So now I wrap up the Killer Croc arc.
Chapter 11- Crocodile's last days in Hell
It was 6 P.M. The sky was getting dark. Matt was sitting in his firm, reading some case files in braille and deciding what to do.
He was still worried about the situation with Killer Croc. The creature was too strong and durable. And he was a natural swimmer so in a sewer, he could escape any time. That, plus the stench in the sewers was worse for him that other people because of his enhanced smell.
He suddenly heard a thud from a distance and a growl. He then heard heavy footsteps and the heartbeat of Killer Croc.
And then the wall of his firm burst open as Killer Croc stood there.
"I will feast on your flesh tonight, Devil of Hell's Kitchen!" he said.
He charged at Matt who flipped behind him. He strained his senses a little and breathed a sigh of relief on hearing people running away in fear of Killer Croc. Because that way, none of them would see him in action.
Killer Croc's charge had broken his table. Before Killer Croc could turn back, he quickly picked up a broken leg of the table and hit Croc's leg hard, making him stagger a little.
As Croc turned, he once again hit his leg and then his arm. Croc tried to slash him but he ducked and hit his foot again. He then leapt high and hit Croc on the head with it who staggered back.
He tried to hit again but this time, Croc gripped it with his hand and snatched it away. He tried to hit Matt with it who flipped back to avoid. As Croc tried to hit again, he flipped and landed on the table leg. He then leapt from there and gave Croc a flying kick to the jaw, who staggered back.
As Matt landed on the ground, Killer Croc recovered. Before Matt could do a thing, Croc smacked him with the table leg, smashing it into pieces and sending him flying off by a few feet.
Matt flew through the giant hole Killer Croc had made on entering and landed outside.
His glasses had been thrown off. He struggled to get up. Then he heard Killer Croc running towards him. That moment, he got up. As Killer Croc was a few feet from him, he flipped into the air and landed on his head.
Killer Croc staggered around, trying to throw him off. They ended up near some stairs that lead to the top of a building. Matt leapt off Croc's head onto the stairs and started leaping towards the top. He needed to get to his house quickly.
There were no people near his firm as they had ran off in fear of Croc but he still wasn't going to take chances.
He leapt up to the top of the building and ran towards the edge from where he jumped to the other roof. Killer Croc followed him. He leapt from building to building but Croc kept following him. He was now on a partially constructed building where several rods and rebars were still lying around.
He then decided to use a different tactic. He turned around and slid under Croc's feet. Before Croc could turn back, he picked up a rebar and drove it into Croc's feet. Croc gave an ear-deafening roar and staggered before kneeling down.
But Matt knew this wouldn't stop him for long. He leapt off that building and didn't stop till he reached his house. There, he quickly opened his box and wore his suit before putting on his helmet. He kept his club on his belt and jumped out of his window onto a nearby building.
And then he waited for Croc. A growl and his heartbeat from the distance was enough for Daredevil to know Croc was coming.
Croc leapt from a distant building. Between him and Daredevil were two buildings but he managed to cross them in one leap. His leg was now fully healed, as if the rebar had never pierced it.
"Now my teeth will pierce your flesh, Daredevil!" he said.
He once again moved his face towards Daredevil to gobble him up but Daredevil threw his club and it hit his jaw, making him stagger back as Daredevil caught his club.
This Killer Croc was strong, fast, ruthless, dangerous and had a healing factor but he was stupid which was why Daredevil he repeatedly used the same tactics against Daredevil and was beaten back in the same ways.
Daredevil then kicked Killer Croc's leg in a spin motion and then he kicked it again in a spin motion from the other side. He then flipped and kicked the leg again. As Croc staggered back, he ripped off a water tank and threw it at Daredevil who was running at him. Daredevil slid on his knees as the tank passed over his head and fell down the roof.
As he got up though, Croc picked him up by the throat. This time, Daredevil had the club in his hand and tied up his neck with the cable, trying to suffocate him again. As Croc let him go, he leapt around him and tied his neck even more, hoping to suffocate him enough for him to go down. He then stood behind him, having tied up his neck tightly with the cable.
"Why are you killing the Gnuccis?" he asked Killer Croc as he needed to solve that mystery.
"I'm not killing them!" Croc gasped aloud.
"What?" asked Daredevil.
"I already ate them all!"
"All?" asked Daredevil in horror.
"Oh! Not all!" Croc said as he remembered something, "The brother of that woman who lead them escaped."
Dino had been declared officially dead some time ago so it had to be Tony who had narrowly escaped Killer Croc's clutches.
At that moment, Killer Croc got up and threw Daredevil off him while giving an ear-deafening roar. Once again, he removed the cable from around his neck.
Before Daredevil could get up, Croc ran up to him and kicked him hard, sending him flying off the building and landing hard on the other.
Before he could get up, Croc jumped onto the building and picked him up by the throat. He was angered by this little human who had landed so many hits on him and nearly beaten him. So instead of eating him up directly, he then threw him down, preparing to crush him slowly with his foot. Daredevil deserved the most painful death ever for fighting him like that.
