An Xtra Note
He wasn't always a good successor. Expectations were to be filled, business to complete, and other duties of L. Near did possess ability to do these acts, but only focused on copying L and distracting himself from his original purpose.
To succeed L. Not copy him.
Most of this was shown during Kira's fall at the warehouse. Near's plan was presented to be flawless. He made it look that way. The only reason he managed to defeat Light Yagami was because of his grunt's slip up.
One tiny flaw. Props to Near for pointing it out, but it wasn't excellent investigating and research that brought him to it.
A mere shot in the dark. Near didn't know anything up until then.
The entire S.P.K consisted of morons who had no idea what was actually happening until Kira took them out. They were just like Near.
Except a lot dumber. Pretty obvious.
His tactics are hasty and blunt. If Kira had paid a bit more attention, he could have beaten Near.
What a glorious outcome that would've been.
Sheer luck was what brought Light Yagami to power, and same
to Near for defeating him. This whole Kira Incident was just two sides doing research of something they could never understand. It was all guessing.
Just. Guesses.
"What is your point?!" Shouted a distressed individual amongst a crowd of investigators and officials, who also were involved in the Kira Incident.
If cameras were enabled, they could see him grin.
"What my point is, I'm not like your previous Trump Cards," said a distorted, seemingly exasperated voice.
The crowd whispered, confused on what he stated. A man stood forward, "Explain already!"
The distorted voice chuckled, staying silent for a few more moments, then speaking, "I will not be hasty, I will not look for loopholes in the evidence, I will not guess. You've been using the deck wrong, gentlemen. You were distracted by Trump Cards but never looked and saw the Joker."
"I am X."
A/N: It's just a prologue, the story will be explained, but you can get a little more detail in the description. Anyway, chapter 1 will be up in a week or so. If you like what I've got so far be sure to Rate, Review, and Favorite :3
