At Canterlot High School, it's very quiet here. Since it's the weekend, the school is closed at the time. Walking at the school is Wallflower Blush brining a few gardening supplies to the school's garden in a bag. Along with a wagon carrying a few pots of plants to add to the garden. Since she's the president of the gardening club, it's her job to make sure the garden is healthy.
Wallflower walks into the path of the woods, and pass between the two bushes to visit the garden.
With a smile, Wallflower says, "It sure is a nice day to work with the garden."
Wallflower continues to walk through the bushes that has been cleared to see the school's garden. The sun shines through the trees that makes the garden glow their colors. She puts the bag down, and take the gardening supplies out.
Wallflower begins to dig a hole for one of the new plants to go in until she notices something odd. She notices there is something new in the garden.
She sees a large flower, a carnation to be exact. The carnation is larger than any flower she has seen, and its appearance is different too. The flower has a yellow face with a long pointed nose, orange cheeks, black thin eyebrows, and closed eyes. It has six orange petals with darker borders on the outer end. A dark stem with two dark green leaves on the top and four light green leaves on the bottom. Strangest thing, the flower looks like it's asleep.
Wallflower walks to the flower, and questions, "That's strange, I don't remember seeing this flower before. Where did it come from?"
Curious Wallflower looks at the flower from head to the bottom of the stem. She has no clue where the flower come from.
"It looks like… a carnation, and a big one. Maybe I can take care of it, and I'm going to need to take extra care of it," Wallflower says.
Wallflower decides to take care of the flower. She grabs a watering can that has already been full of water, and give some to the carnation. Unaware that the carnation begins to move. After watering the carnation, Wallflower walks to the wagon to get some plant food out for it.
As she gets the box of plant food, the carnation lets out a yawn and wakes up. Then stretches his leaves. Then his eyes begin to open. Once they are open, the carnation looks around with a stunned look on his face.
"Hey… what is this place?" The flower questions.
He then look ahead to see the girl walking towards it with a box with a picture of plants and flowers on it.
Wallflower sits on her knees and begin to poor the food on to the ground where the flower is. Then spreads it out under the leaves.
Suddenly a firm voice asks, "Hey, what do you think you're doing?"
Wallflower hears the voice and looks up to see the carnation holding a stern look on its face and his leaves crossed. His peals has pointed thorns on them, and his stem gain yellow thorns. Wallflower yelps as she gets up, and ends up falling on her bottom.
The flower repeats, "Well, what are you doing?"
"I-I-I-I was giving you some food and water," Wallflower nervously answers.
Arching one of his eyebrows, the flower ask, "So you were just trying to feed me?"
Wallflower nods her head with a nervous look on her face.
The flower calms down, "Well, uh, thanks. Not that I asked you to do it?"
Wallflower becomes less nervous to hear the flower being more calm.
"Who… who are you? You don't look like any carnation I've seen," Wallflower asks.
The flower looks at the girl, and answers, "Cagney. My name is Cagney Carnation."
"Cagney. That's a nice name. My name is Wallflower. Wallflower Blush," Wallflower says, showing a small smile.
In her thoughts, Wallflower wonders, "Cagney, why does that name sound familiar?"
Then the flower, Cagney asks, "So mind telling me where we are?"
"Oh, this is my garden. Well, it's my school's garden. I'm the president of the gardening club, and I take care of the flowers and plants here," Wallflower answers.
Cagney looks over the garden as he says, "That's quite a garden you got. I actually have a garden too. Of course, I have no idea how I got to this one."
"Where are you from?" Wallflower asks.
"I'm from Inkwell Isle. I lived on the first isle, and that's where my garden is," Cagney answers.
"Really. That sounds nice," Wallflower says, showing a little more of her smile.
"Yes my garden is nice, not as nice as yours though," Cagney says.
Wallflower blushes, and says, "Oh why… why thank you."
"And sorry I woke you up. I didn't realized you were this kind of living flower. I mean I know flowers are alive, but I never
see them move… and talk for that matter," Wallflower apologizes.
"Eh, no hard feelings. I'm glad to have woken up in a garden," Cagney says.
"How did you get here?" Wallflower asks.
"I have no idea," Cagney answers, shrugging his leaves.
Wallflower thinks about the situation, and knows that Cagney doesn't seem to know how he is here, and probably have nowhere else to go.
Wallflower says to Cagney, "Well, if you want, you can stay in my garden for a while?"
"You really mean it?" Cangey asks, looking curious.
"Sure. We can take care of the garden together. Even though I gave you some plant food and water, I'm sure I can get you something else to eat. Since you're new to the city, I can help get you some food and stuff," Wallflower says.
Cagney shows a calm smile, and says, "Thanks. And you know what kid…"
"What?" Wallflower asks.
Cagney puts his leaf on Wallflower's head and rubs it with a smile, "I think you and I are going to be good friends."
Wallflower smiles, and answers, "Right."
