[Jokes on you! I already wrote the ENTIRE FUCKING MOVIE.]
7:42 PM, July 6th, 2032, San Fransokyo, Japan...
[Play: Hiro Hamada, by Henry Jackman.]
In a rather large alley, two people are controlling mechs. One is kitted out with claw-like appendages that also conduct electricity. And the other is stylized like a Samurai of old, but with a buzzsaw for a hand that acts like a shield, and a claw like appendage for the other arm.
The one controlled by the pink haired opponent manages to land an uppercut that knocks the black Battlebot down. It begins to go in for a pulverizing shock, but the arm is intercepted by the claw-like appendage of the samurai-bot.
It deconstructs the shield to allow the buzzsaw to whirr around while it shoves it into the back of the silver bot. Destroying it.
Money is taken and exchanged around by the surrounding crowd as a female announcer with an eyepatch makes her way to the victor with a covered betting plate.
"The winner, by total annihilation... Yama!" The large man shoots upward at a fast speed.
"Who is next?" He takes the money he gained and the money he betted. "Who has the guts, to step into the ring, with Little Yama?!" Two people with rather solid looking bots either hide it behind their back, or straight up rip the head off.
"Can I try?" Yama turns around with a questioning hum, to see a fourteen year old kid with wild hair. "I have a robot." He holds it up to show the rather adorable nature of it. "I built it myself!" People in the crowd chuckle as Yama suddenly bursts out in laughter.
The announcer smirks. "Beat it kid. House rules. You gotta pay to play." He reaches into his pocket. "Oh, uh, Is this enough?" The teen pulls a bunch of crumpled up bills out of his hoodie pocket.
"What's your name, Little boy?" The large man questions. "Hiro, Hiro Hamada."
"Prepare your bot, Zero." Yama taunts Hiro.
The two place their bets into the plate. Hiro has to place a few coins in as well. The two place their bots down, Yama's sitting up, while Hiro's falls into a sitting position. The two sit down and Yama cracks his neck. Hiro does the same, but imitates the cracking with his mouth.
The announcer places a red and white paper umbrella in between the two. "Two bots enter, one bot leaves." Hiro looks over the umbrella. "Fighters ready? Fight!" She removes the umbrella as the two bots begin to make their way to each other. Yama's moving menacingly and quick. While hiro's is moving cutely and slow, as if it were going to hug the death mechanism.
The claw launches hiro's bot into the air and the saw swipes the three sections apart causing the parts to clang onto the concrete ground. Hiro leans toward his bot and exclaims. "That was my first fight! I... Can I try again?"
"No one likes a sore loser, little boy." Yama reaches his hand to the open plate with cash. "Go home."
"I got more money." Hiro holds up a fat roll of bills with a rubber band. Yama smirks as the two place double the money than before into the plate.
"Fighters ready?! Fight!" The referee removes the umbrella once again as Yama's bot gets into a fighting stance.
Hiro's bot begins rolling and piecing itself back together. "Mega-Bot..." Hiro extends his controller with a devilish smirk. "Destroy." The bot's friendly green face turns into an angry red face with a sharp grin.
Mega-Bot begins to dodge every swipe and claw until it splits apart and begins to make its way up to an arm and detach it with a spin, as if it were an electric screwdriver. It begins beating off the other arm with the claw.
When it finally breaks off, Mega-Bot moves to it's head and begins smacking it in the face at a high speed. Before moving like a snake around it's head and squeezing, popping the head off of the body, causing it to deactivate and spark.
The bot lands in front of Hiro, in Spider-Man's landing pose, before standing up and switching back to the friendly Mega-Bot and bowing.
"No more Little Yama." Hiro begins shoving the money into his bag.
"But, wha... This is not possible!"
"Hey, I'm as surprised as you are. Beginner's luck." Yama moves forward with a few goons. "Do you wanna go again," Hiro looks up to the tall man. "Yama?" He gets thrown into the wall behind him as Yama yells in his face.
"No one hustles Yama!" He takes Hiro's bot. "Whoa, hey..."
"Teach him a lesson." Hiro steps back and tries to persuade the men from beating him up.
"Hey, fellas. Let's talk about this." Suddenly, Tadashi's Moped races down the alley, causing the men to jump back.
