[Question: Why is the Once-ler like an old collar button?
Answer: Because they both choke. And had Eddie choked back when that Dark Knight impostor was still a threat, he'd surely be dead by now. This little monster... she isn't a girl. Not anymore. Which means that he can't afford to hold anything back.
He drags the drone girl off the Once-ler and sends her tumbling back down to the ground just a few steps away.
And before either the Once-ler or his little demon friend can even utter a syllable of protest, before Eddie can second-guess himself, he whips his cane back and strikes her hard in the temple. Then he strikes her once more for good measure. And after a violent convulsion or two, she stops moving altogether.
Splashes of scarlet trickle along the golden question-mark handle as he takes a heavy breath to calm himself. Then he rushes back to the Once-ler, hurriedly offering a hand to pull him back up to his feet.]
