Late that night Hiro woke up to someone nudging him.
"Ugh, five more minutes aunt Cass" the raven haired boy mumbled, but instead of aunt Cass's voice telling him to get up it was Baymax's.
"Hiro, you and Tadashi got a call from Honey Lemon asking for the three of us to come over to the girl's apartment, something is wrong with Summer" said Baymax. Hiro shot up at that part. "what's wrong with her?'" he asked throwing his hoodie over his PJ's.
"Honey said that she couldn't explain" said Tadashi coming out of the bathroom with his cardigan over his PJ's. Hiro raised his eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" he asked. Tadashi looked at Hiro, clearly annoyed to be up this late.
"I don't know let's just go and see.
(^)(^)(^)(^)(^
The two brother's and robot had arrived at the Summer, Ruby, Gogo, and Honey's apartment to see Wasabi and Fred at the doorway in their PJ's as well. Wasabi was wearing a green bathrobe and Fred was wearing a Superman onesie with a red cape in the back.
"The girls called you too?"asked Tadashi as Wasabi and Fred nodded.
"Yeah they said something was up with Summer and that they couldn't explain it, and they sound worried so we came as fast as we could" said Wasabi with a yawn.
"I was watching Batman marathon and drinking caffeine, so I'm fine" replied Fred shaking with energy.
"I just hope Summer's ok" said Hiro as Baymax knocked on the door. a few seconds later Ruby appeared in the doorway wearing black silk PJ's.
"Oh thank the stars you guys came" she exclaimed with a sigh of relief.
"We're sorry to have had to drag you out so late but we have no idea how to deal with the current situation" said Gogo appearing in the doorway in a purple top and blue shorts.
"It's fine what's going on with Summer?" asked Hiro. Ruby and Gogo paused and looked at eachother.
"You should see for yourself" replied Ruby as she and Gogo lead the boys to the door of Honey and Summer's room where Honey herself, who was in a pair of bright pink PJ's was looking through the slightly cracked door of her and Summer's room. She turned to the others with Zwei in her arms and had a worried look on her face.
"Just to warn you this will be a bit shocking" she said. The boys took a breath and entered the room with Ruby, Gogo, and Honey in front and once they entered the room their jaws dropped to the ground.
All around the room along the sides of walls were holographic white, red, Lavender, and royal blue roses with silver outlining on them. There were holographic silver butterflies flying all over the room with the same silver highlight, they were landing and flying around the roses. There was also a holographic small blue pond in the middle of the room with holographic pink lotuses that all had the same silver highlight that the butterflies flew above gracefully. Finally sleeping in her pod, which had a mattress in it as a makeshift bed was Summer, her eyes were wide opened glowing with white light and she was smiling happily.
"What's going on?" asked Tadashi in wonder as he reached out and touched one of the blue roses with his real hand but when he did he didn't feel the delicate flower at all, instead his fingers went right through it without messing up the rose and when they did Tadashi felt such bliss, similar to the feeling he had when he touched the fire Summer had made when she cried "tears of silver" after thinking she saw Hiro die.
"We don't know, I woke up to hearing water flowing and it turned out to be the pond here, and the weird thing was that when I tried to touch the water I didn't feel a thing, and when I turned to look at Summer I saw her like that. I tried to wake her up but it didn't work" replied Honey petting a very anxious Zwei in her arms.
Hiro looked at the beauty that surround them as he let one of the silver butterflies land on his finger, Summer's incredible abilities never ceased to amaze him but this new power left him concerned for Summer's safety.
"You think this is another silvered power?" he asked examining the butterfly on his hand.
"That's what it seems like, the silver lining around everything seems to give it away" stated Gogo as Fred pumped his fist.
"Awesome a new silver eyed power, we have to write this in the notebook! the blond boy exclaimed as Wasabi rolled his eyes.
"Ruby, has anything like this happened before? Maybe if it has we can find out how to wake her up" said the physics major. But Ruby's focus was on the holographic garden and pond, her face was painted with shock and understanding.
