Detective School Q
Note #1 : To the readers: First off, the story of this fic belonged to Gakkou no Kaidan,
so normally, it should stay there. But why is it here? Well, crossover. As to why I'm
putting the continuity of this fic on DSQ, well, it's like this: When I was "Re-organizing"
my closet, I found some of my old comics, Marvel Comics and DC comic books stored in
one portion of my closet. There I decided to do scrolling, reminiscing some of my
favorite story arcs that were unique during the late 80's to the early and mid-90's. There I
found some of my then-favorite series with crossover story arc. These story arcs are:
One, is Spider-Man and X-Force. I came across a story arc where two of its famed artists
were departing Marvel Comics: Todd McFarlane and Rob Liefield. Before leaving
Marvel for Image Comics, they decided to draw for their series for one last time. Their
artwork complemented the issues' storyline. The storyline involved X-Force fighting
against the Juggernaut and Black Tom Cassidy in X-Force # 4. And then Spider-Man was
caught in the fray. There, the continuity of this story went to Web of Spider-Man (I forgot
what issue # is, so sorry.), which was McFarlane's last work to draw for Spider-Man. In
his farewell bid he made his rendition to the issue a special "side-way" issue. His
rendition of X-force was very memorable. That isuue's ending went back to X-Force.
After that, he went on to create Spawn. The third part of the Spider-Man/X-Force
concluded in X-Force # 5, in which Black Tom and Juggernaut escaped, X-Force
retreated, and Spider-Man was to fend for himself against SHIELD. A few issues later,
Liefield jumped ship to Image, drawing for Young Blood.
Two, is the X-Men/X-Factor/New Mutants/Power Pack/Thor crossover. This was,
perhaps the first, and biggest crossover to date involving the tragedy among Marvel's
merry mutants. Their first crossover started on Mutant Massacre story arc. Their second
Crossover was Fall of the Mutants (minus Power Pack and Thor).
Third was Inferno, and the X-Tinction Agenda.
Fourth, and lastly, the X-Cutioner's song
And lastly, on the DC front, with Superman-themed "Doomsday", and then the Batman-
themed Knight trilogy (Knightfall, Knightquest, Knight's End) and Contagion. There I
was inspired to make a crossover fic. At this time, I just completed my first Gakkou no
Kaidan fic (under the name Ghost Stories, which was the U.S. name for the ANIMAX-
titled Ghosts At School.) under the title "The Ghost Hunt Continues". That fic is M-rated
due to mature situations and slightly deep violence. There I made some references and
guest character appearances of various Anime and Marvel characters. After completing
that fic, I decided to do a follow-up story of my first fic, and this time I'm incorporating
more anime and, this time, DC characters in to the fray. Think of this as an experiment.
And who knows, it could be a good idea and a good try in making a fanfic. In fact, this,
and another DSQ fanfic I read, which involves Class Q teaming up with characters from
Detective Conan, gave me the idea of coming up in creating a story which involves
Gakkou no Kaidan and other characters from other anime series. So sit back and enjoy
reading this first-ever crossover fic, as well as my first-ever DSQ fic.
Note # 2: Under the "Anime/Manga" category, see Ghost Stories (aka Gakkou no Kaidan
or Ghosts At School) under the title "The Haunted Circus" to know the start of the story.
This DSQ fic is just the continuation of the Ghosts At School fic. The continuity of the
DSQ crossover chapter(s) is/are subject to change.

Chapter 1: To The Theme ParkNormally, students of Dan Detective School should be enjoying their Christmas vacation.
Some are packing their things to go on a trip to their loved ones. Some are shopping for
presents. And some are sitting in their homes and decorating their Christmas trees, while
others are on standby. But for Class Q, any emergencies that came up is too hard not to
pass them by. By morning, the following day after the incident that struck the famed
Tokyo Amusement Park, Kyuu Renjou, Megumi Minami, and Kintarou Tooyama
reported to D. D. S. to submit their reports on what transpired at the park. Kazuma
Narusawa and Ryu Amakusa were also there, having been debriefed by Kyu, Megumi
and Kinta about what they witnessed at the park. Kazuma and Ryu stared disbelievingly
when told that the circus animals went wild after escaping from their cages, attacking
people and then the rides operators' odd behaviors. Ryu's first impression was that it
could be the work of Pluto, when Megumi told Ryu and Kazuma that the rides' operators
overridden the rides' speed limit, making the rides go faster than their normal speed limit,
making the rides too dangerous to ride on. After that, they broke the lever and then
stabbed themselves, killing them. Because of the operators' odd behavior, Ryu believed
that they were hypnotized into doing it. But Kyuu told Ryu it was not the case. He told
Ryu and Kazuma about meeting a group of teenagers who they claimed that ghosts were
behind the park fiasco, telling them that they met a girl and a cat who could "sense"
ghosts. Ryu and Kazuma stared at Kyuu disbelievingly. But Megumi and Kinta supported
Kyuu's claim, adding that they even saw a talking cat, who called himself Amanojako.
