Tadashi was sitting on the floor crying. He pulled his helmet off and chucked it away. "Hiro, Hiro, Hiro! How could this happen? I should have known! How could I not know my brother was still alive? There wasn't a body!"
He pounded the floor in anger over and over. He screamed out loud and cried even harder. "I wanted my brother to stop hanging out with criminals, now he is one. How do I explain this to Aunt Cass? That her other nephew is still alive only he's now a lackey to a robotics professor turn maniac criminal!"
Honey Lemon reached to assure Tadashi, only for him to slap her hand away. She looked at her friends anxiously. What did they do know? They all shrugged their shoulders slightly, unsure of what to do next.
Baymax assessed the situation. Being active all this time, he had come to understand emotions, friendship, and most important of all, family bonds. He was more than just a healthcare companion now. He was his own robotic person who could make his own choices. Right now, he was choosing to help his friend.
He walked over and leaned down embracing Tadashi in a strong hug. His creator struggled to break free, but Baymax just held on tighter. Eventually, Tadashi returned the embrace and his tears slowly stopped coming down his face.
"On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your emotional pain?"
"I think I'm off the scale right now. I'm a combination of different emotions. I'm happy that Hiro's alive, but also sad and angry about what's happened to him. At the same time, I have so many fears and am disgusted by what Callaghan's done to him," Tadashi admitted.
"In emotional situations such as this, it is normal to feel all five basic emotions. Combining them together is a way for you to identify what you truly feel. Your physiological and behavioral responses are normal."
Letting Tadashi go Baymax continued to comfort Tadashi. "You told me before you feel guilty when you thought you were responsible for Hiro's "death". That you wished it hadn't happened.
You also told me you were doing this to get justice for Hiro. None of that has changed now that you know he is alive. Hiro still needs you Tadashi. To save him from dying without proper healthcare. You also need to bring Callaghan in so he can be sentenced for what he has done."
Tadashi nodded but asked how he was supposed to that when his brother couldn't even register he was there.
"Are you forgetting about us?" Fred asked. He held a hand out to his friend. "Right now, I know you are feeling guilty and blame yourself for this. Tadashi, you're not the one at fault here. Callaghan's the one who decided to be a supervillain and turn your brother into a cyborg."
Tadashi took Fred's hand and stood up, but still looked at the floor in guilt. His emotions were still swarming inside. Right now he was really angry at himself for not doing more to rescue his brother while also feeling sad about his brother becoming a criminal.
He felt his face being cupped and he was not looking up at Wasabi. The big man had a calm face, but his eyes reflected how stern he was. "I can't even begin to comprehend what you're feeling right now. None of us saw this coming. How could we when Callaghan was so good at hiding his true nature?
You need to let go of your guilt right now Tadashi. If you don't, then you can't help Hiro. You're angry about the violation of his body. Also, you think he's a criminal now. Hiro is not a criminal. Whatever actions he took, were to keep himself alive. Not just for his sake, but for you and Aunt Cass."
Go-Go rolled up next to her team leader and smiled kindly at him. It wasn't often that Go-Go showed her softer side to her friends which meant this was important. "Tadashi, I don't know what you should tell your aunt or even if we'll be able to save Hiro. What I do know is, you are the best big brother Hiro could ever have. You need him as much as Hiro needs you. So suck it up and be the big brother you are."
Honey Lemon removed her own helmet and kissed Tadashi on his cheek. The boy blushed as Honey Lemon gave him a fond look. "You're not alone Tadashi. We're friends and you're like family to us. Let us help you. Let's save Hiro."
Tadashi nodded as he walked over and put his helmet back on. "Baymax, take us back to our garage. If there's any weakness with the microbots or the neural transmitter, it will be on Hiro's computer."
Baymax eagerly spread out his wings. The team climbed on and left Akuma Island. If they were to stop Callaghan's crazy plan then they needed to use what little time they had to come up with a good plan.
