Twilight's POV

I waited outside of Dash's room, she was asleep, for the chief of Ponyville's police department and Rainbow Dash's older brother: Spectrum. Spectrum was erased from the Dash family tree so to speak. When Rainbow Dash was Scootaloo's  age; Spectrum moved out of the house, and had never communicated with any of the Dashes since.

Spectrum comes galloping towards me, dodging nurses and doctors before finally coming to a stop in front of me. In pictures Spectrum is shone with a white coat and wings, a rainbow mane, and ice blue eyes; However, the pony in front of me looks much different. his right side is the same, but the left side is different. His left side has a black pelt, blood red mane and eyes, and a black haggish wing. You see, soon after Spectrum left home he enrolled into mercenary work just to get by, but after one mission he met a spirit named Death Wing in his dreams. Death Wing resided in Spectrum from then on, letting the spirit seep into the left side of his body in return for control.

"Can I speak to her?" The question startled me. This pony radiates fear! I barely was able to let out a nod before he went on inside.

        Inside, Rainbow Dash was throwing knife after knife into a poster of Soarin' with a scowl on her face.

       "Dashie!" I saw the kindness and care in his eye, but when Rainbow Dash turned around scowl deepened in her eyes held rage! She took the rest of the knives and threw them at Spectrum, neatly impaling the wall beside him in three different places.

       "How dare you!" Screamed Rainbow Dash now crying. "You left us! You left me.

       "I-I'm sorry" said Spectrum, nuzzling Rainbow Dash's bruised flank. "Now, who did this to you?

       She started to tremble so hard that I thought that she just might start to cry again, but she just stared at the picture of Soarin'-- still impaled on the wall by knives.

       I saw hatred boil deep inside of Spectrum's right eye while malice glinted in his left, and I swear on all things holy that I saw the left side of his of his mouth smirk a little

Spectrum's POV

        Soarin' is going down, but first I have to get intel on him. I flew to the pub where the Wonderbolts usually hang out (and where Rainbow Dash was found). I walked into the bar and immediately found Spitfire talking to the bartender.

        "Hey Spits!" I shout walking over to her, ordering a drink.

        "Hey, Spectrum what's up?" Asked Spitfire, batting her eyes "I'm sorry about Rainbow Dash, I just heard."

        "Hmm... Where's Soarin'?" I ask her, now getting serious. I see her start to sweat, bingo. She was hiding something and I was gonna find out.

        "Um...I better get going." Spitfire started to say, getting up. I pull out my gun real fast and grabbed her, shoving my gun under her chin. She starts to sob, telling me to please not kill her.

        "You better start talking Spits!" I shout, cocking back the hammer of the pistol.

        "Y-You just missed him." She blubber end out crying. I put my pistol back in it's holster and gently lowered Spits onto the floor on the bar where she continued to sob.

Spitfire's POV

        As I was lowered tot he floor slowly I heard Spectrum say a quiet: "I'm sorry."
