"I thought you didn't make deals with villains," Richard taunted them.

"We're not making a deal. You're going to tell us where they are without hesitation," Wilbur replied.

"How are you going to do that exactly?" Richard asked.

"Like this. Tell us where the rest of the people you kidnapped are," Penny demanded as she looked straight into his eyes.

"Ha! That won't work on me," Richard retorted.

"He can stop a person's powers if he looks at them," Wilbur explained.

"That's sort of why I left you in his care. Just in case," Mr. Forrester admitted sheepishly.

"In case I was a super?" Penny asked him.

"Wait, before we go on, Mr. Forrester, are you a super?" Hiro asked him.

"Well, sort of," he replied.

"Sort of?" Penny repeated.

"We'll have time to go over everything once we're safe and away from certain company," Mr. Forrester replied.

"Maybe not you, but there are four more possible candidates," Penny replied once she turned to look at Richard again.

"Good luck with that," Richard retorted.

Violet threw a force field at him knocking him out.

"Violet!" Her mother reprimanded her.

"What? It's not like he was going to talk anyways," Violet replied.

Penny walked over to Yokai and demanded him to reply.

"I don't know the exact location. Syndrome is the only one that knows," Yokai replied.

Dr. Calico tried to hit him to stop him from saying anything but Penny made him stop.

"Let him talk," she told Calico.

"Tell us what you know," Penny told him.

"Syndrome kept the others on a separate island in case this one was found. He said the code word to get there is 'Titans'."

The red lights lights turned back on after he was finished.

"What's going on?" Mr. Forrester asked.

"The clock is ticking again!" Hiro replied as he looked at a hologram of Syndrome's computer.

"But everyone is out already!" Violet reminded them.

"Haven't you learned? I'm always one step ahead," both Syndromes snickered.

The rest of the supers stood together, unsure of what to do. Their suits started beeping and a red light glowed from the middle of their chests. Suddenly, a claw came out of a cell and grabbed one of the supers.

"Cora!" A boy yelled.

"Astro!" the girl called.

His feet became rockets as he flew toward the claw, but he was too late and the claw retracted into a room. The doors closed just as he got there. He punched a hole into the door, but it was empty.

Another claw came out and tried to snatch Eep, but Grug pushed her out of the way. The claw captured took him away. The red light on his suit became green.

"Dad!" Eep yelled.

"The suits! They must have a tracking device! You need to destroy them!" Hiro realized.

Eugene and Hans both noticed two claws coming toward them so they quickly crushed Elsa and Anna's tracking devices. Hans had a bit more trouble, but he managed to do it just in time.
