A Colt's Darkness
Odd secret of a pony part 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpirit went back to Princess Celestia and told her that Sweetie Belle was going to the Griffin Empire.
"That is good, but you shall need to bring certain supplies with you." Celestia looked away. "Lycans are weak to silver, so take a silver object with you." Spirit already didn't like this. "Take some first aid with you, some wolf-bane just in case. Also, bring a knife for tight situations, you can wear it under this jacket and padding." Celestia threw a knife that was still in it's sheath to Spirit along with a jacket and pads that felt just like the coat of a pony. "Those pads should protect you from anything that can cut." Celestia smiled and left the room. Spirit began to put on the pads, it was quite easy and it didn't seem to bother him in the slightest. The jacket was a light grey color and felt very comfortable. He walked to his room and began to pack. He packed books, training weights that he wore under his huge jacket that covered his whole body, and he kept the knife a secret along with the silver.
"Better go see if Sweetie Belle is close to being done." As he left his room Sweetie Belle trotted up to his room with a small saddle bag.
"Ready to go?" Sweetie Belle asked with excitement.
"Sure am. So, are you going to enter a singing contest when we get there? Princess Celestia told me how much you wanted to enter one." Sweetie Belle only nodded and started to drag Spirit behind her.
"Yeah, but I have a question. Where did you get the jacket? It looks really cool." Spirit smiled at the compliment.
"Princess Celestia gave it to me. I don't know why, but it is really comfortable." Spirit looked down at his jacket.
"Well, lets get going! We have to get there as soon as possible!" Sweetie Belle voice cracked. Spirit ran to keep up with her. They talked along the way, it was mainly about what they brought with them and about some of the activity around Equestria. Soon they made it to their chariot and left for the Griffin Empire. They saw a large canyons with rainbow colored walls, a large sea with magnificent creatures like dolphins and whales. They soon arrived at the Griffin Kingdom, it was very bright, but the buildings seemed to be a single color of brown or orange. They were all very tall with small pubs or buildings of other sorts. They landed, thanked the pegasi that flew them to the Kingdom, and went to see the King. They were escorted to the throne room and there they met him. King Quetzal.
"Hello, you were sent here by Princess Celestia. Were you not?" His voice was quite loud.
"Yes, we were sent here by Princess." Sweetie Belle had sounded somewhat intimidated. King Quetzal smiled.
"Well, welcome friends! I am glad that there are still ponies other than the princesses who will give us griffins a chance!" Spirit and Sweetie Belle smiled. "I already know your names, I will also be giving you two a special room in the castle if you like." Spirit and Sweetie Belle both lit up at this.
"Yes please!" They both said simultaneously. The King laughed and sent them to there room. It was a large room with a light purple wall paper, two large beds, a small snack stand, a large bathroom, and even a wall of weapons on display. "This place is huge!" Spirit shouted.
"I know! This is wonderful!" Sweetie Belle began to skip around the room.
"So, what are we gonna do first?" Sweetie Belle stopped. It was a good question. They both had their minds on the scenery when they traveled.
"We could go shopping?" It was the only thing they could come up with. "The singing contests are also held in a big mall, maybe we could go there. Right?"
"That is really our only plan. Lets go!" They both trotted out of the castle and roamed around the city. All of the Griffins greeted them warmly and often stopped them to talk. After asking one of them where the big mall was, they finally made it to their destination. Spirit looked at a clock when they entered. "We only have about five hours until we have to leave. Lets at least spend three or four hours shopping." Sweetie Belle agreed and they began to look through all of the shops. Again, they were welcomed with smiles and made many friends. They first stopped to buy candy and some lunch. They then went to buy gifts for their friends back at the base. They were eventually stopped to be interviewed because they were the first ponies to enter the Kingdom since ten years ago. They eventually bought books and CDs as well.
"Well, we have two hours before we have to leave. Now lets go to the singing contest!!" Sweetie Belle used her magic to drag Spirit through the mall while getting some laughs from some near by griffins. They quickly arrived at the contest.
"Hello! I would like to en-" She was cut off by Spirit.
"Sorry, but both us will be entering the contest if you don't mind" Sweetie Belle was stunned.
"You can sing?!"
"Yeah, I can if I want to." Spirit said proudly.
