And we are back for some more content!
Pit: You know, this story isn't really getting popular like your other stories.
Give it time... Don't worry, I've had stuff like this before... You just have to wait, it'll catch on!
Dark Pit: Are you sure? This movie came out in like what? 2014? Seems pretty outdated to me...
It's still a thing! Believe me! It is! Kingdom Hearts 3 is bringing this world back!
Dark Pit: Well, that's a lifesaver, I guess... Continue on!
Right... Anyway, I honestly do appreciate you guys viewing this fic. It really saves me from thinking, "Oh, this story isn't good enough." or whatever. I just hope I'm not doing anything wrong when I'm not getting any reviews than usual... Because, that just seems to be the case.
But enough of about that! Let's get into the continuation of our fellow heroes, shall we?
The air felt so fresh... It made your skin warm; It made your mind clear; It makes you release all the stress in the world, and focus on this one feeling. Freedom... What a beautiful world. Combined that with the sounds of the city, it felt a lot better.
Unfortunately, stuff like that can only last for so long...
"Arriving at destination! Please sit tight as I propell downward to safety..."
Our three heroes heads perked up at the notification. They took sight of Fred's mansion in the distance. It was such a breathtaking view tin their eyes, but now is not the time for that. They need rest. That's what they were here for.
"Alright, robot." Gogo started, giving a playful punch. "Do your thing!"
The three heroes braced themselves for impact as Baymax rised upward and slowly propells down as instructed. The sounds of the jetstreams slowing down was like the sounds of disappointment coming in. Honey Lemon sighs. Well... it was fun while it lasted... I was starting to like that calm wind.
The robot landed at the back of Fred's house, where Hiro was showing them that Baymax can now fly back in the day. This made the college students pondered over the boy, remembering the fate that he had to go through... I wonder what he's doing now... Gogo thought as she dispatched herself from the huggable robot.
Honey Lemon came next, trying to slow her breathing from such a flight. Wasabi on the other hand hugged the floor, feeling the sweet release. "Oh thank god it's over!" He said, kissing the ground. "Next time, I'd rather just stick with the helicopter ride!"
"Oh come on, Wasabi." Gogo complains, blowing a bubble. "It was fun and you know it! Sure, you may not like it the first time, but you'll get use to it..."
Wasabi stood up, dusting himself off from hugging the ground. "I... I'm not sure if I want to get use to it..." He said, looking down in embarrassment.
Honey Lemon watched the conversation unfold, smiling at the things they say. So typical... She thought, always poking fun at Wasabi's actions and sore spots...
She put her hands together and moved it closer to her chest, thinking about the previous events that occured. Hiro and Fred falling into the unknown, Tadashi deciding to go after them because Baymax believes that they are still alive down there, the rest agreeing in such a decision, leaving Tadashi alone to chase after the two fallen heroes...
The blondie closed her eyes at the thought. What a trip that has been... So many things happening at once...
"Honey Lemon?"
"Huh?" She perked her head up to the sound of a robotic voice. She turned around to see healthcare companion waddle closer to the lady, blinking.
"Your neurotransmitters are lowered, your breathing is picking up a bit, and your heart rate is increasing at an inconsistent rate..." He puts his robotic finger up. "Diagnosis: Stress."
Honey Lemon sighed, giving Baymax a pained smile. "You got that right... You saw what happened, you know...?" Baymax blinked and moved his head to the side, remembering what was going on before they got here.
"Seeing an event like that caused you distress..." Baymax continued, lowering his robotic hand. "It is normal for someone to feel this way... Might I suggest physical reassurance?"
"Well... that sounds ni-" Honey Lemon gasped at the surprisingly close touch behind her. She turned around to see Gogo and Wasabi putting their arms around her from behind. She raised a brow. "What are you two-"
"Already on it, Honey." Wasabi cut in, tightening his hold. "We are here for you!"
"Agreed!" Gogo added in, following what the other hugging college student was doing. Baymax watched the scene of his former patients and friends. He tilted his head and blinked. The robot waddled over and joined in a few seconds later, wrapping his robot arms around the group.
