Chapter 12 - Remember That Time We Went To Every Minimarket

It was another typical Saturday and the boys were waiting for roufail outside a mini market in Paper St.

-"What in the world is taking him so long? We asked him to buy 2 bottles of water and a cola!" Leo complained.

-"Calm down dude, he's at the checkout." Kewmed told him.

-"After a decade, yeah."

Roufail finally walked out, holding 6 different bottles of water and a cola. Before anyone asked him why he was holding 6 bottles of water he spoke.

-"You guys didn't specify which water you wanted, so I bought all of them."

-"They all taste the same, dude. Just pass me one." Roufail tossed a bottle to Tempest.

-"Man, it feels like we've been to every mini-market in the city!" Kewmed observed.

Leo thought it through, and after a while he had an epiphany.

-"Guys, I know what we're gonna do today!" He announced. "Buckle your coins, because we're going shop hunting!"

-"Huh?"

-"We're going to every mini-market in the city, just like you said, and we're buying something from each!"

-"That sounds like a pointless waste of time and money." Tempest pointed out. "I'm in!"

-"That's the spirit! Anyone have any questions before we start?" 

-"Yeah, uh, how will we know where every mini-market in the city will be?" Roufail asked.

-"That's easy, friend! I know just the guy…"

EPIC TRANSITION TO A HOUSE…

Leo rang the doorbell to the second floor of an apartment building towards the outskirts of town.

-"Yeah?" came a voice from the other side of the intercom

-"Nick, it's Leo. The time has come."

-"Oh. What's the passcode?" Nick asked from the other side.

-"The pass is gonna be 'one two three' just look." Tempest snickered from behind, and the door opened. "Why was that the password?"

-"Because we're hiding this from people who overthink things. Now go in, quickly!"

Everyone rushed into the house.

-"So what are we here for again?" Roufail asked Leo in the elevator.

-"We're here for the map, me and Nick "borrowed" from scouts."

-"Why would we use a map? We have phones dude."

Before Leo answered. Tempest cut him off. "Because, Roufail, there's no point to these fetch quests if we don't do them in the most unconventional way possible."

-"What he said. Anyway we're here."

The boys stepped out of the elevator, and Nick was waiting for them outside.

-"Quick in here!" He led them to a door and they sat down on a roundtable. Nick then pulled a map out from a drawer nearby and opened it on the table.

-"How did you guys even get this map?" Kewmed asked?

-"Well, we took advantage of the chaos to steal Roman's map when Paul's "food" turned into a sludge monster."

-"I remember that!" Kewmed said. "Someone had mixed up the salt with hydrochloric acid when we were buying ingredients at the supermarket."

-"That was definitely me." Nick giggled.

-"And how'd you deal with the sludge monster?" Tempest asked.

-"Oh Buddha ate all of it."

-"Who?" 

-"It's a whole thing. Anyway, while we were talking about that i crossed out all the places we've been to on the map. That leaves us about…three. Wow." Leo said.

-"Won't Roman get mad we vandalized his map?" Kewmed asked.

-"Yeah, if he ever gets it back!" Nick answered and then started laughing very, very loudly.

-"Okay guys, we're ready to go. The first one is conveniently close." Leo said. "Probably why they call it a convenience store! Eh?"

Nobody laughed.

-"Point taken. Nick, you coming?"

-"Sure. Hopefully we don't have any run-ins with that Lasios guy. I don't think I've recovered from last time."

-"Okay then, let's roll out!"

EPIC TRANSITION TO THE FIRST STORE…

-"Okay guys, this is our first stop!" Leo said when they reached the first store. "Wonderful. It's closed! Off to a great start…" 

-"And when has that stopped us before?" Asked Kewmed, who picked up a trash can and threw it at the store's windows. He then proceeded to pick up one of the most expensive items in the store, a bottle of Prime imported straight from the states, and leaving behind his one (1) euro as payment. 

-"That was easy enough? But why Prime?" Nick asked Kewmed.

-"It's a surprise tool that will help us later. Now where's the next place?"

EPIC TRANSITION TO THE SECOND STORE…

-"Oh I know this place." Roufail said once they reached the front of the second store. "And why we have been avoiding it."

