Ch 1: The Crash
Tonight was the fifth heist and KID managed to steal his target successfully once again_ as usual. He had already finished the previous four in that week since rare large gems from different countries were displayed in Japan, each similar to Pandora's descriptions. Moreover, tonight's target was the last that came from Africa. A large white diamond worth 400 million dollars, weighing 3,106.75 carats. It was a perfect size, the largest diamond ever found. It could contain another gem in it easily! So KID didn't miss his chance, he sent his notice immediately to the museum and declared to steal it. Thankfully, the Suzuki old man wasn't involved this time. Such a relief.
The Task Force was everywhere like humming bees, a hundred officer station on that particular floor, all looking everywhere for the thief in white. He was too high to be noticed; they were busy checking the floors and disabling the tricks, that they couldn't make it to the roof.
Now Kuroba Kaito was standing on the edge without hesitating to carry out his next mission. He just smiled to himself (That crazy hype you feel when he smiles). He pocketed the gem in his suit's breast pocket, jumped before activating his hang glider and flew under the moonlight. Unfortunately, the Task Force roaming the street caught a glimpse of his glider and followed him in their patrol cars.
KID raised the diamond to the moonlight as he flew away, bright red light emerged and he saw the embedded gem within. He gazed for several minutes at the jewel and thought deeply about tonight's success. Who would have thought he would actually find it just after only three years of searching? 'Now, I just have to destroy it. The Black Organization is my next task. Soon, it'll all be over, oyaji. We're bringing them down'
It was the first time that he left the heist without saying his farewells to the pissed Nakamori Ginzo, and everyone thought it was weird. They knew KID enjoying showing his victory and disappearing in a spectacular stylish way fitting for his title as 'The Magician Under The Moonlight'. Nevertheless, Kuroba Kaito had too many things on his mind now that he cared the less about farewells and victory. He had to get it done, and tonight! Moreover, he had to keep his distance from the innocents for as long as possible.
...oOo...
He flew high in the sky, merely looking straight ahead of him, thinking and recruiting his plans while the patrol cars below were careful to keep their pursuit secretive.
The Task Force's leader was eager and thrilled; it was nothing new to his officers. 'With the lights off, KID can't notice us tracking him!' he mused with a smug on his face, tonight was his lucky day. "We'll catch him tonight, men!" said the confident inspector through his wireless radio. 'You won't escape me now, Kaitou KID!' he laughed like an evil murderer. It was his chance, now or never. KID was ignorant; they'll follow him and capture him in a blink of an eye, or so Nakamori thought.
Sure it bothered him why KID was being reckless, although he left over fifty traps on the 8th floor and twenty above and below it. Since when was that enough for KID? He didn't even stick around to watch them reach him on the roof, and best of all, he didn't notice them seeing him flying away. What was distracting him so much? It had to be important, Ginzo was sure of that.
'It doesn't matter now because I'll take that monocle off and expose your identity. It took me twenty years to reach this far, I won't give up now!' he continued to watch from his window next to the driver. After a moment of imagining himself catching the thief, his face suddenly changed. 'If I catch you tonight, I won't have any other challenging jobs to do...' the heists were always fun and harmless, he enjoyed chasing the thief around. 'No!... I can't let you escape me again. Not anymore, I am a good inspector. I won't be made a fool of again, not by you, Kaitou KID!' he had more important things to do than to chase the fool around Japan.
The purchase looked long to the police, "maybe KID is going far from Ekoda?" asked the officer beside Ginzo. KID was actually heading back to his hideout in order to figure out how destroying the gem should be, without interference. The distance he crossed was large, yet he was still above the forest. Tonight's wind was perfect, it was easily allowing him to fly steadily without problems. Although he found the jewel his father searched for, he was concerned about the lives of everyone involved. In spite of that, he grinned, 'Now it's time to start the big game! Now it's time to nail the syndicate and eradicate their plans'
Easier said than done.
'Where in the world is he going?' Ginzo cursed under his breath while he focused his binoculars on the white triangle. Then it struck him. KID wasn't far from him. "He is heading towards...!" It never crossed his mind to think that KID was never far from his residence! Ginzo bit his lip and hit the board, anger roasting from his face. The officers swallowed and busied themselves with the chase instead of the angry inspector. The cursed KID was right under his nose! No wonder he knew everything about him! 'That close!'
