To those who wonder, I was really busy yesterday and by the time I got on my computer the last thing I wanted to do was editing this chapter. So, there was one day without a chapter.
Never fear though, because here's some meaty chapter! I really hope you will enjoy it!
Standing on a rooftop with her friends by her side and watching the objective they all had in common made Go-Go feel at home again. Though she still wasn't sure what her current state with Honey was, she didn't pay it much mind. There will be plenty of time to decide where they're standing once this entire break in will end, hopefully successful this time around, and her name will be cleared.
Big Hero 6 watched as the security guard sat in his cab and was focused on the phone that he held in his hand, rather than the open gate before him. Figuring this was the time , Hiro signaled for Honey that this was her time to initiate the plan. The blonde nodded, now wearing regular clothing instead of her suit in order to not look suspicious. Her purse was still around her shoulder, disguised as a regular everyday purse.
After landing behind the building so that the guard won't see her dropping from the sky, Honey ran up to the gate and caught the guard's attention with her loud steps. "Natalia, what's wrong?" He asked upon recognizing Honey. "What are you doing here at this hour?"
"I… forgot something in the lab…" She pretended to catch her breath from running all the way there. "Can I quickly go in and grab it?" Seeing no reason as to why he shouldn't let her in, the guard allowed her entrance. Once inside the factory territory, Honey suddenly fell to the ground, causing the guard to run over and check on her.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"I don't think so…" She replied in pain while grabbing her leg. "I think I twisted my leg. Do you have anything for me in the cab?"
"I think I might have something. Hold on." As the guard ran back to his post, Honey signaled the rest of the team to come in and enter. Hiro and Baymax flew right past the entrance with Go-Go, Fred and Wasabi quickly following them. Once they were all in, the guard seemed to have found what he was looking for. "Hey, I think I found something for…" Before he could have finished what he had to say Honey already had a ball in her hand, which she used in order to freeze the guard in his place and kick him in the head. With the guard down, Honey took over the post and quickly switched back to her Super-Hero suit just in case she will need it.
When the rest of the team reached the building door, Baymax started talking. "I am detecting signs of a human body present around there." He pointed his finger to an area behind the factory building, though still in its territory.
Confused by the observation, Hiro decided to check it out. "You guys head inside and see what you can find. Baymax and I will see what that thing is." He said before the team split up according to his commend.
Baymax continued to fly slightly above the ground with Hiro still on his back, scanning the area in order to find the human body he detected. "There." He suddenly said while pointing in the direction where it was located, picking up some speed in order to get there faster.
Once they landed, Hiro dismounted the robot who pointed to the ground. Hiro feared for what this meant, but he started digging regardless. If there was a human there, he couldn't leave him buried or else he will die. Only problem was, the person he found seemed to be dead for quite some time. "Baymax…?" He asked the robot for some kind of optimism, though his face contained anything but positive feelings about his discovery.
"I am sorry, Hiro." The robot replied. "But this person does not show any signs of life." He said before scanning the body for what caused this person's death and discovering a bullet mark on the guy's forehead. "The cause of death seems to be a gun shot. Estimated time of death is one week ago." Baymax concluded his diagnoses.
The information might have made Hiro realize that there was nothing he could have done right now to save the person who's been dead for that long, but he still felt awful a life was taken away like that, almost like what happened to his brother long ago. "Guys, no pressure or anything, but we found a body." The reveal caused a gasp to be heard from the rest of the team through their ear pieces. "According to Baymax, we missed by about a week."
Hearing the time Hiro mentioned, Honey questioned something that was on her mind. "Hiro, can you tell the color of his hair?" Hiro tried to see if he could tell what the guy's hair color was, reporting to Honey he was most likely a blonde. "Lucas…" She whispered, now knowing for sure that he was gone. Killed.
Sad that Honey seemed to have lost a friend because of this factory, Hiro looked down at Lucas with disappointment with himself for letting this happen. Suddenly, Hiro noticed something else was buried alongside Lucas, a folder it seemed. Reaching in, Hiro grabbed it an read through the files depicting the process of making a pill, the disposed chemicals being dumped into the ocean and the dangerous side effects of the pill.
"Guys, do you copy?" Hiro contacted his friends again. "Looks like I found some evidence somebody tried to get rid of alongside Lucas." He said, trying to lift his teammates' optimism. "Did you find anything?"
