A few days after the war against chaos, something stirred in the cosmos once more. What was a mystery prior, is soon to be relieved as a particular boy and his band if misfits get swept up into the on going battle between Light, Dark and the Truth. New bonds will be forged, and older ones will be stronger than before as the conflict takes a turn

15. The Atrocious Kaiju

During the latter half of the day, Hiro's luck with his nano-suit taken a turn for the worse with his enhanced strength causing more trouble than it's worth. Between moments where he ripped a class door open and where even a slight nudge causes a seat to be sent flying. Nearly hitting a particular college girl, who has tan skin, brown hair tied into a pony tail and a cream colored cloth top. They didn't see that nudge as a slip and thought he intentionally hurled it at the girl, getting him into some serious ordeals with the school.

It even escalated to where squeezing a ketchup bottle, resulted in it bursting broken and getting some splatters on that same girl and getting into more trouble. At that point, he had enough and tried to get it off to no avail. Reaching the point where it was the after hours and he had to hurry along home.

At that same moment.

Ken and Dewott were out by themselves, doing a scouting mission for a particular clue that Audino informed them on. "So we got most of the pokemon around here. Besides that Ditto, we have one more that love sneaking around here, it was seeing coming out of this spot last night with a bag of stuff. A little burglar he is."

Dewott noticed a blue cafe that Ken was pointing at and tapped his leg. (Uh... haven't we been here before?) Ken recognized it and realized. "Shoot, that burglar's been robbing the Cafe! How are we going to tell this to Cass?! She doesn't know what's been going on at all."

The Dewott had an awkward dumbfound expression as light burst from the roof, with Hiro screaming out in pain. Ken gasped and hurried in on an instinct, finding a Baymax out of uniform and showing a pillowy white body, carrying a shocked genius to a table and playing around with the static in the hair. Dewott waddled behind as Ken quickly realize there's a reason for the shock. "There's a bug in that nano-suit or something?"

Hiro was surprised by the arrival and really didn't want his fellow nerd to come any closer. "It's only getting tighter and I can't take it off. Overloading it with a shock doesn't work." Baymax found that a pickle as well. "It appears that the Nano-Dex is reaching past Hiro's threshold of strength. He cannot resume daily activities unless it is removed, currently there is no certain way of loosening it." Ken thought about the options. "That sounds like a pretty dangerous failure, so what can be done to-" He gasped and snapped his fingers. "What if this thing has a limit that we can break? If you're still breathing fine, then I know just the place we can do it!"

Hiro cringed nervous. "But where?! What can actually keep up with this?" Ken point his thumb to a door as Dewott went over to a counter and called to a calico cat that was lazing around. "We know a guy, a pretty promising martial artist that just came by to town with his students. He's got to have the muscle to keep up with that."

Hiro knew what Ken really said. "One of those guys can really do that?" Ken shrugged. "It's the only good shot we got, it's right across the street if you make a right, turn left and then go right at the two turns. I'll be right behind you as soon as I tell your Aunt about a burglar activity she doesn't know about." Hiro blinked and thought about it. "Cass was talking about a few items being missing when it was closing time." That eliminated one of the stolen goods from the list from Ken's list. "Our burglar's going after the food? Definitely sounds like a you know what. You and Baymax might want to head out as soon as you can, okay?"

Hiro and Baymax were on the leave, the cat and the otter were having a strange stare down as a brown haired woman arrived with a coffee pot for a customer. A strange black haired man with a red stripe on his head. Ken brought out his note book and finished logging a clue down, having an instinctual feeling that he and his partner were being watched. Cass had the moment to go over to Ken and his companion. "Ken, I didn't know you were back in town. What's the occasion?"

The one armed boy finished drawing a question mark and put the note book away. "Business," He called to his partner. "Me and some friends of mine are handling something that might be leading to some odd things in the city. At the least, odder than usual. This is Dewott, one of those somethings from a town over." Dewott waved hello as Ken went to a report. "I've been getting clues about something sneaking around here at night and Hiro's told me about some goods disappearing. What do you know about them?" The cook wondered. "I was trying to figure out what I'm suppose to do with these donuts that have been on the shelf for the whole day, when they disappeared. You're saying I wasn't imagining that?"