Upon arriving back at his house, Tadashi was glad to see his aunt wasn't home right now. Seeing that her car was gone meant she was most likely running errands.
In the garage, Tadashi brought up the files on the neural transmitter and the microbots. He blew both up and had the diagrams of the microbots displayed on the two smaller side screens with the neural transmitter was on the main screen in the center.
Go-Go carefully looked over the design with Baymax. They needed to understand how the neural transmitter sent bio electrical signals to the robots and made them do what someone thought.
"Hiro based the design of the neural transmitter on modern neural implants that you use a brain-computer interface. The transmitter reads the brains electrical activity, then sends it wirelessly to the tiny sensors in the microbots, which turn the electric activity into binary numbers, telling the microbots what to do," she explained to her friends.
Baymax studied the coating on the transmitter. Hiro had designed his own soft gel needed to conduct the bio electrical impulses through the tiny electrodes. These electrodes even amplified the signal so the response time between the transmitters to the microbots was done in milliseconds.
Baymax explained this to the group and it was Fred who asked if there was a way to stop the transmitter from sending out a signal. Maybe even jam it so Callaghan couldn't control Hiro.
Honey Lemon shook her head. "The neural transmitter sends out signals based on electrical impulses in the brain. The brain is always active so there's no way to turn the transmitter off." She then pointed out the difficulty of jamming the signal. "Callaghan is seeking revenge on Krei. Wherever he is there would certainly be material that will block the signal or jam it."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Fred pestered as he wanted an answer to his question.
"It would if we knew the frequency that Callaghan is using to control Hiro, or, his frequency to control the microbots. As it is, with our time limit and available resources, we can only jam one at a time."
"Since Callaghan and Hiro are always on the move, any material that could block a signal won't be an issue for them," Fred said finishing her explanation. It went unsaid that even if they got Callaghan's neural transmitter and destroyed it, he could leave another order in Hiro's brain.
"What if we got Hiro out of range? Callaghan stated he needed Hiro to be in range for him to manipulate. The microbots would stop working right?" Wasabi asked.
It was possible, but they couldn't know for sure. The transmitter sensors amplified the signal. How far would Hiro have to be out of range? Even if they did, Callaghan could disappear and come back anytime he wanted Hiro.
"We have to remember something else. We can destroy Callaghan's neural transmitter. It is highly likely if he does escape jail and wants to get revenge on us that we need to destroy any data on the neural transmitter," Go-Go pointed out.
The others looked uncomfortable with that idea. What if the data on the neural transmitter was needed to help Hiro recover? If they erased this and destroyed Callaghan's flash drives, then the doctors wouldn't know what to do.
Go-Go sighed and leaned against the garage door. She frowned unhappily but knew she had to make a point. "As long as that data exists anyone can control Hiro. Can you envision him waking up from his coma and having no control over his body or his actions? Right now, he's a fundamentally a prisoner.
We need to think what's best for Hiro and not what he would want for his invention. Completely eradicating the data is the only way to keep Hiro safe. I'm sure the kid designed his tech in a way no one could replicate."
Tadashi clenched his fists then let out a deep breath. Go-Go was right about this. No matter how amazing this technology was, it would destroy Tadashi's heart if he rescued his little brother only to find him a puppet again. "So we can't do anything about the transmitters. What about the microbots? Any weakness we can use?"
"Tadashi if I may, I have formulated a solution to this problem. The strength of the microbots is also their weakness." Baymax's stomach lit up as he showed a comparison between bacteria and the microbots.
"One bacteria is not a threat, just as one microbot is not dangerous. They become dangerous when more of then join together. To reduce bacterial infections antibiotics are used to thin their numbers so the body can fight them off. We could do the same thing with the microbots."
Tadashi's eyes lit up with joy. He couldn't believe he hadn't thought of it first. "The problem isn't the transmitters, it's the microbots themselves. Callaghan mass produced them in order to carry out his plan."
