Chapter 24-Endgame
"L...I will kill you.." Light muttered as he stood outside the wharehouse. Slowly, he walked in and saw L standing in the center of the room.
"You're late, Yagami-kun." L said.
----------------------
"Has anyone seen L?" Amaya asked in a slightly worried tone.
"I thought he was with you?" Mello replied.
"I did too." Amaya muttered. They both turned and looked at Near, who had turned away to play with a puzzle. "Near, do you know where he is?"
"Do I have to answer that question?" Near calmly asked as he continued working on the puzzle.
"It would be helpful if you did." Mello muttered angerily.
"What happens if I don't?"
"I'll destroy all your toys." Amaya replied coldly.
"Fine." Near sighed. "Follow me." He said as he stood up.
------------------------------
"I'm glad you showed up, Yagami-kun. I was afraid I'd have to kill you."
"L, where is the Death Note?"
"Right here." L said as he held up the black notebook of Death.
"Give it to me."
"Really? I though you would want to hear how I stole it from you first."
"Give it to me."
"It very simple, all I did was.."
"I don't care how you managed to get it, just give me the Death Note!!"
"Fine, Yagami-kun." L then tossed the Death Note. Light walked over and picked it up form where it landed. As soon as it was in his hands, he started laughing.
"L, either you've gotten slow or you've gone insane, because you've hand me your death."
"Is that so?"
"Yes! Just because you're part angel doesn't mean you can't die! You may not be able to die by a heart attack, but I can still kill you!"
"Then go ahead and do it."
"Gladly." Light said as he scribbled down the letter 'L' into the Death Note.
-------------------------------
"How come you've never shown us this room before?" Mello asked when Near led them into a room full of monitors.
"Look, it's L!" Amaya exclaimed when she pointed at a monitor that showed L and Light standing in what appeared to be a wharehouse.
"Near, could you explain to me what you're doing?"
"I had cameras installed before we came here." Near began. "Unknown to you two, L has been carrying out his own plan to bring Light. I was unaware of it at first, until I saw him on one of our computers hacking into another computer. I confronted him and he told me his plan. I was impressed, but there were several major flaws, so he allowed me to install cameras into the wharehouse he was using. That way, not only would we have evidence that Light was Kira, but if L needed us to come, we would know."
"So you knew about his plan the whole time and never told us?!" Amaya yelled.
"L and I did not think it was necessary for you to know until he confronted Light face-to-face."
"You weren't going to tell us until the last minute? What's wrong with you?!" Mello yelled.
"I could ask the same about you."
----------------------------------
10...15...20...Hurry up and die already! Light mentally screamed. This has to work...it has to...50...55...60... Light looked at L, hoping that he was going to die. A full minute passed and nothing happened. Why isn't this working?! Was I wrong? No, I coudln't have been wrong, but then why? He glanced at the page and read it again to make sure it was right.
L: At 5:15 P. M., a cord hanging from the ceiling snaps and swings down. The cord wraps around his head and severes it.
"Something wrong, Yagami-kun?" Light glared at L.
"Why? Why won't you die?!" Light yelled.
"I thought you already knew why, Yagami-kun. Or do you prefer Kira?"
"You're still part humans, humans die!"
"So you figured that since I'm still part human, you could kill me? Interesting, even though your plan wouldn't have worked in the first place."
"What are you talking about?"
"Because, once again, Yagami-kun, the Death Note you possess is a fake. The real one is right here." L said as he pulled out the real Death Note.
"Damn you..." Light muttered.
"I'm sure you know what's going to happen next. I hope your Shinigami friend doesn't mind." No, he wouldn't... But then Light noticed that L was pulling out a black pen from his pocket.
Desparate, Light pulled out the gun he had brought with him and fired three shots. One, hit L's hand, causing him to drop the pen and the Death Note. The other two hit the barrels of oil that sat on the toher side of the room. Flames burst from behind L and soon the two of them were surrounded by flames. Light and L glared at each other.
---------------------------
"I believe that's our cue." Near said as he watched the flames that soon disappeared as the screen went blank since the camera had obviously been destroyed.
"What if the fire department gets there before we do?" Amaya asked.
"That's why we're only going there to meet L, not save him."
"But Light..."
"L can take care of himself, Rin. You shouldn't worry about him." Mello said.
-----------------------------
"You planned this all long, did you?" Light said angerily.
"Of course, you forgot that we spent quite a while chained together. You have quite a temper, Yagami-kun, which was why I was able to steal the Death Note. I knew my messages would provoke you and that you would spendmore time trying to decode them instead of guarding you Death Note. I also knew that Misa was at a shoot, which made thing even easier."
"Damn you!" Light screamed as he fired another shot, which missed.
"I believe this is the part where I kill you." L said as he picked up the Death Note and started writing Light's name in blood. "In one minute, Light Yagami aka Kira will die of a heart attack." Light's eyes widened with fear.
"No, I'm Kira! You can't do this to me!"
"Thirty seconds Yagami-kun."
"L, you're rightous, right? Don't you think that all those criminals deserved to die?"
"That's not up to me or you, it's up to the Law to determine that."
"But look at the world now! Now almost no one commits crimes!"
"What you've done is destroyed the balance between good and evil. Ten seconds Yagami-kun."
"No!" Light aimed the gun at , but suddenly his heart felt like it was being torn apart. He fell to the ground, gasping for air. "Die L..." Light muttered as he pulled the trigger with his last breath. When L heard the bang, he clutched his chest and fell to the ground for his heart felt like it had exploded.
