Death Note Sequel idea

[Dandorian]

I'm trying to do a sequel for Death Note. Yes i know it may sound like a crap idea but i wanted to try it out anyway. Here's what i've tried out. (I know it is not in proper script format but hey it's not like i'm gonna try to make it actually become a real thing. this i purely fan based and all credit for death note belongs with it's creators.) if you think this okay but needs work please lend me your opinions. also it is based on the idea that Misa Amane did not commit suicide.

 

Opening Scene: Shinigami Realm; Ryuk is sitting on a rock starring off into space

Rolick: “Hey Ryuk…” Ryuk turns.

Ryuk: “What do you want Rolick?”

Rolick: “The Old Man wants to see you.” Ryuk stands up and looks surprised.

Ryuk: “About What?” Rolick shrugs.

Rolick: (shrugs) “I don’t know he just sent me to get you.” Rolcik turns to leave.

Scene 2: Shinigami King’s throne room; Ryuk enters through an arch way left of the Shinigami King’s throne. Shinigami king (S.K.) is slumped down on the throne.

Ryuk: “You wanted to see me?”

S.K.: (Turns towards Ryuk) “Tell me Ryuk… What is the purpose of the Shinigami?”

Ryuk: “Uh…” (S.K. tilts his head) “Well we take the remaining life span of Humans.”

S.K.: “Is that so?”

Awkward pause as S.K. eats a human world apple

Ryuk: “Um… was there a reason you wanted to see me?”

S.K.: “Yes… As a matter of fact there is.”

S.K. takes another bite out of the apple

Ryuk: “Aren’t you even going to tell me?”

S.K.: (Stands up towering over Ryuk) “The last time you went to the human world you lost TWO of my precious notebooks and watched them burn!!!” (Ryuk starts fumbling with his hands and trembles.) “I think it’s time you received your punishment.”

Ryuk: (gulps) “P-p-punishment?”

S.K.’s head becomes eyelevel with Ryuk’s and nods.

Scene 3: Portal to the Human World

Ryuk: (sighs) “Well… back to the human world. It’d be nice to get some more apples anyway. (Flash back)

S.K.: “I want you to go to the human world and find a very particular human and give that human this.”(S.K. hands out a skull shaped pendant. Ryuk takes it and examines it.)

Ryuk: “Sounds like a lot of work just to hand over a piece of jewelry.”

S.K.: “And one more thing,” (Ryuk looks up at S.K.) “you may only take TWO notebooks. ” (S.K. extends all four of his hands) “I’ll be holding on to your other three notebooks.” (Ryuk reluctantly hands them over.)

Scene 4: Human World; Yagami family shrine: Ryuk lands here while Mrs. Yagami and Sayu are paying their respects. A man is standing behind Sayu with his hand on her shoulder and a little boy at her side.

Ryuk: “Humans and their beliefs of heaven and hell. Too bad Lite isn’t in either.”

A limousine pulls up. Misa Amane steps out. A young girl follows out behind her. Everyone turns.

 

(OK so FYI i made this part up. Lite got Misa pregnant a few weeks before she was kidnapped I know it never happened in the series but i wanted to add hope people don't get offended by this addition.)

 

Ryuk: “What’s this?”

Mrs. Yagami: “Misa, Miharu it is good to see you again.”

Ryuk: “Miharu?”

Miharu: “Hello grandmother.” (Miharu gives her a hug as Misa bows.)

Ryuk: “Grandmother?” (Ryuk remembers something) “Ohhh, so Lite left behind a bastard. How sweet.” (The conversation bores Ryuk so he flys away) “This may become interesting latter.”

Scene 5: Misa’s Apartment: Misa places her purse on the counter and hits play on her land line phone. The reader states she has 13 new messages. Most of which were of her manager informing her of her schedule. She ignores them and draws a bath. Miharu jumps down on the couch and watches Narato. (Scene skips to Misa soaking in the bath.)

