People stared. People stared LOTS.
"All right you!" said one of the bullies from earlier, now armed with a baseball bat and reinforcements. "You don't interrupt our fun! Get him!"
"He's freaking ten feet tall," pointed out one of the reinforcements. "You said someone in a Gojira suit, but he's got to be pretty big to operate a suit like that!"
GojiRanma blinked at that. What to do? He had no problem with scaring bullies off, but there was a crowd gathered again and some of them were rolling videotape.
"Help me, Gojira! They're gonna hurt me again!" cried out Hotaru, trying to hide behind him.
"Greannnnnn," said GojiRanma. Maybe a warning shot across the bow. "GREANNNNNNNN!" FWUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
The bullies looked at the glowing line of melted asphalt just ahead of their group. They looked up at the "guy in the Gojira suit", and back down again.
"Uhm," said one of the bullies. "I got band practice, ya know."
"Yeah, and I kinda promised I'd help my mother paint the kitchen," said another bully.
"Isn't it about time for 'Bart Simpson, Cosmic Ranger' on TV?" asked a third bully.
"I gotta study, there's a algebra test next Tuesday," said a fourth.
"Hey!" said the lead bully. "It's just a suit, and it's just that freak. What are you afraid of?"

P-toooo! WHANG!
Having just spat the wad of pulped wood into an open trashbasket, GojiRanma simply grinned. Not his fault if the guy stuck that bat over the line.
"RUN AWAY!" said most of the bullies.
Hotaru was happy. For the first time in her life, she had a friend!
Okay, he was Gojira-sama. Still...
Gojira also seemed to think there was something wrong with their house as he kept looking at it funny. The crowd still kept a distance, but she smiled and flashed a "V" sign at them, and that seemed to hit a chord.
Then her Papa came out of the house and gaped at what she'd brought home.
"Papa-san! I'm home!" exclaimed Hotaru.
"Hm hm hm, heh heh heh, BWA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Greann?" said Gojira.
"He always does that," explained Hotaru. "You get used to it."
"Greannn," said GojiRanma, a little more uncertainly.
Professor Tomoe took in the sight of Gojira, Hotaru, and a crowd of people standing right outside his property line videotaping this and decided:
