《The Underworlds Hero》Hand of Death
Advertisement
'Failure'. That was a word I've heard for most of my life. No matter who I went to, they always told me the same thing. Whether it was my father. "You're nothing but a failure. Don't even bother trying to make anything of yourself. Nobody's gonna see past who your grandmother is."
My grandmother. "You're defective. A waste of my time and a failure as anything worth my time."
Even the people at school. "You're nothing but a failure. Don't even bother hanging out with us."
For years, nobody saw me as who I was. Sadly, nobody will ever that never thought much of me to begin with being Nana Shimura's grandson. Out of everyone, only one person actually showed care for me. "So you've done all this? This must've been extremely hard on you." Looking up from the chaos that happened that killed my entire family, I noticed a man with a suit on and a calm look to him. He knelt down to my level and held me close. I feared the worst was gonna happen and he was going to die like everyone else, but I felt something different. A warmth. Almost as if I was being...accepted. "This world is bittersweet to whomever it comes into contact with. Young man, I know you're part of that woman's lineage and you've had a hard life up till now, but understand this. You don't have to be alone. I'll find a way to help you even if you don't want it."
Tears came down my face as I felt this warmth. For the first time, I was accepted by someone outside of my family. "T-thank you, sir."
"It's ok. My name is Hisashi Midoriya. You don't need to be formal. Now, what's your name young man?"
I was released to look into the man's green eyes as he smiled to reply. "Tenko....Tenko Shimura."
"Yeah, cause I'm gonna slam my foot in your SKULL!" Miruko hopped up and came charging at All Might at immense speeds. "LUNA FALL!" The villain didn't budge, but instead allowed the rabbit hero to hit between his neck and shoulder for the sound to reverberate throughout the facility. "What!?"
All Might smirked at Miruko before grabbing her ankle. He swung the pro by the ankle up before slamming her onto the ground for the sound of her head hitting the hard floor. All Might moved his foot to Miruko's head and attempted to stomp on it before she realized and evaded at the last second.
Standing up with blood coming off her head, the rabbit hero smirked, ready to take on the foe in front of her. "It's gonna take a shit ton more than that to make me kick the bucket. TAKE THIS!" She jumped back up and began moving from wall to ceiling to floor increasing speed as she could around All Might. 'I don't know what happened, but he definitely felt more solid when I hit him. Guess I'll have to use the low blow like the kid said.' Aiming at the villain's left side, Miruko positioned her foot to come charging directly at where AFO caused permanent damage to the villain. "LUNA SLAM!" She collided with All Might's side for the sound of the kick to be several times larger than the first to his neck.

"That should take him down." Shigaraki smiled seeing this for Garaki to laugh. "What's so funny?"
"Unlike you all, I planned for the tangent of this. I had went ahead and given All Might a hyperspeed regeneration quirk as well as a copy of Overhaul in order to heal him. His body now has regained what it once lost and is unflawed. In short, that merely gave a tickle to my master." All Might immediately grabbed Miruko's waist and threw her across the room and into a wall. "AHAHAHA! NOTHING CAN STOP HIM NOW! WITH MY GENIUS AND ALL MIGHT'S POWER, NOTHIGN SHALL STOP US NOW-" All Might came directly to the doctor to use Overhaul on him and turn him into a water balloon.
He began laughing at this with Shigaraki looking at the stain that was once the mad doctor.
"You...you killed him?"
Visibly angry at how little care the blond villain had for human life, Shigaraki clenched his fists in anger.
"You....YOU....WHY WOULD I EVER ALIGN MYSELF WITH PEOPLE THAT KILL JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN!? YOU'RE NO DIFFERENT THAN A MONSTER! AT LEAST AFO SAW SOMETHING IN ME THAT NOBODY ELSE DID!" Somewhat annoyed with the classic one punch line of saying that a hero would never join, All Might walked up to Tenko as he backed up with a little fear.
Miruko recovered and immediately began attacking All Mgiht again for him to block and try to retaliate, only for him to miss. She rebounded back on the ground while looking over at Shigaraki. "I CAN HANDLE HIM! GO! GET BACKUP!" Shigaraki agreed to run out the area knowing that right now, neither stand a chance against All Might at this point in time.
The blond held his hand out pointed directly at Shigaraki.
"What the hell are you doing?"
This confused Miruko for a second not knowing what he meant.
Now knowing what he's doing, Miruko jumped over and tried to get Shigaraki out of the way. "LOOK OUT!" The vigilante looked back to see a beam of energy come at his head with no hopes to dodge. As this happened, he felt himself get thrown out of the way and see Miruko take the attack to her stomach. She went flying down the corridor from the attack for Shigaraki to panic.
"MIRUKO!"
Shigaraki looked back in fear for Miruko while trying to keep eye contact with All Might to avoid giving him an opening.