"Ruby are you ok?" asked Hiro as Ruby continued to be silent and approached the magical seen.
"This was… our mother's garden" she stated shockingly. Everyone's eyes widened. "What?" they all asked in unison.
"This was our mother's garden Summer used to come here all the time back on Atlas, mom grew it. When she started it she planted blue roses for her, Lavender ones for our aunt and when our mother married our father she put Lye rens in the small pond here" said Ruby pointing to the lotus filled pond and the blue and Lavender roses.
"And when Summer was born she added white roses and finally when I was born she added red roses" Ruby continued in a soft happy tone as if she was in a joyful memory. "Summer came to this place all the time to keep the garden alive, she would also work on her inventions, read, train you name it" exclaimed the younger Rose else in the group nodded, they understood how this holographic garden made Ruby feel but they still didn't get a few things about this predicament.
"Why though, why is Summer's power making this?" asked Tadashi as Baymax waddled closer to Summer's bed and scanned her.
"Summer is definitely experiencing another silver eyed power that appears to allow her to make holographic images from memory maybe even if it adapts, imagination" said the robot. Everyone then stopped and realized they were seeing something from Summer's memories.
"Baymax, what triggered this power?" asked. Baymax blinked and started to explain. "this incident has been caused by self questioning and homesickness" replied the robot. everyone looked at eachother.
"Homesickness, that means she misses Atlas, and the self questioning…." Hiro trailed off in thought.
"She could be thinking about singing in public, weather to do it or not" offered Honey.
Suddenly Summer started to toss and turn in her sleep, making the people around her freeze on the spot, but Summer didn't wake up. Instead the seen changed, now the rose garden was fading away and replaced with the seen of a baby's bedroom with a holographic purple cradle in the middle of the room with holographic toys, something that looked like a rocking chair, and a diaper changing area.
"What's it supposed to be now?" asked Wasabi. Suddenly they heard a noise that sounded like humming. Everyone turned to see a holographic young woman in a royal blue cloak and hood holding a small holographic bundle in her arms. The woman in the blue cloak had long brown hair like Summer's except not bangs, she wore a black long sleeve shirt, a black skirt with black stockings, she black laced up boots. But what stood out the most were her silver eyes.
"Oh my God is that…" GoGo trailed off as her gum fell out of her mouth.
"Yes. Me and Summer's mother, Midnight Rose" Ruby breathed as tears slipped down her cheeks.
"Ruby she is beautiful" Hiro exclaimed softly.
"What's that in her arms?" asked Fred dumbly.
"It's Summer. This is when she was a baby" Ruby proclaimed still teary. Tadashi raised his eyebrow
"How is this a memory? I thought babies did not have memories until they were two or three" he said. "This was a video on Summer's scroll. Mom took it when she sang to Summer for the first time" said Ruby as the holographic version of Summer and Ruby's mother walked around the holographic version of baby Summer's room with a smile on her face and started to sing:
"deep in the meadow under the willow a bed of grass a soft green pillow lay down your head and close your sleepy eyes and when again they open the sun will rise. Here it safe and here it is warm. Here the daisies guard you from every harm. Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow makes them true. Here is the place where I love you"
she sang happily. Hiro had heard Summer sing this song before. The voice of her mother was almost just as sweet and pure as Summer's. Ruby could see how breathless her friends were at the sound of her mother's voice.
"I told you Summer got her strong vocals from her mother" she replied.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Hiro saw a flash of light coming from the trees outside of Summer and Honey's window. He then turned to see Adam just outside on a tree branch taking pictures of Summer's holographic images with his red skull scroll.
"It's Adam!" yelled Hiro making everyone turn to look at the evildoer in the trees.
"Uh...What" said Summer groggily waking up and when she did the holographic forms faded away, but she still saw them. "What is this stuff? What are you guys doing here?" asked Summer seeing the four boys and Baymax.
"We will explain later. Adam has been spying on you!" yelled Gogo as Honey Lemon grabbed her chem purse and went after Adam with Tadashi in toe. "The rest of you stay with Summer and tell her what happened I'm going to help Honey" yelled Tadashi running out the window after Honey.