The Kaitou kept his eyes straight as he reviewed his plans once again. As far as he knew, the task force was still inside the museum, so he shouldn't worry about them now. By the time they reach him, everything will be long over. Yes, not much was left, it will soon be over. "I lost track of them. I wonder if they saw through my trick... at least Tantei-kun wasn't there to foil my plans. Can't say I don't appreciate it, I really need to focus and get this thing done with" he looked down and focused his eyes on the empty road; everything was dead silent and dark. There was nothing aside from his shiny friend above his back. 'Taku, it's too dark down there. Even if Snake was tracking me, I can't see him like this' whining wasn't his thing, but he had to be careful.
Finally, he surpassed the greatest part of the forest; the mountain road wasn't far now. However, when he eased up, he heard a loud noise approached his direction.
The object came closer, and thanks to the moonlight, KID could see it as clear as day. "A black helicopter!" he tightened his hand on the glider's handles, 'So they finally showed up!'
"Kaitou KID," the familiar creepy voice called out. Great, it just had to be Snake. "Give me the jewel" the voice shouted, then the light was focused on the thief who was almost blinded by its brightness. "You're mine now!" he laughed like the maniac he was.
'It's no good! They're too close, I can't fly away!' to make matters worse, the helicopter's fan was disturbing his glider's balance. 'What do I do now?' He bewailed seeing the cold killer now. He was corned in the sky.
He looked around for a possible landing spot, yet found none. They were getting closer. The forest was filled with trees, it would be reckless if he landed now. He needed an empty area, a roof or anything similar.
The patrol cars that drove among the trees noticed the black helicopter on KID's right. Neither stopped nor landed as they continued towards the mountain road. Ginzo frowned and looked through his binoculars for anything written on the exterior of the copter. "What the...!" it wasn't a police copter, 'Who are they? What do they want from KID?' So much for catching him tonight.
Snake said nothing for a moment. He was only standing there, watching the thief struggling to gain balance over his glider. "Hand it over and the girl won't die" Behind his straight poker face, Kaito was shocked. Snake grinned, "Or do you want me to kill her?" his laugh was loud and evil.
Kuroba never wanted Aoko to be dragged into this mess, not after he tried hard to keep her away from it. "Oh, is that so? And here I thought I was your target!" he said with his KID tone, his concern masked as he focused his serious playful eyes on the killer.
Snake laughed, "Fool, anyone connected to you is my target! But I will deal with her... after I finish you" He gave a wicked malicious grin and aimed his gun at the unshaken Kaitou. KID grinned.
When the police heard them, they contacted their station for backup. However, before anyone could reply to the requested aid, two young detectives aligned forces. Another helicopter came_ this time a police one_ and slid the right door wide open, flying on KID's left.
'Hakuba, meitantei!' Kaito regretted seeing them, so that's why the brat didn't come to the heist. 'The idiots will get themselves killed!' he was really cursing, mentally bitting his lip behind his mask.
The black helicopter advanced the Kaitou and turned to have its door in front of him. Now that the two troublemakers were in his aim, Snake pointed another gun at them with his right hand, while his left hand held the other gun at KID.
"Stay out of this!" Kuroba yelled and immediately flew closer to the patrol copter to help them. Another figure moved beside Snack and stood to his right. Conan cursed as he recognized the person with ease. The sniper aboard held her rifle and started to shoot in their direction.
'Kill them, kill them all!' Chianti mused as she grinned with pure satisfaction written on her face.
"You take care of them, I will get the Jewel" Snake ordered his new partner.
"That's not fun~" She added with a grin, "I want to get at least one shot at the fool" her playful tone made Snake tick a nerve. "All it takes is one shot and he falls to his death"
Snake glared her for a quick moment, "Fine. You get only one chance" his aim remained focused ahead of him, "So don't screw it"
Chianti raised a wider grin, focused her rifle on KID, and shot him straight in his right shoulder. The latter grinned his teeth in pain; however, sought to save Edogawa and Hakuba. He fired a couple of cards (steel sharp cards for such jobs) at the helicopter and shoot the fuel tank and the rotor mast.
