NBB looked exactly the same, except he had a monocle and mustache. "Salutations and good tidings, gentlefolk." And he had a snobby accent. "I've come to relieve you of your gizmodic goods." And started rooting through the wreckage and placing anything he liked in his "brain."

Everyone hid behind a wall and frowned as their lab was literally getting robbed by the noodle menace. "I liked those gloves…" Wasabi pouted.

"And that hammer." Mikan mumbled. "Low blow, Noodle."

Hiro raised an eyebrow. "Okay, the snootiness is new."

"Purse." Gogo pointed to Honey Lemon's station, where her chem purse was.

"Wrench." She tossed her girlfriend the wrench and Gogo ran from the wall and threw it at NBB.

"Fisticuffs, eh? So it shall be." He whirred his head and charged, fists ready for punching. Honey Lemon snuck past him and grabbed her purse, she threw a chem ball and it trapped NBB.

Fred cheered. "Nice, Honey Lemon!"

NBB flew out of the chem ball with his lasers. "I say, laser, I say. Laser, laser. Oh, dear. Laser." They all got out of the laser's path, NBB landed on Wasabi's tool desk and started kicking everything off.

"I just finished organizing that!" He complained, Fred protectively held him back from tackling the robot.

"You're going down, noodle knock-off!" Gogo and Mikan threw paddles at NBB while Honey Lemon froze the floor, he ended up knocking down one of Wasabi's lasers and suddenly a leg bounced into Fred's arms again.

Hiro sharply gasped. "That was brutal…" He remembered almost walking in front of that laser during his first visit to the lab, so glad he dodged that bullet.

Fred stared at the leg. "You guys think he's okay or-" The laser caught aflame, and Wasabi ran to get an extinguisher.

"Pretty sure no." Gogo told him as the physics major doused the remains.

"And-and then he just was sliced!" Mikan gestured with her hands. "Like bam! It was brutal…" She shivered.

Sara gave her a concerned look, the Fern kids were chilling in her and David's lab, and was shocked by the retelling of the snobby NBB encounter. "You sound shaken up."
"I am."

David gasped. "Woah. I didn't think anything could scare you, Mika."

"Well, seeing a version of your robot brother get brutally shredded can shake you." Mikan mumbled. "Made me worry something like that could happen to you two."

Sara gave her older sister a hug. "Nothing bad is going to happen to us."

"I still worry though." Mikan sighed. "I couldn't protect Tri' or NBB." She grumbled. "She's on the loose alone and angry because of me…"

"I think she's more mad at Big Hero 6 for screwing up Obake's plans." David pointed out, which got a slap to the shoulder from Sara. "Ow!"

"Have some tact!" She scolded.

David ruffed his head. "I'm serious, it's not your fault Mika. You're not responsible for what Trina and NBB do."

"I know." Mikan sighed. "You sound like Mom. She tells me all the time I can't control what other people do, I can only control myself." She smiled. "It's helping a little."

"Yeah, it is." Sara nodded in agreement. "How about we all go get ice cream as some self-care therapy?"

"Ice cream!" David cheered like a little kid, his sisters giggled in agreement. Ice cream was the best self-care of all.

Ferns and Nerds group chat:

Sara Ferns: food,jpeg

Sara Ferns: When there's no cookie dough ice cream so you have to eat vanilla like a peasant :V

Rachel Rosemary: Excuse me vanilla is the best ice cream flavor you hack

Wasabi: No that's chocolate

Hiro Hamada: I'm with Sara on cookie dough

TheLittleMermaid: Cookie dough is unhealthy though!

Hiro Hamada: Oh what's the best flavor then your highness? /s

TheLittleMermaid: Mint!

Honey Lemon: Oooh mint is good too!

Fredzilla: MINT?!

Fredzilla: Ari, no.

Honey Lemon: You got a problem with mint?

Hiro Hamada: All the problems!

Gogo: Hiro we might be friends but I will call mutiny on you

Fredzilla: MINT IS A TERRIBLE FLAVOR. ESPECIALLY WITH CHOCOLATE

Mikan Ferns: Caps

TheLittleMermaid: Can I join the mutiny train too?

Rachel Rosemary: I'll mutiny you over your garbage choice in flavors

Hiro Hamada: I'll join you

Wasabi: Why would you mix mint with chocolate?

Sara Ferns: ikr?

Mikan Ferns: Don't say anything you started this stupid mess.

"What is with these random Noodle Burger Boys?" Wasabi exclaimed.

"Don't ask me." Ari shrugged, the gang was spending the evening at Fred's home eating popcorn and watching cartoons, and someone brought up the NBB clones. "Did the noodle factory create more noodle boys?"