Kyuu, Megumi and Kinta told Ryu and Kazuma that after the park was placed under
control, they interrogated the teenagers, who called themselves the "Ghosts At School"
gang, and during their interrogation, they found out from the gang that the circus, where
last night's incident first originated, was believed to be infested by ghosts. In fact, the
gang told them that aside from the circus, there were ghosts that were roaming around the
park. While the ghosts, according to the Ghosts At School gang, possessed the circus
animals and attack many civilians, the ghosts that were roaming around the park then
possessed the rides operator, and, the rest is history. Megumi added that before they left,
they saw a man, dressed like a gypsy, claimed that the whole park was cursed, saying it
was the work of the "Ju-On". This caused panic among the park's survivors. During the
melee, the man disappeared. And then a few more circus animals showed up, ready for
more attack, only to be shot down by the SWAT team (Japanese version, of course). It
took several minutes before Ryu and Kazuma had to, reluctantly, accept what their
classmates were saying. Kazuma then asked Kyuu on how to tell the D. D. S. Principal,
Morihiko Dan, about their findings. Class Q then looked at each other, as if they were
mentally asking their classmates for any suggestions. Kazuma again asks Kyuu, Megumi
and Kinta if they were sure about their claim of ghosts were behind the park's incident,
since he couldn't believe that ghosts really existed. Megumi, already upset over the
incident, and a bit annoyed over repeating herself again, slightly raised her voice, telling
him that it was no lie. Megumi then suggested that she'll contact the Ghosts At School
gang and arrange a meeting so that he and Ryu will see for themselves that the gang are
really involved in hunting down ghosts. Class Q was not aware that Principal Dan, Ms.
Shuno Katagiri, Tatsumi Hongou, and Kotaro Nanami (disguised as a wall), were behind
them, hearing every detail that Class Q were talking about. Kazuma shrieked at seeing
Principal Dan behind Kyuu. The rest of Class Q, except for Ryu, also shrieked in
surprise. They then saluted. Dan then told Class Q that it's ok, and told them to lighten up
a bit, seeing the tension surrounding his students. "My apologies, Class Q, I didn't mean
to eavesdrop, but I heard everything about what you said. Normally, I don't considered
that ghosts were behind the tragedy at the Tokyo Amusement Park, but, (looking at
Megumi), with your claim that you met a group of teenagers who hunt down ghosts, this
is something that I cannot discern between reality and non-reality. I honestly admit that I
don't really believe in ghosts, but there are some things in a case that could use
"paranormal activities" as a tactic that could cover-up a real motive. Remember the case
where the saiyon was murdered by an angry spirit, when in reality was killed by her own
two sons (in the TV series, it's about the case were it involves a mother's last will.)? And
you, Class Q were able to crack this case. I'm sure you will be able to crack this case
regarding the incident at the park. The Police Commissioner, Ohkubo Yamagata (not the
Samurai-X character) asked D. D. S. for assistance because they were facing a blank
wall, when they asks witnesses to shed light on the matter, only to received claims that
ghosts were responsible since they claimed that the cages were the animals were kept
suddenly opened, trapeze and high wires snapped for no reasons. This is a very
complicated case. Are you up for the challenge?" Class Q straightened and said "Yes
Sir!". After that, Class Q departed, heading to the park to conduct their investigation.
Hongou turned to Dan and said, "This is a very challenging case for Class Q. But I'm also
concerned. Minami, Renjou and Tooyama claimed that they believed that "ghosts" play a
part in the tragedy at the theme park last night. And a "talking cat"? I find it a bit
absurd."."That's why I said that I cannot discern between reality and fantasy. But judging
from what the three Class Q students have just said, it's something we cannot ignore.
Nanami, follow Class Q and make sure that they are all right.". Nanami emerged from the
wall, held his hat, smiled and left. Hongou just snorted as Nanami left.
As Class Q were just about to leave the gate of D. D. S., preparing to depart, Megumi
took her cell phone and dialed the number of Satsuki Miyanoshita. The two girls talked,
while her male classmates listened to the conversation. After five minutes, Megumi hang
up the line, then turned to her classmates and said, "We'll be meeting them at the entrance
of the park.". Kazuma adjusted his glasses and said, ""The Ghosts At School" gang, huh?
