Angel: Well...the next two episodes are the final ones, and they will be the final chapters of this story. I was honestly expecting this show to last like another year, but a girl can dream. Also, the song here is difficult to pinpoint some of the words, so I had to improvise. I must've listened it like ten times and I still got a line messed up. I wish this show had scripts somewhere.
Fred's phone buzzes and he picks it up. He was taking a nap as he fell asleep reading a comic. He lifts the book onto his hat and sees a message.
"And the winner is...you. Wait, that's me! I won a prize!" A map appears with a path and the destination so that he knows where to go. He gasps sharply, throwing off his blanket. He walks past Heathcliff, who had prepared some Noodle Burgers for him. And he was almost done with them too. The minute Fred walks past them, they're gone immediately. Heathcliff puts an olive on top of an empty plate, confusing him.
Fred steps out of his house, eating the last Noodle Burger from the tray. He smiles as he swallows it, running down the steps to his mansion. Heathcliff peeks out the door, staring after him as four familiar people are walking down the sidewalk.
He walks past Hana, who is walking Curie, Oppenheimer, and Fermi for Granville. She sees him and waves with a smile. "Hey Fred!"
He doesn't respond to her greeting and she glances at him in slight confusion. But then she shrugs it off. "Must be another trip to Noodle Burger. But I hope he doesn't almost get himself killed like while he was playing that stupid Noodle Go game a few days ago, ugh."
Noodle Go is an augmented reality game where people catch various faces of the mascot. It was apparently inspired by the Noodle Burger Boy clones the robot was making. Of course, it was Krei tech who developed it...no one she knew except Fred plays it because it had gotten several people injured. People who play the game while driving is not a good scenario...
And of course, Fred had to play it while he was leaving the Lucky Cat, and Hana had to stop him from becoming a pancake on the road.
Oppenheimer barks and she turns to see him coming back with one of Fred's comic books.
"How...?" She murmurs in confusion, glancing between the mansion and the dog. She didn't even feel him leave his leash!
"Go give this back to Heathcliff," Hana bends down and wraps the book into a roll. She then plants it in Oppenheimer's leash, watching him walk up the steps. Curie barks at Fred, trying to go tackle him, but Hana holds her back tightly. Thankfully she's built up her strength or else she'd be dragged across the sidewalk right about now. Fermi plays with Mr. Pip right next to her before Curie decides to tackle Hana, licking at her face.
"Curie!" She laughs a bit, and this ultimately distracts her from Fred entirely.
Fred walks past several people, who just stare at him. He's about halfway through to the destination shown on his phone. And that's all he's focusing on as he bumps into someone using a hoverboard.
He then steps onto SFIT grounds, walking past people and projects. He then walks onto the road too close for comfort, causing some cars to stop and honk at him. An explosion occurs behind him and he still doesn't notice.
He finally arrives to where the phone wants him to go.
"You have arrived," The phone announces and he looks around. He finally sees the building and smiles.
"Sweet! An office building!"
Although the title of the building is a red flag, he doesn't seem to get suspicious. Even though it's just named 'An office building.' He enters the room, where there's just a table in the center with no one else in it.
"Hello? I'm here to pick up my prize for winning the contest I definitely did not enter." Even though he didn't enter one, he was just excited for the prize.
"Why hello, lucky contest winner!" A female voice announces as a door opens, revealing a female cutout of a waitress holding pancakes.
"Uh, hi," He greets, a bit put off. He bends down to see that the cutout is taped to a Sargeant Suction. "Aren't you Sargeant Suction, the vacuum cleaner?"
"No!" The machine denies quickly, spinning around him. "I am the official prize bot in charge of your prize! Don't you want your prize?"
"Absolutely!" Fred answers eagerly, glancing around in excitement. "Where is it?"
"Before you can collect your prize, the rules say you must be scanned."
"Hmm," He rubs his chin. "Rules are rules!" He holds out his arms as the vacuum cleaner scans him. But what Fred doesn't know is that the vacuum cleaner is actually being controlled by Hangry Panda. She's also disguising her voice, surrounded by her siblings.
"Excellent work, contest winner! You may now sit," She takes out a notebook so she can write stuff down. "We just have a few questions before we declare you the exciting winner!"
He sits in the chair, rolling it around a bit. "Sounds fair, ask away."
