Down on the ground, Druid and Callahan watched the dueling giants with disbelieving eyes.

“I’ve seen some crazy shit in my time, y’know, kid,” said Callahan. “But this… this just ain’t right.”

Druid sighed. “Tell me about it.”

Brax swung his humongous swords at the oncoming beast – clang, clang, clang! The blades rebounded every time, only momentarily slowing the monster in its tracks. Seizing a brief pause between vicious blows, the Car Nex lunged at Brax, knocking him onto his back with an earth-shaking boom. The monster hovered over Brax’s prone figure, priming itself for the killing strike, when Brax’s booted feet caught it square in the centre of its formless body, knocking it through several buildings and a rusted bronze statue of a bewigged man holding aloft a moss-covered scroll. Brax leapt to his feet and raced after the temporarily frazzled creature.

“Shit!” Druid sprinted after the disappearing giant. “Come on, we gotta catch up!”

“Why?” said Callahan “What can we do to help?”

“A visual link is crucial to upholding the spell!” he explained. “If I can’t see Brax, the spell wears off and he’s back to the comparatively tiny six-foot-seven he’s always been!”

“Shit!” Callahan rushed over to the little girl, who was sitting on the grass and staring vacantly into space. “Come on, sweetie, we gotta go.” She let him grab her pudgy hand and he hauled her, not ungently, to her feet.

Together they ran across the street, dodging large chunks of brickwork and the occasional smashed piece of furniture. People were lining the sidewalks, watching the spectacle with gawping mouths, their hands drawn protectively around their children’s shoulders.

“So much for S.H.A.D.O.W’s usual policy of absolute discretion, huh?” Druid called over the deafening roar of the world exploding all around them. “This has gotta be going viral as we speak!”

“We’ll come up with some official excuse to give the public,” Callahan shrugged, dragging the unspeaking girl behind him. “Something about uncontained gas leaks, I expect.”

“Yeah, that’s what they said about Godzilla,” Druid muttered.

“You know that was just a movie, right?”

“Duh, I’m not stupid.”

“Bigfoot, on the other hand.” Callahan let out a low whistle, a tiny smirk playing in the corner of his mouth. “Now that’s a different story.”

“Wait, what? Bigfoot’s real?” It was too late, Callahan was already rushing ahead. He was fast for a seriously wounded man. “Callahan, wait, come back! Bigfoot’s real?”
