SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING FOR SOOOO LONG!
TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU DUDES I MADE THIS CHAPTER REAL LONG!
ITS OVER 6 THOUSAND WORDS and 12 pages!
ENJOY!
"Oy, oy, you're squeezing the life out of me KID. I've only just recovered you know. I'm not some teddy bear to hug in your sleep." Protests Conan, wiggling about to get out of the deadlock hold he's in. "Damn it, I don't have my watch on me, nor my shoes. KID let go!"
"Oh? So this is the thanks I get for looking after you? Well," KID replies haughtily. He stretches his arm out to the side, and prepares to click. Conan sees this action and closes his eyes, preparing himself for whatever trick or prank is to come. When he hears the click, but feels no smoke, he dares to open one eye. Opening the other eye, he sees a yellow rose. "I'm just glad that you are okay, chibi or not."
Smiling Conan takes the rose, and places it on his lapel. "Yeah, thanks KID"
"Um, sorry to interrupt this moment. Conan, I understand why we've changed your name, but why are you calling Kaito KID. One moment it was 'I felt Kaito tense' and the next it's 'KID let go' ?" questions Tsuna, his intuition sensing something more going on here.
"Hm? Because this is KID." Conan says as if it's obvious. Tsuna still looks confused- his dame-self not getting it. Sighing, Conan elaborates. "He called me Tantei-kun. That's a name only Kaitou KID calls me. Kaito calls me Conan, or Shin-chan, but Shinichi when he's serious. For KID it's Tantei-kun for Conan and Meitantei for Shinichi." Conan gets out from under the warmth of the cape, and stretches. Walking over to his bag, he places on his shoes, glasses and wristwatch, fully becoming Conan.
"So when are we doing this faux heist?" inquires Conan, looking back at Tsuna.
"Well whenever you are ready" Tsuna replies, not wanting to stay up too late to do this. Conan nods in understanding. In the quiet that follows a growl can be heard. Immediately Conan turns a bright shade of red. "haha. Let's get you something to eat first. You missed lunch, both of you."
Walking over to the door, he opens it and lets the pair out.
"Oh, so this is Conan." Comments Yamamoto, seeing who came out of the room.
"Yeah, Yamamoto it is. I'm going with them to get some food. Can you go and find the others and tell them to prepare for the heist. Better get it over and done with." Requests Tsuna, as he walks along the corridor.
"Sure thing Tsuna. I'll grab the others and we can start the game." Agrees Yamamoto, waving as he goes down a different corridor.
"This is our destination guys" announces Tsuna.
The place that they have arrived at is a Vongola training ground, designed to train mafia members in how to infiltrate a building. It consists of one main open area on the bottom floor, and on the second floor a selection of rooms and hallways with different themes, such as offices and houses. The perfect place for a heist. It has just gone past dusk; dark but with enough light to see where you are going. Lights are on in the building, like there would be for a real heist. Lucky enough for KID, the building is on the top of a hill. According to Gokudera, this was so that no one trespassed here, since they might get hurt. For KID, it means room and height for the use of his glider. For this time, he actually has to get away with the jewel too- all the way to the surrounding fence. If he gets here then he wins. If one of the others manages to catch him, then the Vongola win.
For fairness, since the Vongola are 'better equipped' than the police force, KID is allowed to have Conan help him. However the Vongola team don't know what kind of gadgets Conan has.
Everyone gets out of the car that has transported them all to this venue, and start to look around. Ryohei helps Conan out of the car, and Conan gives him a pat on the arm in thanks. He walks up to Tsuna and pulls on his Jacket. "Um, Tsuna, no one's going to notice us here are they?"
"Don't worry Conan, there are no houses around here, so we won't disturb anyone." Accepting the answer, Conan walks over to where Yamamoto and Gokudera are, arguing over something again.
Pulling on Gokudera's sleeve, Conan gets his attention. "Gokudera, who do you think will catch KID?"
"Juudaime will of course" shouts Gokudera.
"Are you sure, I thought it might be someone like Hibari or Mukuro, they seem stronger." Innocently questions Conan, looking in Mukuro's direction.
"No way! Juudaime is the strongest and the fastest, so of course he'll catch KID." Roars Gokudera, offended at Conan's comment. Conan backs away from the angry Gokudera and hides behind Yamamoto's leg, clutching onto Yamamoto's trousers.
