Cartoon Trauma: Cuphead’s Fear

*NOTE: This a series originally created by me. If you see someone stealing off of me, tell a mod or admin immediately*

When I woke up, everything was blurry. I do remember someone breathing on me. I opened my eyes some more and what I saw just feet away from me was a group of killers. Each and every one of them, they all looked like little toys. I could easily tell that they were going to kill me, so I ran away from them as fast as I could. With them just inches behind me, breathing getting quicker, I knew I had to stop, but I kept running. I finally made it to an abandoned cabin where I hid with Mugman. Wait, Mugman?! I asked him where he was, and he said that he hid here when he saw a bunch of men chasing someone. Huh, well that makes sense.

I headed home with Mugman and we baked ourselves little cookies shaped just like us. After both of us got settled in, nice n’ comfy, Elder Kettle came bursting through the back door and started screaming, “THERE’S A MURDER ON THE LOOSE!” Both quivering, in unison, me and Mugman asked Elder Kettle to repeat the nonsense he just let steam out of his pot. ”THERE’S A MURDER ON THE LOOSE!” As soon as me and Mugman heard those words again, we started to scream and cry. Elder Kettle tried to calm us down, but nothing seemed to work. After we DID eventually calm down, we sat down and ate our cookies, now cold, disgusting! The News came on a bit after we finished our cookies, and they had a bone-chilling message, similar to Elder Kettles’.

'''HELLO, I AM CHIP AND I WILL BE YOUR REPORTER TODAY ON THIS “LOVELY” AFTERNOON. PEOPLE HAVE ENCOUNTERED MYSTERIOUS BEINGS, LARGE, DARK, MENACING BEINGS. THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN NAMED BY THE PUBLIC AS “THE DARK CHILDREN”. THE DARK CHILDREN HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO KILL CHILDREN AND DRAG THEIR BODIES UNDER FREEWAYS.'''

I sat there, continuously looking out the window every second, determined to kill those dirty scumbags once and for all. Mugman and I have already had enough of this stupid drama, so we both headed out and tried to track down those ”guys”.

We invited a few friends along with us, such as Cagney Carnation, Beppy the Clown, Ribby and Croaks, Hilda Berg, and lots, lots more. These folk agreed to help us after we had asked them to. Well golly gee, how nice of them! Now we have a full team! We can finally kill those rotten brats and then we could GrInD tHEm tO biTS aNd DRiNk tHeiR bLoOd aFterWarDs. Well, now you’ve met my dark side.

After we got to the city where The Dark Children used to hang out, we found some very interesting clues. For instance, we found bloody handprints, and a body bag. These two clues really stuck out the most out of all the clues we have spotted. The kind of useless clues were the magnifying glass, the wine bottle, and the fan. We took the body bag and collected the blood into a clean glass test tube. These clues led us to the forest. Where I was chased eariler! Oh no.

We found them casually strolling around the forest trails, laughing and drinking some whine and beer, also some usual adult drinks like tequila and all that boring crap. We yelled out to them and as soon as we did that, they stopped dead in their tracks. As they slowly turned their heads to face us, they let out a disgusting cracking sound. Their slow moves gave us a chance to attack!

Mugman ripped out one guy’s eye and swallowed it whole. '''Gross, mugs! '''I decided to stab one other guy in the stomach and then I started to rip out his innards and began to eat them in the process. '''Gross, me! '''Our other friends attacked to, but they lost their lives while fighting. With me and Mugman cornered, we decided our only chance was to USE OUR SUPERS!!

Eager to end this nightmare, both me and Mugman used one of our most epic supers ever. '''Mugman could turn into a ghost and he could also scare the heebie-bejeebies out of people! My super was long ranged shots and super strength'''. With both of our overpowered supers, we made a great team. We’re brothers, we fight now, and we fight '''together! '''We killed all of the members of The Dark Children.

Clothes all bloodied, both of us gasping for air, we stared at the horror show below us. Sighing in disbelief knowing that the true bad guys were long gone.

Me and Mugman both walked home, happy to be alive still. As soon as we walked through the door, Elder Kettle started to cry and hug us. C’mon Elder Kettle! Let’s watch some TV! I say we watch some '''National Inkwell Hockey! '''Elder Kettle and Mugman both agreed.

Me and Mugman also promised Elder Kettle to never wander into trouble again, but of course, that is another story.

I guess this story did have a happy ending after all!
