Raph nostrils kept breathing out hot air, many would think he was a bull. It only rose the longer he his patience and annoyance lingered. This was stupid, so stupid in the mind. Why did he...he and his brothers have too...life would have been much better if they hadn't...each thought only angered him further. Balled into a fist, he wanted to throw so badly, instead his flames began to emerge. Slowly taking over him, but sped up the more he remained angered.

At the fact that...why did he have to be...there where so many people and...all this dang cheering...the loud fireworks shooting out blasting overhead...mixed in with the shouts and cheers of others. Felt a flush prickle his skin, if he had his way...he wouldn't be doing this nor would he here...again if it was his choice he'd...

"Raph." Leo called to his brother, resting a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down, getting upset about this won't do any good."

His words only fumed Raph a bit and soured his mood further. But, also rang truth, he released a heavy heated sigh. Blowing away his flames. Rubbed a hand over his head.

Shot a side glare at Leo, who ignored it. "Well," Raph said. "it does something. So, it's good for me. I mean why do we even have...do this?" Crossed his arms huffed.

He knew why and Leo didn't really feel like explain it. Only gave a short answer. "You know why, we should be lucky if you think about."

Raph didn't need too nor did he consider it luck. It was more of a punishment, they weren't this...all of this...even with their...powers. So close, he thought for a moment looking up. They could have left this all behind and be on their merry way. Back to what he knew, they all knew. He and his brothers, his father too, they could return...well April and May...they were under a different sort of authority. It was less than likely they'd come, still, it would be nice. The gang would be together. But from what he's seen so far the sisters seem to enjoy themselves...like his brothers. Well, two of them, Donnie was sort of up in the air.

They were ninjas! Why didn't any of them see this or seem to remember. Doing something like this...going out in public was just...living where no one knew about you, was better than having eyes on you. Watching. Maybe, just maybe there could be another slip up and...sometimes he wondered how they managed to find him and his brothers. When their father kept them so well hidden.

Guess that question would have to wait, right now he had to get ready.

It was about to start soon and Mikey's constant hooting and yelling, along with his constant bouncing from foot to foot was about to reignite his flames. With a hand raised and coated (along with the rest of his body) in flames aimed at Mikey to hit. Dropped it, the announcement came for everyone to make their way out. With his feet rooted, Raph refused at first. Until Leo came, shoved and nudged him to go.

"Fine," he grumbled, reached up and to show his protest and...feelings to put plainly ripped off the sleeves of his P.E. uniform. Smirking walked out with his brothers, Mikey up ahead.

The stadium of Sports Festival was filled completely by many. By fans, heroes, and many alike. It was a good thing it was huge to house such an enormous crowd. The cheering from so many echoed like a rock star concert. The spirit was living at best, if not more. Venders from all around came, set up outside selling more than just food. Merchandise of the event and of Pro Heroes. It was an awing sight and gave Kirby some thoughts on what he'd like to do with his daughters. Spotting a few places to eat, he was sure they'd might like. Having arrived, would have gotten lost if not for meeting up with Splinter and another staff member of U.A. and teacher, Snipe. A western theme cowboy like hero, escorted him with Splinter inside. Expecting to and believing that he'd sit with Splinter, to be surprised he wasn't. As Splinter needed to be seated elsewhere, but assured that Kirby did get a good spot.

Before leaving him, Splinter and Snipe told Kirby if needed something to seek them out. With that Kirby took his seat. Riddling with nerves, drowned out the cheering happening all around him. Only focused on his daughters and spot where they'd be walking out of. That he failed to notice sharp familiar eyes on him, that narrowed. He did though feel a haunting chill run down his spine, turned around scanned across the crowd saw no one. Turned back to his focus.

