The restaurant was quiet every monday night, but tonight it was like a graveyard. With barely a customer through the door, Billy Mason had his mind on clocking off early and calling in on his girlfriend. She'd still be up, though he'd call first anyway, just as he always did.
Billy yawned and flicked over the page of the newspaper in front of him, reading about some hick from the backwaters being abducted by aliens.
"ALRIGHT! STICK 'EM UP!"
Billy leapt back in terror, throwing his hands up in the air instinctively.
"Don't nobody mooove!"
Infront of Billy, stood a man dressed head to toe in a black outfit, a huge weapon in his hands. Billy glanced around, the place was empty. With his hands still in the air he stepped forward.
"Uh dude. There's only me here..."
The masked villain nodded, shaking his gun up and down as he did so. Small globules of what looked like sauce dripped from the barrell.
"Yeah, I can see that tough guy. Looks like you have no one to save you from the tangy terror of the Condiment King! Now empty that cash register and you might just make it out of this jam alive!"
"Alright! alright! just be cool ma-..." Billy frowned,
"Waitaminute... did you say, t-the Condiment King?"
"HAHA! Yes, The Condiment King! Master of Mustard, the King of Ketchup, The Sultan of Salsa! Now empty the damn register!"
Billy did as he was told. Casually he pushed the emergency button under the counter and began to place the meagre contents into a bag.
"So uhhh... like what're your powers?" He asked curiously.
The Condiment King grinned and raised his mighty weapon.
"Well, condiments are my weapons. I err... I shoot people... and stuff".
"Right". Billy nodded.
Outside a cop car pulled up, the cops leaping out and entering the restaurant with their weapons drawn. The King shot Billy an accusing look before turning to face the police.
"Ah, the pigs are here! I was wondering when you were going to ketchup with me!"
The first cop raised his gun towards The Condiment King.
"Just put the gun down buddy and everything will be okay!"
"Uh... I don't think so!" The king leapt forward and pulled the trigger. The cops were doused with generous lashings of ketchup, knocking them from their feet. The King laughed triumphantly, and grabbed the bag of money from Billys hands.
"HAHA! Pardon me I have to go now.... We mustard do this again sometime!" King raced for the door and out into the night.
Billy helped the uninjured cops to their feet. One of them pulled at his shirt, tutting and shaking his head.
"Oh man, this is so totally going to stain!"
