Running away from Marco, Subaru ducked across a corner and grabbed a couple of objects, throwing them at him.
Marco: You can keep hiding, I'll find you!!!
*WHACK*
Cracking a vase right on his face, Marco screamed in agony as pieces of the vase cut across his face.
He started to swing his sword wildly, cutting anything around him.
Marco: When I get my hands on you, you're as good as dead!!!
Subaru kept his composure and took a couple of knives from the destroyed kitchen. Holding it up, he threw one right at Marco's leg.
*SLICE*
Marco saw the knife coming from a mile away and cut it in half.
Marco: Come on! Did you really think that would work-
Taking the opportunity, Subaru started running down the hallway as Marco chased him.
Marco: Look around! This place is starting to catch on fire. Just stay still so I can kill you. It might be faster than burning to death.
Subaru: No thanks! If it's coming from you, you'd probably find a way to fuck it up!
Throwing another kitchen knife towards Marco's head, he sliced it apart, as he continued to chase Subaru.
Subaru: (I need to find a way to kill him. Maybe, if I'm lucky, one of their explosions could do that for me. But there has to be another way to stop him. There has to.)
*EXPLOSION*
An enormous cloud of fire burned half of the hallway as the fire got all over Subaru's legs.
Subaru: Oh, crap!
Falling to the ground, Subaru rolled around, remembering that was how to put out a fire.
And just like that, Subaru was no longer catching on fire.
Subaru: Oh good-
*SMASH*
Smashing his foot into Subaru's stomach, Marco started laughing as he finally caught up.
Marco: You stopped those pathetic flames and now you get to deal with me, hahaha. I told you I'd beat your ass completely, you weakling.
Subaru tried to get up, but it was too late. Marco wasn't going to let him.
Punching him across the face, Marco continued to barrage blow after blow after blow on Subaru.
Subaru: Fuck!!!
Blood gushed out from Subaru's mouth as Marco's laughter continued getting louder and louder.
Marco: LOOK AT YOU NOW, JUST TRASH ON THE GROUND WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. YOUR FRIENDS ARE PROBABLY ALREADY DEAD. WE'RE GOING TO WIN AND WIPE YOU ALL OUT! AND THERE'S NOTHING A PATHETIC SACK OF A HUMAN LIKE YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. YOU'RE JUST TOO WEAK!
*SMASH*
*SMASH*
*SMASH*
*SMASH*
Subaru's face started to swell as purple bruises covered his body.
Marco: Go on, beg for your death! Beg for it! I'll make sure you beg to have me kill you!
Subaru: (It's useless. What was I even thinking? I'm the same as I always have been. I'm completely useless. I can't even land a blow on this fucker.)
