Chapter Summary: Abigail finally realized what she had done as a criminal and regretted it. Tadashi spiraled deeper into his hate and thirst for revenge. Hiro and the remaining Big Hero 6 arrive at Akuma Island.
Disclaimer: I don't own Big Hero 6 and its characters.
Back in Akuma Island and down at the teleporter testing lab, Tadashi is now wearing Abigail's large, black trench coat after he ripped it off from her.
"You know, this looked better on me and it fits me more than you," he said, smirking and glancing down at his attire. "I think I'll keep it as a souvenir."
Hanging upside by her leg, Abigail looked to be badly beaten up; her hair is all loose and messy, and she has a cut on her upper lip. She appeared to be in immense pain but she continued to give Tadashi a defiant glare, her lips pulled back in a low snarl. Her weapons have been taken from her too and they were thrown to the floor.
"Don't give me that look," Tadashi said coolly as he pulled her closer to him. "You've done a lot of things to me, and they're worse than what I've just did to you."
Abigail spat at him. Tadashi slowly wiped the saliva from his helmet's visor. The microbots swung her around and threw her against a wall.
The young woman slid to the floor and writhed in agonizing pain. She tried to crawl away but Tadashi sauntered over and stepped in front of her.
"Don't come near me!" Abigail screamed.
"Hey, I'm not giving up on you yet," he said in a dangerous tone. "Besides, you haven't told me why you haven't gone through the portal yet when it's right over there."
"Like I'd throw myself into it blindly," Abigail scoffed, ignoring the sharp pain in her side. "I'm just waiting for the right moment… If you're so eager to see me gone, let me carry out my plan. You won't have to see me and Baymax ever again."
Tadashi narrowed his eyes in suspicions.
"Why would you want to bring Baymax with you?" he inquired. "Is it because he's from the other dimension?"
He looked over to Baymax. He was about to ask for an answer from the robot when he saw all those bulky armor, giving Baymax the look of a dangerous battlebot. It finally came to Tadashi.
"You're not just going to reunite with your dad... You're going to destroy my brother in the dimension where Baymax came from."
"That kid tried to have my father killed," Abigail muttered darkly. "I wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine. Just like…"
"… What I'm doing to you right now," Tadashi finished for her.
Abigail was taken aback. Realization struck her and she discovered she and Tadashi are not so different after all…
Tadashi felt his blood heating up from rage, but his face remained tranquil.
"Like I'm going to let you harm my brother once more," he said darkly.
He raised a hand and his microbots crawled over to the portal.
"No! Don't!" Abigail shouted.
"Tadashi, stop!" Krei screamed in terror. "You can't destroy it that way! You might create a vacuum that'll suck everything in!"
Tadashi ignored them and the microbots pulled the portal apart, breaking it in half. The vortex immediately disappeared and the pieces fell to the lower sections.
Krei sighed with relief but Abigail was infuriated. She tried to tackle Tadashi but the microbots held her back.
"How could you?!" she shouted into his face. "That was my last chance to see my father again!"
"Well, I wanted to see Hiro again…" Tadashi replied darkly. "But that would never happen."
He was about to strike Abigail when he felt a heavy weight on his shoulder. He looked up to see Baymax holding him back.
"That is enough, Tadashi," Baymax said. "You are emotionally distressed and reacting impulsively. It is hazardous to your health."
Tadashi frowned and shrugged off Baymax's hand. "You're not MY Baymax, you're not even carrying his nursechip inside you."
"You are still my creator," Baymax said. Tadashi noticed a mixture of sadness and disappointment in the robot's voice but he ignored it. "Hiro gave up trying to terminate Callaghan because of you…"
"He did what?!" Tadashi shouted.
Abigail was surprised at these words too. She then realized she had not seen the rest of the footage from Baymax's film projector. She only stopped after watching the part Hiro gave an order to have her father killed.
"T-Tadashi, just leave her alone!" Krei pleaded, interrupting the conversation. He struggled to remove himself from iron rods holding him up. "Can't you see she has enough?!"
"Be quiet!" Tadashi snapped. "Why do you care so much about her anyway? You only cared about making a profit by cutting corners and ignoring sound science!"
