BIG HERO 6: Tadashi is Here.
Chapter Six: Still Here.
Hiro's Garage.
Hiro didn't know that Tadashi hitched along, but was too angry to know. Tadashi silently walked behind him, and hid outside the Garage, as Hiro stomped in and toward his desk. Hiro got up the step chair and pulled off Baymax's helmet, and immediately started to fix it.
Baymax looked him up and down, scanning him as he worked quickly and furiously.
"Your blood pressure is elevated." he told him, "You appear to be distressed."
"I'm fine." he pulled the cord connecting the helmet to the computer and slammed it on his head. "There! Is it working?"
Baymax scanned around to test it. "My sensor is operational."
Hiro nodded, not noticing the figure coming towards him. "Good. Then let's get-" he made to get his healthcare chip again.
But a hand grabbed his hand before it could even touch the port.
Hiro looked startled when he saw his brother, looking at him sternly.
"Tadashi?" he questioned, before getting his head back in his game, "T-Tadashi, let go."
"Your going to remove his Healthcare chip, aren't you?" Hiro was a bit surprised. Tadashi sounded mad. But he hardly ever got mad, and if he did, he never seen him mad. Only he did something really, really stupid.
"Yes. Now let go!" he struggled against his grip, but Tadashi was stronger.
"Hiro, what were you thinking back there?!" he threw him off, and away from the healthcare robot, shocking the younger Hamada even more. Tadashi seemed really mad, and just about nearly threw him across the room. "You took out Baymax's Healthcare chip, and turned him into a killing machine! The exact opposite of what I made him for!"
Hiro glared at him, some of his fire coming back. "Tadashi, you could've died in there! And for nothing! And you expected me to just let that slide?!"
Tadashi's expression didn't change, "I don't know, maybe! It would be better then my little brother turning himself and my robot into murderers!"
"Don't you dare make me out as the bad guy! I'm not the one who started the fire! He did! I'm not the one that got you crippled! He did! I'm not the one that got you into depression and self guilt about saving the exact same man that could've killed you in that fire! Callaghan did! It's all CALLAGHAN'S FAULT!"
But Tadashi had froze during his outburst. Hiro was doing all this, the super suits, the upgrading, the gear, the legs, all because he wanted to get payback for what he did to him. Tadashi should feel touched, but for some reason, he wasn't. In fact, he was even more cross at him.
Hiro seemed to notice that, and took a cautious step back, as Baymax watched patiently.
"Is that what this is all about, Hiro?" he asked softly, but it only made him seem even more deadly, and it sent chills up his spine. "This whole thing is about you getting back at Yokai for what he did to me?!" he yelled, and Hiro could piratically see steam sprout from his ears. But he didn't understand why he was so angry.
"Well, yeah! Duh! Your my brother! Why wouldn't this be about you?! What? Did you think it was because my Microbots were stolen or that maybe it was for Callaghan? Well, news flash, big bro! It wasn't! Tadashi, the accident changed you, and for the worst. You never talked, never ate, you never even smile, which I thought was a scientific impossibility, by the way! Heck, I even missed you hitting me on the head for doing something stupid, before calling me a bonehead!"
Tadashi looked away, Hiro's speech getting to him, "I'm not worth it..." he mumbled, but Hiro heard and couldn't believe he said that.
"WHAT!? Of course your worth it! Your my brother! Why wouldn't you be worth it?!"
"Hiro, stop!"
"No!" Hiro's voice grew deeper as anger seeped in, and Tadashi tried to control his breathing. "Tell me! Tell me why you agreed to go along with everything if you didn't think you weren't worth it! TELL ME NOW!" He snapped.
"CAUSE THE TADASHI YOU KNOW IS GONE, HIRO!" Tadashi yelled, slamming his fist onto the desk, making it's contents jump, and Hiro jump back as well, a look of fear on his face.
He was scared.
Of his own big brother.
Tadashi saw this and just crumbled, falling down, and hitting the ground, back pressed against a file draw. He felt tears come to his eyes. He made his own brother afraid of him. He pulled his legs towards him and curled up, and started to cry.
"The Tadashi you know is... gone." he choked out, as Hiro stared at him sadly.
"Tadashi is here." Tadashi sighed at Baymax's voice.
"Baymax, just stop." he swallowed thickly, trying to dry his tears, as Baymax repeated.
"Tadashi is here."
A moment of silence ensued in the Garage, as Hiro looked at his broken brother sadly.
"This is Tadashi Hamada." the two Hamada's heads shot up at the sound of the elder's voice, and saw that Baymax's chest armor was glowing. Hiro approached, and pulled the armor off, to reveal a video Tadashi, holding a director's board. The two brother's got up and watched.
"And this is the first test of my robotics project." smiled as he pressed something behind the camera and waited.
"Hello. I am Bayma-" 's greeting was cut off by a very loud screeching, causing to cover his ears.
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" the screen freezes as turned off. Tadashi remembered this. This was when he first built Baymax. There were some scratches on Baymax's voice disk, so he got it replace.
The screen turned on again, to show again, holding the same board, but the Test Number was now seven.
"The seventh test of my robotics project." he activated him, and Baymax began to say his greeting, but then the arms started moving on their own, and one even began flying around the room while the other just smacked him across the face. Tadashi remembered that too. He probably would have shown Hiro Baymax early, hadn't some fellow student bullies hadn't pulled a prank on him for defending Fred. They planted some sort of worm in Baymax's arms while SFIT was empty. Tadashi found out, and those kids got suspended.