"Hiro! Get on!" Hiro jumps up, off of the wall and climbs onto the bike. "Tadashi! Oh, good timing!" Tadashi places a white helmet with a red stripe onto Hiro's head and speeds down the alley.
Yama laughs and holds up Mega-Bot, which suddenly begins smacking him in the face, causing him to fall down.
Hiro holds his hand down, allowing his robot to speed into his hand.
Tadashi makes a hard right turn. "Are you alright?!"
"Yeah!"
"Are you hurt?!"
"No!"
Tadashi begins hitting Hiro. "Then what were you thinking, Knucklehead?!" The two come to a dead end, causing Tadashi to turn around and speed to a different part of the alley.
"You graduated High School when you were thirteen, and this is what you're doing?!"
"There they are!" The men block the alley, but Tadashi notices a board, conveniently placed as a ramp. "Hold on!" He goes even faster as he hits the ramp. Causing the two to go eight feet in the air.
"Whoo-Hoo! Yes!" The men turn around and try running to them, but can't catch up.
Tadashi continues to lecture Hiro. "Bot-Fighting is illegal. You're gonna get yourself arrested!" Hiro argues. "Bot-Fighting is not illegal! Betting on Bot-Fighting, that's... That's illegal. But so lucrative!" He places his elbow on his brother's shoulder. "I'm on a roll, big brother!" Hiro raises his hands into the air with money in his hand. "And there is no stopping me!"
The bike screeches to a halt in front of three police cars.
"Oh no."
Both are quickly placed in handcuffs and put into containment cells. Hiro by himself, while Tadashi is stuck with everyone who was arrested that night. Which is over seventy people.
A few minutes later, Cass is pacing outside the building, biting her fingernails. The two are let out with a warning, both saying the same thing.
"Hi, Aunt Cass." She runs over and hugs them both. "Are you guys okay? Tell me you're okay."
"We're fine."
"We're okay." Cass lets out a breath while touching the skin next to their ears. "Oh, good." She begins to pull on their ears. "Then what were you two thinking?!"
Suddenly, the three are driving home in a truck. "for ten years, I have done the best I could to raise you" She parks the car and clams the door shut. "Have I been perfect? No!" She unlocks the café door. "Do I know anything about children? No! Should I have called May more often? Probably! Where was I going with this? I had a point."
"Sorry."
"We love you, Aunt cass." The two say nervously.
"Well, I love you, too!" She picks up a chocolate donut. "I had to close up early because of you two felons." She turns around to face them. "On beat poetry night!" She takes a large bite of the gooey dough. "Stress eating! Because of you!" She turns around and walks away. "Come on Mochi!" Mochi meows. " is really good!"
The two get up the stairs and Hiro immediately looks up current Bot-Fights.
"You better make this up to Aunt Cass before she eats everything in the café."
"For sure."
"And I hope you learned your lesson, Bonehead."
Hiro turns around in his chair. "Absolutely."
"You're going Bot-Fighting aren't you?"
"There's a fight across town! If I book, I can still make it." Hiro gets out of his chair and begins walking away before Tadashi grabs his hood.
"When are you going to start doing something with that big brain of yours?" He taps Hiro on the forehead.
"What? Like go to college like you and Peter? So people can tell me stuff that I already know?" Tadashi looks at him as if nothing he's saying is getting through his thick skull. "Unbelievable." He slides his hand down his face. "Oh, what would mom and dad say?"
"I don't know, They're gone. They died when I was three, remember?" Hiro almost gets to the stairs. "Hey!" Tadashi tosses the white helmet to Hiro. "I'll take you."
"Really?"
Tadashi sighs. "I can't stop you from going, but I'm not going to let you go on your own." He spins his goggled helmet as Hiro shrugs.
"Sweet." Hiro shrugs before following.
8:20 PM, July 6th, 2032, SFIT Campus...
Tadashi is driving toward the labs. With Hiro involuntarily being driven there.
"What are we doing at your nerd school?!" He hits Tadashi's shoulder with his palm. "Bot-Fight's that way!" Hiro points backward while Tadashi parks his bike in front of the lab building and takes off his helmet.
"Gotta grab something." The two walk into the building and take an elevator.
