He'd started out fighting the dragon, but after being knocked to the ground for the third time, Tony was getting frustrated. He drew back, pausing before his next rush, and came to a conclusion that stopped it completely.

"You know, I don't think this is working."

And that was what pulled him away from the fight. There had to be some other way, some resource they were lacking, because as far as he could tell, the giant monster wasn't all that impressed by their efforts. Or maybe that's just what dragons with the title "World Eater" did when they got a papercut. Either way, he was taking a better look around. Maybe, like the whole hero attempt, they hadn't been the first ones to do this. He moves back, away from the battle, over the open plains. Why did that area seem better off?
