Finally, the excessive light receded and allowed the users to see the mods again.
Zion gasped upon noticing the mods’ true forms. They expected the mods to resemble A somewhat, but they were different.
Instead of being a cloud-like shape, the mods became twenty feet tall (and that’s 609 centimeters) version of themselves, almost tall enough to be level with the building Mystic was on. Their actual forms resembled their human disguises, although slightly transparent and with an iridescent sheen to them (the same effect you see with bubbles and enchanted Minecraft items).
MysticZone (stares down and notes in a bored tone): When the media says villains have better character designs, they weren’t joking.
ZionandBirddo (frozen): The mods look a lot more human than I expected.
i’m batman (with the hammer still trying to bonk him): Um, please make it quick. This hammer’s hits tickle me but now it’s getting annoying!
WBO Staff 1 (does the cliché superhero intro): When Pandora opened up her jar, out came A the origin of humanity’s evils. But also coming from the jar was us — the origin of hope for the world.
WBO Staff 2: Hold up, that introduction sounds a lot lamer now that you said it. (Gets stares from the others) What?
ZionandBirddo: Are you guys saying you knew A the entire time? And you allowed him onto the WBO anyway?
MysticZone (glares at Zion): Everybody on the WBO is so stupid. Why is it even surprising anymore?
WBO Staff 1: I mean, the WBO doesn’t discriminate and bar age groups, okay?
WBO Staff 3: We have to allow century-old beings in.
ZionandBirddo (bluntly): Big WBO moment.
i’m batman (runs away but the hammer keeps coming): Sit! You’re a good hammer if you sit. (The hammer falls to the ground) Woah, that actually works!
WBO Staff 1: Looks like one of our Ban Hammers like a user. (Zion sighs out. This is getting to weird) Or he has powers too.
WBO Staff 2 (stretches): Anyway, ouch. This form HURTS A LOT. After how many years of being a normal human being? And I don’t remember being very uncomfortable with being transparent.
WBO Staff 3: Now we have to explain our true forms to the rest of the team. As if bullying other WBO users about their height was done enough.
ZionandBirddo: Really? Only you three are supernatural beings and every other staff member is a normal person?
MysticZone: You have to be kidding. How else would the team promote WBO users? You can’t just go around trying to find non-human folks. That’s just species discrimination. Use your brain.
WBO Staff 1: ...What Mystic said.
MysticZone: Anyway, I am not afraid of some twenty feet-tall mods. My bravery has no boundaries and I don’t see why I should run away.
Galactic Flood (still on the phone): Mystic, hurry up and pick up your phone. It’s on the ground! Seriously. Are you getting defeated or something or should I annoy you even more so you can pay attention to me.
Mystic stomped on his phone and crushed it to pieces. He scowled at the ruined object and then sighed out. He slowly turned his attention back to the mods below.
MysticZone: You three are somewhat like gods. And you are mods — you can just unban all of these users and fix the WBO. And you should have done that a long time ago instead of dawdling and being “Oh no we must pretend to be short!”
Zion and batman simply stare at Mystic. How dare he taunt the mods?
MysticZone (notices they didn’t respond): I’m being serious. B harassed and tried to debate with some people, and you guys didn’t do anything until Pixsus and Delta and Cheeto were tied up. I’m not afraid of you.
WBO Staff 1 (unimpressed): Oh, you’re asking for it. You’re right — we should just get rid of you instead of dawdling. Get out the Ban Hammer.
Zion widened their eyes. Batman didn’t understand until WBO Staff 2 pulled out a large weapon from out of nowhere. Then everyone in proximity gasped.
It was a large, ancient-looking hammer unlike the Home Depot-styled one hitting batman. Its handle was made of stainless steel and iron, engraved with mysterious symbols. The head of the hammer was a rectangular stone with veins of glowing gold.
ZionandBirddo: It’s the Ban Hammer.
i’m batman: No way!
WBO Staff 2: With that attitude of yours and destroying the WBO like this, I don’t see why we shouldn’t permanently ban you from the WBO.