"If we destroy most of or all the microbots, Hiro won't be able to create what Callaghan wants. Even if he leaves an order in Hiro's head!"
"Freddie's right. No microbots means we have a clear shot at getting the second neural transmitter. Once it's destroyed no one can control Dashi's brother."
Wasabi got a panic look on his face. "What if that happens while Hiro's in the sky or next to something dangerous? The second we break the transmitter, he'll immediately flop over because of his coma."
"One of us will keep Hiro safe. Once Callaghan's in custody, Hiro can be rushed to the hospital for the doctors to care for him. The doctors will recognize him and call Tadashi and his aunt telling them Hiro's alive. You and your aunt will rush to the hospital. While that's going on the rest of us could clear out the professor's lairs to prevent another disaster like this. "
"It's a good plan. Callaghan's revenge ends today. Big Hero 6 will make sure of it." The others grinned at their new team name.
At the new Krei Tech Headquarters, Krei was giving a speech about how he formed his company and the steps he took to ensure the technology his company was useful and safe. Any setbacks the company had they quickly overcame.
In the shadows, Callaghan growled upon hearing this. How dare he proclaim his technology was safe! Was his daughter just a setback? This man was the cause of all his pain. He wouldn't have needed to steal and enslave Hiro if Krei had been held accountable for his actions.
He tightened his hands and looked to his side. Hiro stood next to him. His visor was up and he gaped at the building emptily. If someone listened closely they could hear the servos throughout his body stocking working to keep him erect.
"Listen closely, Hiro on what I need you to do." It wasn't necessary for him to speak to the comatose boy to issue his commands. It was just a habit from his old teaching job.
The servos tilted the boy's head so he appeared to be looking up at his master. The neural transmitter on his head sparked slightly as his brain registered someone was talking to him.
"I need you to create a barrier around Krei and his building, cutting off any access for help. Make sure the microbots transport me swiftly wherever I go.
Once I have Krei in my hands, bring the portal out and turn it on. Make sure you don't get sucked into the portal yourself. If your brother and his friends show up, put an end to them.
Lastly, if I give you any orders, verbally or telepathically, you carry them out without any resistance and don't stop until the objective is completed."
Hiro nodded and turned his head back towards the building. He raised his hands up and spread them apart. The microbots responded in time with his movements. They got taller and taller as they surrounded the building.
In the courtyard, everyone assembled started to panic upon seeing a sea of black robots swarmed the building. Many were frozen in fear, including Krei himself.
The sea of microbots flooded the courtyard. They scooped everyone except Krei, and carried them away before dropping them brusquely into a parking garage. The microbots retreated and formed a sphere around the building, ensuring no one could enter or exit, whether it be by sky or underground.
Krei let out a surprised yelp as the piece of sidewalk he was on rose into the air. The microbots created manacles around his arms and legs before anchoring themselves into the sidewalk. The man couldn't move at all.
Out of the opening at the top of the dome, a spiraling staircase formed. He witnessed a man with a kabuki mask covering his face descend down the staircase. When he stepped off the last step, the microbots formed moving platforms. He came to a stop in front of Krei.
"Whoever you are, I can pay you a lot of money if you let me go," Krei pleaded. The man in the mask body language changed for angry to intense rage. It happened so fast Krei didn't realize he was punched in the jaw until he felt the broken teeth against the inside of his cheek.
"Money? You think money can fix anything, don't you? That as long as you wave it around nobody will touch you. If you bribe someone, then they won't mention rushed production or safety procedures. They wouldn't even voice their concerns about the nature of the project because if they can't be bribed, then you fire and blacklist them."
The businessman squirmed uncomfortably. He was starting to get really scared. "I may have cut corners a few times, but I've never actually hurt anyone!"
"NEVER HURT ANYONE!" The masked man removed his mask revealing himself to Krei. "Your Silent Sparrow experiment killed my daughter! How dare you call her death a setback!"
