Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan.
Summary: Based from the 32 seconds DC Movie 13 preview I've watched in youtube. This is my own version of what will happen in that movie. And so… the ending of Detective Conan! -- Uh…my version XD this was done in haste so it's not as good as supposed to be. Sorry, I just had this sudden urge to write again. I took a break from studies.
*I'm trying a different writing style this time, for the better, or worse. :)
Oh, and, the real DC movie 13 is coming out IN JAPAN this April 18, 2009. I don't know when it will be available online, though. I hope it would be soon! :)
Sudden Turn
Chapter 1: Peaceful Morning
The Shounen Tantei and Agasa hakase were all together in Supreme Dinosaur World one Sunday morning. Agasa got free tickets from Suzuki Sonoko, the rich heir to the Suzuki empire, also the best friend of Mouri Ran, since she had lots of freebies, being one of the richest in Japan, but she couldn't go because she and Ran were having midterms and of course, if Ran wasn't there, her father, Kogoro, won't even bother to go to this childish fun trip.
The clouds were drifting peacefully, the birds were humming sweet tunes, the sun was shining brightly, the wind that blew against their skin was cool and it was a wonderful day. Suddenly, while Conan was walking along with the others, his cell phone beeped and there was a message. His pocket vibrated and he fished out his phone from his pants and flipped it open.
To: Edogawa Conan
From: Jodie-sensei
SOS
At James Black's apartment
ASAP
Code red
~Jodie-san
Upon reading, Conan's eyes widened, he gasped and gritted his teeth. His odd and tensed-like reaction caught the attention of Agasa and the kids, but, Haibara's attention was caught first. As soon as she sensed that Conan became suddenly uptight, she, too, got instantly alert.
"What's wrong, Conan-kun?" Ayumi asked worriedly.
"Conan-kun…?" Genta asked curiously, peering over his phone.
Conan's heartbeat began to race as he slowly released his breath, his head pounding.
"Don't look! Please, this is a private message!" Conan shivered, trying to cover the screen of his phone while sweat trickled down his cheeks.
Haibara flinched, wondering what could be in his phone that was so disturbing that he couldn't even let the kids see.
"Ne, Conan-kun… what's up? What happened?" Mitsuhiko asked worriedly, trying to pat his shoulder to lessen his obvious stress.
"Conan-kun, is there something wrong?" Agasa inserted, his usually happy brows furrowed in anxiousness.
"Nothing." Conan muttered in a soft voice. "I have to go." His feet were preparing to leave the scene, when, Haibara unexpectedly yanked his hand and with serious eyes, queried with a low and deep tone.
"Edogawa… what's going on?"
Conan forced a smile and told hakase and the kids with a tone of authority.
"Haibara needs to come with me, hakase… take care of them."
Conan gave a serious look at hakase, and at that, he understood, he was needed somewhere, and Shinichi-kun needed to go. Hakase wished for his safety, while the kids were still in confusion. They were all left behind the place, stunned, as Haibara and Conan ran farther away from them.
Conan grabbed hold of Haibara's hand and pulled her as he started to run with her behind.
"Kudo-kun?" Haibara asked while her feet were running with him involuntarily as she was being dragged by Conan.
Conan whispered in a hurried voice. "I'll explain later."
After seconds of swift running and deep breathings and gasps, Haibara and Conan finally ran inside a small dark alley which was beside a garbage dump.
With gasps and sweat, Haibara asked Conan with worried eyes. "What's going on, Kudo?!"
With eyes so serious that the pairs of eyes before the blonde didn't even look like his eyes, he took out his mobile phone and flipped it open, pointing at the screen.
"Take a look, Haibara. Read this." Conan said to her while inhaling deeply, his body leaning weakly against the brick walls of the alley.
Haibara, curious, took the phone from him and started to read. As her pupils moved from left to right, reading the contents, she instantly closed the phone and handed it to Conan, her eyes wide with fear as she faced him.
