Death and Rebirth

(Third person perspective)

As soon as bakugou stepped into the circle near the altar, a bright yellow flame started burning on the edge of the circle like a wisp.

( Izuku's point of view )

'What, does it want more than one? ' I thought.

"Oy! Nerd, what does this mean. " Bakugou said to me.

"Can someone help me get to the altar? " I asked.

Then two people from the group came and lifted me up. They started walking toward the altar. Once we enter the circle, 3 more flame wisps began glowing on the edge of the circle.

'So that's how it is, huh. ' I thought to myself.

Judging by the distance between each wisp, it would need two more people to complete the circle. I then call the remaining two to the circle as well.

Suddenly many blue fire wisps surround the smaller circle by forming a larger circle. They were 36 in total in the outside circle and 6 orange-red wisps around us in the smaller inner circle.

Suddenly, the large gate gets completely opened. It left us all shocked.

' Are we able to leave now ? ' I thought for a moment, but quickly changed my mind.

' No, if the door has opened, it must surely be another trap. A false hope. ' I thought again

Suddenly, the statues, statues started moving towards the altar. This caused everyone to look at the statues. They immediately stopped. And one of the blue flames around the altar vanished . This caused me to think.

I quickly looked at my watch to check the time, it took one minute for the flame to extinguish. I heard the statue in front of me move. As soon as I looked at them again, they stopped.

" Everyone, do not remove your eyes from the statues, they move when we aren't looking. " I yelled loudly to everyone.

After hearing me, the people tried their best to not remove their eyes from the statues.

A long time later, which felt like an eternity, one of the girls was unable to keep her eyes opened, the statue immediately started moving.

I heard a loud scream. It was the same girl, the noise of the Statue might have woken her up. She immediately made a run for the gate.

'Noo! Don't! It is a trap. You'll die. ' I screamed internally.

But nothing happened. She left the gate unharmed. But the gate closed a little, and one of the flames in the inner circle vanished.

' So that's the trap, as soon as we all leave the circle, the gate will close completely. ' I said to myself.

I didn't notice it, but as soon as they saw that the girl left without harm, others also wanted to just rush out of the Hall. Then, the person who was holding me up, just threw me on the ground and ran.

He also left the door. The door closed again a little, another wisp vanished. There were only 4 people remaining in the hall now. I was trying to stay up by taking support from the altar.

I screamed, " No one else should leave, we need at least 4 people to properly look at every statue.

" Hey nerd, explain what you mean by that " Bakugou yelled at me.

" The blue flames are a timer and we have to wait until those all vanish to complete this one. " I replied.

Then I heard a voice, it was the guy who had forced Bakugou to step onto the altar. He had a quirk to shoot bullets from his fingers, but he needed to hold any metal or hard substance to use his quirk. For which reason, he used to carry his father's sword with him.

"Hey midoriya, you might be correct. But, couldn't the door also just completely shutdown when the blue flames run out. " He said.

" I appreciate your help and accept that I might be alive only because of you. But..... I don't wanna die. I'm sorry, I don't think I can take this any longer. I'm sorry. " He said while looking at me with tears dripping from his eyes.

' Sorry! Don't make me laugh. You running from here will cause us our deaths. ' I said to myself.

He then left the hall. He threw his sword on the ground and forgot about it in the moment. The gate closed by a little again.

It was all over, we could do nothing now, with only three people, there will be a gap in the fertile of vision of us all.

"Oy you, healer girl ! go get Deku and get out of here. I'll stay, after all, I'm the injure who brought you here. " Bakugou said.

"O-ok" Said the girl and tried to walk towards me, suddenly she collapsed on the floor. " My legs! They won't move! " She said.

That was the downside of her quirk. She could heal others, but at the expense of her own energy.

"Hey kacchan, can you listen to me. Take the other girl and leave, I will stay. " I said to him " Go leave, otherwise, who will save this girl here. " I added.

The girl started arguing that she would rather stay, but was suddenly knocked out by Bakugou with a chop to the neck.

"Go, and become the greatest hero." I said to him.

" Yeah, I will, thanks Izuku. " He said, and they both left. The gate closed by a little again.

Two more flames vanished from the inner circle.

' I guess, this is where it ends, huh. ' I said to myself.

' Mom, Dad, I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect Izumi . I'm sorry mom that I wasn't able to fulfill my promise. If I'm gonna go down, I'll at least take one of you all down. ' I said as I picked up the sword left by that boy. Rin Amazuki. I won't forget that name.

I was ready to die. I lied there looking up at the giant statues, lifting up the sword at them.

It then jabbed it's large spear through my chest, lift me up, and dropped me on top of the altar. I lie there bloodied. My whole body throbbing in pain.

' I don't wanna die! I want to protect my sister,I wanted to be a hero too if only I had just one more chance. ' this was the only thought rushing through my mind, as I saw the statue finally crashing down it's spear.

Suddenly, everything stopped, and I heard a voice.

'A chance to live again. Yes, this chance, I'll take it.' I said to myself

[ Welcome, Player. ]

The last thing I remember is a bright flash of light that emitted from me and covered the whole room.

The very next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital.

' Was it all just a dream? ' I question myself.

' No, it wasn't. ' I say after seeing the message popped up.
