Mugmans Jujutsu: Chapter One
Note:this won’t be used to make money as I write solely for fun. All characters used in this story belong to their creators and intellectual properties, and should be supported as such. Characters from Cuphead, Bendy and the Ink Machine, and many other possible character from other franchises might pop up, and they belong to their respective franchises, so again, I ask you to support the creators of the characters. We open in on a Schoolyard, focusing on a thermometer. We then see a figure walk up to it, holding a phone, talking to someone on the other end. “A thermometer shed. You’re telling me someone’s keeping a special-grade cursed object in a place like this?”, the figure said, stepping out of the shadows to reveal Cuphead in a school uniform, though, it’s not a normal one. “Recovering it should be easy, then.”, the person says on the phone. Cuphead then walks over to the shed, and opens it. “The shed is empty.”, he says to the person on the phone. The person on the phone  asks, “what do you mean, ‘it’s empty’?” Cuphead sighs, and repeats, “It’s. Empty.” “For real? That’s funny.”, the person on the voice says. “I’m gonna punch you, Lion.”, Cuphead says to The person on the phone, revealed to be Lion. “No going home until it’s recovered, okay?”, Lion says over the phone, before hanging up. “Gonna hit you for real this time.”, Cuphead says, before hanging up. We then cut to the next day, where Mugman is using an Ouija Board. A Luigi board? A Yeegee board? Ouija board. “Dear spirits, please reveal if there is an animal who is stronger than me.”, then, the thing moves, spelling out, “C-A-R-P”. “Oh, man…”, Mugman mutters. Suddenly, Mugmans door crashes open, to reveal Cuphead, who came back from his midnight stroll. “Mugman, you didn’t submit any of your reports from your school club. Your school doesn’t have space and time for ghostbusters like your group.” He says, holding up an empty sheet of paper. “This is why I signed you up for the sports team, you have potential, but you’re not using it correctly.”, Cuphead states. “Well, what club do you participate in?”, Mugman asked. “Well, it’s a…private club, so I can’t tell you. But, rest assured that it’s as important as your…occult club.”, Cuphead responds. “Yeah, some club..”, Mugman mutters. Cuphead sees Mugman mope, and sighs in annoyance, before saying, “Okay, listen up, and good. Let’s have a gamble outside. If I win, you gotta do track. But, if I lose, I’ll give up on you. Deal?” Mugman thought, and then decided, “Sure, what challenge are we doing?” Cuphead pulled out a big metal ball, and said, “let’s see who can throw this the farthest.” “Deal.”, Mugman says. They head outside, and Cuphead throws the metal ball as hard as he can. “Fourteen meters, Cuphead!”, Bendy shouted, keeping score. “Alright, you’re up, Mugman.”, Cuphead said, expecting Mugman to throw it at least 10 feet in front of him. “Does it matter how I throw it?”, Mugman asked. “Go nuts, I don’t care.”, Cuphead said. Then, Mugman threw it, whizzing past everyone. “20 meters, Mugman! Holy shit, that’s far.”, Bendy yelled. “Well, I win! I don’t have to do anything! Yippee!”, Mugman yelled, running back inside. “Sigh…whatever…”, Cuphead said mopingly. Cuphead walked off. The next day at his school, Cuphead was trying to find that cursed object. “What’s with the rugby field?”, Cuphead said, looking up to see a scary spirit or a curse. “Is there’s a dead body or something?”, he said to himself, before he kept on walking. “Even so, I’d say it’s a grade 2 curse at best. I wonder what it has to do with the cursed object. I’d better hurry up and retrieve it. But, at the same time…”, Cuphead thought to himself, “it feels like it’s right in front of me, and far away at the same time. What a pain.” Cuphead kept on walking, trying to feel for the objects presence. “Still, I can’t look suspicious. I’ll probably get caught by some teacher or even worse, my brother will press me on what I’m doing.”, Cuphead thought. And just then, Mugman had walked past Cuphead, getting to one of his classes. Then, Cuphead felt it. The cursed object was inside Mugmans backpack. “What the hell, how does-how did-HOW DID MUGMAN FIND THAT CURSED OBJECT?!”, Cuphead thought, panicked. “I have to get it before some curse decides to attack Mugman, but how do I do that? I can’t just waltz up to him, and say ‘Hey, Mugman! So there’s a highly dangerous cursed object in your backpack that you didn’t know about and I need it to keep an even bigger curse from awakening or attack you. Can I have it?’, that’s stupid. Hmm…”, Cuphead thought,  before he got an idea. “I’ll just give him some food. And while he’s eating, I’ll take it. Easy.”, he thought. He walked over to Mugman, and tapped him on the shoulder. Mugman turned around, and Cuphead said to him, “Hey, Mugman. I’m not gonna eat this sandwich, you want it?” Mugman nodded, and took the sandwich. “Oh, I want to try something with this!”, Mugman said, before he reached into his backpack, and pulled out the cursed object. “I found this pickle in the boys bathroom. It was behind the toilet. It’s weird, because it looks like a finger, and it’s purple-ish. Maybe it’s a grape flavored pickle!”, he said. “Uh, Mugman-“, Cuphead said, but it was far too late. Mugman opened the sandwich, and slid in the cursed object into the sandwich. “Uh, MUGMAN-“, Cuphead tried to say. “WAIT! DONT TELL ME…I need mustard.”, Mugman said, opening back up the sandwich, and then putting mustard on it. And then, Mugman at the thing in one bite.
“THAT’S A SPECIAL GRADE CURSED OBJECT! A LETHAL POSION! MUGMAN’LL DIE FOR SURE! But there’s a chance…a one in a million chance…”, Cuphead thought. Suddenly, strange markings began to appear on Mugman face, and Mugman normal smile became a malevolent grin. “The special grade cursed object incarnates!”, Cuphead thought. “Hehe…hee..hee..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”, the curse spoke through Mugman. “I KNEW IT! LIGHT IS BEST FELT WITH HUMAN SKIN!”, it continued, ripping off Mugman shirt. “WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE?! THE WOMEN, THE CHILDREN?!”, the curse spoke again. It then turned around. “WHAT A AGE IT HAS BECOME! WOMEN AND CHILDREN SPAWNING IN LIKE MAGGOTS! MARVELOUS! IT’LL BE A MASSACRE!”, it yelled, laughing maniacally. But then, it stopped itself. “Huh?!”, the curse said confused. “Hey, what are you doing with my body? Give it back!”, Mugman yelled. “How’re you able to move?”, it asked. “Uh…it IS my body, right??”, Mugman said. “I’m kinda like two-face.”, Mugman commented. “But…but I-“l the curse said, but Mugman cut him off. “Man, this guy inside me is annoying, but he’s also kinda weak.”, Mugman replied. “WEAK?! I’LL SHOW YOU WEAK!!”, it roared, but Mugman said, “SIR! I AM TRYING TO TALK TO MYSELF! SHUT UP!” “When I’m out of this body, you’ll be the first one I kill, you brat.”, it muttered. “Yeah, keep telling yourself that.”, Mugman said. “Mugman, don’t move. You’re no longer human. Under jujutsu regulations….i will exorcise the curse known as Mugman grace.”, Cuphead said. “Woah, Cuphead! Slow down! It’s not a problem. Furthermore, we’re both pretty messed up. We need a hospital or something.”, Mugman said with his hands up. “I can’t tell if that’s the curse or Mugman talking…damn, what should I do?!”, Cuphead thought. “What’s the situation?”, Lion asked. Cuphead then quickly turned around to see Lion, his teacher. “LION?! WHATRE YOU DOING HERE?!”, he yelled confused. “Well, I originally wasn’t gonna come, but after I heard about the cursed object, I came immediately. So, where is it?”, Lion stated, looking around casually. “Sorry…I ate it…”, Mugman said, walking over to Lion. “You’re not kidding. You have a curse inside you. Hmm…tell you what. Give up control to that curse inside you for…ten seconds. Then take control back. Got it?”, Lion asked. “Uh, okay…”, Mugman said. “But I’m not responsible for whatever this guy does in my body.”, Mugman added. “Hold this for me, Cuphead.”, Lion said, tossing Cuphead a bag. Cuphead caught it and looked inside. “Cookies? You were buying cookies while people were in danger??”, Cuphead asked annoyed. “Those are for the train ride home.”, Lion said. Then, the curse inside Mugman took control, and leaped up, preparing to attack Lion. Lion dodged, and the curse fell. “Since one of my students are watching, I’m gonna show off a bit. You don’t mind, right?”, Lion said, looking at the curse using Mugman. The curse frowned, before dashing away, and jumping back up into the air, swiping a claw at Lion. Lion dodged, and kicked the curse in the gut, before sending him flying into a wall. “8…9…10.”, Lion said aloud. Then, suddenly, The curses markings disappeared, and Mugman was back in control. “No way, you actually can control it!”, Lion said. “Yeah, but it’s kinda annoying. I can still hear his voice in my head.”, Mugman muttered. “That’s good. You can be a vessel.”, Lion said. Then, he swiftly knocked out Mugman. Mugman wakes up the next day, tied to a chair, with a bunch of papers with weird markings on the rope he’s tied with. “Wakes wakes, fingers and bakey.”, Lion said. “So, which one are you now?”, Lion asked. “Uh…it’s…me…Mugman.”, Mugman muttered. “Good. Time to break the news. And your decisions. Mugman…you’ve been set up for a secret execution.”, Lion said. “Huh?”, Mugman said. “Lemme explain. You see, Mugman, the cursed object that you had swallowed wasn’t a pickle. It was only one part of the king of curses; Jules. He was the strongest jujutsu sorcerer, and before he died, he had turned himself into twenty cursed objects. We have three, or four, counting the one inside you. Here is one of the parts,” Lion said, pulling out a finger. Lion then threw it up into the air, and shot it with some cursed energy. “As you can see, it’s pretty tough, and also rare to find. And, with