"What's the meaning of this?" She asked. Her legs were rubbing against each other, her hands held on tightly together, trying not to panic and stay calm. "Is it… the organization?"
"I don't know. I just got this message and that was that." Conan sighed as he explained this. "Anyway, we need to get going… to his apartment, I mean. This thing seems urgent, this message caught me off guard, and too bad I was actually starting to have fun back there with the children."
Haibara laughed slightly. "Oh? Well, to be honest, I actually was having fun since a while ago. I guess I've been a little less pessimistic and I have lightened up ever since I started to feel that I belong."
Conan tapped her shoulder and smiled. "Of course you belong, Haibara. You're family, right?"
Somehow, what he said made her feel warm inside. She just nodded. "Thanks, Kudo-kun."
Both of them ran to James' place.
-
Opening the door, the female FBI agent, Jodie, eyed them and quickly showed them their way inside James' apartment. "Glad you can come." She muttered. She wasn't as cheerful as usual.
"What's wrong, Jodie-sensei?" Conan asked. "You look pale. Is it the organization?"
"Have you found leads on their whereabouts?" Haibara inserted.
Inside the living room, so many FBI agents were gathered around the place, some standing, while most of them sitting on the sofas. The watch was guarding the front door.
Jodie was tight-lipped, she signaled Akai-san to speak in her behalf.
Akai first coughed, then, told them to each take a seat. Then, he spoke.
"We've found whereabouts. After my fake death, I was able to delve in deeper in the organization's plans and their various hideouts here in Tokyo. We've pinpointed them already. I feel… a battle will commence soon."
"That's good then." Conan grinned. "We will be able to finally take them down, that powerful and dark crime syndicate!"
James stood up; he looked older than when Conan and Haibara last saw him.
"You don't understand." James started to say. "A high ranking member was able to find out your true identity."
"What?!" Haibara and Conan screeched together, their eyes wide with fear.
"You mean they know about me turning into a little kid, too?!" Haibara asked with such panic.
Conan balled his hands into fists and asked. "How…?"
"We don't know." James explained, trying to calm himself down as his heart was rapidly thumping hard against his chest. "All we know is that they know you're Shinichi and she's Sherry, the organization's prey… and they're after your lives."
Haibara turned nervously to Conan and yelled. "The organization will kill everyone related to you!" She grabbed hold of his shoulders and shook them with might. "Kudo… did you hear me?! Mouri-san, hakase… the kids…! Do you understand?!"
Conan remained calm, his eyes burning with determination. "Let go, Haibara."
Haibara instantly removed her hands away from his shoulders and muttered. "Gomen."
Conan gave an unsteady and quivering sigh. "We don't have a choice, Haibara. We're given with this problem… we must face it. I'm determined to finish off the Black Organization for good! And all we can do now is to protect Ran and the others… you with me?"
Haibara smiled gently and nodded. "I'm with you, Kudo-kun."
"Then… it's on." Akai said with a grin. "I'll call the backup, the war has just begun."
After they have talked seriously about the matter, Jodie accompanied Conan and Ai out of the apartment going towards Jodie's sports car.
"I'll be driving you two home." Jodie said. "I'll be calling you up when the plan is ready, we'll let you know."
"You better not leave me out of this." Haibara stated coldly.
"What do you mean?" Conan and Jodie asked synchronically, innocently.
"Don't play dumb, you two. For sure you will leave me again and not tell me anything and go on the battle on your own without telling me… to keep me safe from them… I know it's for my own good, demo, I'm tired of hiding, I want to confront them… I want to be there for you…"
Haibara's eyes were downcast.
Conan protested. "But, Hai--"
"Shut up, Kudo." Haibara darted coldly. "I don't need your concern. I'm going with you, I'm bringing a gun with me, I'm going to defeat the organization that kept me under the dark for the rest of my life… I'll avenge for my dead sister… and you can't stop me."
"It's dangerous, Miyano-san." Jodie explained while smiling.
