Big Hero 7 S3
*At the depths of Madame Nozako's laboratory, the old madame is reviewing over her successful projects in all her files. While half of her mind is focused on which method to proceed with her successful projects, the other half resided on her Granddaughter and her superhero friends. She must admit, their skills as supers had improved and they were more receptive to any clues they had; but she had also noted that the places surrounding the city had yet to be properly visited by the girl, that each attack from Noodle Burger Boy along with his trio of robotic fast food mascots had been less successful on destroying the team and therefore endanger Cora 'properly'. Hearing about a collapse that had trapped the superheroes and the bot had at best made the Madame groan in disappointment and at worst with indifference. The girl should have been scared, not killed. The reason they all remain standing is that they were all amusing as jesters in a show. And she hadn't gotten a proper laugh in a while. Still... how is she to scare the girl to the point where Cora believes that her friends and the boy could not protect her or even assure her of their bond?*
Lenny: A penny for your thoughts my Madame?
*Her gaze turned to Lenny, holding a cup of green tea along with pills on a tray. Carefully, she sits down to her chair, taking her pills and drinking her tea afterward.*
Lenny: Remember. The doctor says you must have at least three cups of tea in the morning, and three at night. Along with your vitamins.
Nozako: *Sighs* Of course... each day I could feel my bones ache despite my enhancements.
*Lenny spared a glance at her hands. He admitted, there was a mixture of morbidity and beauty of her hands; they were aged and thin to the point where he could see the skeletal frame that makes up her hands, and adding to that is the metallic wires joining her veins and even outside her skin as to ensure an increase of white blood cells and nutrients for her body. And her long, black, fingernails extending like claws. All this, which would make many repulsed, would also fascinate them as they could only compare the appearance of an elegant yet monstrous predator ready to strike their claws at any moment, and wonder who would be their unfortunate victim.*
Nozako: Even if I make it to this year's end I doubt I would complete even half of my lessons with my grandchild.
Lenny: It does appear that being Big Hero 7 for nearly a year had only strengthened their resolve of being together, especially the heir with the boy. No matter what outward threat to the city and themselves appears they would only stand their ground.
Nozako:... Perhaps an external threat that would terrorize them to their core isn't enough... A more personal foe from their civil identities would be something to rattle them. *Looks at Hiro's picture* This boy is precious to her, so someone that is not only his opposite but a threat to them would suffice.*To Lenny* Go through the files of San Fransokyo, including records from SFIT. I want you to search for a child who is mean as the boy is kind... as two-faced as the boy is Honest... as selfish as the boy is giving. A child with a cold, egotistical heart with an equally cold and egotistical soul that would lash out should their pride be wounded by even the smallest offense.
*Lenny gets up and starts searching through the files of the city, checking through each data until he found something. And upon reading the file, his smile became cruel.*
Lenny: I believe I have found our candidate, my Madame...
*At San Fransokyo during the day, the whole gang is hanging out at Fred's room; includingTadashi, Miyuki, and Esme. They were all doing their thing when Miyuki finds something on Animator's Gallery.*
Miyuki: Uh... Guys? You might want to look at this.
Tadashi: What is it?
*The whole gang turns their attention to Miyuki as she shows her phone.*
Miyuki: Looks like Karmi made her fanfic to a webtoon. She calls it Big Chibi Seven. And from the looks of it, it's growing pretty popular.
Gogo: *pops bubblegum* OK.
Miyuki: It's cute in a way... *eyebrows furrow in concern* Although what she did with me is a little...
*They see a clip of one of the episodes where Chibi!Ice-Frost is held captive by Mr. Sparkles but is soon forced under a love spell.*
Fred: Well.. that was a bit disturbing... I think we've seen about enough.
Miyuki: *turning off phone* Agreed.
*They all turn their attention back to their activities, much to the slight confusion of Esme.*
Esme: Something I missed? Last I heard they were kinda all over that fanfic.
Honey Lemon: Well, we were... but in hindsight, praising her fanfic while ignoring our friends' comfort during the whole debacle was not a good move on all our ends.
