Back inside the basement, the gargoyle walked back from the doorway, growling to itself in frustration at the prey getting away. It moved its eyes towards the rest of the basement for damage. So far, nothing of value was lost, although the golden decorations surrounding the coffin had been pushed aside into disarray. The coffin itself is fine but slightly pushed away from the position it was supposed to be.
Then, the gargoyle's nose picked up the familiar scent of blood. It looked down…and saw the tissue Gogo used to cover her bloody nose. On all fours, it approached the tissue, and gently picked it up. The blood in there was very fresh, and with enough squeezing power, droplets of blood could drop out of the tissue.
The gargoyle then eyed the coffin, and grew a smirk; this blood was that of a young, vibrant virgin…PERFECT for reviving its mistress.
The gargoyle then stomped its way towards the coffin, tissue in hand. At this point, the creature that the gargoyle sent after the team came running back. It was here that we can see the creature clearly.
It was a werewolf.
The werewolf's nose picked up the scent of blood, and it growled, crawling towards the gargoyle. The gargoyle turned to the wolf and growled back, warning it away. The werewolf, while reluctant, complied as it understood what it was trying to do.
Soon, the two of them approached the coffin, and the gargoyle, effortlessly, opened the coffin's lid and gently placed it down as they took a look at what was inside.
Inside the coffin was a mummified corpse of a person – a woman to be exact – with arms crossed in the chest. The body of the woman was shriveled and dried up, with closed eyes. On her chest, appears to be a silver stake, stabbing exactly where the heart would be.
The gargoyle looked at the stake, and with a growl, made a growling sound. The werewolf approached the coffin, and easily tore off the stake, sending it flying across the room. The gargoyle remained looking at the body, and then at the hole where the stake once was. It lifted its left hand and held the bloodied tissue over the hole.
As the gargoyle held it in place, it opened its mouth, and began…to speak. It was in a different language, Romanian to be exact.
Din păcate, amanta noastră. Blestemul care a ținut închis timp de două sute de ani a fost ridicat.
The gargoyle then squeezed the tissue, causing the blood to seep out of the tissue and into the hand before a droplet became visible from the stream.
Scoală-te cu sângele acestei virgine. Munca ta nu este încă terminat!
The droplet then falls from the hand, and drips onto the punctured remnants of the heart, followed by two more blood drops. A few moments later, another purple glow emits from the punctured heart as it began to regenerate its wounds back to its original state.
Ascultă vocile noastre, și de a trăi din nou!
As the gargoyle pulled its hand back, the purple glow begins to spread from the heart to the rest of the body. The gargoyle and werewolf stepped back as the glow intensified. From there, their enhanced hearing picked up the sounds of cracking and tearing.
Then, as the purple aura dissipates, smoke begins to billow from the coffin. The gargoyle and werewolf lowered themselves, bowing to whatever is coming out of the coffin. They then looked up, to see the silhouette of a large humanoid creature standing on top of the grave. However, it wasn't a werewolf. It was as tall as the werewolf, but it appeared thinner, yet still muscular compared to a human. There is also distinctive pointiness in where the ears are. Lastly, two large bat-shaped wings extended from the back of the monster. As it flexed its wings and stretched its arms out, the monster lets out an ear-piercing, soul-shattering screech!
CHWAAAAAAAHH!
The gargoyle and werewolf weren't phased by the noise, as they continued looking at their leader. The bat-like creature then flapped its wings, and it began to levitate. The two servants still couldn't see their master's body thanks to the smoke, and it was likely that they wouldn't get to anyways, as the bat monster blurred above them, crashing through the ceilings as if they were made of paper. Thanks to the flapping of the wings, the candle lights in the room were extinguished, leaving the room nearly empty, save for the spot where the moonlights shines its way inside.
CHWAAAAAAAHH!
The gargoyle and werewolf moved to the spot, and looked up, to see the dark shape of their mistress as it screeched into the night, before disappearing from view. The werewolf growled in place, while the gargoyle looked on in satisfaction.
Its mistress; a VAMPIRE, has now awakened, ready to unleash her wrath onto the mortal world once more.
Meanwhile, back at the mainland, a familiar intern was finishing up her work in her special lab in the famous Sycorax building.
Karmi was in her lab, given to her by famous billionaire Liv Amara. Not long ago, Liv has decided to give Karmi the internship to her company upon seeing her potential, when she was funded for her project; the Extra Derman Nano Receptor, which acts as paralytic sedatives.
Anyways, Karmi was finishing up examining one of her virus specimens, which is a Respiratory Syncytial Virus, C which affects the lungs, preventing oxygen deliveries. Karmi is writing down notes on how modifying the genetics of the virus would destroy the excessive amounts of the CD4+ T white blood cells that would clog up the lungs.
After finishing up the examination, she placed the cup over the petri dish and placed it inside the incubation machine to keep the virus warm for the night. "In here you go, 96-005. Have a good rest." she cooed to the virus, before winking. She then pulls out her phone and looks at the screen.
