Have you guys read ReeReeWithAngst's fic Cascarones.. no? What are you guys doing here?! Read it! It's a fic they made that includes Ari! Check it out because it's so wholesome and cute!
Now if you've already seen it, enjoy the chapter!
"Hey Hiro, I made you some soup," Ari walked up to him holding a bowl of chicken noodle soup.
He sneezed, "oh, thanks Ari," he'd been stuck in bed all day. It was most likely evening judging by how darker the sky was outside his window. He didn't have much to do after ending the call with his friends after all.
"Are you feeling better soon?" Ari had a look of concern on her face, "do you need me to get Baymax?"
"I'm feeling a little better, you don't have to get Baymax," Hiro told her, he wasn't that sick, he sneezed again and Ari took a few steps back. "Oh sorry."
"It's fine," Ari started dusting her sleeves, "you get some rest." She walked over and adjusted his blankets in an attempt to warm him up.
"Alright," Hiro mumbled, giving a small wave as she went back downstairs. He'd try to stay in bed, until there was any sign of the Mad Jacks like he told the others would happen, it was inevitable.
"Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Jacks-" Krei closes the video, he too had been poking for information about the Mad Jacks.
"I'll admit, their theme song is catchy," he holds the chip in his hand, "it'll be there all week."
"Do you know it costs a small fortune to hire these Mad Jack guys?" Judy questions, looking a little concerned for her boss's safety.
Krei didn't look bothered, "it's good to know that someone thinks that I'm worth the effort."
"They think that chip you have is worth the effort."
"Well they're not getting it!" Krei exclaims, "I bested every black market bid for this chip! It is the cutting edge, it is the future."
Judy shakes her head, "and you have no idea what it does."
"No," Krei acknowledges, "but I will, the next step is to have my tech security team to analyze it."
"That's surprisingly cautious of you," Judy notes.
"Well I had my mechanic pestering me about the chip, for some reason." Krei explained, "and I am cautious-"
He's cut off by the sound of two of the Mad Jacks, Jaq and Jack, slamming into the office windows. The glass strong enough to keep them out, they slide out of sight. "I upgraded my office windows, impermeable."
"Just your office windows?" Judy raises an eyebrow at him.
"Yeah? Why?" There was a crash sound from downstairs.
"Did you by any chance upgrade your floor?" Judy stares at the floor, as the leader of the Mad Jacks emerges from the floor, with a certain mechanic snatched up by his left arm.
"I see what you mean aaah!" Krei yelps as Greg grabs him and flies down the hole.
"Oh dear.." Judy winced, seeing as Steven and Krei were just abducted by the Mad Jacks. She did not want to be the one to tell Sally the bad news.
Meanwhile, Hiro couldn't sleep, he had to stay up in case anything happened.
"All units, disturbance reported at Krei-Tech Industries," he had hacked into the police radio so he could hear if anything happened.
"Something's up..I knew it," Hiro mumbled, his face lying on his pillow.
"Reports of an aerial attack-"
"Mad Jacks!" Hiro shoots up out of bed, as he gets up he makes eye contact with Baymax's charging station. The robot was deactivated and "asleep" for a better lack of a term, he knew Baymax would try to stop him from going to help. So he'd have to solo it, nothing could go wrong right?
Ferns and Nerds group chat:
TheLittleMermaid: Hey Sara, you alright?
Sara Ferns: NO

Sara Ferns: THIS IS ALL KREI'S FAULT
Fredilicous24: Steven got kidnapped by the Mad Jacks?!
Mikan Ferns: How do you know their names
TheLittleMermaid: Who?
Sara Ferns: Brb going to sob into a corner
Wasabi: Wait, Mikan you know who the Mad Jacks are?
Mikan Ferns: Not personally! I just heard of them once!
Honey Lemon: I'm sure it'll all work out guys!
TheLittleMermaid: Also guys can you come over to visit Hiro? We got back from the doctors and he broke his leg somehow : (
Fredilicous24: What happened?
TheLittleMermaid: Idk, he said video game accident but I think he's lying. I'll leave him alone for the day but you guys should visit
Wasabi: We'll try to
"Almost done, and there!" Honey Lemon beamed, her, Gogo, Wasabi, and Fred were visiting Hiro as he was resting his broken leg. Which was broken after a late night encounter with the Mad Jacks, and his leg broke when Jack tossed him into a dumpster. Honey Lemon was currently decorating his cast with smiling lemon faces.
