Second to None

To Japan With Beyond!

Beyond Birthday POV

When we reached the new door I crossed my fingers this would go well. Mello opened it to his men who glared angrily at me. I checked the lifespans not letting the red show and saw Mello's hadn't dropped any more than usual. I couldn't see mine but I decided I wouldn't go down without a fight and none of the men's numbers fell more than usual either. "OK" Mello began "first of all I did give you a warning he's a serial killer. Second I gave you all an order not to mess with him. Dicer ignored both and paid the price. Unless any of you want to join him you'll obey orders from now on got it?" he finished with a stern glare. "Questions?"

A tan man of Hispanic origins named Emanuel Rosaro 12 raised his hand. "Uh yeah… how many kills does that make for you exactly?" he asked me.

"17" I lied with a straight face and he seemed surprised. "I may look weak but I know my way around weapons. I am a lethal weapon myself as evidenced last night" the last part was a lie but it was a requirement for the older kids at Whammy's to know basic weapons training as well as how to fly certain aircraft and drive different vehicles. I was actually kind of bummed we didn't get to learn how to drive a boat. I mean England is in an island for chrissakes!

"Any more questions?" Mello asked. When no one raised their hand we left and went back to Matt.

Once we reached the room I turned to Mello and said "big problem. That was the only self-defense move I know."

"Well then…" he went to the wall and grabbed a handgun "that's what these are for. You know how to shoot right?"

"I'm a bit rusty but yes I know how to shoot." He nodded in approval. "Matt may I see the files now?" I asked looking over Mello's shoulder to see Matt opening several folders with random non-Kira-related names. "'Mario Party Cheats'?" I asked confused.

Matt snorted. "I have them memorized already but no one plays my games here but Mello so no one would look there."

I snickered "what is it with Whammy's kids having obsessions. Speaking of which Mello I need some stuff."

He looked concerned "you haven't started smoking too have you?"

"No. I need some more clothes. This is my only outfit and I am NOT wearing your leather pants that have had your bare parts in them and Matt is much shorter than me."

"I prefer vertically challenged" Matt interjected. "Or fun sized whichever you prefer."

"Either way either of your clothes won't fit me… or I just flat out refuse to wear. I also want strawberry jam" I said.

"I can get you that stuff" Mello said. "I'll also get you some white shirts, baggy faded jeans, and gray contacts."

"You want me to pretend to be L again?!" I demanded looking at him like he was crazy.

"You have the skills why waste them?" Mello said this as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Hey are we gonna look at these files or not?" Matt asked as he opened a document of information. I read over it and was greatly impressed with all of the information gathered.

"Where did you find these files?" I asked curiously.

Matt" Mello said simply.

"I dare you to find a better hacker in the whole world" Matt said smugly.

I glanced at the information looking at the first known kills. It almost seems like they were doing this during school hours… but then things changed. If they can kill without being there it isn't that much of a stretch they could have learned how to control the time it happens. "Do you have any video?"

"Yesss…" Matt said as he pressed a few keys and a folder labeled "Mello's Christmas Wish List" opened. A file taken from what looked like a prison showed a man reading a book Juan Diaz 13 suddenly the numbers moved so fast they looked like blurs. They didn't even slow down until the man died. I gasped and they turned to me. "The numbers dropped as it happened!" I exclaimed excitedly.

"Really?!" Matt asked excitedly.

"Sadly we still have no clue as to who it is" Mello said with a frown.

"I think it's a student who was smart enough to plan how to not only kill remotely but control the time. I am the first person who could see this is supernatural. Unfortunately unless we go to the source there isn't much we can do."

"Well then… we need those clothes and IDs ASAP because we need to go to Japan" Mello pointed out.

"To Japan with Beyond!" Matt said and I smacked him for the bad pun.

"To Japan with Beyond!" is a pun for Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear's catchphrase "To infinity and beyond!" I couldn't go the whole story without making at least one "Beyond" pun.

Also sorry this is short compared to the others I am once again working on the plot. I have several random chapters written ahead but I changed a HUGE part of them to a different element I wanted in the plot.