Displayed there, is a news article talking about what happened earlier at Akuma Island, and that the famous Big Hero 6 team – which made Karmi grow a smile as she began to think of her role model, 'Captain Cutie (who is actually Hiro Hamada)' – when she also read that a helicopter was seen flying into, and out of the island, seemingly carrying the famed superhero team members. Karmi raised a brow.
"Why aren't they riding on Red Panda?" she asked herself. Then, she sighed to herself. "Hope they're alright." she finished as she exited the News app, and took a glance at a picture of herself with Captain Cuite, which is what she made for her phone as wallpaper.
She then looked at the time. She lets out a sharp exhale and widened her eyes. It was nearly 10:15 PM.
"Oh my god…my parents are gonna kill me!" she said to herself as she placed her phone back in her pocket, and grabbed her purse before she began to walk out of her lab.
She sped along the halls, and made it towards one of the place's many cafeterias, with a window overlooking the outside city. She took a glance outside and gave a smile. She loved seeing the beautiful city at night; something about the colors, in addition to the beautiful full moon tonight gives off a nice…pleasant feeling. This is one of Karmi's favorite times of the day just for that reason alone. Karmi pulled her phone back out to take a quick picture when she noticed the wallpaper of Captain Cuite.
Then, suddenly, a memory flashed from the back of her mind. It was a memory of what happened earlier today with Hiro…She remembered exactly what he had told Baymax about her.
"I'm talking about someone as smart as me, closer to my age."
"I just want someone I can actually relate to; for once…"
Karmi felt her heart sink. She had never taken for consideration how Hiro felt beforehand, and a part of her now felt a bit stupid because of this. She had tried denying this since she heard this, and she had pushed that to the back of her mind for the rest of the day…until now that is…
However, Karmi shook her head. "*sigh* Maybe I should…get some rest. It WAS an exhausting work today, huh?" she murmured to herself, not caring if there was no one inside.
Karmi sighed to herself as she turned ahead, and continued walking into another set of halls, eventually leaving the cafeteria empty.
She didn't stay long enough to see a large shadow with bat-wings flying past.
Karmi continued walking along the halls, growing a bit anxious. This was her first week as a full intern at Sycorax, and thus, was not as able to familiarize herself with the building. The halls looked so similar, and it may just be her mind screwing with her, especially after what had happened with her remembering Hiro, but Karmi…felt lost.
Bang!
Karmi jumped at hearing a distant banging from the other side of the building, followed by items collapsing immediately afterward. Her heart began to beat as she panted. The banging created a strong rumbling that even she was able to feel. And the banging was from the other side! "What the hell? Was there an explosion?!" Karmi thought to herself.
Beep! Beep!
The sound of an alarm blaring along with the building, followed by flashing red lights made Karmi's stomach drop, and her eyes widened in fear once she heard several more bangs. "There must be some type of leak! I've gotta get to Amara!" she declared as she began to run across the halls. However, she remembered her current predicament.
"That's right…I don't know where to go! Oh, crud…I gotta find someone!" she muttered to herself as she ran ahead, hoping to find someone in this monolith of a building.
Meanwhile, in Liv Amara's office, Liv was looking at the security feed, wondering what the hell was going on in one of the lower floors of the building. Her assistant, Chris, was next to her, looking in with her.
"Did one of our creatures escape again?" he asked. Liv pressed a button on the keyboard, and it displayed the secret room, showing all of the creatures that they have stored. None of them are any animals that we know of; many of them are strange creatures. One of them even had multiple eyes.
After a few seconds of inspection, Liv shook her head. "Nope. None of our creatures broke out," she replied. Chris then raised a brow. "T-Then…what happened?" he asked. Liv shook her head. "I don't know. I'll have security track down whoever, or WHATEVER, made that break." she said as the monitor showed another room. It was in one of the storage rooms; with a large hole in the metallic door. What shook Liv and Chris was that the door was made of strong titanium, and whatever it was, crashed through them as if it were cardboard.
AAAAAHH!
AAAAAHHH!
Liv and Chris raised their heads upon hearing screams from outside. Liv frantically hit some more buttons, the screen repeatedly flickering from one room to another.
At one room, which is one of the larger labs, the red alarm barely made anything visible; but from the flashing, they could see several people being flung around by a creature. The lab went dark again, and there was a sound of a door crashing. The next red flash revealed a bloody carnage, with bodies, both intact yet thin, and dismembered, lying all over the lab.
Liv and Chris visibly paled. "What…the…hell, is that?" Liv asked to herself. Chris shook her head. "I don't know. But it is causing a lot of destruction and deaths." he stated. Liv glanced at him. "I realize that." she growled as she sped through the monitors. Then, she stopped at one of the monitors in the left halls. There, she saw her intern, Karmi, running along the halls, a look of panic on her face.
