"Queen Sectonia?" Estelle asked.
"Oh, Estelle. Is something wrong?" Sectonia asked.
"Oh nothing. It's just after this journey is over, I would like to give you something." Estelle said as she pulled out the silver sword from before.
"But… That's your sword, isn't it?" Sectonia asked.
"I still have my rod as well. I just thought that this Fell Arm should be wielded by you once this journey ends." Estelle said.
"Thanks. I appreciate it." Sectonia said.
"It is no problem, your majesty. When you and David did that Mystic Arte, it reminded me of Flynn and Yuri." Estelle said. "It brings back memories to when all three of us journeyed with Hope and Jexi for a bit in this universe."
"You mean when you battled against Xehanort and the Organization the first few times around." Sectonia said.
"Yes...good times." Estelle said. "And now here I am on my last journey with them, then it will be time to return to Terca Lumeris. You all should come visit sometime."
"Perhaps we will." Sectonia said.
After Sectonia and Estelle finished their conversation, the group arrived to the next world. It appeared to be a fusion of San Francisco and Tokyo, and they entered by walking along what looked like a japanese remodel of the golden gate bridge.
"This world is...interesting to say the least." Zero said.
"Yeah, we've only been here a minute, and Sora's already geeking out." Hope said seeing Sora running all over the place.
"Well at least he's having fun." Ace said.
"I'll say. This place might make you feel homey too, David." Gemini said.
"In a way, yes." David said. "This place really feels close to home for some reason."
"Come on, Sora. Time's a wastin." Donald said.
"But I wanna check out the big city. Just seeing this place makes me feel so...metropolitan. No uh...cosmopolitan?" Sora wondered.
"Not-apolitan!" Donald snapped.
"Besides, a cosmopolitan's a drink." Sanji said.
"What about neapolitan?" Sora asked.
"That's an ice cream." Stoj said.
"What is with him and big cities?" Dan asked.
"Gotta be cause Sora was raised on an island. The cities always seem to have an interest to him." Jexi said.
"Hmm?" Estelle said seeing something fly past them as it looked to be a young woman in yellow armor. "Hold on!" She said running over to try healing her wounds.
Suddenly an explosion cut Estelle off as everyone saw flying robotic heartless in the distance, and in the next instance a person on a robot flew towards the fallen girl. "Gogo! Baymax...scanner." he said.
The robot then scanned the girl. "Her suit has protected her but she has suffered a mild concussion. I suggest that before moving her, we stabilize her head." the robot said.
"Oh, wow! A robot!" Sora said as everyone ran up to it and the boy.
"Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion." the robot said.
"Nice to meet you, Baymax." David said. "Anyway, we noticed you guys having trouble with those creatures up ahead. Do you mind if we lend a hand?"
"Sure, we could use a hand." the boy said. "Name's Hiro by the way."
"Let's do it!" Zero said drawing his saber.
"Wait! Who are you guys?" Hiro asked as everyone stopped.
"Just a group of heroes." Hope said.
"Please...help us. Our team is called Big Hero 6." Hiro said.
"We're all over it." Ochako said as they ran to the heartless.
"Go give them a hand, Baymax!" Hiro said to Baymax.
"Of course, Hiro." Baymax acknowledged flying over to help them.
"Holy power come to me. First Aid!" Estelle chanted as a green light flew into the young woman known as Gogo. The others then combated the Heartless with Baymax at their side.
"Ro, the way that robot is speaking… I think he's a medical unit." Theo said cutting a few down.
"So he's like Cinnamon in a way." Marino said shadow slashing through a few.
"Actually this one appears more advanced than that Cinnamon model. He's able to ascertain medical problems and even provide care to people dealing with physical and mental trauma. Whoever designed it was a genius." Ro said.
"That would be my brother. I'll explain later." Hiro said.
After a few more minutes of fighting, the heartless were defeated, and the group rendezvous with the rest of the team called Big Hero 6 inside of a garage where the newspaper reported on the heartless but left the heroes out of it.
"Not cool." Gogo said.
"People only care about spectacle, not the truth." another girl said.
"Yeah. Who cares about facts when you can just make stuff up." a guy in green said.
"I don't get it. I mean, didn't they see us? We had chem-balls, laser hands, and fire breathing!" said a guy in a monster suit.
"Well, it really didn't matter, they beat us." the girl in pink said.
"Where did they come from exactly?" Gogo asked.
"Well why don't we ask the guys...who actually stopped them?" the guy in green said motioning to the groups.
"Oh right….guys...this is...the gang. The girl in yellow is Gogo. The guy in green in Wasabi." Hiro began.
"How ya doin?" Wasabi said.
"And the girl in pink is Honey Lemon." Hiro said.
"Hello there." Honey Lemon said.
The guy in the monster suit looked at them closely. "And I'm Fred. And do not be alarmed." he said flipping the eye back to show his face. "This is not my real body!"
"What an interesting costume." Estelle said.
"Designed them ourselves based off of our expertise." Hiro said. "So uh… what do you guys call yourselves?"
"Well, were called the Hero Alliance. Our teams are the Dimensional Heroes, Spirit Force, Brave Adventurers, Shining Hope Squadron and Team Chronicle. As for Sora, Donald and Goofy though, they're called… um…" Hope struggled.