Adam jumped from tree to tree with Honey lemon and Tadashi on his tail. Honey kept throwing chem balls and missing the perp just by hair each time until she was finally able to to trap Adam's fake ankle in orange goo.
"Why are you spying on Summer?!" asked Tadashi getting the machine gun in his robot arm ready as did honey with a chem ball. Adam caught his breath and spoke.
"You don't ask the questions, I do now where is the Spring maiden?!" he asked harshly. Tadashi and Honey looked at each other and lowered their weapons a bit.
"You want the four maidens?" asked Honey.
"That's right and you will not stop her majesty Salem, she will kill all of you!" cried Adam, still trying to get his foot free.
"Tadashi and Honey looked at each other, the group had suspicious about Salem wanting the four maidens but they weren't certain until now.
"What does Salem want with them?" asked Tadashi sternly. Adam frowned at him.
"I'll never tell you!" he yelled taking out his red blade and setting himself free.
"Honey don't let him get away!" Tadashi shouted as Honey tried block Adam's way with a chem ball but failed. Tadashi shot at Adam with his robot arm but the evil dweller had vanished. "No he's gone!" the one armed prodigy exclaimed as he kicked a nearby tree.
"Hey, Hey!" Honey scolded as she put her hand on Tadashi's shoulder. "At least now we know for sure that Salem is after the maidens" she said with a sweet smile. Tadashi sighed and realized Honey was right.
"I guess you have a point, come on let's get back to the others there probably worried about us" said Tadashi. Honey nodded as they started to walk back. Just then a cold breeze blew by, Honey hugged herself to keep warm, she probably would've been warmer if she wasn't in her PJ's. Tadashi noticed Honey shivering and took of his cardigan and put on the blond girls shoulders.
"Thanks but you really don't have to" said Honey trying to hand the cardigan back to Tadashi who help up his hand.
"No you need it more than I do" he said.
"But your in your PJ's too" prompted Honey. Tadashi smiled sweetly. "I'll be fine we're almost there it's fine" he replied making Honey smile. "Ok thank you" she said making Tadashi blush as did Honey.

Once the duo got back to the apartment the group explained to Summer what had happened, how she activated a new power, how Adam appeared to have been spying on her, and how they now knew for sure that Salem was after the maidens.
Summer took all she had figured out in and sighed "I have a hunch of what Salem's planning to do with the maidens" she said.
"What is it?" asked Wasabi. Summer was silent for a minute and looked at Ruby who nodded.
"What is it?" asked Hiro. Summer took a breath
"Me and Ruby's father, Lye Ren, used to work for Salem" said Summer.
"WHAT!" everyone but Ruby shouted.
"Your father used to work for Salem!" Fred shouted.
"That's right. Our father was taken in by one of Salem's followers when he was an abandoned orphan on the streets. He worked for Salem, because he got food and shelter out of it. All he thought about was himself...until he met our mother. She brought him into the light and after that he told Ozpin about how she had plans to find the maidens and take their powers and give them to four of her most trusted followers and in doing so, she would have four great feats of magic on her side so she could destroy life. At least, that was her plan before. It could be different now, but I don't think so. Salem seemed to have stopped hunting for the maidens when war between Grimm and remnants started to come more often. At least, that is what Ozpin told us" said Summer.
Everyone was silent for a moment still shocked that Summer and Ruby's father had once worked for the most dangerous being in the universe.
"But wait. What do you mean by taking maiden's powers. I thought you could not do that because their power got passed down to the last one in their thoughts, and if it was not a young girl it would go to someone random" said Hiro. Summer and Ruby cringed.
"Well, Ozpin recently discovered that Salem can make black spider silk that can steal powers like the maidens. She would have to connect the maidens and the person that was getting the powers" said Summer.
"Our father gave Ozpin all the info he knew about Salem and her plans. Of course the wicked queen knew and tried to hunt down our father but she never found him. Our mother discovered a silver eyed power in her time and it was being able to put protection charms on locations and people" continued Ruby.
