Detective Conan/Case Closed: Final Truth
I do not own "Detective Conan/Case Closed," its characters and its concepts. They belong to Gosho Aoyoma and Tokyo Movie Shinsha (TMS). I also don't own Super Sentai, they're owned by Toei Company, LTD and TV Asahi, but I do own the "Tantei Sentai Globeranger" idea, so don't steal it.
Brief Recap: Last time on "Final Truth," while out swimming, Rachel and Mathew meet Hiroshi Kaijou, who happens to come from Mathew's home state of Hawaii. Meanwhile, the Global Detective Agency has discovered the true identity of Conan Edogawa, and have recruited the other Globerangers for the case. Conan later has a nightmare in which all of his friends are killed, which starts to worry him. Now, the APTX sample has been stolen from the GDA headquarters. What will happen next? "Final Truth" starts now!
Mathew was knocking on the door to the Moore residence. Rachel was the one who answered the door.
"Oh, hiya, Mathew," She said, happily to him.
"Hey, Rachel," Mathew said. "Now, what was so important that you had to call me at one o'clock this morning?"
"Well, you see..." Rachel was about to speak when Conan rushed out the door. "Hold it right there, mister!" Conan then quickly rushed back into the house. "And where are YOU going?"
"Anita called me," Conan said. "She wants to see me at Dr. Agasa's place."
"We'll go with you," Mathew said.
"NO!" Conan shouted, startling them both. "I mean...she wants me to come by myself."
"If she says so," Rachel said. "Just be careful."
"I will," Conan said before rushing back out the door.
"So, what happened, Rach?" Mathew asked her.
"He had a really bad nightmare last night," Rachel said.
"How bad?" Mathew asked.
Rachel told him about the nightmare.
"Wow, and you're sure he's okay now?" Mathew said.
"Yeah," Rachel said.
"I still think we should follow him," Mathew said.
"But, Mat..."
"Something's up with that kid, and I'm going to find out what," Mathew said.
"No, let him go," Rachel said. "Come on, let's go and hang out."
"Rachel, I just can't hang out like normal with everything that's been happening recently," Mathew said. "Now, I'm going to follow Conan, and don't try to stop me." He was about to leave when Rachel grabbed his shoulder.
"I'm coming with you," Rachel said.
"Alright then," Mathew said.
Back in the city, Anita was carrying the APTX 4869 sample in her jacket pocket. She was also wearing a bandana and sunglasses to conceal her identity. Masato was walking through the city in a business suit, carrying a briefcase in his hand. As he was walking, a man wheeling a ramen cart approached him.
"May I interest you in some ramen today?" he asked him. The ramen vendor was actually Shiro. "Only ten yen."
"Sure, why not?" Masato said to him. He then checked to see if anyone was watching them before going into 'detective' mode. "Any sign of the girl yet?"
"None," Shiro said as he handed him the ramen cup. Masato then paid him one ten-yen coin. "Still keeping an eye out for her, though."
"Good," Masato said. "Keep in touch."
"Will do," Shiro said. He then went off to continue his work. "Ramen! Only ten yen! Ramen!" Masato then ate some of the ramen.
"Not bad," Masato said.
Nearby, a gardener, actually Katashi, was busy clipping a bush outside of an apartment building. Masato then walked up to him.
"Nice work," Masato said, complimenting him.
"Thank you," Katashi said.
"Any luck?" Masato then asked him.
"Mm-mm," Katashi shook his head. "I'll keep an eye out for her, though."
"You may want to keep an eye on your bush as well," Masato said. Katashi then turned to see he had clipped off quite a bit of the bush.
"Whoops," Katashi said.
"Just be careful," Masato said as he walked off. Katashi then shrugged it off and started clipping again.
Over in another part of town, a bum was sleeping against the side of a building. Shiro, still dressed as a ramen vendor, walked up to the bum and gently kicked him in the side.
"Hey, wake up!" Shiro said to the bum, who was actually Hikaru. Hikaru then moaned and sat up a bit. "I think you're taking this job a little bit too seriously."
"Oh, sure, Shiro," Hikaru said. "Whatever you say."
"Did you see the girl yet?" Shiro asked him.
