Next Chapter.

Deadeye ruthlessly dragged Autumn and Big Mac by their manes until they reached a secluded spot where nopony would see or hear them.

"WHAT THE BUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!?" Deadeye screamed as he grabbed the two stallions by the throat. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU TWO JUST DID!"

"Sir I-" Autumn began to say.

"You shut up! Do you realize you may have just blown our cover?" Deadeye growled tightening his grip on their throats. "No normal pony could have caused damage like that! The whole town probably knows our secret now! Both of you are demoted to private and you are lucky I don't have the two of you jailed and executed for such behavior!"

"SIR!" Autumn and Big Mac said at the same time.

"I don't wanna hear it! Next time I'll just kill both of you myself!" Deadeye said as he slammed them to the ground and walked away. Autumn and Big Mac sat there awkwardly.

"Well this sucks." Autumn said with a nervous chuckle.

"Eeyup." Big Mac said.

"Mac, I'm sorry, I don't know what the hay I was thinking! It's just those voices combined with the lack of sleep just made me snap." Autumn said.

"Ah'm sorry too, ah've been hearin those voice too." Big Mac said.

"So we cool?" Autumn asked as he held out his hoof.

"Eeyup!" Big Mac said hitting his hoof against Autumns. Truth be told, neither really remembered what happened, only that they got into a fight but the details were unknown.

"Rarity's going to be so upset with me." Autumn said grimly. Big Mac agreed the two of them were nervous about facing everypony again but their beepers suddenly went off and they were forced to head to COLTS-01. Back at Ponyville, many ponies were still in shock at what had just happened.

"I can't believe Autumn would act like that!" Rarity said in shock.

"Did you see the look on ma brother's face?" Applejack said. Soon the rest of the mane six arrived.

"What happened?" Twilight asked.

"Big Mac and Autumn tried to kill each other literally!" Applejack said.

"They were just fighting, soldiers fight with each other all the time." Rainbow said.

"No no no no Rainbow you don't understand! The two of them were going for each other's throats!" Rarity cried.

"She's not joking." The ponies all looked to see Skullcrusher getting up. He had a black eye.

"But why would they fight like that? Aren't they friends?" Fluttershy asked.

"Ah wish ah knew." Applejack said. "Ah wish ah knew.". Silent Shadow, Solar Blitz, and Deadeye had received the call to base and were heading over. Deadeye filled the two in on what just happened.

"WHAT?" Blitz said shocked.

"But why would they do that?" Shadow asked.

"I fear we may be losing ourselves." Deadeye said. "The Colonel will explain everything when we get there." The three ponies eventually arrived at COLTS-01 and saw all the other active COLTS were present. There were now seventy five COLTS with the addition of the ones who completed training the other night. They saw Big Mac and Autumn awkwardly standing in a corner.

"Man, what happened?" Blitz asked. Big Mac and Autumn looked down.

"COLTS! Listen up!" Striper yelled. "Von Griffon has made a big mistake, he has been spotted by all our recon ten miles from the western front in a griffon base!"

"Let's get the grif!" A COLT shouted as a large cheering was heard in the crowd.

"Hang on soldier. We need to approach this carefully, if we capture or kill him we can end this war tonight!" Striper said. "We will send COLTS Omega in to take him out! The rest of you will provide assistance on the four fronts to distract the grifs incase they call for reinforcements!"

"Sir yes sir!" The COLTS replied.

"Good, we deploy in two hours!" Striper said.

"Lucky bastard, wish I could get a shot at the grif." Recoil said to Deadeye.

"I'll send him you regards." Deadeye said. "Hey."

"What?" Recoil asked.

"For Earthshock." Deadeye said.

"Foe Earthshock." Recoil responded. Outside the facility, a small creature looked and listened.

"Lord Von Griffon, the COLTS are all at their base in the Everfree Forest." The creature said into a magical talking device.

"Are you sure?" Von Griffon asked.

"Positive, we have two hours." The spy said. Back at the griffon capital, Von Griffon chuckled.

"It is ready Captain Gore." Von Griffon said. "Begin Operation Doomsday."

"It will be done my lord." Gore said. He wanted to savor this moment, the COLTS would all finally be destroyed!

