(Cubed Cinder)
Gum has been a member of the GG's for quite some time now. She's gained a lot of respect as one of the veteran members of the gang, and she has loved every minute of it. From Beat's daily antics to outrunning the latest breed of cops that Captain Onishima could throw at her, life was good.
The best part, however, was competing every day against Mew, one of the newer members of the team. The two had become close friends over the years because of a few select interests they shared. And at this moment in time, the two were racing each other around the far outskirts of Kogane. They finally stopped after ten long minutes of skating and grinding around the bent parking lot meters.
"Whew... I beat you again!" Gum shouted.
"What're you talkin' about, girl? I beat you fair and square!" Mew shouted.
"Yeah, but I tagged more buildings than you did." Gum said.
"Who said anythin' about taggin'?" Mew said. The two girls just laughed, like
they wanted to forget about the whole thing. They then looked behind them to see
the abandoned power plant not too far from where they were standing.
"Hey, look at that. The old power plant." Gum said.
"Yeah? What about it?" Mew asked.
"Race ya!" Gum shouted before she started skating again.
"Hey! No fair, girl!" Mew shouted before she too started skating. Both made
their way closer to the abandoned power plant.
Gum stopped her skating the moment she entered the worn down facility. Mew
was about nine seconds behind her. She was panting heavily as she tried to catch
her breath.
"No fair! Why did you have to start before me?" Mew said.
"Well, as a GG, you gotta be ready to face the challenges ahead." Gum said.
"I know, I know." Mew said. She then started to sniff a lot, like she was
smelling something.
"Do you smell that?" Mew asked. Gum took a whiff after her, and she could
definitely sense the rotten smell. It stunk, that's for sure.
"Yeah. Smells like rotten pancakes all over." Gum said.
"Where do ya think it's comin' from?" Mew asked.
"Who knows? This whole dump hasn't been used for years. Maybe it's the whole
place we're just smelling." Gum said.
"I hope so." Mew said.
"Oh, whatever. Let's just do some grinding around, shall we?" Gum asked. Mew
nodded, and that's when the two girls spotted a nearby staircase and started to
grind along the rails. The screeching noise of the skating wheels making contact
with the steel rail echoed throughout the empty facility. As they railed along,
they also could feel the bad scent grow stronger the more they advanced through
the area.
Finally, Gum jumped off the rail when she noticed something interesting.
"Hey, Mew! Look at this!" Gum said. The two then walked up to what appeared to
be a spray can.
"Wha? It's just a lonely spray can. Why would that thing be here?" Mew asked.
"Who knows? I wonder if it still works..." Gum said. She then picked it up and
sprayed at the nearby wall. The can let out a strong hissing sound and sprayed
paint all over the wall. The stench was also more evident than ever before.
"Whew... strong stuff." Gum said, fanning herself with her open left hand. Then,
the two watched with amazement as the blue paint started to fade away from the
wall.
"Hey! The paint just disappeared..." Mew said. Gum took another look at the can,
doing her best to ignore the strong smell.
"I've never heard of a spray can with disappearing paint." Gum said. She then
sprayed Mew on her stomach. She jumped back in astonishment as Gum sprayed her
for a few seconds.
"Hey!!! Why the hell did you just spray me like that?" Mew asked. Then, both
girls watched as the paint was disappearing from Mew's clothes as well.
"Look at that... It doesn't even stay on your clothes!" Gum said. She sprayed
herself, even on the face, for a few seconds before that paint also disappeared.
"Heh... what good is spray paint that stinks and doesn't last a lifetime?" Mew
said.
"For once, you make a good point. Whatever. We've got enough spray paint
already." Gum said, referring to the many spray cans attached to her waist. She
then tossed the blue spray can away. The sounds of it rolling along the floor
echoed around the room.
"Oh, come on. We should get back." Gum said. Mew just nodded as she and Gum
started skating for the exit.
When they eventually got there, however, something was noticeably different.
