Snippet #2071413

Hans turned his torso and leaned backwards slightly to deflect the Verza's lunge. The point of the sword tapped Hans' breast plate. "Tag you're it. Don't be so liberal with the force of your strike, control, control, control." There would be no telling if Hans' plan might have worked in a combat situation, the hope had been that his movement would have put enough of an angle between himself and the sword tip to make it bounce off. Hans readied himself again, thinking of what the best strategy might be. He lunged forward with his Hammer as though it were a pole-arm. Gauging the time and distance he turned his lunge into a swing, the end of the hammer with the spike towards Verza's shield in an attempt to remove it from his grasp. He used his whole body in the movement, twisting around and pivoting away from his opponent on one foot. Hopefully the spike would embed itself in the shield forcing his target to either drop it or face having his arm ripped out of it's socket. It would also put Hans in a position to swing around for another blow in a very rapid space of time.
