Well, I certainly delivered on intense, didn't I? And the ride's not over…so get in, sit down, shut up, and hold on!

While Cass and Hiro were being 'interrogated' by Serena Sonikos and her Black Dragon thugs, the other members of Big Hero 6 were investigating at the Lucky Cat Café. Honey, Fred and Wasabi had entered the café-and were shocked at the level of chaos in the café. Honey said, "Look…there's Baymax."

The heroes came up to the medic-bot, who was slumped over. Wasabi saw the disc on Baymax, and said, "What's this?"

Fred replied, "I dunno…I've never seen anything like this. I wish Hiro was here…he might be able to identify what this is."

Wasabi said, "Let's try to recharge Baymax. Maybe we can get a clue from him."

With a portable supercharger, Baymax had a minimum charge within 15 minutes. At 30 minutes, he was at 50% capacity. His eyes glowed, and he said, "Greetings, friends. How may I help you?"

Honey said, "Baymax! We're glad you're alright."

Baymax said, "I am fine. What has happened?"

Fred said, "Well, we're hoping you ca tell us. Cass is gone."

Baymax replied, "Oh dear. This is bad." Wasabi said, "This was attached to your chest."

Baymax said, "Wait. I have a replay of what happened."

Honey said, "OK, Baymax. Replay video." At that, a screen appeared and replayed images from earlier.

The heroes peered at the screen-and three black garbed men were standing in the café. One of them threw the disk at Baymax. Baymax's voice said, "I do not recognize this device."

A different voice said, "It's an electric overcharge. It will overcharge your battery beyond capacity-then drain your power cells." At that, the image on the screen began to flicker and short out. The recording continued, and they heard, "And now for you…"

They heard a cry of pain, and saw the three men leaving the café. Baymax said, "That is where my recording ends." Fred said, "This is bad…"

Wasabi said, "Bad how?" Fred replied, "These aren't your average, garden-variety thugs. If they have access to tech like that…what else could they be capable of?"

Honey added, "And that's not the worst thing." Wasabi added, "I know I'm going to regret asking…but what could be worse that a gang with super-advanced tech?"

Honey said, "That gang…has Hiro's aunt as a hostage. We know they're working for Serena Sonikos. So they grabbed Aunt Cass…"

Fred said, "…to make Hiro join them! And if she gets a hold of Hiro's microbots…"

Wasabi said, "Wait, guys…let's deal with one crisis at a time. So, we got to rescue Hiro's aunt, Hiro, and hope she hasn't convinced him to join her?"

Honey said, "Well, the first part we got covered…while we were here...GoGo is on rescue duty."

The aforementioned speedster had taken to the roofs to avoid being spotted by anyone in the black sedan. The car drove in a serpentine manner-possibly to avoid tails. But GoGo was excellent at tailing-and she tailed the sedan to the warehouse district. She watched the sedan come to a halt.

The door opened, and two men got out. Another man pulled Hiro out-he may have been wearing a hood, but she recognized his clothes. The thugs escorted Hiro into the warehouse. GoGo leapt onto the roof of warehouse, and found a door that led inside. She found a perch and looked down at what was happening.

As she watched, she counted 8 of the Black Dragon gang members. She watched them put manacles on Hiro, then chain him to the floor. Then-GoGo saw her…and she was stunned at her appearance. In fact, it almost made GoGo feel insecure…almost…

She watched as the thugs tortured Cass…and she had heard the threat Serena made. She saw Serena caress Hiro's face, and then he was released.

Back down on the warehouse floor, Serena said, "Well, we're done here. Hiro, milove…let's go."

Hiro said, "What about my aunt?" Serena said, "We will let her go…but we have more pressing matters." At that, Serena, Hiro, and Boss Kanagi left the warehouse. Before they left, Kanagi said, "Find Hiro's friends. Take them out."

At that, some of the thugs left-and there were three thugs left with Aunt Cass. One thug said, "So what now?"

One of them looked at Cass-who was in tears after both her ordeal and seeing Hiro being taken away-and said, "Well, we can still have our fun."

The other thugs chuckled, and they grabbed Cass and restrained her back on the 'X'. GoGo watched from high up-and had enough. She hopped down, and zipped behind some crates. She watched as one of the thugs pulled out a blade, and traced it along Cass's face and neck. Cass shivered as the blade touched her skin-and the thug slid the blade between her breasts and under her bra. With a quick swipe, he cut the bra.

That action led to the others cheering-and GoGo stepping out from behind the crates. With a loud shout, she said, "HEY! What kind of creeps are you-to take advantage of a helpless woman?"

One of the thugs said, "I know you-you're that GoGo." And GoGo, smiling behind her helmet, replied, "Well, then…you should know what's coming next." One of the thugs said, "We do…but the question is…do you know what's coming next?"

At that, the thug removed a black cube. He hit the top of the cube, and a pulse of energy was released. GoGo said, "What was that?"

The thug said, "We have done our homework on Big Hero 6. In fact, your friends are going to meet with other Black Dragon gangsters. For you, we have a velocity reducer."

GoGo said, "Huh? How could you have that kind of tech?"

The thug said, "For us…our connections run long…and our pockets are deep. And that device rendered your high-speed mag-lev wheels useless."

GoGo looked at the discs on her arms and legs. She saw that the red light that signaled the discs ready was out. She sighed, and removed the discs. The thugs said, 'So what are you gonna do now, GoGo?"

GoGo brought her hands up, and got into a fighting stance. She said, "I'm gonna kick your tailpipes." She quickly crossed the floor, and delivered a punch to one thug's throat. She then spun and hit another thug with a backfist, before lifting her foot into his groin. She then delivered a kick to the last thug's knee, causing him to collapse. She then grabbed his head, and drove her knee into his face.

As the three thugs lay on the ground, she said, "You should have spent some time on extra credit-you would have learned I'm also a master of val tudo." She then ran over to Cass, and freed her from the restrains. Once Cass was done, the older woman grabbed GoGo in an embrace, sobbing in her arms.

GoGo was shocked-but after Cass's experience, she'd do the same thing in her place. GoGo said, "It's OK…maybe not…but those creeps won't hurt you."

Cass said, "It's not me I'm concerned about." GoGo said, "It's Hiro…where did he take off to?"

Cass pulled herself away, and said, "I'm not sure…he took off with that Serena lady." GoGo picked up her mag-lev wheels, and saw they were still off-line. She activated her comm-link, and said, "Wasabi, Honey, Fred…come in."

There was static, then a voice. "GoGo? It's Wasabi."

GoGo said, "I've taken care of my part of the mission. How about you?"

Wasabi replied, "Clear on our end. We had a little visit from Serena's goon squad. Tell Cass we're sorry about the café."

GoGo chuckled, and said, "I think the café's the least of her worries. But we know that Serena has Hiro now."

Wasabi said, "Alright, then. What's the next move?

GoGo said, "Why are you asking me?"

Wasabi replied, "Hiro is the leader. He isn't here. So you are in charge." GoGo exhaled, and said, "Alright. I need a lift."

Wasabi said, "OK. We're tracing your signal now."

And that's all for that chapter! I have an action-packed chapter planned for next time-featuring the other members of Big Hero 6 taking on the Black Dragon.

Addendum-Val tudo, which is the style GoGo uses to dispatch the thugs in the warehouse, is a catch-all fighting style. Its translation is "everything goes." So, GoGo targeted the most sensitive areas on a body-the throat, the groin, the nose, the knee…

Catch you next time!
