AN: This is really strange and probably not familiar in this category but I wanted to write it. It mainly focuses on the two brothers with Baymax and there are going to be some flashbacks put into it as well. Anyway, thank you for choosing to read it. Whenever I think of evil plans where people turn into dogs I think of Mojo Jojo 😊
A Family Watchdog
Chapter One
Nobody is ever going to find me and even if my brother walked by me today he probably wouldn't even give me a second look. I don't really know how this happened but there were more than microbots at that event. I used to be a student, a human. I used to be Tadashi Hamada, not an unattractive student who made a medical health care robot and tried to use the last moments of my life saving a professor and man I admired and looked up to.
If I had known how certain events would go, maybe I would have stayed with my little brother outside and never gone in. I saw how that same great man stole my brother's technology and then was sent to prison. I shouldn't have been so stupid.
After the time I ran in, I can only remember a little more of my life as that human and then darkness and then I woke up and I wasn't in my own body. It took a while for me to get used to the fact that I was caged that instead of hands and feet, I just had paws. It took a while for me to adjust to the fact that somehow by some unknown method I was trapped in the body of a puppy.
I'm not sure how long ago my life as Tadashi Hamada ended and my life as Experiment T62H6 began.
I sniff the air, somebody new is here and they are going to be put in one of the cages near mine. I hope to never hear his voice, my brother's, I hope that he's keeping himself safe because I wouldn't be able to help him with the creeps here. I curl myself up again and take a look at the spots on my paws. Yes, my life as human student Tadashi Hamada is done and now I'm a Dalmatian puppy they abuse.
I've been told that my mind is still fighting it and when I lose hold of my hope that I'll actually adjust to thinking more like a dog. I don't know how scared I should be that that day will come.
…..
…
I need to remain calm. We've been on missions before and Baymax is ready and has been tested but I'm not sure what kind of tech is down here. There were a number of tunnels that we had to take to get here and I'm not sure how hard the escape is going to be but Wasabi is keeping track of the directions and we're a team. We help one another and lean on one another.
"Hiro, what should we be looking for?" Honey Lemon asks and I shrug before hearing Wasabi panicking that I'm not giving any clues. We just need to be calm and remain silent.
"Dude, it would really help if we figured out what we're trying to find before trying to find it," Wasabi tells me and I just have a sense that I should be down here and that something or someone is pulling me down. I find a door and listen to hear that there is something in there but it's not big. Maybe it's what I've been looking for.
"Woman up," Gogo tells Wasabi and I just want to focus on what is going on, not with any arguing or anxiety. I close my eyes as I feel the lock and then manage to turn the lock on the side. I can hear it turn to the right spot with my ear pressed to the door and as I open the large door – which reminds me of something you'd see inside of a bank and not a house – I fall through and hear dogs yapping.
Did I just take us all down here to break up dog fighting?
"Woooah," Fred says sounding impressed, "Man, that is a lot of puppies. Like a dozen of them," he tells me and I don't think that I was brought down here just for puppies. I try to see what else is going on but Fred goes over to the cages, "Hey little bros," he says as if he's talking to children, "You guys and gals doing okay. Who loves bones?" he asks and then I hear Honey Lemon speaking in a very serious manner.
"Hiro," she whispers to me and I turn to face her, "You need to see this."
I look at the Dalmatian who is asleep in the cage, he looks kind of blissful, I have to agree with that but my focus should not be on a dog.
"Woah, seriously," Gogo says, "Hiro," she calls me over and Fred is looking at the same dog. What is so interesting about this Dalmatian?
"Hiro, you really have to see this," Honey Lemon whispers to me and with a last scan, I come over to her and my eyes widen. There are files attached to the side of all of these cages but these are all files with pictures of people on them. The one that Honey Lemon hands me is a picture of…Tadashi. I flip through it. All of his medical records are on there, his personal information, this is a file about my brother, my deceased brother. What does this have to do with a puppy?
I look at the Dalmatian as they sleep and Fred starts to undo the locks. I want to tell him to stop but maybe this dog has been trained to find Tadashi. I take another look at the dog but as I turn around my eyes widen. Standing right in front of me in a designer suit is my brother as If he were back from the dead.
"Heh, I didn't think we had guests," Tadashi says as he just seems to go ahead with things as if we weren't his friends and family that he's revealed that he's not dead to. He looks us over and it's as if he can't recognize us, did he hit his head or something? I open my mouth before feeling myself want to cry and run over and hug him and tell him how much I've missed him.
"You, what are you doing down here?" he asks us and I feel something is strange about him. Amnesia? Does he have amnesia?
"Dude, I'm sorry," Wasabi says as he comes over to Tadashi, "We should be the ones asking you that question. You pretend to be dead and then you just show up and expect for us to roll with the punches."
"Oh," Tadashi says as he turns to each of us, "I know you?" he asks before looking at me and I realize that he doesn't recognize me. I take off my helmet and stare at him. "You don't look familiar to me."
I freeze but as he's about to touch me, the Dalmatian barks at him loudly. Tadashi turns to him and I see a darkness in his eyes that wasn't there before. What has happened to my big brother? He doesn't even look affected by the fire but then again neither did Callaghan.
I hear something behind me, they're doing something but I'm in too much shock to calm down.
