**August 21, 14:36:21 Losses Foods of Hatred** is a story appearing in *the Rage Knights: Red God* universe created and written by Khaliq Trevor X.

## Synopsis

A group of unfriendly, bitter curmudgeons who are pissed off about their lives gather in Stalinsburg's Losses Foods. When an angry Karen starts shrieking about undercooked pot roast, a random “Damon Bradley” is thrown into the store, thus getting the attention of everyone inside. A cook, a managerial king and a cute AA-Battery Operated Cashier girl squeal in pig and charge for Bradley. He dances like Kerdur Rainer as a means to make fun of the irate, deranged and possibly racist older folk and equally unsettling younger crowd. They lunge on Bradley, until he *explodes*, revealing he was a Hell Clone-crafted Light Projection. A handsome college boy stomps his feet and hunts around the store under the command of Barbara the Elder Karen Queen.

Barbara builds Karens for a living outside of Losses Foods and had been assembling them more frequently after a government shutdown and mask mandate imposed due to a pandemic. She recalls Damon Bradley complaining once about two Grocery Roachmen that once laughed at him during the “early years” of the global illness. She leaves her throne to assist a customer who’s checking himself out, it’s none other than Hateon the Oil Change King. The young albeit self-hating, short-tempered managerial king recounts his own personal adventures against the likes of Bradley and Midlore West-Stein. He dubs West-Stein a *worse* threat to deal with, as he knows West-Stein will get revenge and pick on those who wrong Bradley a hundred times worse.

The two form a quick bond as more senior citizens arrive into the store that is only seconds from total doom. The seniors who were born in the Jim Crow era and were taught to be racist against others begin to mutate as a result of Barbara the Elder Karen Queen’s magic, making them become Prejudge-Bornes that scowl at anything with a darker hue. After Barbara commands them, they prowl the kingdom looking for Damon Bradley or even Midlore West-Stein. When two hostile Losses Foods goons have an argument about the political beliefs of the Rage Knights and their stances on gun control, they fight one another until Spencer Holifeld appears, knocking the two young men into each other until they collapse. Hades walks from the back with his Undead Claymore and slays a man who is fondling himself over a framed portrait of Zed “Silly Ears” in his hand. Managers come running out like chickens. A gorgeous Managerial Queen lays an egg and aims at Holifeld, knocking him out but she’s subsequently defeated when the *same* egg is tossed back at her via a rift in space. Daniel Goldberg with his Verum Vita approaches his friends.

On the camera, Barbara and Hateon watch with repulsed looks. They charge down the towering stairs of the customer service office, murmuring about how “amazing” Zaleyah Rodriguez, Line Leader No. 13, Blobossa, and literally everyone from Nameless Kingdom is for bullying Damon Bradley into resigning and share their combined contempt for the Rage Knight about how “nobody likes him” for no reason, even talking about shitty comic books and comic book stories based on their own pitiful bullying. Just as the two laugh and make it to the self-check out registers, they see AA-Battery Operated Cute Cashier who has a nearly permanent smile on her face. She then bleeds from her mouth, eyes and nose as she collapses and drops her handgun. Out walks Midlore West-Stein, who is also dancing like Kerdur Rainer. Hateon goes running towards the Muccian Rage Knight, but just as he does Midlore stabs him in the gut with a shard from Hell Clone Damon Bradley’s body. Cursing Midlore for his surprise attack, he goes down. Random pigs enter and swarm Hateon alongside dogs, chickens, and deer.

Holifeld and Midlore give a fist bump to one another. A surprised Karen tells everyone that they shouldn’t even be working together, as “Midlore and Spencer Dez Holifeld hate each other!” As Midlore tries to explain, Barbara drops a register onto them. Attempting to crush them before they can defeat her. While she submerges the duo, limiting their range of attacks, Daniel blasts Barbara with a Prism attack. The woman is seemingly killed, giving them enough time to save Holifeld and Midlore from their register prison. The group of four Rage Knights prepare to leave the range base of racist operations until Grocery Roachmen appear. One points an unwavering finger at Midlore, but it's impaled by Midlore’s drumsticks’ Pick On Scythe. The group find themselves overwhelmed by prejudice, hateful, gossiping customers (Karens), goons, Diseased and Barbara who ensures they’ll be ensnared in an unfriendly grocery store and go “broke” there shopping at unreasonable prices. The group fights for their lives, as they defeat and crush Diseased. Daniel swats at Karens, warping their body images and damaging their self-confidence while goons scream in pig, desperately trying to smite Hades.

The Greek God throws his claymore in a manner similar to Past Raid across the store. The enormous blade destroys light fixtures, produce and boomerangs across the store. Barbara laughs at him, using her magic to shoot every one of them. Just as the claymore boomerangs one final time, it chops Barbara in half. Mutilating her during her taunting. As she lay dying, Holifeld collects a Diseased Core from a breaker box next to the shopping carts. The power of the store dims as the group exits the store. Midlore monologues the entire event as a “reason to limit going the Grocery Store during rainy weather, the real nasty people come out”.