He answers all the questions they want, unfortunately not even batting an eye. "I like too many pickles on my Noodle Burger. I own 59 thousand four hundred and ninety-seven comics. I speak fluent Lithuanian—wait, no I don't. That's a lie. My shoe size is 11 and a half. I've had 18 cavities. That's 1-8. My mother's maiden name is Flamarian. My password for everything is 4321."
"Excellent! You will now get what's coming to you!" The cutout goes away back to the robots and Fred gasps sharply. What steps out is a robotic Fred, shocking him.
"Whoa...a robot me?"
He gasps as he can just see it.
I know I just met ya, but I totally get ya
The two skip into Fred's garden, jumping so they can fall on the grass.
We're like peas in a pod, it's a bit odd
Then they land on the bed, reading comics together...when comics are strewn everywhere in the room.
But now we're best friends forever
The two ride a bike together, with one of them sitting in the basket. They take off into the sky somehow.
Not just farewell forever
They play around with the mascot sign, Fred throwing it to the robot who doesn't catch it.
Best friends for ever and ever
The duo control the Kentucky Kaiju together, just like he wanted to do when he got the thing built.
Doing best friend stuff, together
Fred snaps out of it after like a minute. He then hugs the robot, spinning around in happiness. "This is the greatest prize ever!"
"Oh, it's not a prize, mister."
He falters as he hears a familiar voice, looking to the doorway. Two little red eyes are staring at him, one of them having a crack through it. A claw extends from the shadows and grabs onto Fred, throwing him onto the table.
NBB, Hyper-Potamus, and Hangry Panda jump out of hiding, surrounding him. "Your doom!"
"Heh. Doom," Crushroom chuckles and they stare at her. "Sorry!"
"So this was all a scam?" Fred finally figures it out.
"No duh!" Hyper-Potamus retorts back to him.
"You rented a whole office building?" He wonders, though he shouldn't sound as impressed as he does.
"Not exactly," Hangry Panda glances away. It turns out that the 'disguise' was just a cardboard wall right in front of their hideout. Which...would fool almost no one else except Fred.
"Aw man, why are you doing this?!" Fred demands to them angrily. "How'd you build a robot that looks like me anyway?!"
"To collect information about you so I can use this Fred bot to go undercover. As you, tee-hee, tee-hee!" Noodle Burger boy answers him. "And as for your question, if you must know, it's all thanks to that Ian guy! He had robot prototypes of you that I asked him to build, until he became useless!"
Fred gasps in horror at the plan and at the information given. "And then you'll become president?" Being a Mayor for a Day was enough for him, if he had to be honest. But a Noodle Burger Boy president would legitimately give him nightmares, or Richardson for that matter.
"No, mister! To find the location of Big Hero 7's secret base!"
"And then blow it up before we destroy Hana with the robot!" Hyper-Potamus declares, the other three robots joining in on evil laughter. Fred laughs along with them, but only for a distraction. When Noodle Burger Boy turns to his right, Fred is no longer standing next to him. He looks up ahead to see Fred running across the table, hoping to reach the door on the other side.
He extends his claw hand, grabbing Fred by the waist and dragging him into their lair.
"It's time! Let's do the switcheroo, sisses! Hee-hee, hee-hee, hee-" Hangry Panda cuts off his giggling by pressing on his access port, deactivating him.
"Yep, 'nough of that," She hands the chip over to Hyper-Potamus, who inserts the chip into Robot Fred's mouth. It goes in, and all of the information Fred gave them is inserted into the robot. He wiggles his fingers, opening his red eyes. Then they turn into Fred's normal blue eyes.
"Hee, hee-hee. Howdy and hello!"
"I'm kind of flattered that out of all of Big Hero 7, you made a robot me," Fred smiles up at him.
"Oh, pumpkin..." Hangry Panda starts off.
"You were the only one to answer the fake contest email!" Hyper-Potamus informs him.
"Everyone else mark as junk," Crushroom chuckles a little.
"Man, I really gotta stop trusting suspicious emails," Fred comments to himself, since he gave Basemax a virus the last time he opened a spam email...
"I'll say, mister! Now I'm gonna be fake you mister to trick your friends mister! Hee-hee, hee, hee-hee, hee, hee-hee."
Fred could only open his mouth in shock.
