And yet you just can't get enough of us, eh? You stuff hundreds of us into this shitty little shoebox--
[Amidst the faint prickling of that electrical impact, Dio yells and pushes the other vending machines through the flames, creating fiery tanks headed towards 707; but he can't entirely block the line of fire altogether, and the thin tendrils that snake through are still very hot. In the underground he won't be left with singed trousers and third degree burns on his calves; but the pain in his legs is still enough to make Dio buckle his knees for a moment.]
Shit.
[He's going to just stand there breathing during the seconds it takes for Helena to run to his side - and accepting that they might as well form a single target when 707 is capable of multiple simultaneous powerful attacks, he throws an arm around her shoulders. Anyway, the time that passes in silence also helps him to assess the quills. When Dio resumes using telekinesis then, it's to send any nearby prowling wolves for a good skewering onto the quills; the follow-up is two corehogs thrown around 707 so that they might poke each other and cause an explosion near him.] You picked the wrong wolf to put on your board. [It's an allusion to Dio's own "set up the board with 1 wolf and 14 sheep" metaphor... a disparaging comparison to the wolf noise too, maybe? Dio has practiced fighting noise, but not using one-liners on them. He's doing what he can.]
