Death Note Revive

CONSEQUENSES

It's been one year since the Kira went away. Maybe he found the world to be a loss cause and simply drifted away, until his reign was all but a faint memory. The killings seemed to almost halt, as if Kira had been stopped. Perhaps L had found him? Perhaps the United States governments hadn't surrendered the Kira case, and were able to eliminate him? It is also possible that Kira retreated… but that couldn't be. Not the Kira I knew… he would never have let the world develop into the hell it is now… Kira… Come back…

I am Akindo Yatsuki, I am twenty years old, and am currently in school to become part of the exciting world of Criminal Justice. Ever since I was a young boy, I would love anything to do with law. Arrests, jails, prisons, courts… even death… whatever was just needed to be. Even the least heinous of crimes would perplex and enrage me. I had no tolerance for criminals, despite their lame excuses, or how intelligent they thought they were. I did receive many values from my father, who was an FBI agent for most of his life. We would discuss education and his line of duty. It interested me to know what was going on, to get the inside scoop, and really get a feel for how things were running.

Following in his footsteps, I took my own path down the line. It meant the world to me. From time to time, I would read court excerpts and summaries just to understand how the law functions, and how much a little difference could make in the eyes of the law. I believed in our system… until the man that murdered my mother was able to cheat the system, and get off because of insufficient evidence! The very system I knew and loved had become a giant loophole, nothing more than a game for criminals. They knew how to manipulate the system and how to maneuver through everything the law book threw at them. Crime rate increased and sentencing was at an all-time low. The system seemed to be a very different being, from the one I used to love and respect.

Although I was losing faith in the system, I couldn't let my father find out that I had doubts. He loved the United States, he loved the FBI, and he loved my mother. Even after the failed conviction, he stood by the law, and let it go. He was always strong when it came to things such as that. It would have devastated him to know that his only son was having doubts about what he did for his country. I couldn't have dreamed about telling him… and one specific case in the Kanto Region of Japan made it a possibility that I'd never have to doubt him, or continue to live in an unjust world… it was all thanks to a new justice system… KIRA…

Tabloids, news, internet, television, ect, ect; it became inescapable news. There was a pattern of heart attacks in suspected and convicted criminals. It began as a rumor, that there was a new God, and right away it had my interest. My father wouldn't want me talking about 'Kira,' for it was all just nonsense, a random happenstance. It was nothing more than a coincidence. Criminals started dying in greater numbers, however, all kinds: felons, the ones not convicted, the released ones, and any other possible criminal responsible for major crimes. A rift came between me and my father, however.

While researching trials and law, I came across what I thought would be exciting news. The man who had murdered my mother had died of a heart attack. The article ran itself through my mind many times. I couldn't speak, I couldn't breathe. All I knew is that a man whom the law had failed to seize was finally brought to justice by a simple heart attack, the calling card of the rumored God, Kira.

My father didn't receive the news as well as I did. He felt that the murderer had been cheated out of his life by Kira. He now believed that something was definitely up, and that it was no longer coincidence. Anytime I asked him about the case, trying my hardest to sound like I wanted Kira to be enslaved by the very chains of law that couldn't hold down real criminals, I discussed the case further with my father. He told me that we had our best sleuth in on the job, now. I had only once heard of a case in which this particular detective helped, but it was supposedly a big deal. I had even been able to help a bit within the case, but I felt it unnecessary to get too involved as my father knew what he was doing.

Having heard that he was going to be assigned to this task, I knew that the case had grown into a far too perplexing phenomenon for the FBI and other investigators who were initially assigned to the case. No one knew his name, they only knew a simple initial…L. Using a masterful strategy, against a power that was a complete enigma to him, he was still able to learn about the true identity of Kira quickly, having narrowed him down to the Kanto Region of Japan early on in the investigation.

Suddenly tabloids burst with news of L vs. Kira, and stuff about who would catch whom first. I followed every article I could of the event, and watched every television special. They didn't carry too much information beyond what had already been made public, but they were interesting to say the least. It became intense when a second Kira came into the picture, and it seemed as though L was outmatched. He never missed a beat, though, and kept the investigation running for well over five years, which included the death of a suspected Kira, who turned out to be an imposter according to news. There were only a few dry times in the investigation where Kira would stop killing at a time, probably because L got on his tracks. Somehow, though, Kira kept going.

Government after government, federation after federation, and nation after nation had all given into the might of Kira. He had become law, he had become government, and he had become justice. The crime rate would only drastically decrease; there was no need for law enforcement.

I moved on with life and went to my new school. I was still studying for law, but the need for it had been getting much thinner as time passed. My only dreams were to represent Kira, and allow him the legal freedom to continue his ways, as he wasn't as corrupt as the system. He would only kill criminals, and persons with hostile intent towards our new God, which he should have every right to. My father and I had a falling out, and the last thing I heard was that he had joined a new organization, the SPK, a new organization that sprouted in America to find and take down Kira. Before my father could act upon it, however, he died a long struggle with illness. Kira smiled upon the commendable work he had done, and allowed him to pass on peacefully.

Life was great… but great things always come to an end… Kira seemed to slowly dissipate from this wretched world, as the crime rate slowly crawled its way back up for the first time in six years. Tabloids started to worry that L had won, however nothing was made public by the Japanese task force or the SPK. No news about the Kira case, beyond one statement by the head of the SPK, who revealed himself as a man named Near. He released the following words: "the Kira situation has been taken care of."

L and Kira quickly faded from life when that statement was made, as did many other things. The moment the statement was made, the crime rate spiked in a dramatic fashion. The government itself was finding it hard to pick itself off the ground after having been out of commission from criminal justice in over five years. Crime grew more steadily than our own defense, and soon, terrorism became the world's biggest threat. A worldwide terrorist organization had become the strongest power of the entire world, having started from a network of underground criminals that grew under media headlines, to insure that the plan could come into fruition the moment Kira was gone. They called themselves the WDF, the World Domination Force, and they planned to take over while every country was in distress from the rebuilding process of their own criminal justice systems.

So who am I? I am Akindo Yatsuki, I am twenty years old, and currently going to school to join the exciting world of criminal justice. I head my own organization, comprised of six other members from my school. Together we have formed the Kira Against Terrorism unit, or KAT. We don't have much at our disposal, and with the WDF threatening to shut down all of the schools, that's not the best thing in the world. But despite all that is against us, we have one thing in our favor.

I payed a personal visit to the SPK myself to try and make sense of the Kira case. The SPK was one of the few law enforcement agencies still going strong… which make good sense as to why the WDF bombed the SPK before my arrival. All that was left was rubble, shattered dreams, lost hope, and bodies. Many bodies. There was one hope, however. I found someone, barely alive, who handed me a flashdrive.

"Don't let them get their hands on this," he said with his dying breath. I stayed at his side until he was nothing but a corpse, and slowly realized that this was Near, the head of the SPK. If he was handing me something, it must have either been important, or he must have been desperate.

So what does KAT have that makes us the world's only hope? What was so valuable that Near wouldn't want to let slip into the WDF's hands? And why would I allow our group to take on such an honorable name as Kira's? Because…. We know the location of the Death Note…
