Well, after four chapters, here comes some action! And a disclaimer- I'm going into some serious, heavy territory-including torture. And like before-I will not apologize for that. Now that that's covered, and the warnings administered, on to the story!

That night, Serena met with the Black Dragon gang. She said, "I must commend you, gentlemen. Though the drone lost out quarry, we know where he goes to roost. Here."

She showed them a photo of the Lucky Cat Café. She said, "The owner is a 'C. Hamada'. Could be his mother, sister… some relationship. Find out who this is."

Kanagi, the boss, said, "Of course. And then?"

Serena said, "Use this person to draw out Hiro. I don't have to tell you how to do that…or what you can do."

Kanagi nodded, and said, "Consider it done." He and his gang then left Serena's office.

Meanwhile, after spending the night at Cass's, and in each other's arms, Hiro and GoGo decided to head for the San Fransokyo Institute of Tech. A black sedan-parked in an alley across the street- watched the two geniuses leave the café. One of the men said, "OK…let's find this 'C. Hamada'."

They watched Hiro and GoGo leave, then headed to the café. The door chime rang out, and Cass turned-to see three men dressed in black walk into the café. Another couple got up and left. Cass felt a shiver run down her body-but she mustered her courage and said, "Welcome to the Lucky Cat Café!"

One of the goons looked at Cass's chest, and saw her nametag. He said, "'C'-for 'Cass'…You're the one we want."

Cass said, "What…what are you talking about?" Another one said, "You're related to Hiro Hamada?"

Cass replied, "And what has my nephew done now?"

The men stood, and her eyes widened with fear. The main thug said, "You're coming with us, Miss Hamada."

Cass said, "Oh, no I'm not! Baymax!" At that, the robot activated. Within micro-seconds, he processed the sound-he determined it was a sound of distress. And not one of someone in pain, but danger. He activated his 'Battle Armor', and appeared in the café. Baymax said, "I am here, Aunt Cass."

The three thugs considered the situation, and one pulled out a metallic disc. He threw it at Baymax's chest. Baymax said, "I do not recognize this device."

The thug-boss said, "It's an electric overcharge. It will overcharge your battery beyond capacity-then drain your power cells." The disc crackled, then flooded Baymax's power cells. Then, the medic-bot powered down. They turned to Cass, and said, "And now for you…"

While Baymax was going through his power issues, one of the thugs slipped behind Cass…and delivered a chop to the back of her head and neck-knocking her unconscious. He picked her up, and they headed to the black sedan. They dumped Cass in the trunk, and the sedan sped off. One of the thugs picked up a phone, and spoke, "We have the package."

While this was happening, Hiro and GoGo met the others at SFIT. Rather than meeting in the open area, they gathered in Hiro's office. Hiro said, "Alright, everyone. So we got info about Serena Sonikos. But we also got more questions about what's happening, and not too many answers."

Fred said, "Yeah? Like why would she rob her own factory? And for things she doesn't even need?"

Honey said, "Hey-remember when I said it might be a ploy or a set-up? What if this was something to draw us out?"

Hiro replied, "Why would someone try to draw us out?"

Wasabi said, "Maybe not us…maybe you, Hiro."

Hiro said, "Why me?"

Fred said, "If we knew what her endgame was…we'd know what we're up against." A chime rang out, and Fred said, "Hey, I wonder who's calling me?"

He pulled out his phone, and took the call. The others watched Fred as he didn't speak into the phone. He disconnected the call, and said, "One of my clandestine contacts just gave me some bad news."

GoGo said, "What? We possibly have someone coming after us, and it's more bad news?"

Fred said, "Yeah. A criminal organization known as the Black Dragon was spotted in San Fransokyo. These are some of the baddest guys in the criminal underworld. They will take any job for any pay."

Hiro said, "And I'll bet dollars to donuts that they're aligned with Serena. Look, guys…the danger level has just ramped up. So…if any of you want out…"

Wasabi said, "No way, Hiro! I'm in."

Honey said, "So am I."

Fred said, "Me too, bud!"

GoGo said, "Hiro-none of us want out. We're going to see this to the end."

Hiro looked at his friends, and smiled at them. At that moment, the phone rang.

Everyone looked at Hiro, as he got up and grabbed the receiver. He spoke, "Hello?"

Another voice-gruff and forceful-said, "Hiro Hamada?"

Hiro replied, "Speaking. And who are you?"

The voice replied, "Who I am is not important. But there is someone who is important…" There was silence on the phone-then another voice spoke…"Hiro? Hiro? Please, help me!"

Hiro's eyes widened-there was no way he didn't recognize his aunt's voice. The other voice spoke, and said, "She's fine…for now. But how long depends on you."

Hiro said, "And what do you want?" The voice answered, "In 20 minutes…a black sedan will arrive at your location. You will be alone. You will get in. You will not speak to anyone. You will be delivered to the location. And you will not deviate from these instructions. Or something bad will happen to your aunt…or maybe…something worse. She's rather pretty…and the boys haven't been around a woman in a while."

