"Aunt Cass!" Hiro yelled through his microphone.

"Hiro, what happened?" Penny asked.

"I don't know," Hiro replied.

"I'll tell Wilbur to go there, but we have to beat them now before they kidnap and torture more people," Penny told him.

Hiro rubbed his neck. He slowly nodded.

"Wilbur, Aunt Cass needs some help. I'll tell you where to go," Penny told Wilbur through her earpiece and sent him the coordinates.

"Now, take a deep breath," Penny instructed.

"I'm fine. I just... I don't want to lose anyone else," Hiro admitted.

"We're going to get your brother and aunt back, you don't have to worry about that," Penny assured him.

She grabbed his hand allowing him to use his powers to the max. Hiro looked at their interlocked hands before turning towards the door with determination. He busted the doors open.

"No," Penny whispered when she looked inside.

Syndrome stood in the middle of the room, holding Violet by the neck.

"It seems I underestimated you four. But now I have the upper hand. One wrong move and I'll snap her neck in two," Syndrome warned them.

"What do you want from us?!" Hiro yelled.

"Your powers," Syndrome replied.

"How do you plan on getting them?" Penny asked.

"That's for me to know, and for you to never find out," Syndrome taunted. "But I'll make you a deal. Sign this contract, get my other self out of that cell, and I'll give her back."

"You couldn't get him out?" Penny asked with her arms crossed.

"Don't get smart with me. Should I remind you who you're dealing with?" Syndrome asked slowly holding Violet with more force.

"Don't do it!" Violet struggled. "Please. I don't want you getting hurt."

"I'll do it," Hiro replied.

"Hiro, this is a trap," Penny warned him.

"There's no other choice," Hiro reminded her.

They slowly walked closer to Syndrome. Hiro got close enough to Syndrome to take the contract from his hands.

"What's this?" Hiro asked and started reading. "Wait, you want Baymax?"

"I don't see why you have to read it. It's not like you have a choice," Syndrome stated.

"Baymax isn't mine to give," Hiro told him.

"Maybe not in this timeline, but he's certainly yours in the dimension where your brother dies," Syndrome told him. "Sign the contract, and THEN I'll let her go."

"What? How come you get what you want first?" Hiro asked. Penny remained quiet while also looking over the contract.

Penny went to grab Hiro's hand but Syndrome reminded her," One wrong move and it's bye-bye to little Miss Invisible over here. I'll even raise the stakes. With one press of a button on that panel, this whole island will explode and we wouldn't want that, now would we?"

"Don't you want your other half out of the cell?" Penny asked.

Syndrome grumbled, "Fine."
