"BAYMAX! LOOK OUT!" I screamed, as the first dinosaur bot spat out a tongue of flames close to where Baymax was hovering.
Baymax blinked once, then swerved to one side, barely dodging the tongue of fire. I almost fell off, but managed to hang on.
"We are not playing tag anymore, Hiro!" Callaghan taunted me. "This is a full-scale, epic bot fight that you have NEVER fought in before!" He cackled. "Two bots enter, one bot leaves. And you and Baymax vs. me and all of those vicious bots, we're going to see who eventually gets the upper hand!"
I couldn't focus on Callaghan's words. I couldn't believe that Callaghan can multitask like that—control the bots so that they can fire on us wherever we were, and talk with us in accepting our defeat. In the meanwhile, I was trying not to get scorched from the randomly timed columns of fire. Somehow he figured out that fire is now my biggest fear. But I'm not going to stand down. I would not give up. This is for the sake of my friends.
Just then, I saw one of Abigail's drone-like bots fly straight at Callaghan's face. More of the same kind began to close in on Callaghan's face.
"What the—whaaaa!" Callaghan shrieked as the bots began attacking him on all sides trying to grapple at the mask.
From a distance I saw everyone from my team coming in. The microbots have been wiped off of the streets completely. The zombie-like bots were sliced up, burnt, and no longer functional. I think Abigail was offering a distraction for me, so I better use that to my advantage. I touched down with Baymax on what was left of the bridge and faced the rest of the group.
"Well?" I asked them.
"We got them," Fred said. "All the bots are destroyed—well, except for these ones." He pointed to the ones behind Callaghan's back. "At least, that's what everyone here told me. Those bots on our side were Abigail's, right?"
"Yeah," I responded.
"Well, they are still intact, so don't worry too much about them."
"We've got these handled," Honey Lemon assured us, grinning as she produced endless amounts of chemical bombs out of her periodic table purse. "We'll split up. Fred, you with me?"
"IT'S FRED TIME!" I heard Fred scream as he and Honey Lemon went to tackle the dinosaur bots near the left.
"We'll take the right flank then," Gogo told me, turning to Wasabi. "Ready?" Gogo asked.
"Let's do this!" Wasabi cried. "You're gonna dance with these!" I heard him scream as they tackled the dinosaur bots near the right. Now it was just me, Tadashi, Baymax, and the invisible Clara.
"The bots in the middle are actually the most dangerous," Clara noted, turning visible again just so that I can see her. "I am no robotics genius, but I can tell from the way they are fuming that they are definitely preparing for another attack." She pointed at their nostrils, which were steaming. I have never seen a bot's nostrils before (and that sounds pretty gross), and I'm pretty sure dinosaurs don't steam unless they are preparing for attack. If Clara is right, then this may very well be the most dangerous task we have to handle, and we have to handle it well.
"I sense that one of the bots have a small malfunction," Tadashi said. "If that's the case, its last moves could be pretty fatal. I'll handle that one with Clara."
"No," I said. "Callaghan's expecting you to die this time. I won't let you."
"But Callaghan needs you dead, too!" Clara protested. "No, rephrase that. HE WANTS YOU DEAD. Face it. Everyone here needs you. If you die fighting that bot, what would we do without you?" She came over to me and gave me another hug, tears flowing down her cheeks, but time was running out.
"I will take good care of Hiro," Baymax said. "We have talked about his conversation with Abigail and what we should do. If he gets hurt, I would take good care of him like I did Tadashi. Do not worry. Go fight the better bot. Hiro and I would take the sick bot."
"Alright then," Tadashi relented, also coming over and ruffling my hair a little bit. "Good luck, little bro. This would be a fight that no one would forget."
"I thought you said that bot fighting was illegal?" I teased him.
"I guess this could be an excuse," Tadashi said with a wink. "At least, no one is betting on this fight." Then Clara let me go, joined Tadashi, and they activated their jet packs again and tackled the fully-repaired bot, while I scrambled back on Baymax's back and we took on the slightly malfunctioned bot.