Misa: “Oh Lite, why did you have to die?”

Misa has a flashback to when Kanzo told her of Lite’s death.

Kanzo: “I’m sorry Misa. But if it weren’t for Lite’s death we would never had caught Kira.”

Misa: (sobbing) “How was his death the result of catching Kira?”

Kanzo: “I can not say Misa. Please try to understand, Lite did everything he could to end all of this. He did it for your sake. Can’t you let that be enough?”

Misa: “NO!!!! You don’t understand. Lite meant everything to me.” (continues to sob Kanzo tries to comfort her. Misa grabs her abdomen) “Mochi…I’m pregnant.”

Kanzo: (shocked) “What?!” (Flash back ends)

Misa: “Yes. You died in order to catch Kira.” (she stands up and wraps the towel around her, then hits the wall.) “But Kira took you away from me! From Miharu! I’ll never forgive Kira for that. I hope Kira’s burning in Hell right now for his deeds.”

Scene 6: Some open sky in America ten years latter: Ryuk is flying and talking to himself.

Ryuk: Stupid new rules. I can’t believe that Old Man would do this.”

(flashback to the conversation with S.K.)

S.K.: “I’m making you the prime example of my new rules Ryuk.”

Ryuk: “New rules?”

S.K.: (Finishes his apple) “Yes. My first new rule is this ‘If a Shinigami drops a notebook in the human world, then that Shinigami must protect that notebook and it’s owner until the owner dies or renounces ownership of the notebook.’ Also I added a second rule which states ‘If a Shinigami only has one notebook and drops it in the human world, that Shinigami must report immediately to the Shinigami King in order to receive a new notebook in order to protect the one that was dropped.’ My third rule is ‘If the owner of a Death Note tries to destroy it then it is the Shinigami’s duty to kill the owner.’ In other words I’m not allowing anymore of my precious notebooks to be burned.”

Ryuk: “Why make these new rules? You never had much problem with notebooks being destroyed before.”

S.K.: “Because I was board.” (Picks up another apple.) “And because you brought these accursed apples from the human world.”

Ryuk: “Well that’s not fair.”

S.K.: “Precisely.” (takes a bite out of the apple)

(Back to the scene in America)

Ryuk: (Grabbing his hair in frustration) “How am I supposed to find this human he want’s me to find?”

A school bell rings in the distance. Ryuk looks over and sees two collage students walking out of a high school with a high school student. The collage students are a male named Cyst Evens and a female named Mary José. The high school student is a female named Joan Evens. Cyst is pronounced “sigh-st.”

Joan: “Come on Cyst. Who do you like more, that Kelly girl or Alice?”

Mary: “Cyst doesn’t have to tell you.”

Cyst: “Cut it out you two.” (Opens the car door) “I don’t like either of them.” (all get into the car. The car drives away)

Ryuk: (The pendent around his neck gets heavy and pulls him down) “What the? Hey take it easy will ya?” (pendent seems to be fallowing the car) “Apparently I found the human. But which one is it?”

Scene 7: Entrance of some apartment complex; the car stops and Mary gets out.

Joan: “Bye Mary! See you at work tonight.”

Mary: “Okay.” (the car drives off and Ryuk is pulled along with it)

Ryuk: “Well, that’s one down.” (Ryuk flies into the car)

Joan: “So what’s her name?”

Cyst: “What?”

Joan: “That girl you went out with last week.”

Cyst: “None of your business.”

Joan: “Oh come on tell me.” (makes a pouting face)

Cyst: “She’s just a friend.”

Joan: “Then it wouldn’t hurt for you to tell me her name.”

Cyst: “She’s a fellow student in my business law class.”

Joan: “She studying to be a cop like you?”

Cyst: “No, she’s aiming to becoming a Detective.”

Joan: “Like Sherlock Holmes.”

Cyst: “No, Like ‘L’.”