"You're still bitter about that day of the showcase?" Krei demanded, raising an eyebrow. "I told you, I just forgot I had the microbot on me!"
"No… you took it because my brother refused your offer."
"He wouldn't if your professor didn't influence his choice," said the CEO. "Callaghan would do anything to turn people against me, and it's because he's a bitter old man who refused to accept the past and move on."
"Don't talk about my father that way," Abigail growled.
"Abigail," Krei began. "Please understand this… if your father really loved you that much, he wouldn't isolate you from everyone else. Abigail, be honest with yourself… Do you actually think the portal will take you to the dimension where Callaghan is alive? It might not even work and you'll get lost in there again. And there's a chance you won't be rescued next time."
Abigail's jaw dropped in shock. She was so obsessed with her plan that she didn't think of that possibility.
Krei continued, "And even if you did went into the dimension where your father is alive… he might not be the same man you once knew, and he would never accept you the way you are now."
Abigail fell silent but something about his words ring some sort of truth in it.
"Yes, Miss Abigail," Baymax spoke up. "When Hiro and I confronted Callaghan, he was not interested saving you from the portal because he assumed you perished. He only cared about terminating Krei and no one else."
"Your father loved you, Abby..." Krei commented. "But he didn't love you enough to honor you."
Abigail slowly remembered the times her father coldly neglected her and gave up getting help for her, so he could just leave her stuck hopeless in a wheelchair… He gave up on her.
"I don't care your daddy issues," Tadashi sneered.
He was about to go after her again when Baymax held his arm tight, stopping him.
"Tadashi, no," Baymax said.
The inventor was briefly reminded of the night Hiro tried to stop him from going inside the burning exhibition hall to save Callaghan…
"Let me go, Baymax," Tadashi ordered quietly.
"Will terminating Abigail improve your emotional state?" Baymax asked.
"Maybe it will!"
"Is this what Hiro would have wanted?"
"Don't you do this to me!" Tadashi struggled to pull his arm away from Baymax's grip. "I don't know what Hiro would think—he's… he's gone!"
"Hiro is never gone-"
"Well, why don't you bring him to me then?!" Tadashi interrupted him. His voice is filled with anguish and fury. "You're his primary caregiver—you should know where he is! You were supposed to help people—that's what I created you for!"
Abigail watched the two of them arguing while she comes up an escape plan.
She quickly decides to use this opportunity to move. She wills up enough strength and got back on her feet. She hurries to her fallen explosives and picks up a couple of bombs. Tadashi sees her and he was about summon a wave of microbots to stop her…
Abigail threw down three smoke bombs. Tadashi was met by a thick cloud of smoke obscuring his vision and it seem to fill up the entire lab.
Krei coughed from the smoke. To his surprise, he was suddenly pulled free and he came face to face with Abigail.
"I'll explain and apologize later," she told him.
Tadashi furiously looked around the thick smoke for Abigail through the smoke; he just had her!
She won't get so far though, not with those injuries, he thought venomously.
Then he heard a familiar rocket sound and Tadashi realized Baymax isn't holding his arm anymore. He looked up and saw Baymax flying overhead, carrying both Abigail and Krei. They're going to escape through the hole in the ceiling.
Tadashi shot out an arm and the microbots quickly grabbed hold of Baymax. The robot tried to fly away but he was then brought down hard, crashing into the lower sections of the lab. Abigail was thrown off and landed several feet away.
She looked up to see Tadashi forming a giant fist made from microbots. Baymax wasted no time shielding Krei from the powerful blow.
The floor underneath them gave away. Abigail watched in horror as the nursebot and the CEO fell into the deep darkness.
"Alistair!" she cried, stricken breathless. She felt like someone just stabbed her lungs.
She then saw Tadashi coming after her again and she made a run for it.
None of them noticed something strange is happening at the moment. Tiny objects lying on the ground began to slowly slide towards the spot where the portal used to stand.
It took the rest of the afternoon for Hiro to study and tune up his friends' weapons in the garage. He couldn't believe Tadashi built them since his brother always had an aversion towards combat, and was even impressed that they were inspired by his scrapped battlebot ideas.
