I'd all but given up on writing another portal story when a conversation with my brother got me thinking about what happens when a Bad Guy gets a weapon. The protagonist of 'The Arbiter' (Greg) is actually based loosely on another brother of mine, who while not really being a Bad Guy, certainly is looser of morals than is common these days. I've written quite a few chapters already and have the character arc (mostly) planned. I hope you enjoy.
