Episode 1
It was one early morning sunrise.
"Shinichi."
Ran Mouri, a young teenage woman wearing her casual clothing consisting of an orange shirt and white jeans, opens the door of the bedroom where Shinichi Kudo, or Conan Edogawa as he was currently, was supposed to be sleeping.
"?"
She noticed that there was no one there. The bed where he was supposed to be sleeping was tucked in, and the pillows were already placed on the top in perfect order. The books on the shelves were untouched. Overall, nobody was there.
She was worried. After checking the room one last time, she went downstairs to the office on the second floor and opened the door. She would find her father, Kogoro Mouri, reading the newspaper headlines about 'Night Baron Kid Saves The Day Once Again', showing a picture of a bunch of terrorists wearing gas masks that were all tied up.
"Otou-san," Ran called out to her father.
"Hm?" Kogoro would notice his daughter calling out for him. "What is it, Ran?"
"Um...Have you seen Conan-kun?" Ran asked, concerned.
"Oh, the boy?" Kogoro casually said, not worried in the slightest, as he went back to reading the newspaper and turning the page. "He said that he had an errand to run, you know, family business and all that."
"...Oh, I see," Ran became even more worried.
She knew. She knew the secrets behind the 'family business' so to speak. She, her father, and her mother. They all knew ever since Shinichi Kudo had seemingly disappeared off the face of the Earth. Only then to be replaced by Conan Edogawa, a.k.a. the shrunken Shinichi Kudo. A lot of explanations had to be discussed, and since the Mouris was the most trusted of the Kudos to keeping many of their secrets, then they would know about the true identity of Conan Edogawa is Shinichi Kudo very much earlier.
Kogoro would notice his daughter grow quiet, and would sigh as he said with a reassuring smile, tinge in humor. "Ran, relax, the boy would be alright. If he is anything like his father, then I'd be more worried about who is the next unlucky criminal to get his legs broken instead."
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
A leg broke. A crunching impact that had managed to take a crack at the punk's leg, sending the punk down on the ground and howling in pain, and then was knocked out by a violent punch to the face. An impossible feat was not for the static electricity that was present from the black shoes of an individual who had committed the injury, plus the knowledge of human pressure points and weaknesses.
This individual was no more than a young child, probably about six years of age. He was seen wearing a young boy wearing a dark blue top hat, suit, and caped overcoat, with a pair of white magician gloves, with a pair of non-reflective glasses that were covering one's face, thereby keeping his identity strictly hidden. Then there was the ever-present blank expression on his face, one that was considered very hard to decipher, being considered as the "poker face" that is put into effect, an inscrutable face that reveals no hint of a person's thoughts or feelings.
Two of the thugs, with tattoos on their skin, wearing disheveled clothing, one of them carrying a crowbar while the other was carrying a pocket knife, were now scared and shaking to their boots at the seemingly eerie scene before them. They knew just who this was. And they knew that they shouldn't underestimate this person. In fact, the proof was staring right at them in the face as they see many of their fellow thugs knocked out of the ground.
Night Baron Kid.
And this individual was now glancing towards them after slowly rising up from the ground, eyes narrowed beneath his non-reflective glasses, and speaking in a serious tone that seem quite alien to his own physical appearance as if he were a lot older than he looks in person.
"I'd highly advise that you two would surrender and try not to hurt yourselves any further, and leave the poor girl alone," Night Baron slightly glances towards a pink-haired girl who was just watching with interest, awe, admiration, and if his eyes didn't deceive him, feelings of her own that was directed on three sides of him, the single man who donned the cape and became a child. She wasn't afraid in the slightest. Then again, he wasn't surprised as he knew this person quite well. "And I mean this for both of your sakes."
The thugs unsurprisingly complied with the warning as they dropped their respective weapons, raising their hands and shouting "We surrender! We surrender!", but Night Baron simultaneously shot both of them with his grapnel gun, using one of its stun functions to fire blue-colored ring-like effects that upon contact, would turn both of the thugs into a sharp blue as charged particles overloaded their nervous system, sending the receiver's biosigns wild. In less than a second, the target's nervous system would return to baseline as the electrical impulses forced the organism to mentally and physically reset due to the shock to their system. And then, said thugs would fall to the ground, limped and unmoving.
And just like that, the very shortest battle was over. Over ten thugs and a few more were counted that had been knocked off of their tracks.
Night Baron would sigh heavily, lowering his grapnel gun and taking it into his pocket. Then turned towards the young girl who was watching. Of course, he thought exasperatedly, she was clapping.
"As expected, you seem to have done quite well, Conan-kun," the young girl said with a smile, praising him for a job well done.
"...You," Night Baron was annoyed, but it wasn't too obvious. "How many times has this been, Sato? What have I told you about staying away from alleyways?"
"Hmmm. ⭐"
Satō Matsuzaka.
A young teenage girl with fair skin and with thigh-length light bubblegum pink hair. A first-year high school student attending Makisuhara High School, a school somewhere around the neighborhood of Beika Ward. She has a part-time job working as a waitress in a cafe called Cure a Cute. You could say that she was an ordinary girl who is kind to a fault. An idol and inspiration to many people in her life. Social, outgoing, energetic. The genki type of girl.
However...
Night Baron knew better than that.
This person, if left unchecked, could pose to be a grave problem. In fact, the background regarding her was something that made Night Baron's blood boil, and it was one that he'd rather not talk about in public due to the very sensitive information and the vile nature of it. He knew that there were terrible people in the world; many different types. And he and his father had fought them all. He wasn't surprised, but he was no less angry about it, although he didn't seem t show it too much as part of his "poker face". The Doctor, the man that he considered to be his second father and godfather, did ask him specifically to keep an eye on her for a while. Why that was so was something that made Night Baron curious and concerned especially when it was the Doctor who was asking.
He could hear her giggling laughter as he would see her lower herself down and place a right hand on his right cheek.
"Amusingly...You can't exactly call me out on this because of the fact that you were practically born on an unlucky day, can't you?"
"Bringing up the 4th Birthday Joke already? Sonoko really is a bad influence on you," Night Baron raised an unimpressed eyebrow.
"But I'm right though, aren't I, Conan-kun? ⭐" Sato spoke in an amused tone.
"Anyway," Night Baron placed his left hand on Sato's right elbow, slowly lowering it away from his cheek. Then he begins to raise his left arm and press a few buttons, showing a holographic keyboard. "I'm gonna have to make contact with Megure-keibu and tell him about the recently captured thugs. You just stay put and try not to do anything rash."
"Oh come on, Conan-kun, when have I ever been such a bad girl? ⭐" Sato asked in a cute and innocent, but sugary tone.
Night Baron stopped from his tracks, raising an eyebrow. "Do you really want me to answer that?"
