Please let me take the OLIX Formula." >"That's much better." >The pony and her five other friends give me what I need and I start heading out immediately >The pink one asks if they can tag along >No they fucking can't, it's dangerous "No. You'll get hurt." >The blue pony with a scratchy-ass voice starts going on about how tough she is >Why am I even here >Why are they even here >I leave and they follow anyway >Not my fault if they die >The purple pony gives instructions on how to defeat Metal Gear >She's actually useful, maybe I'll keep her around >"The new Metal Gear has weaker armor in its legs compared to other areas, and it's also susceptible to explosive damage," she says >Annoying blue pony says "Nice research, egghead."

By using the magic of friendship, I can plunge the entire world into eternal war." "That's the dumbest plan I've ever heard." >The purple pony shouts, "You can't use our friendship like that! Girls!" >The ponies proceed to gang up and attack Big Boss while I watch from the sidelines >Mission accomplished >I guess >I'll just retire and go to Alaska >With these ponies >mfw
