Yuu spun to follow Chase, not letting him have a moment to recover. She lowered herself into a tackling position and charged. When she slammed into Chase, she would dig in her feet and keep shoving to push him back to the edge. It was a long drop, but for people as strong as themselves, it wasn't lethal. She ignited herself for the strength boost, trying for just enough to send him toppling over. Her hand grasped for the back of Chase's knee to attempt pulling his leg up and unbalance him further.

With one arm, the soulless man wraps the doll's arm and tries his best to resist Yuu pushing, but she proof stronger then he had anticipated. Soon enough his feet begin to crack and break apart the ground as he is being shove towards the edge as he too tries. As they are mere seconds from being thrown over Chase reaches over Yuu's back and attempts to grabs her hair as they are about to reach the edge. His other hand then reaches to grab the doll's attire. As she grasped for the back of his knee, the soulless man drops low to the ground so that he can trap her hand in-between the back of his knee and thigh. As he moves down he proceeds to swing his body around.
If the soulless man managed to get a hold of the doll's hair he would also simultaneously push her head downwards towards the ground as he drops down and spins. Ideally smashing her head into the ground with enough force to plant her head through the concrete. As he makes this motion the hand around her chest will also quickly release her as he plans to restrict her with the combine force of his full body weight around her arm and the strength of his other hand on her head, and proceeds to call forth his sword, currently transforming into its pen form, to once more fly through the air into his free hand. As his hand wraps around the pen, he quickly adjusts the head towards the doll's body, and attempts to stab the doll in the spin with his pen while it is in the process of transforming back into its true form as he aims to pierce through Yuu's spine and torso and pin her to the ground with his sword.

Yuu felt the pinch of pressure as Chase's knee trapped her hand. She couldn't free it as Chase drug her down, making a crater in the ceiling with her face. Half her face was ground raw by the rough ceiling's shards, but she ignored the pain and reached out, trying to cut into his working eye again. She stopped when she felt the pen at her spine and began to roll. It was too late. The blade didn't go through her spine, but it did impale her. Yuu howled and arched her back. She couldn't turn to see what was stabbed and her stomach twisted at the thought of trying. She lay still instead, fire fading away. Her eyes caught the dolls in the distance vanishing into the kaspa.
"You said you'd make me pay for hurting Marceline, and I have. It's fitting, isn't it, the way you did it?" She spoke softly. Pain trickled through her own form. It was like what Marceline would have felt. Fitting that you finally get some backstabbing yourself, eh? Marika-voice mocked. Yuu didn't listen. She just shoved herself to the side. The sword carved itself free of her side, leaving only some guts clinging to it. With another heave of her arms, Yuu dumped herself headfirst off the side of the building. If Chase looked down, he'd see her fall cut short by a kaspa door that appeared from nowhere, swung quickly shut from the other side and vanishing.
It was a few minutes before Marceline came crawling up onto the roof. "Dammit... I knew she'd leave when the others got away." She walked to the edge to look down. From behind, Chase could see a hole in her shirt from where she was stabbed, but no wound. She turned her nose up at the guts laying around Chase's sword. "At least you gave her a little payback. You okay? Yuu's pretty scary in a fight." Marceline's one eye gazed at Chase, checking him for injuries.

Chase's stares at the air that moments ago was ripped open as a portal to what the soulless man could only assumed leads to the dolls' home as Yuu vanish. Leaving behind only her guts. The drunkard spits on the ground, which contains a good deal of blood. "This ain't fucking over yet," he mumbled to no one in particular. He wouldn't be satisfied until he serves Marika's head to Marceline. However he would likely need to defeat a lot of dolls before he reaches the neck of their cruel creator. And with the thought of facing off against the dolls, the soulless man begins to smile. He found them all to be entertaining in both ability and personality, especially the one who took his eye. Wanting to take a break, Chase dismisses his armor and has his attire revert to its casual form. He slowly begins to sit down next to the small crater he recently made with Yuu's face. His muscles starting to scream in pain from his recent fights. He takes a few slow breathes as he gradually begins to regulate his spirit energy to heal his body from his recent fight.
By the time Marceline reaches him most of his major wounds have already been healed with the exception of his missing eye. As he turns to face her he could see her examining him, and once again he starts to smile as he is slightly happy to see her showing some concern over his well being. "Yeah. She's tough, but nothing I couldn't handle," he said as he turns away looking back at the city, which seemly appears to be expanding outwards around him. Even from this far up he couldn't see where the city ends as it continues to extend beyond the horizon. Though If she was seriously trying to kill me... he thought to himself for a moment before turning back to Marceline. "You should ask Smith to upgrade your weapon with this technology," he then proceeds to show her his blade transforming back into a pen before putting it away. After a few more seconds the tone of his voice shifts to be a bit lighter as he asks. "So what do you think? On a scale from 1-10." He would always ask this question to her whenever they completed an assignment as a fun way for him to gauge how she felt about his performance on a mission before he would give her his rating. 1 being the worse and 10 being the best.

Marceline looked at Chase's ruined eye for a moment before wincing and looking away. "Ugh. We match." She walked back to the hole he had made coming up. "I didn't see your fight with Yuu, but for the others... six. They were inexperienced and weak. You should have been able to deal with them much quicker, given how powerful you are." She hopped down from the ceiling, climbing the scaffolding. "I'd like to fix on a weapon before I get a hiding one. I mean come on, I still use those bats. That's not a special weapon." She looked at the open space still beneath them to climb and groaned.

