6 Incredible Heroes

Sickness

In a dim room Hiro slowly begins to open his eyes as he regains consciousness, groaning as he lifts his head up. He was still in his super suit and as he came to he began to look around and observe his surroundings. Suddenly he came to realize he was unable to move his arms and legs. He looked around to find himself trapped in a containment unit identical to the one Mr. Incredible was kept in when Syndrome captured him. He was soon fully awake and began to worry as he struggled, trying to get free, but his hands and feet were restrained by mineballs, which were held in place by an energy field. He continued to struggle for another minute, grunting in exertion, but soon gave up and panted as he examined the room around him. He saw two control panels ahead of a short staircase, on opposite sides of a dimly lit path, but neither of them was being operated. He was confused, but as he thought his memory returned and he came to realize what was happening. He tried to think of a way out of this situation, but he was unable to use the communicator in his helmet, so he was unable to call his friends, and he had no idea where he was, so he currently had no ideas.

He looked around suspiciously as he demanded, "Whoever you are, show yourself and tell me what you want."

Right on cue, the automatic door on the other side of the room opened and a person entered and said, "Rise and shine sleepyhead. I was wondering when you'd wake up."

The door shut behind him as he walked down the path, and as he came closer Hiro was able to get a better look at him. It was a teenage boy, roughly the same age as Hiro, who had short red hair that was neatly combed back, slightly bulkier arms, and freckles on his face. The boy wore a black long sleeve shirt and black long pants, he also wore white metal boots, white gauntlets, and a white utility belt that had a red light on the buckle. The young boy also wore a long bluish black cape, and on his face he wore a black mask identical to those of the Incredibles. On the front of his shirt was a large white "S" that stretched down from the top of his torso, and ended above the top of his belt.

As the boy walked toward the containment unit he pointed at Hiro and made series of hand gestures as he excitedly said, "Hiro Hamada, you truly are a genius, and that says a lot coming from me. I mean I've gotta say, I knew you were smart, but the way you handled my Omnibot, all by yourself?! Oh man! I feel like a geek just thinking about it!"
Hiro shot a death glare at the boy, who then showed a polite smile as he said, "But where are my manners? Welcome to my island."

Hiro was shocked as he perplexed, "Island?"

The masked boy nodded as he smiled jokingly and said, "Oh yeah. You're about 2,000 miles away from the coast on my own private island. I know it's a long way from home but I think you'll like it here. I hope you appreciate all the trouble I had to go through to bring you here. I mean it was a lot of work but hey, what are friends for?"

Hiro narrowed his eyes as he angrily spat, "Friends?! We are NOT friends!"

The boy feigned disappointment as he said, "Aww, and I thought we were close. After all, we have so much in common and spend so much time together."

Hiro ignored his comment and inquired, "Who are you?"

The teenager feigned being hurt as he sarcastically said, "You don't recognize me? That hurts! I know I look different but how could you forget about me. I mean c'mon…"

His hurt expression changed to a snide one as he smugly said, "… we've only known each other since college."

Hiro gasped in shock as he then recognized him and inquired, "John?"

He smiled mockingly as he pointed at Hiro and replied, "Ha! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ladies and gentlemen we have ourselves a winner! Congratulations Hiro, you figured it out!"

The mysterious villain was none other than John, the other young student at SFIT who Hiro was good friends with.

Hiro was baffled as he said, "I don't believe this!"

John smiled deviously as he said, "Oh come on Hiro, don't act so surprised. You're smarter than that. We're smarter than that. That's why we go to SFIT. That's why we have what it takes to be heroes."

Hiro was shocked and angry as he said, "Heroes?! If you want to be a hero then why send robots to destroy the city?!"