"Is this gonna take long?" Hiro asks while begrudgingly following Tadashi through a hall.
"Relax, you big baby. We'll be in and out." Tadashi opens a door. "Anyway, you've never seen my lab."
"Oh, Great, I get to see your nerd lab!" Hiro says sarcastically before Someone speeds past him.
"Heads up!"
"Whoa!"
Hiro dodges as Go Go brakes, stopping into her lab section. That looks like a bike repair and modification section. She places the bike in a mag suspension and inspects the back wheel of the bike, before tossing it behind her. It auto locking into place on the bike.
Hiro takes a look at the room he just stepped into. Seeing two robots playing perfect ping pong, a cat with rocket-slippers, a dude using suction cups to move the small box that he's standing on, Some people coding, and someone moving around a pill shaped robot.
He walks over to the bike and notices that the wheel isn't even on the yellow contraption. He moves his hand through and feels the magnetism in his hand.
"Whoa... Electro-Mag suspension?"
"Hey! Who are you?" A helmeted Go Go asks making Hiro stumble on his words. "Uh, I'm-"
"Go Go, this is my brother Hiro." Tadashi introduces the two as Go Go removes her helmet and blows a bubble, popping it between her teeth.
"Welcome to the nerd lab." Hiro chuckles nervously at the deadpan. "Yeah... I've never seen Electro-Mag suspension on a bike before."
Go Go spins the back wheel. "Zero resistance, faster bike." She pulls off the wheel. "But, not fast enough..." She throws it, making it go into a pile of other Electro-Mag wheels. "Yet." She walks off as Hiro walks over to Wasabi's experiment.
"Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." He holds his hand in front of Hiro causing him to stumble backward a little. "Do not move. Behind the line please." He points to the yellow and black line in his workstation.
"Hey, Wasabi. This is my brother Hiro."
"Hello, Hiro. Prepare to be amazed." He moves around his contraption and grabs an apple. "Catch." He tosses it through and it cuts into extremely thin cuts.
Hiro grabs one. "Wow." Wasabi turns the light on for his contraption, showing very thin lines of light.
"Laser-Induced Plasma?"
"Oh, yeah. With a little magnetic confinement, for uh, Ultra-Precision." He straightens his tools.
Hiro picks up a magnifying glass. "Wow. How do you find anything in this mess?"
"Oh! I have a system." He snatches it out of Hiro's hand and places it back. "There's a place for everything, and everything in its place." Suddenly, Go Go snatches a wrench, making everything go out of place. "Need this!"
"Y-You can't do that!" He begins running after her. "This is anarchy! Society has rules!" Honey Lemon comes through with a large black ball and a pair of earbuds blasting music.
"Excuse me! Coming through!" She says in a sing song voice rolling the ball into position. She notices the two as she lets her hair fall to the ground.
"Tadashi! Oh, my gosh! You must be Hiro!" She gets up into his face, yelling. "I've heard so much about you!" She takes out her earbuds and kisses him on both cheeks.
"Perfect timing. Perfect timing." She grabs Hiro's hand and presses a button on the floor with her foot. Causing the ball to be lifted up.
"That's a whole lot of Tungsten Carbide."
"Four-Hundred pounds of it! Come here, come here, come here." She drags him to her chemistry setup.
"You're going to love this. A dash of Perchloric Acid, a smidge of Cobalt, a hint of Hydrogen Peroxide, Super heated to Five-Hundred Kelvin, and... She begins spraying the gas all around the ball. Before flipping a switch, causing the ball to become pink.
"Ta-Da! It's pretty great, huh?"
"It's so... Pink."
"Here's the best part." She begins giggling as she steps to the now Pink ball. She taps it, causing it to explode in a gaseous, pink, mess.
"Whoa." The gas dissipates revealing Honey Lemon covered in pink dust.
"I know, right?" She laughs. "Chemical metal embrittlement!"
"Not bad Honey Lemon." Tadashi compliments before the three hear a small explosion and a grunt of pain. The three walk over to see a more muscled Peter, with Facial hair on his face, working on a new device.
[Heads up, the first chapter's Peter was based on the Spectacular Spider-Man version. While in this and every chapter forward has him looking like Rocky from Rocky IV. I'll write a flashback chapter as to show the whole shabing shabang.]
