Tony grinned and slapped the red activation switch in the center of the main console.
Deep beneath the Castle Keep, the massive energy-conversion core let out a piercing roar.
Enel, still drenched in sweat from the torment of the Seastone collar, was forced to release an even fiercer surge of lightning.

Walker spat and snarled.
"Ignore those damned metal speakers!
