"Get back!" It was the first thing Sword could think of to say; he hadn't realized this creature had any abilities, much less elemental ones. If only Kirby were here!

He convulsed for a several moments as the electricity ran its course, muscles spasmodically locking up and going uncontrollably limp until he couldn't even stand.
