Chapter Two

Cuphead's P.O.V:

"Alright Mugs! We're totally on a roll here!" I exclaim to my brother as I roll the dice in my hands again. Come'on baby give me a six! I throw the dice onto the table, damn what luck! exactly a six on my roll! Mugman cheers me on as I keep winning in all of these rounds!

"My! These boys can't be beat!" a voice exclaims in a surely mischievous way. I look over my shoulder as Mugs stares at this dice man looming over us. Holy crap! Wait a second... is there something familiar with this guy? Mugs holds onto me for dear life as I just drop the dice in my hands and they scatter onto the carpet floor. He's really intimidating!

"U-Umm.... C-Can my brother and I help you with something..?" I ask meekly. The dice man looks at us with that same creepy and mischief smile. He uses his two fingers to smooth out his cheeks. Making his smile even wider. Okay this is going to a whole new level of 'what the fuck'.

"Why yes! There is... since you two are so 'lucky'. Why not test your luck a little harder?" He asks us, "Oh boss! We have some cups who would like to try there luck a little harder!"

"Oh is that the case now?" A new voice questions the dice man. Mugs and I see coming to us a dark figure with long white horns. A extremely toothy smile, all along with a golden trident in one of his hands, "Very well then, boys... I have a deal for you two..."

"Devil sir? it's by now my daughter's end shift. May you let her free now?"

"Very well King Dice..."

Daughter?! King Dice?! Is (Y/n) his daughter?! It'll explain a lot for about the matching dice heads. Is this also how (Y/n) has the nickname 'Princess Dice'?!

"So? What do you say boys? If you two can manage to roll one more six, then all the money here in the Casino is yours! But if you two lose, then your souls are MINE!"

Hold up WHAT?! All the money in the Casino will be ours if we roll one more six?! Hell yeah I'm more than down for that! I go on my knees as I pick up the dice on the floor as I quickly scoop them up and shake them up in my palms. Mugs tries to hold me up, but what's his problem?! We're going to get all the money in this place if we just roll one more six in this game! I toss the dice onto the table as Mugs stares in horror. The dice stop rolling around, I stare as I see-.

"SNAKE EYES!" Devil booms proudly. I gasp in horror as Mugs and I fall to our knees. This can't be happening! Please!

(Y/n)'s P.O.V:

My shift is officially over! Perfect I need a break! I see out of the corner of my eyes my dad King dice running over to me.

"Hey daddy! What's all the matter now?"

"COME ON SWEETIE LET'S GO SEE SOMETHING GREAT!" My dad exclaims with excitement as he scoops me up in his arm and starts to run back to where this thing is happening. I drop my serving tray as he runs with me with him. I see what he's running to in a clearer moment. Is that... Cups and Mugs?! With Devil?!

"I see you want your daughter to see what happens next correct?" Devil smirks devilishly.

"(Y-Y/N)?!" Cuphead and Mugman ask me in shock as they see me with my dad. Oh no... please I can't afford to be scared of again!

"Anyways... there is something you boys owe me... YOUR SOULS!" Devils exclaims as he is more than ready to take Cups and Mugs souls. I can't allow this anymore! I'm so sick of it all! I shift out of my dad's grasp as I quickly cover Cuphead and Mugman with my body. Devil looks at me with a confused face, but that quickly changes as he smirks at me evilly, "Move it Princess Dice, this is my work your getting in the way of..."

"I know what I'm doing is crazy, But I won't let you take there souls away Devil! I won't EVER allow it!" I say bravely as I can feel my heart pound out of my chest. Devil laughs insanely as Cups and Mugs looks me with complete shock and surprise.

"P-Please there has to be another way!" Cuphead begs with so much hope in his voice. Devil turns back to Cuphead as he has another smirk plastered on his lips as he looks at me, then Cuphead and Mugman.

"Well maybe there is another way..." Devil tells Cups and Mugs as he holds up a contract in his hands, "I have some runaways who haven't paid there debt yet. Go collect there souls by midnight tomorrow and I can spare your souls of your own."

"N-No Devil please! Just let them go this isn't worth they're life on this dirty work!" I say as I force the words out of my mouth. I can feel my dad glare at me as I feel my heart race. Devil stares at me with a evil grin as he walks closer to the three of us.

"Well... unless you want to join these bozo's on there soul collecting journey Princess Dice. You can't do anything else to stop this!" Devil informs me harshly as I hear his loud words hurt my ears slightly. I turn around to see my dad giving me a disappointed face as I sigh. I... I can't let this slip by again!

"I-I'll go with them! And I swear to god I won't let you take there souls even if it kills me!" I snap at Devil. The devil himself. Oh my god... I'm regretting my life now.

"Very Well then Princess. Go and risk your life with two useless cups. But I want all these souls by the second midnight! Or else ALL your souls are mine! Including YOU (Y/n)!"

Mugman's P.O.V:

Cuphead, (Y/n) and I all get kicked out of the Devil's Casino as we have all our faces plant into the sandy road. I'm holding the list of cartoons we need to collect there souls from. Oh dear... isn't this gonna go great. I stand back up to my feet as I hurry and help Cuphead and (Y/n) up. (Y/n) dusts her purple skirt as she looks at the two of us, then she sighs as I bet Cups and I can both feel sorry for her.

"H-Hey (Y/n)... We're so sorry we dragged you into this..."

"It's fine Cups, I never thought I'd finally stick up to myself... or for others..."

"But you don't even know us that well!"

"Mugs... I guess I just have a bit of a big heart. I wish others can know that about me, but it's my stupid dad that makes things for me so much more harder! Because his work with Devil..."

Wow. So (Y/n) is very lonely. All because of her dad's work with Devil. I can totally see how she's holding up with tryin to live her life normally. It's honestly heartbreaking to me to know this about her! She's so sweet and kind! Not to forget a cutie~

"Anyways... Mugs! We need to get to elder Kettle! He'll know what to do! And let's bring (Y/n) so we can do all of this together!" Cuphead exclaims as he takes (Y/n)'s hand an drags her with him as we all run. I'm right behind (Y/n) an Cuphead as I can feel the jealousy grow inside me. But I need to shrug it off! All our lives are in danger!
