Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed, reviewed or viewed this fic so far.

Chaos Sorcerer: Thanks, man! Yeah, I agree. It was a little rough around the edges. Glad you loved my portrayal of Spidey and his quips. And I think Mr. Daredevil is a cute nickname. I hope I got the Matt/Peter relationship from the comics right. I heard the theory two months ago while I was writing 'The Devil of Star City.' We'll see about Catwoman and the other rogues mentioned. One or two of them may appear before the end of Arrow Season 1. I personally loved Anne Hathaway's portrayal of Catwoman. But I think Scarlett Johannson would do a good job too as she is amazing as Black Widow. But Kate Beckinsale does seem like a good Catwoman. What do you think if Uma Thurman plays her? Glad you liked the Black Cat reference. Some Marvel villains might come around too.

Warning- Graphic portrayal of violence

Chapter 10- A crocodile in Hell's sewers

Ma, Tony, Eddie, Bobby and Carlo were gathered around the headless body of Dino, laid on a table. They paid their respects to him.

Ma angrily torn to shreds the note that had been left on the body. The note had said- "You will fund my undertaking or each day, some of you will suffer the wrath of this Killer Croc as this creature calls himself."

"That archer will pay", said Ma, "He will pay and so will this monster he has unleashed."


Matt walked towards his old firm. 'Nelson and Murdock' was over now, but that building was still where he worked as a lawyer. Due to traffic, he stopped on the footpath for a while, near a manhole.

Suddenly, he heard something like a growl from inside the manhole. He did not fear it, but he was puzzled about what was making the sound. He could also hear a heartbeat from down there. The growl sounded like that of an animal but the heartbeat seemed to indicate the person was a human.

The traffic cleared and Matt walked away, deciding to ignore whatever it was for now.


At night, two members of the Gnucci mafia smoked in an alley.

"So what do you think killed Dino?" one of them asked the other, indicating that Ma kept most of the info hidden from the thugs used by the family.

"I don't know", said the other one, "But in all honesty, it seems like it was an animal because the head was definitely ripped off."

Suddenly, they heard a growl from behind them and saw a large shadow below them which seemed to be growing larger.

As they looked up, they didn't even have time to gasp as Killer Croc landed near them and picked up the first by the throat.

"HELP US!" yelled the other, taking out his gun and firing. The bullets ricocheted off Killer Croc's chest harmlessly as he ripped off the thug's head with his teeth and ate it up. He then gobbled up the remaining body as the other thug screamed in horror.


Daredevil was crouched on a building when he heard the thug's scream and the gunshots. As he jumped from building to building to reach the spot, he heard the heartbeat of the thing from the manhole.

He then jumped to another building and realized what had caused the commotion. The other thug was swatted away by Killer Croc.

Daredevil wondered how this weird creature had come to be. But he pushed the thoughts to the back of his head and leapt down.

He landed between the thug and Killer Croc.

"Devil of Hell's Kitchen", growled Killer Croc, "Do not come between Killer Croc and his prey."

In response, Daredevil threw his club at Killer Croc. It deflected off his chest and returned to his hand. As Killer Croc ran at him, Daredevil slid through his legs and was now behind him.

Before Croc could turn, Daredevil leapt at him and grabbed him in a chokehold. During this time, the thug sat in his car and drove away.

Killer Croc angrily staggered around, trying to shake off Daredevil who held onto him. He then managed to grab Daredevil's hand and threw him off. He hit a wall and fell down.

As he jumped at him, Daredevil rolled away again and got up. He then kicked Killer Croc behind the knee, making him stagger a little.

Daredevil now realized his opponent wasn't so invincible after all. His limbs were his weak spots. Killer Croc tried to swat him away with his tail but Daredevil flipped in the air and avoided it.

Killer Croc turned around and tried swatting him away but Daredevil flipped back to avoid him. He then threw the club at his leg and he staggered as it returned to him. He then ran at him and with a leap, hit his arm with the club. Killer Croc retracted the arm and reflexively gripped it with his other one.

He rapidly moved his face towards Daredevil, hoping to rip off his head but he flipped back again and with the cable between the sticks, tied up his neck, trying to suffocate him. Killer Croc gripped it with his hands and then using the cable like a lever, threw Daredevil away who once again hit the wall as Killer Croc freed himself of the cable and threw it away.

As Daredevil tried to get up, Killer Croc lifted him up by the throat to rip off his head. Daredevil then kicked him on his teeth and he staggered again, howling in pain. Daredevil then kicked the arm that had lifted him up with both feet and Killer Croc dropped him.

He then ran and collected his club. He then threw it at Croc's leg and he staggered again. Killer Croc roared and lifted up a nearby car.

"CATCH THIS!"

He threw it at Daredevil who flipped into the air to avoid it. But as he landed, Killer Croc opened a manhole and jumped into the sewers.

Daredevil jumped after him but Killer Croc was a natural swimmer due to his powers and was already too far off. The stench in the sewers repelled Daredevil and he angrily climbed back up.

As he breathed the fresh air again, he wondered how to stop this new threat. But now he did know that Killer Croc was after the Gnuccis. What he couldn't tell was the reason.


Killer Croc came out of the water after some time and howled in a rage. Unfortunately, once he sniffed someone, he remembered that person's scent and could track him from many miles away. And now his latest victim would be Daredevil.

"I will catch you now, Daredevil", he said, "But first, some other people need to be eaten."


Ma's eyes burnt with rage as she was told about Killer Croc's latest attack.

