Part 4.

"Sheesh, show off a bit more, will ya?" Charlie smirked back at Kim's comment, having been leaning forwards with her hands on her knees for their picture.

"Why are you acting like a mom all of a sudden? Gotta look good if we're going to be showing this to anyone else later, right?"

Francine giggled as she held the print in her hands and showed it to Beth, who smiled back. The queen bee then turned to the other two, "It was a great picture. It's weird how I never really felt part of the team, but with this little thing it's like proof that we're together in this."

"Oui, I agree. And I'm the youngest member, I hope I can measure up," Francine humbly mentioned, while Charlie and Kim returned friendly grins to the short yet curvy eel girl.

"You definitely 'measure' up, kiddo." Kimberly was the first to talk, leaving Francine blushing as she seemed to shrink away while putting her arms over her ample chest. The olive green SUN suit hugging her body wasn't making it easy to look away from the eel's rather pronounced curves.

"Hey, don't tease her. We have Beth for that," Charlie snickered, getting Beth's feelers to twitch up.

"Oh, just what are you implying, Stinger?" the red haired queen bee frowned a little as she rested the back of her hands against her wide hips, her orange SUN suit complimenting her black and yellow fluff.

"Calm down," the scorpion waved her hands defensively, "Just saying, you do give people a few reason to ogle you for."

"What Sting here's trying to say, Beth, is that she's jealous you got tits and she doesn't," Kim snickered as she got a furious glare from Charlie.

"Girls, we don't have time for this..." Beth started as one of her feelers poked up followed by her head. One of her muscular bumblebee drones was hovering above her, confusing the other three metamorphs as the male quietly hovered above his queen, "...in fact, it's time for morning practice. I had Sebastian remember to check the clock for us."

"Sebastian?" came the confused question from both Kim and Charlie. Francine however was merely smiling.

"I helped Madame Myers with the naming," the eel confessed and walked towards Queen as her Knight flew off, likely as a result of communicating with Beth. "Oui, it took us a while, but just as I've been analyzing all of our potentials, it seems Queen is able to teach them human language in limited doses. It has been enough to make them respond to names without using pheromones."

"Thank you again for that, Dr. LeFleur," Beth nodded her head. "They're my responsibility," she explained to Kim and Charlie, "The least I could do for them is to treat them as humanly as possible."

"Man, what a shame. I wanted to name that one Cutie-Butts," Kim folded her arms under her chest, getting a giggle from Beth; "Too bad they don't talk."

"We're working on that as well," Francine added while Beth giggled at Kim's name choice. Charlie put her arms behind her head as she walked over to the doorway the Knight had exited through. "Eventually they should be able to learn how to talk, but it still will take us time before we can discover their identities."

"Well, like Beth said. They're part of the team, and I don't know how I feel about a queen's butlers being first at the training area! So let's go!" the scorpion pumped her fist in the air, getting a collective cheer in agreement. After Francine grabbed a bag full of tools and equipment that Kim offered to carry, the four SUN suited up metamorphs then left Galvanika's lab in the direction to their dedicated training area.

"Try activating your mimethization power now, Madame Sanders, s'il vous plait!"

"You got it, shorty!" Kim put her arms back to touch a wall and tensed up as Francine fired her scanner up. The chameleon's green scales began to shift in color, becoming temporarily iridescent before they fused with the color scheme her monocular vision enabled her to take in her surroundings. Shortly afterwards, the lone grass-green SUN suit floating in air began to mimic the same color swap patterns, and like Kim, flashed with iridescence before totally vanishing from sight. "It works!"

"Indeed, but it still is lagging behind. The microchips do not seem to be up to speed with your ability, either due to a lack of processing power or... non non. It was likely a flaw in my calculations."

Kim seemed way more chirpy about it however, "Are you kidding me? You gave me sexy clothes that cloak with me. That's a victory right there! Now I don't have to freeze my ass off while infiltrating."

