Angel: *pinches nose tiredly* I'm going through midterms and a paper this week, so it took me a while to finish this episode. Hopefully next week will be more minimal from homework...

Fred opens up the door to the conference room as all the members of the team look exhausted. "Ugh, that was the longest mission ever," He takes a few steps forward and falls onto the ground.

"Almost there, you can do it," Honey Lemon encourages Baymax as she and the twins step into the room. Once again, Baymax is on low power due to being out on a mission for too long.

"Come on, Baymax," Hiro guides him as Hana waves her hands forward.

"Just a few steps and we'll get you all settled."

"My battery is... not low," Baymax insists, spinning around. "My battery's not low!" His chest plate falls off and Hana yelps as she steps back a bit, watching it fall in front of her. Wasabi walks into the room, looking just as tired as everyone else.

"It's a little low, Baymax," Wasabi tells him gently.

"You're a little low, buddy," Baymax points a finger at his chest with his fist, the rest of his armor slipping off. Mini-Max, also on low battery, lands on Baymax's hand.

"I'm a little buddy also," Mini-Max caresses Wasabi's cheek, his left armored fist slipping off. "And also low."

"Yeah, o-okay, definitely time to hit the charger," Hiro pulls them away from Wasabi, who rubs his cheek. He puts Baymax's feet on his portal charging case while Hana handles Mini-Max. Honey Lemon holds Baymax steady.

"They're my special children," Baymax hugs Hiro and Hana close, patting them on the head. The two just smile. They've heard him say all kinds of things on low battery.

"Yes, we know," Honey Lemon smiles softly at the three.

Fred adjusts Mini-Max's position from his charging case. "Lithium ions! Nom nom nom..."

Hana sighs a bit as she steps forward, rubbing her chin as she looks at her phone. Fred looks over her shoulder. "Ooh, another conspiracy board?"

"It's for trying to figure out why Hardlight is working with Noodle Burger Boy and his family," She gestures to herself and her brother. "Which so far wouldn't make any sense."

"Maybe it's Obake or Trina behind it," Hiro frowns deeply.

"No, this doesn't really seem like something either of them would do..." Hana shakes her head. "And definitely not Di or Chris either, they're still in prison..."

"So why would they work together?" Honey Lemon asks the two and Hana looks at the picture from her phone. It's similar to Hiro's Obake Conspiracy Board, but in the sense of finding out what she has to do with the attack on the Lucky Cat.

"Because they're everyone's special children!" Baymax steps out of his dock again, laying his body over Hana's head.

"I don't know, maybe they want something from us..." Hana mutters as she pushes Baymax off.

"It wouldn't surprise me after...well, the last two big villains we've faced," Hiro gives a deadpan look.

"I'm not sure if Hardlight knows Noodle Burger Boy's intentions with Hana," Wasabi speaks up, getting their attention. "Maybe-"

The news broadcasts from Basemax's screen, showing Bluff Dunder and four images of the rogue evil mascots, including NBB.

"Noodle Burger Boy and his malicious mascots ransacked a local electronics store today. Looks like they made a clean getaway with a shipment of Sergeant Suction robotic vacuums."

"Speak of the devil," Hana puts away her phone.

"Why would they want vacuum cleaners?" Honey Lemon wonders as they watch.

"Probably something stupid," GoGo glances at her from up front.

"It's definitely not for Hardlight," Hana murmurs, glancing away.

"We better find out," Hiro speaks up.

"Oh, my foot is long," Baymax is trying to put his helmet on his foot, which Hiro takes away.

"You have to stay here to charge," He pulls Baymax up, and the robot ends up on his back.

"I am healthcare companion..."

Hana walks up to the two, pulling Baymax backwards into the case. Hiro sighs in relief for her help.

"But how can we do justice out there if we are locked in here?" Mini-Max stumbles away while wearing Baymax's helmet. The twins chase after him.

"Hey!" Hiro calls out to him.

"What?" Baymax steps out of his charging case and the boy chases after the larger robot next.