you swallowing one of those fingers, and not dying, you’ve become a vessel, with two options. One: we kill Jules inside you, and keep searching for the other fingers. Or…”, Lion said. “…or what?”, Mugman asked. “This is what I suggest. We find the rest of Jules-which is like…17 or 18 fingers-let him fully manifest inside you, and then execute you.” Lion proposed. “Either die right now, or die later, is basically what I’m asking.”, Lion said. “I…uh…”, Mugman stuttered. “…fine. I’ll eat the rest of Jules and then I’ll be executed.”, Mugman said. “Cool. Just know that in order to do this, you’ll have to enroll into Jujutsu High. And, acquire some cursed energy, and technique, and Domain Expansion, and cursed tool, and-“, Lion said, rambling on and on, before he saw Mugman just staring at him in confusion. “Let’s start with the school, first.”, Lion said, recognizing Mugmans confusion. We then cut to Lion and Mugman walking into the school. “Wow, this place looks very old. I can’t wait to make it look even uglier.”, Jules said, who had recently learned how to speak throw making little mouths on Mugman. “Sorry, Lion. He does that sometimes.”, Mugman said, covering the tiny mouth that Jules made. “It’s fine.”, Lion said. “Hey, Lion? I have a question.”, Mugman said, as they were walking towards the doors. “Between you and Jules…who would win?”, Mugman asked. Lion thought for a moment, before answering. “Well, if he were to get his full power back, he might cause me a little trouble.”, Lion said. Mugman asked, “but would you lose?” “Nah, I’d win.”, Lion said. “Tough talk coming from a brat.”, Jules said through one of the little mouths he had made on Mugman. Lion stopped walking, and asked, “what’s that supposed to mean?” “It’s just that you’re wrong. When I reach my peak status, not only will you not be able to handle me, but after I kill you, I’ll go after every single jujutsu sorcerer. Including this…brat I’m stuck inside currently.”, Jules said. “Wow, to be killed by the greatest curse in history. I’m touched.”, Lion said, sarcastically. After they talked with the principal, Mugman was enrolled. “Wait, so, how many sorcerers are at this school?”, Mugman said as Lion walked him to his room. “Like…eight students…”, Lion said nervously and awkwardly. “Oh.”, Mugman said. “But, some of your friends are here. Like, Alice, Bendy and Cuphead.”, Lion said. “Wait, what?! And they didn’t tell me?!”, Mugman said, angry. “Surprise.”, Lion said, before he opened Mugman room. “So, question for you, Mugman. Will you come on the missions for retrieving Jules’ fingers?”, Lion said, handing Mugman his stuff. Mugman thought for a moment, before he answered. “Yeah, I’ll help. Although, it would be funny to see a beat up Cuphead bring me fingers.”, Mugman said, before he chuckled. “Oh, really.”, Cuphead said, towering behind Mugman. “Uh…I didn’t mean that…Cuphead…”, Mugman said with an awkward grin. “Uh huh. Whatever. I’m also coming, Mugman.”, Cuphead said to Mugman. “What about your club, though?”, Mugman asked. Cuphead looked at Mugman in confusion, before answering. “Uh, Mugman? This IS the secret club.” “Oh.”, Mugman said. “So, Mugman. Since you’re coming on missions, you’ll probably need a weapon since you don’t have a cursed technique. Or, any cursed energy. Or anything cursed right now. So that’s why I’m giving you this.”, Lion said, before he pulled out a combat knife, and held it out to Mugman. It had a black fur guard and a brown handle. “This weapon is already imbued with cursed energy, so even you can use it.”, Lion said. “Woah…what’s it called?”, Mugman said, with a sparkle in his eye, looking at the knife. “Uh, we don’t have a name for it, but, it’s yours, so you can name it.”, Lion said, as Mugman took it. “I’ll name it…Earth, Wind and Fire.”, Mugman said. Cuphead snickered, before saying, “Wait, like, the band?” “Yeah, like the band. It came to me.”, Mugman said, slightly annoyed at Cupheads question. “Alright. Get cleaned up, and set up your room. In two days…”, Lion said.
“…we’re heading to Tokyo.”, Lion added.
We then cut to two days later, with Lion, Cuphead and Mugman arriving in the main part of Tokyo, Japan. “Hey, Lion? Who are we waiting for?”, Mugman asked, while he was holding a cup of beef ramen, and wearing cool sunglasses. “Oh, we’re waiting for bendy.”, Lion said, as he sipped some Japanese soda. “Bleh.”, Lion said, tasting the soda. “Well, how long ‘this gonna take? My feet hurt.”, Cuphead asked, as he was eating some potato chips. “I’d say one hour, five minutes, and seventeen seconds, starting…now!”, Lion said, as he took another sip from his soda. “Bleh.”, he said, tasting it again. “Why do you keep on drinking it if it tastes bad, Lion?”, Mugman asked. “It’s to keep my cursed energy up.”, Lion answered. “Huh?”, Mugman said confused. “Can you explain?”, Mugman asked Lion. “Alright, so, cursed energy fuels our attacks, right? But, the thing about cursed energy is that we need negative emotions to help channel it. That’s why I’m drinking it. It tastes unpleasant, and it fuels my cursed energy.”, Lion explains. “Wait, so, is Cuphead doing the same too?”, Mugman asked. “Yeah, I’m eating the worst flavor; Durian Fruit Flavored Potato Chips.”, Cuphead said. “Ew.” Mugman said. “Hey, guys! Am I late?”, Bendy said, walking through the crowd of people. But, bendy can’t get through. Then, he gets fed up, and he says, “VERB: STOP.” Then, suddenly, everyone stops in their tracks. Bendy moves through the crowd, and eventually makes it to his gang. “Verb: Continue.”, Bendy said, and then the crowd continues moving, not even noticing that they stopped. “WOAH, BENDY?! WHAT WAS THAT?!”, Mugman said in amazement. “Oh, it’s my cursed technique: Jagged Edge. Basically, I can pick from verbs, noun, exclamations, and adjectives, and use them. For example…Noun: Soda.”, Bendy explained, before a can of soda appeared in his hand. “See?”, Bendy asked. “Cursed…technique?”, Mugman asked confused. “Yeah, they’re basically our powers that we use to exorcise curses. Bendys Cursed Technique, Jagged Edge, allows him to use his language to…uh…do that.” Lion explained. “Oh, alright. Then what’s yours and Cupheads cursed techniques?”, Mugman asked. “Mines called Survivor. It allows me to channel my cursed energy into certain parts of my body, and protect it or reinforce it. It can also double the damage I do.”, Lion said. “And what about you, Cuphead?”, Mugman asked. “Mine is called Beat It. It lets me move any surface around me, like manipulate it, along with turn any item, along with other items into an invention on the spot. I can also grab any tiny parts of a surface/machine, and shoot it at my opponent.”, Cuphead said. “Cool! When do I get mine?!”, Mugman asked, jumping up and down. “Not soon.”, Lion said. “Alright gang, follow me.”, Lion added, before walking off. “Oh…”, Mugman said, before dragging his feet and following Lion. Eventually, they reach an old building. “Alright. Bendy and Mugman. This is your test to see how strong you are. Whoever can exorcise the curse first gets a treat, paid for by me.”, Lion said. “Wait, what? What about the finger?”, Mugman asked. “Well, we need to see if you’re capable. So, like I said.”, Lion said. “Me and Cuphead here will spectate. Head on inside, and get that curse.”, Lion said, before sitting down. “Alright. See if you can keep up, Mugman!”, Bendy yelled, before in the blink of an eye, he dashed inside. “Woah, how did he move so fast?! Bendy can barely run within six feet of him without passing out!”, Mugman shouted. “It’s one of the additions that come with being a sorcerer. You also get your other physical feats leveled up the more cursed energy you have.”, Lion said. “Man…”, Mugman said, before quickly running inside. “You know…”, Cuphead said. “Mugman may die in there, Lion.” Lion glanced at Cuphead, before turning back and saying, “He’s strong. He’ll figure something out.” “And if he doesn’t?”, Cuphead asked. “We’ll help him.”, Lion said. We then cut to Mugman walking through the empty hallways of the building. “Man, this stinks. Figuratively and literally.”, Mugman said, as he was playing with Earth, Wind and Fire. Mugman then accidentally cuts his hand on Earth, Wind and Fire. “Ouch!”, Mugman said, as Earth, Wind, and Fire hit the ground. Then, suddenly, his wound heals, almost instantaneously. “Woah.”, Mugman said. Let me explain, real quick, to explain what happened. Mugman here just cut himself with a cursed tool. Cursed tools are imbued with cursed energy. Let’s just use numbers for an example. Let’s say that Earth, Wind and Fire has a cursed energy level of…two million. Not a lot for a cursed tool, but I’d say a little above average. When Mugman cut himself with Earth, Wind and Fire, he was imbued with…let’s say…half of that. So, he now has cursed energy, one million, to be exact. And, when he was imbued with the energy, he got so much a human couldn’t handle, that he reflexively performed Reverse Cursed Technique, which healed him. So, now Mugman can unlock his Cursed Technique, and become a sorcerer way earlier than he’s supposed to. But, he doesn’t know all this. Mugman stared at the wound, now healed. “That’s freaky.”, Mugman said to himself. Then,suddenly, he heard some groaning coming from another room. Mugman walked over to the room, to see a slug-like creature, or curse, staring at the clock. “WHAT…TIME IS IT?”, it said in a distorted voice. “It’s time…to get your butt kicked.”, Mugman muttered, before he pulled out Earth, Wind and Fire out of a knife holster on his leg. He dashed in the blink of an eye, behind the curse, and cut it in half, without even thinking. “WHAT THE SIGMA⁉️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🗣️”, Mugman said, before he put back his weapon. “How did I-“, Mugman thought, before he heard Bendy walking towards the room, hearing the commotion. 
