Chapter 11: Upgraded
Hiro and his sister sneak downstairs to the garage along with Baymax. They almost got caught when Baymax got curious of the TV that was on when Aunt Cass was watching with Mochi. Luckily they dragged him down the rest of the way to their makeshift engineer lab.
" If we want to catch that guy, you're going to need some upgrades." Hiro said as he scans Baymax with a hand held scanner that can upload anything directly to one of the many computers set up in the lab.
" Will apprehending the man improve your emotional state?" Baymax asks.
" Yes it will." Hiro answered typing in a few programs for Baymax's upgrades.
" I got the movie like you asked oniisan." Tetris said handing her twin the karate movie as she goes to the other side of the lab to work on her own project.
" Thanks." Hiro said putting the movie into the hard drive to a computer screen beside the one that has Baymax's scan image.
Hiro takes a red card chip and places into another hard drive for uploading. He then has the movie play the scene with a karate master taking down ninjas and has the Baymax image copy the moves of the character. Once satisfied with the result, Hiro starts the upload of the new moves onto the chip.
" Now let's take care of this." Hiro said poking Baymax's stomach and rolls off to another part of the lab in his office chair leaving Baymax to poke his own stomach.
Hiro rolls up beside his twin to the huge holographic she is using to start on Baymax's armor. Luckily the screen is big enough to be shared among the two of them. While Hiro works on programs for constructing armor, Tetris is working on a project of her own.
He works on construction an outline of each piece of armor for Baymax and then electronically sends the outlines to a printer that will shape the pieces of the armor out of carbon fiber.
After the armor pieces are made and buffed up, Hiro attaches the armor plates onto Baymax. Tetris turns around from the hologram screen and tries so hard not to laugh at the is in a khaki green and black armor that has made his big stomach even more noticeable.
" I have some concerns." Baymax said looking at his stomach. " This may undermine my non threatening, huggable design."
" The truth is I agree." Tetris said making the finishing touches on her project before having it printed.
" It's kind of the point Bayma. You look sick!" Hiro said.
" I cannot be sick. I am a robot." Baymax said.
" Again. It's just an expression." Hiro told Baymax as he hears downloading complete from the behind. He rolls back over to the computer that has completed downloading on the fighting chip. He takes out the red chip and marks it with skull and crossbones.
He opens up Baymax's chest card port and stares sadly at Tadashi's green card in its place. He inserts the card into the port besides his brother's and pushes the port back in.
Baymax takes in the fighting database he has been given and says, " I don't see how karate makes me a better healthcare companion to you and your sister."
" You want to keep us healthy, then punch this." Hiro said holding up a wooden board. Baymax scanner targets the board and with one swing, he breaks it in half. " Yes!" Hiro shouts at this.
" Whoa!" Tetris said in disbelief at Baymax's new capabilities.
" I know right!" Hiro said. " Hammer fist!" He smashes the next wood board.
" Round House!" Said destroys the old coffee table.
" Back kick!" The twins said together. Baymax once again obliterates another piece on furniture.
Hiro excited orders, " Gummy bears!"
" Really this no time for a snack." Tetris glares as Baymax works the vending machine as she saw the printer finish up her project.
" Yes." Hiro said not really caring what his twin just said. Tetris rolls her eyes as she goes over to printer. She takes out the carbon fiber pieces and and starts putting it together.
Tetris fuses the carbon fiber parts together with a blow torch and pulls out a suitcase. She opens it to show what looks like a metal skeleton arm with wires all around the frame. The power source technology that is going to allow her to move the arm is in both the palm of the hand and in the elbow.
Tetris has actually been working on this project since her physician told her that her stump was to short to have a fully functional prosthetic a week ago. She actually has based it on the same technology she has in her gloves. Except it was going to allow her to regain control over her lost limb.
She covers the metal structure with Neoprene, a material used for dive suits, and attaches the carbon fiber piece over the neoprene to provide protection for the technology inside, without putting on too much weight it. If she was to be wearing this arm, then she needs it to be as light as possible.
She sits on her metal stool and picks up the arm to attach to her stump. She presses a button at upper part of contraption and the access port opens like a flower ready to be attached. Her stump goes into the port and the device closes around the stump.
A part of the upper arm opens to reveal a metal lever. Tetris takes a deep breath and pulls the lever. For the briefest moment she feels an electrical shock of pain erupted throughout her entire body as her nerves connect. The pain finally dies down and Tetris opens her eyes to see the arm laying limply on the table.
" Move your thumb" Tetris tells the arm. Then she sees the thumb of the arm move. She starts moving all of her fingers. She then lifts the arm off the table and does many motions with it. For the first time since the incident, she has a right arm.
Hiro finishes going over the rest of the karate upgrades with Baymax and they both bow. " Yes awesome! Fist bump!" Hiro said holding his fist to Baymax.
" Fist bump is not in my fighting database." Baymax said confused.
" Umm.. It's not so much as fighting thing. It's what people do when they are excited or pumped up! Like this. Tetris come over here." Hiro called his twin over.
Tetris comes over to Hiro and Hiro's mouth drops. His twin has what it looks to be a new arm. It's looks metal from a distance, but Hiro knows it's carbon fiber. For sure it is technologically the most advanced prosthetic arm of its kind.
" That may just guarantee you a million dollar company one day." Hiro said.
" Shut up." Tetris said.
" Lets test out the fist bump function with this thing." Hiro said.
" You're on." Tetris said. They high five both ways and fist bump adding their personal sound effects along with. Success.
" Now it's your turn Baymax." Hiro said.
He gets Baymax to copy the hi five but after the fist bump, Baymax added his own sound effect, " Ba-la-la-la"
Tetris laughs hard at that. " Well I think he sort of gotten the idea."
" Alright enough fist bumping. We have to go back to the warehouse and confront Tadashi's killer."
" Let's go then." Tetris said.
They open the garage door and head out to stop the Kabuki man. What the twins didn't know was that they are being followed by a car.
Another Chapter is done. Sorry for the delay. I had finals that week, but now I'm done for the semester. Thus having more time to post chapters.
Now Tetris has a robotic arm or ,if you want to be all Fullmetal Alchemist, Automail. She is no longer handicaped.
Also I am planning to post my Christmas story soon, so look out for it. It will called " A Big Hero 7 Christmas"
See you later and Please Review.