Remembering Miruko's words, Shigaraki stood directly in front of All Might's path where the rabbit hero went. 'If all else fails, I'm the last line of defense against All Might. So if that's the case, I need to do something.'
"A new name?" Tenko asked while seeing a name changing application given by the country's government.
"That's right. I figured keeping your name as something out of Shimura may help you. You see, I want you to go to school and learn while also becoming something worth your talent. People deserve happiness that did nothing wrong or are trying to fix mistakes they've made, Tenko. I want that for you, but you'll have to give up the name that has given you this grief." Looking at the paper, Tenko questioned if he should or shouldn't. "In the end, this is entirely up to you, so I won't force you to do this."

The small child placed the paper on the table before looking at Hisashi. "What should my name be?"
"Well that is a good question." The older man pondered while remembering what he knew of Tenko. "Tell me, do you feel bad for what you did to your family?" The litle boy held his head in shame while nodding. "So you mourn how they died."
"Wouldn't anyone?"
"That is correct." Hisashi snapped his fingers together while replying. "I got it. Your new name will be Tomura."
"Tomura?"
"It means 'mourn the dead'. It's kinda a way to say you'll keep those that are gone in your heart no matter what. Now for a last name....How about Shigaraki?"
"Why that?"
"When I married my wife, I couldn't give her my last name because of the fear she'd be pulled into my battles. As such, our infant son will go by her last name of Midoriya just so they can live a life that isn't overwhelmed by people coming after them. I know it was to keep them safe, but I felt a little heartbroken knowing that I can never have my son share my last name." Tenko thought of this before Hisashi pulled back the idea. "I'm sorry. It was a greedy idea to give you my last name. Let's pretend you didn't hear this and maybe we can give you the last name Oboro. Kinda a respect towards Kurogiri who's helping raise you."
"....Can I use your last name?" Tenko questioned for Hisashi to pause a moment before smiling.
"Sure. But just so you know, this may be something to come back and hurt you later. Are you prepared for this?"
The small boy nodded. "Mr. AFO, you gave me so much to be happy about since you took me in. I can learn and grow up like everyone else because of you. If I can have your last name, I'll do everything I can to make you proud of me sir."
Hisashi bent down to pat Tenko's head and have him smile. "Tomura Shigaraki it is then." He wrote down how to write the name on a separate paper and then placed the name on the sheet. "There we go. Now I'll be back after I finalize this. I hope you're happy with your new name, Tomura Shigaraki."
The small child nodded while giving a smile at his fatherly figure.
All Might asked while seeing Shigaraki stand in front with his hands spread out.
"I don't care if I lose. I've lived a relatively peaceful life because of AFO. I owe everything to him. If I could do anything for him or his son, I'll gladly do anything needed." Shigaraki slammed his hands on the ground decaying it and spreading it quickly to All Might. "EVEN IF THAT MEANS I HAVE TO FIGHT YOU!" The villain dodged the attack for the crumbling pieces of the ground to come up and hit the walls and ceiling to make them decay as well. "This is all I can do. All I can do in this world is destroy things. Crumble away what exists until ash and dust is left. But even if that's all I can do, I'll decay away your very existence until there is nothing left but dust!"
The area started to collapse with the sky being shown above with heroes pulling police and allies away. "GET BACK! GET AS FAR AWAY FROM THE HOSPITAL AS POSSIBLE!" Pros began panicking with Endeavor and Dabi pulling out Miruko who was barely holding onto life.
Hawks flew over to try and help get them away. "Is there anyone else inside?"
"Shi...shiga...raki...." Miruko tried to speak with her coughing up blood.
"From what we can tell, only Shigaraki and All Might are left." Dabi pointed out as Endeavor continued.
"When we came to the area where the underground lab was supposed to be, Miruko was sent directly towards us with a puncture in her stomach that we were barely able to close. Afterwards, things began turning into this with it being too dangerous to go any farther or even stay."
Another shake happened for the hospital to collapse in completely, encasing both Shigaraki and All Might inside. "I doubt we're getting anyone alive out of there." Hawks stated as everything became quiet. Heroes slowly came closer to the rubble before a giant explosion happened from the inside. "GET BACK!"
All Might hopped out of the wreckage almost immediately after clearly enraged.
In the villain's hands, Shigaraki was held by his neck barely conscious with his body bleeding from his skin cracking open. "You...monster..." He moved his hand to try and touch All Might's before having it sliced clean off by a shot of wind. "AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Every hero prepared for a fight as All Might threw the injured vigilante to the ground and stomped on his stomach.
And that finishes this chapter. So Shigaraki's all or nothing attempt to stop All Might failed with it now falling on the heroes to take down the villain. See what happens next time. Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading.