"Oh come on, you guys..." Honey Lemon commented. "I'm fine now, really..."
"You will be alright..." Baymax replies, patting the blondie's hair. "There... There..."
The blond let out a content sigh, adjusting her glasses. "Thanks guys... You're the best."
The group removed themselves from the hug. Gogo gave a playful punch to the now not distressed friend. "That's what friends are for!"
"Yeah!" Wasabi agreed, giving a thumbs up. "We look out for each other, right?"
Honey Lemon laughed. Of course they do! What kind of friend would they be if they didn't? They always know how to keep each other's spirits up, no matter what happens in the world they live in today.
The three heard the sound of a door opening. They all turned their heads in alarm. It was Heathcliff. It seems that he heard something coming from the back of the mansion. He squinted at the people who were staring right back at him.
"Welcome back, Master Frederick's friends." He said, giving a gesture. "I assume you are doing well tonight?"
"Oh, Heathcliff!" Gogo greeted, popping her bubble. "I forgot you're still around. It's nice to see you too."
Honey Lemon nodded. "We were having a little friend bonding, so we are doing fine now. Thanks!"
The butler gave a bow. "It's nice to hear that." He said in his usual monotone voice. He perked up, raising a brow at something that males him seem odd. "Now, may I ask why there's only... four of you? Where is Master Frederick?"
The three tensed up at such a question. It wasn't really the hardest thing to answer, they can't deny. Problem was, it was so ludicrous and it ended up having a change in plans in the process... Also how would they tell a butler that their fellow 'master' has fallen into an unknown area, and would quite possibly not come back?
"Well..." Wasabi started, rubbing his head. "There is a lot to talk about... Should we take this conversation, inside?"
"And... that's what happened..."
It took a moment for Heathcliff to process what just happened. He took in all the details. The confrontation, the inevitable battle, the finishing blow that ended up not according to plan, Fred and Hiro falling to their doom, and so on.
"Most unfortunate..." He commented, making a gesture of apology. "Are Master Frederick and Tadashi okay?"
"Baymax told us that they were still alive down there." Honey Lemon answers, "But we don't know if they are actually injured or anything... It seems like a they fell pretty far..."
Gogo and Wasabi looked down in remorse. Baymax patted Honey Lemon's hair in attempt to comfort her, to which she obliged. "Thanks again, you adorable robot..."
"It is my pleasure..." He replies, moving his hand away from the blond hair. He looks over to the butler. "Though I must say, Heathcliff seems to be taking it quite well..."
"Is that so?" Heathcliff asked rhetorically. "I've seen many things when all of you were wandering around the mansion, testing out your as Master Frederick calls it, 'superhero suits'. I'm sure all of you will be able to handle it well... From what I heard from Master Frederick's stories, I think you guys handled much worse than this."
Wasabi raised a brow. "You really think so? I mean... I guess trying to save our little buddy was better than what we've encountered last time... Wouldn't you say?"
"Well... in a way, yes! But it didn't have our two friends possibly on the verge of death..." Gogo answered, unintentionally bringing the idea of death in this. This made the others feel a bit uneasy. There was a possibility that their two friends would make it through this, but there was another chance that they could be dead and just not know it...
Honey Lemon put her hands up slightly, trying to silence the thought. "Let's not think about that. What's important is that everything is going to be okay from here. We believe in Tadashi trying to find our two friends right?"
"That's right!" Gogo and Wasabi said at the same time. "They will make it through this! I know they can..." The three college students put their hands on their chest, believing it to be true.
"I see..." The butler said, agreeing with their current statements. He stood up from his seat and picked up the tray on the table. He turned around. "I'm going to get refreshments for you three. You went through quite a bit, so you need to relax." He moved forward into the hallway, silently giving them a gesture of apology before going on his merry way. "I... I hope those two and that kid Hiro you all were looking for are alright."
"Sure thing." Gogo said, holding her hand out. "And... I hope so too..."
And with that, the butler leaves to go get refreshments for the guests.