"No, no, no, no, no!" He places Baymax in his charging case again.

"Stay," Hana warns the two of them politely, pointing at them both. Baymax's upper half then falls on top of her again.

"Whoopsie daisy!"

"Oh boy," She murmurs as she pushes him off gently, helping Hiro guide him to stand straight.

"We know you want to help, but not in this condition, okay? It'll be fine," Hiro smiles at him.

"You guys need power, and it's gonna take minutes that we don't have time to waste," Hana tells them softly as if she's talking to Mochi. "Bye guys, love you and have a good rest."

"Good Hana Banana," Baymax brings her in for a hug, patting her head. "You're a nice cinnamon roll."

She smiles again, deciding to let those pass this time since it's Baymax on low battery. "Thanks Baymax."


"For the last time, you don't have to sweep for the human misters anymore!" NBB exclaims to the vacuum cleaner that they 'kidnapped,' having brought it to the subway tunnels. They just think it's another mascot to recruit. Hangry Panda stands in front of him.

"Tell those suckers to inhale their own dust!"

Sergeant Suction just blinks since it can't talk or do much of anything else unlike the mascots. The main difference being that it's a product and not an actual talking mascot.

"You're free like us now!" Hyper-Potamus spins around in the air.

"What are you doing?" GoGo asks in confusion, getting their attention.

"I think they're giving a pep talk to a vacuum cleaner," Honey Lemon answers her.

"More like trying to get it to join them, but...I don't think they realize the extent of a vacuum cleaner," Hana whispers to them.

"Sergeant Suction, destroy the heroes with extra cheese!" NBB pushes the vacuum forward, but it just smacks against GoGo's leg repeatedly. Then it moves around them and rolls off, disappointing all the mascots.

"Aw," They say in unison, slumping their shoulders.

GoGo charges first by throwing a disc at Hyper-Potamus. She jumps off her head and lands, skating away. Hyper-Potamus chases after her while flying.

"Fun fact, I mastered in agility!" She laughs, GoGo jumping over her and knocking her into a wall.

"Funner fact, tell it to the wall," GoGo replies smugly as her disc comes back to her.

"Fire blasting!" Fred aims his fire at Hangry Panda, who opens her mouth and swallows it. She then fires it back at him, causing him to stumble backwards. She jumps onto the supports, starting to chomp them off as he runs away.

"I'm gonna chomp the snacks out of you!" She calls out to him as he starts jumping, turning around once he stops.

"I don't have any snacks, so ha!" His eyes widen as he screams, jumping to another beam. The one he was standing on gets bitten in half by Hangry Panda.

NBB fires pickles at the twins and Hiro rolls away to avoid them. Hana creates a shield out of electricity to direct the pickles back at the robot to distract him for her brother. He fires two magnets, which the robot manages to dodge, but he wasn't the target. The magnets land at opposite walls and Hiro pulls backwards, launching himself forward to kick the robot backwards. Wasabi steps away from the robot, watching him roll backwards and disappear.

"Yoohoo!" Someone calls out from the ceiling and Wasabi moves away just in time. Crushroom lands where he was standing. "Sneak attack!" She lunges for him, only for a chem ball to trap her in a goop ball.

"Thanks for the warning," Honey Lemon states, moving her hands away from her chem purse. But Crushroom can still use her hands, which she uses to move towards the duo. They yelp and run away as she crashes into a wall. Crushroom rolls herself forward to chase after Wasabi and Honey Lemon, her fists breaking pillars in the process. Honey Lemon throws another chem ball and Wasabi yelps, ducking his head.

A wall of stone stops Crushroom from moving forward. Wasabi stands up to look at her.

GoGo flies in the air with a hover disc at her feet, joining the twins. Honey Lemon, Wasabi, and Fred land around them.

"Crushroom...crush!" Crushroom jumps into the air, heading towards the group. Wasabi activates two plasma shields, knocking her into the ceiling. The ceiling starts to crumble, causing them to gasp. Cracks reach a support pillar, knocking Hyper-Potamus backwards and she lands near the group. Once the shaking stops, Fred steps away as Crushroom lands between them.