Ken shook his head. "Some of us have been thinking it might be a really strange case of a burglar that is looking for free food. Do you believe that's the case?" Dewott looked to the decorations and asked. (Why would that be the only thing he steal?)

Cass answered with concern. "A burglar who would break in for stale... food?" Ken nodded. "Bringing an empty stomach over an empty wallet. Regardless of how that sounds, he's short enough to sneak in without being caught and smart enough to have pulled that off without anyone noticing until it is too late." He pointed a pinkie, knowing most of that would have been impossible otherwise. "If me and some friends of mine, set up a camp for later, do you think we'll be able to talk more about this? It would be easier if we show you."

Cass was realizing Dewott was no coincidence and thought of one better. "I'll save something for the early morning. It looks like you're about to help Hiro with some trouble he got himself in."

Ken considered that. "Early morning it is, Ma'am." He gave a nod and looked over to Dewott. "Then I think we can treat ourselves for the hard work," The otter looked forward to that and jumped in a cheer, Cass looked forward to the group party. "Tell your friends to come by often, I'd like to hear more about where you're from." Ken blushed and quickly thought of a particular word before calming down. "That could be a good morning." He pointed to the door with an eraser. "Come on, Dewott! They got to be half way there by now!" The partner followed pretty eagerly for the next misadventure.

Over at the Hideout.

Hiro and Baymax were before what seemed to be a run down, abandoned building that had what looked to be a giant bird perching on top. Baymax saw the bird most sharp and waved. "Hello," The bird reflected a gleam and stepped back to perch, Hiro was taken by surprise at Ken and Dewott's arrival from the shadows. Ken looked up to the bird and signaled that the two were invited. "Alright, we got an early morning to catch our burglar. But first things first." He opened the door for the two. "Come on in, it looks a lot better on the inside."

Hiro took the offer, thinking none of it and stepped into what might as well be an entirely different world. The insides of a dojo, with a variety of strange creatures, including the Emboar from earlier and the rumored Hariyama that resembled the trench coat from the morning. Hitmonlee and Chan were having a practice match with Pawmo while Hayner was cheering with Poliwag. Most of the others and their partners were having an adrenaline rush from watching as Emboar turned and gave a grunt.

(Heya!) B

aymax waved. "Hello again, Emboar."

Hiro was looking more nervous while a Hariyama noticed the arrivals and approached, very clearly towering over him. Ken gestured to him. "This is the guy I mentioned! Hiro, this is Hariyama. The Sensei of this dojo. Hariyama, this is Hiro Hamada. The Big Brains of Big Hero 6." The Hariyama offered a high five that Hiro was afraid of giving.

Pence saw the hesitation and asked. "That suit finally showed a bug?" Hiro blushed in shame as Ken nodded. "Yep, it's getting too strong for him to handle and it won't come off without enough pressure. If Hariyama has trained these three" He pointed over to Chan, Lee and an eager Top. "then he has to have the kind of force we need to get that latex off of him."

Emboar huhed. (That power's too much for him?) Bayamax confirmed. "Affirmative, perhaps if we push it to the limit, it would malfunction and loosen." The fire boar kept watch, crossed his arms and gave a thumbs up. (Let me know if Sensei isn't enough. I can give this a go!) Hariyama waved to his fellow fighter. (Appreciated, but it won't be needed.)

The Hitmons cut their sparing game and went out of the way with the Pawmo, making room for the sparing match of the day. The Sensei went to the other end and turned, raising his two hands to the side in a graceful battle pose. Hiro is regretting some of his life choices as he took off his jacket and shirt. "Ken, are you sure this is going to work? Do you know more about this guy?"

The one armed boy answered with a serious air. "Only enough that we'd be cool with sharing this apartment with him and his students. Now, do you know a few fighting tricks? The goal is to make sure that both you and Hariyama are able to overwhelm the suit."

