(You can check out the previous installment of this story here.)

Wellp, I'm down to the last few commissioned DiD stories in proto-EMPOWERED format, folks! This one's from 2003 or thereabouts, based on a simple request from a very generous friend in a time of great financial need for Yrs Truly: Dirty Pair's Kei pitted against a fairly generic Jungle Girl in a cheesecake-intensive struggle session!

This incomplete episode wound up being surprisingly ambitious by this point in the story; delusional interludes and actual waterfall backgrounds (however sketchy) ahoy! Bit of a harsh turn with this installment's last page, though; lemme wax SPOILERiffic and assure you that "Distressverse Kei" doesn't actually drown, as the next pages will show.

Beyond the pure cheesecake aspect, though, this part of the story did play up an in-continuity aspect of my version of the DP—namely, that bold 'n' brash Kei has a streak of vulnerability that the seemingly "softer" and more demure (but actually steelier) Y**i wholly lacks.

Next week, our story takes yet another outta-left-field turn, as a new character appears! (Problem is, you need to have read my last DP miniseries, Dirty Pair: Run from the Future, to get the reference.)

TOMORROW ON THIS HERE PATREON: Running a bit behind on scanning my old Dirty Pair portfolio pieces, so I'll likely post some older Empowered-related material in Thursday's open slot.
