"Big Hero Six arises from the shadows once again on a mission to figure out who this new person is on the streets protecting San Fransokyo's citizens," A man dressed in a lizard suit dramatically announced on the edge of a building with five other individuals dressed in suits behind him.
"Fred, a fall from this height could invoke severe bodily harm, I suggest you back away from the railing," Baymax stepped forward to Fred offering his hand.
Fred gladly accepted Baymax's hand and jumped off the railing towards the group of friends. They all had on their respective suits. Honey Lemon wore her pink and orange suit with her chem purse hanging off her left shoulder, GoGo in her bright yellow and black sleek suit, Wasabi in his ocean green breastplate and plasma sword hand gauntlets, and Baymax stood with his dark blue carbon fiber covering with Tadashi standing close by with a remote control and several drones packed with dangerous weapons. They all turned towards Tadashi who was typing in codes frantically in his computer which controlled his drones.
"Guys this is legendary," Fred continued jumping up and down in his spot, "Our first night patrol!"
GoGo punched him in the arm, "No this is not night patrol; this is us finding whoever stole our gear."
Fred stopped jumping and rubbed his arm where GoGo punched him. Her punches hurt even when she wasn't meaning to intentionally hurt someone. GoGo was by far the most intimidating person he had ever met, and that included seeing a crazy professor fueled by rage trying to kill the richest man in San Fransokyo.
"Tadashi what are you doing?" Honey Lemon adjusted her helmet, the thing always slipped out of place; she was thankful for the gear Tadashi made, but it was not exactly consumer friendly for anyone.
Tadashi didn't glace up at Honey and simply replied. "Just doing a quick look over some areas to see if I can find him before we exhaust ourselves trying to find the guy."
A second later the drones were back surrounding the group. There was no sign of the man in indigo anywhere that the drones could see. Sighing, Tadashi walked toward Baymax and allowed himself to be picked up by the large robot. It was a funny sight, seeing the older boy in his navy blue armor being held by a blue robot, yet no one laughed. They had all seen the sight and had made fun of the older teen already.
"Ok I say we split up, Baymax and I will go around the east side, Fred and Honey the west, and GoGo and Wasabi got the north side," Tadashi glanced at his friends and received nods in agreement, "Send a text if you see him and we'll all meet up."
The four teens all nodded in agreement and went their respective ways. Tonight they would find who this new masked vigilante was and find out how he had their inventions.
The boy in indigo staggered against a wall in an alleyway panting for breath trying to blink away the black spots dancing in his vision. He had been pushing himself to limits he had never endured before. Sure he was in a better place that actually was not destroyed and most of the world's population was gone, but he had not eaten since he had arrived in this new place. The boy's last meal had been a couple pieces of deer jerky and half of a potato. Despite being used to eating such little food, the boy needed at least some nutrition from exerting himself so much.
He laid against the wall and considered the options he currently had. He had no money so that meant he would have to steal food from a market nearby, starve to death, or hope and pray that he found a soup kitchen that would help him out. The boy already ruled out stealing food, he would not do that to others. Back where he lived there was a time where everyone was stealing food which just caused more problems. There was no way he would stoop that low.
A hat laid next to a dumpster along with a couple of plastic bags. The boy slowly bent down to grab the items and put his mask in the bag along with the pouch hanging on his waist. He put the tattered hat on and decided that the disguise would be enough. With that the boy pushed himself off the wall and wandered through the streets. His stomach groaned and ached as he passed by several restaurants. The smells were torturing the boy's stomach making him even hungrier.
After walking several blocks the boy came across a group of people sitting on the steps of a little shop holding water bottles and small sandwiches. He walked up to the group and kept his head down. He hoped that he would be able to get food from the little shop, but he did not let himself get too hopeful.
He weaved around the group of people and opened the door; he was immediately met with wonderful smells of cooked turkey and fruit. He walked up to a woman sitting on a chair reading a magazine and let out a little cough. She looked up to the boy and smiled warmly and set the magazine down on a table.
"How are you doing sweetie," She held her hand out to the boy, "My name's Sue."
The boy smiled at the girl and shook her hand, "Um to be honest, I've been a lot better."
