Alarms sang out a wailing harmony from the main building.
"What just happened? Are we caught?" Wasabi asked frantically.
"Riley's gone! She fell into the lights!" Honey Lemon shouted over him in panic.
"Get the time machine and we can undo it." Lewis urged hyperventilating.
"Keep up boys we need to move now." Go go rushed forward as she spoke. Tadashi and Hiro followed close behind her. The hanger door was still closed so they had to resort to plan B. Hiro threw a small robot at the door that cut the center of the door away from the edges. The door fell away from itself with a loud crash. Smoke billowed out from the opening so thick that none of them could see more than a foot inside.
"Guys this suit isn't airtight!" Penny coughed into the radio, "Smokes filling up the suit."
"Get out of there!" Hiro shouted, "We can take care of this."
"What about the people in here?" Wilbur coughed.
"Dash and I will get them now get out now!" Violet ordered.
Hiro and Tadashi had to roll out of the way from the careening suit that charged blindly outside. Fred bounded over the fence in seconds to open the panel on their suit, "I've got you guys; just breathe."
Tadashi, Hiro, and Go go charged into the smoke. The Kabuki masks inner circuitry let them breathe and see further with a combination of UV and infrared lights but the visibility was still terrible. Most of the researchers were unconscious on the ground from the heavy smoke. One person was still up but was moving away from them. Dash zipped past them carrying an unconscious researcher.
"In and out we have five minutes at best." Tadashi reminded them.
Abigail ran to the little girl that fell out from the lights. She was unconscious either from the impact of lack of oxygen. Abigail picked her up and rushed her out of the hangar. She set the girl down in the mostly clear hallway and ran back for her coworkers. Something shot past her barely as little more than a red streak. Another girl appeared in a red and black costume her head slightly distorted by a translucent fishbowl.
"Where did you come from?" Abigail demanded in shock, "This is dangerous-"
"Less talking; more pulling!" The girl snapped dragging two researchers away from the smoke without stopping.
Abigail snapped back to her self and set back to rescuing her coworkers. Questions could come after everyone was safe. She pulled the last of her coworkers she could see out of the smoke and took a count of the unconscious coworkers.
"Isthateveryone?" A boy asked wearing a gas mask and matching red outfit.
"We're still missing one one of our interns and and the alien in the big suit." Abigail answered.
"Gotitbye". The boy vanished on a blur of red reappearing seconds later with the missing intern. "Sorryforthemessbye." The boy vanished again after scooping up the mysterious girl and vanished into the smoke.
"What is happening? Who are you?" Abigail demanded from the girl still standing in the hall. Her weird fishbowl helmet nowhere to be seen.
"Sorry I don't have time to stick around and explain." The girls head was enveloped in a translucent bubble again then she vanished entirely.
The door opened to the hangar and a hole in the smoke opened up in the shape of a running bobble head. Abigail chased after her. She ran right outside the building nearly losing her footing on the hangar door laying useless on the ground. She stared in shock at the group of oddly dressed people loading the partially disassembled craft into a truck. Abigail sprinted for the truck. Emergency sirens set the group of thieves into a panic. They scrambled to load the ship faster.
Abigail ran straight past a man in a kabuki mask and jumped into the truck. She scrambled through the truck to Bolt the alien. He sat motionless in the corner behind his ship. Abigail crawled over the top of the ship to Bolt.
"Bolt are you alright?"
The truck doors slammed closed with a loud crash and the truck began moving. Abigail caught hold of Bolt's shoulder to steady herself. Bolts helmet fell away from his shoulders revealing the empty space within the suit.
"What on earth?"
Wasabi drove the semi truck out from the alley, "Did we get everything?"
"Just drive." Go go urged from the passenger seat.
"If we leave something behind the police could find us." Wasabi insisted.
"We'll handle it, just get the time machine far away from here." Hiro assured them.
Wasabi bit his lip but kept driving. Tadashi threw the van into gear and drove off after the truck. Violet gave Riley first aid from the back. Her eyes looked good so no concussion she wasn't bleeding anywhere either.
"Riley's Ok just unconscious." Violet announced.
"Oh thank goodness." Honey Lemon sank back relieved.
"Is it me or are these weird light phenomenon following us?" Tadashi asked.
The car was silent.
Carl landed the Spirit on the makeshift airstrip as directed by the flying robots directing them. "Russell, Mrs. Sohn wait here for a moment. Dogs! We are about to have guests, no biting anyone yet."
Carl shuffled his way to the door wringing his hands. Beta Gamma and Former Alpha surrounded him without his request. "There are strangers at the door Master."
"Yeah we're here to bark at them if you need us."
Carl gave each of them a scratch on the ears, "Your good dogs but don't bite anyone."
"Yes Master!" They chanted in unison.
Carl dropped the portable gangplank with the pull of a lever. Something metal banged on the outer hatch. The dogs growled at the noise. Carl opened the door cautiously. A yellow box sat in front of the door shaking. A pair of binoculars slid out the top followed by tractor treads and mechanical arms.
"Heh? What is this thing?" Carl grumbled leaning down to get a closer look.
"Whal-eEE!" the box announced extending out a claw and taking Carl's hand.
"That was incredible! We totally pulled off the perfect heist!" Dash shouted jumping and spinning.
"Perfect? We nearly killed a dozen people!" Violet snapped.
Dash ground to a halt, "Ah come on we save all of them. Besides that part wasn't on purpose right?"
Tadashi shook his head holding Honey Lemon close, she was crying, "No," her breath caught in her throat, "we were only going to throw ONE in the hanger to chase everyone out with smoke not drop FIFTEEN in a closed room with poor ventilation if you two hadn't- people would be- I would have."
Tadashi pulled her into a tighter hug, "Its not your fault you said it yourself. Those were meant for open air use."
"The patient Riley will make a full recovery soon." Baymax confirmed from the couch, "Her spine and occipital bone have no lasting damage and may display minor bruising lasting a few days at most."
"Thank you Baymax." Honey lemon said breathlessly, "I was really worried about her."
"I too am concerned her mind is showing unusual activity that my scanners cannot quantify I would like to give further examination when she has awakened."
"If you thi-
Something crashed inside the truck. Everyone froze. Bolt sniffed the door to the truck then pointed at it. Penny pulled the latch open and let the door fly up.
Abigail pumped out pointing the fire extinguisher at them, "Who are you people?"
"Whoa! Where did you come from?" Hiro shouted.
"I'm asking the questions here! Why did you attack us? What did you do to Bolt?" Abigail shouted, "Are those children?"
"Drop the weapon!" Bolt barked.
Abigail jumped in surprise and sprayed the fire extinguisher at Bolt.
Green lasers shot from Bolt's eyes surprising everyone especially him. The fire extinguisher exploded in her hands. Violet threw out a force field around Abigail to protect everyone else from the shrapnel. Pink purple and blue smoke filled the force field then condensed back around Abigail covering her in brightly colored fractals swirling around her suit in a wild tie dye. The hazy smoke held the shattered metal and plastic in a floating freeze frame.
"What is happening?" Lewis asked stepping in closer and adjusting his glasses.
"She's a Super." Violet answered in shock.
"I think they both are." Dash added looking to Riley.
