Disney Reference in the last chapter was the piece that Chronosauntus stole. It was based off of the ice palace that Elsa made in Frozen. ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own Big Hero 6, because if I did, then this would be a dark special or whatever.
How Long is Forever:
Chapter 3:
Marooned in the Future
Hiro ran after Chronosauntus as he seemed to have solid footing in this vortex; which although odd, Hiro didn't question it. He just needed to catch up to Chronosauntus.
"You're not going anywhere!" Hiro shouted at him.
The time wielder looked over his shoulder before running again. "Oh great, you're here."
"And I'm not leaving until you give back the piece that you stole from the museum!"
Chronosauntus laughed. "Leave?! You're running through the time stream now, boy! There is no leaving unless I ordain it."
Hiro growled.
"You should've stayed in your own time." He added.
Hiro increased his speed and soon, he caught up to the man.
"Fast, are you?" He asked. The giant clock on his chest began to let out its golden glow once more."Well then, let's see you catch me in my ti-"
Hiro lunged at him and together the two came tumbling down to the ground.
But just as the two impacted the ground, the clock on the thief's chest cracked. This caused the golden waves that started to come out of it slowly turned to crimson.
"NO!" Chronosauntus shouted. "What have you done?!"
"Wrecked your technology." Hiro smirked. "Now take us back to the museum!"
Things began to turn a grayish hue around them. "With what you've done, I don't even know if we'll end up when I originally intended."
"What?!" Hiro gasped.
Chronosauntus pushed Hiro off of him and tried once again to make his time piece work. But to no avail.
Instead things went dark and Hiro was left in the darkness.
~How Long is Forever~
When Hiro came to, he had a piercing headache and blurred vision.
When his vision finally cleared, he sat up and took a look at his surroundings.
He was in San Fransokyo, except it wasn't. This some sort of run down, horrible version of the city he had never seen before. Familiar neon lights were just blinking and a lot of the normally sleek buildings were dull and cracked, the brilliant blue skies which were once riddled with various hot air balloons were now empty and a dull grey and the streets themselves had litter skittering down the street.
"What happened?" Hiro asked.
But the only answer he received was the cool breeze.
He looked around for Chronosauntus but the time villain was nowhere to be found.
Hiro sighed. "Guess I better find my way out of here or see if I can find the others."
So Hiro did just that. He walked around the ruined city, hoping he could find something or someone.
Hiro wanted to take the bus, but when he found one, he saw that it was tipped onto its side.
He sighed and continued to look around. He considered checking home but decided against it when he saw the broken windows of the café. It would've been too hard for him to go into his ruined home, he'd go back later.
He continued to search for a building that seemed to have some sort of life in the city but to no avail.
Hiro eventually found himself kicking a discarded soda can along the street.
What happened here? Why? Does it have something to do with Chronosauntus?
Hiro just sighed. He wasn't exactly sure what was going to happen when he chased the villain through the portal, he just wanted to get the piece back for the museum. But now, he was here and things just ended up looking terrible.
He ended up kicking his can into a gutter and clenched his fists in frustration before sitting on a bench. He just couldn't believe any of what was happening. He just wanted to curl up into a ball and cry; he couldn't believe how bad things had gotten in just one single moment.
"What happened…" He wondered aloud once more.
But at that moment he saw a light, he looked up and saw that it was the neon green sign to a bar. It read 'The Crystal Gem' in red and below it was a picture of a martini with a glowing diamond shining over the top.
Hiro felt so weird about it, but he was going to have to ditch how strange it felt to enter such a place and head inside. Maybe there he would find some answers.
When he entered the bar he found that it was mostly empty, there was a bar tender shining a mug at the counter that glared at Hiro as he entered. Other than that it was like any other bar, barstools sitting at the edge of countertops, checkered floors and tables set out under dingy lights.
But other than the tender there was no one else there.
He shrugged and began to go to the bartender. It's a start.
"Hiro?" A voice asked from behind.
What happened to San Fransokyo? Who has Hiro heard behind him? All of that will be answered in the next chapter.
Oh and I named the bar The Crystal Gem in honor of Steven Bomb 2.0 that started this week.
Not much else to say except to read and review.
