Elsa and Matteo woke up to a commotion at the camp.
"He's dead!" Eugene yelled. "Leon was murdered!"
Matteo jumped up and rushed to the scene with Elsa following.
"How?" GoGo inquired.
"It looks like some kind of alchemical reaction that kills any rogue slaves of Sumiko's," Matteo said.
"We should hurry. His death shouldn't be in vain," Anna added.
"We can't just leave him like this." said Matteo. He made a small gesture with his right hand that cremated Leon's body. After paying respects, the team jumped on their horses and charged after Sumiko, seldom stopping for breaks. Within hours, they reached a strange circular wall made of earth.
"How is this supposed to work?" GoGo asked quizzically, gesturing to the odd wall. Everyone climbed off their horses.
"Alchemy can do a large number of strange things," Matteo answered.
"Alright, well, I can make a bridge over it," she trusted her arms forward to construct a bridge of ice over the wall of rock.
"Let's go," Matteo led.
Hiro and GoGo usually lagged behind slightly, bearing alternative motives, but the same interests.
Matteo was the first to peek over the wall and jump down. The team followed. They stealthily infiltrated the house, avoiding alchemical altars and circles. Elsa caught a glimpse of Rapunzel and tried to catch her attention, but quickly moved back in hiding when Sumiko accompanied her.
"I thought you said you'd be rescued?" Sumiko taunted her. "Where are your friends now? Hm?"
"Here," Elsa pinned Sumiko on the wall with countless stabs from ice sickles. The group gathered.
"Rapunzel!" Eugene ran towards her.
"Eugene!" she said gleefully. Eugene cut her free and kissed her passionately. The moment was cut short when Elsa was knocked unconscious with a pole, but the ice pinning down Sumiko remained.
"Elsa!" Anna yelled.
"Stay back!" an alchemist slave lifted his palms to knock everyone away. He cautiously backed up towards Sumiko when Matteo appeared behind him.
"Carmen!" Sumiko tried to warn the alchemist. He turned around to see Matteo stab Sumiko in the throat, and Eugene held back the slave forcefully.
"That won't do much good, bud," Carmen struggled. "She's immortal."
"I know," Matteo said. Her skin lost its life, and the color in her eyes faded. "That's why I dipped the knife in a Death Fruit."
"AUGH!" Carmen screamed. He blasted Eugene with a bright light and wrapped his now freed hands around Matteo's throat. His hands started glowing, and blood spilled out of Matteo's mouth.
"Hey!" GoGo immediately flung a disc into the back of Carmen's head, collapsing him and Matteo. Rapunzel hurried over to check on Matteo while Eugene retrieved his knife from Sumiko's dead throat.
"Flower, gleam and glow. Let your power shine. Make the clock reverse. Bring back what once was mine. Heal what has been hurt. Change the Fates' design. Save what has been lost. Bring back what once was mine."
Elsa's eyelids fluttered open just as Matteo coughed back into consciousness. She gasped and jumped to his side.
"Matteo, are you okay?!" she asked frantically.
"I'm okay. I'm okay," he hugged Elsa and then Rapunzel. "Rapunzel…thank you."
Elsa snapped her fingers and put Carmen in binds.
"Thank you for rescuing me," Rapunzel said brightly.
"And GoGo, I don't know what that plate thing is but it's nifty!" Anna inputted. Hiro and GoGo laughed, and Matteo sat up, Elsa by his side. "What reason did you guys have to chase down Sumiko, anyway?" Anna inquired.
"Well…," Hiro started.
"They're from…somewhere very far away," Rapunzel noted.
"Yes. Where we come from, there's someone we need to stop," GoGo said.
"Only the Death Fruit can stop her," Hiro finished. Matteo reached up for the Death Fruit in which he dipped his dagger and handed it to Hiro.
"Well, I wish you a save journey stopping her."
"Thank you. It's been quite an adventure," Hiro said.
"Well, I think things are wrapped up here, Hiro, are you ready to head back?"
Everyone recuperated and gathered their things. Matteo seared the mark off Carmen's neck to break the spell.
Hiro and GoGo waved back at the group of five as they started their trek back to Baymax with the newly attained Death Fruit. Hiro observed it with a melancholy expression.
"How are we actually going to deliver a fatal blow?" GoGo questioned.
"I guess...dip your sharpened disc in the fruit and hurl it at her face?" Hiro brainstormed.
"Yes, of course. In the midst of all the military chaos."
"Or we simply go to where and when she was caught in Korea. And save all those lives," Hiro countered.
"As long the fabric of reality is intact, sounds peachy."
They had no problem with setting up camp one more night in the woods. They were happy as long as they were together. The next morning, they finally returned to Baymax.
"At last, I think he's fully charged. We can get outta here," Hiro said. They turned the robot on and blasted off eastward.
"Okay, if my calculations are correct, this is the place. Or, rather, it will be," said Hiro. They had been riding for a couple hours.
"Camp 22? So, what, we just waltz on in?" GoGo questioned.
"Quite virtually," Hiro started, "yes."
"Alrighty, then, Reginald."
After equipping their anti-contortion suits, the sky unfolded and the universe prolapsed into a wormhole below them, and they emerged at a heavily guarded, cruel looking prison. The guards present were taken aback by the spectacle, so Hiro and GoGo just took off.
"Baymax, hide and tranquilize. We'll call if we need you," Hiro ordered and turned to GoGo. "Don't worry about gunshots, these suits were made never to be penetrated. Just don't get hit constantly. And avoid missiles," he finished as they ran to the deepest part of the prison. GoGo dipped her disc into the fruit, drenching the weapon in its deadly liquid. She used only the dull one to throw and knock guards unconscious.