'Not good!' Chianti bit her lip, yet kept her aim on the thief. The helicopter already lost its balance; so she took her last chance and focused her final shot. She was waiting for an order to shoot, but Snake wasn't even paying the thought a chance. "What are you waiting fo_
"Give it to me!" Snake yelled at the thief, his focused eyes away from the disadvantage they were in.
Chianti cursed, 'Idiot!'
Kaito ignored him and yelled at the teens, "Close the door! Get away from here, Hakuba!"
"Are you crazy! We can't leave you to fight them alone!" said the latter. "I won't abandon a friend in need! Baka, stop pushing people who care about you. We're in this together, Kuroba-kun!" he yelled. Kaito was taken aback by the rushing words; he always thought that Hakuba viewed him as the 'enemy' but knew he had concern for him. The words were old and deep, perhaps the detective wanted to say them, but never could.
"Demo, I can't let you die too!" and Saguru winced at that, Kuroba shouted, "GO!" he said, ushering in pain as he tried to conceal his worries from showing on his face. The cursed bullet went right through him.
"SILENCE!" Snake yelled, Chianti took that as an open pass. She shot again, this time hitting KID's glider. The metal piece broke snapped in half from the hit. Kuroba could no longer sustain the glider or the disconnected side with his hand, hoping to keep it from collapsing a little longer. "How dare you ignore me! Kuroba boy, hand over the gem!" he shot him in his shoulder, "This is your last chance, boy!"
KID Shouted, blood dripped from his mouth, "Shut up! I won't hand it to you after what you did to them!"
The answer was a laugh, "They were in my way" Snake said with a cold grin painted on his face, "I took the Kaitou KID down before, and I can do the same to you!" Saguru became more worried than he already was, "At least there won't be a third KID with your death! Oh wait, I already killed him." KID shot dagger eyes at him, "Well, It's not a problem now..." he prepared his finger on the trigger. Kaito tightened his fist on the metal piece of the glider, anger written all over his face.
Inspector Nakamori, Hakuba, and Kudo were taken aback. "Even if you took the original KID's place, I'll kill you like I killed him ten years ago" he shouted, high enough for everyone below to hear. Then a laugh followed before resting back into a cold grin.
"Nani!" the law party's eyes widen. They were worried to hear that, 'he...he killed the original KID?' Ginzo didn't know what to think anymore, 'Then this is another...'
Hakuba masked his concern, 'no doubt that he will kill us too.' Little did he know that there were more people on the list.
"Didn't I warn you to step down and leave us to do our work?" KID gave him a cold glare, "Fool, I shot your partners, killed them both, and you are the only one left!" he spoke with a grin. Boy, he sure was proud of himself! "The Boss will be happy with your death, just like when I killed the original KID." If Kaito ever decided to drop his 'no one gets hurt' rule, the one he'd hurt would be Snake, and mercilessly. "So, son of the Kaitou KID, any last words?" nothing came from the thief.
"Kuroba-kun is KID's son!" Hakuba said stunned, Conan only looked at him misunderstood. 'I didn't see that coming. So that's why you are KID! You want to catch your father's killers. I should have known...'
"Who is Kuroba?" Conan posed, yet Hakuba didn't answer, merely focusing on the struggling magician. It was obvious he didn't want to share that information, now wasn't the time for idle conversations.
"Never mind that now... Listen, Kudo-kun, we have to stop them before they kill KID." he really shouldn't tell Kudo what to do. The shrunken teen knew they had to act, so when the helicopter approached the enemies, Conan prepared his power-enhancing kick shoes, waiting for the right moment to unleash the deadly soccer ball from the belt that he had his hands on ready.
KID knew what they were up to, and verily, he bewailed their act. Chianti had her rifle focused on them, 'The idiots really want to get themselves killed!'. He struggled to control his hang glider as the excessive elevating pain made him unable to concentrate. His shoulder ached and he couldn't control the glider anymore. In spite of that, he shouted at the idiot detectives. "What are you doing! Stay back!" before the Kaitou could pursue his shouting, Snake shot one bullet in his left arm and two in both legs. The latter tightened on his teeth in pain as his white clothes become redder.