"No!" Haibara screamed. "I don't care! I can face death! I made the drug that made Kudo-kun shrink in the first place! I used to be their victim! They killed my sister! I need to go! I need to BE there! I need to…" Haibara's eyes lowered and her voice grew softer. She let out a breath and said nothing more.
"You need to what, Haibara?" Conan asked her, patting her on the shoulder with deep and concerned eyes.
"Nothing." Haibara said, shaking his hands of her shoulders. Inside she smiled.
I need to make sure you are safe…
"Fine." Jodie gave up agreeing. "You are a big part of this… and I guess you know the most about the organization… so we'll be needing your help."
"Yes, exactly." Haibara grinned, satisfied.
"What?! Jodie-sensei?!" Conan yelled, pulling her miniskirt from below, calling her attention.
"Don't pull my skirt!" Jodie ordered.
"Sorry, it was either that or I yank your leg… I rather pull your skirt, thank you very much. What can I do, I need to call your attention and I'm short, I'm stuck in a seven year old's body! My head is even shorter than your waist!" Conan said childishly.
Jodie frowned, blushing. "What?" She asked with a hint of annoyance.
"You can't let Haibara join us! She's a little girl! It's too dangerous!"
"Ahem." Haibara coughed from behind, calling his attention. "Little girl? Kudo-kun, I think I will be done with the antidote by the time we have our battle with those guys… so, I'll be Miyano Shiho when I face them… nothing to worry."
Jodie nodded as well.
"That's not what I mean! You're a GIRL! Regardless if you are eighteen, you're still a female! You… You… ughh!!! You don't get it, do you?! If I get captured, I can escape and fight back, but you're a girl Haibara! And you're just a teenager! It's just too dangerous for a girl! If they capture you… they can do unimaginable gruesome things to you! You can't go!"
Haibara's face fell. In a low tone, she spoke. "I never knew you were so judging, Kudo-kun."
"It's not that… I uh…I…" Conan protested.
"But why Jodie-sensei?! You're such a hypocrite! She's a girl, too, isn't she?!" Haibara screamed angrily.
"Yeah, but she's an experienced FBI agent! She's strong and she can take care of herself!"
"Yes, that's right, Miyano-san." Jodie said.
"Oh? So now you're saying I'm WEAK, is that it?!" Haibara yelled. "I'm WEAK?!"
"Well… uh…" Conan stammered.
"I'm capable of taking care of myself! You worry too much! I'm going and that's that!"
Haibara turned around angrily and walked away towards the car with balled up hands.
"You've angered her, Cool Kid." Jodie said while looking at Haibara going towards the car.
"It's just too dangerous, Jodie-sensei." Conan explained.
"I know. But still, they killed her sister, her parents, they ruined her life… and she feels strongly about taking them down. She wants to be part of this, Kudo. She'll never be able to forgive herself if she didn't do anything to help. She'll be happier if she went with us. And besides…" Jodie looked at Conan with a smile. "…you'll be there to protect her, right?"
Conan smirked. "Of course, I'm always here for her."
"I guess we have to get going." Jodie said to him, "she's nearing the car, let's go."
Conan and Jodie ran to catch up with Haibara who was a few feet away from Jodie's car.
Then, unexpectedly---
BOOM!
All that's left of Jodie's sports car were debris, shards of broken glass, ashes, smoke and blazing fire, right there. Jodie's sports car has exploded. And, it was really fortunate since no one was walking at that part of the street. Everyone got chaotic and of course all the FBI agents including James scurried out of the apartment and rushed to the scene when they heard the bombing sound.
Conan was slightly bruised by tiny flying pieces of glass while Jodie was coughing loudly due to the thick smoke enveloping them.
Then… in a quick and cold alarm, Conan panicked.
"Haibara!" Conan screamed upon realizing, that she was nearest to the explosion. Jodie was still in the floor, gagging and wheezing, getting asthmatic.
