The next thing Big Hero 6 knew, they were now standing in a large area consisting of a building, a street that leads to a building called Tutorial Tom's, another Headquarters building identical to the one they saw back at Toontown Central's playground, and a couple of other buildings/street things.

"Alright, troops!" Tutorial Tom, the tan-colored dog owner of the aforementioned building, stands before the team, donning a military hat. "So you think cartoon physics is something you can do, huh?!"

"Uh," says Gogo. "No one said that. Though it is just something you can do, right?"

"Wrong! See, it may seem easy to fight the Cogs, especially with what you have now, but they don't go down easily." Tom summons a podium and seemingly a large flag as it falls behind him. "Now, toin order to truly battle Cogs, you have to understand just how we fight here, using a wide assortment of gags and toon physics, cause make no mistake, they will catch you off guard, and thinking on your feet is MANDATORY!" He pounds the podium at that last word, then goes back into a calm state.

"Now, normally there's a song that we use to help you know the names of all the gags…but since we're a little short on time, I'll give you the summary. You fight Cogs using Gags, which are essentially all the practical jokes that you would find silly people, such as, say, a clown, used to entertain. Except here, we use them for battling Cogs. Allow me to give you an example." He presses a button and a fresh Level 1 Flunky, who spouted a catchphrase upon landing.

"I may just be a Flunky…but I'm real spunky!"

"Now to fight this particular Cog, which is at Level 1, you would use a gag such as a cupcake or a squirting flower. In this case, you would use both, cause this Cog would take a couple of hits to go down. Watch."

Tutorial Tom jumps and throws a cupcake, which makes a direct hit. The Flunky counters with a heat-seeking clip-on tie, which gets a hit on him, making him fall backward.

"You have sustained an injury," says Baymax. "Allow me to scan."

"Nonono, it's okay. Trust me." Tom brushes off the injury and stretches his leg to the side, allowing him to vanish from everyone's eyesight. Some rub their eyes at how quickly he disappeared.

"Wow," says Wasabi. "I can't believe he disappeared." As Wasabi says this, the Flunky hears a tap behind him, to which he sees Tom with a flower on his shirt. He tempts the Flunky closer and closer…and squirts water at him from the flower. This final hit causes Cog to spin and explode.

"And THAT is why we say 'laughing your head off!' Oh, we also like to quip at points during battle." He bows, prompting Big Hero 6 to clap. Baymax is still noticing how his health seems to have depleted.

"Your health appears to have depleted."

"Oh yes, our Laff Meter."

"Laugh," asks Hiro.

"Yes, Laff, spelled L-A-F-F-. It serves as our, like, life source. It keeps track of how our health is. But don't worry, we can bounce back with a Toon-Up like…" He pulls out a Megaphone. "Anyone here knows a good joke?"

"Oooh," says Fred, excitedly raising his hand. "I know one!"

"Ah, we have a volunteer! Go ahead and joke away!" He hands Fred the Megaphone and allows him to tell his joke.

"Okay, so where does a peacock goes when it loses its tail?"

"I don't know. Where?"

"A retail store!" This got Tom laughing, slapping his knee. Some of the other members giggled, with the main exceptions being Gogo and Baymax.

"Your health has increased," says the latter, seeing Tom's Laff Meter replenish.

"It has. See, Toon-Up gags like that can help keep our health up."

"Huh," says Hiro. "I have to admit, I never imagined a society that's so…cartoonish."

"We know. Now, I think it's best that I tell you more about the types of Gags and cartoon physics that we use here."

"Wait, wait, wait," says Wasabi. "How long will this take?"

"Well, this would normally take like a montage."

"A montage? How would that help?" Tom stares for a bit at Gogo.


Montage…

They then go through a montage about montages, including him teaching the others about how it makes the time go by quicker, him pulling up a blackboard explaining this, and everyone in anime costumes drinking tea and having a picnic.

"And that's how montages work."

"I mean, I guess," says Gogo. "Wait, why were we wearing anime-" Tom covers her mouth.

"Ah, ah, ah. One of the most important rules about random moments like that is...you never question moments like that."

"But...why?"

"Because it's funny. When something doesn't make sense, it's typically funny. Anyway, now onto the REAL montage…"


One montage later...


The team is standing before Tom, GamerByrd, and Flippy in a large circular room, all taught and trained in the ways of the Toons.

"Oh okay," says Tom, "my bad. So it only took a scene transition. Anyways, after a montage of learning how Gags work, AND how to utilize cartoon physics, I can safely say that you are all ready!"

"Okay," says Flippy. "You guys are about to enter the Creation Cogregation, the Cogs' event for bidding and demonstrating the latest tech. If the original Baymax is anywhere, it's there, at Bossbot HQ's Clubhouse. Don't worry, we're bringing a couple of other Toons along with us. So you all will use these Bossbot suits we created using parts from ones that exploded. To help you out, GamerByrd will accompany you on your quest." The aforementioned dog waves, still wearing his gear.

"Alright, so just to keep a low profile, and because I really want to take the scenic route, we're gonna take the street way. I know exactly which streets to go on and-" He stops when he notices Hiro looking down. "Hiro? Are you okay, buddy?" He sighs.

"I just can't stop thinking about him. And how dangerous he can be if he's been overridden." He remembers from the time when he set him off, and when Obake got a hold of him. They still run fresh in his mind.

"Hey, hey, it's okay." GamerByrd gives him a hug. "We're going to get him back, promise. Just remember what we practice, and don't. Rage." He's stern with those two words. "Trust me, raging never leads to anything good. Okay?"

"...Okay." He feels better, but still anxious about the whole thing.

"Alright, let's go."


The team is now walking the streets of Toontown, with them traveling along Punchline Place. Some chose to walk, some chose to fly, some chose to skate, but the group made sure to stay together either way.

"So," says Honey Lemon. "That B.O.T.S. organization. When did you guys start it?"

"Well…truth be told, you guys aren't the only ones who crossed dimensions," GamerByrd informs her as they continue walking the streets, making the pass to Donald's Dock.

"We aren't?"

"Well, at least recently. There have been a couple of temporal disturbances over the past couple of years or so. Like, in late 2018, someone was pulled from his dimension and brought to another. And then later that year, more people were pulled from their dimensions in one sector, with a major temporal imbalance happening later on. Then it remained relatively quiet until about half of next year. There were a couple of dimensional imbalances, one of which led to them entering the Inbetween."

"Wait…there were more people in the Inbetween?! Who?"

"A lot of people. There were a couple of human beings, superpowered beings, Plants, Zombies, supervillains…" That made her silent. "I'm not making this up, I swear."

He keeps talking about the events that occurred involving the Inbetween as the group makes their way through Acorn Acres.

"Due to these, we created B.O.T.S. so we can study just how universes connect. Oh, look at that!" GamerByrd stops talking as the group comes across a large grey tunnel labeled "Bossbot HQ".

"Huh," says Gogo. "How are we here already?"

"Another work of cartoon physics, transitions make moments go by quicker, and can be just as effective as montages. Anyways, we're about to enter the very place where they might be holding your robot body. We must keep a good disguise going as some of our veteran toons, who we'll meet inside, find and sneak it out. Got it?" Big Hero 6 gives a thumbs up, though admittedly are still a little nervous. GamerByrd gives a thumbs up in response and leads the team in…


AU: So this chapter has been a long time comin'. I'll admit that I do tend to get a little unsure if my ideas are good or not so for those still interested…thanks for still stickin'!
Anyways, the next chapter is up next.

Well, as always, leave a review! Never hurts to help!
