Chapter 1

(Third person P.O.V.)

Yuuko was on her way to school, taking the usual way that she always took, and it was a very nice day out that day. The sun was out, but it was neither too hot, nor too cool, and there were no clouds in the sky. As she continued to walk to school, she heard the voice of a familiar boy that she knew call out to her.

"HEY, YUUKO!"

Yuuko immediately turned around and saw Akihisa running up to her. Then, they started to walk to school together, talking to each other about something important that all Year 2 students had to do that day.

"So, Akihisa, are you ready for the big field trip that we are all taking to the World History and Paleontology Museum?" Yuuko asked kindly and politely, a smile on her face

"Yeah, I am, but the only part that all of the other Class F students and I are going to hate is the fact that we all have to get our own rides to the museum, while you and all of the other Class A students are provided with a means of transportation to the museum. I mean, seriously. What the hell is wrong with our school and all of the staff? Aren't they supposed to care about all of the students in the school, and not just a few? I mean seriously! Dammit! What the hell?!" Said Akihisa and as he shouted the last part in annoyance and with an annoyed look on his face.

"Sorry, Akihisa, but you are asking the wrong person. I may be a Class A student, but not even I know why they treat all of the students so differently from each other." Yuuko replied sheepishly before smiling.

"But on the bright side, I heard that, when we get to the museum, they are going to do something a little bit different with all of us students. I heard that they are going to put us into groups of 10, so if we're lucky, we all might be in the same group—me, Shouko, Aiko, Kubo, you, my brother, Yuuji, Kouta, Minami and Mizuki—so, it might not be all that bad."

"Yeah. I guess you're right, but that's only if we're all in the same group."

Soon, Akihisa and Yuuko both arrived in front of the school and were about to head their separate ways to their individual classrooms.

"Well, see ya at the museum later, Yuuko, and thanks for letting me walk and talk with you on our way here."

"Yeah, sure. No problem, Akihisa, and same to you. See ya at the museum later."

Akihisa and Yuuko had both entered the school and went into their individual classrooms, Yuuko, of course being in Class A, and Akihisa being in Class F.

Soon afterwards, the teachers then entered the classrooms and asked all of the students to hand in their permission slips. After all of the permission slips had been handed in to the teachers, all of the students and teachers then headed on their way to the museum, and very soon, they had arrived at their destination.

The teacher who was in charge of all of the Year 2 students, Ms. Takahashi, then spoke.

"All right, students. You will all now be placed into groups of ten. The members of all groups have been selected at random by our principal because she decided to try something different for this school field trip. Also, each group will have a teacher chaperoning them. When your name is called, please step forwards. When the names of ten students have been called and they have stepped forwards, those ten students will be a group and will be told who their chaperone is going to be," Ms. Takahashi announced to all of the students.

After all of the other students had been placed into their groups and given their chaperones. The only teacher who remained was Ms. Takahashi, and the only students remaining were Akihisa, Yuuji, Kouta, Hideyoshi, Minami, and Mizuki of Class F and Yuuko, Shouko, Aiko, and Kubo of Class A.

"All right, then. It looks like I will be the chaperone for all ten of you. Well, then, let's get started, shall we?" Ms. Takahashi suggested.

Ms. Takahashi's group then began to walk through the museum, looking at and studying the exhibits, and did so for a few hours, after which it was then time for everyone's lunch break, which is when Akihisa went looking for Yuuko and soon found her. The two of them began to eat their lunches together, talking to each other.

"Well, it looks like you were right, Yuuko, so now I definitely feel better about today, already," Akihisa said.

"Yeah. I guess you just have to try and focus only on the positive side of things, you know," Yuuko replied positively, a smile on her face as she winked at Akihisa.

"Oh, yeah. Sure. Also, I was also just wondering if you'd maybe like to come and sneak off with me to look at some of the other exhibits? You know, just the two of us," Akihisa asked.

"What? Seriously! Come on, Akihisa! We could get into a lot of trouble for doing that!" Yuuko responded, surprised, a shocked expression on her face.

"Yeah. I know, but the thing is, I don't want to do it for myself. I want to do it for you, because earlier today, when we were both walking to school together, you said that there was this huge Native American exhibit which came from the USA here at the museum that you said that you couldn't wait to see, so I thought that maybe you and I could go to see it together," Akihisa said, trying to remind Yuuko about what she wanted in an attempt to convince her.

"I don't know, Akihisa. I don't think that I want to risk getting caught," Yuuko replied, wondering what she should do.

"Oh, come on, Yuuko. Even if we do get caught, you can just blame it all on me and say that I forced you to sneak off with me. Come on, Yuuko. Please," Akihisa tried to assure her.

"Well, I guess it's OK, but only if you give me your word that you will take full responsibility if we get caught, OK?" Yuuko said seriously, her expression stern.

