SFIT – THE NERD LAB
"This is almost too easy, with the school on lock down and everything."
The college was empty, and none of the doors were locked (as if that would prove to be an issue). This was literally a stroll through the park.
"Just be snappy about it, would you? We don't want that team to suspect your position!"
"Please, consider my part done. You two need to focus on yourselves."
"Are you kidding? This is child's play. Just make sure you're out of there so you can catch up with us, alright?"
"Yeah, whatever, see you later."
"Bye."
Honestly, who does she think I am? God, I'm not six anymore! Even then I was more than capable to handle this side mission...
Gently pressing open the double-doors to the laboratory, the third Fujita let herself in and proudly stood in the center of the room, a snide grin gracing her lips. Everything was in disarray since the students had no time to collect or clean up their projects or materials. It was cute; all these children believing they could change the world as they wasted away their insignificant lives in this little science lab.
You needed money and power to make a stance in this world, and that was something only Callaghan could provide for her and her sisters.
No matter, she had no time to dwell on such triviality.
Just like Callaghan had said, over to the right was the elder Hamada's office room. Strolling over, she found that the door was locked. While most doors she has had to break into are measly slabs of wood, these were state-of-the-art and were no easy task to break into. The handle would only unlock if a selected set of fingerprints were detected. Not to mention it also took into account the average size and heat of the selected hand. In addition, each time the door was locked, the handle would do a self-sanitizing routine that would cleanse the handle of any fingerprints.
This would have been a larger issue if Callaghan didn't have access to his student's offices.
Slipping on a glove that acted like a replica of Callaghan's hand, the Fujita easily entered the office.
Just across the room, sitting in front of the spherical window was the battery station of the Baymax.
Just saying "ow" will do the charm. And no need to prepare for a fight, the thing is nurse and a walking marshmallow. Just make sure you say that you're Tadashi's friend or something if you need to, and don't forget to wipe it's memory once you're done.
This would only take thirty seconds at maximum.
That is if she could get past how humiliatingly pathetic this whole process was.
"Ow."
Sure enough, the red battery station flickered to life and a white balloon began to inflate from the pod. In three seconds, a six foot, two inches tall balloon had inflated right before her eyes. The kid had to be high when making this. A nurse robot and a karate master all in one? How charming.
"Hello, I am Baymax, you're personal health care companion–"
"Spare me the jovial introduction, Tadashi is on a mission and wanted me to insert this into your chip chamber. Open up, will you?"
The pad refused to open.
"I do not recognize you. As far as I am concerned, Tadashi does not know you. This school is on lock down and I have reason to suspect that you should not be here."
Why didn't Callaghan tell me this thing was a smartass?
"How can I trust you? May I analyze what chip you are going to insert into my system?"
Okay, maybe this thing was pretty impressive.
Good thing Callaghan knows what he's doing.
"Sure thing, Tadashi made it, check it out..."
Holding out the chip, the Fujita bit back a smirk as the bot began to scan it.
Callaghan had programmed it using Tadashi's computer and designed a shield so that when scanned, it seemed like it contained very different coding for different purposes.
The dumb robot totally fell for it.
"Look, there's not much time, you need to go help Tadashi. I gotta download something else into you before we leave, but I'll explain how I'm involved in all of this once we leave."
"I understand." Baymax replied, giving access to his chip portal.
The Fujita slotted the chip in without another word and patiently waited for the simple but ingenious magic to happen.
Sure enough, Baymax entered a figurative state of freezing. While the Fujita had forewarned Baymax that she needed to download something, Baymax might have rebooted and resisted, and she couldn't allow things to get any more somplicated.
Similar to a computer, Baymax was rendered useless as he was trying to compute what the chip was downloading into him; he was freezing over whilst registering so much data at once. Whipping out a device, the Fujita plugged in a wire from the device and into Baymax's temple, proceeding to erase one minute of history within Baymax's database. It even had the command to shut Baymax off as another line of code was inserted at the end saying, 'I'm satisfied with my care.'
