Chapter 15
Hiro and Tadashi rode home on Tadashi's moped. They left the university at around 5:30, and they were down the street from the café. They both wondered how Akari was feeling, and they hoped she was feeling a lot better.
They parked the moped in the garage and headed inside. They walked up the stairs to see that Aunt Cass was sleeping, so they decided not to bother her and check on Akari instead. When they reached their room, they were definitely surprised to see that neither Akari nor Baymax was in the room. Panic rose, and they walked down the stairs to wake up Aunt Cass.
"Aunt Cass. Wake up," Hiro shook her awake, and she sleepily opened her eyes.
"Oh…hi boys," she yawned.
"Have you seen Akari?" Tadashi asked.
"Yeah…she's upstairs sleeping…" Aunt Cass mumbled.
"No she's not…" Hiro said fearfully.
"That's nice…WAIT WHAT?!" Aunt Cass immediately rose.
"Neither is Baymax," Tadashi informed her.
"Where could she have gone?! She's was asleep the last time in saw her!" Aunt Cass shouted.
"How long ago was that?" Hiro asked.
Aunt Cass looked at the clock, and her eyes widened, "3 maybe 4 hours ago…"
"She could be anywhere!" Hiro exclaimed.
Tadashi facepalmed, "Baymax would've insisted he go with Akari…"
"So…" Hiro trailed off.
"Baymax has a tracker! Let me pull it up!" Tadashi said and pulled out his phone. The tracker was moving towards the west side of San Fransokyo.
"She's heading towards the port…" Tadashi said, confused.
"Let's go get her!" Hiro shouted, pushing his brother down the hall.
"I'll stay here just in case she comes back," Aunt Cass called.
"Ok!" she heard Hiro and Tadashi call before the front door closed.
30 Minutes Earlier:
"Alright Baymax! I've got your armor on, all we need to do is put in this chip," Akari stated, and pulled the fighting chip out of the computer into Baymax's access port.
"I do not see how karate makes me a better healthcare companion," Baymax said.
Akari pulled a piece of wood from the corner of the garage, "You wanna keep me healthy don't you? Punch this!"
Akari held out the piece of wood, and Baymax punched right through it. Akari watched in awe, "Yes!"
"Hammer fist!" Baymax split 3 pieces of wood in half.
"Side kick!" Baymax kicked a table.
"Knife hand!" Baymax split 3 pieces of wood.
"Back kick!" Baymax destroyed the table.
"GUMMY BEARS!" Akari shouted, and Baymax got a bag of gummy bears.
"Yes!" Akari whisper-shouted, "Fist-bump!"
"Fist-bump is not in my fighting database," Baymax informed her.
"No. this isn't a fighting thing. It's what people do when they're excited or pumped up," she explained, and showed Baymax how to fist-bump.
"Now you try," Akari held out her hand and Baymax fist-bumped it.
"Ba-da-la-la-la-la," Baymax said, imitating an explosion.
Akari laughed, "Now you're getting it!"
"I will add fist-bump to my care giving matrix," Baymax said.
"Alright then," Akari said and zipped up her jacket, "Let's go get that guy."
Akari opened the garage, and Baymax followed her back to the warehouse.
At The Warehouse:
Akari and Baymax walked back to the warehouse, hoping that no one was really questioning why a teenage girl was out at night with an armored robot.
When they arrived at the warehouse, Akari told Baymax to kick the door down, and when he did, she saw that no one was inside…everything was gone.
The microbot in her pocket was leading her to the edge of the port, but when she walked to where it wanted to go, she was greeted by a scarier sight…the man in the kabuki mask.
Akari cowered in fear, hiding behind a storage crate. Baymax scanned her and made a diagnosis, but she really wished he hadn't.
"Your heart rate has increased dramat-" Baymax began to say, but was quickly cut off.
"Shh! We don't want him to know we're here," Akari whispered. Unfortunately, he already knew they were there, because he lifted the storage crate they were hiding behind, revealing Akari and Baymax.