"Hey, uh... Gum. Wasn't this doorway a lot bigger than us?" Mew asked. Gum
looked to see their heads were well above the entrance to the empty power plant.
"Yeah..." Gum said softly, watching as the entryway seemed to be getting smaller
too, "And it's getting smaller too."
"What are you..." Mew started to say, before she too noticed that as they spoke,
the entryway was getting smaller. "Eeeek!!! Is this whole building shrinking?"
she screamed.
"Buildings don't shrink, genius. Somehow we're getting bigger." Gum said. She
looked up to see her head was quickly approaching the ceiling. She sat down in
order to give herself more room to grow. Mew followed suit.
"Bigger? But how?" Mew said. Gum gave it a thought, just as her rapidly growing
skates were starting to sweep up the broken machinery all around the facility.
"No... it couldn't have been..." Gum said.
"What, girl? Say something already!" Mew shouted.
"What else but that blue spray paint!? It disappeared from everything, even our
own skin and clothes. It smelled really badly. And this is the first time I've
seen a spray paint that can do things like that. It's not like we drank some
foreign chemicals to make us grow or something." Gum said. Mew watched as the
remaining space she and Gum had inside the power plant was starting to dwindle
away.
"Cool! We're gonna be big girls!" Mew said.
"A few seconds ago, you were scared this thing was happening to us!" Gum said.
"Well... I guess it was too much to ask for at first. But think about it, girl!
We're bigger than anything this city has seen! We could kick Onimusha's butt
now!" Mew shouted.
"You do bring up a good point." Gum said. She finally couldn't take having to
scrunch herself up in order to still fit inside the building, "Bleh... let's get
out of this dump." she said. She then punched several holes in the ceiling and
then pressed a button on her skates to retract the wheels, allowing her to walk.
Then she stood up, along with Mew a few seconds afterwards, and watched as the
structure continued to shrink in their eyes.
"That paint's some strong stuff." Mew said.
"You can say that again." Gum said. By now, the power plant, which was about 80
feet in height to begin with (but many times more feet wide), was unable to
reach past the growing girls' knees.
Eventually the growing stopped. The girls looked down one more time at the
partially destroyed power plant, then out towards the city of Kogane, miles away
from where they were standing. The girls looked almost 300 feet tall if you
could measure their height by now.
"How big do ya think we got?" Mew asked.
"How am I supposed to know? But we must be pretty big if I can do this..." Gum
said. She then lifted up her foot and brought it down hard on parts of the power
plant, messing it up even further.
"Whoa... remind me never to get on your bad side, girl." Mew said.
"(sigh) Well... going back to the GG's hideout is not really an option now, is
it?" Gum asked.
"Yeah, but how about we go into the city?" Mew asked. Gum just stared at her.
"Think about it, girl! It'll be all over the news! Gumzilla and Mewzilla
destroying Kogane! We can be just like those big girls in the movies!" Mew said.
Gum then put on a smile.
"Race ya... Slowzilla!" Gum said as she started to run away from the plant and
towards the city of Kogane.
"HEY!!! Not again!" Mew shouted as she followed suit. The two giant girls ran
playfully through the open fields, just minutes away from arriving in Kogane.
Meanwhile, back at the GG's hideout, everyone was having fun doing many things. Some were watching crappy music videos on television, some were taking turns playing pinball, some were practicing spray painting all over the drab metal walls, and some were listening to music on a stereo with a volume knob that went up to 11. But life was all good, as Beat would say. The GG's, ever since they drove nearly every other gang out of town, were a feared bunch wherever they showed up.
"Yo, Garam! You wanna turn that crap down!? It's bad for my ears!" Beat
shouted over to Garam at the stereo.
"Awwww man! Just so you can watch those cheesy Christina videos!?" Garam
shouted.
"Hey bro! Christina's got some tight stuff! Know what I'm sayin'?" Piranha said.
"Yeah, you're right... when she's not kissing up to Britney! Hahahahaha!!!!" Tab
said, which got Garam laughing with him as they exchanged high fives.