Now, it's just three people and a robot sitting around in Fred's bizarre room. To this day, it still seems weird despite being in here before. Maybe it was the sheer ridiculousness, or the fact that this dude of all people lived in a mansion. Nevertheless, it was weird no matter how many reasons pull up inside their nerd brains.
"Now what do we do?" Wasabi said, reclining on the futon. "We have a madman on the loose, and our two friends' lives could possibly be in sudden jeopardy."
"Like we said, Wasabi. They are going to make it through this." Gogo remarked. "We'll get back to our main objective eventually. For now, remember what Fred's butler said. We need to relax."
All three of them sighed in slight disappointment. There was really nothing to do at this point but chill out and not think about anything.
However, it didn't take long before some robot decided to break the silence.
"I do not understand." Baymax started, tilting his head.
Gogo's head perked up from her thoughts, and faced the robot. "What is it, big guy?" She asked, a bit tired.
"Despite what you all said about Hiro, Fred, and Tadashi's sudden turn of events, you all still seem to be very distressed." The robot answers. "Do you still think they can be in great danger?"
Honey Lemon sighs, standing up and looking at nothing in the distance. "That's just it... We don't know if they're really okay. We just assumed those three will make it through... That's all..."
"Are you saying you don't actually believe they're doing just fine?"
"No no!" The blondie replies, turning her head and shaking her hands. "I believe they do! We all are... It's just..." She turned her head to the window, giving a sad look in the reflection. She sighed as her eyes closed.
"I can't but think that there is still a possibility that they aren't going to make it out alive..." She admitted, moving her head down.
Baymax stared at the distressed blondie, and the two other college students who they admittingly, thought the same way she was thinking. Sure, they believed that they are still alive and well, but that certainly does not change the fact that their three friends could be hurt or worse, dead.
The robot honestly didn't want the patients to feel like this. He was a healthcare companion. He puts his... his friends first before himself.
Friends... Baymax remembered that time when Hiro fist said that to him. It didn't quite mean anything since he was a robot, but then... it was starting to catch up with the fellow robot. Hiro's smile, his enthusiasm, his physical affection. It was all because the boy was a friend to the robot in his eyes...
The healthcare companion blinked as he looked down, activating his screen. If he can cheer up a friend like Hiro, he can cheer up the rest of his friends too.
Due to the robot's sudden actions, it gained the attention of the exhausted yet distresed college students. Wasabi raised a brow. "What are you doing, Baymax?" He asked. The two ladies beside him moving closer to the robot, following with what the dude was saying.
"I am trying to find a way to contact our lost friends..." Baymax answers, showing a picture of Fred, Hiro, and Tadashi. "I suggested that in doing so, it with help with all of your emotional states..."
"Aw... that's so sweet..." Honey Lemon commented, feeling a warmth in her heart. "He's trying to make us lighten up."
"Gotta hand it to Baymax..." Wasabi replies. "His programming on emotional injuries plays no joke..."
"Whoa whoa, hold up!" Gogo interrupted, going in between Baymax an her two friends. "Tadashi, Fred, and Hiro are too deep down. There is almost no possible way they can hear our signals from down there..."
"Well... maybe our cell phones can't..." Wasabi admitted. He looked past Gogo and focused on Baymax, who is trying to get a call from their former friends. "But... maybe Tadashi's healthcare robot can..."
This made Honey Lemon and Gogo raise their brows in confusion. "Huh?" The biker questioned.
"Hiro gave Baymax an upgrade with his sensors, remember?" He asked. The two ladies nodded their heads in agreement, remembering that day when Hiro introduced the Baymax 2.0. "So, maybe if Baymax uses those as a cellphone signal we might be able to reach out to them and see if they are doing okay."
"I see..." The healthcare bot replied. "I will see if doing that will contact Fred, Hiro, and Tadashi."
"Go for it, you amazing piece of technology." Gogo complimented nonchalantly. With that, Baymax activated his updated sensors on his helmet, sending the wireless signals below the streets of San Fransokyo.
"Let's hope there is luck..." Honey Lemon spoke out, putting her hands on her chest. If their missing friends are still down there, they have to pick up...