He grimaced as soon as he said anything. His voice was raspy and quiet. His throat was so dry and hurt due to the lack of water. The woman smiled and motioned for him to follow her toward a small table on the far side of the wall.
"You can grab yourself a couple waters on the side and you have your choice to either a turkey and Swiss or ham and Swiss sandwich," She held up the two sandwiches to show the boy, "Also before you leave please fill out the clipboard on the wall."
She gave the boy another smile and went back to her seat and grabbed the magazine she was previously reading. He grabbed a few waters and shoved them in the bag and grabbed a ham and Swiss sandwich. After taking the items he walked to the clipboard and looked at the paper. It wanted a name, age, and number to call, but the boy ignored it.
He turned back to the girl and waved, "Thank you."
She smiled back then looked down to her magazine once again. He walked out of the door and sat on the steps. The people there earlier had left leaving the small steps for the boy to sit on. He sunk down on the steps and greedily opened a water bottle and drowned its contents. After finishing the first bottle he reached for another. Before he had the chance to drown the contents a loud crash came from behind a trash can located close to the boy. The boy threw the water bottle back in his plastic bag and attached the mask on his face.
"Hey! I think I found him!" A man in a lizard costume jumped out from behind the trash can and pointed at the boy, "Honey call the others!"
The boy stood in shock. How had these people found him so easily? He did not stick out that much due to his dark clothing. It did not matter now since he was already spotted; he quickly attached his pouch to his waist and drew out his plasma blade. The lizard man and a girl dressed in pink began to run toward the boy. The girl quickly typed in a combo and an orange orb popped out of her purse then she threw it at the boy. He reacted quickly and rolled out of the way before the orange ball could strike.
The girl rummaged through her pockets for her phone to contact the other members. As she tried to get a hold of the other team mates the man in the lizard costume jumped toward the boy in an attempt to grab him. The boy ducked under the man and took him by the tail. He wrapped both hands around the tail then threw him into a nearby wall. With both of his attackers distracted he ran into a nearby alleyway.
"Don't worry I'll go after him!" The lizard man staggered up and ran after the boy.
The girl in pink gave him an encouraging thumbs up, "You got it Freddie!"
"Hello?" Tadashi answer hopefully.
"I sent you the address where we found him," Honey Lemon walked over to the steps, "He got away but we are in the area chasing him."
"Ok, we'll be there in a minute," He hung up the phone abruptly.
Honey Lemon looked down at the steps and frowned. She began to feel the pit in her stomach grow as she saw a bottle of water and unopened sandwich lying on the ground. There was a tattered Krei Tech hat sitting near the food as well. Honey Lemon turned the other way and set off to find her friends. The girl's curiosity of unmasking the man only continued to grow as time grew.
"Slow down dude!" Fred was struggling to keep up with the boy.
The boy was incredible fast; not to mention agile as well. He slipped into tight spaces and expertly flipped out of the way of random objects in the streets. If the lizard had not been able to jump and high as he could, then he would have lost the boy by now. It was all he could do to keep up with the boy fitting into spaces he could not and throwing random objects behind him that got dangerously close to hitting him.
The pair was reaching the end of an alleyway and the boy was trapped. He ran to the wall and turned around watching Fred struggling running the last few meters to get close to him. Fred put a hand on the wall to stabilize him as he wheezed for a breath.
"Woah," Fred gasped for air, "You are stupid fast."
The boy let out a small chuckle. If only the boy had had a proper meal then he could have amazed the lizard with his natural abilities more. The training he had endured and battles prepared him for running away with people following him closely; especially if he was outnumbered. The boy was anticipating others to show up and try to capture him.
Moments later a girl in a yellow suit followed by a man in green ran beside Fred. The girl in yellow held two disks that resembles the boys emerald green ones; however, her disks were slightly smaller and thicker in their design. The man in green had his own plasma blades that were smaller in size and on the man's hands. The girl in pink made her appearances by dropping a pink orb and bouncing off of it to the ground. Lastly, a robot clad in blue walked onto the scene looming over the rest of the group, behind the robot stood another teen in blue armor wielding a remote control that had three drones connected to it surrounding him.
"We don't want to hurt you," Tadashi spoke from the back of the group, "We just have a few questions."
"I'm going first," GoGo took a step forward to the boy who didn't flinch, "Who are you and why did you think you could take our inventions?"