Tadashi: *slightly glares at his friends* You betcha.
*Overtime, the gang had to also share their experiences with Karmi and what they had done whenever she was with Hiro and Cora. Needless to say, Tadashi was not very pleased to learn that they pushed aside his little brother's and his girlfriend's comfort and well being to praise a 16-year-old bully. But they did get off with a warning since the gang had long disassociated with the former biotech student, especially during the Sycorax Wedding disaster and what Karmi was about to do before she was expelled.*
Esme: OK, I know this girl was a massive brat but did something else happen?
*Miyuki whispers into Esme's ear what had happened back then and immediately, the fashion major's eyes widened in shock.*
Esme: She tried to what?!
Miyuki: Considering that she bullied Hiro regardless of Tadashi's legacy back at SFIT, it is sad to know that what she tried to do to Cora would not be out of character.
Esme: Oh no... *To Cora* Oh Cora, you poor baby!
*She then hugs Cora from behind, who yelps in surprise before she speaks to Esme.*
Cora: Esme, it's OK.
Esme: No it's not OK! I can't believe she would do that! And I'm sorry that my association would-
Hiro: It's alright! It's fine! She didn't go through with it because Granville caught her in the act!
*Then Hiro turns to Cora and holds her.*
Hiro: And that finally lead to her being expelled. It also helped that Cora's video diaries relating to Karmi helped show what kind of person she really is.
Cora: And last I heard, she moved out of the city. Professor Granville says it's cause her parents were worried about her safety, but considering that at that time Diane and Liv were exposed for criminal activity, illegal experimentation, and basically selling the biotech equivalent of snake oil, it may have more to do with her reputation than her safety.
Gogo: Agreed. Most people like her would run away than face further consequences.
Fred: Yeah. And most antagonists like her in comics would never try to return! Unless they had to by popular demand, which would then go to either way.
Esme: Like?
Fred: Either they get a moment of redemption and everyone would automatically forgive them despite their bullying behavior... or they would receive a long-overdue case of karmic humiliation.
Tadashi: Not like comics, Fred. Even still, if she does show her face back here... I would not keep my eye off her, especially if she's near Hiro and Cora...
*And that's when his clenched fist starts to steam, to which Miyuki is quick to hold it and cool it down; something that Tadashi notices and blushes in slight embarrassment.*
Hiro: I appreciate your words Tadashi, but I think Cora and I could handle her on our own.
Cora: Yeah. Sure, back when it happened I was pretty scared... but that was in the past! We faced bigger threats than her! Like, admittedly Hardlight was a challenge, but we beat him in our own game, so handling an old bully should be a cakewalk.
*From Kei Tech's laboratory, Ian had just finished watching the first episode of Big Chibi 7.*
Ian: Well, I think its time for...
*Ian turns his attention to a drawer where he puts in his code and reveals not only the candid photos of Miyuki along with newspaper clippings of Ice-Frost, but the whole gear of his villainous alter ego: Hard-light.*
Ian: Hardlight to return! Along with round two of getting my ice princess!
*He closes the drawer as he turns off the video, his evil grin permeating through his face... something Lois Carter, Kei's assistant, had briefly noticed before Ian faked a cough.*
Ian: Oh! Lois! Umm... I was just thinking of that Slow-clap cat video! Still charming as ever!
Lois: If you say so...
*The assistant walks away, leaving Ian to once again smile in his upcoming plan to strike Big Hero 7 and get his Ice-Princess once and for all. As of while the two teens are at the cafe where they see Megan walk into the cafe.*
Hiro: Megan!
Cora: Hi!
Megan: What up!
*Megan takes a seat with them as Baymax waddles over to them.*
Cora: You're looking really well! How's your grandpa doing?
Megan: Thanks, Cora! And Grandpa's fine, thanks for asking. How are you guys' summer?
Hiro: Pretty good.
Megan: Even with all the superhero stuff?
Cora: Kinda. Aside from being trapped underground, I would say it's been a piece of cake so far.
