Death Note Revive

MATSUDA

Governments are trying to hide reports of their existence. Slim news, if any, are slipping to civilians. Only few know that the biggest superpower remaining is a threat to the existence of everyone and the way of life itself. Having many factions and branches, it is hard to determine where the actual powers of the WDF actually exist, and therefore nearly impossible to stop them. Seemingly each faction has its own agendas, although most have a common goal about stopping justice systems and education in their tracks.

Even though we are extremely small, we have been able to obtain much information on the uprising of the WDF. Its earliest sightings were in Europe, the USA, and Japan. It quickly became too much for the entire world, and even worse, all of the faction linked together, almost as if operating in sync of each other. It's scary to think of how well this plan has been executed by criminals who were once thought to be everyday ordinary people under the pressure of Kira anyway. As just as Kira seemed… without him now… the world has only gotten worse. That's what we're here for. To see that justice sets in, and balance restores itself. We're not the most equipped, we're not the most stable, but damn it, we are determined. And we have the upper hand. The WDF is in a war it doesn't even know exists, and it's against Kira Against Terrorism. Justice will prevail!

Rita, treasurer and historian, KAT

As I fell through the air, I could feel every bone in my body crushing up against the water, and being dismantled into oblivion. I also felt happy. I had just saved a plane full of people, using only wit, and the element of surprise. And if it was true, that the NPA had information on the WDF that they didn't want to get out, more power towards the NPA, and towards justice. That vital information could now be passed on. If I was to die here, I could die happy…

A figure free fell, however, faster than I was falling. I had my arms and legs spread to slow myself down as much as possible, while the figure kept their limbs to their sides in order to accelerate fast enough to reach me. The figure handed me one of the floatation devices from the airline seats and then held on to me as he deployed his parachute. I jerked, badly, but the figure kept his grip on me. The explosion was drifting us slightly away from the dismantled plane, which I was content with not having to go near the wreckage I caused.

"You'll be fine, kid. You're lucky I caught up to you," the figure spoke to me, whom I assumed to be the man from the plane.

"Who are you?" I asked him.

"I'm sorry kid, I have troubles giving out my full name after a case I worked on a while back, but you can call me Matsuda."

"So, are you the agent? Are you the one from the NPA that he was trying to get rid of?"

"Unfortunately, yes. You see, much of the NPA fell apart during the Kira case, and instead of getting better when that was taken care of, it only got worse because of the arrival of this organization."

"Are you supposed to be telling me any of this?" I asked him.

"I suspect you already know most of what's going on, seeing how well you handled that situation. I could have done without the explosion, personally, but I guess that does hinder them a bit."

It was at this moment we hit the water. He unlatched the parachute, and we both held on to the floatation device. As we came back up from the icy waters, we realized how dark the night sky really was.

"Will they be able to find us?" I asked.

"I'd assume so. The nurse called for an emergency helicopter that knows close to our exact coordinates. It may be a bit, hopefully we don't die of hypothermia," Matsuda laughed, but then slowly began to straighten his face.

"So, I've told you more than I should about myself," Matsuda continued. "I want to know some things about you. What is your name, and why are you going to the Kanto Region of Japan?"

"I'm Akindo Yatsuki My mother was from Japan, but moved to America at a very young age. She fell in love with my father, who also had a Japanese origin, but much more diluted with European culture by the time his generation arrived. He was an FBI agent up until the day he died. He was an honorable man, but blamed Kira for killing the men who killed my mother."

"Wait, Kira killed the criminals that killed your mom?" Matusda asked, obviously knowing more about the case than he was willing to tell.

"Yes. I was in Kira's debt, but now he's gone, and a much bigger crime has come from it, all because of his absence."

"But… this would all have been prevented if Kira hadn't existed at all…"

"Not true. Something of this caliber must have been planned longer than when Kira was around. The only problem Kira created was lazy governments sleeping on their jobs. Like the NPA, disbanding from fear of laying their lives on the line."