After he was done with the weapons, he decided to make himself his own superhero suit. He printed out carbon-fiber red pads for his knees, arms and shoulders, and a matching red helmet. He looked a little ridiculous with his armor is placed over his normal clothes, but it would have to do on such short notice.
He zipped up his blue hoodie as his eyes scanned around the garage, remembering the days he built the microbots here and hung out with his brother and their friends. It had been so long since he saw Tadashi and, according to Cass and his friends who told him what happened during the weeks Hiro was gone, his brother went through some drastic changes, some which doesn't sound good…
His eyes landed on green object lying in the garbage can near his computer. He recognized it as Baymax's nurse chip and the surface looked burnt and a thin crack broke across the tag which had Tadashi's name on it.
"Why was this in the trash?" he asked after he picked it up. "This is a crucial part for Tadashi's robotics project."
"Tadashi… didn't want anything to do with it after what happened to Baymax," Fred replied sadly. "Well, his own Baymax, not the other one. He said it was so damaged, it probably wouldn't work anymore."
Hiro became quiet for a moment. "Well, I'm bringing this with us," he said as he pocketed the chip. "Besides, it would seem wrong if we don't bring a bit of Baymax along with us."
"I can't believe the police didn't confiscate some of these stuff after they suspected Tadashi being a criminal," Wasabi said, shaking his head. "I guess they're just incompetent sometimes."
He saw Gogo glaring at him a little, and he added quickly, "Except for your sister!"
Hiro quickly finished his own weapon: a pair of electromagnetic gloves that can pull and push away metallic objects. This idea came to him after Abigail often caught him trying to escape many times, and he would have used them to protect himself from the microbots. He felt this is a perfect opportunity to use his new tech, and he won't depend so much on his friends.
He tested his gloves on some scraps of metal lying around. He used one gloved hand to pull them by a magnetic force and another hand to push them away. His aunt and his friends watched his progress, cheering for him.
"Magnets make Freddie happy!" Fred clapped enthusiastically.
Abigail hid behind a large metal pillar in the shadows. She waited to make sure the coast is clear so she could move from her spot. She doesn't want to imagine what would happen if Tadashi found her… She's panting so hard, her chest was heaving and rising in rapid movements. Her legs felt like turning into jelly any time. Paralyzed with fear, she tried to stay calm by pressing her head against the pillar and took deep, slow breathes.
The last time she was this scared, she was trapped alone and awake in her pod while it floated in the beautifully surreal but terrifying portal dimension. She wanted to be rescued so bad that she started crying out for Krei and her father to save her.
"Daddy…" she whimpered.
Heavy tears fell from Abigail's eyes as soon she thought of Baymax and Krei's words about her father earlier. Did her love for him made her overlook his callous behavior towards her pain? She knew her father started that fire to steal a boy's invention but she never saw anything wrong with it. Or maybe she did and refused to believe it. Her stomach became sick but she had to force herself to accept the harsh truth.
What have I done? She thought in anguish. I used and killed my colleagues, my friend Candace, and an innocent boy… I'm no different than my father after all.
She wanted to scream and cry at her stupidity and cruelty, for allowing herself to commit so many horrible actions just for a chance to reunite with her despicable father. Her sorrow came to an abrupt end when she heard the clicking and buzzing sound of the microbots approaching. She wished she picked up more explosives, she's completely defenseless.
Abigail tried to move again but she clutched her side, groaning. She hoped she didn't break a few ribs. Biting down the sharp pain, she staggered away as quickly as she can. She saw the control tower up ahead…
Abigail sneaked inside the control room and locked the door. It won't keep Tadashi out forever. She opened a small door under the desk controls, searching for something. She found several wires and a sign that reads, "DANGER: DO NOT TOUCH."
At that moment, the microbots ripped the door off and Tadashi strolled into the room. He smirked when he finally cornered Abigail.
"I told you before, Abigail, I'm not giving up on you," he chuckled darkly. "I want to relish every moment before I finally destroy you for good?"
Abigail stayed in her corner, sitting on the floor and her back against the wall. She isn't terrified anymore.