Megan: Cool. Anyway, I saw something that you guys might wanna hear. I was passing along the shops when I saw a comic bookstore, and it has something to do with that old bully of yours. She's setting up an autograph session for her Big Chibi 7 webtoons.
*That caught them in a surprise with Hiro falling backward and Cora spitting out her tea(in the opposite direction) as she tries to breathe again.*
Hiro: Sh-She's here?! As in.. Here here?!
Megan: I knew you guys would react that way. I thought I would warn you just in case, thankfully it's only for tonight so before long, she'll be gone!
Cora: Thanks, Megan. Man, *to Hiro* Guess we'll have to take a raincheck for our downtown date tonight huh?
Hiro: Yeah. Thanks for telling us though. I gotta share this with the others in the case.
Megan: Well, I'm glad you guys are fine. I mean... I can't imagine going through what Cora did with Di, and what Karmi try to do was low!
*The two teens got quiet when Megan mentioned that incident.*
Cora: Yeah... I don't know if I could fully recover from that... but we made it this far! Sides, I got you guys, and that's more than enough.
Hiro: *Wraps his arm around Cora's shoulder and kisses her cheek* That's my girl.
*Megan merely sticks her tongue out in a teasing manner at the couple. She was glad to have met them and befriended them all those months ago, and they've shown to be great friends despite all the superhero work, especially when her father turned to a life of villainy. It's been hard, but she was grateful for the friends and family she had with her grandpa and them. And that was good enough for her. Somewhere in the city is Professor Granville's apartment where her two cousins, Nettie and Inez, are living with her. Granville was out on errands leaving her cousins and her dogs at home. At this moment though, Inez is ready to head out carrying her wallet and her autograph book.*
Inez: OK Nettie! I'm off!
*Nettie turns her head to see Inez ready to step out the door.*
Nettie: Whoah there Inez! Where are you going?
Inez: There's an autograph session for Big Chibi seven happening soon and I got a VIP pass!
Nettie: Really now?
Inez: Yup! Gotta hurry though! I'll be back as soon as it's over! See ya! *pets the dogs' heads* See ya soon too!
* Inez runs out of the apartment and already heading towards the streets before she could even blink. Nettie sighs before she shakes her head.*
Nettie: Still as spritely as ever. That girl is gonna be running all over at this point.
*That night, there was a long line in that comic bookstore where Karmi herself is sitting at her table, signing autographs for her fans. Eventually, the line reveals Inez and ready to meet her face to face.*
Karmi: Oh hi! My name is Karmi and I'm the author and creator of Big Chibi 7!
Inez: *raising an eyebrow* Cool... I'd just like you to sign this.
*She pulls out her autograph book containing signatures to local musicians back at her home city of Chicago.*
Inez: I've seen some of your episodes.
Karmi: Thanks! You must have loved-
Inez: They're OK.
*That got Karmi to blink and for her to hear Inez speak more.*
Inez: I get that your toon is more focused on comedy and exaggeration but some of the things you added are a bit... concerning, to say the least. Like what you did with Ice-Frost.
*She recalls a scene where a webtoon episode showed Ice-Frost being kidnapped by Mr. Sparkles while she was then put under a love spell that made her worship the villain.*
Inez: A little creepy. But overall, it's harmless and good fun.
Karmi: *eye twitches* I see... Well, what's your name?
*She opens the book and ready to write her name when she hears the girl's answer.*
Inez: Inez Granville-.
*But just hearing the word 'Granville' got Karmi's hand to slide across the page in shock, therefore knocking down some Big Chibi 7 merchandise and inadvertently crossing out one of the other names in Inez's book. Inez, shortly after getting over her anger of seeing her autograph book slightly ruined, blinks in surprise before slowly grabbing her book back and quietly but hurriedly running outside. But she barely skids to the front door when she sees a man in a suit stand in front of her.*
Fan: Woah! Wait, I saw that guy on TV!
Hardlight: Yup! Hardlight is back! And I got to say, I'm a huge fan of Big Chibi 7! I've been trying to come up with a new game to play with Big Hero 7 and this series inspired me! Take a look!