Hiro knew a few moves and approached as Hariyama brought out a burning orb, lifted his left leg high and gave a stomp that shook the ground. The Sensei laughed like he had a lesson to teach. (You've taken a power that your small frame is not meant to wield. Let us see how that fairs against a strength that was honed, better prepared to reach beyond the limit!) Hiro braced for the match as Baymax shined the image of a gong, waited a few seconds and rang it. Emboar called firmly. (Begin!)

At that, Hariyama rushed to Hiro in high speeds and caused him to shield himself for the worst, only to find the wrestler stopping and wait for an opening before giving a fake out clap and jumping back. Hariyama had a flame course through his body and delivered a punch as fast as a bullet, Hiro side stepped and delivered a spun kick that sent the Sensei rolling to a wall. The Hariyama caught himself with a foot and pushed back to a stand, giving some hope that this is the first who has taken a blow from the Nano-Suit and had more stamina to spare. Hariyama rushed after Hiro once more and delivered a thousand giant land slaps of close combat, the boy blocked the blows frantically and was shoved fast once his guard was broken.

Hiro ducked a slap and gave a punch that sent Hariyama a foot back, the arm thrust countered with a bullet punch that sent the boy to a wall. The wrestler gave a charge, Hiro pushed out and side stepped to the right to deliver a knife hand. Hariyama took the blow with his right hand and used his left to declare. (Knock off!)

Slap!

Hiro was nearly smacked to the ground and rolled to get back on his feet. The boy went for a fast combo that made the wrestler hmph and step back in a dodge, forcing the Hariyama to use his hands to block. Hiro was getting into a combo and the wrestler gave a fast bullet punch to push him back and commit to close combat once more. The suit begun to beep as the boy gave a fat kick that sent Hariyama rolling, the two clashed fist to hand as the suit begun beeping more rapidly. They stepped back as Hiro's suit had lines turn off, Hariyama raised his hand to deliver a knock off slap, sending Hiro to the ground and causing the nano suit to deflate. The match, was over, Hiro stood up and looked to the broken gear. "Ah man! This was getting good."

Baymax rang a gong to signal a finished match as Ken didn't hesitate to help Hiro get that suit off, with the thing tossed to the side and the boy genius having a well earned sweat, the Hariyama asked in confusion. (Would you mind telling me what possessed you to put that on in the first place? Was it so drastic that I was required to remove it?)

Emboar felt he seen enough and grunted. (If it wasn't, then any of us could have broken it with some muscle work.) Olette snapped her fingers to a realization and asked the boy genius. "Hiro, did someone get under your skin, just cause you're the brains?" Hiro scratched the back of his head and admitted. "Yeeeee...yes." Pence raised a brow. "And how long ago, was that?"

Baymax gave an estimate and readied a video. "Last night after we've failed to stop a super villain, Globby, from robbing a bank." The video played of a human shaped, green eyed, pink blob that was slinging his hand somewhere for a getaway. "It's a good thing you got friends with fire power kid, cause you're useless without them!"

That sank a sting to the Twilight Town Trio and Hayner smacked himself on the face. "Well it's no wonder you built that over night!" The Hariyama grunted and raised two fingers to narrow his vision, focusing on the suit as an example. (When you seize for the prize before you,) He shifted his eyes left and right. (without looking both ways, you will find that you walk straight into a trap before you notice.) He gave a clap of no escape. (Taking it slowly, will give you time to see every choice that you have before you, before you bind yourself to something you won't fight your way out of.) Hitmontop jumped at a lesson he agreed with. (If you rush one thing, you will falter on a balance and fail on your goal.) He flipped upside down as a top and kept himself in a balance. (Find what you have with you and keep it all in that balance.)

Hiro realized he was being lectured as Xion gave him his clothes. "So forget about what Globby said. You normally know your machines, in and out. Fight with what you are good at and adapt to that." She looked to Ken, who learned that lesson under a guiding hand.