Haibara was frail as she laid beside the remains of the car, her head injured with glass, her fair legs now soaked in blood and her face filled with scars as she inhaled deeply, struggling for air with burning fire beside her.
Conan rushed to her aid and carried her weak body and got her out of the fire. Her eyes were still closed and unmoving as she was being carried. She was breathing as hard as she could. Not long after that, the fire fighters, police officers and ambulance rushed to the scene. The shops near that place were also partly damaged and moving cars along with their passengers and drivers were also in bad shape.
Megure-keibu wanted to take Conan and Jodie to the police witness interrogation however Conan explained to them that he had to take care of a certain little girl and couldn't go with them so only Jodie and the FBI went. At this moment, the FBI also told Megure and the other police officers about their real objective in Japan and about the "Black Syndicate" they are hunting. Of course, the Japanese police naturally wanted to help the FBI as well.
Conan morosely carried the limp Haibara towards the ambulance.
Haibara slowly opened her shaking eyes. "Kudo…?" She was still wheezing loudly.
"Shh…" Conan told her with a smile. "It's alright… everything will be okay…"
Suddenly, she pushed Conan away from her and she ended up falling hard on the cold ground.
The nurses and the help outside the ambulance were shocked with this little girl's actions.
"What are you doing?! Get in the ambulance!" Conan said with concern, trying to pull her up.
"I…" She breathed. "I don't want to go to the hospital…" She said simply. "I'm fine…"
Haibara tried to stand, her legs were wobbly but she was able to stand just fine.
"See? I can stand…" She coughed again. "No… big…"
Conan's eyes softened. "But…"
"They did this…" Haibara said. "If they found out that we are still alive and no one died in that car…" She breathed again. "The first place they will look into is the nearest hospital here… the hospital which sent its ambulances to come here and rescue people… Beika City Hospital…" She coughed again even louder now. "… they will search for me there…" Haibara explained. "Dakara…" She smiled, taking Conan's hand with her bloody hands. "Let's run away from here…"
Conan wanted to tell her to get inside the ambulance and let her be treated by the doctors in the emergency room, but she had a very good point. Even if they went to another hospital, they will still be tracked by the syndicate for sure. If they can't find her in Beika, they will start searching for her in all hospitals in Tokyo. So, it was useless to debate with her. She was right. They had to run…
For now…
"Let's get away from here…" Haibara offered again while pulling his hand gently.
Conan smiled and nodded.
Turning around, Conan said to the medics back in the ambulance.
"Thanks, but, we can handle it from here."
The people were shocked to see these two kids injured but not wanting medical help, they got over it after a while, when the two had already gone out of sight.
Conan and Ai walked side by side, his arm supporting her as she walked limp-like. Then, she fell, her strength decreasing.
Haibara's heart was thumping and thumping over and over again when Conan put his hands on her waist and started to lift her up, as a result carrying her.
"What are you doing?!" Haibara asked weakly, trying to get off his arms.
"Don't resist." Conan whispered to her. "You can barely walk you know."
Haibara just rested her head against his shoulder as he slowly lifted her legs.
"Ack.." Haibara moaned slightly.
"Oh, sorry! Does it hurt?" Conan asked worriedly, trying to be gentler in carrying her bleeding and wounded legs.
"It is fine…" Haibara said softly. "Thank you… where are we going…?"
Conan frowned, looking at the fragile Haibara in his arms.
If they went back to hakase and the kids in Supreme Dinosaur World, then, their lives would be in danger, if they went to Mouri's, then, Ran and Kogoro could be the next target of the syndicate, if they tried to call for help, innocent people would be harmed, they wanted to fight the crime gang, but, they didn't know where to start. The organization made their first move, and they were not successful. It was like a game of chess. Now, it was their turn to fight back… but, where? How? And when will they attack? They don't even know. They were lost.
Haibara looked at him while trying to steady her focus, trying to open her eyes wide.
Conan sighed now, staring at the horizon.
"I really don't know."