*And it's there that he brings forth his force shield tech that had formed into the actual designs of Big Chibi 7 itself.*
Big Chibi 7: Big Chibi 7!
*They go inside to trash the comic store and even harming some of the fans in line. Karmi tried to hide underneath her table but it is soon thrown over revealing Chibi!Alpha and Chibi!Aqua girl. The two chibis chuckle evilly before they pick her up and throw her to the door, landing in a thud next to Inez. Inez tries to get up and run only for a large cube to trap her inside.*
Inez: Woah!
Hardlight: You'll do, for now,*looks at Karmi* especially since that NPC is out of commission. Come on out Big Hero 7! And you better bring Ice-Frost too to face me and Big Chibi Seven!
*The whole gang, Miyuki, and Tadashi are at the cafe hanging out when they saw the news displaying the destruction of Hardlight and Big Chibi 7 along with his demands.*
Gogo: Hardlight's back!
Hiro: And he's got Inez!
Cora: Then lets suit up!
Miyuki: I'm coming with you guys. I'm about ready to give that nerd some major brain freeze!
Hiro: *To Tadashi* We'll be back Tadashi!
*With that, they all leave to suit up. Tadashi stares at the screen before looking at his hands before he goes upstairs, a determined glare on his face. The whole team is flying through the air where they land down behind Hardlight and his Big chibi 7 army.*
Hiro: Ready for Round two Hardlight?
Hardlight: Ah! Big Hero 7! Perfect timing! And Hello my darling Ice-Princess! Like what I did? I even made a chibi you!
*Soon enough a chibi!Ice-Frost appears alongside with Chibi!Hardlight where they act like a couple... much to the growing discomfort to the real Ice-Frost and Big Hero 7.*
Hardlight: Games aren't fun without opponents.
Cora: Then get ready to rage quit! *To the team* Remember guys, we get the gloves, and its an instant game over!
Hardlight: Easier said than done!
*All the other Chibis line up to face off their realistic counterparts, with Chibi!Tall girl throwing a shoe at Gogo.*
Hardlight: And I got another NPC rescue mission for you~.
*Inez pounds inside the box to no avail, but her pounding stops when she sees that the real supers had arrived...Before she was lifted high up in the air. Karmi gets up to see Big Hero 7 had arrived and to which she starts to sequel loudly.*
Karmi: You're Here! You're finally back here! Oh, we got so much to talk about-Ah!
*Hardlight, being slightly annoyed by the creator of his favorite show, uses some of his techs to pin Karmi to a wall with some force field tech to cover her mouth like duct tape.*
Hardlight: Don't you hate it when NPCs won't shut up? Now, where were we? Oh yes! Attack!
*The chibi warriors run up and start to attack the heroes, with Chibi!Fred attacking real free and all the others soon facing similar problems. Miyuki tries to use her ice to freeze her chibi doppelganger into place, but since it is merely force field tech the chibi girl merely displaces before shooting her digital ice at her, to which she found hurt almost as much as the real thing. Eventually, Wasabi grabs hold of his chibi self and uses it to swing the other chibis far away, giving Hiro and Cora time to rip off Chibi!Baymax off the real one before it could damage the wires. *
Cora: This is just a distraction! The gloves are the way to go!
Hardlight: Not so fast Aqua Girl! You've got more company!
*Soon he summons forth multiple Chibi!Hiros to face off the team.*
Baymax: This looks like to be a problem.
Hardlight: Wanna do the honors Chibi me?
*Chibi!Hardlight floats down to the team.*
Chibi!Hardlight: Attack these noobs!
*The chibi!Hiros run to attack them all to which they find themselves overwhelmed by them. Some of them got into the suit and start to mess around the buttons; Gogo is pinned down as the chibi topple her along with Wasabi and Hiro; Honey Lemon is stuck at a tug of war with the chibis and her chibi self; Cora tries to zap the chibis away while running along the walls with his suction cup boots only for her chibi self to tackle her and land on top of the other chibis, quickly restraining her. Ice-Frost tries to blast them all away only for the chibis to tackle her and carry her to the real Hardlight.*
Hardlight: Now that I have finally beaten Big Hero 7, I can now claim my Ice-Princess~. Now, let's see what behind that mask so I can adore your eyes.