"I'm at the CEO office." Go-Go informed as she opened the door. "Now to find his laptop…"
"Fred and I are still looking through some rooms in here." Wasabi informed right as they entered the cleaning room. "Seriously Fred, the cleaning room?" He asked with disbelief that something of importance to their mission will be hidden in there.
"You may never know." Fred replied. "Sometimes evil dudes are hiding their evidence where they think nobody will look." He said while starting to look for something regarding the pill.
Wasabi sighed at his friend's antics, not realizing real life and comic books are different things all together. While crossing his arms and looking around the room they were in, his eyes landed on a box which had a lock on it. Curios, Wasabi headed towards it and found out it's actually locked, which made him a lot more suspicious. "Hey, Fred?" He called his friend in the monster suit, who arrived quickly. "Care to warm this lock up for me?"
Without further questions, Fred used the suit's fire breath in order to melt the lock down a little. Now that the lock was weaker and easier to destroy, Wasabi activated one of his laser blades and cut it down completely. Opening the box, the two friends discovered more files and more documents. They quickly pulled them out and looked them through, reading how not only are the chemicals being dumped into the ocean but how the pill itself could be dangerous to mankind and what may happen to people who will take it.
"Guys, we've got some serious stuff in here." Wasabi said with a shaky voice.
"This Aron guy is apparently skipping phases of development." Fred added. "It says here that the pill at its current state could possibly be dangerous for anyone who takes it. There are files which list stuff I don't even think is legal in San-Fransokyo, or anywhere!"
"Great job, Guys." Hiro told them, him and Baymax now with Honey near the entrance to the factory. "Head out and meet us at the entrance."
"Roger that, Hiro." Wasabi replied as he gathered up everything they found and started running out of the factory.
"See? I told you evil dudes hide these things in the most unlikely place!" Fred told Wasabi as they ran towards the exit, causing Wasabi to roll his eyes knowing Fred won't let him forget this.
"Go-Go, what's your status?" Hiro asked her once he received confirmation Fred and Wasabi are heading out.
"I found the computer." She informed while copying all of the important files into the flash drive Hiro gave her before the mission started. "I'm now copying the files we need. You can contact the police if you want, I'm almost done here." Go-Go said, knowing that the police would take their time to arrive.
"Got it." The young leader confirmed that he heard her.
A minute or two later a message popped up on the laptop screen, informing that all of the copies were completed. After eyeing the laptop without even blinking, Go-Go ejected the flash drive from the side of it and put it in her pocket. "You're not going anywhere this time." Go-Go smirked at the success.
"I wouldn't be this sure." A low voice, followed by the sounds of a door being slammed and a gun being loaded, made itself present in the room. When Go-Go turned her head to see who it was, she was greeted by the same bald, buff, man from the night she was arrested, the CEO that caused all of these problems. "I thought I put you in jail." Aron said with a hint of snarling in his voice, angered to see Go-Go again.
"Your interns have gone rough." Go-Go said in a defensive tone, mocking him for how Lucas, Julieta and Honey turned on him once his real intentions were revealed to them.
"Once I'm done with you, I'll make sure the rest of them will pay as well."
Hiro, Baymax, Wasabi, Fred and Honey were waiting outside for more than a few minutes. The police hadn't arrived yet, but neither did Go-Go and that made them worried. Out of all of them, Honey was the most anxious about her return. She wanted this mission to be over with and for Go-Go to be safe, but right now the final big phase seemed to be in delay. All of the sudden a gun shot was heard, scaring the team.
"Was that a gunshot!?" Wasabi panicked.
"I think it came from the building!" Fred guessed.
"Baymax, what do you pick up on?" Hiro asked for his robotic companion to scan the building.
"I am detecting another sign of life in addition to Go-Go." He said. "It appears to be male."
Before anyone could have made something of the information that Baymax gave them, Honey was already running towards the building when she realized Go-Go was in danger. "Honey!" They all called after her but she didn't stop, not even when another gunshot was heard. She was going to save her best friend even if it will get her killed.
