I don't own Big Hero 6, Wreck-It Ralph, Sonic, Mario or other game that may come up on my way from here to the end of this story. I do own mostly OCs through, but Candi is owned by TCKing12.
Sorry if anyone sounds too OOC, I'm still new to this Big Hero 6 thing...
Welcome to my new crossover!
"And now we're up with a super show: Super Heroes Kids!" Said the little girl on TV, cheerfully.
She had dark brown hair stuck in bunches and vivid green eyes. Her name was Jessica to where Hiro Hamada could remember and once again the teenager found himself wondering mentally why he watched the program.
Not that he did so often. As far as he knew, the channel itself aired just over a week ago. Radio Kids was the name, despite being on TV, in addition to the radio programs.
Nevertheless, Radio Kids did justice to the name as he didn't remember having seen an adult there. That was the presenter along with another girl whom he didn't remember the name, Penelope and Sabrina. All they looked like having no less than nine or more than ten.
His first encounter with the channel was completely accidental, there was a super-heroes cartoon overnight, both heroes and villains were just children between seven and twelve years old, but the show didn't seemed so childish, it was the typical heroes show, with special powers and advanced technology, epic battles and aliens.
Then he began to overlook a few more programs in the channel. There were competitions, some even ridiculous, some just for fun, but there were fights and a lot of other things. It also had music programs (music parodies mostly), secrets and playthroughs of games (arcade games mostly, but sometimes there were news and tips for console games too), also racing and sports, art shows and cooking and even bot fights!
It had everything there, except adults, at least not on camera, though it seemed more than simple acting, all programs had a cartoonized style and were turned to games, music and superheroes. There looked like having just a few kids working, during the shows, who changed appearances slight to look new, except during Super Heroes' Kids
That was the first time Hiro actually sat to watch the channel on purpose. He'd already realized the best programs and news aired during the night, during the day had reruns and some children cartoons coming from other channels.
The boy found himself looking more closely at the characters that night. Midnight Blaze, in her fox armor, smart and almost never depended on her superpowers, preferring the technology created by her brother, always in her floating-skates, running like the wind by the scenarios... Then there were Cherry Ruby, Candle Cake, Midnight's brother, Silver Lightning and a boy he didn't remember the name.
Silver was the kind of hero more like Hiro and his friends, even his super-powers were generated by technology, the boy even wore a suit more armor-like, except of keeping with its role of super-hero.
And yes, those names were always unusual like that, sounding strange even to super-heroes.
"I can't believe Midna has done something like this!" Said Cherry upset. What the girl did Hiro had no idea; it seemed to be continuing from something, probably last day's episode. "She was always so good and smart..."
"Maybe she has a good reason." Candle said, always optimistic.
"That's what we'll find out." The unknown boy murmured.
"If anyone knows what's going on is T.H." Silver said quietly. "He's the closest friend my sister has, she always tells him everything."
The quartet entered a small electronics store down the street, where they were greeted by a robot attendant, humanoid form, it greatly resembled Hiro himself.
"Hello, guys!" The robot welcomed. "Came to buy something?"
"In fact, H1R0, we came to talk to T.H." Cherry said.
"Has seen my sister ultimately?" Silver asked.
"H1R0!" Hiro exclaimed, surprised. Why the robot looked like him and had a version of his name?! And T.H…
The robot Hiro on TV led the group to a place in the underground of the store, where another little older boy was working on a mechanical design.
"T.H we have visitors!" He announced cheerfully. "It's not often people come here for more than shopping and repairs." He said to the group.
"Well, we promise to come here just to visit one of these days." Candle smiled. "But today we are also in a hurry."
"Well, well, if it is not the young Candle!" T. H. He turned and Hiro almost had a fit. The boy was a younger vision of his brother, Tadashi! "Jubi, G.O and Cloud, good to see you! Come looking for Black V., right? Unfortunately she just came by earlier, it seems she and Blue were in some kind of secret mission. It has something to do with the news on TV?"
