Cassie's pushed a little too far forward to back out of the way of this one. There's nothing for it but to try and catch it.
She does, but the force of the blow bends her knees. She finds herself cradling Vegeta's foot, pushing upward against it as though she were carrying a boulder. (In fact, she's pushing against a force that weighs incalculably many times more than that).
She holds him there for a fraction of a second - one that feels like ages at the pace they're going - then swiftly shifts her weight around the fulcrum of his balance. If nothing else, the closed space makes this as good a place at any to try for grappling and takedowns.
Whoops, lost it ages ago. Can pick it up or leave it as desired.