As he raised his foot to crush Daredevil, he roared again. That moment, his mouth was shut by a web.
"INCOMING!"
A swinging figure kicked him on the chest, throwing him off the roof. It was Spider-Man.
"Mr. Daredevil", he said as he helped him up, "You okay?"
"I think I will break a few things", said Daredevil dryly, "But other than that, I'm okay."
"What the hell is that?" asked Spider-Man.
"A giant man-eating crocodile", said Daredevil.
At that moment, Killer Croc leapt back up, a murderous glare in his eyes.
"I WILL EAT YOU, BOY!"
He rushed Spider-Man who also slid under his feet. He then trapped his legs in webbing and tripped him.
"Eat your heart out, Steve Miner", commented Spider-Man.
Killer Croc rose up and pounced on Spider-Man who leapt up and kicked him on the jaw, making him stagger back. Due to his superhuman strength, his hits damaged Croc a lot more than Daredevil. But that didn't mean Daredevil would stay out of the fight.
Daredevil leapt up and gave Croc a flying kick on the back of the head. He then flipped midair and hit Croc's head with the club, making him roar in anger. Spider-Man again shut his mouth with a web.
"You're more annoying than the crocodile who swallowed an alarm clock", Spider-Man joked, referring to a popular crocodile in pop culture for the second time in the fight.
As Croc lunged at him, he leapt off the roof and onto the ground where Croc followed him. The civilians screamed and backed in fear at the sight. Daredevil leapt off the roof and hit Croc with the club at the top of the head. He once again grabbed Croc from behind and vainly tried to choke him as Croc staggered around.
Spider-Man used took full advantage of the opportunity. He fired his webs at Croc and quickly tied them up large poles and walls of buildings nearby. Killer Croc slowed down due to the strength of the webs as Daredevil leapt off him.
As he tried to lunge at Spider-Man, he failed.
"Tic-toc, tic-toc", Spider-Man teased him.
He then leapt into the air and gave Croc a flying kick on the head, knocking him out.
"Great job, kid", said Daredevil as he patted his back, "And thanks for the assist."
"No problem, Mr. Daredevil. And thank you for the compliment", said Spider-Man, "You know, it's weird, as a kid, Lake Placid scared the crap out of me. I always found the crocodile very, very, scary, and now here I am, battling a humano-"
He stopped on realizing Daredevil wasn't next to him anymore. He wasn't in the vicinity.
"That is awesome!"
Tony Gnucci stood in an alley and smoked a cigarette. He was still shaken after the horrifying ordeal the previous day. All his thugs had been brutally slaughtered and eaten. His brother and nephews too. And his sister had put a bullet in her head.
He was now broken and aimless. Suddenly, Daredevil landed in front of him. In this state of depression, he couldn't even bring himself to attack the vigilante he had hated and feared.
"What do you want?" he asked in a resigned voice.
"Just tell me", said Daredevil, "Why did Killer Croc kill the Gnuccis?"
Tony knew it was no use hiding the info now. And now, maybe, Daredevil would track down the archer and beat hm.
"A few months ago, we were approached by an archer", he told Daredevil who was shocked to hear that but did a great job at hiding it, "He told us he would kill Daredevil if we funded him."
"Why did he want you to fund him?" Daredevil enquired.
"He said he was carrying out some kind of undertaking", said Tony, "He would build osme device to destroy a certain area. He wanted us to fund that in return for him killing Daredevil. But he didn't, and then we were attacked by Two-Face. So in anger, we decided to not transfer the money. In retaliation, he-"
"Sent Killer Croc to force you to transfer the money and then slaughter you all", Daredevil said in realization.
"Yes!" said Tony.
Daredevil could sense his inner depression so he decided that just letting him be was enough punishment for his misdeeds. He jumped up to a roof and jumped back home.
Next day, Matt called up Oliver.
"Yes Matt", said Oliver as he picked up the call, "I saw the thing with Killer Croc on TV. Are you all right?"
"I am fine", Matt assured him, 'But I have finally discovered what he did in Hell's Kitchen."
"What?" asked Oliver.
"Few months ago", Matt began, "He approached the Gnucci mafia and offered to kill me if they funded him in return. But he didn't and then there was the war with Two-Face. So they didn't fund him. In retaliation, he sent Killer Croc after them to force them to transfer the money and then slaughter them to tie up loose ends."
"Oh no!" Oliver gasped on the other end before asking what he most dreaded, "And why did he need funding from the Gnucci mafia?"
"He is carrying out an undertaking", revealed Matt, "One that will destroy a certain area with a device."
"What the hell?" was all Oliver could say.
"My investigation in Hell's Kitchen is done", said Matt matter-of-fact, "So now, in a while, I'm coming back to Starling City to help you stop him."
So now, Matt will be back in Starling City. I hope you liked the Two-Face arc and the two part Killer Croc arc. Now, we move back to Arrow Season 1. During this time, Oliver has recruited Felicity (who won't be a bad character in this fic as it takes place in Season 1), and he has beaten the Dodger.
So now we move on to 1x16.
Please review. I always appreciate your feedback.
