"Okay, let's see here... Crab legs? Check. Noodles? Check. Calamari? Check...What am I missing...? RICE! Almost forgot about that." A bald man, who was looking at his grocery list, said before quickly heading towards the Grain aisles in order to get the rice. The man was dressed in a rather odd outfit to say the least, a yellow jumpsuit, red gloves and boots, a black belt with a round yellow buckle, and a white cape.
The man's name was Saitama, otherwise known as the Superhero, The One Punch Man. He was just simply getting groceries because food was running low for him, so he decided to make a stop at the market. Meanwhile, On the other side, two other heroes were also planning on restocking their pantries with food!
"Alright, Arthur! Do we have all the vital food sources to keep us healthy and ready to battle the forces of evil?" Asked a muscular man, dressed in a big blue bug outfit who also had a chin that could give Stan Smith some competition. Next to him was a scrawny man dressed in a white moth costume, reading a list of their requested food items.
"Milk, Eggs, Cheese, Oh! And your favorite cereal, Drama Flakes!...Ten boxes of them, Tick." Arthur said, with Tick responding with a big toothy grin.
"PERFECT! The important nutrition to start a day of crime fighting and serving justice to all!"
"Uh...Tick, you do know this cereal is made of sugar an-"
"NO TIME FOR THAT! Right now, let's make our purchase of these vital edibles. QUICKLY, TO THE CHECKOUT COUNTER!" Tick shouted before running off to the checkout counters while Arthur groans in annoyance, following Tick behind with the groceries. As Tick and Arthur made it to the checkout counter, Arthur decided to have a talk with Tick.
"Tick, listen. I know you like this cereal but you really think it's necessary to buy ten whole boxes of this stuff? I mean, that's probably gonna put quite a dent in our wallet." Arthur said, but Tick certainly wasn't going to use common sense to put back some of the boxes.
"Oh, Arthur! This is clearly a need! Without a Bowl of Drama Flakes to start my morning, I wouldn't have the strength or energy to even try and stop evil! Besides, Drama Flakes gave me the inspiration to gain my stunning war cry! ARTHUR, Without the nutritions to start my morning, WHERE WILL MY MOTIVATION BE!? WHERE WOULD IT BE!?" Tick dramatically said, holding Arthur by both shoulders as he jerked his head back in discomfort.
"Uh...N-nowhere?"
"EXACTLY ARTHUR! Now let's make our purchase real fast! We've got a day to saaaa…" Tick couldn't finish his sentence, he noticed that someone was in front of him and Arthur, A bald man dressed in a white cape and yellow jumpsuit. The thing was, he wasn't there before. Tick had realized the serious crime that this man had committed...
HE CUTTED IN LINE!
"HEY! NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" Tick yelled in a dramatic fashion, garnering Saitama's attention while Arthur covered his face in embarrassment. He knew that this wasn't going to end that well.
"Uh...What?" Saitama responded in confusion.
"Don't pretend like you haven't committed a crime, you maniacal line-cutter!"
"Oh yeah, that. Look, I thought you guys we're simply talking to each other, so I thought I'd just slip in front of you guys. Though, I'll go behind if yo-" Before Saitama had time to finish, Tick pointed his finger at Saitama in a dramatic Superhero pose.
"SILENCE! Don't you know that the world is suffering from a severe line cutting problem!? And I have a feeling that this wasn't your first action of line-cuttery!" Tick boomed while the "criminal" who stood before him just looked in pure confusion from this guy's attitude. Saitama turned towards his Moth costumed friend.
"Is he always like this...?"
"Ninety five precent of the time, yes..." Arthur replied in a saddened tone.
"Alright, you vile line cutter! Let The Tick be the one to CUT in on your crimes!" He shouted, raising his fist and bringing it down towards the Caped Baldy. But then, the Employee standing by the check-in interrupted the Tick as he stopped mid-punch.
"HOLD ON. You guy's can't fight in here unless one of you wants to pay a hundred dollars in collateral damage! If you two are gonna fight, the least you can do is take it outside!" The Clerk said.
"I...wasn't planning on fightin-"
"That sounds like a very perfect my minimum waged chum! Come along, Line-cutter. Let me be the one to send a hammer of justice crashing into on your evil walls!" Tick said before leaving the store with Arthur following behind. Saitama let out a sigh, paying for the groceries before the fight. Once he did, he exited the Market and stood in the Parking Lot where Tick was waiting for Caped Baldy, standing in a hands-on-hips superhero pose.
"Okay, I'm here. Let's get this over with." Saitama said, setting the bag of groceries aside.
"Okay, you blank-faced line-cutting! Let this be a lesson for causing such a heinous act!" Tick said before sprinting at Saitama at the speed of a charging rhinoceros. He then leapt up into the air, bringing down a fist a ultimate justice right down onto the Caped Baldy as if he was Thor striking his opponent down with Mjolnir!
The Tick's fist got closer and closer until!...
BAM!
(Music stops)
Instead of Tick delivering the first punch, Saitama delivered a light jab right into the chin of the Blue Beacon Of Hope. While it wasn't anything to severe, it still sent Tick careening into a cargo truck, leaving a big dent in the truck. Saitama still had his blank and unimpressed look as he went to grab his groceries. Meanwhile, Arthur ran to his blue costumed buddy, worried and scared of what had just happened to him.
"TICK! TICK! TICK! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" Arthur shouted in concern as Tick pried himself out of the trick, his eyes were swirly and little birds were flying around his head. Tick quickly shook his head side to side before regaining balance.
"Wowie! That line-cutter certainly can hit hard! But he won't be strong enough to break through my determination!" Tick declared, running back to his original position. Saitama was about get his groceries until he heard Tick shouting, causing Saitama to quickly spring up. Surprised to see his opponent had literally got back up after one of his punch!
"SO! Think you could just walk off after hitting me really hard, huh?... Well you've got another thing coming!" The Blue Beacon Of Hope shouted in a heroic manner while Saitama started to think to himself...
"This guy managed to get up from one of my punches... Maybe he could be the one to give me a good fight..." After this thought struck Saitama, he immediately knew that this could potentially be the fight of his life, something that he had longed for!
"Okay, you really wanna fight. Then come on! Give me all you got." Saitama said, accepting the Tick's challenge.
"Okay, you rancid cutter of lines! HAVE AT YOU!"
Tick then came sprinting at Saitama as he yelled his oh-so famous catchphrase...
"SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!"
"...Did this guy just yell spoon as a catchphrase...?"
IT'S A HEROIC BOUT!
MAY THE BEST WIN!
TO BE CONTINUED!
