Grocer Man's Journey of Epic Epicnexus

Grocer Man vs Reno:pt2

Grocer Man, dressed in a movie theater employee outfit, was walking home. Stargazer walked alongside him, smiling at everything he said.

Stargazer: So, you lived in Toronto most of your life?
Grocer Man: Not really, just a couple years, most of the time I was living with my Dad in Washington.
Stargazer: The city?
Grocer Man: Yeah.

Just then a limo pulled up. A butler, female, walks out, walking over to the passenger side on the back. She opened the door, and a Gentlemen's gentlemen steps out, wearing suspenders and had a long, handlebar mustache. His head was bald, and he also had on boxer gloves.

Boxer: My my, is this what you have become?
Grocer Man: You talking to me or her?
Boxer: Has she recieved a letter to join a gentlemen's club? I think not. Now, my name is J.Agamemnon, and I'm one of the seven evil veterans. I voted to call us a a guild, but that damn vulgar scientist wouldn't go for it.
Butler: I want to punch him.
Boxer: Later dear.
Grocer Man: Wait...I know your voice.
Boxer: You remember? How quaint.
Grocer Man: Yeah, you worked at the video rental place, down the street right?

The Boxer deflates.

Boxer: You are wrong, it is I, your high school bully!
Grocer Man: Mark?
Boxer: No
Grocer Man: Jake?
Boxer: No...
Grocer Man: George?
Boxer: For good sakes man, how many bullies did you have.

Grocer Man starts counting on his fingers, then looks over at Stargazer.

Grocer Man: Can I use your fingers as well?
Stargazer: Sure.

Grocer Man starts counting on her fingers as well.

Boxer: Oh for...listen man, It is I J.Agamemnon!

J.Agamemnon
Age:29
Favorite Saying: You have no dignity


He poses, a rose appearing out of nowhere in his hand, which he then throws at Grocer Man's feet. He picks it up and hands it over to Stargazer.

Grocer Man: I honestly don't remember you.
Butler: Do you remember me! HIBIKI!

Hibiki
Age: Ask a girl her age? I don't think so.
Favorite Saying: YOU GOOGLE IT!


Stargazer: Thanks for the rose...
J.Agamemnon: Alright, listen up you piece of gutter trash, I'm going to make sure you don't join the club.
Grocer Man: I still have no idea what this club is.
J. Agamemnon: And I don't care, LET'S GO. CORKSCREW PUNCH!
 
Grocer Man leapfrogged over the corkscrew punch, and made the mistake of grabbing the man's arm. This caused him to spin really REALLY fast. At the end of it, he collasped on the ground.

Grocer Man: Holy Crap.
Hibiki: Dodge this Newbie!

She charged forward to grapple Grocer Man, but before she could get close enough, a flash of white light appeared, causing her to go flying backwards and into J.Agamemnon.

Someone: Power Geiser!

The light cleared, revealing CaptainCanuck, standing there, unseen wind flapping the loose ends of his coat.

CaptainCanuck: Hey Grocer, been up to trouble I see.
Grocer Man: Capt! You made it!
CaptainCanuck: Of course I did, someone has to make sure you don't get doubleteamed.
Grocer Man: Awesome man, you think we can take them.
CaptainCanuck: I've learned a few things for the past couple of years, one thing is how to make a mean maple syrup, but I think we can take...

Before he could finihs his sentence, Hibiki jumped up and tackle CaptainCanuck to the ground.

Hibiki: YOU GOOGLE IT!
Stargazer: Did someone just use their favorite line.
Grocer Man: Crap!

J.Agamemnon jumped forward, throwing a mid air punch. Grocer Man blocked it, and sweeped out J.Agamemnon's legs out from under him. He looked around. Stargazer waved at him when his line of sight passed her.

Grocer Man: Not now, I need to gain some height on the guy.
J.Agamemnon: I can help with that. CORKSCREW PUNCH!

His fist slammed into Grocer Man's gut, sending Grocer Man flying upwards.

