Hello everyone! Don't got much to say so let's just get to the comments and then the chapter!

Kiki Anderson: Thank you very much Alpha might surprise you this chapter.

Dragon lover: Thank you so much and yes I am feeling much better though I still have a cough. Hiro and Alpha got more this chapter and yes you are right intensity is coming soon.

Rosycat: Honestly I had last chapter planned out since the first chapter of the story. I knew I wanted that moment of Hiro and Alpha getting along but the part of her helping him was a twist I added thought it would be sweet.

I do not own Big Hero 6 except Inu, Alpha, mec-hounds and Elizabeth

Chapter 25: Is That You?

"Tadashi calm down." Honey said as she watched Tadashi scurry like a cockroach caught in the light. Ever since they had arrived at Fred's house, Tadashi had been frantically trying to get his super suit on. Even in the car ride there he kept whispering things under his breath, 'how it was all his fault' and 'how he should be a better brother to Hiro.' The team understood his motives and understood the heavy weight of guilt that truthfully hung on all their shoulders. Yet, Tadashi did not seem to understand that. As he passed by yet again carrying one of his shoulder pieces, he whispered softly,

"What have I done?"

Tadashi had no reason to think like that. The team watching him figured that he had multiple voices telling him off within his head but all the voices belonged to him. No one else would ever blame Tadashi, they would never hold him accountable for the horrible things that have happened but to Tadashi, he was the root of it all.

"Tadashi man, calm down at least we know where the little man is." Fred tried to reason as he slipped one leg into his monster suit. Tadashi in turn just grumbled under his breath causing Fred and the others to sigh some what in defeat. Minutes passed by as Tadashi, Honey and Fred got ready in complete silence, no words were exchanged in those minutes that passed. Instead everyone was lost in their own minds seeing of how they could go about this mission. The silence seemed to calm some of the nerves that boiled and clawed within them, except one.

Gogo and Wasabi had been sitting on the couch the whole time, watching their friends get ready for the coming fight. Gogo however, was itching to throw her suit on and join them. She hated being left out, feeling like a total waste and invaluable to the team. The thought consumed her mind, she wanted to help, she still could! But before she could get up and speak her mind, another thought came, her brows frowning at it. 'This is how Hiro feels.' Thinking to herself she finally understood.

Hiro was the start of it all. He was the one who came up with the idea of Big Hero 6. He was the one who took the time to study each one of their individual projects, to make them into heroes. Even Tadashi's suit was taken from Hiro's own journal. Everything that they do and stand for was all because of Hiro. His drive and passion to carry on what his brother believed in, made all of this possible. Gogo let out a huff of air, 'Now he feels useless to the team.' She thought to herself, now understanding the heavy weight that sat on his and her heart. Hiro created all of this, put his heart and soul into it, but know..

"He feels unwanted." Gogo's sudden words made everyone freeze, even Tadashi stopped to look at her.

"W-what?" Tadashi stuttered, shock painted his face. Why would she say that?

"Hiro, he feels unwanted in the team." Gogo repeated herself adding just a few more words. Tadashi shook his head, not wanting to believe that his brother would ever feel that way.

"W-why would you even say that...it's not funny." His voice got louder as he said every word, his fist clenched together so tight they turned paper white. "Hiro knows we all love him and want him to get better, why would you say HE FEELS UNWANTED!" His shouts echoed through the whole room, striking a fearful cord within his friends. Looking to Gogo with an icy glare he spoke again, "HUH?! Why would you say that?!" He hissed through clenched teeth.

"BECAUSE!" Gogo yelled in return as she quickly stood up from the couch and took a single step forward.

"That's not an answer." Tadashi retorted.

"Because...Because he HEARD US TALKING ALRIGHT!" Gogo's hair fell in front of her face, she growled and quickly tucked the strands behind her ear, "Because he probably heard us talking! Hiro feels as if he is now unwanted in the group. He feels as if he will never recover fully and that he is a useless asset to the team!"