John showed a sinister smile as he put his fingertips together and began pacing the floor, occasionally glancing at Hiro and pointing at him while he explained, "I was just testing you. When I sent the first one I wanted to test you and your friends' skills against a real threat. I have to say I was impressed with how you handled it. I wasn't expecting the Incredibles to show up, but I did think it could be useful. I figured they could teach you some stuff, and so I decided to keep an eye on all of you. After that I wanted to see how you'd do on your own so I sent my Omnibot to fight you. And as always you aced that test!"

Hiro then smiled cockily as he replied, "Yeah, your Omnibot really wasn't all that tough, especially for an ex-bot fighter."

John smiled arrogantly as he put his hand up and said, "Well that was just a prototype. The new ones have some major modifications."

Hiro's cocky smile disappeared as he became suspicious and said, "New ones? What are you talking about?"

John smiled deviously and sinisterly as he proclaimed, "Oh you'll see. Soon the world will see who the real heroes are, and they'll forget all about the old supers like the Incredibles!"

Hiro looked at him like he was crazy and then asked, "What does all this crazy stuff have to do with me? What do you want?"

John smiled politely as he held out his hand and answered, "I want a partner."

Hiro's eyes widened in shock and bewilderment as he inquired, "Sorry?"

John took a few steps closer and made a series of hand gestures as he happily said, "Come on Hiro, we're a lot alike. We're both smart, we have potential, and we both have what it takes to be real heroes! We're geniuses; we have to do something with our big our big brains if we want to make it big!"

Hiro defiantly protested, "I just want to use my power to help people. That's what my brother wanted. That's what real heroes do!"

John then shrewdly said, "Who told you that, the Incredibles?"

Hiro shot him a death glare and John made more hand gestures while he maniacally said, "You think the Incredibles see you as a hero? To them you're just like everyone else! You'll never be like them because you don't have powers! We're not good enough for them! But we don't need powers to be super, and we don't need them. The world is changing, so we have to change too! The Incredibles are the past, we are the future! Together we can change the world and show everyone that we are the real heroes!"

Hiro refused as he declared, "I'll never join you!"

John showed a vexed expression but remained calm as he said, "Well, you'll have time to think about it. I'm sure you'll come around."

He turned around and began to make his way toward the door while Hiro defiantly exclaimed, "You'll never get away with this John!"

John stopped and turned as pointed his finger at Hiro while he said, "Oh, and another thing. From now on, call me 'Sickness'!"

Hiro glared at him as he chuckled and continued toward the door, which opened automatically and closed behind him. Sickness proceeded down the hallway and walked through several automatic doors before he entered a security room where over a dozen of his men were working.

One of them looked at Sickness and said, "Sir, we've picked up a bogey on its way here."

Sickness smiled maliciously as he said, "I knew they'd come."

He chuckled maliciously as he reached his hand down and pressed a button on the terminal, which ensured a big surprise for the heroes on their way.

Meanwhile on Fred's private jet

All the Incredibles and the five members of Big Hero 6 were now in their super suits as they continued on their way to rescue Hiro. When Helen changed into her suit she briefly put the jet on autopilot but now she was flying it manually again.

Wasabi glanced out his window nervously before turning ahead and said, "So uh… what exactly is the plan?"

Bob, who was sitting next to Helen in the cockpit, turned to him and replied, "The first thing we do is find Hiro, then we find out who's behind all this and what they're up to."

Wasabi showed a relaxed smile as he said, "That's good, I like that plan. So uh… how do we do all that?"

Bob raised his finger as he said, "One step at a time Wasabi."

Helen held onto the control yoke with a serious expression while she said, "Yeah, and the first thing we're gonna have to do is figure out how to get on that island. They'll probably detect our jet and have some defenses ready for us."

Wasabi became nervous again as he said, "I'm not sure this is really the best plan."

Honey Lemon turned to him and optimistically said, "Don't worry Wasabi. Everything will be alright."

Dash zipped up next to him and excitedly said, "Yeah! This is gonna be awesome!"

