4 months after the season six finale, the sh*t hit the fan. King Thorax was overthrown and killed, and pony was killed in Yakyakistan. When Prince Rutherford traveled to Canterlot to calm tensions, he was killed. The Yaks declared war, followed by the Changelings, Northern Changelings, the Crystal Empire (on the side of Equestria) and the Arabians. Armies were rasied, lives were lost. This story follows 4 ponies, Cold Steel (myself) Hustler, Hard Cider, and Big Money. We would make friendships, watch them die, learn hard lessons, question our leadership, and be physicallyand emotionally strengthened by the fires of war, but at the same time, have the state of our minds destroyed.
