When they arrived, Alistair Krei was addressing his employees at a company-wide meeting outdoors. "This beautiful new campus is the culmination1 of a lifelong dream," he told them. "But none of this would have been possible without a few bumps in the road. Those setbacks made us stronger and set us on the path to a bright future."
Krei was smiling when a voice boomed, "Setbacks?"
It was Yokai. A wave of microbots carried him down the side of a building behind Krei. The crowd panicked and began to run. Krei ran, too, but Yokai swooped3 him up in a fist of microbots. "Was my daughter just a setback2?" he yelled, pushing up the mask for a moment.
"Callaghan!" Krei shouted. "Your daughter ... that was an accident!"
"No!" Callaghan yelled as the microbots tightened4 around Krei. "You knew it was unsafe! My daughter is gone because of your arrogance5!"
He raised his arms and wave upon wave of microbots descended6 on the Krei Tech campus. They carried in sections of the teleportation portal and quickly assembled it. Columns of microbots held the portal suspended over the campus.
"What are you doing?" Krei asked, terrified, as the portal began to hum.
"You took everything from me when you sent Abigail into that machine," Professor Callaghan said. "Now I'm going to take everything from you." Krei knew all too well what happened when there was no exit portal. All of Krei Tech would be sucked into oblivion!
Callaghan smiled. "You're going to watch everything you've built disappear. And then it's your turn."
He was about to give the signal to take the portal up to full power when he heard a voice call, "Professor Callaghan!"
The professor froze. Hiro and his friends were standing7 on the roof of a Krei Tech building. "Let him go!" Hiro yelled. "Is this what Abigail would have wanted?"
"Abigail is gone!" Callaghan shouted, his voice full of anguish8.
"This won't change anything," Hiro said. "Trust me, I know."
For a brief moment, Callaghan stopped.
"Listen to the kid, Callaghan!" Krei begged. "Let me go and I'll give you anything you want!"
Callaghan looked at Krei and became furious again. "I want my daughter back!" he yelled, lowering his mask, and the microbot fist around Krei squeezed even tighter.
"No!" Hiro shouted, watching Krei's face turn redder and redder.
But Callaghan had heard enough. He activated9 the portal and sent a wave of microbots to destroy Hiro and the team.
The microbots slammed into them, knocking them off the building's ledge10. Fred bounced onto a nearby roof, while Honey deployed11 a chem-ball net to catch herself, Go Go, and Wasabi. Baymax immediately swooped in to scoop12 up Hiro.
Hiro climbed onto Baymax's back and flew toward Callaghan. "Go for the mask!" he yelled to Baymax, hoping to get control of the neural13 transmitter.
But before Baymax and Hiro could reach him, Callaghan used the microbots to grab and throw them. Baymax crashed through the wall of a building, while Hiro broke through a window.
Suddenly, the pull of the portal above him ripped off the ceiling, pulling the debris14 ... and Hiro ... toward it.
 
他们到达时,阿里斯泰·格利正在户外向他的全体员工发表演说。“这个美丽的新园区是人生梦想的高潮。”他告诉他的员工道,“但是没有一路上的磕磕碰碰,这里的一切都不可能成功。那些挫折使我们更加强大,并引领着我们走向更辉煌的明天。
格利正微笑着,突然一个洪亮的声音响起:“挫折?”
来人正是妖怪。一大群微型机器人托着他从格利身后大楼的一侧下来了。人群恐慌起来,开始四处逃跑。格利也试图逃跑,但妖怪用微型机器人组成的拳头突然袭击了他。“我女儿只是个挫折吗?”他喊道,把面具向上推开了。
“卡拉汉!”格利喊道,“你女儿……那是场意外!”
“不!”卡拉汉喊道,微型机器人随即紧紧地包围了格利。“你明知道那个装备并不安全!我女儿就是因为你的骄傲自大而死的!”
他抬起手臂,挥了一挥,巨浪般一波接一波的微型机器人拥入了格利科技园区。它们搬运着空间传送门的部件,并很快将其组装了起来。由微型机器人组成的支柱将传送门高高地悬在园区之上。
“你要干什么?”格利恐惧地问道,传送门开始发出嗡嗡的声响。
“你把艾比盖尔送进那个机器的时候,就夺走了我的一切。”卡拉汉教授说道,“我现在要夺走你的一切。”格利明白根本没有另一个输出门。格利科技的一切都将被吸走,化为乌有!
卡拉汉笑道:“你将会看到你所创造的一切在你面前消失,然后就轮到你了。”
他正要发出信号让传送门全力开启时,一个声音响起了:“卡拉汉教授!”
教授呆住了。小宏和他的朋友们正站在格利科技大楼的楼顶。“放了他!”小宏喊道,“这难道是艾比盖尔希望看到的吗?”
“艾比盖尔已经死了!”卡拉汉大喊道,他的声音里充满了悲伤。
“这改变不了什么,”小宏说道,“相信我,我了解的。”
在这短暂的一瞬间,卡拉汉停了下来。
“听这个孩子的,卡拉汉!”格利乞求道,“放了我,我会给你你想要的一切!”
卡拉汉看着格利又开始变得愤怒起来。“我想要我女儿回来!”他把推上去的面具拉了下来大喊道,抓着格利的微型机器人拳头握得更紧了。
“不!”小宏看着格利的脸变得越来越红大声喊道。
可是卡拉汉已经听够了。他激活了传送门,派出了一大群微型机器人去摧毁小宏和他的队员。
微型机器人猛地向他们出击,把他们从大楼的平台上撞了下来。弗雷德跳到了附近的一个屋顶上,而哈妮柠檬则用化学球织成的大网接住了自己、神行御姐和芥末无疆。大白立即向下俯冲接住了小宏。
小宏爬上了大白的背,朝着卡拉汉飞了过去。“去夺他的面具!”他向大白喊道,想要控制传感器。
可大白和小宏还没接近卡拉汉,卡拉汉就用微型机器人抓住了他们,把他们扔了出去。大白被砸进了一座大楼的墙壁里,而小宏则撞碎了玻璃窗被甩入大楼的一个房间。
突然,传送门的引力拆掉了房顶,把散落的碎片……和小宏朝它吸去。
