Chapter 75

After the battle in the city, everyone returned to Hiro's garage to rest. The next day, everyone stood in the garage silently with sad and serious looks. Laxus did not join them as he went on a walk.

"Laxus has been acting strange.", said Hiro. "He didn't return last night."

"I honestly don't know what's wrong with him.", said Sora.

"Juvia thinks it had something to do with that fake Riku that showed up.", said Juvia.

"What do you mean."

"I guess that fake's personality reminded him of himself.", said Gajeel.

Erza spoke. "In the past, Laxus was arrogant, overbearing, selfish, and prone to make fun of his own comrades. He believed himself to be the strongest member of Fairy Tail, and looked down on those he considered weak, heavily reprimanding their weakness and even resolving to hurt them whenever they stepped in his path."

"He was incredibly strong.", said Lucy. "But everyone hated his personality."

"So what changed him?", asked Hiro.

"He tried to take over the guild by making everyone fight each other and he was kicked out because of it.", said Natsu.
"And I guess he changed while he was gone.", said Happy.

"He was then welcome back into the guild by someone who was in the guild.", said Charle.

"I guess seeing that fake Riku must've triggered bad memories of him.", said Lily.

"I see…", said Hiro and it was silent again.

After a few minutes, Fred spoke. "C'mon, guys. What's with all the long faces? Did you forget that we WON?!"

"Fred. Not now.", said an annoyed Go Go.

"It's true that we won.", said Erza. "But now we have another problem to deal with."

"His name is Riku?", asked Hiro. "And you know him?"

Sora spoke. "Yeah… Well, I know a 'him.'"

"That one is a fake!", said Donald.

"The fake one's with Organization XIII, our arch-nemenies.", said Goofy.

"Okay, but how'd he get Hiro's chip?", asked Wasabi.

"And what did he mean about an experiment?", asked Honey Lemon.

"And what do they want?", asked Go Go.

Sora explained. "He said they're trying to recreate a heart from data, but I don't know what they really want. None of us do. These guys, they show up-and instead of fighting fair and square, they go for the heart and say things to try and get under your skin. They're cowards." Sora then looked guilty. "And now, they're doing it to you, too. It's our fault."

"We're really sorry.", said Wendy while the others looked guilty.

"No. This could be good.", said Hiro. "That chip might finally be able to give me some answers."

"You said that you made it, right?", asked Sora.

"Yeah. This Baymax-he's actually the second model. Uh, no offense."

Baymax spoke. "I am a robot. I cannot be offended."

"You said this is a second model.", said Erza.

"Is there another Baymax?", asked Lucy.

Hiro nodded. "Tadashi made the first model. It's a long story. But the first Baymax and the chip I made...vanished into another dimension along with the microbots. The chip's back… So the first Baymax might be back too."

"Hiro…", said a worried Honey Lemon. There was a moment of silence.

But then Baymax broke the silence by saying, "Those who suffer a loss require support from friends and loved ones."

Suddenly, there was a large bang and then room started to shake, causing everyone to lose balance.

"What was that?", asked Fred.

"I don't know.", said Wasabi.

Hiro quickly went over to his computer and quickly typed on it. An image quickly popped up on the screen showing the head title, "Mysterious Monsters Renew Attacks", with the image of the Darkubes attacking the city.

"Guys, c'mon!", said both Sora and Hiro.

"But what about Laxus?", asked Honey Lemon.

"I'm sure he'll be there.", said Natsu.

Before the attack, it was still night out in San Fransokyo. Laxus was sitting on top of a building watching the ground with angry and serious look. He then remembered getting into an argument with Erza after the Phantom Lord war.

"Why don't you tell the others how you feel!", Erza shouted with anger.

"I have no problem telling them what I think of them.", he answered with an attitude. "This guild's full of nothing but losers and weaklings." He then faced a young Jet and Droy. "Especially the two of you morons. You were Phantom's personal punching bags. You know I'm glad I've never bothered to learn your names." He then faced Lucy. "Which brings me to the worst of them all, the rich little princess wanna be wizard. This was your fault."