"I think we're okay."

Except not, because the ceiling starts to cave in on them. A large piece falls towards Honey Lemon and Hangry Panda, threatening to crush them! The tall woman gasps as she looks up.

"Watch out!" Hana screams, pushing Honey Lemon and Hangry Panda out of the way. Rocks surround the girl and she seemingly disappears.


Basemax has a map of their location, and all six signals from them disappear from sight. A warning alarm goes off. "Warning, team link lost. Warning, team link lost."

"Hiro and Hana are in trouble," Baymax looks up at the screen, not even half charged yet, but he is fully inflated. He walks past Mini-Max as the alarm still sounds.

"Warning, team link—Baymax, attempting a mission with less than a full charge could be dangerous."

"When justice is riding shot-gun!" Mini-Max stands up, kicking away his charging dock. "Safely take us to the next scene."


The two robots take flight in the city with their armor on, but it's a bit difficult to stay steady since they're low on power.

"The twins' last known location was in the subway tunnels," Baymax reports to his smaller companion.

"We are low on juice, but ready to rumble!" Mini-Max declares and soon, they land in front of the cave-in that occurred. Baymax scans for the twins. "Hiro, Hana, and the others are trapped inside. Hana is stuck underneath some rocks. I also detect three robots inside with them-"

"Watch outside!"

They turn around to see NBB swinging forward. He kicks Baymax into the pile that the others are stuck in. Honey Lemon gets up first tiredly, dusting herself off. Hiro moves some rocks off him.

"Everyone okay?"

They hear grunting, turning around to see Fred and GoGo helping Wasabi get a rock off him. His armor is sparking.

"Fine," GoGo answers him.

"Fine?!" Wasabi exclaims in disbelief. "Guys, you call this fine? Trapped underground with three evil robots?" He gestures to the trio.

"We can hear your judgement," Hyper-Potamus has an annoyed look on her face. "And we didn't even get a chance to introduce our new father!"

"You mean Hardlight?" Hiro narrows his eyes. "Trust us, we got the message."

"Why even work together with him? You want to destroy one of our friends," GoGo clenches a fist.

"That dum-dum knows what we need him to know!" Hangry Panda retorts back.

The others glance at each other, wondering if they should even tell Hardlight that.

"Has anybody seen my purse?" Honey Lemon looks around for it, only to find Hangry Panda chewing on something. She spits out the destroyed chem purse.

"What? I chew things in stressful situations," She states, holding up the pieces to a disgusted Honey Lemon.

"Um, guys, where's..." Hiro falters as he looks around, seeing his sister right behind them a few seconds later. She's laying down on the tracks, her hair out of the ponytail as it's over her head. Her eyes are closed, but she's breathing. Half of her body is hidden underneath the debris that fell.

"Hana!" Hiro shouts as they rush over and bend down to her. She groans, moving her hair away from her face.

"Okay...being stuck in a vent and now being stuck underneath a pile of rocks is way less fun than it looks," She manages to say.

"We've gotta get her out," Wasabi turns to everyone, trying to activate his blades. Unfortunately, because some rocks landed on them, they're now inoperable.

"Uh oh, not good."

"Without Wasabi's blades or Honey Lemon's purse-"

"We're stuck," GoGo finishes for Fred. "And so is Hana."

"Great," She deadpans at this.

"Maybe we can lift her out!" Fred suggests and they surround the rocks, trying to pull them up to get her free.

"Guys, it's no use unless you work together," Hana looks up at them.

"She's right," Hiro punches a fist to his palm. "We need to work as a team to get her out." He steps forward and shakes Hyper-Potamus' hand. Honey Lemon smiles as she steps up to him, but still keeps her distance from the robotic hippo.

"I love working together! But keep away."

"Heroes and villains working together?!" Fred exclaims in glee, hugging Wasabi and GoGo. He jumps up and down as the mascots cheer.

"Yay!"

"Crushroom will crush now!" She turns around and punches through the wall.

