It was a lovely morning in the SFIT Robotics lab, a handful of students were working on their classwork and projects.
Sara yawned, "man, I should've gotten coffee at the Lucky Cat today," she rubbed her eyes.
"Yeah, you should've," her brother David told her, though he looked much worse for wear than her.
"You doing alright David?" She turned to him, "things have been rough for you since…" she trailed off, "the thing with your mom," she lowered her voice so none of the other students could hear.
David sighed, "oh come on, am I doing that bad?"
"Well you snapped at the teen geniuses of the school one time, there are bags under your eyes, and you don't check in with the group chat as much as you used to," she listed off the reasons, "you didn't even know her a year ago."
"I did know her," David argued.
"When you were five years old, and then you lived with Aunt Sally and Uncle Steven, and then I moved in, and then we semi-adopted Mika, and then you ran into her again when we followed Mika one night to the food fights." Sara rambled on, "I guess I'd be sad too if anything happened to our parents, or Mika..speaking of her I'm glad her dad stopped having her assist in whatever he was doing that took up all of her time."
"Didn't we have a conversation about that last week?" David crossed his arms, "why are you bringing that up again?"
Sara glanced left and right, "what if..it has to do with the robot attacks? We both know Mika's dad doesn't have a clean track record, considering he's a person that has Yama leashed like an obedient dog-"
David held up a hand. "Wait..Yama? Remember how Ari doesn't like Yama?" Sara nodded, "well, I overheard Honey Lemon and Fred the other day…" he lowered his voice so they wouldn't hear him mentioning them, "and they talked about how Yama had abducted Ari for some unknown reason."
"What?!" Sara exclaimed, the loudness of her voice alerted the other students, they were all giving her weird looks, "umm..Sorry, continue what you're doing!" They all turned their attention back to their work, she lowered her voice again. "What do you mean by Yama had abducted Ari?"
"I think Mika's dad ordered him to, I met him once, remember? He's the kind of guy who'd do anything if it benefitted him in any way, real creepy sounding too."
"That's crazy! No way Mika would follow her dad if he did that!"
"Hey it's just a theory."
"A crazy theory…"
"Good morning students," Granville, walking into the labs alerted their attention, she stared at Fred. The school mascot was sniffing the stickers on Baymax for some reason, "and others." He noticed her stare and unglued himself from the robot.
"The International Space Agency has contacted all the top science institutions about a competition," Granville told the students.
"Ooooh," Sara hummed, she wasn't interested in entering but it would be nice to see what her fellow students would come up with!
"Space junk is collecting at an exponential rate, the challenge is to design a machine to gather all the debris and dispose of it." Granville scanned the crowd, "are any of you interested?"
"I'll do it," both Wasabi and Hiro raise their hands, they stare at each other.
"Perfect, it's a tight deadline, you can work as a team." Granville tells them.
"Oh, um, I was thinking I'd enter..myself," Hiro explains.
"Yeah, and that I'd also enter, but just myself," Wasabi adds.
"Not that there's anything wrong with Wasabi!"
"Or with Hiro! That's not what we're saying."
"We just want-"
"You want to work individually, yes, I get it." Granville picks up on what they're saying, "but you're not going to, your skill sets compliment each other, and I want to win." There was no convincing Granville when she gets in a competitive mood, "so that's what happening. Working prototypes are due next Thursday, good luck!" The dean tells them as she exits the lab.
David snickers, "this'll blow up in their faces," Sara smacks him on the arm, "ow!"
Wasabi and Hiro glance at each other, well they're stuck together, so they'd have to be flexible about it. "We're friends, we can make this work," Hiro pointed out.
"Absolutely, it will be fun." Wasabi fidgets with his thumbs, Sara sighs and walks up to them.
"Good luck on the contest guys," she tells them, "I know you'll both do good."
"Thanks Sara," Hiro smiled, she smiled back at him.
