Author's note: THIS IS IT! THE LONG-AWAITED SEQUEL TO OUR BELOVED STORY 'NOTHING STAYS THE SAME'. THIS IS INTENDED TO BE A TRILOGY, BUT MAY JUST END UP BEING TWO FAN FICTIONS, DEPENDING ON HOW FAR I GET. I MAY MESS WITH THE SERIES LATER, BUT FIRST I MUST WRAP UP WHAT I STARTED.
Primarily, my main goal will be to work out how Gogo gets out of the frozen wasteland of Nothing that Leah sent her to. This story will mainly feature her, with some things about the others from time to time. Definite Melodiro (Melody (Melon) X Hiro) Also possible moderate Leashi (Leah X Tadashi)
Please review if you like!
If you remember what happens in Nothing Stays the Same, feel free to skip this.
For anybody that chooses to start with this, I will provide a quick (or not so quick) summary of 'Nothing Stays the Same' (Spoilers, obviously):
This is a Post-Movie style fan fiction, however Tadashi has survived the fire. Hiro, Gogo, and Tadashi are all saved from an attack by Annabeth Chase- who takes them to camp half-blood. They all turn out to be demigods. Hiro and Tadashi are children of Athena, while Gogo is a daughter of Ares. Gogo gets chosen to lead a quest to find out more about rumors that someone is trying to awaken a titan. She chooses Tadashi and Annabeth as her companions, but Hiro sneaks along anyways, and in the end he is allowed to stay with them. They go to Cass's cafe, planning on getting gear, but Aunt Cass catches them, and reveals that she's always known they were demigods, and is one herself. As well, she tells Hiro and Tadashi that they have a long-lost sister- Gogo. Their memories of having her as a sister were removed, but they get them back shortly after. They then take Baymax over to the island where they fought Callaghan, and find out that a daughter of Poseidon with ice powers named Leah is amassing an army of monsters. They pretend to be part of her army in order to spy on her, but they have no idea that she knows they are spying on her. They meet two other demigods- Melon, who Hiro begins to develop a crush on, and Dakota, who trains with Gogo. However, Leah sends one of her minions to capture Tadashi, and makes him help her by threatening Hiro. She manages to manipulate him into killing Callaghan- who had been working for her. A patrol captures Annabeth, and both Hiro and Gogo are revealed as spies. In the fight the rest of the Big Hero 6 and demigods from Camp Half blood come to help. Leah saves Hiro's life, but then almost kills him. Gogo stops her, but Leah uses her ice magic to send Gogo into a coma. Then she stabs Hiro in the heart, but right after begins to feel different, and manages to save his life just in time. The thing that had been sort of controlling Leah loses its power, and she and the rest of the demigods from her army destroy the monsters. They return to camp Half Blood, where Melon and Hiro officially become boyfriend and girlfriend. Tadashi also begins to develop feelings for Leah, and convinces Jelen, an emotionless daughter of Hades that was Leah's right-hand girl, to bring her brother- who the gods had killed, sending Leah into her murderous rage- back from the dead. Meanwhile, Gogo is trapped in a ice-covered wasteland called Nothing. On the outside she appears to be in a coma.
And that's where we left off.
Gogo's POV
I don't know how long I've been by this fire for. Leah- at least the pale, thin, girl that sat beside me who said she was Leah and looked just like her- said it had been two weeks. That was a long time. I had tried to leave, but she stopped me each time. Eventually, I stopped trying. Maybe I was just screwed anyways.
Besides, it was all I could do to just keep alive each day. My sense of identity seemed to flux and change. Sometimes I almost forgot my own name. Sometimes it was my friend's names. One day- if it could count as a day in this awful place- I woke up and couldn't remember anything. My name, friend's names, why I was here in the first place. That's when pale-Leah helped, by calmly reminding me of everything until I stopped panicking. I was grateful to her for that- grateful enough that slowly I began to stop thinking of her as an enemy, and started identifying her more as a friend. The real Leah, the one out there, was the enemy. This one was just trying to help me stay alive.
The fire that pale-Leah always stayed next to had grown brighter the past few days. That seemed to make her happy, and she said that maybe the 'controller' thing would leave, and I'd be free to go back to my friends. I told her I wasn't going to wait that long.
Eventually, on the start of another day- or what Leah called a day- I told her I was getting out of here.
Leah jumped to her feet, grabbing my wrist quickly. Her touch was warm- not what I would have expected in a freaking ice world.
"Don't do it!" she pleaded. "You'll die!"
I shook my head. "Leah, they need me to come back. I have to live. Tell me how to get out of here."
Leah let her head drop. "A door. Somewhere in this place. You'll be able to find it- just follow what feels warm. And whatever you do, don't let the controller touch you. If it does, you'll be as good as dead. You'll have to move quickly, because you'll start fading as soon as you step out of this cave. It'll be a slow process- you've been by the fire for a long time. But it'll happen, slowly and surely. Understand?"
I nodded. "Yeah. I understand."
To my surprise, Leah reached into the fire, pulling out a glowing red coal. It didn't appear to burn her, as she cupped it in her hands and blew on it. It blinked, and began to glow brighter, until I could barely look at it. When the glow faded, I looked back to see Leah holding a backpack.
"This will have what you need in it," she said calmly. "You're going to need it once you get out of this cave. It would be suicide to travel without some things. There's just one more thing..." She reached for one of the ice spires, a slightly thinner one. She kicked at it, and it broke in two places, falling to the ground in front of me as a long ice shaft."
"Touch it," she instructed.
I did, and it shimmered, changing into the familiar quarterstaff. I picked it up, expecting it to be cold, but it wasn't."
"Leah... will you come with me?" I asked. "Maybe it you got free, you'd fully be yourself again."
"No. If it got me..." she shuddered. "I would be worse than the monster I was before. You go. You don't belong here anyways. You have something to go to. I'll... I'll be here. And out there, I'll be surviving."
I nodded. "Okay..."
"Now the best you can hope for is for the Controller to be as far away from Haven as possible. But it'll be hunting you as soon as you leave. It'll notice you immediately, so move quickly. And remember, follow the warmth!"
"I will. Thank you Leah."
"You're welcome Gogo. Good luck. Go on."
Before I could change my mind, I shouldered the pack, and strode out of the cave, completely sure I wasn't ever coming back to it.
