Chloe wasn't expecting to be so firmly resisted, and she'd put most of her focus into that lunge, so when the other girl attempted to knock her sideways, it worked quite nicely. But Chloe was quite heavy when transformed, and her weapons were a lot of added weight. Moreover, with her arms outstretched as they were, she was quite front-heavy. Grabbing whatever she could wrap her fingers around, she used the sideways momentum to try and throw her opponent on to the ground. She didn't particularly care if they both tumbled to the dirt, since that position was good for grappling, so she more or less threw herself at the earth below them trying to add more force to the equation. And if the other girl didn't tumble but Chloe did, well, she'd just have to adapt. It was far easier to adapt to a stance change when your weapons had fingers.