"Of course. I give you my word that, if we get caught, I will take full responsibility," Akihisa said sincerely.

"OK, then. Let's quickly finish eating our lunches so that we can head to the exhibit," Yuuko said.

"Right," Akihisa replied.

After quickly finishing up their lunches, Akihisa and Yuuko both made their way to the Native American exhibit where Akihisa began to look at some Native American weapons and Yuuko looked at some Native American musical instruments until she suddenly started to hear something, almost as if whatever it was that she heard was calling out to her. She then looked around and saw that there was nobody around but herself. Then, she heard it again, and decided to follow the sound back to its source.

After following the sound to where Yuuko could hear it the loudest, she then looked around again, and once again saw that there was nobody around but herself. Then, she heard the sound again, and she turned around and looked again for a third time. Once again, there was nobody around but herself, but this time, when she turned around and looked, she saw an exhibit that had a tent and a mannequin of a Native American shaman holding a staff.

Out of curiosity, she moved in closer to the exhibit to get a better look. As Yuuko looked closely at the exhibit, she felt like there was something very strange. Something just didn't feel right, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Then, suddenly, Yuuko was brought out of her thoughts by a sudden earthquake. Yuuko then lost her balance and fell into the exhibit. The shaman staff fell on her and she picked it up in her hands. She was about to use it to help her get back up onto her feet and put it back when, all of a sudden, she found herself in a dream-like state the moment that she touched the staff. It looked like she was in some sort of forest. She then heard a disembodied voice call out to her.

"Yuuko Kinoshita!" a disembodied voice said loudly.

Yuuko was startled by the sound of the voice. She then frantically looked around and spoke back to the voice.

"What? Who's there? What do you want?"

"Do not be afraid, young Yuuko. I am a mighty spirit, and I am here to tell you that there is a great evil in the world, and you have been chosen to become a powerful hero to battle the forces of evil and protect the innocent."

"But, why me? I'm just a second year high school student."

"Because, over the course of time, you changed from a cruel and arrogant girl to a kind and caring person, and now know right from wrong. The path that you now follow is a righteous one."

"OK, but don't I get any say in this?"

"You need not worry, young Yuuko, for the choice is yours, but I implore you to first think about your decision, and choose wisely, for if you choose not to battle, many innocent people will suffer at the hands of the forces of evil, even your friends and loved ones."

Yuuko then stopped, took a deep breath and thought about her decision.

"OK. I'll do it. I will be this great hero that you want me to be, but I just have one question. Will I be able to protect my friends and loved ones?"

"Of course, you will."

"OK, then. I will become a hero and fight the forces of evil, and protect the innocent, especially my friends and loved ones."

"Very good, young Yuuko." I shall now grant you your powers and tell you how to use them."

Yuuko was then engulfed in a bright light.

"Now, young Yuuko, you now possess the power to become a giant. With this power, you can now battle the forces of evil and protect the innocent. All you have to do to use this power is to focus. You must use your will and envision what you want to happen in order to use your powers, but you must envision it without closing your eyes. If you try to use your power with your eyes closed, it will not work. Also, because you have just received your power today, you have yet to master it. Take heed that your emotions can also affect your power because you have not yet mastered it. Do you understand, young Yuuko?"

"Yes, I understand."

"Very good. Now, take this for whenever you must use your powers. This outfit will change size with you. It is magical and cannot be destroyed. You need only to do the same as you would with your powers in order to summon it. Use your will, focus and envision it, and it will appear on your body. Whatever outfit you are wearing will then be replaced with this outfit, and you need to do the same to return to wearing whatever outfit you had on before."

Suddenly, the outfit appeared in front of Yuuko, floating in mid-air. The outfit consisted of a leopard skin top with only one strap and a matching leopard skin loincloth that covered the entire nether region of the body, and bands for both the wrists and ankles.

"Thank you, great spirit. I will do my best."

"Very good, young Yuuko. Also, there is one last thing that I must tell you for the safety of you, your friends and your loved ones. Nobody must know that you are this mighty hero. Whenever you summon your outfit and use your powers, you shall be known as Giganta. Do you understand, young Yuuko?"

"Yes, I do."

"Very well, then. Now, I shall send you back. Remember to use your powers well, young one."

Yuuko had awoken from the dream-like state and found herself back in the museum. She quickly got back onto her feet and put the shaman staff back where it was supposed to be. She then started to look for Akihisa and the others. She looked almost everywhere in the museum, and soon found herself in the paleontology section of the museum where all of the life-sized and life-like prehistoric animal replicas were.

As Yuuko was looking around, searching for Akihisa and the others, as well as all of the other students and the teachers, another earthquake suddenly hit. Yuuko didn't notice it, but the earthquake was about to make a life-sized and life-like woolly mammoth replica that was right behind her fall on top of her, she then heard the sound of something big about to fall behind her but didn't have enough time to turn around and look to see what it was.

