Here is the full chapter! Woohoo! =D

Sorry to keep you waiting, but I hope this makes up for it.

Also, hello to anyone who has read/reviewed/followed/favorited this story! You deserve homemade cookies just because of that (goooo cookies!)

Oh, just so you know, I'm not entirely sure on the medical aspect of this. I've tried to make this as accurate as possible (I did do research), but just so that this chapter makes sense, let's pretend that this disaster (you'll get what it is as you read) is a super powerful one.

I hope you enjoy.

I do not own Big Hero 6/100 or any of their characters

"Get outta the way!" Bellamy sucked all the air out of his lungs as he screamed that, carrying Octavia over one shoulder and Hiro on the other.

'Dammit!' he thought. He barely noticed his own appearance, just focusing on weaving through the overly-crowded hallways. 'Out of all the days this had to happen'

People who could moved out of the way, either because of Bellamy's orders, his appearance, or the fact that they hadn't recognised him or the two children he was carrying. They were half in shock or panic, and no one tried to stop him.

Bellamy's legs were starting to burn, his heart was beating too fast, and he felt as if he was about to be sick. His head felt like it was spinning and pounding at the same time, but he ignored it. 'Hiro and Octavia are off worse' his head managed to think, which was enough to keep him going.

Vaguely, he noticed that their breathing was off, taken in in short and hurried breaths. Their hands were in loose fists, with any remaining energy in them almost completely gone.

As raced down the last hallway, he heard a panicked "Oh my God" coming from Clarke. He had met her a couple of times, but rarely spoken to her. "Mom!" she yelled over her shoulder "We need to get three cots ready, now!"

Bellamy then noticed a small group gathered inside the medical station, who groaned and sighed loudly in exhaustion. When they noticed who was running towards them, they then shouted complaints that seemed to come straight out of the waste shaft. Full of rotten disgust.

The medical staff gasped when Bellamy stepped in, carefully laying Hiro and Octavia in two of the messy cots that had been rushed out.

"What happened?" Abigail Griffin asked in a direct tone. She started looking over the two children before Bellamy could give an answer "I need two oxygen masks" she ordered to her assistants, when hesitated before moving.

"They're suspected criminals, Doctor Griffin" one of them said "We can't treat them until everyone else has, that's one of the policies in Medical"

"Screw tha-" Bellamy's shout turned into a raspy cough, and the burning in his legs had risen to a fire straight from the pits of Tartarus. His knees hit the floor hard, but the pain was almost nothing compared to the rest of his body.

"What happened?" Clarke was kneeling beside him, keeping one hand on his shoulder to make sure he didn't fall to the floor.

Bellamy forced the rest of the cough down, scraping out "We couldn't find them in time. Kept looking- after the flare hit. Found them. We had to hide-" he pressed a had to his mouth when he felt the bile rise up his throat.

"Pass me the the bucket" he heard Clarke say. All the nausea and dizziness that he had held back suddenly came rushing forward, along with anything in his stomach, straight into the bucket.

"Bring the other cot" Abigail's voice said "We need to prepare these three for solar radiation treatment, Priority One. If we don't move fast, we might not be able to treat the side effects"

"Solar flare alert. This is an X-class solar flare alert. Solar flare alert. All Ark citizens on the starboard side of the Ark must immediately report to the nearest shelter room" The pre-recorded message repeated itself on the Ark's speakers, over and over again.

Bellamy had been standing against the doorframe of his and Octavia's home when the announcement came, while the Ark's guards had just finished destroying inspecting the apartment.

"Well, Mr. Blake" Inspector Gruse signalled the guards to leave the room "You might as well come with us. Solar flare's coming"

"Octavia" Bellamy whispered, barely hearing the inspector "Hiro. They ran off"

Inspector Gruse was starting to walk down the hallway with the rest of the guards "Mr. Blake, I'm sure they'll turn up. I doubt that they want to… oh, I don't know. Not exist anymore" he grinned smugly at Bellamy.

Bellamy didn't waste anytime. He locked his home's door and zig zagged in between the guards, careful not to touch any of them and be held back by them.

"Octavia! Hiro!" he yelled as he ran through the halls, looking around every corner. 'Maybe they'd gone to the shelter on Factory Station' he thought. It wasn't far from his home. He weaved through the growing crowd, looking at every person's face as he passed them.

"Bellamy!" he heard someone shout. He whipped his head around and spotted Aunt Cass, who was in the hallway that connected Factory Station to Mecha Station.