They just have to...
Step... Step... Step... Step...
"Man..." Hiro muttered to himself, as he kept on walking into the dark tunnel. "I feel a bit lightheaded from being in the dark for so long... Let's hope I'm not dizzy again like what happened last time..." He put a hand on his head, feeling a bit of a headache due to overthinking. Seriously? What caused that to happen?
"Hey, little guy! You awake?"
"Huh?" The boy turned his attention to Fred, who was going to touch his shoulder in reassurance. "You good?" He aaked in concern.
Hiro gave a small smile, putting his hand away from his now calmed down headache. "I'm fine... Don't worry! I'm not gonna zone out like last time... I promise."
"Looks like you won't be needing to experience that anytime soon..." Fred replied, rubbing the kid's messy hair. Hiro pushed the comic lover's hands away in annoyance and raised a brow. "Oh yeah? How so?" He asked, crossing his arms.
"Because..." The dude started, pointing at a direction. "It looks like we found a way out!"
Hiro paused at the statement. He blinked, widening his eyes im surprise. "We... we did?" He asks, fidgeting his hands a bit.
"Yeah! I can see more light!" Fred answers, about to run towards it. "This has to be it!"
The two men moved closer to the sheer brightness at the end of the tunnel. They couldn't really see what was there. They assumed (Well, Fred assumed...) That they made it out of the Subway station and into the blue skies of San Fransokyo...
But, sadly that wasn't the case. There was no tunnel anymore, and what they saw now was not exactly what they imagined it would be.
"Or... not..." Fred sighed, rubbing his head. "I thought for sure following the tracks would lead us back to the outskirts of the city."
"Remind me to never follow your assumptions ever again..." Hiro said, crossing his arms, unamused.
"Hey now... We may not be able to find a way out of here immediately, but look on the bright side. More adventure~"
"Riiight..." Hiro shrugged, walking towards a wall. He looked up. "Hey, perhaps we can get a better view of the area from here?" The boy commented, trying to make his way up the high ledge. There was no avail though... He struggled a bit, but in the end, he kept falling back onto the tracks. "Man... why do I have to be so... short?" He muttered to himself, somehow feeling insulted.
Fred watched as the kid tried to get up on that platform. Now that's just silly. He's trying to get up there, but his height says otherwise... Poor guy... Not wanting to see the confused child suffer anymore of what he was doing, the dude walked over and went into a kneeling position, holding his hands out.
This made Hiro stop what he was doing and stare at the comic lover in confusion. "Uh... what are you planning?"
"I'm not planning anything, silly." Fred said, innocently. "It looks like you could y'know... use a hand?"
"Uh... no?" The boy said, feeling a bit of awkwardness as to what's going on. "But I can use a step, and it looks like your hands feel right for the job." He put his foot on Fred's hands causing him to be go a bit higher and actually reach the ledge. He put his other foot on the high ledge, pulling his entire body upward and onto the platform. "There we go..." He said, feeling accomplished. "I'm such a genius!"
"Hey, Fred!" He spoke out immediately after. "You need assistance?"
The comic lover just stood there, giving himself a poker face. Damn... he didn't fall for the pun... He thought sadly. Well, that's a thing with amnesia I guess... they lost a bit of their comical sense of humor...
"Hey! Buddy! Did you hear me?"
"Huh?" Fred snapped out of his thoughts and looked up to see an outstretched hand coming from the confused child. "Oh right! Gimme a sec." He said before grabbing onto the smaller boy's hand. Hiro pulled him up the nest he could, feeling the weight pull down on him in doing so. For a skinny dude, he seems kinda heavy... or maybe that's just me?
Fred was now on the higher ledge Hiro was on now. Hiro panted as he stood up from his knees, trying to catch his breath from using all of his strength in pulling the comic lover up. He moved his head upward to look at the surroundings. "Check it out..."
The comic lover looked up to see a huge area... It looked to be some sort of giant waiting area for more subway trains. There were two tracks from what they can see; one going upward and the other one going downward. Fred beamed. He really did feel like he was in a comic book. It felt like a dream.
