“You have a plan? What plan?”
“No time. Just follow me”
The two superbeings rocketed in the sky. “There. The Thunder Gazette building, across the river. Detach the globe from the top, and make it roll over the bridge. I’ll bring the beast there.”
Hero leaped away, back to where the beast was screming enraged. “Come on kitticat, follow me!” Hero was running back and forth on the main street leading to the Kathoek Bridge. The only above-surface connection point between the twin cities of Promethean and Thunder.
As the superhero came running over the bridge, followed by the towering monster, he yelled, with thunderous voice “Strike!”
From the top of the Gazette Building, Quinn threw the giant, golden, globe. The enormous ball spinned in air, and then landed over the big, steel bridge, heading at mad speed toward hero and the beast. At the last instant, Hero leaped in air, while the ball crashed in a cloud of dust over the giant sized lizard.
“Quick, come here” shouted Hero. As the reptilian monster was getting back over its feet, even more crazy, the two superheroes met under the bridge. “Now we take down the bridge, Quinn” explained Hero, “and let the geko to drown in the bay”.
“But…” started Stevens, but a gesture of Hero stopped him.
“No time to talk, man” said Hero, starting to punch the steel pylons with the power of an hydraulic maul.
Seemingly perplexed, the other young man joined him in the desperate manouver, sending wave of silver glowing energy toward the bridge.
And, as much as it was a visibly impossible task, the bridge collapsed, taking down the lizard with it, down in the abyss of the bay.
The two men slapped the hand in air. “We did it!” yelled Hero, a broad smile on his face.
But suddenly the water below began to gurgle, and the lizard came out of the water in a fluid, graceful yet powerful jump. The monster fangs snapped just inches from the two heroes.
“Fuck!” yelled Hero.
“It looks it’s amphibious” merely stated Quinn Stevens.