"Baymax," GoGo said, approaching the central security unit, "give us a lift." Baymax appeared and lifted the two kids up to drop them in the window. They crashed at the bottom of the tower. There was one smelly, dark, and cruelly tiny cell inside. The girl within it was binded to a chain, her wrists dripping blood. She looked up at the two kids and smiled.
"I don't get company very often here," Zeya said. "What can I help you two kids with?"
She had long, thick black hair, small brown eyes, and dark skin.
Without a word, GoGo hurled the disc at Zeya's throat, and Zeya immediately blocked the disc with her chain, slicing the binds right off. Her wrist burned and wrinkled with deathly intoxication from the impact of the disc. It almost cut her.
Baymax perked up from hiding, sensing his patient was in great danger.
"What is this?!" Zeya shrieked, holding her wrist. GoGo rolled over to her disc but was knocked on her back by a whip of Zeya's chain, penetrating her suit.
"GoGo!" Hiro exclaimed.
"I will not fall by the hands of a couple stupid children," she said before picking up and hurling the disc outside and into the sky. "I am immortal!" Before she could whip GoGo once more, Baymax flew in and lifted them to safety, straight towards their home country.
"I have rescued my patient," Baymax said robotically.
"GoGo, are you alright?! Let me look," Hiro started with worry. He lifted her helmet.
"Hiro, I'm fine," she said. "Don't worry about me, worry about the people in Zeya's path of destruction."
"Damnit. We just sealed the fate of our own timeline. Baymax, where are you taking us?"
"We a- are going to...San- San Fransokyo."
"No!" Hiro jumped. "What if Zeya follows us?! And we're still in the past; Hiro and GoGo from this time cannot know we're here. Just land us on a secluded beach."
"Landing now."
"What are we gonna do?" Hiro asked with paranoia.
"Well, first of all," GoGo started, "you gotta skin that psycho. Then, you're gonna leave me here. My suit is broken, so you have to go back to our time and make another one."
Hiro looked at her with an urgent expression, and she looked back. He then opened a console on Baymax's arm, took out the death fruit, and stuffed it into the tranquilizer gauge.
"Baymax, Zeya should be relatively out in the open," he plotted while shutting the console and adjusting the hardware. "We dive in, lock onto her throat, and tranquilize the shit out of her."
"Trans- fruity is now tranquil," Baymax assured.
"I think he may need to charge," GoGo pointed out.
"Hiro, you are get- ting a Fred from…call,"
They looked at each other half-confused and half-concerned.
"Ignore it," Hiro finally said.
"One v- voicemail," Baymax said weakly before playing it.
"Hiro! Bro, where the heck are you? GoGo hasn't been heard from in a while, either. Look, there's this 'chain killer' named Zeya, and she escaped from a prison in North Korea, the, uh, Camp 22! Apparently she lived through like hundreds of gunshots, and she's on a killing spree with chain whips heading for San-," it was cut off by Baymax deflating.
"The siege," GoGo started.
"Us from this time," said Hiro, "we're in Germany getting the flower."
"And now we're stuck here while a killer rages through Korea. She's gonna hijack that plane. The city's gonna evacuate."
"Anything that's happened...it's happening. By the time we can time travel, we'll already be back in the present."
When Baymax was at last fully charged, he looked up at Hiro and said, "My programming prevents me from harming any human being."
"She is not a human being," he said as he prepared for battle. "Human beings live, and they die. She has to be stopped, and we're the only ones who can stop her. The statistical chances of an immortal doing one thing is one hundred percent for the simple reason that they have all the time in world. If we simply lock her up again, she will get out, and the lives she takes will be on us."
"Well said, nerd," GoGo inputted.
"I have concluded that your reason is sound. However, Zeya's DNA is that of a human. If you would like her terminated, you must remove my medical chip."
"Fine," Hiro said before opening the port and removing the chip. He slipped it into his pocket.
"Alright, let's do this," GoGo said. They put their helmets back on and jumped on the robot's back before taking off towards the most evil human currently in existence. Hiro looked at his watch.
"You and I are currently leaving the city in search for the Death Fruit," he pointed out.
"Looks like we're finally back in the future," GoGo replied.
As they approached San Fransokyo, they saw in the middle of the city all the branches of the military fighting back at the chain killer.
"Prepare the missile disabler," Hiro ordered.
They entered the chaos, and countless missiles fired straight for Baymax, all of which were hastily and individually destroyed by lasers from his eyes. All around were falling firearms. They dove towards their target, and a bullet penetrated Hiro's suit, leaving shrapnel scattered throughout his right shoulder.
"Hiro!" GoGo screamed.
"I'm fine!" he grunted.
"Target locked on...Zeya's throat."
"End this," Hiro ordered. Baymax stuck out his arm, firing countless steel darts at a more violent speed than ever. He stopped firing as soon as multiple darts stuck directly in Zeya's throat.
"Target hit. I can confirm the eradication of...Zeya."
Baymax immediately accelerated upwards, and GoGo looked down to see her collapse.
"Augh," Hiro winced with pain, tearing at his suit.
"Baymax, get us out of here!" GoGo ordered.
His acceleration blew the medical chip out into the air. He flew them at the speed of sound to a remote island near Japan. When he landed, Hiro was already sweating and bleeding severely. GoGo lifted him off of the robot and set him down on the ground.
"Baymax, help him," GoGo ordered.
"I just did," he said, at a loss.
"Jacket pocket," Hiro said wearily. She searched for the chip to no avail.
"It's nowhere!" she said, continuing to ransack Hiro's suit. He let his his head down and passed out.
"Hiro?" she grabbed his face. "Hiro!"
Just then, helicopters crowded above and blinded them with spotlights.
"This is the Global Police Force ordering you to stand down immediately. You are under arrest. I repeat, stand down."