"Maa, maa Gokudera, calm down. You're scaring the kid." Chastises Yamamoto. Conan leaves the two argue about his age vs. his appearance, and walks over to Mukuro.
"Ne, Mukuro," he says, Mukuro looks down at him. Conan waves at him, signaling that he wants Mukuro on his level. Mukuro kneels down. Conan whispers in his ear, leaning on Mukuro's shoulder for support. "Don't mess with KID too much, he's a bit crazy as it is. I'd like to take him home in one piece please."
Mukuro stands up, laughing all the way. "Of course Shinichi, although I suppose that I should call you Conan now."
Nodding in answer and waving his goodbye, he walks over to where Hibari is. Conan stands under a tree and looks up, watching Hibari lounge on a low branch. If he stands on tiptoes he can just reach the end of the jacket that Hibari constantly has on his shoulders. Pulling on it slightly, he makes Hibari look down from his perch, and raise an eyebrow.
"What do you want herbivore?" he questions. So what he said is true, he really does look like a ten year old. Hibari didn't do crowds, and so didn't travel here with the rest- he made his own way here once he knew the time and place. Therefore he hadn't seen Conan before.
"Umm, I was just wondering, you aren't planning on killing KID are you? The others all say that you are really strong. I just don't want him to get hurt too badly." Conan looks up, a tiny bit of pleading in his eyes.
"Hmph, no I won't kill him. There's no point in killing him. I just want to see how strong he is. The way he blocked my attack earlier has interested me." Hibari looks over to where KID is at, and seems to forget Conan is even there.
Conan looks around for his final target. Spotting him over by the car, Conan trots over.
"Oy, Lambo. Don't fall asleep now, we haven't even started yet." Shaking the cow he tries to wake him up.
"Ah. La. La? [yawn] Oh, It's you. Lambo-sama is feeling tired, so I was trying to take a nap before we started. The car ride here was long enough for me to get to sleep." Lambo answers drowsily.
"I'll let you get back to sleep then." Answers Conan, amazed at how quickly Lambo does go back to sleep.
His job done, he has only one more task to do before he's ready to start. He walks over to KID, who is standing away from the group, looking at the building's surroundings. Placing himself so that KID is standing between him and the others, Conan hands him an earring.
"Wear this, it's from the Hakase." Conan hands over a modified version of the Cell-phone Earring. "It's a two way communicator. If I set my bow tie to a certain channel then you can hear what I'm saying to you, and a speaker in my glasses lets me hear what you are saying. In addition I've placed these on all of the others." Conan holds up a small button sized circle in between his forefinger and thumb. "They were originally mini speakers for use with my bow tie, but before your heist I got the Hakase to modify them into tracking devices too. I was planning to use them on you, but you never got close enough. Using these and this," out of his bag he pulls out the Tracking Map Notebook. "I can track where everyone is. This way, they'll only get close to you if you want them too."
"Whoa, you really did come prepared Tantei-kun, didn't you? You don't have a pair of larger speakers in there do you, or some tracking glasses for me?" he questions, looking down at the bag Conan is holding.
"Larger speakers? What do you think this is? Mary Poppins' Bag? No of course I don't. I have had to carry this all day you know. And no, I don't have another pair of tracking glasses for your use. If you need speakers though, I've got a load more of these button speakers." Conan fumes at KID. He's not a magician like the two of them; he can't just make things magically appear. He hands the Kaitou the rest of his supply of speakers, wondering what he wants to do with them.
Bending down, KID whispers his plan into Conan's ear. Conan nods, his own KID-like grin appearing on his face. "That's perfect."
"Oy~ KID, Conan, Come over here, we're about to start." States Tsuna, waving at the pair.
Both walk over, enter the main room on the first floor, and stand in front of the Vongola Family.
"On this table is the 'jewel'. It's actually just a paperweight I found laying about. KID feel free to inspect the 'jewel' and the table to see if they are tampered with" explains Gokudera. KID does so, seeing nothing except a sturdy table and one glass paperweight with a flame pattern on the glass.
"Okay the only rule is that there is to be no killing, fatal or major injuries. Hibari, that means scratches, cuts, bruises, or a quick knock to unconsciousness only. You are not, in any way, to attempt to kill him or break any of his bones. Or to stab him with your hedgehog either. Mukuro, you are not allowed to drive him insane. Your illusions are for distraction purposes only. Remember he's part of the family now. We want to be sending him on missions, not to the mental health asylum. Everyone else, I think you're okay." Outlines Gokudera, giving each named person a death glare. Not that they care. "Right, KID and Conan, you now have half an hour to prepare the heist location. I know that usually you do this earlier on in the day, but half an hour is the best we can do at the moment. The moment you move from that spot the 30 minutes start."
