Anti turned to face the person approaching him.

"I know, so I've decided to finish what I started," He laughs.
Anti freezes up, surprised even now, he keeps his identity secret, "w̷̙̱̙͎̼̃͠͝ḩ̵̛̛̰̞̖̖͆̂̿̏̈́͌̑̔ä̵̓̓̇̆̌t?"
"You're the only person that's a threat, and is getting on my nerves excluding that detective."
"Ȁ̶̊̆̊̐̈́́̚n̸͋̄̒̓̄̄́́̚̕͝d̷̑̉̄̔͝ ȳ̸̀o̸̢̙̞͊̚̚ư̸̛̟̓͗̇̍͗̊͐͊̒͠͝r̴̡̹̦͙͓̟͎̪͖̅ p̷̖̣͌̏̚l̴̨̧̳̻̗͑̃̌͛̋͘a̵͗̆̓y̷̎͐?"
"Terminate the issue," he hisses, opening his switchblade.

Anti glares at him and growls. He summoned a knife in his left hand, held his right hand up, and summoned another knife, this one however hovered upright above his palm. "L̸̡͎̺̜̻̬͉̤̃é̶̾̿̚̚͝͝t̸͛'s̵̛̏̑̂̚ m̷̈́̒́͝a̴͆̆͗̾̍̊̿͒̎͐k̵̏̒̃̂̓͂̌͠e̸͊̌ t̵h̷͗̓͛͒̎̽͘͘i̸͊͒̑̌͑̒̚͝͝s ̶͆̓fu̸̡͚̔́͛̋̍̀͊͆͆̑̈͜͝n̵.

The psycho laughed. "No holding back," he agrees.

Without warning, the hovering knife flies at the mastermind, blade first. A black portal opens in front of the Mastermind, the knife disappearing in it. MARVIN! Anti basically yells into the mind-space. 
Duck! The reply came quickly.

Anti squatted down, and as his open hand touches the cold, colorless tile, the knife flew over his head at ten times the speed it had been thrown at and went through the wall.

"G̴̛̳̦͈͉͎̍̉̒̈̎͝ọ̴̄o̶̩͔̱̜̗̣̪̱̐̄̾d̸̙͑͒͂̿̅̀̏̾̈́̕͘͠ t̴̳̃͊̀̕o̶̡͈̳͓̘͓̝̖̬͔͙̼͙̜̐̉͋̇ s̸̺̝͓̾͗̂͆̌͒̔͊͂́͛̕e̵̾̿̊͋̚e̸ y̴ou̷̓͑̊̔̋ ǟ̴̛r̵̄̃͝e̶͑͂̕n̵͂̽͌̐̐'t̷̒͌̽̏̊ ho̷͆̀̇l̴̋͛d̴͑̿͑͑̀́̈́͗͂͘͘ï̶͛̓̀̄̿̍̔̀̄͋͝͝͠n̴͌̏̔̽g̷̛̓́̽ ḇ̵̟̞͖́̒͌͠a̸̳͈͍̦̎̍̒͆͜ç̶̠̼͗̉̋͝ķ̴̦̠̋̂," Anti chuckles, twirling his knife around his fingers, though the razor-sharp blade slid against the skin of the demon, no damage was done. He summons a wall of knives behind him, his one lime eye emitting a soft light as he did so. At once, they all fired, and as expected, a bigger portal was opened. Anti gave Marvin control, who instantly cast a protection spell. As a purple, green bubble formed around him, the knives came back, bounced off the bubble, and flew in all directions. The majority of the knives found a new home in the roof, hall walls, and floor, however, one managed to find one in the mastermind's foot. The mastermind bit his lip stopping himself from screaming, and alerting the others. Marvin brought the bubble down and Anti took control back once more. The mastermind laughed as Anti summoned two more knives, of which hovered over his palms.

"W̴̛̑͒̊͌̿̄͐̇h̵́̈́̈̾̔̈̋͐͝ą̵̲͊̈́̊̀t̶̍́͋͐͂͘'s̷͐̊͊͗̐̚͝ ś̸̹̎̅̀̈̈̍̐̂̉̕͝ȏ̴͓̤ f̴̉̈́u̵̦̞̰͠n̴̘̮̈́̐̕n̸y̴̧̳̰̮̍̾̾̕͜?" Anti implores, preparing to strike again.
"You seem to have forgotten my Ultimate from last game," he answers, his laughter turning into a quiet, pained yelp as he pulled the knife out of his foot, only for Anti to recall it before he could throw it into the Void.

"For you, there isn't, but this is my playground, Anti," he reminds the veteran as he pulls out a button.

As Anti attempted to glitch out of the way for whatever trap was summoned, five lumanite javelins launch at him. Each one hitting their target. He fell limp, his vision slowly going blurry, "told you, lumanite, void metal, activated via teleport," the mastermind laughs, walking over to the dying male.
Anti glares at him, with his last breath he chokes out, "t̵͂̊͌͘̚͘h̷̉͑ë̵͌͝ý̸̾'l̵l̴̡̨͓̯̘͓̫̃ w̵̛̟̯̳̝̻̣̺̣̾̈́i̷͒͝͠n̵͊."

With that, he feels himself being pulled out of his body; he sits there, hovering above it, as the blackened left the room. He heard a portal open behind him, he turned and saw Death float over. Death, who was fully cloaked, motioned for him to enter. Anti reluctantly obeyed and went through it. He was then transported to a snowy white landscape, as tiny flurries fell harmlessly and innocently to the ground. Ice mountains and structures grew from the ground and twisted high into the air, some continuing higher than what Anti could see. 

So, this must be Limbo.