"What a corny thing to say." Beat said silently as he rolled his eyes. Pots, his
faithful dog, barked in agreement. A few minutes later, however, the music video
quickly vanished as the station logo appeared on screen.
"We interrupt our regularly scheduled program to bring you this urgent
newsflash!" the announcer said. The picture soon cut to a female newscaster,
with people screaming and yelling behind her. Beat saw the scene and wanted
everyone inside to see it.
"Hey! HEY!!! Everyone stop and come here! It's a newsflash!" Beat
shouted. Everyone followed orders, with the loud stereo turned off so the TV
could clearly be heard. The newscaster was constantly turning her head towards
both the camera and at the panicking crowd.
"The city of Tokyo-To is complete and total pandemonium as I speak! People are
running like crazy trying to get away from the giant teenage girls!" The
newscaster said. The camera then cut to a shot of the giantesses, Gum and Mew,
as they stepped on anything that was smaller than them, including buildings.
"Nobody has ever seen anything like this! Two girls the size of skyscrapers
causing total destruction throughout the city! Already several people have
either been injured or killed, and the girls show no signs of slowing down!" she
said.
"What the heck?" Beat said. He, like the other members of the GG's, stared
blankly at the TV screen, watching as two of their members took step after step
destroying the city. Most of them didn't care the city was getting destroyed.
They were just wondering how the heck Gum and Mew got so big!
"Dude! What's goin' on here?" Tab asked.
"You're asking the same thing we're asking, smart&*%." Piranha said.
"I get it! They've been taking steroids!" Yo-Yo shouted.
"When has there ever been a drug that makes people gigantic?" Combo said.
"In fanfiction!" Yo-Yo joked.
"Alright, whatever. We should get into the city and find out what the deal is.
Might want to hope that Goji ain't behind this." Beat said.
"Wait, wait, wait! You're telling us we should go into the city and talk to them
big ladies!?" Garam shouted.
"Well, put it this way, dude. If they destroy the entire city, there won't be
anything left to tag." Tab said.
"Oh... good point." Garam said. Everyone then got their inline skates on and
skated out of their hideout and towards the city.
Mew scooped her hand down and grabbed a handful of tiny people that had been
trying to escape from the two giantesses. She called out Gum who was busy
stomping on as many things as she could.
"Hey, Gummy! Don't you think people look so much cuter when they're tiny?" Mew
asked.
"Yeah. But they also look good enough to eat." Gum said. She then took the tiny
people from Mew's hand and threw all of them into her mouth, swallowing them all
in one gulp.
"Hey!!! I was gonna eat them myself!" Mew shouted.
"You'll get your chances." Gum said, going back to her crushing and teasing the
little people.
"That's right, people! Run as fast as you can. You cannot escape the wrath of
this giantess!" Gum said, giggling in the process. Mew laughed as well as she
picked up an entire building and stuffed it in her mouth, chewing it down along
with the people inside to many pieces.
"Y'know, I didn't think steel could taste so good." Mew said, jokingly. Gum only
laughed a little bit as she didn't find the joke too funny.
A few minutes had passed, and the two giantesses had already devoured many
humans and buildings, not to mention crush anything that they felt didn't taste
good.
"I could sure use a drink or two." Mew said to Gum. She looked out several yards
into the city to see a water tower.
"I've got the perfect thing for that." Gum said. She proceeded to walk over to
the water tower, with Mew following behind. They reached the 100-foot-tall water
tower, which was clearly smaller than the two giant girls. Gum bent herself down
and ripped the tower from its foundation before holding it above her open mouth.
She watched as the water poured down into her mouth.
"Hey! What about me, girl!?" Mew shouted, with her hands on her hips. Gum then
handed the tower to Mew, who drank the remaining half of the contents. She then
threw the tower down towards the city, which crushed a few buildings in it's
path.
"Well, what do you think so far, Mew?" Gum asked.
"You kidding? I'm having the time of my life showing these puny humans what we
can do!" Mew said.