Wallflower and Cagney decide to get started on working on the school garden. However, neither one of them is away that someone is watching them from afar. Most of spy's appearance can't be fully make out. All that is visible is a purple suit jacket with a dark purple vest, and white shirt. The bottom of the head that looks like a block. And finally, an evil grin on his face.
The mysterious being says, "Well, well, isn't today my lucky day. I'll just, sit back and watch those two a little longer."
And that's what he decides to do is to watch Cagney and Wallflower. When the time is right, he will confront the two, specifically the giant carnation.
At the front lawn of the school, by the Wondercolt statue, Sunset Shimmer, along with her friends, and the two cup brothers are trying to come up with a plan to find their friends and to find the whereabouts of the Devil and his minions.
Sunset puts a map of the city down, so she and the others can figure out what to do first.
Applejack is the first to speak, "Alright y'all. We have plenty of being from Inkwell isle just roaming around the city without a clue where they are."
"At the same time, The Devil and his men could be trying to get the debtors' souls and try to get the town to sell their souls away," Rainbow adds.
"The city is big, but if we work together, we'll be able to find them all," Sunset says.
Cuphead asks, "But how are we going to find the Devil?"
"Yeah. He can be anywhere," Mugman adds.
"And he could have sent his henchmen all over town by now," Fluttershy shivers in fright.
"That's right. We need to be careful. If we spotted one of them even the Devil and King Dice, report to the others with our phones," Twilight says.
"Oh, how exactly are we supposed to find them all in this Great… Big… City?!" Fluttershy worriedly says
"Fluttershy is right. Canterlot is a big place. It will take a while for us to find them all," Rarity agrees.
"If only we have more people helping us, or at least more can help us get a bird's eye view," Pinkie says, looking a bit sad.
"Did you say a bird's eye view?" A female's voice asks.
Hearing the voice, the girls and two boys look around and wonder who talk.
Then the female voice says, "Up here."
The group look up to see a big cloud, and someone is on it. The person is a female. She has a light pink color skin, dark brown finger wave style hair with short curls. She is wearing a red shirt with dark red short puffy sleeves, and a darker shade of red on the bottom, a light red shoes and skirt, and a weather vane on her head.
Recognizing the person, the boys happily say, "Hilda!"
"Hey boys, how it going down there?" Hilda asks as the cloud descends to the grounds.
"We were going to search for anyone who ends up getting sent here. We already found Goopy, and now we found you,"
Cuphead answers.
Well, it looks like I found you. And it seems to me like two and your new friends can use some help," Hilda says.
"We sure do," Mugman say.
The Cuphead intrudes the girls and Hilda to each other, "Girls, this is Hilda Berg. Hilda, these are our new friends. Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie."
"Hello," The Mane seven replies.
"Hey kids. Now about this help you need," Hilda replies.
Sunset nods her head, "Yes. We can really use you help."
"I heard your conversation about the Devil and his lackeys might be around, and said you needed some more eye in the sky help. Well, I'm your girl," Hilda says with a smile.
"Thank you," Fluttershy replies with a smile.
Then Rarity asks, "Were you able to see anyone from the isle at your air point of view."
Hilda begins to think, "Hmm. You know, I did saw Cagney not too long ago."
"Really?! Where?! Where?!" Twilight asks in surprise.
"I saw him in the woods behind the building. I saw him with a girl with light green skin and long dark green hair. They were both in this garden and seem have a good time, which is surprising because he didn't act mean to her or anything," Hilda answers.
"A garden?" Pinkie questions.
"And he's with a girl with dark green hair and light green skin," Twilight adds.
Sunset gasp, realizing who Cagney is with, "Cagney must be with Wallflower in the school garden."
"You mean the one behind the school?" Pinkie asks.
"Exactly. We need to get to them before anyone else shows up," Sunset says.
Suddenly, Hilda remembers, "I think someone already saw them. I just remember as I was flying over the woods some was spying on them. I didn't get a good look at him, but I pick up a bad vib from whoever I saw."
"You don't think it's one of the Devil's men?" Fluttershy worriedly asks.
"It could be big trouble for Cagney if the Devil tries to take his soul," Twilgiht says.
"But we fought the Devil and broke our and everyone's debt from him," Mugman says.
The Rainbow says, "Well I don't think he cares. I wouldn't be surprised that he might try to go after your souls anyway."
"Good point," Cuphead replies.
Then Sunset says, "Guys, this is bad. If one of the Devil henchmen is planning on taking Cagney's soul, Cagney will do what
it takes to fight back."
Rarity gasp in horror, "Wallflower will be endanger! We gotta stop this!"
"Then let's go!" Applejack says.
With that, the girls, the cup brothers, and Hilda make their way to the back of the school to get to the garden. They know that a plant and an innocent girl will be endanger.
