Chapter Fifty-Six: Epilogue

.

The brothers went off on assignment and were away for twelve days. The puppets had worried they'd been abandoned again when the due date for their return had passed, Torch especially, but once they saw the car lights coming down the driveway he was the first one to race down the stairs and jump up to greet his master. Blade was the second one to fly past and nearly crashed into the brother.

The whole time they were away the puppets helped the cleaning crew with the lounge room and the removal of the totems, storing most of them in tanks and the others were fed to the raptors and rexes.

Six Shooter had recovered from his exorcism rest and had even apologized to Torch for his behavior. Torch was still wary of him but Six didn't smell like his old self. Blade had tried teaching Jester how to tap into his core but so far nothing was working.

Jester never minded it, saying maybe he was more like the kid in the magical aspect than he was with the brother.

But now that they've returned, with goodies no less, the puppets felt that maybe they would finally find the peace they've been looking for.

Next Time . . . .

"You have mastered well, the secrets of the ancients, and my powers here are spent, but for one, behold!"

A portal opens up.

The portal suddenly starts sparking electricity and grows into a bigger powerful portal, vacuums in on itself and then the horn of a car could be heard before suddenly a black toy car zooms out. Sutekh was too late to dodge it, but Blade managed to jump off to the side in time, narrowly missing the car as it crashed to a stop into the couch.

The car is big enough for the puppets to properly drive in. Decapitron and Jester both approach it, but stop when it hisses and emits a white dense fog from its exhaust pipes.

The driver's door opens and out steps . . .

"What the fuck?!" Blade shouted, staring in disbelief at his dopple-ganger.