Fred had the top of his costume down as he happily exclaimed, "Yeah, our first superhero mission to a villain's secret lair! And we get to team up with the Incredibles! How cool is that?!"

Wasabi still felt nervous as he said, "I still think we could use a better plan and…"

He was cutoff as Jack-Jack suddenly teleported in front of Wasabi and floated upside down as he giggled happily, prompting Wasabi to scream in fear.

Wasabi became frantic and paranoid as he pointed at Jack-Jack and said, "Quick, someone grab baby super freak before he teleports outside and sets the wing on fire!"

Go Go rolled her eyes while Honey Lemon chuckled, then she stood up and grabbed Jack-Jack and held him in her lap.

She smiled adoringly as she said, "You are the most adorable superhero I have ever met!"

Jack-Jack giggled happily as she began tickling him and using baby talk, suddenly they were all startled as they heard a beeping sound. They all stared ahead and through the cockpit they could see two missiles flying straight toward them.

Baymax, wearing the armor, noticed the missiles as he simply said, "Oh no."

Helen quickly put on a serious expression as she flipped a switch, which caused a sign in the back to light up, reading "Fasten Your Seatbelts". Everyone immediately did just that as they buckled up, except Baymax who stood motionless in the center aisle. Helen quickly steered to the left to avoid them but the missiles changed direction and followed them, then several more missiles showed up and pursued the jet.

Helen then dived downward as she exclaimed, "Everyone hold on!"

They all held on tightly as the jet dove straight down toward the water with the missiles right behind them. They approached the water and Helen immediately pulled up, one of the missiles missed and blew up in the water but the rest kept following them. As they pulled up Baymax remained in his standing position but fell back down the aisle and hit the back wall. Everyone was very scared as they held onto their seats, Honey Lemon held on tightly to Jack-Jack, who was also very scared. Another missile came toward them from the side, they avoided it but it blew up close to them, prompting everyone to scream in fear.

Helen dived down again and performed a barrel roll to avoid a few more missiles, which exploded behind them. As they spiraled threw the air Wasabi screamed his head off as he clinched the seat in front of him in utter terror. The jet stopped spiraling and made a sharp right turn, narrowly avoiding another missile, but more were still following them. Helen made a few more sharp turns, avoiding the missiles, but they were still intact as they continued to pursue the jet. Helen was very tense as she did her best to avoid the missiles and keep everyone alive.

They avoided another missile as it blew up close to them and Wasabi screamed and exclaimed, "Why are these missiles after us!"

Go Go was very stressed as she loudly exclaimed, "The bad guys know we're coming so they're trying to kill us!"

Fred showed an excited expression which changed into a frightened one as he said, "A supervillain is trying to kill us with missiles, that is so cool! And really scary…"

Another missile came at them from below, but Helen made a sharp right turn and avoided it, but it simply changed direction and kept following them. All the missiles continued to pursue the jet as Helen made sharp turns in every direction to avoid them, but it was getting more and more difficult. At one point Helen looked at the radar and detected two missiles coming at them from both sides. Helen quickly engaged afterburners to boost the jet ahead, which caused the missiles to miss and each other, resulting in a large explosion, but the rest continued to follow them.

Helen held tightly onto the steering yoke as she exclaimed, "I can't keep this up much longer!"

The missiles were still following them and Wasabi was holding on for dear life as he exclaimed, "We're not gonna make it!"

Honey Lemon was still scared as she forced a smile and said, "We're gonna make it!"

Wasabi was terrified as he screamed, "We're not gonna make it!"

Honey Lemon persisted as she cried, "We ARE gonna make it!"

Go Go had enough as she stood up and yelled, "Both of you shut up!"

Bob stared at the radar and exclaimed, "We need some way to lose them!"

She sat back down and looked at Violet as she said, "Violet, make a force field around the jet!"

Violet was scared as she said, "Go Go I can't do that!"

Go Go was very stressed as she exclaimed, "What are you talking about?! You made a ton of force fields!"