"Hey! Make some noise!" A loud, thrilled and enthusiastic crowd pleasing voice boomed. Startled Kirby he almost popped out his seat. Turned to the large screen sitting overhead on the stadium, where a tall, slender man with long, spiky blonde hair and a small mustache; with a pair of headphones and sunglasses on. Dressed in a black leather jacket, his collar upturned, there was...speakers covering his neck completely. "This year where brining you some of the hottest performances in Sports Festival History, guaranteed. I've alone got one question, before we start this show, are you ready!"

Cheers bursted from the crowd. Kirby did his best not be in the way of anyone who stood up. But, it was difficult.

"Let me hear you scream, as our inspector Mic ushers them to the big stage!"

All eyes and heads turned to gate where the students, 1st years walked out. Each one of them dressed in their P.E. uniforms. Kirby rose from his seat, began looking for his the faces of his daughters. Scanning over those that didn't register, the same eyes that noticed him did the same among the students. Smile when they spot them. Kirby's face lite up spotting his daughters. Both of them walking side by side, April with her forever mellow yet wholesome self and stride. With an assured look set in her eyes. May with her brimming lightness and merriment. Those eyes of hear wide and joyful, that softly giggled. Kirby was sure she was egered to start jumping up and down. Though she walked out calmly like the rest, he saw what she wanted to do. Even if she didn't want to show her own jilting nerves. That only settled when the two sisters looked at each other quickly and smiled.

Kirby wondered if they noticed his presence up here, he didn't stand out like many of the other colorful...individuals. His plain dark brown and nearly faded jacket that spoke his profession and personality altogether. Even his age, near late forties. Not to mention he had no...well quirk to help him get their attention. They knew he was here, he did arrive a week before the festival. Both of them where so elated upon his arrival. He smiled, glad to have come...being so far away from his girls knew no words of longing and emptiness. Standing as tall as he could, leaned over a bit, it was a good thing he had such a good seat.

Raising a hand waved to get their attention. Even calling for them. "April! May!"

Nothing, he tried again a few more times. But, the cheers of the others drowned him out and the man on the screen too. He gave up and set back down. Stopped when he noticed the eyes of his daughters casted his way. It was brief, but they locked.

A smile came to his face, he raised a hand and waved. May's hand shot up and waved back, almost knocking someone, if not for April who pulled it back down and refocused her.

Chuckling to himself, Kirby set back down. Content and ready to cheer on his daughters.

Splinter though where he sat with the other teachers of the school, was not in the same way as Kirby. He saw his sons come out, curled his tail. Not because of how they did, Mikey throwing up hang-loose signs, Donnie's skittish and rather board expression, some of it was towards Raph's defiance. Ripped sleeves of the uniform. A few of the teachers turned to him. He felt their eyes on him, quickly turned when his eyes shot back. Hard. Raph would be given a talking to, Splinter reminded himself, the rest of his fuming anger was from the choice he decided. He shouldn't have reconsidered, Nezu was rather crafty, he had to acknowledge that at least. His words managed to sway if not simmering his anger. Along with All Might, Toshinori, their words together along with the words of that girl Momo who came in after to seek an audience with him. Put further words. She was a respectable girl, speaking on behalf her sons and taking reasonability for what she believe to be her share. That and his sons.

He'd give it once more, this...try...it once again. Of course with adjustments. That Nezu agreed too, but made Toshinori a bit nervous. But, Splinter was set on it, so it was given.

Watching the students come out, he saw the O'Neil sisters. Smiled a bit. Once all the students came out, gathered in center, Midnight one of the teachers and...Pro Heroes. A rather...risqué. That showed in her not just her personality but her appearance that spoke for it as well. One that was similar to dominatrix, if not for the thin white bodysuit that covered her under the breastless leotard. The small flogger-whip added to her. Splinter shuttered silently when she entered as the Chief Referee of the festival.

Addressing and commanding attention, not just by voice alone either. Nearly every male became enthralled the second she took the stage. Even a few of a younger age, though they tired to hid it. It had a different affect on you, one that took your attention and kept it fixated. You began to lean as your lips parted slowly, that quickly slammed shut, when Midnight's eyes swept across each student. Your heart suddenly froze, then pounded in your ears. The way she stood...so...confident and...and proudly. Smiling and all. So...even when she spoke, her voice was...

