Next chapter.

As Astro explained each COLTS life in exact detail, he wondered if he should leave out the part about the COLTS being framed. It would definitely arouse angry emotions in the super soldiers, especially Deadeye. The COLTS were acting hostile as it was, he didn't need for them to be angered even further. He eventually came to a decision not to tell the COLTS about the event which killed most of the supersoldiers.

"Right, you will all stay in Ponyville with the elements of harmony. Hopefully your memory will come back." Astro said.

"Alright but I don't like this." Autumn said.

"Come on let's go." The COLTS said as they walked to a reinforced blimp. Blimps had been invented a year ago and were much faster, quite, and efficent than a pegasi pulled carriage. The COLTS armor had been damaged beyond repair so they were wearing nothing. The combined weight of the ponies caused a creaking sound to be heard. The four ponies put together weighed nearly 1200 pounds. The blimp was able to hold it though and headed towards Ponyville.


Eaglebeak, Goldbeak, Clawthorne, and Gilda entered the caves where the griffon squads were killed and mutilated. They had chosen to fly over taking transport as flying would be much more quite. The griffons held up their weapons as they advanced forward. They came across a patrol which had been literally ripped to shreds, intestines and blood were everywhere.

"ST4, anything beyond this point is to be considered hostile." Eaglebeak said.

"Think this was the 107th?" Clawthorne asked pointing to the dead bodies.

"No these wounds look fresh, it was probably X-Ray team." Goldbeak said as the griffons walked over the dead bodies. Eaglebeak said nothing the whole time as his hearing picked up a sound. He immediately turned around and aimed his crossbow in the direction of the noise.

"CONTACT!" Gilda said upon seeing her commander aim his weapon. The rest of ST4 got into battle position.

"Where?" Clawthorne asked.

"Nevermind, it was probably a small animal or something. Stay frosty." Eaglebeak said. The griffons continued walking as an unsettling fog set in.

"Great just what we need!" Clawthorne said. The fog was so thick even his eyesight could barely make anything out.

"Shut up Clawthorne!" Eaglebeak ordered as an unearthly screech penetrated the atmosphere. Hundreds of arrows suddenly began raining down on the griffons.

"AMBUSH!" Goldbeak shouted.

"CONTACTS! 50 METERS!" Gilda said as she began firing her crossbow. The griffons could barely see where they were shooting as the unknown enemy continued to assault them.

"ST4! FLAP YOUR WINGS!" Eaglebeak said as he began flapping his wings as hard as he could. The other griffons followed suit as the gush of wind from their wings blew the fog away. They could now see the enemy.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE THINGS?!" Clawthorne shouted as a darkling popped up in front of his face. Clawthorne used his claws to rip the creatures neck open killing it.

"Darklings!" Goldbeak yelled. The ambush was being repelled as the better trained griffons pushed the attackers back. Soon all the darklings were killed.

"They weren't so tough eh Goldbeak?" Gilda asked. A loud roar was heard from the cave.

"You spoke too soon." Goldbeak said as the ground began to shake with each step the incoming behemoth took. The griffons got into their defensive stance as the being approached. Sweat dripped down their faces as adrenaline pumped through their veins. Finally it came, a dark creature standing on two legs, it stood a head taller than Eaglebeak. It had long muscular arms with three fingers and its face was a four eyed monstrosity with purple and red eyes.(Basically, these looks like the elites from Halo without the four mandibles).

"By the gods!" Eaglebeak said shocked. The beast roared as it swung its fist towards Clawthorne at impossible speed.

"SONUVA-" Clawthorne said as the beasts fist connected with his face sending the griffons flying into a boulder. The rest of the griffons fired their weapons but the arrows bounced off the monsters armor. The griffons pulled out their swords realizing they were going to have to fight this thing hand to hand. Gilda rushed at the creature and delivered a solid kick to its head causing it to reel back in pain. The creature growled as it lunged at Gilda and pinned her to ground and attempted to rip her throat out. Gilda thrashed violently as she attempted to escape but the creature was too strong. She waited for death until Goldbeak had stabbed the creature in it's back. The creature turned and dropped Goldbeak in a single hit. The creature suddenly stopped roaring as Eaglebeak put his claws around the monsters neck and snapped it. Eaglebeak let the corpse drop and went to tend to his wounded troops. Gilda couldn't believe what she saw! Clawthorne, Goldbeak, and herself had been defeated easily and Eaglebeak just killed it! He was one tough griffon.

"Are you alright?" Eaglebeak asked.

"I'm fine." Gilda said as she rubbed her shoulder which had been hit very hard.

"Clawthorne and Goldbeak are out. You'll have to carry them." Eaglebeak said. Gilda looked at him oddly. Why did she have to carry both of them when Eaglebeak was carrying nothing.

"I have to carry this thing back to base." Eaglebeak said as if he read Gilda's mind. Eaglebeak picked up the dead creature that had attacked them. It was very heavy as Eaglebeak grunted under it's heavy weight. The griffons headed back to base with the unknown hostile. Both Gilda and Eaglebeak were wondering what in the hell that thing was.


