"Uh, hey, pal," Doug muttered, sounding distracted as he flew in circles above the battlezone, his eagle-eyes peering down at his newfound friends who had their hands full with "Godzilla" again. "I really gotta set ya down somewhere."
Doug swooped down onto the roof of the Kamphausen Towers, a short, squat building with pretensions of grandeur. Captain Midnight leapt onto the roof from Doug's back. "Stay outta trouble fer now, alright? I'll come back for ya later, bud!" Doug shouted over his shoulder as the colors of his feathers changed into the red, white, and blue patterns of the U.S. flag. "I gotta save my adopted country again!" he added.
"Godspeed, good sir!" Captain Midnight shouted as he held his right hand in a firm salute. "Godspeed..."
Doug frowned in concentration as he sped towards the monster, which had already gotten back up on its feet and was heading for the downtown core. He saw Quinn Stevens and Hero attacking the lizard with mixed success. "Seems I gotta save their asses again. Ain't that always the way? Now how did that scene in Empire Strikes Back go, again?"
Doug screeched a bald eagle's cry as he "divebombed" his two new friends and swept past them, heading at groundlevel for the creature's legs. As he passed the right leg, Doug's own right talon stretched out and hooked onto the monster's scaly skin. It continued to stretch as Doug flew in a wide circle around the creature's legs, moving around the back and then to the front several times in a row, until he was wrapped around the monster's legs like an elastic band. "Oh FUCK this stings!" Doug muttered as he was stretched further than he ever remembered before.
The giant lizard was still after the foodstuffs that had hurt it and did not notice anything around its legs until it began to stumble.
"TIM-BERRRRR!" Doug yelled as the giant lizard began to fall forward.
Quinn Stevens and Hero both began to shout, "NO! STOP!"
It was too late, though. "Godzilla" heaved forward once again, this time falling directly into downtown Promethean City like a drunken homeless man would fall into a trashcan-strewn alley. As it fell to the ground, it took several skyscrapers down with it.
"Shit," Doug muttered as he realized what he just did.
The giant lizard was down for the second time in the last few minutes, and a bit woozy, but not yet out. In fact, it was madder than hell.
