Luna and Shinsou bid their farewells to their family as they boarded the plane headed towards the island. They talked and listened to music the whole flight, often trading energy drinks and coffee to keep them awake. When they landed, they quickly retrieved their luggage and headed toward their hotel.

"This is amazing! All of this technology!" Luna cried, running around the central hub of the island. New inventions unveiled littered the square, people gawked at the heroes that had also arrived to look at the innovations. The siblings walked around, following the GPS to their hotel, where they unpacked their things and settled in. They ate and explored before greeting their partners and friends who recently landed after their flight.

The group talked, planning activities and bucket list items to do while on the island and created a small itinerary. They agreed to meet up the next morning to the beach that had all of the water based new inventions.

While Shinsou and Luna were supposed to be sharing a room, strings had been pulled to have him sleep with Denki and Bakugou with Luna. It was for the pure fact of cuddles. The next morning, Bakugou showered and put on his swim trunks, ready to get breakfast with his girlfriend and head out.

"Babe! Are you ready to go to the beach?"

He saw her head peek out from the bathroom nervously.

"What's u-"

He swallowed his words when she stepped out with a one piece bathing suit on. It was a simple solid black but had a cut out at her midriff. She looked at him shyly.

"I'm a little nervous to wear this."

Her boyfriend smirked.

"Why because you looking fucking hot?!" He declared, picking her up and twirling her around.

"Uh... yes?"

They both laughed. Bakugou had brought out a sense of confidence in the girl she had lost years ago. She was grateful to the boy for bringing that back to her. After their beach day, Momo informed the group of a gala that was being held in the ballroom of the main I-Expo building. Luna sighed nervously, knowing that was going to be where she performed. 

The dread continued to set in as she got ready for the night with Bakugou in their room. He was in a simple black suit with a flower in the pocket and she wore a purple floor length gown embroidered with small beads. Forcefully, she put on heels, originally opting to wear flats, Momo convinced the girl that heels would be better suited to the occasion. Luna sighed, adjusted her bun once more and passing a finger to calm the blush on her cheeks.

"Okay you ready?"

"Yeah, do I really have to wear this thing though?" Her boyfriend grumbled adjusted the tie around his neck.

"You think I like being incapacitated in this too?" The ravenette grumbled, stumbling on her heels and long gown.

"You look gorgeous though." He smirked, twirling the girl around and kissing her.

"And you clean up nicely, now come on, weren't you supposed to meet Kiri in his room?" She mentioned as she grabbed her room key and they exited the hotel room.

"Yeah, I'll meet you there, this loser doesn't know how to tie a tie."

"Be nice my love, see you soon- look there's Mina- ready to go?" She waved to the pinkette who bounded over to her. They locked arms and headed towards the elevator as Bakugou could be heard scolding Kirishima for his lack of knowledge on bowties.

"Luna! Mina! Over here!" The two girls turned around and saw Sero and Shinsou walking towards them.

Luna smiled at her scruffy brother and his attempt to gel back his hair. "Here let me help you." She ran a hand through the fron tof his purple hair and ruffled it lightly, letting the volume return to the ends. "Much better."

"Thanks sis, I felt like a greaseball."

"Looked like one too."

"OI!"

Shinsou flicked her in the forehead as they exited the elevator onto the floor for the gala. Luna smirked and snapped her fingers, having one of her brother's legs sink into a red vortex. He struggled, embarrassed as he pulled at his leg to release from the hole. His friends laughed and Luna stuck her tongue out in retaliation to his earlier gesture. They got their wristbands scanned and walked through the tall doorway. As they entered Luna was hyperfixated on her steps and not tripping on herself, her long dress dragging on the floor as a hazard. She grumbled at the length, wishing it were shorter. Luna, Sero, Shinsou, and Mina walked into the large ballroom in awe. The drapes hung flawlessly across the head to toe windows. The room was grand, with embroidery across the walls. They spotted famous pro's across the room as they made their way to the stage.

"It's All Might!" Sero said, pointing towards the familiar face.

"Hello kids! What are you doing here?"

"Luna's performing after your speech!" Mina said.

"Why that's wonderful, I take it you two came in place of Eraserhead and Present Mic?" The siblings nodded.

"Well I look forward to your performance Luna!"

"And I look forward to your speech!" She replied. Moments later, a large set man stepped onto the stage, probably for the welcoming speech.

"Weird? Where are the others?" Shinsou asked, looking around.

"No ide-"

The lights flickered and a hush fell over the crowd. A loud boom echoed throughout the room as the large doors were busted open and a bunch of men broke in with weapons. The lights and power quickly fizzed out with the crash. Luna snapped her fingers and changed her dress into her hero costume in preparation for a fight. All Might immediately stood up to act, but was tackled by another man who appeared behind him and strapped him in a blue binding.

"Everyone in this room is now a hostage!"

"Any heroes try anything and these people die!"

Some of the men screamed.

"The bindings prevent any quirks from being used! So don't even try!"

One by one, each person in the room was trapped into the blue straps until a scientist was withdrawn from the room at All Might's protest. David Shield. After taking him away the villains simply sat as the head spoke on his earpiece constantly. Almost an hour passed and one of the bad guys whined to his partner.

"Ughh, this is so boring! I need some entertainment! Who was performing tonight?!"

He grabbed a program from one of the tables and flipped through it for a moment.

"Luna Callaway? WHO IS THAT?" He screamed across the room.

Luna raised her cuffed hand with a still face and said clearly. "That's me."

"Give us a show or die."

"Would you like anything specific?" She asked him, unphased.

"Something upbeat."

"May I have my friends help as backup singers, since we have no power."

"Sure, but try ANYTHING, and you're all dead."

"Understood."

The four teens convened for a moment on what to do as they stepped behind the stage.

"What are we going to do?!"

"We're going to give them a show. Distract them long enough so they don't realize that the others are trying to get us out of here." Luna said, nudging their gazes upward to a large window where their classmates were. Midoriya was staring in and using sign language of which Luna had been discretely communicating with him with. She huddled up with the others to cover her hands from view as she signed back.

"They're going to get the power back on, then the security system will kick in. We need to make sure they aren't seen on the cameras by the villains."

"Alright."

"So who's good at acapella?"