*The whole team try to struggle harder, but they could not move an inch. Just as her visor is about to be removed a burst of flames nearly reaches the villain and his captive, making him yelp and land backward as Miyuki is caught in someone's arms. Hardlight had landed on some of his buttons that had trapped Inez and Karmi, but still kept the chibis around. They all turn their attention to see that the source of the flames is none other then-*
Big Hero 7+Ice-Frost: Sun-Fire?!
Hardlight: Sun-Fire?!
*Sun-Fire is back in his black suit and demonic mask, holding Ice-Frost in his arms before he lets go.*
Hardlight: Don't know where ya been or who you are! You're still going down!
*Sun-fire says nothing, but he is soon joined by Globby swinging into action.*
Globby: Ya can't have a party without Globby!
Elder Sister: And without us.
*That got them all turning their heads to reveal the Fujita sisters, their weapons ready to strike at the villain.*
Hardlight: Did I just unlock secret characters?! While that is sweet, no fair! I hadn't programmed any chibi versions of you five! Whatever, I'll just wing it!
*He summons more Chibis to attack them only for Sun-fire to punch his fists to release bursts of flames that dissipate the chibis. The chibis returns but Sun-Fire kept shooting his flames to the point that the increased heat destroyed the chibis for good. Globby had used his body to become a giant ball and trap the chibis inside before using his body to create a form of electricity to fry them out. The Fujita sisters made quick work by whacking the chibis away from the team, the first being Cora; after they got up the sisters resume their heroic rampage. Meanwhile, Inez and Karmi had snuck back to the store to watch the action along with many of the remaining fans that had taken refuge.*
Karmi: I got to get out there! They need my help!
Inez: Your help? With what weapon? Besides, they've got plenty of help out there.
Karmi: I can challenge Chibi!Hardlight and reprogram the chibi!captian cuties to like me like in my webtoons!
Inez: Yeah... that sounds like a plan that could end horribly. Although...
*She spots a crowbar nearby and grabs it.*
Inez: This should do.
Karmi: And how exactly is a crowbar supposed to help?
*Inez runs out and starts to whack at the floating device Hardlight is standing on, making him distracted as he tries to fend off the girl.*
Hardlight: Gah! Chibi me get her!
*Chibi!Hardlight zooms over and starts to fight the girl, to which she starts hitting it away from her. The Chibis holding Cora hostage had removed her gloves in a presumed attempt to make her powerless. But the faint flicker between Cora's fingers tells Hiro and herself otherwise. Cora uses all her might to bring forth the largest burst of electricity to zap them all back; Hiro then uses his discs to tie them up.*
Hiro: Sun-Fire! Over here!
*Sun-Fire sees the tied-up chibis and releases bursts of flames to destroy the chibis. With that, Hiro and Cora help the rest of the gang to fight back; Honey Lemon retrieving her chem purse again to which she quickly traps the chibis around Gogo, Wasabi, and Fred. Seeing all this happen, Karmi knew it was now or never to contribute to helping her idols. And so, she runs in to beat the hover disc Inez was doing with another crowbar nearby. Finally, Hardlight releases a growl of frustration.*
Hardlight: That's it! I just wanted to have a fun time with you heroes and I'm honestly pissed as all hell! Fuck this shit! Fuck your extra bosses! And fuck Big Chibi 7! This is just so fucking boring!
*He presses his glove to summon back all the other chibis after his multiple f-bombs. To which he then tosses his button saying Big Chibi seven towards Karmi.*
Hardlight: Next time for sure, when there are no annoying NPCs or Deux ex pretty boys and side characters I will return! *To Sun-Fire* And you! Keep away from my Ice-Frost! I will return! But not before this easter egg blows you all away!