"Not yet, but I've got my eyes open for her," Hikaru said.
"Sure you do," Shiro said. "Just try and stay awake."
"Yes, sir," Hikaru said somewhat sarcastically. Shiro then went off to do more business when Hikaru fell asleep again.
Back at the Global Detective Japanese Headquarters, Shinichi was in the research room, looking up some information. He was trying to find the identity of the person that the Globerangers were searching for. When some information showed up on the computer, he gasped. At that moment, Kagura came into the room.
"Yamaguchi," Kagura said to him.
"Yes, Chōkan?" Shinichi asked nervously.
"What are you doing?"
"I was, uh…looking up some information on that person that broke in here last night, and I found something peculiar," Shinichi said. "Have a look at this." He then showed Kagura the information on the computer.
"Shiho Miyano?" Kagura read the info.
"And take a look at this," Shinichi said. He the pulled up the file of another person.
"Anita Hailey," Kagura said. "They look absolutely identical."
"And get this," Shinichi said. "Miyano is a former Black Organization member. In fact, she helped develop the APTX 4869 drug."
"Why would this Anita Hailey sneak into a government building just to steal a sample of this poison?" Kagura asked. He then realized it. "Yamaguchi…do you suppose…?"
"That she's probably another victim of the APTX?" Shinichi said. "Already crossed my mind, sir."
"Get in contact with the Globerangers," Kagura said.
Meanwhile, Conan was knocking on the door of Dr. Agasa's.
Come on, Agasa! Are you there or not? Jimmy thought to himself.
"Coming," Dr. Agasa said from inside. The then opened the door, revealing the worn out doctor to the mini-dective.
"Are you all right, Dr. Agasa?" Conan said.
"You would not believe what that girl has been doing!" Dr. Agasa said. "Immediately after your phone call last night, she dragged me over to the Global Detective Headquarters, and she demanded that she be given a tour of the place. Well, of course, they didn't let her, and as we were heading back home, she disappeared on me! I have no idea where that crazy girl as gone and I probably don't want to know!"
"Well, I think I may have an idea," Conan said. "She told me earlier to meet me here and that all my problems would be solved. She hasn't come back yet?"
"No, she hasn't," Dr. Agasa said. "She must have been out all night."
Outside, Rachel and Mathew were spying on them.
"What are they saying, Mathew?" Rachel asked him.
"I don't know," Mathew said. "I can't tell."
"What are you guys doing?" This started the two of them, who looked behind them and found the Junior Detectives standing behind them. Mitch was the one that spoke.
"Have you been following us?" Mathew asked them.
"Yes," all three of them said.
"Well, if you must know…we're spying on Conan," Rachel said.
"Why are you doing that?" Amy asked them. Rachel and Mathew both looked at each other before turning back to them.
"I guess we should start from the beginning," Mathew said. "You guys know who Booker and Vivian Kudo are?"
"No, we don't know," Amy answered.
"Well, they were the parents of Jimmy Kudo," Rachel said. "They were killed recently. It's been really upsetting Conan."
"That's awful," Mitch said, showing some sympathy.
"Anyways, both Rachel and I have been worried about him, and ever since he heard about the plane crash, he's been rushing off to who knows where without even telling us," Mathew said.
"It's been worrying the heck out of me," Rachel added.
"Is there anything we can do to help?" George asked.
"Keep an eye on him for us for the day," Rachel requested.
"Okay," all three said.
"Come on, Mathew," Rachel said. "Let's enjoy ourselves now."
"All right," Mathew said. "So, where to?"
Back in the city, Anita, under disguise, was walking through the crowds when she accidentally bumped into Masato.
"Oh!" Masato said as he dropped his briefcase. The vial had dropped out of Anita's jacket and landed right next to the briefcase.
"Why won't you watch where you're going?!" Anita yelled at Masato.
"Excuse me," Masato said. "But I believe that you bumped into me. Now apologize." Instead, Anita grabbed the vial and walked off. Masato then took another look at her and realized what was in the vial that she grabbed. He ran over to a nearby alleyway and activated a device (his Globicator) on his left wrist.
Over in another part of town, Rachel and Mathew were walking down the street when the ramen cart was wheeled up to them.
