EPISODE 13:
"Attack Through the Portal!
It's the Final Battle!"
"Land near the fountain and let me out," Jennifer said.
Matt said, "Sure. But, uh, you do realize that you're..."
"Naked?" she finished. "May as well be, I'm going to get wet."
Matt set Panther down in front of the recently-built Bensonville city hall, then released the hoverwing and sat down close to the fountain out front. The fountain sat within a shallow circular pool, twenty feet in diameter and filled with multicolored gravel. Five triangular black granite pillars stood eight feet tall around the circumference. Between each were two water jets and a series of colored spotlights, aimed upwards and inwards, towards the middle of the pool. In the center was a five foot tall textured glass pillar, topped with a small stone covered in gemstones of several different colors that sparkled in the play of water and light.
As Panther's cockpit opened, Jennifer said, "I need to borrow that knife." Without waiting for a reply, she pulled it from Matt's vest, left the cockpit, and hopped right into the fountain. She went to the central pillar and used the knife to pry the stone free of its mount. Matt followed her out, his cock raging hard again at the site of her stepping out of the fountain, naked and dripping wet. She returned the knife to Matt just as Princess Sugarshine arrived.
"Jennifer! What's been going on? What is that?" she asked.
"This is what's been causing all out problems. It's the portal generator, but it's damaged and malfunctioning. With the water shorting the circuits and keeping it active, it opens the portals randomly. They've been able to rig some things on the other side to expand how they can use it, but they can't open a proper, fully stable portal. At least, not until I attach this to it," Jennifer said, removing the bracelet from her ankle and holding it up.
"A hardware patch. Clever," Matt said. "So we don't want to do that, right? It would be bad? You're going to do it, aren't you."
Jennifer smiled broadly, and said, "But first, I should be dressed appropriately. Gimme a V! I! C! T! O! R! Y! What's that spell? Victory!" On the final word she thrust her fist into the air, and the charms flew off her bracelet and circled around her, turning into a swirling cloud of golden sparkles that levitated her off the ground. The rush of sparkles dried her off and tickled against her skin, especially her tits and pussy. A sports bra and thong formed around her body. The striped braid appeared, starting from her shoulders and meeting in the middle, then the shell formed moving downward over her breasts, stopping with the lower braid. Bloomers formed over her thong, and the skirt pleats appeared, spinning around her body, drawing closer to her until they attached at her waist. Ankle socks and boots formed around her feet. Her hair blew wildly behind her, then came together and wove itself into a single braid down her back, secured with a red hair tie. A yellow glow appeared over her nose, then split into two that moved up and back, creating the visor. From the top of the visor and around to the back of her head, the helmet formed. A final flurry of sparkles moved over her chest, leaving behind block letters that spelled out "Cheer". Then the sparkles lowered her to the ground and dissipated.
"Now, what did you come up with to defeat the Tsarina's lightning attack?" she asked.
"What makes you think I came up with something?" Matt replied.
"Because you're you."
Matt smiled. "Damn straight. I had to study storm lighting and Panther's video logs of her for a while, but it finally hit me. Lightning is what happens when a large charge imbalance overcomes the electrical resistance of air. You can't just throw electricity at a target. Without a positive charge to draw it, the charge would disperse in all directions. She's using magic, of course, but the best thing is to work with physics, not against it. Which means she's not actually shooting lightning per se, she's creating a huge charge imbalance between herself and her target, setting the condition for a lightning strike, and then just letting it happen on its own. The upshot is, you're actually safer the closer you are to her, because the charge required to bridge the gap is smaller, and if you can get electrically connected to her, it's brought to zero."
"You realize I understood exactly none of that," Jennifer said.
Matt sighed. "Right. Okay, have you ever rubbed your feet on the carpet and given someone a static shock?"
"Sure, I guess," she said.
"But if you're touching that person while you rub your feet, you can't shock them, because you're already sharing the static charge. So I got the guys at the base to help me make these. Panther, the compartment, please." A hatch opened on Panther's lower leg, revealing Matt's secret weapon inside. "We cut some ankle shackles in half and welded a hundred feet of electrical wire between each pair. Get one end on her and one on you, and any charge she tries to put on you will be instantly neutralized, with no way to build to a dangerous level."
"You want me to handcuff myself to the creepy lady with the lightning powers," Jennifer said, incredulous.
"Ah, when you put it that way it does sound counter-intuitive," Matt admitted.
"Another radical idea of yours?"
"Not quite so spur of the moment this time, but if you prefer, sure."
"Do you at least have the keys to unlock those?"
"Several, right in there with them," Matt said.
"Good enough for me. Let's go. They're expecting the portal, so there's going to be a small army waiting on the other side, except for the big guns that were sent over already. Start shooting before we're all the way though. Sugarshine, you might want to ride with Matt for this," she said, and started connecting the repair bracelet to the portal generator.
Matt climbed back into Panther with Sugarshine right behind him. "SABRE pilot to Artemis command. Cheer Raider and I are opening the portal to the enemy source and going through." The portal flared into existence, a great tunnel of swirling purple and blue energy. Jennifer summoned her pom-poms, then ran into it and out of sight, and Panther followed.

They emerged from the portal into the cavern, antimatter cannons and fireballs blazing. The assembled horde was taken by surprise, and those that could, scattered quickly. Jennifer tossed her pom-poms aside and called, "Megaphone! Roar of the Crowd Scorching Sonic Blast!" The blast swept over the injured and straggling creatures. Those that survived in one piece were nevertheless not getting up again.