"Hello?! Somebody, help me! I'm lost!" she shouted, and Liv could hear her voice breaking from the fear. Immediately, she stood up. "I'm going to get her. Chris, find the creature yourself, and try to kill it." she instructed as she opened one of her drawers to her desk, and pulled out a semi-auto pistol. Chris looked at her in shock.
"You have a gun with you?" he asked. Liv nodded. "Of course; I've gotta keep myself safe somehow!" she said as she ran towards the door. Chris looked at her for a bit, before he nodded, and ran out of the room, towards the right hallways, with Liv heading to the left.
Back at the left halls, Karmi was running along the flashing halls, panic seeping into her body as she began to hyperventilate. She had heard the loud screams and banging, and she picked up the pace to get out of there and find Liv.
"Liv?! Anyone?! Please, help!" she pleaded as the halls went dark again. Her heart was literally pumping against her chest, and Karmi felt as if it would pop out of her chest. The red lights flashing in and out are not helping her case in any way, either.
Soon, she approached a door, and she sighed in relief, hoping that it would lead to the outside. However, as she about to reach for the handle, the door was flung open, and out stepped a middle-aged security guard holding a rifle. Karmi screamed and jumped back. The scream made the man turn to her and instinctively raise his rifle. Karmi immediately raised her hands.
"I'm not armed! I'm not armed!" she pleaded. The man took a good look at her, and through the red lights; he recognized Karmi as one of the interns. He sighed in relief as he sets his rifle.
"It's just you, Karmi. What are you doing here?!" he asked sternly. Karmi shook her head as she tried to come up with an explanation. "I…I w-was just finishing up my work and was on my way out of here. B-But I got lost! T-Then all of this started happening, and…please, help me sir! I've got to find Liv and get out of here! Please!" she pleaded, clasping her hands together in a pleading fashion.
The man looked at her and nodded. "Alright. Just stay close to me, and-"
WOOOOSHH!
CHWWAAAAH!
When the red lights flashed on again, Karmi could barely see something zooming in through the halls, before slamming into the security guard, flying back inside. Karmi did a double-take and screamed as she fell to the floor. She sat up and turned towards the open door, hearing inhuman screeches, followed by the man's screaming, which are accompanied by a sound of cracking and tearing.
Karmi hyperventilated as she stood up, dropping her purse in the process, and ran away from the audible slaughter.
Karmi then arrived at another intersection, looking all around, searching for a way out. She really didn't care where she would go; ANYWHERE from the monster would be enough for her.
GRAAAAAAHH!
Karmi turned back; the screeching monster became audible again, and it appears to be getting closer to her direction. Karmi, with a gulp, went to the right, hoping that it would be the right direction.
Her mind began to go haywire as she thought; "What the hell's going on?! W-What is that thing?! A-And why is it here?!" she would think.
Karmi instinctively turned her head back…and she screamed at seeing her pursuer.
Thanks to the red lights flashing, she could only see a large humanoid creature, just walking towards her. She could see large, bat wings folded up behind its back, with long, brunette hair covering up half of its face. Karmi couldn't see it well, but she could see stains coating the mouth and chest area.
She screamed as she faced forward and picked up speed. Tears were welling in her eyes, effectively blurring her vision. "I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" she thought as she continued running, the monster is only thirty feet behind her.
The hall went dark again, and Karmi had to wipe away the tears so she could see clearly. Suddenly, she bumped into something, causing her to fall back down onto the floor. Karmi shook her head as she clutched her nose and looked in front of her. She then looked to her left and right…there were only walls.
She took a wrong turn, and she hit a dead-end.
A foot stomped right behind her, and Karmi froze, her eyes widening in fear. She slowly turned around and looked up…and she was grabbed by the throat.
She was then lifted up and slammed onto the wall. Karmi clutched onto the arm and feebly clawed at it. Karmi began to gag, feeling the grip tightening, and no air cling into her lungs.
She then felt cold breath blowing onto her face. Karmi looked at her attacker, and even with the flashing lights, she could see the creature closer.
Its face was hideous. It was like a mix between a man and a bat. It has several rows of very sharp fangs, some of them with hanging pieces of…flesh. The breath also carried a strong smell of foul iron.
It was blood! Karmi, if it weren't for the fact that she was grabbed by the throat, would've retched at the horrible smell.
The creature leaned forward, it's bat-like nose taking in Karmi's scent. Karmi took a good, long look at the creature's eyes. Those bright green eyes with reptilian slits were looking back at her as if she were a piece of meat. Both of their eyes locked onto each other, not breaking contact.
Karmi then felt something leaking down from her nose. Her tongue involuntarily tasted a drop; it was blood. She must've hit her nose too hard, causing her nose to break.
The monster leaned in, took in a deep smell of the blood, and it closed its eyes. Karmi looked on, body shivering even more due to how close the monster's face was. Then, she felt something rough going up to her face. The creature was licking the blood away from her face, leaving trails above her left eye.
