Epilogue: The Show Must Go On!
All it took was a few improvisation; Head Case had Timmy pick up from the bottom of the lake the now deactivated head of their serpent puppet later that afternoon, while Applejack had her friends Rainbow Dash, Pinkie and Rarity help Trixie with her show by bringing in as many audience as they can.
The sun sets, and soon night came; the four ponies' effort to reel in Trixie an willing crowd worked and the open field where Case does his bigger experiments (for the time being, Trixie's theater) was almost a full house. In front of them is the puppet theater the Innovation Crew made; it was nearly as colossal as t

Chapter 4: My Mare Maiden
At first, everypony was clapping with their hooves and cheered as the wooden monster began tomove, but when Trixie let go and the puppet started to snap and claw its way towards them, they all realize that this may not be a part of the show anymore.
Trixie stumbled down as the creature's tail nearly fell on top of her, which then proceeds to wreck the huge wagon Fightbot used to carry it here. The frightened mare galloped back to the crew as they try to subdue it. Dashing through the crowd with a lasso, Applejack joined in and snared the creature by the neck while Fightbot managed to topple the wooden serpent down.

Chapter 3: A Preview of Upcoming Destruction
Back in the open fields after breakfast, the crew and their guest finished up the remaining bits of their mechanical wonder; Case mustered an extra effort to do all pieces that nearly drained him again, but thankfully, FightBot let out a helping hand, working quite efficiently seeing his machinated, self-learning brain easily picked up his friend's blueprints.
After one last product check, with Crash testing out all the clockwork characters and sees if any of them will try to take him apart (Thank Celestia none did), crew finished.
"And it's only a quarter to Ten!" cries out Case, "very impressi

Chapter 2: Steam and Gears
After setting up their work tent, Head Case sent out his brother to gather two of their remaining crew members back from Ponyville, while Zip and Trixie discusses their plans for the show.
It appears Trixie will be focusing on one specific tale; the story of Barnlladin and the Sea Sinker, where a young pony thief with a golden heart sets out on an adventure to save a kidnapped maiden from a treasure hoarding sea serpent. Case later joined the three in designing their stage, filling it with as many gears, steam machine and clock work puppets they can pull out of their resources. Though Trixie agreed to pay them for

A Head Case Adventures Presents: The Great and Powerful Puppeteer.
Chapter 1. A Humble Return.
After almost an hour of them figuring out what to do with a bag full of smoke, Head Case finally got rid of it by teleporting the bag away into the only place nopony would mind: in a sleeping dragon's cave. (Or rather Spike's room in Canterlot) The magic took toll on Case as he exhausted almost every ounce of energy he had by the time he finished, just enough to at least ask his brother to fetch him a bottle of milk. Crash knew where to look; two cold ones were always delivered to them every morning! He simply dashed to the front door, picked one

The Great and Powerful Puppeteer: A Cold Open
It started out like any ordinary day in Ponyville; the sun was shining, the birds were singing, a wall-eyed grey Pegasus just made her morning rounds on delivering everypony's mail. It was a fine day.
Until we see a cloud of cheese-smelling smoke forming around the border between our humble little town and the dangerous, beasts-filled Evergreen forest.
But it wasn't one of said beasts who made this cloud, nor was it any kind of magical phenomenon; rather, the culprit is just somepony making breakfast for his roommates.
Someplace a bit away from Ponyville, just before crossing into the dark enchanted forest, lies a hollowed-out tree stump t
