Joshua's parents jumped into the room at the sound of a gunshot. Joshua's father held a W1200 Shotgun from his army days, while his wife held a bat. They saw two figures.
"Do not worry, mother. It's just a fake gun and fake blood. It's called role-playing. You see, this is a fake gun made to simulate a real gun's sound, and Light and this young woman here were seeing if I could be part of the Role-Playing Club at school," Joshua said, while giving off a teenager-ish kind of sigh.
"Well… oh…" sighed his parents. They could not simply believe that their child owned a gun, so they accepted his lie.
"Now, will you please leave us alone?" asked Joshua.
"Sure… sorry we ruined your fun," replied his parents. His dad was trying to hide the shotgun behind his back. They then left.
"Now, before you explain the shit you've done, I must write some names down," said Joshua. He picked up a pen and wrote two names of people who had wronged his plans. The woman suddenly spoke.
"You must realize that we are immortal by now, right?" asked the woman. "Oh, and the name is Joanne."
"I don't plan on killing my new advisors for when I rule this planet. I am the future emperor, and all great leaders need their advisors," replied Joshua. "Now, Light, explain why you are here. Ryuk has already told me the whole Kira story, but tell me how your rebirth was possible."
"I'll just say I made a deal with the Shinigami King. But, more importantly, there was another one who helped us. I remember a familiar voice, a hoodie, and a-" Light cut himself off.
"What?" asked the three others at the same time.
"That was L! I can't believe I helped L come back to life!" screamed Light, who began to grab and shake his head uncontrollably.
Ryuk looked at Joshua at this moment and yelled himself. He seemed afraid.
"Why can't I see your lifespan? You are no shinigami! But… no… THAT STORY IS JUST A MYTH!" yelled Ryuk uncontrollably.
Joshua ignored it and wrote one thing in the Death Note:
Mesopotamia is where it, the salvation, will lie. Mike foxtrot'ing world is romeo.

L stepped up the stairs to Near's fortress, ignoring the blaring cameras.
