Next Chapter. This will be a short chapter but it is depressing

Twenty minutes earlier.

"Has anypony figured out what is going on yet?" Striper asked. He was confused to all hay about what was going on.

"No sir but we-" A doctor said as an explosion was heard outside. Striper looked out and saw thousands of Marines attacking the base. They were killing the recruits, trainers, and any other pony affiliated with the program.

"Buck!" Striper said as he ran to the armory. As he was leaving he saw General Silver Star walk in with five ponies.

"General! Thank Faust you are here! What is going on?" Striper asked. Silver Star looked at him as he fired an arrow at Striper's shoulder.

"AHHH!" Striper screamed. "GENERAL! WHAT THE BUCK ARE YOU DOING?"

"Remember what I said if the COLTS got out of hand? I said I would kill you." Silver Star said as he fired another arrow into Striper's chest.

"B-but they didn't-" Striper said as Silver Star walked up to him and held the crossbow to his face.

"You deserve to die, all ponies deserve to die!" Silver Star said as he and the other five ponies shifted forms into a changeling.

"NOOO!" Striper yelled as he tried to fight them but the changeling fired an arrow right through Striper's stomach impaling his organs.

"We are done here." The changeling said. All the ponies at COLTS-01 had been killed. Striper sat there with anger as he bled out. After the changelings changed back into ponies they went back outside.

"Striper and everypony else here is dead. Return to Canterlot." The changeling Silver Star said. The ponies all nodded their heads and left. From atop a hill, the last living COLTS could see the base in flames.

"Oh dear Fasut!" Deadeye said as he and the other COLTS ran towards the base. They saw that nopony had been spared from the onslaught. The trainers, recruits, even the doctors, maintenance, and chefs had all been killed.

"No." Shadow said as he put his head down. The other COLTS were too shocked to say anything. They could all feel rage build up as they saw the unending devastation.

"STRIPER!" Deadeye said as he ran into the building. The COLTS followed him into the command room where they saw the status of the other teams.

COLTS ALPHA- DECIMATED

COLTS BETA- DECIMATED

COLTS GAMMA- DECIMATED

COLTS DELTA- DECIMATED

COLTS EPSILON- DECIMATED

COLTS SIGMA- DECIMATED

COLTS OMEGA- ACTIVE

The COLTS all froze at seeing that all their comrades were dead. Deadeye knew that Recoil was also dead as well. Big Mac ran up and smashed a nearby table out of anger.

"NO!" Autumn yelled.

"Why? Why did this happen?" Shadow asked as he fell down crying.

"They're all dead!" Blitz cried. The COLTS would all snap any minute now. In a way they did, their eyes began to shrink and they began to feel anger and hatred towards everything. They all heard a moaning in the armory. Deadeye sprinted over there and saw Striper with three arrows sticking out of his body.

"STRIPER!" Deadeye yelled as he ran over.

"Deadeye?" Striper asked. "Thanks Faust you're alright."

"What happened?" Deadeye asked.

"Changelings were working with the grifs and they made us look like the enemy! All the COLTS are dead now!" Striper said weakly. "Listen Deadeye, in the room next to me are five magical headbands, they work as inhibitors for your rampancy. But they only last for three months and the moment they come off you will become susceptible again to your aggression." Deadeye nodded as the the COLTS each put on a headband and felt their anger get suppressed.

"One last thing Deadeye." Striper said as he pulled out a picture. "You never knew what happened to your parents.". Deadeye looked at the picture and saw it was him when he was a foal with his mother and Striper.

"Y-you mean I'm your-" Deadeye said.

"Yes my son, I am your father. I should have told you a long time ago but it was for your own good." Striper said.

"We'll save that for another time dad let's just get out of here!" Deadeye said.

"It's too late for me son." Striper said.

"Please dad! I'll carry you! I don't want to lose you!" Deadeye started to bawl.

"My son, I will always be with you. Your mother and I are so proud of you." Striper said as he hugged Deadeye. "Don't let the grifs win, don't give in to your aggression, Save Equestria."

"Dad? DAD NO!" Deadeye said as he fell into his father's dying body.

"I love you son." Striper said as he closed his eyes forever.

"I-i l-l-love you too dad." Deadeye said in between his tears. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Deadeye screamed so loud the windows almost broke. The other COLTS felt their hearts being tugged. If it weren't for the headband inhibitor Deadeye might have gone rampant. Blitz went forward to comfort Deadeye but Autumn held his hoof out.

"Give him some time alone, we need to bury the dead here." Autumn said as the other COLTS went to work burying their brothers and comrades. Big Mac saw the Wall of Honor, which honored the COLTS who had been killed in action, was untouched. He saw Black Soul's name on there and realized they had to fight on or Black Soul's death, along with the other COLTS, will have been in vain. In the heavens over Equestria, there was a great meteor shower, it was as if the sky itself was crying from the extermination of the COLTS.

"It is done Lord Von Griffon, the COLTS are no more." A changeling said.

"Excellent, You have done well Chrysalis. Without the COLTS Equestria will soon fall!" Von Griffon said laughing.
