Chapter 4 "Buzz Kill"
A/N: Sorry it took so long for the last update! I have been so busy but I'm back and I'm ready to satisfy my readers. I hope you enjoy this next chapter. I should be updating once every week or earlier. Thanks for the long wait, faithful friends.
Love. Hiro pondered on that word. Love makes all sorts of things: people, harmony, and so on. But to make a wish come true, what was this? A fairy tale? It would take more than a wish to get Fred and Honey Lemon together. Tadashi, what would you do? How would you ask a girl out-no Honey Lemon out. Hiro noticed that when Tadashi was around, he didn't really socialize with many women, he supposed it was always because of the work he did. All work and no play, typical Tadashi.
"So we all know the plan?" Wasabi inquired.
Hiro nodded, "Yes for the sixth time."
"I think you should run it by me again. Just for safety measures." Fred said, picking his ear with his pinkie. "I mean-I just want to make sure that everything is perfect."
"It will be if you stick to the plan!" Wasabi warned.
Hiro felt intimidated by a plan that was made spontaneously by he and Wasabi. They had just made it ten minutes prior to meeting Fred at the University. When Fred and Wasabi arrived in the lab, Hiro was complete stunned. Fred wore a nice pair of jeans and a yellow shirt with a fancy red vest. An immaculate outfit fit for their plan. He was odorless which was a good way to approach Honey romantically. No girl likes a guy who smells like cheese pizza and gym socks.
The plan was for Fred to dance his way towards Honey and ask her out at the end of his performance. Hiro would lure Honey Lemon to the Grand Gym and Wasabi would handle the lights. Hiro thought the place would be perfect. There was plenty of room and the polished basket ball court would be perfect for Fred's signature moves. The lights were easy to maneuver as well for Wasabi.
"Fred you have to stand at the end of the gym, in the shadows. Its a surprise." Wasabi commanded over the speaker.
"Gotcha! Oh man this is gonna be so righteous!" Fred said adamantly. "We're gonna wow, Honey!"
Hiro walked toward the door, ready to leave for Honey. He hoped the plan would work, it simply had to or Fred would be heartbroken.
"Are we ready?" Fred inquired, his voice echoing through the gym.
Hiro nodded, opening the door, "Let's do th-ahh!" He gasped. Gogo was patiently waiting outside the door, chewing fiercely on her gum. Stunned, Hiro waved at her politely, unsure what to say.
"What's this? Why are you and Fred in the gym?" She inquired quickly.
Hiro knew he only had a few seconds to answer and knew he had no choice to tell the truth. If he didn't tell, Gogo would tear them to shreds until he did. And he didn't need another noogie.
"We're trying to help Fred ask Honey Lemon out." Hiro blurted, shutting the door behind him so the others wouldn't hear.
Gogo paused and blew a large purple bubble gum before popping it with her teeth. Hiro smiled nervously, unable to respond. It felt like forever when Gogo was contemplating. She grinned from ear to ear before laughing her heart out.
"Honey Lemon!? He likes Honey Lemon! Why?" She bellowed.
Hiro, confused, answered, "She's a nice girl, I guess?"
"Oh God! What are you guys thinking?" Gogo continued to laugh. "I need to see this."
"I-Its pretty serious, Go! We're working hard to make sure he gets a date with her." Hiro frowned.
Gogo saw the disappointment in his face and breathed deeply. She regained control and slowed her laughter. She didn't want Hiro to be upset, he could tell. She cleared her throat and leaned against the wall-trying to keep her cool image.
"Go get her then." Gogo encouraged.
Hiro nodded, hurrying up the hallway. He couldn't comprehend why Gogo laughed, he thought it would work with a little help. Though it was last minute, it was a great idea. Hiro was a little guilty about it being last minute because of his illusion of Tadashi. But he and Wasabi worked hard to get this moment to happen. For Gogo to laugh, dampened his confidence in their plan but he would continue it: for Fred.
