Croc fell back as Lexi's bare foot slammed into his face.
The rough scales had sliced up her heel so it was hard to tell who's blood was on his face the most.
Terry lay in the mud, his head and legs throbbing.
Lexi and Croc were a blur of fists,claws and blood.
Terry pulled himself up as much as he could on his broaken legs and hobbled toward them.
He pulle a battarang from the hidden compartment in his belt and poised, ready to throw.
@@@
Samson and Marty stared down the hole.
They could hear screaming at the bottom, but was it really the girl?
"So," Samson said, "how are we gonna get down there?"
"We're not! I dunno if I mentioned dis before, but I'm afraid of heights. Anyway if that girls down there," He listened
to the screams, "She's gettin her payback from Croc."
"Oh really?" A wild gleam came into samson's eyes. "I think you should investigate! Break your fear of falls!"
"Wha...Samson hold on a sec... Samson! NO!"
KA-BLAM!KA-BLAM!KA-BLAM!
The bullets ripped into Marty's wirey frame and he fell backwards, into the chasm.
@@@
Everything stopped.
Croc stared up.
Lexi paused, blood and mud covering every inch of her.
Terry lowered his battarang.
Gunshots?
People?
Gradualy they could make out the form of a figure flying at them.
Screaming.
Just as Lexi realised that the figure was covered in bullet-holes it slammed into the Lazarus pit.
Green goo splashed out and a swirel of blood trickled to the top.
"I don't think the pit's doing him any good."
Terry starred at the pit.
Then, just as Croc made a last lunge at Lexi, Terry let his battarang fly.
It sliced into Croc's head, just next to his right eye in a soft stretch of scaleless skin.
He fell to the ground moaning and, almost simultaneously, Lexi collapsed.
Terry wrapped his arm around the two and fired a grapnel up to the ceiling above the chasm.
@@@
Samson heard the splash at the bottom and smiled.
"See ya latter Marty."
He pulled the rose out of his button loop and tossed it into the pit, then turned and left the cavern.
If he had waited just a few seconds more he would have seen the cable dig into the ceiling and three of his worst enemies come
up.
No one saw the fourth one come.