Hiro jumped up and turned the TV off. Cartoon or not, he wouldn't stand to be seeing his brother and a robot copy of himself TV. What was that after all?!
What else did he know about Radio Kids? Unfortunately nothing, but all that relate to games reminded him of Wreck-It Ralph, one of Mickey Mouse studios' animated films.
Where did the TV and radio signal come from? It was all a mystery that he intended to unravel.
-KK- -KK-
Hiro told his friends everything about the show just next day, everyone, but he had just Fred by his side, everyone else tried to talk him out of what they would call obsession or even paranoia. Still he had a chance to investigate.
It wasn't that often he and his friends would choose a place like that as a hangout. It was Honey Lemon's idea; she said it was a good place to play games. Not exactly her favorite pastime - she hadn't come there for a few weeks now - but she really liked games, through they would say not as much as Fred, who had his own games home.
Litwak's Family Fun Center... Tadashi usually took Hiro there when they were younger. The young genius would also remember the place from Wreck-It Ralph. It was strange an animation movie be based around a real place and real games, but still it was just a movie. Why was him even taking his time about that? It was all because of Radio Kids?
He saw a friend he'd meet at school. What was her name again? Something candy related... Candi, that was it! The girl had dark brown hair, tan colored skin and emerald green eyes.
They weren't that close, in fact, but recently the girl seemed to be very interested in him and his projects. The boy thought she needed something but she never asked.
The boy decided to approach, but stopped as he heard the girl talking to her watch.
"Oh, finally you did reply!" Candi exclaimed, happily but low.
"Yeah, T.H just got our connection back. How are things going?" A female voice asked from the watch.
T.H? Again? Hiro hid himself and made a signal to his friends not to approach as well.
"I located him, will you come to help?"
"If they get out, I'll try to follow. But try to stop them the best as you can. Is the Chaos Ring still working?"
"I don't know. I've never used it. I call you if it's not."
She turned the communicator off and entered the building. The group decided to follow; it was where they were going to, after all.
"There is something strange around here." Honey Lemon said, thoughtfully looking around when they entered. She couldn't put a finger on it, but something on that games looked out of place.
They walked separate ways looking for their favorite games, or just something that called attention. She hadn't to go far or even to pay to find out what exactly disturbed her. As she passed by Sonic Extreme Speed, she noticed two things: First, the black and blue hedgehog girl she'd never seen before, that maybe could be a new character, as she'd never seen that particular Sonic game before, and second she saw Sonic and Knuckles a little ahead, both not looking as old as they should and it was easier to notice by their height that didn't look right in comparison to Tails as the little fox reached them on the drifting race.
Walking a little more, Honey could see another game she'd never seen before and also looked strange: Super Mario Stars, just as the current player reached a brief cutscene in which Mario meet a little human boy she'd never seen before. The hero himself was also a kid Mario, but not the baby from one of the home console versions, just looking around ten years old or another age from one year younger to two years older.
She'd seen briefly a few shows in Radio Kids and quickly related the two, so decided the best game to begin if she wanted to know anything would be Sugar Rush. Besides, it was one of her favorite games. But maybe Sugar Rush would be normal, as they'd always been kids.
In fact it was pretty normal, a few new characters and a few different looks, but nothing that couldn't be taken by an update. But she couldn't been mistaken, she'd seen a brief blue light on the kart's panel, even with the racer blocking her vision of its source and heard a low buzzing sound.
Not long after it, Go Go was playing the Sonic game Honey Lemon had passed by with the same hedgehog girl - in fact named Vortex - when she noticed a strange movement as Vortex raised an arm near to her face and there was this blue light, like an hologram or something, the quick and low buzzing sound and, for a moment, it was like she'd lost control of the character, but quickly everything went back to normal.
Just, she noticed the anthro girl had a silver watch on her left wrist.