WBO Staff 1: Yeah! No chance of appeal. Not to mention I’ve been disliking your attitude the entire time you’ve been on the WBO. It’s both mean and joking at the same time and overall suspicious.
MysticZone: That’s what makes me an iconic user. Take it or leave it.
WBO Staff 3: And you’re going to take the ban and leave. (Turns to WBO Staff 2) Get to banning!
WBO Staff 2 points the master Ban Hammer up at Mystic. Without a warning, a very large yellow beam blasted at Mystic. It was so big that it went blasted through the building with the force of a train.
Mystic’s eyes could only widen briefly before he was hit with the beam.
In no time, he realized that he wasn’t just banned from the WBO — every time he tried to open up the site, his internet browser acted like it didn't exist. He couldn’t even find traces of the WBO in his browser history! Now this was the force of the master Ban Hammer.
WBO Staff 1 (points at Zion before they can even react): You and the batman user, you’re coming with us. You’re going to a special place.
WBO Staff 3 (summons back the golden Ban Hammer): And I suppose it’s time to lock down the forums too. Right after we unban everyone, of course. (WBO Staff 2 nods)

Spoiler (Click to View)
And so, the lights are out for the entire WBO. Mystic’s destruction with the Ban Hammer resulted in so many buildings being destroyed and so many users being banned. From heroes such as GhostFox to mere acquaintances of Sands, such as Nitrogenic and ShiningShout. It was right for the WBO to be down at the moment due to the chaos.
Tenma is left unrescued. People like Pixi and Pink are stuck to discuss the aftermath in their own servers. Even B and Longinox suffered from the A Crisis, having been knocked out by tenma. Cinder? Don’t know where he is. Everyone is confused.
The only users restless were the WBO mods, Zion, and batman. It was the three supernatural mods (now in their human disguises) who were leading the two users through the Discord realm.
The five of them stopped before a mysterious-looking portal, which was a gateway to a secret server.
i’m batman: Really? We can’t invite Pixi, Delta, Cheeto, or anyone else along? Just us?
ZionandBirddo: No Cinder either?
WBO Staff 1: Say what you will, but we mods selected you two because you guys are special. And, er, Cinder shouldn’t be here because of private reasons. (Zion raises an eyebrow)
i’m batman: Is this the WBO mod server?
WBO Statf 2 (frowns): For legal reasons, this is what we call the Mod Hangout server. We cannot show you our master server where we create new rules and announcements.
WBO Staff 3: Because you guys obviously aren’t staff members.
ZionandBirddo: Then why are we going with you guys?
WBO Staff 1: We just need a private place to tell you guys something. And to show you someone you all must have been waiting for.
WBO Staff 2: We technically could’ve gone to your house to announce something but that’s impolite of us to. (Zion stares at them like ‘isn’t that illegal’)
WBO Staff 3 (yawns): Yes, humans must have manners and we have to use manners.
One by one, each of them goes into the portal.
This server was entirely closed, as if the server was one giant building instead of an open-world dimension like the WBO. Zion thought that maybe this was to indicate how super secretive and private this Discord server was.
The home room was a dark area lit up by ceiling lights and various TVs. It resembled somewhat of a hotel check-in area, albeit a little bit more dark and kind of creepy.
There were three visible people in the room and standing in one corner, where all the fancy chairs were. One was a fair boy with brown hair, another a black girl with cotton-candy hair, and another a purple-skinned being with an eyepatch. Most notable about the demon-like being was how she towered over them and her formal-looking plum dress.
Zion clearly knew who those are. Taka was the boy, Fumi was the girl, and Lucifer was the demonic being.
Taka (sees Zion and is surprised): More visitors? That’s a surprise.
Fumi (hands on hips): Maybe something is happening on the WBO lately. Too many people are coming in and too many mods are coming out. The mods barely have any time for us anymore.
Taka: No one has time for us, I suppose. Despite the fact we are on the home page of the WBO as their mascots.
Lucifer (voice low and sarcastic): Very fun, isn’t it? Everyone gets to see you guys on the home page. That’s so cool, though.
Taka: But uh, don’t they just walk past us? I don’t think most of the users know our names.
