Sorry to all my previous readers, but re-doing my story confused me so much that I decided it would just be better to repost it. I have finished writing it, I just don't have time to get on very often. I'll post when I can, but there are no promises… we see how those went wrong……… Sorry for the lost reviews, I really appreciate them and they helped motivate me to finish this story.

To any new readers; there have been a few notable changes here.

1) I've decided to 'switch' Near with L. In other words, Near did something stupid and got himself killed while L stayed alive – yes, Mello is irrevocably dead. LONG LIVE KING KIRA!!! Mwahahahaha!!!

-cough- 2) This is going to be a short story, each chapter is only going to be about 1 and ½ pages on Word. Sorry to disappoint but I neither have the genius or the creativity to make this a novel length fic. It's only to express how I thought the Manga should've ended.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Death Note. If I did, this story would be the ending of said Manga…

Thanks Chozo-Warrior for being my wonderful Beta-reader.

Prologue

"Di- ...will I die?" His pained words echoed through the room. What a silly notion, how could he die – he was to be the God of his new Utopia! "Am I going to DIE!!" He was more frantic this time, desperate. There was still so much for him to accomplish. His life was unfinished.

"That's right, in 40 seconds time…" Replied the Death God as he revealed Light's name scrawled inside the Death Note's page.

"D…die…" The concept was… foreign to his mind. Light had delivered Death to the unworthy – never had he imagined himself on the receiving end of "Justice".

"By a heart attack, it has been decided." Ah, the irony..

In that moment, a thousand thoughts flew through Light's mind, just as a thousand thoughts vanished, a paradox… Die?...

"….No... I don't want to…" He couldn't even speak it... "I don't want to die!"

How could Ryuk betray him? The pain of the bullets paled in comparison to the shock of this discovery. Ryuk… why?

"Five..."

"...please" He plea fell on deaf ears.

"Four" Like the ticking of a clock, his time drew short… "Three"

"Two" It was almost over.

Light looked up, his face impassive. Shadows danced on his features as a dark light shone from his eyes. "...I Win."

His words echoed in the otherwise silent room. Penetrating. Only then was the eerie smile on his face revealed.

Ryuk looked curiously in his cock-eyed way. L's heart skipped a beat, his eyes narrowed – this… was all part of a plan…?

I'm posting the next chapter so you have a better idea of the story.