Violet was very scared and insecure as she yelled, "Yeah but I've never made one that big before! I don't know if I can!"

Go Go then angrily yelled, "You have to try or we all die!"

Violet was now even more scared as she had no idea what to do, suddenly Helen made a sharp turn to avoid another missile but they all kept following.

Suddenly looked out his window and nervously pointed his finger as he said, "Uh… guys…"

They looked to see a missile coming toward them from the side, and another was coming from the other side.

The radar showed that all the missiles were closing in on them and Go Go loudly yelled, "Violet! Make a field!"

The missiles were getting closer by the second and Go Go furiously yelled, "JUST DO IT!"

Violet was terrified as she screamed, "I CAN'T!"

Bob and Helen both looked at the radar and saw that all the missiles were closing in on them and they realized if they didn't do something they would die.

Bob immediately got out of his seat as he exclaimed, "Okay that's it! Time to bail out!"

Wasabi was very scared as he asked, "Huh?!"

Bob hurried over to the door and used his super strength to rip it off, letting wind into the jet as it blew everyone's hair around.

Bob hurried over to Violet and Dash while he said, "We're gonna have to jump!"

Wasabi clinched his seat in terror as he screamed, "WHAT?! Are you crazy?!"

Bob held Violet and Dash in each of his arms and ordered, "Baymax, grab the others! Our flight's been cancelled!"

He jumps out of the jet, still holding Violet and Dash, and Helen immediately jumped out after them. Baymax quickly grabbed everyone else and flew out of the plane just as all the missiles hit it, blowing up the jet. Go Go and Honey Lemon were riding on Baymax's back, Honey Lemon was still holding Jack-Jack, Baymax was carrying Fred by his suit in his left hand, and Wasabi was holding onto Baymax's right forearm with his eyes shut as he screamed in utter terror. Bob was holding onto Violet and Dash as they kept falling, and Helen was above them as she fell, until she stretched her arms and legs out and wrapped them around Bob and the kids. She then stretched her body out, turning herself into a parachute, and the four of them gently floated down to the water, and Baymax followed them. After they entered the water Helen returned to her original shape and the four of them floated at the surface of the water, and Baymax and the others hovered above them.

Wasabi slowly opened his eyes to see where they were and he laughed in delight and Honey Lemon happily proclaimed, "I told you we'd make it!"

Bob glanced from his family to the others as he asked, "Is everyone okay?"

Baymax scanned everyone as he said, "My scan shows that no one has suffered any major injuries."

Go Go was still very stressed as she said, "Yeah but we were almost killed!"

Wasabi was still shaken up as he agreed, "Yeah! That was terrifying! Let's please never do that again!"

Helen calmly replied, "What's important is that we're all alright."

They were all startled as a huge piece of the jet fell down behind them and they all watched as it sank into water.

Helen looked at Fred and sheepishly said, "Sorry about your family's jet Fred."

Fred smiled forgivingly as he said, "Nah it's okay. We've got three more."

Go Go spoke very seriously as she said, "Yeah that's great, but now we're stuck out here in the middle of the ocean, Hiro is in danger on some island, and we don't even know how to get to him or back to the mainland."

Bob spoke with an equally serious expression as he said, "Calm down! I know this looks bad but we will get through this, and we WILL save Hiro."

Meanwhile in Sickness' lair

In the security room one of Sickness' men looked at him and reported, "Target destroyed."

Sickness was very pleased as he smiled and chuckled maniacally, then said, "Finally! I've waited a long time for this! I guess I'd better go tell our guest."

Sickness turned and left the room and then went back to the containment unit, where Hiro was still being held.

Sickness walked toward him as Hiro glared at him and said, "What do you want now?"

Sickness faked a casual expression as he said, "Oh nothing, I just thought you'd like to know that my guys detected a jet approaching."

Hiro smiled confidently as he said, "My friends! I knew they'd come for me!"

