The leader of the soldiers went to the front of the group, he crept closer, with the tranquilizer gun directed towards the hissing girl. Fox pressed herself hard against the wall behind her. "Go away, leave me alone!" she snarls.
"Come on darling, you need not be afraid." the leader says in a fake sweet voice. fox glancing down toward the water next to her and see bubbles, she grins and looks up at the leader soldier, she says. "I'm not afraid, but you should be."
just as she utters the last word, a large mass shooting up out of the water with a deafening roar and crash into the soldiers. Fox climb up on Killer Croc's back and the two begin to tear the soldiers limb from limb. Blood splatters the walls and the ceiling in the dark sewer, the soldiers' screams of pain and the sound of bones being crushed echoes.
when everything is over and all the soldiers are lifeless, scattered in the tunnel. while fox and Killer Croc recover they look at their destruction. "It was easier than I thought." Fox says, she bumps her head against his and climbs down from her reptilian friend's back.
Croc stretches his back and kicks the nearest soldier thoughtfully. "Maybe a little too easy." fox tips her head and looks at him with innocent eyes. "Do you think whoever sent them, knew that we would ... eliminate them?" she asks worried.
Croc turns to her, "Whatever going on, I do not like it." he rumble. in their discussion they accidentally drop their guard and that was a big mistake.
a bang and Croc jerk forward on one knee, in his shoulder is a tranquilizer dart. Fox gasps and comes closer to him. croc stands in front of the fox and hide her from the new threat, but the arrow has already taken effect and he was sway unsteadily.
Croc takes a deep breath, he unsteadily stands up and growls at Fox while he turns around. "Run!" she looks at his back in despair and grabs his arm, but before she can say anything as he shrugs his arm loose and roars. "run now!" he attacks the soldier who shot him.
Fox jumps fast and smooth up among the pipes, she gazes into the croc's eyes for confirmation, he nods and slams his big arm in the soldier chest. She hesitates but does as her only friend says.
Killer Croc Pov
I see my tiny friend running along the pipes and disappear in the labyrinth of sewers. I snort angrily against the soldier, I feel my awareness dwindled, but I want to give fox a little more time, I hear the sound of heavy boots stomping on the wet stone path.
a new wave of black dressed soldiers running around the corner and surround me. I sway and fall almost nose first on the ground, but I catch myself. I utter a roar and throws at them, they shoot me with more darts and I fall to the ground right in front of the soldiers before I could injure a single soldier.
I panted and struggle to stay awake. one of the soldiers step up to me and bends down toward my face. "Group gamma all wiped out, epsilon group managed to secure the target B, awaiting further orders." a man says in his communication link, while the person who crouches at my face.
"Ugly bastard this one." he says mockingly, and poke my head with his gun barrel, I growl and try to swipe my claws toward his face, but at this point I could not move at all. He ties together my arms and legs in chains and laughs but stops when his commander steps up to me. "Stop, you idiot, we do not know how long the darts will work. Set up him up." he says sternly.
the soldier obey and go to carry out his orders. the commander looks down at me with disgust, it dont affects me anymore, everyone who has seen me gives me the same look, well everyone except my fox. I growl when I feel he gets too close. "You will help us capture your cute little friend, then to jail with you both." he says.
I stiffen, that was why they sent the first group, the knew that we would kill them to protect us. Now there is reason to arrest us. I start trying to wiggle free myself, because I knew she would come to help me, and then it will be over.

I sneak around among pipes above swarming soldiers. there were many more than we thought. I know all the tunnels by heart and take a route that will take me around and back to where they took out croc, I have to help him, I refuse to continue without him, but I can not beat everyone on my own they would shoot me before I took out the first one.
Suddenly I feel a vibration that I recognize, Croc can make these sounds can not be heard but can be felt, most people can not feel them either, but I can, my big pointy ears is not just for show.
I change direction and move to the vibration. I walk into a room, in the middle of the room is croc chained. I gasp and jump almost to the ground but I smell the soldiers and hesitates. I sink deeper into the shadows.
three entre into my sight, and they walk straight up to Croc, the middle man has a file in his hand. I hear his is rumbling growl when they stop in front of him,
"Waylon Jones raised by an alcoholic aunt who is now missing. was part of a circus for a while before it burned down with the rest of the circus troupe ... disappeared and many years later found in Gotham sewers with a young girl with fox ears. "
Killer Croc Pov
I stare at the idiots in front of me, he has a stupid ass grin on his face as he reads from my file. "Maybe you can answer why you hang around little girls?" I snorts at him, but give him no more in reply, Fox is not as innocent as she looks. as he continued to read, I look for Fox, I can smell her in the room. I glanced up at the ceiling and see a flick of her tail.
"Talking about your friend, there is not much about her, apart from." I snap back to the soldier when he mentions fox. "You know nothing about her." I growl threatening and baring my teeth at him. he smirks smugly raising an eye brow. "Oh sensitive topic, tell me what is she to you? Girlfriend, daughter, perhaps a victim?" I groan and try to ignore them, "she's quite beautiful, rocking body too, would not say no to a ride in bed with her.
I lose it and throw myself at him snapping my jaws, hissing I warn. "Listen, fuck-face, if you touch a single hair on her tail, I will tear you into little pieces and swallow them as my dinner." I roar. to my dislike, he dont react only continues to grin at me, he signs to one of his men who have a cattle prod.
I snorts again. "Do you think a weak ass taser can hurt me?" I mock them with my own grin. the man with the file glares at me "this is no ordinary stun gun." he says, nodding to the other.

I whimper when I hear Croc roar in pain, he tightens his fists and his body stiff. I close my eyes and dont open them again until Croc becomes quiet. "Is that all you have, weak shit?" he gasps out with a grin. the soldier snatches the weapon from the other's hand and drives it hard in croc's belly. I try to keep quiet but I cant when my friend is in so much pain. I give my own roar and tackle the man with the weapon and tear out his throat with my fangs.
I turn around, hissing with blood dripping from my mouth crouched over my kill, the other two backs away shocked. I jump over to Croc and tries to free him, but before I get far I hear the thundering footsteps. I stand shielding him and turn around. more than seventeen standing there all with tranquilizer guns in their hands.
"Hello there, sweetheart." a young proud soldier says who is along the front. I launch towards him but I do not go far, they shoot I try to jump away all but gets at least four darts in me. I fall to the ground, dizzy and unsteady crawl to Croc and lay myself close to him.
the soldiers surround us, the proud one stands in front of us with his hands on hips. "Now you play by our rules." he says while we are dragged away in chains.