The one armed closed his left eye and aimed a finger like one a gun. "A well timed word, can make an smart alec fumble hard. A weak spot that you've been able to notice, can win fights." He thought of a way a mission control could do more in a fight. "If you'd like, we can help you build a wrist gun or something. Once you make an opening, the others can use it to win a fight easily."

That idea was quite tempting, the boy genius waved his hand to the side. "That won't be needed. I guess I shouldn't have overcompensated for something I'm not." He looked around the dojo and is more impressed. "What did you do to this place? It's been abandoned for a month."

Xion smirked. "Bryn did most of the work and turned herself into a hideout." Hayner whispered loudly. "Don't tell anyone that this is a hideout."

That earned a laugh as Ken gestured to the stairs. "If you like, check out the upper floors. There's even a forge room for a few projects of ours and higher is our watch bird." Xion explained awkwardly. "He's a Skarmory, we call him Razor Talon ."

Hiro rubbed his hands in glee as Ken confiscated the nano suit and gave Hariyama a respectful bow. The boy genius turned to the wrestle and gave a bow of gratitude. "Thank you for knocking that off. Is there anything we can do to pay ya back?"

Hariyama thought about it. (Now that you've asked.) He clapped to an idea. (We'd like to know the best grocery store we can find in these lands!) He felt peckish at a plan. (I know a soup that sounds really good today!)

The Hitmons know what that is and were getting excited over that as Hiro realize those three are the wrestlers students. "Say, have you caught these guys yet?" The group had a collective no and Ken closed his eyes with disappointment. "They're too tough for our pokemon right now, this was what we've been wanting your help on as well. We need a training course for when we don't have any monsters, crooks or Pokemon to fight. Do you have the program available for trainees?" Hiro perked to a genius idea. "No, but I know one that we can use."

Evening.

The five explorers were heading over to a dock, partaking in an obstacle course against a virtual foe. Each one wearing a visor like device over their eyes as a way to see a variety of virtual heartless. Ken's was black with highlights of yellow, Xion's had highlights of white. Hayner's was green, Pence's was red and Olette's was yellow. The virtual foes sprang out on turrets and begun to fire, Hayner took a step to the side and ordered. "Amphib, fire back with bubble beam!"

The Poliwag that waddled behind, leaped and fired a steam of bubbles at the foe, Pence followed with his Silicobra. "Minimize and get close enough for a bulldoze!" The snake deflated and shrank before slithering in between the three way cluster of cannons and let loose a shock wave that sent the three in a tilt. Olette barked fast. "Yeaster, get at that back one with play rough!"

The Fidough leaped for rough play as Xion lunged to the front one with a cleave and had Nymble leap for a u-turn kick, the two back flipped to avoid retaliating shots as Ken charged after the least injured foe and gave fast slashes while Dewott gave the other a finishing blow of razor shell. Ken took a step back and side stepped from a shot before he and his partner gave a wind slash to finish it off. At the corner of their visors, they found Hiro at a dock, giving fast instructions. "Alright, now head over to the dock and finish the obstacle course. Good luck!"

The trio sent out Pawmo, Greavard and Skiploom as Xion tossed a net ball and let out her Tauros. "Come on, let's charge our targets!"

Pop!

The bull wasn't seeing anything in particular besides some disks as the girl and Nymble jumped on his back and aimed forward. "Follow my direction and don't stop!" Ken looked to his back and smiled to a Pawniard holding on. "Now we got something deadly!" Fling! "Cyclizar, with me!"

Out came a lizard that was taken aback by the city sky, Ken and Dewott sprinted towards him and charged. The Tauros watched Cyclizar sprint after them and considered that competition, giving a mighty moo as the visor wearers guided them to a spiriting cluster of shadows and large bodies. Xion and the Tauros rushed through the first of the virtual bulks as Ken and Dewott slashed into another, "Cyclizar, spin into the center and use breaking swipe!" The lizard rolled to his side and spin to resemble a tire, going ever faster and disrupting the movement of the foes before giving a swipe that sent the foes flying.

