I don't know what you're going to do, but I have work to do.

People dealt with things in different ways. In Mindy's case, she had continued severing people in the cafe. The hours were rough, her sleep patterns shifted, and she had told herself to take it easy after the ejecting from the Sensoriums by Overlord Zetta. Much like a bartender though, working in the kitchens meant hearing people's conversations, and that led to the topic most people were talking about: the Daligig, the former crew and the inevitable fight for the ship. This wasn't just gossip: it was legit information, and while she could skim over Howard's really long summary, it was Allenby's that hit home. Sure, she had that dumb phobia about tech that was irritating, but she was truthful.

And that meant training time had to happen. NOW.

She didn't waste any time either. Quick to the Sensoriums, Hit Girl costume on and the simulation began ten minutes after intense push ups, stretching and a little running.

She learned something in the past few weeks: the only way to really train yourself was to push, and that push had to keep going and going and make you better. So now she was back again against the Daleks, testing her ability to dodge and run and make things fall on them. Then came that duel with Aqua, where she got much, MUCH better with a blade. Then she was back to attacking SAINTS and the hark robots, making sure there were twice as many.

But the grand finale? Shadow Zetta, unstoppable, merciless, and constantly coming at her. Even in the aftermath of broken robots and a beaten Aqua, she couldn't come close to landing a hit on shadow Zetta that mattered. Yet here she was, going at it again and again, and somehow, the audience were smug looking members of the Daligig, looking like Ceasars at a lion feeding.

"You're trying way, way, way too hard," Morgan noted matter-of-factly from near the entrance.

Ruffnut had finally figured out why she liked wandering in on random Sensoriums so much. It was a little dangerous, like that game Mindy had taught her about, Russian Roulette.

As it stood though it looked like the blond Viking girl had come out on top because there was her favorite person in the world locked in combat with what looked like...an evil version of Zetta.

"Wait, I thought Zetta was supposed to be evil already." Tuffnut asked wandering up behind Ruffnut once again popping out of her imagination in the Sensorium. Ruff shrugged and for good nature popped him in the face knocking him off his feet.

She stretched and sighed, arms above her head and back arching. Surrounded by all these aliens she wanted to unwind and that meant indulging in one of her fantasies. Flames burst around her and licked up her body turning her skin red. Horns bursting through her forehead, a long snake of a tail curling out behind her.

Claws and fangs, and so many muscles.

Tuffnut just rolled his eyes on the ground. "Show off."

With a smug smirk she sprang into the crowd and began scattering aliens like they were flowers in a field. Each strike sent handfuls of them spinning and bouncing. Her sudden appearance was causing chaos to erupt in the stadium.

Because she knew Hit Girl, and Hit Girl THRIVED in chaos.

"You're focusing too much on raw physical ability right there, at a level you shouldn't be trying to reach. It's like trying to lift a thousand pounds without working up to it in easy increments. And speaking more generally, you're focusing entirely too narrowly. All edge, no sword, you know?"

He tipped his neck left, then right, to work out the tension, then rolled his shoulders.

"Forget this simulation. You want to learn something, I'll show you something." He lifted a hand, beckoning her on. "This is a lesson in balance and harmony, and I'll conduct it without words. Land a hit, of any sort."

Ruffnut stopped in the middle of pummeling the crowd. "Huh? Oh I didn't want to interrupt. You seemed busy." She pointed a claw at the dark Zetta while choaking out an alien in her other hand.The cocky smile was entirely too familiar to Mindy though. It was the playful smirk that Ruffnut used when she meant "Come and get me."

She'd learn, he expected. She wasn't stupid.

On the other hand, he had no intention of making an aggressive move. He'd observed her focusing entirely on defense -- no other real way when facing a foe that superior -- so he intended to make a point about defense. He simply spread his legs slightly, lifting his hands up to waist-height, palms upturned, hands open.

Well, that wasn't going to work. He casually turned a hand over and intercepted the staff with the palm of his hand. No other motion; none was necessary. He might as well have been a statue.

He wouldn't claim to be inhuman in any respect, certainly not in speed. Quick, certainly, but in no way reaching even the peak of human ability in agility. Still, he didn't need to; in this case, skill and experience served him just as well. Morgan still didn't move except for his arms, which flowed like water and mercury, swift to intercept blows, redirect them just slightly wide with a gentle touch to the inner arm, or foul her body off itself with a casual shift of force.

He'd promised to teach her without words, and he was sticking to that.

The demon was too amused to avoid the first strike and stumbled away with a powerful but wildly thrown backhand to put some distance between them. Her tail lashed about and she coughed and then laughed feeling her fantasy given strength surging through her. With a flick of her wrist fireballs flew after the purple haired hero, the demongirls eyes blazing with excitement.

Ruffnut was thundering along like a bull elephant before she sprang high into the air and came crashing down towards Mindy in retaliation. Like a boulder from the heavens she crashed into the ground leaving a crater sand even sending out a shock wave from the force of the impact.

As Ruffnut reasoned it, her demonlord form could do al of this and more. Why not enjoy it?

He caught the staff by the end -- then finally moved his whole body by way of turning it, in a moment perfectly timed to put all the muscles from his shoulder down to his legs and all the momentum of his movement behind it. Either she'd let go or she'd come flying into him and bounce off, one or the other.

Nothing fancy or dramatic about it, though. Just perfect timing and total harmony of body, all of it working smoothly and efficiently to the desired end.

Ruffnut laughed and threw her shoulder into the gunfire feeling the bullets bury themselves in her flesh like stingers from bees. Enough of them would be bad news but with the speed she was rampaging towards Mindy there would only be a few more shots before contact.

It was reckless and dumb fighting, but as far as Ruff was concerned she was here to give Mindy a good workout!

Her eyes went wide as the bullets found their mark and by the time Mindy hit her back her head was in a block of ice.

Crawling along the ground in a clumsy weakened fashion and slammed her head on the ground once. Twice.

The third time it cracked right down the middle. But in her efforts to free herself she had left herself wide open, bottom pointed at Mindy and tail lashing dangerously.

“Yoooooooooooooo!” Called a loud, recognizable voice from across the expanse.

There stood Hana, waving his sword above his exploding-sun hairstyle, massive grin cutting across his face. The picture of an obvious target.