“Hey, Mugman, I heard a slash-“, Bendy said, before he saw the curse, cut in half. “…Say, Mugman…how did you defeat that curse…?”, Bendy asked. “I acted on instinct, I guess.”, Mugman said. “Instinct, huh?”, Bendy said. As quick as lighting, Bendy pulled out a sword, and swung at Mugman. Mugman, not even think, blocked it with Earth, Wind and Fire. “Let’s see how well you fight without any cursed energy.”, Bendy said, before he kicked Mugman into a desk behind him. Mugman avoided the desk and threw Earth, Wind and Fire at Bendy, before grabbing EWF (short for Earth, Wind and Fire), and slicing and dicing at Bendy several times at Bendy. “Don’t be scared. Close in.”, Mugman thought, as EWF and Bendys sword clashed multiple times. “Verb: Sharpen.”, Bendy said, before Mugman saw Bendys sword sharpen. Mugman kicked Bendys into a chalkboard, and continued to close in on bendy. Bendys grabbed some chalk by the chalkboard, and imbued it with some of his cursed energy, before saying, “Verb: Multiply. Verb: Sharpen.”, Before throwing 10 pieces of sharpened chalk at Mugman. Mugman quickly evaded all of them, with the only injury he sustained being a cut on his arm. Bendy grabbed his sword, and dashed out of the classroom, and racing up some stairs. Mugman quickly followed. Mugman made it to the top of the stairs, before he saw a hallway of abandoned lockers. Mugman walked past these lockers, as he held onto EWF tightly. “SUPRISE!”, Bendy shouted, lunging from one of the lockers, and kicking Mugman in the face, sending him flying. Mugman lands in another abandoned classroom. Bendy flies in, and bites on his sword, before saying, “Adjective: Duplicate. Time frame of twenty one seconds. Five exact copies. Starting now.” Suddenly, four more Bendys appeared beside the original Bendy, and lunged at Mugman. Mugman quickly realized he had to get rid of the four other Bendys quickly, and thought. And he thought quick. Mugman thought, “What do I do in this situation?” Suddenly, Mugmans cursed energy had focused on one of the Bendys, and Mugman instinctively said. “Dismantle.” Suddenly, the bendy clone that Mugmans energy focused on, was cut in half by one big slash caused by EWF. The other Bendys looked at the Ben-dy that was cut in half, and stopped in their tracks. They then looked at Mugman, who looked at another clone. “Cleave.”, Mugman said, and multiple grid like slices hit one of the Bendys clones, dicing the clone into cubes. “Mugman, how did you get a cursed technique with no cursed energy?”, Bendy asked, as he readied his sword.	
Mugman didn’t respond, and he cut through the two other Bendy clones, before saying, “Dismantle.” Again, sending a slice big enough to cut a person in two at bendy. Bendy blocked it with his sword, but Mugman used this chance to get behind bendy, and use Cleave to cut him all over his back. Bendy stabs his sword into the ground, and says, “VERB: EXPLODE!”, making the ground below Mugman and Bendy explode and fall, sending them falling into the abandoned schools cafeteria. Mugman jumps back and forth on the broken pieces of ground, dashing through the air to get to Bendy. Bendy starts backing up to get some distance, and he eventually makes it down to the ground. Bendy grabs onto a cafeteria table, and chucks it at Mugman. Mugman slices through it with a Dismantle slice, and then says, “Erase.”, before slicing the space in front of him to pull himself towards Bendy. Bendy blocks Mugman slice, and dashes away, before saying, “Verb: Ignite.” Bendys sword then catches fire, before he dashes towards Mugman. Mugman dashes towards Bendy, and the two clash. Bendy quickly pulls away, and Mugman falls forward, and it looks like Bendys is gonna stab Mugman. But at the last second, Bendys says, “Verb: Bind.”, Catching Mugman before he gets impaled on Bendys blade. Mugman catches his breath, and he quickly passes out due to exhaustion. 	
Mugman then wakes up in his schools infirmary.
“Wakey Wakey, Eggs and Bakey.”, Lion says. “What…Lion…?”, Mugman says groggily. Mugman tries to get up, but he winces in pain, as he falls back on the bed. “Easy there, Mugman. You’re pretty sore after your battle with Bendy. You did pretty good on the battlefield with no cursed energy.”, Lion said, holding a bowl of something. “Uh-“, Mugman tries to say something, but Lion shushes him. “Rest, Mugman. You need to eat.”, Lion says, before he opens to bowl lid to reveal three of Jules fingers. “But, eat these first, then talk, and then keep eating.”, Lion says. “Alright. Wait, so, I mistook these for a pickle? Man.”, Mugman comments, before taking one and swallowing it whole. Mugman then feels Jules curse inside him grow stronger. Mugman gags and laughs. “Ew! It’s so gross it makes you laugh.”, Mugman said, as he grabbed another. “So, how was Bendy?”, Lion asked as Mugman ate another finger. “Strong as hell! He moved so fast, and he could think real quick. But I’m quicker. I don’t know how I had lost.”, Mugman said, as he finished the last finger in the bowl. Mugman gagged again, while clutching his throat. “Well, Bendy is a second year, so he is more experienced with his technique.”, Lion said. “So, Mugman. How in the world did you get cursed energy AND a cursed technique?”, Lion asked seriously. “I don’t know. But I think it has something to do with this cut.”, Mugman said, before revealing his hand to Lion. “I accidentally cut myself with EWF, and my hand was instantly healed…somehow.”, Mugman continued. “Alright. Lemme see your technique though, I’m interested.”, lion said, before quickly dashing out of the room and bringing in a dummy. “Okay, be careful, though.”, Mugman said, holding out his hand. “Dismantle.”, Mugman said, before the dummy was sliced in half. Mugman then followed up with, “Cleave”, cutting the dummy into cubes. Then, Mugman got rid of the dummy by saying, “Erase.”, and erasing the dummy. “Cool, Mugman. This is a pretty powerful technique.”, Lion said.  “Thanks. I don’t have a name for it, though. Like you guys.”, Mugman said, lowering his hand. “How about…Purple Rain?”, Lion suggested while looking at some old music. “Hmm…sure.”, Mugman guessed, as he laid back down. “Get some rest. We’ll go on another mission for one of Jules fingers tomorrow if you’re okay.”, Lion said, before he left. Mugman nodded, and went to sleep. Mugman then woke up in some dream realm, staring face to face with Jules, the king of curses stuck inside his body. “Don’t worry, this is a dream. But I’m real.”, Jules said. “What…what do you want…?”, Mugman asked cautiously. “I want to make a deal with you, Mugman. Here’s the proposition: I give you some of my cursed energy, along with knowledge of cursed….anything that can help you in battle. This includes domain expansion, cursed techniques, cursed tools, binding vows, and heavenly restrictions. In return…whenever I say the word, ‘Enchant’, I can take control of your body for up to five minutes tops. That’s all I ask.”, Jules said. “Hell no! How do I know that-“, Mugman yelled, before Jules cut him off by saying, “within that time frame, I’m not allowed to harm or injure anybody. Does that seal the deal?” Mugman thought for a moment, before asking, “anything else I should be aware about?” “You will forget that you made this deal with me.”, Jules added. “So, our deal goes as follows: I get knowledge about domain expansion, cursed techniques, cursed tools, binding vows, and heavenly restrictions. and you get to take control of my body for five minutes whenever you say the word ‘Enchant’. I forget that we made this deal, and you can’t harm or injure anybody while you possess me. Am I right?”, Mugman recounted. “Yup.”, Jules said casually. “Do we have a deal?”, Jules asked. Mugman thought about this. Mugman thought really hard. “Why do you want to take control of my body if you can’t hurt anyone?”, Mugman asked. Jules slightly panicked, before answering Mugman, saying, “Fine. I agree.” Jules grins, his teeth showing. “Excellent. See you soon, Mugman. Literally.”, Jules said, shaking Mugman hand, before the dream ends. Mugman then wakes up in the infirmary. “Hey, Mugman. You alright?”, Bendy says, standing on a wall. “Sorry that I attacked you yesterday. Lion wanted me to test you. See how good you were. I didn’t expect you to have cursed energy, let alone, a cursed technique somehow. That’s why I went all out on you after you beat my clones.”, Bendy continues. “It’s fine.”, Mugman says. “So, what’s the mission for today?”, Mugman asks. “Wait, hold on. Aren’t you still hurt or sore?”, Bendy asks, “I mean, you ARE in the infirmary for a reason that we both know.” “Actually, I feel pretty good. Those fingers Lion gave me must have helped with healing or something.” Mugman lied. With his new knowledge, he knew that it was Reversed Curse Technique that healed him so quickly, but he couldn’t just blatantly say that. “Well, if you say so. Anyway, we’re heading to a place that might have one of Jules fingers. This time, you’ll have to go in alone. If you are hurt, you gotta fall back or tag out.”,  Bendy said, showing Mugman the location on a map. “Got it. Lemme get changed real quick.”, Mugman said, as he walked out of the infirmary to ask Lion for his clothes. “Hey, Lion? Can I have my clothes-“, Mugman says, before a pen is thrown at Mugman. Mugman subconsciously activates Cleave, and gets rid of the pen. “Good reflexes, Mugman.”, Lion said, throwing ten more at him. Mugman Cleaves those too. Lion stands up, and says, “Good reflexes, Mugman. Hopefully you’ll use them in your solo mission.”, Lion says. “Yeah. Anywho, can I have my clothes?”, Mugman asks. Lion pulls out a laundry basket, and finds a student uniform labeled, “Mugman”, and hands it to Mugman. “Here is your new uniform, Mug. Uh, try not to ruin this, please? Students uniforms are expensive, and this one was made especially for you.”, Lion said nervously. Mugman checks the price tag to see that it cost seventeen thousand dollars for this one uniform.