The boy remained silent. The black mask covering his face gave away no indication of emotion. The fiery teen mumbled a curse under her mouth and launched a disk at the boy. Several shouts of concern emitted from the rest of the group. GoGo watched in fear as the disk continued its path toward the boy and he didn't move. Time seemed to slow, yet none of the heroes were able to move to warn the boy.
At the last second, the boy raised his blade and successfully sliced the disk in half. The others stared at the boy in amazement. They wondered how he was able to move so fast.
GoGo readied herself to launch another disk at the boy, but Honey held her arm back. Fred charged the boy instead this time and Wasabi followed soon after.
Fred tried his hardest to get a punch or kick on the boy but he was too fast. The boy seemed to know exactly what Fred was going to do and was able to dodge every time and make him lose his balance. Wasabi was able to get close to the boy and launch his own attacks on the boy, but he was mostly on the defensive side. The boy wielded his one blade with such an efficiency that no one in the group had ever seen. Wasabi thought he had an opening and strongly charged the boy, but he simply leapt out of the way. Wasabi was going to fast to stop immediately and looked forward to seeing Fred charging him as well. It was too late for either to stop so they ran into each other.
Not waiting a second later, GoGo and Honey Lemon began their attack. Upon seeing the two near him, the boy activated his own disks and easily evaded all of their attacks. Honey Lemon was unable to see who was who. All she saw were green and yellow blurs racing around her in circles.
The boy continuously ran in circles with the girl in yellow following closely behind. He turned suddenly and raced back toward the girl. The movement was so unexpected that she did not have time herself to stop or turn. He easily tripped the girl and she was sent spiraling to the side and ran into a trashcan. She cursed at the boy and began to get up, but the boy was faster yet again. He threw an orange orb at her and she was immediately engulfed in a sticky substance holding her in place.
Honey was rapidly typing in different chemical formulas and tossing them at the boy, yet he evaded each one. The boy darted behind Honey Lemon and grabbed her purse. She let out a cry and reached out for her weapon but he ran back to the front of her. With quick fingers two orange orbs popped out of her purse. He tossed the purse nearby on a stack of trash bags and threw one orb at her and the other at the two boys still laying in a heap on the ground.
Tadashi was wowed by the boy in front of him. The indigo boy was able to evade all of their attacks and he was outnumbered six to one! All of his friends were stuck in orange goo due to the boy. Despite their predicament, Tadashi was happy. He was happy that this boy had not tried to hurt any of his friends, but rather just apprehend them from hurting him. Tadashi did not want to see what he could do if he was actually trying to hurt someone. The boy in indigo was already dangerous enough when he was just evading attacks. Clearly, he was very experienced. This only made the drone controller more intrigued about the boy. He wanted to know who this was so badly!
Baymax walked forward to the boy and bowed, "Hello, my name is Baymax, please tell us who you are or else we will have to apprehend you."
A laugh escaped from the boy, "Looks like I apprehended you guys instead buddy."
The boy did not wait for the robot to respond and enveloped the robot in an orange goo. The robot staggered and slowly fell over to its side.
Tadashi suddenly felt very small facing the boy with only his drones around him. He believed he had the worst gadget out of his group and he was the last one standing against this beast. The boy began to sprint straight at Tadashi and he panicked making him press a random button on his controller. Lasers began to fire on the boy as it locked on him; however, the boy dodged them with ease. He had to stop his run to evade the shots, so Tadashi took it as a small win. He pressed several buttons that made the drones launched several different attacks on the buy, yet he was somehow able to avoid every single attack. Lasers, fire, electrical shocks, and magnetic waves were all attacks the drones used on the boy, yet none of them affected the boy.
The boy jumped onto a dumpster then performed a flip off the wall. In the air he used his plasma ray to eliminate two of the four robots Tadashi had. As soon as the boy landed he grabbed the disks on his ankles and threw them at the remaining two drones. He hit those dead on. The disks returned to the boy and he was off. He pushed Tadashi onto the ground and spirited away.