I'll eat my hat if this Amanojako really talks.". "Believe me, Kazuma, Amanojako is a
real cat who could speak. In fact, it even drooled when I first saw him talk.", was Kyuu's
rebuttal. Ryu had a calm, but apprehensive look. Sure, ghosts really don't exist, but if
what they say is true, then he'll be in a big surprise. They then left the D. D. S. grounds
and headed to the park, were the Ghosts At School gang is waiting. Not far behind them,
Kotaro Nanami, was stealthily trailing them, making sure he was not noticed by the Class
Q students. "A talking cat, huh? Well, this should be interesting, especially if I'm going to
meet these so-called "Ghosts At School" gang.", thought Nanami, who was hiding behind
the bushes.
At the Koigaburo house, Momoko, Leo, Aya, Fuko and Natsumi were still waiting for
Hajime, Satsuki and Keiichirou to arrive. The five teens were informed by Satsuki via a
text message that they'll be meeting with Class Q of D.D.S. at the entrance of the Tokyo
Theme Park to conduct a joint investigation on both the circus and the rest of the park,
especially the rides, were most the rides were dismembered. Momoko said it was a good
idea, since with Class Q alongside with them, they can enter the park without any
problem, and they can conduct their investigation. Momoko's three friends were a bit
skeptical. They wondered if Class Q would believe in ghosts, since they never
encountered one. Momoko reminded them that three of the Class Q members were with
them when the incident happened, and she was sure that the other two would believe their
claim. It was then that Hajime, Satsuki and Keiichirou arrived. Satsuki also brought
Amanojako with them. After checking their provisions, they headed out to the theme
park.
By after lunch, the Ghosts at School gang have already arrived at the park, but a bit far
from the entrance. Satsuki then let Amanojako out of her bag so he could breath, after
getting squeezed by her "belongings". Amanojako then went inside the park's premises,
reasoning that he'll just go "checking" out if there are still ghosts inside. After five
minutes, Class Q arrived, and saw the eight teenagers waiting. Kyuu, smiled and shook
hands with Momoko, but cringed at seeing Megumi's glare. It turns out that Kyuu and
Megumi were already a couple! Knowing Kyuu, Megumi sometimes get quick to anger
and jealousy when Kyuu was with other girls. The rest of Class Q giggled, but regained
their composure. Kyuu then introduced Kazuma and Ryu to the gang. After that, they
discussed about what will take place in their upcoming investigation. The Ghosts At
School gang, specifically Hajime, Momoko, Aya, Fuko, and Natsumi, described to Class
Q, in detail, about how the tragedy in the circus took place, and where and how it started.
The gang told Class Q about the first "isolated" case regarding the circus four and a half
months ago, before last night's tragedy. After the first incident, the gang decided to form
an investigation after hearing the news that cages were possibly picked which caused the
cages to sprung open, and that something have caused the circus animals to be provoked,
thus their attack. The gang then told Class Q that they decided to bring Amanojako with
them just to see if the first incident was just an accident or was the work of ghosts. Then
last night, their suspicions were indeed confirmed as Amanojako and Momoko sensed
ghosts within the vicinity of the park. And the gang ended their story with meeting Kyuu,
Megumi and Kinta, and then fleeing the circus. Kazuma then asks where Amanojako is,
saying that he still didn't believe in talking cats. It was then that Amanojako showed up,
who just finished looking around the park. "The coast is clear. No ghosts in sight as of
now, except for the guard over there at the entrance." He said. Kazuma and Ryu stared at
the black cat, eyes wide open at what they just witnessed. "G-goodness! That c-cat just
spoke!" Kazuma stammered as he backed away. Ryu looked equally amazed, never in his
whole life have he witnessed something like this. Satsuki then went by Amanojako's side.
"Class Q, this is Amanojako, our resident ghost ally.". Kazuma and Ryu looked at their
three classmates, seeing that the three were not surprised, and realizing that they weren't
lying when they said that the cat can really talk. "So you say that ghosts do really exists?