“Seventeen thousand?!” Mugman gasps, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. “That’s… that’s more than most cars!” “Yeah, that’s why we don’t want you to ruin it, so…please don’t?”, Lion asks again. Mugman gulps in nervousness. “Uhh, I’ll try my best.” Mugman walks out of Lions office. Then, he remembers a question he had for Lion. Well, it was two, but still. His first question was where was the mission gonna be, and his second question was to ask about what a Domain Expansion was, since he wasn’t really sure if he can trust the information in his head. “Uh, hey, Lion? I have a question. Well, it’s two. But, whatever.”, Mugman said, walking back into Lions office. “Alright, spit.”, Lion said. “Uh, where’s my mission gonna be today?”, Mugman asked. “Oh, it’s just an abounded mall just outside of Tokyo.”, Lion said, writing something down on a paper. “Okay. Oh, and…can you tell me what a Domain Expansion is? I heard you tell me it when you kidnapped me and tied me to a chair and discussed my options, but you never said anything beyond the name.”, Mugman asked. “Hmm…how do I explain this…The simplest way I can put it is like, having your own little word made up of your Cursed Energy. It’s a place made for you to use your technique. It also has a Sure Hit Effect. But, this requires a lot of cursed energy and focus.”, Lion explained. “Most beginners can’t use it once they begin, but they learn how to do it later on.”, Lion added. “Oh, okay.”, Mugman said. We then cut to the abandoned shop. “Alright Mugman. Remember, if you’re in trouble, fall out and call for help.”, Lion said. “Yeah, we’re right outside.”, Bendy said. “Yup.”, Cuphead said. “Wow, Cuphead, thanks for your shining enthusiasm.”, Mugman said sarcastically, before walking inside the shop. Mugman began to walk through the first floor of the mall, looking for the finger. “Man, this is creepy. And not like the creepy you see in cartoons.”, Mugman said. He kept on walking through the hallways, until he say the finger, sitting alone in a closed water fountain. However, the water was still running somehow. And it looked fresh. And the finger was inside it, just sitting there. “A trap, huh?”, Mugman said. He then smirked, and played dumb. “Oh, no! I sure do hope that there aren’t any cursed spirits around! After all, I’m only a grade FOUR sorcerer, oh, imagine the agony!”, Mugman said as he walked over to the fountain. Mugman reached the fountain, and reached for the finger reeeeaaaalllyyy slllooowwwllleeeyyy….”here I go, reaching for the special grade cursed object!”, Mugman said. Then, suddenly, a sharp water spike shot out of the ground, almost impaling Mugman hand. Mugman pulled back, and whipped out EWF. “Knew it.”, Mugman said, before the water based cursed spirit formed on the finger. “Alright, I just woke up, so would you be so kind as to hand over the finger now?”, Mugman said, holding out his hand. The sprit screeched at Mugman. Mugman grinned. “That’s what I hoped you’d say.”, Mugman said, signaling the curse to come at him. The curse sent out spiky water tendrils. But Mugman quickly zoomed through the air, cutting through them. Mugman made his way towards the cursed spirit, and tried to kick it, but went straight through it. Mugman crashed into a closed shop in the mall. “Right. It’s water.”, He said, before getting up and dusting himself off. “Alright. Let’s try this again, yeah?”, Mugman said, getting into a battle stance. The cursed sprit lunged at him. “Erase.”, Mugman said, pointing EWF at the cursed spirit. The cursed spirit was washed away, but it’ll be back in a matter of seconds. Mugman thought about how he could defeat a cursed spirit like this. He couldn’t use physical attacks. So, what now? Maybe he could…no, that’s too risky. Besides, he hasn’t even attempted it before. But, he knew he needed to get the finger, and impress his peers. Mugman gulped with nervousness, but put on a smile. “You know what?! Forget it!”, Mugman said, dropping EWF. The cursed spirit regenerated, and saw Mugman charging up his energy, but for what. Mugman then put his hands out, and called out, “Domain Expansion…”
The cursed sprit looked in awe as the 2 meters surrounding them were enclosed in a black dome. Mugman closed his eyes, and continued his chant.
“…Rigid Coffin of The Devil Himself.”
Suddenly, the dome took form of a torture chamber, with knives, swords, stuck in the walls, and lava on the ground surrounding them both．”Look at that! It worked! However, it’s incomplete. I bet it’s ugly for most sorcerers. But it’ll have to do for now.”, Mugman said, seemingly talking to the cursed spirit. The cursed spirit panicked. “What’s wrong, spirit? You scared of a nine year old not knowing what he’s doing?”, Mugman said, mocking the spirit. “You’d better be. Dismantle.”, Mugman said, before a wave of lava cut the spirit in half, exorcising it. Mugman lowered his domain, and fell to one knee. “Damn, that took a lot out of me. But…I got the finger! And that’s all I need.”, Mugman said to himself, sweat pouring down his forehead. Suddenly, Mugman got a text from his phone. Lion had texted him, “is everything okay in there”, followed by a confused emoji. Mugman typed back, “yeah everythings fine”, and sending a thumbs up. Mugman then began to walk towards the exit. As he walked out, he saw is group waiting for him. “So, Mugman? How’d the mission go? Are you alright? What happened? Did you learn anything?”, Lion eagerly asked. Mugman panted, before answering, “The mission…went fine…I got the finger and I’m pretty tuckered out…as for learning anything…” Mugman debated telling them about his Domain Expansion, it was an advanced technique, and he wasn’t sure what the reaction would be. Before he could speak, Cuphead chimed in, clapping Mugman on the back. “Well, I mean, of course he’s tired, guys. This mall is huge, and broken down. I’m surprised that he’s even alive right now. That curse in there was grade two, or maybe even grade one with Jules finger, and you sent in a grade four sorcerer? Good job, Mugman, for tanking all of those attacks.”, Cuphead said, accidentally creating an alibi for Mugman tiredness. “Y…yup…had to take a lot of attacks.”, Mugman agreed. “Alright, who wants ramen?”, Lion asked. “I do”, the gang said in unison and hunger. And, as Mugman looked at his hands, he remembered how all this began. “Wow, nice domain, Mugsy. Of course, mine is better, but yours is way more refined than you think, Mug-Brat.”, Jules spoke through a tiny mouth on Mugman face. “I can’t wait to see the look on your face when you face my Domain-.”, Jules continued, before Mugman cut him off, asking Jules,”Don’t tell the others.” Jules looks surprised, but answers, “Okay, whatever.”, before he closes the mouth. “One day, I’ll make the world a better place. I just have to make it.”, Mugman says. And with that, Chapter one of Mugman Jujutsu comes to a close.

We open in on Mugman sleeping, but then he hears his alarm go off. “My name is Mugman Grace, and I’m a jujutsu sorcerer.”, He narrates, while we see Mugmans daily 
routine play in the background. “What? Too much. Okay, well, let’s take it from the top.”, Mugman continues to narrate, as we rewind to flashbacks of Chapter One. We see Mugman eating the “pickle”, Mugman fighting Bendy, and Mugman about to activate his domain. “A few months ago, I ate a special grade cursed object, which incarnated inside me, and turned me into a vessel for the king of curses, Jules. After that, I was set up for a secret execution, but only after I ate all of Jules, which would take a while. After that, I became a jujutsu sorcerer. And for the past three months, I’ve been a grade 2 sorcerer. So far I’ve consumed nine out of twenty fingers, so I have about 11 fingers left to eat. Or, I’d say about another three months left to live. But I’ll make it worth it by making the world a better place. Lemme introduce you to my squad.”, Mugman continues to narrate, as we see Mugman eat breakfast. An image appears of Cuphead, before Mugman introduces Cuphead. “This is my brother, Cuphead. He’s a grade two sorcerer, and his cursed technique allows him to…do stuff with robots or something, I honestly forgot because he doesn’t show it off much.” Then, an image of Bendy lands on Cupheads picture. “This is Bendy. He’s my friend, and a grade four sorcerer, so he’s pretty tough. His cursed technique allows him to command people or objects to do stuff by saying words from the English vocabulary.”, Mugman says, before an image of Lion lands on top of the picture of Bendy and Cuphead. “And this is my teacher, or sensei, Lion. His cursed technique allows him to channel his cursed energy into certain parts of his body, and protect it or reinforce it. It can also double the damage he does.”, Lion says. “And my cursed technique…is pretty hard to explain, so I’ll try my best.”, Mugman says, before a presentation appears. Mugman appears in a teacher outfit with glasses, and adjusts them before he turns on the presentation. “My cursed technique has three functions: Dismantle, Cleave and Erase. Dismantle is one big clean cut. Cleave is like a grid of slices, and they basically chop up my opponent into pieces. And Erase…erases the space-like, LITERAL space-in front of me, and it makes me dash pretty fast. Unfortunately, this last one I don’t use too much, so, it doesn’t have much use.”, Mugman explains. “Yes, rag doll number seventy eight in the back?”, Mugman says, pointing out into a class full of training dummies. “Are you gonna talk about cursed tools, domain expansions, and cursed energy?”, the dummy says, obviously being controlled by Mugman. “Oh, yeah. Uhh, not now, but when we come to those, we’ll explain it. Now, are we all up to speed? Good! Now, I gotta get back to eating, cause today’s a mission. And my partner is my brother. You’ve all met him, I’m sure.”, Mugman says, before we cut back to him putting on his uniform. “Hey, Mugman? You done yet? I’ve been waiting for like, twenty minutes.”, Cuphead says, leaning against Mugmans door. “Yeah, I’m coming, Cuphead.”, Mugman says, before he grabs EWF( Earth, Wind and Fire. Mugmans cursed tool infused with cursed energy. It’s a double sided combat knife), and walks out his door. “C’mon.”, Cuphead says, and they walk out, and head towards heir mission. A hour later, they arrive. “So, Cuphead? What’s the deal here?”Mugman asked, looking at the old office building. “Same as always, Mug.”, Cuphead said disinterested. “Cursed Spirit sightings and possible location of Jules finger?”, Mugman asked, letting out a sigh of tiredness. “Right on the money, Mug.”, Cuphead said. “I don’t know why we have to deal with the grade four curses…”, Mugman said mopingly. “Me too, but you don’t see me crying. Now come on, Mugman. We got a finger for you to eat.”, Cuphead