Hero or Villain
The light runs to the light

Moonlight suggested "Hmm, I'll try but it will be difficult and don't worry, I will explain everything when we are away from this town and the lunar agents. And promise me we will never come here again." responded Autumn "Don't worry, I have no intention to be returning here." "Good. Now get your rest, I don't want you to hurt your self because your tired." Confused why Autumn cared so much about him, Moonlight took her advise and got some sleep...
In Moonlights Dream Realm...
Moonlight was a twelve year old and was running to something in the distance with two other figures behind him. All he could tell was one was an unicorn and the other looked like his brother with his blackish purple coat and glowing green eyes and normal brown mane. As they reached the object, it started to glow a blinding white light but the trio were unaffected and walked up to it. Right before Moonlight touched it he heard a scream and both the figure and his brother disappeared like smoke. Everything started to crumble around him before he was impaled in the back by a sword he had created, a sword he had called Brightened Darkness.
The Next Day In The Real World
Waking up with a start, Moonlight slowly calmed himself down. "It was just a dream. no pony would impale you with that sword after all, it belongs to lady Luna." "What are you talking about?" asked Autumn in a motherly tone "Ah! Don't sneak up on me!" yelled Moonlight "That's my job!" on the verge of a giggling fit, Autumn said "Well, its all set. I have the back of both buildings covered in lighter fluid and matches at each location and with one word in this here radio, the riot will start in give or take one minute. And if it fails and shit hits the fan, my arrows are prepped and ready. I'll let them bring you food before we start." "You are strangely calm about this plan." "You do not know how much I cried when I was told you were dead. I now want pay back to your family for years of grief. They lied to a spec-ops agent and me of all ponies. I have no remorse for what we are about to do. I hate this town anyways."
the gears slowly turned in Moonlights head when he caught what she had said. "Yes I am spec-ops. How else do you think lady Luna could come here safely?" Autumn said. it's almost like she can read my mind! thought Moonlight as a guard walked in with some bread, cheese and water. After he had left and Moonlight was finished with his food, Autumn picked up her radio and said "The night falls." Autumn looked at Moonlight and said "It's time. follow me and what ever you do, do NOT look directly into any glowing crystals on walls. One look and it will know everything about you down to what you ate and what time you went to the bathroom." "That is ... disturbing." "Tell me about it." Autumn said with annoyance in her voice. something told Moonlight that he did not want to know why they annoyed her so.
They reached the records with no problems save the guards running around in a cluster buck. That all ended the moment Autumn lit the match. "OK it's burning. now we need to get out of here before the guards show up." They turned around to see guards starting to run to the fire in the distance. "Crapola." said Moonlight as he pulled Autumn behind a dumpster with Moonlight facing the building. The guards looked frantically as the fire continued to grow and Moonlight started to burn. Suppressing the need to scream in pain, Moonlight stayed still on the burning hot metal gutter to keep hidden and to keep it from touching Autumn. The guards left quickly to settle the riot. Autumn sighed "That was a close why do I smell flesh... oh god!" Autumn yelled as she pulled Moonlight off the metal "Moonlight you fool! Don't ever do that! not for me or anypony!" Well, at least I knows she cares. thought Moonlight as he got up "I'm sorry. Now before you try to worry about my burn, it was where a scar was so it does not matter. What does matter is doing the tack at hand. Now, we are going to burn the brothel then high tailing it out of here. That reminds me, do you have a plan of where to stay when we leave." Autumn hesitantly nodded "Good. now to burn more of this corrupted town full of dishonorable fools."
If Moonlight was to say that burning down that brothel was terrible or boring, he would be lying. He enjoyed every second of watching that building burn. After killing the two 'guards' by the gates and running into the forest, Moonlight felt more alive then he had in his entire life as far as he knew.
"So, where do you plan on us staying? Judging by the location of the moon, we have all day to travel so no rush." said Moonlight as soon as the two felt they were not being followed. "You might not like it but its the only place that I know of that we can stay at. it even has a few homes for sale far from the main town." said Autumn "Ah come on! How bad could it be?" "Bad." "Hey, as long it isn't Coatson I think we're good." "OK then, Ponyville." Moonlight looked at her dumb struck before erupting into a giggling fit "Oh, nice one! Seriously what town!" 'Ponyville. I have a friend by the name of Rainbow Dash who lives there." "So, not only are we going to the third worse place for me to go to but until I buy a home I might be living with one of the element's?" "The element of loyalty. If I say you are my friend and you become friends with her Celestia her self could be at that door and that Pegasus would not move a inch between you and her."
Moonlight sighed in defeat, not being the best with arguments that don't involve fighting. "Moonlight then realises the one thing he is missing and starts to worry. "Umm, Autumn" he said "you would not happen to have my bag of bits would you?"