*With that Harldight disappears to the night, leaving a mostly frustrated team and allies. Cora and Hiro rush towards Inez, checking over her with care... something that got Karmi's pride stung. After all, she knew Big Hero 7 the longest! Why is that girl getting the attention that should be for her? They then turn their attention to Karmi to which she quickly switches to her more friendly side.*
Karmi: Thank you guys so so much! I'm so happy to see you all again!
Cora: I see.
Karmi: I know a way to get Hardlight! I took a picture of him so that Omega Danger can scan him! My phone is just in that store!
*But that is when Hiro sees something on Karmi's skirt hem, a small blinking ball indicating a passing of time.*
Hiro: Wait a minute! Karmi stop!
Karmi: It's only gonna be a second!
Hiro: No you don't understand!
Karmi: Come on I just wanna help you Captian Cutie!
Hiro: Karmi No! There's a bomb!
*He grabs Karmi tries to remove the bomb but Karmi tries to struggle in his grasp, both arguing loudly to which they(the team, Ice-Frost, Fujita Sisters, and Sun-Fire) all see the bomb.*
Cora: Holy crap!
*Honey Lemon throws her chemball to the bomb, encapsulating it along with Globby's own chemball. Hiro then grabs it and throws it high in the air to which it releases a large explosion, shaking the ground around them and been shattering some of the glass and concrete. The Fujita sisters take this time to run away from the fiasco while Globby morphs himself as a shield to protect Inez while Baymax is quick to shield the remaining five. One of the debris, unfortunately, lands on Hiro's head resulting in his helmet to have a large crack on its side and knocking him unconscious to the floor. *
Cora: No!
*Cora runs over to Hiro, holding his head up. Baymax joins them and scans the unconscious boy.*
Baymax: He has a mild concussion. So long as he rests for tonight, he will recover.
*Cors lets out a sigh of relief along with the others. Sun-Fire turns his attention to the girl who had been stuck in her position as fear grows into her heart. But it was not Tadashi's words that pierce at her... it was Cora's.*
Cora: YOU!
*Cora gets up, her eyes now beyond livid, making the biotech girl walk backward as her fear is now to her. The team could merely watch as their friend's wrath radiates towards Karmi with its full force.*
Cora:*Not caring that she was using her normal voice* Just how selfish and nearsighted are you?!
Karmi: I-I was only trying to-
Cora: Help!? Help is staying with the others until the battle is over. Help would be directing the other fans to safety! Help is not when you are too much of a self-centered brat to not only be blind to that the fact that there was a bomb on your skirt! It isn't help when you ignore his warning about the said bomb that could have gotten everyone around here killed! And it is definitely not help WHEN YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF PUTTING YOUR PEERS IN DANGER! THOUGH I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED SINCE YOU HAD WORKED WITH SYCORAX WHERE YOU WILLINGLY HELPED A CRIMINAL AND BULLIED TWO TEENAGERS BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID PRIDE AT YOUR SCHOOL! I DON'T CARE IF YOU SINCE 'CHANGED', THE DAMAGE YOU HAD DONE IS UNFORGIVABLE! GO HOME KARMI! YOU ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH US AND WE DON'T FUCKING NEED YOU!
*The entire team, Miyuki, Globby, and Sun-fire stare at Cora in shock. They had seen glimpses of her wrath, some that they had wisely avoided provoking... but to see her this livid, to the point of dropping the f-bomb, shows just how livid the girl is. Reputation of her being a second in command be damned. By this point, Karmi had now been pressed against the wall with tears streaming down her eyes as ugly sobs escape her mouth over being yelled at. And it's there that she finally looks closer to the eyes of the enraged girl... those eyes... they-they were just like-!*
Fan: Woah look at this!
*The remaining fans are checking their phones and watching something, their expressions shifting from shock to disgust. Honey Lemon checks her own phone and gasps.*
Honey Lemon: Oh my gosh!
Fred:*looks at the video* Wow! How did that get in there?
