Roontag Volbog

"Spunk... is that synonymous or similar to dauntlessness, chutspah, moxie... 'That shine'"?
He inquired, possibly cutting off a much larger list as his opponent was upon him. Still not standing erect, he parried the first blow with his extended blade and was struck twice in the chest before the other sonic blade was extended, powerful insulators lessened the potency of the electric jolts that coupled the jabs , (and stopped the zosphorite within from being a delicious barbecue item) but when voltage wasn't filtered out racked the suit and did its damage.
Note to self: re-insulate circuitry for the next time.
The chest region just above the previous damage now sported pits and blackened marks where the voltage arced through the metal.
As he finally regained proper footing, he traded clashes with the polearm and when it seemed they were synched in speed he fell into a more agile stance, similar to fencing or kendo, at this point exclusively dodging and parrying the potent polearm's thrusts backwards through the approximate foot of sewage. The other forearm cannon port retracted the sonic blade and began to glow warmly.
Another purposeful thrust came his way and as he parried the blow, his footing came upon a poorly secured brick in the masonry of the dated sewer system and he lost his defensive footing and dropped low. Thinking fast, he made a ferocious wild-arcing slash with his still-bladed left arm to attempt to halt the ability to take advantage of the moment of vulnerability as he staggered backwards. He was sure his sensors would have picked up an anomaly in the architecture BEFORE he interacted with it, but the recent jolts may have lowered their efficiency and were still recovering.
