Hi guys! This is Tadashi-the-demigod here, and this is my first fanfiction ever! I am open to all comments and flames are also welcome and will be used to defeat Geia! (pjo reference for those of you that don't know) but anyway, the Idea for this fanfiction came from AmalgamationofFaces Rise of the Phoenix- go read that, it's one of the best fics I have ever read! Anyway, updates will be sporadic, But I will try to give you guys 1-2 K chapters once a week. Heads up for swear sensitive people! There will be no cussing in this fanfiction! Unless you count the word heck. Other than that..

You done reading Rise Of the Phoenix? Good. now on with my story, Rise from the ashes!

Disclaimer- I do not own big hero 6, or the idea for tadashi to be a phoenix, or the idea for the ages presented in this story for Tadashi and hiro. But the rest of the plot arc is mine!

*Tadashi POV*

Cold. Cold dark and very very dry. 5 year old Tadashi Hamada awoke and stared up at the cement ceiling. He knew he had only a few minutes at most until He came. Tadashi would have to move his aching body of of the little cot he called his bed, and get to work. Or else He would harm his family. Or at least that was his excuse. Tadashi didn't know if he could really get to them. Now, you may be wondering how the Late Tadashi Hamada, dead, was now 5 years old and locked in a cement room. He only knew what he had been told, but it was the only information he had.

On his the day he had turned 5, or what he was told was the day he turned 5, Tadashi didn't know for sure. Anyway, He had sat Tadashi down, and told him a story

*flashback*

Tadashi was nervous. He had told him that it was a special day. A day of answers. As Tadashi arrived in a new room, lead there by two Guards, and when he walked in, saw Him.

"Tadashi" He said

"Who are you?" Tadashi replied, stuttering. Tadashi knew his face. But he had no name to Tadashi. Tadashi flinched at the sight of him. Tadashi knew that he was the one who was responsible for him being in this place for as long as he could remember. This man specifically never hurt him, but he wasn't fed much, and punishment for misbehaving wasn't fun either. Tadashi may have only been five, but he was incredibly smart, and knew an authority figure when he saw one. And Tadashi knew this man was in charge. The man must have seen him flinch, as he said

"Tadashi, Tadashi. As long as you cooperate, you have no need to be afraid. I have brought you here to tell you your story, and to wish you a happy birthday" the man sounded cheerful, but the threat and promise in his words was very audible to Tadashi.

"But I am also here to give you a- how should I put this? Incentive to work"

Tadashi tensed. The man ignored Tadashi's obvious fear and continued

"5 years ago, a …. Colleague of mine, Robert callahan faked his own death. As you most likely know, he was one and still is one of the most brilliant men in the world. During a showcase exhibition, he saw an invention that could help him get revenge for the "death" of his daughter. He set the fire, and stole the invention, the world presuming him dead. You, a student at that school, ran in after him, very stupidly. The building exploded. You died. You should have anyway. After everyone left the ashes, Callahan returned to see you in the ashes, an infant. Releasing, somehow, that it was you, he grabbed you from the ashes and fled. You were hidden and raised here, on this very island. The world presumed you dead as well. You had a brother. Him, as well as some of your friends, formed a team of heros, and attempted to catch the man who they thought essentially murdered you, having no idea it was callahan. After a very interesting stream of events, callahan ended up getting his daughter back. In his rage, he attacked and very nearly killed me. After this, when he was in jail, Callahan told me of his existence. He turned you over to me in exchange for me to continue of his real goal, as he is now imprisoned. His goal? To find a way to fix this broken, broken world. You obviously dont remember this, but you do have a family out there. A family that, if you do not cooperate, will be harmed."

Tadashi felt his blood turn to ice

"Why do you need me? Even if I did have any old skills from before-" Tadashi began hesitantly

"Which you do. We have been testing you, your old skills remain intact, even if your memories are not." he said " but that is besides the point. We want you to see how you are still alive. People do not just run into an exploding building, and not only survive unscathed, but are seemingly reborn. We have confirmed through tests you are indeed Tadashi Hamada. Not we need to see if any other… powers have developed. We believe they have. For instance, you have a much higher body temperature then what is normal, yet you are in perfect health. You also have hollow bones, just like a bird. Surviving a fire, being reborn from the ashes, high body temperature, hollow bones. Tadashi Hamada, the phoenix. Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?" (AN: was going to cut it off here for chapter one, then realized it was way too short)

"A phoenix?" Tadashi managed to stutter out

"Yes Tadashi. Oh, and since you'll be working for us now, I guess I should answer your first question. You can call me Masodo. Masodo Krei"

*Flashback ending*

Tadashi heaved himself up off of his cot, and felt his way through the dark. The lights would be on soon, but he knew that he still had a few minutes to work on his secret.

Masodo Krei had been right. Tadashi didn't know about phoenix, but he definitely had other powers. Powers he was working very hard on keeping a secret. He focused on his hand warming up, and then when he reached a high enough temperature, dragged his cot over to the wall, where a small heavily grated air shaft was. Ever since he had discovered the vent months ago, he had been working on this. He could find the spot in complete darkness easily.

Either way, this was no new thing. If Tadashi's idea was correct, if he heated the actual grate of the shaft gradually but fairly constantly, over a long period of time, that he could weaken the grate enough that he could remove it. And possibly escape. He had to heat it up gradually to weaken it, instead of simply melting it on the spot. One, because actual fire took a fair bit of energy, and two, because the shaft was so small he would end up inadvertently touching the sides, and even through Masudo's "fun" testing, it had been determined that Tadashi was heat and fire proof. He had no idea, however, if melted metal would hurt him. But eventually the grate would give. And then he could go home. Home… back to Hiro. Hiro. Tadashi had remembered every thing weeks ago, but still pretended that he had no idea about. No sense giving Masuda any more leverage against him.

Tadashi had been so agitated that he didn't even realise his wings had come out. Oh yes, Tadashi had wings. Big giant flaming wings. And yes, he could fly.

Just as he was going to will his wings-his source of light- out, and remove his hand from the grate, and get ready for the long arduous day, (Masodo didn't know about the wings) Tadashi felt the metal under his hand give out. The grate fell to the ground with a clatter.

Tadashi's heart froze. He had planned for this, obviously, this was what had been allowing him to keep his sanity for the last- how long was it? 6 months at least. Tadashi had no idea of what day it was. Masudo did not think the date was important for him to be concerned about. But anyway, now that freedom was in his grasp, he was terrified. He shuddered to even think about what his punishment would be if he was caught.

For a split second he hesitated. Then he extinguished his wings with a thought and started crawling out the vent, hoping it lead to a way outside. No matter what happened if he was caught, he had to get out. He had to get back to his family. This was going to be an interesting day. How on earth was he going to explain this to Hiro?

Well, I hope you guys liked that! Next chap will be still Tadashi POV, most of this story will be, but we will meet Hiro, and the rest of the gang! See you next week!

Review! *Mochi eyes* Please?
