Chapter 1 - Beginnings

A/N: Agh super excited for this fanfic! No idea where this'll take me but I really do hope you'll enjoy!

I watched Big Hero 6 about a week ago and totally fell in love!

Gets pretty heated towards end of chapter, so beware. *Beginning is important to understand setting.

I don't own Big Hero 6, or characters

***

Three months since the whole incident. I had already settled down for the most part and life seemed to start coming back together, almost even becoming normal.

But in life, when everything seems to go right, it goes horribly, horribly wrong.

"All done." I say. We're at the university in Tadashi's old workroom, my workroom.

"Thanks! I owe you and Baymax one for sure, Hiro." Honey Lemon says to me.

She had just finished her monthly check up from Baymax.

His arm extends and hands her a lollipop.

"Are you satisfied with your care?" He asks her in his monotone voice.

"I'm satisfied with your service, thank you very much!" She says, as she plucks the orange flavored candy from his soft hand.

He walks to his red charging station and deflates.

I smile.

"Heads!" A voice calls.

I duck and a disc skims over my head, millimeters away from my hair.

"Tell me sooner!" I complain.

The door swings open and GoGo struts in while obnoxiously chewing her gum, as usual.

"Sorry, not sorry. You should be used to this by now. How long has it been? Three months? This is how nerd school works, nerd." She says, smirking.

"Well sorry for not getting used to having my head almost chopped off everyday.." I trail off.

"Whoaa.. Calm down guys." Fred enters the room.

"Having a party without me?" Wasabi enters too.

Big Hero 6, reunited.

"Check this out." Fred says as he unrolls a poster onto my desk.

We all gather around it.

It's a white poster, with a robot on it. The words "32nd Grand Annual Robotic Engineering Competition" are printed across the top.

"All schools welcome, present your best robots.
Let your imagination take you to the top.
$10,000 prize and honorary trophy to the winning school."
Wasabi read in amazement.

"It's finally here."

I look at everyone. Their faces are filled with awe, their eyes lit up with determination.

"What's this thing.. exactly?" I ask, confused. Everyone else seemed to already know what this competition thing was.

They ignored my question.

"What are we going to do this year?" Honey Lemon asks.

"Sanfransokyo University of Robotics better not be there. Hate them." GoGo says.

"Who?" I ask.

I get ignored again as Wasabi says, "We'll crush them this year. "

I'm ignored again. "Definitely." GoGo says as she pops her gum.

"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS EVEN TALKING ABOUT?!" I yell, frustrated.

"Yeah, what are you talking about?" Fred asks.

We all look at him. He was the one that brought this up.

"Ummm, like I brought this poster to show you guys this." He points at the corner of the page. Our eyes follow his finger.

"Okay, okay, see, it's a pizza ad! Super Pizza Speed Delivery! We could definitely order some for dinner, right? It's already 6:30! I'm starving! Partayyy!"

We sigh. Oh, Fred.

"Anywayss.." I say, refocusing on the actual content of the poster, still curious, "What is this?"

"It's a competition, read the words kid." GoGo says.

I roll my eyes.

"He knows how to read, GoGo," Honey Lemon says, "It's a competition we enter every year. Schools from all over Sanfransokyo enter. First it's County, here in Sanfransokyo. Then it's the Regionals, in Tokyofornia. Then the Nationals, Japerica. " She explains.

"So?" I ask. I didn't understand why this competition in particular was so great.

"So," Wasabi takes over, "Like it says on the poster, Jeffrey Marks is going to be there, like he has been for the past four years. As a judge." A smile spreads across his face at the mention of Jeffrey Marks.

"See, I told you. Read the words." GoGo says.

I roll my eyes.

"So?" I ask again, still not getting it. Jeffrey Marks may be one of the best robotic engineers out there, but I don't get why him being a judge at some competition is such a big deal..

"So, Hiro, once we graduate out of here, we'll have a stable job.
Marks always invites the winners of the competition to work at his company, RoboTech Inc. And the money is for the winning team's university." Honey Lemon explains.

I nod thoughtfully. Jeffrey Marks, huh?

"And who are these Sanfransokyo University of Robotics people?" I ask.

"Our biggest rivals." GoGo says, with a hateful tone in her words.

"Rivals?"

"We, SanfransokyoU, are on top... After them. The farthest we've every been is Regionals, but only the first round. The farthest they've been is the finals for Regionals. We're close, but not good enough." Wasabi says.