"Ready Tantei-kun?" asks KID, looking at his one time rival.
"When am I not?" replies Conan, grinning back at KID.
Both turn around and stride out of the room and up the stairs.
"Conan you know your part of the plan, right. I'm off to finish the traps. I want you to stay in this room. I'll leave it and the corridor outside trap free." KID winks, ruffling Conan's hair before leaving the room. Conan sits down in the large leather office chair, and gets ready for the chase.
It's weird to be this side of a heist. Although it's not really a heist. This reminds me of the first time I matched wits against KID; It was at the clock tower, with me directing the police from the helicopter. But this time, I'm directing KID away from the 'police'. I suppose that I had better get used to this feeling. Me and KID and Kaito will be working together a lot more now.
"Uri, come on out. We're going to play chase with the thief again" orders Gokudera. In a flash of red flame, Uri is sat next to Gokudera. Immediately, the cat eyes her master and jumps upon his face, scratching for all she is worth. "Ouch, you stupid cat. Get off!"
"Hey, that's a good idea. But I need Jirou and Kojirou to help me fight. I can't send them off to track KID down. Tsuna could if he wanted to though." Compliments Yamamoto. He rubs his hand over his rings, as if petting the two animals inside.
"Hmm. Maybe later. I think that Uri did a good enough job last time." Replies Tsuna, pulling Uri off of Gokudera.
Taking Uri back off of Tsuna, Gokudera holds her at arm's length and stares straight into her eyes. "Uri, I want you to capture KID again for me. Do you think you can do that? When you find him, sit on him again until one of us gets there. Understand?" For once Uri respectfully listens- most likely due to the fact that she gets to chase and sit on someone again. She nods and growls, surrounding herself in red and yellow flames.
Gokudera let's go, and a full sized Uri lands on the floor.
"Extreme! Go Uri, transform!" shouts Ryohei.
"Gokudera, I was wondering about this earlier. But how come Uri can grow big. You said that the first time she did it in the future, it was due to the sun flame's activation. But she hasn't been in contact with Kangaryuu recently." Interrogates Tsuna, seeing the giant leopard sat at his feet.
"Well, it seems that once Kangaryuu did it the first time, it unlocked the ability. I use sun flames as part of my Sistema C.A.I. So she takes some of those and grows herself. She only learnt how to do it recently though. I was really shocked the first time: We were having another fight, and she was really mad at me, more so than usual. Suddenly, she growls and I'm pinned to the floor by her adult form. I think that it takes up a lot of flames though, so that's why she doesn't do it often."
"Wow, that's amazing Gokudera!" Tsuna claps, praising Gokudera's new power
Gokudera turns to his Juudaime, sparkling and tail wagging. "Oh thank you Juudaime."
"One minute left" says Hibari, leaning against the table. He wants a good shot at KID when he comes for the jewel.
3...
"Ladies and gentlemen!" comes the voice from all around them. No one can pinpoint its source. It's literally coming from every angle.
2...
"Let the Show..." and with that KID drops from the roof and lands upon the table.
1...
"Begin" Leaning down, he ducks under a tonfa strike and grabs the jewel. Hands fall to the floor as KID dives off of the table and into a hand stand, this time dodging a sword swing.
Holy Hell, where did that sword come from? All he had was a bamboo stick.
Hibari pivots to face KID, bringing his foot up for a kick. KID propels himself up and jumps over Tsuna. The kick meant for him slams into Tsuna, forcing Tsuna to slide several meters into a wall.
"Juudaime!" shouts Gokudera, turning to follow his boss' crash.
Mukuro runs at KID, his eye changing to the Kanji for 4. Kaitou KID looks straight at the illusionist and smiles widely. His gun points upwards and he shoots. The card zooms up towards the ceiling, cutting through a rope. This rope was part of a net holding as many footballs as Conan's belt could muster. They fall straight onto the illusionist, and bounce in other directions too.
