A.N: Eeeeee! I'm a day late… Well, actually I'm eight days late BUT I GOT IT DONE! That's what counts in the end… right? *nervously chuckles* Anyways, like I mentioned in the previous chapter, this one's going to have a surprise. Whether it's a good surprise or a bad surprise (hopefully it's not) is completely up to you. SO I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Bonus: Did you guys know, Jackson Day is actually a villain called The Corruptor in the Marvel Universe. He battles the original Big Hero 6 gang in the comics. Thought it'd be cool to have him as the bad guy in this story since I hate writing OCs.

Yay! Now for my favorite part…

Chapter 10: Treacherous Tour

"We're here."

Wasabi slowed the car to a crawl as many large industrial buildings came into view. It was at least ten miles from civilization and the area around it looked deserted.

The four teens peered through the windows of the car at the dingy looking buildings that were poorly lit. "Um dude, there's nothing here." Not even a single person was seen in the dark deserted night. The street lights were dim and the wind was silent.

"You didn't think SFB was going to be out in the open, did you?" Tadashi smirked as he got out of the car. He closed the door behind him but noticed the others exiting the vehicle as well. Oh no. No way. "You guys are staying here."

"I don't think so." GoGo crossed her arms over her chest and gave him a pointed look.

The determined look on their faces told Tadashi he had no other choice but to take them along. The gang would follow him even if he told them not to and left them here. And as much as he hated to admit it, he didn't want to see them get hurt. And that was sure to happen if they went in wandering around without him. They were better off with him than venturing on their own in this dangerous nest filled with predatorial snakes. Tadashi blew out a frustrated breath and shook his head as he pulled out his mask. "Fine. But stick close and cover your faces as best you can."

The others looked at each other and began doing as they were told. Honey pulled off her scarf before wrapping it around her face. GoGo pulled up her yellow hood so that it covered the top half of her face, Wasabi took a pair of sunglasses from the dashboard and put it on while Fred adjusted his beanie so it was obscuring majority of his face.

Tadashi looked at them; partially amused. That'll have to do. "Alright, let's go," He said as he wore his Fox mask. They began to follow him when he paused and tilted his head towards them. "And one other thing, don't call me by my real name. In there, it's Kitsune. Same goes for you guys. Don't let anyone know who you are."

They nodded but Kitsune was already making his way into a dark alley. He gestured for them to hurry. It was too dark to see anything and that left them to wonder how Tadashi was even able to navigate in such darkness. Honey tripped multiple times but luckily was able to catch herself before face-planting on the dirty ground. GoGo scowled as she walked, she could tell she was walking on something wet and slimy, she didn't even want to know what it was. Yuck. Wasabi had a death grip on Fred's arm, this place was already pitch black and the stupid sunglasses wasn't helping any. Fred on the other hand, was nonchalant as ever. He pretending to be on a mission where he was a super-secret spy agent working in the shadowy darkness to discover hidden clues in enemy territory. He hummed an unfamiliar tune all the way, making up words to sing along with the made-up tune from time to time.

As annoying as it got after a while. No one stopped him.

As they navigated deeper and deeper into the maze like alleyway, one thing made itself very prominent; the smell. The faint coppery smell in the air got stronger and stronger until they nearly had to cover their noses to block it out. It was blood. No doubt about. Blood and sweat. Maybe they should've listened to Tadashi and stayed in the car. "Ew, I feel like we're walking on guts and puke."

"There's a good chance you are." Kitsune said. They couldn't see his face but they were sure he was smirking at them.

A sudden shriek from Wasabi made everyone jump and turn towards him.

"What's wrong?"

"Help! Something's grabbing my leg!" Wasabi screamed as he fell to the ground and was being dragged away. He clawed at the ground and kicked out at whoever held him. Fred, who was closest to him grabbed both his arms and tried pulling him back. Honey and GoGo helped too but because it was so dark they couldn't see whoever was attacking him and could do nothing more than to try to pry Wasabi out of the attacker's grip.

Suddenly the gang heard flesh hitting flesh, thuds and the sounds of grunts and groans and hurried footsteps fading away.

… and then nothing.

The night was silent once more as Wasabi scrambled to his feet and huddled close to his friends. He yelped when a hand clamped down on his shoulder. "From now on, stick closer."

From then on, the four friends stuck so close to Tadashi that they were practically glued to his back. Soon afterwards, much to everyone's relief, they saw a short building that was colourfully lit and party music echoed from within. Fancy yet weirdly dressed people strutted around. Some glanced their way but paid no particular attention to them.

"We're going to go in there?" Fred asked in awe but Kitsune said nothing as he pushed open the doors and strode inside. As soon as they entered, abruptly, the music got louder and it jarred their eardrums. Why the hell was the music so damned loud? And why couldn't they hear it from outside?

