It's the anniversary. Glam would very much not like to celebrate.
It’s their last day on Winslow High—they’re being transferred to Arcadia on Monday—and also their last day without a patrol schedule assigned.
And the PRT released a small announcement on its website about Glam joining the Wards. Now their wiki page doesn’t get erased, of course—they’re no longer speculative. They wonder what it’s got on them.

Hookwolf's opponent—
is pretty strong. Like, grab-Hookwolf-with-his-bare-hands-and-hold-him-above-his-head-then-throw-him-at-Armsmaster-and-Chevalier strong.
The striker continues running here and there, zig-zagging and trying to not be caught by the wire. One time she gets close to it, but she rolls and boops the wire into the past—farther back than its existence, so it just vanishes. Glam provides Velocity with more.
The door to the warehouse Purity & Hookwolf were trying to blast open starts opening on its own.

Velocity tries to lasso the striker.
Hookwolf, having been thus flung, recovers quickly, notices that his backup is down, and concludes the other brute out-brutes him. He runs off.
Velocity finally manages to lasso the striker when she backs up into one of the patches of projected light. He solidifies and yanks to pull the wire tight.
Chevalier, groaning, un-heaps himself from Armsmaster and motorcycle, and produces his weapon to level at the fireball guy.

The other brute roars again, except this time the sound is somewhat less human. His whole body is now covered in scales and his eyes are two pools of molten metal. He decides Hookwolf isn't a worthy target and starts throwing (really, really big) fireballs at the two veteran heroes.
Armsmaster reacts quickly, pressing a button on his halberd to make an energy shield appear and absorb the fire blasts. It's probably not going to hold on for very long.
The striker thus lasso'd first instinctively rewinds a minute back, but the wire is still tying her up, so she reaches down to boop it. However, Glam's waiting for her nearby (having been keeping track of the lights Lorica put on the way) and says, "Boom, witch!" before stunning her.

"Robots are going to try to fuck with fireguy's vision in three, two, one," says Lorica, and the remaining robot flock, no longer needing to paint a path of where the striker might land, flash bright as they can right in the molten eyes of the blaster.
The blaster explodes in a blast of fire, and uses his (now clawed) hands to swat robots away. He looks over his shoulder to see the striker unconscious, then decides to charge at Chevalier, breaking Armsmaster's shield on contact.
After the doors of the warehouse are fully open, four vans are visible and start leaving. At the same time, though, a PRT van pulls up and five PRT soldiers exit the van, each carrying a containment foam gun.

Robots are suffering some serious attrition now. "I'm down to one and a half bots!"
Chevalier levels his blade against the charge, squinting against the fire. His sword is suddenly much longer.

Fireball guy is hit by the sword but apparently his scales are just that tough. He's not cut, and in three powerful strides he's on Chevalier and then Chevalier's on Armsmaster with so much force both of them hit a building's wall and crack it. Without waiting to see if he was successful, he runs at the downed striker, grabs her, and starts bolting away.
Glam switches gun and shoots at him, to very little effect. The PRT officers divide in two groups, one to contain the four vans trying to escape and the other to foam the guy. He blasts the air around himself before the foam can get him and continues running.

The one last fully functional robot follows him in the air to get an idea of where he's going -
—and he jumps to the top of a building with a single leap, bounding from building to building. When he looks over his shoulder and notices the robot, he lunges after it and tries hitting it with a massive (though not as massive as his previous) fireball.

It melts. Lorica has half a robot.
"And he's gone. Went north a block and then killed the bot."

"Goddamnit," curses Armsmaster.
Purity is contained in foam (even if she is unconscious) and the other gang members have been apprehended, having mostly surrendered after noticing the presence of five different heroes and a PRT team.
The four vans were packed with contraband weapons and ammo, so that's what the E88 were after, probably.
"Well it could've been worse," says Glam.

"Yeah, nobody's dead. You did the 'this is stun gun' thing twice, FYI."

"What? No, I didn't!" Pause. "Uh. Unless it was after I got booped."
Armsmaster dusts himself and overviews the battlefield. "We ran past a press van on our way." He looks up and sure enough, there's a helicopter up there. "Capturing Purity, though, not bad at all."

Lorica picks up the bot which can't fly but otherwise works, and the salvageable-looking parts of a couple others, and gets the downed one into flying shape with the emergency tools in their compartment on her armor so she won't be without a scout on their way home. Chevalier compliments everyone on their teamwork and ingenuity. The PRT hauls the foamed Purity away. Gang members are arrested. Contraband goes wherever seized contraband goes.

Glam is actually quite happy with it all! That right there is what they signed up for when they decided to go out in costume.

At some point they debrief, explaining their findings to the rest of the team (adults and Wards) and speculating about the powers of the two new capes.
There's quite a lot of media surrounding the fact that Purity was captured for the first time, and helicopter footage of the end of the fight sparks wild speculation on the two new villains as well as the new Ward. The footage doesn't show much, and of course the Protectorate PR department had a hand in making the heroes look pretty good, editing out the parts where Chevalier and Armsmaster were about as useful as pins. Still, it's pretty clear that a lot of the job was done by Lorica and Glam.
Conclusion: Glam is really ducking happy when they decide to go visit Lorica in her workshop the following day.

Lorica has made enough bots that two can shoo her away from her workbench and one can bump softly into her helmet holding a sandwich. She grumbles but takes the sandwich. "Hi, Glam."

"Well, it's because all those times I talked about building a reputation by taking Purity down I'd been joking. Have you seen the news? And the PHO Forums?"
thinkering
"No, but I take it you like what they're saying." Sandwich. Munch munch.

"I doooooo!" he singsongs as he floats about. "I mean, I didn't take her down by myself of course, but people watching the footage are all going 'the heroes don't look like they did much, they mostly fought dragon guy, Lorica and Glam did most of the work with Purity' and the tinfoil hats are going wild on what I can or cannot do." He is currently sitting cross-legged in the air, and hanging upside down.
