Ex loved his job, or did he?

His job was being the villain... quite literally.

The hero's of the city paid him to be a villain, and honestly, it was fun, the hero's never tried to actually catch him, though they made it look like they did.

Ex never really thought of doing anything actually bad... until recently.

He never really liked the hero group the Hermits, the only reason he stayed was for the money... and his brother was a part of it, he still loved his brother.

Ex decided he didn't want to be hated by everyone, blamed for every little thing, shunned to the side by friends and family, he didn't want to get beaten up by the Hermits because he was faking villain.

Ex wanted to expose the Hermits, and he knew how he would.

It took weeks to complete his project, but it was finally done, it was ready to be used.

Ex went out of his base and started to wreak havoc.

He used his powers to start destroying roads, uprooting trees, and taking chunks out of the ground; he didn't want to do any real damage, such as destroying buildings and taking lives.

Soon the Hermits came along, trying to beat him. That is where his creation came into use. His creation was a device that constantly healed him, sure it wasn't much, but Ex wasn't a mechanic.

Things happened so fast Ex wasn't sure what was happening, but all of a sudden he had his brother in a headlock.

Everyone froze.

"Hey now, we've gone a bit far now haven't we?" X asked

Ex just kept him in the headlock, X struggled and everyone else didn't know what to do.

This stayed for a while, with Ex holding X in a headlock, then finally they rushed Ex, but he was able to fend them off, somehow.

That's when the crowd started to come.

It had been a solid hour of him holding in a headlock before X finally said something.

"I'll give you extra money if you let me go..." When X said that everyone in the crowd gasped, X looked ashamed, that is when Ex let go of his brother.

Ex stood up as his brother fell forward, he let the things his powers picked up slowly float down, safely back to where they were before.

"There you have it, folks," Ex started, "I was being paid to be the villain, I was being paid to harm you, I was being PAID TO GET HURT EVERYDAY... and by my own brother..."

Everyone gasped, everyone except for X. Apparently X never told anyone that he was Ex's brother, that truly hurt.

X looked ashamed, again.

Then they heard sirens, shoot.

Luckily Ex had had a plan from the start. He grabbed his brother's wrist and used his special wrist band to teleport all of them away.

Ex made it so they couldn't see him, he made it so only X remembered him, and he watched this land grow into a new city, for people with powers.

Ex watched as they named the new found land, Hermitcraft
