Having let go of his arms, Octavious drew back his tentacles to inspect them.
Broken...blast it. His other two should be alright to function though.
Not wasting any time, Octavious used his two good arms to lift himself off the ground and up towards the ceiling.

Killer Croc watched through the surface of the water as his prey raised himself off of the ground. Making no pretense at speed, he immediately leapt out of the water, trying to grab him from behind again. "Your bones will snap!"
The Riddler eyed Alcina up and down again. With a smile, he said, "If I may say so, you look rather tasty..."

Hearing the loud splash come from the water, Octavious dodged as best he could, which unfortunately brought him down and away from the small opening in the ceiling. It also forced him to bring his two broken arms down to try and balance himself.
EDIT:
"Well, thank you." Alcina replied with a faintly playful smile.

Croc missed because of his prey's dodge, but when he landed on the ground again, on the ledge just above the surface of the water, He leapt again, this time leading his prey a little. He wouldn't get away. "Your blood will fill my belly!

Having just regained his balance, there was little Octavious could do to dodge. In one last bit of an effort, he brought one of his broken metal arms up to try and slap the creature away.
He wasn't going down like this...not the great Octavious.

The attempt was for naught, as the great beast's size and weight prevented Croc from being swatted away, like maybe Spider-Man would've. Croc didn't know about Spider-Man, though; He simply knew that he had found a meal. Killer Croc landed on Otto Octavius, drool slowly making its way out of his mouth with a hiss.

The weight of the creature was too much, being held up in a tri-pod stance, the two began to fall back down to the ground. As they did, Octavious took the arm he had used to swat the thing and attempted to pull the creature off of him.

Croc grabbed the arm where he had broken it and twisted, breaking it off entirely. He then swung down at his prey's head with the severed robotic limb, roaring as he did.

Ock felt the arm slam down against his head, nearly knocking him out. He still had sence enough to use his other arms to try and force the creature away from him. The other broken one wrapping around the things waist, while the two functional ones tried to hold the thing's arms back so that he couldn't strike again.

This tactic worked; Killer Croc was unable to continue attacking. He was, however, straining against the arms holding his own arms back. "I'm going to kill you, octopus man!"
The Riddler then looked around a little, and smiled. "Looks like Croc went to sleep early; it's quiet."

"Oh, is he usually noisy?" she asked. She really hadn't heard anything from the creature the entire time she was here.
Octavious grimmaced and tried to move away from the creature. His head was throbbing thanks to the previous blow. And as much as he hated to admit it, he couldn't get away from the thing while he was holding it...and he was having a time doing so.
"You dare...threaten me..." he growled.

[enter the Mad Hatter from Gotham City]
Jervis Tetch, still wearing the fedora, approached Arkham Mansion, one of few places on Arkham Island that wasn't populated by inmates. Here, one could hope to visit some of the doctors on duty, who weren't currently with a patient. Such as things were at night. Even more fortunately, he didn't need a doctor, just someone who knew who he was talking about, which shouldn't be a problem; he was asking about a doctor. He found a guard by the doors.
"Can I help ya?" asked the guard.
"Actually, yes," answered Jervis, "Do you know who Dr. Yorkes is?"
"Yeah, one of the docs that take care of the crazies in the pen. ...Say, you look kinda like someone I've seen before..."
Jervis chuckled. "I get asked that all the time. I guess I just have one of those faces."
"I guess."
"Say, could you do me a favor?"
"Depends on the favor..."
"Oh, it's nothing major, I assure you. I was wondering if you could give this to Dr. Yorkes for me." Tetch offered the man the box he had purchased back in Gotham.
"What's in it?"
"Just a little gift. I doubt you'd find any use for it. Unless, of course, you were Jewish, like the good doctor."
"Nah, I'm Methodist. Anyways, yeah, I can do that for ya."
"I'm in your debt, good sir. I thank you on behalf of the Gotham Synagogue." Jervis wasn't even sure Gotham HAD a synagogue, but it was worth a shot.
The guard took the box, and tucked it under his arm. "Alright, but just so ya know, ya really shouldn't be here. Visitation is closed at night."
"Oh, I didn't even realize. I'll get going now, in that case."
"Alright. I'd have felt bad if I had to arrest you. You seem like a good person. Gotham don't have too many of them."
"Indeed. I must be off. Have a good night, sir," Jervis Tetch said as he walked back to the taxi that had brought him.
"Bye," called back the guard, who went to put the box on Dr. Yorkes' desk.
Tetch got back in the cab, and headed back to Gotham.

"Yes, much," Riddler replied, "Though I imagine you wouldn't have minded, anyways. If you had, you could've MADE him be quiet." The Riddler chuckled a bit.
Killer Croc continued to strain against the mechanical arms. "I'll do whatever I want... You're in MY world in here!"
(( My plan for the Mad Hatter is beginning to take shape... twisted ))

"In quite a few ways." Alcina said with a small smile.
Octopus managed to get away enough to bring himself to his feet. He then braced himself, and again tried to swing the creature. This time, he attempted to slam the thing into a solid surface. He was having quite a time keeping the thing at bay, trying to pull it appart wouldn't be an option.

Croc braced himself, as well. The octopus man might be able to lift all 400-plus pound of him, but he wasn't going to make it easy. As the arms readjusted to make the throw, he grabbed one and recommenced his business of crushing the stupid device. "These arms are your only real hope. I'm going to destroy them, then I'm going to rip you apart like paper!"
"Just as I'm sure you could figure out a few ways to make me stop, too, I'm sure," added Nygma.