SFB was a mysterious place.

Kitsune maneuverer through the bustling party crowd with ease and headed straight towards a lady who was busy wiping counters at the far end of the hall. Majority of her face was covered with glitter, neon paint and lipstick. Her eyes lit up as soon as she saw the masked teen approaching her. "Ai, Kitsune. Back so soon?"

"Need a little bit of intel. Thought I'd stop by for some supplies while I'm at it." Kitsune answered, taking a quick glance behind him. His friends seemed to be struggling a little with the party crowd, stepping on their feet, tripping and getting pushed and shoved everywhere plus almost getting elbowed in face. Eesh. Kitsune almost winced at the sight. Finally they stumbled their way to where he was. He grinned at them and turned his attention back to the woman.

"Ah, so it's business as always. Don't 'cha ever come here to just have some fun?" The girl with the dark glittery eyeshadow asks him, biting the corner of her lower lip seductively. Some of her blue hair fell on her face as she leaned over the contour to get closer to him. Her jazzy makeup matched her neon clothes perfectly.

But in Tadashi's opinion, she showed too much skin, just like always. He had once briefly wondered who she was and what she did when she wasn't at SFB. But he never cared enough to ask.

"'Fraid I don't have the time for it, sweetheart." Kitsune clicked his tongue; hiding the disgust he felt inside. Act nice, Tadashi…

"You need to loosen up, Kitty-poo." She pouted in response before her black eyes falls on the four teens behind him and brightens up once again. They looked young, probably college students. They were strange… well, strange in a non-SFB way. Clearly, they weren't from here and they obviously didn't belong here either. And the way they clung to Kitsune meant they knew him. He must've brought them here. "Ooo, who are these cuties?" She licked her red lips and eyed them from top to toe in way that made them shudder. Even GoGo.

"They're off limits." Was a curt reply.

"You really should let others play with your toys once in a while, Kit... You know what they say about sharing." She told him in a sing-song voice.

"Maybe some other time." Kitsune waved dismissively.

"What's with the fresh blood anyway? I didn't think you were capable of actually sinking to our level... what with all your morals and code of conduct n' all that." Her eyebrows rose and fell quirkily.

"You'd be surprised what I'm capable of." Kitsune smirked. He couldn't let anyone know Honey, Wasabi, GoGo and Fred were his friends. Whoever the others thought they were, as long as it wasn't the truth, was okay with him. Even if it meant his reputation got a little mucky.

"Oh, you're just filled with surprises and mysteries, aren't you? Makes a girl wonder…" She trails off flirtatiously and pauses, then hums. "Alright. Well, try not to break them." She snickers as the newbs exchange confused glances at each other. They had no idea what they were in for. Poor suckers. She led them to the back of the building and opened a trap door.

Kitsune climbed in without any hesitation but the others followed behind doubtfully. After hearing the short exchange between Tadashi and the strange woman, they wondered if they really should be trusting Tadashi like the way they did. The trap door closed shut behind them but unlike before the corridors were lit and the tunnels were bright enough to see. "It's not far from here." He tossed over his shoulder as he led them deeper into the concrete corridor.

"What did she mean by fresh blood?" Honey asked, readjusting her scarf.

"Human trafficking."

Gasps echoed through the narrow tunnels. "You mean, they sell people here?"

"It's a black market. They sell everything here."

No one wanted to linger on that disturbing topic any longer.

They walked in silence for about ten minutes before they reached an exit. A big brass door with a heavy lock mechanism stood strongly in front of them. Kitsune heaved a lever up and unbolted the door. He had to use his whole body weight against it but got it to open without too much effort. It slid open slowly after a heavy cluck. They stepped outside and breathed in fresh air. It was starting to feel incredibly suffocating in there. They were happy to be outside again. "So who's this guy who owes you a favour?"

"His name's FrostByte..."

"And people around here return favours?" GoGo lifted an eyebrow at him. Where they were now didn't look all that different from before. The only difference was that it didn't smell as bad and they could actually see where they were going this time. Which means that at least now they'll be able to see who's doing the attacking. Although in a place like this, it was too easy to get jumped and mugged or worse and that was not a comforting thought at all.

"This guy will. I trust him."

"Why?" Obviously, Tadashi didn't trust people so easily. How come he trusted this guy? Especially someone with a SFB background no less. There has to be a reason behind it.

Kitsune didn't answer and they didn't pry any further. Maybe now was not the time.

A few minutes later, as they walked closer to their destination, the temperature around them seemed to keep dropping by ten degrees. Everyone began to shiver as the air got colder and colder with each step forward. "Whoa! It's freezing here." Fred said through his chattering teeth.