"What?" I ask, confused. "But we're awesome!"

"Not awesome enough." Fred says, his expression is glum.

"We lose to them every year." Honey Lemon sighs.

The mood of them room just dropped from a 10 to a 0.

"Hey, hey, cheer up guys. We haven't even started and you're giving up. We're winning this year. And you even have a secret weapon." I smirk.

"And what would that be?" Wasabi asks.

"Me."

"Ahem." Someone coughs.

We turn towards the door. After about two hours of brainstorming, we felt pretty depressed. We came up with.. Absolutely nothing.

Krei is the one who comes out through the door.

I know what you're thinking: KREI?! But he's the bad guy here!

Well, we thought he was.

But turns out he's actually okay. Since the building burned down, he's funded the university with a lot of money to repair. It was all done in 1 month, flat.

Not only that, but in a way, he's replaced Prof. Callaghan. He oversees our work, gives recommendations, teaches us about the 'real robotic world' and so on. After all, he does have a PhD in Robotics Engineering.

Of course, he hasn't completely replaced Callaghan. Krei is more busy, with more business things to work on, but for the most part it's okay because we have a lot to work on too.

"Hey kids," He addresses us. One more thing about Krei, I hate when he calls us kids but, I doubt he's ever going to stop.

"A new student might transfer here. If she meets the requirements, she'll be here tomorrow. I think she's around your age, Hiro. A prodigy."

"Ooh! Another girl! And a prodigy! Yay!" Honey Lemon squeals.

"Yeah. Yay." Is all GoGo says.

Newbie, huh? I was getting sick of being the new guy anyways...

"I'm thinking of giving her the workroom next to Hiro's, is that okay?" He asks.

We all nod, not seeing a problem with it.

"Great. I need to leave, so I'll see you guys tomorrow." He waves his hand, turns, and leaves.

"New student..." I mumble to myself. It would be great to have a newbie. But a girl? Now I can't pick on her.. Not only that, but something felt wrong. What happened to needing to be tested to get in?

"Hey, I'll see you guys later. I have to go." I say, suddenly feeling sick.

"So soon?" Honey Lemon asks, a frown appearing on her face.

"But what about pizza?!" Fred wails.

"Ah, sorry guys," I frantically try to make up an excuse. "I, uh.. Aunt Cass wants me home for dinner! Bye!"

I grab my backpack and Baymax and run out the door. I go to the entrance when I overhear someone talking.

"Yes. Mhm, please do." I recognize the voice. It's Krei. I duck behind the wall. He seemed to be having a pretty serious conversation on the phone.

"Yes, she needs to be ready. She'll arrive here tomorrow. No one's suspecting a thing." He says.

What? 'No one's suspecting a thing?' What was he talking about? The new transfer?

"Brief her on what she needs to do... And make sure she listens." The last sentence seemed hard and cruel.

The other side of the line said something and in response, he said, "Of course, she'll fit in perfectly. Make sure she's ready for tomorrow. Ah, well, if she isn't.. I can do something about that." Again, the last part sounded a little suspicious.

My hand had been squirming around inside my pocket, a bad habit of mine that happened when I was nervous.

A coin falls out, making a plink! sound.

"Ow!" I accidentally say, I meant to say 'Oops'.

Suddenly Baymax started inflated. Just as he was about to say something, I covered his mouth and out a finger over my lips.

Krei must have heard the sound of him inflating or my coin dropping because he said, "Can't talk anymore, see you soon." He briefly ended the conversation and ended the call.

I peeked over the edge of the wall. He was looking around for signs of people, but no one was there.

He straightened out his jacket, slipped his phone into his pocket, and walked out towards his sleek, squeaky clean, black Mercedes.

"What is wrong?" Baymax asks.

"Nothing, I'm okay." I say as I pick the coin up.

"Your heart rate is rising rapidly."

"No, really Baymax, I'm okay."

After a few seconds, he said," Heart rate returning back to normal. Body levels seem to be in good health. Are you satisfied with you care?"

"Huh?" I was caught in my thoughts. What was Krei doing? Was he talking about the transfer? A knot in my stomach told me to be aware and cautious.

"Yeah, I'm satisfied with my care." I say to him.

I seriously did not want another incident to happen. Everyone was okay about Krei now, but I was never 100% sure about him. No one changes overnight like that.

What's going on?

Looks like I'll find out tomorrow.

New girl prodigy, huh.