"A smile helps you heal! Now get well soon Hiro," she smiled at him.
"Yeah, and quit doing dumb stuff," Gogo adds in, as she fluffend up his pillows a little.
"Seriously, can't be too careful," Wasabi chimes, he's wearing a mask to avoid getting sick.
Fred swerves in a chair close to the bed, "It's outrageous! To sneak outside in your condition, to chase down flying daredevils and not call me?! Uhg, there are no words."
"Not now Fred," Gogo rolled her eyes, bothered that Fred was annoyed he wasn't invited rather than Hiro snuck out while he was sick.
"Hey I knew that Krei was in danger!' Hiro exclaimed.
"And you had to prove you were right," Gogo shook her head.
"I was right! And now ah-" He flinched in pain as he tried moving his leg, but Baymax held the cast.
"Your leg should remain elevated," Baymax places Hiro's leg back on a pillow to keep it safe, "also, you still require fluids and rest." Baymax takes a cup of tea from Honey Lemon and hands it to Hiro.
"Fine.." Hiro grumbles, "but we got to rescue Krei, and also Steven," he felt guilty remembering that Sara's uncle got abducted by the Mad Jacks for some reason.
"We know and we'll try," Wasabi tells him, "the healthcare companion has spoken people, visiting hours are over."
"Right, rest up!"
"And wise up."
"And no secret missions!" Honey Lemon, Gogo, and Fred begin to exit, the latter leans in to whisper, "but if there are, you got my digits right?"
Hiro sighed and rolled his eyes at Fred who is being dragged away by Gogo, "Krei's the one in danger! Not me!"
"This situation requires persistence," Baymax states.
Hiro attempts to climb out of bed, "I know, that's why I can't just give up."
Baymax grabs Hiro and places him back on the bed and puts his broken foot on the pillow, "persistence is part of my healthcare matrix."
Hiro sighed in frustration, he was not getting back into the fight anytime soon.
Steven was not having a fun time.
First he got kidnapped by the Mad Jacks, second he was kidnapped with his headache of a boss, thirdly the Mad Jacks were forcing him to do maintenance on their ship! Could he catch a break already!?
If I don't get a break after this, I am tempted to call it quits, Steven thought as he worked, but deep down he knew it wasn't possible. As much as working at Krei-Tech was tiresome, it helped pay the bills. He wasn't a flying daredevil like the Mad Jacks who charged thousands of dollars.
Speaking of the Mad Jacks..
"Great works Jacks!" their leader Greg was drinking some kind of sport drinks from a mug for some reason.
"Rendezvous status?" Jaq asked as she lifted weights.
"Unknown, client's gone radio silent."
"Dude's creepy."
"Hm, roger that."
Steven rolled his eyes, so I guess whoever hired the Mad Jacks isn't the nicest guy, he thought.
"Aah!" He turned his head to see Krei almost falling out of the Mad Jacks airship, but Greg caught him, grabbed him and tossed him to the floor.
"Okay suit," Greg cracks his knuckles.
"It's actually more of a blazer," Krei gestures to his outfit.
Jack leans in to whisper to Krei, "look, our employer just wants the chip."
"And he's kind of a freak," Jaq adds in.
"Why did you kidnap me then?! I have three kids to feed y'know!" Steven exclaims, crossing his arms in anger.
"Needed a tune up on things," Greg shrugged, then turned back to Krei. "So, I'd hand over the chip if I were you."
Krei does with reluctance, "aha-ha-ha-ha-ha, I'd love to know who that employer is…"
"Not a chance," Greg and Krei have a tug-of-war over the chip but Greg manages to snatch it, "the Mad Jacks are discreet!"
Krei grumbles, raising an eyebrow as Jaq and Jack fist bump each other, "real discreet alright.."
"Can I go home now?" Steven raises a hand.
Later that night, Hiro is still under the covers resting but he couldn't sleep. Then his phone buzzes, he reaches a hand out of his blanket cocoon to answer it, "hello?" his voice was groggy.
"Haha hello, funny thing, I could really use Big Hero 6."