*Karmi checks her own phone to see that the viral video is none other than the collection of all the times Karmi had bullied Hiro and Cora, from their first meeting to the time of the disastrous wedding by some anonymous user. Upon glancing at it, Cora's anger is replaced with shock... how did her videos appear online? Sure, she kept them even after showing it to Granville but she never shared it with anybody else. She never even set up her own social account! Karmi soon finds herself being stared at by the remaining fans to which they start booing at her.*
Former fan: BOOOO!
Forner fan 2: BITCH!
Former fan 3: YOU STINK!
*The former fans soon start to either throw her merchandise at Karmi or had merely gone to either share the video or unfavorite the Big Chibi 7 series. Eventually, the police arrived with Chief Atallah taking lead.*
Chief Atallah: Is everyone alright? We saw an explosion.
Honey Lemon: It was Hardlight. He came and used Big Chibi 7 to attack us. While they were cute...
Gogo: Hardlight got frustrated and ran away, but not before he left the bomb you saw. Alpha got a concussion as a result...
Chief Atallah: I see...
*Cora, then regaining her focus, takes Karmi by the forearm and walks to the chief.*
Cora: Chief Atallah, I believe you should-
Chief Atallah: Wait a minute... Karmi Badgal? I've received news earlier that you ran away from home! How did you even manage to get here on your own young lady?
*That got the team to widen their eyes in surprise, but only for a moment.*
Gogo: Either way, just take her back to her parents. And make sure you tell them what she'd been doing.
*The chief and another police throws Karmi to the back of the vehicle before locking it and going back to the other supers... unknowing to them all that the glare Karmi had reserved for Hiro and Cora are now directed at them.*
Chief Atallah: So, Hardlight got away again?
Fred: Yep. He just raged quit when Sun-fire and Globby arrived. And the Fujita Sisters too!
Chief Atallah: The Fujita sisters? Them?
Wasabi: The very same. But they left when the bomb went off.
Chief Atallah: I see...
*The chief turns her attention to Sun-Fire, who remained still. She looks at her standing officers before shaking her head, signaling that Sun-fire is not to be reported to custody from now. She then turns to Sun-Fire and gives a quiet nod of appreciation before heading back and driving off. Inez looks at the super hero team, debating whether to go up and talk or just walk away and wait for another opportunity, to which she chose the latter. Nettie would no doubt be frightened about her safety if she had just seen the news and therefore would need to calm her down. With all that said and done, the team all head back to base to recover. Cora had just finished making the potion and slowly feeding it to Hiro who in a few minutes after consumption recovers and wakes up.*
Hiro: Hey guys.
Wasabi: Hiro! You're OK!
Cora: Oh thank goodness!
*The girl wraps her arms tightly around him to which he smiles and wraps his arms around her.*
Hiro: Did everyone make it out ok?
Fred: Yes and no... Yes as in no one was physically harmed but... Karmi-
Gogo: Not only got yelled at by Cora, Cora's videos somehow got leaked and exposed all of her bullying online.
Hiro: What?!
Honey Lemon: Yeah, take a look.
*Hiro grabs the phone from Honey Lemon's hand to see the video compilation of Karmi's bullying had reached over ten million in over an hour, along with comments being in shock over the reveal or outraged.*
Cora: Something tells me that this will not end well for Karmi, especially when she gets home with her parents. And before you ask, I don't know how my videos went public!
Hiro: It's alright Cora. I know you wouldn't do something like this. Screaming at Karmi, I could see that. But I know you wouldn't share this.
Cora: Thanks. I only kept them so I could show Professor Granville evidence when Karmi went too far... in hindsight, I should have shared it with Granville sooner... Maybe then Karmi wouldn't have been so mean to us...
Baymax: It does not matter whether your action had been implemented sooner or later. What does matter is both of your well-being.
Tadashi: Yeah. Besides, we may not know who posted it; but it's her behavior that is costing her everything. All of her time spent bullying and harassing you two had now come back and punched her in the face. She's already been a nightmare to you guys as students, I don't want you guys to face her again as heroes.