"I think I'm starting to get why this guy's called FrostByte." Wasabi said, rubbing his upper arms distractedly. It was so cold now that they were surprised it hadn't started snowing.

How was this even possible? This sudden drop in temperature didn't make sense at all. It was so unnatural. In fact, it should be impossible.

Yup… SFB truly was a mysterious place.

The four friends kept close to Kitsune as they passed by people with scowls permanently etched in their faces. Some stood by the shadows, silently smoking cigarettes. Some were being loud and obnoxious, clearly drunk, but no one paid them any heed. A rabid looking dog ran past them, chasing something that they couldn't see.

Why did I ever agree to come here? Wasabi was seriously starting to question his sanity as well as his friends'.

They finally reached their destination. Surprisingly, even though they knew nothing about this FrostByte guy, they knew exactly which building he was residing in. Actually, it wasn't all that surprising at all; it didn't take a genius to figure it out. The building they were headed towards was very different from the ones around it. First off, it looked more like a home than anything else, which is more than what could be said about the other establishments around here. The second thing they noticed was all the windows were frosted over. Pretty frost patterns decorated the glass and a thin layer of snow blanketed the roof. The place didn't seem nearly as hostile as they'd expected.

If anything, it seemed Christmassy…and so out of place.

Kitsune went up to the house and climbed the few short steps that were covered with ice, careful not to slip on it before knocking on the door.

A few seconds later, a chirpy petite girl answers the door. Her eyes sparkle with recognition. "Kit! Oh! It's so nice to see you again!" Her eyes were an unnatural color, it was a bright glowy purple. Her hair was colored with green, yellow and pink streaks. Her eyelashes were usually long and she wore a rainbow colored dress. She looked too vibrant and cheerful to be living in such a gloomy surrounding.

Kitsune smiled, genuinely happy to see her. "It's good to see you too, Tooth."

Tooth beamed and shifted her attention to the guests shivering behind him. "Oh, and these are…?"

Kitsune looked behind him once and then back at her. It took him only a moment to answer. "My friends."

It took Tooth a second to process the words. She quickly hid her shocked expression and replaced it with a warm smile targeted at the masked teen. It's about time… "Well, any friends of Kit's are more than welcome. C'mon in." She stepped aside and gestured for them to enter.

Kitsune and Tooth walked side by side, whispering in low voices so the others couldn't hear.

"What kind of a name is Tooth?" Wasabi leaned towards Honey and the others and whispered.

Then again, he was the one to talk. Wasabi, GoGo, Honey Lemon? Just when they thought names couldn't get any weirder. But it seemed his whispering wasn't low enough because the strange chirpy girl answered his question with a chuckle.

"I know it sounds strange. Tooth, short for Toothiana. It's what I've always gone by." She giggles at Wasabi's blushing face who looked embarrassed for having been caught.

"You guys should fit in just fine." Kitsune smirked. Figures, all the people he was friendly with had the weirdest names in the world.

Just then, something zipped by Honey's ear so fast that she could only make out a flash of color and a squeak. She was so startled that she collided into his friends, nearly sending them all crashing to the ground.

"Whoa! What the heck was that?" Fred asked excitedly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry about that." Tooth hurriedly caught the flying object in her hands; using both her palm to enclose it when it zipped towards her. "I'm still working out the kinks."

"Kinks of what?"

"My mini-bots." She said as slowly uncovered her tiny hands to reveal a small little robot sitting on the palm of her hand. It was brightly colored, just like Tooth was. It had big bulgy purple eyes and a long pointy nose. It had a transparent set of wings to go along with its metallic feathery tail. If it had to be described in one word… That would be- Hummingbird.

The little robot resembled a hummingbird.

"You made that?" Honey asked in awe. She'd never seen a more adorable looking robot ever. It chirped and cocked its head at them and began hopped on Tooth's hand. Honey resisted the urge to squeal in delight and pull out her phone to take a picture of it.

"Yup. She's just a prototype though." Tooth said bashfully, letting the little robot take off and disappear into the next room. Just when Kitsune was about to say something, a voice called out from behind him.

"Yo,Tadashi! Long-time no see, huh?"

Okay, first, before you guys say anything... THIS STORY IS NOT A CROSSOVER! Any characters that you may recognize are just making cameos. Nothing more. They're just here to move the plot along because like I said before, I hate writing OCs.

I think many of (If not all) of you have already found out whose voice that belonged to *winks* Hope this chapter didn't bore you too much.

PLEASE REVIEW and let me know your thoughts on this chapter. I'd really love some feedback.

Until next time guys!
*Fist-Bump*
Ba-la-la-lala!
