==Intro ==
A crowd had gathered around as Mr. Ed, star of his own TV show Mister Ed, lay dead on the ground. The horse had suffered a sudden, unexplainable heart attack and died immediately after. Police had gathered around, pushing back the crowd as the area was cut off for investigation. One of the only two people to have claimed to been witnesses to the event, BoJack Horseman, had promptly passed out from an anxiety attack, leaving no evidence behind in relation to the star's death. The other, Mr. Peanutbutter, had already been taken into police custody. He'd left the scene minutes before the death, but BoJack Horseman had managed to confirm that the dog was indeed present before promptly passing out."Back! Back, all of you. I have arrived, so you may all move along. I shall get to work, without any doddling," spoke up a man as he quickly made his way through the crowd before crossing the police line. Many police officers attempted to restrain him, but the man was too quick, dodging them each before approaching and beginning to analyse the horse's body. Of course, the police only grew tense at this, approaching the man.  "Back off already! You know who I am, don't you?""Sherlock Holmes," another voice spoke, only this one was deeper and distorted. The man and the police officers looked up as another man in a large trenchcoat and a hat approached, wheeling forward a utility cart with an open laptop on it, only the letter L in the Old English MT font shown onscreen. "It's only natural to know of you."Sherlock Holmes was initially puzzled as he witnessed this, but his expression quickly changed to that of determination as he focused back on the task at hand; solving the mystery of Mr. Ed's death. "And just who might you be?""My name is L. I am here to investigate this death just as you are," the voice explained, but was only met with Sherlock Holmes gesturing his hand for the man with the laptop to leave."I have no need for any assistance. If I did, I would've brought along my assistant, Dr. Watson," retorted Sherlock Holmes, his gaze never leaving the body as he walked around it. "Which I did, he's just waiting a few feet away among the crowd of people. So, as you can so plainly see, I require no assistance, thus you may move along."L wasn't fazed by this, instead the sound of a chocolate bar crunching was heard in response, followed by L saying, "I suppose that's fair, then. I'll simply be running my own investigation alongside yours.""No need. I'll be discussing details with the witness and current suspect, a Mr. BoJack Horseman, momentarily," Sherlock Holmes quickly responded. "He is, of course, the most obvious suspect at the moment. There were two witnesses to the crime, but BoJack Horseman has more of a motive in his favor. He had been engaged in a heated argument with the victim right before the time of death. This already gives him a motive, not to mention the suspect has a history of anger issues. Prone to overeact to situations, whether out of aggression or out of fear, also gives reason in his favor. Of course, Mr. Peanutbutter isn't so easy to pass off as innocent, either. The man is quite close to the first suspect and has been known to seek affection and friendship from him, despite a rivalry between the two and little positive reception from him. It's possible that this was a result of one person attempting to befriend another by helping him win in this debate. Of course, whether it's one or the other, or both in some sort of accomplace murder, the obvious question boils down to how, as it's clear that this wasn't health-related and must've been some sort of murder."L, having grown tired of Sherlock Holmes' rambling, interjected fairly quickly at the end. "I certainly doubt that either would've done this. Neither have any capability of this sort of task.""At the very least, BoJack Horseman is under for some suspicion. He has a violent and criminal past, having been in fights, setting up an armed-robbery, as well as breaking into a museum.""But he's never murdered anyone," L noted. "Plus, there's still the obvious issue of how he did it. Meanwhile, with my line of work, this quite clearly seems to be the work of Kira. Of course, the body will need to be taken in for examining first to confirm this. As well, BoJack claimed to have heard a voice immediately after Mr. Ed's death, one that threatened him. It's interesting as to why he'd target this person, though, over BoJack Horseman, as he has no known criminal history behind him. Very interesting..."Sherlock Holmes' eyes rolled in response. "But of course you'd call me out on the how of my hypothesis only to come up with your own and get stumped as to why your best friend would do it. Wheel yourself back to Tokyo and keep working there.""Don't even start with me, coke-head. I actually know what I'm doing.""Is that how you managed to beat Kira?""Oh, that's it."

SHERLOCK HOLMES
BEGIN!
===L===
(0:24)
You're a defective detective; my methods prove to be effective
You're respected solely because of your partner's retrospective perspective
I could solve all your minor cases with just my little finger
Conquer Kira and call a crowd as I unmask the notorious Ripper
I'll send you to the Mad House, with a Whammy punch from Watari
Your connections couldn't harm me, protected by my alias army
So get Hard Running, I'll unravel your Silk House thread by thread
Until it's obvious to me that Irene has clearly Addled with your head
I'll Change the WorLd for the better, so come at me Shaggy
Your pal is Scooby, that explains why you're both so Scrappy
Right now there's 97 percent chance of me winning this rap
With a Bang; you burn calories with your brain, and you're getting fat
===Sherlock Holmes===
(1:01)
So the Great Game begins, it's no mystery how it will end
With you falling for his girl and being murdered by your friend
Didn't Rem mention the fact that there was a plan put in action
Ending in death for this orphan and his arch-enemy's satisfaction
But your successors squabbled, one got burned like he's your equal
If you return to England I'll be Victorian against this Cloister Medieval
Mello out, you play with lives like you're God and this ends now
Your opera's almost over, hear the bells, and take your Final Bow
Lawliet likened to a loser, a lackluster legacy leaving leads
Lost track of the case because they argued over which one would succeed
I'm this cypher's better rhymer, leaving you smoked to pipe you down
You'd be murdered like your food if you were to step in London town
===L, Near and Mello===
[Near is denoted in yellow and Mello is denoted in red.]
(1:38)
I've planned to perfection this ending, together we shall be the best
Pull the puppet strings, and incarcerate the bringer of L's death
I'm so Near to achieving the aims of my predecessor's justness
I'll live the way I choose, but not just for revenge, because we are justice
You're not even the final boss, we cocaine, we saw, we conquered
The apples of L's eyes, coming fully governmentally sponsored
The Final Problem I am facing, how we should make you Fall
So take Bach all you've said or we will serve you like a tennis ball
===Dr. Watson===
(2:02)
This is a curious case indeed, but I'll document the obvious outcome
That you'll be Sherlocked in defeat, when these Basker-villains get outdone
The sick flow I'm dispensing proves my medical knowledge being just
But like the notebook you'll be catching dust when I leave these chips crushed
Get Lestrade on the job to stop your little theatrical circle jerk
These three crime fighters dress like they're members of the network
These loungers from our empire are facing the downright impossible
Drop your chances by 40 percent, you beating us is more than improbable
===L, Near and Mello===
(2:27)
I'll treatcha to an ass kicking, it's evident you're getting desperate
I've seen Scotland Yard employ better methods than this skeptic
With a level of assumption, we deduce the ending of this study
You simply say clever things but we will put you both in custody
I'm sorry, Mr Deer Stalker, Sir, soon it will be time to say farewell
The person who partakes in your sins, goes to neither heaven nor hell
Ask Mycroft for an interpreter, we all hate you just the same
You couldn't solve our puzzle, this loser just lost the entire game
===Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson===
(2:51)
I hope this softens the blow, you're a pervert, all those tapes you're watchin'
What kind of schooling should we give them? That's Elementary, my dear Watson
You better Fear what we are packing, your shows a cesspool of drudgery
When your master busts out handcuffs, to show off all his buggery
Show us a Sign that your rhymes could ever match the mind that is mine
All that time you spent with your eye on the guy but you couldn't find
The evidence to supply and stop him from smiting with the trite he writes
But with his smile, a perfect victory, you were walking t'wards the Light!!!
WHO WON?
WHO'S NEXT?
YOU DECIDE!
