"Left hand, isn't it?" said Cristofori. "No, I don't have an idea, I just arrived in Genoa today, so I have no knowledge of the city. Um, yes, and there are demons and crocodiles and whatnot down here. We may want to keep moving."

"Oh, really? I could have sworn it was...eh." Sodom shrugged it off. "Oh, you're new here? I should have guessed from the accent. How do you like it here? Well, I guess it not much to see down here in..."
"DEMONS!?"

"Let's go," said Cristofori. "Left hand on the wall - move slowly so we don't make too much noise or hit anything."

"Right. Er, left." Sodom followed his instructions and started walking slowly.
"So, what's your name?"

Cristofori paused. "We should probably have our hands on the same wall. My name is Vladimir."

"Eh? But, I--oh, hi," Sodom said, stumbling his way to the other wall. "Vladimir, huh? That's funny, I always thought that was a vampire's na--"
Sodom stopped.
A fearsome roar shook what felt like the entire sewer system. "What the hell!? What's making that sound!?" Sodom lost footing and fell over Vladimir, knocking them both into the sewer water.

Cristofori threw Sodom off and surfaced, spluttering. "Idiot!" he said. "Watch where you're going!"
That's when it hit them.
Cristofori was picked up and rammed against the wall. Gasping for air, he stabbed futilely at the reptilian claw holding him. His daggers clanged off the sewer wall as his body went limp. Everything went black - er, well, everything stayed black.

Sodom heard a loud crash. Something had slammed something into...something by him. "Guy? Guy? Vlad? Vladimir, you okay?"
An almost sinister snarl whipped itself around. Sodom quickly covered his mouth, so as not to make anymore noise. In the dark, his heartbeat was so deafeningly loud to him, he felt it more than made up for any lack of sight the beast had. Reasoning with Vladimir worked...maybe reasoning could work with this, he thought.
"I...I like lizards." And it swallowed him whole.

Mary stayed still for a long while, not sure if he was the last person in the world who was alive.
When the lights had gone out he stumbled around, falling face first onto a small embanking and what he could only guess was hundreds upon thousands of spiderwebs. Suddenly the darkness was cut by a voice so heavenly that Mary Llama Onnet was sure that he had died and gone to a better place.
"Mary? Where the hell are you, you damned idiot?!"
"Here lord!" Mary mouthed, though it came out more like, "Murf".
The celestial being sighed, "Aiden...do you think we could have some light, I think Onnet is drowning...."

The gargantuan beast, now finished with the first part of its meal, now turned to the other prey.
GURGLE.
Horrible indigestion had hit the poor lizard, and he couldn't bare to think of eating. Now, aggravated, it only felt like killing more, for a later meal. Not often did meat this large drop into its lair.
"Mary? Where the hell are you, you damned idiot?!"
And there was food right ahead. The monster bellowed and charged.

Taylor felt around in the darkness a bit, before bumping into something at her feet. "Aiden, are you...". She was cut off by a distinct rumbling noise she had heard in the not too distant past.
"Shit...", Taylor murmured, dragging Aiden behind her. "Well, here goes nothing..." Just as the great beast lurched for it's fresh prey, a great black mass encompassed it. Threads tore themselves from Taylor's great gown, reassembling around the crocolisk's body. "DAMNIT, MARY, WAKE UP AND HELP ME!!" Taylor yelled, "BUT YOU BETTER NOT OPEN YOUR EYES!!".

The attempt to bind the beast was a clever tactic, but when in comparison to a gigantic crocodile, one girl's clothing would not be enough to stop it. The horrible creature wrestled its body in circles to snap the threads, and was free in no time. It surged forward to strike, and fell to its side, writhing.
It's breathing soon passed to wheezing, and it grew limp. A dry, dry husk of a previous behemoth. A desert, it was.

Aiden woke up in a terrible fit, bursting into flames as the crocolisk fell to the ground, and catching all fabricated material around the croc in flames. With the burst of light, the faces in the sewers became clear and distinct as could be determined by fire light. Mary lay with his head just surfaced above the water, Taylor stood naked, and a large fur ball which, she could only assume the worst, was Mimzy.
" Oh... Oh no..." She said quietly. Aiden glanced over at poor Taylor and blushed.
"Erm-- Here, take these.." She handed Taylor her cloak and a large peice of royal blue cloth. It was hard to tell anymore if it was an incredibly soft silk, or if the greasey fireproof herbal mixture had simpley sunked in to become part of the cloth. With the kelar fabric gone her flames brightened and grew, setting spiderwebs, rats, bats, bugs, and anything else in it's range to flames. She sighed and just stood there pissy. " No one poor water on me or I'll kill you" She said. Her skin was already a toxic orange color, but one could do their best to assume that it was the flames casting shadows on her skin.

"...unnh..." said Cristofori, lifting his head a fraction of an inch. "Hello? Sodom? Hello?" He groaned and let his head fall back into the sewage, which, fortunately, was rather shallow at that point. "What happened?" he wondered, lifting his hand to illuminate the surroundings. It was more or less what he remembered before - sewers - but now there were huge claw marks on the wall, as of some titanic being. Cristofori tried to think back - the last things he remembered were a sensation of a huge mass and a crushing force and dizziness - and then he realized, his eyes widening in shock. "Oh no! It happened again!" He lifted himself out of the water, looking around wildly. "Sodom! Sodom, I'm sorry!" he yelled, then collapsed against the wall, sobbing.

Within the croc's belly, a triumphant voice could barely be heard.
"Yeah, motha------!! How'd you like that!? I bet--wait, how do I get out now?"
...
"Heeeeeeeeeelp... Somebodyyyyyyy..."