Kaitou KID kicks one to his left, causing Ryohei to dive out of the way. It slams against the wall like a dodge ball and rebounds in a different direction, straight towards Yamamoto's back. Tsuna flies in, recovered and in Dying Will Mode, and punches the ball away. KID kicks a few more balls all in different directions. All of the balls rebound off of different areas of the walls, and some even on the floor and ceiling. Mukuro pierces one ball with his trident, whilst Yamamoto slices another. Hibari whacks one with his tonfa, but it only increases the velocity of the ball. Soon this ball is charging around faster than the rest. Kaitou KID kicks the last few remaining balls, and elegantly dances to the exit, waving to the others before going through the door.
The others are having no such luck, nearly immobilized by the rampaging footballs. Gokudera takes one to the back of the head, and shouting, slams his fist into another. This one bounces off the floor, and straight into Ryohei's stomach, making him wince slightly. Lambo is under the table screaming his head off.
Hibari sends cloud flames to his animal ring. "Roll, get rid of them. They are annoying"
The small hedgehog pops out of the box, and with a small 'kyu' rolls into a ball. Using it's propagation ability, it multiplies itself.
BANG, BANG, BANG!
The spikes from all of the hedgehogs burst the footballs, stopping the flying projectiles in their tracks. Eventually, there are no more storming footballs, and everyone sighs a sigh of relief. Hibari runs down the hallway KID had taken, whilst Mukuro takes a different exit.
Lambo crawls out from under the table. "Gyupa, that was scary. I'm never going to see a football the same way again."
"Come on guy's, I'm not letting that thief get away from me!" roars Gokudera, following the path Hibari took earlier.
"Okay KID, there is a person on the corridor parallel to you, don't take the next left turning. There is one person about 200 m behind you, they'll be rounding the corner in 3, 2, 1, now." Warns Conan, sat in his comfy office chair.
KID looks behind him to see Hibari flying around the corner, tonfas drawn. KID dives into the room next to him and shuts the door behind him. Hibari slams the door off its hinges creating a satisfying boom. KID takes his card gun and aims a card directly at Hibari's feet. Dodging the attack, Hibari jumps forwards, and brings his tonfa around to hit KID's ribs. KID sidesteps the attack, drawing his cape around him in the process
Just one more step. KID swings around Hibari and flares out his cape. Out of the cape flies sparks, flashes, bangs as well as streamers and confetti. Hibari, not prepared for the shock this display presented, took the crucial step backwards.
Per~fect! KID purrs
KID pushes a button on his controller, and Hibari's tonfas are removed from his grip, to rise towards the ceiling and stay there. Looking down from the ceiling, Hibari glares at KID, and goes to make a move against him. However, his muscles won't obey him, no matter how much he wills them too.
Hibari glares at KID, his eyes portraying the question "What have you done to me herbivore?" in their sharpness, directness and flash of defiance. But the well trained KID can see confusion, hidden right at the back, almost unnoticeable.
"Oh, well let me tell you." Remarks KID walking towards Hibari. He stops slightly away from him, and takes out some wire from his sleeve. "You see," KID leaves a length of wire on the floor, before starting to walk around Hibari, being very careful to maintain his distance. "You most likely don't feel it, but very tiny spikes have pierced your feet, and are sending a slight rhythmical electric shock into your nervous system. This disrupts the flow of electrical instructions from your brain to the rest of your body. As you can feel, this is painless, and won't do you any lasting damage, so it's still following my rules. Amazing what modern technology can do." He grins a predator grin at Hibari, and doesn't miss the flash of revenge in Hibari's eyes. He picks up the rest of the wire from earlier, and finishes securing Hibari- just in case he eventually gets free. "Oh, and I'll be taking this." Carefully he reaches over, and removes Roll's ring from Hibari's hand. "I don't want you sending anything after me. That leopard was bad enough".
And with that, he leaves an infuriated Hibari in the room, fixing the door on his way out so no one knows what has happened here. "Tantei-kun that was Hibari. I've immobilized him. Where are the others?"
"Yes, I heard what you said to him. Very ingenious. And very sneaky too. One person is the other side of the building. Another is following your path and will be with you soon. The rest are still in the main room down stairs."
"Hmm, good. I'm going to see who's following me. Once I've discovered their identity we'll put the plan into action." Replies KID, already planning on the next outcome.
He stands at the next intersection, weight on the balls of his feet, ready to run at a moment's notice.
"Okay here he comes, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, now" counts Conan.
As soon as the person rounds the corner, KID recognizes them immediately, and is soon running off down the next hallway. With his perfect timing, the follower has just noticed KID's cape rounding the corner, and immediately gives chase.
