Silentlane491- I do not own detective Conan or Magic Kaito
Chapter 9 Crosshairs on Conan
After dragging Agasa to the basement, the two scienitist being to test and investagate Conan's immortality. 'Can they stop...' Pandora complained. The two were investagating Conan's blood. Agasa lied to Ran, saying that his mom was calling and they were having a family conversation.
"This is amazing! Shinichi-kuns wounds are just healing, it's impossible!" Agasa was amazed by his regeneration rate, it was almost instant, for small wounds. "How long does it take for you to heal bullet wounds, and broken bones?" Agasa asked.
"The first time I got shot... It took me about five minutes. My broken legs took two minutes. According to Pandora, the more we're together, the stronger my regeneration becomes." Conan explained.
"Ah, Pandora. The little voice in you're head." Ai said as she looked into the blood.
'Can I...?' Pandora inquired.
'Sure.' Conan removed the contact and steps aside.
"Foolish children of man, blinded by ignorance. You believe science explains everything, and when it doesn't, you dismiss it. You two are fools." Pandora explained through Conan's voice, his eyes were now red. Ai's eyes widen when Conan's eyes and voice changed. It was in synch with another voice.
"Shinichi-kun...?" Agasa reeled at the sound of his voice.
"Who are you..." Ai demanded.
"I am Pandora, and Conan- I mean Shinichi is my vessel. He became my vessel on the night you went to the haunted forest. I have existed for ten thousand years, many people have waged secret wars to acquire me in hopes to live forever. Even to this day I am hunted by a group of humans who want to live forever and rule the world." Pandora explained.
"Stop acting around Shinichi-" Agasa was cut off by Ai.
"The Onyx conglomerate..." Ai looked foreword with a hard glare. "The Onyx conglomerate is a group that was founded by a man who discovered the legend of Pandora and kept the secret for himself. Only the Onyx conglomerate and a select few know about Pandora, most of those people are dead, in hiding, or insane... So it's true."
"It is true... Sherry..." Pandora smirked.
"Do not call me that, ever..." Ai glared at Conan.
"How did you even know...?" Agasa asked.
"I look in Shinichi-kun's memories, he doesn't like it... I know, I get it, I'll ask next time." Pandora said to herself.
"Who-" Agasa tilted his head.
"I think Kudo-kun is talking to Pandora." Ai watched, amused.
"I don't care if you have nothing to do, don't going through my memories!" Shinichi yelled, his left eye turning blue.
"But I don't have nothing to do! I try to read the books, but it's a memory! I'm so bored!" Pandora took over.
"I know it's not easy in my head." Conan took over.
"Understatement of the year Shin-chan." Pandora took over. "You were sooo~ cute as a baby!"
"Wh- What!? How do know what I looked like as a- DAMMIT, stop going through my-"
"ENOUGH!" Ai yelled. "I need to talk to Pandora." Ai sees both eyes are now red. "When will the Apotoxin be cured?" She asked.
"At the end of November, why?" Pandora asked.
"Then Kudo-kun with have to leave in the next three weeks." Ai answered. "It will look odd if you just disappear, and to make things worse, the man that shot you is still out there. He'll most likely try to find you and try to kidnap you." Ai said. "Just yesterday you were almost taken away and experimented on, they would stab, poke, and tear you apart until they find a way to take you out of Kudo-kun." This made Pandora look down. Conan takes over and looks at Ai.
"We know... Me and Pandora are in deep trouble, but if Snake does come around again, We'll stop him." Conan confirmed.
"But what about the Black organization?" Agasa asked. "If you come back as Shinichi Kudo, you'll put everyone in danger!"
"It's a risk we'll have to take, and if push comes to shove, me and Shinichi's souls will merge. Physicial we are one, as we are one in mind, but we are not merged one one soul." Pandora explained.
"What happens when your souls merge?" Agasa asked.
"We become a god..." This shocked both of the scientist.
"A god!?" Agasa's jaw dropped.
"What will you be able to do, part the sea?" Ai said sarcastically. Pandora glares through Conan's eyes.
"I'm not sure, I've been asleep for nine thousand nine hundred and eighty years. I was woken up and used against my will to revive the dead. If it weren't for Kaitou Kid, Japan would have been overrun by zombies and reavers." Pandora explained.
