[The stone hits Ultra Magnus's shoulder, which he swings around to knock it into Overlord's face. The two shove each other until both lose their grips, at which the illusion of a robot starts chuckling. A hand wipes the spot on his face where the rock struck it.]
What's the joke? [Ultra Magnus swings a fist, ignoring everything Clayton says. The memory requires his full focus: ignoring Overlord is a death sentence. His attack is blocked by Overlord grabbing his hand and holding his extended arm in place.]
You, Ultra Magnus. The joke is you. Everything about you - the self-importance, the sense of duty, the macho posturing masquerading as guilt...
[Magnus's face furrows. Something about those words struck him to the core called Minimus.]
You're the joke and the joke is you. But - see - that's not why I'm laughing. I'm laughing because you're not been holding back--
[Overlord reaches back. The hallway is a mess, and among the debris is a sword taken from its original owner. A hand grips the hilt as he speaks, and with Magnus distracted, he has the opportunity to win the fight.]