"Keyblade Hero 3!" Sora said posing with Donald and Goofy.
"Keyblade Hero...3?" Estelle asked as she tilted her head.
"Uh… Sora?" David asked.
"Yeah, what is it?" Sora asked.
"Don't you notice that you're the only one of the three that has a Keyblade?" David asked.
"But we are still heroes." Sora said.
"Not here we're not." Donald said.
"So you guys invent stuff too? I'm a Researcher myself." Mari said cleaning her glasses.
"Interesting. But more on the topic, tell us more about the monsters and how you managed to take them down." Gogo said.
"Right. Where to start…" David said. "Basically, those creatures are called Heartless, and they are born from the darkness inside of people's hearts. We've been facing them for quite a while now."
"Oh, now we're talking. Light vs darkness. Classic conflict!" Fred said.
"Would you calm down, Fred? This is serious." Wasabi said.
"With what we have right now, we have no way to fight them." Honey Lemon said.
"So we're just supposed to give up?" Gogo asked.
"With our current skill set. I show our percentage at...0.000…" Baymax said.
"Maybe we can help with that." Mari said.
"Like David said, we've battled them a lot. So maybe it's best if you left this to us?" Aqua asked.
"I appreciate what you're saying, but we wanna help out too." Hiro said. "This is our city and we want to help protect it. Not to mention its what my brother would do…"
"We understand if you don't want to talk about it if it's a touchy subject." X said.
"Great but...don't we need an actual plan?" Wasabi asked.
"We train up! When heroes are at their low, they get new powers. It's Shugyo time!" Fred said.
"Did you read that in Geeks Quarterly?" Gogo asked.
"Actually… I think Fred's on to something." Hiro said. "I may have an idea."
It took Hiro a bit before presenting Sora with a strange set of goggles.
"AR Device?" Sora asked.
"It projects digital holograms onto the environment when you put them on." Mari said. "You...wear it on your face."
Sora then went to put them on as he saw a Shadow. "Ah! Heartless!" he said.
"Sora? You okay?" Donald asked.
"There ain't no Heartless here." Goofy said.
"He must be seeing a hologram of it, right?" Mari asked Hiro.
"Sora, just take off the device." Hiro said as Sora took it off as he saw nothing. He put it on and off a few times to fully understand.
"Wow...I don't know how you're doing this but this is neat." Sora said.
"Science." Mari said.
"Now can we Shugyo?" Fred asked.
"Not yet. He's still learning." Wasabi said.
"Sora, we just need you to run through some courses Hiro has scripted. Like a minigame." Honey Lemon said.
"We put a tracer on your movements so we can-" Gogo said as Fred kept jumping around chanting Shugyo. "So we can Shugyo."
"So the courses are out in the town, huh? That sounds fun." Hope said. "It could be a good chance to re-train ourselves, test us."
"Great idea, we could use the practice." Goofy said.
"I'm sure we can help Gogo and the others get some new ideas for their gear… but what about Baymax?" Ochako asked.
"I can Shugyo...by downloading new combat data." Baymax said.
"Then let's try this out." Theo said.
Later out on the city streets at night, the group ran through Hiro's courses all over the city.
While this was happening, two figures were walking down the street. One was a young boy in samurai like clothing with a sword with a dragon design, and the other was a girl in clairvoyant clothing.
They were walking down the street when they saw Tetsu practicing on a few digital Heartless. The two only passed by him before the boy and Tetsu looked each other's way.
"Your swords are of many. Are you hoping to collect mine next?" the boy asked.
"That sword...that's the dragon slaying sword, isn't it? The Ryuzaki?" Tetsu asked.
"So what if it is?" asked the samurai. "It's mine...not yours."
"Hey...what's going on over...Oh, Shizaku! Claire! Nice to see you guys." Theo said arriving. "Whats going on here?"
"Just a friendly talk was all." Shizaku said.
"Yes...just a talk." Tetsu said.
"Good. For a second, I thought you two were about to duel." Theo said. "And before you say anything…Ow!" Theo said being hit by a wooden sword.
"Talk is cheap. For your actions...you must be disciplined with 1000 strikes!" Shizaku said chasing Theo as he ran.
"You're overreacting, Shizaku, c'mon!" Theo said passing by Gogo as he used flowmotion to run up a building wall to get away from Shizaku, but Gogo noticed.
"Interesting… gravity, not binding." Gogo thought aloud.
Shizaku chased Theo up the building as Theo passed by Wasabi. He saw Theo summon his Aquarius blasters and fire at his guildmate as Shizaku evaded.
"Hey, wait a second…" Wasabi noticed. "My laser hands… can be projectiles!"
Fred noticed Omnimon in the street as he is circled by Heartless.
"Transcendent Sword!" Omnimon said as he slashed, coating some of the Heartless in flames. "Supreme Cannon!" he said as he blasted another group of Heartless with ice.
"Whoa… a freeze attack!" Fred noticed. "Fire and ice. Diametrically opposed… or so we thought!"
Honey Lemon noticed Ace in front of another group of Heartless as his Keyblade glowed.
