In the fourth and final floor of the Lego Fortress, we see Marcus "The Kane" McGee and Andy the Ragdoll glaring at each other rather intensely, both had the intention of hurting one another in the most inhumane ways as possible.

Andy got a good grip of his swords, "Now then... what should I do first to you?'' he mumbled to himself, "Should I torture you first or you kill in an instant?'' he mused.

"Enough blabbering..." Marcus interjected before bringing out something from the back of his shirt, "This fight ain't going to start if you don't keep your stupid mouth shut.'' he declared before pointing his baseball bat at the marionette.

Andy scoffed, "What's that bat of yours gonna do?'' he mocked.

Marcus smirked, "Don't underestimate this bat." he replied.

The two we're silent for a minute before quickly dashing forward at each other with their weapons clashing upon impact.

Marcus swung his baseball bat which hits Andy right on the cheek, sending him flying to a debris which created a huge dent.

"Grah! Lucky shot.'' Andy muttered while Marcus charges back at him, he quickly blocks Marcus' next strike, pushing his sword forward before looking at Marcus' straight in the eye, "You really piss me off!'' he told him off.

"You're face piss me off!'' Marcus growled in reply.

They then pushes each other away before charging back again, the two would trade powerful blows after blows at each other, swinging their weapons left and right, if there was a spectator nearby the premises, he or she could feel each strikes, the near impact would sent someone trembling to their knees. Marcus swung his bat down hard only for Andy to block it, the mere collision of their weapons caused a huge a gust of wind of all over the place, pushing objects aside and breaking the glass windows.

Marcus charges again but Andy dodges his strike by bending his back before delivering a fast spinning heel kick towards Marcus' stomach which sends him crashing to a wall however, Marcus quickly got up and charges back, Andy anticipated his next move as Marcus was about to brought down his bat he quickly ducks down and slashes his sword towards Marcus' midsection drawing out blood, Andy let out a smirk in satisfaction only to lost it when Marcus brought down his bat violently on his shoulders, gritting in pain Andy swung his sword again but Marcus quickly swung his bat fast which snaps his swords in two much to the marionette's shock, Marcus follows this by delivering a powerful kick towards Andy's face sending him crashing to a wall.

Marcus backs off a few distance away before putting a hand on his midsection, gritting his teeth in pain, he could only withstand the pain if the weapon is still stuck in any parts of his body but since Andy manage to graze him, he can't help but endure the pain as blood continues to draw out.

Andy got up spitting out a few blood from his mouth before sending Marcus a glare, "Just what the heck is with that bat?'' he demanded.

Despite the pain, Marcus let out a smirk, "I found this baseball bat back from the Junkyard Planet... believe it or not, it once belong to a very obscured hero... the Battle Baseball Ninja... you have no idea who that is don't ya? Oh well... at least... I'm keeping his legacy alive by using this bat." he explained, "So... you're swords are finished, what are you gonna do now?'' he mocked.

Andy scoffed, "I ain't done yet!'' he growled before taking out a box behind his coat, much to Marcus' confusion, "Time to use my ability.'' he declared before grabbing a toy gun when suddenly it glows for a minute before dying down, "You're wondering what I can do, are you? Well then... I'll tell you, I'm one of those you called a Cursed and I had an ability to transform toys into real thing.'' he explained.

Marcus narrowed his eyes upon hearing the word Cursed, "I see...'' he muttered, "By the way, I had a question... just how in the world did you create an army of people dressed like toys?'' he questioned.

"People dressed like toys?" Andy questioned, "I think you're mistaking something here, they're not people.'' he pointed out.

"What are you..." Marcus tried to say until his eyes widen in realization, "No... I get it now...'' he admitted.

Andy grinned evilly, "I guess you finally realized it." he pointed out, "You're wondering why I looked like Raggedy Andy? That's because I AM Raggedy Andy!" he confessed, :If you know where my revelation is going, I was once a TOY! A TOY!" he shouted in frustration, "I used to be played a lot by kids, I used to be carried a lot, I used to bring smiles!'' he said with a smile before frowning, "Then they abandon me... the kids grow up and they forgotten me... after I brought them smiles in their childhood, they just throw me away like a rag!'' he growled while Marcus listens, "I was thrown away like I was nothing to them! I was about to rot in the trash, I thought everything is over... until this dark light landed on me turning me into what I am today! I was confuse at first, I wandered around this city until I reached an abandoned toy factory and saw dozens of abandoned toys! That's when I realized one thing... the fates of toys... will always be abandon once children grows up!'' he furthered before looking through the window looking at the battle occurring outside, "Then I discovered my ability to turn toys into real thing and bring them to life! I created this army, so we can get our revenge to children, we're going to get rid each and every children in this city, then the next city, next the entire country, then the entire world!'' he claimed, "Once we get rid of every children, we're coming next to the adults! The adults who once we're children... the ones who abandon us!'' he declared.

Marcus was silent for a minute until he spoke, "You're an idiot.'' he said rather harshly.

Andy turns to him with a glare, "What?" he said completely offended.

"I can definitely understand the pain of getting abandon but my God... my God!" Marcus exclaimed in disbelief, "I know you're angry with the children who are now adults that abandoned you but why you should pin the blame on other children!?" he demanded.

"What do you know!?" Andy mocked.