"So you mean you don't know how to sing, but you are willing to try it?" Spirit nodded. "Oh well. I guess both of us will enter." The griffin wrote their names down and got them ready. Sweetie Belle left during all of Spirit's rounds. She never listened because she thought that he would do horrible, but he didn't. So she was in for a surprise. They made it to the finals. There were three judges and they both had two songs. Sweetie Belle was first. "Get ready Spirit, you are SO losing this!"
Sweetie Belle began to sing. She sang incredibly, but the music was quite loud. Spirit didn't really care. It sounded incredible just like the rest of Sweetie Belle's rounds. All of the griffins in the room began to bob their heads to Sweetie's song. They were all hyped up ready for more excellent singing. "Well, this is going to be difficult..." Spirit smiled as the song ended. They all clapped and went wild. The judges gave her a 26\30. "Well, I'm in trouble..." Spirit none the less got up on stage as he complimented Sweetie Belle. Spirit took a deep breath, getting ready for the song. Sweetie Belle decided to stay and watch him this time.
"What?" Sweetie Belle said as she heard Spirit sing. "How can he sing so well?" She was astonished. He sang slow, but very well. The griffins seemed to be really enjoying the singing. they all were taking long, unblinking looks at Spirit out of being purely impressed. None of them expected it, even though he made it to the finals. Spirit began to move his body to emphasize parts of the song. He continued to sing in such a way that he impressed the judges enough to give him a 23\30, just like Sweetie Belle. Spirit walked off stage to get a drink, but was stopped by Sweetie Belle. "How did you do that?!"
"I just sang. You should have listened to my earlier performances." They were given a short time to cool off for the final performance.
"Brawny Spirit, you will be going first this round." One of the judges called. Spirit nodded and moved onto stage. He cleared his throat.
"Oh boy..." Sweetie Belle said to herself.
The music started out quite, but it got louder quickly. The way his voice sounded was odd, but it was still getting the griffins excited. The way this was playing out, it seemed like Spirit would win, but he slipped up for a moment. The song was getting only half way done by now. "Wow..." Sweetie Belle really liked this song choice. After the last words of Spirit's song, all of the griffins clapped like mad. The judges had given Spirit a 27\30. "I still have a chance to win this!" Sweetie Belle was excited. She never would have guessed that Spirit was a good singer.
"Good luck up there Sweetie Belle!" Spirit called. Sweetie only waved with a large grin upon her face.

"So, did you find anything about the Lycans that Spirit claims is behind this." Gunner asked the chief.
"No, nothing so far. Do you really trust him on this? Do you think it really is all about lycans and vampires?"
"Really, I haven't known Spirit for to long. But if there is one thing I can say, it is that he knows more then he should and he is right most of the time." The chief nodded in understanding. "I'm just worried about Spirit, he is watching Sweetie Belle who is a potential suspect."
"Sweetie Belle?" The chief didn't know who this was so Gunner had to explain. "Ah, I see. I guess that all you can do is hope for the best. Right?"

Sweetie Belle got on stage and set up prepared herself. She started.
The song started differently then Spirit thought it would. The one thing he didn't expect was Sweetie Belle singing the line "Your up my anus" and winking at him at the same time. All the griffins saw and let out an "Oooohhhhh!" while Spirit blushed like crazy. She was great, but the lyrics caught his attention, it was all about cannibalism. He thought back to the murders in Ponyville only to hope that she wasn't the one killing. He then listened to the song again and it was incredible how much better she was compared to previous songs. He couldn't really look away. She was just to amazing. She had finished the song. There was a long and loud round of applause. They both turned to the judges and all of the griffins did to.
"Well Sweetie Belle, the score you got from this song was....28\30!" The griffins cheered as she jumped for joy. Spirit saw this one coming form a mile away. Sweetie Belle jumped at him and gave him big hug.
"YES! That was really fun Spirit! I never expected you to do so well!" Sweetie was elated.
"Thanks!" Spirit responded, but his mind was on the lyrics to that last song.She didn't play it safe, she didn't expect him to be helping the police. Since vampires and Lycans are still technically part pony, it can be seen as cannibalism. Does that song she sang have something to do with the murders?
Author's Note
The songs used in this aren't owned by me. (Obviously.) The reason I used Nightcore for Sweetie Belle is because those songs sounded like a girl at the age of fourteen or so. At least it did to me. The last part of a "Part 3 chapter" will be coming up soon! I hope you liked it!
PS the song for Spirit were ones that I liked.
