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 and as normal when the puppets speak it will be in italics.
Also thank you Cryptic for letting me use Jinkx in this story.
A few days had passed before Richard and Matthew had come to a decision on what they planned to do.
Matthew was in the attic examining his own puppets, though he'd not really made them himself as most parts came from different dolls or puppets he had brought.
He nodded picking one of them up.
"You sure it should be this one?" Richard questioned.
Matthew nodded.
"I'm sure, this one knows what happens when it disobeys me."
Richard nodded.
"Ok. I'll work my magic so she won't do anything stupid."

Jinkx looked over from where she was reading and saw Archer practically asleep on one of the pillows.
She'd attempted to see if she could help Archer regain her memories by playing some old songs Archer would listen to when she was human.
During that time she noticed Archer would bop her head a little but didn't show any indication of remembering.
Most of the other puppets were upstairs resting under her orders.
She really needed Elizabeth to find a way of making a new elixir before they ran out
She really didn't want to use brain matter and knew Elizabeth felt the same.
After all there was no reason for them to go killing anymore.
She sighed getting to her feet, leaning on her cane for support.
"Come on Archer, everyone else is asleep." She said picking her up.
For once Archer didn't stir from her sleep.
Those night terrors were really draining what energy she had left.
Jinkx eventually decided it was best to keep Archer in her room for the night, mostly so she could keep an eye on her.
There was an audible groan when she turned the light on.
She glanced over at Jester who had made himself comfortable on her bed.
He rubbed his eyes not appreciating being woken up.
Jinkx carefully placed Archer down on a small pillow.
"She's exhausted. Didn't even flinch when I picked her up." She explained seeing Jester look over.
She gently pulled a blanket over Jester.
"Back to sleep for you."
He hardly objected but still stayed close to her.
He didn't used to be like this but Jinkx was sure it was just his way of trying to cope with the stress of what was going on.
As Jester rested by his master he let his tiered mind wander.
He had so much spinning through his mind.
First was the guilt of feeling it was his fault that Blade had gotten hurt, if he had done more to convince him not to listen to Mephisto he probably wouldn't have been almost killed.
Decapitron could sense his soul so at least they knew Blade was still in there.
Jester was thankful Decapitron had taken charge.
It meant he had one less thing to worry about.
He still worried about his friends, mostly Archer.
She was particularly close to Blade, he'd taken the role of her mentor.
As sad as it was to say and think she really was lost without him.
He felt lucky they had such a kind master like Jinkx and such a loyal ally with Elizabeth.
He prayed to whatever good Deity's there were that things would be ok.
Jinkx turned off the light and headed out of the room carefully closing it before opening a nearby draw and pulling out a hand gun.
"She needs to learn how to use this." She said closing the draw and heading upstairs.
When Jinkx arrived at the door of the room Elizabeth was staying in she opened the door quietly and walked over looking at Liz scan over the papers before slamming the hand gun down on the table hard enough to get her attention.
"You are going to need to learn how to use this Liz if you are to protect yourself." Jinkx stated folding her arms.
She noticed Khan edging himself away from the window when he noticed it was pointed directly at him.
Even Wildcard and Leech Woman looked on edge.
"They have a right to be unnerved. Asides from Six Shooter's guns and Decapitron's turret head usually when people and guns are involved it isn't a good thing for them." Elizabeth said but picked up the gun to examine it.
"But I know you're right. With so many of them relying on short ranged attacks I need to not only protect myself but them as well. Puppet Master or not they're still mine to protect, it's the least I can do for them." She said.
Jinkx walked over to Khan and looked at him drawing her own gun and held it an angle so he could inspect it.
"I know how to handle a weapon and how to handle it in a safe manner." she says in a calm manner.
"I learned how to shoot a gun from some of the best shooters in the west back in the 1890's" twirling the gun and putting it back in its holster.
"Bet Six would be jealous." Elizabeth chuckled.
"No Elizabeth, that won't make Six jealous." Jinkx said and walked over to a wall and put her hand on a panel for it to open showing a large collection of vintage guns.
"This will, its my collection of guns that were used in the wild west era."
"This place is full of surprises." Elizabeth said.
It was clear the puppets were wary of Elizabeth handling a gun but they had little say in the matter.
"Let's just hope she doesn't have to use it." Khan spoke.
I also own Matthew Gallagher and Richard Kraus.