"Really?" Agasa looked confused.
"She's right, half of the people that have attacked me were already dead. I'll have to tell Ran that I'm going to leave soon." Conan said sadly. The boy got up and went back upstairs. He was greeted Ran and his friends.
"Hey Conan-kun, what did you have to talk to you're kaa-san about?" Ran asked.
"She wanted to check up on me!" Conan said cheerfully. Ran smiled.
"That's good! We have to go home now Conan-kun, it's time for dinner."
"Hai!" Conan followed Ran back home. As they were walking outside, they walk next to Shinichi's house. As they walk by the house, Conan feels as if someone was watching him but who? Inside the Kudo home, Saburu watched Conan walk next to Ran. It was odd because he could have sworn that his legs were both broken.
'Odd...' Saburu thought. He would have to look into it later.
Later (5:00PM)
Inside a massive skyscraper, a group of powerful men meet inside a large room around a table. A massive TV showed a silhouette of a man. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Tonight we discuss the boy, Conan Edogawa." A picture of Conan appears. "Snake, you know the boy, right?" Snake broke out in a cold sweat.
"I shot that little brat in the heart, he should be dead!" He glared at the boy.
"Maybe you missed?" A very large man in camouflage pants, black shirt and steel toed boots chuckled.
"Bull...!" Snake glared at the man. A smaller man wearing a trench coat, cowboy boots, black pants, a fedora and his eyes were slits.
"KEHEHEHEHEHEHE! Snake you fail at everything! You can't kill a man running around in a magician's get up and you can't kill a seven year old, nose pickin' piece of garbage, you're a joke!" He laughed maniacally while cleaning a bowie knife.
"Hold you're tonuge Hyena." A woman in a black pantsuit with her hair in a ponytail glared at the man.
"Heh! Shut up Hawk." The woman glares at the man.
"SILENCE!" A large man roared. He wore a black suit. He had long grey hair slicked back and has one eye. The other had a eye patch over it.
"Jeez, you don't have to yell Lion..." Hyena cringes.
"So, will we kidnap the child?" Spider asked. "Or shall we break him..." The Germen illusionist smiled.
"Yes, we must find out about how he has survived. If he has Pandora inside then we must find a way to remove Pandora from the child. We have been looking for Pandora for years, we will not be denied!" The boss roared. "I want to see how much the child can take. Hyena, deal with the boy.
"Can I use any means... Anything?" Hyena leened in.
"You can use anything you deem useful." Hyena smiled in a twisted fashion.
"KEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! This is gonna be fun! I can't wait to cut him, stab him, electrocute him, drowned him and set him on fire! KEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!" The man got up and make his way to the door. But the Onyx conglomerate boss stops him.
"Wait, Wolf..." The boss called out. Wolf was a tall man with slicked back hair, a diagonal scar a crossed his face, black trench coat with black hair with a few strains of grey hair. "I'm glad you're here wolf, make sure Hyena doesn't go over board. This made Hyena angry.
"WHAT! This stick in the mud! He'll just get in the way of my fun!" This time wolf speaks up.
"Sir, I think we should bring the boy in and have the scientist and have him inspected." Wolf suggested. This caused Hyena to glare hatefully at Wolf. Hyena was well known for his love of torture and his demented laugh. He is a psychopath who enjoys hurting and killing people for fun. Wolf was a man of who treats an assassination like a hunt. He "hunts" with a group of highly trained group of assassins called the pack. Wolf has a calm and collective attitude, the complete opposite of Hyena.
"You jackass, you just did that to ruin my fun!" The two men walk to the garage.
"Someone has to keep you in line you shameless bastard." Wolf glared at the man. The two arrive at the garage.
"Whatever, you better not get in my way weak-" Out of nowhere, ten assassins appear out of nowhere.
"The strength of the wolf, is in the pack..." Wolf explained. "The Hyena is a animal that hunts in a clan, why don't you have assassins to help you?"
"Because I'm not a weakling like you, your 'pack' can tag along if they want." Hyena sneered at wolf and his pack.
"Alright wolves, our mission is the capture of this boy." He shows them a picture of Conan Edogawa. "Any question?" One raises his hand. "Hai."