The creature and Karmi looked at one another again, and the creature's mouth began to open.
CHWAAAAAAA! GRAAAAAAA!
It screeched at her face, causing her to look away. Karmi screamed in response. It was the loudest she has ever screamed. Her own voice was unknown to her. Then, the monster leaned forward towards her neck. Karmi screamed even louder as tears streamed from her eyes as she was about to face a gruesome end…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Karmi felt the monster let go as the sound of gunshots rang through the hallways, and the monster screeched in agony as it was forced back. But she didn't open her eyes just yet. She heard the monster collapsing to the ground, followed by footsteps approaching her.
"Karmi, sweetie?" a familiar voice asked. Karmi recognized it, and she looked up…and she lunged herself at Liv. Liv didn't hesitate; she hugged the girl back. Karmi then began to cry on her, and Liv caressed her back.
"Shh…it's okay, Karmi. I'm here, now." she cooed softly. Karmi whimpered as she clutched onto her mentor, gritting her teeth.
Hissss…
Liv and Karmi froze as they heard the sound of something getting up from the floor. They turned their heads, to see the monster, slowly getting up. The bullet holes in its body healing up rapidly, pushing the bullets inside out. Liv and Karmi's eyes widened in horror as the monster looked down on them.
Then, it grabbed Liv's gun, and with utmost ease, pressed its hands together, squishing the gun, before it tossed the rifle aside. Liv and Karmi shouted at that, and they began to crawl back.
The monster growled at them, just as the red lights faded away. When the red lights came back on…it was gone.
Liv and Karmi gasped, frozen in place for a few moments. Liv then looked at Karmi and grasped her shoulders.
"Karmi, come on! Let's get out of here!" she instructed as she pulled Karmi up. Karmi looked at her and nodded. She didn't know where the creature was, but she didn't want to stick around and wait for it to come back.
The two sped down the halls, Liv leading ahead while taking Karmi by the hand. Karmi looked around, fearing wherever the creature might be, might strike at any time.
CHWAAR!
When the red lights came back again, there was the monster right behind them, left arm in an attempt to swat at them. Karmi and Liv screamed as they ran ahead, barely dodging the swipe. The monster roared back and began to run after them.
Liv and Karmi ran back to the intersection, and Liv took the opposite Karmi went to. Karmi looked back and saw that the monster was gaining on them, looking at them with a hungry look. She screamed and began to pick up speed once more.
Eventually, Liv and Karmi approached a set of stairs, and they began to run down. Just ahead of them, Chris and a team of containment members were rushing ahead. Liv pointed behind her. "It's behind us! Kill it!" she instructed as she and Karmi ran past the guards and Chris.
"Yes, ma'am!" they shouted back in response, as they climbed up the stairs. There, they ran into the monster, which froze in the spot at seeing so many people up the stairs. Chris narrowed his brows and gestured towards the monster.
"NOW!" he instructed as he ran towards the monster. The beast launched its hand out towards Chris, but Chris grabbed onto the beast's hand, and with momentum, swung upwards, landed on the beast's shoulders, and began to squeeze the creature's head. Some of the other guards began to shoot at the creature's wings, while others pulled out restraining clamps to keep the thing from hitting everyone else.
The monster was taken by surprise; the human on top of it was surprisingly strong, and many other humans were both shooting at it, and gripping onto its arms and legs to keep it still. It growled before it swung its left hand as hard as it could. The force swung the guard to fly forward RIGHT into gunfire. The other guards held their fire as they saw one of their own shot to death (though by accident).
This gave the monster enough time to grab Chris by the arm, and swing him downwards, slamming him onto the floor. Chris, however, managed to roll out of the way just as the foot stomped onto the floor, sending it through the pavement.
The monster then turned its head towards the other guards, who aimed their rifles at it. The monster growled, and with a surprising burst of speed, blurred to the guards. In one instant, half of the guards standing with rifles, have now dropped dead.
Chris and the remaining guards looked at the bodies with shock, most of them with massive claw marks, all of them with blood seeping. The monster looked at Chris, and seeing that he was distracted, grabbed him by the left arm. Chris flinched at this and tried to free his arm. But the monster was much stronger and with a sickening,
Crack!
Chris's left arm was bent outwardly, making him scream in agony. The monster looked at him, and then at the guards before it grew a devilish grin.
Further down, Liv and Karmi finally made it to the main office. There was the entrance, leading to the outside. Karmi and Liv smiled in victory.
"Finally; freedom!" Karmi cheered as she and Liv ran towards the entrance. They could hear the screams from upstairs, followed by screeches and thumps. The girls were concerned for the men, obviously, but the entrance to freedom was right there in front of them.
However, just as the two made it to the front, and were about to make it through the door, Karmi was suddenly yanked backward and was thrown further into the lobby, where she hits her back at the receptionist desk. Liv turned and gasped;
The monster has finally caught up with them!