The twins are in the garage with a deactivated Baymax standing in his charging station. Hiro has a cord attached to him while Hana is on her tablet in front of her computer. She has an image of the original Baymax in the portal on her screen, looking between both electronics. They still haven't found a way to extract him, as making a portal to retrieve him would be very reckless. Any portal would be, actually. So she still needs to find out how they're going to do it without having to disturb the whole city.
Noodle Fred sneaks up to the garage.
"He's going to see the twins? Ho ho, big mistake! Baymax will be able to tell that's a robot right away!" Fred says boastfully, making the plan stupid. However...
Noodle Fred steps into the garage. "Howdy and-" He falters in finishing that sentence as he falls onto the ground. "I mean, how's it going, Hamada Twins?"
"Pretty good," Hiro slides over to his sister, rubbing his chin. "We could try Solar Space?"
"It wasn't meant to go into another dimension, though," Hana raises a brow at him.
"True...and stabilizing it would take a lot of work to tackle..." He hums a bit, sliding back over to his computer. He's basically multitasking by helping his sister brainstorm ideas to get the original Baymax out of there, and then giving the current one an upgrade.
"We're upgrading Baymax while trying to find out how to get the old one back without getting the city involved—for the third time. Anyway, he'll be offline for a few hours."
"Darn it!" Fred pouts upon hearing this. The one time Baymax was being upgraded just had to happen on the same day a robot him was created!
"Baymax needs the upgrade beacuse Rishi keeps hacking into him, and we need to make Baymax hack-proof so that he can't do it anymore," Hana has a deadpan look on her face. Since he applied to SFIT, he's become a friend of Hana's. Sometimes they talk about superheroes and her connection to NBB (though she keeps it vague), and other times they annoy Hiro by hacking into his computer as a prank.
"Is everything alright, Fred?" Hiro looks to his screen. Neither twin has looked towards Noodle Fred yet.
"We all know you are geniuses," Noodle Fred basically sits on air. "And my shoe size is 11 and a half."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Hana murmurs as she glances at her brother, who just shrugs. Noodle Fred walks over, pulling the girl over.
"How many steps would I have to take to get to our secret base? And how many attempts would I have to do to destroy my worst enemy?!" His eyes turn red as he looks at Hana angrily.
"O...kay," Hiro feels a little bit awkward while getting Baymax's armor pieces.
"Yeah, I'm not...I'm not even touching the second one," Hana glances around quickly before she slides back to her desk. She finds that question a bit weird, but then again, she's known Fred for a while so they don't find his behavior too different.
"We're kinda busy here. Can you hold this for a sec?" Hiro gives Noodle Fred the energy amplifier.
"And you better not open it like last time," Hana types away on her computer, zooming in on the original Baymax. She tilts her head as she tries to find something that might help her find a way, but it honestly feels like she's having inventor's block again.
Noodle Fred opens it up and the energy from the device causes him to get shocked. "Okay, never mind, I'm fine, I'm just gonna get a Noodle Burger, gotta go, okay bye!" He stutters while being shocked and the amplifier falls out of his hands. Hiro holds out his hand and catches the device.
"Classic Fred," Hiro smiles a little, going back to his screen.
"I dunno. He was acting a little weird when I saw him leave his house while I was walking Granville's dogs this morning. He didn't answer when I said hi to him, but otherwise, he seemed normal. Something must've happened after he left..." Hana glances at where Noodle Fred was skeptically. Fred does act off at times, but not like this.
"Maybe it had something to do with the Moles," Hiro suggests to her with a shrug.
"True, they've always got him acting off after they brag to him about something. It's probably a different reaction than I'm used to at any rate," She waves it off, tapping her fingers against her desk. "Now back to business...maybe...no, that's too dangerous. Or maybe...nah, it's too much energy needed. Or...ugh!" She slams her head onto the desk several times. "Why. Is. This. So. Hard?!"
"When you look back, it kind of is," Hiro goes over and pats her back. "The portal technology from the Silent Sparrow project was the only way to reach the place. And we can't risk the city by using it again."
"Yeah, I know..." She pouts a little. She's thought of this plan about two weeks ago, and it's like she's only just started to put it into fruition.
"Hey. You got this," Hiro encourages her. "We'll figure out something."
She smiles up at him, grateful that she has him to help her.
GoGo is in Muirahara Woods, sitting on top of a cliff as she's bird-watching again. She pops some gum as she watches a small beige bird in a tree. It's peaceful and quiet...
