Chapter 4: Uncovering a Plot

(Now I know some of you readers were a little disappointed that I let Tadashi die, but I assure you that end of the story will make up for it, and check out the poll on my profile.)


Days later everyone gathered at the cafe after Tadashi's funeral. Everyone wore their best black outfits, and sat around drinking coffee, (except for Cass who drank tea).

Hiro however was sitting on the top off the stairs, looking depressed, and then went up to his room. A week had passed, and Hiro didn't leave his room, or go to school.

One morning, he was just sitting in a beanbag chair on Tadashi's side of the room. Then Cass came into the room carrying a plate of pancakes and bacon.

"I brought you some breakfast, in case you were hungry." she said.

"Thanks." replied Hiro quietly.

Cass set the plate down, and took the plate of the dinner Roy gave him last night, the food was still on the plate.

"You know, the university called. They say it's not too late for you to register."

"Thanks, I'll think about it." said Hiro.

Cass went back downstairs.

"How's he doing?" wondered Roy.

"He still hasn't eaten, Roy." answered Cass.

Roy put an arm around his wife's shoulders.

"You know how much Tadashi meant to Hiro. It's just going to take a little more time."

"I hope you're right." replied Cass, as she looked down at her swollen stomach.

"I really don't want the baby coming into this kind of atmosphere."

Upstairs Hiro closed the blinds that Cass had opened, and saw he had a video message. He clicked it, and saw it was a video from his friends.

"Hey, Hiro, we miss you at school." said Honey.

"We hope to see you soon." added Wasabi.

"If I could, I would go through the screen and give you a hug." replied Fred, and the message finished.

Hiro then looked at the letter of acceptance, and his robot. Deciding between going back to bot fighting or going to school, like Tadashi wanted. He tossed the letter in the trash, and picked up his robot.

But a piece of the robot fell off, right on his toe.

"Oww, oww, ouch." winced Hiro sitting up on his bed, and holding his toe.

Then the small alarm went off on Tadashi's side of the room, and out came Baymax.

He made his way over to Hiro while knocking down a few books.

"Hello, I am Baymax. Your personal healthcare companion." he greeted.

"Uh, hey. Baymax I didn't know you still worked." said Hiro.

"I heard a sound of distress. What's wrong?"

"Oh, I just stubbed my toe, I'm okay."

"On a scale of one to ten how would you rate your pain?"

"A zero. I'm okay, really. Thanks you can go back in your box now."

"Does it hurt when I touch it?" asked Baymax, reaching down to Hiro's foot.

"That's okay, I'm fiiiiine." answered Hiro, as he fell backwards, between his bed and the desk.

He tried to get out, but he was stuck.

"You have fallen."

"No, really?"

He reached up to grab the shelf, but the shelf broke, sending Hiro's action figures sliding down on top off him.

Baymax asked how would rate his pain four times.

"(Groans), zero." answered Hiro.

"It is all right to cry." said Baymax, getting ready to pick him up.

"No, don't." said Hiro.

"Crying is a natural response to pain." explained Baymax.

"I'm not crying." Hiro told him, squirming out of Baymax's arms.

"I will scan you for injuries."

"Don't scan me."

"Scan complete."

"Unbelievable."

"So have sustained no injuries. However, your hormone and neurotransmitter levels indicate that you are experiencing mood swings. Common in adolescence. Diagnosis: puberty." Baymax informed.

"Whoa, what? Okay look this has been great, but you need to go back in your box." replied Hiro, freaked out.

"You should prepare to experience excessive hair growth on the face, chest, underarms, and..."

"Okay, let's get you back in your luggage." interrupted Hiro, as he tried to put Baymax back in his container.

"I cannot deactivate until you say you are satisfied with your care." Baymax told him.

"I'm satisfied with my, whoa." said Hiro, but he slid off Baymax and onto the floor.

While he was down there, he heard something coming from his jacket pocket.

He reached in to reveal the last microbot he had. It was moving around like crazy.

"My microbot, that's impossible. It must be broken."

He then put it in a petri dish.

Baymax then looked at the mircobot.

"Your microbot is trying to go somewhere." he said.

"I told you it's broken."

"It's trying to go somewhere."

"Well why don't you go find out where."

"Will it help your emotional state?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever."

A few seconds later, Baymax heard noise coming from outside his window. He looked out, and saw Baymax carrying the dish into the street.

"Baymax!" Hiro shouted.

He quickly grabbed his shoes and jacket, and flew downstairs.

"Whoa, Hiro where are you going?" wondered Cass.

"Uh, I'm going to apply for classes." Hiro lied.

"Oh, honey that's wonderful." said Cass, hugging her nephew.

"Yeah, great." replied Hiro.

"Well special dinner tonight, I'll make those spicy chicken wings. That make your face melt."

"Yeah, sounds great, gotta go." said Hiro.

"Wait, one more hug." Cass told him, giving him another hug.

"Oh, wait till your uncle gets home, he'll be so proud."

Hiro quickly ran out, and followed Baymax through the crowd.

Finally he found Baymax standing outside an old abandoned warehouse.

"I found where your microbot is trying to go." Baymax informed.

"I told you the dumb thing's broken." said Hiro, taking away the dish.

But then he saw that the microbot was moving towards the door, like it wanted to go inside. Hiro looked at the door which had a giant lock on it.

"We can't get in this way."

"There's a way in."

Baymax pointed to the window.

Soon Hiro was on top of Baymax's head.

"I advise you to be careful. A fall from this height would result in injury."

Hiro managed to get through the window, and soon saw Baymax stuck in it.

"Excuse me, while I let out some air." said Baymax, and with that he deflated a little bit, and squeezed through.

"It will take me a moment to get filled back up again."

"You do that." Hiro told him.

He went downstairs, and took a look around. While he was doing so, he saw something behind some curtains.

He quickly grabbed a broom, and went through the curtains. He didn't see anyone, but he did see a conveyor belt making microbots. He went over, and picked them up in his hands.

"My microbots?" he wondered.

Then he saw that there were hundreds of bins on the floor, each containing trillions of microbots.

"Someone's been making them, lots of them."

"Hiro?" asked Baymax.

Hiro yelped, and turned around.

"Baymax, you gave me a heart attack."

"My hands are equipped with defibrillators, clear." said Baymax, reaching his hands towards Hiro's chest.

"Stop, stop. It's just an expression."

Suddenly the microbot he had started moving like crazy, and behind him, all the microbots were coming out from the bins.

"Oh no."

"Run!" shouted Hiro, as he ran, but looked back to see Baymax just walking slowly.

"I am not fast." he explained.

"No kidding." said Hiro, as he grabbed his hand, and pulled him.

They ran to the door, and Hiro tried to open it but it was locked.

"Kick it down." he told Baymax.

He did, but no dice.

"Then punch it."

He did, but still nothing. As the microbots got closer, Hiro realized they had to go out the way they came in.

Hurrying up the stairs, Hiro tried to push Baymax out the window, but he was too big. He looked back, and saw a man wearing a kabuki mask, staring at him. He lifted his hands and the microbots, did as he did.

With all his might Hiro pushed Baymax, until he got out, and he and Baymax fell out the window. Baymax quickly grabbed onto Hiro, as the two fell. And Hiro landed on the ground with a shocked look on his face.