Joan: “El? As in the Spanish word for ‘The.’”

Cyst: “As in the letter L… it all happened during our parent’s time. Twenty-seven years ago a killer named Kira appeared and started killing off criminals in Japan. Soon he started killing criminals all over the world.”

Joan: “How could he do that?”

Cyst: “I don’t know. But anyway a few months latter the U.N. called in the world’s greatest detective. His code name was ‘L’. It took him years to track Kira down and put a stop to his reign of terror. By then the world’s crime rate dropped seventy percent out of fear of Kira.”

Joan: “That sounds like a good thing.”

Cyst: “It may sound like a good thing. But when they caught Kira they never officially announced it. At first the crime rate stayed low rising slowly out of fear Kira would return. But then not too long ago, the year you were born actually, the crime rate sky rocketed back to its original point.”

Ryuk: (cackling) “You got that right.”

Cyst: “From what I was able to determine. Kira must have been caught at least four to six years prior to this event.”

Joan: “What makes you say that?”

Cyst: “According to my research the year before you were born Japan’s life expectancy dropped from number one to number three in just under a year. ‘L’ made an announcement that some how someone got a hold of Kira’s power and was killing off the elderly and that this person pretending to be Kira was not worth his time.”

Joan: “Do you have any idea on what happened to Kira?”

Cyst: “No… it was as if Kira was wiped off the face of the Earth. There are some theories flying about on the web that Kira is just resting or is taking a break and that he will be back. But I think Kira is dead.”

Joan: “What makes you think that?”

Cyst: “Because if ‘L’ did catch Kira, then there is no way he would have let such a mass murderer like that live.”

Ryuk: “Oh, he’s sharp.”

Joan: “Is that why you are going into law enforcement?”

Cyst: “It’s because of ‘L’ that there is such a large number of people who want to become detectives. Me? I just want to keep my family safe.” (reaches out and messes up Joan’s hair)

Joan: (tries to fix her hair) “So what about that girl? Is she the same way?”

Cyst: “No, she has different reasons.”

Joan: “Like what?”

Cyst: “I don’t know.”

Scene 8: The Evens home; Cyst pulls the car into the driveway and both Cyst and Joan leave the car and enter the house.

Cyst: “Hey we’re home.”

Mrs. Evens walks into the hallway from the kitchen at the other end of the hall. There are stairs on the right of the hallway that lead up to the second story of the house and a door along the wall made next to the stairs that leads to the basement. The basement door is closed. Adjacent to the basement door is an entry way to the living room. (Much like the Dursley’s home from Harry Potter but a little bigger) Ryuk follows through the wall.

Mrs. Evens: “How was your day?”

Cyst: “Good.”

Joan: “Same old same old.”

Mrs. Evens: “How were your classes Cyst?”

Cyst: “We are supposed to write a twenty page analysis on one of the current state cases and an argument on what the outcome will be in Mr. Owens’ class.”

Joan: “That’s your Business Law class right?”

Cyst: “Ya, that’s right. I’m supposed to meet up with a few of my classmates in a few hours and we’re all going to head down to the police station and see if we can get any interviews with the attorneys.”

Mrs. Evens: “Sounds like you got a work load. Well I won’t be keeping you.”

Joan: “Is that girl going to be there?”

Mrs. Evens: “What girl?”

Joan: “The one Cyst went out with last week.”

Mrs. Evens: “You mean Miharu Amane?”

Joan: “Oh so you tell mom but not me?”

Cyst: (rolls eyes) “Yes, Miharu is in my group. Along with Kevin and Mary”

Mrs. Evens: “Has Kevin proposed to Mary yet?”

Cyst: “No, Kevin isn’t sure of it yet. They’re getting serious but they aren’t at that step yet.”

Mrs. Evens: “He’ll come around. I remember your father took a whole year before he finally had the nerve to propose to me.”

Cyst begins to head up stairs. The pendent on Ryuk’s neck pulls him towards Cyst.

