Storm and the Beanstalk Part 2

A few days pass after meeting Fleur, Kazumi is writing her article on the giant and Storm is being lazy as he usually is. Kazumi, who is typing on a type writer, looks annoyed. "Damn it! What age are we living in? When are computers going to be invented?" She asks. "How should I know?" Storm replies.

Soon she finishes and submits her article. Next day…. there's an angry mob wanting to kill Fleur.

"You know we really should've seen this coming in advance." Storm points out. "Yeah. Just like that time I wrote an article about the Frankenstein monster; everyone overreacts." She says. "Wait that was you?" He asks. "Yea, strange ain't it?" She answers. "Wait why are we talking about this? We need to help Fleur." Storm says before running off.

Meanwhile, the angry mob is starting to chop down the beanstalk. "Hey! That has to be vandalism!" Storm yells as he runs up. "We live in an old country. Law hasn't been invented here yet." Someone in the mob tells him. "… Seriously what year are we in?" Storm asks, confused but shakes his head. "Point is stop trying to chop the stalk." "Why should we stop? We don't want a giant living above us!" The mob complains. "How is chopping down the beanstalk suppose to help? That's just an access, she'll still be there." Storm says, making everyone think.

"You know what? The kid's right." A guy says. "Yeah, chopping down this plant won't help us." A woman replies. Storm sighs in relief. "Good. I thought that would get out of control." He says. "We should attack the giant directly instead!" The mob roars as they grab weapons from nowhere. "I should've predicted that to be honest." Storm says to himself. The mob begins climbing the beanstalk.

Storm runs back to Kazumi, now tired from all the running around. "Well… I didn't help us what so ever." He tells her. "Then shouldn't we go help her then?" She asks. "Perhaps…Yeah we should." He says before running off once again.

He stops infront of the beanstalk and pants. "God why do I keep running so much?" He tells himself before climbing the stalk.

Meanwhile, Fleur is in her house cooking stew. "Hmm why do I 'ave ze sudden since of danger coming?" She asks herself. "Oh well, it'z not like an angry mob will try to attack a giant 15 times zer own size like a bunch of pissed off ants." She giggles to herself.

Storm then runs into the house and to Fleur. "Yo! An angry mob is coming and plans to attack you, a giant 15 times their own size, like a bunch of pissed off ants!" Storm tells her in a fast speed, and now catching his breath. Fleur just looks at him with a blank expression. "Iz zis suppose to be funny?" She asks.

Meanwhile- "Haven't we overused the word "meanwhile" already?" Storm asks. "Hey I'm just a high school fanfic writer who apparently has no life!" I tell him. "Yea well for someone with no life you sure took your sweet time making this chapter." Storm says. "I got school and work to do!" I yell. "Please all you do is waste time on games and anime. You are pathetic." Storm says before laughing. "….. Let's just move on." "That's what I thought you hopeless otaku."

The angry mob reaches the clouds and begin to head for the giant house. " 'Ow exactly did you beat them up 'ere?" Fleur asks Storm. "…. I have no idea." He replies as the mob begins set the giant door on fire, causing Fleur to panic. "Why worry, you know how long it will take that thing to burn?" As Storm says this, the door is completely gone. "…. Huh." Storm says as Fleur looks like she's about to faint.

The mob starts charging in until they find Fleur. It goes silent. "Uh…Bonjour." Fleur says nervously. The mob seems to react differently than expected. Some of them are still ready to fight, some are too scared to move, and several guys look like they've fallen in love with her. But of all of them, Fleur seems to most worry. "Oh please don't attack, I'm fragile." She tells the mob as her eyes begin to tear up.

Some of the mob seems to feel bad now. "What's wrong with you people?" Storm yells at the mob. "I thought you came to kill this giant not to wuss out!" Fleur now looks at Storm with a blank expression. "Hey that kid's right!" "Yeah we can't give up now!" "Let's fight her till the end!" The mob is fired up again. "St-Storm! What was that all about?" She yells at him. He just looks at her with a cute innocent look a child would do. "Whoops."

Soon the mob is attacking Fleur. "Ok I've had enough of this." Storm says before jumping down between Fleur and the mob. "Gale Storm!" He yells as a strong force of wind blows the mob away. Storm walks up to the mob. "Come on people what the hell is wrong with you? What's wrong with her living here anyway?" Storm asks. The mob wants to answer but can't seem to come up with a fitting argument.

"How about the fact she's a giant?" A voice says. Storm looks where the door used to be and sees the 2 cloaked guys who gave him the magic beans, Cecil and Kazu. "… Who the hell are you two?" Storm asks causing both to fall over. "That hardly matters right now doesn't it?" Cecil asks. "Point is, the fact she's a giant is a threat down below." Kazu explain, causing the mob to agree.

"What does being a giant have to do with her being a threat as long as she stays up him?" Storm asks them. "Well what if she decided to attack us?" A man asks. "Oh please, look at her!" He gestures to Fleur who still looks afraid. "Oh yeah that is definitely someone I be scared to be attacked by!" Storm says sarcastically. "What if the house falls out of the sky?" A woman asks. "We already covered there's no logic in this story in chapter 1." Storm tells them.

While Storm is being questioned, the cloaked men are sneaking up on Fleur. "This was too easy." Kazu says. "Yeah, giving the beans to an idiot, putting the town into a panic, and then kidnap the giant and make a profit!" Cecil laughs. "The giant is too gentle to do anything to stop us too." "So what do we do if the idiot finds out about our plans?" Storm says, now walking beside them. "Well we probably be screwed! But how would that happ-…." Cecil says until realizing who he's talking to. "I can handle insults, but when you mess with my friends," Storm begins "Than you pay with your life!" He yells before kicking them into a table leg.

"That's it! Let's kill this brat!" Cecil exclaims, pulling out two cleavers. Kazu surrounds himself in flames. Storm just smirks. "Now things get interesting!"