Until Noodle Fred pops up with a big smile on his face. "Hi there!"
She yelps a bit, sliding back in alarm. "Fred!"
Noodle Fred just has that big smile on his face as the bird she was watching lands on his head.
"GoGo won't fall for fake Fred," The real one states confidently from the hideout. In his mind, there was no way that tough-as-nails GoGo wouldn't see his behavior as anything but off.
"Hello, GoGo, currently good friend of mine. I, Fred, just want to hang," He jumps over to the side.
"No. This is where I go to get away from people," She starts packing her things up. "And you are people." She jumps and lands safely on the ground. She places her jacket over her shoulder while about to leave with a basket.
"But, I am your friend, Fred," Noodle Fred somehow is standing in front of her. "Who loves Noodle Burgers!" He holds up a bag and a burger. "Would you like to go to our swell secret base and eat Noodle Burgers?" He presses the burger to her lips repeatedly, and the look on her face tells the real Fred she's not interested.
"You have three seconds," She simply tells him. "Three..."
"But-!"
"Two," GoGo cracks her knuckles.
"What if I tell you my pin number? 432-"
"Run," She interrupts, hitting Noodle Fred so hard that he goes flying. He stumbles down a small hill.
"I hate human legs!" He then crashes into a bush.
He returns to Fred's house, and Honey Lemon and Wasabi run into his bedroom.
"Freddie, we got your text!" She exclaims as the two are holding up their phones.
"You wrote, 'help! Human emergency!' Normally you write halp," Wasabi raises a brow.
"Ha ha!" Fred laughs behind the three robots, happy that finally someone has noticed the odd behavior. "Yes!"
"Glad you're working on your spelling, buddy," Wasabi gives Noodle Fred a thumbs up, much to Fred's dismay.
"No!"
"What's the human emergency?" Honey Lemon questions in concern.
"I compare life situations to Captain Fancy, and in Captain Fancy Issue 000, there is a secret base! So I would like to go to our secret base!" Noodle Fred jerks a thumb to himself, another aspect they stole from Fred's answers to the questions.
"Not sure I follow..." Wasabi murmurs in confusion as Heathcliff comes in, holding a tray of cupcakes.
"Sir, it is snack time."
"Initiate eating sequence," Noodle Fred dives his mouth into the cupcakes, and since the real Fred does this a lot, Heathcliff doesn't bat an eye. The butler starts cleaning up all of the crumbs with a vacuum cleaner.
Fred frowns sadly at this. "Oh...even Heathcliff can't tell!" He looks like he's about to cry.
"Maybe he also replaced by robot," Crushroom tries to cheer him up, but it doesn't work.
"Now that the snacks are consumed, we must go to the secret base!" Noodle Fred insists to them. Honey Lemon glances at Wasabi briefly.
"Well, I don't see why. But I did leave my sticker album there, so sure. I'll go with you, Fred," Honey Lemon smiles at him.
The three robots cheer at their eventual success, and Fred behind them gives a look of horror. Then Honey Lemon's phone beeps and she takes a look at it.
"El Fuego's on a rampage downtown!"
"Then we must go to the secret base!" Noodle Fred states again, thinking that they go to their base to change.
"Nah," Wasabi waves it off. "We'll just call Skymax."
The three robots then sink in disappointment. "Aww..."
"Not so fun having your emotions played with, is it?" Fred teases them, thankful for the El Fuego distraction...and also for Skymax.
ATMs are spilling out money as an alarm goes off. People run away in fear and then an explosion occurs. El Fuego steps out with bags of money in his hands, and he lets out a laugh. Then he shoots out fire from his flame-thrower.
A disc hits him in the face and he gives a knowing smile. "Well, if isn't Big Hero 7..." He turns around to face the four humans and Robot Hana.
"You're done here, El Fuego!" Hiro declares to him.
"Isn't that the guy who kept mocking you?" Mikey glances over his shoulder to his girlfriend.
"Yup...and he's lucky I'm not physically there, otherwise I'd kick his butt like the last time," Hana crosses her arms with a small pout. She just had to be taking a break from superhero stuff...
"Hi-yah!" Noodle Fred jumps in and hits a lamppost, sliding down it. Because it's not really Fred, he doesn't know how to use the suit properly. Then again, he wasn't expecting to actually use it, the robots were just gonna blow up the base without having to know how the suits are used.