He pushed his way through, making his way to the almost empty hallway. "Have you seen Hiro and Octavia?" he asked the second he reached her.

Aunt Cass breathed in shakily "No" she looked out in the crowd "I already got a guard to let me borrow his scanner, and neither of them have checked into any shelter unit. We've already searched Arrow and Mecha stations, but there's no sign of them"

"Do you know if anyone saw them?" Bellamy tried to think of where else they could be. Solar flares could be deadly if they were strong enough, and an X-class alert was the second-highest alert.

"I already asked" Tadashi was running down the hallway, coming to s stop next to Bellamy and Aunt Cass "No one's said anything. I don't know if they're lying or not, but why would they be lying? I mean, they know how dangerous a solar flare is! If we can't find them-"

"Calm down, Sweetie" Aunt Cass put her hands on her nephew's shoulder "Look, they're somewhere on the Ark. There aren't a lot of places they could hide"

"I've looked!" Tadashi was starting to panic. He was normally the calm one, who thought rationally. So when he started to panic, good things rarely followed "The alert's been going on for almost ten minutes. The guards are evacuating everyone, so where could they be?"

"Tadashi, look at me" Bellamy said. Tadashi turned his head "Look, they're somewhere, ok? The guards might not be helpful, but I have a few ideas on where they might be. I'm gonna keep looking" It was like the day they had met all over again. Hiro was missing, and Tadashi couldn't find him.

"The flare's about to start in ten minutes" Aunt Cass met Bellamy's eyes.

Bellamy took in a deep breath. He knew what she was trying to say to him. She wasn't strong enough to carry both Hiro and Octavia, least of all during a flare "There's a chance I might not be able to get back in time, but there's no way I'm gonna let them stay where it's dangerous for them alone"

"I can help you" Tadashi started to say.

"No way" Bellamy looked him dead in the eye "I'm an adult, it'll affect me a lot less than you. If you stay out here, it could affect you as much as Hiro and Octavia"

"But-" Tadashi opened his mouth.

"Tadashi" Aunt Cass spoke firmly "Listen, I know that your brother is out there, along with Octavia. And I don't want Bellamy staying out here by himself as much as you do. But if you go, the only thing you might do is get hurt"

"I'm stronger" Bellamy said "I can last longer than you, and I'm strong enough that I can carry them both on my own if I have to"

Tadashi didn't have much to say after that. Bellamy could see that Tadashi understood. If he was out in the solar flare and got too damaged, then Bellamy would have to worry about him. And he already had two children he needed to find.

But there was something else Tadashi wanted to say, but it just couldn't reach his tongue.

"Be careful" was what he managed to say "Find them, but… be careful"

"I will" Bellamy nodded. He gripped Tadashi's shoulder "I'll do everything I can to make sure we're all safe"

Tadashi in return gripped Bellamy's arm, trying not to panic again like he did before.

"Sweetheart" Aunt Cass said gently "Get into the shelter. I'll be right there, ok?"

Tadashi nodded, glancing worriedly at Bellamy.

"I'll find them" Bellamy reassured him "I promise"

Tadashi mouthed 'thank you' to him, before leaving to enter the shelter. Bellamy knew he wanted to go with him, but it would be better if Tadashi were safe in the shelter.

As soon as he was gone, Aunt Cass turned to Bellamy "Are you sure about this?" she asked.

"My sister's out there. Hiro, too"

She nodded "Oh, God. I can't believe you have to do this. They're children! The entire Ark should be looking for them, not calling them criminals!" she took in a deep breath "Thank you, Bellamy"

Bellamy could tell that her heart was in those words "There's not a lot of time until the solar flare" he looked at one of the monitors on the walls that showed an estimated count down of when the flare would arrive.

Aunt Cass started listing off the names she and Tadashi had checked "Mecha, Factory, even Agro Station in case they were with Monty and Jasper. The cafeteria, the school classrooms. We didn't see them anywhere"

"Got it" he ticked off the places in his head "I'll start looking. It's not like they're gonna force me into one of the shelters" he started moving.

"Bellamy" Aunt Cass called out. He stopped mid-step, and almost fell to the floor when she realised that Aunt Cass was… hugging him.

She pulled away "I know he doesn't say it, but Tadashi looks at you like Hiro looks at him" she told him "He wants you and Octavia to be safe, too. And so do I" she cupped one of his cheeks with her hand "Be careful"

Bellamy nodded slowly. The hand fell from his cheek, and he ran down the hallway, making his feet move faster than they ever have before.