said, before he headed inside. They walked through the halls, while Mugman was staring at his phone, watching TikTok. They turn a corner, and see a grade four curse. “It’s not the one we’re looking for.”, Cuphead said casually, walking towards it. Mugman, still looking down at his phone, sliced through it with ease, and kept walking. “Hey, Cuphead? After this, can we get McDonalds?”, Mugman asked, looking at Cuphead. “Didn’t you JUST eat breakfast, Mugman?”, Cuphead asked, annoyed. At the same time, a grade three spirit lunged at Cuphead from behind. “12:00 o’clock, Cuphead.”, Mugman said casually. Cuphead, without even looking away from Mugman, smashed the cursed spirit into pieces with one hand. “Also, yeah, but I want a McDonalds biscuit. Oh, and a cookie!”, Mugman said. Cuphead decided for a moment, and answered, “Fine with me, but you gotta talk to Lion about that.”, Cuphead said. “You know how he is when you eat out without him, Mug.”, Cuphead added. “Alright.”, Mugman agreed. And so, they kept walking. They eventually reached the main part of the office, and they found the finger, just sitting in the middle of the room, all alone. “It’s a trap.”, Cuphead said. “Oh, really, Captain Obvious? And what made it apparent that this is a trap?”, Mugman said sarcastically. “Fine then. Be that way.”, Cuphead said, walking over to the finger. “You literally just said that it’s a trap, and you still go for it? Are you stupid?”, Mugman asked. “No, I’m strong. That’s why.”, Cuphead said, crouching down to grab the finger. But as he touched the finger, he felt plastic. “It’s a dud.”, Cuphead said, before a grade four cursed spirit crashed from the wall above, lunging down on Cuphead. Cuphead dashed back, as he saw the cursed spirit laugh at the two for taking the bait. “Okay, you’re strong, but you’re not smart.”, Mugman said casually. “Let’s just exorcise this thing already.”, Cuphead said, annoyed at Mugman. “I was hoping you’d say that.”, Mugman said, before the two dashed and disappeared. Mugman appeared behind the cursed spirit, and hit him with a Cleave. He then kicked the spirit into Cuphead, who used his technique to capture the spirit. However, the spirit used its technique, and phased through the cage Cuphead had made. Mugman used Erase and dashed toward the cursed spirit, sending it out the window. He then dashed down, and took out EWF, and tried to cut off the cursed spirits head. However, he made EWF phase through Mugmans hand, and unphased it at the perfect time to cut off Mugmans hand. Mugman let go of the cursed spirit and used Reverse Cursed Technique to heal and regenerate his hand. Cuphead jumped down as well, and grabbed Mugmans hands. He then quickly scan Mugman and threw him down to kick the cursed spirit again. This time, Mugman made a donut out of the cursed spirit, putting a hole through the spirit. Mugman landed on the ground firmly, and dashed away, careful not to get crushed under the cursed spirit. Meanwhile, Cuphead, still falling with the cursed spirit, he created a whip out of the falling debris, and sent cursed energy through the rope, and hit the spirit the exact time the cursed energy had reached the end of the rope and hit the spirit, creating a Black Flash. The monster was smashed into the ground, and Cuphead landed easily. “Is it over?”, Mugman asked. Then, the spirit began to get back up, healing the donut hole in its belly. “Nope.”, Cuphead said. Mugman then began to think on how to defeat this thing. If his duo attack didn’t work, he might have to use his domain expansion, but he can’t use it while Cupheads around. So, Mugman made a risky move. “I’ll take it on myself, you go and get Bendy.”, Mugman said, dead serious. “Mugman,you’re joking. There is no way in heaven or hell you’re taking on this thing.”, Cuphead said. “Exactly, I’m just buying some time. Go. Get. Bendy.”,  Mugman said. Cuphead quickly left. “Alright, cursed spirit. It’s time to exorcise you.”, Mugman said. Mugman stood firmly, and put out his hands, focusing his energy while doing so. “Domain Expansion…”, Mugman said carefully. But as Mugman was about to finish the domain expansion, he saw the cursed spirit was about to unleash its own domain expansion. “Alright, then!”, Mugman said, smirking. “RIGID COFFIN OF THE DEVIL HIMSELF!”, Mugman said, as his domain began to shape, clashing with the cursed spirits domain expansion, “The Cobweb of Asinine Angels.” Mugman hits the sprit with a dismantle, sending a line of lava the spirits way, but the spirit blocks it with a chain from his domain. Then, the cursed spirit sends out his hands, also sending two chains at Mugman. Mugman dodges him, and  tries to hit the cursed spirit with a Cleave. The spirit attempts to block it, but is still hit. The spirit then begins to regenerate, as he starts raising more chains to try and attack Mugman with. Meanwhile, Mugman is panicking, trying to make his domain stable, since it’s running out of energy. Mugman prepares one final attack, but it’s one he hasn’t used before. “Cursed Energy Charge: Red.”, Mugman says, holding out his hand like a gun. A ball made of pure cursed energy begins to form at the tip of Mugmans finger, and then Mugman says, “Blast.” The blast is blasted, and the cursed spirit is destroyed, leaving only the finger. Mugman lets go of his domain, and he falls to the floor. But before he passes out, he grabs the finger, and he gulps it down. Then, Mugman passes out. Mugman wakes up in his dorm, feeling burnt out. Mugman looks around, and sees Bendy at his side, waiting for him to wake up. Bendy looks back at Mugman, to see that he’s awake. “Mugman, you alright? You managed to defeat a special grade curse. So I’m guessing that you aren’t.”, Bendy says, seemingly tired. “Wait…that was a special grade…? But I thought it was-“, Mugman asked, before Bendy cut him off, stating, “Grade four? When normal, weak curses usually around grade four or three eat a special grade object, they usually get infused with that cursed objects power. That’s why it was so strong.”, Bendy said. “Wow…how do you know that…?”, Mugman asked, staring at the ceiling. “It’s common knowledge among sorcerers, Mug.”, Bendy said. But, he was actually just reading from a book about curses. “Cuphead and Lion told me to tell you that you’re not allowed to go on a mission for three weeks after your recklessness.”, Bendy said. “What…?! But I got rid of the special-grade…! I should be…like…promoted…! You can get promoted in jujutsu sorcery, right…?”, Mugman asked, sad. “Well, it’s not like jail, Mug. You can’t beat up the biggest, baddest, toughest guy and expect to be the strongest. It’s not like that. You gotta earn it by first taking down small fry. So, your on downtime for three weeks. Think of it like…vacation, Mug.”, Bendy said, getting up, and leaving. “Oh, yeah. One more thing. Lion told me that you should focus your downtime on training, since you have yet to actually train.”, Bendy said, before leaving Mugmans room. Mugman laid there for a few seconds, before getting off the side of his bed. “A special-grade curse, huh? Gotta say, Mug-brat, I’m impressed. Maybe you’ll actually have a chance to beat me once I leave your body. Or, take control. Either way, I’ll win in the end.”, Jules said, with one of the mini mouths on Mugman. “Is all you do just hype yourself, Jules? You cannot go a day without glazing yourself, can you?”, Mugman said, annoyed. “Hey, I was the greatest sorcerer in history. If I can hype myself, who can?”, Jules said smugggishly. “Oh, I don’t know, maybe people you actually let leave ALIVE.”, Mugman said, as he began to put on his uniform. “Mug-brat, are you deaf? Your classmate said that you’re on break, so what’s the reason for the suit?”, Jules asked confused, but still smug. “He can’t tell me what to do, so I’m gonna go talk to the king of the jungle.”, Mugman said, putting on his shoes. “Right here, pal.”, Jules said, before laughing. “I’m talking about Lion, you Agamemnon.”, Mugman said, before he whacked Jules mouth. “Yeesh. Tough crowd.”, Jules replied, before his mouth disappeared. Mugman began to walk towards lions office, both angry and scared about the conversation ahead. He walked into lions office. “Hey, Mug, what’s up?”, Lion said, filing some paperwork. “Um, Lion, I wanted to talk to you about my three weeks off.”, Mugman said. “Alright, spit.”, Lion said, preparing to listen. “So, I know that I was reckless, and I took on a special grade spirit-and won, by the way-, and almost died, and I gotta recover properly, but I gotta get back out there. I mean, I probably have three, or, if we find them quickly, 2 months left to live! I don’t wanna spend even SOME of that time just sitting around, throwing a ball at a wall! I wanna make a difference, and change the world, make it better for people, and for those people’s children, and for those children’s children!”, Mugman argued. “I see…”, Lion said. “Before I die, I wanna help people, make a change! Like you! Your a big part in this, making a the world a better place, and you’re not letting me help! I find that very, very confusing, Lion! So, please! Let me help! I’m string, and you could do it with me!”, Mugman argued again. “…Mugman.”, Lion began. “Do you like stories?”, Lion asked. “Uh, yeah…? But, what’s that have to do with-“, Mugman asked, before Lion cut him off. “Let me tell you a story, then, Mugman. A story about a young sorcerer, who wanted to change the world.”, Lion said. We cut to 2007, in Japan. We see two young sorcerers walking down the street. “So, what are we clowning around for, Lion”? The other sorcerer said. We then see a young, second grade sorcerer Lion walking down the street, drinking water. “What teach’ told us to do, Mickey. Just get rid of some of the cursed spirits in the area.”, Lion said to his best friend, Mickey. “This is so stupid. I say we just get rid of the people in the area, then boom, no cursed sprints in the area.”, Mickey said annoyed. “Yeah, well, we’re not like the police or something.”, Lion said, drinking from his water bottle. “Yeah, because we’re something better-Jujutsu sorcerers.”, Mickey said. “Wanna hit the arcade after this to make you feel better,  BaAaBy?”, Lion said, treating Mickey like a cranky toddler. “Shut up, Lion. But fine.”, Mickey said, groaning. “Cool.”, Lion said, throwing his water bottle in the air, and then evaporating it. “Alright. We’re here.”, Mickey said, standing up straight. “Alright, let’s kick some cursed butt.”, Lion said, before walking in. “Yeah, what you said.”, Mickey said tiredly, before following behind. Lion takes care of a grade four curse, and Mickey turns it into a ball, and swallows it. “Blech. It’s so gross that it almost makes you laugh.”, Mickey said, rubbing his throat. “But it’s worth it, cause then you can-“, Lion