"How's it going Houdini? Haven't seen you since the Carnage Incident!" Tadashi exclaims happily while hugging him.
"Been a while..." Peter says a little detached. His gaze on Hiro. He lets go of the hug after patting Tadashi on the back and sits back down.
"Why haven't you come home man? It's been five months." He asks with a slightly straight face.
Peter looks down and lets out a breath, like it was a chuckle. "I Just got here, I was making something for each of you."
Tadashi looks at him pleadingly, for him to tell him the whole truth.
Peter sighs. "I wasn't fast or strong enough to save someone right in front of me, and that screwed with my mind, big time. I went to New york and did some..." He looks at his long sleeve, white cotton shirt clad, body. And has a flashback.
Peter is in a room with a fire burning next to him, doing pull ups with modified weights on him. Being egged on by the retired hero, Luke Cage. It suddenly cuts to him Jump-Roping very fast in a black tank top, again with weights.
It cuts again to Luke holding his feet on the second story of the room. Making him do elevated sit ups while punching.
Another cut to a beardless Peter, and Luke chopping wood in the freezing temperatures of upstate New York. Another switch to Peter hitting a modified speed bag.
Next, he lifts up a lot of weights by using a rope and a net. Then doing calisthenics immediately after.
It switches again to a similar to now Peter Shadow-Boxing in the same outfit he's wearing in the present.
Back to a less muscled Peter using a huge Yolk around his neck, again next to the fire. He then begins lifting a wooden wheelbarrow with weights and Luke, in and on it.
It then cuts to him running in the blazing sun with heavy clothes on, all around New York City.
Another cut, to Peter being punched in the stomach, telling Luke to "Come on! Hit harder!". Another switch to Peter punching meat on a hook, that is the size of a person.
Peter looks up. "Personal improvement." Peter turns around and grabs something, tossing it to Hiro. "A little something that I came up with." Hiro inspects the small mechanism.
"A gravity servo?"
"A Grav-Servo that can be used as a concussion blast, or if you find yourself in a tight situation." Peter looks at him with a smirk. "Bot-Fighting and all... Everyone not touching you will be hit in a one point seven-five multiplier of gravity within a fifteen meter radius, when you press this button."
"Whoa." Peter smiles crookedly and hugs him. "Missed you man." He lets go as Honey Lemon takes a photo.
Hiro questions the nicknames. ""Houdini"? "Honey Lemon"? "Wasabi"?"
"I spilled wasabi on my shirt one time, people." Wasabi pushes a door open with a lot of force. "One time!"
"Fred is the one who comes up with the nicknames. But don't call Peter "Houdini", unless he disappears."
"Uh, who's Fred?" Hiro asks.
"This guy, right here!"
A man in a salamander mascot costume causes Hiro to scream.
"Ah-ah. Don't be alarmed." Fred moves the mouth upward. "It is just a suit. This is not my real face and body." He lets the mouth fall onto his arm as he shakes Hiro's hand.
"The name's Fred! School mascot by day, but by night..." He spins the board in his hands.
"I am also a school mascot." He flips the hood open and finishes his sentence with a chillaxed face.
"So, what's your major?"
"No, no, no, I'm not a student." He walks over to a couch chair. "But I am a major science enthusiast." He sits down and grabs a comic book, showing a fire breathing lizard.
"I've been trying to get Honey to develop a formula, that can turn me into a fire-breathing lizard at will. But she says that's "not science"."
"I-It's really not."
"Well, the lizard part is achievable, but fire-breathing and having complete control over your mind is impossible." Peter explains making Fred look at him with starry eyes.
"I accidentally helped create the Lizard. The Doc basically becomes immortal when he takes the serum. But he also goes crazy. So we destroyed all the documents of it and purged his brain of the formula." Fred goes a little dejected.
"What about an invisible sandwich?"
"Now that, is not science. An invisibility fabric is possible though."
"Hiro!" Tadashi motions for him to follow him into a hallway of private labs. The two walk into Tadashi's lab, Hiro touches a 3D printing arm.
"So, uh, what have you been working on?" Tadashi turns around. "I'll show ya." He rips off a tab of duct tape.
