Light Yagami opened his eyes. He didn't know where he was or what day, month or even year it was,
but he knew one thing; he had lost. Near had beaten him.
Near was the one who ruined his plans of becoming the God of the perfect new world.
It was this thought he clung onto whilst trying desperately to see where he was.

And slowly, the world around him came into focus. Strangely, he was lying on a staircase, in what seemed to be an abandoned building. He winced as painful memories flooded his mind. Near. Matsuda. Ryuk.
Death.
He had died, but somehow he knew he was still alive. He was Kira. He was justice.
He was God.

Slowly, painfully he stood up, glancing at his multiple bloody wounds and the pools of blood surrounding him, spilling down the stairscase and all the way to the door.
He wondered what happened to the death note. Depending on how much time had passed since his last encounter with Near, there were two possibilities;
1. Near had long left and burned the notebook, securing the ashes and concealing its existance from the rest of the world.
2. Near had not yet burned the notebook and still had it in his posession.
Light only hoped it was the second one.

_ Somewhere in jail..._

"WHY, GOD?! Why did you have to die? The world needs you god, come back! Come back, God!"
"Will you shut up already Mikami! You've been calling for God for over a year now! Kira is dead!"
"N-no! You're wrong! God told me in a dream! It was part of his plan!" Mikami screamed.
The other prisoner shook his head. "Honestly, Mikami. Kira is never-"
At that point the second prisoner in Mikami's cell clutched his chest and fell to the floor, dead.
And Mikami knew his god had returned once more.
