Forward again, and again, and again.

by Zaravan
In which an army of poorly trained, poorly lead, underfed, rabble of clones weather one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after another.

The Inter-dimensional Army of Freedom, or the 'IAF' for short, is an army of clones with little to no formal training, a complete lack of an organizational structure, reliant on local terrain for food and shelter, and with little to no ammunition and mass produced guns that couldn't hit the mountain you'd aim it at. Even so, with the use of a rather strange devise, and endless waves of bodies to throw at their enemies. And not to mention a complete disregard for their own well-beings. A rather large group are deposited in the middle of the Everfree Forest, filled to the brim with murderous fauna and flora. And no less, their arrival is timed with Equestria on the verge of a two front war with the Changelings, and a Coalition of numerous species who think Equestria has had it too good for too long. Told through a series of journal entries.