"Is this the kind of retribution you want to honor Hiro?" she asked quietly. "This won't solve anything…"
"Don't you dare say his name," Tadashi growled. "And did you just get a change of heart? It's kinda little too late for you, isn't it"
"I know, and I regretted for not doing it sooner," Abigail agreed, wheezing. She's so tired, from all the running and scheming for her revenge. It was all pointless for her now. "I was so angry, all I could think of hurting someone…"
Tadashi stared at her.
"Your brother believed you died in the fire and he missed you every day. I understood his pain," she continued, lowering her head. "But I was selfish with my own pain, I was cruel to him. He and I almost became friends…"
"Professor Callaghan told me once that you were a botfighter once, it was all you wanted to do," Tadashi told her. "And so did Hiro except bofighting is illegal."
"Gambling in botfighting is illegal," Abigail corrected him.
Her hands were shaking as she removed one of her gloves.
"I guess we're not so different… But I'm never going to forgive you and what your dad did," Tadashi said.
"I know," the young woman nodded. Her eyes shone brightly, filled with despair. "But I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of letting you kill me. You lunatic."
"Oh?" Tadashi raised an eyebrow. He wondered if she's bluffing.
"By the way," Abigail said. She just remembered something important. "Your friends are probably on their way over to this island. I did kidnapped Alistair right under their noses after all."
"My friends are coming?" Tadashi asked in disbelief.
"I've invited all those people... It's too bad I'll never give them a show."
Abigail's bare hand grabbed the dangerous-looking wires and pulled them.
"NO!" Tadashi screamed.
It was too late to stop her.
Abigail grinned with victory as the electrocution course throughout her body. Tadashi's angry cries echoed inside the room.
The sun soon started to set and everyone went to Fred's estate where Heathcliff is waiting for them with the family helicopter. Krei's secretary decided to remain behind with Aunt Cass but she gave the butler instructions where Akuma Island is located.
Cass kept close to Hiro, trying to cherish any remaining moment left with her nephew.
"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" she asked, nervously running a hand through her hair. "I can't do much with fighting, but…"
Hiro stopped her.
"Aunt Cass," he began softly. He too was afraid that this might be the last time he'll see her, but he made a promise that he would never put her through any more grief ever again. "I'll be home safe."
Cass puts on a brave smile. Before Hiro can join his friends inside the helicopter, he was suddenly pulled into an embrace.
"Last hug," Cass said before she finally let him go. The helicopter left the estate and flew over the city. Hiro sat between Honey and Gogo, staring at his knees in deep thought.
"Killer view," Gogo commented, peering out the window.
Wasabi is frozen in his seat and huge beads of sweat roll down his face.
"Uh, y-yeah," Wasabi gulped, his voice wavering slightly. "If wasn't terrified of heights, I'd probably love this. But I'm terrified of heights, so I don't love this!"
Fred was his usual eager self. "I bet you're wondering about all the superhero stuff we did, Hiro!" he said. "Where did you want to start, how Big Hero 6 started? Our first battle?"
"Actually, I just wanted to know what exactly happened to my brother last night," said Hiro hesitantly. "Aunt Cass told me he ran away from home when the police came to interrogate him… She didn't say how."
"He used your microbots, the ones he got back from Abigail," Honey explained to him. "He had the police chasing him through the city and he escaped into the bay. We tried to stop him, Hiro, but he wouldn't listen…"
"But we'll find him again, right?" Hiro asked.
"Hiro, he changed so much," Gogo said, looking away from him. "It's better this way…"
Suddenly, her visor began blink. As well as Honey and Wasabi's visors.
"What's going on?" Hiro demanded, confused.
"Tadashi's microbot trackers!" Wasabi replied. "We tried using these when we were looking for Abigail, and then Tadashi when he ran off with the microbots last night. He must be close!"
"We're approaching Akuma Island, guys!" Fred announced when he looked out the window.
"Tadashi must be at the island too," Hiro commented. He was now desperate to see him again.
He saw his friends looking at him with solemn expressions.
"Are you sure you want to see him?" Wasabi inquired. "We don't want you to get hurt."