With another sign from Snake, Chianti pointed her rifle at his heart, aiming for the kill. 'No way he'll live' she gave a dry laugh, 'not with that glider broken' as Conan saw her slowly pressing the trigger, he bit his lip cursing, proceeding to shot the soccer ball at her before she could shoot. She saw the ball coming towards her and pulled the trigger quickly, the bullet penetrated the back of the glider and she let out a high satisfied laugh. "Got him!"
The soccer ball hit her face-first and she fell backward. "Tsk, idiot" Snake hissed, watching the redness on her face before turning back to the problem at hand.
KID lost complete control, ushering in more pain when the bullet went right through him. Thankfully, it missed his heart and just hit his left shoulder. His bad luck wasn't over yet. He began to feel faint and the glider crashed straight_ with high-speed _ into the forest.
To say Snake was glad was an understatement. He was overjoyed. "The last one is down, Boss" he spoke through the radio, watching the boys in the helicopter cursing while watching the path the glider went in. He took Chianti's rifle and shot their rotor, the chopper crashed. "And another problem is out of the way"
With that said, the boss continued."Perfect. Retreat now," and Snake nodded, "we'll take care of the rest" the male monotone voice replied coldly through the device then hung up. The pilot obeyed and they retreated before they crash too.
...oOo...
The police helicopter crashed safely thanks to Edogawa Conan's piloting skills and they got out before it exploded to smithereens. The pilot stayed beside it waiting for the police to reach them, merely amazed that the little eight-year-old was able to handle the copter in that drastic situation when he himself couldn't.
'Talk about surprises...!'
The two walked away, without even bothering to provide an excuse to how Edogawa was able to pilot the copter. Hakuba had his hand on his slightly injured leg, once they were far, he turned to his companion. "Thanks, Kudo-kun"
The faux child nodded, "let's find KID now" they followed the traces of Kaito's crashing site; as there were several broken branches and a long blood trail leading ahead.
It was dark and they couldn't see much, so Conan turned his watch on so they can pursue their lookout. It was a rough crash, Hakuba bewailed. "There's no way he could make it! Kuroba-kun you idiot, You could have just..." Hakuba bit his lip, "You could have asked for help!"
Conan said nothing for the moment, merely observing every inch of the forest. "I am sure KID had his reason, Hakuba-kun. He didn't want anyone to get hurt, you heard him well"
A beep came from the police radio in Saguru's pocket. Abruptly a voice spoke, "Hakuba-kun, can you hear me? Hakuba-Kun?" the voice yelled hard. "Are you okay? Answer me!"
"Nakamori Keibu! Yes, we're okay. Quick, we need an ambulance for KID"
"It's on the way. Be careful. We're coming!" and they both hang up.
Conan stepped on something and felt it shatter under his shoe, he leaned down and picked it up. "It's... KID's monocle!" he looked around before directing the light ahead. "He's probably that way!"
They ran for three minutes until they caught sight of the Kaitou on the ground. Hakuba saw something white, "There!" they rushed to him while calling his name, but he didn't make a single move. He remained still on the ground, covered in his blood. His hang glider was on his back with the cape torn and the metals bent terribly from several places.
The crash was horrifying indeed; as Kuroba crashed the long way down, several trees were knocked down as they couldn't stop his gliders' speed. Furthermore, he collided with the ground until the friction and speed stopped, that was at least twelve meters. Conan cursed, managing his way under KID's rib, he pressed the button to deactivate the glider, which made some noise before breaking into more pieces. Hakuba helped him to disconnect it by pressing the belt and threw the entire glider aside.
"It's bad!" Shinichi bid looking at the metal piece from the glider in KID's arm, thankfully no other pieces had pierced him. He slowly got it out and tore off a clean side of the silk cape and wrapped it around the bleeding forearm. "This should stop the bleeding for now... but we don't have time." his serious eyes were fixed in Hakuba's eyes, "We need to save him before he dies!"
Three patrol cars arrived and ten officers got out immediately. They ran to their allies for help; pointing ten guns at the white figure, then got stunned when their eyes fell on the red pool underneath the thief. Furthermore, that wasn't the only thing that stunned them, KID was still on his chest not carrying a single move. "Is he...?" Ginzo said running to them, presuming the worst. "Put your guns down, idiots!" KID was injured badly, and blood was around him, he would definitely die any second now. Although his face was exposed, they couldn't see it due to the darkness surrounding them. With the little light from Conan's watch and the cars, they could see the bright blood dripping from the thief's head, mouth and every place he was hurt from.