"This is amazing!" He said happily. "I'll say this right now! This is a dream come true!"
"Let's... not get into conclusions?" Hiro said, questionably. "This unknown place may look deserted... but that doesn't explain why it still has running power..."
"I don't care!" Fred says, feeling ecstatic. "I'm having the coolest time of my life! How can they make this adventure even better?!"
Hiro gave Fred an unamused look. "Always looking at the positive side of things aren't we?" The kid looked at his surroundings. Behind him was a vending machine that doesn't appear to be working. Figures... no one is really around here, so of course this thing is out of commission. He looked at what was next to the machine. It appears to be a bunch of small doors... could they lead somewhere?
The kid put his hand on the supposed knob, and pulled. It wasn't opening, much to Hiro's surprise. He tried the other doors, attempting to open them. The exact same thing happened. Weird... He thought. I see something in one of those doors, but I can't reach it... that's lame...
"Hey, Hiro. Are you done messing with the lockers?"
"Lockers?" Hiro blinked. "Is that what they're called? I thought they were just smaller doors."
Fred laughed at that comment. Smaller doors? Man, that amnesia really makes him call simple everday things surreal names. It's kind of like how I nickname my friends only this time, it's objects.
Hiro looked away in embarassment... Can't that dude give him a break? He said it to him before, he couldn't remember anything. Not his past, his fellow peers, none of that sort of stuff. It was a complete mind blank for him. He was about snap at the comic lover for such petty things... It honestly wasn't funny to the kid, but before he can even do that...
RIIIING! RIIIING! RIIIING!
"Huh?" The fourteen year old questioned at the sound. "Hey, friend... Do you hear that?"
Fred stopped at Hiro's sudden question. "Hear what, little guy?"
RIIIING! RIIIING! RIIIING!
"What the?" The comic lover realized, hearing that sound. The dude turned around to see some sort of red case, wired to the floor. It was in the middle of the station, and it was out of place too.
They walked close to it, examining it further. Hiro blinked at the source of the sound. A red case... Why does that thing make his heart... go faster? He put his hand on his head in reflex. Somehow staring at the case actually made his head hurt. "Ow... what the...?"
He sank down to the ground, his head reaching unbearable pain. He closed his eyes, feeling more irritation coming from his head. This really hurts... He thought to himself. Make it stop... make it stop... Please... make it go away...
He didn't even hear the sounds of his friend calling out to him in distressed, and before he knew it there was silence.
The pain in his head slowed down a bit. It felt ice cold... Hiro opened his eyes. He blinked. In his surroundings, it wasn't an abandoned subway station anymore. It was more of a... room that was filled with unfinished projects and... a bed. Hiro wondered... Odd... why does this place seem so familiar?
Okay, buddy... let's get back to your charging station! Come on!
"Huh?" He was a bit startled on hearing that voice. "Was... Wasn't that my voice? Charging station? What's... What's that?"
RIIIING! RIIIING! RIIIING!
The confused boy's eyes narrowed at the sound. "Why am I hearing that again?" He questioned to himself. "Where was it coming from?"
I am... your... personal... Bay...
"What is going... on?"
He didn't know if he was seeing or hearing things at this point, but somehowthe room and everything around him was fading to black. Hiro's eyes widened. Oh no no no no! He thought, panicking. Not this! Anything but this! Don't make me think I'm dreaming again!
The somewhat amnesiac boy's head hurt. It really hurts more than ever. This sudden change of pace was getting nowhere. His mind is starting to go crazy at the things around him. He didn't know what these all mean, or how it got into his head... He just wanted it all to stop... Right. Now.
RIIIING! RIIIING! RIIIING!
"Goddamn..." Hiro said weakly to nobody. "What do you want from me...?"
Suddenly, all of the noises stopped. Now, it was only dead silence... The messy haired kid opened his eyes, and in front of him was that same red case he saw earlier... only... it's more cleaner... more brighter...
"What...?" Hiro commented, moving his hands away from his head. "This... thing..."
RIIIING! RIIIING! RIIIING!