"Good, 'cause I'm feeling a little more destructive now." Gum said, pointing to
the monorail tracks that weren't far from where they were standing.
"The monorail tracks? They can't support our weight, can they?" Mew said.
"Let's find out." Gum said. She then got off to a running start and then leapt
into the air with the wheels on her skates sticking out. She landed on the
monorail tracks, but unfortunately, true to Mew's word, they completely broke
apart from Gum's weight. In fact, Gum lost her balance in her landing and fell
down on her behind, causing an earthquake in the city with the loud booming
sound bringing down everything around Gum's body. Mew walked up to her fallen
comrade.
"I hate to say I told you so, but..." Mew said as she held out a hand to help
Gum up.
"Yeah, yeah. I know. Don't say it or I'll make you crush everything with your
butt!" Gum shouted as she got back up on her feet. She retracted the wheels from
her skates as she once again looked around the city.
"Hey, you think we should show the gang what we've turned into?" Gum said.
"Yay! I was hoping you'd say that." Mew said.
"Come on, let's go. Hopefully they haven't left yet." Gum said as the two
started stomping off towards the GG's hideout, unaware that they were actually
heading towards the giant girls.
The remaining members of the GG's, which consisted of Beat, Slate, Piranha,
Garam, Yo-Yo, Tab, Cube, and Combo, all skated as fast as they could through the
wreckage left behind by their two giant female teammates. They pulled all kinds
of jumps and grinds as they worked their way through the damage.
"Dang! Those girls trashed this place good." Cube said.
"You can say that again." Beat said.
"Remind me never to get on their bad side!" Tab shouted. Suddenly, the ground
starting shaking every second or so, knocking the gang members down on their
backs.
"An earthquake!?" Garam shouted.
"No, you fool! That's probably the girls!" Piranha shouted. The gang then looked
beyond a set of small buildings to see the giant Gum and Mew. And they were
heading their way!!!
"Well, talk about perfect timing! They're coming this way!" Combo said.
"But can they see us?" Slate said.
"Yeah... they look so much bigger in real life than they do on TV." Tab said.
Yo-Yo then skated up a few yards.
"HEY! Yoohoo! Ladies, down here!" Yo-Yo shouted. It did no good... the girls
didn't hear, and they were probably one step away from crushing him!
"Yo-Yo! You idiot!" Beat shouted as he quickly skated up to Yo-Yo and dived
towards him to push him out of the way, just as Gum's shoe came down where they
had been standing! Mew stepped in the same spot before the two giantesses were
walking away from where they were standing. The gang just watched as they walked
further into the background. They were so big, they could be seen for at least a
mile or two. Beat and Yo-Yo got up after barely escaping death.
"Man, Yo-Yo, what were you thinking?" Beat asked.
"What? We had to get their attention somehow, right!?" Yo-Yo asked.
"Yeah, but they're not going to hear us or even see us as big as they are."
Piranha said.
"So what do we do? They probably won't be too happy when they find the hideout
empty." Cube asked.
"The police won't be happy either when they discover the location of our
hideout. We follow them!" Beat shouted as he started skating away.
"I've never done any GTS-chasing before. Does it hurt?" Garam asked, jokingly.
Tab just shook his head.
"Idiot. Just ask Yo-Yo." Tab said before he and the other GG members skated
away.
Meanwhile, Gum and Mew were still hundreds of yards away from where their
hideout was. Gum suddenly stopped after taking a couple steps or two past an
alleyway.
"What's wrong, girl?" Mew asked.
"I could've sworn I heard some familiar voices." Gum said.
"Wha? Get real, girl! We're the only humans on this planet this big!" Mew said,
patting Gum on the shoulder.
"Yeah, you're right. Maybe I was hearing things." Gum said. Mew then looked to
her north when she started to pick up sounds herself.
"Hey! Do you hear that?" Mew asked.
"Yeah... that I definitely hear." Gum said.