"He's my brother, he would never hurt me," Hiro said. After he and the others stop Abigail, maybe he can find his brother in the island and convince him to come home.
"This isn't fair... This isn't fair..." Tadashi repeated all over under his breath as his microbots lashed out and attacked everything in the lab. He was filled with so much rage since his chance of revenge was robbed from him.
"How dare she! HOW DARE SHE, THAT COWARD!" he screamed.
He fell down onto his knees and clutched his helmet. He wanted to bang his head against the floor in frustration but he didn't want to risk destroying the neurotransmitter. After several minutes in silence, he sat up and inhaled deeply.
Tadashi may not bring justice to his brother's memory, but at least he had a new goal now; with the microbots, he will hunt down every criminal in San Fransokyo and punish them. When he took out those three despicable men in the alley not so long ago, it felt rather good.
"Apprehending these kinds of scum isn't good enough for them," he said out loud. "They should all burn like what happened to Callaghan... And if anyone stops me, then-"
He thought of his friends and he recalled Abigail saying something earlier that they'll be coming to the island. He knew they won't accept or even forgive him once they knew what he's planning, but he doesn't care about what they think anymore. He even remembered their alternate dimensional selves stopping Hiro's revenge on Professor Callaghan in that one recording footage he found.
They never understood him. All they ever did was held him back. He should have never let them help him... And they're the only ones left standing in his way.
Tadashi's heart grew ice cold and he got the microbots to lift him into the air.
"... Then that's their mistake," he finished his sentence.
The helicopter landed on an aircraft field. The gang left Heathcliff and their ride behind as they walk down the trail leading to an entrance of the old facility.
"Guys, this whole place is quarantined," Wasabi said in a trembling voice. He was staring at a sign in a nearby fence.
"Stop whining, woman up," Gogo ignored him.
"But there's a skull face on this one!"
"Ooh, that means death," Fred giggled under his costume.
They found a huge metal door which they couldn't get in. Wasabi stepped up and cut through the door with his laser blades. The team hesitated for a moment, but no one is as nervous as Hiro.
Hiro remembered how he used to hate this place and he's worried that Abigail might be waiting for them, or is watching them at this moment... His hand moves over the pocket of his hoodie jacket and he could feel the outline of Baymax's nursechip. This gave him the courage he needed.
Hiro and the team stuck close together as they moved down a dark hall. Fred is singing his own theme song to raise up everyone's spirits.
"Six intrepid friends led by Fred, their leader Fred," he sang. "Fred's Angels. Uh-uh-Uh. Fred's Angels…"
"Fred, why is it every time we infiltrate some spooky building, you just have to sing something," Wasabi asked in exasperation.
"Clearly, you're not a fan of the classics," Fred mumbled.
"Are you sure you know where you're going, genius?" Gogo asked Hiro.
"I've never been to this part of the facility before," Hiro answered. He didn't realize how huge this building is, and he didn't want the team to get lost or, worse, get caught by Abigail before they could even find her.
"The building seems to interfering with the microbot trackers," Honey said when she tried to adjust her visor. "I can't seem to get a good location."
"Great, it's broken!" Wasabi threw his hands in the air.
"But Tadashi's here," Hiro told them. His heart was pounding with anticipation. He's so close finding his brother…
Without thinking straight, Hiro made an impatient dash down the hall. He ignored his friends shouting after him far behind. He could only think of finding Tadashi.
He came to the end of the hall and opened a door which led to… another hall, though brighter and bigger.
Frustrated and desperate, he screamed out, "Tadashi!"
He ran off again and went around a corner. By the time his friends finally catch up, they already lost him.
"His aunt's gonna kill us," Fred said sheepishly.
"He's going to get himself killed!" Wasabi shouted.
Gogo turn to the others.
"We'll have to split up and look for Hiro," she said. "Wasabi, you come with me. Honey, you and Fred go down that way. If you see Krei, you better bring him to the helicopter."
"Take care, you guys!" Honey said as she and Fred hurried away.
Wasabi began to worry. "Gogo, I have a bad feeling that we might not run into Abigail here…" he commented.