"Keyblade Form 5: Megaflare BFG!" He called firing a stardust laser through them.
"I see now… Change the weapon, change the attack!" Honey Lemon noticed.
"Hey Hiro, how are things looking from yours and Mari's end?" X asked through the comms.
"Really great. You guys are getting a lot of data from our observation points. That should probably be enough for now, let's meet back up at the Garage. I think you guys might've sparked some new ideas." Hiro said.
Back at the garage, Shizaku enjoyed some calming tea. "All is forgiven." he said to the badly beaten Theo.
"A little much don't you think?" Estelle asked as she healed Theo's wounds.
"Fool! A samurai is a warrior of honor. If you run from your responsibility from one party to another, that is a grounds for punishment...punishment a warrior must take respectfully." Shizaku said.
"Uh, sure…" Connie said looking to David. "This guy's a hardcore samurai way of the warrior type."
"I noticed. But yeesh… I'm glad I'm not this extreme about it." David said.
"I can see it." Claire said to David. "A meeting with someone you have been longing to meet with."
"Hm? Someone I'm longing to meet?" David asked.
"Claire's a clairvoyant from the recently created Psychic Universe. She can see into the future." Ivy said.
"From what we've seen, her insights are never wrong." Cobalt said.
"Yes...a long time enemy. You will find him very soon in the not so far off future." Claire said.
"I have a feeling I know who…" David said.
"Who is she talking about?" Gallantmon asked.
"Normal. A member of the Elements. When Dragon was defeated, I spared him and the others so they could live new lives for themselves."
"And it seems to look like Normal made good use of his if he keeps going at it." Leopardmon said.
"So it would seem. Probably should've taken him down when I had the chance." David said.
"It isn't your fault. We didn't know what he was capable of." Jesse said. "Still...I can't shake the feeling he's planning something big."
"Whatever it is, we'll stop him for sure." David said.
"After what he did sending those Robot Masters into Cyberspace. Count on it." Ace added.
"Yeah…But about Normal...there is something bothering me about him for awhile. Didn't he seem a little...too loyal to Dragon?" Jexi asked.
"Now that you mention it, yeah. Out of all of the Elements that stayed with Dragon, he was the only one that wasn't appalled by his methods." David said.
"And when Dragon went to absorb the remaining ones...Normal could have helped them, yet he chose to do nothing. And when Jesse saw him on that junkyard planet...he said he could have cared less about his feelings for him." Rainbow said.
"Just what're his motives behind all this?" Arnice asked.
"That's not the question. The real question is...was Dragon really pulling strings when the Elements rose...or was there a hidden puppet master?" Rainbow asked.
"Hmm… These kinds of cases usually point towards the latter." Leopardmon said.
"No one knows what really happened when the Elements awoke. All we know is that they appeared and tried to wipe out the Enhanced, even when doing so was useless." Rainbow said. "And then the destruction of that planet...I saw what happened. Normal was leaving the reactor core of that base and headed to the docking bay...without going to his teammates first."
"So, Normal had an agenda of his own the whole time. I was a fool for not realizing it sooner." David said.
"Then there was the stuff Connor showed us during the aftermath of the battle with Galeem and Dharkon. His secret meetings, the samplings from many different people...I'm starting to think Normal was a bit more than his namesake." Hope said.
"Whatever the case, there's nothing we can do about him until he actually makes a move." Jexi said.
"Yeah, we'll run into him soon. I can feel it." Hope said as they went into the garage to meet up with the others.
"Thanks again for helping us with this data, guys. I really can see that these upgrades are gonna do wonders against these heartless things." Hiro said.
"Our pleasure." Theo said. "It was kinda cool to do some Shugyo."
"I told ya it would be awesome!" Fred said. "Now, what say we get working on those upgrades?"
They were about to start working when Baymax's scanners picked something up. "Hiro, I am detecting three DNA signatures that do not match the entirety of this complex."
"You mean there's people in here with us?" Hope asked.
"Are they friend or foe?" Kendo asked.
"Not that I can detect… I do detect however…. Spider DNA." Baymax answered.
"Spider?" Miu asked.
Everyone then looked around as they were anticipating an attack.
"Guys… maybe we're not the only people who thought to come here." Hope said.
When Hope said that, everyone heard a noise like someone was throwing and catching a cube of some sort. They turned to see someone walking out of the shadows tossing a rubix cube up and down. He wore all black and white with a trenchcoat and hat over a suit that fully covered his body and also wore goggles that shined white. For some odd reason, his coattails were flowing in the wind, even though they were inside.
The new face put the Rubix cube away and tipped his hat. "Hey, fellas." he greeted.
"Wait...Spiderman?" X asked.
"No. Something's different." David said.
"Is… is he in black and white?" Hope asked.
"Where's that wind coming from, were in a garage." Hagakure said.
"Wherever I go the wind follows. And wind… it smells like rain." the black and white spider man said.
"Hey, don't forget about me!" a voice said as they soon saw a girl with a kind of spider like mech as she wheeled around in Hiro's chair near his desk. "Hi, Guys!" she saluted. "Konichiwa! Hajimemashite yoroshiku!" she said flipping out of the chair as her mech followed, boxing the air with her.