"And I know that our school will win because we have a very smart student competing," Sara hums, "Wasabi is one of SFIT's best and brightest after all."
"Oh," he didn't expect her to say that, "thank you?"
"My bad if that made you uncomfortable," Sara noticed his reaction, "I meant for it to be a compliment."
"I understand, just didn't think you'd give me such a compliment."
"Well you are a very smart student! At this school."
Gogo clears her throat, interrupting the conversation, "if you're done with your compliments Sara, I need to speak to Hiro and Wasabi, if you don't mind."
"Oh I don't mind!" Sara nodded, "talk to you later!" She then went back to her and David's table.
"What's up Gogo?" Hiro turned to her.
"We've got a situation."
Ari was just riding the trolley home when it happened.
It spiraled out of control and began speeding downhill, the passengers screamed Ari just clung to the rails with her life.
Oh my god why does this always happen to me… She thought as the streetcar sped downhill, but then she saw something chasing the streetcar.
Big Hero 6! She'd recognize the superheroes anywhere, there was a twinge of hope in her as she saw help was on the way.
In the shadows as the superheroes chased after the trolley. a pair of red eyes watched. "Well howdy and hello, Big Hero 6," and began analyzing their moves.
"This is your stop! Watch your step!" Yellow sped onto the trolley and grabbed several passengers, bringing them to safety.
Blue picked up Ari and another passenger, "Do not worry! I am not an actual lizard. This is just a very convincing costume I'm here to help!" He leapt off of the runaway trolley.
The other passenger was so distressed he kept clinging onto the superhero, "Oh thank you thank you!" He sobbed as he continued to squeeze him.
"Dude.." Ari rolled her eyes.
"Uh guys, I've got a clinger!" Blue exclaimed.
"We're on it!" Purple, Pink, and Green were riding on top of Red. The red robot grabbed the rails of the trolley and tried stopping it, there was a screeching sound from the wheels.
Pink and Green climbed onto the trolley, "I've got you!" The latter grabbed two passengers and got them off the trolley.
"One for you, you, and you!" Pink handed the three remaining passengers chem balls to break their fall, "go, go, and go!" She told them to jump, they landed without injury due to the chem balls cushioning them.
As the trolley almost ran over people crossing the street, Red managed to stop it at last. "It is now safe to disembark."
The conductor held his hand to his head as he exited, "I don't know what happened! Emergency break just failed, it's the weirdest thing."
"Can you take a look?" Purple asked Red.
"Scanning," the red robot inspected the trolley, "the emergency break has been disabled. I detect a small amount of...ketchup on it."
"Ketchup?" Purple raised an eyebrow, "that's really weird."
"Yeah and who sent us the tip that this was going to happen?" Yellow pointed out.
Blue walked up to them, with the distressed passenger still clinging onto him and Ari following after, "and how much hugging is too much hugging?"
"Thank you for stopping the speedcar," Ari speaks up, "wait did he just say that there was ketchup on the breaks?" she turned to Red.
"Yes, he did." Purple nodded.
"That's weird...Is there a supervillain who uses condiments as a symbol of 'I did this evil thing everyone', and if so why ketchup?"
The superheroes shrugged, "haven't heard of anyone like that," Blue told her, "and I keep myself up to date in supervillain history."
There was an explosion, from up above. One of the wind turbines started to fall towards the ground.
"Uh..guys?" The conductor pointed up to the falling turbine that was going to hit the road. Pink and Green ran over to stop it, Pink threw a chem ball that the wind turbine bounced off of. But it started to fly towards someone else who was walking their dog!
"Oh, that's not good!" Green rushed over, he activated his plasma blades and cut the wind turbine in half before it could crush the poor person. "Phew! Are you okay?" He turned to the person who just stood there in shock and handed Green his dog, "eww thanks! That's gross, but thanks."
"Jeez that was so close!" Ari exclaimed, it was scary but fascinating, "thank you Big Hero 6! Again! I sound like a broken record but you guys do so much for so little and it's awesome!"