"Crushroom, no!" Hiro calls out to her, but the warning is too late. The remains of the wall fall to reveal that she broke a pipe.

"Made a hole."

The water bursts out and propels her forward past the others. The broken pipe starts to fill the area with water.

"Crushroom, how about you, uh...maybe take a time out?" Wasabi suggests and she turns around in shame, looking towards the ground. It almost felt Mochi being punished by Hana for scratching her.

"Uh, guys?!" Hana exclaims from the pile, the water reaching her chin. "Still stuck here!"

"Hurry!" Hiro rushes over to her and all of them surround the girl. They would've asked Crushroom to get her out, but didn't want to risk something else breaking. "One, two, three, push!" The two groups push in unison to get the rocks off Hana. After a few seconds, their strength is enough to push some off her, which is enough to free her legs. Hana holds her breath as she crawls forward, emerging between her brother and GoGo completely free from the rocks. She coughs as she stands up, looking to the two groups thankfully.

"Thank you, guys..."

"Quick, get us out!" Wasabi calls out to her, but she touches her helmet to find her bolts missing. She sighs slowly at the irony, because the two bolts are sitting right outside...

"I can't get us out, I don't have my bolts," She gestures to herself. "They must've fallen out when I saved Honey Lemon and Hangry Panda!"

"So what do we do then?" Honey Lemon frowns a little, and unfortunately there is no answer.

"Alley-oop!" NBB attacks with a metal claw, Mini-Max flying out of the way. "With our special sauce!" He fires mustard and ketchup at the smaller robot, only to be knocked back by a rocket fist from Baymax. Mini-Max stops in front of the rock pile, Baymax scanning it.

"My scan indicates the chamber is filling with water," He lifts up his arm to gain his hand back. "In 8 minutes, it will be completely flooded."

"But our compatriots are oxygen-dependent!" Mini-Max exclaims at him and NBB comes back, feeling panicked.

"My whole family will short-circuit!"

Hana perks up at the sound of Baymax's voice, running up to the part where water is dripping out. She peeks through the rocks to see the trio of robots.

"Baymax! Guys, it's Baymax and Mini-Max!"

"Hey! I'm here too!" NBB protests from outside.

The others cheer from inside and Baymax bends down to Hana's eye peeking out. "I will ensure that everyone is safe."

"But wait," Hana turns back around to the others as Hiro speaks. "They're still on low battery."

"Low battery or not, they might be our only hope of getting out of here..." She murmurs, crossing her arms as she realizes something. "And Noodle Burger Boy too, as much as I don't wanna rely on his help..."

"It is likely that our combined efforts would increase our chances of success," Baymax bends down to him.

"A Noodle Max combo?" NBB asks in confusion, turning around and walking away. "Not sure about that order. Plus it comes with the Hamada Twin that took away my family..."

"7.5 minutes," Baymax points out and the robot comes running right back.

"Alright, I'm in!"

"Excellent!" Mini-Max shouts in joy, jumping and landing on NBB's head. "Temporary chump!"

Baymax and NBB share a fist bump.

"Ba-la-la-" Ketchup squirts on Baymax's left hand, interrupting him from his usual phrase. "Oh."

"Ha ha!"

Baymax picks up a boulder, but not only is it too heavy, he doesn't have enough energy to really pick it up. "My battery reserve is too low to exert the force necessary to move the blockage."

"Stand back!" Mini-Max declares, waving his arms ready. "Mini-Maximum moving the debris time!" He takes one tiny rock and brings it away from the pile. He does the same thing again before falling flat on his face. Even if he had the energy to move them, it's become pretty clear that they wouldn't be able to move them all in time.

NBB places the vacuum down. "It's all up to you, Sergeant Suction."

"This is an entertaining waste of time!" Mini-Max states, swinging his legs as he sits on Baymax's shoulder.

"There is a 0 point 0 percent chance your plan will work," Baymax informs their temporary ally.

