Over the next week. Hiro got to building superhero suits for the gang. GoGo got a suit that utilized her anti-gravity wheels as both weapons and for transport. Wasabi got armor that utilized his plasma fields as weapons... think Wolverine if he had OCD, and no tragic backstory... and was a buffalo rather then a wolverine. Honey Lemon's suit... I'm not sure what was put into her suit, but she was given a purse that held a miniature chemical lab, that could be used to create whatever chemical combination she would need. Fred's walker suit was just modified to allow him to jump high... and enhanced strength... and also breath fire, not sure if it's a good idea to give him that, but I'm not the one making the suits. Babemax... whoa nelly does that red suit cut the figure on him... anyway. And Hiro made a suit for himself... that I think just allows him to magnetically attach to the back of Babemax's armor.

All the while, while Hiro and the others were practicing with there new equipment. A certain Spirit Guardian was badgering me about how cool they looked... and complaining about how he didn't get a suit of armor. "First Olaf. You already have quite an arsenal of light magic weaponry. Second, mom and dad will inevitably learn about this, so they might as well not have to worry about us. And third... I believe you're ignoring the real reason Hiro is putting all this effort into this project."

"To fight a bad guy?" Olaf said.

"More or less... but what I'm getting at is that this whole thing is motivated by revenge," I said. "That Yokai guy MIGHT be responsible for the fire that killed Tadashi. And he is using Hiro's micro-bots for his own ends."

"He also tried to kill us." Olaf pointed out.

"True..." Pandora said. "But still, Zootopia has plenty of figures that could handle this mess."

"I still want a suit of armor like there's," Olaf complained.

I just rolled my eyes.

Thanks to the enhanced scanners that Hiro gave Babemax, we found a lead on Yokai. Specifically, he was on an island off the coast. One that, according to my research, was home to a research facility, but it had been abandoned years ago. Hiro and the others went in, while Olaf and I stayed home to monitor them.

"Wow... this is so BORING!" Olaf complained.

"Just keep an eye on their vitals like I asked," I said as I looked at the live feeds from the helmets that Hiro and friends were wearing.

"Hmm..." Olaf grunted. "Babemax doesn't even have vitals... less than Elizabeth," Olaf grumbled, then as if on cue. Elizabeth, the robot rabbit I made when I was ten entered the room.

"I made snacks guys!" Elizabeth said in her typically cheerful tone as she held a tray with fruit salad and roasted bugs.

"Thanks, Elizabeth," Olaf said as he took his fruit salad. "I will never understand how you can eat that stuff." He said in disgust.

"We're not having this argument again," I said. "We're in the middle of something more important then you disapproving of my eating habits." I then turned my focus to the monitors. Hiro and the others entered the abandoned facility. They quickly found signs of Krei Tech... mainly their logo, but that was enough for Fred to start going off about how he was right that this was all Krei's doing.

"Give it a rest Fredrickson!" Olaf complained. "Krei does come off as slick and untrustworthy. But I'm certain that if he wanted the micro-bots. He'd pay people to get them for him if he couldn't buy the rights to make them."

"Agreed, just keep looking for clues before jumping to conclusions. Our mystery mammal is on the island." I said. "Uh... Babemax, is Yokai still on the island?"

"Yes, Yokai has not left this island," Babemax confirmed. The team moved further into the facility and found some footage on a computer. This facility was made to house a prototype wormhole gate. Much like the one, our neighbor Professor Iatrans made when Olaf and I were babies... though thankfully this one didn't bring in xenophobic weirdoes from another universe.

The thing that caught my eye was the fact that Camalhan was working with Krei on this, Project Sparrow thing... and that he had a daughter that I never heard about. Well during the testing of the gates. Due to a technical problem that could have been avoided if Krei had exercised a little bit of patience. Camalhan's daughter, Abigail was lost in whatever dimension the portal used to work as a form of transport.

"Well... this is a bit of an eyeopener," I said as the footage showed Camalhan angrily confronting Krei over the entire incident. Eventually, however, Hiro and the others found Yokai, it was an intense fight as they used there gadgets and equipment to fight him. And despite Yokai's microbots. Hiro managed to knock off his mask... and reveal a terrible secret. "Camelhan!?" I said in surprise as I saw his face on Hiro and Babemax's feeds.

Then Camelhan explained what happened. He broke into the lab where the micro-bots were being kept, a fire started. But he protected himself with Hiro's micro-bots from the explosion. His motivation for this? To get revenge on Alister Krei for his daughter's apparent death... though of course, I pieced this puzzle together as soon as I saw his face.

And when Hiro told him that Tadashi died trying to save him. Camalhan just brushed it off... that was when Hiro snapped. "Babemax... KILL HIM!" He yelled, and I admit. I was surprised by Hiro. I mean yes, he did get Tadashi killed. But it was an accident... one that he should pay for certainly for being responsible for causing. But killing him is a step too far-

"Pan could you stop blanking off into space and look!?" Olaf interrupted my train of thought. But before I could chastise him... I saw Hiro remove Babemax's personality chip. The one that contained his AI. Now all Babemax has was the combat programming that Hiro made for him... and that my heart sank.

"Oh my goodness!" Elizabeth said, realizing the significance of what Hiro just did. "Why would Hiro do something like that?!"

"Because it's as I feared... all of this was motivated by revenge," I said in resignation. "Putting Babemax in armor, refusing the obvious answer to settle all of this, even indulging in this costumed super heroing..." I explained. "THIS was why I was insistent on not getting directly involved," I said in disappointment. Thankfully the others weren't onboard with killing Camalhan and spent the time trying to stop Babemax then pursue Camalhan.

"Can't we do anything to help them?" Elizabeth pleaded. "Like... maybe remotely hack Babemax?"

"No, we can't. Babemax's internal systems are too remote for me to hack into with this setup... and besides. It's grossly unethical, even if it would be in everyone's interests." I said. "And besides, the team... there handling him." And indeed, the team was making headway on restoring Babemax to his normal self.

It was chaotic as they looked for his personality chip, and restrained him. But they got the chip back into Babemax. "Hello. I am Babemax. Your personal healthcare companion."

I could hear Hiro fuming over the com system. He then took flight on Babemax. "Hiro... do you even notice what you're becoming?" I said in resignation over the com system.

Several hours later, Olaf, Elizabeth and I arrived at Hiro's place. Mostly to give him a piece of my mind for him losing his mind... an idea that went straight down the toity when we saw him sobbing into Babemax's chest. As footage played of Tadashi's attempts to getting Babemax to work... including a memorable incident where Olaf and I went flying on Babemax's inflatable arms.

But eventually, Hiro got to the last video. "Hiro..." I said as we stepped into the garage proper. "I know that you're in pain... and that your grieving for Tadashi," I said cautiously. Knowing that anything I could say would end up upsetting him. "But... but revenge won't bring him back. Nor will it help you to feel any better."

"Revenge is not but a cancer that eats away at the very soul... both mortal, and immortal," Olaf said solemnly... and he should know himself.

Then the others arrived. "Tadashi... he wouldn't want this. He wouldn't want to kill Camalhan." Hiro sobbed as I hugged him.

"Let it out, big guy," I said.

"There, there," Babemax said he also took us up in a hug.

"Now... can we do what I wanted to do in the first place?" I asked.

Hiro thought for a moment. "Why... why not both?" There was the boy genius I knew.
