## Synopsis

*Shadowsan, the five of Big Hero 6 and their substitute member, Karmi, fly to Vienna to intercept Darkness's latest heist, hoping it'll lead them to the missing Hiro.*

## Plot

Shadowsan heads to Seattle to search for Hiro after his kidnapping, but reports back to the remaining 5 of Big Hero 6 and Karmi that he is gone. They do not know where he went. Three weeks later, Shadowsan pays a visit to the former Black Army headquarters in the Canary Islands, looking for any evidence.

In ACME headquarters, Chase is summoned by Chief and re-introduces Julia as the “newest” recruit. Julia does some searching for information on Hiro at Chief's request and his information. She discovers his father, Dexter Hamada was married to a Carlotta Camila from Vera Cruz, Mexico, but moved to Argentina, then to San Fransokyo.

Sometime later, Big Hero 6 (Karmi serving as Hiro's substitute) are alerted to a intended heist on a museum in Austria, where a new agent named the "Quiet One" is being deployed and travel their to attempt to discover what has become of Hiro following his capture at the hands of Darkness's operatives. They arrive at the museum at night, only to find the power has been cut, the heist already in progress and two of the perpetrators, clad in Hiro's invisibility body suits the group believe Darkness has copied, attempting to make an escape. Joined by the police (under the leadership of one of Chief Cruz's officers, who recognises and offers the police's assistance to the heroes). The heroes and law enforcement squad encircle the pair, who instantly in combat, taking out several dozen of the officers, although the heroes prevent them from delivering fatal wounds. One of the thieves has their mask set alight by Fred, causing them to rip it off and reveal them self to be Jörmungand. The heroes and remaining police officers surround Jörmungand and her partner, and re-engage in combat, Jörmungand facing Fred, Karmi, Baymax and the police which her ally faces Go Go, Honey Lemon and Wasabi, ruthlessly knocking Honey Lemon back and nearly killing Wasabi, in which they reveal they are also in possession of a portable version of Project Silent Sparrow. In the conflict, Go Go's disc creates a cut of their mask and they are finally able to tear of the face mask, although the companion acrobatically leaps into the shadows and re-joins Jörmungand as they attempt to escape in the darkness before anyone could identify him or her. However, the police and heroes surround the group and a law enforcement helicopter lights the villa-like courtyard the museum is centred around. The spotlight illuminates the two in its glare, first revealing Jörmungand, magic glowing at her figure tips, then showing her ally revealing to Big Hero 5 and Karmi's horror Jörmungand's ally's identity: Hiro.

The scene pans back to when, around several days prior, Hiro was taken to the headquarters of the Black Army; there he is brainwashed reprogrammed by Grimler's memory device and the scepter of night so that Hiro would only remember false memories of his life as a Dark One agent and be purely dedicated to their causes, who is codenames, "the Quiet One". Grimler and Darkness use their technology and magic to alter Hiro's memories of his secret classes with them and the other Forsworn, making him believe that he graduated top of his class, but on his graduation day, Shadowsan turned traitor and fled, setting the school hall building alight and killing Hiro's parents and Tadashi, who are inside. Hiro attempts to pursue Shadowsan, who he catches sight off fleeing, but the older Dark One escape in a boat at a deck, sharing a second of eye contact with Hiro before speeding away. As rain begins to pour from a coming storm, Hiro's altered memories show Darkness, Grimler, General Slithraa, Queen Wasp, Wolfgang and Orazira join Hiro on the dock, comforting him, Grimler sheltering Hiro with an umbrella while Darkness slides Hiro's red coat onto his shoulders, Wasp places Hiro's signature hat upon his head and Slithraa gently ties one of Shadowsan's *daishō* blades, which he had supposedly dropped around Hiro's waist. The group stare mournfully out to sea.

Hiro is released into the wild on his first mission since his re-programming. Black Army agents are ready to infiltrate a museum in Austria to take some crown jewels. The group consists of Hiro's former school mates: Jörmungand (who, unaware of Hiro's brainwashing and thinks he has joined of his own free will, has been appointed deputy leader of the mission), Tigress, El Topo, and Le Chevre, all of whom have been given explicit instructions not to mention anything that contrasts with the illusion Darkness and her brother have woven. Meeting each other in the sewers (the non-stinking variety) Tigress, El Topo and Le Chevre reunite with Jörmungand, who appears from the shadows, leaning casually against the wall, who El Topo greets with a cheerful hug, Le Chevre with a smile and even Tigress with a smirk of slight affection. Less than a minute after Jörmungand's arrival, Hiro also shows up, dressed in his trenchcoat and hat, greeting the team with "*Ola, sewer rats*", then swiftly cowing Tigress after she mocks him for his supposed tardiness, pining Tigress against the wall with her own claw. Jörmungand cuts the power, the team takes out the security guards and they infiltrate and snag their intended products: a collection of crown jewels on display. Going back in the sewers, the team, bar Jörmungand and Hiro (who have not arrived) leave for their intended meeting point.