"YUUKO! LOOK OUT!" Akihisa shouted as he rushed in and quickly pushed Yuuko out of the way of the falling replica, the replica falling on him, instead. Yuuko got back up from her position on the ground. She then turned around and looked on in horror, seeing that Akihisa had sacrificed himself to save her. Yuuko then fearfully shouted Akihisa's name and rushed over to him, looking on as she saw Akihisa crushed and pinned underneath the woolly mammoth replica.

"Akihisa! No, no, no! Akihisa, please don't die! Just hang on! I'll get you out of there!"

Yuuko then desperately tried to help Akihisa, first by trying to pull him out from underneath the woolly mammoth replica, but the replica was too heavy. She then desperately tried to move the woolly mammoth replica off of Akihisa, but to no avail. The statue was, again, too big and heavy for her to move. Yuuko then fell to her knees in tears, feeling powerless.

"No! No! Please! Oh, God, no! Please, Akihisa! Don't die! Oh, God, why did this have to happen?! Why?!"

Just then, the voice of the great spirit came to Yuuko once again.

"Yuuko, do not be afraid. Your friend is still alive, but he will die if you do not calm down and be brave, for you are not powerless. Remember: you have the power of the great spirits. You are Giganta. Now, calm yourself, young Yuuko, and summon your courage."

After the great spirit said this to Yuuko, she stood up, took a deep breath to calm herself, and then wiped away her tears.

"OK. Thank you, great spirit."

"Now, young Yuuko, change into the outfit that I gave you and use your powers to save your friend. Remember: use your will, and keep your eyes open."

Yuuko then used her will to attempt to summon her outfit. She focused and envisioned the outfit appearing on her body without closing her eyes, and soon, it did. Yuuko's body became covered in a bright light which magically switched her school uniform with the outfit that was given to her by the great spirit. She was now wearing the leopard skin top with only one strap, and the matching leopard skin loincloth that covered the entire nether region of her body, and was also wearing bands on both of her wrists and ankles. She was also barefoot.

Yuuko then did the same thing to activate and use her powers. She started to grow, becoming a giant, her outfit growing in size with her. Yuuko now stood at 26 feet tall, suddenly feeling amazing. She then leaned forwards and grasped the woolly mammoth statue in her now-giant hands, lifting it off of Akihisa as if it were as light as a feather.

After removing the woolly mammoth replica from Akihisa, Yuuko returned to her normal size, her outfit changing size with her. She then changed back into her regular school clothes and went over to Akihisa. He was alive. He was unconscious, and badly injured, but he was alive. She then picked Akihisa up and carried him on her shoulder, heading outside the museum where all of the other students and teachers were, along with many rescue teams who were looking for missing people, and helping all of the people who were injured in the earthquakes. Yuuko walked out, carrying Akihisa, and she shouted for help.

Omake:

Somewhere in a museum in the United States of America…

"Hey, Frank do you have those two Native American shaman staves ready?"

"Yeah. I've got the real artifact ready to be put on display here, and the replica staff ready to be shipped to that World History and Paleontology Museum in Japan, Joey."

As Frank was walking with the two staves in his hands, he suddenly tripped on his untied shoe laces and fell, dropping the staves in the process.

"Hey, Frank, are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"Sheesh, Frank. How many times do I have to tell you to tie your shoes before you handle something?"

"I know. I know. I'm sorry, Joey."

"Well, at least the staves didn't get damaged. That's what's important. Here, tie your shoes, and then take the real staff to the exhibit that it's supposed to be in. I'll take the replica staff to be shipped to the museum in Japan."

But, what Frank and Joey didn't know was that, when Frank dropped the two staves, they both got switched, and Frank ended up taking the replica staff and putting in the display, while Joey took the real artifact staff and shipped it to the museum in Japan.

Author's note:

Hello, everybody, and thank you for reading the first chapter of my first fan fiction. I hope that you all enjoyed it, and I will continue to write chapters for it. I was also inspired to write this fan fiction by two of my three friends and fellow writers on this website. Their names are jboy44 and SamuraiVampireHunterJCT. They also have some great Baka and Test superhero fan fiction that you can read, as well, and if you can't wait to see more of Giganta Yuuko in action, then by all means, please read my friend jboy44's fan fiction titled Baka to Alien. When you get to chapter 60, Giganta Yuuko is part of a team, and finally, if you would like to see more of an image of what Giganta Yuuko looks like, you can go to my DeviantArt gallery here (gallery/), and look at some pictures that I made of Giganta Yuuko. Right now, I only have two pictures in my gallery, but don't worry. I am already working on more, and have three more pictures that are almost finished.
