[OLD] The Villain and Hero(A Hermitcraft FanStory)

Part 16

Enjoy <3

Quiet. It was too quiet. Doc scanned the scene in front of him intensely. It was just an old storehouse, with shrubs and debris decorating the floors and outer walls. Not a single other person in sight.

"I'm starting to think whatever this thing is, isn't it as important as ConCorp hyped it up to be?" He commented, turning to his partner who was crouching down next to him. The man was staring out at the building with a glint of determination in his eyes.

"Come on Doccy! They were willing to pay us a lot from this, and if we get it we'll be rich baby!" He smiled, quickly standing up to jump over the fence they were hidden behind. "Maybe we could move out of that garbage apartment!" Both Doc's eyes blinked as he stood up to swiftly follow his friend.

"Wait up Ren-" He said, catching up to the eager man. Doc then noticed the wolf ear-shaped airpods on Ren's ear, no doubt he had some epic rock music playing. Doc laughed to himself before looking up and around the outside for any sort of camera. He almost didn't expect to find any until right above the main entrance he spotted a single small blip of light. He pulled a small dagger from its place in his pocket and threw it up as hard as he could. The blade broke the camera with a satisfying crack, making some of Doc's worry slip away. "All clear." He said, looking back towards Ren, who gave him a nod in return. Both stepped up to the large door, kicking it open with a loud clang. The two wandered inside to see lots of empty shelves. There were some broken boxes sat upon but other than that...

"There's nothing in here? What??" Doc said, sounding a bit aggravated. Ren walked further in, inspecting some of the shelves and boxes.

"Are we sure this is the right place Doc?" He asked. Doc took his phone out of his pocket, pulling up an email.

"It says this was the location." He explained. Truthfully he would have preferred to get the information from something other than email but the people at ConCorp refused any other form of communication.

"Oh hey! Look!" He heard Ren call out. Doc ran over to where the man stood, waving his hand frantically. Doc ran over to see a large briefcase sitting on top of a stack of boxes. "Check this out." Ren smiled, moving to open up the leather case. Doc felt himself smile as the contents of the case shimmered in the dim light.

"Is that it?" Doc asked, looking down at the black gem. It was beautiful, in a sinister way, with a small symbol that looked like a crescent moon in the middle of its spiked edges.

"If anything in here would fit the name of 'Void Crystal' this would be it," Ren said, looking over at his partner. The two exchanged soft smiles as Ren threw a fist up in the air triumphantly.

"Let's Go! The CyberDogs succeed once again!" He cheered. Doc laughed for a moment, noticing how Ren used that silly team name he made up, before stopping.

"Don't you think it was too easy?" Doc asked, feeling a bit uneasy. Ren lifted the gem from its place, his sunglasses reflecting on the lights.

"Maybe. But I'm not complaining." Ren said. His partner smiled as he held the crystal in front of the two. "Victory baby!" Doc smiled. "With this, we'll be able to go wherever we want."

"You could start that animal center like you've always wanted," Doc said, making Ren laugh.

"What can I say, cute animals bring all the ladies running! And you could have the biggest tech lab anyone has ever seen! Maybe even build a full-fledged android!" Ren smiled. Doc chuckled, he really only knew how to construct a few limbs, and those themselves weren't very good, but maybe with this he really could. As Doc reached out to take the precious gem from Ren's hands, a rumble shook through the entire building. The man's eyes widened as the crystal began to glow. He jumped in fear as a huge chunk of the roof crashed down in between the two. Doc fell backward, looking up quickly as the rest of the building shook. 'It's going to come down on top of us.'