"And now that Atlas is gone and the next grim war is just on the horizon, Salem wants the maiden's powers to end life for good" said Gogo catching on. Everyone began to get antsy knowing that if Salem's plan worked, it would not end well.
"So what do we do? We have to warn Spring" stating a trembling Wasabi.
"Yeah, what if she is the first to go" cried Honey Lemon. Baymax scanned the group.
"Your worrying will only make the situation worse" said the robot.
"And I thought Spring was the maiden that couldn't die" Tadashi stated with his arms crossed. Summer looked down.
"That doesn't mean she has nothing that can kill her...Salem can't inherit the maiden's powers, because she has no aura which is what the maiden's powers are connected to, and that's why she wants four of her followers to have them. And about Spring's weakness. It is Salem's dark magic. And how Salem can steal magic with that black spider's silk can kill the maidens including Spring" Summer breathed. Everyone was silent. What could they say? They had just figured out the most likeliest reason to Salem wanting the maidens, but Hiro refused to let this get to him.
"We'll stop her. If there is one thing I have learned from Summer, it's that you should never give up, and you said Spring is always watching you. I'm sure she's on her guard, but what about your new silver eyed power. We saw your memories and Baymax said it is caused by homesickness, which was obviously from missing Atlas and self questioning. What's that from?" asked Hiro. Summer looked down.
"I want to sign in public again" she stated.
"Really? I can do your makeup-" Honey started but Summer held up her hand.
"I want to sing out in public but I am worried about missions, classes, and being there for all of it" said the silver-eyed girl. Her friends looked at each other.
"Well I can bring you our homework and tell you what you've missed" offered Hiro with a shrug.
"I can you mission info so you can help us analyze it" prompted Ruby. Summer quickly looked up.
"Really? You would be ok if I took Krei up on his offer?" she asked hopefully.
"Well if you really want to do this then we will stand behind it, even if you are taking a cheats offer" said Tadashi.
"Tadashi!" everyone shouted.
"What? It's true" the one armed prodigy snapped. Summer smiled.
"Ok I will do this for the people" said the girl in the white silk pajamas.
"Oh I can do your makeup" said Honey.
"I can do your hair" added Gogo.
"And I can pick out your outfit" stated Ruby. Summer smiled.
"I'll call Krei tomorrow."
"Wait. Hold on" said Wasabi holding up his hand. "What about the people getting suspicious of your name? Summer Rose and the White Rose. And what happens when they see you on stage and not slaying monsters. They'll surely figure out who you are" said the physics boy. Summer's face filled with concern.
"Oh. You are right, wait what if I use my holograms. I'm pretty sure I can use them to create a holographic version of myself killing a Grimm" she said.
"Are you sure you can do that? I mean you just uncovered this power" said Hiro. "Well you know learning comes very easy to me" replied Summer.
"Ok that's great, but what about the maidens!? Salem's after them we have to warn them!" exclaimed Tadashi.
"But they could be anywhere in the universe" Ruby pointed out.
"Oh hey a new adventure, let's find the other three maidens!" Fred cheered. Everyone looked at Summer who sighed.
"I guess we saw this coming I can build a pod that can carry four people, but I'll need help from everyone" said the silver eyed girl.
"Ok then everything's settled, we'll work on finding the maidens, Summer here gets to sing without her identity, classes, or missions getting in the way, *Whew* Ok I don't know about you guys but I've had enough for one night" stated Hiro breathlessly.
"Ditto, see you guys tomorrow" called Wasabi as he left the apartment with Fred in tow.
"Well Summer good luck with your call with Krei tomorrow, you're gonna need it" said Tadashi as he, Hiro, and Baymax headed home but not before Honey and Tadashi could share a secret smile.

Once Adam got back to Salem's hideout and went to the throne room, he told the evil queen everything about how Tadashi and Honey Lemon made him spill part of the plan to steal the maidens powers.
"Forgive me my lead, I was caught unitenchinoly by that stupid raven haired boy" Adam shouted in frustration as he bowed to Salem in the great hall. The Grimm queen paused for a moment.
