"My normal question is 'why do the good die young?', but now I feel like asking 'why are the evil immortal?'"—This was the question that prompted this, go thank Trisphee if you like it that much.
The previous chapter will have a happy ending and I will put it in here some time…
Also, I don't own DC or MK.
Immortality was not all it was cracked up to be. One the world reaches a certain state of decay it all ends and the immortal do not want to live another day. It was now that this world reached that state, the Black Organization had won, The Thief and his detective now lay dead for 1,000 years and the very fabric of time was corrupt. Time stopped, the clocks halted before resetting themselves…backwards, spinning wildly, the clocks turned back; back to that fateful night all those years ago, before the world was tainted with pain and blood, before The Fall.
It had been a good start to The End, a bright morning and no clouds in the sky. The night before had been a Kaitou KID heist and the return of the Detective of the East, no one was expecting it all to blow up. It had been rumored for seven years that the reason the Detective had disappeared was to fight a crime syndicate and upon his return it was assumed he was successful. This was unfortunately not true. Sure, the top man had been killed but several lower members had escaped and had told a brother syndicate what had happed.
This syndicate was even less know and more ruthless then the one before and they wanted only one thing, Pandora. Or maybe it was not the stone itself they were after but immortality? No matter, they were angry enough to drop the search for the famed Pandora to start events that would send Time and the world spiraling down until the end.
Revenge for their fallen brethren was first and foremost on their mind. They ordered their top marksman, Snake, to get it over with and just blow up the whole Kuroba house, mother and teen inside. It was splayed all over the news within a few minutes and blamed on a gas leak and an unattended stove top. People mourned the accident but went on with their lives, no one noticed anything off with the incident.
To the Syndicate dispatching the Detective and those close to him was almost laughably easy. Kudo gets caught in a gunfight on one of his cases. The Mouri girl gets hit by a drunken driver, Mouri Kogoro dies from alchohol poisoning, an angry defendant from a case takes care of Eri Kisaki, Kudo's parents die in a plane crash, and a fire takes care of the next door neighbors. No connection can be found and the police force morns, having lost many friends and companions. People are suspicious but nothing can be proven.
KID never makes another appearance and Saguru Hakuba leaves Japan. The Syndicate was then in charge and Japan was cowering in fear. Rebels could only do so much and all were eventually killed. The Syndicate spread, slowly at first then quickly, they soon covered the entire world. No country was free and they all lived under one supreme ruler. Civil Wars were the only wars raged and they raged often killing millions every years. By the 1,000 years marker it ended. The world was dead and scarcely a handful of humans were left, empty and baren the Syndicate knew its time was up. For 1,000 years they had been the ones in control, now the world crumbled around them and collapsed. It reset itself though, tried to give everyone another chance. At the End it destroyed the entire Earth, and everything on it and started anew, from scratch. History repeats itself over and over until… one little blip on the radar, Shinichi Kudo never returns to his original form and Kaito was not at home that day.
Maybe today, maybe this time, time will set itself right.