"Duct tape?" Hiro sighs. "Hate to break it to you, bro. Already been invented." Tadashi rolls back Hiro's sleeve and quickly rips off the tape after placing it on.
"OW! Dude! Ow!" The red container opens and inflates a large marshmallow looking robot.
"This is what I've been working on." The bot awkwardly steps out of its charging station. It walks forward until it bumps into a small stool. The marshmallow bot picks it up and moves it to an empty space.
:Hello. I am Baymax. Your personal healthcare companion. I was alerted to the need for medical attention when you said, "Ow.": Baymax waves in a small circle.
"A robotic nurse."
:On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?" A screen pops up on where his chest is.
"Physical or emotional?" Tadashi makes a mock sad face. :I will scan you now.: Baymax looks Hiro up and down. :Scan complete.: A projection of a body appears on Baymax.
:You have a slight Epidermal Abrasion on your forearm.: Baymax raises a finger. :I suggest an Anti-Bacterial spray."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's in the spray, specifically?"
:The primary ingredient is Bacitracin.: Hiro clicks his tongue. "That's a bummer. I'm actually allergic to that."
:You are not allergic to Bacitracin. You do have a mild allergy to Peanuts.:
"Hmm. Not bad." Baymax sprays Hiro's forearm. "You've done some serious coding on this thing, huh?"
"Uh-Huh. Programmed him with over 10,000 Medical procedures." He taps the solid circle on Baymax, revealing chip slots. "This chip is what makes Baymax, Baymax." Hiro presses the chip back into Baymax's body.
He begins poking around Baymax's body. "Vinyl?"
"Yeah, going for a Non-Threatening, huggable kind of thing."
"Looks like a walking marshmallow. No offense."
:I am a robot. I cannot be offended.: BAymax tilts his head.
"Hyperspectral cameras?" He taps Baymax's emotionless eyes. "Yep."
"Huh." Hiro smashes his face into Baymax's chest. "Titanium skeleton?"
"Carbon fiber."
"Right. Even lighter." Hiro gasps. "Killer actuators! Where did you get those?"
"Machined them right here, In-House."
"Really?"
"Yup. He can lift up to 1,000 pounds."
"Shut up." Hiro says in disbelief. :You have been a good boy. Have a lollipop.: Hiro takes the red sweet. "Nice."
:I cannot deactivate until you say, you are satisfied with your care.:
"Well then, I'm satisfied with my care." Baymax moves back to his charging station and powers down.
"He's going to help a lot of people."
"Hey, what kind of battery does it use?"
"Lithium-Ion." Tadashi shrugs.
"You know, Supercapacitors would charge way faster."
"Huh."
"Burning the Midnight oil, Mr Hamada?"
"Oh, hey, Professor. Actually, I was just finishing up."
Robert seems to know who Hiro is. "You must be Hiro. Bot-Fighter, right? When my daughter was younger, that's all she wanted to do. May I?" Hiro hands him Mega-Bot and he inspects it closely.
"Uh, sure."
Callaghan hums. "Magnetic-Bearing servos."
"Pretty sick, huh? Wanna see how I put'em together?" Tadashi knocks on the glass, making it transparent. "Hey genius! He invented them." Hiro turns back to the professor.
"Y-You're Robert Callaghan? L-Like, as in, the Callaghan-Catmull spline, and Callaghan's "Laws of Robotics"?"
"That's right... Ever think about applying here?" He hands Hiro back his bot. "Your age wouldn't be an issue."
"Oh, I don't know. He's pretty serious about his career in Bot-Fighting. So serious that Peter had to make him a Grav-Servo with a concussion blast!"
"Well, kind of serious."
I can see why. With your bot, winning must come easy." The three make it to the elevator. "Yeah, I guess."
"Well, if you like things east, then my program isn't for you. We push the boundaries of robotics and tech here. My students go on to shape the future. Nice to meet you, Hiro. Good luck with the Bot-Fights." Callaghan lets the doors close as he walks away.
On the outside, Tadashi starts his Red Moped and tells Hiro to get on if he wants to make it to the Bot-Fight.
"I have to go here. I-If I don't go to this nerd school, I'm gonna lose my mind! How do I get in?!"
Tadashi smirks.
10:25 AM, July 7th, 2032, Hamada and Parker Household...