"You okay, buddy?" Wasabi asks Noodle Fred, Hana rubbing her chin.
"Oh, yes!" Noodle Fred gets onto his feet. "I definitely know how to use this suit! It was just a hilarious mistake. Hee-hee, hee-hee!" He then bumps into another pole.
"Huh...Fred's not usually like this in the suit," Hana musters as she's watching from her own screen. It's honestly baffling that the others haven't noticed it. His behavior when he was at the garage, that was like him. But in the suit, he's usually not that clumsy and he doesn't use that kind of laughter either.
"Yeah...it's kind of weird," Mikey tilts his head in confusion, his hand covering the mic used for the robot. "Let me see if I can start a scan and see what's up."
Thankfully, he got some training from Hana before he started using the robot, and knows most of the mechanics and how to operate it.
"Enough clowning around!" El Fuego exclaims, Robot Hana's eyes staring at Noodle Fred. "We fight!" He aims fire at the group, and they duck for cover. Well, everyone except Noodle Fred. Mikey sighs in relief as the scan is complete.
"I got it!" He sees the robotic components from him and is very confused. "Uhh...since when was Fred able to have a robotic skeleton and a purple chip in his mouth?"
"What?" Hana walks over and sees his screen. "...That's because that's not Fred!" Her eyes widen in realization. "It's gotta be a robot that Noodle Burger Boy built. And then he implanted his Obake chip into it! We gotta warn the guys!"
Noodle Fred turns to the robot, narrowing his eyes dangerously. He unfortunately knew that Hana's not doing any superheroing, because Hiro called her when he got the notification about El Fuego. He couldn't tell if the robot could know that it's not their friend, but he wasn't taking any chances. He then lets out a very loud screech, causing Mikey and Hana to cover their ears in the garage. The others cover their ears as well. The audio is cut off from them and Hana looks to the mic in the helmet.
"Ugh, he cut off the feed!" She pulls out her phone, seeing it glitch out. "And my phone is wrecked too! He must've guessed that we could scan him. We don't have a way to contact the others now."
"Unless we do it in person," Mikey answers, looking up at her. Her eyes widen slowly and she bites her lip hesitantly, looking at the screen. It seems to be the only way, but she wasn't sure if she could actually go out there... "Hana, we don't have any other choice, our friends are in trouble. There's nothing else we can do."
She slowly turns towards her regular superhero armor. It's been hidden away in a box so she wouldn't have to look at it. She wants to help them, but she still fears that she'll make a mistake as a superhero...
Hiro runs over to the robot on the ground, tapping the screen. "Guys? What's wrong? Can you hear me?"
Honey Lemon contacts Hana through her comm, but they don't know her phone is busted. "She's not answering. Something's wrong!"
El Fuego fires again, and Noodle Fred moves out of the way, only for the top of his head to be on fire. "Oh no! I'm being char-broiled!" He trips over his tail and bounces over Hiro, hitting the wall. He bounces past GoGo. "Whoa! I'm getting flipped! Coming through!" He bumps into Wasabi and Honey Lemon, who had just thrown a chem ball. She drops it and that gets the four stuck in a goop.
"Wasabi!" Hiro calls out.
"On it!" Wasabi activates his blades, but his arms are stuck. "But it's...ugh...hard to move!"
"It's all up to Fred now."
"I, Fred, have ten toes and ten fingers!" Noodle Fred jumps around, his head not even facing the right direction.
"Great," GoGo mutters at this.
"Noodle's going to blow his cover!" Hyper-Potamus exclaims in worry.
"We must help big bro!" Crushroom adds in from behind the chair.
"Let's roll, ladies!" Hangry Panda jumps onto Hyper-Potamus' back while Crushroom hangs onto her boy. They fly right past Fred, seemingly forgetting about him as he falls onto the ground.
"Wow. Leaving me captured here all alone," He chuckles with a grin on his face. "Classic villain mistake." He glances up at a gallon of gasoline sitting on a console. He gets an idea as he grins.
"Show me what you've got!" El Fuego challenges Noodle Fred, punching him backwards into the others. He bounces back to standing in front of the villain.