Matsuda remained silent for a few minutes. He then changed the subject.

"Is your arm okay? You injured it pretty bad when I caught you in the air."

"I'll be fine, considering I'm still alive to talk about it."

It became silent once more, while Matsuda had a puzzled look on his face. He finally stiffened up a bit and turned to me.

"So what is your purpose coming to Japan?"

"I believe we both know the answer to that," I responded.

"But what do you have that is so vital to the case of the WDF?"

"A simple flash drive. It has about five different files with about a thousand locks on each one. The only reason I am heading to Japan is to find a Sayu Yagami to help me out-" but Matsuda cut me off.

"Yagami?!" he responded with shock.

"Yes, my friend, Dean, knows her to be a skilled hacker, having learned from her father and brother's notes, and doing a little bit of her own. I haven't spoken to her, or met her personally, but we figured it'd be too risky to mail the files over the web."

"Good call. But don't you think you're telling me a bit too much?" Matsuda questioned.

"I have a feeling that you know more about everything than you're letting on to."

Matsuda gave a slight chuckle as a ray of light shined on both of us. A helicopter was flying above us, and rolled a latter down. I started to climb, but felt a pain every time I moved my right should, which I could now see was physically torn worse than I could have imagined in plain daylight. They quickly took care of bleeding and gauzed it up. Matsuda followed into the plane.

"Since at this point the closest hospital is in Japan, we'll fly you to the emergency room, just to make sure both of you are one hundred percent," the pilot said. Matsuda and I were both made to take off our clothes and wrap a towel around ourselves, along with some scrubs we were given to wear.

"Sounds like you two have had an eventful day," the pilot joked. Matsuda just gave a nervous laughter.

"Well, you two should get some rest. We'll have you there in a couple of hours."

There was barely enough room to lie down, but at this moment I was thankful that there was at least room enough to get somewhat comfortable. I closed my eyes, but Matsuda started saying some interesting things.

"You said Yagami earlier, right?" he asked me. I simply murmured in agreement. "Can I ask what you hope to find on that flash drive?"

"I'm not sure. I got it from a guy who called himself Near. He was head of the SPK before the WDF destroyed it… the last thing he ever did was give this to me and tell me not to let it slip into the wrong hands. It also said it has all his information on the Kira case for some reason."

Matsuda was silent for a second. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He seemed to be having some inner turmoil, as if he wasn't sure what to do. I knew he was hiding something from me, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"If that stick is really Near's last resort to helping restore justice… then I fear what he's got planned for you. I almost don't want to become involved, because… I was involved in the Kira case…"

That made my head heat up really fast. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. He was one of those most likely responsible for the downfall of Kira.

"Kira was evil… but in a strange sense… he was also good. It's an issue that tears me apart every day. Taking care of Kira was supposed to restore civil justice… and yet we weren't prepared for a world without Kira, because we were too used to a world with him. We didn't ready the world, and now we're suffering. In a way, strangely, I regret that Kira had to go."

Matsuda began to tear up a bit, and silenced himself. There was obviously a lot more there than he had told me, but it didn't seem like he was ready to tell me more.

"Matsuda, you say the NPA isn't really much of an adhesive group now… is that correct?"

"Unfortunately…"

"I don't know if it will interest you… but I'm part of an organization, too. We are mostly college student based, with seven members, including myself. We've done a lot of research on the WDF, and we have learned things through the pieces they give, such as their plans and how they operate. I think you'd an asset to the organization."

"Well, it has been a while since I've been part of a team. And your organization is just to defeat the WDF?"

"For now, yes."

"Well, what is your organization?"

"Well… this is the part I'm not sure you're going to like… we figure Kira began taking care of this, and we're going to finish for him… we're known as Kira Against Terrorism, or KAT…"

Matsuda froze for a minute in deep thought. He turned to me slowly.

"I'm…," he began hesitantly, "…in."