The city of Trottingham had just completed repairs from the assault on it over a year ago. Many families had moved back in and there were hundreds of soldiers stationed there to protect it. Two sentries stood guard at the entrance to the city.

"Sir?" A Marine asked as seventy five ponies approached the city.

"It's the COLTS! Let them through." The CO said as the seventy five COLTS got closer. "What brings you to Trotting-". One of the COLTS used his sword to slice off the CO's head.

"WOAH! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" The sentries said as they threw spears and arrows at the COLTS but they all missed. The COLTS swept in and killed the sentries before making their move on the city. Thousands of civilians began running in stark terror as all the soldier stationed there ran to face the threat.

"ITS THE COLTS! THEY'RE THE ONES ATTACKING US!" A Marine screamed.

"OH BUCK WE'RE DEAD!" A soldier yelled. They knew taking on the COLTS was suicide but they had to stall the traitorous ponies until everypony go to safety. The COLTS came in and began firing at the guards. They also took aim at all the civilians who ran past. They fired on stallions, mares, even foals who were trying to escape. The soldiers guarding the city looked in horror as the COLTS shot down and killed civilians. The COLTS than proceeded to light buildings on fire which killed many more innocent ponies. Buildings fell and hundreds of dead foals and mares lie mutilated on the streets. The COLTS all killed as many ponies as they could before leaving but not before giving a sick smile with twisted laughter. About nine-hundred civilians were killed along with one hundred soldiers. The city lie in ruins and everypony was furious!

"Why did they attack us?" A petrified Marine asked.

"I don't care but those evil sick buckers are each going to pay for this!" An enraged pegasus said.

"The COLTS are no better than the grifs! We should kill them all!" A Marine shouted as he was met with hundreds of approvals. The COLTS who had attacked the city looked back. Their eyes glowed green as they walked away.

"Colonel Striper?" Deadeye asked.

"Yes?" Striper replied.

"My men, myself included, have been hearing voices in our heads telling us to do awful things. What are they?" Deadeye asked.

"Your mental condition must be deteriorating, I fear you may all soon go rampant." Striper said looking down. Deadeye froze upon hearing this news.

"Is there anything you can do?" Deadeye asked.

"No, you must simply not lose control of yourselves." Striper said.

"I understand sir." Deadeye said.

"Get your team ready." Striper said. "You're leaving in five minutes.". Deadeye got his team together as the approached a stealth carriage. They each got on and prepared for the travel to their insertion point. Big Mac suddenly got chills up his spine and he knew something was wrong but he simply put it off.

"I can't believe we're finally going to get the grif!" Blitz said excitedly.

"Big Mac, Autumn what happened?" Shadow asked referring to their fight.

"I think we may have gone rampant. I was hearing those voices in my head and-" Autumn began to say.

"Wait, you're getting those too?" Shadow asked.

"We all are." Deadeye said. "If we are not careful we will go rampant. Those voices are your aggressive side trying to take you over."

"That's a comforting thought." Autumn said. He was still ashamed of himself for attacking Big Mac. The COLTS soon arrived at their drop off point.

"Good luck stallions." The pegasus pulling the carriage said. The COLTS jumped off and fell hundreds of feet to the ground. They used their built in gliders to land on the ground. Once they were on the ground they stealthily moved forward, they were surprised they hadn't seen any patrols yet.

"Where are the grifs all at?" Autumn asked.

"Who knows but it makes our job easier if they aren't patrolling." Deadeye said. Eventually they saw the facility they were looking for.

"Why aren't there any guards?" Big Mac asked pointing out the lack of guards.

"I don't like this, stay frosty." Deadeye said as the COLTS advanced. They approached the door and saw a dead body laying there. They assumed it was a griffon but as they got closer they realized it was a pony. They were horrified when they figured out who it was.

"General Silver Star?" They all said in shock.

"Wait, if this is him than-" Blitz said picking up the dead body.

"I don't even wanna bucking know who is in control of the military!" Autumn said angrily. They all realized that the General Silver Star that was currently in command was a fake! Which meant things were very bad.

"Wait there's a note!" Shadow said as he pulled out a piece of paper behind the general's body. On it were three simple words.

COLTS, You lose.