After a few minutes, Hiro arrived at the Lab where Honey was organizing her bekers for a quick experiment. Hiro anxiously strolled over to her desk and cleared his throat, grabbing her attention. She smiled at him and waved.
"What brings you here, Hiro? Up for a quick experiment or are you picking something up?" She inquired thoughtfully. He never noticed but her voice was lilting, may be that's another reason why Fred liked her. Because her voice was soothing.
"I actually do need to pick up something. I need a...first aid-kit. Fred was showing me a new stunt and he's hurt!" He frowned. "Mind helping?"
She quickly passed her bekers in a case and opened one of her cabinets to grab the kit. Hiro ran over to the door to open, unsure if he should have lied about something so serious? She hurried out the door with a large yellow aid kit and he followed behind her. She seemed a little too worried, maybe he'd lie about something less threatening next time.
"What happened?" Honey asked. "Did he break anything?"
"I'm not sure, I ran out to get help. We should get there fast."
Once they arrived, Gogo was nowhere to be seen. Hiro opened the doors to the dark gym and Honey walked in as well. She called out for Fred Several times and Hiro hurried to the bleachers. When she called for Fred once more, a large spot light shined on her.
"W-what the..?" She looked around.
Several more lights flickered on and at the end of the hall Fred stood there, under a large pink light.
"Fred?" Honey said. "You look fine!"
"Not as fine as you." Fred said curtly before stepping forward. The music began to play and Fred started to groove with it. Their plan was set in motion.
Hiro couldn't help but laugh a little, he couldn't believe this was happening. Honey, confused and stunned, smiled curtly. As he eased his way closer to her, Hiro felt a tap on the shoulder. He turned quickly to see Gogo and he smiled at her. But she didn't return the smile and showed an image of a news report. It was titled "Security Breach at the Wind Manufacturing Business." Hiro quickly took action, pulling his phone out his pocket and sending a message for everyone to hurry and become Big Hero Six.
Fred paused as Honey pulled out her cell. The music stopped and he frowned.
"Sorry I got a text-" Honey said.
Hiro shouted, "Let's go guys! There's trouble!"
Fred cried, "Couldn't we have waited a few more seconds?"
The team landed at the top of the manufacturing building. Gogo slipped over to an opened vent and peered inside of it.
"What do you see?" Hiro inquired.
"I don't know there are a few bright lights, like flashlights or something. Give me a second." Gogo replied.
Wasabi inquired, "Who would try and rob fan company? What are they...hot?"
"They might want to upgrade the fans into weapons!" Fred blurted.
Hiro shushed them, "Guys remain quiet."
Gogo signaled them to get close as she opened the vent a little. The tengu-masked man was being accompanied by a sci-fi masked man. The two were situated in the upper corner of the large factory room next to the computers. While Tengu sat on the edge of the staircase that led to the computers, the sci-fi looking man typed furiously on the computers. He wore a large pair of sunglasses with a mask connected to it, covering his face and a trench coat. Tengu man had new, longer swords that was bright yellow.
"Talk about upgrades." Honey said softly.
"Whatever they're doing isn't good." Hiro said, closing his helmet.
Wasabi inquired, "What's the plan?"
"Gogo and I will stop the guy at the computers. You guys distract Tengu Mask." Hiro commanded. "Objections?"
Everyone shook their head and continued the plan. Fred, Honey, and Wasabi scaled the side of the red bricked factory. Once they reached a window, Honey Lemon placed three yellow gelatin onto the glass and within seconds it exploded. The large explosion boom drew the attention of the Tengu man toward them. He rushed to the window and Wasabi leapt in, aiming for a hit. As soon as his sword met the Tengu's, he expected it to slice right through. But the clashed with a clink! Surprised, Wasabi stepped back for Honey to throw a few more jelly at him but Tengu ducked and dodged quickly away.