"Sounds like..." Mew stopped her train of thought when she realized what those
sounds were. She smiled, as did Gum.
"Sirens." Gum smiled as well.
"Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?" Mew asked.
"You're not as dumb as I thought. I say we both teach Onishima a lesson he will
never forget." Gum said.
"Yay! This is my favorite part! When we pick on the tiny little police squad!"
Mew shouted. Gum just laughed at her.
"Hahaha! And I thought just being big was good enough for you." Gum said.
"Well... I changed my mind, didn't I?" Mew said.
"Whatever. Let's get to this police squad before they get to us." Gum said. She
and Mew nodded at each other before they started walking in a different
direction from the one they were walking to earlier.
That being said, it only took the girls a few steps to clearly see the police
squad firing whatever weapon they had towards them. Natrually, as big as they
were, the gunshots and the tear gas had no effect on them. Captain Onishima
suddenly ran in front of his squad with a megaphone in his hand. He was jumping
up and down rapidly trying to get their attention.
"You little brats! I'll place you both under arrest for this madness!!!"
Onishima shouted. Gum and Mew looked at each other and then laughed as loud as
they could. This booming laughter, as you can imagine, was taking a toll on the
soldiers as they covered their ears as tightly as they could.
"Uh... hello? Earth to you little pricks! Can't you see we're more powerful
than you'll ever hope to be?" Gum asked.
"Yeah! And you're, like, so small to us that you can't possibly capture us
now!" Mew said.
"Arrrrgh!!! Get them now!!!" Onishima shouted to his men. Some charged forward
and grabbed nothing but the girls' skates as they beat on them senselessly.
Others simply fired their weapons up towards them, but they were of no use. In
fact, Gum couldn't help but giggle every time she watched a bullet or even a
missile either bounce off her legs or get destroyed upon impact.
"Some people just never learn, do they?" Gum asked to Mew.
"I'll say." Mew said. She followed Gum's lead and lifted a foot up into
the air, bringing it down on the unsuspecting police officers and crushing them
flat, leaving a pool of blood and broken bones in their place. Onishima simply
freaked out when he saw this, but he continued to fire up at the girls with no
results.
"Well, shall we finish Onishima, Gum?" Mew asked. But Gum had a different
idea, especially when she looked near Mew's behind.
Their regular ol' spray canisters had somehow grown with them.
"Actually, Mew, if you can beat him, spray him." Gum said as she
reached behind Mew and grabbed the can from her belt.
"Hey! That's one of my cans! How did it grow so big?" Mew asked.
"Must've grown with us." Gum said. She then aimed it right down at
Onishima, who had already figured out what was going to happen and he started
running, but it was too late. Onishima was driven to the ground as the force of
the spray overcame him. The hissing sound of the can ringed through his ears as
he struggled to get back up. Finally, after a few seconds, the spraying stopped.
Onishima looked around himself to find his body and clothes all covered in
random colors of paint. He shrieked and ran away from the giantesses. The girls
just laughed.
"Ha! Onishima's never looked better, won't you say?" Gum said.
"For once, I agree with you, girl!" Mew said. Gum then looked around,
still with the spray can in hand, and looked out towards a business district
with many buildings only marginally shorter than the two girls. She smiled upon
seeing this sight.
"Mew, do you have an extra spray can with you?" Gum said.
"Of course, Beat always said to have an extra one handy, didn't he?" Mew
said, reaching up her own left leg to reveal a spray canister that was
previously concealed.
"Time to do what the GG's do best." Gum said before she started walking
towards the district, shaking the can in the process.
"Oh, you are so cool, Gum!" Mew said, acknowledging the great idea Gum
had thought of.
Meanwhile, as the rest of the GG's frantically tried to follow the two giant
girls, they didn't realize that the evil Goji would be standing in their way.
But that's what happened when Beat turned the corner and slammed into Goji,
making him drop a briefcase full of red and blue labeled spray cans. Goji
immediately got up in frustration when he recognized who crashed into him.
