It’s a Wonderful Day for Parkour

[itmeanstruth]

The twins had returned to the Nexus after a brief visit to their world. It was that time of year again - time for the American Ninja Warrior qualifiers.

For anyone passing through the plaza this beautiful afternoon, the grin on Minoru’s face said it all. He’d beaten the Seattle course, clocked in a great time and scored a spot in the Finals! But this was no time to rest on laurels. There was still a lot to do before he set his sights on Mount Midoriyama again.

“If I’m going to make it all the way to Total Victory this time, I need all the practice I can get!” He exclaimed while hopping on top a picnic table. The plaza and the surrounding areas were full of obstacles to train on. “Anybody want to race? Let’s do it!”

[open for anyone who wants to do a little freerunning or parkour. Either with Minoru or with each other, threadjacking here is fine by me.]

Rayan nodded. "Got it. And really you'll make it to the main event, with training help like the show out today, I can't see how you won't." She grinned brightly. "And if I brought all my family, not just my brothers and foster dad.... there'd probably be about fifty of us. And pretty sure the loudest would be my boyfriend's adopted mom figure. Though, she's loud enough to shatter glass if needed and going to sporting events with her is fun."

Rayan finished up her stretches as she talked. "So I don't think you'll have a problem finding my crew even if we're not sitting with Ziggy and the others." Though she had a feeling Mira and Jason both would want to sit with that bunch only to talk music with them.

"Sounds good."

Minoru already secured his spot in the Finals, but how far he could go was definitely up in the air.

Last year, a surprisingly high number of ninjas made it to Stage 3 and he finished 14th. This year, the obstacles might be a lot harder because of that. Who knows what will be standing between him and the famous Mount Midoriyama tower.

“Oh, wow!” He chuckled, both surprised and impressed at how many people Rayan might bring to cheer him on. “I’d better tell Isamu to order more fans.”

Membership in the Fan Man Fan Club came complete with your very own purple uchiwa fan to wave. Isamu saw to that last year by handing them out to everybody he could find. He was planning on doing it again this year.

But that could wait. He had a different challenge at the moment.

“You ready?” He perched on the edge of the bench, and waited for Rayan to get ready too. “Let’s go!”

Minoru took off, sprinting across the street.
