"Dammit." Edna cursed, wiping sweat from her brow. Half of the device she'd made had already needed to be replaced. Every time she replaced a burnt out or worn wire or circuit she pointed it to something in the room and fired, hopeful that the device was now repaired enough to work. She didn't know how much time had passed. Hours maybe. Thankfully Trish seemed to be having the time of her life destroying half the world, unaware of all the time she'd spent doing so. Faintly Edna heard the titaness's voice from across the planet demand worship. It only pushed her to work harder.
Ruthie was no longer outside. In the small chance Edna couldn't make it the giantess proactively thought to help evacuate the town. Quiet Rock was almost entirely empty now aside from Edna. At her request Ruthie was now placing buildings into the large mountain that was Trish's shoe. In the event Edna wouldn't make it in time this would at least fool the mega giantess into thinking the town was now trapped in her shoe. Everyone may survive long past that, but it was better than nothing.
"Come on!" Edna fired a test beam again. The couch that got shrunk down to near microscopic size then quickly bounced back to twice its height. "No..." The geek girl sighed. What was she missing? She made this device once before already. It should be easy.
She was so lost in her frustration she didn't even notice the door fling open until a shout filled her ears. "Edna!"
"Huh?" Edna turned around; standing in the doorway was the only other genius at her school: Mizuki. "Mizu? What are you doing here?"
"Don't waste time." The asian girl frowned, "I'm here to fix your little mistake before that ignoramus shows up again."
"Thanks but..."
"If you have time to talk then get to work! Honestly, no wonder you let this happen with an attitude like this." The girl pulled a seat forward and took a single glance at the inner workings of the device in Edna's hands. "Half of your conductors are utter garbage, we need to swap them out. Otherwise this thing will never hold a charge long enough to actually shrink something."
"Of course! How could I be so stupid?!"
"You're not me." Mizu smirked.
Together with the young asian Edna felt her second wind coming. All her frustrations and pressure went away. If she had the time to get upset she wasn't working hard enough. With the help the size gun repairs were finally on their way to completion. It felt like no time had passed since Mizuki showed up before the girl now held the completed device in her hands.
"With this we can fix everything." Mizuki muttered, adjusting the dials on the device.
"I couldn't have done this without you Mizu but...how did you know it was me?"
"Wasn't hard. You're the only halfway intelligent person I've met in this country. Plus that giant bimbo shouted "Geek Girl" at least a dozen times."
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me. I just have better things to do than end up crushed beneath someone's foot."
Boom.
Fairly consistent booms had been going on for the last few hours. It wasn't new, but for some reason both girls grew quiet.
Boom.
Another boom, much closer. It didn't take a genius to figure out what that meant.
}Boom!
"Why hello my little germs. Are you all ready to meet your fate?" A thunderous voice giggled high above. Trish had returned.
First to react, Edna ran out the door quickly followed by Mizuki. The skyline was blocked out by the giant punk's eager toes.
"Mizuki!"
"On it!" The asian girl readied the gun and...