Karmi groaned as she sat up, and she looked at the monster, who was looking at her with hunger in its eyes. She widened her eyes and lets out another scream. The monster screeched back in response before it got on all fours and ran towards her. Liv saw what was happening, and she frowned to herself; there was nothing she could do to say her intern (and friend) this time. Her rifle was destroyed, and she doesn't have a single weapon to save her.
"NOO!" she cried out, reaching out as the monster was only five feet away from a screaming Karmi.
Then, a familiar sound stopped the monster dead in its tracks. Karmi shivered and didn't open her eyes as the beast turned its head towards the front door. Liv followed its gaze…and in her mind, it felt as if God had answered her prayers.
There, outside, were several police cars, with SWAT vehicles storming into the Sycorax parking lot. The monsters narrowed its eyes and growled. It seems as if this city's law enforcement is here. And if they're anything like the security guards she had faced earlier…
The monster looked at Karmi again, and as the room, once more, grows dark again. Karmi and Liv heard a whooshing noise. The red lights fade in again, and again…the monster was gone…
Liv sighed in relief as she placed her hands on her hearts. She then heard sniffling and whimpering. She turned to see Karmi, who was shivering in fear, hands covering her face. Liv approached her, and she knelt down, looking at her with worry.
"Karmi?" she asked. Karmi didn't look at her. She just kept shivering, not wanting to uncover her face. "Karmi. It's okay. It's gone for now…the police are here. With the SWAT team, it seems…" Liv muttered, patting her in the back. Karmi, however, shook her head.
"I…I…" she muttered, but she couldn't find the words to express how she felt. That or she was too frightened to speak. But in her mind, she wasn't too sure. She didn't want to move her hands away until she felt that she was protected. But without them, she was vulnerable and weak.
Karmi then began to sob. She almost lost her life tonight. She could've died! She was so young, and she had a long life to live…and it was almost taken away from her in a second!
Liv was taken aback by her outburst, but she knew that she couldn't leave the girl like this. Even though she was not the comforting type, she held Karmi close to her body. She hugged her closely, trying her best to comfort her. But sadly…it didn't seem to work. Liv gulped to herself as she looked at her intern, just as the police stormed the building…
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Fred's helicopter landed on Fred's backyard. Most of the team soon got out, and they looked dejected. Hiro was especially affected by this. He looked at his right hand, and another tear slid down from his left eye.
Baymax's chip…the original chip, programmed by his older brother, Tadashi Hamada, was destroyed. Crushed and reduced into tiny pieces. Any chances of recovering any data are incredibly slim, if not impossible. Hiro sighed to himself as he then dropped the remains onto the ground before he walked off back to the mansion.
Gogo and the others looked at him, and they frowned in worry. Honey Lemon was the first to approach him, and she placed her hands on his shoulders. "I'm so sorry, Hiro." she cooed softly as she ran her hands against his shoulder. Hiro sighed to himself and shook his head.
"I…" he began, but he couldn't say anything else. The words got stuck to the back of his throat, leaving him unable to speak. Then, he shook his head. "I…I lost him…and we almost…" he said, as he moved his helmet out of the way, wiping away tears. Honey Lemon immediately hugged him, and Hiro leaned into her embrace.
"We know, Hiro…" she replied, just as the others followed after them, each of them giving their condolences to the poor boy. Hiro, grateful for the attention they are providing, cried once again, leaning into their embrace.
After a while, as the team continued hugging their friend, they could hear a helicopter flying above them. Neither of them paid any attention…for a moment. Then, several more helicopters flew by.
Hiro and Honey were the first to look up, and their brows raised in confusion. "Um…what's going on?" asked Hiro. Honey shook her head. "I don't know." she replied. Gogo and the others pulled back and followed their gaze.
"What's up, guys…are those SWAT helicopters?" asked Fred. The rest turned to look at him. "SWAT helicopters?" asked Hiro. Gogo took a closer glance, and from the sides, she could definitely see the letters spelling 'SWAT'. She raised a brow.
"Fred's right; these are SWAT copters…but what are they doing here? And why in such large numbers?" she asked. Wasabi shook his head. "No idea. Maybe our phones say something." he said as he fished out his phone. The others did the same, and before long they found another news article posted just moments ago, stating that Sycorax was under attack by an unidentifiable life form, which had just escaped the premises.
This got Fred excited. "Hoohoohooo! I knew it; aliens are real, baby!" he cheered, only to get punched in the shoulder by Wasabi. "Dude; now's not the time." he growled. But then they heard Honey Lemon say,
"Wait…could it be another one of those creatures that we saw back at that mansion?" she asked. The others (except Hiro, who was still looking at the phone), visibly paled. "Oh god…I hope not. I really don't have to deal with a living gargoyle or…whatever it was that destroyed Baymax." Gogo said. "That was a werewolf!" Fred confided.
While the others explained the possibility of another werewolf roaming the streets, Hiro was looking into the article, wondering what had happened. The article said that further details have yet to be developed, but so far, the only two survivors were Liv Amara…and Karmi.
