Episode 1 - Part 2

Trace wandering around the street, saw how the city was mostly with the RGB style of colors, and every building very futuristic, with mostly blue theme and color.

Everything in the city, as far he was seeing around, was pretty normal to him, as people having their own lives, walking, buying in shops, and doing whatever they were doing.

But it didn't last long before in a sudden,l in the near distance, an explosion is heard, and soon, a car drifts from a corner and drives to where Trace was walking from.

But for Trace's surprise, the car stopped aside of him, almost at his left, and slowly drives closer at his side. Trace stopped and looked with wonder and curiosity, while the window of the driver seat slowly went down, and the driver and Trace were staring at each other.

Minister: "Oh, you are finally awake! Such in a good time. Come on, get inside!"

Trace: "Uhm.. Who are you?"

Minister: "Boy, I don't have time to lose, get up, now!"

Without more hesitation, Trace entered in the back seats of the car, and quickly, the Minister continue driving, but now to somewhere different, and not the hotel.

Trace: "Excuse me, I'm.. Trace. And you are?"

Minister: "I'm the Minister of the city, I'm the government and all the power of the city and more. You may just call me Minister."

Trace: "Oh, wow, really? You must be very important then."

Minister: "I am the most important of the city, boy. But as you woke up today, you didn't got any idea of how the city works; do you?"

Trace: "Uhm, no? I mean, is just a city. I don't think there is anything different from-"

Minister: "Alright, shut it! As you are new, I'll be patiently generous with you. So better listen and talk low, got it?"

Trace: "Uhm, y-yes?"

Minister: "Good, because I won't tell you ever again, so remember it as your own name."

After some time driving, the Minister stopped in front of a gun store. trace, curious of seeing where they were, wondered if bother asking or just accept it.

Minister: "Come on, boy!"

The yell of the Minister woke Trace up, who turned and saw the minister out of the car already, and closing the driver's door, and so, Trace with some speed, hurried to leave the car. After a little stressful moment, Trace got out of the car, it took him slightly more than normal for the situation to not make the minister act against him, but the Minister stared at trace with a disappointment expression.

Trace: "Why.. Are we here?"

Minister: "Isn't it obvious, boy? To buy arsenal and refill our equipment, of course. You don't have anything apart of the clothes, so I'll make you learn how make your jacket useful."

Trace, wondering what the minister meant, followed him inside the store. The store was more than stocked with a much more amplified variety of weapon types and the respective ammunition for each gun. All types of guns as from for the closer to the longest distance reach, from the tiniest to the biggest magazine size, and much much more.

While Trace was speechless observing everything in the store, amazed with how many guns the store seemed to have, the Minister remained in the counter.

Steve: "Welcome back, grand Minister. How may I help you today? A quick refill? A maintenance of armory? A big refill for more?"

Minister: "Just a quick refill, and help someone find his style. And maybe a check of maintenance isn't bad though."

Steve: "Very well then, as always, we talk about the price and debt in the end, no, grand Minister?"

Minister: "Of course, Steve. Now, let's find something useful that fits properly:"

Steve: "So, grand Minister. Is he some sort of new assistant?"

Minister: "Just a new coupling." "Boy! Come here!"

Trace jumps of the sudden yell, and turns around, looking at the Minister, who seemed with an expression of not desiring to call twice. And so, Trace quickly went and stopped in front of the Minister.

Trace:" Yeah, Minister?"

Minister: "Come along, you're going to learn how be a real man."

Both, the Minister and Steve, walked along, observing the possible best choices, as Trace followed along. As they walked, The Minister talked with Trace, while Steve switched his observation from Trace and the guns, analyzing the best option for him and his type of body.

Minister: "The first step, boy, is to learn the basics of a man, and all men need to be fitted properly with an own style. And also be aware of the art of murder and crime."

Trace: "Is... Any of that really necessary?"

Minister: "Of course it is, everything is necessary. If you believe is worth it, is because it is. Now, someone like you needs to know how to be a man, unless you want to be someone's bitch to be slaved. If you want everyone to know what type of man you are, you must first step forward and be a man."

As the conversation goes on, Steve does his observations and checks for find a suitable gun for the size of trace, a gun that fits both weight and height.

Trace: "I... Minister, are you sure with all of this? I mean.. The city seems peaceful and relaxing, why-"

Minister: "Boy! No more talking of nonsense! Appearances are an obvious lie in everything and everywhere. No matter how good something looks to be, is never good enough. If you don't want to be a slave bitch, you must hear me, do as I say, and learn!"

Trace: "Can we... Talk about something else?"

Minister: "Listen up, boy! If there is something I no only dislike, but hate and won't tolerate even the least! Is a man who refuses to be a man! If you decide to not be, you just have to be a slave bitch! Now, decide what you are! Are you a real man with hair in the chest? Or are you a little bitch who will get slave?"

Trace: "I..."

Trace gulps, trying to find a different answer, but the stare the Minister is giving him, makes him aware as those two options are the only options the minister will accept as answer. If Trace doesn't respond quick, the minister may act aggressively, and so, to worse, and the day was already mixed, and Trace obviously doesn't want someone like the Minister be against him.

Trace: "... I'm a man, of course. I.. I'm the one who slaves bitches for breakfast, and... ..."

Minister: "Say it with honor, with pride! What you do for breakfast, boy?"

Trace: "I Slave bitches for breakfast, Minister!"

Minister: "And what you do then?"

Trace: "I teach the hardly who their man is, Minister!"

Minister: "That is more like the answer a real man gives. Good start, boy. But don't get comfortable, you still have a way to become a man with hair in chest. Now, pick up your gun, grab it with strength and proud of what you have. And follow me to proof me what type of man you are."

Trace: "Yes, Minister."

Minister: "Proudly, boy! Men are proud of everything they do, no matter if is an error or any sort of mistake!"

Trace: "Yes, Minister!"
