A/N: I don't own any Puppet Master characters, they belong to Full Moon Features and Charles Band. I do however own Archer, Elizabeth and Wildcard, Lucy and Mystic and as normal when the puppets speak it will be in italics.
Also thank you Cryptic for letting me use Jinkx and Irya in this story.
Jester had to suppress a laugh after watching.
"Well fuck me sideways and call me Torch, she really can turn into a bat." He said amazed.
"How are you not freaked out?" Archer asked though she didn't seem scared either.
Jester looked at her seriously.
"I have battled a literal demon god with my brother's. There are few things left in this world that surprise me anymore..besides when you spend time with her for a long period of time you kinda figure this stuff out." He explained.
Archer nodded.
"The spending time around her part is certainly true."
"You going reveal yourselves or forever be a coward!" Jinkx demanded firing a shot in the air with no warning making Jester and Archer jump in surprise.
There was a low growl nearby to the car a few moments later, the sound of footsteps cutting through the foliage around the car.
Something was watching them.
"I know that sound." Jester whispered, pure fear in his voice.
Archer gripped her bow tightly.
There was only one other time she had seen such fear in him was when they were being tortured by someone they preferred not to talk about.
"It's just you and me, except I'm not a coward who hides like a little bitch." Jinkx almost growled aiming her gun to where the sound was and firing a single shot.
Archer looked at Jester hearing scurrying footsteps outside the car.
"Care to explain?"
"Let's just say these things replaced the Nazis in our nightmares." Jester replied.
They jumped hearing scratching from underneath the car.
"Fuck this I am *not* being killed by a Totem." Jester said in a panic jumping to the back of the seat desperately looking for anything he could use as a weapon.
He remembered how badly Blade had gotten hurt.. and he had weapons.
Yes Jinkx could defend herself and had a gun, but from previous experience there was never just one Totem.
Hell Six Shooter shot at Sutekh's Totem and hardly made a scratch before he was attacked.
Jinkx growls and without thinking grabs the creature from under her car and holds it in a tight grip.
"Hello little bitch."
The Totem screeches clawing at Jinkx only to receive an arrow in the back from Archer.
It turned to face the two puppets suddenly going quiet.
"What the hell is that thing?" Archer asked, trying to stand tall to show no fear.
"It's a Totem and it's not a good sign." Jester replied.
"Is it dead?" Jinkx asked, staring at the Totem.
Jester shook his head.
"It plays dead."
God he wished he could communicate with her now more than ever.
She gives the Totem a pet.
"Wake up and listen to me." She demanded growling to show dominance over the Totem.
Archer kept an arrow aimed at the Totem in case it tried anything.
Jinkx almost dropped the Totem when it clawed at her wrist.
It practically screamed out a warning.
"It's alerting the others." Jester said alarmed.
"There are others?!" Archer exclaimed.
"There's never more than one." Jester replied.
She grabbed its claw and bent it backwards, snapping it.
"You can cooperate or I put a bullet in your head."
The Totem snarled at her before returning it's attention to Archer and Jester.
Neither had time to react before it reached out, a bolt of energy striking Jester sending him flying backwards and crumpling down on the far side of the car.
Archer immediately shot her arrow at the Totem striking it in the throat before running to Jester hearing him yell out in pain.
Jinkx puts a bullet in the Totem's head for extra measure before ripping its head clean off.
"It won't get up from that." turning her attention to the hotel and aiming her gun at it.
"I'd like to meet the master, not the pawns."
Back in Romania, Irya and Elizabeth were discussing what to do.
"Bodaga Bay..that's the key to this whole thing." Elizabeth said.
"We have to go there. Something's fucking with my family and I'm not taking it sitting down." Elizabeth said standing up.
Nods from the Puppets showed they had the same mindset.
Blade looked at his companions.
"I know we agreed not to go back but I don't think we have a choice right now."
They all nodded.
"Always wanted to go home. Just wish it was under better circumstances." Pinhead said.
"Bold of you to assume we're going back there." Leech Woman said doubting Irya would let them go.
To their surprise Irya nodded.
She quickly ordered the Puppets into the trunk.
Blade was the last one to enter.
He had to make sure the others were safe.
He nodded to Irya before stepping in.
Irya nodded back soon making sure the trunk was secure in the car she would be driving.
Elizabeth sighed looking at Wildcard who was staying with her.
"We'll figure this out and get them back to normal Wildcard. I don't know how but we will."
Irya hugged Elizabeth and Wildcard before starting the car.
Elizabeth hugs back and placed Wildcard by Lucy and Mystic
"We've got a long journey ahead of us so I suggest you three sleep for now."
