Under a dark night with a glowing crescent moon, Class 1-A's Dance Team are practicing their dance choreograph under Mina and Luna's supervision inside the gymnasium. Tomorrow's finally the School Festival, so everyone began committing their final preparations for their musical performance.

Kirishima, Koda, and Sero observed the Dance Team from the floor. Their Effect Team and the Band Team stood behind the Dance Team.

"We'll have to clear outta the gym soon!" Kirishima said. "But we should have enough time for one more run through!"

Mina clapped her hands as Luna placed her hands on her hips.

"Look alive!" Mina instructed. "And one, and two, and three."

Ojiro, Selene, and Hagakure danced in perfect synchronization.

"And one, and two, and three." Mina said.

Iida danced rigidly while Izuku danced somewhat effortlessly.

"And pose!" Mina said.

Lastly, Mineta struck a pleased pose.

"Then Aoyama goes to the center and Midoriya books it offstage." Luna instructed.

"On it." Izuku said.

"Oui." Aoyama said.

"Midoriya, you're still lacking passion. So, bring the fire!" Mina lectured.

"Roger!" Izuku said.

"I was scared we were gonna seem like amateurs, but things are looking good." Sero said. "The band and dance teams are stepping up their games and putting in the work. Guess it helps that Ashido and Luna are merciless coaches."

"Yeah. Dancing's their thing, so they're taking this seriously." Kirishima stated. "I think Bakugo fired everyone up and not just the band members."

The Band Team started going over their musical roles.

"I'll admit, I am getting a little nervous." Yaoyorozu said.

"Hey, don't improvise during the actual concert." Jiro said to Katsuki.

"Huh?!" Katsuki questioned with an annoyed expression.

"It's just not everyone can keep up with you." Jiro replied.

"She's not wrong." Diana said.

"Yup." Aisha nodded.

Luna looked up at Izuku holding the rope in his hands on the boardwalk.

"Alright, Midoriya. When Aoyama's in place, get him in the air." Luna ordered.

Izuku activated One For All and started pulling the strapped Aoyama to the stretcher, dragging him up in the air.

"That's it! Perfect!" Mina said.

Then suddenly, Hound Dog bursted the doors open and entered the gym that startled all Class 1-A students.

"It's already 9 o'clock!" Hound Dog barked. "Students should've cleared out of the gym by now!"

"Crap. Let's beat it." Kirishima said.

Class 1-A students stood outside and began chatting with excitement. Today was the last day of rehearsing their music, special effects, and dance practice. They needed to rest for one more sleep until the start of the School Festival.


In Heights Alliance, some of the Class 1-A students refused to fall asleep from the mix of excitement and nervousness at 11:35 PM.

"Woo! I can't sleep!" Kaminari cheered.

"Yeah, right? I'm stupid excited!" Mineta cheered.

Kaminari and Mineta began running around in circles with pumped-up expressions.

"Not so loud! People are sleeping upstairs." Mina said.

"I just hope the audience will be that enthusiastic." Iida said.

"It's probably better if we don't think about it very much." Jiro suggested. "Being embarrassed. Worrying what others are thinking. That'll kill our vibe. We should focus on having fun. That's what really matters."

"Yeah, says the girl who was super scared to front the band!" Kaminari teased.

Diana punched Kaminari in the face, sending him straight to the floor.

"You're welcome." Diana smiled to Jiro with a thumb-up.

"Shut up, that was a totally different situation." Jiro retorted.

Izuku and Aoyama sat on the table with ropes, stretcher, and four pairs of white gloves on the table.

"What Jiro said is good advice for more than just the performance." Izuku said.

"Oui." Aoyama agreed. "When you try to make others feel good, you end up raising your own spirits too."

"Exactly." Izuku agreed. He pulled up the white rope and noticed how worn it looked. "Ah…This rope is so frayed."

"Mon dieu! We put it through some abuse during practice." Aoyama stated. "It's physical proof of our blossoming friendship!"

"But it's dangerous. I should have noticed this before." Izuku said.

"Yaoyorozu will make you a new one and some tea." Kaminari said in a proper-sounding voice as he stood behind Izuku.

"Yaomomo is in bed already." Mina said.

"Yeah, quit treating her like your own personal factory, dude." Diana said.

"But people use me as a phone charger on the regular." Kaminari complained.

"That's because men get no respect." Mineta said.

"Nah. I'll go buy a new one in the morning." Izuku assured. "It's my fault for not noticing. And this'll work out. I'm up early for training anyway."

"Okay, but the performance is at 10 tomorrow." Kaminari informed. "And most places don't open till 9."

"There's a hardware store about 15 minutes from UA." Izuku reassured. "That place opens at 8AM, so I'll hit it up."

"That's cutting it pretty close, dude." Kaminari advised.