The screen changed again, to show a very tired looking Tadashi, holding the board, which said 33.
"Tadashi Hamada again. And this is the thirty-third test of my robotics project." then the lights sparked, and it went dark. had used all the power generators he could find, as those same bullies also sapped his generator's entire energy supply. The entire school went into a black out. The screen showed Tadashi now holding a small flashlight at and shined it in his eyes for signs of life, before sighing, then smiling.
"I'm not giving up on you. You don't understand this yet, but people need you. Now, let's get back to work." as the screen froze again, both Hiro and Tadashi were having some thoughts on their actions and words. Hiro began to think maybe he shouldn't have done what he did. Besides, it wouldn't have changed anything. Tadashi would've still been a cripple if it weren't for him. And Tadashi was starting to think about all of those other bullies that picked on him and his friends, and telling him to give up on his big robotics project.
But he didn't.
Because if he did, then that wouldn't be Tadashi.
The screen flicked on again, to show Tadashi, who looked like he had been up all night, rubbing his eyes as he held the director's board near his head.
"This is Tadashi Hamada and this is the eighty-fourth... test..." he rubbed the back of his neck, before looking up at Baymax, giving an unsure smile. What do you say, big guy?" he activated him, but this time, got a different response then before.
"Hello. I am Baymax. Your personal Healthcare Companion." finally said his full greeting, as seemed to come to what he just said.
"It works... IT WORKS!" he started pacing around the room, a happy smile on his face, "Oh, this is amazing! You-you work!" he even ran up and gave Baymax a kissed, making Tadashi chuckle with a little embarrassment, Hiro smiled, a small tear leaking out of his eye.
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it~~!" they were both laughing now, as Tadashi wrapped his arm around him, and Hiro lend against him, not minding at all. "Oh, you work! I can't believe it! I can't..." did a little dance, before taking a deep breath.
"Okay. Alright, big moment here. Scan me." he held his arms out, as scanned him.
"Your neurotransmitter levels are elevated. This indicates that you are happy."
"I am! I really am! Oh, man! Wait 'til my brother sees you." Tadashi pulled Hiro closer, "Your gonna help so many people, buddy. So many. That's all for now. I am satisfied with my care." the screen froze on Tadashi's frozen, smiling face, and Hiro let out a happy sniffle as it faded to white. Tadashi looked at his robot.
"Thank you Baymax." Baymax blinked, before Tadashi turned to his baby brother.
"I'm so sorry, Hiro. I was afraid that I changed so much, I couldn't be the brother you needed me to be, so I just... gave up." he looked sad again, before looking at him with the same fire in his eyes as he had before everything happened. "But I promise to do better." Hiro smiled, before looking sorry himself.
"I'm sorry to, big bro. I was just... so mad, and you haven't exactly been yourself lately." Tadashi looked down, but then Hiro smiled. "It's good to know that your still you." they smiled, and hugged.
"Guys." they looked towards the Garage entrance, to see the team, all looking at them with concerned looks. Hiro pulled away from his brother and made his way over, not sure how to explain his actions.
"Guys, I... I." GoGo cut him off by pulling him into a much needed hug, and he sighed.
"We're going to catch Callaghan. And this time, we'll do it right." Hiro smiled, as did Tadashi, and the team. Then Wasabi smirked.
"Eh, but maybe don't leave your team stranded on a spooky island next time?" he suggested hopefully, and Hiro facepalmed.
"Oh, man!" he groaned, as Tadashi chuckled.
"Nah, it's cool." Fred shrugged it off, "Heathcliff picked us up in the family chopper." he smiled at the boy, before Honey began to look serious.
"Hiro, we found something you should see." she told him, holding out a USB.
A moment later, they have installed Honey's USB into Hiro's computer, to find more videos on Project Silent Sparrow.
Everyone in the video was looking very distraught about the whole thing. The General turned to Krei angrily.
"You almost got us all killed!" he exclaimed, before another, familiar, angry voice called out.
"Krei! You did this! You knew it wasn't ready!" Hiro froze the screen, watching as an angry Callaghan tried to break away from General and his men to get to Krei.
"Callaghan? He was there?!"
"He was such a good man." the others could agree. Though they didn't know him as well as Tadashi did, they still knew that he was a kind man. "What happened?" Hiro rubbed his face in confusing.
"I don't know. But the answer's here somewhere." he started rewinding to the beginning, before Honey stopped him, pointing to something very interesting.
"There he is." "With the pilot?" Hiro inquired as they all watched the Professor and the pilot, Abigail, hugged each other. Hiro frowned, before frowning even more when Tadashi took over the keys. "Tadashi?"
"I think I remember seeing something around..." he fast forward, until he froze it to where Abigail was about to seat herself in the pod. He then zoomed in on her helmet, and right there, clear as day was one word.
Callaghan.
"The pilot was Callaghan's daughter!" "And Callaghan blames Krei for her death."
"This is a revenge story." Fred told them, eyes wide, as he knew the consequences of revenge. It was a dark and twisted thing that could warp the mind into something else. Something cold. It almost got Hiro as well.
Hiro grew determent, as he grabbed his helmet off the desk.
"So what are we waiting for?"