'They can't be anywhere further than Argo Station' Bellamy thought 'There are too many people in Alpha, I know they didn't stay in Factory. They wanted to be alone, but the only places where there aren't people at this hour are the cafeteria and the classrooms….

'Wait a minute' suddenly, he remembered something. Back when he and Octavia he first found Hiro, he wasn't in any of the classrooms. Instead….

Bellamy picked up the pace. He knew where they were.

Octavia was the one who woke up first.

Even though she hadn't been asleep for very long, her neck felt stiff from having it at an awkward angle against the wall. Vaguely, she also noticed an object in her hand, but let it drop to the floor. It took her half a minute to understand the words she could hear through the door, repeating themselves.

Then her brain clicked.

"Hiro!" she felt her way over the the other side of the closet "Hiro! Wake up! Hiro!" she yelled loudly, and shook his shoulders franticly.

She felt him stir awake "What?" he spat out. He didn't want to go back to reality just yet.

"Wake up! There's a solar flare!" she grabbed his arm and hauled them both up to their feet.

"Wait, what?" Hiro asked in a daze. Octavia felt him trip forward, and she had to grab his other arm to steady him.

"Wake up already! There's an X-class solar flare and we're in a janitor's closet. It doesn't take a genius to know that's not a good combination"

"Oh, crap!" finally Hiro's brain had decided to kick in. "Do we know how long until it hits?"

"Nope" she answered "They only show that on the monitors. Let's get out of here" she pushed the door.

And nothing.

"Oh no" Hiro muttered "We're in trouble"

"What is it?" Octavia asked, and regretted right after.

"That means that everyone's in a shelter" Hiro said "Well, every one who isn't considered a criminal. Once that happens, the Ark does a full shut down of every public door on the Ark"

"That's so stupid!" Octavia kicked the door with her boot "Why would they do that?"

"Who cares? If they've already done the shut down, that means the flare's coming soon. You used to hide under the floor during solar flares, right?" Octavia swore she could hear the gears in Hiro's brain turning.

"Yeah" Octavia felt around the walls for anything she could use to try and force open the door "If we can get there, we should be safe from the flare" she felt her hands brush plastic containers.

"First we need to get out of here"

"No way, Captain Obvious!" Unless they could use a wooden broom to push through the door, there was still noting useful.

"Hey, I'm thinking of a way out of here!" Hiro groaned "If I only had the robot I gave Jaha for my last birthday I could get us out of here in two seconds"

Octavia froze still "Wait a minute" In an instant, she was on the floor of the closet, feeling around with her hands for the small object she was just holding in her hand a few moments ago…

"Octavia, um, what are you doing?" Hiro asked.

Finally, her hand closed around it "Found it! Your memory stick" she stood up and felt around for Hiro "You saved the coding for that robot on here right? It's one of your dummy files"

Hiro didn't have a need to hide those files. Everyone knew about the robot he and Gogo made, so it made perfect sense to keep them, just in case anything went wrong.

Her hand hit Hiro's arm, and he immediately grabbed the memory stick from her palm "You're right! There should be a panel in here"

Their hands searched the walls, where a panel that controlled the light switch and had a port for the memory stick was.

"You wish you'd know about the panel the first you were in here, huh?" Octavia joked.

"You kidding me?" Hiro was probably rolling his eyes "Tadashi's bugged me for days after he realised I hadn't seen it before. Got it!"

A blue square appeared on the right hand wall, after Hiro had pushed a random button. The only thing this panel could do was turn on the lights (which Hiro did), scan employe ID cards (which Hiro didn't), and have a port for memory sticks (which Hiro used immediately).

That panel also counted as a list of everything the closet had in stock, and any janitor had to update it using their own datapad and cable whenever they put something into the closet or when they ran out of something.

"I'm only gonna be able to put in the command for a couple of seconds" Hiro was scrolling through the minuscule code that had appeared on the square "Since this stupid panel is outdated and sucks!" he kept scrolling thorough "The door's heavy, so you're gonna have to kick it as hard you can right after I unlock it"

"Got it!" Octavia moved into a better position "Let me know one second before you do your thing"

It took another thirty seconds, but eventually, he found it. "Ok, I found it" Hiro looked over at Octavia "Ready?"

Octavia put her right leg behind her and tensed her whole body "Ready" she took in a deep breath.

"Now!"

It all seemed to happen in slow motion. She lifted her leg slightly bent, twisted her foot to give her balance, she brought her hips and momentum forward, and stretched her leg out to meet the door with her entire foot.