Ken ordered and pointed to the most distant large body. "Pawniard, pounce that one!" The sharp blade leaped over the boys head and pounced far after the heartless, getting to it's forehead and giving a sharp clawing. The foe tried to get the sharp blade off as Pawmo hurried for a mach punch and followed with an arm thrust combo as Skiploom pounced on a shadow and scattered a stun spore for paralysis. A shadow sucker punched a foe and the Skiploom had a glow, switching places with a Greavard and digging to dodge a pounce.

Skiploom rushed into the cluster in acrobatics and took out a shadow as the Tauros go in for a double kick and gave the Silicobra time to leap to the center and give a bull doze shock wave. Xion conjured a butterfly swarm to heal the damage and pointed at the left. "Come on, it's a few turns away!" Burst!

Greavard emerged rather far away and kept a lead as the band raced a few turns and found hoops right over a finish line at the pier. Ken and his misfits timed a leap over the hoops and got to the finish line first, then Xion, who used Tauros's speed to fling Nymble and herself over. The others made it at their pace and Hayner crouched with Pawmo. "Huff! B...Big work out!" Ken spun Nightsky and had it disappear into stars. "But nice low ground!"

Hiro and the present band were impressed at the foot work. The boy genius cheered as the Guardians approached. "Nice work guys!" Xion regained her breath. "It got fast once the target dummies showed up." Pawmo was worked up from another round of exercise as Hayner asked. "So, why did we have to come all the way here?"

Hiro put his hands in his pocket and answered in a cool aura. "Fred said he has a surprise for us, it shouldn't be too strange." Gogo gave the boy a look of doubt, after everything that transpired today, she was done with being surprised. Hiro corrected himself. "Or... we'd be use to it."

Ken blew out with what he knows. "Our guys got something to fight, Hayner and Pawmo had been making laps all afternoon and if we keep it up some more, we'd be ready for the Hitmons by the marrow." Olette clapped in excitement. "And to think, one of us is going to be that far ahead of us by the end of the night." Hayner blushed and rubbed his nose. "Heh! I'm thinking if Pawmo and I can get over this hurdle, then Amphib and the others will be able set for catching up."

At that, something stirred in the water, the band turned to see a great tail fin splashing out of the water, heralding a Gyarados emerging to show off a blue harness with a glass dome that had strange baubles. The atrocious pokemon gave a great roar to show off and lowered his head, letting the glass open and reveal Fred in his monster outfit and on a set of controllers. "Tada!"

That was beyond the strangest thing they've seen, Honey Lemon asked confused. "Fred?" Wasabi was deciding on whether or not he should be terrified and asked. "What did you do to him?"

Fred answered and show cased the giant saddle. "Oh, I paid for a Ride Saddle fit for this guy. He's the ultimate Ride Pokemon!" Wasabi connected that part. "Oh, well" and freaked out. "Why did you make him into that?"

Fred was getting more excited. "He's got everything! He can fly, swim and smash boulders like a Kaiju." He admitted. "I wanted to had a life sized Kaiju of my own, but I ended up ordering one that was pretty small." The Gyarados snorted out water. (I'd been thinking that this gig could work for my size.) Nymble nodded in agreement. (With a guide, you'd be formidable compared to any wild Gyarados.) The Atrocious Pokemon hoped so and lifted his head up as a way to show off his size. (I mean, look at me! Any bad guy that sees this would be running and giving up their fight. I haven't heard of anyone else getting dumb ideas, so I'm hoping this would get some se-) PEW!

In a sudden, a laser shot at the side of Gyarados and gave a burn, making him cringe and howl. "RWAW!" He and the band turned to find that Burger Boy with glowing red eyes. "Hello and how are you?"

PEW! PEW!