"I've got a guy punching me in the face!" He finally uses the suit's flames to fight back...but his aim is off and then hits a tree. El Fuego responds by laughing and Noodle Fred stomps his foot. "Stop laughing, mister! My mother's maiden name is Flamarian!" He then walks over, though it didn't look like walking, and super-jumps into the air. "Prepare to be deep-fried!" He lands over El Fuego, hitting the power lines and being flung into a trash can.
"Ow! My head is stuck and heads are supposed to be very important!"
El Fuego just keeps on laughing.
"What is up with Fred?" Hiro asks as the others could only just watch.
"He seems a little off."
"Huh, Hana said the same thing earlier..." Hiro murmurs in thought as he looks away.
Noodle Fred takes the garbage can off, only to be confronted by El Fuego. "This has been fun, but I gotta go."
He extends a fist over to Noodle Fred, who ducks for cover. However, Hangry Panda opens her mouth and chomps on it.
"Crushroom crush you!" Crushroom jumps in front behind and strikes him. Then Hyper-Potamus kicks him down, and the three robots all gang up on him.
"Okay...this is weird," GoGo comments in confusion, wondering why the villains would help defeat El Fuego. They weren't exactly trapped like the time they had to work together to escape a body of water...
Fred manages to knock the gasoline over, which spills all over him. Then the empty can hits him on the head.
"Ow! But also, yes! And a little ew...they may not know me, but I know them, and I need to save them from me!" He slides out of his restraints, the gasoline making his feet slippery. He sees the cart Noodle Burger Boy uses to get around and then gets a big grin on his face.
The three robots continue punching El Fuego, who gets angry and pushes them all off. "Why are you tiny, annoying villains helping the good guys?!" He demands them.
"It is a valid question," Wasabi adds in, but they get no answer as the three help up Noodle Fred.
"I am going to narrate this moment," The robots join together. "The me, hero, stood in front of the you, villain, about to punch."
"...What?" El Fuego asks after a few seconds.
The four robots join together to punch him, but he blocks it easily. He then blasts them with fire and they fall in front of them.
"I'm done here," He steps right into Hangry Panda's mouth for her to chomp on. Then he gets beat up some more by Crushroom and Hyper-Potamus. "Ow, ow, ow, ow!"
Fred races down the road on the Noodle go kart, growling in anger for what the robots did. Hana, in her superhero gear, flies above him while keeping an eye out for her friends and brother. It took her a lot of convincing to leave the garage, but she finally did it...
El Fuego pushes the two off, but Hyper-Potamus flies towards him using her flying, tying him in his own ropes. She hits him in the face and he falls onto the ground. The four robots join together, do a handshake, and strike a pose.
"That...is not Fred," GoGo states while they stare at the robots wide-eyed. Wasabi finally manages to move his arm to break them free and they fall onto the road.
"Hee-hee! Uh, sure I am, misters!" Noodle Fred insists to them.
"What you talking about?"
"That's him..."
Hyper-Potamus spins the head around.
"Definitely not," The four state in unison.
"Would a fake Fred know that Fred has had 18 cavities?" He gestures to his teeth. "Or have the exact Fred head size-"
The real Fred knocks him away with the Noodle go kart, still covered in gasoline. "Guys! That's not Fred! I-I mean, that's not me! I'm me, Fred!" He rips the suit off of Noodle Fred just as Hana arrives. The suit hits her and she falls onto the ground.
"Ow!"
"Hana!" The others exclaim in surprise.
"The customer is sending back the burger! The customer is sending back the burger!" Noodle Fred wiggles around due to the gasoline as Fred tries to chase him. "Abort the order! Abort the order!"
Hana stands up, narrowing her eyes as she watches the two closely. Then she throws her electricity to grab them both.
"Wait, wait, I can prove it!" Noodle Fred insists to her.
"No, I can!"
"Hana Banana, don't trust him!"
She looks between them and then thrusts Noodle Fred forward.
"Wait, what are you doing?!" Hiro calls out as one of them flies over to her. She then swings around her leg and kicks the robot head right off of him. Hyper-Potamus catches the head and catches the chip.
"We'll save ya, bro!" She takes off with the other two robots and the girl rolls her eyes.
"It was a robot the whole time! Noodle Burger Boy somehow created a robot Fred so that we'd lead it to our secret base," Hana crosses her arms and they all perk up to hear her say the word 'our.' "Chances are they were gonna destroy it too."
"So how'd you know which one was which?" Hiro raises a brow at her.
