Meche understood that too. Just like throwing a punch. You wanted to have your legs in a good, solid stance so you could really put some weight into the hit--and be ready to move if the guy got up and hit back. Or, in Domino's case, if the guy barely even flinched to begin with. She should really get someone to teach her that.

All right, legs a bit wider than her shoulders, knees bent just a little, both hands on the spear like that, she could do those things. This was the easy part. Meche watched Alita demonstrate a clean, surprisingly elegant thrust and decided that the real problem would be delivering a blow that was both powerful and steady. It couldn't be as easy as it looked. She nodded to show she was following and waited for the next step.