Tadashi Staples a poster for the SFIT showcase over a Bot-Fighting one.
"Every year, the school has a student showcase. You come up with something that blows Callaghan away, you're in..." Tadashi says as Peter finishes the statement. "But it has to be spectacular."
Hiro looks at the poster. "Trust me..." He rolls over to his desk. "It will be." The two adults look on as Hiro begins to get ready to brainstorm ideas.
Peter hands Tadashi a Suspension Matrix, styled as a necklace. "What's this for?"
"If i've rubbed off on you even a little bit, you're probably going to run into a burning building without a second thought. And I don't want one of my brothers to die." Peter points at the Matrix now around Tadashi's neck.
"That's the most advanced one yet. Anything non-organic is repulsed for ten minutes. So an explosion is completely survivable now. So Keep that thing on at all times. It's waterproof too." Peter stretches.
"Thanks Pete." Peter walks down the stairs. "No problem man."
6:50 PM, July 7th, 2032, Hamada and Parker Household...
Dozens of crumpled up papers are scattered around Hiro's half of the room. Hiro himself bangs his head on his desk.
*Bonk!*
"Nothing!"
*Thump!*
"No Ideas!"
*Thonk!*
"Useless,"
*Thud!*
"Empty,"
*Thud!*
"Brain!"
*Thud!*
"Wow, washed up at fourteen." Tadashi turns a page of his book. "So sad." He snarks.
Hiro leans back in his chair. "I got nothing! I'm done. I'm never getting in." Tadashi spins him around. "Hey, I'm not giving up on you." He picks Hiro up by the shins, causing him to yelp.
He jumps around a little. "What are you doing?!"
"Shake things up! Use that big brain of yours to think your way out!"
"What?" Tadashi shakes his head. "Look for a new angle." Hiro sighs and lets his body go limp, his gaze conveniently landing on Mega-Bot. "Huh."
Early the next morning. Hiro opens the garage and sets Mega-Bot down on a table. He begins to work over the course of several weeks.
The time lapse shows him slowly filling up the garage with filled trash cans. Tadashi, Peter, and the others checking in on his progress.
When he finally finishes. Tadashi and Hiro look at the millions if not billions of Microbots that Hiro made. The two fist bump, both imitating an explosion.
6:45 PM, August 12th, 2032, SFIT Showcase Building...
The eight are walking with the trashcans to the stage, as the room buzzes with chatter and whirring of contraptions.
"Wow, a lot of sweet tech here today. How're you feeling?"
"You're talking to an Ex-Bot Fighter. Takes a lot more than this to rattle me." Hiro states with a confident tone.
"Yup, he's quaking in his boots." Peter states. "Oh, you have nothing to fear, little fellow."
"He's so tense."
"No, I'm not."
"Relax Hiro! Your tech is amazing. Tell him, Go Go!"
"Stop whining. Woman up."
"I'm fine!"
"What do you need, little man? Deodorant? Breath mint? Fresh pair of underwear?"
"Underwear? You need serious help." Go Go states. "Hey, I come prepared."
Fred sits up on the stage. "I haven't done laundry in six months. One pair lasts me four days. I go front, I go back, I go inside-out. Then I go front and back." Wasabi gags.
"Wow. That is both disgusting and awesome." Tadashi encourages.
"Don't encourage him."
"It's called "recycling"."
:"Next presenter, Hiro Hamada.":
Fred looks at the spotlight and chuckles. "Oh, yeah. This is it."
"I guess I'm up."
"Okay, photo, photo!" Honey Lemon pushes the group together. "Everybody say, "Hiro"."
All of them say Hiro except Hiro himself, who just smiles awkwardly. "We love you, Hiro!"
"Don't Mess it up."
"Break a leg, little man."
"SCIENCE, YEAH!"
"Find your voice Hiro." Peter encourages and walks off.
"All right, bro. This is it." Tadashi holds his fist up. "Come on. Don't leave me hanging... What's going on?" Hiro swallows some spit. "I really want to go here." Tadashi places his hand on his shoulder/ "hey." He squats down a little. "You got this."