Gogo dropped from the vent and hurried over to the wall. Hiro followed close behind with his magnet gloves, swinging across the ceiling lick monkey-bars. Although Baymax was delayed due to his size and had to release air, Gogo and Hiro could handle the Sci-fi man on their own. Gogo quickly threw one of her electric discs at the computers but it bounced back at them. Hiro ducked and looked at her, concerned.
"I forgot he had shields!" Hiro blurted.
The man stood and slipped a flash drive from the computer into his pocket. He looked at Hiro and Gogo. And Gogo sped towards him, her discs in hand.
"Let's find a way to break it!"
As soon as Gogo got a few feet close to the man, she was stopped abruptly by Honey Lemon. Tengu had thrown Honey across the room and at Gogo. The two girls groaned in pain when they were on the ground. Hiro rubbed his forehead, trying to think. If the force field repelled the electric disc, it had to be magnetic. So if two magnets were together, it would temporarily stop the field. He removed his gloves and sprinted toward the Sci-fi man.
"Hiro, be careful!" Honey cried.
Fred turned quickly to make sure Hiro wouldn't hurt himself as the Tengu man leapt at him. Wasabi blocked the attack and kicked Tengu Man's knee harshly! He groaned and gripped his knees. Once Hiro reached a few feet, he threw the gloves at the field which ruptured the shield.
"Yes!"
Surprised, the Sci-fi man leapt from the steps and toward the door. Baymax landed on the ground, ready to fight. Hiro, proudly pointed to the man for his companion to look at.
"Baymax, stop him!"
The robot's eyes glowed a dark red and his rocket arms blasted in front of the man, shattering the walls. The man quickly stepped back and looked at the team.
"C'mon Baymax, let's capture hi-"
"No you don't." Said a loud booming voice.
The Tengu Man, had Wasabi captured. His razor sharp swords were right against his brown skin. He had terror in his face.
"W-Wasabi!" Honey said worriedly.
"Let my partner go or watch your friend's decapitation." Tengu warned. "I don't have long."
"Hiro, what shall I do?" Baymax inquired.
Hiro frowned, "Let him go, Baymax…"
The man hurried over to his partner; however, Tengu didn't budge.
"What are you doing?" Gogo asked angrily.
"You said you'd let him go!" Hiro said.
Tengu replied, "You're fools to think that, I'm making sure you won't be in our way again!"
"Oh my God!" Wasabi cried.
"Stop this." The Sci-fi guy said, pulling on Tengu's arm. "You said you'd let him go, keep your word!"
"What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you keep defending these guys, Tech?" Tengu said refusing to let go.
The two began to fuss at each other as Sci-fi tugged on his arms and Wasabi cried and whimpered, hoping his neck wouldn't get sliced in the process. Tech finally yanked Tengu's arm off, freeing Wasabi. But Tengu furiously punched Tech in the stomach.
"You fool!" He growled.
"O-ow…" Cried Tech, holding his stomach.
Baymax beeped and started walking toward the villians.
"Baymax?" Hiro said. "What are you doing?"
"Tadashi, on a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?"
The team grew quiet, stunned, and froze in their place. Did Baymax just call that man, Tadashi? As in Hiro's brother, Tadashi Hamada?
"Quick, let's escape before things get worse." Tengu said, lifting Tech onto his shoulder.
Hiro, quickly lunged forward, grabbing Tech's mask. Tengu turned and shoved Hiro back. He mad a quick escape, running toward a large stack of crates the led toward the window.
"Stop them!" Cried Hiro.
Honey Lemon tossed a few gelatins at them but no one else moved. They were too stunned. Baymax refused to attack, fearing he may hurt Tadashi. Once he made his way to the window, everyone was able to see his face in the street light: Tadashi's face.
"Tadashi! Tadashi!" Everyone cried.
Hiro called, "Tadashi is that you? Why are you doing this, you're my brother!?"
Tengu mask escaped, leaving Hiro and his team in the factory. Leaving his little brother behind again, stunned and broken.
