We all know the story, human from earth goes to Equestria from buying a mystical prop from a mysterious unnamed salesman to attend Comicon. But what you didn't expect was the prop to be a box of mask making materials and a puppeteer kit. Now with supplies to make more costumes and the super villain name of the 'Puppet Master'. You have to wonder, Just what lessons am I going to teach these Equestrians through my villainous ways.

I like where this is going, continue
will this involve puppets wrapping their strings around dicks and cutting them off in a saw-esque montage?
because if it does i will cum bukkets
Little do they realize who the salesman has been the whole time...
Rusty Shackleford, Old God of Pocket sand and Cat-like Reflexes!
4166169 -looks at this, then at the rating of the fic, then back at this.- Uhhhh.....
For sake of ratings, something like that won't occur, but mind buckery is destined to happen in the future if that is a reasonable substitute. 
4166286 Pocket sand, long live the true god.
4165791 Continue it will.
4166301 this is my fetish
4166305
You're sick, you know that?
4166308 of course i do, i am me after all
4166312 He's right, you are a sick fuck
4166315 who isnt
4166318
...
Sad, but true.
4166169 what the fuck man?
endless potential!
also, let us sing a song i think we all know and think of when reading this
1...2 ...1 2 3 4!
I'm not a fan of puppeteers but I've a nagging fear
someone else is pulling at the strings
Something terrible is going down through the entire town
wreaking anarchy and all it brings
I can't sit idly, no, I can't move at all
I curse the name, the one behind it all...
Hey, an original LoHAV fic. Nice.
hmmm, Discord or family relation?
Discord
I like the originality of the idea for this story
this one could go so may ways and places
4166581 deal with it m80
I like the direction this fic is going in.
Are you only going to use the "villians" you mentioned or are there going to be others as well?
If you're using others, may I suggest Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts?
He would be a good top level puppet in the likely inevitable clash with Celestia and/or the main 6.
I wonder how he'd react if he met Jack from my own villain fic.
If there ever was a villainous villain, it'd be Jack of blades, and best of all, he has his own mask...actually he has three.
Great Chapter!!
Can't wait for MOAR
4172335 So you wish it, so it shall appear, now excuse me while I get some sleep.
4171741 A hint is with the cover Art, take a gander at how the props inside the box are positioned. While Xenmas may or may not be used (probably some point after Princess Twi becomes a thing in it. and we have all of them going after our puppet master's face at the same time), other villains not seen in the cover can make an appearance, assuming they fall within the category of being a tragic villain (The non-tragic slot is taken by a very special evil individual I have in mind).
4166587 Dissscorrrdddddddd!
two Updates in one day!!!!
Both over 3000 words and one came One hour after i asked for MOAR!!?!?!?

NOW YOU DO
Great story by the way
keep it up
Awesome story.
Are you accepting suggestions for villains for the Puppet Master to use? If you are i would like to suggest Clockwork from Sly Cooper.
Will any of the MLP we know and love become allies with the Puppet Master?
That is one ridiculously horrible coverart.
Hmm tragic villains...there are many in video games and a rare few in shows I believe, the one tragic villain I hold respect for is Mr. Freeze, will he appear latter on in this story?
4174721 Mr.Freeze is one of my favorites as well. Though I'll have to make our puppeteer wait until the timing is right.
Is that the Masked Man from Rune Factory Tides of Destiny on the cover?
4166169 This is the kind of situation that warrants a

FOR PUTTING THAT IMAGE IN MY HEAD!
Not gunna lie, I'm loving this!! I'm always a fan of these types of villain stories! Can't wait to see where this is going. Better yet, I want to see just what kind of villains this guy will pull out...I'm hoping for Revan from Knights of the Old Republic Star Wars games...power and excellent skills/background. Plus, let's face it, this guy makes the Changelings look like a cakewalk! Great work and looking forward to more!
Darn, I thought the princess kidnapper would be ice king
I don't like that you used anthros, but I'll get over it. The story so far is awesome. Keep it up
...Needs an editor. That's all I can say so far...That's all I want to say, as there don't seem to be any plot holes.
I am enjoying the story so far. Hope to see more

So there is chance for Aku, The Ice King, Jaffar, Nox, Sauron on knight mode, Mr. Freeze and Maleficent.
While it is shown that most of the villains are not that strong whitout their resources; Bowser whitout a fleet & army, nox without his workshop & absorbed energy, and the most overkill would be rather blantant targets for rainbow orbital strikes, say Aku; i think the strongest power he has would be the puppets.
I mean, he only had a blank one, but it worked well enough; just look the puppeteer villains: Sasori (Naruto) had a small army of simple, floating puppets to make a flying zerg-rush, Peyote Diaz (Shaman King) carried under his coat possessed calaveras, giving him a 360° defence, hell, even in One Piece, a character moved around a puppet dragon the size of a trailer.
Then again, he has to teach them to actually deal with their problems. (While not getting turned to stone)
Praise Aku
Will the mane six and other ponies learn the stories behind all the villains he uses?
Nicely done so far. I do wonder that myself, how do ponies run normally electronic devices?
There's no such thing as 'neon white'
4233174
that is a neon light, and it is white but it is not neon white
but I'll let this slide
4233031 There is no such thing as "no such thing"
4233031 Magic
4234596
Damn it why didn't I think of that!
4233273
If there is no such thing as 'no such thing' which is a double negative by the way. But the way you mean it means that there could be magic sparkle dragons in my butt.
Are you going to use Tobi, from Naruto? His mask is pretty simple but his powers are massively useful. Your own personal pocket dimension, teleportation to anywhere, effective intangibility, some Uchiha clan techniques, the Sharingan, enhanced strength & speed and he's also a tragic villain. (At least according to Tv Tropes.)
4238824 4172835 4171741
Later on as our puppet master gains more time to work he will eventually create props of tragic villains with wigs and other extremely hard characteristics to mimic within a prop.
There is a particular hardship on choosing villains who use a lot of hair on their charecter design in this case, Ever tried to make a wig from scratch to perfectly match your villain or hero for a cosplay? Yeah, while foam might do for a quick solution, the resulting quality will end up with something sub part from the best of costumes. And before you ask, no, he can't just go about dying his hair and doing it up in front of a mirror, that wouldn't work during a combat situation where he needs to swap to say, Xenmas because his Tobi mask broke and he did his hairdo up as Tobi before heading out.
There's also a consideration to what lessons each villain has for a member of this universe. While Xenmas may be looking for regaining his heart (something heartless steal with hilarious ease in retrospect).The closest pony who would have anything to learn from him, is Cadence probably. Which means we need to get to Canterlot wedding grounds before we can even attempt to use that. As of note: Any villains that you encounter in this fic will probably have a story element to teach someone a lesson later. Yes, Even Bowser will have a lesson to teach someone.
not bad, waiting for more
I love. I love it. I LOVE IT!!!!

Dude, that face gives me the willies.
After Aku is put to rest, what would be the best order for the 'villians'?
I'm thinking Ice King, Jaffar, then overlord.
But it doesn't matter! any order would work!
I'm personally hoping for Ganon.
Or Fierce Deity Link. Evil of course.