"Have I..." The kid reached out to it, curiously wondering why this is the only thing here in a pitch black void. "Have I seen this... before?"
The headache came back a bit, sending a signal to the familiarity. Hiro's eyes narrowed, as he continued to reach out for it...
This case... He examined. I've never seen anything like this, but somehow... my mind keeps telling me... You've seen this somewhere... What's going on...?
His hand inched closer, closer to the familiar red case until...
HIRO!
The kid blinked at the sound of his name. He gasped, feeling his brain moving around. He looked at his surroundings, seeing that his vision blurred... He blinked a few more times to get a clear view. Once he did, he found out that he was... on the ground?
"Oh, thank god!" Fred called out, sighing in relief. "I... I thought I lost my little friend for a bit there..."
"F-Fred..." Hiro said weakly. "Is that you? What... What happened?"
The concerned comic lover didn't say anything. He held up his hand, signaling Hiro that assistance needed to be made. He took Fred's hand, and he got pulled into a sitting position. Hiro let go and put his hand over his head. Whoa... my... my head... did... did I get knocked out?
"You good?" He heard his friend's voice. The beanie dude examined the kid's face for any supposed injuries. "You suddenly collapsed and blacked out on me... I thought I lost ya for good!"
"I... I fell?" Hiro asked, confused. Fred nodded.
"You were staring at that red case for so long... Were you seeing something that I didn't?"
"I... I-I um..." The boy was stuttering, trying to think what happened earlier with him... But somehow... he couldn't remember a thing... He honestly didn't know why he was like that just now... It was as if his mind told him that... it never happened.
RIIIING! RIIIING! RIIIING!
The two men put their heads up in alarm. That case was still ringing all this time... Hiro's eyes narrowed at the red case once again... Huh... was that always there? Why is it making those sounds? He hasn't seen anything like it.
"Jeez!" Fred yelled, feeling annoyed now. "That telephone noise has been going about since we got here... I have no idea what this thing is or why it's here..."
RIIIING! RIIIING! RIIIING!
Hiro slowly stood up, focusing on that one red object. "Looks like we are about to find out..." He saw a button on that red case. Perhaps it had to do something with the repeated sound? The kid moved closer to it, hearing that sound getting louder and louder.
RIIIING! RIIIING! RIIIING!
Hiro paused at the sight of it... What is something like this making... telephone noises doing here? He pressed the button, causing two eyes to pop out of the box before inflating.
It appears to be a... marshmallow robot thing. He turned to Fred who tilted his head in recognition. He didn't seem to say anything at the sight of it.
"Hello..." It said, causing the boy to turn back at it. The robot waved. "[ACTIVATING_CONTEMPORARY_SPEECH_MODE] I am Bay-KRRRRSH [REMOVING_ERRORS] BaYmax... Your personal guide to the [CALCULATING...] promised land!"
"Baymax?" Hiro paused. "Hey... Is this what you were talking about before, Fred?"
Fred just stood there, completely frozen at the sight of it all. He didn't even catch Hiro's question because of that. "B-Baymax...? Is that really you?" He asked, shocked.
"I do not appear to [ERROR] recognize you..." The robot said, tilting his head. This caused the comic lover to catch his breath, not seeming to like that answer. The supposed Baymax lifted both of hands and waved. "It looks like we've got some-KRRRRSSSHHH [REMOVING_ALL_ERRORS] some new passangers today... How unusual..."
"Unusual...?" Hiro questioned. "What do you mean by that uh... Baymax?"
"It's not everyday you get to see new [DELETING_WORD] faces in a place like this... [ANALYZING_GENERIC_LIFE: 90% Human 10% Burned] I am happy to be of service to you at the very [SLANG_NOT_FOUND] least. You all seem to be lost..."
Hiro made a clicking noise, snapping his fingers. "You... got that right... You don't suppose that there's a way to get back to a place called..." The boy got into a thinking pose, trying to remember what the city was called. "C'mon, what was it?" He asked himself. "It was at the top of my head and now it's not there... what was the city called?"
"San Fransokyo..."