"Hiro would nev-"

"Shut up Hamada and let me finish." She pointed a finger at him with her uninjured hand and tucked her slinged arm tightly against her chest. Looking to everyone else, "Why do you think he went there? He wants to prove himself, show that he can still fight alongside us." She calmed down a bit and turned back to Tadashi. "Tadashi we know how you feel, Hiro is our brother to. But Hiro...you know how he can get."

Tadashi looked down to his feet, contemplating on Gogo's words. She was right. Gogo could see the sorrow, worry and love within Tadashi's eyes. He cared for Hiro dearly, just like they all did. Tadashi let out a heavy sigh as his shoulders slacked down. "Gogo you're right." All eyes fell on to Tadashi. "Hiro...I love him so much, if he was not here...I don't know what I would do." His eyes grew glossy with his words, wiping his eyes before the tears could fully form with his hand he continued. "Yes, Hiro can be so thick headed and one minded but I..we love him no matter what."

Gogo crossed her uninjured arm around her sling, satisfied with the realization as she sat back down next to Wasabi. Sharing a smile, Honey, Tadashi and Fred quickly got the rest of their suits on before saying their goodbyes to their two injured teammates and making their leave. "Yeah! Rescue mission! This is just like in my comics where-" Gogo was so happy when they shut the door and Fred's voice became an incoherent mumble. Turning her head to Wasabi,

"Let's watch the news so we can keep an eye on all them." Reaching for the remote, Gogo quickly turned on the news. As the TV flickered to life and they changed to the channel 6 news the cameras showed police scattered around the campus building but not one made an attempt to enter in fear of what may lay inside. The camera made a quick turn showing the reporter. "Reports just came in that Inu has another hostage, who though is unknown." Gogo and Wasabis eyes widen.

Inu's stance was stiff as he fiddled his thumbs behind his back. Fearful eyes watched out the window as officials aimed their guns at the building. Taking deep breath Inu tried to keep the growing fear buried deep within. His prisoner sat behind him in the shadows of the room and Inu didn't want to be seen as weak.

Though Alistair's mind was to clouded for him to think. There he sat in his chair with his wrists rubbed raw from the scratchy rope that contained him and his shoulders were sore from the tight ropes wrapped numerous times around his body. Krei huffed to himself, knowing he had slim chances of coming out of this alive but their was still a thread of hope. One that even the man who stands guarding him did not know of. Yet, that chance was small. Letting out another helpless breath Krei hung his head down, guilt coursing through his veins as he thought silently to himself. This was all his fault.

Not just with Inu's circumstances but with Callaghan as well. Remembering back to that day on Akuma island, before things went horribly wrong, before the whole presentation to the general, Alistair remembered how Callaghan and himself used to be good friends, in fact, how they use to be college roommates. Both were big dreamers but Callaghan had all the ideas. Going farther into his memories, Krei thought back to the project Callaghan had done for the showcase for SFIT. He remembered how Callaghan had created an amazing piece about magnetic servos, the project still had work on it that over time could improve it but none the less it was an inspirational piece of tech.

Callaghan had won the scholarship to SFIT leaving himself to pay his way through but he didn't complain. Through the years the two had grown closer, as if brothers. Both graduated in the same class but soon their passions drove them apart. Callaghan stayed at the school to become a professor and soon after joining the school he released 'Callaghans laws of robotics', his tech and himself moving on to inspire new generations of students. As for Krei himself, he became a successful businessman, buying and selling inventions off to companies around the globe.

The two friends stayed in contact but once they got the offer to work on Project Silent Sparrow, that's when things fell apart. The day of the accident, when Krei was staring at the distorted portal, the one that just consumed half the room, Krei realized what he had done. Yelling erupted from behind him as the general held back Callaghan. His words struck a deep cored with Krei. He didn't just lose thousands on the project that day, they didn't just lose Abigail, no, he lost a brother and his best friend.

Krei let out a heavy sigh as his mind came back to the situation he was in. Sorrowful eyes looked up to Inu, watching him as he watched the word play out before him. What once was a bright young man with a brighter future waiting for him, was now a broken down boy. Lost between reality and the lies he told himself. He did this.

