The Cuphead Show x ROTTMNT Crossover

Chapter 18 (Finale Pt. 2)

Raph: Cuphead.....I'm so glad to see you....how are you doing, bud?

Cuphead clenches his fists.

Raph: ?! C-Cuphead?

Cuphead: (sniffle)

Raph kneels down in front of him.

Raph: You okay? You can talk to me, y'know-

Then, Cuphead threw himself onto Raph and hugged him as best as he can.

Cuphead: (sniffles)

Raph fell on his knees and gently hugged the little cup.

Raph: I know it's hard.....but you're not alone anymore.....I'm here......

Cuphead letted out a loud, hurtful sob. Raph hugged him tighter.

~

A few minutes later, both of them released from the hug and Raph looks at Cuphead, who has tears tracks on his face.

Raph: Feeling better?

Cuphead nods.

Raph: That's good.....

Cuphead wipes his face and his eyes are red and puffy from crying.

Raph: I heard you didn't talk for a whole month. What's going on?

Cuphead didn't say a word.

Raph: Cups?

Cuphead opens his mouth to speak but only coughs come out of him.

Cuphead: (coughing)

Raph: Whoa, whoa! Are you feeling okay?

Then, Karai came in the building.

Karai: Rapheal....what's going on here?

Raph: Something's wrong with Cuphead. He's not talking and he won't tell me why.....I know he got stabbed in the chest but something else is definitely wrong....

Karai: Oh, dear....

Karai walks up to Cuphead, who looks up at her.

Karai: Are you okay?

Cuphead holds his neck with his hand and Karai notices.

Karai: Is there something wrong with your neck?

Cuphead shakes his head.

Karai: Please don't lie to me....I can tell you're hurting....

Cuphead nods and removes his hand from his neck.

Karai: Oh, my....

Raph: What is it-

Then, Raph saw a scar on Cuphead's neck.

Raph: !

Karai: Who has been hurting you?

Cuphead shakes his head.

Karai: No one hurted you?

Cuphead looks away.

Raph: Something's wrong....

Karai: None of the spirits hurted him because they were always so kind to him....

Raph: Were they kind to him when you aren't there?

Karai: Hmm....you make a good point.

Karai turns to Cuphead.

Karai: Did one of the spirits hurt you?

Feeling defeated, Cuphead looks down and nods slowly.

Karai: Who?

Cuphead:........

Raph: He can't talk.....

Karai: I know....

Raph: The person probably threatened him if he told someone they hurted him.

Karai: I feel anger rising inside you.

Raph: No one hurts my friend. Not even spirits.

Karai: We'll find who hurted him....

Raph: But how?

Then, they heard footsteps.

???: Perhaps I can be of assistance.

Raph and Cuphead: !!

Welp....that's the end of part 2. The next part will still take place in the afterlife and we'll go back to the rest of the gang. But for now....see y'all in the next chapter! BAI! <3
