     The two stand, face to face, neither one of them willing to admit defeat.
    "I've waited for this encounter for so long now." Beyond grins, his red eyes glinting slightly in the moonlight.
     L says nothing, but instead turns to look at him, his face contorted in agony. "If you take another life, I will not hesitate to kill you."
     Beyond cackles, his expression bitter with overwhelming hatred. "All my life I have wanted to meet you, to be you." he hisses. "But not anymore. For now, you will be my next victim." He smiles sickly as he pulls something from his pocket. A dagger. "You die tonight." He lunges at him, laughing evilly as he presses the tip of the blade to L's chest.
    But the Detective does not scream. He does not run. He does not move at all. He only smiles as he gazes down at the knife about to pierce his flesh. "Kill me, if you must." he whispers. "but promise me that my death will protect those who cannot protect themselves."
    Beyond hesitates, trying to contemplate the words of the man he once admired. He screams, the knife sliding from his fingers. Suddenly, he drops to his knees, his hand burning as if being lit afire. "Is this the kind of suffering that my victims go through?" he wonders one final time. His head hits the pavement and he falls beside the knife once clenched in his own trembling hand. The blade had grown suddenly dull as it lay beside it's master, now crumpled and broken, driven to insanity by his own madness.
A story of the encounter between L and Beyond. Thanks for the inspiration, BB!
