A/N: Okay so this story starts during the final scene with Near and Light in the warehouse. However, this is an alt ending because in the world of fan fictions this can happen and everyone knows we love it. It gets alternate about from the point where Light begins to go nuts. :P Read, review, flame it, love it. Just remember I don't own any of it! Though if I did I would have lots of money. And that would be so cool. But I am not rich and therefore could not be the owner of death note.

Prologue

The time had come. Light had thought about this, he had calculated every step Near would make. Today, finally, he would win. Kira would win. All others who opposed him would be taken care of. They were the impure ones. He was righteous. The world knew that now. They chose Kira as their god, and Light was ready to reign over everyone as their god for now and ever.

Light waited for Aizawa to finish his check of the building. His plan was going along perfect… or rather Near's was. It was too easy, too predictable. Light was already counting the bodies in his head. Kira's world, his world, the only world that could survive was upon them with no one to oppose him. It would be complete too soon, if Near went with the plan Light knew he would.

Light entered the warehouse and looked at Near. He felt his stomach roil in revulsion. Ryuga's face stared at him as a mask. Near, how dare he? He could never, ever be half the man Ryuga was. If Ryuga had survived he would have caught Light, he was close. Light was sure that Ryuga had been a problem best dispatched, however Near was predictable to the last detail. Light resisted the urge to pull the mask from the child's face. No, now was the time to remain calm. Keep his force believing him. At least, Matsuda. The others, however, Light was sure at least suspected him, if not were totally convinced that he was Kira.

Near played each move step by step how Light had known he would. When Near took off his mask, Light felt a jolt. The kid's face, the shape of his hair, and how he twirled one lock. Light saw another boy's face in his mind's eye, crouched over his knees, chewing methodically on one thumbnail. Light slammed a mental door on the image, focusing on the task at hand. There was no need to be distracted by ghosts of the past.

Teru wrote the names of the people in the room down in his death note. The seconds ticked by. Light could taste victory. None of the past mattered, he was already looking to the future. Ryuga, Kiyomi, Mello, even… his father. None of them mattered. The time for the future had come and Near was only making it too easy. Near thought that he was so smart, that he had fooled Light. He was very wrong. Light almost laughed at the stupid boy, but he couldn't yet. He called Teru into the room inviting him in. The seconds fell away, slipping out of reach, time was leading him to his new world.

"I've won, Near." Light let a grin spread triumphantly over his face.

But 40 seconds came and went. None of the detectives fell. What was happening? Why was it all going wrong? He began wildly scrambling for reasons, excuses, anything that could salvage his victory. Nothing helped, nothing worked. He talked to them, begged them, told them about their wicked ways. No one could hear him, not even Matsuda who he had trusted to believe him.

Ryuk looked at Light, and could see the clock above the boy's head. He chuckled lightly as he saw the clock tick down, so few minutes left. Well at least this human relieved his boredom for a good many years. Now that Light's time had come, Ryuk merely sat back and watched his pathetic feeble attempts to save himself. Light retrieved his scrap of death note paper he kept hidden in his watch, and tried to write Nate River's name on it, but Matsuda shot him.

Light couldn't believe it, even as his wrist screamed in pain, that this was happening. Things were unraveling and it was all Mikami's fault. Three more minutes slipped away from the time left in Light's existence and Light was finding it hard to keep the seconds from falling from his hands. Light tried to reason with Matsuda, but it was no use. Trying a new tactic used his blood to write the name down, scratching the letters with a fingernail. His hands trembled, from blood loss and pain, but he kept writing. R-I-V-E…

Shocks of agony exploded all over his body as Light was thrown to the ground. Panting and gasping for breath Light found something warm pressed to his throat. Light thought he panted out Matuda's name, but wasn't sure if he actually said it, or only meant to. Why? Light thought Matsuda understood, thought that he believed in Kira's vision. He thought… no.

Light shouldn't have let the older man get that close to him, but Light couldn't help feeling a certain kinship with him, almost like friendship. When Light was younger, he had found himself looking up to the goofy police officer. What was happening? Why was everything falling apart? The second between the pressure on the trigger and Light's demise lasted forever. More than it should have.

Light forced himself up to look at the men pulling Matsuda away. A hole on the ground next to Light showed him how close he was to death. Each wave of nausea reminded him how close he still was. Another minute ticked by. His questing hands found a paper nearby. He could see the letters, most of them smeared by blood, but he knew the rules, as long as he finished the name, he could win. He could still win. "R". Light grinned, the name complete. 40 seconds, and it would be okay. Near would die. It would be fine. He would be fine.

Ryuk took out his notebook. Perhaps it was time to keep his promise, to be the one to write Light's name down. Fourteen minutes showed over one head, forty seconds over the other. Light chuckled weakly to himself. He had won, the world was now Kira's Kingdom. He found himself loosing focus. Somewhere, he wasn't really sure where anymore, someone called an ambulance. He could hear Ryuk say something, but Light didn't know what it was. He heard a commotion somewhere else. Several people fell all around him. Then Light wasn't sure of anything anymore.

A/N: So? What do you think? I'm posting chapter one very soon but I think that this was a pretty decent way to change things. I know this is just a recap of the last episodes minus what I changed, but chapter one is where my new vision starts. I'm not too sure how many of the people survived this ordeal, but I know I want to keep a few of them. Anyway, please review okay? Love ya!
