I'm Not Giving Up On You Chapter 1

I do not own Big Hero 6 or any of its characters

Everything hurt. His head, his lungs, his limbs. Tadashi moved a little and felt something poking him in his arm. He opened his eyes and found himself starting at a dark colored ceiling. He was lying on a small bed with an IV in his arm. His first reaction was to remove the IV but another hand stopped him. He flinched a little and looked up at the person whose hand was holding the IV.

It was a middle-aged man with gray hair and blue eyes; he was wearing a beige sweater vest with a red collar shirt beneath it, dark gray slacks and brown shoes. He was also wearing some kind of weird headband on his head. His name was Robert Callaghan and Tadashi didn't realize it but he was his kidnapper and the one responsible for his current state.

"Don't take it out, it's to help out with your condition," he said quietly.

"Condition?" Tadashi asked. "Who are you? What is this place? Who am I for that matter?"

"Who are you?" the man asked. "Who don't know who you are?"

Callaghan thought Tadashi was joking but when he gave him a serious face he knew it wasn't a joke. Just when he thought there would be problem with his plan, now he knew it might just work after all. If he played his cards right Tadashi may became a key player if what he was about to do. With a small smirk he prepared to feed Tadashi lies.

"My name is Robert Callaghan and you're my assistant, you've have been helping me the past few weeks on a certain project I have been preparing for. This place in an abandoned laboratory that was once owed by the very people who set my project into motion."

Tadashi looked around and noticed his surroundings; it was true he was at a laboratory. Old equipment and tools were on the floor along with some debris. He also noticed there was some ash on his clothes; he puzzled him since it looked like there hadn't been a fire here.

"Why do I have ash on my clothes?"

"There was an accident, a fire broke out. Thankfully I was able to get us both out with the help of these," Callaghan said as raised his arm in the air.

Suddenly a large swarm of little robots made their way to the two men. Tadashi could see that there were hundreds of them and they were being controlled by Callaghan.

"With the help of this device I can control them to do whatever I want," Callaghan said as he pointed to the headband. "This is the project I was telling you about. After weeks we've finally perfected it and soon we can move onto the other phase."

"The other phase?"

"While we've perfected what they can do these are still not enough, I need more of these microbots in order for the plan to work."

Tadashi just sat there quietly and let all this information sink in. Then he realized that there was a question Callaghan hadn't answered yet. His name.

"And my name?" he asked again.

Callaghan paused for a moment and turned around. He didn't want Tadashi to know his real name since it could cause him to remember and if that happened everything he worked for would have been for nothing. A name came to him.

"Yokai," he said with a smile.

"Yokai?" Tadashi repeated.

"Yes Yokai," he replied. "It will all come to you soon enough but for now just rest. Tomorrow morning we start anew and I will tell you the rest of the plan. I'm going to go back to my office and go through some paperwork, call if you need anything… Yokai."

"Oh okay."

Tadashi now dubbed "Yokai" watched as Callaghan made his way into another room and close the door behind him. Tadashi laid back down on the small bed and looked up at the ceiling. His head started to hurt again, all of this was a lot to take in. He wondered if he really could trust Callaghan, he didn't know what it was but there was something about him that seemed untrustworthy. But at this point what choice did he have? He didn't remember anything about his past other than what Callaghan told him. His mind was a blank slate.

"I'm Yokai… my name is Yokai," he stated to himself.

Little did he know he was being watched on a small screen in the other room where Callaghan was in. He fixed the camera in that room in order to make sure Tadashi didn't escape or do something stupid.

"He's buying it," he whispered under his breath. "Good. Good. The plan can commence only this time it seems like I won't have to get my hands dirty too much."

Tadashi closed his eyes and it sleep take him away from this confusing world. His dreams were full of flames, it was hot. The burning sensation was hurting his skin; a he could hear a voice in the background. Someone was yelling a name that he couldn't make out. He saw someone running in the distance, it was a boy about the age of fourteen or so. He had messy black hair and big, round brown eyes. He wore a red shirt with a robot on it along with a blue hoodie; he had beige capri shorts and dark brown trainers with yellow laces. He had a look of fear on his face, his mouth was agape and Tadashi could see he had a gap in the front of his teeth. He held his arm out in front of him and he could see his mouth moving. He was saying something but he couldn't hear it. Suddenly the flames became hotter and spread all around him, he tried to shout for the boy to help him but his voice was gone. He couldn't talk!

The flames engulfed him in a heated inferno, his body ached and it felt as if his soul itself was being burned. The boy began to fade but before he did Tadashi could see the tears rolling down his face. Why was he crying? He tried to call out to him but his voice failed him once again. He was gone and Tadashi woke up. He looked all over the room for any signs that there was a fire and he checked his body. Nothing happened… it was just a dream… a nightmare. Why did that boy appear in his nightmare though? Who was he? His head started to hurt again so he stopped thinking.

"Get it together Yokai," he said. "Everything will be better in the morning."

Maybe when he got to work with Callaghan again the answers would come to him. Maybe then everything would make sense and more of his memories would appear. Hopefully. He went back to sleep.

"Don't worry Tadashi or Yokai I will make sure to put you to good use," Callaghan said while looking at the picture of the man he swore vengeance against, Alistair Krei. "I will have my revenge Krei no matter what the cost is."
