Gigantopus from Planet X! Read Online Free Page B

“Uh-oh!” Then the shiny stuff fell off. It was foil.
    Sean stopped. “Hey, I thought it was real.”
    â€œHa!” Octa-Loona smirked. “Toys are no match for me. Here’s something real for you!”
    THWACK! Sean was hurled back onto the bed of spikes from Torture, Anyone? Luckily, the spikes were made of rubber.
    â€œShe’s winning!” yelled Holly. She dashed across the hangar and came running back with the giant hairy hand from Pa’s Hairy Paws!
    â€œOh, want to shake?” Octa-Loona snarled. “Well, okay, let’s!”
    THWANK! One tentacle snapped around Holly’s arms and lifted her into the air. Then it began to shake her up!
    â€œSto-aaa-ooo-aaa-oop!” moaned Holly as the hairy paw dropped to the floor and a tentacle snapped it away across the room.
    â€œOh, now you’re going to get it!” cried Liz from the kitchen set of Tiny Folks Fight Big. She grabbed an enormous pair of scissors.
    â€œOh, a cutup, are you?” snorted Octa-Loona. “Didn’t anyone tell you that’s dangerous?”
    â€œHa!” Liz snarled back. “I’m just going to even up the sides!” The blades opened as Liz charged.
    â€œGe-etttt herrrr, Lizzzz!” shouted Holly, still being shaken around above the queen’s head.
    Holly was amazed at how her friends battled the evil queen. Just like in the movies, they were everywhere, fighting, making incredible moves.
    Thwing! Thwong! The octopus queen swung around and faced Liz. A tentacle twirled out and grabbed Liz tightly by her ankles.
    â€œNo!” Liz strained as she was hoisted high above the ugly woman.
    â€œSorry,” said Liz, squirming toward Holly. “I tried.”
    Holly smiled at her. It didn’t look good for them, but she knew what she and her friends had to do. Bottom line. Stop Octa-Loona and her pet. Because if they didn’t, the slimy queen would slither off to another town. Gigantopus would wreck it. Then another and another.
    Planet after planet! Galaxy after galaxy!
    No way! They had to stop this now. Here. On the galactic battlefield known as Grover’s Mill!
    â€œUgh!” grunted Holly, trying to squirm out of the tentacles’ grasp. “Got … to … free … ourselves!”
    No good. She was caught.
    Thwang! Another of Octa-Loona’s slithery tentacles grabbed Mike by his foot. “She’s got me!” he cried. “It feels creepy on my leg!”
    Thwip! Thwap! Sean and Jeff were caught as they tried to pelt her with rubber brains from the set of Whose Brain Is This, Anyway?
    â€œOoooh, yesssss!” the octopus woman wailed. “Puny two-armed humans! I have you all!” Her three remaining tentacles twirled up to her lips. Then she let out a high-pitched whistle. “Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
    â€œNice sound effects!” said Holly, struggling against the slimy suction pads. “But you can’t keep us up here forever!”
    â€œI could!” Octa-Loona blurted out. “But I’ve got other fish to fry! Get it? And anyway—”
    YEEEOOWW! A shocking sound pierced the studio from outside and the front hangar door ripped off its hinges.
    Enormous Gigantopus himself crashed inside the studio. His tentacles flailed and slapped!
    â€œMy ride is here!” Octa-Loona cried out, clapping with her free tentacles. Then— thump! thump! thump! (five thumps, actually) she hurled the kids across the room.
    Through the open hangar door, Holly saw the destruction Gigantopus had left in Grover’s Mill. The water tower was down. The WYRD radio tower was crumpled. Slime was everywhere.
    â€œAnd now, to finish our plan!” cried Octa-Loona.
    â€œWhy do aliens always have to have plans?” snarled Holly. She was feeling very angry.
    â€œWhy do humans always need to know?” Octa-Loona snapped back. “Besides, you’ll find out when the time is