"You misters are being too negative style!" NBB tells them in a nagging way. "I am a shake half full kind of boy." He puts Sergeant Suction on max power. "Feel the power!" He places the vacuum down, which charges at full speed, only to be knocked down once it reaches the pile. Hana sighs, pinching her nose at this.

"Did they really just try to free us with a vacuum cleaner?" GoGo questions in disbelief from behind.

"Yeah..." Hana tsks slightly, having seen the whole thing.

"SARGE!" NBB shouts in dismay as the device is now beyond repair. He spits out pickles and Baymax pats the head.

"There there," He tries to assure the little robot, who looks up at him.

"What now, mister?" The little robot asks sadly, sounding like a kicked puppy.

"You guys have to look for a new angle!" Hana encourages them, Hiro nodding in agreement with a small smile. It makes him a little happy that Hana is taking that advice here and trying to implement it. "Think of something that could get us out without having to use your own abilities, like...I dunno, magical 70 feet of hair that glows?"

"...What?" Hiro turns to her, baffled at her suggestion.

"Hey, if Honey Lemon had that kind of hair, it'd be glowing right about now!" Hana briefly glances at him.

"I believe that Hana is suggesting that we find our own solution. I have a possible solution," Baymax holds up a finger.

"Whatever it is, don't give up while doing it!" Hana points at them.

"Hana is way too pumped up about this," Wasabi shakes his head.

"Shut up, Wasabi! I'm in the zone!" Hana scrunches up her nose in slight annoyance.


Steamer is enjoying some pudding in his lair, humming in delight at the taste. "Rice pudding. Is there anything more scrumptious?"

"Many things!" He drops his spoon at the voice of Mini-Max as the three robots have arrived. "How about pigs in a blanket?"

"Baron Von Steamer, we would like to borrow your drill car," Baymax gets right to the point, pressing his hands together. NBB does the same thing as they bow. "Please."

"Loan it to heroes?" He glances at his drill nearby. "Never! You'll have to pry the keys from my metallic steam-driven hand!" He mockingly holds up the keys.

"If it's a fight you want...your order's coming right up!" NBB declares, charging forward.

"Bring it on!" Steamer challenges and when he reaches the robot, he grabs him and throws him away.

"Mini-Maximum brawl!" Mini-Max jumps off of NBB and then rolls underneath the mechanical arm. He hits the arm to knock the keys out of his hand. When he goes in to grab them, Steamer throws the rice pudding on him, knocking him backwards. While blind, he still manages to fire a tiny rocket fist to get the keys out of Steamer's hand again. He reaches out to grab it, pickles being fired at him to make him slip. NBB grabs the keys with a clawed robot arm, running away. He bumps into Baymax, and the keys fly out of his hand and into the air.

Mini-Max removes the bowl of rice pudding, taking flight. "Freedom!" Steamer pulls out his steam gun to knock the small robot away from the keys. Steamer jumps up and takes the keys, only for NBB to smack them away. He fires ketchup at the keys, and they go flying onto Baymax's finger. Steamer hits him and reaches his hand out to the keys that are too far away for him to get in the air. Mini-Max flies in and gets the keys, but the steam gun causes him to drop them.


"Look, I found a way out!" Fred exclaims as the water level is about halfway up. He swims over to the spot he pointed at. "Ohh, sorry, that was just a shadow. Wait, you guys, look it's a—no, another shadow. Hang on, I think...!"

"Shadow?" Hangry Panda asks GoGo next to her.

"Shadow," She answers simply, and she doesn't even have to look.

"Guys, we gotta have faith in our friends...and Noodle Burger Boy just this once, but I think they're onto something," Hana turns around from behind Hiro.

"You don't even know what it is," Hangry Panda turns to her.

"I don't have to! I know they can do it," Hana pumps her fists. "We just have to believe in all of them!"

"That's the spirit!" Honey Lemon smiles in agreement.

"Maybe you have a point," GoGo seems to agree too.


Steamer is knocked across the room, looking up at the trio. "Three against one? No fair!" He grabs a lever nearby. "Let's even the odds." He pulls it to be transported away, and Baymax knows fully well where that tube leads to.