"That is correct, but still, I must make a revision, Madame Sanders." Francine quickly jotted down a note in her pad, "Please continue testing it and let me know if anything changes."

"Got'cha, but really, this is awesome!" Kimberly grinned and began to rapidly phase through different color matchups, reverting to her binocular vision to watch her own suit adapt to the same basic colors shifting from red to blue to yellow to green. "Hey, think you can add that grappling hook we were talking about the other day if you're gonna be making a revision? I can use my tail and tongue for that, but I prefer not to put my tongue just anywhere, if you catch my drift."

"Oui oui, Madame Sanders. It's already been added on this revision. It's on your left wrist."

"Oh wow," Kim gasped as she looked up at her currently black arm, "You packed it neatly. Is it long enough though?"

"Indeed. 25ft. to be exact."

"What? You got THAT much and the clawed rod in here?"

"I strive for efficiency!" Francine nodded, "If you would like to test it out, apply pressure to your lower wrist from both sides by using your right hand. It must be even pressure to prevent accidental input."

"Like this?" Kim did as mentioned, starting to test by pressing the sides of her left wrist.

Francine absent mindedly nodded as she continued to jot notes down and turned around, "Yes, be sure to practice its use. Please let me know if you like it. I'll go check on the others." As the eel left though, she missed Kim's grappling hook suddenly shooting out just before with a sharp and quick "fwip!" the chameleon girl was pulled away and crashed into a wall. "Ahh, Madame Myers! I trust your SUN suit is to your liking?"

Beth had been coordinating her commands for all four of her Knights by waving her arms and practicing with different motions. Upon approach by Francine, she smiled and looked down at the much smaller female, "It's wonderful, Francine. Thank you for spinning it to somebody of my size. I thought I'd never be able to wear normal clothes again." Just as with Charlie, Beth's chitin armor pieces covered strategic locations, and thanks to Francine's efforts, the orange fabric had interfaced perfectly with chitinous secretion.

"Merci, madame. The pleasure was all mine! Do you think Sebastian, Alfred, Jeffrey and Edwin are ready to try with voice commands?" Francine flipped a page while waiting for Beth's answer. The queen put her arm out and raised her palm, all four Knights stopping their sparring at once before the dutifully knelt down before their queen.

"I would love to, doctor, but their SUN suits haven't been finished, have they?"

"We will not need receivers and distance this time around, however. I prepared a concoction whose strong smell should impede your Knights from recognizing your scent," the black scaled eel mentioned as she fished a round, pellet-like object from her bag. Francine showed the big pellet to Beth with a smile: "Once we install the communications systems in your squad's suits, we can try distance calls again. For now, how about we see if you can conduct them when they can't understand their normal language?"

"That sounds like a great idea, if an enemy happened to use something similar..." Beth took Francine's gas bomb from her palm to inspect it before frowning with worry, "Will this hurt them in any way?"

"Mon Dieu, of course not, madame. I specifically compounded an innocuous solution! It simply blocks olfactory receptors for a duration, but rest easy, the chemicals aren't noxious at all."

"Hmm, alright. I do want Sebastian and the others to be able to operate even while at a disadvantage," Beth nodded and, like Francine prompted her to, flung the pellet towards her Knights. The little object burst on impact against the ground, releasing a sparkly powder which made the muscle-bound bumblebees stand up and begin to wander. "Oh my god, it worked. They..." Beth waved her arm in the direction of her four-man crew, her chest jiggling under her shiny white regal fluff as she desperately made the attempt to communicate, "They can't recognize me anymore, can they?"

"That is correct. Your pheromones can't be detected by their smell. Your own instincts to try to seize their attention by motion are a normal behavior," Francine nodded matter-of-factly, jotting more notes down, "The effect on your Knights will last from five to ten minutes. Please use this time to try to make them react to your commands, Madame Myers."