Akari gasped in fear, unable to move. She cringed as she saw the man in the kabuki mask drop the crate with the microbots, screaming as she waited for the impact that never came.
It surprised her. She saw that Baymax was holding the crate above her so she wouldn't get hurt. After all, he is a healthcare companion. She ran out from underneath the crate, and Baymax was hopping behind her after he threw the crate off of himself. Akari ran as fast as she could, and looked behind her constantly as the man in the kabuki mask chased her. What she didn't expect was to see Baymax flying through the air, landing in the sunroof of someone's car.
The car screeched to a stop and Tadashi ran out of the car as fast as he could, gripping Akari's arm, and pulling her back inside the van, which turned out to be Wasabi's.
Wasabi pushed on the gas once again and they drove off in the direction Akari was running.
Akari was currently catching her breath, she had never ran so fast and so far in her life. She was panting like crazy, and trying her hardest not to pass out. Tadashi had thrown her in the front seat of the car, while he jumped in the back with Honey Lemon, Fred, Gogo, and Hiro.
"Are you ok?" Tadashi asked. Akari nodded.
"Are you hurt?" Tadashi asked again. Akari shook her head.
"What were you thinking?! Knucklehead!" Tadashi suddenly shouted, causing Akari to jump.
"I-I don't know! T-That man stole Hiro's microbots! H-He started the fire! He's responsible for Callaghan! I-I don't know who he is!" Akari shouted back.
"Why is Baymax wearing carbon fiber underpants?" Gogo asked.
"I also know karate," Baymax added 'helpfully.'
"Why?" Tadashi asked.
"Because the first time I went to the warehouse, I fell out a window, and I wanted to confront the masked man," Akari explained.
"You fell out a window?!" Tadashi asked fearfully.
"Technically, that guy pushed Baymax and I out the window with Hiro's microbots," Akari explained.
"You didn't have to go by yourself! You could've taken me with you!" Hiro exclaimed. Tadashi smacked the back of his head playfully.
"Hey!" Hiro shouted.
Wasabi slammed on the brakes, sending everyone forward, "Why are we stopped?" Gogo asked, annoyed.
"The light's red," Wasabi replied.
Gogo sighed loudly, "THERE ARE NO RED LIGHTS IN A CAR CHASE!"
The light turned green, and Wasabi hit the gas. Meanwhile, Fred was looking out the back window, to hopefully get a good view of what the masked man looked like.
"That mask, the black suit," Fred said aloud, "We're under attack from a super villain people! I mean, how cool is that? I mean it's scary, obviously, but how cool?!"
"Why is he trying to kill us?" Wasabi asked. He put his head out the window and looked at the masked man in the rear view mirror, "Uh…Why are you trying to kill us?"
"Let's not jump to conclusions, we don't know he's trying to kill us," Honey Lemon said optimistically.
"CAR!" Fred shouted from the back of the van. Everyone, except Wasabi, looked back to see that a black car was flying their way.
"He's trying to kill us!" Honey Lemon shouted, completely forgetting her previous optimistic statement. Wasabi made a hard right hand turn and turned on his blinker.
"Did you just turn your blinker on?!" Gogo asked in disbelief.
"You have to indicate your turn! IT'S THE LAW!" Wasabi shouted.
Akari felt another vision hit her…
"You have to indicate your turn. IT'S THE LAW!" Wasabi shouted at her.
"That's… it," she said. She put her jump on the dashboard, and scooted Wasabi's chair all the way back so she could drive. She sat on Wasabi's lap, and drove the car at the fastest speed possible.
She tried her best to lose the man in the mask by making sharp turns, running red lights, and pulling the handbrake stunt she learned, but he kept catching up to them. They passed a train, and Hiro finally decide to speak.
"Stop the car. Akari, Baymax, and I can take this guyyyy," he said, but the man in the mask pulled the door open with his microbots, causing him to almost fall out if Baymax hadn't caught him.
"Hiro!" Akari shouted in horror and she watched her brother almost fall out of a moving car.
