Y/N P.O.V.

In all honesty, I'm not that surprised. He's survived getting his legs chopped off. He's survived getting nearly his whole body replaced.

(Marcus) - You aren't surprised to see me?

My mask folds onto my face. I'm not gonna let him have the upper hand.

(Y/N) - Should I be? It's almost as if there's no point. Every time I kill you, you never stay that way. I kinda stopped expecting you to die, when I found out you survived after drowning.

(Marcus) - Hm... Fair enough. Now... Shall we get to it?

(Y/N) - How many times have we done our little song and dance, Marcus? How many times must we fight until you are satisfied?!

His expression darkens as he reaches for his saber.

(Marcus) - ...Until one of us is dead.

I can feel everyone's collective shock wash over all of us. He's ignited his saber with a cruel hiss, and levels it to my face.

I analyze the surrounding area for a moment before feeling an ambition coming from Kurumu's brother. At this point, under the circumstances, I'm happy to oblige.

(Y/N) - Ken. You wanted to see how I fight, correct?

(Ken) - Y-yes. Why?

I draw my saber, and ignite one green blade.

(Y/N) - Congratulations. You have a front-row seat.

They all take notice of the hint in my statement, and take a few steps back to give the four of us the necessary space.

(Marcus) - Something I forgot to show you back over the magma, Overhaul.

(Y/N) - What?

He lowers his saber, before his left leg shoots for my head. I manage to grab the prosthetic before it makes impact, but suddenly, he raises the other one, and manages to hit me across the face in a backwards movement, knocking me back two feet, and flat on my ass. My saber deactivates, and falls from my hand as I regain my bearings.

(BD-1) - (Oh, shit! Full three-sixty!)

(Y/N) - Okay. He rotates at the joints now. New. Yet manageable.

I perform a backflip before he can drive his blade through my heart, and land on my feet. Using the force to call my saber to me, it flies to my hand before he thrusts his blade towards my chest. Recognizing his tactic, I step to the side, and grab his wrist, spinning my own body so that my back faces his right arm. Activating the blade on the other end of my saber, I drive the green blade into his abdomen. He staggers, and I pull the blade out, activating the other one, and wait for his next strike.

(Marcus) - Rrrgghhh... You always liked waiting for your enemies to fuck up before beginning your assault...

(Y/N) - Good for you. Now you have some idea of what comes next.

Placing both hands on my saber, I go on the offense. Back and forth, my blades clash against his own, from side to side. I'm forcing him back, until...

BD-1 P.O.V.

Marcus's BD-X unit jumps from his shoulder, onto Y/N's chest, sending several thousand volts through his body. I jump onto his noggin. If Marcus is as attached to this guy as I think he is, he's not gonna be happy.

(Y/N) - AAAAUUUGGGHHH!!

(BD-X6) - (How does that feel, asshole?! Wait, what are you- What are you doing?!)