COLTS Omega had returned to Ponyville. They were just getting off the airship when they were met with a large crowd of ponies who began swarming them. Cameras flashed as the soldiers backed off.

"ITS THE COLTS! THEY'RE BACK!" Numerous ponies shouted. A wave of journalists began swarming the supersoldiers.

"Captain Deadeye, is it true you have impregnated Princess Celestia's student Twilight Sparkle?"

"Sergeant Autumn Leaf, word is on the street you have had sexual intimacy with element of generosity, Can you confirm?"

"Where is Big Macintosh?"

"Who killed Gore and Von Griffon?"

"Lance Corporal Solar Blitz, rumor has it that you are having an affair with the element of laughter."

"Private Silent Shadow, we have unconfirmed reports that you forced the element of kindness into sexual intimacy."

"Are you still angry over the COLT massacre?" This is what set the guards on the airship off. If the COLTS found out about the way they were betrayed all hell would break loose.

"Listen, the COLTS are suffering from memory loss due to long term suspended animation. They are very tired and they wish to have some peace and quiet!" A guard yelled shutting all the ponies up. The COLTS had no clue what the questions they were asked were about but they had no memory of anything.

"I would never force a mare to kiss me!" Shadow said.

"Excuse sir, what did he mean by COLT Massacre?" Solar Blitz asked. The guard froze.

"When you wiped out an army of ten thousand griffons." The guard lied.

"Why would we be angry about that?" Autumn asked.

"Because ponies thought you were monsters." The guard lied again.

"Ah I see." Deadeye said.

"Alright you four will be escorted to the residence of Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy." The guard said as the four COLTS were dropped off at each mares house.


Deep in the caverns of the destroyed Mt. Hooverest. A single body lie dormant, frozen in eternal slumber. The creature known as Discord began to approach the frozen body.

"Well looks like they missed one." Discord said. "We have special plans for you my friend."

With a snap of his fingers, both Discord and Big Mac disappeared. Discord smiled, the magic that gave Big Mac his super abilities was the very dark magic Sombra himself created eons ago. Sombra would be able to control Big Mac because of the dark magic flowing in his veins.

"Looks like we are in for a storm of chaos!" Discord said happily.


Deadeye had been escorted to the Ponyville Library by Spike. Deadeye knew this library seemed familiar but he couldn't quite put his hoof on it.

"So you really don't remember anything?" Spike asked as he walked with Deadeye.

"Not a thing." Deadeye muttered with no emotion. With his memory being erased Deadeye went back to his old ruthless self.

"Well once you see Twilight maybe you'll remember." Spike said hopefully as the two walked in.

"Spike! You're back!" Twilight said. She went up and hugged Spike when she saw Deadeye standing behind him.

"Deadeye?" She asked.

"Ms Twilight Sparkle?" Deadeye responded.

"YOU REMEMBER!?" Twilight said happily.

"No, the sergeant was kind enough to inform me of you." Deadeye said referring to Spike.

"Y-you mean you don't remember me at all?" Twilight asked.

"The only I thing remember is that I am a killer." Deadeye said in a disturbing tone of voice.

"Deadeye you were never a killer!" Twilight shouted. "You were a soldier! Killers and soldiers are two different things."

"Are they now? What would you know about warfare?" Deadeye asked. Twilight looked into his infamous red eye. He wasn't called Deadeye for nothing. His very gaze struck fear into anypony. It was like Fluttershy's stare except Deadeye's burned holes through your soul.

"I suppose I wouldn't know anything." Twilight said. "But I can help you remember who you are."

"And how would do that ma'am?" Deadeye asked.

"Magic." Twilight said as her horn glowed. Deadeye felt himself freeze up as Twilight entered his mind. If she could remove the magical wall that blocked Deadeye's memories, he would remember everything. She suddenly felt herself jolted as she saw Deadeye's life flash before her eyes. She saw him being left at an orphanage and him being bullied by the other orphans. She saw him beat the bullies to a pulp and his expulsion from school. She saw him living off the land and training himself how to fight. She saw him join the royal guard and the Marines. She saw the brutal training of the COLTS and the missions he went on. She saw the face of every single thing he killed. She saw herself scolding Deadeye when the COLTS were framed for the Trottingham of these memories were brutal but what came next was most heartbreaking of all.

"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!"

Twilight couldn't take it anymore, she quickly broke from spell unable to break the barrier which clouded Deadeye's mind. She looked at the Deadeye who had no change of expression. How could one pony deal with that much pain and loss? She was crying as she fell to her knees.

"Is something wrong ma'am?" Deadeye asked.

"No, I'm fine." Twilight sniffled. Seeing Twilight cry struck a chord in Deadeye.

"Twilight Sparkle, you gave me medicine for my injured eye when I first met you." Deadeye said as memory came back. "I do remember you!"

"YOU DO?" Twilight said as her tears dried up. She was still shaken at what she saw but seeing Deadeye's memory return instilled happiness in her. "What else do you remember?"

"Nothing I'm afraid." Deadeye said. Twilight frowned, this would take a long time before Deadeye remembered everything but what mattered was that he would eventually come back.
