... And from then on, there could be no doubt that Kira was the sole perpetrator of all of the deaths. After all, it was just way too suspicious.
"Catch Kira! No one is safe!" The citizens roared.
Suddenly, a white background with a giant L displayed on every TV available, broadcasting a synthetic voice.
" THIS IS L. EVERYONE, PLEASE REMAIN CALM. I HAVE UNCOVERED SOME IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT KIRA THAT WILL SURELY BRING US ALL CLOSER TO THE TRUTH. BUT BEFORE THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO ISSUE A CHALLENGE TO KIRA.
KIRA, WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO KILL ME?
GO ON. I'LL GIVE EVERYONE THESE CLUES IF YOU DON'T. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE? AT THIS STAGE, NO ONE EVEN KNOWS WHO I AM.
WELL, ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT? I'M WAITING....
TICK TOCK, KIRA.
TICK ....
... TOCK ....
... TICK ....
TOCK.
OH WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE FOR SOME REASON, KIRA CAN'T KILL ME. THAT'S VERY INTERESTING. WELL, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, HERE ARE THE FACTS OF THIS CASE...."
It would seem that L received Kira's message and was prepared to make his presence known. The citizens listened intently to the man claiming to be L on their televisions, before setting out on their witch hunt. Eventually, the mob settled on Gynne. Intoxicated on her wine, the prisoner went quietly. For a moment, she even believed she was Kira. On the way to the jail, she started to babble, and the news reporters ate up her confession like sweet, sweet honey. Convinced that the real Kira was captured, they broadcast the news - that the criminal was a young perpetrator named "Excel Excel," and her life's goal was city wide domination, or something like that. Joyous celebrations were held in the streets.
The real Kira, of course, didn't mind this turn of events. It gave him more time to play... and to wipe out some real competition for killing everyone in the world. While chilling at home, he casually wrote in the Death Note, "Lord Voldemort - hurls self into a volcano." Then, feeling a bit peckish, he took a potato chip, and ATE IT.
By the time the chip was EATEN, the commercial break was over. The news continued.
"In other news, this morning the dark lord, Voldemort, was finally defeated by his arch nemesis, Harry Potter. He is totally dead already."
Kira spat out little bits of potato chip all over the screen. "SON OF A b***h!!"
And then he flipped his table. His rage was insurmountable. Blissfully ignorant to the whole "Prophecy" thing, rendering the death note's use on Lord Voldemort PROBABLY IMPOSSIBLE ANYWAY, he really wanted to steal that kill. It would have been SO COOL.
---- Meanwhile ------
The "Shinigami" had stalked yesterday's target to the NPA's headquarters. So, they were hiding him, eh? Well, this time the target would not escape the deathly gaze. The one gifted with the Eyes had a plan. A plan that would not fail.
Wearing a clever disguise, the "Shinigami" knocked on the door to the NPA's office.
Opening the door and clearly unimpressed with these obvious shenanigans, the Chief punched the bag-head right in the skull, forcing the Shinigami to retreat for now. The shinigami's target remained safe and sound inside the NPA's headquarters.
--------
There were no casualties!
#003 Gynne was jailed!
Sorry for the late update, I got caught up in shooping the picture and then this was sort of long to write, because I decided I wanted to give the NPA the same update credit that the G-Team would usually get if they stopped a kill. So there will probably be more G-Team and Shinigami in the updates if they continue to save successfully.
Anyway, as always the voting will end at 11 PM PST.