Hiro felt his anger rising…but he couldn't risk harm befalling Cass-the only living relative he had left. He disconnected the call, and said, "Guys…there's a new development."

Honey-the most empathic-could already tell what happened. She said, "Oh, no…what are you going to do?"

Hiro said, "I'm doing what they ask. If I go along with them…they will let Aunt Cass go."

GoGo said, "Hiro…"

Hiro then looked up, and said, "Something had to happen to Baymax. Guys-go to the café and check on him. See if you can find out anything."

Fred said, "And you?" Hiro said, "I'm going with them. I can only hope they keep their word."

Wasabi asked, "And if they don't?" Hiro looked at them-and they saw the same look in his eyes when he turned Baymax from the kind medic-bot into the attack-bot. He said, "Then what I will give them will make the fury of Hell seem like nothing."

At the exact time, Hiro walked out. A black sedan pulled up. The side door opened. Hiro said, "Here I am."

One of the thugs said, "Put this on." Hiro grabbed the black hood, and put it over his head. The black sedan then pulled off. After several minutes of driving, the car stopped. Someone reached into the car, and pulled Hiro out. Hiro was pushed into a building-he knew it because he went from feeling the sun to not. A voice-in fact, the same one on the phone-said, "Kneel, boy."

Hiro exhaled, and did as asked. The hood was then pulled off of his head. It took a few moments for Hiro to acclimate to his surroundings…he realized he was in a warehouse. There was a pair of manacles around his hands, and those were attached to a chain to the floor. Hiro said, in a low yet dangerous tone, "Where's my aunt?"

Another voice-this one definitely feminine-said, "Bring out the aunt!" At that, two of the Black Dragon thugs brought Cass out. Hiro saw her, and was glad she hadn't been harmed…yet. She ran up to him, and said, "Oh, Hiro…baby…I'm so sorry."

Hiro said, "It's OK. They were after me." The feminine voice spoke again, "Right you are, Hiro!"

At that, she appeared-fair skin contrasted with raven hair. She was tall, buxom, shapely…and Hiro
would have been attracted if he wasn't already with GoGo. Hiro said, "And you must be Serena."

Serena replied, "Yes. Serena Sonikos. But you may call me…the Syren. And now…we are together. We will be the ultimate power couple!"

Hiro said, "Look…I'm already in a relationship…but I did as your goons asked…so could you let my aunt go?"

Serena said, "Oh no…your refusal wasn't part of the deal. So you will join me."

Hiro said, "Not gonna happen." Serena replied, "Oh, how unfortunate. I was hoping you wouldn't refuse me."

Hiro said, "And what will you do?" Serena replied, " I have discovered that…pain…is an excellent motivator."

Hiro said, "Oh? Nothing you can do to me will make me change my mind." Serena said, "I counted on this. That's why we grabbed your aunt." Serena snapped her fingers, and two thugs dragged Cass to a large metallic 'X'. They strapped Cass's arms and legs to the restraints.

Upon seeing the fear in his aunt's face, Hiro began to thrash-a futile action since he was restrained. One of the thugs said, "Here…let's get comfy…" He grabbed Cass's shirt, and ripped it open. There were loud catcalls and whistles. Hiro looked at Cass-and she said, "Whatever happens to me, Hiro…don't you go with these bad people!"

The thug spun, striking Cass across her face. Another thug grabbed a bottle of water, and brought it to Cass. Instead of giving it to her to drink, he poured it down her chest. He then pulled out a stun-stick…and jammed it into her side, sending several hundred thousand volts into her. She released a scream of agony-which caused Hiro to thrash against his restrains more fiercely.

One of the thugs said, "Hit her again!" The thug with the baton was more than eager-and jammed Cass with the baton a second time. Serena grabbed Hiro's chin, and forced him to look. She said, "We can stop this-just say yes!"

Hiro looked at his aunt-who shook her head, as a sign. Hiro said, "No…no…" Serena said, "I was hoping it wouldn't come to this." She looked at Kanagi, and said, "Strip her!"

Hiro looked up, and said, "What?"

Serena said, "We've been far too gentle. So let me tell you what's going to happen now. We are going to strip you aunt naked. Then my friends are going to take turns…ravishing her. And we're going to make you watch every moment. Then we'll test how resistant you are."

Hiro said, "NO! Stop. Please…please…no more." Serena snapped her fingers, and the thugs backed off. She leaned towards Hiro's ear, and whispered, "Now, was that so hard?"

Hiro looked at her, and she said, "Kanagi…show Hiro we are good at our word. Release the aunt." Kanagi motioned with his head, and the thugs undid the restraints. Cass ran to Hiro, embracing him. Serena said, "Sorry, 'Aunt Cass'-but Hiro belongs to me."

Serena then said, "Now…prepare yourself…for the song of the Syren!"

Whoa…intense, to say the least! I hope no one was turned off by this chapter…and I'm smashing clichés left and right! Instead of Hiro's love interest being threatened, it was someone else he cares about! But now…he's in the clutches of the Syren!