Inspector Nakamori got on both knees and placed his finger on Kaito's neck. "His pulse is weak... very weak" he tightened his grip.
"Where's the ambulance?" Conan yelled. There was no sound of anything coming their way.
"Oi, Kaito-kun, wake up! Wake up!" Nakamori shouted several times, yet the teen did not open his eyes. He remained lifeless, still bleeding as he was down on his chest. No one spoke for a while, even the officers were silent. The boy was dying right in front of them, and they couldn't do anything. "Curse it! The ambulance still needs time to get here!"
The shrunken detective watched the officer, carefully noting their reactions in his mind, then approached Ginzo. "Nakamori-Keibu, there's..." Conan said and whispered. The inspector sustained.
The paramedics couldn't make it in time and Ginzo began to swear more. "It's no good! Someone...do something!" he tried to stop the drifting blood; nevertheless, the pool kept getting wider and wider. "KAITO-KUN!"
...oOo...
Following two hours of the heist's notice time, in Ekoda city
Ran and Sonoko were walking with their new friend, Nakamori Aoko, whom they met before the heist began. Although they left long before it started, Sonoko whined about it, demanding to go back. Everyone knew that she was looking forward with shining eyes, hoping to see her KID-sama. Ran had no other choice but to drag her out of the museum, thankfully, the girl ceased grumbling when they became too far for her to go back. Of course, Ran kept her arm on the latter's to prevent her from running when they least expected it. Knowing Sonoko well after all those years, she didn't doubt it one bit. Sonoko was a crazy fan of the Kaitou, so yes; she would run back no matter the distance.
"That's weird," Aoko said checking her phone, "Hakuba-kun didn't return yet," successfully interrupting Ran's musings. "Did something happen with him? Aoko hopes it's not another case! He's been getting into a lot of them lately"
"He's probably still chasing my KID-sama~"
Ran's face was the same as Aoko, completely ignoring the brown-haired girl. "Detective freaks" she mumbled under her breath. Her look-like nodded with a humph.
"Come to think of it, Aoko-Chan, Conan-kun didn't return either." Ran bid worried, that wasn't anything new to Sonoko. Why did she even bother worrying so much about him? He could deal with everything by himself. The 'Freaking brat' _ Sonoko always called him_ caught criminals single-handedly. "According to tousan, they can't contact them, they've disappeared before they got into the museum." She opened her phone and gave it another shot, "I think it's off or the battery died" there was no way she could have known that it was destroyed in the crash.
"Oh come on Ran! They're chasing KID-sama! Nothing bad will happen to them" Sonoko said dryly, then someone bumped into her. She turned to shout at them and saw people gathered under a screen on a tall building. "Hey, look!" she pointed at the huge screen on her right. Ran didn't look and glared her, "Honest, I'm not trying to make a run for it! Oh come on Ran, the heist is long over. He's not there, I am sure. Jeez, just LOOK at the screen!" She pouted, Ran stared some more into her eyes then turned her gaze on the mentioned screen.
A young female reporter was giving the news live from Nichiuri TV, standing beside a colleague in a forest. "Earlier tonight, a black helicopter appeared after KID's heist and followed him to this forest here. Their helicopter and a police helicopter got blown in the crossfire, yet the criminals managed to escape... thankfully there were no casualties from the police, but they are still trying to find them"
The other reporter took over, "According to the police, the black copter was trying to get something from KID..." there was a pause as if he was hesitating to continue, "who was just killed earlier at 7:30..." the onlookers' eyes widen in utter shock, "We just confirmed with the police and they are taking the corpse to the morgu_"
Aoko stood stunned, barely believing her ears. She turned and looked for something in her purse then she picked her phone to sent a text. No reply came and she began to worry. After another try, she called them. "Come on...pick up..." she mumbled. Ran had her eyes on her, trying to assure her that everything was fine as she understood what the girl was thinking of.
'If a police copter was involved, then Nakamori-keibu was involved too.' And judging by the fear in Aoko's eyes, she was assuming the worse.