Hiro's eyes widened involuntarily. "Shoot…Karmi was in there!" he said as he placed the phone back, and turned to his friends.
"Guys, we HAVE to get to Sycorax!" he said. The others looked at him with worry. "Why? The police are investigating the place. Plus, Honey Lemon has chem-purse destroyed, and Gogo…well, she lost her helmet." Wasabi said, pointing to the two girls, who nodded solemnly. Hiro, however, shook his head.
"Guys, Karmi and Liv Amara are the only survivors. We have to see if they're okay!" he explained. They saw the dedication and worry in his eyes. Fred approached him and patted him in the head.
"I see, Hiro; you're concerned about Karmi, aren't you?" he asked, cheekily. Hiro glared at him. "Fred…she's probably traumatized by what had happened. Now's NOT a good time to joke about something like THIS!" he scolded, borderline shouting. Fred stepped back, hands raised in a peaceful gesture. He nodded.
"Understood." he whimpered. Hiro then turned towards the copters and sighed through his nose.
"We should head back to our helicopter and head for the scene." he instructed. Heathcliff, however, approached him with a canister full of fuel. "I'm afraid the chopper will not be available for a while. It is out of fuel, Mister Hamada." he spoke in a monotone voice. Hiro groaned as he covered his head and shook his head.
Then, Wasabi spoke up. "I still have my car ready. The two of us can get over there and check on them." he suggested. Hiro nodded as he picked up the helmet and placed it back on. "Alright, that'll work. Come on. Let's get going." he said as he began to rush forward, with Wasabi following after him. Fred then raised his hands.
"W-What about us?" he asked. Hiro pointed to them. "You three stay here. Fred, entertain the girls, somehow." he instructed as the two of them rushed off. Fred, now left alone, looked at the two girls. He smiled.
"So uh…who wants to watch some Kaiju Kentucky VIII?" he asked. Honey sighed, though she kept a happy smile, while Gogo was visibly frustrated, sighing as she looked down, looking at the remains of the former Baymax chip.
Back at the entrance of Sycorax, policemen have already surrounded the place, with men inside investigating what had happened. Ambulance vehicles have arrived to take the injured, or the dead, away. Liv was talking to a group of news reporters of what had happened.
Karmi, meanwhile…well, she's not doing so well.
Having escaped from a near-death experience twice has done a number on her. She's currently sitting in one of the nearby benches next to a police car, covered up in a warm blanket, with hot chocolate offered by one of the officers. However, she was not in the mood for any hot coffee.
Right now, she's too overwhelmed that she had survived to even care…
As she stared into her hot chocolate, she could hear another car pulling up nearby. Karmi looked up, and as the car stopped, a door from the left side opened and out stepped Hiro. Karmi gasped to herself, and her blood-shot eyes lit up.
Captain Cutie was here!
Hiro looked around, wondering where Karmi. "Karmi?!" he shouted in a deeper voice, so as to hide his identity. He looked around and was alarmed for a moment upon not seeing Karmi.
However, that fear didn't last for long, as he felt a pair of arms immediately wrapped around his neck. Hiro was taken aback for a moment and froze before he then heard soft whimpering and crying next to him.
"Captain Cutie…you're here." he heard a familiar voice whimper out before it became sobbing. Hiro's heart sank. This is Karmi, and she sounded so…visibly distraught. Almost nothing like how she usually was whenever he's with her (either sarcastically when he is his normal self, or cheery and giddy whenever he is donning his armor). Instead, it was just…broken and small.
After a while, he hugged her back, holding her close. Karmi was happy to lean in the embrace, and she continued sobbing. Wasabi saw the interaction, and he approached Hiro, placing a hand on his shoulders. Hiro looked up.
"I'm going in to see what's going on. You can stay with her." he instructed. Hiro nodded as Wasabi walked off, leaving the two alone.
After a while of hugging, Karmi pulled back and she looked at him. Tears were once more streaming down from her face, her brown eyes still bloodshot. Hiro, wanting to know what happened, cleared his throat.
"Karmi…what happened?" he asked. Karmi closed her eyes and wiped away the tears, as she looked at him. "I…I…I don't understand what happened. F-For one moment, th-there was a bright purple light coming from Akuma Island, a-and the next, there was this big monster coming after me. I-I don't know what it was! It almost…It almost got me! It almost got me!" she explained, clutching her hands and pressing them against her head, sobbing to herself as she repeated the last phrase over and over again, as her mind began to repeat the instance at the hallway where she was almost torn to shreds, along with the screams of many personals working there.
Hiro looked at her in a panic. "Oh…if only Baymax was here!" he thought to himself as he pondered on what to do. However, he was not really the comforting type of person. Still, he couldn't leave Karmi to panic like this.
So, he grabbed her shoulders and shook her for a moment. "Karmi, calm down, NOW!" he ordered. Karmi didn't hear him; she was still repeating 'It almost got me' over and over. Hiro then covered her mouth roughly and shook her harder this time.