"What methods should we use?" One of the wolves asked.
"Non lethal take downs. If anyone gets in the way, knock them out, this is a capture mission. Our goal is not to kill anyone, but to capture the boy. We leave no trace. The plan is we split up and search the areas in Beika street that Conan Edogawa is known to go to, understand?"
"Understood sir!" All of the wolves salute and hop on their black Kawasaki ninja ZX-6R motorcycles and drive out of the garage. Hyena gets into his black Ford GT 2000 and drives out of the garage and gets on the highway to Tokyo.
"Non lethal takedowns, what bullshit. I'm going to find him, and if anyone gets in my way." A twisted and insane smirk crosses his lips. "I'll rip them apart! KEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!" With his tools and weapons in the back of his car, he made his way to Beika Street.
Ekoda, Kuroba household (6:30PM)
Kaito was in his house watching TV, when the doorbell went off. Kaito Got up and made his way to the door and opened it. "Hello Kaito-kun." It was a man in his thirties with graying black hair. "It is I, Kaze of the Tengu tribe in disguise as a human. May I come in?" He asked. Kaito let's him in and the two of them sat down.
"How do I know you're Kaze?" Kaito asked. Kaze pulled out a rock the size of his fist and throws it in the air.
"SHAAWW!" With a swiping motion of fingers, he cuts the rock into five pieces. "Tengu shippū-ken. The martial art style that my tribe learns." This convinced Kaito. "The tribe have decided to swear you to secrecy."
"Is that all?" Kaito asked. It sounded easy, too easy.
"What were you expecting, some sort of blood pact?" Kaze tilted his head. "Just don't tell anyone."
"Okay, I swear not to tell anyone." Kaito agreed. He and Kaze shook hands. As Kaze was going to leave, he turns around.
"Our tribe's shaman foresaw a coming disaster. A mad hound, a alpha wolf and his pack shall come and take Pandora to the evil ones, men of science will try to seperate the two, vessel and stone. If they succeed, then both will die." This shocked Kaito.
"WHAT! THEY'LL DIE!" Kaito shouted. "But I thought that separating them would turn Conan back into a mortal!"
"It has to be done right, if it isn't, then both will die." Kaze explained. Kaito stood up and grabbed his jacket.
"I got to stop them!" Kaito made his way to the door. "Are you going to help me or not!?" Kaze nodded.
"My disguise will last until tomorrow, but I can't use my true power." Kaito nodded.
"Alright, let's go!" The two run out of the house and make there way to Beika.
Beika, Mouri detective agency (6:56PM)
After combing the internet for clues about Pandora and the vessel, Ran, Sonoko and Masumi's quest... Ended in failure. Ran and Sera were talking to each other on the phone. "ARGH! We found nothing about Pandora or the vessel!" Masumi shouted. Ran sighed. The only thing they've found was about the Greek Pandora. No one has heard of a magic gem that grants immortality.
"I wonder if Sonoko found anything?" Ran wondered. just as she said this, her cell beeps. "I got another call. I have to go, bye." She presses a button and hangs up on Sera and switches to Sonoko. "Moshi Moshi?"
"Ran, I found someone that knows about Pandora!" Sonoko squeeled.
"You did, who?" She asked.
"His name is Hiraku Hideki. He knows a lot about Pandora and is willing to tell us about the magic gem. But we have to meet him at his house in Ekoda." Sonoko explained.
"That's not to far away." Ran smiled. "I'll call Masumi-chan and tell her about this lead." Ran hangs up and calls Masumi about the lead. The girls meet up and discuss their plan.
"So should we go through this?" Ran wondered. She wanted to know if Masumi and Sonoko were okay about doing this, because one wrong move and they could be in trouble. Both of the girls nod.
"Yeah!" Sonoko smirked. "This time, this will be a breeze with the deduction queen with you two!" Masumi smiles. She was wearing a black skirt with a leather jacket with a white short sleeve shirt. Ran was yellow sweater, blue denim jeans and her green and white tennis shoes Sonoko was a yellow and white stripe shirt, short sleeve short, tight short shorts with yellow pumps.
"Nothing to worry about Ran-chan, we'll get to the bottom of this!" The three girls still make there way to Ekoda.
