Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Confrontation – The Shadow of L

[Scene 1: Panic in Interpol]

The world was in a state of silent terror. In a high-stakes emergency meeting at the Interpol headquarters, the air was thick with tension. Fifty criminals, all across the globe, had died of heart attacks within a single week.

"This is not a coincidence," one official shouted. "This is mass murder. We need help from the only person who can solve this... we need L."

[Scene 2: The Trap is Set]

In his room, Light Yagami watched the television with a cold grin. Suddenly, the broadcast was interrupted. A man appeared on the screen: Lind L. Tailor.

"I am L," the man declared. "Kira, what you are doing is not justice. It is pure, cowardly murder. I will find you!"

[Scene 3: The Fatal Mistake]

Light laughed. He grabbed his pen and wrote 'Lind L. Tailor' in the Death Note. Exactly forty seconds later, the man on the screen clutched his chest and collapsed, dead.

[Scene 4: The Counter-Strike]

But then, the screen flickered. The image was replaced by a gothic letter L.

"I... don't believe it," a distorted voice said. "Kira, that man was a criminal scheduled for execution today. This broadcast was only aired in the Kanto region of Japan. I know where you are now, Kira."

[Scene 5: Declaration of War]

Light stood in stunned silence. L had lured him into a trap.

"I will find you, Kira," L's voice echoed.

Light gripped his desk, a predatory smile forming. "Try it, L. I'll find you first. I am Justice!"