*Hiro and Cora look at Tadashi before sighing and resting down for the night while some of the other team members look at each other and can't help but feel a sense of familiar dread, thinking that somehow this was far from over... for both the trio and what will happen next. Miyuki thinks back to the Big Chibi 7 series and makes a comparison to some of the more infamous animators. Julie Vick had been revealed to be a predator when a post from her past describing how she lusted after a 14-year-old boy became public, which she tried to brush it off as a joke. Joke or not, it cost her reputation, her job, then her own show. But Julie is an adult who by now knows to stay away from the public... what would Karmi, a 16-year-old bully that harassed Hiro and Cora throughout their college years, even when knowing who Tadashi is, react to her bullying behavior not only being exposed online and facing consequences for it? Meanwhile, Karmi is sitting in her own cell when it opens up to see a familiar, large body of a jock appear.*
Police officer: Relation sir?
Kurt: Kurt Badgal, I'm here to pick up my cousin, Karmi Badgal.
*He shows them his license to which they then let him pick Karmi up. Kurt looks at Karmi and takes her to the backseat and start driving.*
Kurt: Boy, you are in deep trouble now! Your mom and dad are pissed as all hell! I mean, I know your show was popular, but they explicitly told you to not go back here without them! But you chose to create your little autograph session for your show anyway. From what I heard, not only are you practically grounded for the rest of summer, they're going to take your phone and make you delete your show and fanfic... and that was before we all saw the vids. Damn, I knew you were a bitch since childhood, but now you are a mythic bitch! Not surprised though...
*Karmi says nothing to Kurt, her thoughts running wild in her head. They get home to which Karmi is quickly sent to her room without her phone by her parents.*
Mom: We will talk tomorrow about this young lady! You are in so much trouble!
*And so they slam the door. Karmi is now left alone in her room, staring at all the fan content she created for Big Hero 7 and the drawings she made. Her mind then flashes back to Aqua Girl and Cora as their images merge together to find that they were-*
Karmi: AUUUGH!
*Karmi starts to trash her room fit of rage; ripping her sheets off her bed, knocking down her ornaments, and ripping up the fanart and fanfic she made of Big Hero 7. As of while, Lenny watches over the videos of Karmi's bullying and lets out a sigh of content.*
Lenny: *calling the Madame* My madame, the video upload has been a success. It gathered more than 10 million views, and the comments are scathing. Good to know that those recordings were in her file, don't you think?
Nozako: Of course. And what makes it better is this recent news about Hardlight using Big Chibi Seven to fight them, and Alpha getting an injury is because of Karmi's recklessness.
Lenny: Do you think Karmi would become a supervillain like Hardlight or Diego?
Nozako: That's assuming that she would be offered a position among us or that she has the resources to become one. To which she has neither. *mutter under her breath* As if I would give that stupid brat a position to even stand with my soldiers... *normal voice* Her idols had practically humiliated her, but she won't take it out on supers...
*Karmi looks at the photo of Aqua Girl and Alpha together, to which she quickly sketches over it to find who exactly are they behind their helmets.*
Nozako: She'll take it out on the ones she hates the most.
*After she was done drawing Hiro and Cora in place of Alpha and Aqua Girl, the girl grabs hold of the paper with her scissors in hand, and slashes at the photo, reducing it to ribbons.*
A.N: Well, that was morbid. Didn't expect this episode/chapter to be first huh? Friendly face will come soon! Now I will make this quick: While in the past I had tried to tolerate Karmi in the show to continue writing her in my fanfic, I can say now that I just can't stand her anymore. In my s3 prologue, I had stated that I will not be so kind as to writing Karmi if she does come back to the show in canon. Just because this episode had her be decent to Hiro in canon does not excuse her previous actions, both in canon and in this fanfic. I don't need to explain further to you that Karmi is a bully, a bully that never faced any consequences for her actions towards Hiro. No, I won't make Karmi be a supervillain like with Diego, but she will remain an antagonist to their personal lives. I hope you all understand that and respect my stance on her. With that, I want to say thank you for following and reading Big Hero 7: The Series. Love you!