Back at the garden, Cagney and Wallflower are actually getting along. They both water the plants, take out any weeds, and give them some sunshine. Soon the two have finish with what is need for the garden and are rest against a tree having a snack.
"It sure is nice out here," Wallflower says.
"Yeah. The sun is shining so bright, I can feel them in my roots," Cagney says.
Wallflower giggles a little.
Then something has her curious, "Cagney, are you sure you aren't able to remember how you got here?"
"I'm afraid I don't know. I was sleeping next to my garden, and I woke up to find myself here," Cagney answers.
Wallflower begins to think in her thoughts, "That is strange. Cagney was from this Inkwell Isle and now he's in Canterlot City… Wait Cagney Carnation…"
Then she shows a surprised expression on her face, "Isn't Cagney the name of the flower from the Cuphead game, and the has the exact description. Could… Could magic be the reason why a video game character is in the garden?"
She comes back to reality when Cagney asks, "Hey kid, you feeling alright?"
"I'm alright. I just thought of something, but it seems less strange in my head," Wallflower answers.
"Okay?" Cagney replies with a confused look on her face.
Then Wallflower asks, "What should we do now?"
"Well I guess I could have something to eat," Cagney replies.
Wallflower then hears her stomach growling. Then she giggles while her cheeks are blush.
Wallflower gets up, and says, "I guess we could get something to eat."
"Sounds good," Cagney replies with a smile.
Suddenly, the two begin to hear rustling in the bushes close by. Wallflower and Cagney look to see the bushes shaking.
"Um hello, is something there?" Wallflower asks nervously.
Suddenly a man's voice appears, and it's someone that Cagney knows, "Hello Cagney. It's been a while, hasn't it?"
Realizing who it is, Cagney wraps his leaves around Wallflower and pulls her close to him. This is one person he doesn't want Wallflower to be involved with.
Out of the bushes is a man with a dice for a head. He is wearing as purple suit jacket, dark purple pants, purple shoes, a dark purple vest, and a tie. This is someone that Cagney never think he will see again… King Dice
With a stern expression, Cagny says, "Well, well, if it isn't the Devil's little lackey."
"Nice to see that you haven't changed a bit," King Dice answers walking towards them.
"Let me guess, you came here to collect my soul," Cagney interrogates.
"Of course, can't let you debtors live a happy life knowing you got off the hook," King Dice replies.
"The boys burned our contracts, Dice. I'm free from his debt," Cagney angrily says.
"So you think, but let me tell you something you overgrown weed… The Devil isn't a fair man, and neither am I," King Dice says with an evil grin on his face.
Cagney grits his teeth in anger. Then he noticed the scared look on Wallflower's face.
He glares at King Dice, "Listen, I'm going to tell you this one time: Get out and never come back, or else."
"Or else what? I'm surprised you're making threats and not lashing out by now," King Dice say.
Then he turns his attention towards Wallflower, "Is it because you don't want your new friend to see your aggressive side."
"Leave her alone, Dice. She has nothing to do with this," Cagney demands.
"True. But… I'm sure the Devil will like another soul in his collection," King Dice remarks.
"You really think that I'm just going to let you take our souls without a fight," Cagney says.
King Dice evilly chuckles, and says, "Of course not, which is why I have a few new tricks up my sleeve."
Cagney and Wallflower become confused about King Dice's statement.
Suddenly, King Dice throws a chain that has a pattern: red heart, black spade, red diamond, and black club. The chain then lasso Wallflower on the waist pinning her arms, and drags her away.
Cagney screams, "Wallflower!"
Wallflower spins around toward King Dice, and he catches her in his arm.
"Wallflower, eh. That sounds like a sweet name for flower lover," King Dice remarks.
"Let her go Dice! You're problem is with me!" Cagney demands.
"True. If you want her, then you're going to have to get her back yourself," King Dice says with a grin.
The makes Cagney really mad. Mad enough to bring out his other form.
Gritting his teeth, Cangey says, "Looks like… I don't have a choice."
His eyes turn yellow and his stem enlarge as he puts his leaves to the ground. His teeth become sharp and his petals become pointy sharp. Soon Cagney has change to his other form and glaring at King Dice.
King Dice grins, and says, "So be it."
King Dice then creates another chain that pins Wallflower to one of the trees in the garden. Wallflower struggles to break free, but the chains are too tight. She look ahead to see Cagney has become a different flower and is going to fight King Dice.
Wallflower screams, "HELP!"
Meanwhile, Sunset, the girls, and young boys reach the back of the school to reach Wallflower and Cagney.
Suddenly, they hear someone crying out, "HELP!"
"What was that?" Mugman asks.
"Someone scream just now," Pinkie answers.
Sunset gaps, "That must have been Wallflower!"
"She must be in trouble! Hurry!" Twilight panics.
Soon the group runs into the forest to find Wallflower and Cagney. Unaware that Cagney is going to have a battle with King Dice. Sunset and the others hope the can reach Cagney in time.