"You shouldn't even be in here anyway," Tadashi says with a cold laugh, he sounds cruel and that was one thing that Tadashi never was. The man pulls out a gun and hands it to me and I hear everyone gasp apart from Fred who seems more interested in something else. "Leave now. Repeat what you saw to nobody and I won't murder you."
"I don't think that you could," I tell him as I narrow my eyes.
"To me," Tadashi laughs before saying words I don't think that I will ever be able to forget. "To me, you are nothing, less than insignificant."
…..
…..
This false Tadashi, or my master as he tries to tell me I am is holding a gun on my little brother. Even if I am a puppy, I'm not going to let Hiro die. I rush forwards as I see the false man line up the gun and Hiro tries to protect himself with his armor. What has he been doing to dress like that anyway?
I feel Fred attempt to grab me but I wriggle out of his hold and run towards the man. I hear the slight touch of his hand over the trigger and bolt forwards. Even if I die it'll be okay. I'm meant to be dead anyway. I bite the man's wrist and he shoots upwards before turning to me.
"Damn dog," he says as he pushes me off but I feel Honey Lemon grab me.
"Hiro!" she tells him, "We have to go!"
Hiro nods in a daze and I see them start to escape, I close my eyes expecting to be put back into the cage. At least they're safe even if I have to face the punishment. I try to breathe expecting my life to be over as soon as he turns that gun on me instead.
….
….
Open air. I can feel air. Did I finally make it to the afterlife? I feel someone's hand on me and behind my ear and push my paws against…yes, my paws. Either the afterlife is a trap or I'm not dead. I look up and see Fred gazing down at me. I guess he has a way with animals. I bark and turn to Hiro.
"Don't worry," Honey says to me and I look to her confused, "Hiro is safe. We're all safe."
"Maybe the dog just needs to do its business," Gogo shrugs and I look from side to side. Where am I? This is a fancy house, I'm not used to being here. Am I out of their cages? "I still think that you guys are crazy. Maybe it's like this dog that was trained to be an attack dog and hates guns."
I shake my head and try to see where Hiro is. He has to be alive. I couldn't forgive myself if he wasn't alive.
"Hey, little buddy, did you just shake your head?" Fred asks with excitement and I stare at him, trying to listen to Hiro's voice. I want to make sure my bro is okay. I've always wanted to make sure that he's okay. I wriggle out of Fred's hold but he looks down at me. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asks and I nod causing them to stare at me.
"Something really weird is happening here," Gogo says and I finally spot Hiro sitting against a fence getting his butt wet. He needs for someone to try to tell him that that man who spoke to him wasn't me. I would never talk to Hiro like that and I definitely would never pull a gun on him even if I had gained amnesia.
I make my way over to him and sit in front of him, cocking my head to the side as I stare at him.
"Why did you save me?" he asks and I whine a little, bowing my head. "I mean, thank you but you're just a dog. Why did you do that when you could have gotten hurt?" I look down. I can't speak to them anymore despite understanding every word they're saying. "That guy was my brother," he tells me and I look at him sadly before shaking my head. Hiro stares at me nervously.
"He was my brother," he repeats and I shake my head looking at him and probably showing the pain I'm feeling in my heart. Hiro looks at me confused. "You're saying that you don't think that guy was my brother?" he asks and I nod causing him to lean forward and place a hand on my head. He gets closer to me so that we can look eye to eye. "Is that why you saved me?" he asks and I nod again hoping that he's smart enough to understand what I'm trying to say.
He pales and scratches me behind the ear. "How do you know all of this? How are you able to communicate with me?" he asks again and I look at him in the same way that I always did when I wanted him to wise up and come to the conclusion by himself. He scoops me up, staring at me and taking short breaths. "Tadashi?" he asks and I nod before he brings me to his chest in a tight embrace. I feel him sob but I feel comforted by his hold. Does he know who I am?
…
…
It doesn't make any sense. It's illogical. There's no scientific reason for my brother to be inhabiting the body of a puppy. This isn't science or logic, it's fantasy and magic but it makes sense in its own weird way. I pull the puppy away from me. He has Tadashi's eyes, Tadashi's expression. I'm losing my mind.
"I'm seri-serious here," I tell the dog and stand up whilst holding him. I look over to Wasabi who is staring at the papers we took, the files about my brother. I hold the puppy to me. I am not letting this dog down.
"Hiro!" he calls out to me, "You really want to see this," he gestures for me to come over and I see the papers with Tadashi's picture on it. The dog wriggles and I just pull him into a closer embrace. "This is really weird and it makes no sense at all but these papers are suggesting a medical experiment but something more than medical, more than human anyway," he tells me and I look at the strange symbols on the paper. It's not Russian or Korean but it does seem to be a language.
I see that on the final page there is a picture of this puppy and a picture of my brother side by side with the words above it. 'Experiment Complete. Body Available for Use'.
My jaw drops and I can't believe it but it all seems to fit. The man who was using my brother's body as a costume wasn't my brother, my brother is this black and white puppy in my arms. I feel myself shake before walking over to a quiet area in Fred's yard and place the dog down in front of me. "Come on," I whisper trying to come to terms with this. "Fist bump," I tell him as I show the dog my fist and he sits down, putting his tiny paw of my hand. He looks at me intently before we pull back like we used to do.
"Hey, big brother," I whisper though I know the sadness is still in my voice. "I am never letting you get hurt again."