"Listen here and listen well cause I'm not gonna repeat it!" Marcus demanded, "You're an idiot! While you complained about getting abandoned... have you ever, EVER thought that their are a lot of kids out there that can't afford to buy a toy! Yes! Their are families out there that can't even afford to buy their children toys due to poverty! I see a lot of kids without watching other kids playing with their toys in envy! You can complain all you want about getting abandoned but don't you know, that even the dirtiest toy can make a child happy! A simple ragdoll can make a girl smile! A truck with no wheels can make a boy smile! A simple Lego piece can bring joy to a child! Rather than planning on hurting children, you could have used your new found abilities to make children like those smile and even if they grow up, you can find another child to bring smile on their faces! Toys are object! But it bring smiles to a child's face! You could have done that! But instead, you choose this meaningless crusade of yours!" Marcus berated with the most harshest tone he had.

"SHUT UP!" Andy roared in anger before firing his guns at Marcus.

Marcus charges forward dodging every bullets, Andy then brought out a bazooka with a boxing gloves before firing it at Marcus, hitting him square on the face which sends him crashing to a wall. Andy then brought out another bazooka before firing a torpedo above Marcus' head creating an explosion as several debris crashes down on Marcus, burying him under the rubble.

"You insect called humans, will never understand the pain we toys suffered!" Andy called out.

"You're right... I'm not toy..." Marcus muttered under the rubble before getting up from underneath the debris with a deadly glare set on Andy, "But we understand pain!" he declared before charging again, Andy responded by firing his guns once more, hitting Marcus in some parts of his body but he doesn't mind, his mind is set in beating Andy, "You have the right to get angry! You have the right to feel disappointed! But you don't have the right to hurt others!" he shouted.

"SHUT UP AND DIE!" Andy shouted.

"I will protect this city... along with the smiles of children!" Marcus roared before swinging his baseball bat destroying Andy's guns, he then quickly smashed the box of toys, much to Andy's horror, "I'm done toying around!" he said before swinging his bat and hits Andy hard on the head, drawing out blood, Marcus then wasted no time and continues to bash his bat against the marionette non-stop, each blows causes Andy to slowly loose conscious while keeping his feet on the ground, Marcus then pulls his fist back, "Time end this! Gasoline... 45%... BLASTO!" he roared before swinging his fist directly at Andy's face, creating a powerful explosion on the process that shook and decimated the entire fourth floor.

Outside, everyone witnessed the explosion.

"Was that Marcus?" Alla Yuliya questioned in concern.

Lavi narrowed his eyes, "I hope so..." he muttered.

Then suddenly everyone witnessed Andy flying out of the fortress before crashing down to the streets, creating a large crate as Andy's bloodied and battered lays down the ground.

Robin smirked, "Looks like Marcus is done with him." he declared.

Marcus then shows himself to the outside standing victorious with a bloody face, "No more toys... that will give children nightmares." he muttered rather darkly.

Andy's goons could only look at their defeated leader in shock, "This is impossible! Boss Andy has been defeated!" one shouted in panic.

"What should we do now!?'' another one exclaimed

"Retreat! We need to retreat back to our base!" a toy soldier ordered.

Jinx then stepped forward, "No can do! We already located your base operation!" she announced with Kid Flash zipping right next to her.

"You got nowhere to hide now, guys." Kid Flash declared with a grin.

Suddenly a purple portal appears out of nowhere, much to everyone's surprise.

"What is that?" Beast Boy asked.

"It's seems like a portal." Raven answered.

Jack-in-the-Box then arrives alongside Teddie and Alexander, "Troops! We need to evacuate to another world!" he ordered. Not wasting any chance, two goons grabbed the unconscious Andy before all of them ran inside the portal while Jack-in-the-Box then glares at the heroes, "You losers haven't seen the last of the Toy Factory!" he declared, "Here my words... we will return and destroy you!" he exclaimed before jumping inside the portal.

"Wait! Get back here!" Luna Loud demanded but the portal quickly vanished, "Damn it! They escaped!" she cursed.

"Well... look at the bright side, everything is over... for now." Lavi declared.

"YEAH!" Bud Bison exclaimed in agreement.

Back inside the Lego Fortress, we see Serra Deville and Ichigo Kurosaki approaching Marcus by the broken windows.

"Marcus, are you okay?" Ichigo asked in concern.

Marcus turns to them and they both flinched at his bloody state, ''Never been better." he replied with a smile.

"Looks like you got one heck of a fight..." Serra commented, "I think you should have Yoshika take a look at you." she advised.

Marcus shook his head, "That can wait." he replied, "We still had one more thing to do." he reminded.

After reuniting with everyone, the large group made their way towards the abandoned toy factory. Marcus then explained to them about Andy's origins, his abilities and plans.

"I can't believe it..." Eddy Skipper McGee muttered in shock, "No wonder he looks like Raggedy Andy because he was once." he stated.

"Poor toys..." Starfire muttered while holding several dolls in her hands, "... they don't deserve a fate like this." she said.

"Men... who knew toys could hold a grudge." Cyborg commented

"I think I regret throwing my collection of action figures." Rex admitted with a slight shiver.

Marcus, alongside with Robin, Luna, Wonder Girl and Argent, approaches a large machine with a hatch-like door.

"So this is the machine that created his army of toys." Luna pointed out.

Robin nodded, "No wonder why he had endless servants, they we're toys from this factory." he stated.

"So what's gonna happen to this machine?" Argent asked.

"Dispose of it." Marcus answered, "Andy won't be needing this anymore even if he returns in this city." he stated with bandages wrapped around his head and midsection.

Wonder Girl and Argent nodded in compliance before proceeding to destroy the machine.

Marcus then turns to Robin, "Robin... I suggest you take each and every toys in this factory and give them to charity, after all, toys are made to make children smile." he said with a smile.

Robin nodded in agreement, "I couldn't agree more with you." he replied with a smile, "Considered it done." he declared.