"Her death was an aci…" Krei stopped talking and started trying to get air in him as Callaghan placed his hands around his neck, trying to choke him to death.
"There was nothing accidental about Abigale's death! You knew it wasn't safe, but your greed was more important than her life!" Callaghan stopped choking him and grabbed the man's shirt, lifting him a few inches off the platform.
At the opening, Hiro's microbot' wings carried him down and anchored himself to his own platform. Using hand gestures, he moved the portal pieces into position. The microbots secured the pieces in place and drew together interlocking the pieces.
Ignoring the cries of Krei, Hiro used his invention to turn on the power. The portal sputtered and sparked for a few seconds. Then the portal opened the artificial wormhole and started sucking the building piece by piece inside.
Callaghan leaned close to his victim and whispered into his ear. "I'm going to take everything from you before I send you on a one way trip into there. I hope your death is painful!"
The portal had sucked in the top floor of the building, when there was a fracas in the barrier, near where the courtyard was. The enslaved Hiro followed Callaghan's commands reinforcing the barrier to ensure no help got through.
Then there was another fracas and the barrier wavered even more. Hiro tried to reinforce it. His efforts didn't work as a hole formed in the barrier after a section of the microbots crumbled after being made brittle.
Big Hero 6 rushed inside, not sure how long the gap in the barrier would last. As soon as they entered the courtyard they had to keep themselves from being sucked up into the portal.
Baymax identified each person and where they were at the moment. He also, of course, gave them a health update. "Callaghan's emotional center has been overwhelmed by his breakdown. He is likely to make mistakes.
Krei's body is reacting to fear. He is attempting to find a way out of the barrier. For some reason, he has suffered from bladder leakage.
Hiro is the same as before. His nanites are trying to prevent him from opening old wounds."
Tadashi heard him and started issuing orders. "You guys start getting rid of the microbots! Baymax get Hiro and keep him safe! I'm going after Callaghan!" The orange clad boy started running towards his target as the rest did the same.
Wasabi felt the changes in gravity effect his weight making him lighter. Picturing himself as a snowflake falling to the ground, he was able to adjust to the gravity.
He pushed himself up and started slicing the microbots apart as he came down. The tiny robots broke apart and immediately got sucked up into the portal. He bounced to another section and did that again.
"I'm the green fury and taste my blades!" He yelled in excitement. His ears picked up the sound of something in the air. Quickly, he slashed the barrier causing the microbots to float up in front of him like a shield.
Pieces of broken glass pierced the microbots before being sucked up into the portal. The portal's power was increasing slightly as it tore apart the top two floors completely apart. The retaining wall also started to crumble.
Hiro's slightly active brain registered that four of the members of Big Hero 6 were actively trying to destroy his barrier. The one in pink had used a chemball to create several holes in the ground while whooping in delight about chemistry. The microbots that had been underground were now flying through the air.
The blue monster had managed to find some footing on the partially sucked up retaining wall. He was blowing fire towards the upper part of the sphere. Patches devoid of microbots were growing in size.
While the green one kept slashing the right side of the building. The yellow one was speeding around the left side going up and down then sideways damaging the microbots.
His eyes were forced to look at his master. He was fighting directly with the one in orange. Krei was still on his platform witnessing the fight. Knowing the orange one was the leader Hiro commanded some of the microbots to pull away from the barrier.
The ones he gathered together turned in the shape of a pointy crystal. He aimed it at the orange one. Before he could use it a rocket fist destroyed the artificial crystal.
The big red one flew into view making part of Hiro's brain remember there was a red member on the team. He released his anchor points and flew after the robot.
The robot blinked then started flying higher in the air closer to the portal opening. The platform Hiro had been on split into smaller pillars rising up to attack Baymax. Whenever they came close he would use karate moves breaking them apart.
Baymax twisted out of the way as Hiro tried to ram him in midair. He performed a few loops carefully maintaining his distance from the portal opening. He could get away from it on his own power, unlike Hiro whose wings were already starting to fall apart as they were sucked inside.