"I hope not!" Honey Lemon shivered at the thought.

Wasabi shook his head. "No, according to Sara, the one Noodle Burger Boy was exclusive to that chain. They were gonna make more, but after he went evil, they scrapped that." He noticed Fred grinning at him. "What?!"

"Interesting how you took your time of day to ask Sara." Fred chomped on popcorn.

"It was for information!" He groaned. "Sides, I don't get why you're asking me about Sara so often."

"Because-" Gogo pushed him. "Ow! Nevermind."

Hiro cleared his throat. "Can we please get back on topic?" He was tapping away on his phone. "Not like the random Noodle Burger Boy's are from an alternate dimension."

"Or!" Fred waved a finger. "They traveled from the future, or the past! We're talking about different timelines in the Noodleverse!" He gasped dramatically. "I just blew my own mind."

Ari frowned. "Can I say something?"

"No one's stopping you." Gogo pointed out.

"I don't think it's an alternate or past or future thing, but maybe someone else besides the factory people or Krei-Tech are making more." Ari suggested. "Like that one time a bunch of discount Baymaxes were unleashed."

"Don't remind me." Wasabi winced at the memory.

Gogo flicked a piece of popcorn off her leggings. "Maybe Trina's involved."

"What do you think, Hiro?" Honey Lemon asked him, he was still on his phone. "Hiro?"

He looked up. "What? Oh, sorry. I was working on my story." Hiro gestured to the phone. "I was working on a breakthrough."

"Speaking of breakthroughs!" Ari exclaimed. "Anyone wanna read the story I did?"

"Maybe later." Fred waved it off, she pouted. "What'cha got Hiro?"

Hiro grinned devilishly. "It goes a little like this…"

As Captain Cutie and Karmi were about to share a kiss, his eyes suddenly glowed red, Karmi yelped as the rest of Big Hero 6 circled her with spooky red eyes. "We will destroy you, Karmi." He declared.

"I should have known Captain Cutie could never love me." Karmi dramatically sobbed. "I'm the worst!"

"You are the worst." Captain Cutie poked her. "But that's not the reason. We are being mind-controlled via a complex network of advanced neural implants." She gasped. "You wouldn't get it."

"You're right, I don't get it!" She wailed.

"Anyway, our new master demands that we destroy you."

"I'm so scared! Aaah!" Karmi tried to hide. But it was pointless because even under mind control, Big Hero 6 is too smart-

"Hold on." Gogo cut him off. "Why would someone take control of us just to go after Karmi?"

"That's so mean!" Ari frowned. "Leave her alone for one chapter."

Hiro ignored the latter. "You're right. She's not that important. I just couldn't think of an actual reason why fan-fic me would try to…" His face curled into disgust. "Uhg, kiss her."

"Because you do really like-" Hiro shot Honey Lemon the most disgusted glare she had ever seen. "Right. Mind control."

"Makes sense." Ari awkwardly nodded her head.

Gogo rolled her eyes. "No, it doesn't."

"Yeah?" Hiro raised an eyebrow. "Well, how would you do it then?"

"Are you getting me to do your assignment for you?"

"No…" He trailed off. "Unless you want to."

"Uhg."

The mind-controlled Big Hero 6 broke into the robotics lab. "Karmi's in here." Captain Cutie stated.

Karmi shivered under the table she was hiding, then saw some of the ceiling crumble and looked up. A perfectly cut circle fell onto the floor. "Great." She pushed the stuff off the table and got up. "Momakase." The bubblegum in her mouth popped. "The mind control thing?"

"All me." She grinned, then Karmi noticed something.

"Wait. You're a robot?"

"Yep."

"Them, too?" She pointed to Big Hero 6.

"Uh-huh."

"This is stupid." Karmi spat her gum. "I'm out."

Baymax lifted a finger. "Noodle Burger Boy is attacking the shipyard."

"Not another knock-off." Wasabi groaned.

"Aw!" Fred fell off the couch, spilling his popcorn. "Gogo, I am digging the minimalist approach."

Honey Lemon nodded. "Yeah, keeping it simple is great!"

"Thanks."

The comic fan nudged her shoulder. "You're gonna finish it later, right?"

"Definitely n-"

"Sh." He shushed her. "No spoilers."

"Hate to interrupt." Ari coughed. "But shouldn't you guys be running to the shipyard?"

"Oh, right!" She snickered as they all scrambled out of the room.

Once left to her own devices, she picked up the nearly empty popcorn bowl and finished the remains. "Works every time."

Baymax flew to the shipyard, as they landed, they heard NBB's laugh, but it sounded strange.

