AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello! I'm Bella and this is a Gorillaz/Big Hero 6 crossover fanfiction, as you can see. I just wanted to mention that I don't own either of them. I just really wanted to write a story involving both since I'm big fans of both. I have never seen a fanfic involving both of them and I wanted to "break the ice", so to speak. I hope you enjoy! This probably won't be the last one if it goes well! BTW, the italics mean the person is thinking!
Big Hero 6 obviously belongs to Disney and Marvel, if you're counting the original comic. Gorillaz is owned by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett.
"Alright, Aunt Cass, I'm off!" Hiro exclaimed as he was running out the door, ready for another day at college. Hiro's just a child prodigy who graduated high school at the age of 13. He's now 16 years old and quite well known around campus for his intelligence, age, and his late older brother, Tadashi. "Wait!" Aunt Cass yelled, with a bag in her hand. "Here's some lunch. Have a nice day." She handed the lunch bag to Hiro. It most likely had some leftover spicy chicken wings in there."Bye, Aunt Cass. Love you," Hiro hugged her goodbye.
"Love you, too, my little college man." And just like that, Hiro was out the door. He put in his earphones to listen to music and took off for another average day.
As she grabbed her large luggage from the claiming area, Noodle started to get visibly nervous. This was the first time she's been on tour with her bandmates in roughly ten years and she worried if people noticed her in public, how they'd react. She had a slight disguise on, like her bandmates, just in case. Large sunglasses and a longish coat with the collar covering her face slightly. She even had a surgical mask on. "Noodle? Are you gonna be okay?" Russel asked in a caring tone. Noodle looked up at the large man. She had known him for the majority of her life. He practically raised her and was like a father to her. "Yeah. I'm just a little nervous. Let's just get to the hotel," She sighed.
"Ugh! Wot the bloody hell do yew have to do to get a bloody cab 'ere?!" Murdoc yelled through his thick, nasally accent. Murdoc was like an uncle to Noodle. A grouchy, drunk uncle who was nice to her but not so nice to the others, especially 2D. He angrily paced around outside, trying to find a cab, muttering to himself. 2D was standing there near him. He was staring off into space, like usual. 2D and Noodle were very close. Like, brother and sister. "Murdoc, calm down. I'll find a cab," Russel said in a mildly annoyed tone. Since Russel was actually from the US, he knew a lot more about how to navigate American cities. Even though he was from Brooklyn, New York, he could still figure out California cities better than the rest. He went off to find a cab large enough to fit all four of the bandmates and all their luggage, leaving Noodle next to 2D in the mid-August breeze.
"Hey, 2D. How ya holdin' up?" Noodle asked in a shy voice. He snapped back to reality, "Oh! Hey Noods! I'm doin' good. Bit nervous but fine overall. Me phone's bout to die, though. 'Ow about yew, luv?" Noodle took a deep breath. "I'm scared, 2D. What if… what if people start chasing us or try to hurt us?" 2D looked down at her, in her eyes. He gave a slight smile, showing his teeth (or lack thereof),"Don' worry, luv. Everyfing's gonna be awright! We're only gonna here be fo' a bit." That made Noodle feel a little better.
A few minutes later, Russel came back with a rent-a-car. "I know I said I was going to get us a cab but I felt that this would be easier for us. We just have to give it back before we leave," he explained. "Finally!" Murdoc exclaimed. He was an impatient pickle. With that, they all shoved their bags in the car and got in, with Noodle and 2D in the back and Murdoc and Russel in the front. They drove off to their hotel.
Sitting at his desk in his lab, Hiro was working on a new project. It was kind of a secret project. It was a device that could allow his lovable healthcare robot, Baymax, to scan people and find out if two or more people were related and how closely. He was just about to attach another wire when one of his close friend, Fred, loudly barged in, comic book and phone in hand. He had some news. "Hiro! I got some news! First, the new Guardians of the Galaxy comic just came out and it's so good! You gotta read it!" He shoved the comic in Hiro's face. The cover that a character with red markings who seemed to be in a very fiery setting. "Second, Gorillaz is already here for their tour! I got all of us tickets and backstage passes!" He then pulls up a picture of the British band to show Hiro. There were four members; three men and one woman. Hiro looked at the young woman and noticed something. She looked… familiar. She kinda looked like the girl in some of his past dreams but a little older.
Hiro had a few dreams in the past where he would see a girl and she would be running from something. He never knew what, but he would try to chase her. But the more he ran, the further away she got. He brushed it off and continued to listen to his friend. "Sweet! I've never heard of this band but I'm willing to go see them," he replied. Fred gave him a look of shock. "You don't know Gorillaz?! They've been around since the late 90s! They're older than you!" Fred was pretty shocked that Hiro, one of his best friends, had never heard of Gorillaz. He began to pull up one of their most well-known songs, Feel Good Inc, and plays it out loud for his little genius friend. The song begins with someone laughing and a bass playing, along with a male singer. So far, Hiro thought it sounded nice. The bass chords and heavier tone of the song really stuck to Hiro's mind. Soon, the tone of the song changed from a heavy, darker tone to a lighter tone with a calming guitar playing in the background. It lasted for a bit before returning to the original tone. There was another male singer now rapping and Hiro was loving it. The song again changed to the lighter tone but this time there was more guitar and it felt… light and airy. Hiro couldn't describe it but he loved it. The song then returned back to the original tone with the rapper and then ended with the same crazy laughing from the beginning.
Hiro liked this song. He liked it a lot. He wanted to continue listening to more of this band's songs but Fred's phone died just as the next one was about to play. "Dammit! Ugh, sorry, Hiro. My phone just croaked on me. I guess I forgot to charge her up. Well, I'll let you continue on whatever you're doing. See ya, dude," Fred said as he walked out of the door to Hiro's lab. Just as Fred walked out, Hiro decided to look up that song, along with the rest of the album. "Demon Days. Interesting." He wanted to listen to more. He couldn't get enough of that song, especially the happy, lighter guitarist parts. He then listened to some of the other songs on the album. He was having a good time and had almost forgotten about his project until he took a look at the time on his computer. "Oh, shit! I need to get back to work. I'll have to remember to listen to more of their songs later." He then went back to working on his project for the rest of the day, the band still in his mind.