Sickness' casual expression turned into a twisted smile while he said, "Yeah, and I figure the Incredibles were with them, so that's why I sent some missiles to intercept them."

Hiro was immediately shocked and appalled as he exclaimed, "YOU WHAT?!"

Sickness smiled as he raised his hands and said, "Yep, confirmed hit. Target destroyed."

Hiro was devastated as he tilted his head down and softly said, "No…"

Sickness faked sincerity as he said, "Yeah, too bad. I mean the Incredibles had it coming, but it is a shame about your friends. They could've been useful. Especially Baymax, I liked him. So, for what it's worth, I am sorry."

Hiro glared at him in hatred as Sickness then smiled and said, "But you it's not too late for you. My offer still stands. You want to help a lot of people? Well so do I. Join me and together we'll make a world where people like them can reach their full potential, where everyone can be super and no one can tell them they're not!"

Hiro then furiously spat, "You just killed all my friends and you think I'll help you?! YOU'RE INSANE! I'll never join you!"

Sickness glared with an annoyed expression as he began to walk out and said, "You might want to reconsider that. You've got plenty of time. You won't be going anywhere anytime soon."

He disappeared behind the door and once he was gone Hiro's anger and hatred was replaced with sadness and grief. He began to mourn the loss of his friends as he hung his head in depression and began sobbing heavily.

Sickness walked in the hallway with an annoyed expression, but then he suddenly stopped as he second guessed his earlier statement.

He started walking again and then pointed at one of his guards as he said, "Tighten security around the island. More guards, more patrols, and more precautions. If anyone gets on this island I want to know about it."

The guard was confused as he perplexed, "But sir, the plane was destroyed. They're dead."

Sickness turned to him with a slightly angry expression as he said, "That's what we thought last time and look where that got us. I'm not taking any chances."

Meanwhile out at sea

Baymax is hovering above the water as he looks up and points at a trail of smoke and says, "We were on course to the island when the missiles were launched at us. They came from that direction."

Bob was determined as he said, "Then that's where we're going."

Wasabi was uncertain as he said, "Uh… you mean to the people who just blew up our jet and almost killed us?"

Go Go looked down at him and sarcastically asked, "Would you rather float out here and get eaten by sharks?"

Wasabi looked down at the water beneath them and tightened his grip on Baymax's arm as he said, "Oh… good point. So uh… does anyone have any ideas, because I don't think we can all fit on Baymax."

All the Incredibles were smug as they deviously smiled, then a few minutes later all of them were on their way to the island. Helen took the shape of an inflatable raft and Dash served as the motor as he kicked his legs through the water at super speed. Bob was sitting in Helen's back (because she's a boat) along with Fred and Wasabi; Bob, Helen, and Dash smiled with determined expressions while Fred was excited, and Wasabi was impressed. Ten feet above them, Go Go, Honey Lemon, Jack-Jack, and Violet were riding Baymax, who flew at the same speed that Dash and Helen were traveling at. Go Go and Honey Lemon were sitting in the same areas they were in earlier, Honey Lemon was holding Jack-Jack, and Violet was sitting in the area where Hiro would sit. Violet and Honey Lemon's hair was blowing in the wind and Jack-Jack giggled happily while the three girls stared at the horizon with determined expressions. Together the two teams followed the trail of smoke that would lead them to their enemy's secret lair, and to Hiro.

Author's note: I know this chapter is basically the same as plane scene from the first "Incredibles" movie, but there are a lot of differences too. So now we know who the mysterious villain is, I'm sure some of you already figured it out, but I'll bet some of you are still surprised. But there is more to Sickness than I have revealed; you'll see in time. In the next chapter I will reveal what his evil plan is, I'm sure not many of you have figured out what it is. I don't know when I'll post the next chapter; I have midterms coming up so I won't be able to do as much fanfiction for a while. Whenever I get it done I will let you know, until then enjoy. Please review.