Honestly, she didn't expect this to work on the first try.

"Yes! Ha!" Hiro raised his fists in the air "How about that?"

"We got the door open!" Octavia yelled in excitement "We got the door open!" They both hi-fived each other, and the announcement for the solar flare was still repeating over the speakers.

"Ok, we get it!" Octavia shouted in the general direction of the nearest speakers.

Hiro quickly stuffed his memory stick into the secret pocket of his pants "Alright, let's see how much time we got to get to your place"

They ran from the hallway between the classrooms into the one that connected Arrow Station to the Cafeteria. If they went past the cafeteria, they could make it to Factory Station.

After just a few meters, they saw on their left hand side one of the huge windows of the Ark that showed nothing but endless space. On their right, were three monitors, all with the same large red letters.

They stopped short when they saw the numbers, all of them flashing in red. They were counting down, all three of them in synchrony.

Solar Flare in 00:09

Solar Flare in 00:08

Solar Flare in 00:07

Solar Flare in 00:06

Hiro and Octavia glanced fearfully at one another for a moment, before looking out the window at what was awaiting them.

The solar flare looked like a long flowing line that was the color of the sun. It burst with energy and light, more and more and it came closer with each second. Once it hit the window, it burst into dozens of tiny lines, spreading out in all directions.

It was so bright that Hiro and Octavia had no choice but to close their eyes.

And that was when it started.

The pain. It was so intense that they could both barely keep going. They had to shield their eyes and could barely see three steps in front of them.

Their skin felt like it was starting to boil, and for a moment, all Octavia could think about was the pounding in her head and the dizziness that made her want to fall to the ground.

But she couldn't fall to the ground, they had to go. Get to the hole in the floor. But she wasn't sure if that was gonna happen. Her bones felt weak and She heard Hiro throw up behind her, and she felt like she might do the same.

It felt as if it started a second ago and an eternity ago all at once. She couldn't move without some part of her body hurting, and she knew that Hiro was feeling exactly the same way.

Then a miracle happened.

Octavia felt herself be thrown over someone's shoulder, which caused her to throw up the bile that had been rising in her throat. By squinting her eyes, she saw a black circle next to her. She thought that it might've been Hiro's hair, but her head was hurting too much for her to try and figure it out.

Her body she swung right and left as whoever had picked them up (she assumed that the black head of hair was Hiro ) sped through the Ark. Where was he taking them?

She couldn't really see where she was going, and decided to close her eyes after they had started to hurt, as well.

Octavia was slightly stunned when the person had stopped. She heard something being moved, and then they were moving again, but a bit slower this time.

She heard the sounds of something being shut and something else (or were they the same things) scraping against…. She didn't know. Her brain didn't want to let her figure it out.

Again, Octavia shut her eyes and tried to focus on anything but the pain that surrounded her entire body. She thought of the flare, which somehow only made the pain worse. She tried to sense what was happening to her…

"-gonna be a tight fit" Was someone saying that?

Her body was being lowered. Lowered? Onto the ground? No. The person who had carried her was lowering themselves. With her. That made sense. Right?

Octavia felt her body being shifted, and heard both her and someone else's screams of pain. Who was screaming, too? Hiro? Maybe. It sounded like him.

Then, she saw that she was on something… not hard. It wasn't the floor. But it wasn't as soft as a bed. What was it?

She heard the scraping of… metal. That was the sound of scraping metal.

Painfully, she opened one eye.

There was a person lying next to her. He had messy hair and was wearing something blue. Hiro. And they were on top of something. Something black.

With little gasps of pain, she moved her head upwards, and saw someone looking over both of them…

"It's ok" the person whispered "I got you. I've got you"

'Bellamy' Octavia realised. He took them somewhere safe. He found them and took them somewhere safe.

Octavia closed her eye, trying to concentrate on anything but the pain. She thought short sentences. Simple sentences. So that her brain didn't get confused.

She was safe. Hiro was safe. Someone had found them. Bellamy had found them. They were somewhere safe. The flare was far away.

There was pain. She was tired. She couldn't think.

The day had been awful. She wished. Something. She didn't want to exist.

Maybe. Maybe she had a chance. To get her wish.

They could've stayed.

They could've stayed in the closet.

Why didn't they think of that?

So, what did you think? Good? Bad? Leave a review!

I'm on a writing spree, so the next chapter may be up pretty soon!

Oh, and as always, thank you for reading! =D