"I-I'm sorry."

Those two words got Inu to turn around, the light that seeped through the window reflecting off his broken pilot goggles that lay atop his head. Inu looked to him with hateful brown eyes, Krei's words not fazing him at all. Inu's brow fell, his hands becoming tight fists at his sides. Slowly Inu began to walk toward him, listening to his steps thud on the carpet.

Alistair watched as the young man walked around him three times as if he was examining him. Maybe Inu was getting a change of heart, maybe he was thinking to let him go! But that thought quickly died as Inu reached out and firmly grasped Krei's collar, bringing their faces close. The chair he was tied in now teetered on the front two legs, with Inu's grip on him balancing it out. Fear consumed him at the sudden force, his eyes going wide at the man that stood inches from him. Krei now so close could see the panic demeanor hidden under all that anger. Inu's eyes still burned an angry blaze but within that fire, Krei could see fear, insecurity and a sense of loss within the man.

Inu's hold tightened around Krei's neck causing him to choke at the sudden loss of air. He struggled in the man's tighten grip, his restraints though still held him firmly. His mind grew foggy, his vision blurring slightly, was this it? Inu let a twisted grin spread on his face as he watched the traitorous man struggle in his hold. Letting out a light chuckle, Inu threw Krei back, his body jerked at the pure force of it and almost made him fall backwards in his chair. The motion though as fast as it came stopped, making Krei cough, the chair standing on all fours once again.

Krei hung his head low trying to catch his breath, his chest tight with nerves and his fear sent shivers down his spine. This man was crazy. Inu watched as Krei collected himself, but the fear he could see, the shivers and his low untimed breaths sent joy through him. The man who made him suffer, made him lose everything he once held so dear was finally in pain himself. His shoulders bounced slightly at the laughter that began to bubble within him, the sound making Krei look up to see Inu holding his stomach to control his laughing fit. "You think it'll be that easy?!" Inu said between gasps of air. Krei looked to him, worry and fear being the mixture of feelings that coursed through his veins.

Inu stumbled slightly as he waltzed back up to Krei, placing a hand on the back rest of the chair and staring the man dead in the eyes. Letting the last of his giggles out he peered at Krei with amusement, his damsel in distress looking back to him with an almost 'deer in the headlights' look.

Alistar's fear was at it's highest. It gripped his heart and constricted his lungs. His mind a full frenzy of thoughts and things to come. Krei trembled as he looked into the eyes of his captor and realized they had changed. No longer did fear lay hidden behind them but amusement and a twisted sense of joy. "P-please Micko." Krei stuttered as his lungs constricted yet again.

Inu opened his mouth to speak but he stopped at the sound of Omega growling outside the closed door. Turning his head he listen closely. The sound of muffled gears and plates clinking together softly echoed through the room assumably meaning Omega stood up. Another deep growl could be heard coming from the beast but then another chimed in. Their growls were powered by the engine that laid within, power and strength followed the new set of growls. Inu stood from Krei and faced the door, his thoughts trying to confirm what he was hearing.

A booming bark made Inu take a step back. He looked slightly over his shoulder and found Krei the same as him, confused, but Krei had more fear in his eyes. Just then a bang rang out. Screeching feet and gears could be heard just beyond the door.

Alpha shrieked as she jammed her daggered nails into Omegas head. Omega whimpered in return and jerked back, breaking off her new face platting. Both hounds took a step back as they watched the now mangled piece of metal clang on the ground. Omega huffed and lifted her head to Alpha and then to the boy standing behind her. Her programming told her to kill, to keep fighting till there was nothing left of the two but Omega faught. In short time, Omega came to respect Alpha, to follow her commands and orders but...the Alpha that stood before her seemed different.

Alpha took a step forward threatening Omega once again. Shaking her head Omega growled back, she may have grown respect for Alpha but the boy she was protecting had no right. Leaning back on her hunches Omega roared before springing forward and slamming herself into Alpha. They both took a hit as they fell to the marble floors, their body's skidding to a halt. Quickly Alpha got on her feet and bit Omega, sinking her drill-bit teeth deep into her neck. Positioning herself, Alpha stumbled a bit as Omega flailed in her hold as petty attempts to free herself.

