Because we didn't get to do it last chapter, here it is:
Next time on Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship, Dan and the gang make a triumphant return home.
"I'd like to remind you all that I hate all of you. I really, really do hate you all, all of you... but not all the time."
Well, almost triumphant.
"Every time we leave, something goes horribly, horribly wrong. What broke this time?"
"Dan, we have a problem!"
"You see? YOU SEE?! I told you, Twilight!"
"Can we go back to the war, please? I feel like that would be less stressful."
The war against the zebras may be over, but the fight against Vice Grip continues.
"What's wrong, Mayor?"
"Apple Bloom and her friends- they've gone missing!"
"Oh, wonderful. No one thought to put a bell on them? WHO WAS WATCHING THEM?!"
"Dan, they're going after Vice Grip- on their own!!"
"Well, I mean, if they're gonna-HEY, WAIT! THAT'S MY JOB!"
And the problems only get deeper...
"We've discovered Vice Grip's supply network... underground."
"He's been building all these crazy machines right under our noses the whole time!"
"The Gear Factory... we've finally found it."
But they find they're only scratching the surface of the problem...
"Vice Grip continues to build his army underground. A preemptive strike has a zero-point-zero-zero-zero-zero five percent chance of success."
"I heard chance of success! We're doing this!"
"And how exactly are we going to get to the factory?"
"We dig!"
Deeper conflicts...
"I don't care who she's related to, I'm going to kill her!"
"She's just a child."
"Age-magic her to 18 and I'll kill her as an adult!"
Deeper emotions...
"Blah blah blah daddy issues blah blah blah!"
And Dan buys a sword...
"I'd like to buy a sword with a gun in it."
"We have concerns..."
"And the gun in the sword shoots... smaller swords."
"Not deep concerns..."
"And the smaller swords explode."
"But concerns."
"...into smaller swords."
Episode 16- Journey to the Center of Douchebagcentral- Dan Vs. The Magic Gear Factory! Dan goes GEARS-deep next time on Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship!
"Can I see your sword, Dan?"
"Only if you show me your axe."
