Synopsis[]
When Hiro and Go Go accompany Krei to the woods to deal with Nedd Ludd, they run into the monster of legend, the Hibagon.
Plot[]
Hiro accompanies Alistair Krei on a trip to Muirahara Woods, the latter planning to buy the forest to build a new tech campus for Krei Tech. At the same time, they run into Liv Amara, accompanied by Chris, as Sycorax intends to buy the land for a nature conservatory. Krei and Amara try to bid each other out, but both are unable to get reception on their phones. Hiro explains this is due to "Bessie" a meteorite who interferes with electronics and is securely guarded by Ned Ludd who pretends to be the legendary Hibagon. Krei recognizes Ned as a former real estate agent that he used to go golfing with and sets out to convince Ned to take Bessie and leave, with Hiro tagging along due to the trip being in his contract. Meanwhile, Amara hatches a plot to acquire Bessie by using Ned to take out Krei thanks to Hiro inadvertently telling them where to find it.
Meanwhile, at the Lucky Cat Café, Go Go opts to accompany Hiro and Krei to Muirahara since she has the wilderness experience. On that note, Honey Lemon, Wasabi, Fred, Baymax, and Mini-Max volunteer to watch the café while Aunt Cass attends to a catering event that day. In the woods, at Ned's treehouse, Ned is accosted by Amara before he is ambushed and incapacitated by Chris. Amara then places a transdermal patch on the unconscious Ned.
Hiro, Go Go and Krei enter the woods in a van that soon gives out when it comes in the range of Bessie's magnetic field. Meanwhile, back at the café, Baymax and Mini-Max greet customers as Honey and Wasabi help serve food, and Fred keeps eating the orders himself. However, Mochi runs outside into the streets once he spots the door open, prompting Fred, Baymax, and Mini-Max to go looking for the cat.
Hiro, Go Go, and Krei continue the trek on foot and soon run into Ned who, by observation from Go Go, is acting stranger than usual. Meanwhile, Amara has Chris place Bessie into a containment unit. The unit nullifies the meteorite's influence, including on Ned's patch, which Amara activates. This mutates Ned into a monster—a genuine Hibagon—in front of Hiro, Go Go, and Krei. The Hibagon pursues the trio through the wood. Krei instructs them to turn left but Go Go steers them all right and falls into a stream towards a waterfall, but she is saved with a branch from Krei. Krei then asks Go Go why she didn't listen to him and steered them right. She says because the opposite of what he says to do usually works. Krei tells her the right path had "lush foliage" which clearly indicated a body of water nearby. Hiro and Go Go give him funny looks to which he replies, "What? I can know things." Krei has him and Hiro coat themselves in mud to avoid the creature picking up their scent. Go Go is reluctant before the Hibagon reappears and chases after her. The Hibagon grabs her until Hiro swats it back with a tree trunk, causing it to throw Go Go and leaving her with a twisted ankle.
Back in the city, Fred, Baymax, and MiniMax continue the search for Mochi still not finding a trace of him. Fred begins to fear the worst if they don't find him, but then suggests they disguise MiniMax as Mochi. MiniMax doesn't make a good cat impression, so Fred remembers that Baymax can scan "for things and stuff" and realizes they could've saved themselves a lot of time. Baymax begins scanning and finds Mochi in a trash can. MiniMax goes after him, but Mochi jumps away onto a bus. Fred then tells Baymax and MiniMax there's only one other option and pushes an app on his phone.
While Hiro tends to Go Go, Krei fashions a makeshift brace for Go Go to walk in. When Hiro asks how he could know such survival skills, Krei, glad to explain, explains how he used to go to Fire Scout Camp as a child in the summers he spent home from boarding school and spent time in the woods without any friends. Hiro suddenly gets a text presumably from Fred: "Everything is fine and Mochi isn't lost." Go Go is surprised Hiro got a text while they were still in Bessie's range and she and Krei check their own phones which are also receptive again. The Hibagon closes back in on them; Krei asks the two of them, "Do you trust me?" and, after getting confirmation from them, runs off and comes back moments later with the van (which reactivated when Bessie was contained) and saves Hiro and Go Go. The trio drives out of the forest, but the Hibagon follows them on a moving truck.
Meanwhile, Fred, Baymax, and Mini-Max take the search for Mochi in the skies. As they fly over San Fransokyo Bridge, they spot Hiro, Go Go, and Krei driving back with the Hibagon nearby. Fred has Baymax fly over to the passenger side of the van where Hiro is and yells to him, "Watch out behind you!" The Hibagon then jumps on the van. Krei abruptly stops the van which throws the Hibagon off and causes a traffic jam. Fred, Baymax, and Mini-Max arrive to confront the Hibagon, but the Hibagon throws both Mini-Max and Fred over the bridge (though Mini-Max manages to save them both) and takes out Baymax by redirecting his rocket fist back at the robot. Before the Hibagon can strike Hiro, Go Go, and Krei, Mochi springs on the Hibagon, scratching him numerous times until he knocks off Amara's patch and saves the day reverting him back to Ned. After the battle, Hiro apologizes to Krei for misjudging his capability and Krei tells Hiro he's made the decision not to build the new campus in the woods telling Hiro, "If the woods don't exist, how will tomorrow's executives impress their interns with survivalist know-how?" As he says this, he ruffles Hiro's hair and beams a soft smile at him showing the soft spot he seems to have grown for Hiro.
While Fred returns to the café with Mochi and a drained Baymax and Mini-Max, Hiro and Go Go give a discouraged Ned a ride back to his treehouse. Ned voices how dumb he feels and that he can't remember anything that happened. Hiro tries to assure him, "It's over and you're safe. That's what's important." Ned replies, "You're not right about much, kid, but-" and stops short noticing that the van was functioning. Ned worriedly goes to check on Bessie. Hiro and Go Go examine the patch that was on Ned as it clearly was what changed him, and someone wanted him turned into a monster. Hiro, although he doesn't know who, has a hunch why. They are then alerted by Ned that Bessie is gone. Back at Sycorax, Amara's experiments on Bessie break the meteorite and reveals a raw mass of energy. Amara states that once she is done with Bessie, Bessie will be "beautiful".
