Chapter 19

Akari stared out the window again in despair. A helicopter landed, and everyone left, not even knowing she was there. But they all looked a little depressed. She wanted to leave, but she had no clue how.

She watched Callaghan run away on his swarm of microbots towards Krei Tech, and left her there. She had no idea if he'd be back, or if she would survive.

She wanted to go home, see Aunt Cass, and just lie in her warm bed. She stood up from her bed, and walked over to the door. Then she rammed her body against it, and she could feel it denting as she hit it. She figured if she hit it again, she could break free, and find a way to get back to the city.

She rammed her body against the door again, and the door came off the hinges, falling to the ground. She landed on top of the door, and ran down the hallway, trying to find her way out of the building. She ended up in the main room that Callaghan had dropped her in on her first night there, but it looked different.

The control room was destroyed, several pillars were knocked down, and there were microbots all over the floor. As much as Akari wanted to know what happened, she focused on finding a way back to the city.

She made it outside, and she found a boat just a few feet from the building. She pushed it into the water, and jumped in. then she jumped in and rowed off to the city. She was free, and she could finally go home.


The team flew through the town as fast as they could, trying to get there before Callaghan succeeded in his revenge. They got closer, and saw that Callaghan was gripping Krei in microbots, and the portal had already been activated, so it was sucking up the building in parts.

"Professor Callaghan!" Hiro shouted as they landed. Callaghan turned around. He had his mask above his head, so they could see the anger in his eyes.

"Let him go," he said. Callaghan made no movement. Hiro took off his helmet, "Is this what Abigail would've wanted?"

"Abigail is gone!" Callaghan shouted.

"This won't change anything. Trust me, I know," Hiro explained. Everyone smiled at him. He understood that what he did was wrong. Callaghan's expression changed. Hiro was getting through to him!

"Listen to the kid Callaghan. Please, just let me go. I'll give you anything you want!" Krei bargained.

Callaghan's face twisted back into anger, "I want my daughter back!" he growled. He put his mask back on and sent a large wave of microbots at Hiro and the gang. They were separated; Hiro, Tadashi, and Baymax were on one side of the wave, while Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Gogo were on the other.

"Go for the mask!" Tadashi shouted, and everyone ran towards Callaghan. Hiro and Tadashi flew off, but Callaghan got a hold on Baymax's leg, and threw him against the wall. Hiro was shaken off of Baymax, and was flung into the building, which was beginning to get sucked up into the portal. Tadashi watched in horror as his younger brother held onto a piece of metal that was sticking out in the center of the portal.

"Hiro!" he screamed.

"Baymax!" everyone else shouted.

"Hiro! Hold on, ok?" Tadashi asked through the communication device in their helmets.

"Why would I ever let go?" he asked with pure terror in his voice.

Everyone tried to attack Callaghan, but the microbots were winning. Wasabi got stuck between 2 panels being pushed together by microbots, Gogo got trapped in a sphere, Honey Lemon's chemical force field was crumbling, Fred's suit was being pulled by its limbs, making him stuck, and Tadashi got trapped in a cube of microbots. Hiro was holding on for his life, but his hand slipped and he floated closer and closer to the portal. Baymax was also trapped under microbots, but only his head showed.

"No!" Honey Lemon shouted.

"He's too strong!" Wasabi shouted.

"There's no way out!" Gogo shouted.

"You can't beat him!" Fred shouted.

"There's too many microbots!" Tadashi shouted.

Hiro watched as his friends and brother became trapped. He was still holding tight to the wire he grabbed onto earlier. Suddenly, something small he recognized hit the visor of his helmet. He heard them all shouting his name through the comms, but he ignored them while he was trying to think.

"That's it! I know how to beat him!" he mumbled. "Listen up. Use those big brains of yours and think around the problem. Look for a new angle!" he shouted.

Tadashi smirked, "Stealing my words now, are you?"

"Just do it!" Hiro shouted.

Tadashi used his technopathic abilities to manipulate the microbots into opening the cube, allowing him to walk out of it. Honey Lemon waited for the right time, and she grabbed a wave of microbots. She jumped out of her pink chemical cover. Gogo sped around the circle she was trapped in as fast as she could, and it was sliced in half, so she jumped out. Wasabi turned on his lasers and cut a hole in the ground beneath them. He slid through the panels and escaped the microbots. Finally, Fred grabbed a piece of sheet metal off the ground and sliced the microbots that were holding his suit in one place.

Baymax!" Hiro shouted. Baymax turned his head to look at Hiro, but he was still stuck under the microbots. A piece of metal gashed Hiro's shoulder. He groaned. Baymax zoomed in on Hiro before his head was covered, "Hiro?" he asked.

