Scoots rolled the skeeballs into the holes, racking up points after points. 

The whole time, Apple Bloom investigated the machine to check if it was rigged, and Sweetie Belle was keeping her eye on the Devil, who was pretending to be innocent. 

Sweetie Belle: I got my eye on you, Devil. 

The Devil: Oh me, I wouldn't mess up your game whatsoever. I assure you. 

Sweetie Belle: Hmmm ... I've got good eyes like my sister. 

The Devil: What is she? Some sort of Drama Queen? 

Sweetie Belle: DON'T YOU EVEN DARE INSULT HER! 

Apple Bloom: Hey, that's funny, there's nothing weird about this machine. I thought there would be one of those tiny little demon imp things in here. 

Scoots: You thinking like how Porky would use it? 

Apple Bloom: Well, he was pure evil, like a demon. 

Scoots: That's true. 

They were getting close to the high score. 

Nearby... 

???: I'm telling you, Cuphead, we're in a big twist! 

???2: I already said I was sorry! 

Cuphead (Resident of Inkwell Isle! A troublemaking, but good-hearted piece of china who loves goofing around with his brother! Loves eating hot dogs! Voiced by Michael Kovach (Prepare to see more of this guy in the future!))

Mugman (Cuphead's brother! He is the down-to-earth and level-headed one! Will always push his brother in the right direction! Voiced by Frank Todaro (His voice actor from the TV Show!))

Mugman: The point is, now we've got to find all those contracts for the Devil, or else we lose our souls! 

Cuphead: Oh, it'll be easy. Besides, Elder Kettle gave us that potion that we can use to defend oursel- AGH! 

Cuphead ran into Mugman as he was staring with horror. 

Cuphead: Uh, Mugsy, what's wrong? 

Mugman pointed directly at the Devil, who was preparing to mess with the CMC's game. 

Cuphead: AGH! OH NO! 

Mugman: WHAT'S HE DOING WITH THOSE INNOCENT GIRLS?! 

They lunged at the Devil, and- 

The Devil: ARGH! WHO DID THA- WHAT ARE YOU TWO BRATS DOING?! 

Cuphead: We already had a deal! 

Mugman: We said we were going to collect those who skipped out on you already! You're not supposed to harm anyone else! 

The Devil: I never agreed to that! 

???: AHEM! 

The Devil: HUH?! STICKLER?! 

Stickler (One of the Devil's minions! He is the one making sure that no souls go uncounted for in Hell! The Devil finds him annoying for trying to put him in his place! Very irritating!) 

The Devil: What are you- 

Stickler: According to the rules of Hell, article 29, subsection 23, paragraph 4, an agreement made between those who have yet to be claimed souls must not be broken. Therefore, you must honor their agreement. 

The Devil was burning mad. 

The Devil: (calming down) Stickler, Stickler, Stickler. I'm going to claim these souls one way or another. TOO BAD YOU WON'T BE AROUND TO SEE IT! 

He pointed his pitchfork at Stickler and unleashed flames on, him, but Stickler was unharmed. 

The Devil: WHAT?! HOW DID- NO! YOU'RE WEARING THE- 

Stickler: The impenetrable invisible sweater. I myself am the undisclosed location. 

The Devil: TAKE IT OFF THIS INSTANT SO I CAN OBLITERATE YOU! 

Stickler: I believe, that would not be in my best interest. 

The Devil was really raging. 

Apple Bloom: Wow, he's angry. 

Scoots: Hey, thanks for that ... cup ... guys. 

Cuphead: My name is Cuphead, and he's Mugman. 

Mugman: Long story, this guy got us in trouble with him. 

Sweetie Belle: How? 

Cuphead: I ... uh ... well ... it's kind of a long story. We were at this casino. 

CMC: WHY?! 

Cuphead: I was bored. And well, I was on a roll, and then the Devil showed up, and challenged us to a game. 

Mugman: I tried to warn him! 

Flashback... 

Cuphead: WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER COME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE! IT'S ALL MY FAULT! 

Mugman: You're right! It is your fault! 

End of flashback... 

Scoots: Ooh, bad move. 

The Devil: ARGH! Anyway, this is far from over! I will get your souls; no one escapes from the Devil! 

Apple Bloom: But if we help Cuphead and Mugman win your game, then that means you leave us alone? 

The Devil: Uh ... I guess. 

Scoots: HA! WE'RE SMARTER THAN THE DEVIL! WE'RE SMARTER THAN THE DEVIL! WE'RE SMARTER THAN THE DEVI- 

The Devil: YOU ARE NOT SMARTER THAN ME! I'LL SEE YOU ALL IN HELL! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 

He and Stickler both disappeared. 

Sweetie Belle: So, where do we start? 

Cuphead: We got a list of everyone who skipped out on the Devil. 

Mugman: Yeah, and it's a long one. 

Cuphead: You're still mad. 

Mugman: YOU BET I'M STILL MAD! NOW YOU GOT INNOCENT BYSTANDERS INVOLVED! 

Apple Bloom: Oh, we're here because we really want to help you. 

Mugman: Oh, thank God! 

Cuphead: Okay, so, what do we say? 

Mugman: I- 

Cuphead: Let's hear it. 

Mugman: I'm sorry for yelling at you. 

Cuphead: That's more like it, Bro! 

Meanwhile... 

The Devil made a call to a big casino. 

The Devil: DICE! DICE! 

???: Huh?! Oh! Yes, D-Man? What can I do for you? 

King Dice (The Devil's Right Hand Man! He is the owner of the Devil's Casino! Loves putting on a big performance for his guests! A talented singer and dancer! Voiced by Wayne Brady!)) 

The Devil: We have more contenders in our little game. They're assisting both Cuphead and Mugman. 

King Dice: Is that so? My, this is going to be quite the show after all! And you know how much I love making a good show. 

The Devil: Of course, you're my Number One, after all. 

King Dice: Rest assured, I'll make things interesting. 

The Devil: Good. Oh, and another thing, Dice. If you fail me, then you know what happens. 

King Dice: I-I'm aware. 

The Devil: That's right, it was in the fine print after all.