Hiro leaps up at the voice, "Mr. Krei?"
"Yes! I've got a problem," Krei sighs, "first of all, they ruined my blazer!" His blazer was suspended on the top pole of Krei-Tech Industries, "second of all they kidnapped my mechanic!" He glances down at Steven who's taking a nap next to the pole instead of getting him down!
"And then they took the chip I won!"
"The chip?" Hiro raised an eyebrow, "is that what you were hiding?"
Krei groans from the other line, "..maybe, the point is I need Big Hero 6's help to get it back! Do you know how expensive it was?!"
Hiro rolled his eyes, he'd have to call the others, less he relive the experience of Jack tossing in a dumpster and breaking his leg again.
"Big Hero 6! Fighting for the right! Searching through the night! Mad Jacks are the mercs! Bunchy of flying jerks!" Fred sang as he jumped through the city looking around for the Mad Jacks.
"Who have the chip and could be anywhere," Hiro grumbled in frustration at not being there. He was on the computer, wearing his superhero helmet and on the call with his friends.
"I'll incorporate that into my song, but make it rhyme!" Fred notes, leaping from rooftop to rooftop.
Gogo was skating through the streets, "we just have to cover as much ground as we can, as fast as we can!"
"They should be easy to spot!" Honey Lemon exclaims.
"Yeah, flying jetpack people should stand out," Wasabi nods, holding the GPS tracker.
The taxi driver adjusts the mirror window, "masquerade ball?"
"Sure, let's go with that," Wasabi replies, neither he nor Honey Lemon had any mode of transportation they could use, so they had to resort to a cab.
"Picking up anything, Baymax?" Hiro questions, looking at the dots of his friends travelling through the city.
"No, I have not detected the jet turbines," was the response.
"How could you guys possibly search the entire city-" Hiro coughs, "I should be out there helping you."
"That would be counterproductive to your recovery," Baymax tells him.
"I know, I know, in bed, leg elevated," he was using another computer chair to elevate his leg.
"Get some rest Hiro," Gogo told him as he ended the call. It wasn't fair, he should help as well! But, it would only hurt everyone else if he tried to go in his condition, "hmm, I'll get rest..right after I do this thing." He smirks as he gets an idea on what to do.
As Hiro worked in the garage, he used a wooden oar to navigate so he could keep his broken leg elevated as he worked on something to help out without being there in person.
Meanwhile..The Mad Jacks were flying in silence, their jetpacks turned off as they parachuted on top of a warehouse.
"I'm coming up empty," Fred grumbled in another location, "dang it I just know the Mad Jacks are making their move somewhere!"
The Mad Jacks crawl on top of the warehouse, using hand gestures to communicate and not alert anyone with noise. Greg gestures for Jack and Jaq to stay put as he creeps toward and cuts a hole in the skylight with his laser. But he fails to grab the top and it crashes on the warehouse floor, Greg looks at his teammates who raise an eyebrow at him.
Greg lowers himself towards the floor using his grappling hook, the warehouse was dark. Not a soul in sight, he landed on the ground and tiptoes from corner to corner.
"Good evening," Krei yelped as his employer was one level higher than him. Obake was accompanied by Mikan, who flashed a grin at Greg.
Obake walks forward, "do you come bearing Alistair Krei's black market chip?"
"You hired the Mad Jacks!" Greg gestures to himself, "The Mad Jacks guarantee success! Success and havoc! Ha-ha-ha!" he pulls out the chip from his arm, "and it's always awesome!"
"Wonderful," Mikan rolled her eyes. Obake and her lowered themselves to the ground using a chain lift.
Obake collects the chip, then clicks his watch which shows several colored lights blinking and moving. "Ooh..Big Hero 6, on the move."
"Alright focus up, this is how I see it," Greg begins to lay out a plan, "we keep the enemy occupied while you escape with the package, mission accomplished."
Obake turns off his watch, "super, although.."
"Ey' my plan is diamond! Flawless!" Greg argues, Mikan suppresses a growl under her throat.
"The security of the package is..paramount," Obake explains.
Greg furrows his brow, "all right, all right, I-I-I hear you, lemme just uh-, okay minor adjustment." He fumbles on his words as he rethinks his plan, "I will keep the package secure until the enemy is neutralized, boo-yah!"