So, when the device notified the Fujita of the completion, Baymax merely returned back to his station. When he would awake, this interaction never existed.
Now they could monitor and flip that wretched team on their backs in an instance in the most cunning, unexpected and backstabbing way that was ever conceived.
Retracing every step and exiting the building, the Fujita sped off towards the shores, taking a shortcut through the sewers
She liked being one step ahead of everyone.
SAN FRANSOKYO – THE BARREN SHORES
The criminally bright sun shone down upon the rather lackluster shoreline. Unlike the hip, grandiose beaches that San Fransokyo had to offer, this particular shoreline was home to much of the city's excess waste and toxic materials. Drains and sewage pipes could be found clustered underneath sand mounds, oozing black and green chemicals mingled with the sea water, and all matter of wreckage was strewn about. Nearby power plants ran to improve such debris and pollution, and it was working, but the stench and sight of it all was enough to ward off even the most daring and loneliest of souls.
Pulling up to such a barren, forsaken landscape, Hiro shuddered and huddled into his hoodie, as if the mere presence of it all was biting into his flesh. Besides all the rubbish, it was deserted and desolate...
Except for one very out of place, very familiar cruiser.
It was unmistakably Callaghan's cruiser.
Sleek, 50 feet tall, and with the ability to travel at least seventy knots, it was easily one of the greatest virtues Callaghan's riches had to offer.
It was also something that easily unnerved Hiro at this given moment.
If Callaghan and the Fujitas boarded that ship with Tadashi, they would not be able to catch up. They would loose.
"Seriously, for such a high-tech city, they really need to improve their sewage system, it's absolutely nasty!"
Slapping a hand over his mouth, Hiro dropped to the ground in a heartbeat. That was one of the Fujitas he was tailing, she must have popped out of one of the drainage pipes, but how could he not have heard her?
"Thank god for Callaghan making these outfits resistant to odor and stains..."
There's the other.
"Hey you two, about time you showed up."
Wait, who the heck was that?
"Can it, you were supposed to be here before us anyways."
"Be nice! I did my part!"
Was that the third Fujita?
"Right, because your part was so difficult."
"It could have been! You guys got to go to that cafe I really like!"
"Our operation could have gone awry too!"
Two cries resounded in the air accompanied by a pair of heavy thumps.
"Don't make me have to use my parasol next... sometimes I can't even believe I'm related to you two. Let's just get on that ship. I could use a shower."
"Hey, where's Callaghan?"
"He said he was trying not to get run off the road by that team–"
"They're that persistent?"
"Well, he did kidnap one of their members; they're leader, most specifically."
"Wait, really? The leader? The older Hamada brother?"
"Don't you remember the plan? I mean, I don't know what Callaghan wants with him, but he needed him specifically."
What's that supposed to mean?
"He should be here any moment now– there he is!"
Hiro heard the grinding of wheel meeting gravel and shimmied away from the headlights that threatened to expose where he hid. He heard a car door open and slam shut, followed by a trunk popping open and a sickening thump of something big and moderately hefty behind recklessly flopped onto the ground.
"Hurry! You two, get over here and help me, we don't have much time!"
Hiro's stomach clenched from hearing Callaghan's voice. He sounded the same as ever, nothing had changed. Was his voice always so normal or always so deceiving and cold?
"Good to see you too, Callaghan."
"Cut the attitude and get moving– crap, they're here!"
"You're not getting away, Callaghan!"
"Forget it, I've got him, you three, hold them off!"
"Yes, sir!"
Four figures zoomed over Hiro's head.
"Hiro, we need you to stay put," Honey Lemon addressed. Never had Hiro heard her sound so serious and sharp before.
As much as Hiro hated not being able to help, he knew he had to stay put and leave it up to the team.
He knew they would get Tadashi back.
They had to
A barren wasteland by the shore. A sun broiling down from above. If one thing was agreeable, it was that this was not the ideal setting for a climactic battle.