J.Agamemnon: Well that was easy, Honey, need any help?

J.Agamemnon looked over to see CaptainCanuck and Hibiki playing a game of Mercy.

J.Agamemnon: Honey, really? This isn't the time.
Hibki: He challenged me!
CaptainCanuck: And I'll win dammit.

From above, on his way down, Grocer Man decided it was time to fight Streetfighter with Streetfighter.

Grocer Man: CANNON DRILL KICK!
J.Agamemnon: What now?

Looking up he watched as Grocer Man missed him entirely, and slammed into CaptainCanuck, somehow missing Hibiki completely as well.

J.Agamemnon: HA! NEWB!

J.Agamemnon: HA! NEWB!

that made me laugh
 
J Agamemnon: Well that was easy, say, you want to eat at Jose's today or...
Announcer: Round 2.
J. Agamemnon: Who the hell said that?

J Agamemnon looked over to see Dr Strangefate leaning against a stone fence. Next to him was Bass, one of the few times he was out of the shower, who had a megaphone.

Bass
Age: 30 (he's old!)
Favorite Saying: Rubbish!


Bass: It was me, ROUND 2 FIGHT!

The pile of rubble exploded, Grocer Man and CaptainCanuck jumped out of it.

Grocer Man: Alright, Round 2! I'm first this time!
CaptainCanuck: You were first last time.

Grocer Man Jumped forward, glowing with an inner light.

Hibiki: Why is he glowing?
J Agamemnon: It can't be, his massive combo move is saved up.
Grocer Man: SUPER PUNCHER MOVE!

Dr Strangefate shook his head.

Dr Strangefate: He comes up with that name? Seriously?
Bass: HE IS LIKE THAT. AIN'T TOO SMART.
Dr Strangefate: Next time, turn off the megaphone.

Grocer Man, true to the moves name, released a super punch. It connected with Hibiki, knocking her down and into a building.

J Agamemnon: You'll pay for that.
Grocer Man: Tag Team move!

CaptainCanuck jumped over Grocer Man and came down on top of J Agamemnon.

CaptainCanuck: Power Geyser!

An erupting cloud of white light exploded, knocking J Agamemnon out cold.

CaptainCanuck: We won!
Dr Strangefate: Didn't think the Canadian was stupid too.
Bass: ROUND 3!
Dr Strangefate: That's it.

Dr Strangefate ripped the megaphone out of Bass' hands and threw it on the ground, then tossed a match on it. It went up in flames.
Bass: Rubbish.

J Agamemnon and Hibiki stood back up.

J. Agamemnon: Time to finish this dear.
Unknown voice: I don't think so. You've had your chance, and now it's time for me to give things a try.

A person wearing what looked to be a long trenchcoat walked up behind J Agamemnon and Hibiki.
J Agamemnon: Wait! I can defeat him!
Unknown Voice: I no longer care, you want to know why? I'M EVIL!!!!

He slapped both J Agamemnon and Hibiki on the back, causing them to explode. Coins littered the floor, as well as an enchilada.

Unknown: Enjoy your spoils Grocer Man, I'm coming for you next. HAHAHAHAHAH!
Grocer Man: Um, thanks?
Bass: I didn't see that coming.
Dr Strangefate: The author probably realized he didn't want to write a long fight. I say he took the easy way out.
CaptainCanuck: I wonder what the enchilada is for.
Grocer Man: To eat!
Stargazer: But it just came out of those people, that seems kinda wrong.
CaptainCanuck: And who was that masked man?

In the next volume, Grocer Man's Casino Blues, Grocer Man goes to a Reno Casino, but is immediately put into a death trap by the newest Evil Veteran. Can he escape, will he ever realize Stargazer's love for him? Will the Veteran kill him? Probably not, considering this was billed for six volumes.
 