Obake smirks and hands him back the chip, "wonderful idea."
"Good catch," Greg is about to leave but he's stopped by Mikan, "er..yes?"
Her green eyes glowed with fury in the dark, "by the way...next time you're in San Fransokyo..if you touch one more hair on Steven Ferns head.." She bares her set of sharp fangs at him, snarling, "I will tear your Mad Jacks limb from limb, starting with you...clear?"
"...Clear.." Greg squeaks, he runs to the skylight and activates his jetpack, "Mad Jacks! Let's fly!"
Obake flashes an evil grin as he leaves, the left side of his face glowing in it's purple glory.
Mikan pouted, "you always have to steal my evil smirk with your stinkin glowface don't 'cha pops?"
"Mikan I swear… stop calling me pops."
The Mad Jacks exit the warehouse roof and fly through the skies, "listen up Jacks!" Greg tells his teammates, "keep your eyes peeled for hostilities!"
"How many Jack?" Jaq questions.
"Well with a handle like Big Hero 6, I'm thinking we're looking somewhere between five and seven."
Jaq nods, "roger that, perimeter sweep in progress. I will-"
"Give Fredzilla a piggyback ride? I'm in!" Fred hops on top of her back, weighing her down. Jack flies over and tries to shoot a laser at Fred, but he's stopped by Gogo throwing a disk at him. He hits the wall and lands in a pile of cardboard boxes.
Gogo pops her bubblegum and smirks, Jack flies out of the rubble and chases after Gogo, she skates to avoid the laser blasts and leaps over any obstacles. She throws her disk behind her which ricketshey and hits Jack, "oww!" He lands on top of a box.
"Not cool!" Jaq yells at Fred who's still on top of her, she starts to spin in a circle as she flies.
"Hey-hey don't make me hurl in here!" Fred becomes nauseous from all the spinning, "aaah-wahh-woah!" He crashes on top of the hood of a taxi car that pulled up to the scene.
Honey Lemon and Wasabi exit the cab, "don't worry Freddie, we're here to help." The former grabs Fred off of the taxi hood.
"Must be some kind of party huh?" The taxi driver raised an eyebrow.
"It usually is," Wasabi hands him a twenty dollar bill, "keep the change."
Baymax lands on the ground as Gogo skids past, dodging a laser. "It would be preferable to resolve this conflict without violence."
An explosion fires behind Baymax, Greg emerges from the smoke, "no way! The violence rocks! It's a major part of the Mad Jack program!" He fires his laser which knocks Baymax into a wall.
"Oh have a taste!" Greg flies over to inspect the damage, "and the bot is down for the count!"
"Not a chance!"
Greg looks up in shock to see a silhouette, "that bot's been taking care of me.." the figure flies down to reveal a familiar purple superhero, "time for me to return the favor."
"Hiro?" Honey Lemon's eyes widen.
Wasabi blocks a laser fire with his plasma blades, "Have you lost it?!" he exclaims at Hiro.
"That is not Hiro," Baymax explains, in reality it was a remote controlled bot that looked like Hiro in his superhero armor.
"Uh I am being the perfect patient," Hiro explained as he used the controller, "leg elevated, plenty of liquids," he took a sip of his tea, "and of course, rest."
Greg blasts lasers at the bot, Hiro casually drinks his tea as he dodges the lasers.
He grabs Greg's laser out of his hand, crushes it and tosses it to the side. Greg then shoots tasers which stuns the bot.
"Taser, huh, good call," Hiro notes.
Baymax flies up and grabs the taser wires, it has no effect on him, and he chucks it away, "Ooh!" Greg whines as his taser is pulled out his hands
"Thanks Baymax!"
"You are welcome."
Greg attempts to escape by skyrocketing high with his jetpack, "time to try out the boosters on this thing," Hiro hums, flying after him.
"Oh yeah!" Greg exclaims as he thinks he escaped, "eat my dust!" He chuckles, but bumps into Hiro, "woah!" He tries going the other way but is blocked by Baymax, "the bot!" Both Hiro and Baymax grab him as he tries to fly away, but it results in him breaking his jetpack and he starts plummeting towards the ground.
"Oh Jack down!" His fall is stopped by Baymax scooping him up.
