What followed was a blur. Petra immediately put on the gauntlet and found herself with admin powers, since Jesse promised to her that they would stick together. Her form seemed to be just like her champion Armor only with a light bluish color scheme, similar to the color of her normal bandana.
Jesse debated whether he could trust Radar with those powers. But eventually decided that these powers can get deadly if they were in the wrong hands, so he kept the gauntlet. They decided to use the disguise ability to disguise as themselves in human forms so that they wouldn't scare the living daylights out of Xara when they got back.
In the book, Fred stressed that the gauntlet was to be stored under high lock at all times and is only to be used as a last resort only. And Jesse concluded that this counted as a last resort. When they got back to the Oasis, Xara didn't suspect anything…. Yet. She had finished the portal and Jesse let off the fireworks, which seemed to make her mad.
"What do you think you're doing? The portal is hidden for a reason, to keep things away!" Xara shouted at Jesse as he let off the fireworks, glaring at him.
"This is our way to get Jack and the others!" Jesse replied.
"Great! That won't be a burden!" Xara retorted sarcastically. "The weapon is what we need! Not bodies to throw at the problem. People just complicate things. Make everything messy. Inefficient."
"It takes a village, Xara." Jesse reasoned. "You knew that once!"
"Right. And then I learned that lesson!" Xara said. "As you can see, the portal is fully functional. You complete your end?"
"Yup. I got it all worked out." Jesse replied. He pulled out the book.
"Here is Fred's weapon." Jesse said. He gave Xara the book, then debated whether to give Xara the gauntlet just yet.
"Potato? Hmm." Xara said, she was now on the verge of tears. "Fred trusted Romeo. Went to him with the best of intentions and was- was- AUGH! There is no redemption in Romeo, none. He needs to be stopped, once and for all. He deserves it. Worse. For this and everything else. It's the only way." Xara was ranting her head off now.
"There is no rebuilding. I have nothing now!" Xara said. Looking away from Jesse. Jesse pulled out Xara's bed and gave it to her.
"There are good things left, if you look for them!" Jesse said
"That you would… I—I'm not used to being wrong." Xara replied.
"And there is something else" Jesse said. Pulling out the gauntlet and showing it to Xara. Xara's eyes widened immediately.
"Where did you find that!?" Xara asked in an almost demanding voice. It was obvious she knew what it was.
"It was underneath the book!" Jesse replied as he watched Xara put the gauntlet on. Another blinding flash of white light. And Xara was an admin once again. Her form was different to what Jesse was expecting. Her skin was a yellow-greenish tinge. Her pupils were pink, and her body was purple with pink lines and yellow glowing gems.
(Author's Notes: This form is actually present in the game's files as an unused texture. It can also be seen on a painting when Xara found that her bed was missing at the beginning of S2, EP4.)
Jesse, feeling that it was safe now, took off his human disguise. To say that Xara was shocked was an understatement. She looked like she was about to say something when the giant enderman from before decided it wanted to show up now. Not only that. But hordes of mobs were swarming in from every angle.
"Ugh! Just what we needed. Well, looks like we got some fighting to do." Jesse called out, floating into the air.
(Author's notes: Fitting music for this admin fight would be Vandoorea's remix of Vortal Combat from Half-Life 2: Episode Two.)
What followed next was a giant lightshow that the people from Fred's keep could see. Jesse, Petra and Xara in their admin forms were beating the living daylights out of the mobs that were swarming in. Jesse blinked Radar over to Fred's keep, telling him to fetch them. This continued for 10 minutes, and they weren't even tired.
By then, Fred's keep, alongside Radar had showed up. To say that Fred's keep was surprised was an understatement.
"Holy crap, I've never seen a bunch of admins being this brutal to a bunch of mobs! They're freaking tearing them up!" One person from the group shouted.
After the mobs were driven off, Jack showed up. He looked like he'd seen better days. The group decided to head for the surface. Jesse couldn't wait to see the look on Romeo's face when he turned up.
"Three admins against one. I'm not betting in Romeo's favour here!" Petra said.
"It won't do to underestimate though, Fred did that, and he ended up paying very dearly for that!" Xara responded.
With a clap of Xara's hands. Everyone was teleported up to the surface. They didn't teleport directly into Beacontown. But just on the outskirts of it.
"Ugh! Does teleporting always have to be so disorienting?" Jesse complained upon arrival.
"You get used to it." Xara responded, then turned to the rest of the group.
"You guys head for cover. Things are about to get real nasty!" Xara said when they arrived. Fred's keep, and the others headed for the old order of the stone's temple and took shelter there while Jesse, Petra and Xara continued on.
The admins looked at Beacontown. There was a giant floating tower standing in the middle of the town. Fireworks were being set off there. Jesse knew that Romeo was up to no good up there. But that won't be the case for very long. Using his new powers. He floated up just high enough, so he can get a good look at the streets but wouldn't be seen should Romeo decide to look up at the sky. What Jesse saw almost horrified him.
Iron guards were patrolling the streets, they looked just like Big Hank and Large Henry from the sunshine institute, only they were red instead of purple. Citizens were cowering in fear and there were banners of 'Jesse' stuck everywhere. Yeah, that's the very definition of 'up to no good'.
"Guys, what do you say we crash this little party." Jesse said to the group.
"Definitely!" Petra yelled back.
Xara just rolled her eyes. She never really cared for such excitement like that. She was always a moody person. The time in the sunshine institute just made her moodier. They spotted Romeo in Jesse disguise who was arguing with Axel and Olivia. Stella was trailing behind them.
"I'd be very careful if I were you guys, or there might not be a home to go back to at all." Romeo said, barely audible from the distance Jesse was at. The gates in front of beacontown opened.
"It's just so easy for something bad to happen to a town. Like Champion City for example, and BOOP!" Romeo clapped his hands and what followed would have horrified even PAMA.
Champion City was blown up and destroyed.
Author's Notes: So yeah, that just happened.
If you like it, review. If you don't, just look up something else.
