You Have the (Electrical) Power!!

It takes almost an hour for you to get back with the furniture weighing the girls down.

"We're back!" you shout when you land. "Is Cyborg done with the generator and transformer?"

"Almost," Beastboy says. "He's hooking the transfomer up to the electrical system of the house."

Starfire takes the big crate with the table and chairs inside to the dining room. Robin and Flashfire help her open it up and arrange the contents.

You help Blackfire get the big couch inside, its L shape making it more complicated than she had thought.

"Now where do you want it?" you ask, ready to move the couch.

Blackfire thinks for a moment.

"Over there," she says as she points to a corner.

*SKIRRRR* You and Beastboy drag the couch.

"No, wait. Maybe... there!" Blackfire points to a different corner.

*SKIRRRR* You drag the couch again.

"Hmm..." Blackfire thinks again, surveying the room.

"You want us to drag the couch again?" you ask.

"No, it's fine where it is," she says.

She walks to her bag and pulls out the Glurkengorf.

"We just need to put this over here," she says, placing the little statue between the green and yellow stripes of the wall opposite the couch. "Now it is perfect!"

*KUH-RERERRRR* You can hear the reving of a motor. The generator?

You and the others head outside to find Raven and Cyborg standing with the converted engine.

"Come on," Cyborg mutters as he holds on to a handle. "Work, I know you can do it!"

"Cyborg," you ask, "did you incorporate some of your technology into the generator?"

You obviously know he did, seeing the white-and-blue components holding the Kozoal parts together.

"Yeah, but I don't know if they're working together well."

"Just give it another try," you say. "I'm sure you'll get it this time."

Cyborg pulls on the handle again.

*KUH-RERERRRR*

*KUH-RERERRRR*

*KUH-RERERRRR VAROOM*

"You did it!" Robin exclaims.

Everyone cheers as the engine-turned-generator hums. You can hear buzzing coming from the transformer.

"Quick! Turn on a lightbulb!"

Flashfire runs inside the house. A few moments of silence.

"IT WORKS!!" she cries from inside.

Everyone cheers, and heads inside. You all turn on lights, and the rainbow rooms are bathed in bright light.

"Time to celebrate!" Beastboy proclaims.