"Arhg!" He swung around a hook like he was straight out of a pirates movie, even had an eyepatch on his face. "What mighty treasures await me discovery here?" NBB landed on a crate, a seagull perched on his head. "Yo-ho, yo-ho! Me hearties, yo-ho!"

If Fred was not wearing his suit, his friends would see his goofy grin. "Alright! I kinda like this version!"

"Duck!" Honey Lemon pointed as NBB threw a Frederickson shipping crate at them and they scrambled to avoid getting hit.

Then lasers carved an X into the crater. "Laser! Laser! Laser!"

The comic fan winced. "Yeah, I take it back."

"Me, hearties, yo-ho!" NBB tap danced on top of another crate. "Take that, ya scurvy sea dogs!" He lasered the bottom off and began swinging at them.

"What's he after Bay-"

Flip-flip-flip-flip

The disgusting stench of butterfish greeted his nostrils as NBB dumped a crateful on them. "It appears to be seafood." The robot stated.

Wasabi shuddered as he wiped the butterfish off his shoulders. "Why seafood?"

"It doesn't matter. Let's go." Baymax flew up to the crane the pirate was on, he leapt off to avoid them.

"What be this?" NBB stared. "Hostiles?" Gogo leapt up and tossed a disk at him, somehow he dodged.

"Argh! Laser!" He shot at her. "Laser!" A rocket fist punched him where the nose would be if he had one.

"Got him!" Fred cackled, the other three were waiting for him at the bottom. Wasabi charged first.

But NBB kept dodging the blades. "Have at ye, blige rat!" The small robot jumped, grabbing the butterfish in Wasabi's curly hair. Then NBB slapped him with it.

Wanting to avenge his friend, Fred roared flames and jumped, only to get hit with said fish. "How does a fish hit so hard?" He mumbled.

"I gotcha!" Honey Lemon shot ice at NBB, he fled to the upper levels and she followed via a goopy slide.

He kept chanting "Yo-ho!" As she threw chem balls at him, until he shot back with laser eyes and knocked her over.

Fred caught her, thankfully. "And I'm returning the catch." He quipped, Honey Lemon chuckled at the little joke.

"Argh!" NBB turned a corner and got cornered by Hiro, Baymax, and Gogo. "Ah, you think you get me bettered, ya bloomin cockroaches!?" There was an intense staring contest between them, and the random seagull perched on NBB's head again.

Gogo made the first move, charging, then got hit with a fish again. "Dead men tell no tales!" Then NBB struck Baymax, but the fish had no effect.

"Why is he hitting me with a fish?" Baymax questioned, he got out of the way as Gogo tossed two disks.

The first one missed, but the second one looped around and hit NBB in the back of the head, he fell upwards and his laser eyes hit a crave above.

She requipped the disks back onto her arms. "Blow the man down." Gogo said as the others caught up.

As the crate fell, Baymax shielded the comic fan's eyes. "Fred, do not look."

CRASH!

Boing! A leg fell into Baymax's hands, and he gave it to Fred.

"Wow." He flipped his hood off. "What are the odds?"

Flame Jumper: ROFL

As Fred walked into his room, he saw someone still on his couch munching on popcorn. "Shouldn't you have finished that by now?" He asked Ari.

"I made some more." She said through mumbled bites. "Also, I wasn't feeling good."

He frowned, was it because of bad memories? "Do you wanna stay over? My parents are chill with friends staying overnight."

"Obviously." She chuckled. "Otherwise you wouldn't host so many sleepovers, unless you're a rebel." The comic fan ruffled her hair.

"Cheek!" Fred rolled his eyes. "I'll call Aunt Cass and Hiro to let them know you're staying, and if you're still not feeling good, lemme know. I always keep some snacks in my fridge."

Ari nodded. "Thanks." She then paused. "Can I ask a dumb question?"

"Sure!"

"Does it hurt…" The sweater girl fidgeted with her sleeves. "Seeing NBB all evil?"

Fred was a little confused, now that he thought about it… it did hurt, but it wasn't NBB's entire fault, if it weren't for that chip, he'd be his normal happy self! Wait. Irony. He realized. "Uh, sometimes, but my friends make it hurt less. Does that help?"

She smiled up at him. "A little bit." A yawn escaped her throat.

"You should probably sleep." He chuckled, feeling a yawn coming up from him. "But before that, I think it's a good time to share your story, if you're up for it."

Her blue eyes lit up like she was waterbending. "Yeah!" Ari magically pulled out the story. "It starts like this… In a forest outside the great kingdom, there was a mighty dragon-"

Fred cracked a grin at her dramatic narrating, she definitely got it from him.

AN: this one was a little short. Not sure what to say here but hope you guys enjoyed!