Later, Ekoda (7:30PM)
The three girls arrive at the house on third street in Ekoda. It looked well maintained. "Well, here we are... You ready?" Masumi asked her two friends. The two girls nod and knock on the door and wait. A man opens, he had long shaggy black hair, he wore a short sleeve button down shirt with simple jeans and socks.
"Greeting girls. You wish to know about Pandora?" They nod. "Then enter..." The three enter the house, the living room wasn't much to look at. There was a two couches, in the center was a coffee table, a big screen TV and a bookcase behind the stairwell. "We go into the basement, that's were I've hidden my findings. With a pull of one of the books, the bookcase slides open and the three girls follow Hiraku. The basement looked like a library. "Long ago, before the rise of kingdom, royalty, and civilization. Humanity was but a scatter and young race. People lived and died as nomads. The nomad tribes would have small conflicts over hunting grounds and that was it, humanity was truly at peace."
"What does this have to do with Pandora?" Sonoko asked.
"The stone known as Pandora, it crashed into the earth. A nomad found this gem and held it under the moon. Red water seeped from the stone and he caught it in a flask made of clay. One day, he hurt himself and used the red water to clean out the wound. Then the wound healed."
"Then what happened?" Ran wondered.
"The stone was stolen by a group of raiders. After that, the stone passed many hands though conflict, war and bloodshed. Finally the stone found it's way to Japan as a token from foreign traders. But the traders were killed by a group of bandits who heard of this great treasure. They took it, but the bandits were hunted down by the imperial army, knowing that the stone was too dangerous. The stone was hidden away in a place home to many creatures that would defend it."
"Aokigahara..." Masumi replied.
"That's right. It laid hidden in dormant for many years." Haraku answered. Ran decided to speak up.
"What about the vessel?" Ran asked.
"... There was a old prophecy, The child of truth shall be chosen under the full moon. He shall die, then rise once more. The two shall become one in mind, body and soul and rise to godhood." Haraku finished. This caused the three girls gasp.
"A god!?" Sonoko gasped.
"Do you know who this child of truth is?" Masumi asked.
"All I know is that the boy seeks the one truth... That's all I know." Haraku said hearing this caused Ran to gasp silently. "I used to work with a group of people who worked to find this stone. I thought that they would use Pandora for good. But I learned that they planned to make themselves immortal and profit off the the gem by selling a pint of Pandora's blood for ungodly amount of money. They planned to rope in the public in taking 'free' doses, then hit them with a fees for continued usage since only a pint isn't enough to make you immortal. A second dose would cost one million yen per pint with rises prices, For example, if three people were sick and needed three doses. It would cost nine million yen, three pints times three doses. For the middle class to lower class worker, that amount would be impossible to make due to yearly cost and taxes... The people would be forced to work for the Onyx conglomerate for a payment plan, in other words, the Onyx conglomerate will enslave the people of japan... Even the entire world!" Haraku revealed the plan of the onyx conglomerate.
"... Is there a way to stop them?" Ran asked, her eyes hidden by her bangs.
"They have too much power, but if there plans are expose to the public, then we will win." Haraku explained. Ran was breathing heavily. "Are you okay...?"
"Those... Monster... They plan to make money off of peoples suffering and enslave them, they will PAY!" Ran shouted and punched a solid concrete wall. Her fist makes a indent in the wall. "We need to find the vessel and protect him from those monster!"
"Sorry about Ran-chan, do you have anymore clues?" Masumi asked.
"Well, I got the news from one of the old timers. These people were a part of an order known as the Seekers. For some reason, he knew when the vessel of chosen. He lives in Kawaguchiko, if you want to meet him, I can drive you there." Haraku smiled. "I don't have anything to do tonight." All of the girls look at each other and nod.
"Sure, we have to find out who the vessel is and protected Pandora." The three leave the basement and get into Haraku's mini-van and make another trip to Kawaguchiko. All the while, Ran was in deep thought.
'It can't be... Can it... Shinichi...' Ran thought sadly.
A/N Will Kaito and Kaze stop wolf and hynea? Will Ran, Sonoko and Masumi find the vessel? Who are the seekers, and will they stop the onyx conglomerate evil plan for world domination? They might, with some help, but who?