"Tantei-kun, it's Gokudera." Breaths KID. "Which is the best way for me to go?"
"You go to the left, if you follow it around it'll take you back to where Hibari is. I'll take him to the right and then away from the other person in that area. He'll end up near the center of the building, is that okay?" reports Conan, his finger flying over the paths on the map. His brows are furrowed in concentration, but little does he know that a huge smile has spread across his face, and his eyes have lit up like a Christmas tree. Even though he is as cool, calm and clear headed as usual, there is an undertone of excitement, lingering in the back of his brain, driving him on, urging him into participating in this game with everything he's got. The thrill of working on a heist with KID, of playing around with these people, is immense. No wonder KID loves to play games with me and the taskforce, this feeling is so invigorating.
"Yeah, Tantei-kun, that's fine. The perfect trap for him is there. He's all yours." KID's smile and pleasure can be heard in his voice as he runs down the corridor and turns left.
Ah! That was KID, I saw his cape. Well he can't get away from me that easily. I can't let some thief beat Juudaime and Vongola. Gokudera picks up the pace, turning the corner that KID just did. Yet there is no one there. He runs up to the next crossroads, looking both left and right, but there is no sign. Nothing has been disturbed; there aren't even footprints on the carpet.
"AAHH, Gokudera, save me!" Shouts Juudaime. What? Juudaime is in trouble. I've got to go help him. If he's harmed my Juudaime then he's going to be leaving here of a stretcher. Fuck the rules.
Gokudera takes the right corridor, following the sound of Juudaime's voice.
"G-Gokudera, I'm scared. Gokudera, h-help me!" Screams Juudaime, his voice vibrating with fright. Juudaime sounds as if he's going to burst into tears.
"Come on Uri, we've got to go save Juudaime." Yells Gokudera, looking back at his partner. She answers with a roar of agreement, and leaps infront of him, rounding another corner.
He stops outside of a door, hearing Juudaime's whimpers coming from the room inside. He carefully opens the door a crack, and sends Uri inside, not wanting to be attacked by KID for a careless entrance. Uri growls low, signaling that KID is nowhere in sight. Gokudera walks in and sees his Juudaime tied to a chair, facing away from the door.
"Juudaime, don't worry. I'm here to save you!" says Gokudera, pride in his voice. Out of all the people he could shout out for it's me. He really has accepted me as his right hand man. He trusts in me, more than anyone else. That means so much. I'm going to cry.
"Oh Gokudera. I'm so glad that you're here. I went looking for KID, using my flames to catch up. But as I rounded a corner I flew into a cloud of smoke. It was Sleeping Gas. I inhaled too much at once and when I woke up I was here, tied to this chair. I was so scared. I'm really glad that you are here Gokudera. I knew that I could count on you." Babbles Juudaime, everything coming out fast due to his fright.
Gokudera rushes forward, and kneels by the back of the chair to untie the ropes from Juudaime's hands. As he starts to untie the ropes he hears a cracking sound. He looks up and starts to look around the room, placing most of his weight on his left foot so that he can change position. Then, there is a loud crack, and the floor falls out from under him. Uri too is in range, since she was sitting next to her master, and falls with Gokudera. Gokudera's back slams against something solid (the ceiling of the room below) and all breath leaves his lungs. He moves his arm, but feels a restraining force. There is also something digging into his back. Opening his eyes, he sees that he is encased in a net.
"Uri, burn this rope" orders Gokudera.
"Oh, no you don't" comes a muffled voice from above. KID is looking down into the hole, holding a can in his hand. Leaning down, he sprays the can in the Storm Guardian's face, his own gas mask covering his mouth so he doesn't become affected by it too. Gokudera turns his head and firmly shuts his mouth, determined not to inhale the smoke.
KID just smiles, and turns his attention to Juudaime next to him. Seeing Gokudera eye him, he moves his hand towards Juudaime, since Gokudera can't actually see Juudaime from his position.
"Tsuna's scream" he whispers, knowing that Gokudera can't see his mouth move, as it's hidden by the mask.
"Gaaaaaah" screams Juudaime,
Through a totally unconscious reaction, Gokudera immediately draws a breath and shouts "Juudai..me" before he passes out. With the conscious connection gone, Uri is forced to return to her ring, the flow of sustaining flames cut off.
"I'll be taking this." Claims KID, reaching down, through the net and retrieving Uri's ring. "She can't sit on me now."
