Princess Luna POV

The war was finally over. After hearing of Von Griffon and General Gore's demise, the griffon empire surrendered. The changelings fled and were never heard from again. The high ranking griffon generals and the Steel Talons were put on trial for numerous war crimes including mass murder, attempt at genocide, unjust warfare and many more.

My dear Sister and Astro finally married after thousands of years of separation.

Applejack and Skullcrusher were also married, they had a foal who they name Little Macintosh, after his fearless uncle and my beloved.

Rainbow Dash and Soarin are engaged but have not yet married. Rainbow Dash was inducted into the Wonderbolts and has been living her dream since.

The COLT-II Super Soldier program had been commissioned. Though the COLT-II's could never hope to be as lethal or strong as their predecessors. Skullcrusher and Soarin had both been accepted despite the fact Soarin was a pegasus. Spike and my dear young Pipsqueak were also accepted into the program as well when they came of age.

Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, never had another love interest again.

The bodies of Deadeye, Silent Shadow, Solar Blitz, Autumn Leaf, and Big Macintosh were never found. Nopony knows where in the deep destroyed caves of Mt. Hooverest they lie entombed in their suspended animation, dreaming of returning home once more.

In the ferocious conflict that lasted two years, nearly one million ponies had been killed in action. An entire generation of stallions nearly wiped out by the brutal war. Whole cities and towns razed to the ground. Despite the overwhelming heartbreak and loss that everypony has suffered from in this terrible conflict, we shall rebuild. As we look back, we see how badly we were outnumbered and outgunned. In the course of the war, Equestria came oh so close to the edge of domination and enslavement that so many, myself included, had given up hope. It was in those times of peril that a light in the darkness appeared, a hoof helped us back up and brought us back from the brink. We were able to fight back and despite the horrendous horror and loss, we were triumphant. I have no doubt that history will remember these ponies I speak of, the COLTS.

And what of myself? I cry at night, longing to feel the warmth of his body once more, to stare into those deep green eyes again, just for him to be here with me. As much as I cry and mourn, I do have a duty as Princess, a duty that was secured by his sacrifice, and that fact is what keeps me going. I will lead for him, just as he died for us.

End of Luna POV

The COLTS Memorial was built where the COLTS-01 base once stood. There were ten foot statues of each pony associated with the program. Everyday hundreds of ponies would come visit the memorial to pay their respects to the missing heroes of Equestria.

"Your majesty?" General Blue River asked Princess Luna who stood at the statue of Big Mac.

"Good evening General." Luna said.

"Hard to believe they're gone. They survived through so much." Blue River said.

"I miss him." Luna said as she put her head on the the statues foot.

"If it means anything princess. Big Macintosh is listed as Missing In Action." Blue River said before walking away. Luna flew back to Canterlot as she passed the COLT Memorial Plaque

In this hallowed ground,

As in the hearts of the ponies who inhabit it.

For they whom saved Equestria.

The memory of the Covert Operation and Lethal Takedown Squads is enshrined here forever.

"Born into Fight, Fight into Death!"
