A/N: I do not own Big Hero 6. All rights reserved to Disney and Marvel. Special thanks to Tritone for beta-ing this and an overdue thank you to SadieYuki and daisygirl101 for beta-ing Foundations, the sort-of prequel to this fic.

Also note that because Big Hero 6 takes place in the future I myself have taken a few liberties with the state of that future so if your reading this in the 2050-60s then I apologize for my lack of accuracy a few decades in advance.

Prologue

"If revenge motivates you, go for it! But the main thing is to set your game in order." – Viswanathan Adnan

It was dark, but not so much that it was impossible to see, just dark enough for the sunlight to feel excruciatingly painful whenever one ventured to the surface. The project beneath the site of the island-prison tourist attraction had been maintained without any disturbances thanks to the resources they had acquired over the years. Everything was finally coming together.

"Supreme Leader, we have every unidentified hospital patient within the coast branded as you asked." A man in a black suit with glasses turned to his officer, the glasses accenting his unmoving expression.

"Good, good!" he said, "That one burn victim, is he going to wake up soon?"

The officer nodded. "Very soon. Technicians say the zolpidem spray should be activated within twenty-four hours. Then we can move forward with Operation Phoenix."

The man in the suit grinned, clasping his hands together. "Excellent sir! Excellent!" He then looked to the large computer screen playing various pieces of footage from the war that took everything from him as well as some video clips of suited vigilantes. "Hopefully I can actually get those damn Yankee superheroes to avoid destroying my hard work!"

His officer moved closer, but made sure he remained a step below his beloved leader. After all, no man can have the nerve to put himself at the same level as a god.

"We have gathered whatever information we possibly could about this group," the officer said. "They have been trying to find any possible Helios agents to question on the surface. Can we trust our people above to keep quiet?"

The leader turned to his officer, and chuckled lightly. "They know they don't have a choice," he said, "but anyway, what do you know about these superheroes?"

Looking at the super-computer, the officer asked, "may I?" His leader nodded, giving him permission to pull up the file on the six vigilantes of San Fransokyo, California.

"According to our field agents," the officer said, "they are called Big Hero 6. They appeared about two or three years ago and were able to save the city during what is called 'The Krei Tech Disaster' and have since been fighting crime. Little is known about their real identities but this is the most we could come up with based on observation of the news and images taken of the team." He then pulled six individuals files. At least four of the group members appeared to be in their early adult years, one had the facial bearings of a teenager, but the member in the red suit with wings was the most curious of all.

"What is exactly is that supposed to be?" the leader asked, pointing to the large, red hero. His officer zoomed in on the file.

"This is actually a robot," the officer explained. "We found footage from the news and spliced the audio so we did have one breakthrough." He pulled up the video file. It showed the robot offering an arm to an injured bystander while giving the programmed response, 'hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion.'

When the video stopped the leader crooked a brow. "Nursebot?" he asked. "That's... Odd…. Keep going with the others." Without wasting a breath the officer pulled the file with an image of the shorter hero in the purple suit.

"He seems to be the leader of the team" he said, "and possibly the robot's creator. One of our people at tech believe that based on facial image scans, he is likely between the ages of fourteen and eighteen, and possesses distinct Japanese and some Caucasian features. Here is some footage with his voice." With another video the boy-leader was shouting commands into a communicator that was likely located in the helmet. He not only rode the back of the robot at times, but seemed to command an army of small robots using telepathy.

"What are those purple small robots?" the Supreme Leader asked. His officer once again offered an explanation.

"They're called micro-bots," he said. "They were originally invented by a young university student, but then stolen by a vigilante, Yokai or Dr. Robert Callaghan, who tried using them during the Krei Disaster. This development was actually very recent. Up until a few months ago, the boy just served as the commander, and had an electro-shock based shield with his suit. Until he can be identified, we've been referring to him as simply, 'Captain Electro' or just 'The Captain' or 'The General'" The leader nodded, motioning for his assistant to carry on, which he did upon revealing the feminine team member donned in pink with a purse that seemed to have a heart-shaped periodic table on the side.

"She has her powers in her purse," the officer said. "With it, she creates different chemical combinations that are produced in balls, which she then uses as her weapons. From the facial scan we can conclude that she is likely between eighteen and twenty-two years of age, and of a background from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, or any country in the part of the world known as Central America." As the footage of her in action played, he explained, "She is also unidentifiable but is aptly dubbed by the public as 'The Chemist'."

He then showed a kaiju suit that revealed no face, but in the footage, could jump incredibly far distances and breather fire where the mouth was located.

"For a while we had nothing on this guy," the officer continued, "but after splicing this piece of audio we did get something." He then pulled up another clip showing the kaiju-man jump from building tops surrounding the destruction shouting, 'ha ha! Have no fear! Fredzilla is here!'

The leader's observant eyes melted into stoicism with the rest of his face as he faced his assistant. "Even if you got the name Fred from that, you should know by now that it's an incredibly common name in America!" Feeling his heart skip a beat, the officer chose to move on to the next hero who donned a light green suit that produced laser blades at the hands which seemed to cut through nearly anything in its path, including metals.