-"Why's that?" Nick asked.

-"It's run by an Italian dude. It only sells sparkling water."

Nick audibly gagged at this information. "Seriously?" he exclaimed.

-"There's a conspiracy surrounding this place, about how the owner is deathly allergic to normal water or something." Tempest said.

-"Well it's a good thing we have those six water bottles from earlier. Now we can test that theory!" Roufail said as he was putting on some science goggles he got from seemingly nowhere.

Roufail and Tempest walk into the store, and get a bottle of sparkling water. At checkout, Tempest pays with a coin that opens supermarket carts, and Roufail "accidentally" douses the poor cashier with all 6 bottles of water at once while examining Tempest's coin. 

-"What have you done?" The cashier says very ominously. Roufail and Tempest exchange worried glances. 

-"Is he talking about the counterfeit coin?" Tempest whispers to Roufail, who shrugs in response.

The cashier then spontaneously combusts, covering his desk with sparkling water.

-"Damn, he wasn't just allergic to water, he was literally made of sparkling water!" Roufail exclaimed.

-"Never mix waters kids." Tempest pointed out. "And now I gotta clean my coin from this sparkling water blood thing."

-"SERVES HIM RIGHT FOR DRINKING SPARKLING WATER!" Nick yelled from outside, before going inside to spit on the dead dude's corpse.

EPIC TRANSITION TO THE FINAL SHOP…

The boys halted in front of a very old-school shop with dusty windows and wooden balance beams supporting it. Inside they see an old man asking for help.

-"Thank you kids for coming! This fat football-looking whippersnapper has been eating all of poor old S. Hop Keeper's wares! I've had this store since I was 3 years old back in 1956, and now all that's left is one last Snickers bar!" Said the old man.

The guys all huddled up.

-"If fatass eats the last snickers bar we won't be able to complete our task, since there will be nothing else to buy!" Leo worriedly exclaimed.

-"And this old geezer's shop will go bankrupt." Nick added.

-"That too."

-"Well then let's stop him already!" Roufail said.

The five of them then ran towards the fat man, who revealed himself to be…

-"MAKOUTSADITHS?! But you rolled off into the sunset! How'd you get back?" Roufail asked him.

-"I have my ways! Now step aside. This last Snicker is all I need to satiate my hunger. For today at least." Makoutsadiths said. 

(In reality, he rolled for so long at such high speeds that he created a hurricane strong enough to send him back to his original location and counteract his previous rotation power.)

-"We can't let you do that, fatso." Tempest announced.

-"Very well then." Makoustadiths said, and begun prepared his attack.

He started rolling in place very quickly, and he was going to launch himself at the boys like a bowling ball.

-"Quick guys, we must think of something!" Leo yelled.

-"Hey Nick, wanna taste test this Prime?" Kewmed asked Nick.

-"Weird time to ask me that, but sure." Nick started drinking

-"OI BOWLING BALL MAN! CATCH THIS!" Tempest said before throwing his sparkling water coin at Makoutsadiths.

Meanwhile, Nick had drunk enough of the Prime.

-"Ew! This tastes like ass!" He announced before throwing it towards Makoutsadiths.

The sparkling water coin and the Prime collided and the mixture of Sparkling water, regular Prime water and all the chemicals in Prime caused a chemical reaction that created an explosion, sending Makoutsaditis flying out the store in the process. He started rolling down the street, knocking various cars over.

-"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS LEGANG!! GRAAAAHH!" He yelled out before we went out of the line of sight of the store window.

-"Thank you for saving my store boys!" S. Hop Keeper thanked the guys. "For that, I will give you a discount on the last Snickers in the store!"

-"How much is it then?" Tempest asked.

-"1 euro." The old man said.

-"Here." Nick gave the old man a euro. Took the chocolate bar and the 5 left the store.

EPIC TRANSITION TO A RANDOM PARK

-"Boy that was fun." Said Roufail.

-"Yeah, except when I drank Prime." Said Nick.

-"So who's eating the last Snickers?" Asked Kewmed.

After that, A brutal battle ensued. To this day, nobody knows who ate the Last Snickers. All that is known is that it sure as hell wasn't Makoutsadiths.