"
Sonoko cried out for several minutes, collapsing against a lamppost. "No way! He can't be dead... he can't be!" she brought her hand to her forehead, "I knew it, I should have stayed there..."
"Sonoko..." Ran said with a shaky voice, proceeding to lean in front of her, "It's not like you could have done anything..." she found herself torn, who to confront more?, 'Aoko-chan is the one who needs support! It's her father that she is worried about.' Sonoko can wait, stupid fan.
Aoko diverting her eyes from the screen, unable to see anymore. A second later, she turned back to it, "Eh? Look, it's Hakuba-kun and Conan-kun!" she said stunned. Her eyes caught her father running among the gathered people there. Her expression tensed for a second, then she turned to her friends. "Aoko thinks no one got hurt..."
"Oh thank goodness!" Ran said as she placed her hand on her chest.
"KID-sama got killed!" Sonoko shouted, 'He's dead!' she slumped down on the ground, literally. 'I can't believe this...'
Ran jumped in, trying to distract them. "What are they doing there? Oh, Conan-kun do you have to go to every crime scene!" that worked fine with the blonde.
"Of course, I doubt he ever skipped one..." Sonoko grimaced. "Besides, it was KID-sama's heist, the four-eyed brat always went to them" she crossed her arm, "that brat is a death magnet, Ran! Why did KID-sama have to be the one to die!" she sniveled and wavered between killing Conan and crying for her idol.
"Hakuba-kun is also on KID's tail, Aoko means...was..." Aoko said weakly, interrupting her before she did something stupid. Sonoko grabbed her and shook her firmly, her eyes screaming that KID couldn't be dead. The girl looked away, "Aoko hopes nothing bad happened to them too" Sonoko released her grip and nodded. They watched the crowd as more people gathered to watch the tragic news from a TV shop.
There were many officers moving about the crime scene. From the camera's angle, the viewers could see something covered, with a white blanket and blood on it, in addition to large red stains on the ground.
"So it's true!" Said a woman, "KID-sama was murdered!"
Aoko approached the store and focused her eyes on her father who shouted his orders to his men to do something.
Some of the fans began to weep, and no doubt that it was the same for those who watched the news at home.
...oOo...
Several TV channels were broadcasting the news live, everyone could see inspector Nakamori walking away from his team and standing silently beside the paramedics. His face was practically dead and stiff. "Take the corps to the morgue; we'll take care of everything from there" he wasn't shouting anymore, at least not like he usually did.
"Yes, sir!" One of his officers nodded. He helped the paramedics who placed the corpse on a stretcher and got it inside the ambulance. That done, they took off. Meanwhile, the reporters went closer to ask the police questions about the murder and motive.
"Err...Nakamori-keibu? Do you know why the helicopter targeted KID-sama?" she asked and approached the microphone for him to speak, the camera focused on them.
The inspector wavered to answer for a moment. 'Any given information would put people's lives on the line' Echoed the voice of Hakuba Saguru in his head. "We don't know yet, they are probably thieves too. Anyhow, we won't rest the case until we figure their cause, I assure you. This is all for now" and he walked away.
With no other option, the reporter turned to the camera, "As you heard, the police won't leave the murder unsolved! The KID's corpse was taken to Ekoda Central Hospital for investigation, where it is guarded heavily. Nichiuri channel, oyasumi!" the building's TV switched back to the Ads.
"It can't be..." The fans were down, as it was hard to believe something like that could happen. KID was their favorite magician; they knew well that all the heists were for entertainment. The unreachable phantom never meant any harm, even the Task Force knew that. So who were the murders? They had to be talented to reach him, lay low to kill him.
The conversations between the viewers were the same, "He never harmed anyone..." said one.
"Why would anyone kill him?" Said another.
"KID was a good guy!" a small child said.
"Thieves after thieves?" Two men spoke among themselves; the other didn't know what to say. Either way, the ruckus wasn't too big, but it was still a shock. The killers were loose; perhaps that was why the police didn't show the victim's face. All the fans wanted to know who he was, despite the fact they were devastated by his death. Now the magician was gone, just like that, and they didn't even know how he died or why.

N/A: The gem's info that was used at the beginning of the ch was from the "Star of Africa", I just needed a good size and some description to put some info together. Anyway, The Star of Africa was cut into small diamonds