Gyarados was shot more and he backed up in a snarl, he roared as a warning as Fred held on. "Woah! Laser eyes? That's new." He thought out loud. "It's probably like a fire type move if Gyarados is just getting mad at it." The Gyarados thought about it and only really felt a sting, he readied for that order as the Burger Boy sprang to the saddle and shoved Fred off. Baymax went to catch the costumed nerd as the Burger Boy pressed a button. "Thank you for this great machine!"

The dome closed and the baubles sprang out as Vikavolt came zipping from above and is giving a sharp crackle. (You better turn that glass up and you better be getting off of that, I kid you not!)

Gyarados agreed with that and gave a sharp thrashing, the Burger Boy held on. "Woah, woah! No rough housing while the passenger is on board!"

He had a grip and flipped his lid up, pulling out a capsule and tossing it to the base. It sprang suction cups and brought out a sonar like device that was attached to a button. With a press, the sonar let out a distinct noise that is silent to human ears, but was noticeable to the pokemon. It was enough that it caused Gyarados to quickly grow irritated and make him thrash harder to get the harness off, the Burger Boy gave a stir and demanded. "Gidyup partner! We got some anarchy to cause!"

That brought Fred into bringing out the net ball on the first instinct and try to call the serpent back, nothing was happening. The Gyarados saw that and smashed against a steel crate, Vikavolt fired a thunder bolt at the cock pit and the baubles drew lightning away from the Burger Boy. The Gyarados didn't like the feeling and flew off to try and take matters on it's own head. All the way to the city, Honey Lemon cringed. "He's going to try to knock that off, we got to go help him before he breaks something!"

Hiro readied a phone to call upon a set of drop pods and asked Fred. "What did you put in that cock pit? Those look like lightning rods." Fred had a list. "Lightning rods to cover for Gyarados's biggest weakness and some controllers to steer him in sync."

Pawmo and Vikavolt gasped, the stag beetle crackled urgently. (That explains why I went off mark, we can't do a lot if we need to push back against Gyarados!) Ken and Xion got on their steeds, the one armed boy could tell by the noise. "And that signal is jamming our balls. We just got to break into that cock pit, get rid of that robot and smash that thing up. Then we can get Gyarados to calm down."

Baymax had a fast analysis. "It also appears that radio signal is emitting a noise that a human is incapable of hearing. It also heightens agitation upon those like Gyarados. The longer those waves are transmitted, the more aggressive Gyarados would become." Xion cringed. "Erk! That's going to get real bad, real fast!"

Ken agreed. "Worst case scenario, we'll have to knock Gyarados out as soon as the harness is offline. We'll keep him busy while you all get ready!" He asked the Twilight Town Trio. "You all and Vikavolt should try and focus on laying out an ambush, that's our best chance." The trio and their partners found that a valuable plan as Vikavolt readied to buzz off. (And I'll go get Emboar for some heavy weight!)

ZIP!

He flew off fast as the riders readied their pokemon and took off on Gyarados's trial.

Out in the City.

Gyarados was flying over, to find a building or street sturdy enough to smash the harness off, between the radio signal, the Burger Boy singing something obnoxious and the people seeing a flying sea serpent about to go on a rampage, he couldn't hear himself think. He roared and smashed at a building with all his might, failing to really get the harness loose while the Burger Boy took out a chip with spider legs and planted it on the controllers. The harness jerked Gyarados over to a crowd of people and directed his frustration to a pavement to use, he roared to try and scare the humans away from his charge, only to find some too terrified to even run.

RUSH! SMASH!

In a sudden, a fiery Emboar rushed in between two cars and gave a charge at the dome, causing Gyarados to jerk upward from the force and making him flip in the air. The Emboar flexed forward and grunted. "That's not going to work, just stay put and we'll get that off of you!"

The Gyarados enveloped in water and rushed back at the Emboar, either as a state of rage of desperation. The boar withstood the less than experienced blow and was sent on a roll, the Gyarados halted and felt someone climbing up his back fins, a fast moving Xion that was about to fling herself at the glass. Tauros intercepted and gave an intimidating moo as Ken, a hand holding Dewott and a back climbing Pawniard appeared from the shadows. Ken hurled the Pawniard at the glass. "Head first metal claw!"