"Laxus!", yelled an angry Mirajane. "Would you shut up. The Master said no one in the guild was to be held accountable for what happened. Not even you, despite the fact I begged you to come help and you turned your back on us!"

"Stop your winning!", he shouted with delight. "That fight had nothing to do with me. But if I had been there, you wouldn't be drowning your sorrows in this pile of rubble right now."

This made Erza furious.

"Why you-"

Natsu angrily spoke. "I've heard enough outta you!" Natsu then charged towards Laxus. But before he could strike him, Laxus teleported behind Natsu, making him lose balance. "Come on, Laxus! Fight me like a man, you gutless coward!"

Laxus laughed. "How do you expect to fight me if you can't even touch me, dimwit. I can't wait to inherit this place and kick all of you weaklings to the curb. Your days in Fairy Tail are numbered, kids! Things are gonna be a whole lot different around here, so I guess you losers will have to find a new place to hang out."

Hearing that guy talk, made me remember all the bad things I did in Fairy Tail., he thought. That bastard is messing with me without even trying!

He then noticed two figures walking on the highway. Laxus then went to get a closer look. When he got close, he saw that the two figures were Maleficent and Pete.

Is that the witch Sora was talking about? Maleficent, was it?, he wondered. Are they here looking for that Black Box?

Laxus then noticed a dark corridor appeared behind them and the fake Riku appeared from it.

Him again!, he thought angrily.

Maleficent noticed Riku and turned around, along with Pete.

Riku gave them an annoying look. "Why are you snooping around?"

"That would be none of your concern.", she answered.

"Overstep, and darkness will consume you again."

Maleficent and Pete looked curious at what he said.

"What an interesting thing to say.", she said. "I shall do anything I please. As should you."

RIku smirked. "Oh, I intend to." He then turned around and started to walk away. He then entered a dark corridor and disappeared.

Pete looked confused. "Who's he?", he asked. "Friend of yours?"

"Yes. Though I could not tell you from 'when.'"

What the hell are they talking about?, he wondered. Either way, I should go find a place to stay. If he's watching the city, then I don't want to get caught.

Back in the present, the group arrived at the top of the building were the Drakubes are. Everyone was now feeling confident.

"Hope it's learned some new tricks.", said Go Go.

"Yeah, now it's gotta face all of us.", said Wasabi.

"That's right.", said Honey Lemon.

"Freddie want to destroy!", said Fred.

"Sorry I'm late."

They all turned and saw Laxus standing there.

"Where were you?", asked Hiro. "You were gone all night."

"There were some things I needed to think about.", he said. "But right now, we have to deal with this first."

Baymax spoke. "Our probability of success is-" Hiro cut him off.

"You don't have to crunch the numbers, Baymax.", he said. "It's not the sum of our parts. It's the sum of our hearts."

"Yeah.", said Sora.

"Which adds up to what?"

Everyone looked up and saw the fake Riku standing on top of the floating fans.

"Show me.", he said.

He then summon his Soul Eater and jumped towards the Darkubes. He headed towards the core and slashed it with his sword. He then landed in front of the Drakubes. The core of the Darkubes disappeared and all of the cubes stopped glowing and immediately fell to the ground. He then grabbed Hiro's chip from his pocket.

"Almost there."

"What?!", said a shock Sora.

"Why would he destroy the Darkubes?", wondered Wendy.

The fake Riku kicked three cubes away from the pile.

"This pile of junk collected the data we needed… The terror of being attacked without warning… The despair of having no place to run… The longing for vengeance..."

"A heart's more than that!", said Sora.

"It's working together.", said Wasabi.

"Smiling at something funny.", said Happy, Donald, and Goofy simultaneously.

"Trusting friends.", said Hiro.

