Before Fallout could even think, he found himself covered in ice. John couldn't budge at all within the thick layers of ice that had surrounded his armored body in an instant. Fallout, try as he did, could not find any traction on which he could brace himself to break through this prison he found himself in."They will come. When they do, they will break you." John growled, watching as the villain drew a very strange blade from behind his back. Fallout smirked. That piece of metal would do little against his armor. He had to hold back a scoff as the ice man tried to strike him with the weapon."Do you think your toothpick will do anything to me?" Fallout's jest was short lived, however, as his internal systems warned him of potential hull damage. Confused, Fallout looked over towards the gash in the metal. Sure enough, he could see little icicles beginning to form and stab down at the metal. John had to think, and fast. If the ice penetrated into his suit, he didn't want to try and comprehend what damage could be caused.

A few moments before the ice would have cut through his armor, John felt a massive amount of heat rush over him and the ice melt away into water. Fallout's suit sizzled, steam floating up from the blazing hot metal and dissipating into the air. The others had arrived, just in the nick of time."Thank you." John stated plainly, before returning his full attention to the battle at hand. They had this guy totally out numbered, yet he still put up a fight. What a fool he had to be. Why was he attacking some seemingly random street anyway? It didn't make any sense. He could have hit up a bank or a jewelry store. A gas station would have given him more profit than this. This guy wasn't in it for the money, that much was clear. He seemed to just be..fighting. Fighting because he could. John shook off the distracting thoughts and watched as Orren and Dylan did their work. Fallout stomped into the alleyway, seeing Dylan crying out on the ground, was angered."Surrender yourself." Fallout sent a blast from his arm mounted laser at the villain. The laser would burn and cause pain, but it wasn't hot enough to cut through his layers of clothing and skin to do any lasting damage.