"Go out with your best weapons!" she commanded, "Hunt him down! And kill him!"

"Mother, are you sure about this?" asked Bobby, "This creature is powerful!"

"He killed your uncle!" she told him bluntly, "And he will face OUR wrath for that!"

But suddenly, they heard a roar outside.

The door suddenly broke into pieces as Killer Croc entered the lair.

"IT'S TIME FOR MY DINNER!"

"Fire!" commanded Ma.

Everyone fired at him but once again, the bullets ricocheted off his scales. Some of them fired at his legs and managed to slow him down slightly.

Killer Croc angrily swatted away some thugs and leapt into the air. He landed on some thugs, flattening them.

One of them got close to him and fired point blank at his leg with an automatic. Killer Croc roared in pain and angrily lifted him up. He then ripped off his head with his teeth and ate it up. He then gobbled up the headless body too.

Unfortunately for the Gnuccis, Killer Croc used to be a gangster before being incarcerated in Arkham Asylum. He picked up the automatic and started firing at the Gnuccis.

Many of them died instantly as they were pierced by several rounds. Bobby ducked and tried to crawl his way towards Killer Croc to shoot at his feet.

Big mistake!

Killer Croc spotted him and with a leap, flattened him.

"NO!" cried out Ma at the loss of her son.

To rub salt in the wound, Killer Croc picked up the flattened body and ate it up.

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" she yelled as Carlo brought a grenade launcher.

He fired it at Killer Croc. It exploded on his face and there was a lot of smoke. As the smoke cleared, they saw Killer Croc lying on the ground, not moving an inch.

Carlo cautiously walked up to the body to check if he was dead or not. He put his fingers in front of Croc's nose. There was no breathing.

Turning to the others, he said with a smirk, "He's dead!"

It seemed like Fate wanted to mock Carlo as at that very moment, Killer Croc rose up with an ear-deafening roar. He lifted Carlo and ripped off his head with his teeth, eating him up too.

"NO! MY BOY!" cried out Ma in agony.

As her men fired at Killer Croc again, he slashed them with his claws and flattened them with leaps, before eating up their remains and spitting out any clothes, buttons and belongings.

"What should we do, mother?" Eddie asked her, trying to not break down at the loss of his two brothers.

Seeing the deaths of all the men around her along with her two sons, she realized that there was no way out. But maybe there was one way.

"Transfer the money!" she said to a man, "Do it now!"

The man quickly ran into a room in the corner and came out with a tablet in which he started typing. Killer Croc swatted away the table overturned behind which they were hiding and glared at Ma, Tony, Eddie and the thug.

He lifted up Eddie first.

"NO! NO! WAIT!" Ma cried out desperately in fear for her remaining son, attracting his attention, "We are transferring the money."

Killer Croc stopped and looked at the three. The thug pressed a button and the transfer was done.

Ma took the tablet from him and showed it to Killer Croc, "Look! We transferred the money! Now let him go!"

Killer Croc slowly started lowering Eddie. Ma sighed in relief. Relief turned to horror as Killer Croc suddenly moved Eddie towards his mouth and ripped off his head with his teeth before eating him up.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Tony pulled Ma back as the thug was sliced by his claws and eaten up.

Ma and Tony opened a back door and ran out as fast as they could. Killer Croc looked at the remains of some of the thugs around him which he had not eaten up and decided not to pursue the two remaining Gnuccis as he could eat them up later after he had eaten up all these remains first. Besides, the money had been transferred.


Ma fell on her knees, wailing in agony, as Tony tried to comfort her vainly.

The once powerful crime boss was broken now, from the outside and from the inside. She had lost all her resources. The remainder of her money had been transferred to the archer. She had refused to fund him because he had not killed Daredevil and because of their recent war with Two-Face. And in return, he had sent something far more horrifying than Daredevil, Two-Face and even himself to destroy them. All her thugs were dead and gobbled up. Her brother and three sons were eaten up by the monster they had escaped. Tony alone was not enough for her to be at peace after all this. At least not while she lived.

She slowly picked up her gun and jammed it to her own head.

"MA! NO!" Tony yelled out as he ran towards her to stop her.

BANG!

It was too late as Ma's lifeless body toppled to the floor. Tony looked at the body, horrified. After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, he ran off into the dark and cold night. Later that night, Killer Croc arrived there after having eaten up the remains of the thugs. And then, he feasted on Ma's remains.

After eating her up, he roared and declared something to his absent opponent.

"Devil of Hell's Kitchen!" he said, "I shall feast on you tomorrow night and only then will I be satisfied!"


Malcolm sat in his office and smiled on seeing all the money transferred to him. With the transfer done, the Gnuccis had finally served their purpose. If they had sent him the money earlier, he have cut all ties with them but he would not have done this. But because of their decision to not send it to him, he had made Killer Croc kill them all.

Now he hoped the monster's presence distracted Daredevil from his plan.

The plan that would soon come to fruition.


So I split the Killer Croc arc into two parts. The next part will be up soon. I hope you liked this.

In the most awful way possible, the Gnuccis have learnt not to piss off Malcolm Merlyn (or Killer Croc for the matter). At first, I thought to spare the Gnuccis so that they can play a minor role later. But I think killing them all is a good way of showing the insanity of Malcolm in whose eyes, their purpose has been served so they are no longer needed. Killer Croc, on the other hand, loves a good meal of human flesh.

Killer Croc's limbs and face are weak points so I think Daredevil can exploit them in a fight.

Please review. I always appreciate your feedback.
