Big Hero 6: Bigger, Badder, Better!
Chapter 4 - We'll See
I don't own Big Hero 6 or any of the characters involved
The team traced his cell signal to a local hospital and raced there as fast as they could. Upon arrival they found Hiro lying in a hospital bed with Gogo by his side.
"Gogo! What happened to Hiro!?" Fred asked as he observed Hiro for any wounds or marks
"I—I was talking to Wasp and when he left, I found Hiro lying there unconscious . . . next to this." She pulled out a duffle bag with parts of Baymax's armour and external balloon.
"Baymax. . . ." Honey Lemon had her hand over her mouth in shock. Wasabi was silent as he watched the heart monitor, holding back his rage.
"Where is he?! Where's my Hiro?!" Aunt Cass burst into the room and inspected Hiro frantically. A doctor walked into the room with a clipboard.
"What happened to him? Will he be okay?!" Aunt Cass grilled the doctor for answers.
"He's suffered a few hits to the head, resulting in a minor concussion, and we found bruising near his spine and on a majority of his body. He should heal nicely over the next few weeks, but we're keeping him here overnight for observation just in case."
"Oh thank goodness." Aunt Cass ran her hand over Hiro's face in relief.
"G-Gogo," Hiro quietly mumbled in his semi-unconscious state.
"I'm here, Hiro." Gogo hesitantly reached out and held his hand—only to find a small item held tightly in his grasp. She un-tightened his fingers and picked up a computer chip.
"This is Baymax's chip." Gogo looked over the chip and saw Tadashi's name. "We're letting you down, Tadashi. . . ." Gogo held the chip to her chest.
"We're going to find whoever did this and they're gonna pay! Big time!" Fred punched the palm of his hand.
"Not yet, Fred; we should wait for Hiro to recover, but for now I'm just glad he's alive and in safe hands." Honey Lemon briefly held Hiro's other hand, then sat on a chair next to Fred and Wasabi.
After a few hours, everyone had drifted off to sleep, except Gogo, who was still awake, looking over the chip.
"Gogo?" Hiro muttered as he woke up.
"You're awake." Gogo smiled.
"Yeah. . . ." He smiled too until he saw the chip in her hand.
"Baymax! He—"
"We know, Hiro."
"You do?"
"Yeah. I was the one who brought you here."
Hiro observed his surroundings, seeing the bag with Baymax's stuff inside of it.
"I can't just lay around—I have to rebuild Baymax." He attempted to get out of bed. Gogo jumped up to stop him, but the pain ran through his body froze him on the spot.
"Ugh! No, I can't move."
"You moron! You're in here for a reason." Gogo helped him lie back down, then sat back in her chair.
"So w-why are you here? Didn't you need to talk to Wasp about something?" Hiro looked away, slightly embarrassed and a little upset.
"What do you mean by that?!" Gogo raised her voice but not enough to wake anyone
"N-nothing, don't worry! I am a moron." He tried to laugh it off, but Gogo wasn't letting go of the conversation.
"Hiro, tell me." Gogo's stare was sharper than a thousand needles.
Hiro swallowed slowly and cleared his throat
"Okay. . . . Well, earlier today when you left, Honey Lemon went upstairs to talk to Aunt Cass about . . . something."
"Go on. . . ." Gogo cracked her knuckles, causing Hiro to flinch.
"Sh-she said that you received a message from a guy who confessed to you, and it was Wasp. . . ."
"Were you eavesdropping?!"
"Oh, um . . . yes?" Hiro closed his eyes, waiting for a hit that never came. He opened his eyes and all he saw was Gogo staring at him.
"You didn't hear the whole conversation did you?"
"I'm guessing not?"
"Well since this has caused a huge misunderstanding, I'm going to come clean, but I swear if you make a big deal out of this, this hospital will become your permanent home."
"Right, got it." Hiro swallowed hard and nodded nervously.
"I received two messages; one from Wasp and one from Baymax." Gogo's cheeks became slightly pink. Hiro's face became a bright red tomato
"Both were confessions of feelings to me and in faith I told Honey Lemon that I would talk to one of them tomorrow and I had planned to talk with one of them today. I talked with Wasp and—"
"What did you tell him!?" Hiro sat up, despite his condition, too curious to hear the answer.
"I told him I wasn't sure and I don't really 'date' much."
"Oh. . . ." Hiro sat back down but then sat back up again. "What about the other guy?! What do you plan to say to him!?"
Gogo just stood up and walked towards Hiro then leant down as lightly as ever kissed his cheek.
"We'll see." She then swiftly left the room, leaving Hiro in a confused and love-struck state.
"Smooth." Fred gave Hiro a thumbs-up.
"I thought you were sleeping!" Hiro quietly shouted.
"I was until I felt Wasabi's drool on my shoulder. He was muttering something about kittens."
"Hehe . . . kitty play," Wasabi muttered and smiled in his sleep.
"I never took Wasabi for a cat person."
"Fred, you can't tell anyone what just happened!"
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry, your secret's safe with me, little dude." Fred winked.
"Thanks, Fred, I—" Hiro stopped talking suddenly.
"What? Hiro? What were you saying?"
"Shhh, listen."
Hiro and Fred both stayed still, listening to a strange noise, until in an instant, the window blew up, sending debris and glass everywhere, waking everyone else in the room. The hospital set off an alarm and called for evacuations throughout the whole building.
"Hiro." The mechanical being stepped into the room
"You again!" Hiro wanted to go for round two but in his condition he would surely die.
"I didn't come here to fight." The being walked towards Hiro's bed.
"Then why are you here?!" Hiro put on his brave face but was internally panicking.
