Powerful beyond imagining eh, this guy didn't play games. Even if you knew it wouldn't kill you or probably even seriously hurt you, it took guts to grab a sword barehanded. Unfortunately if Sol didn't do something quickly the man would be taking his guts as well. Sol'd anticipated the axe coming at him one way or the other but not in such an unfortunate predicament. Sol briefly considered letting go of the sword to better position but decided against it as fighting this man without a weapon was equal to suicide. Still even in this awkward position he could fulfill his plan. As soon as the man moved Sol did also, moving forward and twisting his body so his back was facing the man with the axe until he was hiding under his sword as he brought his sheath up at the same time to from his originally planned X block. The axe hit dead center on the locked blades and Sol let out a large gasp as he was slammed to his knees by the force of the blow and the flat of his sword colliding with his back roughly. Good heavens he hadn't been hit this hard since he'd taken that cannon shot a few years back.

Unable to breath and quite possibly with a broken bone or two Sol was still able to formulate his next action, the axe had been stopped and his opponent would have to spend several seconds putting the time into moving it again with enough force to strike him again. Or so Sol hoped. His sword was still trapped, which left his sheath and his body as his only weapons. Technically he could use magic but that would betray the rules of the bout, however unspoken they were. With his body still reeling from the blow Sol forced it into movement, twisting his body, shoving off the axe and turning the motion a spin that gave power to his swing with the sheath held in his right hand at the axe man's face. It was little more than a bar of metal, but hopefully it would be enough to at least make him flinch. At least enough to make him let release his hold on Sol's sword, at which point Sol would continue spinning, putting the force of the second spin into a swing identical to that of his previous attack, only this time the bar of metal held in his left hand had an edge.[/hider]
