Epilogue:
"Rebel With A Cause"
Demetre and Adam took an elevator down to the underground storage facility underneath the Savant Mansion where Demetre stored his motorcycle, while Geist and Angel transversed ahead through the floor transposing their bodies like spectres.
Geist couldn't believe how far he had come since arriving in the Human World. Originally, he wanted to be strictly entertained like Ryuk had with Kira; he had spoken to Ryuk in the future and the Shinigami told him his entire adventure.
Ryuk was chained up like some dog in a cave when Geist saw him, he did a lot of damage in the Human World. When Ryuk returned, the Shinigami King stripped Ryuk of his Death Note and prohibited every Shinigami from leaving without strict authorization. And yet, Geist purposely disobeyed the rules and dropped his Death Note to the Human World and travelled one thousand years into past to retrieve it.
However now, and despite trying many times, he could no longer open a spacial gateway back to his own time period, effectively cutting him off. Either the Shinigami King was preventing him or the timeline had changed due to his efforts—changing the atmosphere of his world. Had he been successful? There was no way to find out. Nevertheless, it meant he was trapped in the past without a way back.
He knew that was risk when he dropped his Death Note, but now reality set in. But, he didn't want to go back. He liked it here. And he had had a lot more freedom and all the fresh apples he could eat.
Demetre Draycott had not been involved in the original Kira Incident, as it was to be later be known, nor had Zurn Wellington. But much like the theory if one small thing is changed in the past the future can be profoundly altered now rang true. Geist had checked his Portable 'Hole' and learned the timeline had been changed, but only slightly from last he did. Something about the Third Kira had changed, which then changed another event, and so on. Demetre, himself, had not changed things as far as he knew. And he may never know.
But something about the mugger Demetre had killed to save his own life was important to the changed events. Geist just didn't know why? Maybe he had been the original Third Kira, now replaced by this new person with the Death Note Rem, Misa's Shinigami, found?
The Kira Incident was still to occur, but Demetre's rivalry with Zurn was new, and would now be interposed within the framework adding a new element to the events which would create some welcome and brand new entertainment that Geist had no idea the outcome. And this excited him. It was exactly what he wanted when he dropped his Death Note. Something new to explore and witness.
He was thankful in meeting Demetre. He was a human he could call a friend instead of just using him to add to his lifespan. According to Shinigami Law, it would have fallen onto him to write Demetre's name in his Death Note. However, with Demetre's little trick, equivalent to what Shinigami called the Infinity Rule, that was gone. Besides, he had no intention of ever doing so. He liked Demetre Draycott.
He felt sorry for Angel, however, with Dana Chika's death. She loved Dana and Geist had got used to Dana being around. Demetre really loved Dana and after he brought Dana's body back to the Savant Mansion and explained what had happened to Tacoma, one of the High Council members, Demetre later went back to his quarters and spent an hour crying. All Geist could do was to be supportive.
Selfish or not, Geist was glad Angel had no killed Light Yagami. He knew Angel blamed both Light and Zurn for Dana's death, but if Geist had lost Angel, he wouldn't know what he would do. He loved Angel like Demetre loved Dana, so he understood on some level Demetre's heartache.
Demetre and Adam exited the elevator on the storage level, it was three levels below ground. Geist and Angel waited near a caged area where Demetre stored his motorcycle. His previously motorcycle had been destroyed during the mission to save Light Yagami from Zurn Wellingtons's assassin Bryant Harvey. But Geist thought this model was a better, slicker, and badass! Like it belonged to a rebel with a cause.
Demetre entered the cage storage area and unveiled the steel black Kawasaki Ninja 250R motorcycle under a tarp. Geist had been told that Demetre's father had taught him how to ride dirt bikes when he was a kid and later a motorcycle, so it was natural this was his ride of choice.
Demetre and Adam put their gear in the two rear storage compartments. It was a one-seater motorcycle, but Adam was small enough to ride behind Demetre, and there just happened to be another helmet. However, Adam could not hold onto Cerberus as he rode, so the Pomeranian dog/Shinigami was handled off to Angel to carry, since Angel had wings and could fly. Geist also had wings that he could protrude from his back, it was how he managed to fly over the Kanto Region and find Demetre in the first place when he emerged from the spacial gateway.
Adam took a moment and felt for Zurn with his special empathic gift. But he was unsure. All he knew was to head north.
Demetre revved up the motorcycle, then he and Adam put on their helmets.
Then Adam suddenly pointed. Geist was taken aback that the boy was pointing at him, or at least in his direction. Adam tapped Demetre's shoulder, getting his attention, and the moment Demetre looked, it appeared Demetre smiled behind his helmet.
What's so funny, Demmy?
Geist looked confused, then he looked at Angel, who was holding Cerberus in her arms like a new-born infant. Then he understood. It was like the birth of new family, and in a way, he had been the architect that brought everyone together. Geist smirked.
Demetre than directed for them to go.
Adam wrapped his arms around Demetre's stomach and the motorcycle kicked off, following the common area up three floors, and out of the garage entrance into the light. The Shinigami followed in winged flight as the motorcycle pulled onto the open road.
And Geist couldn't wait for a new adventure to begin, one where he had no idea what would happen.