Purple chuckled, "well we, try to help," he then squinted his eyes, "Ari?"
"Cool! You recognize my name!" She beamed, "this is the best day of my life! I can't wait to tell Hiro!" Then there was a look of horror on her face, "he's going to freak out when he hears about this!"
She didn't notice Purple giving a sigh of relief, or a snicker at her distress, or that she wouldn't have as hard of a time explaining what happened to Hiro.
But in the shadows, the red eyes had finished gathering data on the superheroes, "order complete! Hee-hee-hee…" He slunk back into the shadows.
Ferns and Nerds group chat:
Sara Ferns: Hey Wasabi, how is the project going : ),
Wasabi: It's going good
Hiro Hamada: Hey I'm working on this project too : C
Sara Ferns: Oh sorry Hiro, but I know you guys have a clashing styles
TheLittleMermaid: That's a thing?
Wasabi: Yes
TheLittleMermaid: Fred and I are going to Noodle Burger, do you want anything guys?
Hiro Hamada: Yes please!
Wasabi: No thanks, I don't want to get grease all over my stuff
Hiro Hamada: Oh come on, Noodle Burger isn't that greasy!
Wasabi: -_-
Sara Ferns: Are you guys okay?
Wasabi: Oh we're fine!
Hiro Hamada: Yeah perfect! No arguments at all!
"No boy spreads joy like a Noodle Burger Boy!" Fred sang as he walked into the restaurant, Ari chuckled at his singing, but then she stopped.
"Um..Fred?" she poked his shoulder, getting his attention.
"What?" Fred glanced at her, she pointed towards the walls and he gasped with horror, there were "Missing: Noodle Burger Boy" posters, everywhere!
"Noodle Burger Boy's missing?!" Fred walked over to the manager Sara.
"I'm afraid so Mr. Frederickson," she told him, "when I opened this morning his dock was empty!"
"Empty?!"
"Someone stole NBB?" Ari mumbled. I wonder if it's the same jerk behind the latest robot attacks, might be the same guy who was responsible for the runaway speedcar too.
"Poor little guy's out there alone, he doesn't know what the world's like." The manager sniffled, "it's not all sunshine and noodle pies!"
"Do not give up on him, Sara!" Fred told her, "we will get through this!"
"You're right, he'd want me to be strong." But the manager burst into hysterics and started sobbing on Fred's shoulder, who just gave her awkward pats on the back.
Ari felt so bad for both of them at that moment, but mostly for Fred because Sara wouldn't let go of the hug.
"Oookay," Ari managed to Fred out of the hug, "we'll try to keep an eye out for NBB," she glanced at all the missing posters in the restaurant, "you should probably hang fliers."
Sara sniffled, "you're right," when the manager left to collect posters, Fred gave a sigh of relief.
"Thanks R," he sighed, "I got to ask the gang at school for help!"
"Want me to come with you?" Ari asked him.
"No, you should head back to the cafe, just in case there's a repeat of the trolley incident!"
"...Hiro told you didn't he?"
"He was really worried about you."
At SFIT, Fred ran to the robotics labs to tell them what happened, "noodle emergency! Noodle Burger Boy went missing and I need help to find him!"
"Sorry Fred, I have too much work to do on the mech suit to go looking for Noodle Boy," Hiro told him.
"Noodle Burger Boy!" Fred corrected, "how could you forget the burger part? That's where his face is."
"Sure is," Hiro then turned to Wasabi. "Hey Wasabi, why don't you go? I-I could handle things here."
"That is so..generous, Hiro, but I volunteer to stay and continue our work in an orderly fashion," he replies, his voice a little strained.
"Wasabi and Hiro are showing elevated stress levels," Baymax pointed out, "may I offer you a sticker?" He lifts up one of the Noodle Burger Boy stickers that were still stuck to his body.
Honey Lemon pops up from behind the robot, "you guys should work out whatever it is you're working out, we can go with Fred, right Gogo?" She turned to her friend.
