Mizu: Now, let's begin the final chapter of Into The WorLd of Murder and Apples
"And what can you do?" Light's eyes shone with a gleeful insanity. "Kill me right here?"
He tilted his head back, his head towards the sky. "Know this, I'm not only Kira... But I'm also... God of the new world..."
Light began to go on about how he was justice and the only hope for mankind. All the while I could only grit my teeth and slightly shake my head. Wondering how he could have gone so wrong. When Light had given up the death note he was an okay person. How could this ultimate power of the reaper easily corrupt him so?
"Someone has to do this! And when I got that notebook all those years ago I knew that I had to do it! No... I was the only one who could!" Light spread his hands out wildly. "WHO ELSE COULD HAVE DONE IT?! WHO ELSE COULD HAVE COME THIS FAR!? COULD ANYBODY ELSE HAVE KEPT GOING!?" He lowered his hands, looking down. "The only one who could create a new world... is me..."
L spoke up from beside me. "Light... You are just a murderer. And just like all the others I've caught you. That's all you are" I squeezed his hand reassuringly.
Near paused, looking towards the ground where the death note lied. "And this notebook is the deadliest weapon of mass murder in all of mankind. You have confused yourself with a god by yielding to the power of the shinigami. In the end, you're nothing more then a crazy serial killer" I saw Beyond look appalled and offended and being lumped together with Kira of all people. Near picked up the freckled, masked puppet labeled 'Kira' and squished it between his fingers. "Nothing more, and nothing less"
Light narrowed his now dull crimson eyes, not like Beyond's or Yuki's which shined brightly, and Near in hatred, before looking to the dark haired genius beside me.
"Near? Here's some food for thought... That notebook you have and the one that Aizawa brought from the Task Force headquarters... are they both real?" He was stalling now. I could see it. Nonetheless, Near still tilted his head in curiosity.
However, I had known what was going on, and told Amaya beforehand. Just then I saw her lean over to her scarred boyfriend's ear and whisper something indistinguishable.
The serial killer wore a smug smile as he began walking away from both groups. "At the moment, only I know where the real notebook is. If you truly want to defeat Kira, as well as test the notebook that Aizawa's carrying..." Light shrugged. "I guess you're going to have to write down either my name, or Mikami's. It's the only way to see if it's real..." Three clicks of his watch. "Or fake!" Light leaned down and hastily started scribbling on his watch.
"He's hidden a piece of the notebook!" Gevanni shouted, just as Mello fired his Beretta 92. Blood splattered from his hand while Mello watched on with an unreadable expression. He clutched his hand in pain, trying to stop the flow of crimson.
Light gurgled, trying to make out words. "YOU! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE SHOOTING AT!?" Mello stayed silent.
But Matsuda had to be held back by Aizawa as he tried to break free and beat Light to a bloody pulp. "What was it all for then? What about your dad!? What the hell did he die for!?" He struggled endlessly.
"My dad...Heaahahaa... You mean Soichiro Yagami? That's right! All those people in the world who fight for justice! They always loose!" He giggled, still heaving in pain.
I growled. "That's a lie Light! L fought for Justice and he's won countless times!" I reached to Mello and took the Beretta 92 in my hand, pointing it at Light.
Matsuda had tears streaming down his eyes now. "You led your own father to his death!"
Light groaned. "DID YOU FORGET WHO KILLED SOICHIRO YAGAMI!? IT WAS MELLO! NOT ME! IF YOU SHOULD BE SHOOTING ANYONE THEN SHOOT HIM!" Without wasting another second, Light hunched over, trying to finish the name Nate River.
"His blood!" Rester yelled.
With a stoic expression devoid of any emotion I fired the gun three times, walking over to him with each shot. "Your a liar Light! Your dad trusted you! And you never gave a damn! What about Sayu!? When she was kidnapped you thought of killing her! Who the hell gave you the right to play God!?" I demanded in Matsuda's place. Light fell into a puddle left by fallen rain, his blood mixing with the clear liquid.
Struggling to stand and eventually falling with his hand outstretched to the black haired prosecutor he pleaded desperately. "Mikami! What the hell do you think you're doing!? Write down their names! Write them down!" He sobbed.
Now, Beyond had left off all restraints. His eyes shrunk smaller and he pulled a gleaming kitchen knife from his pocket... Before charging at the handcuffed man.
Near's bodyguards didn't even try to stop him, almost nodding as if they agreed with his sentiment, as the knife went through his chest.
"KYAAHAA! KYAAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHA!" His laugh wasn't like Lights. It was somehow... familiar... and comforting in a weird way. He didn't stop bringing the knife down until I could only see a smeary husk of internal organs and the bloody painter with a knife as a brush. Beyond grinned. "I haven't had this much fun is years..."
Yuki couldn't take the sight and delved into the snowy boy beside her, burying her head in his white pajama T-shirt, as Near awkwardly wrapped an arm around her comfortingly.
"W-Where are you Misa?... Takada...!" Amaya looked like she was resisting the urge to spit on his form.
As Light was huddled on the ground I knew that it was over.
And then, his tortured, bleary eyes focused on me. "M-Mizuki..."
"You tried to kill the ones that I love. My friends, my family, my loved ones... Don't think I want anything but hell for you... Light Yagami" As these words left my mouth, Ryuk seemed to materialize beside me.
Fixing his olive-like eyes to the space above his head, Ryuk cackled dangerously. "Well Light. Looks like you lost... Remember in the beginning when I said that I would be the one to write your name in my notebook? That is part of the agreement between a shinigami who brings a death note into this world, and the first human who picks it up. So now that it's over... It looks like you'll die here..." With his face spawning that yellow fanged grin, he brought his death note up and began to write.
夜神月
"Well Light, it's been interesting..." With the final scratch of paper and without another word, Ryuk spread his sharp raven wings and flew into the sky, moving through the ceiling, and gone forever. The only evidence that he ever existed was a single black feather.
I stood up from his body, the task force eventually taking it away from the scene to do some kind of police check up. Silently, everyone filed out from the room too. Halle asked if Near would be going but he simply said that he wished to talk with his mentor without their assistance. They nodded and left the warehouse.
"So... What now?" I echoed, bringing only the uncomfortable silence.
We all looked at each other. "I'm not exactly sure... but I am aware that we can at least explain all that we don't know to each other" L glanced at Near, him being the only one unaware of this being a real life manga.
"Okay... Hey Matt, didn't you say we should go to Wammys?" The redhead grinned and nodded.
Mello scoffed. "Are you sure you're not going just to get your old gameboy?" Most of us laughed a bit at Matt scratching his head awkwardly.
With a smile, I pulled L into a tight embrace, relieved that we were safe, that he was safe, and I had finally saved him. The smell of stardust filled the air as a small smile graced my lips.
"It's over..."
-End of Into The WorLd of Murder and Apples-