"Onee-san," you whisper to April, making sure Midnight didn't hear you, tugged on April.

She turned to you, taken back by the sparkling look in your eyes. "Umm...are you okay?" She whispered back.

Your lips pressed together, quiver just a bit. Hold your breath and shut your eyes. Whimper slightly, trying to find the right words, squeezed tightly on April's arm. You didn't realize how hard, until she tapped you. Did you let go. Open them to the sound of Midnight's voice. Turn to her, felt a rise in your cheeks prickle them for a moment. You began to fan yourself.

Yelp and bury your face in your hands when April lightly poked you. A yelp that cut through the booing from the from the others. Turned heads when you shouted. Expressing yourself. "You are very pleasing!"

A heavy wave of silence swept over, a few stared if not everyone stared wide eyes at what you said, you believed Midnight heard. April face palmed herself, as you buried yourself more in your hands. Izuku stood there he was one the few who's mouth fell open and eyes wide. Shaking in shock at what you just said. Especially at who the words went too.

Did that just...he was trying to register what you said. Of course you didn't know...hopefully. Afraid to see their reaction on stage, Izuku slowly slide his eyes to them...they where stunned for a moment that quickly bared into anger on their face. Explosive anger, that locked you in their radar. It intense Izuku became afraid for you.

Coughing, Midnight takes the attention back. To announce the first preliminaries of the Festival. "Now, without further ado, let's get started! The first faithful game of the festival!"

April busy with snapping you back, managed to, just in time too. The first event was picked. You and her look, surprised and a bit confused at what it was.

Midnight kept going. A hologram board appeared behind her, with a large slot bar that spun rapidly. Stopped. "Tada! Obstacle Course! All eleven classes with participate in the treacherous contest, four kilometers around outside the stadium." She whipped her whip. "I don't want to restrain anyone, at least in this game," your hand found April's, squeezed. Then reached out for another's. Midnight kept going. "As long as you don't leave the course, you're free to do whatever your hearts desire!"

The crowd cheered.

"Now then, take your places!"

The gates began to open, everyone went over and stared up at the green lights the moment they beeped on. Everyone paused and waited. You remained close to April, she did the same with you. The rapid heart beats of others, pounding against their chest filled the tensed focused silence. It felt nearly suffocating. You began shaking all over, swallowed hard. Gripped more with April.

Your display was pathetic, in the eyes that spotted you and April. That itched to react, but held back, swallowing the thought. Focused on the start of the festival.

The three lights over the door, began to drop one by one. It was about to start...all of it. April got her focus ready, each of her muscles flamed reaction. The same with Leo and his brothers. You too...if they hadn't began shaking and if your mind and eyes hadn't begun to wonder. Glazing over the many faces...look for and single out Izuku. Smile, that dropped he was focused too. Just as much as the others. Everyone.

The second light dropped...Kirby held his breath and crossed his fingers, whispered of encouragement and safety...Splinter's eyes stayed on his sons, each of them...the third light dropped.

"Begin!" Midnight shouted.

Everyone raced through the narrow corridor, getting packed in. Trying to get out and away from others, pushing and shoving one another. Not caring how they did it, an elbow came and knocked you in the face. Separated April from you. You try to shout and reach for her...anyone you knew...called for them..got nothing. Except more thrashing about.

You panicked. Screamed, shoved back hard. Sent many out your way, gave yourself room and took to the air. Flew straight out the corridor, calling for your sister...anyone, you lost your focus hit something hard...cold and...metal. Not to mention massive, you shrunk at the sight the massive bot that towered over you and everyone. Left you frozen, in its gaze it locked upon you. With its red leans.

Raised one of its large appendages, smashed it down. On its target, into the ground.