"I... I'll try," a saddened Beth put a finger under her chin as she pouted, thinking it was pitiable to watch her Knights wander aimlessly, as if from one second to another, they had all but forgotten about her. "Sebastian...?" she tried, having to raise her voice, "Jeffrey? Alfred, Edwin? Come to me...?" That's when four pairs of feelers stood up straight as the males turned to the curvaceous red-head. Their black eyes focused on Beth's, she began to regain her smile. "Oh, thank god. It's not just the pheromones, you... Eeek!" a sudden girlish scream left Beth as she was tackled by all four Knights at once, the shorter but decidedly strong bumblebee metamorphs toppling their queen. "Ah, s-stop... hey! That tickles... hee-hey...!" Beth giggled as her Knights began to cuddle and nuzzle her with affection, eventually laughing and patting and hugging them back.

Francine had already left the queen bee alone, a secret smile on her lips. "That's right, Queen. They love you as much as you love them, regardless of their obligation to protect you," the eel quietly thought as she approached Charlie at the gym.

The scorpioness turned her face away from the barbell in her hands. "Hey Frannie. How's everyone doing?"

"Tres bien I must say, but there still is room for improvement, oui. I see you added another half kilotons to the carbonic rod. Is your exoskeleton holding alright even through that much exertion, Madame Richards?"

Charlie huffed a bit, releasing some air as she pushed the impossibly heavy weight away from her round chest and onto the graphite holders. She sat up later, wincing a bit due to the soreness in her arms, "You were spot on with that energy bar, Frannie. I had no idea I was using so much sugar to make my armor. If I keep working on my stamina like you said, it should be a cinch to make it last even through hard hitting attacks."

"Oui. Don't forget to eat a second bar after your work out. It would be optimal if you could keep your exoskeleton active throughout an entire day after training."

"Ah! Give me a break, Frannie!" Charlie laughed with a small pant, "You finally give me clothes that don't burst when I put my armor on and you want me to keep it up all day?!"

"Well, you said you wanted results when Uncle Pierre suggested this training method. I will put the request to Monsieur Anderson for more ingredients. It's important to keep your sugar and protein reserves high for your exoskeleton to remain on even after prolonged muscular exertion."

"Yeah, about that, I don't suppose you can make the bars a little tastier right? They're like chewing through cardboard, sweetened cardboard but..." To that, Francine let out an amused giggle.

"Oh Madame Richards, you're funny. I'm a scientist, not a chef. But I will see about maybe adding cocoa to them."

"What, no artificial donut flavor?" the scorpion girl tried, getting a shake of the head from Francine.

"Incidentally, is it fine if I ask for your assistance for my own routine now, Madame Richards?"

Charlie blinked, "Huh. Oh, right. Just give me a second, I'll stretch and be ready." Bouncing off the bench, Charlie began to stretch her sore muscles to help their recovery, "Ahh, my arms are on fire. Maybe I overdid it with the bench press..." she thought to herself as Francine put her bag down and began to stretch herself. The electrical eel metamorph's olive green SUN suit was an agreeable contrast to her otherwise ebony skin and complemented the bright color of her spinal and head fins. Charlie still couldn't believe how a girl as young as Francine could have the body she had: Shy of 18 years old, the French girl boasted a curvaceous form that rivaled Queen's, and if they had been the same height, would probably surpass. Kim had been somewhat spot on earlier about the highly developed 5'2'' tall Francine's assets.

"Alright, I'm in your hands if I lose control, Madame Richards." Francine fished out two pieces of equipment from her bag, holding them in front of her huge chest.

"Right," Charlie nodded, taking a remote with a single button on the center as they both moved away to a bigger area in the training chamber. "Hold on Frannie. Aren't you going to take your suit off for this?"

"Honhonhon. No need for that, Madame Richards," Francine laughed in a somewhat dignified manner that almost made Charlie cringe, but she forced a smile through it, "My Specialized Ultra Nanofiber suit is made of extremely dense and elastic strands. In addition to its outward insulation, its elasticity should be more than enough to contain me. And if they are not... well, science is about experimenting!"

"Ah... ohh... r-right!" Charlie quickly nodded, feeling uneasy all of a sudden.