The scene returns to the battle, where Hiro's friends are distraught and confused, unable to understand why their friend is helping the enemy. Using this hesitation, Jörmungand and Hiro attack, Hiro taking out Baymax, Wasabi and Baymax without a flicker of emotion before Jörmungand and him flee into the darkness of a museum corridor. While Jörmungand transports the stolen items to the Dark Ones, Hiro distracts Big Hiro 6, drawing them out of the museum and into a carnival. Hiro sees Fred and Honey Lemon, and contacts Jörmungand to await his signal. Getting into a Ferris wheel, Fred comes and confronts him to see if it is him, but a power failure caused by Jörmungand enables Hiro to open the cab doors, knock Fred (who is without his Fredmeleon suit) down and push him out of the cab, labelling him as a problem and telling him to try and hit Honey Lemon and Go Go on the way down before treading on his clatching fingers, forcing Fred to let go and nearly sending him plummeting to his demise; Shadowsan rescues Fred and he and the confused teenagers watch as Hiro escapes in a hang-glider.

Hiro returns to the museum and stands on top to monitor the “bluecoasts”, that is agents of ACME; he has his sights on the now Big Hero 5 and Karmi, snorting and rolling his eyes in slight annoyance at the sight of Fred alive, well and shocks, before clutching his fists in rage at the sight of Shadowsan, supressing the instinct to kill the man he believes in his parents and brother's murderer.

Meanwhile, Jörmungand awaits Hiro in the grounds and is about to head back to the sewers through the floor entrance the Dark Ones entered through. Chase spots her and tries to follow but is called away by Julia for something else; he had narrowly missed being attacked by Jörmungand hiding around a corner on the sewer tunnels. Hiro hears and listens onto a performance at a nearby concert hall, where Jörmungand contacts him to rendezvous with her and the others. Hiro, however, tells his partner in crime that he had one more thing to purloin, to Jörmungand's anxiety and confusion, and goes in to steals a Stradivarius violin from the violinist when the lights momentarily flash. Jörmungand reports to Darkness and the Order of Shadows and they briefly believe Hiro has gone rogue again, only for Hiro to contact them and reveal his theft. This theft concerns Jörmungand, as she didn't feel it was necessary and was rather bit cruel, something she cannot understand the Hiro she knows indulging in. Darkness and the Order, on the other hand, are ecstatic, and, after ending the call, Darkness announces that this might be the first step to freeing and returning her beloved husband; the Dragon Lord (master of the Forsworn), to power.

Hiro returns to the carnival with the rest of the operatives and the 5 head over to a carnival and order drinks, Jörmungand and the others (even a reluctant Tigress) toast Hiro at his arrival and he gives a half-bow before seating himself. Jörmungand questioning Hiro why he did not let them in on his grand theft, which Hiro answers with "a boy can't impulse shop". Sitting down, they enjoy a bit of friendly banter and the downtime.

Back at HQ, Shadowsan, Karmi, Big Hero 6 and Granville (who is communicating only), acknowledge the fact that Hiro as they know is currently gone and has become a fully fledged Dark One operative and ponder how to get the real one back, if it is even possible. Shadowsan realises that Darkness has used her brother Grimler's brainwashing tech, combined with the Dark powers of the Scepter of Night, to not only change Hiro's memory, but also supressed his empathy, kindness and ability to feel for others, thus leaving him a cold, intellectual genius (aka making him the operative she always wanted from Hamada).

One or two months later, Hiro has been detected committing thefts in numerous places around the world, often with Jörmungand as company. ACME was not able to catch him, perplexing Chase and Julia and the Chief sets ACME to bringing Hiro down … for good. Aunt Cass is in deep concern and grief following her discovering of what Darkness has made her nephew, though Big Hero 6 (Karmi serving as Hiro's replacement until they can save him) assure her they will bring him back, though they secretly wonder how. Hiro is brought to the headquarters and promoted to the Order of Shadows in reward for how his multitude of successes had benefited the organisation. There, Darkness and the Order reveal how his father had once been a member, but lie, claiming that Shadowsan had assassinated him without their knowledge, rather than defected. Hiro's anger is now twisted into a resolve for vengeance now that his suspicion has finally been seemingly confirmed.