"Oh no."

"Oh no what, mister?" NBB looks up at him.

The mechanical spider that Big Hero 7 has faced before lands in front of them.

"Oh no that!" Mini-Max points up at it.

"Whoa, that's a big order, b-but it's nothing we can't handle!" NBB exclaims nervously. Unfortunately, both Baymax and Mini-Max have now gone into low battery mode.

"Ooh, spiders creep me out. So many legs," Baymax wobbles around, NBB staring at them in confusion...not that his face could emote that.

"Is anyone else cold?" Mini-Max staggers over to the mascot robot. "Can I get a blankie?"

"Get it together, guys," NBB gently pushes the shorter robot away from him. Steamer laughs and he looks up at the villain.

"You're running low on power! Unfortunately for you, the Baron never runs out of steam!" The spider device leaps forward as he lets out a maniacal laugh. Once it lands, the mechanical spider sends the three flying. He hits NBB, who uses his claw arm to swing around a pole and come back around. He fires his laser eyes, missing the spider device. He throws Mini-Max into NBB, who throws the robot off him.

"Gee whiz!"

He gets pinned by one of the mechanical spider's legs. "I could use your help! At the register!"

"I-I have to save my buddies Hiro and Hana," Baymax slowly looks up at NBB. "They're my companions." He stands up, but can barely keep himself straight as he steps forward. Steamer raises a leg to attack, and Baymax just barely avoids it. "Hello...my name is..." He avoids another attack and Steamer growls out of frustration. He thought he had an advantage, but the robot can't stand still to make this fun for him.

"Impossible!"

"My name is Baymax," Baymax says as he ducks again. Steamer continues attacking him with a hammer, but the robot is spinning around to avoid it. He jumps onto the hammer and Steamer throws him into the air. Baymax slides down the spider.

"Hey!"

While wobbling, he manages to hit Steamer and he goes flying backwards. Mini-Max blinks at the sight in front of him. "You...are surprisingly effective," He lands on his back while Baymax trips on NBB's legs, rolling on the floor.

"Hey sugar," NBB stands up. "Try our dessert special! Hot laser pie!" He jumps up and fires his lasers, cutting off a leg. Baymax lands on the ground, slamming a fist on the floor.

"Bad fist."

"Come on, mister!" NBB runs over and shakes him. "Get up!"

"What are you doing?" Steamer asks the robot in disbelief. "I thought you were a villain! Let's destroy them together!"

"Baymax...p-personal healthcare companion..." Baymax murmurs, NBB staring at him. "I am Hiro and Hana's companion..." His camera messes up to show a picture of the twins. They're in the garage together, doing some homework. Hana is hugging her brother's neck from behind, smiling as she's holding a bag of gummy bears. "They are my companions..." The lens flickers between the image and NBB. "Help me...save my family...Hana...is counting on us..."

He falls in front of NBB, shutting down. NBB slightly holds his arm, touched. He may hate Hana, but the bond that she shares with her brother and Baymax is clearly strong.

"He just wants to help his family..."

"Poppycock!" Steamer dismisses the explanation. "Robots are merely doohickeys with faces! They can't have families!"

"Family isn't about blood or those bones in your mouth. It's about what's inside!" He opens up his head, reaching inside for something. He holds up two jumper cables and attaches them to Baymax. Then he does the same to Mini-Max, jump starting both of them.

"Mini-Maximum fast charge!" He jumps up heroically. Baymax stands up with a wave.

"Hello, I am Baymax."

Steamer growls and attacks again, the two robots ducking out of the way. "Baymax..." Mini-Max leaps and lands on the fist. "Rocket fist!"

He fires it with Mini-Max on top. "And mini fist!" Mini-Max fires his own rocket fist, which has no effect on the mechanical spider. That is, until Baymax follows it up with his own fist. This breaks the window and sends the keys flying out of the mechanical spider. Steamer slides back, defeated as Baymax holds up his hand to get his fist back. He and Mini-Max share a fist-bump.