Baymax pulled Hiro back into the car, in the passenger seat next to Akari, and put the seatbelt over the two of them. "Seatbelts save lives. Buckle up every time," he said, and went back up on the roof.
"Did we lose him?" Honey Lemon asked.
"Look out!" Fred shouted.
Hiro was breathing heavily, and Akari was close to hyperventilating when the microbots formed a tube around them, and the exit was getting smaller and smaller, but Gogo kept driving towards it.
"Baymax, hold on!" Hiro shouted as he held on tight to the seat.
"We're not gonna make it," Wasabi said.
"We're gonna make it," Honey Lemon retorted.
"We're not gonna make it," Wasabi repeated.
"We're gonna make it," Honey Lemon repeated.
"We're not gonna make it!" Wasabi shouted.
"We're gonna make it!" Honey Lemon shouted back.
They all screamed as the tunnel closed, but Gogo broke through it, and landed on the port, but the car was still moving at a high speed.
"We made it! Yes!" Wasabi shouted. The port kept getting closer and closer, but no matter how hard Gogo hit the brakes, the car wouldn't stop, and they all screamed when the car drove into the port, sinking down to the bottom.
Akari snapped back into reality. She saw that Gogo had already put her gum on the dashboard, and the car was moving at a high speed.
"When did you start driving?" Akari asked, confused.
"A few minutes ago…" Gogo trailed off, not taking her eyes off the road.
The car was heading straight for the oncoming train, and had just slid past the border, blocking cars from coming onto the tracks when a train was coming. Everyone screamed as they just made it past the train.
The microbots came to the side door that Akari had been leaning on, and opened it, causing the door to fall off, and Akari fell out.
"AKARI!" Hiro and Tadashi both shouted fearfully.
Akari closed her eyes tight, screamed, and waited for the pain that never came for the second time that night. When she didn't feel any pain, only the wind, she opened her eyes, and saw that Baymax had grabbed her wrist. He was holding her tightly, but the microbots were stronger. The masked man wrapped microbots around her waist, and pulled her away from the speeding car.
"AKARI!" everyone shouted.
"HELP ME PLEASE!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. She wanted to leave the grasp of the masked man. She wanted to go back home. She wished that she never went to the warehouse in the first place.
Her eyes were focused ahead of her, and her mouth was covered by microbots so she'd quit screaming. She still tried, but the metallic taste was unappealing.
Akari watched as the masked man made a tube of microbots around the car with her friends and brothers inside. The exit was getting smaller and smaller, but Gogo kept driving towards it, and she could tell because of the revving engine.
She watched fearfully as the car broke through the microbots, but plunged into the port, and when they never came up, Akari went ballistic.
"NO!" she screamed. She squirmed as much as she could, but she couldn't get out of the masked man's reach. He turned and took her back inland where she first had seen the masked man, and all Akari did was cry. Cry because she didn't know if her friends and her brothers survived, and the chance was unlikely.
The masked man grabbed the large piece of an experiment that he placed down, and he hid it in a warehouse, the same one Akari had found earlier, and then he took her and himself out into the port, onto an abandoned island. She had no idea this place existed, but it looked like someone had been doing experiments on the island, because it had a large building right on the edge.
They headed in a hole in the ceiling, and he dropped Akari on the floor of the vast room. Finally Akari had a chance to speak. She glared at his mask, "Why did you bring me here? Why did you take me from my family?"
"Because you destroyed everything I did over the course of your life," the masked man replied. Akari looked at him, her anger being quickly replaced with confusion.
"What?" she asked.
"I was the one who separated you and your brother from your family," the masked man admitted. Akari's eyes widened.
"Why would you do that?! Do you know how heartbreaking that was to everyone?!" she asked angrily.
"Of course I do," the masked man responded, "But if I hadn't done it, then I wouldn't have been able to get a second chance at revenge."
"Revenge?" Akari asked, confused once again.
"I might as well tell you, being that you'll never be leaving this island," the masked man trailed off.
"Don't sound so confident," Akari stated sarcastically.
"Quiet. Anyway, it all started in a different timeline…"