If so, why attack the circus and the rest of the park?" Ryu asks calmly. "'Coz that's why
were here, blue boy, to conduct an investigation. One part of me says that maybe because
the site where the park is standing was perhaps a resting place for the souls, as what the
gypsy man claims, but the other part of me says that the ghosts who wrecked havoc twice
could be bad ones. Then again, we'll never know unless we start investigating." Says
Amanojako, who seemed impressed by Ryu's calm and deep nature. Hajime then told
everyone that it's time to start the investigation. Satsuki then hid Amanojako inside her
bag, and the two groups then went towards the park's entrance, but were stopped by the
guard. "Sorry, off-limits. This is a restricted area. Go home." The guard told them
arrogantly. Megumi was about to show her badge when the guard grabbed her by the arm
and arrogantly told her to back off, saying that this place is not for kids. As Meg was
trying to break free, Kyuu grabbed the guard's leg and threw him off balance, falling on
the ground, taking Megumi with him. As the guard scrambled to regain his composure,
Kyuu went to Megumi's side. "You okay?" he asks. "Yeah, I'm fine." She replied. As the
guard stood up, Kyuu confronted him. Kyuu showed the guard his D. D. S. badge, but the
guard slapped Kyuu's arm with his right arm, causing the badge to fly straight to
Megumi's right face, hitting her, then fell to the ground due to the impact. Kyuu was
about to rush to her side, but was caught by the guard, grabbing him by the front collar
and slapped Kyuu on his left cheek, causing it to swell, at the same time causing the left
side of his lips to bleed due to the impact of the slap. The guard then threw Kyuu towards
the ground. For the first time, Kyuu was angered by the guard's behavior, and for
manhandling his girlfriend. He got up, grabbed the guard by the belt, and delivered a low
blow. But the guard was wearing a groin guard, so Kyuu's strike was in vain. Smirking,
the guard kicked Kyuu in the face. The kick was so hard that he fell to the ground again,
this time with a nose bleed. Kinta was about to assault the guard when Ryu pacified him.
Then the guard told him that they'll be arrested for trespassing if they don't leave. Ryu
then showed his badge and told the guard that they are D. D. S. students. But the guard
just scoffed, saying that "your all frauds", that D. D. S. is no place for "brats" like you.
Infuriated, Kinta punched the guard on his gut, knocking him out. The two groups then
tended to Kyuu and Megumi, who were still reeling from the effects of the guard's action.
Meg then went to Kyuu's side, seeing his nose bleeding from the guard's kick. The Ghosts
at School gang and Class Q administered first aid treatment for Kyuu, and soon he was
ok. Megumi thanked Kyuu for defending her and gave him a quick kiss on his lips.
Laughter echoed around them as the two groups were cheering on at the couple. They
then entered the park, as Kyuu picked up his badge, and the group leaving the
unconscious guard behind.
Meanwhile, Kotaro Nanami, who witnessed everything by hiding behind a stand, called
Morihiko Dan thru his cell phone. He told him about what the park's guard did to Kyuu
and Meg, about Class Q teaming up with the Ghost At School gang to form a joint
investigation, as well as seeing Amanojako talking for the first time. He then told him
that he'll call later for further developments. As he turned towards the entrance, he was
surprised that the guard was gone. Looking at the entrance way, the guard wasn't there as
well. He feared that maybe the guard was going to assault the teens, or that the guard was
a fake, and was keeping the teens away from the park for some reasons. Not wasting any
time, Nanami went inside the park, looking for the teenagers who are already inside the
park.
At Dan Detective School, inside the Principal's office, Ms. Katagiri and Principal Dan
were still in a state of disbelief at what Nanami had just told them, about Class Q teaming
up with another group of teenagers, that ghosts were involved in the theme park's
tragedy, and a talking cat. "Maybe ghosts do exists…" Dan trailed off. "But still, we don't
know for sure. We'll just have to wait for Class Q to return. But then we'll have to look
into the guard's behavior." Ms. Katagiri said, recalling Nanami what said about Kyuu and
Meg being assaulted. "Yes, I'll send the police to pick up the guard for questioning. He
has no right laying his hands on the students and besmirching the name of our school."
Dan said.
Back at the park, the 13 teens were at the center lobby of the park, discussing what to do
next, as well as to where to start the investigation. Hajime suggested that they split into
two groups, one for the circus and the other around the park. Hajime suggested that he,
Momoko, Kyu, Megumi, Kinta, Aya, Fuko and Natsumi will investigate the rest of the
park. He then suggested that Leo, Satsuki, Keiicihrou, Ryu and Kazuma will investigate
the circus. Hajime then told Satsuki that Amanojako will help them in their investigation
since he was the one who first sensed the ghosts inside the circus. The teenagers agreed
and are about to split up when the park's guard, along with nine other guards appeared,
wielding batons in each hand. "I told you that the park is off-limits. Since you violated
the rule that no trespassers are allowed, we have perfect right to enforce the rules. And
this time, we have concrete alibis to back up our actions. Oh yeah, D. D. S. or whatever,
you still have no right pokin' your nose on adult people's business." Satsuki, Keiichirou,
Momoko, Megumi, Aya, Fuko, Natsumi, Leo and Kazuma backed away while Ryu,
Kyuu, Hajime and Kinta stood in the front line, preparing to fight. But the 10 guards,
dropped their batons, and brought out lead pipes instead. The boys on the front line
gritted their teeth, realizing the fight their getting into. Then all of the sudden, four boys
appeared, taking out the 10 guards, knocking them unconscious. They then tied them up
at a nearby flagpole. The 13 teens were a bit surprised at seeing how good the four boys
are, taking out their attackers. "Thanks for the help, but how did you know we were in
trouble?" asks Kyuu. "We were here to investigate the park. Then we saw the commotion,
and heard that you're D. D. S. students." Says the black-colored, short-haired boy. "Then,
we suspect that there was some conspiracy involving the park. It seems that someone
doesn't want any ordinary detectives hanging around here. And I'm sorry to say, this is
very special investigation that only we, special detectives, can conduct." Says the tall,
red-haired boy. "Ah, shut your crap, ugly boy. We're also investigating this strange case.