The sharp blade punctured the glass with little problems, saw only a device in the cock pit and let himself drop as Ken and Dewott cleaved into the puncture markings. Xion and Nymble rushed at the cracks to get themselves in and found no one inside. The girl looked around. "Hey, where did he-" She noticed on a building, that Burger Boy waving before turning his body around, along with his head, jumping out of site.

The sonar gave a high pitch noise that hurt the ear drums of the girl, grasshopper and especially the Gyarados that felt fighting above. Xion had a moment to see a chip like device, clinging to the controllers and glowing the face of a one eyed oni. Gyarados thrashed and threw Xion off. Ken hurried to catch her as Vikavolt zipped around the lot and intercepted the Gyarados. Hearing the sharp noise and using a bug buzz to counter it, keeping the atrocious pokemon distracted. The Band of Hero 6 arrived and Fred went to a road way that Gyarados was being directed to. The nerd in the monster costume breathed out a frigid ice cloud that caused Gyarados to halt, the sonar changed a frequency and the serpent howled before following his tail, as the super heroes intercepted, they were swept away by a twister.

Fling!

Wasabi caught his landing and couldn't believe the move. "Ah man, is this dude making tornadoes now?" Cars and trucks were sent flying as Gogo made a dash to a building and used her wheels to ascend upward and to the side, she saw the giant crack and made a leap for it. Gyarados was forced to turn and readied an ice fang to chomp on the girl and send her flying towards the debris, Honey Lemon used her chemicals to let loose an ice barrier to block away the twister. Gyarados used that barrier as a means to smash at his sonar and Wasabi used the chance to fire plasma shots at the glass, getting some cuts in. Baymax flew right at the Gyarados's jaws and held them in position as Hiro jumped off and tried to climb on the opening behind the dome.

Ken and Xion felt their eyes adjusting and saw a pack of a band of cybernetic, heartless knights appear to surround the group. Ken sprouted his wings and cursed. "Crud, these guys are here!" Xion called to her Tauros to give a charge on one quarter and asked. "Ken, you need to get back on that thing and help Hiro! We'll handle this!"

Ken was on it and saw Pawniard was getting surrounded. "Cyclizar, help Xion and use breaking swipe and rapid spin as much as you can!" The Cyclizar was on it for that first move as Ken picked up Dewott and pounced upon the Cyber Soldiers, getting around Pawniard and keeping him protected. "Get on!"

The blade leaped on the blade and hurried to the back as five of the Cyber Soldiers leaped with rocket boots and fired tiny missiles. Ken flew up to the sky and hurried to the Gyarados as Xion, Gogo and Fred had their focus on the upgraded foes. Vikavolt and Emboar saw the fight in the street and charged, with a mighty thunder bolt and heat crash to disrupt.

Burst!

A Silicobra joined in the brawl with a bull doze as a Skiploom flew by, carrying a Fidough with her. A Poliwag and Pawmo joined in with an bubble beam twirl and a reckless arm thrust. The Twilight Town trio hid behind a mail box and gave Cyclizar something to spin towards once he noticed, if to keep guard.

Gyarados's icy bite proved much for Baymax and he sent him flying while Hiro grabbed onto a back fin, Ken leaped by him and Dewott rolled to the cockpit, calling to Pawniard to jump onto him. The two hurried to a device making a horrid noise and the boys gave a jump onto the cockpit. Ken channeled magnetism and held onto Hiro. "Everyone, hold on!"

The boy genius saw the chip controlling the cock pit and made a hurry. Seeing the chip having wires into the controllers and called. "Pawniard, I'll need a knife to cut under this!"

