|~Hello Puppets~| [The Final Show]

|~Chapter 5: Welcome To The Show~|

Marcus and Paige finally came out of the Alleyway.
There, they saw an old warehouse and an old decayed sign of that old Puppet Show and noted how bare the area looked to be around here.
But Paige took the lead with Markus following behind her.
Once they were at the door, Paige used the crowbar to open the door and they went inside with their weapons ready.

Entering the building, walling down the hall they were creeped out or disturbed with how this looked like a creepy old movie threate.
There was a red carpet, old lights and they guessed it use to be a movie threate before becoming a studio for that Puppet Show.

Turning the corner again, they saw on he wall pictures and writing about the old show and characters.
Small details about the show and 4 amin stars from what it looked like.
Mortimer, Riley, Nick Nack and Daisy.
Marcus shuddered, he hated puppets because of how creepy they were with their lifeless eyes.
"Wait look."
Ahead of them, looked to be some kind of Puppet Booth and where the red carpet ended so they slowly approached it with caution once noticing a figure there in the dark.
Only to jump the the lights flickered on and there was the Puppet that was named Mortimer.
Someone was operating him and it was very lifelike, though Marcus now hid behind Paige.
"Well hello old bean!
What brings you here to this strange, little scene."
"Now; I can tell you're star-struck, but of course you should be!
Because I. . . Am Mortimer Handee; Star of Mortimer's Handeemen!"
"A smash hit TV show, I can tell you both are a fan so wouldn't you know, Today is both your lucky day!"
"We're looking for a new member, because I'm giving you both your very own Handeemen Puppet!"
As he said that, hand puppets raised from the strange stand in front of the both.
There was one Puppet missing though, and they looked a little familiar but different like the Puppet that Paige saw in the hospital.
But, maybe if they play along they get answers out of this guy playing this old Puppet.
So Paige picked the one with yellow fabric, green eyes and orange hair with buns.
Marcus picked the one with green hair, blue eyes and darker fabric as it's skin.
"You know. . ."
They looked up at Mortimer.
"There's a reason the Handeemen Puppets are so life like and true.
When you wear them. . . they come to life. . . Really. . ."
Then the lights turned off making them scream, dropping their weapons as the person who they thought was control the Puppet was wearing a bag on heir head and slumped over with a Thud!
Then the Puppet began to chat this weird. . . Unknown language.
But something was happening as their puppets were gone and their stuff, their bags, weapons and they were in a completely different room and in darkness as they travelled towards the light.

"Host. . .!"
"Host. . .!"
"Wake up. . .!"
They suddenly opened their eyes, everything was bluring and hazy, they could sense their chest raising up and down, they couldn't breath through their mouth still but they weren't in the warehouse.
Where are they. . .?
