Well, I was hoping that it would be inferred that, with his bony, fleshy human hand, Bruticus wouldn't really be able to do that much damage in that short a time. At least nothing that would affect her functionality. There was maybe a few seconds for Bruticus to do his thing before Rei reactivated and beat him to death with her bare hands.

Seriously, were you paying attention there? I'm pretty sure that was the most gratuitously violent thing I've ever written! I mean, I've posted some rough shit in the past, including my first post in this series, my run-in with that one noob, every awful thing I ever did to Fenris, the entire Avatar Arena fight between myself and Arhra, and that one time I shot Raiden in the face. But this is the first time Rei's really ever had to get her hands dirty, and what a way to do it. My little girl's growing up!

As for the issue at hand, however, I would like to note that I had originally intended to have a short scene where Rei is rubbing her slightly damaged neck before charging at Bruticus, but in the end I felt that it detracted from the narrative flow. The scene, like so many others, can be found in the extras for the "NPF Avatars: Special Edition" DVD.
