'Well, that went swimmingly,' Nick muttered sarcastically to himself as... well, he could only describe the event as "freezing the burning trash", or at least extinguishing the flames, all of which ended up dropping to the ground, save a single piece inexplicably flung toward the older man. Which, alas, left the guy open to being badly injured, or so it would seem. Evidently, there was no time to waste: with but a few meters between Nick and the other two, the Kaiser Chief charged round the wall of fire, ready to beat the crap out of the punk, who to him was little more than another bully.

Or, better yet... in the short time it took Nick to complete the distance, he managed to pop the top off the oil cylinder, then draw out with his other hand the oil-soaked bat which was his signature weapon before replacing the top on the tube. The Ripple coarsed through the weapon, lending it and its user force and damage, and as he drew near, Nick gave a yell of 'Rainbow Smash OVERDRIVE!', using the force of his charge to increase the power of his swing toward the punk's head in an effort to K.O. him good and proper. Little did Nick know, of course, that this could well prove itself the other half of an effective pincer attack, given that the young man could hardly use his Stand to defend against both Nick's assault and the middle-aged guy's own Stand, never mind whatever the vampire was doing.
