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 and Irya in this story.


Iyra put Lucy in front of a laptop.

"Ok Lucy, I want you to type what happened to you, I'm going be right here, if it gets too much for you, stop and resume when you can." she rubs Lucy's head gently.

"Do you understand any languages that isn't English?"

Lucy shook her head.

She looked over at the different keys confused.

It was soon apparent she couldn't read or write.

"Archer you're good with this kind of stuff, want to help her out?" Jester asked.

"Maybe you should get someone who actually wants to be near people." Six suggested.

"Thanks for volunteering." Jester said giving Six a pat on the back.

"Wasn't talking about me but fine." Six said walking over to Lucy and Iyra.

"Just tell me what happened and I'll write it down for ya ok kiddo?" He said.

Lucy nodded.

"Jester come here could you." Jinkx spoke sitting down on her chair.

Jester hurried over and looked up at her.

She picked up Jester and sits him on the top putting down a pen and paper.

"Are you feeling okay over what happened or do you need to speak to my sister?"

Jester paused.

In all truthfulness he'd been trying not to think about what had happened.

Ok yes it wasn't the first time one of his brothers had been seriously injured or been the first time they didn't know about what was going on with a master.

But it had never happened like this before.

He should be used to stress by now.

But now that he was thinking about it he could hear that voice in the back of his mind.

"You thought Toulon would always be your master, you thought Rick would always be there and he was killed... What makes you think this will last? Why get your hopes up for it to be snatched away?"

He shook his head trying to block out the thoughts.

Jinkx picked him up and held him close.

"It's okay to cry Jester." rubbing back of his head.

He shook his head not wanting to show weakness towards the others.

He knew the others would understand but Torch would probably never stop ridiculing him.

But he knew he wasn't Blade.

He could hide his emotions well under any circumstances.

All this stress was not good for him and it was starting to take its toll on him.

He'd been so drained of energy despite having a boost of elixir lately.

Jinkx stood up and carried Jester to another room and closed the door behind her locking it.

"Don't let pride get in the way Jester." She said holding him close.

It only took a few moments for Jester to finally break down.

By the time they came out Jester was practically passed out from exhaustion.

Jinkx knew they were getting close to their destination.

"We'll be arriving soon so I want you lot back in the trunk." She said.

The puppets didn't protest and made their way to the safety of the trunk.

Of course Leech Woman climbed up next to Decapitron because they had to go in Elizabeth's backpack.

Irya walks over to Jester and picks him up.

"Mind if we have a little chat in private after you have had some rest."

He only gave a tiered nod.

It was a while before he woke up.

He looked around noticing he and Lucy were in the back of a car with Jinkx and Irya.

He looked around confused as to where Elizabeth was.

Was she with them? Was she in a hospital?

"Good you are up now Jester, we couldn't move you so I had Six keep his guns out for now." Jinkx said.

She stood there looking around.

"Six has anyone come to the car since the incident?"

Six shook his head from the car roof.

"Not a soul."

Jester felt his stomach drop.

"What happened?"

"You sure picked a great time to take a nap." Six snapped.

"Just tell me!" Jester snapped back.

"They found us that's what happened!" Six replied jumping onto the boot.

"And that's not the worst part." Tunneler added stepping out from his hiding place.

"Who is missing" Irya spoke trying to take a head count.

Jester looked around and froze.

"No...please..not them." He quietly begging falling to his knees laying eyes on the discarded backpack in the distance.

"We chased after them... but they had a car waiting and lost them." Tunneler explained solemnly.


I also own Matthew Gallagher and Richard Kraus and Lucy