Gogo knew what he was talking about and she shared the same feeling. Knowing what Tadashi might do with the microbots under his control, Gogo hoped that the she and Wasabi will find Abigail before their former friend does.
Unfortunately, the team regrouped without Hiro after they failed to find him in the entire floor.
"Freddie and I checked the cafeteria, but Hiro isn't there," Honey reported. "However, Freddie wanted a quick snack in the kitchen and he did hinder our search."
"I can't do this superhero stuff on an empty snack, Honey Lemon!" Fred whined.
"Well, Gogo and I found this room full of empty trash bins. The whole place was a mess," Wasabi said. "It looked like an aftermath of a fight."
Gogo placed her hands on her hips.
"We'll have to go down further," she said after popping her gum
Somewhere, Hiro came to the lowest level of the facility where a lot of storage crates and boxes are kept. It looked like nobody have came down here for years and there was undisturbed dust everywhere.
Hiro found it hard to breathe in this place, and he was panting from all that running. He cleared his thoughts and realized he made a stupid mistake running off and leaving his friends behind.
"Darn. I got crazy finding Tadashi, I don't even know where to look," he talked to himself as he walked around the room.
He stopped when he saw a giant hole formed in the ceiling. Something huge and heavy must have fallen into the room from a great height. Lying under the hole and covered in debris is a tall, big robot which seemed to be shielding a human figure as though it was protecting it. Hiro recognized the robot.
"Baymax?" he called out and ran over to the robot.
He tried to lift some of the heavy wood off from his friend when Baymax slowly stood up, the debris easily falling off from his body. Hiro saw Krei lying on the floor and he was unharmed.
"Hiro, you're alive," Baymax stated, looking down at his patient. "I thought you didn't survive the explosion. I apologize for attempting to harm you. Abigail had violated my programming."
"N-no, it's okay, buddy!" Hiro shook his head, smiling happily. "I'm just so happy to see your old self again. I thought you'd be a heartless fighting machine forever. Oh! I just remembered..." His hand reached into the pocket of his jacket and pulled out the green nursechip. "Sorry that this is damaged a little, but I think this will work."
Hiro slid the chip inside the port. Baymax immediately accessed his caregiving matrix, as well as new data that intrigued him.
"Hiro, I was informed that you died in the fire," the robot told him, tilting his head in confusion.
"No, I survived. Abigail kidnapped me, remember?" Hiro reminded him.
"I seem to remember all kinds of different memories in my programming," Baymax commented. "I have concerns. For some reason, both you and Tadashi are my primary patients."
The teen laughed and then he remembered his brother. "Baymax, is Tadashi somewhere in the building?" he asked. "I need you to take me to him."
Baymax hesitated.
"I cannot do that. Out of concern for your emotional health."
"Baymax, please," Hiro begged. He was on the verge of breaking down. "You don't know how much I wanted to see my brother again. You wanted to keep me healthy, right? Then do this for me."
Then he heard Krei coughing from the floor.
"Oh, and before that, we'll have to take Krei to safety first. Heathcliff will take care of him."
After much reluctance, the nursebot then allowed Hiro to climb on his back. As much he did not want to do this, he recalled Tadashi demanding him to "bring Hiro to him." Maybe the sight of his little brother alive might improve his emotional and mental health this time.
He could only hope.
"Face it, guys, we're lost," Wasabi grumbled in dismay. He and the rest of the team walked down another hall.
"Hey, I know what can cheer you up," Fred suggested.
"No singing!"
"Hey guys," Honey called out to them after she noticed a door that had been opened ajar. "You might want to see this."
Everyone was on high alert as they entered the testing lab. The place appeared to have been badly damaged. In the other side of the room, a huge circular structure that looked like a was destroyed.
"This must be the lab where Project Silent Sparrow was tested," Gogo said.
Then, Honey said, "Gogo."
The tall girl was pointing to a flickering light. It was coming from the control room in the tower. The team entered into the control room and saw a horrifying sight before them. Abigail is lying on the corner, her face full of burns and minor bruises, and her hair all over her eyes. She appeared to be lifeless and her hand was still clutching the electrical wires.