A rocket fist busted out of the microbots that were holding Baymax down, and soon the rest of Baymax came out. He was flying toward Hiro, so Hiro let go of the wire he was holding, and Baymax caught him before he was sucked into the portal.

They all heard Krei laugh and say; "I love that robot!" before Callaghan wrapped him up in debris on the side of the building.

Baymax landed on the top of a building, and the rest of them met up with Hiro. "Ok, new plan. Forget the mask. Take out the bots, they'll get sucked up into the portal," Hiro informed the group.

"Now that is a plan!" Wasabi shouted and turned on his lasers.

"Honey, Fred. Can you give us some cover?" Hiro asked.

"Like you have to ask," Fred said.

Honey Lemon pulled 4 blue balls out of her bag. "Let's do this, Freddie!" she shouted and threw the balls into the air. Fred breathed fire on them, and a giant cloud of smoke was created.

"Smokescreen!" Fred shouted.

Callaghan was annoyed by the smoke, so he went higher up, above it. He saw that Baymax and Hiro were headed straight for him, so he sent several waves of microbots his way. They both spotted this, so they flew up to the portal and turned around. Baymax dove down and broke the microbots with one swift motion, and they were all sucked up into the portal.

Below the smoke, the team was focused on breaking the stems of microbots. Wasabi jumped, and he realized he was floating down. "Gravity's getting a little weird here guys! Wait, let's use this!" he jumped onto the wall and sliced numerous stems. "Green blades of fury!" he shouted.

Gogo was sliding through the stems, breaking all of the ones she passed by. She leaped onto a gigantic on and yelled, "Woman Up!"

Honey Lemon jumped higher and higher up the stems and stuck her purse in an opening. One last ball flew out and she threw it at the purse, causing a massive pink explosion. "Now that's a chemical reaction!" she shouted.

Fred grabbed two panels off the ground and used them as signs. "Double sign-spin!" he shouted as he breathed fire on the edges of the signs, "Now my signs are on fire!" he sliced through the stems with ease.

Tadashi ran around through the smoke, disabling the thinner stems of microbots as he ran. Then he activated his hoverboard and flew above the smoke discreetly, and saw Hiro and Baymax. The karate moves really came in handy.

"Back kick. Knifehand. Roundhouse. Hammerfist," Baymax said as he did the moves.

Callaghan used his microbots to trap Baymax in one place. "This ends now!" he shouted, and gestured for more microbots to come up, but none did. Hiro smiled smugly as he realized he was out of microbots.

"Looks like you're out of microbots," Hiro stated.

"What?" Callaghan mumbled. He looked down. The cloud of smoke was dissolving, and the only microbots were the ones he was on, and the one he trapped Baymax in. Baymax broke out of the microbots and flew down to Callaghan with a fist outward. Tadashi and Callaghan both gasped, but Baymax stopped short when he was only inches away from Callaghan's face.

"Our programming prevents us from injuring a human being," Hiro paused, "But we'll take that." Baymax took the mask off of Callaghan's face and crushed it.

As soon as the mask was crushed, the microbots that were holding the portal and Callaghan in the air collapsed. Callaghan fell, and he could feel himself being sucked into the portal. But Baymax grabbed him and put him on the ground safely. The portal landed on the ground, but it was still on and sucking in debris. Tadashi landed on the ground a few seconds after Hiro did and noticed the same thing.

"The portal's still on! We have to shut it down!" Hiro shouted.

"We can't! The magnetic containment field is failing! The portal's going to tear itself apart!" Krei shouted.

"We have to get out of here now!" Hiro shouted, and they all ran from the portal. Hiro stopped running when he saw Baymax wasn't following them. He ran back towards Baymax, and Tadashi ran after Hiro.

"Hiro!" Tadashi yelled.

"Baymax!" Hiro shouted.

"My sensor is detecting signs of life," Baymax stated.

"What?" Hiro and Tadashi asked in unison.

"Coming from there," Baymax said, pointing to the portal.

"The life signs are female. She appears to be in hyper-sleep," Baymax stated.

"Callaghan's daughter. She's still alive," Hiro stated.

"Abigail," Callaghan turned to face the portal. Then he shouted, "Someone get her out!"

"Let's go get her," Hiro said confidently. He jumped on Baymax's back.

"Hiro no!" Tadashi yelled, "It's too dangerous."

"I agree. The portal is destabilizing. You'll never make it," Krei told them.

"She's alive in there. Someone has to help," Hiro stated. Everyone realized he was right, and Tadashi gave in and let him go. Hiro and Baymax flew into the portal, leaving Hiro's friends and brother to hope that they all make it out safely.


The next chapter is in the portal, if you didn't already figure that out. I know I promised you a chapter revolving around Akari, and it's coming today. I would've put it up yesterday, but I was too lazy to.

Follow and Review! See you in the next chapter!
