Fer was getting up as soon as he had landed.  He pushed his right leg back which brought him to a half kneeling position with the weight of the shield in the left leg firmly planted on the ground.  Answering Auriel's command, he pushed forward and upward hard using his arms and leg strength to overpower the hopefully out of balance sword-wielding bandit. His Scutum shield would provide a wall between him and the attacker and be used as a solid leverage.  The aim was to force the bandit to bait the bandit into pushing forward. 

He called one last time for his shield to change.  [color=0054a6]"Morph Shield-Round shield!"[/color]  

The shield answered his command and a flash of green later a shield similar to those used by the Spartan warriors of his Earth.  He spun to the left and then using the flat edge of his shield, he aimed at the base of of the neck where the brain connects tot he neck.  A solid hit would cause serious damage to the bandit at the most and would make him loose his footing and fall flat on his stomach at the feet of the winged soldiers at the least. 

The young shield hero swung with all his might hoping to connect and finish off the bandit.