"In every heart, there's hope.", said Sora. Everyone nodded.

"You're right.", said Riku.

"Huh…?"

"That's why I made sure our creation fought you. Now the data contains a complete heart."

"A heart made from conflict? That can't be real."

"What was it you said? I only have to see it for it to become real? So, let's see it."

Laxus then stepped forward. "You better stop what you're doing. Cause you're really pissing me off.", he said in a dark tone.

Riku simply laughed. "Oh, right. I forgot you had Fairy Tail mages with you. They say you're powerful, but there's no way you can defeat us since you don't have the power of the Keyblade."

"Don't you dare make fun of Fairy Tail again!", growled an angry Natsu.

"Hold on, Natsu.", said Erza.

"If you really think that, then you guys are even stupider than I thought.", said Laxus.

Riku quickly gave an angry look on his face. But then he took a deep breath and smiled.

"I would love to chat with you some more, but unfortunately I have to finish this.", he said.

Riku then summoned a giant dark vortex into the sky, causing all of the cubes to float towards the vortex.

"First, we need a vessel."

All of the cubes entered into the vortex. Seconds later, the cubes came out, in the form of a giant red sphere. Everyone looked cautious.

"What's going on?", asked Go Go.

"Another Darkube form?", wondered Honey Lemon.

"Doesn't look as bad as the last one.", said Fred.

"It could be a trick.", said Goofy.

"Usually is.", said Wasabi.

"Trick or not, we need to get ready.", said Erza.

"We can stop it!", said Donald.

Suddenly, the sphere started to become smaller and Hiro noticed something that came out from the Darkubes. It was a while arm. Hiro then became shocked.

Before anyone could attack it, Hiro shouted, "Wait! That's...Baymax."

"What?!", said a surprised Sora. "No way."

The Darkubes became smaller and were being absorbed into Baymax. The Baymax that absorbed the Darkubes wore a purple and fuchsia. The shoulders have spikes, while the visor has horns and purple eyepiece hiding all but red glowing eyes. One his back, his wings end in ridges that resemble feathers. The most distinct difference is the large right hand made of Darkubes.

Everyone was shocked while Hiro was scared and worried.

"Baymax…", he said.

"Don't bother." said Riku with a smile. "This puppet has lost his heart. He won't wake up."

"He's not a puppet! Baymax, he's like my family. Please! Give me back my friend."

Riku chuckled. "Yes… I did promise I'd put this back where I found it." Riku then opened Baymax cartridge and put the chip inside it. After the chip was inserted, Dak Baymax's eyes began to glow red. "But there's one piece missing. Sora, you're the one who's going to complete this heart."

"Yeah, right.", said Sora.

"You can't have a heart without sadness...without loss. You see, you're going to destroy Hiro's friend right in front of him."

Dark Baymax immediately flew towards a stunned Hiro.

"Hiro!", they all shouted.

Big Hero Six charged towards it, but Dark Baymax swatted them away with his giatn hand. The group then held back the giant hand until Baymax came in and pushed the robot off of the building with one punch. Baymax then came back, as he was flying. But before he could do anything, he was held back by Donald, Goofy, Lucy, Wendy, and Charle.

"Hiro…", said his team.

"Bastard!", yelled Natsu.

"This should be rather entertaining.", said Riku. He then laughed. "These weakling's hearts will be crushed as they have to fight a doll."

Laxus then came up to him and grabbed Riku's shoulder.

"You had your say, now get the hell outta here!", he shouted.

He then lifted Riku up and threw him into the air, making him scream. He then crashed into several buildings. Everyone watched with shock while an angry Laxus breathed heavily.

"I've never seen Laxus this mad before.", said Goofy.

"Let's hope not to piss him off again.", said Sora. The others nodded.

"Amazing…", said Hiro.

"Hiro, tell us. What should we do?"

