Chapter 10 - Baby Bottle (5/5)
As soon as Baby Bottle ripped the teddy bear's head off, Mugman became furious, he gasped at first, but it wasn't leaving the fact he no longer saw baby as something precious, exclaiming:
- I'M GONNA KILL THAT THING!
- And you started to see the truth only now - Y/N said, shaking his head left and right - Disappointing, need to say
But even though he himself was calling Baby Bottle a thing some time ago, Cuphead chose to stop his brother, he pushed him, preventing the situation from escalating any further:
- Mugman, no! It's a baby!
- It's not a baby! - he pointed at the baby - It's EVIL... - but of course, Baby Bottle disappeared, making the brothers to gasp - It's gone!
- So... - Y/N chose to say-ask - Now you BELIEVE?
At that moment, the lights got out.
The baby's giggling was heard as the brothers and human were spunning to the sound's direction; they are both uneasy and lost
Then, another set of giggling and discordant piano keys was heard.
The whole situation was starting to sound and look like Cuphead, Mugman and Y/N became part of the Horror Show/Movie.
And Baby Bottle is the monster in it
The main antagonist
They turned to find the piano seat spinning.
A shriek emitted after that from behind them, a flash of the baby's silhouette across the room.
The Main Trio turned one last time, being blinded by milk and hitting the china.
Noticing it about to fall on them, the Cuphead, Mugman and Y/N jumpedf out of the way.
- That's it! - Cuphead had enough - I'm calling for help - he ran to the phone and started to try to get help - Hello, operator? Get me the police! - but there was no reply - Hello? HELLO?!
- Cuphead - Y/N told him - In every Horror Movie or Show, one of the rules is you CAN'T get help from ANYONE! Even if it's the Police!
As confirmation to his friend's words, Cuphead checked the wire, only to find out it's been cut in half
- He cut the line...! Y/N! Do something!
- What can I do?! - Y/N asked him - There's nothing I can do! Dealing, let's agree, with this baby is NOT the same as trying to avoid the Devil!
Then, the dreading sound of the radio got off.
Cuphead, Mugman and Y/N were left horrified (brothers were left horrified, that's for sure) at the sight of baby holding then throwing it.
- What did you do?! - Y/N asked Baby Bottle, furious - You're the worst Baby I ever encountered! You're not just bad! You're the baby, who doesn't belong here! - and attacked him
Cuphead and Mugman made a run towards the radio, both caught it with sighs of relief, they were able to catch the radio just in time.
But Baby Bottle grabbed a wooden hammer and smashed it, much to the boys' terror
Not to mention he beat Y/N, he was lucky to survive Baby Bottle's attacks
- I... - Y/N had strength to say this - This baby is much worser, than the Devil himself...
- NOW WHAT DO WE DO?! - Mugman asked his brother
- Dresser. - instead of answer on his question, Cuphead said:
- What? - Mugman was confused
- DRESSER—! - Cuphead repeated
Mugman turned behind him, but it was already too late.
They were hit by the dresser, and smashed into the wall.
Meanwhile, Y/N, who found strength, through pain, to reach the kitchen
- I... I hope Elder Kettle will be back home soon... - he said, was hoping Elder Kettle will be home soon
Back with brothers...
The dresser opened with their straws popping out, and then their heads
- Chair... - Cuphead found strength to say, even if he looked horribly dizzy
- No, dresser. - was the answer from Mugman, who started to pat the dresser
- No, CHAIR! - Cuphead pointed at the chair, that was flying at them
A chair was now flying towards the two, and they were able to dodge it this
Cuphead and Mugman reached for the chandelier.
Y/N noticed it
- Bad idea... - he told them
The brothers understood the meaning of Y/N's words too late, cause they were hanging on the chandelier, fearfully looking down.
Then, cooing was heard, and the three, Y/N did it through pain, spotted the baby with scissors in hand... next to a rope.
- How did he... And when... - Y/N couldn't understand how Baby Bottle, being a baby, knows HOW to use the scissors
Not to mention where he found them!
Realizing that the rope is what's holding up the chandelier...
- BABY, NO! - Cuphead and Mugman exclaimed in unison, in fear
- Mama! - was the simple answer from Baby Bottle, before he cut the rope, sending the brothers descending to the floor.
Cuphead and Mugman, seeing the flames from the chandelier, threw it off them towards the door.
And only it was done, at this exact moment Elder Kettle was walking through said door, but seeing the chandelier he ducked just in time.
Then, he started to look around, trying to realize what is happening:
- Huh? Door ripped off its hinges? Piano on fire? Fish bowl shattered; fish missing? Antique china in pieces? Dresser smashed into wall? MORE FIRE?!
He found Cuphead and Mugman among the ruin, and Y/N hiding in the kitchen, he was looking at them shocked.
Then, he brushed it off
- Eh, boys will be boys! - he chuckles and happily walked in
- "Wait, seriously?!" - Y/N was confused, surprised - "If my parents would've seen all the mess like that, they would've killed me! Or at least grounded me for, like, a month!"
But Y/N's question stopped to make sense when Elder Kettle noticed the broken radio and exclaimed:
- MY RADIO! MY MOST PRIZED OBJECT!
- "Forget I asked" - Y/N told himself
Now Elder Kettle really lost it.
He looked back to the boys and Y/N angrily, steam was coming out of his nose and lid.
The brothers and Y/N, trying to get themselves out of trouble...
- Baby did it. - they pointed at the baby together, with Y/N adding "He beat me... "
Elder Kettle, lid still rattling with anger, looked toward the direction they were pointing in to find the baby innocently sucking on its thumb
- Mama.
Sadly, Elder Kettle became, like brothers back then, quickly adored by the baby:
- Aww! This little cutie patootie?
Elder Kettle picked the baby up and started baby-talking at it.
Bad choice!
The baby wrenched the mustache off of Kettle's face.
- "Uh..." - Y/N tried to find words - "Baby wrenched, ripped Elder Kettle's mustache like it was a piece of paper..."
It didn't took long for Elder Kettle to scream so loud, that it could be believed all of Inkwell Isles heard it
Bonus to it, Elder Kettle stopped being adored by the baby and said:
- OHH! Bad baby!
Y/N in his head:

- Mama... - Baby Bottle did the same look on his face, when Mugman called him Bad Baby, after what tossed the mustache aside and proceeded to beat up Elder Kettle.
Luckily, Elder Kettle was saved by brothers, who pulled him into the kitchen
***
The kitchen...
Mugman, Elder Kettle, and Cuphead were armed with weapons and covered in pillows
Y/N was still feeling pain from being beated up by Baby, so he wasn't planning to join them
- Okay, on three. - Elder Kettle told the boys - One... - he placed his hand on the doorknob - Two... - twisted the doorknob - THREE!
The door swang open, the four peeked out, with three having weapons at the ready - only to find the baby sleeping in the basket, sucking its thumb
- Aww! - all but Y/N were in awe from seeing baby sleeping
- The faster we'l get rid of baby, the better - Y/N told them, he started to get up, pain was slowly leaving his body
***
A doorbell is heard
A woman, waist down, opened her door to find the baby.
- Mama! - Baby Bottle said, happy
- Oh, so cute! - she read the letter - "Please take care of baby"... Awh! Let's get you inside.
Elder Kettle, Y/N, Cuphead and Mugman were hiding behind a bush, their eyes were retreating out from it.
They, knowing that they wouldn't have to deal with it again, shook hands happily.
To be continued....
A/N - And done! Finally! It was painful! Good to know it's over!
