Chapter 2 - Panic

2 weeks later

"More and more criminals are going missing since two weeks ago. It is still not known whether or not they are alive or dead. We are not able to receive footage of the disappearances taking place because the police have taken the footage as evidence. Is this a new vigilante? What are they trying to achieve? We'll get back to you soon with updates about the case."

Light inwardly smirked to himself.

'I'm unstoppable. There is no way to link the murders to me. My stand Killer Queen is perfect for the job.'

"I sure am!"

Light had learned that he could telepathically talk to his stand, not having to speak aloud.

"Light! What do you think about this?"

Light looked down at his little sister Sayu, sprawled out on the floor watching tv while eating some potato chips.

"It intrigues me but it may just be a hoax, a made up story. They aren't even showing us any video of the disappearances taking place."

"Ah that's right! Light as usual you have the situation all figured out!"

"Ah please Sayu, it could be real just as it could be fake. In actuality, I have no clue whats going on."

Light sighed internally.

'Sayu as expected is interested in this case, instead of watching her romantic television program, she's watching the news.'

Light was watching the tv scanning the names for more victims when he heard the front door open. He looked over to see a tired looking Sochiro Yagami.

"Hey dad, hows work?"

"I cant discuss the specifics but we are still investigating the missing criminals."

'I cant believe it. 789 no... since today its 812 people That are missing'

"Ah I see. Well go get some rest father. I assume you have a long day at work tomorrow."

"Will do light, but first how are your studies?"

"All my work is turned in, and my grades haven't faltered one bit. As planned in a month when I take my finals I will graduate at the top of my class."

"As expected of my son!"

Sochiro smiled at his brilliant son before heading upstairs.

"Well Sayu, its 8:30. The news will still be there in the morning."

Light shut off the tv.

"Fiiiine."

Sayu puts away her snacks and runs up the stairs to her room.

"Heh heh."

'No. I cant falter. I must keep it in my mind. I must do what Light Yagami would do. No laughing at unnecessary times, no doing anything a normal person wouldn't do.'

"Better safe then sorry right?"

'Right.'

And with that light went upstairs to his room and laid down in bed.

'Killer queen.'

"Yes?"

'Are there others like you? Like, that you know of?'

"No, not any that I am aware of... although in the morning I have something I need to tell you."

'It cant be said right now?'

"Its a lot of information, it can wait until tomorrow."

'Alright then. Tell me as soon as I wake up.'

"Will do."

The following day

"You expect us to believe that people are disappearing all around the world and you have no lead on it at all?!"

"Seeing is believing it seems, play the tapes!"

This is a meeting of the ICPO. Representatives from about every country in the world are here to asses the the issue with the missing criminals. Sochiro Yagami and his co workers are also here as the meeting is taking place in Japan. The projector shows a man sitting in his cell, he begins to grab his head as he suddenly vanished. For a split second he was there and the next he was gone. A representative spoke up in shock.

"What was that!? Did I blink or something? Where did he go?"

The head of the meeting stood up to speak at the podium.

"This footage is unedited. We even have witnesses admitting that they were able to see nothing as well."

The representatives spoke in hushed whispers among each outer as one speaks up.

"Who ever is doing this is a criminal. For all we know It could be safe guarding these criminals! If we find out this is the US government's doing there will be consequences!"

"That is highly irrational! may I remind you that the united states is under treaty and would not dream of safe guarding any criminals!"

Back and forth arguing continues and a cloaked man steps out from the shadows and everyone's attention was brought upon the man.

"Who is he?"

"When did he get here?"

"Who invited him? I demand to know who this is!"

The head of the meeting is visibly annoyed and he erupts.

"Quiet!"

This silences everyone and no one dares to speak up.

"Look at yourselves! We accomplish nothing by blaming our allies. I had a sneaking suspicion that we would get nowhere, and that's why I accepted L's offer of accompanying this meeting."

"L?!"

Many exclaimed at once. The representative of Russia points to the cloaked man.

"That's L!?"

"Of course not! He is an associate of L"

As the cloaked man stuck a thumb drive in the projector. An old English L flashed up on the screen as a robotic voice emitted from the projector.

"Greetings. I am L. I have personally taken interest in this case and I will be assisting the ICPO in taking down Kira"

This sparked soft discussion in the Japanese team before Sochiro himself spoke.

"L, I am honored to be in your presence but who is Kira? That's killer in Japanese if i'm not mistaking your use of the word."

"Yes I was getting to that, someone is killing the prisoners and my current theory is that they are currently residing in japan. No more than 2500 kilometers from this area."