"Oh, I'm heading in the morning as well. I'm going to pick up a surprise gift for Nico tomorrow." Luna said to Diana.

"That's sweet." Diana said. "But make sure you get back for the festival before 10."

"I'll be there. No worries." Luna assured.

"Well, goodnight. I really should be getting to sleep." Mina said.

"Before you go, how about we night owls make one final promise!" Kirishima said with a smile as he slammed his clenched fists together. "To do our best. We're gonna pull this off and rock everyone at UA!"

"Yeah!" Kirishima, Diana, Luna, Izuku, Iida, Mina, Aoyama, Jiro, Mineta, and Kaminari cheered.

Only Shoto remained silent.


Today is the starting day of the School Festival.

At 6:30 AM, Luna began training with Tarot Chariot. She activated her Exofists and unleashed a rapid series of continuous punches. She then aimed forward and fired off her Exofists that were launched to a nearby tree like rockets.

"Good job, Luna. You really stepped up your training." Ursula said with an impressed face.

"Thanks, mom." Luna said with a smile. "I've been working on this move for quite some while. I call this move…Exo Rockets."

"Exo Rockets? I love it. Let's take a break until the School Festival is over." Ursula advised. "You don't wanna be late for your performance."

"Yes, ma'am." Luna agreed with a nod.


At 7:50 AM, Izuku and Luna rushed down a path of students making preparation for their respective stands.

"Not good." Izuku said. "It took me a while to get used to the gloves, so I ended up practicing too long."

"You too, huh?" Luna said. "Same thing with me when I was practicing Exofists with my mom. Let's get what we need and hurry back before the festival begins."

"Right." Izuku nodded.


At 8:10 AM, Luna finally reached the toy store.

Thank goodness. I made it. Luna thought. She ran inside the store. Just need to pick something cute and head out.


At 8:30, Luna came out of the toy store with a shopping bag.

Got the gift and now I need to go. Luna thought. She sprang high in the air and landed on a building rooftop. I should be able to make it back this way with enough time.

Then, Luna went sprinting across rooftops with fast speed. She suddenly stopped running for a minute and jumped out of the way to avoid a yellow crescent-shaped energy projectile coming at her. She landed onto another rooftop and then looked up at the source of the sudden attack.

The villainess dropped down on the edge of the rooftop.

"I've been looking for you, child." The villainess spoke, pointing her black tessen fan with a golden sharpened outer edge at Luna. "It's a good thing you weren't that hard to find. I didn't have to pop up a plan to lure you out of that school."

What the? Who is that woman? She's too glitzy to be a major villain. Luna thought. Her eyes caught the sight of a golden yellow snake symbol on the villainess's tessen fan. Wait a minute. That snake symbol on her fan. It looks familiar. The same one from the text I received days ago.

Luna then recalled Midnight's words of caution. If any villain sounded off the alarm, then the staff will have no choice but to cancel the School Festival and evacuate everyone inside. She also remembered how hard every student from different classes were preparing and working on the School Festival, especially and how much Eri and Nico wanted to see how it all turns out.

"It all makes sense now. You're the one who sent me that text message." Luna said firmly. She dropped the bag to the ground. "And as you know, I don't care what plan you got, you're not going anywhere near my school!"

"Well, you're very perceptive, I'll give you that." The villainess pointed out. "But I have no intention on infiltrating UA." With a grandiose movement, her tessen fan started glowing with yellow energy in her hand. "The name's Nefertari and I'm here to take you in for Oriana."

Wait?! Did she just say Oriana?! As in my grandmother?! Luna exclaimed with wide, shocking eyes. She looked down at the district in realization. Crap, this is bad. Not only there's no people around, but there's no hero agencies near UA for back up on a Saturday morning. She activated her Divine Trinity Quirk from her hands. I have no other choice. I don't know what kind of Quirk she has, but I have to deal with this villain myself.

At 8:33AM, Luna lunged herself straight at Nefertari.

But suddenly, two snake tails made of yellow energy caught Luna up in the air.

"What the?!" Luna cried in shock.

"I conjured up this barrier as I cast off my overcoat. My Quirk is Energy Infusion. I can infuse energy into any object and energized it, including my tessen fan." Nefertari explained. "As you can see, that was my Tessen Serpent Tails. And now, my next move. Tessen Wave!"

Nefertari swung her tessen and fired a large glowing yellow blade of energy at Luna, knocking her backwards in the air and land hard onto another rooftop.

"Sorry to start a fight, but my mission must continue!" Nefertari said.

Luna recovered herself and jumped back on her feet. She then spun around and ran off across the rooftops. She looked over her shoulder to see Nefertari chasing after her from behind.

"No, no, no. Can't let you get away." Nefertari said. "Tessen Wave!"

Nefertari swung her tessen again and fired large glowing yellow energy blades, but Luna quickly backflipped in the air and looked at Nefertari with a dangerous glare.