"You know why I'm here; you took it from me when you punched me, now give it back!"
"You took it from me first!"
"I'm giving you one last chance—give me the healthcare chip!"
"No!" Hiro shouted.
Wasabi launched at the machine with his laser hands, cutting off part of the machine's hand, revealing a much smaller human beneath it.
"You fool." The machine laughed as the metal regenerated.
"Take this!" Honey Lemon threw an ice ball and froze the machine on the spot.
"I got him!" Fred jumped forward and super-kicked the machine back out the window.
"He'll be back soon." Hiro gritted his teeth and forced himself out of bed. He reached into his bag and put his helmet on.
"Gogo, can you hear me?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Take the healthcare chip and hide it somewhere where no one can find it except you."
"You got it."
Fred looked out the hole where the window use to be and saw the yellow flash of Gogo's suit zoom down the city.
"Fred," Hiro said, getting Fred's attention as he finished putting his suit on.
"Yeah?"
"This is the most important task"
"You can rely on the Fredster!"
"Good! Take Aunt Cass home and protect her until I get there."
"No! I'm staying with you, Hiro!" Aunt Cass crossed her arms.
"Aunt Cass, it's too dangerous for you here!"
"And it's not too dangerous for you?! You're the one who needs to be protected right now." She pointed at his bandages.
"My armour will protect me."
"Like it did before?! I don't think so!"
"We don't have time to argue! He's going to be back here any second now!" Hiro nodded to Fred.
"Sorry, Ms. H." Fred grabbed Aunt Cass bridal style and jumped out the hole.
"Put me doooowwwwnnn!" She screamed as he jumped further away
"Wasabi, Honey Lemon, come with me." Hiro picked up the bag and began walking out the door.
"What's our job?" Honey Lemon questioned as they both followed their leader.
"Defend me while I build something."
"Build something?"
"Yeah. That machine is armour, but it's also liquid metal and I have an idea on how to stop it."
The machine hadn't returned for a while. Honey Lemon and Wasabi stood guard, and Hiro was working away with the hospital equipment.
"I wonder how Fred's doing?" Wasabi broke the silence.
"Yeah, Aunt Cass did seem really mad about being carried away like that."
"Fred has a way with people, I'm sure he'll be fine."
"Can I borrow this? Thanks." Hiro took one of Wasabi's laser gloves.
"Hey! I need that to defend you!"
"All done." Hiro gave it back then went back into the room a few minutes later.
"What did you build?" Honey Lemon walked through the door as Hiro showed them his new invention.
"I took a few things from an electric wheelchair, the scanner from the x-ray machine, and a few other things, and made this."
"Is that a glove like mine?" Wasabi raised his hand, showing his laser glove.
"Almost—it's an electro-magnetic pulse gauntlet! The machine we fought was liquid metal, which is actually very much like my micro-bots, just way, way smaller! So to disrupt the magnetic connection between the small bots, I made this gauntlet, which will both stop his armour and give anyone a real bad shock as well! What do you think?"
Both Wasabi and Honey Lemon stood there, dumbfounded.
"You made that with parts from a hospital?"
"Yeah! I was already working on one at home, but I lacked the parts."
"Hiro!" the machine yelled from somewhere in the hospital.
"Now would be the perfect time to put that gauntlet to some good use." Honey Lemon stood on guard, ready to freeze the machine should she see it.
"I can't yet, it's gotta charge! Without my Lithium-ion batteries, this thing will take a while to charge, and I can only use it once."
"Then what was the point?!" Wasabi began panicking as the door further down was being dented.
"It'll nearly destroy his suit and hold him off for days, maybe weeks." Hiro watched as the lights on his gauntlet were glowing.
"It's at sixty percent. The battery must've already had some charge."
"Good, because he's here!"
The door broke away, and the machine walked through.
"Found you." The machine began running at full speed.
"Now!" Honey Lemon threw an ice ball and a slime ball, both freezing and sticking the machine on the spot. Wasabi ran up and cut the machine's arms and legs, severing the armour.
"Not too deep Wasabi! There's someone in there!"
"I know! I'm just slowing him down." He tied some cords and hospital curtains around him.
"Try and get out of that one, you! . . . Smelly th-thing, you!"
"Nice try, Honey Lemon." Wasabi patted her back.
"I'm not good at calling people things." She looked down in embarrassment.
The curtains and cords began melting.
"Are you serious!? He's getting free! Hiro, how long until it's done?" Both heroes backed away as the machine was nearly free
"Ninety-eight percent!"
"We're about one percent away from becoming jigsaw pieces!"
They ran into the room where Hiro was. The machine walked in, glowing red hot.
"I said I wasn't here to fight, but if you insist, then I shall break each of you like twigs!" He punched the wall, and the two walls behind it also shattered into bits.
"Impressive. Watch this." Hiro pressed a button on his gauntlet and punched the machine, sending an energy force in all directions, short circuiting every electronic device within one hundred metres.
"W-what d-did y-you d-do t-to m-me?!" The machine held its head as it started melting.
"I beat you."
The heroes ran down each flight of stairs into the parking lot, leaving the melting machine behind.
"Let's take Aunt Cass's car."
They buckled in and drove away.
The machine slowly flew back to its lair and was met by a strange person at the entrance.
"I told you not to attack them yet." The eyes of the strange person shone with anger.
"I know! It wasn't me, it was—"
"Don't blame me, you fool!"
The armour shouted back at its owner.
"I was sleeping and you used me!"
The owner kicked the armour.
"Oh shut up, you buffoon, you'd be nothing without me!"
"Silence! Fix yourselves up! The next time you disobey my orders, you'll both be nothing!"
"Yes, ma'am."
