"Everyone got the plan?" Hiro asks. The rest of the foster kids look at each and nod, Chip a little later than the others.

"Chip?" Hiro asks, narrowing his eyes.

"Uh, yeah bro, totally." Chip says in a rather unconvincing tone.

"Chip!" The rest of the foster kids cry.

"Okay okay go over it just one more time." Chip says wearily. Everyone groans as Hiro face palms, glaring at Chip.

"Now, is everything set?" Hiro asks, making sure he was wearing his ripped jeans and t-shirt. His hoodie was safely folded inside his backpack.

"Yeah, we all got our worst pair of clothes out." Chip reports. All the kids were clad in ripped and faded fabric.

"If anyone's backing out, they gotta do it now." Hiro warns. Silence followed and Hiro nodded, pulling out rope from under his and Chip's bunk bed.

"No going back." Hiro says. "Group A, follow me outside. Group B wait for the signal and group C wait for group B's signal. Got it?" He asks.

"Got it." Chip and Rodney say, being the leaders of groups B and C respectively.
"There's more rope in the closet if you need it. Group A, out!" Hiro called, marching out with his group.

"Rose, do you see what I see?" Mrs. Bell asks, looking at Hiro outside, tying himself and some of the other foster kids to the adoption center.

"No, what is- Oh my word! What is going on?!" Ms. Rose cries, rushing outside to get to the bottom of it. Mrs. Bell hid a smile, staying seated at Ms. Rose's desk.

"Hiro! What on Earth is going on?!" Ms. Rose demands, hands on her hips. She didn't receive a response.

"Hiro!" She cried out. When she didn't get an answer, she huffed and turned to the other children roped to the building.
"Rachel what is going on?" She asks, all business. Silence.
"Peter? George? Maple?" Ms. Rose tried, again not receiving anything except blank stares. Hiro then took his walkie-talkie and said "group B, your move."

"I don't know what is going on, but this is to stop at once! Hiro, your cab will be here in a few hours!" Ms. Rose reminds. Again, she was ignored.

"We got the signal. We're out." Chip says to his group, pocketing his walkie-talkie for the time being.

"Good luck." Rodney says with a nod.

"Thanks." Chip says, walking out with his group. They made it to the front desk when they saw Mrs. Bell sitting there. Figuring she'd leave soon, Chip ushered the others to proceed as planned. Rebecca tiptoed quietly to the wall and cut the phone cord with a satisfying smile. Chip signaled for Ricky to take Ms. Rose's phone. This was tricky because Mrs. Bell had not moved. She was engrossed in staring through the window to see what the children outside were up to, not wanting to move. The only upside was that she didn't notice group B.

Just as Ricky reached for the cellphone, it rang out, causing Mrs. Bell to turn to look at it, therefore causing her to take notice of the boy.
"Ricky?" Mrs. Bell questioned. "What are you doi- Chip? Rebecca? Wait, what are you all doing here?" She continued, noticing everyone else. They all were wide-eyed.

"You can't stop us. Hiro WILL see Tadashi again." Chip declared, puffing his chest out heroically.

"Stop?- wha- wait, you're doing this to help Hiro?" Mrs. Bell asked.

"Yes, and nothing you say or do will stop us." Chip announced, crossing his arms. Mrs. Bell looked out the window once more to see Ms. Rose looking enraged and made a decision.

"Alright. I'm in." She said.

"You're…in?" Chip asks, looking at his group for confirmation.
"Yes. Ms. Rose doesn't know what she's doing anymore. It's hurting Hiro. So I'm in." She says with a smile. Chip huddled around his group and whispered out "should we even trust her?"

"I don't think so. Wasn't she one of the people who tried to keep Tadashi away from Hiro?" Ricky asks uncertainly.
"Yeah, but what choice do we have?" Rebecca points out, looking at Chip.

"I don't know guys. I think we should ask Hiro." Chip says.
"He's busy. Look, he's fighting off Ms. Rose's threats and glares at the moment." Ricky mentions, pointing out the window.
"Fine, ask Rodney. Just make it quick. Mrs. Bell can still use her or Ms. Rose's cellphone to call someone." Rebecca reminds quickly. Chip agrees, pulling out his walkie-talkie and contacting Rodney.

"So what should I say? Can we trust Mrs. Bell?" Rodney asks group C, having been informed of the current situation. Sophie began biting her fingernails, a bad habit she developed when she was nervous. The brunette looked around frantically, worried that the plan was already failing.