Nefertari then closed her tessen and thrusted it on the ground.

"Tessen Prison!" Nefertari shouted.

A large hexagonal cage out of yellow energy appeared right above Luna and slammed her down to the rooftop ground.

"You know, I actually watched you during the Sports Festival, Luna Yagi." Nefertari said, walking up to the glaring Luna. "Your speed and strength when using your Quirk was very significant, which is surprisingly off for a girl like you. Now, be a dear and surrender yourself. I can't let you alert your peers before your delivery to Oriana."

Luna fired pink energy bolts from her hands, trying to break out of hexagonal energized cage. But her attack wasn't strong enough to break through.


[Flashback]

Inside the Lunch Rush Cafeteria, Izuku and Luna got up out of their seats.

"Sorry, you guys. Our break is almost over." Izuku said. "We're off."

"Okay! Just so you know, I'm looking forward to seeing you two get down too." Mirio said.

"Deku, you and Dazzler are leaving already?" Eri asked.

"I'm sorry. But we have to go to practice." Izuku said.

"The five of us can explore the fest together after Midoriya and Luna's done shaking their stuff!" Togata said excitedly as he stood up and twirled around from his seat.

"Deku, Lemillion, Dazzler, I'm getting kind of excited." Eri said with a nearly complete smile.

Luna then looked at Nico.

"Celena and her sisters are gonna join you to see our performance." Luna said. "And after that, we can have fun together like Togata said."

Nico stared at Luna, slowly pulling a small smile across his face.

"Sounds like fun." Nico said. "I can't wait."

Luna gasped for a minute and then smiled back.

[Flashback Ends]


Luna silently lifted her two fingers from one hand and produced a bolt of pink energy above the tips. She moved her finger in a circular motion and duplicated it into three triquetra-shaped energy bolts around her body. She aimed the energy bolts at the cage.

I'm not done yet, Nefertari! Luna thought. Dazzling Trinity: Starlight Shock!

Luna launched one pink triquetra-shaped energy bolt that demolished the hexagonal energized cage into pieces. She then fired the other two energy bolts at a shocked Nefertari, hitting her and knocking her away in one shot.

"Yes!" Luna cheered.

"Did you really think that was strong enough to stop me?" Nefertari explained.

"Well, that cage of yours wasn't strong enough to trap me that easily!" Luna retorted. "It's gonna take more than that if you're planning to take me down!"

Luna thrusted her right hand forward. A pink triquetra-shaped energy bolt appeared underneath Nefertari, blasting her high up in the air. Luna then launched herself and faced Nefertari in midair as she fired another triquetra-shaped energy bolt that hurled the villainess away and sent her crashing straight into an unfinished building in rocketing speed.


From the distance, the loud sound of the crash attracted Celena's attention. Celena was wearing a pink form-fitting, mini-length dress and pink ankle-high boots.

"What's going on over there?" Celena wondered. She looked up to see Luna soaring in the air. "Is that…Luna?"


Inside an unfinished building, Luna landed securely on the floor. Nefertari stood up back on her feet and dusted herself with her tessen before facing Luna. She then pulled out her compact mirror and opened it, taking out her high-tech powder brush from the bottom case. Nefertari aimed the powder brush upwards and projected a large soundproof dome all around the floor that she and Luna are standing.

"A soundproof barrier." Nefertari said with a smile. "A crafty move to prevent your escape."

This woman's not giving up, isn't she? Luna thought with narrow eyes.

"Look, I know your plan is to kidnap and deliver me to Oriana. But the real question is what's it to you? What do you want out of this?" Luna demanded.

"Oh, you really wanna know?" Nefertari asked. "You see, I have no plan of joining Oriana and her organization. I simply want to capture you, so I can restart my career once again."

"Then, you have wasted your time. Oriana will never make such promises to you. Give up now." Luna said.

"Ha, like that's gonna happen." Nefertari said with a giggle. "But enough chat. Let's brawl."

Then suddenly, a large pink heart-shaped energy projectile was launched and blasted Nefertari from behind, catching the villainess off-guard and disrupting her time to strategize her Quirk.

Celena flipped over the distracted Nefertari and landed next to Luna.

"Hey, Luna!" Celena greeted.

"Celena!" Luna exclaimed in surprise. "When did you get here?"

"Let's just say I happen to be in the neighborhood until I saw you having fun with this woman." Celena said. "Mind if I join in?"

"You don't have to tell me twice." Luna said.

Luna and Celena charged forward. They jumped in the air and dove for a swift kick, but Nefertari started swinging her tessen and protected herself with a large yellow shield made up of many connected hexagons, which pushed Luna and Celena away.

Once Nefertari started to swing her tessen again, Luna swiftly activated Dazzling Trinity and charged forward with fast speed.

"What?!" Nefertari gasped in shock.