Wanting to get further away from the opening to the portal, Baymax dived down, avoiding chunks of the building and occasionally batting some of the microbots into the air.
Hiro followed Baymax before flying around some of the debris and then rocketing up and striking Baymax in the chest. The robot wobbled in the air for a second leaving an opening for the kid.
Hiro kept up the attack punching and clawing at Baymax's armor in a frenzy. He needed to destroy the robot completely if he was to complete his master's orders.
As Hiro continued to attack Baymax, Tadashi and Callaghan were locked in combat with each other. Once more, the microbots formed an armor around Callaghan. Tadashi had pulled together a snake robot and was using it as a whip.
Tadashi whirled his snake whip to block Callaghan's strike. The man was clearly deranged as he tried to hit Tadashi with his enhanced punches. Jumping up Tadashi kicked out both his legs landing a blow to just below the knee caps on both legs. He then scrambled backward to avoid taking a foot to his head.
"I always admired your persistence, Mr. Hamada. You never gave up even when the situation clearly is not in your favor!" Callaghan shouted as smashed his right foot on Tadashi's. Even with the armor it still hurt.
"You were our teacher and betrayed our trust!" he snapped back. Without looking he pulled out a robot piece from his shirt's side pocket. He squeezed it firmly causing a laser beam to shoot out of it.
The light from the beam blinded Callaghan for a few moments. Dropping off the shaky platform, Tadashi held on tight to slowly thinning base. He knew Callaghan would soon discover him so he had to work fast.
Slipping his fingers into his arm pocket, he pulled out a tiny little robot. It was shaped like an ant. He carefully placed the metal insect into the base. Then he lifted his head to see if Callaghan was still on the platform.
Callaghan grabbed him by the collar and hauled him up onto the platform. Gripping him tightly, the man used his enhanced microbot armor to pile drive Tadashi over and over into the platform. He kicked the young man on the back attempting to break his former student's spine.
"I have had it with you, Tadashi Hamada! I would have had my revenge by now if you didn't keep interfering!" He rolled the man over and pulled the helmet off. He threw it off the platform and it was sucked straight into the portal.
The artificial wormhole had increased its gravimetric pull. Almost everything was inside the portal. Krei had been freed from his platform when a piece of the building had crashed into it. Right now, the man's jacket had snagged on an exposed beam. If it ripped he go straight in.
I need to get up now. If I don't the entire plan is doomed. Despite the agony of the assault, Tadashi pushed himself up with his hands and managed to stand halfway up. He looked Callaghan straight in the eyes. "Your revenge ends here Professor." He clicked the activation button on his left hand.
There was a loud beeping sound than a burst of orange energy sweeping across the air. Instantly, every single remaining microbot fizzled out. The portal started to suck them at incredible speed.
Tadashi had used a disrupter robot he had created. While it could only disrupt a few microbots, due to their shared mental link, all of them had been disrupted by the tiny robot.
Fred bounced up and caught Tadashi. Baymax landed on the ground and had strong bear hug grip around Hiro. Two chemballs trapped Callaghan in an extra strength cocoon mesh.
The portal fell to the ground now that it wasn't being supported. It rolled around before coming to a rest on some rubble. The artificial wormhole started to dissolve as the opening started to breakdown.
"We need to get out of here until the wormhole finishes breaking down! It's too risky to stay here!" Honey Lemon called out to her friends. The others nodded in agreement.
Fred and Wasabi grabbed a hold of Callaghan's cocoon and started dragging him across the ground as fast as they could. The girls followed them looking back over their shoulders to make sure the rest of the team was following them.
Tadashi ran past Baymax, who was scurrying as fast as he could to get out of the danger zone. Hiro had stopped struggling and was hanging limply between the robot's arms.
The robot turned his head around to make sure Krei was still relatively safe for the time being when his sensors were drawn towards the portal. He stopped and stared at it, trying to make sense of the confusing data.