He smiles, placing a new floor tile over the gap, matching the carpet pattern perfectly. No one can tell that it's been removed.
He looks over at 'Juudaime'. "So even the great Vongola can be fooled by dummies. So far they are just as easy to play with as the police. So much for proving themselves better. 2 down 5 more to go. Tantei-kun, Gokudera is restrained."
"Okay, I've made a note of it. Hibari is still in his room too." Answers Conan. "So did I do well?"
"You manipulated his weakness perfectly. His devotion to Tsuna is amazing. It's even an unconscious reaction to answer him when he screams, haha." Criticises KID, shaking his head at Gokudera's predictability.
"Gah, KID quick, be prepared. Someone is coming directly towards you... but, wait this can't be true..." warns Conan, mumbling the last part to himself.
"Tantei-kun what's wrong?" questions KID, turning to face the door again, Card Gun in hand
"Well, it seems as if they are running through the walls." Supplies Conan, disbelieving the readings on his map.
KID listens to the sounds around him. Coming closer is the sound of breaking bricks, along with a recognisable shout.
"Oh, Tantei-kun, it's Ryohei. I can hear his 'extreme' from here. From what I've heard about him, it seems plausible that instead of following the halls, he made his own path." Remarks KID, standing up from securing the floor tile.
A exceedingly loud crash signifies that Ryohei is dreadfully close.
"KID, watch out, he's standing infront of the east wall." Cautions Conan.
"Maximum..."
Oh shit. Tsuna said that's a massive burst of energy. I'd better make a run for it. KID immediately runs to the door and opens it. He has just enough time to duck and lay on the floor before Ryohei attacks
"...Canon" Ryohei punches the wall, and all of the walls directly infront of him crash to the floor. It's created a circular path from his position straight to outside.
Luckily KID comes out unharmed, being low enough to avoid the attack. However his position has been revealed.
"Riiiiight. I've found you now to the EXTREME KID!" yells Ryohei, jumping over the remains of a wall and over to KID.
KID turns over and aims his gun at Ryohei, shooting a card. Ryohei punches the card away from him, lights his ring and summons Kangaryuu. In a wave of yellow flames, the kangaroo is standing next to his master. KID scrambles away from the pair, not wanting to be knocked out by the kangaroo.
"Kangaryuu. Long time no see buddy." The pair head-butt each other before Ryohei slings his arm around the kangaroo's shoulders. "Ready. Cambio Forma"
So this is the Cambio Forma that I've heard about. Another skill they learnt in the future- a way for the animals to physically power up their users. The Cambio Forma is similar to the famous attack of their first generation counterparts, if I understood it correctly. For Ryohei it was... oh shit... it was a three minute power up, where his speed and physical power dramatically increased. I'm not very good against physical fighters like him. I can dodge, but how about stopping him? Well he's not too smart so...
In a blinding flash of yellow light, the kangaroo has disappeared, leaving in his place Ryohei with headgear and white boxing gloves on. He steps over to the now standing KID and punches him. KID barely dodges the hit, turning his body slightly so that it just scrapes the cape. Another punch, and KID moves his head to the side, before jumping back completely. Ryohei lunges in, a straight aimed for KID's stomach. KID backflips to dodge the attack, before landing in a crouch and attempting to sweep Ryohei off of his feet. Ryohei simply jumps over his foot, before punching KID again. This one grazes KID's shoulder and makes it almost instantly numb.
"Tantei-kun a little help here. I've used most of the traps in this area. All I need is one distraction and I can get him" KID requests through gritted teeth. Rising from the crouch, KID chucks what ammunition he has at Ryohei, which mainly consist of small sparklers, party poppers and other forms of confetti. Ryohei knocks these all away, stepping in time with the retreating KID.
What can I do? Let's see Ryohei...Ryohei Conan flips through the case files in his memory, searching for the one containing information on the boxer. Aha, here it is. Umm let's see, what can I do to help? Oh this will do.
Changing his bow tie to a girl's voice, and takes a deep breath, hoping that his memory is correct
"Onii-chan, I thought you said you weren't going to fight anymore" shouts Kyoko.
Conan had actually met her only a few hours ago. She was eating snacks with the others. In the end they had eaten in the house part of the mansion rather than Underground. There he had met her and another girl named Haru. It seemed that they were here for a surprise visit, but practically spent all of their time at the mansion when not at University.
Ryohei immediately froze in his tracks, a mixture of shock and protective instinct causing him to turn towards the source of the voice, which was behind him. "Kyoko?"