The three women created a barrier between the four teens and the cruiser that Callaghan and Tadashi had just disappeared into.
"Stand down," GoGo began, "you're outnumbered."
"Please," The bot-fighter ringleader–who also happens to be the leader of the Fujitas– drawls, "four hormonal college students? I think we can manage." Flexing out her weapon, she poised the handle with stunning grace as the tip of the parasol nestled gently into the sand.
The other dressed in kiss pink twirled her mace and sticked out her tongue, winking one of her eyes.
The third Fujita's attire was similar to her sister's, except her kimono embellished a lovely turquoise tint and her weapon of choice were two fans that were as sharp as blades and acted like boomerangs.
Bearing their own weapons, GoGo, Honey Lemon, Fred, and Wasabi exchanged no final words before attacking the Fujitas. They were built for this, they were prepared for this. They knew exactly what they were doing.
The Fujitas were nimble, aggressive, had an almost impenetrable defense, and knew how to work together as one body and mind, but they severely lacked in hand-to-hand combat. In reality, they truly did not stand a chance against the four superheroes, but they needed to bide all the time they could while still giving themselves enough space to retreat. The Big Hero 4 knew that this was a tricky task for the Fujitas to handle, and they had to utilize that to their full extent. They had to get past them and catch up with the cruiser before it got too far out into the ocean. It was all about timing and trust at this point. If the Fujitas were just a hair too cautious or predicable, the team could make quick work of their plan.
Fred unleashed his attack first, blasting a ferocious wave of fire towards the three women who were forced to crouch together and hide behind the ringleader's parasol. Once Fred's fire had extinguished, the smoke cleared to reveal that the parasol was undamaged, but the Fujitas barely had time to recover before Wasabi and GoGo were right on top of them.
Fred continued going toe-to-toe with the ringleader, neither of them gaining advantage however. It was hard to find an opening to attack when your opponent was throwing fire and claws your way, and it was also challenging to actually hit someone who had an unfathomably dense shield and was slowly creeping towards you.
Wasabi and the turquoise Fujita fought it out hand-to-hand. The green hero's laser-plasma swords clashed and sparked upon contact with the indestructible fans that the ninja wielded.
Flicking her chained mace with inhuman accuracy, the rose Fujita zipped around the terrain, cackling maniacally as GoGo gave chase at a closing distance, deflecting the ninja's attacks with her electro-magnetic discs.
While nobody was gaining the upper-hand, the Big Hero 4 had managed to separate the Fujitas, giving Honey Lemon a clear pass to do what she needed in order to make progress.
Dialing on her periodic-table purse, Honey Lemon's fingers madly danced across the screen, concocting dozens of chem-balls that she flung into the ocean. Once the chemicals had dissolved into the water, they formed into a hardened platform that floated on top of the surface of the sea. Stepping onto her makeshift bridge, Honey Lemon gained a sufficient head start from the rest of her gang and ran along as fast as she could, chucking out more of her chem-balls and stretching out the path that lead towards the cruiser which had already begun to move and was starting to gain speed.
Honey Lemon was quickly loosing ground and was struggling to keep up.
GoGo, Wasabi, and Fred had kept the Fujitas occupied, but they were beginning to realize that they needed to scram in order to catch up. It seemed as if that fact had also just occurred to the Fujitas as well.
Suddenly aborting, the three women bolted down the path Honey Lemon had created. Honey Lemon tried lying down other chemical traps to try to stop them, but they saw her traps coming a mile away.
The rose Fujita extended her mace like a grapling hook and latched it on a part of the boat. With the other two Fujitas clinging onto her, the rose Fujita leaped off at the end of the bridge and let her mace recoil, drawing them back up to the cruiser.
GoGo, Wasabi and Fred didn't waste another second as they too raced down the long runway at fearsome speeds. As the three neared Honey Lemon, the chemist released her final set of chem-balls that formed into a sort of ramp which also had a factor of spring once weight was applied.
