[size=0.75em]This story isn't a direct sequel, but it is slightly coming from A Work Horse's Beating Heart and A Work Horse's Bleeding Heart. But those only explain the relations between Macintosh and Ditzy and are shipfics, not war genres.[/size]

Big Macintosh has been recruited, by Princess Celestia herself, into her new army that will be used to combat the rebellion that has risen in Fillydelphia. How will Macintosh swallow he has to kill other ponies? How will he adjust to this new, violent environment? And most importantly, how will Macintosh survive this war?