"Ba-la-la-la-la-la," They say in unison.

"Thank you, Noodle Burger Boy," Baymax tells him. He wobbles around, out of juice since he gave it to the two robots.

"Thank you...for visiting Burger Day!" He spins around, getting entangled in the cables and landing on his back.

"Oh."

Mini-Max grabs the keys and runs up to the drill. "In the name of justice, step on it!"


Everyone underneath the rocks is trying to hold up the ceiling as the water is past their waists now. "We don't have much time!" Hiro exclaims to them. The water reaches their necks and they try to bring themselves up further to avoid drowning. Wasabi takes a few deep breaths as Hana holds her breath. It seems all is lost until the drill pierces through the wall, letting out all the water. The level goes down, causing them to smile in relief. They touch the ground, looking up to see the drill open. Mini-Max jumps and lands in front of the drill.

"Farewell drowning, greetings not drowning!" Mini-Max greets them.

"Baymax!" Hiro exclaims as he and Hana run up to him.

"Hiro, Hana," He opens up his arms for a hug. "You are safe now."

"You did it!" Hana cheers for them, looking up at the robot. "I knew you could!" The others come in to join the hug.

"We are family!" Mini-Max declares from on top of Baymax's head.

"Yeah...we are," Hiro smiles up at them.

"Uh, Hiro? Hana?" Wasabi asks, pulling away. They look up to see the three robots walking up to them, ready to battle again.

"Hey, hey," NBB speaks up before any fighting could commence. He emerges from the drill, still low on power. "Howdy!" He rolls down the drill, landing between the two. "Don't-don't attack! They helped saved Noodle Burger Boy's family, you know what I'm saying? Family's important! And you guys are important to me! Oh, I need a hug. Someone hug me."

"You gave them a jump start just to help free us?" Hana blinks in surprise as she deduces what happened, glancing between him and the two robots. "Don't you...I dunno, hate my guts?"

"Family's important no matter what people do!" NBB turns around to her. Crushroom hugs him, followed by Hyper-Potamus. He looks to Hangry Panda standing alone.

"Yeah, I'm not really a hugger..." NBB wraps his claw arm around her and brings her in for the hug anyway. "Aw, you guys..."

"Goodbye!" Everyone else exclaims from inside the drill, escaping and caving them inside, though by accident. Hyper-Potamus blinks as they all wonder what just happened.


Hana plays with a pencil in her mouth as she's standing in front of her conspiracy board. Hiro places Baymax in his charging dock. Just before they arrived back home in the garage, Baymax's jump start caught up with him as he's in low battery mode yet again. At least it lasted him long enough to stop Steamer and set them free.

Dear journal,

I still can't shake the feeling that Hardlight is working with NBB. It's a little scary to think about, especially since Hardlight doesn't know that the robots aren't telling him the whole truth. Aunt Cass doesn't really talk about the attack on the café, and I don't blame her. I'm still shaking just from writing about it right now. I just-I know that they can strike us whenever they can, but now they have more help...it seems NBB will do anything to make sure I suffer for what happened to his family.

I wish I didn't have this hanging over my head over the fact that I'm technically responsible. I'm the reason why he even has a team, or that scary scar on his face...I just feel so guilty sometimes that...I have to hide it from people that I care about.

I don't know what I'm gonna do now...

"I can't believe they went to Steamer just to get his drill," Hiro speaks up to her, watching the girl wrap yarn around a thumbtack.

"And they shut down just to save us," Hana smiles weakly, walking up to Baymax. "Thank you again for getting us out of there."

"I'm a good boy!" Baymax hugs the twins and she pats him on the arm.

"Yeah, you are."

"But what must've kept them going is your faith in them," Hiro turns to her with a grin. "Even if the odds were against them."

"Of course. I'll always believe in my friends..." She murmurs, looking back towards the conspiracy board. "So far, none of this makes any sense. Hardlight is back and now he's teaming up with Noodle Burger Boy and his robots? Why?"

"Not to mention what Hangry Panda said about him knowing what they need him to know."

