Epilogue

The Boss opened the door to a small shop at the far part of Steampunk city with his men following behind him.

The little bell dinged as The Boss scowled at the little gizmos sitting on display. "I hope he's more than this" he spat.

Suddenly, a teenage boy, around sixteen came from the back of the store frowning.

"Sorry sir. We're close-." The Boss picked up the boy and said, "your Troop, right?"

The boy nodded quickly. The Boss gridded his teeth together pushing him into a small room in the back of the store.

Two small children sat there, shocked by all the strange and scary men coming into the room.

"Hey! Release me!" Troop snapped. The Boss threw him down and said, "rumor has it your a good mechanic. Abnormally good. Myself and one more person are probably the only better ones than you. So listen up, I have something I need built. I can't build due to work. If you build it I won't hurt you though. If you don't build it well..."

The Boss turned to his men, nodding. A man picked up a little boy that sat with a little girl. "Hey! Drop him!" Troop screamed.

The man pulled a strange weapon from his belt, then stunning the little boy right in the mouth. He screamed as Troop and the little girl watched in horror as the little boy was burned badly.

The men dropped the boy and turned to Troop. The Boss sighed and said, "what do you say? After all you have that little girl we can hurt too."

"Fine!" Troop said lifting his hands in the air. "Your right. I'm pretty good if I say so myself. Even though I don't get much business I have secretly sold some pretty powerful stuff. Just don't hurt anyone else! I'll do it."

The Boss smiled and said, "good boy." He tossed a folder spewing papers and blue prints.

"I need you to build this as fast as you can. Program it to hunt the Mastermind. Here" The Boss said handing Troop a small flash drive. "Plug this into the creation and it will hunt him. I have all DNA files in that device."

Troop paused then opened up the folder as The Boss and his men started to leave.

"Remember, I will always have someone look after you. So don't planning on running away or calling the police. And make it good. I need it strong and efficient."

Troop quickly nodded as The Boss finally said, "don't disappoint me. There will be deadly consequences." And with that, he left Troop scared out of his wits.

He then looked down at the boy who was being tended by the little girl then at the folder.

As he examined it then gasped at the blue prints. "Impossible" Troop whispered. "I have to build a human android."