"Easy, I still had the results from when the robot me scanned him and implanted it into my helmet," She explains to him, looking over to her friend. He holds his neck in relief—if she didn't have those results, that might've been him! "Fred, what happened?"
"They might have...lured me into a trap and then tricked me into telling them a lot of information?" Fred smiles nervously and she sighs slowly upon hearing it. "But it was meant for all of us so that the robot copies would destroy our base and then go after you!"
"They would've succeeded if we didn't have the common sense to not look at spam messages," GoGo pops a bubble from her gum.
"We knew it wasn't you," Honey Lemon waves it off nervously.
"Uh, you did?" Fred stares at them and he can tell that they're lying.
"Absolutely...eventually," Wasabi rubs his arm. "At least Hana figured it out."
"We're just glad you're okay," Hiro adds in as Hana dusts herself off.
"Thanks, guys. I learned two very important lessons. One, I should not open emails without adult supervision-"
"Sounds like a repeat lesson," GoGo points out and Hana nods in agreement with a hum.
"And two, you guys really, really, need me. Like, a lot!" He chuckles and they try to group hug, only to slip from the gasoline still on the ground.
"El Fuego can see you're having a private moment," El Fuego tries to get away. "So I'll just-"
Honey Lemon stops him with another chem ball. "O-Or I'll just wait. That's cool."
"You better stay there if you know what's good for you," Hana threatens him, turning around to the others. "I'm sorry, Fred. It was because of me that they impersonated you," She frowns a bit, crossing her arms. "Even if the execution of it was dumb, most of their plans are." Even if the others had answered that message, did the robots really think that they'd get out of it unscathed? And the plan would've been complete bust if no one answered it.
"You didn't do anything wrong, Hana Banana," Fred pats her back and then she grits her teeth.
"You might be right, but now I'm pissed at them and we need to stop those guys once and for all! I'm so sick of villains blaming me for their shortcomings when I'm only partially responsible for like one or two people! It's time that ends!" She huffs and they give hopeful looks. Well, except GoGo, who just gives a little smile.
"We?" Honey Lemon questions hopefully. "Hana, are you really joining the team again?"
"Yeah," Hana calms down as she gives a small smile. "I am."
"But I thought you wanted out of the superhero life until you were ready to come back," Hiro states to his sister in confusion, who nods in agreement.
"I did. But I came to realize that I want to protect my friends in the best way that I can: being on this team."
"Welcome back, Hana," Wasabi smiles softly, but with the sincerity in his voice, it felt like she never left. Then they get into a proper group hug...but they'd re-do with Baymax once he was finished with the upgrade.
Hana crumples up a paper and tosses it over her shoulder. It lands in a trash can as she still hasn't had any idea of what to do with getting the original Baymax back. Hiro is reading something from his tablet as he had remembered something from one of Karmi's stories. He smiles once he finds it, running over to his sister.
"Hana, remember our creative writing projects?" He asks her and she glances up at him.
"You mean when neither of us wanted to do them? Yeah, that was fun," She sounds a bit sarcastic, finding this conversation unimportant. He waves it off and shows her the tablet.
"Well, maybe this could help. I found Karmi's project online, she posted it while she was still writing fanfiction."
Hana takes the tablet from him and reads the sentence. Her eyes light up as she gasps, standing up in excitement.
"That's it! A portal ray gun! It's less smaller and there might be less chance of un-stabilization! Thanks, Hiro," She hugs him with a smile and he returns it.
"Hey, looking for a new angle, right?" He smiles at her and she returns it.
"Yeah! I gotta go draw up some blueprints, I'll be right back! You keep working on Baymax!" She runs off in excitement and he watches her with a chuckle. How he helped her...it reminds him of how Tadashi helped him with the microbots...He only wanted to help her because she was clearly struggling, but it was only until she left that he realized he did the same thing as their older brother. Either she didn't notice or she didn't care.
He sighs a bit, sitting in his chair. "I wonder what he would say if he was here..." Hiro murmurs to himself, glancing to Hana's screen. The image of the original Baymax is still on there and he gives a small smile. Soon...they'd see him again...
Hana's phone beeps from her disk, snapping him out of it. He rolls over to her phone and sees a message notification from Luisa of all people. And because her phone is locked, he can see the message he never thought he'd see...
Hana...it's Luisa. Ian...
He's turned himself in.