said, before Lion and Mickey said, “Control the curse and make it fight.”, at the same time. “Yeah, I know, Lion. But they taste disgusting.”, Mickey said. “They taste like literal trash.”, Mickey added. “Well, they’re pure negativity, so maybe that’s the reason.”, Lion said jokingly. “Well, maybe we need to get rid of the source of the negativity.”, Mickey said. “…you know we can’t kill non-sorcerers, Mick. That’s wrong.”, Lion said, now serious. “You have to make two wrongs to make a right, Right?”, Mickey said, now facing Lion. “Sometimes two wrongs can make three wrongs, Mick.”, Lion said. “It would be the easiest way. They don’t have any curse energy, let alone a technique. So, why can’t we get rid of the people that make the curses? Why can’t we get rid of the source of the problem?”, Mickey said, now angry. “Cause it’s not right. If we kill all non-sorcerers, jujutsu wouldn’t exist, the world would end, and eventually, we would become the humans, and curses would still linger.”, Lion said. “It would still be better with no people. You could do it Lion.”, Mickey said. “You could get rid of all non-sorcerers. You could make the world a better place. You could help save the world from the evil that lives, breathes, eats, rids on the world. Non-sorcerers.”, Mickey explained. “Mickey, it just isn’t right.”, Lion said. “Are you strong because your Lion? Or are you Lion because you’re strong?”, Mickey asked. “What are you trying to say?”, Lion asked. “I’m asking if your strength defines who you are. Because it doesn’t. One day, Lion. I’ll make the world a better place, I just have to make it.”, Mickey explained. “I wanna help people. I wanna make a change. Like you. You’re a big part in this, making a the world a better place, and you’re not letting me help. I find that very, very confusing, Lion. So, please. Let me help. I’m strong, and you could do it with me.”, Mickey asked. “Help me eliminate all non-sorcerers.”, Mickey asked again. A moment of silence fell upon the two, before Lion replied, saying, “Killing innocent people, regardless of whether they’re sorcerers or not, doesn’t solve the root problem. It only perpetuates a cycle of hatred and fear. We have to be better. We have to find another way. I’m sorry, Mickey, I can’t. I just can’t. My hands are tied, and you don’t see your error.”, Lion said. “Fine then. If you don’t stand by me, you stand in front of me. You’re in my way.”, Mickey said, beginning to ready his Cursed Technique to fight. “Mickey, please. You’re my friend. I don’t wanna fight you.”, Lion said, preparing his cursed technique for defense, not wanting to hurt Mickey. “I wouldn’t wanna fight me either.”, Mickey said, before sending out a grade three curse at Lion. Lion dodged, and tried to reason with Mickey. “Mickey, come on! This isn’t you.”, Lion said, outrunning the curse chasing him. “You’re right, Lion. This isn’t me. This is the new me.”, Mickey said, and with a swift motion of his hand, the curse swept Lion into a wall. Lion used his cursed technique to reinforce his body in order to not take damage. “Mickey, listen to what you’re saying. You want to kill innocent people to make a better place.”, Lion said, dashing towards Mickey, preparing to disarm him. “You have to get rid of non-innocents to make innocents.”, Mickey said. Lion jumped up, and prepared to kick Mickey. But just about when he was gonna kick, he stopped. “Mickey, please. I’m your friend. Let me help.”, Lion said, holding onto Mickeys shoulder. “I don’t need any help.”, Mickey said, brushing off lions hand. “And I’m not your friend.”, Mickey said, before Mickey left, not just the building. But lions friendship. The jujutsu high school. We then cut back to present day. “It’s been five years ever since that day occurred.”, Lion said, tears running down his face. “Your room…it was Mickeys. It was ours.”, Lion said. “So, what happened to Mickey…?”, Mugman asked, feeling a lump grow in his throat. “I don’t know. I haven’t seen him since.”, Lion said. “I tell you this, Mugman, so that you learn that your strength does not define who you are, it does not define the world. Your choices define what you are. And what you do.”, Lion said, now crying. “I…I understand, sensei.”, Mugman said, now also tearing up. “During these three weeks…can you teach me all you know?”, Mugman asked. “I’d be happy to, Mugman.”, Lion said, putting down his pen. And so, Mugman trained relentlessly. And then his suspension was up. We cut to three weeks later, with Mugman, Bendy, and Cuphead heading to Kanto, to go and recruit another sorcerer from their sister school. “So, who are we picking up?”, Mugman asked, while playing Flappy Bird on his phone. “Alice.”, Cuphead said, looking out of the window. “Oh. Does she have a cursed technique?”, Mugman asked. “Yeah, obviously, Mugman.”, Cuphead replied. “What is it?”, Mugman asked. “It’d be too good to spoil you, Mugman. But just know this: When she gets worked up…her power is comparable to Jules.”, Bendy said. “Whaaaat? You’re lying.”, Mugman said, not believing Bendy. “Trust me, Mugman.”, Bendy said. Then, the train stops, and the location says that they’ve arrived in Kanto. “Alright, let’s go to our sister school.”, Cuphead said, leading the group. “How is it that you’re a grade two sorcerer leading the group, but I’m a grade THREE sorcerer being led by a lower class?”, Bendy said frustrated. “Dunno, don’t care.”, Cuphead said. Eventually, after about an hour of walking, they arrive at their sister school. Cuphead and his gang walk in, and check in with this schools principal/sensei. They then go to Alice’s room. Mugman knocks on the door. “Ugh, who is it?”, a voice said from inside the room. “Chicka-chicka boom boom.”, Bendy said out of nowhere. Suddenly, the room got quiet, and Alice opened the door. “Bendy?”, Alice asked. “Hey, you remembered the signal!”, Bendy said happily. “And uh…who are these losers?”, Alice asked, whispering to Bendy. “Oh, there with me. We need to recruit you for a mission.”, Bendy whispered back. “Oh.”, Alice said. Alice stepped back, and looked at Mugman and Cuphead. “And you guys are…?”, Alice asked. Mugman raised his hand, and introduced himself. “Hi! I’m Mugman, Grade Two sorcerer!”, Mugman said happily. “Nice to meet you.”, Mugman added, extending his hand. Alice then glared at Cuphead. “I’m Cuphead.”, Cuphead said, looking away. Alice stared at the two for a minute. “This…’Mugman’ guy looks weird. Definitely the kid that ate his own boogers. Does he even have a cursed technique? And Cuphead thinks that he’s the GOAT, by just telling me his name.”, Alice thought. “Why am I always stuck with the weird ones.”, Alice said, sighing. “We need you cause your ‘apparently’, pretty strong.”, Mugman said, with skepticism and sarcasm in his voice. Alice gritted her teeth at Mugman. “And what’s that supposed to mean, you little narc?”, Alice said, angry. “What I’m saying is that I don’t believe that you’re that tough that you could rival Jules in power. I mean…”, Mugman says, about to say something to set Alice off. “…you’re a girl!”, Mugman said. Alice’s top blew off. “Alright then, dippy. Let’s spar right here, right now. “Okay.”, Mugman said. Alice and Mugman then head out into the field. Mugman stands still,e doe ting Alice to be on the level of a grade one sorcerer. Alice ready her stance. “Cursed Technique: Gamblers Monkey.”, Alice states, before a pair of die appear before Alice. Alice then pulls out one of her weapons, and places it down. “Bet one of your items, or anything that you have.”, Alice said. Mugman, underestimating her, places down EWF. Suddenly, both of their items are sucked into the dice, and Alice pockets the dice. “Domain Expansion: All Bets Are Off.”, Alice said, activating her domain expansion. Suddenly, a black dome surrounds the two, and the two are placed in a card game of War. “What the? Why are we playing War?”, Mugman thought. Mugman dashed to get up and attack Alice, but was quickly placed back down into the chair. “Ah, ah, ah.”, Alice said, waving her finger. “You already made a bet. Now you have to play the game.”, Alice said. Suddenly, Mugmans mind was filled with the rules of her technique. Cursed Technique: Gamblers Monkey
When this Cursed Technique activates, it summons a pair of die. After the die are summoned, the two people fighting are forced to put one thing they have on a “bet”, that if either of them lose the “bet”, that object or anything that they had bet is destroyed beyond repair. When both players have placed their “bets”, the person with this cursed technique (gamblers monkey), activates their Domain Expansion: All Bets Are Off, which puts the opponent and the other opponent either in a boxing arena, a game of cards (can be blackjack, poker or war), or puts them back at the betting stage to bet one more item. If either of them lose any of the challenges or refuses to put down something to bet, that person, along with their item(or items that they betted), are eradicated. If either of the players lose in one of the battles, they, and their betted item, are eradicated. The Domain Expansion for this cursed technique is automatic, and does not require cursed energy to activate or form. “Woah, this is how the game functions, huh?”, Mugman said, looking at Alice. “Yup, glad that I gave you the rules, huh?”, Alice said with a smirk. “Sure.”, Mugman said, before he drew a card, and they both began to play the game. As they were playing the game, Mugman thought about how unique her technique was. It wasn’t one made for fighting, it was made for gambling, Which he thought was honestly pretty cool. It’s not everyday that you get to see cursed techniques like this, let alone, cursed techniques that aren’t inherited or copied. Mugman put down a card, and with that swift motion, Mugman won the game. The domain dissipates, and the pair of die fly out of Alice’s pocket. Suddenly, Mugmans EWF drops in front of him, while the dice holding Alice’s weapons shivers, and then cracks, and dies. Alice grits her teeth, while Mugman hold EWF in his hand, looking at its new design and material. “Woah, what happened to my weapon?”, Mugman said, asking Alice. Alice, still angry about her loss, answers Mugman, “When you win against my technique, it enhances the item or whatever you betted by tenfold.”, Alice said. “Cool!”, Mugman stated. “Alice…”, Mugman began to ask. “I want to gamble again.”, Mugman asked. Alice looked up. “Half of my lifespan, if I lose, goes away. If I win, my cursed energy is increased by tenfold, and remains that way from now on.”, Mugman said. “MUGMAN, ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU DONT WANNA BET LIKE THAT, THATS TOO RISKY!”, Bendy yelled. Alice grinned. “THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO SEE! I LIKE TO SEE HIGH STAKES!”, Alice