Look Inside Your Heart Part Two.

Prologue: Waking Nightmares. (P.O.V. Switch, Third Person.)

"This is all your fault." A female voice echoed in the darkness. "None of this would have happened, if you hadn't tricked me."

"Why would I trick you, Selene," A deep male voice replied.

"I let you out of Tartarus, and you screwed me over."

"Did I really fool the great moon titan, that's rich."

"Shut up," A bright light shines in Selene's eyes.

(P.O.V. Switch, Selene.)

"The great Titan of the Moon, powerless, trapped inside a mortal's body." I felt utterly useless.

"Oh quit your yammering." His voice boomed as the darkness was lit by orange flames. "Rage personified, does not need much to fly off his handle."

"I just wanted to regain control over my moon from that mortal."

"And you did, but at what cost, ETERNAL DAMNATION FOR THE WIN." He laughed.

(P.O.V. Switch, Cress.)

It had been a week since the rescue and Scoot and I had moved into the warehouse in downtown Ponyville. Monarch was sleeping at the castle with Luna, and Soren and Dancer had agreed to help me with renovation in exchange for room and board. "Damn, dusty." Dancer coughed.

"Who would leave all this stuff," Soren said prying a crate open with a crowbar."I mean look at this, I could build tons of kick ass stuff."

"For now, we'd settle for something that we can hit." I replied.

"Yeah I wanna punch something."

"Well that's gonna hafta wait, it's time for school."

"Aw come on, Dad do I hafta go?" she whined.

"Yes, you need to go, I'll take you, c'mon."

"Fine,"

"You too Dancer," Soren said waving his wrench.

"Aaaw, kay." Dancer's mood changed in half a second.

"Don't blow up my house Soren!" I yell walking the fillies out the door.

"No promises!" He replied starting his torch.

"Same ol' same ol'." Dancer laughed.

About ten minutes later I got them to the school, and saw Miss Cheerilee. "Good morning, Cress, who are these two?"

"This is my daughter Scootaloo, and my niece Dancer. A word to the wise they're fighters so keep a good eye on them for me."

"Don't worry I'll keep a good watch over them."

"Thanks Cheerilee, I hafta run I'll be back later okay."

"Okay see you later," I run back in the direction of Sugarcube Corner.

"Bye Dad,"

"Bye Uncle Cress."

"Bye girls!"

(P.O.V. Switch, Pinkie.)

I hear strange noises from outside, and decide to investigate. Using my Pinkie Keen senses, see what I did there? Anyway, I sneak around Ponyville, Mission Impossible style. Then itchy nose, "Bees, not the bees." A screaming stallion whizzed by, being chased by bees. "Heheheha, Looks like Honeybutter forgot to bring flowers." I still heard the weird noises, but they were louder. I skip in the direction they were coming from. Twitchy Tail, I stopped and looked up, clear skies.

"Hm, my Pinkie sense has never been wrong before." 'WHUMP' There's something heavy on my back.

"Hi Pinkie." She whispered in my ear. Ear flop, eye flutter, knee twitch, and bam opening door smacks him in the face, she fell to the ground clutching her nose.

"In your face!"

"Ow,"

"That's what you get, for sneakin' on the pinkin'." Cress laughed helping her up.

"Morning, how's the renovation coming?" I asked relatively unphased by what just happened.

"Pretty good, it's kinda hard to keep the girls busy,"

"Where are they?"

"I just dropped them off at the school, you okay?" He turned his head to the mystery Mare.

"It was a good hit." She chuckled.

"It's not like you, to be floored by a door, Firefly. What are you even doing here?" Cress replied.

(P.O.V. Switch, Firefly.)

"My sources, you know the Mercado, somepony wants you dead, and they asked me to do it, but I refused." I reach into my pocket and pull out the poster. "Somepony's offering two million bits for your head, three if you're still alive. I came to warn you, whoever this is wants you out of the picture for good." I scan his reaction for any hint of falter, but none.

"If she really has the entire Mercado out to get me, then we'll need a little help." Cress had that look in his eyes that I hated to see, he had an idea.

(P.O.V. Switch, The Dreamer.)

I open my eyes and sit up in bed."Man, what a weird dream, just who are all these characters." I look over to my alarm clock 8:00 AM. "Good I won't be late this time. "Why am I dreaming about horse people, kick ass horse people, I pull on my jeans, socks, shoes, and a semi dirty shirt from the floor. I shift my gaze to my computer and it was flashing that annoying, you got mail. I walk over and click the file, it reads,

Dear Tobias,

You have been having strange dreams of late, I want to be the first to tell you that you are not the only one, I have sent you this invitation for one reason, you are needed here, I beg of you, help us.
Anonymous,

"What do you mean?" I type and send, opening a chat window.

"The truth of the matter is, your skills are desperately needed here." Anonymous replies. "There is no other qualified enough for the task we ask of you."

"We, what would you have me do?"

"Nothing too easy,"

"I'm in where, and when?"

"Here and now."

As I start to type the screen distorts and starts doing that matrix mirror thing, I knew not to touch it, cause if this was the matrix I don't wanna unplug, I like my mundane life. I slowly back away reaching for my toolbelt. "If I don't touch it I should be fine, just grab my tools and go to work, nothing complicated 'bout that." I click my belt around my waist and back into something that shouldn't be there, a tall man with long silver and gold hair. His piercing gaze sent chills down my spine. I back away back to the computer, and sit back down, as several girl's faces appear on the screen.

"Hello there," The one with pink and purple hair said. "I was afraid you wouldn't answer."

"I wasn't but your friend here made sure I did."

"Well are you ready?" One with peach colored hair asked.

"Considering I have nothing better to do, your wish is my command." The pink and purple haired one nodded to one with pink bedhead, and the screen started that matrix shit again. The image of a hand grew closer until it came out and grabbed me. "What the fuck!?" The hand started pulling me head first into my computer. I hook my legs onto the desk.

"He's stuck," One shouted. I felt the man's hands push my feet through and I fly through a bright light and into a bookcase. Hundreds of books thicker than War and Peace rained down on me.

"Is he okay," The peach haired one asked, still a little dizzy I look at her. She looked different, they all did.

"He'll be fine." The man said stepping out of the screen across the room.

"Are you sure, he took a lot of books to the head." The pink haired one cocked her head. As my vision cleared my grasp on the situation loosened even more.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH." I screamed. "HOLY FUCK YOU'RE HORSES!!!!!!!!!!!!"

(P.O.V. Switch, Cress)

As Twilight was about to open her big mouth I covered it. "Let him get it out of his system,"

"Why is he so suprised he saw our faces." Rarity asked covering her ears.

"On his side you looked human, and now that he's on our side he sees what we really are."

"But wouldn't that make him look like us on our side?" Twilight uncovered her mouth to ask.

"Naturally, I just used the Flame of Hephaestus to make him look human, so he doesn't freak out."

"A little late fer that Sugarcube."

"Ya think?" As we carry on a complete conversation, Tobias is screaming and then Pinkie starts, and then all Hades broke loose.

"WHAT IS GOING ON, WHO ARE YOU WHY AM I HERE?"

"Hey, shut up and listen, long story short, we need your help."

"Wait a second I know you," He points at me. "You're Cressendo."

"The messages got through, that's good, the less explainig we have to do the better." Dash pumped her fist. "This guy better be worth the trouble we went through to get him.

"And then some."I walked over to him and helped him onto his feet. "Now as you may know I have a problem, that requires outside help. The Mercado is out for my head."

"The entire Mercado." Firefly interrupted. "Not to mention your brother."

"What about Scarab?"

"Chrys has him following you around, she's got eyes and ears all over.