Luna twirled her upside-down body to strike Nefertari in rapid speed, distracting the villainess from concentrating on her Quirk. That immediately allowed Celena to unleash a barraging flurry of pink energy bolts from both hands at Nefertari.

After recovering, Nefertari then swung her tessen again and formed another large hexagonal shield. Luna sprang up in the air and unloaded a machine-gun barrage of pink energy blasts that instantly destroyed Nefertari's shield into pieces. Nefertari swung her tessen again and formed a large hexagonal shield one more time until Celena's large pink heart-shaped energy projectile destroyed it again, knocking the villainess back to the floor.

Nefertari looked surprised from Luna and Celena's quick reaction. But she shook it off and jumped back on her feet, preparing to strike with her Quirk through her tessen. Her face went into utter shock as she looked down to see a pink triquetra symbol lying under her feet.

What the hell?! Is this part of her Quirk?! Nefertari gasped in thought.

Luna snapped her fingers. The pink triquetra symbol glowed brightly and fired a large blast of pink energy that engulfed Nefertari wholly. But Nefertari swiftly protected herself inside a hexagonal shield with a swing of her tessen.

"Nice trick. I'll give you that." Nefertari commented. "Now, it's my turn."

Nefertari charged her tessen with blazing yellow energy.

"Tessen Arrows!" Nefertari shouted.

Nefertari swung her tessen rapidly and fired a barrage of yellow arrow-shaped energy projectiles straight towards Luna and Celena all at once. Luna simply backflipped and created a pink triquetra symbol that enlarged itself as a shield and protected herself and Celena from the firing energy arrows. Nefertari's Tessen Arrows managed to pierce through the soundproof dome, destroying it into nothingness. The villainess took notice, but she's too focus on the mission.

Just as Luna dropped the shield, Nefertari took a swift opportunity. Nefertari instantly fired another barrage of yellow energized arrows that attacked Luna and Celena one by one.

"Tessen Prison!" Nefertari cried out.

Nefertari closed her tessen and slammed it into the ground, separately trapping Luna and Celena inside two large yellow hexagonal energized cages.


Back in UA, Class 1-A students are preparing to get themselves ready in position for their live dance performance around 8:45 AM.

"It's almost time! My nerves are killing me!" Diana said thrillingly.

"Just take a few deep breaths. Try to center yourself, Diana." Yaoyorozu advised.

"Are you sweating, Yaomomo?" Aisha asked.

"We went through the trouble of having shirts made, so put yours on, Bakugo." Jiro ordered.

Uraraka and Selene finished straightening Mina in her performance uniform.

"The dance outfits are super cute." Mina said. "And all we did was jazz up some dresses."

"If Selene and I could de-wrinkle it." Uraraka said.

"Still super sexy!" Mineta cheered.

Shoto was carrying with a box in his hands as he was walking with Aoyama, who wore his hero costume.

"Midoriya isn't here." Shoto said.

"He went to buy rope earlier." Aoyama stated.

"But he should be back by now, right? It's odd." Shoto said in a worried tone.

"He'll be here." Aoyama assured.

"Hey, Diana, have you seen Luna anywhere?" Aisha asked Diana.

"She's out buying a gift for Nico." Diana replied. "She'll be back soon."

"I hope she gets back here in time." Aisha said.

"You and me both." Diana concurred. "And the festival starts in 15 minutes."


Meanwhile, Nefertari walked over towards the pouting Celena, who began pounding her fists against the hexagonal cage.

"It's been fun, child. But I have a high school student to deliver." Nefertari said. "Now, be a good girl and stay put."

Before Nefertari turned around, Luna quickly broke free out of the hexagonal cage with four pink triquetra-shaped energy bolts.

Nefertari stood in shock as Luna glared at Nefertari in rage.

"Luna, go!" Celena shouted. "I don't know why this villain wants you, but you have to go as far away from her as you can!"

"But what about...?" Luna said.

"I already contacted my associate on the way over here!" Celena yelled. "I'll be fine! Just go!"

Luna stared at Celena for a minute, but she nodded her head. She turned around and sprinted forward, launching herself straight into the air.

No, she's not gonna get away from me again. Nefertari thought with narrow eyes.

Nefertari pulled out her golden yellow high-tech inline skate-like wheels under her boots.

"Ta-ta, brat." Nefertari said to Celena with a wave.

Nefertari skated off the building with fast speed. She landed swiftly on the ground and followed after Luna, who began propelling herself through the air with her pink triquetra-shaped energy symbol that pushed her forward with great speed.

That Luna girl is tough. Nefertari thought with narrow eyes. Guess it's time for me to use the full power of my Quirk. Once I take her down, the whole world will remember my name once again!

At 8:51AM, Luna has approximately sixty-nine minutes until Class 1-A's band performance.


Enjoy and review.
