "I'll never hurt you. Not you." He sighs and he hugs you back saying, "No matter where you are. What you are... You're my granddaughter, (Y/N). Do what you need to do. Nobody's going to hurt you or your mother." 

You smile and you say, "Thanks, granddad." You kiss him on the cheek and you pull away. You walk over to the Devil. Devil says, "Send the surface dwellers back up to Inkwell Isle, would you Dice?" Dice says, "Sure thing, boss." Dice has Marcy and your grandpa follow him back up to Inkwell Isle. You walk off with the Devil, Henchman and your mom. 

As King Dice leads your grandpa and your ex best friend away, Marcy looks at Cuphead and she growls and says, "You stupid old coot." Cuphead gives her an angry look and says, "Whether my granddaughter's with the Devil or not, nobody's going to harm her. You had this coming, young lady. You hurt MY grandchild." Dice just chuckles at their argument as they walk off.

As you walk with the Devil, your mom and Henchman, your mom says, "Damn, kid. You're cold as shit. You do have the qualities as a demonic woman." You say, "She's going to get what she deserves. Let's get some drinks." 

Devil grins and says, "I say yes." Your mom says, "I'm in." Henchman says, "Y-yeah. Okay." Your mom says, "Let's just hope Henchman doesn't get carried away with the booze again." You all walk off.
