With a triumphant snarl, CrocoKill lunged forward, still clutching the girl in one hand. He slammed Buster Fist to the ground, the girl in its claw sobbing as it did. Fear, the sight of a hero being smashed to the ground... she was terrified and in horror of what she was witnessing. CrocoKill's lips curled back in a wide grin as it pinned Buster Fist to the ground with one foot, knowing the hero could do nothing to it as long as it held the girl.

"Heh, you know... I feel like you could have killed me by now," it growled, clutching the girl tighter. She let out a pained yelp, feeling how tight his grip was. So close to crushing her... "But you won't, as long as I have her, will you?"

The crocodile monster let out guttural laughter.

"Her last moments will be watching me devour your flesh... and then, I'll eat her alive," it continued, grinning wider, showing off its razor sharp fangs. CrocoKill raised one clawed hand, nails gleaming in the sunlight...

... And then the hand gripping the girl slackened, and fell limply to the side. The girl rolled out of its claws, across the sand, bewildered, and still in tears, but unharmed.

"... Wh... what...?"

CrocoKill stared in shock.

And slowly, slowly, began to realize just how doomed it was.