And no longer after, Hiro was on his second round in Hero's Duty. The game was all wrong. First of all, the characters were kids! Little soldiers, no more than twelve years old, even younger than him, guns looking smaller to match, but everything else seemed in place. Except for the second thing he'd noticed, the brief cutscene of Calhoun's backstory they'd get near the final level was cut off of this version. Made sense, but still looked strange.
And why was him even there, playing, if he should be looking for answers? But something attracted him to play that game... Was it because the game was connected to that movie, which could be somehow connected to the mysterious channel which was the center of all that mystery?
The younger characters didn't match a game like Hero's Duty, with its post-apocalyptical looking background, mechanic, mutant, insectoid enemies and war-designed armors and heavy weapons, but it matched Radio Kids. Sergeant Calhoun just looked like the police head on the super-heroes show, maybe the other soldiers being the rest of her squad.
No. It was all madness, the coincidence was getting up to him, just that. Maybe he should enjoy a few more games and go home, admit he'd been mistaken...
But so it happened, like to tell him he wasn't mistaken, to tell him not to give up, but it almost did otherwise.
It was rare you getting a good look of the other soldiers in Hero's Duty, but always the same they were fighting the Cy-Bugs, a few of them killed by them... But that one didn't, he just ran away and quickly disappeared from view. But was the sergeant's angry call that made Hiro sees he was right, something strange was up...
"Hamada!"
-KK- -KK-
"Baymax!" Tadashi Hamada heard the call through his communicator. Just one character in the entire arcade used that nickname as she said he was muttering something about that in his sleep when she found him and a call during game hours...
He knew he would be in deep trouble if they found out, but he couldn't risk anyone hearing. It was why he was there as his friend said, for causing trouble, a kind of punishment. BLACK V. promised him she would call just for something of high importance, so the boy put the call in waiting mode and ran to a safer place.
"BLACK V. what's wrong?"
"Look up at what we got!" The girl on the communicator beamed.
A screen showed up in front of him, focused on a shocked boy, with messy black hair and light brown eyes, which muttered an "impossible" to himself before walking away.
The camera went off and Tadashi heard the game had ended; Calhoun would be after him in no time if given her the chance. But he couldn't worry with it. His friend discovery was really important, something that could cause a change in all their systems.
"Hiro..." He muttered. "BLACK V., meet me at the lab after closing time." The boy said on the communicator before turning it off.
It had to have a reason, and together they could find it out, he just knew it!
-KK- -KK-
Hiro couldn't believe what he'd heard. Once it was a coincidence, twice it turned out highly questionable, but a third?
T.H looked exactly like Tadashi and had the same initials, his bot looked a lot like Hiro and had a similar name, now that... He would call it a glitch, in Hero's Duty, with the name Hamada... Whoever was behind Radio Kids and that hacked Arcade owned him answers. But, for now, he just wanted to go home, for some strange reason his head was aching a little and his energy was being mysteriously drained as he tried to think...
"Hiro!" Wasabi's voice broke through his mind a little painfully. "Something wrong?"
"Later." The young boy muttered. "What's up?"
"There were two spider cameras running around the arcade, Fred caught one but the other disappeared into the office."
"You was right, Hiro, something is up around here." Honey Lemon joined them, whispering, her gaze on the two man not far away. "The arcade's owners are looking strange at us since we arrived."
The boys also followed her gaze to the twins and noticed they were really starring back, looking suspicious, but Hiro had nothing to say against them, all he knew was that they were somehow related to Mr. Litwak and in charge of the place since he'd fallen ill. It hadn't been about a month already... sounded suspicious, but there was nothing to prove as well.
"Go get the others; we talk back at the Café." Hiro sighed, turning away from the duo. So there was something suspicious hidden at their office... Maybe the camera had the answers.
For now he would wait and process the little he and the team found out, so he would decide if paying a visit to that office was necessary or worth the trouble.
Anyway, the same feeling that attracted him to that game was giving him the idea he should be home. Unfortunately his plans had to be changed as Candi approached them, looked a little worried.
"Can we talk in private?" She asked.
He knew she knew something by what he'd heard early, so Hiro nodded and followed her outside.