"Hmmm..." Chase replied to Marceline's comments as he stands back to his feet and looks at the doll. "Considering you didn't have a proper weapon... I think I'll give you a passing grade." He slowly walks to his comrade and continues to speak, "But I'm surprise you consider them weak... Maybe next time I'll fight the big stupid looking one and you can take on everyone else," he finished with a grin. The soulless man peers down the hole and could see Smith looking up at him from down below. "Damn I was kinda looking forward to hanging out here for a bit longer. Appreciate the view, you know," he lied. He simply didn't want to deal with Smith's yelling at him for causing so much damage later and risk ruining his business deal. "Care for a lift?" he asks as he swings his staff around and suddenly a platform made entirely out of vines emerges right above the hole.

"She wasn't stupid. Not all that smart either. I've met both. She was just average." Marceline sat down on the vine elevator. "Of course, maybe I'm judging on a curve with Smith around. Not to mention growing up with Yuu. I'll never know how somebody that sharp is also that damn stupid." She scowled and hunched over. "I know you don't remember anything before a couple years ago, but is there anybody you dread running into? Somebody who drags up memories you would rather not think about?" Her young face looked old. "Cause I swear to God, I thought I was going to die when I saw Yuu. And that sick feeling in my chest didn't let up after Melea had me patched up." Her face twisted further.

"A couple of years ago?" mumbled the soulless man who has memories that span centuries. It was only a few years ago that he has even gotten a lead on his past. Yet he decided not to share that piece of information with the doll. After all he couldn't imagine her caring about his past. And worse case scenario would be if she did end up caring. And it didn't take long for to ponder Marceline's question. "Yeah..." He glances at his forearm and begins to rub his hand against his skin containing the Mark of Chaos. "...But If Yuu ever shows up again, I'll deal with her. So don't worry your oversized head about it." he finished just as the plant platform delivers them right in front of Smith.
"Well at least you manage not to destroy the whole building," he said to Chase. He then turns to Marceline and politely offers her his hand to help her get off the plant platform in an classic gentleman like fashion. "And you, I hope you will think next time before rushing into a fight without a proper weapon." Then looking at both of them together with a series of quick back and forth looks he finally says, "I'm glad to see you two are alive. Also you don't have to tell me..." He gestures towards a nearby floating drone. "I was able to watch most of it. I will have to analyze this battle later. It may prove useful should we ever cross paths with them again in the near future. Regardless, I think its best if we leave now. The longer we stay here the harder it will be to erase the evidence of this incident for the public. Come on., we have to finish up our business here and leave this country," And with that Smith walks away from the pair, expecting them to follow him as he moves towards Melea's current position.

"Don't get yourself killed trying to fight my battles. Just drink yourself to death like you were always going to." Marceline ignored Smith's hand to jump down herself. "Yes, sir." She nodded and followed Smith. Melea wasn't far. She stood just outside the palace, where the massive doll had cracked a hole in the wall to pass through. She was flanked by more death knights and a few people in white, presumably the healers who had tended to Marceline. A massive woman, skin and hair pale as the clouds lazily drifting in the sky, stood defensively between Melea and Smith. "At ease, Terenty. This wasn't their fault. Smith, are you and yours alright?" Melea stepped around her bodyguard, displaying concern that may or may not have been sincere.

"Hey, I can probably do both." replied Chase with a smirk. However the sly smile fades as the massive woman stands between Melea and Smith. The soulless man's begins to move forward as he prepares for another fight, As he walks pass Smith, the genius inventor places his hand on Chase's shoulder before he could walk too far ahead of him. "Relax. The fighting is over already." He then proceeds to walk close to Chase and whispers in his ear so that the others couldn't hear him. As he finishes up, the soulless man looks a bit disappointed with the brief one sided conversation and takes a few steps away from the Terenty, but his eyes remain focus on her. "Ay, yes. We are fine. Don't worry. I am fortune to be bless with both skillful and rather resilient bodyguards. Though I have to ask, what exactly happen? Perhaps part of our arrangement can be my assistance to improve your security to the highest quality possible, so something like this doesn't happen again," he said with genuine intent to help Melea. Last thing he needs is for a business partner to have security flaws when they are clearly working on potentially dangerous technology in the wrong hands.

"What, at the same time?" Marceline quickly moved to prevent Chase from starting a fight with Melea's security. "Chase, she works here." Melea put her lips together until they formed a vacuum seal. Smith offering to improve her security sounded like a personal insult. But could she blame him? This really did resemble a fiasco. He couldn't know any more than that. And besides, it was free security for her most important building.
"We could work that into the deal, certainly." She sighed, looking out at the damage. An emotion with no color welled up inside of her when she saw scattered bits of bone. Men who gave their lives to serve her in death, and they were rewarded like this? It'll all be worth it in the end. If there if a world beyond, they will smile upon the paradise I make for their families. "I promise you, Mister Smith. It will all be worth it. And afterwards... oh, fuck it, a trip to the brewery! Your friends have earned it!" Melea's smile was bright as the sun, and her eye glowed as yellow.