With perfect timing, GoGo grasped onto Honey Lemon and catapulted herself off the ramp like a professional skier, gaining an insane amount of height and distance. Gaining an equal amount of momentum, Fred and Wasabi followed in suit, pouncing into the air with the ramp's aid and Fred's ability to jump.
Rationalizing that it was safe to follow along, Hiro ran down the platform as well, vying for a closer look.
They were going to make it!
With a cry of effort, Honey Lemon sent another round of chem-balls at the boat which exploded upon impact of the dock where the Fujitas had landed. In the blast of colors and fumes, everyone had vanished.
Hiro began breathing once he was able to catch the faint clatter of weapons sparring together. So engrossed in the battle, Hiro almost promptly fell into the ocean where the path ended. Skittering to a halt, all Hiro could do was pray that his friends were taking Callaghan down.
As the aura of dust began to settle, it was evident that the Fujitas were becoming overwhelmed. They had nowhere to run this time, and their gear was proving ineffective on a boat. The three ninjas were doing the best they could in not letting the others gain any more leverage, but the gang of superheroes were slowly gaining more purchase as the seconds dragged on.
It was only a matter of time.
The Fujitas needed help if they were going to succeed.
So, why wasn't Callaghan providing them with the materials they needed to win?
Something wasn't right.
The engines and propellers of the cruiser had caused numerous ripples throughout the water, but another surge of waves began out of nowhere, lapping over the platform and soaking Hiro's shoes. The surge of the engine was deafening, even from afar, but another sound was beginning to annoy Hiro's eardrums. It was a rumble that was slowly growing higher in pitch, like a screech or a repeated clacking noise... and it was coming from under the surface of the water.
Loosing balance, Hiro collapsed to his hands and knees, fear etched into his face. He used all his strength to stay put on the swaying platform. He tried to call out to the others that they needed to be careful... but it was no use.
As if on cue, a thundering roar came over the ocean as something broke through the surface of the water. A wall, the size of at least twenty of Callaghan's special cruisers, came rupturing from below, shooting through the sky and bending towards the cruiser.
Stuttering in shock, Hiro could only stare at the mass of black in horror.
That wasn't just any technological phenomenon.
It was his.
Those were microbots.
Billions and trillions of them.
A looming shadow overtook the cruiser as rain poured from above.
The team of superheroes looked up, becoming frozen with confusion and fear.
The Fujitas took that moment to retreat.
Realizing their mistake, the gang had tried to recover by following the Fujitas, but the wave of black matter swarmed them in a matter of moments.
Fred's fire was ineffective as spiraling tendrils of the matter snaked around him before wrapping him in a choke hold and tossing him into the sea.
Walls closed in on Wasabi who couldn't keep up with the amount that was constantly pressing down on him. Locking him in a box, it was flung overboard and into the sea with Wasabi in it as well.
Honey Lemon's shields could only withstand so much impact before they succumbed to the pressure and jarring stabs. Soon enough, an arm yanked her out from underneath her bubble and she was chucked into the ocean.
GoGo couldn't outrun the sheer, overwhelming amount of- whatever it was being directed at her. Her only escape was to dive into the ocean and pray she didn't break any bones from the impact.
All four were left to drown as the microbots fizzled out and the cruiser sped on.
All thoughts of the Fujitas, Callaghan, and Tadashi had been removed from Hiro's train of thought as he dove into the murky waters in a rush to save his drowning friends. Thankfully, their suits had been equipped with tiny floating devices that kept them afloat, enabling Hiro to rescue them quicker. Dragging them back to the platform, Hiro was hacking out polluted water and snorting out blood from his nose that suffered as well.
Everyone was breathing.
They were all okay.
Hiro was exhausted.
He allowed himself to shut his eyes, fleeting thoughts escaping his mind as he became oblivious to the platform that was disintegrating around him and the blinding headlight of a helicopter from the sky above.