Omega cried and yipped, her eyes flashing on and off, sparks shooting from her neck. Her paws scratched the floors leaving deep marks. Her engine roared as it tried to give her more power, but all attempts were futile. Alpha bit down hard, creeks of metal could be heard along with popping gears. With one last bite Alpha pulled back and threw Omega against the wall. Though as Omega laid on the ground she still lifted her head, the struggle couldn't be more real as her head teetered back and forth holding on by only a few wires.

Alpha growled and snapped down her jaw again, lifting Omega and throwing her against the wall. The bangs echoed down the hall as Alpha slammed the pup again and again. The wall soon started to give way, exposing the building's frame and installation. With one final swing, Omega went flying, not against the wall but down the lengthy hallway. Her body clanged and screeched against the marble floors as the pieces fell. Coming to a halt, Omega's body was in ruin. Wires lay exposed, plating warped and her gears bent to acute angles. Alpha watched as the pups eyes flickered, trying to reboot but it was useless.

One last flicker and her eyes went black, her engine went silent and her bark went mute. All that remained of Omega was the mangled body. Alpha stood with pride, stomping her foot once on the marble floor to call her victory. With one last look at the fallen hound Alpha turned but abruptly stopped. The boy behind her laid on the ground, his body trembling. His eyes were painted with fear as sweat dripped down his pale face. Alpha's programming kicked in and she remembered what she had done to this boy weeks ago, the pain, the fear, the trauma she imbedded into his mind.

Alpha took careful steps, each one timed and silent as she walked to the boy. His eyes watched her every move, his body flinching at every step she took but he did not run, he did not leave. His body was wracked with muffled sobs and painful shivers but he knew he could not leave, he didn't want to be considered weak. Alpha now stood above him, slowly inching her head down to him. He however let out a whimper of fear as he inched his body back. Ignoring the shooting pain in his arms, stomach and legs as he tried to shuffle backwards but Alpha stopped him. She gently bit his shirt holding it in her teeth just enough to cease his movements.

His hot breath danced off her plated head, the steam dissipating in mere seconds. Letting go of his shirt, Alpha moved her head down to his hand, rubbing her muzzle against it. His heart hammered in his chest, his fear overpowering his thoughts. He wanted to run but everything that his friends and brother said would then be true. He had to prove himself. Something bumped his hand again and his head shot down to Alpha nudging it. Letting out a shaky breath he lifted his hand and Alpha in return put her head underneath. Patting the beast's head, Hiro found himself calming down. His breath started to even out, his heart slowing, and his mind making coherent thoughts. Letting out one last breath, Hiro's body relaxed.

Lifting her head Alpha looked to Hiro and Hiro back to her. This was a beast, a murderous monster that tried to kill him so many times, why did she change now? Everything she did was for her master, was based from her programming. Why would she have a change of mind? Why would she be wanting to help him and protect him? Alpha's sudden movement broke Hiro from his thoughts again as he then watched her lean her head down and up against his chest. The top of her head laid against him and she gently rubbed. Hiro's eyes were wide but a smile spread on his lips as he wrapped his arms around her.

Their they sat. Boy and beast. Once bitter enemies, now friends.

"Alpha?"

Inus muffled voice came through the door and both Hiro and Alpha slightly looked to the door but didn't break each others hold.

"Alpha is that you girl?"

Again Inus voice came through. Neither wanted to part but they let each other go and looked to the door. Alpha turned and looked to Hiro and Hiro nodded to her. Helping him back up they turned to look at the door that sat feet in front of them. Taking a deep breathe Hiro lifted his head,

"Here we go."

This chapter was really fun to write may I just say, especially the part with Hiro and Alpha! Just as a heads up the reason why this finale battle is lasting so long is because honestly I'm really sad that it's coming to an end. I don't want it to! Well that's how I feel but I know that it must at some point (but not next chapter don't worry). Favorite, follow, comment, you guys know what to do!