Hiro blinked, and turned to his former friend, who finished the sentence for him. He smiled. It looks like Fred came back to the world of reality... That was to an extent a relief to the small boy. He honestly didn't want to do all the talking around here... "Yeah... what he said! San Fransokyo..."
"San Fransokyo..." BaYmax said, processing. "You wish to go to the [PROCESSING] promised land."
"Promised land?" Fred asked. "I like the sound of that nickname... let's go with that!"
"I think he already knows, Fred..." Hiro said, unamused at his friend's playful tone. "So... now that you know our destination... do you... know the way out of here?"
"Why, of course." BaYmax answered. "That is my prime directive, here in the current location that is [ERROR] Kuroshira Metro."
"Huh?" Fred said, furrowing his brows. "Directive?"
"My prime purpose is to guide people to the [CALCULATING...] promised land." The robot tilted his head downward, activating a screen, showing a visual to which Hiro and Fred move closer at the presentation.
"The promised land is a place filled with your wildest dreams! Blue skies, lively people, a life where you can be happy 100%. Not many people down here are able to make it to this place due to [SLANG_NOT_FOUND] reasons..." BaYmax explains, turning off the visual. "You two have been in the dark for quite some time... Perhaps you'd like to be [ERROR] up there."
"That's what we've been... kinda doing this whole time!" Hiro says, awkwardly rubbing his head. "You think you can take us there?"
BaYmax nodded. "I shall take you there now..."
"Whoa really?!" The comic lover said, surprised. "We're gonna make it back alive!"
KRRRRSHHH!
"NOT...!" The robot said, sparks flying a bit.
Fred took a step back in disbelief. "What?!" He called out. "But you said you were gonna take us out of here... for a robot I know, you have a sick sense of humor. Not cool!"
"As I said before, [ERROR] anomaly... I do not recognize someone like you..." The robot said, putting his finger up. "Now as I was [SLANG_NOT_FOUND] saying..."
"I... I don't understand." Hiro stated, feeling a bit nervous at the current situation. "Why are we not able to leave?"
"You must know that-KRRRRSSSHHH [REMOVING_ERROR] have to prove their worth before they are eligible to reach the fabled promised land." BaYmax explained. "10,007 applicants are currently doing this test so far, which makes you 10,008, child."
"Me?" Hiro asked, pointing at himself. "I'm 10,008?"
"[ERROR] right!" The guidance bot answered. "This is a one time opportunity for you to get to the place of your dreams... I wish you good luck and [SLANG_NOT_FOUND]."
"Oh..." The kid said, feeling flustered at the compliment. "Well, thanks...?"
The robot blinked, perking it's head up away from the child. "This is Kuroshira Metro Central Station! It is the central hub of this entire facility..." It explained. This caught Fred's attention a bit.
"Facility?" He asked himself. "It's an abandoned subway station and a facility? This adventure never seizes to surprise me!"
The guidance bot blinked at such a statement the comic lover made. It moved it's robotic hand, sparks came flying as it happened. "I shall send you the required items for your test! A KQ card and a KQ-80!"
Static started to come out of that glitchy sentient robot. Within seconds the access port on the side of BaYmax's chest was opening. Spitting out the supposed KQ card and later out of nowhere, the KQ-80.
"Well..." Hiro commented, looking at the dropped items. "This sure is something not gonna lie..."
"I suggest you hold onto these things at all times." BaYmax explains, holding up his robotic finger. "If you manage to lose these things, then you might as well be [ERROR]"
"Uh..." Fred said, feeling uneasy. "I don't like the sound of that, thank you..."
"Then it's settled..." The guidance bot says, getting into it's automatic deactivation protocol. "My services aren't needed anymore. Now pick up your given items and [SLANG_NOT_FOUND] get on our train... Outie 5600."
And with that, the robot deflates back into it's dirty red case, deactivating.
"Okaaayyyy..." Hiro says in a slur, giving an unsure look on his face "That was certainly something out of the blue..."
"Yeah it was..." The taller one agreed. "What's another Baymax doing here?"