"Baymax! Get over here now!" Tadashi shouted. He had joined the others behind a large chunk of the building to wait out wormhole. "Both you and Hiro need to get behind here now!"
"I cannot. I have detected an adult female who appears to be in hypersleep. My scanner has also picked up on her slow degeneration from the effects of the wormhole."
Callaghan knew instantly that it had to be his daughter. Abigale was alive! "Hiro! Get my daughter back here before the wormhole closes!"
The servos in Hiro's body started back up. The kid threw his head back into Baymax's chest. Surprised, the robot lost on the grip and the boy ran full speed into the portal!
"HIRO!" Tadashi yelled in a panic. Before he could jump into the portal after his little brother Baymax stopped him. "Let me go Baymax! I lost Hiro once, I can't lose him again!"
Baymax looked at his creator with stern eyes. "You will not survive passage into the wormhole and have no way to return to the entrance before it closes completely. I have the means to do both. I will get Hiro and bring him back safely."
The robot activated his wings and shot up to gain altitude. Then he deactivated his thrusters. Gravity pulled him down towards the portal opening as he gained speed. He passed through the portal going 250 miles, the same as a peregrine falcon.
As he flew away from the event horizon, Baymax diverted most of his power to his scanner. He could now see farther than before and started doing a sweep of the wormhole while twisting and doing loops to avoid the floating building parts.
There! He saw Hiro on top of the pod. Through the pod's hatch, he saw a woman lying in the cockpit clearly in hypersleep. It was remarkable that her muscles hadn't atrophy during the five years she had been in here.
It appeared that Hiro was attempting to break the glass to get her out of the pod. Sudden exposure to the wormhole environment after being in controlled one for years could send her into shock.
Firing a three second blast, Baymax pushed himself through the environment towards the pod. Directly in his path was part of a level of the building, with only a narrow path through a broken window.
Sucking his gut even tighter, Baymax flew through the hole. He was surrounded by floating glass. He was thankful for his armor. One tear and he be stranded here.
Swiping the glass aside, he continued through the narrow path and used his rocket fist to create an opening. The window in front of him broke apart as he flew through it.
He finally reached the pod and tapped the boy on the shoulder. Hiro stopped pounding the glass. He floated a bit in the air looking at the robot. He didn't have any microbots to attack and his energy had been spent jumping his way here and trying to break the glass.
Baymax caught his rocket fist as it returned to him, but didn't put in back on. Instead, he pressed his hand on the neural transmitter. He had a hunch, which was remarkable considering he was a robot, about how to communicate with the boy.
He ran his program through the transmitter and it was turned into bio electricity entering his brain. Images flashed in Hiro's mind. A way to complete the mission and get them all back safely.
The rest of Big Hero 6 stared at the portal. The opening had started to shrink. Soon it would completely close. The team was praying that the opening would remain for a few more minutes.
"Please Baymax, bring my brother home," Tadashi whispered to himself.
The opening was about to close completely when something was wedged between the event horizon forcing it to open wide. It was the microbots joined together to form a large version of themselves!
Baymax's armor was pushed out first. The pieces came apart revealing Abigale lying on the ground. Then came Baymax who wiggled his way through the opening. He fell to the ground and rolled away. Opening his arms they saw Hiro safely tucked with him.
The boy raised his hand and pushed the microbots back into the wormhole which finally collapsed. With the portal closed, the area returned to normal. Krei's jacket finally gave out and he landed in the one remaining bush.
The group heard the sirens approaching and knew their time was limited. Go-Go pressed her foot hard against Callaghan's chest. Glaring at her old professor she spoke in a dangerously low tone. "Where are the flash drives with the data you stole from Hiro? Tell us now!"
"I don't have to tell you anything," he spat at her. He was looking past Go-Go towards his daughter. She was still unconscious yet alive.
After the last five years, he thought his daughter was gone, here she was now. All he wanted to do was get out of this cocoon and hold her.