Grocer Man's Casino Blues

Grocer Man, with his first real paycheck in months, decided to see what a casino was all about. This, of course, upsetted one of his roommates, Ice, who still is demanding the rent check. This has caused Ice to follow Grocer Man to said Casino, in vain hopes that Grocer Man will get the hint and pay up. Also accompanying them on this fine journey is none other than ProjectX2, the final roommate no one has been introduced to yet. They stood outside the cheapest Casino Ice could convince Grocer Man to go to, Casino Science, a small time place where one can play War, High Card, and Flux for money.

I think I just dropped a huge hint there....

Grocer Man: I can't wait to check out this place!
Ice: Why don't you give me your money now, and we can save time.
ProjectX2: This bright light is hurting my eyes. I should be in front of my computer right now.

ProjectX2
Favorite Food: Noodles of all sorts, except bad ones


Ice: I wanted company, this idiot can't even hold a conversation.
ProjectX2: YOU LIED TO ME THOUGH! THERE IS NO NOODLES!
Ice: Calm down Kiwi, we'll go by the store soon enough and you can have you damn noodles.
ProjectX2: Where did ADHD Posterboy go?
Ice: Oh crap, he ran inside, didn't he?

The two of them entered the Casino to see it completely emptied except for Grocer Man, who was attached to a roulette wheel and being spun around.

Ice: I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this...
ProjectX2: Yes. Wait, let me figure it out through deductive reasoning...

ProjectX2 scanned the room quickly, looking at some broken glass and a burn mark on the carpet.

ProjectX2: Ain't got a clue.

Five seconds previously

Grocer Man ran into the Casino to find it empty.

Grocer Man: What the heck?

Steel cables shot out of the roulette wheel and grabbed on to Grocer Man's arms and legs and attached him to the wheel. It started spinning.

Grocer Man: This ride sucks.

Presently

ProjectX2: It's just a cigarette burn I think.
Ice: Great, which evil Veteran is it this time?
Loud Speaker: Grocer Man, I await your demise with glee. It's time for you to face your next evil veteran, ULTIMATE HOUDE!
Ice: Of course he writes himself into a story.
ProjectX2: Where is my noodles!
Ice: This is Grocer man's problem, let's raid the bar.

A man stepped out framed in light, his lab coat flapped wildly in wind that was not actually present. Adjusting his goggles, he smiled down.

Houde: Grocer Man, any last words before you die?

Houde
Favorite Food: Pulled Pork

Remember that, in case I visit your houses and all


Grocer Man: This ride still sucks!

Grocer Man: Seriously, I am getting dizzy here.
Ice:How can we help you, you need to fights these yourself.
Grocer Man: But Captain Canuck helped me last time.
Ice: That's only cause Hibiki was with J Agamemnon. Fun fact, his name is easy to spell once you get the hang of it.
Project: That was about as far from a fun fact as you could get.
Ice: Yeah.
Grocer Man: Okay, okay, I gotta think about it.

Lasers sprung up from a nearby roulette table. They began to cut up the far edges of the table that was spinning Grocer Man around.

Grocer Man: THIS IS NOT HELPING ME THINK!
Houde: I know, HAHAHAHAHAH!
Grocer Man: You are an evil man! What would your Mom have to say about this.
Houde: She'd probably tell me to make it home for dinner.
Grocer Man: What time was dinner?
Houde: 5:30
Grocer Man: Am or Pm?
Houde: Ummmm PM moron.
Grocer Man: What about eating early, say 12:30ish?
Houde: Are you trying to get me to turn off my deathtrap to have dinner?
Grocer Man: Maybe.
Houde: That is a god awful plan.
Grocer Man: No it wasn't.
Project: Yes it was.

The Lasers drew closer.

Grocer Man: Oh man...

The lasers started to sputter.

Houde: What?

They went out, along with all electronics in the building.

Houde: What is going on?
Ice: Did you pay your electric bill?
Houde: I'm a mad scientist! What do you think!
Ice: Well, that be the problem then.
Houde: But why cut it now?
Grocer Man: Cause I have story immunity? Just like Kanada!

