~ Start Flashback ~
Conan finally found out the location of the Black Organization's hidden main HQ with help from Agasa-hakase and Takagi-keiji, though Takagi-keiji did not even know that he actually was one of the main reason that Conan found the location. Conan and Agasa-hakase immediately made plans for Ai and himself to be pulled out of Teitan Elementary School. At first, Ai argued against it but in the end agreed with the plan as she needed to have full concentration to work on finding the antidote after they obtain the formula of APTX-4869. As such while Ai worked on the antidote, Conan will be thinking up strategies to completely take down the Black Organization at the final confrontation.
Two days later, they proceeded with the plan to be pulled out of school. Agasa-hakase pulled Ai out of school with the reason of health problems while Yukiko acting as Conan's mom, Edogawa Fumiyo, pulled Conan out of school with the reason that he needs to go back to his home country because of some family problems. Before Ai left the school, she told Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta not to visit Agasa-hakase's house often because she will there, healing herself and she did not want to spread her illness to them as her illness only affects children.
After the both of them settled everything concerning their Elementary School, Conan and Ai trained themselves in all kinds of infiltration skills for a week before they actually went to infiltrate the Black Organization's main HQ with the help of Kir (1), Bourbon (2) and surprisingly Vermouth (3). They each were equipped with a handgun, its ammunitions and silencer brought from the black market along with Agasa-hakase's inventions that were deemed necessary to infiltrate the HQ.
After they sneaked into the Black Organization's main HQ, they went into Ai's old bedroom (which was left alone even after Ai betrayed the Organization) where she kept a secret backup pendrive of the formula for APTX-4869 that even Gin did not notice. Ai slipped said pendrive into her own pocket and then they carefully and slowly escaped from the Black Organization's main HQ while hiding in the shadows whenever they heard footsteps approaching them.
When both of them were passing by an office, Conan heard two familiar voices talking. He was always curious, being a detective and all… so he carefully peeked into the office while Ai signed in annoyance as she was used to Conan's not-afraid-to-die attitude and stand guard.
Conan adjusted his glasses and used his zoom function. His eyes widened in shock when he saw the two people discussing things inside the office. It was Gin… and… and… 'him'! He also heard Gin calling 'him', 'Anokata'. Conan was really chocked that 'he' is the founder and creator of the Black Organization.
Conan heard them talking about the alliance they just gained with the Magic Kaito Organization. They know that the current Kaitou Kid is trying to find the Pandora (4) so that he can destroy it before his father's murderers manage to get the gem. The Magic Kaito Organization plans to take advantage of this and when Kaitou Kid finally steals the real Pandora gem, they will steal the gem a few days later when his guard is down and kill his real identity as Kuroba Kaito and all those precious to him. But for now, they will let him have his freedom and will not put anyone near him to surveillance him as he lives just beside a police detective.
Conan paled when he heard them wanting to kill Kuroba Kaito, a high school student of Ekoda High School that looked very similar to his teenage version of himself and somehow in his heart knew that he is Kaitou Kid. Conan did agree not to investigate about Kaitou Kid's real identity, but since Kaitou Kid found out about Conan's real identity, Conan decided to find out about Kaitou Kid's real identity and the reason of why he decided to become Kaitou Kid.
Suddenly, Ai tucked his sleeves and he heard footsteps approaching their way. Conan nods to her and they quickly hide into the shadows. After a while, the sound of footsteps vanished and they immediately went towards the place of how they got into the Black Organization's main HQ. They quickly escaped into a tunnel and went back to Agasa-hakase's house.

~ In Agasa-hakase's house ~
Agasa-hakase turned to where Conan and Ai were coming out from an underground tunnel connected to Ai's hidden computer room in Agasa-hakase's house's underground room. After they both got out, Conan locked the tunnel's entrance.
Agasa-hakase handed them each a bag. "How did it go?"
Ai opened the bag and puts everything brought from the black market into it. "It went well. We managed to get the formula and did not need to use the guns at all."
Conan did the same as Ai. "But there is bad news."
Agasa-hakase raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
Conan closed his bag and gave it back to Agasa-hakase. "When we were getting out, I heard two familiar voices talking and decided to peek into their meeting."
Ai rolled her eyes and gave her bag to Agasa-hakase as well while mumbling. "You and your curiosity…"
Conan ignored that. "Anyway, I found out who their 'Anokata' is and which organization they have just gained an alliance with."
Agasa-hakase was worried. "Shinichi… should you not tell the FBI about this?"
Conan nods. "I will in time, but I need to talk with someone else first and make some plans. I also feel that it is time I tell Ran about this…"
Ai was shocked. "What?! Kudo, you know that-"
Conan sighed. "Ai, it may be that we will not survive the final confrontation against the Black Organization and their allied organization. I would rather confess to her now than never. After all, you can finally create the permanent antidote for APTX-4869."
Ai through for a while and folded her hands in resignation. "Fine…"
Conan laughed. "Do not worry about it, Haibara…"
"Alright, fine then Kudo-kun. Now, who are the Black Organization in alliance with and just who is their 'Anokata'?"
Conan nods and begins to tell them what he had heard in the Black Organization's main HQ about who their 'Anokata' is and which organization they have just recently gained an alliance with. To say they were shocked did not cover it, especially when they heard that 'he' is the 'Anokata'.

~ After Conan explained to Ai and Agasa-hakase ~
Agasa-hakase sighed. "What is the plan now, Shinichi?"
Conan sipped his tea. "Just as we have planned before, Ai will start working on the antidote. How long will this take?"
Ai through for a while and hummed. "Around a week, since I will not have Agasa-hakase's help because of my 'illness'," and she rolled her eyes.
Agasa-hakase scratched his head. "I am sorry…"
Ai sighed. "It is alright hakase… you do not need to apologize. Kudo-kun is the one who should be apologizing since he is the one who planned this," and she turned to Conan. "So~ what will you be doing while I will not have hakase's help because of my 'illness' other than thinking up the strategies, Kudo-kun?"
"I will be going to Ekoda High School to search for a certain thief in order to gain an alliance with him I always knew that he was not stealing for the sake of stealing after all. Do not worry though… I will wear a disguise so that I will not attract any attention more than necessary."
Ai raised an eyebrow and hummed again. "Be sure to do so Kudo-kun, it is very dangerous for us now… even more so than ever."
Conan nods. "Yes, I know. I will not allow any harm to fall on anyone."
After the discussion was finished, Ai started working on the antidote while Agasa-hakase and Conan got out of Ai's hidden computer room. Conan quickly went into his room in Agasa-hakase's house and begins to investigate the few things he wanted to.