"You are forgiven for this action Adam" replied the wicked queen leaving Adam surprised at that. "Your free to speak your mind" said Salem as if reading Adam's thoughts.
"I don't understand, I gave up part of the grand master plan, and why are we keeping Summer and her allies alive we're strong enough to take what we want by force!" Adam shouted as Salem put up her hand.
"That's enough, to answer your question, let these "children" know the plan and let them try and stop us. They'll never be able to, and don't ever underestimate the worth of others, Summer and her sister may be my only weakness but their brains and their friends skills could be of use to us. They know our plans for the maidens, and if Ozpin told the Rose sister's anything,which I'm positive he did than those two girls and their allies will surely look for the remaining maidens to warn them, thus leading us right to them" said Salem with a clever tone in her voice.
Adam paused and bowed again as Salem sat upon her throne. "What's our next move?" he asked. Salem smiled evilly.
"Like I said Summer Rose and her allies will most likely be looking for the maidens but we have to be certain, so I want you and Lavender to take the rest of the week to plan an attack on the Rose sisters and Big hero 6 that's absolutely perfect, make it "look" like you want to finish them but don't. And tell them our plan but make it look like an accident, when our foes know the plan we have to take the maidens powers they'll look for them and we'll simply follow and find a way to lower the maidens in to a trap, simple" replied Salem. Adam bowed deeper, forgive me for asking my queen, but why must lavender come what about her condition?" he asked. Salem frowned lightly.
"Because the last few missions I send you on including this one have left me somewhat concerned, your a worthy follower Adam but you mustn't let your rage against Summer Rose and Hiro Hamada ruin the plans we have to conquer and destroy which is why despite her condition Lavender will be fighting alongside you, in other words she's in line" replied the Grimm queen bitterly while petting a bear Grimm beside her in a gentle but sickening way. Adam frowned but then sighed.
"Yes your majesty, he said leaving the throne room to see Lavender waiting for him.
"Well Taurus should we start planning? she asked with a snicker, she had heard Adam's conversation with Salem.
"All I want is Hiro Hamada dead for falling in love with my Summer!" yelled Adam in pure rage. Lavender rolled her eyes.
"Let's just get started Salem gets anger when orders are not followed…

The next day Summer called Krei and took up his offer and was stuffed into a limo half an hour later with Gogo, Honey, and Ruby to prepare for her first concert.
Summer had quickly mastered the power of holograms as did Ruby who helped make a holographic version of Summer fighting a Grimm as the white rose, which worked like a charm fro missions Summer could not attend, which was pretty much going to be every mission from how Summer saw it.
"Oh this will go good with your skin!" exclaimed Ruby as she pulled out a dark blue dress from the wardrobe in Summer's dressing room where Summer herself sat in front of a vanity in a green dress with Gogo putting her hair in a tight bun and Honey doing her makeup.
"Oh you are gonna be so great out there!" Honey squealed while putting blush on Summer's cheeks, who's smile faded when she looked at the clock on the wall.
"Oh no I was supposed to meet Hiro make the ice bots, I have to go!" Summer exclaimed as she tried to leave the dressing room but Ruby blocked her sister's exit.
"Sis you can't go, this is your first concert!" she replied as Gogo stood beside her.
"She's right this is important, Hiro will understand" the girl with the purple streak prompted. Summer looked at her friend in disbelief.
"But you ice bots will never get finished" she pushed.
"Oh don't worry about that we're gonna get a trip to Hawaii that's way better" said Honey putting a hand one Summer's shoulder for reasurece.
"And your still getting me a new bike, right?" asked Gogo.
"I- Summer started but was cut off by Ruby. "And don't forget to get me that new equipment for my plazma radiator" she reminded. Summer bit her lip starting to feel overwhelmed
"Yes of course but remember I'm doing this to inspire- Summer started but was cut off again, this time by Krei's assistant.
"Miss Rose it's time to go on stage!" she said as she left the dressing room in a flash. Summer sighed.
"Alright wish me luck she said to her friends and sister as she went up on stage.
