Liberté, égalité, fraternité (and a hard-boiled egg)

[meat_mooks]

With the Council having laid down the groundwork with the Daligig to gain their trust in the uprising, the crew prepared to put on a show, and the Daligig at their wit's end and impatient with the crew of the Transmigation 9, it was time to act.

The plans were clear. Allenby would be leading some of the crew in what looked like a hotheaded attempt the attack the Daligig and Kessek and oust them off the ship. Those that wanted to stay out of the fighting and take a neutral position of some kind were to make sure they stayed safe or acted their parts as the horrified crew-members that wanted everyone to make peace. And of course, anyone else was going to play a roll in pretending to side with the Council and the Daligig to put their fellow crew members down (without hurting them) making it look like it wasn't a clear-cut issue, so the Council could get the command codes necessary to start the crew's true takeover of the ship.

More observant members of the crew had noticed where the Daligig, Ghyll, and Kessek had been entering and leaving the restricted areas of the ship. The attack was to start at one of those entrances, as the fake rebels tried to storm in and take on the Daligig forces. After that, as the Kessek were drawn into the ship itself to put down the rebellion, it was going to be a free-for-all, a faux civil war of sorts, as flashy and convincing as they could make it without anyone actually dying.

Lights! Cameras! Action, people! It was time to put on a show and hope it was convincing enough for the Daligig to give the crew what they needed to truly be free.

There was a smile, even as the pain started creeping into her body in fragments, hurting like small explosions on the body. Ruffnut had not only gotten better, she had gotten faster too! The tournament and the training had fashioned her stronger, and now Ruff was starting to become a force to be reckoned with.

Hit Girl was going to get a little more aggressive here, landing harder hits, her speed starting to increase exponentially.

She barely had time to smirk before an especially solid punch landed on her nose. She was sure she heard something crack.

Though her pain fueled anger urged her to continue she stumbled back and spat out some blood wheezing, swaying for good measure.

"I thought you were cool." She growled playing the part of the betrayed best friend. The lightning pulsed in her muscles and singed her clothes. Her fingertips turned black from self inflicted burns and even her eyes seemed to spark. The next punch she threw had the force of an sticking a fork in a light socket.

But it was also...just a little too slow, at least for someone with Mindy's skill.

And that was right: Hit Girl wasn't about to throw this, even if she saw that Ruffnut was bleeding. It was too important that there be some level of trust from the Daligig. It sickened her to think about how she had thought that way a short while ago, that she was being used.

So she knocked the hand aside, and delivered a concentrated punch to the gut.

"I've always been me before anyone else!" She said, looking exactly as cruel as needed. "Not my fault you forgot that!"

Man, did this suck though.

Ruffnut barely made a grunt as the impact made more blood spatter on the ground from her mouth which was in a perfect O. The world was starting to get fuzzy, the all too familiar feeling of being knocked out coming upon her like a warm blanket on a cold night.

"Lucky...shot." She wheezed before her eyes rolled back and she fell into Mindy. Her only consolation was that she'd be out cold for the humiliation of being dragged to a cell or wherever prisoners were being kept.

She won. Yay. No point in acting like this was a good thing. If the Daligig expected examples out of them though, like they had tried to do with Howard and Orc, then all bets would be off. Hit Girl had no intention of throwing Ruffnut to the wolves.

Hit Girl braced the girl upward and threw her over her shoulder. Ruffnut might be taller, but she was still skinny. She could at least do this much for the person she cared most about. She'd make this up somehow, but right now she had to look serious.

"Sorry," she said quietly.
