Soldiering on

by agentporpoise
What happens to a soldier when the bullets run out, the tanks run dry, and the enemy runs away. He soldiers on.

Alloy is a soldier, through and through. But, like his namesake, he has more layers than meets the eye. What happens when these layers mix, when love and war cease to be the separate things we treat them as ? And beyond that, what happens when the fighting stops, and the mistakes you made catch you up?
Note-this story contains modern technology,modern firearms, as well as modern ideas. This story can get a bit bloody and sexual, i have the gore and sex tags because i cant promise where this train ride is gonna take me, but it will be teen rated.
This is the first in a series of stories centering around the same few characters, whose name will be decided at a later date (pm and comment any suggestions) As such, this features several characters that will appear later, and their roles and backstories will be introduced at a later date.

One last thing, despite the coverart, there is no lunar rebellion, i just needed something to convey the idea of a Lunar branch of the Equestrian military.