"Wait a sec… Is she actually Japanese?" David asked.
"Looks like it." Hope said. "And judging by their looks, they are like Spider Man, but… something's different about them."
"Lets just say kid that we sorta come from different parts of his story." the black spiderman said.
"So… who are you exactly? You're Peter Parker, right?" Zero asked.
"Sort of." the Noir spider said. "Where I come from, it's 1933, and I'm a private eye. And… let's just say I have a few other quirks, such as staring at matches and watching them burn up in my hands to feel something… anything." he sighed.
"And what about you?" Hope asked.
"My name is Peni Parker, and I'm from a New York in the year 3145." the girl introduced. "I have a psychic link with a spider who lives inside my father's robot, the Sp/dr. And were best friends… heh… forever." she said as she rubbed the mech, its face making a cute expression.
"Man…. Ro, eat your heart out." Theo said to his guildmate as he looked at the 8ft tall red and blue spider-bot.
"That mech is so amazing! I've never seen anything like this!" Miu said.
Shoji then looked at mari, who was geeking out. "You're excited to see this robot too." he said to the scientist.
"Of course I am, I'm a woman of science too. And it has a soul too, just like you Fulgore." Mari said using her Gauntlet to scan it as Mercury popped out and looked at Sp/dr.
"More to the point… I don't think you two… er, three, are supposed to be here exactly. How did you get here?" Aqua asked.
"That's the thing. You were talking about the guy who sent us here when you came in." Noir said. "You said his name was Normal?"
"Not long ago...he and his people...destroyed the worlds we come from." Peni said.
"Ah… Sorry to hear that." David said.
"It gets weirder. I think we should talk this over while your friends upgrade." Noir said. "Let's take this back from the beginning. So, we stopped Kingpin from collapsing our dimensions and returned to our home dimensions before we were gone from existence, right?"
"Yeah, that's right. And we thought it was over, but then something happened. Our worlds merged again, this time with other worlds we didn't even know were out there." Peni said. "We thought it was Kingpin again, because we were in New York like before, but there were vines growing all over the place."
"We also saw news channels going off about a lot of subjects, such as for instance a ninja village showing up, a naval base planted in Tokyo…" Noir started.
"What? Tokyo too?" David asked.
"Nokia… I hope she's okay." Omnimon said.
"Yeah. Rina too…" UlforceVeedramon said.
"Well...not like yours. Apparently we were someplace he called the real world." Noir said.
"What?" Jade said.
"Wait… that world we were dragged into with Nate. He called it the world of pores with…" Hope started.
"It's not just that world...apparently he's dragging several worlds in and merging them with that one." Noir said.
"They're what? How did you find all this out?" Jexi asked.
"We had to infiltrate his base of operations in order to find a way out of there." Peni said as the mech produced a strange device. "He called this a barrier breacher. Apparently it can allow travel between our worlds and that real one."
"Whatever he's planning, its something big. He's gathered up a whos who of villains we don't even know, even a vampire guy who talks like he rules the world or something." Noir said.
"Rules the world? Dio!" Jexi said.
"But how? We saw Jotaro turn him into dust!" Sunset said.
"That's not the strangest part." Peni said. "Normal also somehow turned the citizens into superhumans with powers we couldn't figure out. He calls them Jumpers. From what we counted...only 1,000 of the 100,000 he gave the formula to get powers."
"We knew we had to do something, so while Normal and his band were busy, we snagged the barrier breacher and used it to come here. We figured since the worlds are merging, it's only a matter of time before yours are brought into it too. Probably even the Tokyo you came from." Noir said to David.
"Unbelievable… To think that he would go that far." David said.
"Whatever Normal's up to with this plan of his, it's not good." Hope said. "Especially if villains like Dio are involved."
"So far he's only going for specific worlds. I'm guessing his big plans aren't ready yet. Meaning we have time before he goes through with them." Noir said.
"It's a lot to take in. but for now, we should focus on the here and now. One problem at a time." Hope said.
"Yeah...especially when we have work to do." Ulrich said pointing to the computer showing a heartless attack in the city.
"We should get moving then." Leopardmon said before looking to David, Omnimon and UlforceVeedramon. "Especially you three. Maybe it will help you get your minds off all of the information that's been processed."
"He's right. Try not to think too much about it right now, okay?" Sectonia asked.
"Okay." The three of them said.
"Go time." Hiro said as the groups sprung into action.
Out on the San Fransokyo streets, the heartless were attacking everything in sight as the groups leaped into the fray. They combated the heartless all over the South District as David, Omnimon and UlforceVeedramon attacked with purpose and focus.
"Sorry… but I'm taking out some stress here. No hard feelings… not that you have any." Ulforceveedramon said. "Victory Sword!" he called slashing through a group of heartless with blinding speed.
"Transcendent Sword! And Supreme Cannon!" Omnimon shouted blasting and shooting down the heartless left and right.
"Freeze Lancer!" David shouted shooting crystals at the waves of Heartless in front of him.
"You guys feeling better?" Sero asked wrapping up a few.
"A little. Leops was right. We really needed this." David said.
"Yeah, nothing like a little heartless encounter to take your mind off stuff." Hope said as they continued to fight.