"African-American and also between eighteen and twenty-two years old. Other than that the public knows him best as the "Laser Warrior"."

The leader felt it wasn't worth his time to sit through any more of these if only the robot had a comprehensive name. His assistant noticed this, and quickly opened a separate file for the last member.

"My dear leader," the officer said, "it is with this hero we may have made a true breakthrough." Showing the hero in yellow with wheels shouting 'woman up!' as a battle cry. The leader felt a sort of memory trigger go off like a gun. He remembered the son of the man once trusted by his father who marched with the traitors, and the one thing he ever heard him say after his betrayal, 'man up!' as they stormed the palace just as he and his mother were escaping. Seeing his expression the officer continued.

"The hero known as "Speed Racer" didn't have much to go off aside from her approximate age, gender, and ethnicity; between eighteen and twenty-two, female, Korean. That was until we noticed this." He then pulled out the image of the man who took everything from the Supreme Leader that he held dear. Go Ji-Hoon had taken his father with him to the death during the final battle, as well as his future and honor. With an image of 'Speed Racer' next to the man's picture, the assistant showed the facial scans. After a few moments the scan was complete with the word "MATCH" in big green letters. The Supreme Leader stood from his seat, eyebrows sinking, fists tightening, and the corners of his lips preparing to form a grin.

"So the rumors were true after all," he said. "Go Tae-Hee is alive, and in America." His assistant concluded. The leader did not face his officer, and continued to stare at the image as his smile grew.

"Not only that…" the leader continued "But, she is part of this 'Big Hero 6' as well. I thought I'd never have the chance for true vengeance, but it seems it is only getting better." He faced his officer and told him to gather everyone for a mandatory meeting.

"My dear people! My Helios agents! I have gathered you all here with great news." Everyone was sitting on their knees as the Leader stood on the platform above them.

"After careful research and observation, I have finally found the key to restore my divine honor to the true throne of the Democratic People's Republic of the World, and how we will weaken our latest threat known as Big Hero 6!" Waiting silently for their leader to explain, the crowd of agents stood still as the screen unveiled the young woman known as 'Speed Racer' otherwise known as the deadliest weapon of Big Hero 6.

"As many of you already know," the leader, said, "if I'm to reclaim my family's worth, it is my duty to track down the sole survivor and descendant of the Go family, and kill her! Once trusted friends and advisors of my father and his own father, who turned their backs on our great nation and took everything I had and what the world could've had! The search for the rumored daughter of Go Ji-Hoon has ended... You are all looking at Go Tae-Hee as we speak!"

The room burst into outraged screams:

"Destroy her and Big Hero 6, beloved Leader!"

"May you smite her with your awesome power!"

"Kill the traitorous curse!"

"We will make her suffer for you!"

"SILENCE!" Like a room full of well-trained service dogs, everyone went quiet, quickly dropping their hysteria. The leader stood tall and looked forward as if there were more people in the crowd beyond the confined, underground headquarters.

"What will now happen is this: I will recruit my best field agents to get the attention of Big Hero 6. We will be moving on to the next phase: striking fear. Use these attacks to get the attention of Big Hero 6, and then find out everything you all can about them. But! Whatever you do, don't forget to focus on 'Speed Racer'. Chances are her mother might have survived as well, so if there is information about that, get to her surviving family first. Don't kill them but show that we will not back down from anything worse!" That sentence earned a round of rousing cheers.

"After that," the leader continued, "focus on bringing me the other members of Big Hero 6; I will have my own, special plans for them." After letting out a chuckle, he continued, "this is where we finally have Operation Phoenix come in!" He let that round of screams and cries go on until the crowd settled down on their own. To them, Operation Phoenix was something only in theory, in words. Now they could live to see how they were part of something incredible.

"At last Operation Phoenix will help me take hold of the West Coast, then we will move north, east, south and overseas! My beloved people I, Kim Song-Un, great-great grandson of the Most Supreme Leader Kim Il-Sung, and your Eternal President! The new age of I, the Great Sun of Life, is coming!" In a wave, everyone in the room bowed to him chanting over and over again, as if their last breaths depended on it.

"Hail the Great Leader! Hail the Great Leader! Hail the Great Leader!"

Kim Sung-un then pointed a fist to the sky, ready to list his promises to his followers. "This woman you see will pay for her family's crimes against my divine nobility!" Sitting up from their bows the crowd raised fists and shouted:

"Hail the Great Sun!"

"Be it in the light of day or the dark of the night terror will destroy her city!"

"Hail the Great Sun!"

"She will see her nightmares come alive and feel them haunt her with her deserved damnation!"

"Hail the Great Sun!" he said before he motioned his arms up, then in a downward slice, as if he were conducting the orchestra of his minions.

"You all know what you are responsible for!" he shouted. "Awaken the soldiers we have gathered! Bring me the test subject for Operation Phoenix! Show the Yankee bastards they aren't safe anymore! Destroy Big Hero 6! As for Go Tae-Hee!" He turned to her image and spat at it for good measure before declaring, with a grin wide envy to bring envy to the Cheshire cat, "she will be mine to damn!"
