battle of the reds by APoemOfArson

Summary
Red lunges forward, pushing Orange out of the way to surge out from underneath the desk. It’s an awkward position, but The Dark Lord is too shocked to react for a split second. A split second that Red uses to get into a better position, reel his fist back, and punch her square in the face.
She goes flying, back through the hole made by the other stick, easily thirty feet away.
Red raises his hands, staring at them. STRENGTH flashes in the corner of his vision, and he feels powerful.
“What the hell?” he hears Green squawk, and Red has a faint urge to start cackling maniacally, but knowing his friends, they’d take it as proof of possession, so he suppresses the thought.
What would happen if, during the Showdown, Red did end up putting on the Viraband?
What happens is The Dark Lord ends up having a very bad day, much to Red's complete (and occasionally maniacal) delight.

commanding the fight by APoemOfArson

Summary
The staff is still lying on Yellow's bed, undestroyed even after the Virabot's attack. She picks it up and swings it, testing a command, and grins when a block of dirt appears, floating in midair. Hell yeah.
She doesn’t bother using the stairs to get back down, instead leaping out a window and catching herself with the staff’s levitation abilities. She sprints across the dashboard, only stopping for a second to pick up the Minecraft icon and shove it in her pocket.
Hopefully, she won’t need it. Hopefully, she’ll just need the command block. She’ll shoot a couple of commands, make whatever’s evil on the other side chill out or get hurt enough that it stops fighting, that black stick will be like wow, you’re so cool, feel free to put me in a lab and study all my superpowers, and everything will be wonderful and none of her friends will make fun of her for forgetting about the staff when the Virabot attacked.
Yeah, even in her own head she doesn’t believe that, but whatever, those are her new goals for today and she will be seeing them through, thank you very much.
What would happen if Yellow brought along the staff to the Showdown?

bringing a nuke to a gunfight by APoemOfArson

Summary
Orange draws out a little bit more power and shoots across the bay, flying so fast it feels more like teleporting, arriving just in time to grab the black stick by the back of his shirt and hold him back just as he was about to slam a kick into the red stick’s chest.
Her expression immediately contorts from fury into confusion, but she still lets loose the fireball she was halfway through throwing, and Orange throws up an arm to block it, letting the black stick go in the process. They barely even register the burn before it’s wiped away with a flurry of green sparks.
The two sticks stare at them, fight ground to a halt with clear bafflement painted on their faces at what just happened, and Orange beams, happy to finally get a chance to ask some questions.
“So, superpowers, amiright?” they start, and then immediately want to electrocute themself. Their face flushes so deep they wonder if they have any blood left anywhere else in their body, and even their headache retreats for a second, blasted away by the pure recoil of embarrassment.
What would happen if Orange knew about their powers before the Showdown?