"Karmi! Calm down!" he ordered, his deep voice almost cracking and breaking his character. Karmi then froze at the force of his tone and grip. She then opened her eyes slowly and looked at Hiro.
"Karmi…calm down. Okay? Whatever that thing was; it's gone now. I'm here, now." he said, eyes glued to hers. Karmi looked at her, breathing still very shallow. Hiro then furrowed his brows.
"Karmi…I'm gonna let go of your mouth. When I do; I want you to take in several deep breaths. Got it?" he asked. Karmi, while hesitant, nodded. Hiro slowly moved his gloves out of the way. He then motioned his other hand up.
"Now, breathe in," he said, as he breathed in through his nose. Karmi mimicked his actions, though rather shakily. "Breathe out." he said as he exhaled through his mouth. Karmi did the same thing. Hiro nodded. "Good. Now, again; breath in. *inhales* and breathe out. *exhales*." he said. Karmi followed his instructions as she closed her eyes.
Soon, her mind began to clear up, and Karmi's nerves have loosened up. Hiro nodded in satisfaction. "Good job, Karmi. Great job." he congratulated, as he patted her in the back. Karmi nodded as she gave a weak smile.
"Now…do you want to head back to your bench? I'll stay there with you if you want." he suggested. Karmi nodded. "Y-Yes, please." she breathed out. Hiro nodded as he guided her back to the bench. The two of them sat down, looking at one another. Hiro then took her hand and squeezed it gently.
"Karmi…I'm really sorry we couldn't show up. We were so busy trying to track down whatever made that purple beam, that…" he began. Karmi then shook her head. "Don't be, Captain Cutie. You did what any hero would have done." she said, leaning into his shoulder. Any other time, Hiro would've tried to back away. But this time, he lets it slide for now.
Then, Karmi's eyes opened as she thought of something. "Captain Cutie…where's Red Panda, and the others?" she asked. Hiro felt his heart stop beating for a moment, as she was referring to Baymax and his other friends. He gulped as he took in another deep breath.
"Tall girl, Flame Jumper, and Speed Queen are fine. But…Red Panda is…" he said, his voice quivering in sorrow. Karmi raised her brows and widened her eyes in shock. Immediately, she hugged him in sympathy. "I'm so sorry, Captain Cutie. I'm so sorry…" she said. Hiro smiled at this and shook her head.
"It's okay. He fought bravely." he assured, even though a part of him knew it wasn't true. Baymax didn't go down fighting; he went down flying like a coward. Hiro gritted his teeth at remembering the werewolf tearing him apart with ease, but he shook that memory out of his head and turned to Karmi.
"Don't worry about it. Right now; you're a top priority," he said as the two of them looked at one another in the eye. Karmi, upon hearing this, felt her heart flutter. She smiled as he wiped away another tear strand.
Hiro then looked over at the building, seeing Wasabi rushing out, leaning forward towards a set of bushes…and vomiting. Hiro gritted his teeth in concern while Karmi…deepened her frown.
"I…I don't blame him for that." she said. Hiro looked at her, and Karmi continued talking. "When they told Liv how many bodies there are, and the conditions they were in…Oh my god…I could've been like those people…" she whimpered to herself, as her voice starts breaking. Hiro could tell that she was about to cry again, and he immediately hugged her again.
"Hey, hey…it's alright, Karmi. It's over, now. You and Liv are alive. That's all that matters." he comforted. Karmi shook her head.
"I can't. I c-can't let go of the fact that I could've died from that beast. I didn't get to say goodbye to my family…or even ap…apologize to…" she couldn't continue to speak anymore. Such horrifying thoughts plagued her mind, and she broke down sobbing again, leaning into Hiro's embrace.
Hiro held onto her still, not letting go until she calms down. A brief moment of curiosity aroused in his mind, wondering if Karmi was wishing to apologize to himself. However, he shook his head again, not wanting to think about such a selfish thought for a moment. All that mattered right now was Karmi. Hiro gently caressed the back of her head and rubbed her back simultaneously.
For a long while, the two teens remained in the embrace of one another, and during that time period…they are in a state of bliss. For Karmi; it is because she feels safe and protected in the arms of her number one hero. For Hiro; it was the acknowledgment that someone who he could relate to is still alive and healthy, and for now, there might be a chance of the two of them finally getting along after all.
The two of them smiled unconsciously as they hugged. Neither of them letting go, not even in the presence of another car's headlights are seen in the distance, approaching the building quickly…
Meanwhile, Akuma Island still remains abandoned after an unwelcome intrusion from Big Hero 6. For a moment, all is quiet.
That is until the giant monster became visible from the distance. It's monstrous wings flapped in the air as it carries some bodies with its hands and feet like an eagle.
The winged vampire then approached the mansion and flew straight into the hole where it came from, before landing on the solid floor below, dropping all of the bodies.