"You puny punks! What is it you want with me!?" Goji shouted.
"You can start by hauling your fatt butt out of our way, just like we did to you
last time." Beat said.
"Arrrrgh! When you hear from my lawyers, you'll be sorry you messed with me!"
Goji said. Tab had skated over to where the spray cans were.
"Hey Beat, look at these spray cans here. For use with altering the size of any
given matter." Tab said. Goji quickly shut the briefcase before Tab could snoop
over them any more.
"Don't touch those! These are my super special secret spray cans! They contain
deadly chemicals not safe for you!" Goji said.
"Wait... did he say altering the size of any given matter?" Combo said.
"Yeah, I heard that... what exactly do those things do!?" Beat shouted.
"Why they can make things either shrink, if sprayed by the red can, or grow if
sprayed by the blue can!" Goji said.
"Yo! You think that's what hit Gum and Mew?" Tab asked.
"Why not? It's not like anyone magically invented any size-changing guns or
potions." Beat said.
"Huh? You mean?" Goji said.
"Yeah, we mean. Take us in the air, pronto!" Beat shouted.
"Sheeesh... alright, alright. But this is the last time I take orders from punks
like you! Follow me to my company building." Goji said as he started to run off.
The GG's followed suit.
In the meantime, Gum and Mew were basically having a field day in the
business district, spraypainting their works of art all over the buildings. The
tiny people weren't stopping to see how well the giantesses could paint. They
could make one step and crush several people in the process, and that's why they
kept running. The girls then turned around and looked to see a helicopter with a
bazooka sticking out one of the windows. From the other window, they saw a
familiar face sticking out while holding a megaphone.
"Gum! Mew!" Beat shouted. Tab was also in the chopper, waving with him. Gum
looked closer, with her huge face almost scaring Goji, his associate who was
manning the bazooka, and the pilot.
"Beat? Tab? Is that you guys?" Gum said.
"Yep, sure is. You sure have grown since we first met!" Beat shouted.
"Ha ha... very funny." Gum said. Mew giggled as well at the remark.
"We found a way to shrink you back to normal!" Beat said. Mew pouted upon
hearing that.
"Awwww... do we have to shrink? I was beginning to really like this!" Mew
said.
"Yeah, I know it's disappointing, but y'know, the GG's have to come first." Beat
said. He stuck his head back inside the chopper and gave his orders to Goji.
"Okay, Goji, set the bazooka to shrink those two girls." Beat said.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Goji said. As his associate turned on the bazooka, Goji
had already loaded the red shrinking canister into the device.
"When this device fires, it will let loose a bomb that will explode upon
contact. The contact should then release the red cloud, causing the girls to
shrink down to normal." Goji said.
"Sounds fair enough." Tab said.
"Activating bazooka, preparing to fire in 30 seconds..." the associate said.
Beat and Tab backed away and listened as the bazooka went through its warmup
routine while at the same time looking out at the two giantesses, who were
standing patiently ready to be zapped back to normal size.
But when Goji caught everybody, including his own associate not looking at
the bazooka, that's when he made his move.
"Heh heh heh... well, these girls certainly proved the growth formula that I
smuggled from Giantess Magic, Inc., was an absolute success. If I can make them
bigger, they can help me rule this land once more! I won't need any punks to
help with my dirty work when I've got two very big ladies on my side!" Goji said
to himself. He then removed the red spray can and replaced it with the blue one,
the same one that made the girls grow to begin with. Just as the countdown to
firing was beginning.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, fire!" the associate said. The bazooka then fired the bomb
directly towards Gum. Gum let it hit her stomach as it exploded with a huge
cloud of dust, mixing with a blue and grey color. The girls let the cloud spread
around their hands and clothes so that everything around them could shrink.
Or at least... that's what they thought.
Everyone was stunned as the girls started to grow even bigger!
"What!? They're getting bigger! I thought they were supposed to shrink!" Beat
shouted.
"I... I don't understand! It was supposed to work the way my company built it!"