So don't you just rub it into our faces and telling us to go home!" Says Amanojako, who
jumped out of Satsuki's bag. "Well, well, if it isn't the Spirit Detectives, Yusuke
Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara. You have the power to draw your weapons, the Rei-
Gun (Spirit Gun) and Rei-Ken (Spirit Sword)." The cat sneered. The Ghosts at School
gang were surprised by this revelation. Aside from them, the gang didn't know that there
was another group that can see ghosts, and with the D. D. S. students alongside with
them, they realized that their investigation would become a three-way dance. Then, two
more teenaged boys appeared, having secured the 10 guards who tried to attack the
D.D.S. and the Ghosts at School gang. One is a boy shorter than Yusuke, The other is a
long, red-haired, and taller than Yusuke, but smaller than Kuwabara. They were Hiei, and
Suichi "Kurama" Minamino. Hiei's forehead glowed, revealing his Jagan (Third Eye).
"So you must be Amanojako. Koenma and Genkai-Sama told us that you were sent back
here to watch those kids (glancing at the Ghost At School gang). And now you're leading
an investigation unit." Hiei looked coldly at the cat. "No Hiei, It was that boy (pointing to
Hajime) who is leading the investigation. Amanojako, according to Genkai-Sama was
invited by the boy to help them in investigating the park." Kurama rebutted. "Wait, are
you saying that you suspected that ghosts were behind this?" Hajime asked. "We believed
so, but then, we must first gather clues before jumping to conclusions. Is it all right if we
join you in your investigation?" Yusuke replied and asked. Hajime agreed. Yusuke and
Kuwabara decided to join Leo's group, while Kurama and Hiei were assigned to Hajime's
group. They then split up, heading towards their assigned destination. As soon as the two
groups left, a voice spoke out in thin air, assured that the Spirit Detectives and
Amanojako won't detect him. "It looks like we'll be having our hands full. I better tell my
contractor about this, as well as get reinforcements".
The voice disappeared. Kotaro Nanami, who was hiding behind the bushes, didn't hear
the voice, but saw what transpired, and heard everything that the teenagers had said. "Oh,
boy, Mr. Dan is going to have a field day when I told of what I just saw and hear
everything.". He then wonder which group he'll track down, since the teenaged
investigators have split into two groups, one inside the circus and the other within the
park. "Maybe I should've suggested the I bring Houngou with me…" Nanami muttered.
To Be Continued…
…in Ghost Stories!
So what do you think of my first DSQ fic, as well as my first attempt in doing a
crossover? Please fell free to send in your thoughts. I would greatly appreciate it, so that
I'll know if I'm missing any details or anything of the sort. Criticisms are fine, as long as
it's not degrading, and not a flame. Yeah, I know it's a supernatural case, but hey, I'm
putting some detective elements, as well as conducting an experiment to see if you liked
it. Again, enjoy! Also, if you read my first Ghost At School fic, please send your reviews
as well.
The Tokyo Theme Park's investigation is now under way! First the Ghosts At School
gang, then Class Q of D.D.S., and now the Spirit Detectives from Yu Yu Hakusho! But
wait, what about the Justice League? The Batman and the Question were supposed to
investigate the park, along with their "contact", right? So why aren't they here in this fic?
There's only one answer…
Stayed tuned on Ghost Stories; Chapter 4: Incredible Alliance! Fatal Four-Way
Investigation!
As for whether there will be a chapter 2 in this fic, be patient. As soon as I finished
Chapter 4 of Ghosts Stories, depending on the story I wrote, maybe I'll will, but then
again, it's subject to change. Maybe after Chapter 4 and/or 5 of Ghosts Stories, I might
continue the storyline on chapter 2 of this fic.