Meanwhile, Big Hero 6 was using their new upgrades in their suits to combat the heartless. Gogo was speeding away from a few of them, or perhaps leading them away.
"Just try and catch me." Gogo taunted as she accelerated and leaped up to a building, her wheels sticking to the wall as she threw her discs and defeated the heartless below her.
Wasabi was firing his laser shots at the flying heartless types, but to no effect as he had trouble aiming..
"I've got an idea!" Honey lemon said running up as she produced a chem ball from her device and threw it at the heartless, covering them in smoke.
"Hey! I can't aim if I can't see!" Wasabi said.
Honey Lemon then switched to another Chem-Ball as she threw it at the fog, hardening it as she sent the heartless crashing to the ground.
"Better?" Honey Lemon asked.
"Much better." Wasabi said. He then fired at the block making it detonate.
Fred then make his way through the smoke and stopped in front of the heartless. "Freeze!" he called freezing the heartless in ice and then using his flame thrower, accidentally melting them out. "Whuh? Oh wait… I get it. It's a combo move!" he said leaping into the air and using both settings to obliterate the group of heartless.
Baymax launched his rocket fist through the remaining few just as Mari, Sora, Donald, Goofy and the others arrived.
"That was awesome, Baymax!" Mari called.
Baymax then held his fist out.
"Uh… what is it buddy?" Hope asked.
"Now we fistbump." Baymax said.
"Fistbump?" Sora asked.
"To display excitement. Hiro taught it to me." Baymax explained.
"I think I get ya." Mari said pounding her fist with Baymax's.
"Bah-la-la-la-la-la." Baymax said moving his fingers as he pulled his arm back.
"Bah-la-la-la-la-la!" Mari cheered, doing the same.
"...I don't get it." Noir said.
Suddenly a large Golem appeared behind them.
"Another one?!" Hope asked.
"Don't worry, we're here!" Honey Lemon said as Big Hero 6 gathered.
"Hold on, can't we battle something our own size?!" Wasabi asked.
"Looks about the right size to me. Right?" Gogo replied.
"No complaints here." David said.
"Let's do this, shall we?" Estelle said.
"Yeah, they picked the wrong day to attack us. Especially with the news we heard." Hope said.
"And they took on the wrong Court Magician." Donald added.
"And the wrong Captain of the Guard!" Goofy said.
"Prepare to face the Hero Alliance...and Keyblade Hero 3!" Sora said.
"Stop calling us that!" Donald said.
"Time to tip the scales everyone!" Reflet called.
"And you guys have the help of the Crime Fighting team of Big Hero 6!" Hiro announced. "Together, we're unstoppable."
"Let's go everyone!" Ace called. They then charged the golem as Sora struck it with his keyblade as the screen suddenly whited out.
Sometime later, the group was on top of the bridge eating fudgepops and talking amongst themselves.
"Was that awesome, or totally awesome?!" Fred asked. "David, you and your two knight buds were on fire!"
"Heh. Thanks. Though, we can't take all the credit." David said.
"All I can say, is that we were victorious. Right, Honey Lemon?" Estelle asked.
"Very." Honey Lemon said. "Donald, your magic is something else. Is it okay if I study it sometime?"
"Aw, why not?" Donald asked.
"You just made his day." Garnet said.
"He did, and I gotta thank Hiro for helping me make this." Mari said holding up a gunshaped device.
"Yeah...you're a little genius Hiro." Jexi said.
"Well my brother wanted to help people and now we try and do the same." Hiro said.
"Your brother?" Ro asked.
"Yeah, Tadashi. There was a fire and now he's gone." Hiro said.
"Ah… Sorry to hear that…" David said.
"It's okay. He always wanted to make a difference. He cared about people. That's why he built Baymax, to do just that." Hiro said.
"I think right now, he's very proud of you." Ace said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, he's always here. In Baymax, all of us." Hiro said.
"Friends in our hearts, right?" Theo asked. "It's probably the same with family."
"Yeah...that's right. He will always be a part of us." Hiro said.
"And when you're not strong enough, he'll make up the difference." Sora said.
"Words to live by." Hope said.
Sora then looked towards Hiro, Gogo and Baymax and suddenly saw Hayner, Pence and Olette for a second.
"Sora, you okay?" Hope asked.
"Yeah...I'm fine." Sora said with a hand over his heart. "Don't worry...I'm with you."
Later in the night, the group walked back from the bridge before they saw a large mass of cube like objects fly by them.
"Huh?" Theo asked.
"Great… they're back." Gogo said.
"Oh, we got this." Wasabi said.
"Time for a lesson." Honey Lemon added.
"Charge!" Fred called as the four chased after the cluster of black cubes.
"Wait, guys! It's not like the others!" Hiro called as they ran out of sight.
"What are those things?" Hope asked.
"They look like some sort of microbot." Peni said as Sp/dr scanned them. "Hiro, do you know about them?"
"They're a sort of minibot I invented a while back. But I thought they were all gone. These enemies are way too similar." Hiro said.
"Well, somehow, they're back." Leopardmon said.
"I'm going back to the garage to investigate. You mind going after them?" Hiro asked.