Fumi (pokes Lucifer): Yeah, like, they mostly know us as “the WBO boy Blader and the WBO girl Blader.” Or something. For an unofficial mascot of a small server, you have more fanart than we do.
Lucifer (changes her voice to Fumi’s): Yeah, fanart is cool. (Taka and Fumi stare at each other)
WBO Staff 1 (walks past the mascots): Ignore them, youngsters. Our mascot friends are a little bit stressed from all the WBO drama lately.
WBO Staff 2: Ignore him — you may say hi to the mascots. Make their day.
ZionandBirddo (stares at Lucifer): You’re Lucy!
WBO Staff 1: Excuse me? We need to tell them something!
WBO Staff 3 shrugged. That left the humans to interact with the WBO mascots.
Lucifer (in an old man’s voice, unimpressed): And?
Taka: Wow, for someone with so many fans, you sure hate seeing one (Fumi elbows him, afraid he would get Lucy mad) — OW!
i’m batman (holds out piece of paper): Could you give me an autograph? Actually, it’s for someone else and he’s been meaning to get one. (Taka and Fumi glance at each other) Please?
Lucifer (in a normal woman’s voice now): I suppose so. But sadly, I don’t have a pen or pencil on me.
Taka (points a thumb at himself): And I’m Taka, the boy Blader you see on the homepage of the WBO.
Fumi (holds up pen): I have a pen. Maybe you could take autographs from us first, and then Lucifer?
i’m batman (sweats): That’s okay, we can —
ZionandBirddo (because of Lucifer’s height, Zion has to wave hands up at her face): Sorry to ruin the moment, but if you’re here then… (Looks around) Is Sands here?
WBO Staff 3 (stares): Come on, guys. We need to take the elevator and you’re just dawdling. Mods are busy people.
WBO Staff 1: I don’t blame anyone for wanting WBO kids to be banned. They’re slow to do anything meaningful. (Watches Zion try to catch Lucy’s attention)
WBO Staff 2 (elbows 3): Give them a break. They witnessed their favorite website being destroyed and they should have a fun time.
WBO Staff 3: I suppose we should have fun too, then. (Rings a bell) Anyone? I would like what mortals call a Bey Bread, thank you very much.
WBO Staff 1 (sighs): Fine… (Calls out to nearby butlers) I want the same bread, too!
Lucifer (puffs out a bit of purple fire from her mouth): Sands? Haven’t seen her in a while. I hope she’s okay.
Fumi: Actually, we just saw a user the other day. Think she was staying here for a couple days on one of the floors above. Her name was… Savior, I think?
Taka (chuckles): I can only think of Savior Valkyrie.
i’m batman: Didn’t Sands go by the name “Savior” as well? What an odd name choice.
ZionandBirddo (unimpressed): And then she literally faked her death to leave the WBO in shambles. Cool.
Lucifer: I mean, news flash, a lot of the names she goes by online start with an “S.”
i’m batman: Haha, “Sus.”
Lucifer (green eye glows dangerously): I hate that word. Say that one more time and I won’t mind ripping you to shreds.
ZionandBirddo (backs off a little): Okay, but Sands is here, right?
Lucifer: Yeah! I think… I mean, listen to Fumi. She’s smart.
Fumi: Yeah, there was definitely a girl named Savior here. She was talking to some WBO mods the other day.
Taka: Are you guys still interested in having autographs? Maybe we can stay and have a Beybattle while we are at it, too.
i’m batman (pulls out a pencil): Aha, got a pencil at last.
i’m batman proceeded to pester Lucy for autographs, leaving Taka and Fumi frustrated without attention. The large humanoid avatar sighed out, as she received lots of similar requests before. Especially from the Cinder guy the other day.
Meanwhile, Zion was in the back. They were thinking about why they were here and how far they'd go.
ZionandBirddo (thinks in head): So there’s a good chance Sands is here, thanks to what the mascots said. I hope they aren’t mistaking someone else. And the staff also have business with us! I wonder what is up.
I got a pet hammer! Joy! Also that mod ban hammer is broken if it can prevent you from ever finding the WBO again on your browser. I feel bad for Taka and Fumi, they're so underrated.