yelled with a grin. “I accept your bet, Mugman. If I win, I get half of your remaining lifespan, but if I lose, the cursed energy that you receive that multiplies your cursed energy tenfold will be my own cursed energy!”, Alice yelled. Mugman also grinned. “Let’s do it!”, he yelled. Alice threw out the die once more, and the die absorbed Mugmans cursed energy, and half of his life. The other die absorbed Alice’s Cursed energy. “Domain Expansion: All Bets Are Off!”, Alice yelled. A black dome surrounded the two, and the two were placed into a boxing ring. “This is it, Mugman. This is the coin toss that decides our fate. Let’s hope that we win.”, Alice said, grinning. “Good luck.”, Mugman said, getting into a boxing stance. “I don’t need luck. I’m full of it.”, Alice said, starting off the boxing match with a right hook, followed by a jab to the stomach. Mugman blocks the right hook, but is punched in his gut. Mugman retaliates with 3 right jabs, followed by a left hook, and three right jabs, all to the face. Alice blocked the last few, after being hit by the first few. Alice tried to juke Mugman by winding up a left hook, only to throw a right jab. Mugman didn’t fall for it though, dodging the right jab, before mollywhopping Alice in the face, sending her into the ropes of the ring. Alice relaxed for a minute, before pushing back on the ropes, sending herself flying into Mugman. Alice threw a flurry of punches at Mugman, with some landing, and some being blocked. Mugman threw a right hook at the same time Alice also threw a right hook, leaving them at a temporary standstill. “You’re good. You’ve been practicing?”, Alice asked sarcastically. “You know, I’m something of an athlete myself.”, Mugman answered, before following a jab that lasted for 0.01 seconds. Alice was sent back by the jab, both surprised and injured. Alice let herself fall down to avoid another jab by Mugman, before catching her self, and pushing herself back up to land a left hook on Mugman. Mugman was sent back, but caught himself on the rings ropes. Mugman dodged a punch to the face, and rapidly punched Alice in the stomach, before landing on uppercut. Alice fell down, but quickly got up to avoid losing. “I gotta dodge his punches for a while, until I can regain my stamina.”, Alice thought, dodging a jab from Mugman. Mugman slowed his jabs, trying to predict where she would dodge. But as Mugman tried to land another punch, he reimbursed the words of his sensei. “Don’t let your strength define you. Let your choices define who you are.”, Mugman thought, imaging his sensei fighting by his side. Mugman landed multiple punches and labs on Alice, and with landing the final blow, Alice was done. But, as Alice accepted her defeat, she felt something catch her by the collar. It was Mugman. “Stand still for ten seconds.”, Mugman instructed. Alice, in a daze, didn’t answer, but just stood there. Mugman walked over to one of the corners of the ring, and began to smash his head in. “He…he’s…he’s trying to initiate a tie…”, Alice thought, as she felt her legs become numb. And with the last blow to Mugmans head, both of the contestants fell to the floor, bruised and battered. The domain fell, and the two received their betted items back, not enhanced. Mugman used his Reversed Cursed Technique to heal his injuries, with Alice doing the same. “Why?”, Alice asked. “You had me on the final thread. Why give it up? Why give up ten times the energy you have now? Why give up the best statistics in jujutsu history?”, Alice asked, genuinely curious. “A wise person once told me that your strength doesn’t define who you are. It’s your choices. My strength is defined by my choices, and my choices defined me. I know what power can do to a person. It isn’t pretty. I didn’t want either of us to become absorbed by power, and do something risky that might chance the future maybe fifty, or a hundred years later. The future I want to make is the future that will become. A better world.”, Mugman said. Alice got up, dusting herself off. “Most sorcerers I know would’ve taken that chance and stomped my face in. But…you’re different. You’re the most respectable sorcerer I know now.”, Alice said, extending out her hand this time. “I’m Alice. Special Grade Sorcerer.”, Alice said with a smile on her face. Mugman shook her hand. “Mugman Grace, Second Grade Sorcerer.”, Mugman said, looking at Alice. “So…uh…how did it go…?”, Bendy asked, looking at the two worried that one of them won. “It was a tie. And Alice is coming along with us.”, Mugman said. Alice confirmed, saying, “True dat.” “Alright, well, let’s head back to Tokyo. Our sensei is waiting to give us our next mission.”, Cuphead said, eating a chocolate  stick. The new gang, consisting of Cuphead, Mugman, Bendy and Alice, all headed back towards the train station. We then cut to Tokyo, five hours later. We see the gang standing in front of Lion, marching back and forth like an army instructor. “Alright, guys. Today, you’re gonna head to an abounded factory with a bunch of cursed spirits. Two things: One, this might be a possible location of Jules finger. And two…”, Lion said, before continuing. “This might be a hideout of a sorcerer that went rogue 7 years ago. So, be on the lookout.”, Lion said. Most of the group just shrugged it off, but Mugman didn’t. Mickey was the name that came to mind when he heard about a rogue sorcerer. “We got it, sensei.”, they all said in unison. And with that, they set off. 4 hours later, they arrive. “Alright, here’s the plan. Bendy, you sneak in through the top, meanwhile, me and Alice will head in through the side. Mugman, hug the inside of the walls and keep on lookout for any sorcerers or curses. Got it, gang?”, Cuphead said. “Ahem. I believe that I’m the highest graded sorcerer, Cuphead.”, Alice said jokingly. “Shut up, Alice.”, Cuphead said. “Okay, Move out.”, Cuphead ordered, before everyone dashed so fast that they disappeared. Mugman cleared the outside, and reported, “no one outback. Red lobster, what do you see on the bottom floor with Wonder Woman?”, “Mugman, what are you talking about?”, Cuphead asked, genuinely confused. “Oh, I’m using code name! 8m Blue Jay, your Red Lobster, Alice is Wonder Woman, and Bendy is Lil’ Devil!”, Mugman said. “Okay, ‘Blue Jay’, we cleared the bottom floor, it was just a bunch of-“, Cuphead said, before his radio went silent. We see a sword go through Cupheads radio. “If I had practiced a little more, I would’ve pinned you to the wall.”, a mysterious figure said behind them. Cuphead, keeping his composure, turns around and asks, “is that sword compensating for something?” The mysterious figure smirks, and answers, “No, actually. It’s antique. old. And has a rope attached to it.”, as he pulls the sword back, cutting Cuphead on the nose. Alice then turns towards the figure. “Who even are you?”, Alice asks. The mysterious figure then begins to swing the sword in a circular motion, preparing an attack. “Why would I tell you that?”, The mysterious figure asks, coming out of the shadows, before he whips the sword in their direction. Cuphead and Alice ready their Cursed Techniques. “So that we can call you names while rubbing your face in the dirt.”, Alice says. The mysterious figure finally reveals himself to be Mickey. “Alright then. Let’s see if your sensei taught you well.”, Mickey says, before he swings his sword. Cuphead and Alice go on defense, staying back to back. Mickey then swings down from above, seemingly teleporting. “How come I can’t sense his cursed energy?”, Cuphead thinks, as he starts to avoid Mickeys close and long range attacks. Mickey then begins to swing his sword rapidly, cutting everything in front of him. “ALICE! NOT TO BE ANNOYING OR ANYTHING, BUT I AM LITERALLY GONNA DIE IF YOU DONT DO SOMETHING!”, Cuphead yelled, narrowing avoiding his head getting chopped off. Alice then summons a deck of cards, and throws them at Mickey. Mickey dashes again, this  time in front of Alice. “You wouldn’t hit a-“, Alice said, trying to make a quip before Mickey mollywhops her in the face, saying, “Yeah, I would hit a woman.” Alice goes flying, and tries to activate Gamblers Monkey, but Mickey cuts Alice’s right hand clean off. Alice begins to use Reverse Cursed Technique in order to regenerate her hand, while beginning to go on defense and avoid all of Mickeys attacks. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Mugman crashes through the window. Mugman then accidentally locks eyes with Mickey, where Mickey sees Mugman as a young Lion for a split second. Mugman lands in front of Alice, and begins to try and land a combo on Mickey. Mickey quickly remembers this combo. “Oh, this is Lions. So, Lion taught these kids jujutsu, huh? Alright then. Lucky me, since he taught me these moves too. And how to counter them.”, Mickey thinks, as he blocks Mugmans combo. Mickey backs up, and sees Mugman, Cuphead and Alice in front of him. “So, if it isn’t Lions students. He’s been busy, huh? Training the next generation of sorcerers to fight his battles.”, Mickey says, engaging in banter with the trio. “Mickey, listen. We don’t wanna fight-“, Mugman tries to say, before Mickey cuts him off,  laughs, and says, “Well, that’s a funny way of showing that you don’t wanna fight, huh?” Mugman frowns, and Cuphead steps up. “Whatever we do, we don’t wanna fight you. We just need some help.”, Cuphead says. “Help? Help you? Help the very institution I left? Help Lion? You all are as stubborn as he is. You kids don’t know how to make the best change in this world. Lion certainly didn’t.”, Mickey retorts, pointing out his sword. Mugman replied, “Mickey, please. Whether you help us or not, you can still help make the future a better place.” “You wanna know something very interesting? You sound JUST like him. You sound like Lion. Always thinking that there is another way. Without murder. Always talking about more options, and more chances. News Flash, Lion Jr., the world doesn’t work like that.”, Mickey said, tightening his grip on his sword. “Mickey, you once believed in changing the world, just like us. Maybe our way isn’t perfect, but it’s a start. Help us make it better.”, Mugman said. Mickey lowered his sword, and looked at Mugman. “I’m not promising anything, but I guess I’ll hear you guys out.”, Mickey said. Just then, Mickey coughed up some blood. Mickey then fell to one knee. “Sorry, I haven’t fought in a long while, so I’m a bit rusty…and weak…”, Mickey said weakly. “Oh, wait, here.”, Mugman said, finally letting his guard down and healing Mickey. Mickey is then healed back to full health and energy. “Thanks…”, Mickey said. “Hey…do you remember how I said I’d hear you out?”, Mickey asked with one eye open. Mugman looked at Mickey with a little confusion. Suddenly, within the blink of an eye, Mugman feels