The Hiro and the Goddesses - PSL for Hiro and Skuld

[manga_goddess_skuld]

Hey look, another portal to who knows where! There were a few things different about this one though.

For one thing voices were coming out of it in an odd mix of languages before resolving into the one Hiro knew best.

For another? It opened up right beside him, without any tech that he could see on his end that should have opened any such portal.

And if more weirdness was needed? It had gravity. Like a lot of it. He and much of the stuff around him was being pulled towards the center of it.

As to the voices coming out of it:

"You big baka! Mitaru at this mess! Everyone knows you can't make a mon to Yggdrasil with those calculations! That's not a bridge mandala! It's a summoning portal!" A youngish sounding female voice was screaming. "Idiot! Baka!"

An angry older voice, this one clearly belonging to an adult woman was screaming back. "Well maybe if the paper with all the calculations wasn't covered in ice cream I could read it!"

The voices grew louder, or rather, thanks to the increasing gravity, he was pulled closer.

"Maybe if you'd stop making your weirdo medicines and testing them on yourself all the time you could actually read basic Ndiminesional math!" the first voice accused

"Oho?" The second asked, almost purring now, all trace of anger seemingly gone. "Then who should I test it on I suppose? You, dear little sist... OW!" That would be when the first large item made it through. "What in the OW! It's raining... supplies of some sort!"

"I told you it's a summoning!" the first voice called, frantic. "Quick, erase the summoning sigil from the northwest sector."

"If I knew which one was the summoning sigil I wouldn't have used it!" the woman protested as he was falling into the portal.

"How did you ever get your license?" The younger one demanded. "It's this one here!" She started scrubbing at it furiously with the stick end of what looked like a comically large mallet.

Because now he could see the pair on the ground below him. The rapidly approaching ground. The woman was floating above some huge complicated design actually etched into the stone courtyard of some sort of Japanese temple. Her white hair was dancing weightless in the air around her.

The girl, on the other hand was firmly on the ground, fighting to obliterate one of the many complicated symbols, focused and frustrated, her long black hair hanging limp as an odd shaped robot and what looked like a small child tried to help her. "OH FOR GODDESS SAKE!" she finally yelled. "BACK!"

The woman floated up higher, the robot and the child rushed back as the teenager pulled what looked like one of those odd game balls with the wires out... of her shirt.... and threw it on the ground. The ground he was still approaching, though his fall was slowing.

There was a loud explosion that blew him back up several feet before letting him resume falling. More than half of the complicated circle and its symbols had been replaced with a smoking crater. The teenager looked more than a little worse for the wear standing right at the edge of it. She opened her mouth to speak, or cough when the woman finally looked up.

"INCOMING!" the woman said, seeing him falling at them with the last few of his belongings. "Wait, why is he falling as slowly as the book is?"

"SCIENCE!" the teen shouted in frustration. "SAVE HIM!"

"Yeah yeah," the woman said. "On it," she muttered, flying up to meet him, wings coming out of her back, one pure white, one jet black. And as she got closer he'd see that her face, chest, and clothes, had "Idiot!" written all over it in various odd typefaces. Usually with outlines, sometimes with drop shadows.

Sad? No, home is great! I love San Fransokyo!

[Because, well. Although some things were sad, losing his parents and Tadashi and all, overall things were actually great? He was thriving and being challenged for the first time with his education in university. He was helping people, and had made friends who supported him. Life was good. San Franksokyo was good, for all that some people might occasionally make him question it.]

"Even without take home bags for ice cream?" she asked, paying as they handed over a rather large knapsack that she slid onto her back.

[baymaxing]

Even without take away bags for ice cream. Because usually we just get some from the store and take it home in the tub. In like a tote bag or something. Or just get a cone to eat then and there like I just did.

[It is hardly the end of the world like she seems to think? At least. To Hiro anyway. He still gets ice cream, even if not....this much....

Once she has the knapsack, he gives a shrug, asking if they were ready to head back and finish up now.]

[manga_goddess_skuld]

"Well I do that too, but I ran out today. And I didn't want to wait for Belldandy to go to the store." She headed back out to the bikes.

[baymaxing]

Why not just send her to get some while we were working on Baymax?

[Probably because she wanted to come out and get some here as well as some back home. Still, Hiro just shakes his head and shrugs, following when they were ready to head back out to the bikes, getting on the one she lets him borrow, putting on the helmet.]

[manga_goddess_skuld]

"We had to wait anyway. Besides, Big Sister is busy, and I shouldn't bother her over every little thing. Not when I could do it myself."

