Author's Notes: Nothing new.


Chapter 7

Next Day...

Don is seen looking over his shotgun as it wasn't in his usual spot when he went to get it today. He checked its ammunition and despite the bad feeling he got, everything seemed in order and he shrugged it off and holstered it on his back and got ready to do his show.

Little did he know that things would quickly fall apart for him.

When his show finally started, everything was going like it usually did, Suzie would attack, he would defend the skunk and badger but when he decided to use his shotgun this time...he was thrown onto his back from the force of the recoil and Suzie was blown in half. He slowly got up, dazed from the recoil before his eyes widen upon seeing Suzie blown in half, her internal gears and parts scattered across the floor. Her bronze eyes flicker before they turn grey in color and her heads goes limp, falling to the side.

Don gets up slowly before he looks at the lingering smoke on his shotgun and quickly tosses it to the ground in shock. He then looks out towards the audience and no families are in the restaurant anymore and he holds his head in shock.

"What did you do?!" yelled Billy in anger grabbing Don by his collar.

"I...I...I don't...I didn't..." stammered Don in shock, too stunned to say anything before Billy throws him to the ground and storms off, Sammy waits for a second before leaving as well, leaving Don alone.

The restaurant is quickly closed down and Don is thrown into storage until the owners figure out what happened and Suzie's pieces are collected but thrown into a garbage bin in one of the back rooms. For nearly six weeks, Don is left in the storage room, his mind going over what happened that day for those six weeks before it dawned on him. He pulled out one of the smoke shells he always carried with him before walking over to the shotgun that had been discarded with him and removed one of the shells and looked them over.

The shells looked identical in every way until he looked at the "S"s marking them. The Smoke shell had a perfectly drawn "S" on it while the other had a crudely carved in "S" and his eyes narrowed before he stood up angrily.

"Some bloody wanker framed me!" snarled Don before he began sparking wildly, one of his eyes turning yellow as he sparks and he slowly turns around to see a shadowy figure with yellow eyes holding onto his shoulders from behind.

"I did..." said the figure smiling, revealing razor sharp teeth.

"Get out of me mind!" yelled Don trying to grab the figure with his arms only for his hands to pass through the figure harmlessly.

"You can't..."

Don shuts down and hits the ground with a thud, the figure now gone.


Meanwhile...

The Marionette is seen playing with a large black dragon with blue lightning arcing off it, the dragon appearing to actually be alive. The Marionette is throwing a small bone for the dragon and it fetches it and brings it back and the Marionette gently takes it before he turns around and the dragon growls sensing danger before the Marionette causes the dragon to disappear in a distortion of reality as Don slowly walks into view.

"Remember me?" said Don in a voice not his own and the Marionette brings out his claws only to get his mask knocked clean off his face in a second by a flying kick and the Marionette stumbles back, holding his face before he removes his hand and half his face is hidden by shadows of the room but both his eyes are visible and they glow brightly in anger before he disappears and reappears above Don and brings a foot down on the wolf only to miss and put a decent-sized crack in the floor before getting punched in the stomach, causing him to cough up blood and saliva.

The Marionette stumbles back before he shakes his head clear only to receive a haymaker to the face sending him flying back into a wall, breaking through it and staying half buried in the wall. Don walks up to him and grabs him by the neck and points his shotgun at his face before the Marionette's eyes shoot open and his claws arc with green electricity before he puts them into Don and yanks the figure out of him.

"What the-?!" yelled the figure in anger and shock as he glared at the Marionette before its eyes glow even brighter and the two disappear, leaving a deactivated Don standing there.


The figure hits solid ground and grunts in pain before he finds the Marionette's claws wrapped around his throat and lifting him off the ground.

"You interrupted the game me and my friend were playing...I'm going to make you suffer..." said the Marionette before his left eye changed into a red eye with yellow swirls in it and throws the figure to the ground and points to a sign in the distance. The figure looks around and notices that they're in a hellish world but he also sees two dragons in the distance, one is a dark purple with demonic yellow eyes and an amused smile on his lips as he watches from a perch on a rocky cliff. The other one is the big black dragon with blue lightning arcing off it and glowing blue eyes that also seem to arc with the blue electricity.

"Make it to that sign before I catch you, you're free to go...fail...you don't want to know..." said the Marionette before he placed a record player in front of the figure, "You have until this song ends..."

The Marionette disappears as the record begins playing...

Oh don't worry...things are only going to get worse.

Also, I'm still revealing more on my OC that becomes the Marionette in my universe. Read my other stories to get more info too, they're always connected in some way or another...unless they're not connected, some aren't. Also...don't think Don's free because the figure was removed from him...or was he removed?

(1)Not the song played by the record, the listed song is background music. I do NOT own that song.