"Perhaps you should consider less dangerous activities," the robot tells him.
"Maybe you should...think about..whatever," he is unable to come up with a comeback.
"Krei's chip please," Hiro requests, the leader of the Mad Jacks grumbles and hands him the chip, "thanks, Greg."
"Wow, that's cold," Greg narrows his eyebrows, "Jack extraction! ASAP!" He slips out of Baymax's grasp and Jack and Jaq pick him up.
Three times the Jack
To watch your back
Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Jacks!
They fly high towards the moon, disappearing into the darkness.
"And I hope we never see them again," Fred stares at the night sky, they were a pain to battle.
Baymax and Hiro land on the ground, "can you guys give this back to Krei?" the latter hands the chip to Gogo.
"No problem," Gogo smirks, "and get some rest robo-genius."
"Feeling better already," he replies, but his attention is brought by a loud yelp.
"Hiro! What the heck!" His eyes widen with horror, he looks up to see Ari had come up the stairs! He was so busted, she caught him red-handed, now Ari knows that he's part of Big Hero 6-
"You trying to break another leg?!" Ari grabs his helmet and controller, and shoves it into a box, "Cass told you to not play any leg-breaking video games!"
Hiro continued to gawk, she..didn't make the connection? "Um...sorry," was all he said.
"It's fine, I won't tell her," Ari smiles, "get some rest Hiro!" and quick as a whip she heads down the stairs.
"Phew," Hiro gave a sigh of relief. That was close, note to self if I use the bot again...do it in the garage…

Mikan Ferns: "Yeah I'm concerned, Sara no" -David
"And by now, the chip should be back in Alistair's hands," elsewhere Obake smirked as his plan worked. Now all he had to do was wait.
"The moment of truth," Krei is in his office, he holds the chip in his hands.
"The moment when you turn it over to the security team," Judy answers, "like Steven reccomended, instead of doing something stupid."
"Is something wrong Alistair?" Obake walks around his lair, "the reckless tycoon showing caution? Restraint?"
"I need the tech security team."
"But Alistair, remember the abduction, who can you trust? Who's on your side? Who knows?"
Krei frowns, "actually..never mind," he clicks a button on his desk, cancelling his order of calling the security team. "Look, the person who was after this, whoever hired the Mad Jacks.."
"What about them?" Judy questioned.
"What if they've infiltrated my security team!?"
"Like what a spy? You're usually not this paranoid,"
Krei swivels in his chair, "hey I was abducted, it does things to you!" He places the chip in his computer, revealing the drive, "I'm not taking any chances."
"There we are, Alistair. That's the stuff," Obake grins, as the chip now shows him Krei and Judy in the office looking at the chip.
"We will be the only ones who see what's on this," Krei opens the drive file, but there were no files found.
"Nothing?" Judy narrows her eyes.
Krei was distraught, "no, the money, th-the abduction. Everything that happened! It was all for nothing?!"
"It probably is better that we were the only ones who saw this," Judy notes.
Little did they know that they just gave Obake access to all Krei-Tech had to offer, "so many files, so many secrets!"
"Ah," he comes across a certain tidbit of information that showed a certain teen genius, and a purple armored superhero, were one and the same.
"Hiro Hamada.."
AN: I promise I'll give Steven a breaaak!
Also Obake knows Hiro's identity. RED ALARM RED ALARM!
Speaking of Obake (and Mikan but in this chapter she's a blood-related henchmen...woman...girl..), if you guys thought he was gonna mention Ari this chapter (for those who think Obake has an interest in Ari).. NOPE. I said on Chapter's 3 and 19 that Obake had an interest in Ari because there was apparently something special in her but he doesn't anymore. If you guys already know this, great! But occasionally people forget this fact so I thought I'd point this out as a helpful reminder. Sorry if this is annoying y'all, these AN's are meant to be hilarious and informative.
And yet again Ari does not catch onto the fact Hiro is living a superhero double life. You guys probably think she would've figured it out at that point but it's one of those moments where you're so focused on something you don't pay attention to your surroundings.
Like when you're so focused walking down the school hallway you then accidentally walk into the wrong class ;-; haha
Tune in next week for a "cat"tastic episode!...
get it? because cats..?
