What is Justice?

Chapter Twenty

'No... why... Hotaru-chan... where... are you...?'

Izuku who was in his jade punisher outfit was running down a hallway, a white bland hallway which was on flames, with several black stripes, and numbers, and scorch marks with a few pieces of human flesh stuck to the walls, ceilings, and floors which had a bunch of eyes that stared at Izuku as he was running down, some of the eyes started to pop out of the flesh and came out some blood, the eyes then used it's nerves to walk towards Izuku, but the sound of fire burning all over the place and rubble crashing was interrupted with a gunshot.

'Stupid Overseers... where are you... where is room 502...? No... don't think about that Izuku!'

Izuku pulled out his AS Val and shot every single eye that popped out which made blood splatter all over the walls behind him, he was rushing to find room 502, he was panicking and breathing irregularly, he also heard footsteps coming from behind him, he then looked at a number sign '502', he tried to open the door but it was locked, Izuku did a kick to the door but it just left a dent and another piece of the building dropped and crashed to the ground, Izuku gritted his teeth as he took a screwdriver similar to Tagawa's screwdriver but had a different colour scheme, and activated it creating a plasma light that was cutting through the steel door.

'Hotaru-chan...I'm almost... there for you.................................... no...

As the sound of flames licking the surroundings, the crash of debris echoing through the hallway, the footsteps approaching, laid there, crushed in the weight of metal and concrete, Hotaru, bleeding from her head, the red blood that covered almost her face, her left arm that was not trapped... Izuku slowly approached her, she looked up weakly to him.

"Sen... sei... you... came..."

"Hotaru-chan..."

Izuku was broken hearted was an understatement, he kneeled down to reach her hand and held it as tightly as he could, Hotaru looked like she was about to close her eyes and sleep... forever... the surroundings were filled with a bunch of burned plants, withered ones too, Izuku could not hear anything at all... only the voice of his sister...

"I'm... sorry... Hotaru... I-I failed you... *sobs."

"Blaming your... self... is ba.. d... sen-sensei."

Izuku chuckled while still sobbing and then cried harder as he felt Hotaru's warm hand held him together, Izuku had been in this situation many times... but the pain... didn't ever fade, it always hurt him with no end...

"*Chuckles weakly, using my own words against me... you have grown up a lot Hotaru-chan..."

"Sensei... why... why did this... happened...?"

"... I-I don't know..."

"But... don't... doesn't sen... sei knows every... thing?"

Izuku was at loss for answers, Hotaru took the silence as a no answer, Izuku tried to comfort Hotaru-chan, she still had her weakly opened eyes, the surrounding plants started to turn into ashes, Izuku could feel the heat in the room rising even though his hands were cold, from the dread of losing someone else.

"I feel... sleepy..."

"No... no no no.... Hotaru-chan, don't sleep on me!"

"... Sensei... didn't you... say that... always live with a smile?"

Hotaru's voice was very small now, so weak and fragile, Izuku just kept holding her hand and saw the life leave Hotaru's beautiful green eyes, as Hotaru drew her final breath she managed to say something to her sensei before she left, the green strikes on her hair began to fade and emit green particle all around the two, some even turned into fireflies.