"We're on it!" David said.
"Baymax, I need to to stay with them and watch their backs, alright?" Hiro asked.
"Alright. I will be your personal healthcare companion, Hero Alliance." Baymax said.
"Hey guys!" a voice called as Team Chronicle ran up. "Sorry we're late," Mark started. "But we ran into a few... problems."
"Did those problems happen to be black and cube related?" Hope asked.
"Yep." Scarlet said. "We tried fighting them, but we couldn't even hurt it."
"Makes sense. It works like a hive. We can't cause any major damage unless we can hit its core." Tails said. "But given the number of cubes, it's difficult to figure out which one the core is."
"I'll see if I can locate that core. You guys focus on chasing it down." Hiro said over Sora's AR device.
"Hmm." Mari said as she looked at the device she and Hiro invented. "Secret Weapon time."
"If you're planning on using that hacking gun thing on the Darkubes, wait for a sec, Mari." Fred piped in. "Hiros gotta analyze em first."
"I'm sorry, Darkubes?" Yumi asked.
"Yeah, they're dark and they cubes. I call em like I see em." Fred said.
"Best name we're probably gonna get." David said.
"Wait...it looks like they're all starting to gather at one location." Tails said. "On top of that building." he said pointing to a far off building.
"Then let's get up there." Eddy said, taking flight towards the building.
Big Hero 6 and the group gathered up on top of the building where the Darkubes came together.
"Now what're they doing?" Okchako asked.
"Don't think we wanna find out." Wasabi said.
"I say we destroy the things!" Fred suggested.
"When we figure out how, we can do that." ZS said.
"He's right. If we charge in without a strategy, we're just wasting strength." Gohan said.
Mari was about to use her new gadget when suddenly everyone saw a black coated individual walk up.
"The Organization, of course they're behind this." Hope said.
"Aw, what's wrong Hope? You sound disappointed." the figure said.
"That voice…!" Sora said.
"Wait… you know this guy?" Wasabi asked.
"Enter the supervillain." Fred said.
"He definitely has the vibe." Honey Lemon said.
The figure then removed his hood as he was a face everyone knew.
"Riku?" Sora said.
"Keep your wits about you. That is not Riku." Leopardmon said.
"He's right. This one is younger. He's the Riku from when Ansem possessed him back in Hollow Bastion." Yang said.
"But there's something odd about this one." Mari said. "You're a Replica, aren't you?"
"Still needs more." Riku said ignoring her as he took out a card.
"Where did he get that?!" Hiro said in shock.
"Hiro, you know it?" Mari asked.
"Yeah, that's the first chip I made for Baymax. It's full of combat programs." Hiro said.
"Programs?" Noir said.
"Yeah, they tell Baymax how to react." Hiro said.
"So it's like his heart… or a part of it." Hope said.
"Kind of." Donald added.
"More then." Riku said tossing the chip into the Darkubes as they fully incorporated the programs.
"Heads up, guys!" Hagakure said.
Leopardmon used Extinction Wave before the Darkubes started to reform. "Damn… No matter how many are cut down, more take their place."
"Leops. The scan shows that the core is at the very center of the cluster." David said. "The problem however, is getting to it. But...I know that you are capable of exposing it."
"You are certain? After all, no matter how many are cut down, more reappear in its place." Leopardmon said.
"Then strike faster than they can regenerate. We've trusted you a lot with our strategies over the course of our operations. This is no different." Omnimon said.
"He's right, Leops. You do trust us, do you?" David asked.
"...Yes. Of course I do." Leopardmon said as he started to glow. When that glow fades, his armor was much more bulky, his rapier is now a laser sword and he now has a cape on his back.
"The X-Antibody." Hope said.
The Darkubes then struck at Lepoardmon, seeing him as the primary threat.
"Bad move." Lepoardmon said. "Eine Billion!" he said as a good chunk of Darkubes were cut down in a mere instant.
"Whoa!" Rainbow said.
"So fast… faster than even Veevee." Connie said.
At the end of his attack, the Darkubes surrounding the core were cut down.
"Everyone, the core!" Leopardmon said.
"Right!" David said firing several shots at the core. "Now, Leops!"
"Right away! Black Aura Blast!" Leopardmon said firing a beam that merges with David's striking the core.
"That takes care of that…" Hope said as he saw the combat chip on the ground. "Hiro, the chip!"
"I got it!" Hiro said going for it before Riku snachted it up.
"Oh this isn't for you...at least not until we're done." Riku said.
"What are you trying to do?" Dynasmon asked.
"He's obviously up to no good." Hope said.
"But… Mari said he's a replica. So, is that really Riku?" Sora asked. "If he is, why does he look like that?"
"I think the answer is obvious." Leopardmon said.
"Yeah, to Mari's point, that's actually a copy of Riku. One of the Replicas that we're trying to use to bring Roxas back. Created by Vexen." Hope said.
"Yes, the replica program was a success. We are as real as people. And to answer the knight's question...we're trying to recreate a heart from data." Riku said.
"Recreating a heart from data? Is that even possible?" Hope asked.
"Of course it is. Some of us here are already proof of that." Fulgore said.