KID immediately takes advantage of this break in relentless punches, and sprays Ryohei with the Sleeping Gas. Falling to the floor, a yellow light absorbs the headgear and gloves, and jumps back into the ring. KID leans over and removes the ring from Ryohei's hand. I don't want to fight that again.
This time it's a length of chain that KID uses to tie the latest victim up with, since he's sure that anything less would be broken by the physical strength of the boxer. Once trussed up, KID places him in a nearby room, rolling him under a bed.
Wow, they really do have all different types of rooms here.
"Conan, thanks for that. It really shocked him. I've gassed him and placed him under a bed, tied up like a turkey. That's three now. Where are the others?" Reports KID. Deciding he's safe for a moment, KID sits on the bed, slightly breathless from the battle with Ryohei.
Looking at the map, Conan recites what he can see. "One person is still on the same level as you, but is still the other side of the building. One person is still in the center of the bottom floor. The last two are waiting in different positions outside. In fact one of them is moving towards your position from the outside. The other hasn't majorly moved for a while now. The path is clear if you want to escape the way you came in. You'll have to face whoever is still on the bottom floor though."
Thinking about his options, he decides that getting to the 'goal' is a good idea. "They would be checking the damage Ryohei did. That Maximum Canon reached all the way to the outside. I've got to get away from here then" He slips down the corridors, taking a few turns, and eventually arrives back at the stairs he went up earlier.
Soundlessly descending them, he stops at the bottom and uses a pocket mirror to scout the room out. All he can see is Lambo, apparently sound asleep under the table. An idea forms in KID's head and he chuckles quietly to himself.
"What was that for? Who's in the room?" questions Conan, highly suspicious of the laugh.
"It's Lambo, asleep again. I've got an idea on what to do to him. Wait until you hear this." Replies KID darkly. KID detaches his cape, and draws a different one out. Walking over to Lambo, he finishes his preparations, and leans over the child. He starts to breathe deeply and noisily, creating a 'Darth Vader' sound.
Hmm, what's that sound? Lambo-sama needs his sleep. Whoever suggested holding this game late at night is stupid. Conveniently forgetting he was the one who suggested the time of the heist, Lambo sleepily rubs his eyes, and slowly opens them.
"GYUPAAAAAAAAAA!" he screams, electric sparks releasing themselves from his body. It's a phantom he thinks before blacking out.
When Lambo opened his eyes he was met with the sight of a floating bloody mask and a pair of hands aiming a gun at him. As far as he could see there was no body attached to the head or hands. Lambo was so shocked that after screaming he fainted.
KID grabbed more rope from his store and tied the poor kid up. He thought about hanging the cow from the ceiling, but seeing how much he had scared the child already, KID decided against it. Instead, he ties him to the table leg.
"Kufufu, that's one way to create a nightmare, but let me show you how a true illusionist does it."
Fuck, where did he come from? "Conan, why didn't you warn me?" hisses KID angrily.
"Excuse me but I have been, you just weren't listening or answering back." Replies Conan, sounding rather annoyed at being ignored.
"What? I haven't heard anything since 5 minutes ago." Argues KID, defending himself. He would never be so careless as to not listen to the Chibi Detective.
"Kufufu, that would be my doing" interrupts Mukuro, leaning lazily on his trident. KID removes his mask, and looks at Mukuro sceptically. "I believe that Mammon put this best during the ring battles: 'An illusion takes over your perception. In other words, it takes over the brain, which has control over the five senses.' So, in context, I cast an illusion to make your brain think that you weren't hearing Conan shouting at you. When in reality he was." Mukuro smiles thinly, eyes shining with the small victory.
"But how did you know me and Conan were in contact?" questions KID, highly suspicious. No one should know that they are.
"Hmm? Well my little Conan was acting funny when we arrived. Who goes and talks to all of your enemies, one after another, just before a fight? I got suspicious and cast an illusion. Both of you saw me where I was, when in reality, I was following you. But I don't care about the trackers, or the speakers, for there is no one you can use against me. And I'm not going to tell the others either, why should I? I'm here for one reason and one reason only. To give you a nightmare."
An evil smile slides onto his face, eyes narrowing slightly. He stares directly into KID's eyes, and changes the kanji in his eye to 1: The path of Hell. Eye boring into KID's soul he taps his trident on the ground.
"Mukuro, No! you promised." Screames Conan down the connection.
