Then...
"You are free, sisters! FREE!!!"
The Shining Knight, dressed in her high-tech suit resembling a medieval knight's armour, slashed the walls with her sword, allowing the inmates of the Dame Edna Correctional Facility for Women to get out. As they ran, some of them with weapons stolen from the guards, Shining Knight looked at them, padding herself on the shoulder for freeing these misunderstood and abused women.
"Are you HIGH!?"
Oh, great... her.
"I have no quarrels with you, Amymal." Shining Knight said to the woman in green spandex and domino mask. "Leave, and I shall spare you. After all, you are a part of the great sisterhood of women."
"Take your sisterhood and @#%&." Amymal turned into a rhino, and hammered herself into Knight. The Knight attempted to trust her blade through the creature's back, only to hit a gigantic turtle-shell instead.
Realizing that taking on a rhino-turtle in close combat would be a bad idea, she activated her suit's electric defence, giving Amymal a shock big enough to make her back away. Knight became airborne, and fired a salvo of bullets from her left rift. Amymal changed into a hummingbird, dodging the bullets.
"This is ridicules!" The Shining Knight pointed her sword toward her enemy, as it fired off blasts of energy. "Can't you see that what I do is right?"
"Freeing a bunch of dangerous felons?!" Amymal flew above the Knight, then transformed into an elephant.
"They are the result of living in a society dominated by men!" The Knight evaded being smashed, and the falling elephant turned into a flying falcon. "We women have to stand together against the male tyranny and-"
She was gone. Amymal had disappeared. As the Shining Knight wondered what kind of animal that could turn invisible, she noticed that her shoulder itched. A lot in fact.
Then her left arm, then her knees, then...
"Oh god, this is unbearable!" As a reflex, she started to scratch her arm, even though her whole body was covered in armour. "Alright, ALRIGHT! I get it! I give up! But for god's sake, STOP IT!"
The itching did not stop.
"STOP!" the Knight landed, took off her helmet clapped twice, activating the undress function, making her armour fall off. She was now nothing but a spindly woman with short, red, messy hair. "I'm done! I give up! Just, for heaven’s sake, make it-"
WHAM
Amymal turned from insect to human and punched Shining Knight's lights out. "Mosquito-flee. Works every time."
Now...
Carly Puckett, AKA the Shining Knight, was a well-known feminist terrorist. With her high-tech armour, she had spread chaos all around the country in the name of the sisterhood of women. She fought a never-ending battle against the men she believed oppressed her sex. She was an avenger of generations of women who had been misused and tormented by the male-dominated system.
Oddly enough, she didn't get as much praise as she had hoped for. No one called her a hero, no one supported her fight, no one discussed if she might have a point. A few (VERY FEW) forums could be found with a google search where they complimented her fight for women. But mostly, all she heard and read was that she was... nuts.
"Not interested."
Pucket had her back turned to her visitor; Captain Johnson. She looked out of her cell's only window. Not that she could see that much. She just didn't want to look at him.
"Come on, Mrs Pucket, hear me out-"
"No, I'm not interested in this rehabilitation program of yours. I want to get out of this damn place, but I'm not so desperate that I will allow men to dictate me."
"You do know that there ARE women in the American government, right?"
"Is Arnold Swarzenegger still president?"
"... Yes."
"Come back when a LADY is sitting in the oval office and when this program of yours is being led by a woman. THEN I might consider fighting aliens and monsters instead of the oppressors of my sisters."
"What about your ex-wife?"
"... Pardon?"
"Your ex-wife, Ulla Simpson."
Pucket turned around and looked at Johnson with irritation drawn all over her face.
"... What about her?"
"If I have understood it correctly, she suffer from leukaemia, am I right?"
"... Yes, I know that... Thank you for taking up something VERY personal and rub it in my face. That really makes me-"
"If you join the Glory Guards, we will, as well as knocking a few years of your sentence, also donate money to your ex-wife's treatment. Interested?"
At first, Pucket wanted to tell Johnson to get the hell out of her cell and not use her ex-wife as a bargaining object. But as she opened her mouth, she closed it again while biting her lower lip. Then, she sighed, and mumbled for herself; I will do it for you, Ulla.
"Fine, I will join your team, Captain Johnson. But just so you know; I think the whole idea sucks."
"That makes two of us." Johnson said, as he handed her the contract.