"How else would I want to spend my free time?" Gogo replied in a sarcastic manner, but Fred didn't pick it up.
He gave her a hug, "thanks Gogo, man you're the best! You will not regret it!"
"The night was dark-"
"I regret it." Fred, Gogo, and Honey Lemon were on the roof of Noodle Burger investigating at night.
"..But what was even darker was the thought of a world without Noodle Burger Boy," Fred leapt on top of the restaurant's neon sign.
"No sign of Noodle Burger Boy," Honey Lemon inspected the area, "it may be time to call it a night, Fred."
"But we can't give up!" He complained, "this was his last known location! Fred leapt off of the neon sign, "there has to be a clue around here somewhere, anything! A footprint, a piece of clothing, a strand of hair. Which, know that you think about it, I guess that would be lettuce."
"Gee whiz mister...How about Noodle Burger Boy showing up in person?"
"Well yeah! That's more than a clue, but I like the positive thinking Noodle Burger Boy," Fred realized who spoke and turned around, "You're here!" He runs up to the robot.
"Howdy and Hello!" NBB waved, "golly! Look over there mister!"
"What? Where?" Fred titled to look behind him.
NBB's eyes glowed red, "crunchy style!" he kicked Fred off of the roof.
"No!" Honey Lemon and Gogo exclaimed.
"Hee-hee...hee-hee..hee-hee.."
Fred screamed as he hit the nearby building next to Noodle Burger, "Freddie!" Honey Lemon tossed a chem ball onto the ground, the goop softening his fall. She turned to the robot, "Noodle Burger Boy, how could you?"
"Gee whiz miss, it was awful easy, I just kicked him!" NBB chuckled.
"Yeah, we got that part," Gogo glared at him, "why?"
"Well, golly. Because I'm programmed to collect information and adapt, so I adapted to the evil style! With all the fixings! Hee-hee-hee!"
"Well adapt this!" Gogo threw one of her disks at him.
"Looks like your usual order miss!" NBB dodged with ease.
Honey Lemon threw a chem ball at him, "take that!"
He caught it before it exploded, "you can't beat Noodle Burger Boy."
"He can predict every move!" Honey Lemon realized.
"Predict this!" Gogo started skating towards him, he threw the chem ball at her but she jumped over it. As she lunged at NBB he simply stepped out of the away and she fell off the roof, "aaah!"
NBB waved at her, "thank you! Come again!"
Lucky for Gogo, her fall was caught by Fred, who leapt back onto the roof, he turned to the robot. "Would you stop throwing people off of the roof? Come on!"
"If you are not happy with your service, please fill out a comment card. I'd love to hear from ya!" NBB opened up his head and pulled out a comment card for some reason.
"Hear this!" Gogo threw another disk at him he dodged and leapt into the air.
"Feel the flavor!" condiments were blasted from his arms, Honey Lemon flinched when the red colored condiment hit her, thinking it would've hurt.
"Uhg!..Ketchup?"
"And mustard…"
NBB ran over to Fred and began hitting him in the stomach rapidly, "say hello to Noodle Burger and say goodbye to the hungries!"
Fred was not unfazed by NBB's weak punches, "Noodle Burger Boy, where is all this anger coming from?"
"Aaaah! Why won't you surrender?!" NBB stopped punching him. "Golly, I can predict your moves, but I cannot defeat you. Unless I upgrade to..Combo size!" He jumped off of the roof, landing in a go-kart, and he drove away from the scene.
"Aw man..I always wanted to make a daring go-kart escape," Fred grumbled.
"We have a problem," Gogo pointed out, "Noodle Burger Boy can predict our moves, and we don't know how to beat him."
Honey Lemon nodded, "mhhm, that's a problem, we have to tell the others about this."
"I can't believe Noodle Burger Boy kicked me off of the roof! This is the worst!"
"There there Freddie…"
AN: Well that happened.. Oof