"And even that walking balloon over there has a heart, at least that's the nonsense I'm supposed to believe." Riku said.
"Just what are you trying to say, replica?" Corona asked.
"I'm saying the experiment is only just beginning." Riku said. "I think I'll get back to work now." he said disappearing.
"Just what the heck is he up to?" Gemini asked.
"It's hard to say, but he's going to regret what he said." Tsuki said.
Back at the Garage…
"So, that guy's name is Riku. And you know him?" Hiro asked.
"Yeah… well, we know the real one, he's part of my team. The other one's just a fake." Hope said.
"A Replica, a sort of doppelganger that looks the same as the original." Luke said hanging his head.
"Okay, but how did he get Hiro's chip?" Wasabi asked.
"And what did he mean by experiment?" Honey Lemon added.
"He said he was trying to recreate a heart from data." Sora said.
"But, we still don't know what they really want. None of us do." Hope said. "All the organization does is show up, talk to us with things that go directly to the heart, getting under our skin, and leave. They're cowards, all of them."
"Now they're doing it to you guys. We're sorry we dragged you into this." Flamberge said.
"No, it's okay. This is actually good." Hiro said. "That chip might finally get me some answers."
"So what do we do in the meantime?" Simon asked as he pulled out another Heartbinder that was yellow and had a blaster on it.
"Well, I think it's best if we ask about that chip." Hope said. "Hiro, you said you made it for Baymax, right?"
"Yeah...see this one...its the second model. The first Baymax was lost within another dimension." Hiro said.
"Another dimension… Hmm…" UlforceVeedramon muttered.
"Is he okay?" Wasabi asked.
"Yeah. It's a little hard to explain." David said.
"A little while ago, we were placed under mind control and forced to launch an attack on Tokyo. But…" Crusadermon started.
"Our UlforceVeedramon...didn't make it past the rift." Omnimon said.
"Wait, if he didn't get through the rift, then who's the one with you?" Wasabi asked.
"To completely free all the Royal Knights, we were…forced to find an UlforceVeedramon from another dimension to take his place." David said.
"Wait… another one? So you're saying the one we know is…?" Sonic asked. "Well guess that would explain some things."
"Sorry Sonic. We had a feeling you'd figure it out sooner or later, so we thought we may as well get it out now." UlforceVeedramon said.
"Honestly, there were a few hints that you weren't the original. The fact you went by Veevee for one. And you're a lot faster than the original one." Sonic said. "But...it doesn't matter to me if you were the original or a copy...you're still a rival of speed in my book."
"Seems he's okay with it, Veevee." Simon said before handing the Heartbinder to Sora. "Here."
"Thanks." Sora said taking it.
"So...mind control...you were there when it happened? The Digital Weaponization project?" Ro asked.
"That's right. It was supposed to be a period of respite for the Hero License Exam, but…" David started.
"It turned out to be a warzone of Digimon, didn't it?" Ro asked.
"Yeah, Tokyo was about to be digitized, so we had to convince the Royal Knights to help us put a stop to the Eaters." Ace said.
"It wasn't easy, though. Some of them were really hard to convince in that state." Sachiko said. "You...you know something about it."
"Unfortunately yes. The project was a way to weaponize data in order to better protect data systems. But the scientist in charge...he took it to another level. Recently, we had discovered the Royal Knight's data through what remained of their armor in Ylisse. We revived their bodies and hoped they would follow us but...I couldn't stand seeing them used as weapons seeing as how they were perfect digital beings. So...in secrecy...I hired someone to try and steal their data along with backup data of two of the Olympos XII recovered from a failed energy experiment." Ro said.
"Lucas…" David said.
"That explains it then." Ace said.
"You brought them back, and that got me thinking…" Hiro said. "The first Baymax that my brother built… he may be still alive too."
Suddenly an explosion was felt as the ground shook.
"What was that?" Hope asked as Hiro went to his desk and pulled up a news article.
"Its the Darkubes, they're attacking the city." Hiro said.
"Then that's our cue, let's go." Mari said.
The heroes went out into the city as they faced the Darkubes high up on a skyscraper.
"This time, I know we can take it down." Gogo said. "Hope it learned some new tricks."
"Hard part for it now is, its gotta face all of us." Wasabi said.
"With our current numbers, our probability of success is…" Baymax started to calculate.
"You don't need to crunch the numbers, Baymax." Hiro said. "It's not the sum of our parts, but the sum of our hearts."
"That's right, Hiro. Together, we can make a difference." Mari said.
"Which adds up to what?" Repliku said standing on a fan. "Show me." he said jumping down as he slashed apart the core forcing the cubes to fall. "Almost there."
"What did you do that for, wasn't that creation of yours on your side?" Hope asked.
"Yes, but I only used that pile of junk to collect the data we needed." Repliku said. "The terror of being attacked without warning, the despair of having nowhere to go, the longing it for revenge. That's why I made sure our creation fought all of you. Now we have a complete heart." Repliku said.
"A heart made from conflict? That can't be real." Crusadermon said.
"What was it that Sora said? 'I only have to see it for it to become real.'?" Repliku asked. "I want to see it for myself. And for that… we need a vessel."