Grocer Man flexed his muscles, but nothing happened, and he stayed chained to the table.

Grocer Man: Oh man....
Houde: Ha! It still works!
Project: Interesting skylight.
Houde:Are you trying to foreshadow something?

Just then something landed on the skylight. But the skylight held.

Houde: HA!
Grocer Man: I guess there is one last thing to do.
Houde: And what is that.
Grocer Man: Time to challenge you to a logic battle!
Houde:ORLY?
 
Grocer Man: I can beat you without beating you with my fists of fury!
Houde: How, you pathetic newb?
Grocer Man: With logic!
Ice: Logic?
Grocer Man: Logic!
Houde: Logic?
Grocer Man: LOGIC!
Project: Oh wow, they got noodles in this buffet. Awesome.
Grocer Man: Yes! LOGIC!

Project paused, and shook his head. He dove back into the noodles.

Ice: We are the helpful bunch.
Houde: I still don't understand how you, a huge slacker of the tenth degree can even hope to beat me with logic when I am a purveyor of the extreme SCIENCEs.
Ice: Wow, that was all capitals. Say science again.
Houde: No.
Ice: Need a hug?
Grocer Man: Can I have one?
Ice: No, you owe me rent, freeloader.
Houde: Stay away from me fool, my SCIENCE is not to be trifled with. Especially with hugs!
Ice: Whatever. I'm going to eat some burgers now.
Grocer Man: You guys are the worst roommates ever!
Ice: We aren't roommates; you don't pay rent, which makes you a freeloading bum.
Grocer Man: This doesn't help with my confidence.
Ice: It wasn't supposed too. Now enjoy your battle.
Grocer Man: That's right, my logic battle. Hey science dude, what's the square root of pi?
Houde: That's easy, it's 1.570759…
Grocer Man: Wrong, it's Apple.

Houde looks at him.

Houde's head exploded in a shower of coins.

Grocer Man: YAHOO! Let me out of the machine to collect these puppies!
Ice: Naw, I'm going to collect them, it should cover a bit of your rent. Then I'll let you off the death machine.
Grocer Man: Awwwwwww…..
 
GROCER MAN FIGURES IT OUT KINDA!

Grocer Man and Stargazer walked down the street when he turned to her to say.

Grocer Man: Hey. you know what?
Stargazer: What?
Grocer Man: I think I kinda figured it out.
Stargazer: What makes you say that?
Grocer Man: Well, it's on that billboard.

Above the both of them was a giant billboard with writing on it. The billboard had a picture of a female lawyer, and the wiritng stated:

IS YOUR NAME IS GROCER MAN? ARE YOU TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT! COME TO MY OFFICE LOCATED AT 100 WEST VIRGINIA LANE!

Grocer Man: See! And it's a girl, girl's aren't part of this wholeseven evil bouncer thing, since it's a gentlemen's club and all.
Stargazer: There was that girl that fought you with that guy.
Grocer Man: That was a fluke.
Stargazer: Hey, have you heard from him lately?
Grocer Man: Yeah, he said he got an invite to the same gentlemen's club, but he only has to fight two people.
Stargazer: Why is that?
Grocer Man: Evidently there's only two other members in Canada.

---

CaptainCanuck: That's it, the two of you?
Gemini: Fear my awesome Mortal Kombat skills.
Planet-Man: Ever wonder what your dreams mean?
CaptainCanuck: Damn.

---

Grocer Man: So that's it.
Stargazer: Convenintly that bit of exposition brought us to where we need to be.
Grocer Man: Awesome.

They walk up to the door, which has a post it on it declaring that it's the residence of one Jaggyd, who is a lawyer of the black belt.

Grocer Man: I didn't know lawyers came with belts. Interesting.

The two of them entered the doorway, closing the door behind them. The post it feel off, revealing that the door really said, Jaggyd, here to kick ass and chew off the tips of pencils.

Weird huh?