"Ramen," Shiro called out. "Ramen, only ten yen a cup!"
"Want some?" Mathew asked Rachel. "I'll treat."
"Sure," Rachel said.
"Two, please," Mathew said to Shiro, who poured two cups of ramen, one for him, and one for Rachel.
"That'll be 20 yen, please," Shiro said to Mathew. Mathew handed him two 10-yen coins. "Thank you very much." He then wheeled off. "Ramen, only ten yen a cup!"
"What's up, Mathew?" Rachel asked her friend, who had a suspicious look on his face.
"There's something strange about that man," Mathew said. "It's probably nothing."
As soon as Shiro as out of earshot of Rachel and Mathew, his wrist started beeping. He then checked to see if the coast was clear, then he brought up his left wrist and activated the Globicator.
"Shiro here," he said.
"I've found the girl," Masato said on the other side. "I'm following her right now. Call the others and have them meet regroup with me."
"Yes, sir, kouhai," Shiro said.
"Don't call me kouhai," Masato said before ending the transmission.
"Bakayarou," Shiro then said to himself.
Meanwhile, Hikaru was still dozing off outside of the building he had been assigned to. Just then, his Globicator went off, waking him up.
"Huh?" Hikaru said sleepily. "I thought I turned this damned thing off." He then answered it. "Yeah?"
"Are you awake, imbécil?" Katashi asked from the other side.
"Do you even know what that means?" Hikaru asked him.
"Just wanted you to know that we need to regroup," Katashi said. "Watanabe's found the suspect."
"About damn time," Hikaru said as he stood up. "I'll be right over."
Meanwhile, Anita continued walking, unaware that Masato was secretly following her. She suddenly started walking faster, but the noticed that Shiro was right in front of her, walking towards her. She then turned to her left, and found Katashi walking from that direction. She then turned around and noticed Hikaru walking towards her. Just then, she started running at full speed, between Shiro and Katashi and far away from them.
"She's getting away!" Hikaru said.
"Miyagawa, Oikawa, go after her!" Masato ordered. Shiro and Katashi then ran after her.
"What about me, jefe?" Hikaru asked Masato. At that moment, Masato's Globicator went off again. He then answered it.
"Watanabe here."
"Senpai," Shinichi said from headquarters, "the suspect happens to be a former Black Organization member. Be extremely careful."
"Got it, Shinichi," Masato said before 'hanging up.' "Hikaru, go help Shiro and Katashi."
"Roger," Hikaru saluted him before rushing off.
Shiro and Katashi were now chasing Anita, who seemed to be capable of evading them and ran down an alleyway.
"Let's go," Katashi said. Just then, Hikaru caught up to them.
"What's up, Hikaru?" Shiro asked.
"That girl over there's a former Black Organization member," Hikaru said.
"Black Organization member?" Katashi said.
"Wonderful," Shiro said. "Better do it old fashioned way." He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a pentagonal-shaped badge, which was blue with white letters that said 'GD.' "Ready?" Katashi and Hikaru then pulled out their badges: Katashi with a black badge with green letters, and Hikaru with a red badge with yellow letters.
"Ready!" Katashi and Hikaru said.
"GLOBERANGER…SUIT UP!" The three men then extended their Globe Badges and transformed into Globerangers.
Shiro transformed into Globe Britain: he wore a blue suit, blue gloves and boots with white stripes on the top of them, a gold belt with a blue buckle with white letters "GBR," on the left breast was a blue pentagonal-shaped badge with the white letters "GD," the helmet having a triangle-shaped opaque visor with the same blue badge on the forehead, only it had the letters "GB" on it.
Katashi transformed into Globe Kenya: he wore a green suit, green gloves and boots with black stripes on the top of them, a gold belt with a black buckle with green letters "KEN," on the left breast was a black pentagonal-shaped badge with the green letters "GD," the helmet having a 'V'-shaped opaque visor with the same black badge on the forehead, only it had the letters "GK" on it.
Hikaru transformed into Globe España: he wore a yellow suit, yellow gloves and boots with red stripes on the top of them, a gold belt with a red buckle with yellow letters "ESP," on the left breast was a red pentagonal-shaped badge with the yellow letters "GD," the helmet having a rectangle-shaped opaque visor with the same red badge on the forehead, only it had the letters "GE" on it.