Cyst: “Well I better get started on my research.”

 

i have trouble with scene 9 but here's the rest afterward

 

Scene 10: Police station: Cyst, Kevin, Mary and Miharu are behind a double mirror watching a questioning. Ryuk is standing behind Cyst as they watch.

Convict: “I told you, I was in the parlor when it happened.”

Attorney: “Can anyone verify your presence in the parlor?”

Convict: “No, I was alone.”

Attorney: “But you claim to have heard gun fire from outside?”

Convict: “That’s right.”

Behind the mirror.

Miharu: “He’s lying.”

Kevin: “How do you know?”

Miharu: “Just look at him. His posture, the way he is so intently gazing at the attorney, it’s obvious. He knows the attorney’s goal is to provide a testimony that will get him off the hook. But what he doesn’t know is that his body language gives him away. All it takes is the right question to get him off balance and sweating like a pig.”

Ryuk: “That girl’s quite the observer.”

Cyst: “If you’re correct, then what question would that be?”

Miharu turns to the director of the interrogation.

Miharu: “Sir, may I question the convict?”

Director: “Why?”

Miharu: “I can guarantee that I can make this guy confess without him even knowing it.”

Director: “Only if the Attorney agrees.”

The attorney walks into the room.

Attorney: “Alright. I got what I needed.”

Director: “Um… just a moment. I have some kids who are doing a report on this man’s case. They would like to question him. With your consent of course.”

Attorney: (Grinning at the students) “Want to become lawyers eh? Of course they can. As long as I make sure they don’t ask any questions that will discredit his testimony.”

Miharu: “Oh, we’re just greenies. We would be happy to have a professional attorney watch us. It’ll look good in our report.”

Attorney: “Now how can I say no to such a beautiful flower such as you my dear?”

Miharu pretends to be touched as she and the attorney walks into the questioning room. The rest of the group returns to the other room to watch.

Convict: (smirks) “Who are you pussy cat?”

Miharu: (cold stare then looks over at the written testimony) “You claim that on Dec. 20, at 6:23 P.M. you heard a gun shot. That correct?”

Convict: “Ya. I just told that to my Attorney.”

Miharu: (pretends she didn’t hear him) “You then went to investigate the source of the gun fire and came across the scene of your ex-girlfriend laying on the floor in an awkward position in a pool of her own blood and the back door was ajar.”

Convict: (has an irritated look on his face) “Listen lady, everything in that report is exactly how I remember it!”

Miharu: “You then state that you immediately called the police. The police verified this call happened at 6:25 P.M. At 7:16 P.M. the police arrived and examined the body and found the murder weapon ten feet from the body underneath some brush. According to the report your fingerprints were found on the murder weapon. You claim you left the gun on the table half an hour before the shot was fired that pirced the victim’s heart. The bullet was found lodged in the china cabinet leg. Tell me why didn’t you empty your gun before placing it on the table?”

Convict: “I forgot. It happens to everyone now and then. I stated that in my testimony. I’ll admit my forgetfulness cost my girl’s life. We only broke up two weeks ago.”

Miharu: “You didn’t state that in your testimony.”

Convict: “There’s no reason to have it in there. My personal life has nothing to do with this. I didn’t do it.”

Miharu: “Sir, we are trying to find the truth. Every little detail may or may not help in proving your innocence. Now tell me… is there ANYTHING you want to add to your testimony?”

Convict: (Paused to think) “Ya there was something else. You see my girl had this thing for the supernatural. She was part of some cult organization or something. She found it online and had been driving out of town to join in their gatherings.”

Miharu: “Do you know what this cult was called?”

Convict: “Ya, they called themselves the followers of some guy called Kira.”

Miharu freezes. She stares at the convict.

Kevin: “The followers of Kira?”

Ryuk: (Cackling) “Oh, that got her attention.”