Go-Go dodged the first bullet aimed at her by docking while skating in a different direction from Aron. While he re-load his gun she made sure the drive was safe in her pocket before continuing to dash around the office. Aron aimed at her again but she blocked the next bullet using one of her discs before she threw it at him, hitting his hand and disarming him. When Aron attempted to grab his gun back, Go-Go pushed the large circular table upwards so that it will fall on him and trap him.
With the table falling on top of the CEO, making Aron trapped and disarmed, Go-Go jumped over the table and skated as fast she could past the office door. Aron attempted to grab her leg but she managed to kick it away and escape. Knowing he has to get this girl in order to avoid his secrets being revealed, the CEO managed to push the desk from on top of him. Once free he grabbed his gun and headed after the girl in the yellow armor.
When he was out in the hall, Aron noticed Go-Go taking a right turn. He tried to shot her but due to her distance he completely missed his target while she turned the corner. Knowing very well where she'll end up in after taking that path, Aron took a different turn while running as fast as he could. He couldn't reach Go-Go's speed but he had something she didn't; a good memory of how this building was structured and what led to where. Reaching to another turn, the CEO leaned against the wall with the gun loaded and at the ready. As expected, he heard sounds which resembled someone skating on the floor shortly after taking the position.
Counting the seconds in his head to the point he needed to act in, Aron turned around and shot Go-Go's foot, causing the girl to stop and drop down to the floor due to her injury. "You thought you could have outrun me, stupid girl?" He asked, his voice sounding still as calm as ever though she could have felt a tiny bit of craziness starting to take over. "I'm not surprised you did…." Go-Go quickly reached for a disc to throw at him but Aron shot it out of her hand. "All humans are naturally born stupid which leads them to make stupid mistakes." He said while aiming the gun at Go-Go's head. The girl glared at him for what he has done and for the words he said; he might have brought her down, but she won't go accepting his victory without some sort of a fight.
"I tried to save the human kind by making a pill which will turn them smarter." He continued, the craziness in his voice taking a bit more control. "Not just improve their concentration for a few hours; actually make them smarter for a day and thus all of their stupid deeds will no longer happen." What Aron didn't know was that meanwhile Honey found them in that same spot and was hiding behind him. "There were obstacles; illegal materials, animals being experimented on were killed, people caught on that it might have been dangerous but I didn't give up. I was going to make sure no one will suffer from stupid decisions like my wife did… I was going to fix this society."
Honey picked from around the corner in order to see Aron was really close to Go-Go, who lay on her knees with her hands on the ground, blood dripping from her leg. "I have to say you and your friends' stupidity was the most amusing. Super-Heroes? We are in the real world, kiddo. There are no symbols of hope or saviors who could save the humans. And just like I did with my son, I'm going to show you how I treat those so called "heroes"..." Honey quickly cooked up a ball in her purse.
Go-Go didn't change her expression as she still glared at Aron, even with his gun touching her forehead. "The only hero this world needs is me, when I'll save it from its own stupidity…" He whispered to her. In a quick instinct, Go-Go noticed Honey about to throw a chemical ball at Aron. When her eyes suddenly went wide, it caused him to turn around however; noticing Honey and shooting her hand, causing her to fall down and for the ball that she held to freeze her arm to the floor, trapping her. "Oh Natalia, I was sure you were on my side." He said, now aiming his gun at Honey.
Afraid that he will shoot Honey, Go-Go started to look around her in order to see her disc from before laying a bit further away from her. "Your mother was the one who developed the cure and bought my lies that it's not dangerous so we could go on." As Aron kept talking, Go-Go slowly dragged herself towards the disc. "You also had an influence on my son I noticed; got some of those "hero" vibes in him until he actually dared defying me." When Honey realized that he was talking about Lucas, Go-Go managed to grab hold of her weapon and silently lift it off the ground. "When you see him, tell him that it wasn't personal. I just hate obstacles."
Honey's heart raced when she saw the gun aimed at her. Aron's finger slowly made its way towards the trigger, his expression still as cold as it always was, not caring for anything but his goal.
"Leave my sister alone!" Go-Go suddenly shouted before throwing her disc at Aron, hitting him right in the head and knocking him out of conscious.
