The Texting Games

Disclaimer: I do not own Big Hero Six and I'm not intentionally using a movie plot, title, or anything of the sort. This is for the enjoyment of BH6 fans everywhere and on Tumblr. I also do not own Meet the Robinsons or Bolt. I add these characters for comic relief. Obviously I own no characters in this story.
Setting: A dangerous game that includes the whole campus ends up with students killed, a mystery beginning, and a epic conclusion. This is a universe in which Tadashi lives.
Chapter
The four students followed behind Gaston, pretending that they happened to be going his way all the time. Gaston, naturally, wasn't buying it. He had received the text but didn't bother playing, it was probably a stupid prank. He had to admit, it was funny watching people steal from vending machines. And now he was being stalked by the Four Weirdos he sees in the Science/Robotics lab all the time.
Gaston finally had enough when the two girls also followed him into the restroom. He spun around and yelled while flapping his hands around, "Stop following me! This is just getting weird!" He chased them out then stalked back into the restroom. He locked himself in the stall and heard a guy talking.
"Hey, what are you girls doing in here?" The guy sounded as bewildered as Gaston felt.
Honey Lemon laughed, her voice lilting, "We're following Hiro and Lewis, we didn't mean to come in here. Come on Penny," She left with the little girl and Gaston felt relief. But that meant the two younger weirdos were still in there. No escape for Gaston, he was trapped.
These kids were crazy, when the boys left Gaston left the bathroom only to find himself followed by the school mascot, Tadashi, and a weird little robot. He would never be free from the nerds, never! Gaston fled from them only to find himself followed by the OCD guy and the tiny aggressive one. He forgot her name...Leiko? Mascot called her Gogo.
Gaston fled the bathroom and into the parking lot, the last thing he heard was someone gunning the engine and he was no more.
The nerd squad sat there for a long time in Tadashi's room. The entire group was there and it was difficult to fit that many people.
"Maybe if we hadn't been stalking him..." Hiro started while Penny finished, "Maybe he wouldn't be dead right now."
"I never liked Gaston anyways."
"SHUT UP!"
Lewis rolled his eyes, he felt bad but obviously not bad enough. He crossed his arms over his chest and replied to Penny testily, "Make me, sister."
Penny gave him a fanged smile before Wasabi picked her up, saying, "Relax little Penny. If Lewis wants to be a jerk let Lewis be a jerk. You are not his mommy."
"If I were his mom I would have killed him by now."
Wasabi rolled his eyes to the sky, praying for patience, "Thank goodness you are not his mom."
Tadashi rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Well, we failed. He felt his phone vibrate and he glanced at it at the same time everyone else did. This was probably a challenge.
Upon opening the phone they discovered it was a challenge.
Content:
"Hello students, by now you will have heard about Gaston who has paid the price of failure. Now, here is your next challenge: You need to steal from your local convenience store without being caught. If you are arrested before you leave the store Gaston's price will be placed on you.
Good luck students."
Tadashi and his group exchanged a look, they didn't want to continue. But if they didn't someone would die, would he dare kill off a group of seven people? Yes, he probably would.
Hiro asked, "Which store should we rob?"
"Everyone will probably choose the one at SFIT. We should do one off campus, that way we will be less likely to be caught. We'll split up into small groups again. Penny and Honey Lemon, Hiro and Lewis, Myself and Fred, Wasabi and Gogo. Walle...you can be with Lewis this time."
Penny and Honey Lemon took her convertible, Wasabi and Gogo took his mini-van, Hiro. Lewis and Walle took the bus, Tadashi and Fred walked. If they all arrived different ways it would seem less suspicious when they entered. Baymax was still charging, he had been malfunctioning ever since they started getting texts.
Tadashi had briefly considered that Baymax might be the mysterious torturer, but dismissed it when he realized that the only thing that might be happening is that the guy was using Baymax as a video surveillance system. While that was creepy, it was less creepy then Baymax being behind it.
Tadashi entered the store with caution, Fred right behind him. Fred was uncertain about robbing a store, by the time the entire crew left the store would be down at least $100. He felt bad about that but not bad enough to back out of the challenge.
Walle was easy because he would pretend to break down, Lewis would be fiddling with him while Hiro dropped in enough stuff for the three of them to be covered.
Wasabi and Gogo was a little more difficult, they both had conflicting interests. Wasabi wanted to stay out of jail and Gogo wanted to live. So in the end Gogo stuffed something in Wasabi's pocket so that way he could be spared, the stuff she did for him.
By the time the Nerd team left they had taken a little over $100 in merchandise. Tadashi's guess had been correct, so now he was calculating the entire SFIT, which was between 100,000 and 200,000 dollars. Which is why none of them were surprised when the news aired:
"Today a huge crime spree happened in which several stores near SFIT lost hundreds of dollars in merchandise. Nobody was caught but the police have several suspects, the names are not available at this time."
All the phones buzzed and the kids across campus looked at their phones:
"Congratulations, you have all passed this challenge. Let's get on to the more dangerous ones, shall we? I understand some of you have experience with climbing mountains. Instead of a mountain I expect all of you to climb one of three objects:
1. SFIT building
2. Water Tower
3. Any Skyscraper
Good luck."
"Heeccck no!" Lewis said, his face losing all it's color, "Is he joking? Tell me he's joking." Lewis wasn't really afraid of heights but he was deathly afraid of falling.
"If we don't we'll die."
"If I fall I'll die anyways!"
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"
"CALM DOWN!"
"YOU CALM DOWN!"
Tadashi rubbed the bridge of his nose as the entire team burst into argument, none of them wanted to do this challenge. Fred raised his hand as he waited for someone to call on him, the only one at least attempting to be polite, "Excuse me? Can I talk now?"
When no one listened and they kept arguing Fred stood up on the couch and yelled, "HEY!" Everyone looked at the fan-boy and he said, "The water tower is safer and I think I know where there is one. Oh, I also have cool climbing stuff. We can all help each other, we're still a team. He never said we couldn't help each other."
Lewis glared at Fred, "If I die I'm haunting you."