Meanwhile, Mitch knocked on the door to Dr. Agasa's place.
"Dr. Agasa, it's Mitch," Mitch called out. At that moment, the door opened, revealing…"Conan?"
"What are you guys doing here?" Conan asked.
"We should be asking you that," George said.
"Dr. Agasa wanted to see me for a few minutes," Conan said. "Alone."
"Does that mean we can't come in?" Amy asked.
At that moment, Dr. Agasa walked up to the door.
"Of course, you can come in," he said to the trio. "I don't mind having visitors for a while."
"Great," The three of them said at the same time. Soon, the three kids entered the house.
"Hey, where's Anita?" Amy asked.
"I don't know," Dr. Agasa said. "She hasn't been home since last night."
"Conan?" Amy asked, turning to Conan.
"Don't look at me," Conan said. "I don't know where she is."
"You sure?" George asked.
"I'm sure," Conan said. "Dr. Agasa, do they have to be here?"
"My boy, what's with the sudden urgeness of shooing them out?" Dr. Agasa asked.
"You know," Conan said, giving him a little wink.
"Oh, that's right!" Dr. Agasa said. "I was going to try a new experimenet on Conan, but I need complete privacy in order to perform it! So, could everyone please leave the house for just a few moments, please?"
"Sure," the three young guns said as they stepped outside.
"That was WAY too close," Conan said.
"Just where is that girl?" Dr. Agasa asked.
Anita was still running through the alleyway when she saw three flashes of light fly over her. Just then, three masked warriors appeared in front of her, dressed in green, blue, and yellow costumes.
"What in the…"
"The Blue Warrior of Courage…GLOBE BRITAIN!"
"The Green Warrior of Wisdom…GLOBE KENYA!"
"The Yellow Warrior of Power…GLOBE ESPAÑA!"
"Great Britain, Kenya, Spain," Anita said. "Is this some kind of joke?"
"This is no joke, Black Organization!" Globe Britain exclaimed.
"Black Organization?" Anita said confusedly. "I don't know anything about any Black Organization."
"Then, what are you doing with the APTX 4869?" Globe Kenya asked.
"Huh?"
"The vial in your jacket," Globe Kenya said.
"You mean this?" Anita said, taking the vial out of her jacket. "Why are you so interested in it?"
"That's not important, señorita," Globe España said. "Now, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way."
"What are you guys talking about?" Anita asked.
"The easy way is you hand that thing to us, and you come with us peacefully," Globe Britain said. "The hard way, we forcibly take that from you and drag you back to headquarters. Your choice."
"I don't have time for this," Anita said. She then turned around and started walking away. Globe Kenya then flipped over her, turned around, and directed his Globe Staff at him. The other Globerangers took out their Globe Staffs as well.
"Hard way it is, then," Globe Britain said. He then pressed a button on his Globe Staff which extended its length from around 30 centimeters too nearly 1.8 meters long. The others then did the same. "Now, we'll give you one more chance. Surrender peacefully, or we'll have to use force. There's nowhere left to run." Anita then suddenly leapt over them and ran off.
"Man, what's with that girl?" Globe Kenya asked. Globe España the pressed a button on his Globe Staff, which transformed it into a set of daggers. He was then set to throw one of them towards Anita.
"Wait!" Globe Britain held his arm out, preventing España from throwing a dagger.
"But she's getting away," Globe España said.
"I don't think so," Globe Britain said.
Anita was still running in the alleyway and saw the street just ahead.
"Finally!" Anita said. But, just then, Masato stepped out and stood right in front of her. "Blast!" He then brought out his Globe Badge.
"GLOBERANGER…SUIT UP!" Masato extended his Globe Badge and transformed into Globe Japan.
"Another one?!" Anita said as she stood eye to eye with the leader of the Globerangers.
"The Red Warrior of Justice…GLOBE JAPAN!" Globe Japan then pulled out his Globe Staff and transformed it into a bō. "Globe Staff…BŌ MODE!"
Anita quickly turned around and noticed the other three Globerangers heading towards, her, bōs in hand.
