You in Equestria: Let's Save a Kingdom

Well, that was exhausting. Who knew saving the world would be such hard work? At least you can check another pony off of your list, whether you saved them or not.

You head back to town square, attempting to find your bearings in Discord's world of chaos. It isn't easy, but you manage to get back to the fountain in the center of town.

Now, who's next...

>Applejack
>Rainbow Dash
>Fluttershy
>Rarity
>Pinkie Pie
>I'm done! It's time to gather the troops and kick Discord's ass!

If you haven't noticed it yet, you see a shoddily constructed time-machine sitting just a small distance from the fountain. Seriously, it's, like, all plywood and duct tape. It's no Tardis, that's for sure.

If you've screwed up trying to help one of the ponies, you could use the time machine to get another try. Unfortunately, it seems that, on closer examination, the time machine requires small kittens as fuel, one per usage. Yes, there's a large vat of meowing kittens sitting conveniently a few feet away. But are you willing to sacrifice poor, defenseless kittens to save Equestria?

I don't need to murder kittens.
I have the back button.

[Meliron]

Murder kittens? All the more reason to go try again!

[defenastrator]

769922 back button screw that I take the quantum root of cloned tabs.

[RarityFigma]

Darn of all the rotten luck, having to kill something cute to save something cute

[Genericname256]

Couldn't I travel to the future where I saved the elements of harmony? Oh that's the last option.

[FacelessPanda]

i killed two of the kittens!!

[Written Word]

*Just got his ass kicked by Rarity*

...Screw it.
Sorry, kittens.

lol, you and me both. Kittens are EVIL!

[Herr Brony III]

I sort of... blew up Rarity's house and decapitated Carrot Top. *sigh* Time for kitten murder.

[Glassed]

Oh god... Moral choices? Dammit Ratherhomely, you clever bastard!

When it talked about the time machine, then the kittens, the first thing in my mind was
"Cat! Aim for the cat Evil Bill!"
"I'm trying Evil Ted, I'm trying!"

[Garino]

Success Rate: 2/5 rescued on first try (Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie)
Kittens sacrificed to redo attempts: 3
Success Rate: 3/3 rescued on second try (Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie don't count in second try)
Thus explains why my three cats, Scooter, Shishoni, and KC, are now dead. RIP, my kitties, your deaths were not in vain.

[Paladin Redflare]

First AJ.... now kittens?! Hell no! Moving forward to Rarity Sweetums.

[ForlanceAbice]

I am afraid I don't have kittens. But I do have cute adorable puppies!

[Cryssy-miu]

I killed every kitten.

[Super_Big_Mac]

I have a kitten. I would gladly murder her if it means pony.

Puppy's aren't quite as high in adorableness level as kittens. You'll have to use TWO per time travel.

That wasn't very smart! Now how are you going to travel back in time?

[RedvsBlue327]

I hate kittens, alergic to the fuckers, and they're always watching me fap >:( This'll be fun.

[Angelson1992]

Whooo, managed to save both Rarity and Applejack and I still haven't killed any kittens.

Edit: I got kicked out twice and I think I killed Rainbow. 1 kitten.

Edit2: Rainbow kicked my butt and I ran screaming from Fluttershy...not even going to ask. Second kitten please. On the bright side, I got Pinkie.

Edit3: I accidentally killed Fluttershy and am now going to hell. But I got Rainbow so........worth it? Kitten number three, come on down.

Edit4: I blinded her once so minus one kitten. Plus side, I got fluttershy.

769922This user has found a loophole to your evil machine, and I'm taking advantage of it Paragon points preserved

[CPA870]

I'm gonna be the asshole here and say if you go back in time after killing the kitten, that just means you go back before you kill rendering it alive, so technically you kill none.

Bask in my assholism, BASK IN IT.

[Nyan_Cat]

Apparently, I ran away from Fluttershy...
And forgot my soup...
KILL TEH KITTEZ
( Sorry. )
EDIT: I helped make Fluttershy's eels nicer, I suppose. Down with the next kitty. EDIT: Now I set Fluttershy on fire. I'm failing today. Goodbye, 3rd kitty.
EDIT: I've probably killed half of the kittens in there, stupid Rarity and Fluttershy.

[creeperbro]

UGH. I killed Fluttershy and got pwnt by the rest. -_-

[creeperbro]

Okey then I bucked up my chances. I wish I actually shot Twilight in the head in the first place.

[suckmyponycock69]

Nah, fuck back button and fuck TARDIS-ripoffs. TIMETABLES ONLINE.
*scratches, warps*

[Tempname10732]

Only took me ten kittens to get the the necklaces on them all.

Nexuses, though useful, can become aggravating.

Time to save Rares from Tom. Though I like Tom.