him arm fall of, followed by the COMPLETE ANNIHILATION OF THE BUILDING, AND LEAVING THE RUBBLE TO FALL ON THE GROUP. “I lied.”, Mickey stated, before putting his sword away. “Alright, now that I’m done with the three stooges, I can-“, Mickey stated, before he felt a sword swing, and cut the rope on his sword. “You said three stooges, right? Larry, Curly and Moe. Well, there was actually four. You just forgot the last one.”, Bendy said, holding his and Bendys sword. “Shemp.”, Bendy added. “Huh. Another sorcerer. Well, I guess it’s true what they say, monkeys travel in groups. It’s not often that I get to wipe the floor with jujutsu sorcerers. Let alone, three. So four should break my record.”, Mickey said, pulling out an alternate version of EWF. “You talk a lot. You kiss your mother with that mouth?”, Bendy said, preparing both swords. Mickey retorted, saying, “I killed my mother seven years ago.”, before he gets into his stance. “Yeesh, mommy issues, huh?”, Bendy asked. “I feel ya there.”, Bendy continued. “Really? Well then, I wonder what else you feel. Maybe pain?”, Mickey said, continuing the banter between them. Mickey then dashed towards Bendy. Bendy dodged, before he tried to slice Mickeys neck. Mickey blocked it and then kicked Bendy in the gut, sending him into a nearby field. “Oh, yeah. I have to use that fire technique if I wanna complete that to-do list.”, Bendy said, just now remembering something. “Fire…technique?”, Mickey asked. “Yeah, it’s something anyone can learn, that’s why it’s unique, and also, almost no sorcerer knows about it.”, Bendy said. Mickey lowered his guard, genuinely curious. “Show me.”, Mickey asked. Bendy shrugged, and then said. “Makkana honō. Open. Jigoku no mon. Lend me power. ⬛️, Fuga.” Suddenly, his cursed energy changed into a hot rd color, and then his fists began to light on fire. “Huh…a cursed technique that can be used by anyone. I gotta say, I’m impressed. I thought I had seen everything in the jujutsu world.”, Mickey said, sensing Bendys now red hot cursed energy. “What’s this Cursed Technique called?”, Mickey asked, intrigued. “Honō no ringuburēdo.”, Bendy said. “In English, it’s Ring Blade of Fire.”, Bendy said. “I’m intrigued.”, Mickey said. “Show me what you and that cursed technique has got.”, Mickey continued, with open arms. Bendy dashed toward Mickey with fists a blazing, and his swings seemingly increased with speed. Mickey could nearly keep up with the punches. “Twin Meteors: Pebbles. Open.”, Bendy said, before he clapped his hands in a pointing position. Suddenly, two Little rocks from the fields ground flew up and floated by Bendys shoulder. Then, suddenly, the two pebbles were lit on fire, and suddenly were shot so fast, that Mickey couldn’t even realize that he had been hit. “This technique…it’s the pinnacle of jujutsu.”, Mickey stated, weaving Bendys punches. “Honō no ya. Extend. Open.”, Bendy said, before he summoned an arrow made of fire, and got in the posture of an archer. “Fire.”, Bendy said, before he launched the arrow. Suddenly, a burst of fire followed as Bendy launched the arrow. It sailed through the air as Mickey watched the arrow graciously fly towards him. Mickey dodged, and saw the arrow land and send of a slice of fire that would’ve cut Mickey in half. Bendy then began to fire more and more, as Mickey began to think as how this technique works. “This technique works by using fire. So, how do I get rid of the fire? Does it flow automatically, or do you have to charge it? Is it normal fire, and can you extinguish it with water? Or is it made up of cursed energy?”, Mickey thought as he kept dodging.
Mickey then noticed something. Something that no one would’ve noticed. He noticed that Bendy was sweating a lot. And not just that, he noticed that Bendys gloves were burnt off, and that his hands were red hot. “It’s actual fire! And not just that, it hurts to use.” Mickey realized, before he saw bendy begin to back up slowly. Mickey looked behind Bendy and saw that there was a small lake behind him. Mickey realized what Bendy was gonna do. “He’s gonna try and cool off in the lake. Well, not if I let him.”, Mickey said, before he started to dash towards the fire wielder. Mickey began to attack in a circular motion, forcing Bendy to make u turn and face away from the lake. Then, Mickey dashed behind Bendy, and kicked him into the lake. Bendy managed to climb out of the water, but seemed to be cocky for some reason. He then pulled Mickey into the water, and the two stared at eachother. “Wait a minute…this isn’t water, this is-“, Mickey thought, before he quickly realized something. “THIS IS A GAS PIT!”, Mickey thought, panicking. Just then, under the gas pit, Bendy snapped his fingers. Mickey then thought, “well, shit.” Suddenly, a huge explosion-comparable to a volcano erupting-occurred from the gas pit, sending both Bendy and Mickey flying. Eventually, they both landed, and Mickey tried to use Reverse Curse Technique to heal the burns, but it wasn’t working. “Why…why isn’t Reverse Curse Technique working…?”, Mickey asked Bendy, who somehow sustained no injuries. “It’s simple, really. That wasn’t just any explosion. That was an explosion full of cursed energy. Full of Honōs Cursed Energy. Reverse Curse Technique can heal physical damage, maybe even some basic cursed energy scuffs, but this,” he gestured to the scorched earth around them, “this was infused with something a bit more… specialized.”
Bendy said, smirking. “Okay, I get that…”, Mickey said, before asking, “but how come you weren’t injured? Furthermore, the burn marks on your hands are gone now. How?” “Well, it’s because that I used it, and along with the gas explosion, it healed me when I used Reverse Curse Technique on this Honō energy. It iced me, and healed my wounds. i just learned this, by the way, so kudos to me.”, Bendy explained further.
Mickey then realized that he was soon gonna pass out. “Well. Guess that’s it, huh? Bendy. You were the strongest opponent I ever faced. I wont forget you for as long as I live.”, Mickey stated, as he limped away. Bendy tried to run after him, but he soon realized that he had accidentally healed his wound into the alternate version of EWF. “Tell Lion that he owes me seven dollars. We still haven’t gone to the arcade yet.”, Mickey said, before escaping. A few minutes later, Mugman, Alice and Cuphead ran over and helped out Bendy. “Bendy, how was Mickey?”, Mugman asked. “Was he tough?”, Mugman asked him again. “He was TOUGH, Mugman. Really, really tough.”, Bendy said. “Hey, Bendy. What was that technique all about?”, Cuphead asked, curious and confused. “It’s something secret between me and Lion.”, Bendy said, with a smirk. “A question for you guys, now. Where’s the finger?”, Bendy asked. Silence fell upon the group in embarrassment. “Oh, yeah…we were caught up in you and Bendy fighting that we forgot about the finger…”, Mugman said embarrassed. “MUGMAN, YOU WERENT SUPPOSED TO TELL HIM THAT!”, Cuphead and Alice barked at Bendy. We then cut to the squad sitting down in front of Lion, who was going over their mission report. “So, squad. I want you to go over what happened. And then I’ll read the report that all of you wrote, and then compare it to the body cams on your suits.”, Lion said, annoyed. Cuphead cleared his throat, and began. “Well, it started out like any other mission, sensei.” Alice then added, “But then, this weird dude showed up. I think I remember Mugman calling him Mickey or something. Anywho, he whooped our asses, but then Bendy came out of nowhere, which, would’ve been very helpful to do BEFORE we got clapped, BENDY.”, Alice added, staring directly at Bendy. Bendy was feeling guilty, and avoiding eye contact. “Yeah, but then he pulled out like, some weird technique that is apparently a secret between you and Bendy, and he was all like, “Fuga”, and his hands lit on fire, and he managed to beat Mickey, but…Mickey got away.”, Mugman also added. Lion stood quietly, before he answered, “So, you all just…watched the two fight?”
Cuphead, Alice and Bendy chuckled nervously. “I mean…”, Cuphead tried to defend. “You should’ve seen it sensei…”, Alice tried to back up Cuphead. “Maybe we were strategizing…?”, Mugman suggested. Lion then pounded the three on the head. “Ow, that hurt! Wait, how come Bendy didn’t get hit?!”, Mugman protested. “Because, unlike you three, bendy actually fought and defeated Mickey by himself.”, Lion said. Bendy grinned. “Though, if Mickey is still alive after all of these years, then this might mean that something big is coming. You three are grounded for two weeks. During that time, you can’t go on missions. You can do anything else, just don’t leave Jujutsu High. Meanwhile, Bendy here is gonna go to Paris, France. Not for vacation, but because he’s gonna train there with one of my private teacher friends.” Lion explain. “Are we clear?”, Lion asked the three. “Yes, Sensei…”, the three chimed. “Bendy, I’ll buy you the plane tickets to Paris, don’t worry. I’ll also give you about…2 Mil to spend at Paris, along with some cash to get back home after two weeks, alright?”, Lion asked. “Yes, sensei! I’m gonna go back my stuff right now!”, Bendy said, before he was gone within half a second. “As for the rest of you, you’re dismissed. I hope you learned your lesson.”, Lion said. “Yes, Sensei…”, the three said, before leaving. Lion sat back in his chair, and looked back at a picture of a younger him and Mickey  eating ice cream at China Town in Tokyo, 2004. Lion smiles at the photo, before he pulls out Bendys body cam footage.  He looks at it, and looks at Mickeys fighting style. “Huh, he still uses it.”, Lion says, before he skips to the end of the battle between Bendy and Mickey. He then looks at Mickey in the video, before Mickey in the video says that Lion still owes him seven dollars. We then cut back to another flashback, but this one will be quick, in 2006, a year before the breakup. “So, how was the carnival?”, a young Lion asked Mickey. “Insanely hard. Almost half of those games were rigged, and the half on the half weren’t even games! They were rides! They rigged rides!”, Mickey yelled, frustrated but also jokingly. “Alright, well, I’m hungry, you wanna get something to eat?”, Lion asked, as they were about to pass by a ramen shop. “Yeah, but, you’re paying for now.”, Mickey said. “I don’t have any yen on me.”, Mickey continued. “Alright, fine.”, Lion said. They both head inside, and Lion pays for the food. “You know, you owe me like, seven bucks, alright?”, Lion said, as he took a sip from a Soda he had bought, along with their ramen. “Yeah. I’ll pay up later.”, Mickey said. Lion chuckles, before we suddenly cut back to 8 years later. We see Lion still sitting in his office, remembering that moment. And, with that, we end Chapter two of Mugmans Jujutsu.
