Duckburg, Calisota, January 29th 2011:
Two members of L's task-force were in a car, on their way to the docks. On their way there, one of the two was particularly uneasy about what they were about to do.
"Why is this happening at the docks?" he wondered, "I mean, it's so cut off from the outside world,..."
"Which is exactly why they'd pick such places, Matsuda." the other replied.
"I know that." the uneasy one, Matsuda, responded, "But..."
"You're just afraid, aren't you?" the other asked him.
"Afraid?" Matsuda sounded almost angry, "Why would you say that, Ide?"
"As a cop, you should be ready for anything." the other one, Ide, explained, "But I suppose, what with the whole "death note" history, and knowing that were not up against just an every day drug, or group of dealers, I don't blame you for feeling nervous."
"Nervous?" Matsuda questioned, though there was a hesitation in his voice, "Chasing after somebody that can kill you just by writing your name somewhere, THAT is something to be frigtened about! This is nothing!"
"Maybe nothing to be frightened about." Ide agreed, "But still enough to make you nervous."
Matsuda couldn't believe what he was hearing, but Ide continued: "A drug that, when taken in, makes its drinker next to invincible."
Matsuda hesitated, but gave in: "I... I guess you're right."
"Besides, L promised us that we'll be assisted for this." Ide added.
"And that's supposed to make me feel better?" Matsuda wondered.
Ide shrugged: "It's true that L hasn't always been completely honest with us, but with something like this, I'm sure that he'd keep his promise here."
Matsuda stopped talking here, but he still couldn't help feeling shaky.
The car arrived, at the docks, where Matsuda and Ide got out and ran to where they were told to go. Inside an old building, on the second floor, they had a clear view of what's happening at the pier, where a hooded person was sitting, waiting, and even with the little light that the moon gave them, they could still see that he was shaking heavilly.
"He wouldn't be in withdra..." Matsuda spoke, but almost too loud so Ide had to shush him.
Once Matsuda stopped talking, Ide whispered through his radio: "Mogi, Aizawa, Yamamoto, you all here?"
"Mogi's here." one voice replied.
"So am I, Aizawa." another replied.
"Er... me too." the third one, presumably Yamamoto, answered.
"Look." Matsuda pointed.
Two shadows were closing in on the hooded figure. The latter heard them come, so he turned to look at them.
"Are..." he hesitated to speak.
"Are you Conner?" one of the shadows asked, his voice sounding quite heavy.
"You don't exactly look as tough as you sounded." the other, who didn't sound so heavy, but did have something peculiar about his voice, as though it were a pig talking.
"Look, I haven't had another one in days now, I'm pretty sure I've worried my friends by now, and if I don't get any more, I'll disappoint them gravely."
"Hey, Bebop!" the heavier one started, "That's a first!"
"I heard stories how people are disappointing others by taking these things, not disappointed by not taking them." the other, apparently called Bebop, agreed.
"Will you two just stop beating around the bush and give me my stuff?" Conner became impatient.
Meanwhile, the one called Yamamoto had looked through his binoculars, with which he could identify the hooded person. He looked at his face, then looked at a picture that he had in his pocket.
"That's our missing hunter." Yamamoto spoke, "Though I have to wonder why these drug addicts always wear hoods."
Mogi, who was with Yamamoto, sighed, "I never thought I'd someone more annoying than Matsuda."
"Hey!" Matsuda shouted, in reply to this.
The drug-dealers turned to look around. Clearly, they heard Matsuda shout.
"Now look at what you've done." Ide spoke.
"We've got no choice now." Aizawa then decided, "We've got to move in."
Everyone agreed, so they started shining their flashlights onto the three and raised their guns.
"Police! We've got you sur..." Mogi started shouting, but stopped.
The moon itself only made the two dealers appear somewhat monstrous, but that could mean that they were just a bit larger than the average person. But once they were in the beams of their flashlights, they could be seen more clearly. The reason they looked monstrous was because they didn't look human at all. One of the two looked more like a humanoid warthog, and the other had the appearance of a rhinoceros.
Ide was the first to snap out of this: "Let's get them!"
The other four agreed, so they got out of their hiding place and charged towards the two.
While the two were distracted, Connor saw that the rhinoceros was holding some kind of a bag, which he took from his hands and ran away. The rhinoceros shouted after him, but he that's when the five cops got closer to them. They had their guns raised.
"Hey!" Matsuda just realized, "Shouldn't we be taking that guy too?"
"Shut up, Matsuda." Mogi said to him.
This was an opening of which the rhinoceros took advantage. He bowed his had, so to have his horns point at the cops, and ran towards them. The warthog, meanwhile, took out a machine gun that he had hidden in his coat. While Matsuda himself fainted, something hit the rhinoceros in his shoulder, while the warthog's hands were hit as well.
"Wha... what just happened?" Yamamoto wondered.
"Must be that sniper L hired." Aizawa said.
"Great, since Matsuda failed on us." Ide sighed, looking at his fainted co-worker.
The other three got closer to the two. This is when the warthog tried to take his pain, raised his machine gun, and despite the pain that he felt in his hands, he shot at the three cops. This is when a bullet had hit him in his head, which was the only thing that stopped him from firing. Ide looked at this, stunned by what had just happened. So much so that he didn't notice it when the rhinoceros had found enough strength to get up and impale Ide with his horn. More bullets were fired, but either the bullets didn't penatrate the rhinoceros, or they didn't hurt him enough.
Conner heard several shouts and gunshots, but he didn't listen. He ran as fast as he could, but got stopped somewhere along the way. He didn't see his attacker, so he couldn't have done anything about it. He got up to fight, but didn't see anybody. That's when he got punched in his face. He fell down, but still tried to see his attacker. He looked around him, but still couldn't see anything. This is when he felt something trying to take the bag he stole from those dealers away from him. He tried to hold on closer to it, and that's when he saw what attacked him. He felt something pulling on his bag, but he didn't see anyone pulling. It was like who or whatever was doing this was invisible. This is when he felt a punch in his stomach, which really knocked him out.
"And people called me insane." the invisible person said.
