DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters in Big Hero 6, only the characters i made up for this story.


As you enter this place, another being is awoken.

Both journeys begin. Yours and its journey towards you.

It's always moving. Never faster or slower. It never stops.

You will run, it will walk.

You will rest, it will not.

Always following. Always catching up.

One day, you will linger in the same spot for too long.

You'll think too hard or sit too still.

When, too late, you rise to go,

You'll notice a second shadow next to yours.

And then… Your life will be over.

Colonnades, chambers, fountains and libraries all set in dusty ancient stone. It is an ancient, sprawling building. The corridors are lined with rows of arched windows set in ancient stone. As the sun passes through the sky, the sunbeams sweep around the rooms like searchlights. Inside the central room, is a massive circular chamber filled with active but ancient looking technology seemingly made from brass and glass. The surrounding walls stretch towards the ceiling which spirals down in towards the center into a funnel. At the end of the funnel, is a large, circular glass cabinet big enough to fit a man inside.

A shadow of a hunched figure forms over one of the consoles as if it is struggling to walk. With effort, a hand slams a lever and the hunched figure falls, crashing to the floor. The room erupts into noise as the circular glass cabinet lights up in a fury of yellow light. A figure begins to take shape inside the cabinet. The hunched figure turns to a barely recognizable silhouette of ash. After a few moments, the body of a boy has taken shape inside the cabinet.

The boy suddenly convulses into life, coughing and spluttering. He slams his hands against the glass and takes deep breaths to calm himself down so he can begin to register his surroundings. The noise of the machine slowly dies down until only the spinning and ticking of the intricate mechanisms could be heard. The young and rather slender boy slowly opens the glass cabinet and enters the brass and glass chamber He closes the glass door behind him and steps down from the machine, slowly running his hand through his unruly black hair in the process. As he turns his head to look around, a haunted look suddenly crosses his face as if there was a memory impacting, sickeningly. He remembers what they had done to them.

The slender boy, to show if anybody was watching that he means business, then straightens up his blue hoodie jacket, zips it up and rolls his sleeves up. He usually has a kind heart and loves to be rather brazen and cocky but never to the point of being annoying. However, he also has a darker side which can be unleashed when he's under provocation. He then proceeds to pat down his long dark beige capri shorts in order to straighten them. When he feels satisfied with how he looks and has composed himself, he begins to walk towards what he presumed to be a stone door. As he approaches it, he suddenly hears a crunching, grinding sound and the entire stone slab of a door moves to reveal a corridor outside the room.

As he moves towards the corridor, he stops and looks down to see his dark brown trainers with yellow laces covered in some sort of dust. He kneels and scoops a handful into his hand and allows it to freely cascade out of his hand through the gaps between his fingers. He then stands up straight, takes a deep breath and he finally speaks.

"If you think that, because you took my best friends away from me, I am weak then you understand very little. If you had any part in kidnapping them and you're not afraid then you understand nothing at all. So for your own sake understand this. My name is Hiro Hamada and I'm getting out of here. Then, I'm going to save my friends. Finally, I'm going to find you and I will never ever stop until I do."