Hiro nods and walks up the stage with a microphone secured in both his hands. He clears his throat. "Uh... Hi. My name is Hiro..." The mic gives some feedback, causing people to recoil. "S-Sorry... My name is Hiro Hamada, and I've been working on something that I think is pretty cool." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a neural transmitter and something else from his pocket.
"This is a microbot." One of the people walk away. Causing him to look for his friends.
He spots Tadashi who mouths the word. "Breathe." Following the advice, Hiro continues.
"It doesn't look like much, but when it links up with the rest of it's pals.." The trashcans fall over and the hordes of microbots begin to link up onto the stage.
"...Things get a little more interesting." He lets go of the microbot, that flies into the others and links to them. "The microbots are controlled with this neural transmitter. He takes it off which causes the bots to fall. He does the opposite, which causes them to link up again.
"I think what I want them to do..." They form a hand and wave. "They do it!"
"The applications for this tech are limitless... Construction!" The bots begin building a tower in seconds. "What used to take teams of people working by hand for months or years," Hiro appears on top of the structure. "Can now be accomplished by one person... And that's just the beginning." He steps off of the tower.
"How about transportation?" Hiro is caught by the fluid moving microbots and moves throughout the crowd. "Microbots can move anything, anywhere, with ease." He flips upside down and High fives Peter and Tadashi.
"If you can think it, the microboots can do it!" Hiro steps to the stage again and comes down in an escalator of microbots. "The only limit is your imagination." He lets them fall and reform into a giant microbot.
"Microbots!"
The crowd cheers ecstatically. Hiro and the Microbots bow at the same time.
Cass cheers a little too much. "That's my nephew! Whoo-Hoo! My family! I love my family!" She begins to shake Peter.
Tadashi and Hiro do a secret handshake at the success.
The group begins to congratulate Hiro until a smooth voice cuts in.
"Yes. With some development, your tech could become revolutionary."
"Alistair Krei!" Hiro exclaims as Krei holds a hand out. "May I?" Hiro hands him a microbot and he inspects it.
"Hmm. Extraordinary. I want your microbots at Krei Tech!"
"Shut up!" Hiro says in disbelief.
"Mr. Krei is right. Your microbots are an inspired piece of tech. You can continue to develop them, or you can sell them to a man who's only guided by his own self interest."
"Robert, I know how you feel about me, but it shouldn't affect-"
"This is your decision, Hiro. But you should know Mr. Krei had cut corners and ignored sound science to get where he is."
Alistair tries to argue. "That's just not true."
"I wouldn't trust Krei Tech with your microbots, or anything else" Krei clasps his hands together. "Hiro, I'm offering you more money than any fourteen year-old could imagine."
Hiro looks down in thought. "I appreciate the offer, Mr. Krei, but they're not for sale."
"I thought that you were smarter than that..." Krei straightens his blazer. "Robert." He walks off with his assistant but is stopped by Tadashi.
"Mr. Krei. That's my brother's."
"Oh. That's right." He tosses the microbot to Hiro.
Robert hands Hiro an acceptance letter. "I look forward to seeing you in class."
The front doors to the Expo burst open with the group cheering.
"All right geniuses, let's feed those hungry brains. Back to the Café! Dinner is on me!"
Fred yells in delight. "Yes! Nothing is better than free food! Unless it's moldy!" The group begins to walk to the cafe, but Hiro and Tadashi stay behind.
"Aunt Cass? We'll, uh... We'll catch up, okay?"
"Sure!" She moves over and hugs them. "I'm so proud of you!"
"Thanks, Aunt Cass." Cass leaves to catch up to the others, while the two walk over to a bridge overlooking the labs.
"I know what you're going to say." Hiro begins to speak in a deep voice. "I should be proud of myself, because I'm finally using my gift for something important!"
"No, no. I was just gonna tell you your fly was down for the whole show."
"Ha-Ha-Hilarious." Hiro checks. "What?!" He zips it back up and hits Tadashi with his elbow.
"Welcome to nerd school, nerd."
"Hey, I um... I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. So, you know, thanks for not giving up on me." Suddenly an alarm buzzes, causing Tadashi and Hiro too run back to the showcase building, finding it on fire!
Tadashi helps a woman from falling. "Are you okay?" The girl coughs that she's okay. But that Callaghan is still in the building. Tadashi tries to run into the building but Hiro stops him.
