Ed Mercer vs the Invaders: The Giant Awakening

Chapter Fourteen: New Threats on the Horizon

Just then, a familiar voice cut through the jubilant atmosphere. "Ed! Ed! Over here!"

Kelly, the ambitious reporter, rushed into the scene, her cameraman trailing behind, eager to capture the moment. She approached Ginormica with a bright smile, her notepad in hand. "Ed, can I get an exclusive interview? This is going to skyrocket my career!"

Ed's expression hardened. He had fought hard to embrace his new identity, and he wasn't about to let Kelly turn this moment into a sensationalist story. "Actually, I'm not interested," he replied, his tone firm.

"But this is a huge moment! You just saved the world!" Kelly insisted, undeterred. "Think of the ratings! Think of your story!"

With a decisive nod, Ed scooped her up gently but firmly, hoisting her off the ground. The crowd gasped, and Kelly's eyes widened in shock. He turned and, without ceremony, tossed her directly into B.O.B.'s gelatinous body.

B.O.B. caught her with a squelchy thud, his eyes bulging comically. "Hey, I didn't sign up for this!" he exclaimed, his voice muffled by the jelly-like substance. The crowd erupted in laughter, and even Ed couldn't help but chuckle.

As the laughter died down, the joyous atmosphere was abruptly pierced by General Monger's voice crackling through the radio. "Attention! We have a new threat!"

The crowd turned to General Monger, who stood atop Insectosaurus, looking grave. "A giant snail monster, code-named Escargantua, is on its way to Paris! Reports say it's moving quickly, and if we don't stop it, it could wreak havoc on the city!"

Ed felt his heart race. Just when he thought they could finally rest, a new challenge was emerging. He looked at his friends, seeing the determination in their eyes. "Alright, team! We've faced challenges before, and we can do it again! Let's save Paris!"

With a cheer, the monsters rallied around him, ready for action. Ed climbed onto Insectosaurus's back, and the rest of the team quickly followed.

"Let's go, Insectosaurus!" General Monger commanded, gripping the reins.

With a powerful beat of its wings, Insectosaurus took to the sky, soaring over the jubilant crowd, leaving Modesto behind. The wind rushed past them as they flew into the distance, determination fueling their flight.

As they soared through the clouds, Ed looked down at his friends, feeling an unbreakable bond between them. No matter the size of the challenge ahead, they were a team, and together, they could face anything.

"Paris, here we come!" Ed shouted, his voice filled with confidence.

And as Insectosaurus raced toward the new adventure, he knew that their story was far from over.
