Chapter 9 – Light
Raye Penber was a busy person. It was that day that he had to meet his fiancé to elect a caterer for the wedding, it was that day that he had to examine numerous people connected with the Kira case, and it was also that day that he was going to provide evidence that one family in particular was not associated with Kira. One boy. Light Yagami. However, the most important part of that day, was that it was that day that he was going to die.
On his way to his hotel to meet the caterers, as if controlled by an odd whim, he stopped moving towards the door of the train. It was his stop, but he decided to ride the train for a short while longer. The doors closed, and he began to move along.
As he looked around, he saw a brown envelope on the shelf opposite. No-one was standing by it, and he felt drawn to it. Lifting it, he found that his name was boldly printed across the front.
In shock, he ripped it open, and removed the paper inside. In short, it instructed him to wear headphones included in the pack. He lifted them, and attached them, instantly hearing the voice of Kira.
"Hello, Raye Penber." Light smirked, talking in to a small microphone as he hid in the next cart, watching Raye. "There is a sheet of paper included, with holes in it, leading to a second sheet. Fill in, in these spaces, the names of each member of the FBI task force who came with you. And in case you have any doubts about me being Kira, observe."
As he spoke, a man near Raye rubbed his chest, before slumping to the side, apparently asleep. Raye knew better. He was in the presence of Kira. He knew that there was no way to fight it, and sat down, scrawling the names instantly. He finished, and placed them back in the envelope.
Light smiled, though he needed to have a duel to kill the other agents, and though Raye was under his control, as his name had already been written on the cards' accompanying paper, along with the names which Raye had just added, Light felt like toying with him for a short time longer.
"Now, Raye Penber, It's time to duel!"
In a blink of his eyes, Raye was standing on what he at first thought was the top of the train. However, he soon noticed that he was standing in a swirling vortex, on top of a large metal platform. Opposite him was a large glowing floating force field, concealing the man behind it. Raye saw his deck already in the disk on his arm, and he knew that he was about to fight for his life. What he didn't know was that he was fighting for the lives of every FBI agent.
"Raye, I shall begin by placing my Death Marshall on to the field, and setting a card face down. Now make your move, fool."
Raye stared down the tall demonic creature, before turning back to Kira. (1400/600). "What makes you think that I am a fool, Kira?"
"You have directly opposed the most powerful force on the planet. Surely you saw the immense power that I command? Because of your idiocy, that strength is now directed at you."
"Fine. Then I shall defeat you, and destroy you forever. I shall begin by summoning my first agent!"
A man wearing a longcoat and shifty sunglasses appeared, drawing a gun from his belt and pointing it directly at the death marshall. (1100/400).
"Weakling!" Light laughed "Your monster is far too weak to scratch my death marshall."
"But it has an effect!" The agent exclaimed "When battling a fiend type monster, it gains 600 additional points!"
Light seemed unsurprised, and as the bullet blasted out of the gun, he lifted his hand, causing his face down card to rise.
"I counter with coin of death!" He smiled. "This quick play spell card enables me to flip a coin. If the coin lands on heads, you receive 500 damage, and if tails, I take the hit."
An enormous spectral coin appeared between the two monsters, as the bullet froze beneath it in mid-air. It flew in to the air spinning, before landing on the floor, with a large notebook carved in to it. Written over the top of the notebook, it said 'Tails'. Light scowled as his life points fell to 1500, but he flicked his mouth instantly back in to a smile.
Inside the bubble with him, Ryuk turned around. "Hey, Light. If you're losing, why are you smiling?"
"Because of my monster's effect, Ryuk. Each time any spell card is played, it gains 300 points."
The marshall glowed and grew slightly bulkier, and deflected the bullet away, charging at the FBI agent. It smashed it, but a second bullet pierced its heart simultaneously, and both exploded.
"Now, Raye Penber, it's my move. I think I'll start by summoning my death flailer."
The powerful, flail-wielding demon appeared before Light, and leapt straight towards Raye, slamming its tool down heavily on him. (1850/600). Raye scowled through his wounds as his life points fell to 150.
"Kira, why do this?" He pleaded. "We both want the same thing; the incarceration of evil, and its eventual destruction. Why fight?"
"Because we don't want the same thing. You want to give criminals a slap on the wrist, and then send them on their way. My new brand of justice means that no evil shall escape from my grasp. And by opposing your new god, you are evil, Raye Penber. Now make your move, and prepare to die!"
"Fine then, devil." Raye frowned "I leave you to your new world. I summon my second agent!"
A second Agent appeared, though this one was taller and far more powerful looking. (1500/400). The Agent lifted his own gun, and shot at the flailer violently.
"Once again, my agent ahs an effect. He gains 400 additional points when fighting a fiend, bringing him to 1900."
Light merely ignored his monster's destruction, and the loss of 50 life points, as he readied himself for his last assault.
"Kira. I am afraid you have failed to realise something about us. We won't lose this battle. Because we have a leader like none other; the genius, L."
"No genius can oppose the might of Kira." Light smirked. "I am invincible. I am forever. I am unstoppable. And most importantly, I AM GOD!"
Raye clutched his shoulder in pain. "Fine then, god." He mocked. "You shall learn your lesson in hell. It's time you met the leader of my deck, Commissioner Morrison."
A man appeared in front of Raye, who looked very similar, though he held a large rifle, and his coat was a pale brown, whereas Raye's was grey. (2100/1000).
"This card can be summoned straight from my deck by tributing any agent on my field. Unfortunately, I have already conducted my battle phase, so I set a card and it's your move."
Light laughed. "You fool, you cannot win. I have been controlling this game from the start. Your death has already been decided. This entire day you have been under my control, and with this next card, your monster is also under my control. I equip your card with note control!"
A notebook appeared in front of Light, and he scribbled a sentence in it, as the Commissioner appeared on his side of the field. He chuckled, and looked up, only to see another exact copy on Raye's field, and Raye's face down card lifted in to the air.
"I activate my own card, undercover agent. This card means that when you take control of one of my monsters, I can create a copy on my field. You see, Kira, I have already realised what you have done to me, but I shall fight you regardless. I can win, and I can destroy you with my own death."
"No, you can't." Light smiled. "I now tribute my copy to summon my Death God!"
The death god appeared in front of Light, smirked evilly as it flapped its wings. (2500/1800).
"Kira, you have made a vital error. You see, my commissioner gains 400 attack points when battling a fiend, and also causes all of your monsters to lose 300 attack points. That leaves your monster with 2200, and mine with 2500!"
"The only error is in your maths, Raye. The card you have there is a copy, not the real monster. Therefore, it has none of the originals effects! Therefore, my Death God shall attack and destroy you and all of the other agents forever! Goodbye, Raye Penber."
The demon flew forwards, slashing through the commissioner with its scythe, and descending to Raye. Its grim hand moved slowly towards his face, as his vision subsided to a single silhouetted figure. He raised his finger to point, and tried to open his mouth, but no words formed. Then suddenly, everything went dark, and Light Yagami was gone.
