Explosives go off and he and Ai run to the top where they have a parachute waiting. On the way he is confronted by Yuno and Yukiteru declares over the loud speaker that he is hiding while Yuno fights as he is useless. Enraged Marco runs to the control room. There he figures out that it was a lie and runs back to save Ai as her DEAD END has been triggered. When he returns another explosion goes off and Yuno, Yukiteru and Ai are buried beneath rubble. He tries to save Ai and lectures Yukiteru about how he thinks Yuno's actions are inhuman when Yukiteru is not any better.