Tadashi was quick to get up and he followed the boy. He tried to keep up with the indigo teen, but he was too fast. When he activated his emerald green disks again there was nothing Tadashi could do to stop him. He managed to use the disks to escape by running up a wall of a building. There was not a ladder present or anything else the raven haired boy could climb, so he huffed in anger and started his walk back toward the rest of heroes.
"Why is this stuff so sticky?" Wasabi was sitting on Fred's couch desperately trying to pull the orange goo out of his hair, "I can't get it out of my hair!"
GoGo came behind Wasabi with a pair of scissors and cut the piece of hair he was holding. He shrieked. He turned to GoGo with a clump of his hair in hand but he was at a loss for words. Wasabi could not believe that she seriously cut his hair.
"Oh woman up," She plopped down on a chair adjacent to where Wasabi was seating, "It will grow back."
Honey Lemon put a hand on Wasabi's shoulder before sitting down beside him, "I think your hair still looks great! You can barely tell."
The reassurance from Honey did not ease Wasabi's growing concern for the wad of hair in his hand.
"Guys night patrol went great!" Fred still wore his lizard costume even though orange goo decorated it, "We got some valuable information about Arakan."
"First of all: we got our butts kicked by a little kid," GoGo glared at Fred, "Second: we did not go on night patrol!"
Fred waved GoGo off and excused her behavior due to being destroyed by another superhero. Fred was already trying to come up with a cool names for some of Arakan's moves. Despite being shown up by the new hero, Fred was in an incredible mood. He thought that the indigo boy was incredible. That was the best butt-kicking that he had ever received. It was just like in one of his Captain Fancy comics where Captain Fancy got beat up by some newbie. Now that he had experienced that in real life he could 100% say that it was cooler in person than in the comic.
"Who is Arakan, Fred?" Wasabi sat the clump of hair down on the table in front of him.
"Why that is our new masked superhero in San Fransokyo my friend," Fred leaned toward Wasabi for a dramatic effect, "Arakan meaning hero, since he saved those people from the robbers."
"You mean the kid that stole our inventions," GoGo reminded, "You may not care, but we do, those were our ideas not his; he is not a 'hero' in my book."
Tadashi rubbed his face. He was tired of all the arguing about it this guy was good or not. He needed time to think, "Guys, please stop arguing for one second."
The room fell silent. Fred went and sat down besides Honey Lemon and Wasabi on the couch. GoGo leaned forward with her elbows resting on her knees. Tadashi remained standing in his spot by the enormous comic book collection. No one said a word. Suddenly from the opposite wall Baymax spoke up.
"The patient is approximately five feet nine inches tall, his blood type is AB positive, and based on my limited data I would assume he is about 16 to 17 years old."
"Baymax you scanned him!" Tadashi felt like he could cry!
"Of course I did, you programmed me to scan every patient."
The group of teens laughed. Several of the member's muttered, good robot, under their breaths. Thank goodness for the robot, it had saved the teens many times and picked up valuable information.
Tadashi ran over to Baymax and hugged his robot, "We- I can use this! I'll update his scanner again and then we'll be able to find him!"
The teens all agreed and cheered. Tomorrow night they would find out who this masked vigilante was.
The boy in indigo sighed as he stretched out on the cold stone ceiling of a random building. A crumpled half empty water bottle was the only thing he managed to keep during the surprise attack. His stomach growled painfully again. It would be another night of hunger pains while he tried to get some sleep on the cold building.
The sky was not clear tonight, gray clouds covered the stars and partially covered the moon. The sight slightly reminded the boy of where he was from. He was used to smog covered skies that didn't allow a lot of light to shine through.
Another loud rumble came from his stomach. The boy glared down at his stomach. He wished he had somehow kept that sandwich. Tomorrow he desperately needed to find food. He hoped to find money scattered on the street that he could use to buy something to eat. If this continued and he went without food then he would be dead soon. There would be no way he would have the energy to protect himself or even stay alive.
There was also the problem that he needed to take care of before it was too late as well. He needed to make sure he had enough strength before he attempted his plan though. As the boys eyelids began drooping in exhaustion he made a promise to himself. Once he found food, he was going to find Alistair Krei and stop him from doing anything he would regret; no matter what it cost.
I finally figured out the line breaks! I thought I put them in already, but I guess it did not work lol. Sorry for that, I updated the other chapters so they have line breaks in between scenes.