The representatives explode in rebuttal.

"Preposterous! You make bold claims! Show us proof!"

"Is this guy a joke? He deduced that he's no more than 2500 kilometers away from us in so little time? Ridiculous!"

"Bold accusations require bold proof. And I will be happy to supply. But ill need cooperation."

2 hours later

'So what you're telling me is that only stand users can see stands?'

"Absolutely correct"

'So the explosions too I suppose?'

"Once again correct. From what I saw when leaving the victim is that no one could see or hear the explosion. Your guess on what it looks like to a normal person is just as good as mine, however to a stand user... no matter how small I am if they were to look for me they would be able to see me in the eye of the victim and also hear and see the explosion."

A small scowl appeared on lights face.

'Troublesome... but however they can do nothing about it! You travel instantly from my eye to the eye of the victim! There is no way It can be traced back to me!'

Lights tv switched from the news to a worldwide broadcasting.

"What the...?"

"This message is brought to you by the ICPO. Stay tuned for crucial news on the missing criminals case."

The tv cut to a man with black hair and a suit with a name plate that had the name Lind L. Taylor on it.

"Greetings people around the world. I am Lind L Taylor also known by my more popular name L."

"L?! The world famous detective!?"

"As you may know, many criminals have gone missing due to an unknown entity. I am currently under investigation and will solve this case in no time."

'In no time!? Who does he think I am? I must control my anger! my mother and sister are downstairs probably watching the same thing.'

Light began to smile.

'No matter. Ill let him taunt me... but the price will be his death! Killer queen!'

Killer queen transferred into Lind L Taylor's eye and noticed that something was wrong. But it was too late.

"Goodbye, Lind L Taylor."

Nothing happened. Killer queen returned with a grim look.

"That's not the real Lind L Taylor."

Before Light could respond, Lind L Taylor still alive stopped talking. Not normally either, it was as if someone stopped a recording. then his flesh started to shift into a purple hue of color and his neck started to get wider. A timer was present on its forehead and it begun to speak in a robotic sounding voice.

"Well well well. You came out to play. Allow me to explain what just happened. You fell for my trap Kira. Come, go in my stands eye. Your stand can talk cant it? Your stand is powerless unless you know my name anyways. I'm not scared of you.

'What is going on!? He should be dead, I killed him! I'm sure of it! Wait, how does he know I need a name to kill my victims?! Grrrrrr'

"Well? I'm waiting kira. Its not fun just talking to a camera you know..."

"Pft as if light, only an idiot would do tha..."

Light smirked 'Exactly. maybe we can turn this in our favor'

Light sent killer queen into L's stand's eye. Killer queen imitated a voice of a man in his early thirties.

"You called?"

"How unexpected. I never would have imagined you would have actually come here."

"This is your stand?"

"I suppose since I invited you here I might as well give you some 'cookies and milk'. After all, you've given me plenty. Yes this is my stand, Moody blues. It can reenact events as so long as my stand is in the area where the events took place. The real Lind L Taylor was here not 15 minutes ago. only you and other stand users could actually see the broadcast. I am confident however that you are the only stand user watching this because... I lied." "This is only broadcasting in Tokyo and due to the rarity of stand users in this world... I can only assume its only you watching."

"Speechless? I'm sure you are... after all I narrowed my odds down to 1 in 9 million."

"How did you know I was in Tokyo?"

"Oh ho? Curious? Its no skin off my back if I tell you anyways, two words kira. Torocho Himata."

'Damn you L! I was careless!'

"...Oh"

"Looks like you're not as smart as I anticipated. Torocho was your first victim, a test subject, meaning you just got your powers recently, two weeks ago in fact... your stand, its can transfer into the eye of its victim through any picture or video. The real Lind L Taylor, is dead."

'That bastard!'

"So its not against your morals to kill either?"

"How idiotic. You had no way of knowing this but Lind L Taylor was scheduled to be executed tomorrow. It seems that even you have no way of acquiring this kind of information on these types of criminals... Your time is short Kira. Enjoy it while it lasts, because ill be seeing you soon."

And after L had said that his stand Moody blues dispersed sending killer queen back to light. What followed after was a broadcaster declaring that this had been a test broadcast in case of future broadcasts as such. Light slumped back into his chair defeated.

'You won the battle L but not the war. How lucky, You just admitted to working with the ICPO. I made a mistake, But you made a fatal one as well. Ill use my dad to find out your name and kill you. L... our battle has just begun... Kira? I like that name. Ill accept it as my name after I kill you and become god of the new world.'