"Which means they're playing him, and are only pretending to work underneath him..." Hana rubs a temple.

"Yeah...and they mean business," Hiro sighs a bit. "But whatever happens, we have to protect everyone we know. And that includes not telling them."

"Not telling them?" Hana raises a brow. "I have to keep this a secret?"

"Yeah, we don't tell them that they're after you," Hiro gestures to herself. "The team knowing the truth is enough, but we can't risk letting anyone else know the reason behind the attack. E-Especially Aunt Cass!"

"You do know that Megan and Mikey were smart enough to figure out that we're superheroes, and he's my boyfriend. But..." She sighs deeply. "I see your point. I just hope that Hardlight won't hurt anyone connected to us just to get to me..."

Hiro pauses as she goes back to her board. She then looks up at the bunch of yarn connections: for example, pictures of Hardlight and the robots, the robotic Hardlight, and the pixel he left behind once.

"Are you...okay?" He asks slowly and she sighs a bit.

"You know how Noodle Burger Boy blames me for Trina and Obake?" She starts off, earning a wide-eyed look. Then his eyes soften. As much as Trina or NBB find Hana at fault, he never really thought of it that way. She may have given NBB that scar, and she may have sacrificed herself to save the city from another Great Catastrophe, but she wasn't the one who built the Buddy Guardians. Or started the robot revolution. Or even mind-controlled herself. "I can't help but feel like I'm the one doing all these things to San Fransokyo..."

"We don't even know what they plan to do," He places a comforting hand on her shoulder. "We'll stop them before Hardlight even gets close to you."

"Just because we don't know what they want to do to me, doesn't mean it's not happening regardless," She closes her eyes. "I'm pretty much attracting villains and the city keeps suffering for it because of my choices or even my presence. I don't know what to do..."

He guides her over to the couch and they both sit down. Hiro takes a deep breath, leaning over a little. He feels just as bad, and it's not even him that they're after. It...scares him sometimes, because they could go after anyone they know. They're unknowing targets for something that might as well be terrifying given the situation. True, NBB was following Obake and Trina, and didn't seem like much of a threat half the time, but they have Hardlight on their side. He kidnapped Hana and attacked the team.

"I know it's tough...but we can do this together," Hiro looks up at her. "Both of us have made mistakes, but what matters is how we deal with them. No one blames you for anything, Hana. Whatever these guys want...we have our family to help us. You don't have to go this alone. We've got this!"

"...You know what, you're right," She smiles softly at her brother. "Isn't the confidence-building my thing, though?"

"Yeah, but somebody needs to boost up the confidence-builder once in a while," He nudges her playfully, causing her to giggle.

"Hana," They look up to see Baymax waddling over to them. "You did not build the robots that stormed San Fransokyo, or attempted to melt the city. You are a good girl."

"Aww, thanks," She beams slightly at the robot. Hiro smirks and breathes his breath onto her face.

"Yeah, you're the best little sister in the world!"

"Hiro! Oh my god," She tries to push him away as he hugs her waist, breathing onto her more. "Stop! Pfft," She waves a hand in front of her face, laughing at how ridiculous he's being right now.

A video of the two at this moment stops as NBB, Crushroom, Hangry Panda, Hyper-Potamus, and Hardlight were watching.

"Disgusting," Hardlight narrows her eyes. "Why she feels like she needs those NPCs, I'll never compute."

In his eyes, her family and friends were a driving point behind her medical problems. After all, Hiro was technically why she got sick in the first place.

"Getting rid of humans didn't work last time, mister," NBB waves a finger in front of him. "Which is why my old family is gone!"

"In time, she'll understand that I'm only trying to help her," Hardlight brings his hands together, his right leg over his left. "And protect her from them deceiving her..."

Angel: I'm sorry if things are misspelled or aren't the right phrase, I either just made my own up or just didn't include it because I'm tired and it's only Wednesday...I want this week to be overrrr! Right now, I just feel like that time where I got sick in school in senior year and then I had to go home for the rest of the day, that was so awful XD