The kid blinked at that question, suddenly remembering something. "Wait a moment." He said, picking up his two required items. "You never really answered my question."
"Really?" Fred asked, scratching his head. "What was it?"
"You didn't answer my question about Baymax earlier." Hiro answers, putting his KQ card in his pocket. "You mentioned him once when we were at that roadblock before. Is this this so called, 'Baymax' you were talking about?"
Fred sucked in a breath. He really wanted to say, 'Yes, I do know this invention.' But at the same time, he didn't think it would be the right call. This Baymax doesn't seem to recognize them, so it may just be a different robot after all... But that just bothers him for some reason... Wasn't there only one Baymax?
Before he could give the kid a straight answer...
BEEEEEEEP!
"What?!" Hiro yelled, turning his head towards the sound. He heard the sound of what appears to be a horn, and shortly after, the sound of train tracks occured. It progressively got louder and louder by the minute.
Fred's eyes squinted at the tunnel. He sees light. It was coming closer to them. And, without a doubt it was a subway train, a fully functional one at that. "Whoa..." The comic lover commented. "A subway train that actually works?!"
Hiro's eyes widened at it. "Yeah, I can't believe it either..." The doors to the train opened, signalling them to hop inside and enjoy the ride. "Well, there's nothing left to do but... get on this this train..." The kid's head turned to Fred. "You in?"
"Heck yeah, I'm in!" Fred answers, happily. "I want to see what crazy things are going around here, before we reach the promised land!" That last two words he said were filled with optimism. "Now, this is a story I never want to forget."
The now very intersted comic lover stepped into the train. He waves at Hiro, giving a signal. "Come on, dude! We'll answer our questions in here! Let's go."
Hiro blinked. He looked at his KQ-80 in his one hand, and the KQ card in his pocket. His eyes narrowed a bit. Weird... I've felt this kind of feeling before... but where?
The fourteen year old shook is head. Now, is not the time to be thinking about stuff like this. He follows his friend into the train cart he was in. In doing so, the doors were going to slide closed, ready to drive on the tracks again. The train shifted at the start, but it slowly began to move to the direction where they just saw it coming.
Hiro looked out the windows of the train. He eyed at that red case that was no longer ringing at the moment. "This journey just jeeps getting weirder and weirder..." he whispered to himself, before the train was disappearing into the dark tunnel to see the unknown areas below San Fransokyo.
And, chapter three is done!
Pit: This is quite possibly the longest chapter you've had in a while...
Dark Pit: Your writing seems to be more in detail instead of straight to the point. I guess a lot of years of not doing anything seems to affect you...
Eh... That could be the case. Anyway, what do you guys think? Like it? Hate it? I'll never know for sure. Please leave your comments in the reviews. It will honestly help out a lot! It gives me more motivation to make stories like these, better. I'm glad to see that people really do read this fic, instead of turning away.
Next time on Remember that Light:
Tests... Enemies... Rewards... Someone that guides you... It's like a video game in real life! Fred thought to himself. But still though... Why go through stuff like this in the first place...? Is this what San Fransokyo used to be like...?
"Hey, Fred?" Hiro interrupted his thoughts. "Is that device next to you supposed to be vibrating like that?"
Fred blinked. "Huh?" He replied, snapping out of his thoughts and looking at the cell phone. "What?" He picked up the cell phone and looked at the screen. It was an incoming call. "But... How is it able to pick up a transmission from down here?"
"What's going on?" Hiro asks, tilting his head.
"Someone is calling us... Maybe an SOS?" Fred suggested, hitting the pick up button. "Hello... This is Fredzilla speaking! Who is this? Anyone? Helloooo?"
"Um..." The kid questions, "Fredzilla?"
"It's my superhero name, silly." He commented, as he turned his attention back to his cell phone. "Is anyone picking up?"
"...Mic check! Hello?! Is anyone getting this signal?!"
Fred blinked at that oh so familiar voice. As for Hiro, he only tilted his head. "Wait... Gogo?!"
*gives a salute* Sayonara, Viewers! I'm out! See you in Chapter Four!
FLAME ON!
