Capítulo 14: The Storm (14)
When the golem returned to being a toy Blackstar attempted to chase after the chopper by hopping from wall to wall but was a bit too late, seeing that it cant finish the job it just turned back and ran towards its Combattler that was hiding in a nearby stack of rubble.
The chopper flew away far from the destruction and the eyes of the public, the mercs didnt bother chasing after the package since they lost too many bodies on this mission, the leader sighed and got himself ready for a nagging from the boss.

Behind the rubble.
"Sheesh those guys are too well armed, wish i had that much money funding me for my career, i wouldve gotten very big if i did, now then lets see whats the package that made them attack"
Node opened the metal box that had its lock broken, he sifted through the synthetic filling and finally saw the box inside, to his surprise it was just some low-mid tier toy set that could only be a goon set.
"I risked my life for a goon set? What in the actual hell and whats so special about this goon set that theres some rich guy trying to nab it?"
He brought the box closer to his face and observed the details on the figures, although they had low to mid quality materials he had to admit that the design was very clean an veryd desirable for a Loremaker, he just feels a bit of pity since he wouldve loved them if they were jet black instead of white.
Node was a bit of an edgelord.
"Well then lets see which location this package is going to"
He removed a Holostick inside the box and activated it to reveal the location the package was bound for, the Holostick programmed with the bots route and end point is a standard addition for many delivery companies since if the bot gets destroyed then the guard will deliver it, it has a dna scanner so that only the guard or a person who has the same structure as the guard could open it.
Node looked at the location and then walked to the nearest ninja express building to pick up a safety pack, its a backpack that not made with cloth but is assembled with beam and bullet proofed metal, he put the package into it and then went to where Matt lived, he didnt have a car so he had to grab a company anti-grav bike.
The company has enough resources to perform manned delivery but decided to got with man and drone duos since itll save them some money plus "justify" the lower salary, though many have already died delivering packages.
It took an entire day and a half before the package could arrive, much later than the expected 5 hour quick delivery, node walked to the door to Matts apartment.
The place Matt lived in was quite beautiful with a floating garden between each floor that had a camouflage undercarriage that allowed the one below to see the sky, the caviat was that the apartments were small but then again this place was one of the cheaper rentals.
Buying your own home in this era is basically imposssible unless youre incredibly rich capable of buying a small piece of land at 1000000 coins, due to the massive population and the progress of technology land prices inflated way too much, it doesnt help that every position in the government is controlled by capitalists.
Anyway Node arrived at the door of Matts apartment and rang the doorbell, it was a metal sliding door that only had a keycard scanner to open it, Matt looked through the camera.
"Whos there?"
"Ninja Express, im hand delivering your package due to some accident happening along the way, but i promise you sir the package is all safe and sound"
"Package? What package? From who?"
"Its from a Toymaker named Fun Haus sir"
"Fun Haus? Why didnt they inform me that it was done?"
"How should i know sir"
"Okay then wait a bit ill open the door"
The door slid open and Matts unkempt appearance finally got some sun light, he was tall at 6'2 wearing a gray sweatshirt, very long white pants, and his black hair looked like curly fettucine.
Node activated the Holostick and had Matt sign it before handing them the package, when Matt received the package and saw the toys inside, his eyes grew wide and he laughed sinisterly that it even made node back away thinking he would be attacked.
Matt after laughing turned serious again and walked back into his apartment with the sliding door closing behind him, Node was speechless at how weird Matt had acted after receiving the toy.
"Are all Loremakers weirdos? Like man it just a goon set, there are tons of goon sets out there"
Node complained while walking away from Matts door and returned to Ninja Express HQ, Matt on the other hand had already begun to think on how he can add the toys to his story, he went to his desk and turned on the desk light.
He opened the box and made sure not to tear it since a pristine condition box is needed to resell a toy in case he wasnt satisfied with, he took a look at the clone trooper first eyeing its armor and rubbing it to feel the texture, he had to admit it felt nice and smooth almost like it wasnt made of wood.
"Very nice, now lets see whats underneath the armor, every detail on the toy is important for my story"
