California, rest in peace.
Simultaneous release.
California, show your teeth.
She's my priestess,
I'm your priest.
It has been almost twelve years since the virus incident where the infamous L, naturally, saved the world from a sick and bloody fate. Near, an ingenious young boy, has been living at The Wammy House where he met the Mello-dramatic Mihael Keehl. Mihael, or Mello as he is now called, grew to despise the young Near, most likely jealous that some one so much younger than him is able to surpass him in most things.
L has been living mostly in peace, solving several crimes a day and feasting on some of his favorite sweets. Though annoyed by the constantly bickering Mello and Near, he remains content until one day he is informed of a cloning experiment gone wrong. Several of the workers at the university's science lab had been duplicated and their clones are the most intelligent beings that most have ever seen. They are not the clones that are usually shown to the public: bum-brained, drooling primates. There was next to no commotion at first, but then one of the scientists was brutally murdered by the clone.
L sees no mystery, just rouge clones, but is intrigued none-the-less.
This is based off of the Death note movies, mostly L: Change The WorLd, more so than the series, so it won't have much to do with the original series.
