Synopsis:
The Challengers return to Challengers Mountain and discover the place wrecked. June is also missing. They look outside and find that June has grown into a giant. The dazed June attacks them briefly before passing out.

A giant beast then attacks the Challs. They are able to fend it off until June recovers. The giant June and the daredevils track the monster to a nearby village. June duels the beast, and the Challs help by hosing it down with water. The monster begins shrinking, as does June, after the growth effects have worn off. The beast was a microbe grown to giant proportions by a accidental experiment June was working on.