"I told you there was nowhere to run," Globe Britain said. Sighing, Anita gave up.
Back at Agasa's house, Conan was pacing impatiently.
"Just relax, Jimmy," Dr. Agasa said. "Everything will be fine." At that moment, the phone rang. "I'll answer it." He then walked over to the phone and answered it. "Yes?"
"Dr. Agasa, please?"
"Speaking," he said.
"Doctor, this is Heiko Kagura, commander of the Global Detective Agency, Japan Division," the voice on the other side said.
"What?!" Dr. Agasa said. "Well, thank you for finding her! She's been missing since last night!"
"Save the theatrics, Doctor," Kagura said. "Your niece here could face some very serious charges. Now, I'd like you to come over here so I can more thoroughly explain what she could be facing."
"Is it alright if I bring a friend along?" Doctor Agasa asked.
"No," Kagura said. "To tell you the truth, doctor, she requested that you come here. Alone."
"Alright then," Doctor Agasa said.
"Sorry if she bothered you."
"We're already sending a ride for you, Doctor," Kagura said. "Good morning." He then hung up.
"Well, Jimmy, she requested that I come alone," Doctor Agasa said to Conan.
"Why would she do that?" Conan asked.
"I don't know, but I do think that you should stay here," Dr. Agasa said as he walked over to get his hat.
"Fine," Conan said, making himself comfortable.
Soon, the ride for Dr. Agasa had arrived, so he left Conan to watch over the house. As soon as he was in the car and off, a mysterious figure appeared in the bushes.
"He's left," the person said into a walkie-talkie.
"Good," the person on the other side said. "Time to make your move."
Meanwhile, Rachel and Mathew were over at the arcade. They were playing "Dance Dance Revolution," and were attracting quite a bit of attention from some of the other games.
"Did you see those guys?"
"They're kinda good."
"Good? They're freaking awesome, man!"
Mathew and Rachel were playing adjacent DDR machines, and were scoring quite high. The two friends were neck and neck with each other until Rachel missed a note and Mathew wound up winning.
"Too bad you missed that note," Mathew said to Rachel after they finished. "I wanted a fight all the way to the end." After the two friends got off, the audience the two attracted, cleared a path for them.
"Where did all those people come from?" Rachel asked.
"I don't know," Mathew said. "Obviously, they were watching us." Just then, his cell phone rang, which he answered. "Hello?"
"Is this…Mathew?" the voice on the other end asked.
"Who is this?" Mathew asked suspiciously.
"I can't tell you who I am," the guy said. "But I can leave you with a piece of advice…don't trust anybody." He then hung up.
"Wait! Wait!!" Mathew said, until he heard beeps. He then hung up. Rachel was about to speak, but Mathew stopped her. "Before you ask, I don't know who that was."
"Oh," Rachel said. Just then, her cell phone went off.
"Hello?" Rachel said after answering it.
"Rachel?"
"Oh, hello, Dr. Agasa," Rachel said. "What's up?"
"Conan's over at my house," Dr. Agasa said. "Could you please keep an eye on him for a few minutes?"
"Oh, alright," Rachel said, sounding a bit disappointed.
"Where are you anyway?" She asked Dr. Agasa.
"I'm on my way to the Global Detective Headquarters," Dr. Agasa said. "I can't tell you why, though."
"Oh," Rachel said.
"I'll try and talk to you later, though," Dr. Agasa said.
"Alright, but only for a few minutes because I'm hanging out with Mathew right now," Rachel answered.
"Bring him with you as well," Dr. Agasa said. "Oh, I need to let you go now. Bye-bye." He then hung up.
"Okay..." Rachel said and hung up.
"Dr. Agasa asked me to look over Conan for a few minutes," She said to Mathew.
"I see," Mathew said.
"Hey, Mathew..."
"Yeah?"
"I've been meaning to ask you," Rachel said. "What do you know about the Global Detective Agency?"
"Well, I know that they actually asked me if I would work for them some time ago, but I politely turned them down," Mathew said.
"Well, Dr. Agasa is going there for some reason," Rachel said to him. "So, after I watch over Conan, we'll do some more hanging out," She assured him.