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah, go ahead. Invert polarity if you smack your tail down twice, right?" Charlie asked, standing back while Francine nodded. The eel attached a rectangular object on her right flank's holder and flipped a switch. The pack began to whirr and instantly it sparked with some electricity.

To Francine, interacting with electrical currents wasn't any different to a fish swimming through water. It was the most natural thing to do to an electrokinetic, and thanks to her unique biology, she could not only manipulate and interact with electrons, but also utilize them to generate and absorb energy within her own body. "Electrocyte count is increasing at a fast pace already... I have to concentrate." Francine glanced at the counter on her gear, which doubled as a compact high-capacity battery as well as an electric cell scanner and counter. She tried to relax as she felt her body tingle with energy.

With every additional watt coursing through her, Francine could feel a familiar tingle spread through her midsection and to the rest of her body. She closed her eyes and felt herself tremble as her body began to inch towards the ceiling, growing taller and taller. Her long legs became more prominent as Francine swelled, her arms and shoulders gaining thickness to them as she acquired bulk on top of height. Her already impressive bust inflated against her tight top, making Charlie gulp as the sparking Galvanika already passed her own height and went on to grow taller than Shade herself at 6ft. tall. Inch upon inch, Francine became a bigger and bigger eel, the fabric of her olive SUN suit stretching over her expanding curves, her growing muscles and swelling form.

A gasp of delight left Francine's lips as she jerked and suddenly exploded with size, shooting up a whole foot taller in a moment. "Ah! Frannie?!" Charlie cried out of concern, but Francine, eyes still closed, shook her head slowly.

"I'm fine. Watch my tail only, s'il vous plait..." the eel begged, trying to keep quiet in spite of wanting to release a moan of pleasure as she outgrew Beth's impressive 7ft. form and continued to rapidly add to her bulk. Her muscles became visible and defined, but didn't go past an athletic build the same as she had exhibited during all of her growth spurts. With long, womanly legs, thick thighs, wide hips, a curvy waist, a muscular back and abdominal section, strong arms and her enormous pair of breasts, Francine had quickly gained the body of a sensual model in mere minutes. All Charlie could do was stare and keep check on Francine's long and growing tail. Bit by bit, the electric eel's expansion was getting her near the 10ft. mark already, the SUN suit miraculously still on. "I can do it. I can keep my urges in check..."

"Frannie, you've gotten to your mark! You got to 10ft.! Congrats!" Charlie grinned.

"Th-this is nothing, Mon petit Stinger!" Francine stuttered as the pleasurable sensations only grew in intensity. Her body was absorbing larger and larger quantities of electricity at a time, pumping her taller and taller still. "I'm confident I can well surpass my limits now!"

"A-are you sure, Frannie?"

"Yes, I can do it. Mon Dieu, this feels amazing..."

Charlie shuddered a bit, "But don't forget last time you...""

"I said I can do it!" the Amazonian eel snapped, fists clenching together as she opened her charged eyes and glared down at her team-mate, "Do not interrupt Galvanika unless... ohh..." Francine panted, unable to keep herself focused anymore. The pleasure had become such that she simply had to get more. Francine reached down to her energy packet and tore it off its hinges, opening her maw, ready to push it onto her tongue.

"Oh shi-" Charlie gasped in surprise; the moment Francine referred to herself in the third person was indicative already, but when the 12ft. tall and growing giantess attempted to eat the battery Charlie had seen enough. She didn't wait and pushed the button on the remote, changing the color of the blue sparks to red. The magnetic incongruence caused a snap to occur and for Francine and the battery to be forcibly separated. Charlie narrowed ducked to avoid being slammed by the flying packet and grinned, thanking her reflexes. "Whew, you're alright now Frannie. Now let's work to get you... uh..." the scorpioness paused as she saw a growing looming shadow engulfing hers and turned around to see a wobbling Galvanika fall to her knees before she began to collapse forwards. Charlie winced in advance: "Knockers."

Smoosh.