The vampire purred softly, as it felt its body begin to change. Its body grew shorter and less pale. The hands grew smaller and less muscular, and the wings folded further into the back. The ears, while still pointy, are not as pronounced as they once were. And the monster's teeth and rows of fangs retracted and contorted into normal human teeth.
The vampire has now changed back into a human, and the human is nothing short of BEAUTIFUL.
She is in mid-twenties and has ocean blue eyes with long brunette hair that goes almost down past her shoulder blades, a white skin (though a little paler than normal), and she is now frail as opposed to muscular. She is also very tall too; around 6'4''.
While the lady is beautiful, her clothes are the exact opposite. Her dark cape is dirty and filled with tears, as with the rest of her dress, which is reminiscent of a gown usually worn by aristocrats.
The woman sighed in relief after she was finished transforming back into a human. She looked around, and so far, she could see that her room was still intact, albeit very dusty. She then looked down at herself and frowned at her clothes. She unbuttoned her cape and tossed it aside.
"*sigh* I guess that is what all these centuries of being trapped would do to someone." she said to herself, in a HEAVY Romanian accent.
"Mistress Meela." a big voice said from behind her. The vampiress, Meela, smiled as she recognized the voice. She turned around, and she saw the massive gargoyle, looking at her with warm eyes as he bowed down to her. Meela smiled as she approached him and patted him in the forehead.
"Oh, Boian. It's so good to see you, my friend." she said as she rubbed its chin, to which the gargoyle, Boian, was happy to receive. She then looked around and noticed that another special someone was missing.
She cupped her lips with her left hand, and let out a low, haunting yet beautiful whistling sound. "Come to me, my pet." she said, her voice leaving an echo.
Eventually, they could hear stomping, along with clanging metal. This confused Meela for a moment, but it went away as her werewolf pet soon jumped back into the room, excited to meet its master.
Meela giggled as the werewolf stopped in front of her and bowed down to her as well, making her reach forward and strokes it in the nose, making the werewolf hum softly. Meela giggled as she played with the werewolf's snout before her eyes caught something metallic the werewolf is holding with its left hand.
It was the remains of Baymax.
She stops and looked at the scrap.
"What is that?" she asked. Boian looked at the metal and narrowed its eyes. "That is a piece of metal that several mortals have brought over when the curse wore off." he explained. Meela took Baymax's remains, and inspected it, just as Boian crawled over to the entrance, picked a couple of other things up, and crawled back towards them.
"They've also left behind these." he explained as he showed her Gogo's broken helmet and the remains of Honey Lemon's chem-purse. Meela looked at them with intrigue. "Hmm…interesting." she muttered to herself.
Her thoughts were interrupted, however, when she heard a groaning noise. Meela turned around to see one of the bodies still alive.
It was Chris, and he was severely wounded; all of his limbs were twisted, and he had several cuts and bruises all over his body. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak. Meela shrugged.
"Boian. Take that one to the dungeon; he's an interesting one." she ordered. Boian nodded as he dropped the remains, and grabbed Chris roughly, taking him towards the entrance. Meela then turned to the werewolf, and smiled, gesturing her head to the bodies. "The rest is yours. Bon-appetite." she cooed softly, rubbing the werewolf's snout. The werewolf simply growled back in kind, before it stomped towards the bodies.
Meela then looked at the remains of the metallic…contraptions. She examined them in detail, wondering how anyone could make something this convoluted and advanced. She then looked at Gogo's helmet and saw that there are several buttons. She pressed one of them, and she could see strange images in the glass. Meela was in awe at seeing such images, from maps, to even profile pictures of people she didn't even recognize.
Meela then grew an evil smirk, as her eyes turned green, once more with reptilian slits.
"Well then…I guess I have catching up to do…" she purred to herself, as two long fangs began to extend outwards…
AN: Hey, everyone. superkoola here!
So, another chapter down and out of the way! I really appreciate all the support you guys gave me in the reviews. And to one of you; The-Iron-Knight, I really appreciate you helping find a website to watch the second season of the show, which I finally got to watch. And I must say; I'M LOVIN' IT! (though, I would recommend getting a good adblock though, just in case of a virus infection (which I had the fortunate pleasure of NOT getting (the virus, I mean))).
Here's the name to a similar site where you can watch the show if you haven't, or you just couldn't for some reason: Watch Cartoons and Anime Online.
So; a few interesting things to say: The designs of these creatures, vampires, werewolves, the whole shebang, are based on the designs from the 2004 Hugh Jackman movie: Van Helsing.
Also…on the astronomically slim chance that Disney sees this and wants to make a film out of it; which horror director would be the best options? MY options are either Andrés Muschietti (the man who is directing the Stephen King's IT remakes) and JA Bayona (the man who directed the Orphanage and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom). Just a random question.
Anyways, rambling aside; Hope you enjoy this, please be respectful to those who think differently, and stick around for more next time!