Goji shouted. Everyone could only watch in shock as the girls continued to grow.
Already they were twice as big as what they were at before. Yet bigger they
grew. The helicopter was keeping the same height level, so whereas before when
the copter was eye-to-eye with the giantesses, it was now at below crotch level.
But finally the growing stopped. The copter was now at knee level with the
girls. By the best guess of Goji's associate, the girls had become four times
bigger, or were now towering at 1,200 feet tall. Gum and Mew spoke out for the
first time, their voices more deafening than ever before.
"Hey! What happened?" Gum asked.
"We got even bigger. Wow... and I thought I was really big before! This is
goddess-like, if you like think about it!" Mew said.
Inside the helicopter, with the pilot awaiting his new orders, Tab had looked
at the bazooka to see why the girls had grown. Indeed, the blue spray can was
there instead of the red one.
"Hey, Beat, you might want to look at this." Tab said. Beat looked to see the
blue can as well.
"The blue can? That one causes growth, doesn't it? I could swear I saw Goji load
the red can." Beat said.
"Well... there's the blue can. I think he switched out the cans while we weren't
looking." Tab said, saying it aloud so Goji could hear it. Beat immediately had
a look that could kill in the eyes of Goji.
"Er... now listen. I can kindly explain it." Goji said. But Beat just lunged
forward and grabbed Goji by the throat. The sudden leap caused the helicopter to
shake a little bit, causing the bazooka and the size-changing cans to fall out
along with Goji's associate as he fell to his death.
"You son of a bitch! I knew we couldn't trust you!" Beat said. He then threw him
forcefully at the helicopter's control panel, damaging it greatly and sending a
shower of sparks and lightning that was shocking the pilot to his death. The
helicopter, meanwhile, started to plummet towards the ground.
"Nice going, Beat. Now we're all gonna die when this thing crashes!" Tab
shouted.
"Shut up! You probably would've done the same thing, y'know!" Beat said. But
just then, when the helicopter was 100 feet from crashing to the ground, the
descent stopped.
They were resting on Gum's humongous hand. It was so big, it made the
helicopter look like a fly sitting in the middle of Gum's hand. Gum kneeled back
up and waited for Beat, Tab, and Goji to make their exit. Mew stood nearby. The
three (with Goji crawling slowly due to his injuries) walked out and looked up
and the huge figures of Gum and Mew.
"Hey, you guys alright? You should be lucky I looked down near my knees and
saw you plummeting down to the ground." Gum said.
"Yeah! Now you owe us one, and as leader of the GG's, you must keep your
promise!" Mew said. Beat picked up the megaphone that had survived this
entire encounter.
"Well, I'll see what I can do." Beat said softly. Mew was the first to notice
Goji trying to crawl away, unaware he was hundreds of feet off the ground as a
result of being held by Gum. Mew picked him up and watched him squirm between
her fingers.
"Well, well, look what we have here. A little prick! I just love little
pricks!" Mew said.
"Please! Please! Let me go! You can work for me!" Goji shouted as he struggled
in Mew's grip. But this only worsened his injuries further.
"Gee, Gum, I wonder how little pricks taste." Mew said. Gum just nodded
and watched as Mew tossed Goji into her mouth. Gum listened for that tell-tale
crack as Mew brought her massive teeth down onto the crime warlord, killing him
instantly in one crunch and gulp.
"Well, at least that's the last we'll see of Goji." Tab said.
"Yeah, but now we don't have a way to shrink you girls." Beat said.
"Oh, don't worry about that for now, Beat. In fact, you could call us the
members of the Big GG's." Gum said.
"The Big GG's? Did your mom create that for you? Hahaha!!!" Mew said
before she got slapped by Gum for the bad joke.
"Cute, Mew. Seriously though, the city might want to get ready. There's some
big girls coming to town." Gum said. Beat and Tab looked at each other and
then shrugged, knowing that it was not in their position to question the motives
of a fellow teammate.
END
