One minute, everyone one is Thane's secret room.
The next, everyone was back in the ruined main classroom of Auradon Prep.
The Secret Avengers took a second to take in everything, and not in a good way.
They were full of shock and awe at what Xanos had done.
"He actually did it," gasped Katherine. "Everything is so...evil!"
"This is worse than what his father desired to do years ago when he was still evil," said Dean.
"Everything we loved is gone," Ben said. "Our freedom, our kingdom, every one we loved. My Mal. All is gone because of him. That kid sitting in that big tower!"
He was pointing out the window at Marvel Tower, where he explained the Isle of the Lost once stood.
"The Infinity Gauntlet is in there," said Jane. "Our only way to fix everything lies most likely at the top."
"I'll agree with you there," said Kevin. "But the only question is how are we going to get into there?"
"We don't know the layout or what to expect," said Spencer.
"Well...I may be able to do a quick speed reconnaissance of the entire place," said Oscar. "If I turn super small, and go super fast, I bet I can do it in a minute or less."
"How?" asked Nala. "Even with your wings you aren't that fast."
"I can place a speed spell on you," said Maleficent.
"That was what I was hoping you'd say," said Oscar.
Maleficent spoke some words and then threw a spell on Oscar. The boy began vibrating extremely fast.
"WHOA!" Oscar yelled quickly. "THISISCRAZY!"
He opened his wings and flew around, landing right back where he was originally in half a second.
"BERIGHTBACK!" he yelled.
He flew right out the window quickly with everyone just watching.
It took 30 seconds and Oscar was right back in the room, and spell had worn off.
"Whoa what a rush!" he gasped.
"Did you get a layout?" asked Chad.
"Yeah, and it's very easy to describe," he said.
"How so?" asked Uma.
"The tower is nothing more than a ton of stairs!" Oscar exclaimed.
"Wait seriously?" asked Ben. "No rooms inside that? No prisons or bedrooms?"
"No," said Oscar. "The Marvels use the castle for that. Well all except Xanos. At the very top is the only room there. A big throne room."
"Wait if you were there, why didn't you grab the freakin' gauntlet!?" yelled Audrey.
"The room was magically impenetrable to me," said Oscar. "I could only see inside from the top view above."
"So no guards, no traps, no nothing?" asked Jafar. "They basically built it for decoration?"
"Well there was one thing," said Oscar. "The place is guarded by an entire army of monster soldiers Xanos created himself. They apparently are made in a place underneath the tower. Which means to get even in there, we're going to have to fight."
"That's fine with me," said Ben. "It's planning time."
Everyone simply sat in chairs that weren't destroyed while Ben wrote on the chalkboard that miraculously wasn't destroyed and chalk that actually still worked.
"This tower is our priority," he said pointing to a picture of the tower he drew. "Our only way inside it is by fighting. Now we know they have an army, but what we don't know is if in that army is heroes who have been turned evil. We must be prepared for anything. Literally anything. We must be as unsurprised as Lyle Tiberius Rourke."
"We should be the ones going first," said Maleficent. "Me, Cruella, Jafar, and Evil Queen can go full monster. We can keep the army at bay and take out the most, maybe giving all of you a chance to get through and take out less of the enemy."
"Okay then," said Ben. "What we also don't know is if the Marvels intend to join the fight too."
"If they do, we will fight them," said Katherine. "And I'm not saying it because we think you're weak. We know them. We can have an advantage."
"Very well," said Ben. "Like I said, the enemy knows we're coming. We don't know what to expect. But we must succeed. Failure is not even a thought that should be in anyone's minds. In fact, I shouldn't even be saying the word. That gauntlet is our only hope."
"Once we retrieve that gauntlet, I'll teleport us all back to here," said Jane. "Then we use it to bring everyone back, revert the heroes back to good, and turn Auradon good again as well."
"It's a plan," said Ben. "Everyone get ready. If you need weapons, our armory still has them. We depart in five minutes."
Everyone nodded and got up to prepare, except for Dean, who walked towards Ben.
"Your highness," she said.
"Call me Ben," Ben said politely.
"I have something that I want you to have," Dean said.
She reached into her armor and pulled out a bright red glowing feather.
"This is a phoenix feather," she said. "The last one in existence. My father gave it to me long ago, and now I'm giving it to you."
"That's kind," said Ben. "But I can't accept a gift from your father."
"It's not just a gift," said Dean. "Phoenix feathers were made into necklaces long ago because they literally have the ability to bring the wearer of one back to life upon death."
"Wait seriously?" gasped Ben.
"This battle could be dangerous," said Dean. "And I want you to be able to be with your true love again, so this may come in handy."
Ben smiled and took the feather and wrapped it around his neck.
"Thank you, Deanna," he said.
Dean nodded and walked off to prepare.
After five minutes, everyone returned, armored up, weapon in hand, and ready for a fight.
"This is it," said Jane. "We have waited two years for a day like this to come."
"Time to get that gauntlet and make those rotten to the core Marvels pay!" yelled Doug.
"Secret Avengers, Ex-Villains, and heroes!" yelled Ben. "To war!"
Everyone yelled out and charged out of the school.
It was truly time to get the gauntlet and fix everything.
They would succeed. They had to succeed.
"Whatever it takes," Ben said in his mind.
Time for war! Will they succeed? Will Ben really need to use that feather? Stay tuned to find out!