"Oh no..." Honey gasped. "She's been electric shocked."
"Stay back, guys!" Wasabi shouted as he walked carefully to Abigail's body. "I'll take care of this. Fred, use your communicator to get Heathcliff call for emergency assistance. If he has any AED available in the helicopter, tell him to bring it over as fast as he can."
"On it!" Fred nodded.
Acting quickly and calmly as he can, Wasabi shuts off the electrical current at a nearby circuit breaker and uses his cape to remove the electrical wires from Abigail's hand. He was glad Tadashi made it non-conductive as well as fireproof.
"Abigail, can you hear me?" he gently called out to her as he tapped her shoulders. No response from her.
He quickly checked for her pulse and breathing.
"Is... Is she dead?" Honey asked. She and everyone else stared numbly at Abigail's body.
"I hope not," Wasabi said, shaking his head. He began to administer CPR on the unconscious woman.
"Heathcliff's on his way here with the AED. He's going to fly Abigail to the hospital as fast as he can," Fred said. "This is messed up. I feel like I'm going to be sick..."
Wasabi repeatedly presses down his interlocked hands on her chest multiple times before slowly and firmly breathes down her mouth. He cannot afford to stop to rest until help for Abigail finally arrives.
"I didn't know you could do this," Gogo muttered in awe.
"I've always come prepared, remember?" Wasabi laughed nervously while he continued performing chest compressions.
"What exactly happened to her?" Honey wondered out loud. "And where's Krei and Tadashi?"
Suddenly, a familiar sound drew their attention to the lab. It was the sound of buzzing microbots. Gogo looked out the control room window. Tadashi wearing a black trench coat came into view and he was standing on a platform of microbots.
They watched Tadashi raise his arm and the microbots hurled a chunk of debris at the control tower.
Tadashi smirked as he watched the debris smashed into the tower's base and leveled the entire structure. It was so easy, he couldn't believe they easily got themselves killed. Yet, he felt his heart pained with a tiny amount of regret.
They were his closest friends and he killed them in cold blood.
He squeezed the tears out from his eyes. "What's done is done," he told himself. "I can't go back anymore."
Tadashi tried to force all those good memories he shared with his friends out his mind; all those weeks where the group used hang out in Aunt Cass' garage, from just enjoying a pizza party with Hiro to Tadashi building all the weapons and suits for his friends to catch Abigail. Those days seemed so far away like a distant dream, and a part of him wished he could go back to that normal life again...
His hand touched his helmet where his lips supposed to be. He could still remember how warm Gogo's lips were on him...
Tadashi sighed and turned away from the rubble of what's left of the control tower. One day, he will forget all of this. He was ready to command the microbots to raise him up through the hole in the lab's ceiling when Baymax flew into room from the huge hole on the floor (where he fell through with Krei earlier) in full force. Baymax then landed on his feet nearby, standing in front view of Tadashi. The inventor was annoyed to see the robot still around.
"So, you came back to stop me?" he shouted. "Have a taste of this, big guy!"
He angrily sent a stream of microbots at Baymax. Hiro suddenly popped out from Baymax's back and hold out his hand.
"TADASHI, WAIT!" he cried.
Hiro's electromagnetic glove pushed the microbots back in full blast. The force knocked Tadashi back and sent him tumbling down. His helmet flew off and all the microbots instantly fell down.
Tadashi sat up, rubbing his sore head. He did not know what just happened, it came too fast for him to react. For one moment, he thought he heard his brother's voice.
He looked up and his eyes grew wide in disbelief.
He saw his brother.
Alive and in the flesh.
"... Hiro?" he called out. He was feeling a mixture of confusion and shock.
Hiro jumped down from Baymax's back and ran towards him, almost tripping in his excitement. His eyes were filled with jubilant tears.
"Tadashi!" he cried. He removed his helmet so his brother could recognize his face better.
Hiro threw himself into Tadashi, burying his face into his brother's shoulder and squeezed him into a hug. Heavy tears roll down his face and they began to soak Tadashi's coat. Tadashi did not return the hug. His mind was stuck in a daze and he could only stare into nothingness.