Convict: “Ya, I think it was some Japanese group that was founded twenty some odd years ago. I was a kid back then but I remember back in those days there wasn’t a person who didn’t know of Kira.” Convict shakes his head. “Do you think that that cult would have had something to do with this?”

Miharu: (Shakes herself awake) “Maybe, but until we get some more information we won’t be able to know for sure. Thank you… that statement maybe the key to clearing your name.”

Miharu exits the questioning room. The attorney gives a comforting pat on the shoulder.

Ryuk: “Well, well, I bet she didn’t see that coming.”

Cyst: “Miharu, are you okay?”

Miharu: “Ya… I’m fine.”

Director: “Well, I think you handled that pretty well. You got us some useful info we didn’t even consider.” Turns to the attorney, “I’ll start an investigation on the followers of Kira and see what we can dig up.”

Scene 11: Cyst’s car; Miharu is in the back seat with Mary on the other side. Kevin is sitting in shot gun. Ryuk is flying between Mary and Miharu as the car is driving.

Cyst: “Well for what it’s worth we chose a good case.”

Kevin: “For sure. I mean did you see how Miharu handled that convict?”

Miharu: (Shouting) “STOP IT!!!”

Ryuk: “Oh, wonder what’s got her all upset.”

Cyst: “Sorry Miharu. Why don’t we just let it drop for now, anyone hungry? We could all stop by at Mary’s place and try some of her new home cooking!”

Mary: “Ya, why don’t we. I have a great Mexican dish I’ve been wanting to try out.”

Kevin: “Then it’s agreed. Cyst take us to Mary’s!”

Scene 12: Mary’s apartment; the kitchen is left of the entrance. There is a hallway to the right of the entrance that leads to a closet at the far end and a bathroom on the right and a bedroom on the left. Across from the kitchen is a living room. Mary is frying some vegetables while Kevin is mixing some salsa. Cyst is sitting on the couch in the living room. Miharu is sitting on the floor going over some notes.

Mary: “So Miharu…” Miharu looks up, “You haven’t been yourself since you questioned that man.”

Miharu: “I’m fine.” (with a bitter tone)

Kevin: “I agree with Mary you have been acting strange.

Miharu: “I SAID I’M FINE!!!!” (Miharu stands up and heads to the bathroom)

Cyst: “Miharu?” (turns towards Kevin and Mary) “did you have to make it worse for her?”

Ryuk: “Seriously I need an apple!!!”

Cyst: (in a whisper) “Shut up Ryuk.”

Ryuk begins doing handstands

Ryuk: “It’s started! I NEED AN APPLE NOW!!!”

Cyst: “Hey Mary, I’m craving an apple do happen to have any?”

Mary: “Yes, in the fridge. I can make an apple salad.”

Cyst: “Sounds great.”

Cyst heads to the fridge. Ryuk follows with a grin as his body began to twist. Cyst pulls out the bowl and sets it on the counter grabbing a few slices and heads back to the couch.

Ryuk: “Oh come on Cyst give this poor Shinigami an apple. Please I’m begging you.”

Cyst opens up his hand and Ryuk grabs the apple slices. Ryuk crouches so that he cannot be seen eating the slices by Mary and Kevin.

Cyst: “So what do you guys know about the Followers of Kira?”

Kevin: “Well they’re not that much of a secret group. They believe that Kira is a God and that he will return and continue to punish criminals like he did nearly a quarter of a century ago.”

Cyst: “That doesn’t sound like much.”

Kevin: “Well, they don’t seem to do a whole lot but gather together burn incense and pray to Kira.”

Miharu enters the room.

Miharu: “Kira is not a god.”

Cyst: “Well of course not. ‘L’ defeated Kira.”

Ryuk: “Well that’s not exactly true.”

Cyst looks at Ryuk.

Miharu: “Cyst… are you alright?”

Cyst: “Ya, I’m fine.”

Mary: “Food’s ready.”
