Ivanov charged, his heavy metallic form shaking the very earth beneath him. Behind him, the Ghlizan cheered, urging him to finish Rouchi.
"It seems you have quite the fan club," Rouchi sneered.
Ivanov reached the top of the stairs and leaped, bringing a massive fist down. Rouchi, gathering red lightning in his right hand, sidestepped the blow. With Ivanov's chest exposed, Rouchi drove his hand forward, unleashing a torrent of electricity. Ivanov screamed as the voltage convulsed his body. Seizing the moment, Rouchi grabbed him and shoved him down the long stone staircase. Ivanov tumbled, scraping against the stone, before digging his hand into the steps to halt his fall.
