Marik suffers not a moment's doubt. This is Seto Kaiba, who gladly risks any lives necessary (including his own) to defend the honor of his beloved cards and pride. And the dragon-man's far too stubborn to admit Battle City was little more than the result of Kaiba's dancing on Marik's sister's strings. He'd be all too happy to vent his frustration.
So the question immediately becomes: does Marik want him to fire? If he thaws from it, that's a win. But if he takes too much damage - Pain.....
Marik hates pain. He's had enough for several lifetimes.
But that's why it's good he's a slime, right? Marik has always admired slime for its flexibility, how it can be wielded both offensively and defensively. His slime monsters can take a beating and be none the worse for wear. Surely a world that would grant a Blue-Eyes White Kaiba the ability to fire off a Burst Stream of Destruction would also grant Marik the slime's excellent defensive and regenerative abilities. Surely. So this is a. This is a good thing.
And it's also a good thing that he whimpers a little when he sees that shot building, because he knows that will only make Kaiba want to hit him more in this mood. Yes! This is going....exactly according to plan......including his reaction. He is in Absolute Control!
(oh, Gods, fire, not fire, please, not fire, not pain, not -)