With the evil CEO down both Go-Go and Honey were breathing heavily in relief, trying to process that they have gotten out of this. Go-Go tried to stand up but her damaged leg didn't allow her to. Honey managed to make another ball with her free hand and used it to break the icy prison of her other arm. Now free, Honey got up and ran towards Go-Go. "Need some help?" She asked the injured girl, offering her a hand and a hopeful smile. Without any reservations, Go-Go accepted the help as Honey assist her in getting up and carried her towards the exit.
At the gate, the rest of the team was waiting with the police. When the boys saw Go-Go limping and Honey carrying her they quickly ran towards them. "What happened?" Hiro was the first to ask, worried when he saw Go-Go's leg.
"Aron shot me." The injured girl answered, shocking everyone. "Honey saved my life."
"Hey, you saved mine…" The taller girl argued.
Before any other signs of forgiveness could have been shown between the two girls, cops arrived at the scene and aimed her weapons on Go-Go. "Seung Tomago, you're coming back to jail!" They started to scream before Honey interrupted them.
"SHE IS INNOCENT!" The united scream calmed the entire commotion down before Big Hero 6 handed over all of the evidence pointing towards Aron being guilty. "Go-Go was acting in service to the city in order to save it. Aron Fu is the real criminal here and you can see the proofs." Honey quickly stated.
After the police checked the evidence the team found throughout the night, they asked Big Hero 6 if they knew where Aron was, with Honey and Go-Go pointing towards the building. The cops ran in the direction of the entrance before Go-Go stopped them. "When this prick is in jail, could you please look into releasing Keji Iwata? I believe he was working to save a few more prisoners from Aron's hands." The cops nodded and returned to check the building.
Following the cops leaving them outside, Baymax approached Go-Go. "Go-Go, I have detected a serious injury caused to your leg. On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?" He asked.
"I almost forgot…" Go-Go said while looking at her bleeding leg. "I believe it's a six right now." She told Baymax before he began his treatment. Honey helped Go-Go sit on one of the benches nearby, while the robot took the leg in his hand and attempted to fish out the bullet with the medical equipment he was programmed with.
When the bullet was out and the leg was bandaged up, Go-Go started to feel a bit better. "Your leg should be better now. You could resume regular activity, but I would suggest giving it a lot of rest." Baymax informed.
"Thanks, Baymax." Go-Go smiled at the robot for his care while in the background the cops arrested Aron and dragged him towards one of the police cars. When his eyes landed on her face, Go-Go gave him a cocky smirk to let him know that she has beaten him.
"Thanks again, Big Hero 6." One of the cops told the group before leaving with the rest. "Apologies for arresting you, Seung." He added.
"Call me Go-Go." She simply said and the cop took it as an acceptance for the apology.
With the police taking Aron to jail, where he will be for quite some time, the Big Hero 6 team thought that their job was done for tonight. "I don't know how I'm going to wake up tomorrow…" Hiro said with a yawn. "This was a really long night."
"Who cares when we'll wake up? We just saved the entire city from an evil corporation!" Fred declared proudly following their accomplishment.
"Said the guy who doesn't actually study in this school…" Wasabi muttered.
"You guys go sleep…" Go-Go gathered the attention of her teammates. "I'm going to enjoy the fresh air again for a few more minutes." She stated with her usual smirk. When Hiro brought up that Baymax told her to rest, she told him that she's not going to be too active tonight and that she'll have plenty of time to rest when she'll get back home. Knowing that arguing with her is pointless, Hiro didn't even attempt to talk her out of it. "By the way guys," Go-Go said before the team was about to split up. "Thanks for helping me out." She also gave Honey a nod and a soft smile before speeding off.
"Still the same old Go-Go." Wasabi said, earning agreeing nods from everyone.
"See you tomorrow, guys." Hiro said before Baymax took him back home and Fred and Wasabi split up as well.
Honey however had one more thing to take care of. She looked in the direction Go-Go headed towards and followed her.
Oh man, lots of stuff happened here. I'm sorry if the climax felt short, but that's the best I could do with two Super-Heroes against a guy with a gun. I had fun writing it, hope you enjoyed the reading part.
I don't think the part of proving Go-Go is innocent works like that in real life, but who cares? This takes place in a fictional city, I don't think that's that much of a problem.
So, we aren't exactly done yet. We've got one more chapter to go. Hope you're looking forward to it, and I'll talk to you all then! Hope you enjoyed and please review!
