JohnnyChany Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 BATMAN/GARGOYLES CROSSOVER Part XXV Summary: With all the inmates freed from Arkham Asylum, Batman had more than he could he handle. Even with the help of his usual allies like Robin and Nightwing, the Dark Knight was overwhelmed. Alfred sought out a new ally, David Xanatos, who has come forth ready to offer a helping hand along with the Manhattan Gargoyle Clan. On a street rooftop, Demona pulled an arrow from her back and then lifted Huntress by the throat.The heroine’s costume was torn and she was bleeding from the mouth and the sides. “When will you pathetic humans learn? You can’t beat me! In fact, I should end your miserable life right now.†Huntress glared at her attacker.“Then stop talking and do it already,†she spit. “Tempting but no. It has become painfully clear that you costumed goofs are going to pursue me as long as I’m here. I might need you for leverage until I can find Thailog.†With a sickening thud, Demona knocked out Huntress and placed the Bird of Prey over her shoulder. She looked around. Demona wondered if some nosy costumed woman was lurking behind every corner. She thought it best to take her travels underground. Demona glided to the street level, lifted a man hole cover, and descended into the sewers with her captive. Frustration exploded with every stomp through the Gotham City sewers. Since Demona had lost contact with Thailog, she didn’t even know where to begin to look for him. She pondered as she looked over the unconscious woman on her shoulder. Perhaps she should stash Huntress in a safe place for now. “Is that who I think it is?†bellowed a voice from behind the gargoyle. Demona looked behind her shoulder to see a massive reptilian creature behind her. “Is that Huntress?†asked Killer Croc. “Is that this human’s name? I didn’t bother to ask.†“You did that to her?†“Yes. She got in my way. If you have a problem with it I can give you more of the same,†Demona threatened. Killer Croc laughed. “Problem with it? I think it’s great. She’s never looked better. In fact she looks good enough to eat.†“Back off scale face, this human is sticking with me,†said Demona. “What do you need her for?†Croc wondered. “Insurance. These costumed heroes are like cockroaches. They keep showing up everywhere.†Croc snorted. “Tell me about it. Ever since I was busted out of Arkham I expected to see the Bat, but instead I have been harassed by all different sorts of do-gooders. They won’t let me eat in peace. I was even attacked by a damn gold robot.†Killer Croc hesistated as he looked to his left. “I’ve got two tough broads chasing me right now. I really want to tear them to shreds, but together they are just too strong. Especially the big girl. I hate hiding. If only...†Croc returned his attention to Demona. “Wait a minute..†“Forget about it,†snapped Demona. “Not interested.†“Aww come on, if you help me out I will help you out,†offered Croc. “There has to be something you want.†Demona lifted an eyebrow. “I could use a guide. You are familiar with this city?†Croc smiled. “I know this entire stink hole like it was my back yard.†A short distance away, the Outsiders, Thunder and Grace Choi, were closing in. “We’ve got him on the run,†boasted Grace. “As soon as we take down Croc we can report back to Nightwing, and maybe get in on some real action.†“Those claws and teeth looked pretty real to me,†said Thunder. “Don’t worry, we’ve got this,†Grace assured. Grace Choi suddenly stopped Thunder with her arm. “Hold on. I smell fresh blood.†A growl echoed through the sewers. “Our friend is back,†Thunder announced. An unfamiliar screech followed the growl. Killer Croc and Demona charged at the heroines. “Looks like he found a friend,†said Grace. “Anissa, get ready.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSkillz Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Good set-up, JohnnyChany. Since Kiier Croc was able to beat Coyote (who the Manhattan Clan was usually only able to take down as a group), he must be the modern, stronger bullet-proof version in this arc. Still, after reading up and Grace and Thunder, even he and Demona may be outmatched here one-on-one. The way I see this one, Croc goes down fairly quickly and Demona, who usually quickly recoginizes when she's outmatched, escapes to fight another day.
