As L and Light come to a mutually beneficial arrangement, one of L's old enemies uses all the hype over Kira to escape from prison, intent on destroying L and all he holds dear and because he keeps [[MasterOfDisguise changing his appearance]] he is protected from the powers of the Death Note. Even with the combined forces of the police, Wammy's House, Kira, and [[spoiler: TheMafia]] at his disposal will L be able to put a stop to [[spoiler: Beyond]]'s reign of terror?