"I don't know Rodney, I feel like we should ask Hiro." Phil pipes up.

"There's no time. We can't waste another minute over this. Agree. That's our only choice. I think we can trust her. I've seen the way Hiro reacts to her." Strawberry says.
"I think Strawberry's right." Rodney says, turning his walkie-talkie on and telling Chip just that.

"If you don't stop this nonsense, I will have no choice but to contact the police!" Ms. Rose threatens. Hiro sends a slightly worried glance inside to see that Chip and the rest of group B were talking to Mrs. Bell. The raven haired boy hoped with all his heart that this wasn't poking any holes in his plan.

With the help of Mrs. Bell, group B removed the sim card from Ms. Rose's phone and successfully disconnected her computer from the Wi-Fi. Now there was no way she could call for help.

"Thanks for the help Mrs. Bell." Chip says, nodding.
"Anything to help Hiro." She says. "What now?"

"Now we head out and help Hiro and wait to give the signal to group C. That won't be for a while though." Chip says, leading everyone outside.

When they get outside, group A's eyes lit up and hope soared in their spirits. Hiro smiled and looked re-energized.
"Success?" He asks, also silently questioning about Mrs. Bell as well.
"Better." Chip says, nodding at the question.
"Ah, thank the heavens. Mrs. Bell, knock some sense into these children. They will not tell me what is going on." Ms. Rose says, looking relieved.
"They're fixing your mistakes." Mrs. Bell answers shortly. The kids all cheered and Ms. Rose only looked angrier.

"This is an outrage. I am calling the police!" She cries, storming toward the front door.
"Good luck! We disconnected your phone and internet lines!" Chip called, only fueling her anger.

Everyone watched as the woman attempted to use the home phone, her cellphone, and then computer. Her eyes were practically on fire and she ran outside, ready to give the children a piece of her mind when a news van pulled into the parking lot. Ms. Rose ran out to see what all the commotion was.

Hiro looked to the others and was met with confused glances. A news van wasn't part of the plan. A petite woman with a microphone shuffled out of the van along with a man with a camera.

"This is Penelope Winter reporting live from Ms. Rose's Foster Home. We are at the scene of what appears to be a chain of kids roped to the building for unknown reasons. Ma'am, what exactly is this for?" The reporter asks Ms. Rose.

"I have no idea, but could you please turn off the camera?" Ms. Rose asks, trying not to explode in anger. Blatantly ignoring her, Penelope turned to Mrs. Bell and asked her the same question. "Do you know the reason?"
"I'm afraid it's not my place to say. Ask one of the children." Mrs. Bell replied kindly.

Penelope then turned to the children, ushering the cameraman to follow her.

"Hi there little one. Can you tell me your name and why you all are chained to this building?" She asks.

"I'm Rebecca." She said shyly. "We're here to help Hiro." The girl answered, waving to the camera nervously.

"Hiro?" The reporter questioned.

"He's over there." Rebecca said, pointing to the raven haired boy. Penelope Winter quickly rushed to his side for the inside scoop.

"Wow, Tadashi! Hiro's on TV." Fred says. The five friends were at Fred's mansion playing Monopoly. Tadashi looked up from the board game and made a face.

"Fred, not now." He says, not believing him. Just then, Gogo punched him in the arm and popped her bubblegum in alarm.
"The nitwits' not joking around Tadashi, the fur ball is actually on TV." She says, eyes slightly widened at the screen.

"Turn it up Freddy!" Honey Lemon squeaks.
"Tadashi seriously, look." Wasabi says, Monopoly forgotten. Tadashi turned around and gaped at the scene in front of him.

"It IS Hiro! What's he doing roped to the foster home?! The screens headline was 'foster kids defending young boy'.

"Hiro was it? Can you tell me what it is exactly that you all are doing here?" The reporter asks from the TV.

"W-well, th-the kids d-decided to h-help me g-get my f-foster dad b-back." Hiro stuttered.

"What happened to him in the first place?" She asks encouragingly.

"T-there w-was a misunders-standing and I w-was brought back, b-but th-then everything was a-alright and I w-was ready to go back." He squeaked out.

"Then why didn't you?" Penelope Winter asks.

"She took me away from him." Hiro spat without a stutter, pointing at Ms. Rose who had grown pale in color.

"That's the foster home's owner!" Tadashi cried, watching in horror and awe.

"And you are?" the reporter asks.
"She's Ms. Rose, the home's owner and founder." Mrs. Bell says with a faux innocent smile. Ms. Rose looked like she wanted to murder Hiro.
While Penelope continued to question Ms. Rose and Mrs. Bell, Hiro was seen pulling out a walkie-talkie and speaking into it, though no one heard what it was.