Repliku then thrusted his hand to the sky as a dark portal appeared. The Darkubes then rose up into the air and brought something out of it, something Hiro recognized.
"Baymax…" Hiro realized.
Hiro was right, as the Darkubes collectively formed into Baymax, only with dark armor, horns and a visor over its helmet. Its left arm was also replaced with a massive fist made of Darkubes.
"That's the first Baymax… what did you do to it?!" Hope asked.
"I did say I would return this to where I found it." Repliku said inserting the chip into Baymax, this causing the visor to turn completely red. "All of you...are going to complete this heart...by destroying Hiro's friend right in front of him."
"No, we're gonna save him no matter what." Mari said.
Mari was about to pull out her new weapon again before Dark Baymax charged.
"Mari, look out!" Hope said as Big Hero 6, Donald, and Goofy went to hold him back. Dark Baymax knocked the heroes aside, but Baymax knocked it off the building.
"Whatever that gun does, I think that Baymax doesn't want you using it." Noir said.
"Yeah… what even IS it anyway?" Ochako asked.
"An EMF-Visualizer." Mari said.
"What does it do? Tell me it can stop Dark Baymax." Connie said.
"It's capable of controlling and hacking machines, if I can get a good enough angle, I can hack and disable him without any major damage." Mari said.
"We have to slow him down first." Hope said as Dark Baymax rose up. "Hiro… you leave Dark Baymax to us. I know he means everything to you, and Tadashi. So let us be the ones to bring him back."
"Baymax, me and Sora will need your help with this one." Mari said.
"Yeah, you'll need his help." Hiro said. "I already made this mistake once before. Tadashi wouldn't want there to be a Baymax that hurts people. Everyone, I'm counting on you to stop him."
"Don't worry, we'll get him back." Mari assured. "You two ready?"
"I am ready, Mari, Sora." Baymax said as he took flight, Sora and Mari getting on his back.
"The rest of us will cut Dark Baymax off in the city and give Mari a good shot with the Visualizer. Veevee, can you get ahead of Dark Baymax and cut him off?" Hope said.
"Leave it to me!" UlforceVeedramon said.
(Cue- Boss Battle 2- Kingdom Hearts 3)
"Split up across the streets! Peni, Noir, you go high with the flyers, the rest of us will go ground level." Hope said.
"You got it!" Peni said as she and Noir swung through the city as the others broke off.
Dark Baymax led Baymax, Sora and Mari on a wild chase through San Fransokyo, but just as he was getting a lead, UlforceVeedramon appeared in front of him.
"Where do you think you're going?" UlforceVeedramon asked. "Victory Sword!" he said as he struck with his saber.
Dark Baymax turned the other way as he ran right into a tackle from Baymax, Sora shooting at his Dark Copy with his keyblade. Dark Baymax tried to flee again, but he was caught by webbing shot at his jet boots, making him fumble in the air.
"We're not gonna let you leave!" Peni called inside Sp/dr.
"I don't let anyone go." Noir said as the two Spider-Warriors webbed up Dark Baymax. "Mari, now!"
"Alright, here goes!" Mari said as the EMF-V shined a spectral light that showed Dark Baymax's core as she hacked into it before Dark Baymax shut down and fell to the ground and his armor disappeared. "Did it work?"
"It did. I don't see any more of that faker's corruption in this Baymax's systems. And the darkube armor is gone." Peni said.
"Not quite. Safety mode kicks in if he's put under too much stress so he's possibly just in stasis. We'll have to destroy the chip to be sure." Hiro said.
"Dude, you don't have to go that far." Fred said.
"Fred's right. There's gotta be another way. Even if that chip is full of dark programs… that's still his heart." Hope said.
"No...this is the right thing to do." Hiro said removing the chip from the first Baymax. "Tadashi...would have probably done the same thing. But it's okay either way. Baymax...is here." he said pointing to his heart. "I should be the one." he said before breaking the chip in half.
Some unknown amount of time later…
"Ow?" Hiro said as the first Baymax's eyes opened to the group.
"Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion." it said.
"It worked!" Hiro said.
"Who would've thought we could copy Baymax's healthcare programs into a new chip and reprogram the first one so easy?" Flamberge said.
"Well, Hiro did have Mari and myself helping." Peni said. "I may be on the younger side, but I'm quite the genius."
"Well now that both Baymax's and San Fransokyo are safe, why don't you, Sp/dr and Noir come with us?" Ace asked.
"That might actually be a good idea. After all, they're got nowhere else to go." Hope said.
"That's mighty generous of you. We'll gladly come along." Noir said.
"Welcome aboard. And as for our next destination...it's The Caribbean." Mari said.
At the mention of this, Sora smiled.
"We know that world well. We actually have an ally there." Jexi said.
"Looks like it's time to get our Pirate on." Theo said looking at Limestone. "You'll fit right in there, Limestone."
"I'm not a pirate. I'm a thief who steals from bad guys." Limestone said.
"I bet Patty would've enjoyed that world. She is the incarnation of Aifread after all." Estelle said.
"Yeah… Eizen, too." David said.
"Well then, I think you'll have to take a long hard look at everything you see there, and tell Patty all about it." Hope said. "It's time to go pirating."