[baymaxing]

Okay, okay. Let's just get back to your place and check on Baymax.

[He's not sure what the robot might do coming to properly if he were to do so finally charged alone in a strange new world and all, without Hiro. Hiro just hopes he wouldn't have been able to just wander off and get lost or something.]

[manga_goddess_skuld]

"Yep!" she said. Then grinned. "Actually, I'll go on ahead and meet you guys!" she said eyeing a nearby lake.

[baymaxing]

Huh? The lake?

[What was she going to do there? At the least, he figures it probably wouldn't take long? If she intends to figure doing whatever it is before the ice cream would melt. Or something. Hiro just wants to get back to check on Baymax, so he gives a shrug, climbing astride her bike he was borrowing.]

[manga_goddess_skuld]

Sentato sighed and started pedaling back. When they got to the house, Keiichi let them in and pointed to the workshop, where Skuld was already there and checking on things, half way through her takeaway ice cream.

[baymaxing]

[Hiro puts the bike back in the garage once they were let in, then blinks, pausing in surprise when he sees Skuld. Who had evidently already been back a while by this point, judging by the ice cream and all already.]

Oh, you made it back already. How's Baymax? Everything okay?

[manga_goddess_skuld]

She grinned and shifted aside. "Check for yourself. According to Banpei's readings it should be time to disconnect them!"

[baymaxing]

Yeah? Alright! Baymax is back!

[Of course that has Hiro dashing in to check in with his robot. He rushes in past her when she shifts aside to let him in, heading in a beeline for the large white robot's side. This wasn't how he usually charged Baymax, after all, so he hopes there was nothing wrong.]

Baymax?

[manga_goddess_skuld]

Should be nothing wrong. She unhooked the robots. "Make sure everything works properly?" she asked while checking Banpei.

[baymaxing]

[Baymax does his usual wave and greeting to Hiro, making him give a sigh of relief that the robot seems fine and all charged up ready to go again. Hiro runs a hand through his hair, grinning.]

He's fine. All good on our end. So now we just have to figure reversing or fixing that thing that pulled us in here to send us back home?

[He says as he turns to her, once he confirms Baymax is charged and back to his normal self again.]

[manga_goddess_skuld]

Skuld nodded and tossed aside her now empty ice cream container. "Yep!"

[baymaxing]

Awesome! So....how exactly do we figure that?

[Sure. Hiro had been through a portal before or whatever but he still wasn't necessarily sure exactly on how it worked. It was already active when he had gotten there and they had figured that Callaghan's daughter was still alive in there somewhere.]

[manga_goddess_skuld]

"First we need to figure out which world is yours. I have some data off of Baymax, but it isn't much to extrapolate from. I need to examine the mandala that Urd used and reverse engineer it to figure out the coordinates."

[baymaxing]

I'm not sure if or how I can help, but if I can somehow?

[He has no idea about this stuff. Mandalas or whatever. It seems like it might be easier to leave it to her but he isn't going to not help if he thinks he can with something or other.]

[manga_goddess_skuld]

She considered that, then gave him a bright smile. "I could always use help with some of the lifting and carrying, Banpei can only move one stone at a time, and Sigil's servos aren't quite up to the load of the sixty pound stones. Thank you!"

[baymaxing]

Sixty pounds? That sounds more like a job for Baymax than me. He's stronger than he looks!

[Which was a good thing. When it meant he could help carry all of Big Hero 6 when flying around if necessary. Which it usually was, in escaping the crowds taking photos or the attention of the police.]

[manga_goddess_skuld]

"That works then. Of course...." looking at him now that he was fully reinflated. "Not sure he'll fit through my door. I guess I'll need to blow out the side wall..." Hmmmmm.....

[baymaxing]

Blow -- whoa, what? He gets around just fine at my place.

[Inflatable. Which meant that Baymax could temporarily squeeze through tighter spaces like a doorway at least. Assuming it wasn't like a tiny cat door or something anyway. Hiro raises his hands, glancing to the robot who stares at said door.]

[manga_goddess_skuld]

"Are the doors bigger?" she asked. She was already reaching up to grab an explosive device off a high self.

[baymaxing]

I don't think so? Baymax just squeezes through them. He's vinyl, so he's kind of got some wiggle room there. Not like actual metal, you know? Wait, what is that?

[Explosives? That seems kind of dangerous. And unnecessary. Baymax was kind of bigger with being fully charged and himself again in not being on low battery anymore but Hiro still doesn't think it warrants this drastic a measure.]