Seeing this, Wasabi and Fred stood in front of Abigale blocking her from Callaghan's sight. "If you ever hope to see your daughter again you'll tell us where the flash drives are," Wasabi demanded.
"Not to mention your other lair!"
"You have no authority when it comes to if I see my daughter or not!"
"But the courts do," Honey Lemon chimed in. "All we have to is contact the DA and provide them with your motive and videos of you trying to kill us and they'll send you to maximum lock up with no visitors."
Callaghan's face blanched. He knew his former students were telling the truth. He couldn't lose Abigale all over again, not after seeing her alive again! "The flash drives are in my pocket. My other lair is at the old Chinese hospital in Chinatown. The back door is open. You'll find the rest of the information related to Hiro there, including notes on how I surgically implanted the servos and robot prosthetics onto his body."
Honey Lemon melted part of the cocoon so she could reach into Callaghan's pocket and remove the drives, before resealing him. Go-Go then lead the team, save for Baymax and Tadashi, towards the lair.
Tadashi hugged his brother tightly. "I wish I could take you with me now, but I can't. You need to be found by the legal authorities. I love you Hiro and I'll see you soon."
Tadashi laid his brother down next to Abigale and took off his brother's helmet. He placed it near Hiro so it appeared it came off due to the intense gravitational pull.
"We need to go now," Baymax gently prompted his creator. Tadashi nodded and climbed on Baymax. They took off and were out of sight as the authorities arrived.
The fire department went to work putting out small fires. Some officers were talking with Krei about what happened as others arrested Callaghan and took him into custody. The paramedics were attending to both Abigale and Hiro.
"Miss, can you tell me your name? Can you speak?" One of the paramedics asked as they loaded Abigale onto a stretcher. "Can you hear me miss? What is your name?"
Abigale's eyes fluttered open. She was confused by what was going on and didn't know where she was. Her mouth was incredibly dry. "My name is Abigale. Abigale Callaghan," she said in a raspy voice.
"Okay, don't worry Abigale. We're going to take you to the hospital right now. Just stay calm for us alright?"
"Alright." As she was loaded into the ambulance, out of the corner of her eye, she saw her father sitting in a police car. She was puzzled about it and would ask about it later. Right now she was in a lot of pain.
Hiro was being rolled to his own ambulance, still in his coma. The paramedics were trying to get him to respond or at least tell them his name. His comatose state was very concerning.
The paramedics passed by the fire marshal in order to reach the ambulance. He spotted the boy and told the medics to stop for a second. He walked over and got a proper look at the boy.
His eyes widened in disbelief. "I don't believe this. It's the boy we thought perished in the SFIT fire, Hiro Hamada! How in the world did he get here and what happened to him?"
"Sir, we need to get him to the hospital right now. If you could contact his family, please tell them we're bringing him to San Fransokyo Memorial Hospital. He needs medical attention right away."
Back at the Lucky Cat Café, Tadashi and Baymax had finished storing their gear and greeted Aunt Cass, as she entered the café. They took her groceries and started walking up the stairs.
"Thanks for your help boys. I didn't realize how many bags I had gotten. I didn't see you this morning. Another early day at the campus?" she asked, picking up Mochi and hugging him.
"You could say that," Tadashi commented. His heart was beating fast as he anxiously waited for the call about his brother.
The home phone rang and Aunt Cass picked it up. "Hello, this is Cass. Oh hello Mr. Punch, have you figured out how the fire started?"
Baymax and Tadashi watch as the color drained out of Aunt Cass's face. Her eyes were wide and she had tightened her grip on the phone. "Are you sure? Absolutely sure? San Fransokyo Memorial? Tell them we're on our way and thank you."
She dropped the phone and stared at Tadashi. "Tadashi, you're not going to believe this. They found Hiro and he's alive!"
Tadashi didn't have to disguise his happiness. "Hiro's alive? Hiro's alive yes!"