"This is insane." Gogo breathed out.

"Tadashi, you need to go there!" Honey Lemon cried. The poor guy was too frozen in shock to do anything.

"Come on man, get a move on. If you go, this story will just get hotter. The more publicity, the better." Wasabi says.

"Yeah, I'll call a few people and get them to go down there." Fred adds. Seeing as the man wasn't moving, Gogo yanked Tadashi up and pushed him out the door.

"Go Tadashi!" She yelled.

"He's not moving. Lemme get the keys. We'll drive him." Wasabi says as everyone piles in the car.

"I wonder who's here." Penelope says, camera now off due to a break.

"That's Dashi's friend's car!" Hiro says, remembering with a smile.

"Tadashi's friend?" Penelope asks for clarification. Hiro nods excitedly.

They all watched anxiously as Tadashi emerged from the car and ran to the scene, a dopey smile when he saw Hiro and the rest of the foster kids.

"Dashi!" Hiro cried, wanting to run over to him, but knowing he couldn't. It had been so long. What was only a few days felt like years.

"Hiro. You bonehead. You could get into so much trouble." Tadashi said, but his smile gave him away.

"I know, but I was going to be transferred to another home if I didn't do this." Hiro explained.
"I'm so proud of you." Tadashi said with a bright smile. Hiro gushed and turned to the rest of the kids.

"They all helped me Dashi. Be proud of all of them first. They convinced me to keep trying." Hiro says.
"I am. I really am. So proud of all of you." Tadashi says. The kids wore appreciative smiles.

"Tadashi Hamada! You are not allowed here!" Ms. Rose shouted. "That is it. This is the final straw. I'm walking next door and using their phone to call the police since they don't know about this yet! Ms. Rose shrieked, running off. Hiro quickly reached to pull out his walkie-talkie and spoke, "Rodney, NOW!"

A powering down sound was heard and all at once, the lights in all the building in the streets shut off.

"Hiro, what did you do?" Tadashi and Penelope ask simultaneously.

"Not me. Group C. We had them destroy the power lines. Now there's no way she'll stop us." Hiro says proudly. Penelope squealed and quickly signaled the cameraman to start recording.
"Penelope Winter live at the scene of young Hiro and his friends fighting from being transferred to another home and seeking to live with his ex-foster dad once more. They have just shut off power lines in the area in an attempt to stop local owner and founder of said home from informing the authorities. Tadashi has just come to the scene as well. Thoughts?" She asks, moving the microphone to him.

"There were complications and I gave Hiro back. It is the worst mistake I ever made and when I tried to get him back, I was banned from seeing him. Hopefully this will change things." Tadashi says.

Just then, Ms. Rose came back, looking beat. Her hair was disheveled and her spirit looked broken. She collapsed to the ground and appeared to be crying. When sirens were heard however she peeked up and smiled viciously.

"B-but h-how?" Hiro questioned, looking suddenly afraid.

"Yeah, we cut the power lines." Rodney exclaimed, running over to the scene with the rest of group C.

"They probably saw it on the news Hiro." Tadashi explains, looking just as fearful. Hiro looked like he had seen a ghost when the cops piled out of the squad cars.

"Alright that's it little boy. We're shutting this thing down." An officer says, looking at Hiro.

"B-b-but-

"No buts son. This is serious stuff. Now you're going to be transferred tomorrow, first thing in the morning and that's all there is to it." He says. Tears welled up in Hiro's eyes and he looked back to the other kids as if to say it was over. This was it.
"End of the line guys. I'm sorry Chip." Hiro whispered shamefully. Chip shook his head and placed a hand on Hiro's shoulder.

"You did great Hiro. You still fought for what you thought was a lost cause. You had a total Braveheart moment." His friend said with a nod.

Hiro looked up in surprise as the rest of the kid nodded and began chanting "Braveheart! Braveheart! Braveheart! Braveheart!"

"That's enough!" The cop ordered, more officers going around and cutting the rope.

"Braveheart! Braveheart!" They continued, ignoring the officer. The cops looked angry, but Ms. Rose was satisfied.

The last word Hiro heard before he was forced into his room was the sound of Tadashi's voice over the chanting, yelling out "Hiro! I've never been more proud of anyone in my life!"

He could've sworn he saw tears too, but maybe they were just his own. All in all, it was bittersweet moment.
