The Texting Games

Disclaimer: I do not own Big Hero Six and I'm not intentionally using a movie plot, title, or anything of the sort. This is for the enjoyment of BH6 fans everywhere and on Tumblr. I also do not own Meet the Robinsons or Bolt. I add these characters for comic relief.
Setting: A dangerous game that includes the whole campus ends up with students killed, a mystery beginning, and a epic conclusion. This is a universe in which Tadashi lives.
Chapter
Tadashi had a very tiresome night as he was trying to make a prototype called Walle. It would gather trash so that way they would have more room for it. The world would never stop using trash all at once, so he would make something to at least slow down the process. He sighed deeply as he ran his hand through his hair, he was stuck. The robot would turn on then intelligently steal his stuff to hoard it. This was really not working.
Hiro walked in and plopped down next to his brother, "Hi Tadashi," he started fiddling with Walle, "He's still not working?" He felt his older brother ruffle his hair with affection.
"Not really, I wish he would work. Then we could fix some of the dump problems," Tadashi sat down by Fred, shoving his friend over playfully. Fred squawked as he fell over, then he jumped back up on the couch dropping a comic on Tadashi's head.
"Read it, Dashi, read it and you will see our future! A madman with a phone will text us..." Fred blinked when he felt an invisible tapping on his head, as if a reminder not to do spoilers. He narrowed his eyes but remained quiet, Tadashi looked at his best friend with curiosity. Fred was very strange sometimes.
Gogo came charging into the room, chasing after a little dog, "Quick, help me catch Bolt! He got away from Penny and the professors are looking for him!" Fred dove on the dog and Bolt licked his face happily.
Fred sputtered, "I know you love me, Bolt, but now's not the time for kisses!" He picked up the dog and asked, "Where should I hide him?"
Gogo took the dog and went into Tadashi's lab, hiding the dog under the table, "Stay, Bolt." She walked out and winked at Penny. The fifteen year old had been accepted into SFIT the same way Hiro had, only she came a year after he was accepted. The young actress's family had decided to move to the city again so young Penny could continue her education.
Penny nodded once then found a seat by Hiro, trying her best to look innocent as the professor came in. The lady looked around then approached Penny, "Have you seen your dog?"
"Nope. I'm sure we'll find him, don't worry about it," Penny smiled, she could truthfully say this as she really didn't know where the dog was. Gogo knew, but the teacher didn't need to know that.
Wasabi was the only problem, if he figured out that the dog was in the school there would be hell to pay. Society has rules and all that good stuff. The Professor eyed them suspiciously then left the room as Lewis Robinson walked in. The boy looked at his friends and asked, "What did I miss?"
"An epic battle between professor and pooch," Honey Lemon said as she rolled another huge ball thing passed them, "It was amazing, I'm sorry you missed it."
Lewis shook his head at Penny, "I know you love your dog and all..."
"Hey, he was on a leash this time," Penny argued back as she searched for her puppy, "Gogo, where did you put Bolt?"
"He is in Tadashi's lab. Hopefully crapping all over the place," Gogo said offhandedly, schooling her expression so when Tadashi looked at her she didn't have any facial expression.
Tadashi rolled his eyes expressively, not replying to the comment. He watched as Walle came to life for Hiro and started looking over things on the ground that Hiro had placed. The boy was testing the robot to see what he would do.
Walle picked up a sock and put it in his trash container, he picked up the rose and petted it, then he found two or three more things to keep.
"I don't know what to say, Tadashi. He has a mind of his own," Hiro smiled as he watched the little robot explore the lab, "I kinda like him."
Tadashi smiled a little, "Well, if you like him that way we can just leave him like that. He seems happy enough." He crossed one leg over his knee, resting his hand on his knee as he watched his weird Nerd Crew.
The group was very happy with their lots in life, every one of them having a different story.
Gogo had joined a biker gang when she was fifteen years old, being a genius she often got bored with school. SFIT basically saved her life.
Honey Lemon came from a hug family who loved and supported her in her choice to go to the Science school. Her father was very enthusiastic about his daughter becoming a scientist.
Wasabi's mother was very OCD and he had learned it from her. He had also been in prison once for breaking the speed limit which is what caused the obsessive desire to obey traffic laws in the car chase.
Fred was a rich kid who was bored with life. He became the school mascot and resident fan-boy.
Lewis Robinson was adopted when he was around twelve years old. He believed that the world could become a better place but he always carried around a handmade taser in case someone attacked him.
Penny was a rising star in Hollywood until her dog was lost. When she couldn't find him then almost died in a fire her family moved to the country while she healed. When she had been fully healed they moved into the city so that way Penny could go to the college. The girl had made most of the tech props for the Bolt TV series.
Tadashi knew his own story. Parents died when he was around 11 years old and Hiro was around 4 years old. They went and lived with their aunt Cas. Tadashi almost died in a fire leaving burns on most of his body and Hiro had emotional scars because of it.
Soon all their lives would change with a simple text message. The first text message sent to the entire college was labeled, "Ready to play?" And the content said:
Hello SFIT, you have been chosen for a select opportunity to play the most dangerous game in the history of the world. I will choose a challenge for you and if you pass you get a new one. If you fail or refuse to participate a price will be paid, a price you won't like.
I would ask if you are ready, but you have no choice.