Gyarados readied to thrash as something jumped to the back of his head and stomped down, a Fidough. With a Skiploom flying to the cheek and applying a strength sap. It was a shake, but Pawniard hurried as fast as possible and jumped to get a look at the wire. Ken and Dewott flew at the sonar and gave it a series of cuts, hacking it to pieces and causing the noise to go into a static hum. Hiro gave the chip a pull and Pawniard found a section to sever, getting that off and freeing Gyarados from his torment while the boy genius pressed a few buttons to get the lightning rods disabled. The sea serpent thrashed left and right while in a desperate roar, giving Ken a reason to grab Dewott and use his wings to surround Hiro and Pawniard. They found themselves back on the street with a ensuing brawl. The Gyarados shifted his eyes to find the band in a fight and rushed after the heartless as a mighty water fall, washing them away and smashing to a building.

He jerked to try and fling the harness off and roared. (GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! GET ME BACK IN THE BALL! PLEASE!) Emboar punched a heartless away and hurried to get on the serpents back, only to be flung away. Ken tried to think of which to focus on. "What the heck is going on now?"

Hiro thought fast and gasped. "Gyarados is just having it, period! We need to get him to calm down if we're to get that thing off!" Ken cringed and had his focus upon the scattered heartless. "There's only one way to do that for a Gyarados that's peeved. We need to knock him out!"

At that, the Twilight Town Trio stepped in, Hayner called out. "Don't worry, we got this!"

POP!

More heartless showed up and Xion roared. "Come on, we don't need you getting in our way!" Ken had Cyclizar go after the fresh batch as the trio had their pick of Pawmo, Greavard and the Skiploom that was carrying Fidough off. The Gyarados saw a sparkling Pawmo and rushed after him, Pence ordered. "Ally switch!" PEW! The Greavard switched places and took a water fall as Hayner ordered. "Now give him a strong nuzzle!" Pawmo rushed for a sharp electrical tackle as Olette asked. "Flutter, help out with acrobatics!"

SWOOP! Bash!

Gyarados was paralyzed and in a daze, he spent his time trying to shake the harness off and was given a nuzzle acrobatic combo that sent him falling to the side. A strap was at his chin and Vikavolt swooped to bite at it, severing it loose and causing the device to fall off as the heartless brawl was reaching the end. The bug cringed. (Sorry it had to come to this.) The Gyarados curled, not sure of what to even say. Fred cringed at something he helped escalate and called Gyarados back. Pawmo phewed and felt himself in a glow, growing even taller and having a longer tail, more wild hair on his head and some around his neck.

Pew!

Evolving into a rather tall marmot with his dark orange color returning and palms glowing blue. He was still horrified at the aftermath and said something Hayner agreed with. "Yeah, celebrating can wait." He approached the team leaders and asked. "Who was that robot and how was he able to cause all that?"

Hiro recalled. "That robot was a mascot of the Noodle Burger, it disappeared a while ago and I'm thinking I know what happened to him." He showed the chip. "Someone's reprogrammed him." Ken connected a piece of the puzzle. "and made that chip to pilot Gyarados, while that sonar sets him so far on a rampage that he couldn't just stop when he wanted to."

Fred waved a hand. "My bad, who'd thought that was going to happen." Wasabi recalled from the Gyarados's behavior. "The moment that thing was on, nearly everyone." Xion puffed her cheeks. "We shouldn't have rushed his training, just because he was trying. He didn't do anything to deserve this." Hiro thought of more. "Come to think of it, even Globby was acting stranger than usual. He'd said... that to make me doubt myself at a bad time." Olette thought about the clues. "And while we were busy, someone was figuring out how to jam our balls and how to set any Gyarados off. Was there more going on?"

At a secret lair.

Obake and his cohorts were watching the aftermath of the chaos. With Globby looking over to the Burger Boy and whistling. "You know, I'd feel a bit bad for that Gyarados, he was just trying to get that strap off of him."

Pete doesn't feel an ounce a remorse and laughed to a back up plan that went right. "I knew that having someone mix some tech to handle them critters was the right call." He gave Obake where it was due. "So now we got some intel to use on these kids here. How about we get to striking while the iron's hot?" Obake laughed to the screen. "In due time, in due time. I wished to know how intelligent Hiro and his friends are." He was rather impressed by two in particular, unphased by his henchmens concerns.