Hiro put his hand on his chest. "Baymax means everything to me. But that chip isn't who he is. I already made this mistake once before. Tadashi wouldn't want there to be a Baymax that hurts people. He has to be stopped."

"Okay. Help Go Go and the others. You can leave this guy to us."

Hiro smiled. "Thank you."

Baymax immediately flew into the air and took off.

"Oh, no!"

"Sora, take Baymax!"

"Okay! Baymax!"

"I am ready, Sora.", said Baymax.

Sora jumped onto Baymax's back and the two of them flew off.

"Lily, I need you!", said Laxus.

Lily immediately grabbed Laxus and the two of them flew after Sora.

"Hey, give me my cat back!", shouted Gajeel.

"We need to evacuate the city!", said Hiro.

"Right!", shouted everyone.

Laxus quickly caught up to Sora and Baymax, who were dodging laser attacks from Dark Baymax.

"Laxus!", said Sora.

"Looks like you need some help.", he said with a smile.

"Yeah, you're right."

The four of them continued to dodge the lasers Dark Baymax was throwing at them.

"We won't be able to defeat him if we keep this up.", said Lily.

"I got this!", said Laxus.

"Lightning Dragon's Heavenward Halberd!"

Laxus sent the lightning spear straight towards Dark Baymax. Once it hit him, he short circuit a little and stopped flying away. Sora then transformed his Keyblade and fired at Dark Baymax.

"Charge, Baymax!", shouted Sora.

Baymax flew towards Dark Baymax and punched him squarely in the face. Sora then jumped off of Baymax and hit Dark Baymax with his Keyblade. Baymax then caught. But before they could fly away, Dark Baymax grabbed both of Baymax's feet and started pulling him down. Baymax then punched him with his gauntlet to let go and Laxus punched Dark Baymax with his lightning fist, making Dark Baymax crash into the ground. The four of them ran after the beaten up Dark Baymax when they noticed the others running after them.

Sora spoke with guilt. "Guys… Hiro…"

Everyone then stopped when they came close to him.

"So...did we stop him?", asked Wasabi.

Hiro sighed as he walked towards Baymax. "Safety mode kicks in if he's put under too much stress, so he's probably just in stasis. We'll have to destroy the chip if we want to be certain."

"But...are you sure?", asked Honey Lemon.

"Yeah, dude...you don't need to go that far.", said Fred.

"Maybe we can find another way.", said Go Go.

Hiro took the chip out of Baymax. "It's the right thing to do."

After taking the chip out, Dark Baymax started to glow bright red and the Darkubes from his body started floating up into the sky. Once all of them left, Dark Baymax's armor was gone, leaving the white form of him behind.

"Tadashi would've done the same thing."

"But Hiro…", said Sora. "Isn't that Baymax's heart?"

"That's not his heart.", said Laxus. "That's just an object created by assholes to make people suffer. You know who the true Baymax is. If they can create a heart from data, I don't see why you can. So remake the heart of your true friend."

"Your right.", said Hiro as he put his hand against his chest. "Baymax is here." Hiro then put the chip on the ground and stepped on it, breaking it.

After the battle, everyone returned to Hiro's garage so Hiro can fix Baymax. After a while, Hiro fixed the damages on Baymax and looked like his original self.

"Is he fixed?", asked Happy.

"Let's find out.", said Hiro. "Ow?"

Baymax's eyes lit up and then he said, "Hello, I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion."

Everyone shouted with joy while Hiro ran up to Baymax and hugged him. The other Baymax went up to Hiro and hugged both of them.

"Two Baymaxes!"

"This is great, Hiro!", said Sora.

"Yeah, thanks.", said Hiro.

"So, uh, do you think I could take one of them with me?"

"Uh, that's a no."

"What? C'mon."

"No. Who's gonna repair him?"

"One. Just one of them! C'mon. Pleeease?"

"He's my personal healthcare companion?"

"Enough Sora.", said Laxus.

Everyone then laughed.