"I mean think about it," Mathew said. "The plane crash, Conan running off like that, the phone call I got just a minute ago."
"Uh-huh," Rachel said.
"I'm going to have a talk with Conan when we get to Dr. Agasa's place," Mathew said.
"Do you HAVE to talk to him?" Rachel asked, pulling him into a nearby alley.
"Why?" Mathew asked. "Are you hiding something from me, Rachel Moore?"
"I'm not hiding anything from you," Rachel responded, hugging him.
"But I have a feeling that Conan is," Mathew said. "And I'm going to find out what..." Just then, his cell phone rang again. "I swear, if it's that guy again..." He then answered it. "Hello? Hey, Serena! Good to hear from you! I hope this isn't collect."
"It isn't," Serena responded.
"Good," Mathew said. "So, how's the Philippines?"
"Great," Serena said. "I really love this place. The scenery, the people. Dad even got to see the place where they had the Thrilla in Manila."
"That's awesome," Mathew said, feeling happy for her. "When do you get back?"
"Tonight," Serena said.
"Tonight?" Mathew said, looking surprised.
"Yeah," Serena said. "After he heard what happened to the Kudos, Dad wanted to get back as quickly as possible."
"How does HE know them?" Mathew asked her.
"Well, I saw what happened on the news, and when I told him, he wanted us to head back," Serena said. "He wouldn't tell me why, though."
"Oh," Mathew simply said.
"Anyways, we'll be back at about 9:00 p.m. Japan time," Serena said. "I'll be coming over as soon as we get back."
"Alright, I'll try to make it home by then," Mathew said. "I'm hanging out with Rachel right now."
"Is she near you?" Serena asked.
"Well..." Mathew said. Just then, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Hiroshi Kaijou standing behind him.
"Hey," Hiroshi said. "Could you end your call, please? We need to talk."
"Hold on, Serena," Mathew said, covering up a part of his phone. "About what?" He asked him. Hiroshi then grabbed the phone. "Hey!"
"He'll call you back," Hiroshi said before hanging up the phone.
"That was rude," Rachel said to Hiroshi. "Come on, Mathew. Let's leave this rude Hiroshi guy and go watch Conan. I'm late anyway." Hiroshi then grabbed her.
"I can't let you leave," Hiroshi said. "At least, not yet."
"We don't have time, so whatever it is, it will have to wait, and I won't take no for an answer," Rachel said to him.
"All right," Hiroshi said. "Then, we can do this at the station then."
"The station?" Mathew asked.
"I'll call the police and have you both arrested for refusing to cooperate," Hiroshi said.
"Oh fine," Rachel said.
"Thank you," Hiroshi said. "Now, then, I'd like to ask you both a couple of questions about the Kudo plane crash."
Back at Dr. Agasa's house, Conan was napping on the couch when there was a knock on the door.
"Hmm?" Conan said, putting on his glasses, which were on the nearby endtable. "I wonder who that is." He then walked over to the door and opened it. He gasped as he saw Gin of the Black Organization looking at him, holding a knife in his hand.
"Got you!" Gin said.

Global Detective Files—Globe Badges and Globicators
Shiro and Shinichi are in the lab, holding their Globe Badges. Shiro has his customized blue-and-white badge, while Shinichi has a plain gray-and-silver badge.
"This is a Globe Badge," Shiro said. "We use these to identify us as Global Detectives to people. Our Globe Badges have a special ability. They allows us to transform into Globerangers.
"I have a regular Globe Badge," Shinichi said. "I can't transform into a Globeranger."
"Cheer up, Shin-chan," Shiro said. "You will be able to transform into a Globeranger some day."
"Really?" Shinichi said.
"Yeah, in about thirty years from now," Shiro said. Shinichi then fell on the floor. Katashi and Hikaru then walked up, showing their Globicators, worn on the left wrist.
"These are our Globicators," Katashi said. "They allow us to communicate with each other, as well as our headquarters."
"Check this out," Hikaru said as he activated his Globicator. "Katashi, come in."
"Katashi here," he said. "What's up?"
"You guys are right next to each other," Shiro said, sweatdropping.
Sorry for ending the chapter like that, but I just HAD to have a cliffhanger.
